Summary 03/21/2018

Last time our heroes had just returned to their new Laughing Moon Tavern and Inn. After a most excellent performance by Aust to the patrons in the tower, Morthos had accessed the secret door to the Laughing Moon’s (LM) underground headquarters.

Sounds of battle could be heard below!

Racing down, the adventuring company came across a battle between a monstrous tentacle with many smaller tentacles coming off it and attacking. The Warlock had created a protective shield where, Tylln (unconscious), Raf (badly wounded), the cat and the old cook (as well as Echo the mimic chest!) were all hiding behind.

Never to leave an opponent unchallenged, the party went in to defend their friends and HQ! They noted quite a few dead drow elves as well.

After battling for some time, they defeated the shadowy tentacle which seemed to emanate from the cavern where the statue to Tharizdun the Chained god stood.

Discovering a wounded female drow in the training room they learned the drow had tried to invade the Laughing Moon ‘s HQ and inadvertently awoke the Chained One as well. The leader of the drow forces was last seen in the cavern.

Aust messaged Nanfoodle to bring the 100’ ghostly chain of Evocation & Enchantment to rebind Tharizdun and put him to slumber once again..

With Morthos and Aust leading due to their arcane knowledge, and ariel maneuvers by Arjun (with his batwings!) and Rurrick (with his armour that allowed him to fly) the party was successful!

Wounded and guarded by a displacer beast, they found the leader of the drow a female mage/warrior/priest. Matron of the House – no less! Some interesting negotiations and they now have a truce and potentially in future alliance with a Drow House.

The party then meets up with old friends and staff of the tavern and inn. Some interesting information is found out about the staff. Another performance by Aust is with some support and effects by Reinhard and others is showing the Laughing moon tavern to be THE place to go!

Thurr Tynne is found in the tent encampment. More pickles are bought cooked, flamed and eaten!

• Reinhard withers ALL planet life within 20’ radius.. a few tress and much grass are no longer!
• Rurrick eats a pickles with no visible effect.. for now! 😊
• Rurrick eats another.. a massive organ (music playing) drops from the skies and crushes Rurrick and Reinhard (Arjun dodges!) it starts playing. Then it starts following Rurrick around! After some fun, the party realizes it obeys the opposite command that Rurrick tells it. People are getting annoyed by the loud music..
• Aust eats one and everything and everyone turns yellow within 40’. EVERYTHING! Some mad scrambling.. some try to wash off to no effect..
• Aust eats another and the yellow fades away…. And now he can turn his neck 360 degrees like an owl!
• Rurrick eats another and the music organ fades away as the town guard run up… his stamping, punching make kissing sounds on impact!
• Were there more..?

After closing time at the tavern, a staff meeting with the party.. the heroes get some rest until the next day. They need to see the Cardinal and the Black Duke still holds the 1^st rod of Three!
