Polychotomy

VII 417/4/9

So, we decided to try and sleep again. We picked the room where Camus found the swarms. Yet again it was not to do as one the the ape-like creatures attempted to grapple with Kalon. It teleported away after we surrounded it. We pressed back on to the stairs and going through one room just taxed me like crazy. I’m feeling weak.

Down the stairs and around the corner found us involved with some of the most bizarre creatures to date. I hurry over to check out a wide pedestal and it turn out to be a monster. It starts paralyzing people and drawing them in. I hit it until it sagged. I didn’t notice Kalon engaged with a couple of rather large ape-like crature again, with bug heads and no wings. One fell over when I hit it with my flaming shurikens, but when the other one was dead things really begin to happen. The ape things flipped themselves inside out. Suddenly we’re facing a huge cube of quivering flesh, viscera flailing everywhere. The thing absorbed our poor beagle companion as it pushed me to a wall. It’s rough being from Camus’s past I’m beginning to realize.

I popped open another door and we find Tante and Delphiine’s sister locked in cages. Some teleporting trickery gets everyone out. We’ve managed to find a portal in another office type room and we’re now deciding whether to teleport, take our found people back to the village, or face the Moth behind door number three….....

The xp report

that’s a total of 13750 (level 11) or 10050 (level 12), among six PCs, which means 2292 XP (level 11) and 1675 XP (level 12). the pig now levels up, and mr.mar is in what we in the business like to refer to as “sneezing distance”.
