About this episode
Trouble in Zur Algud Ch. 1
With the battle still underway, the group uses all they have in their various kits. The cleric begins to look hurt, but the fight is far from over. In retaliation towards Thorak, the cleric casts Harm on one half of the Slash Bros. Valen, trying to test his luck with his magical flask, drinks an Elven Ale called PolyPilsner, which polymorphs the monk into a canary. Chan summons a flame strike on the flesh effigy, and it does even more damage than expected; as a result, her flames that she's done so well to control and suppress thus far are now beginning to go wild. A giant sunbeam from the Mad Cleric takes out a good number of the team, rendering them unconscious. The team's own cleric, Thorak, helps Chantico back up with a Cure Wounds spell. As she comes to, she uses burning hands on the cleric of Hastur, finally putting an end to him.
They don't have time to celebrate; they pick up their fallen allies and begin to make a fast exit. The blob makes an unsettling sound that brings back some "familiar" faces. The andrite in the mines begins to explode as the group attempts to flee and fight as they head out of the mines. Chan calls to the Daughters of Creation and Enya to aid in the safe exit of her friends and companions. Calling three scorching rays towards the monsters closing in on the group, which coalesces into a sphere surrounding the group as Enya attempts to teleport them out. It is successful, and in a flash they are outside the mines, and as they look behind them, they feel the immense explosion that erupts from the mines. After the smoke and dust settles, they realize that Chan is no longer with them.
The party is embraced, arriving in Tradeshore as heroes, as Hanith Blackburn sent word of their heroic deeds. They are offered a reward to Zur Algud to celebrate the upcoming Festival of the Children, accommodations at the Ebon Wing Lodge, a 10g-a-day stipend, and access to the family's teleportation circles to travel to and from. We finish with the varying accounts of what the party did in the three weeks leading up to their travel for the festival. From one adventure to the next, they sharpen their skills, broaden their horizons, and prepare for a time of reprieve and revelry if it were only that simple.
There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…
