Session 213- A Return to Barovia Part 63; Bluetspur 3
3/8/2026
Tim and Fecus choose to implement the Keepers of the Feather
Spirit Board to get a read on which direction in the tunnel to take.
They ask the Board the question “Where is the Cloak of the Bat?”
The response is spelled out RIGHT TUNNEL ENEMY.
Before proceeding down the tunnel, Fecus gets on his Flying Carpet
and uses a Scroll of Invisibility. Tim puts on his Ring of Invisibility.
After walking for quite awhile they arrive in a cavern at the site of
where an explosion happened that revealed the scattered remains
of a wall of a subterranean structure. Past where once the wall
stood is a room with glass containers and other high-tech equipment.
2 Nothics are scavenging and don’t notice Rams. Tim and Fecus
hear the creatures whisper that they should leave before “it” appears
again. As Tim and Fecus observe and ponder, multiple tentacles
burst through the floor and drag 1 of the Nothics down. The second
Nothic escapes through the circular door to the Central Chamber.
Rams follow the escaping Nothic into the Central Chamber where
they discover 3 Mind Flayer corpses. Several other circular doors
are labeled in Mind Flayer script. Fecus uses his Scroll of
Read Languages to decipher “Tadpole Chamber”, “Brain Library”,
“Transporter Room” and the “Cloning Chamber” where they had
entered the facility.
They choose the Tadpole Chamber first and encounter an injured
Mind Flayer at a control panel in a room that is centered on a
Tadpole Pool filled with a green liquid containing thousands of
Mind Flayer Tadpoles. The injured Mind Flayer throws down a
little square of paper near Ezmerelda’s feet and it turns out to be
one of Team Rams’ business cards. Shelby casts Command:
Comply on the MInd Flayer and it says it will give them the Cloak
of the Bat if they help save the tadpoles.
The MInd Flayer casts Mind Blast affecting Ezmerelda, Fritigern,
Drasha, Victor, and Tim.
Shelby casts Heat Metal on the Tadpoles’ Pool while Gugula and
Fecus deal melee DMG to the creature. Tim and everyone recover
when the MInd Flayer is killed and Tim takes the Cloak of the Bat.
They go into the Brain Library and immediately trigger a fight with a
Grell and an Intellect Devourer. That is a vicious fight as they are
also getting psionic communications from the various brains. One
tank has M.L. Ruthwell’s name on the name plate along with the
Ludendorf University Docket Number that had been assigned to
Rams in Lamordia. Ruthwell claims he and Rams had escaped
from the facility before its destruction 2 weeks ago. He doesn’t
remember the Specimen or the letters they received from him.
Other brains are pleading for help or lashing out. Notable brains
were the Thymrelgot (young Black Dragon) and Za’znadred the
Githyanki Knight fighting on behalf of the Lich Queen Vlaakith.
Tim used Knock to gain access to the Transporter Room where
they confront the Unspeakable Horror that nearly kills Tim, Victor,
and Fritigern before they defeat it and read the instructions to
Transport…
They program the console to operate the Transporter and they
all pile onto the Transporter pad…
They find themselves transported to different padded cells where
they are imprisoned and bound by straight jackets… only Tim is
not alone, Elise is there…
