Tarvinir returned to “normal” and cast Detect Magic. Led them to secret submerged chamber of Protean Clay, that had magically replaced Srehn with a clay simulacra when she fell into the pool at the bottom of the well shaft. They figured that out, dug their way to the surface to avoid climbing up the slippery shaft, and then hupped back to Castle Von Himmel where the the good doctor kindly transferred their minds back into their petrified bodies from the dead cthonians, built a kiln, and de-petrified the party’s meat shields with a minimum of scalding or suffocation happening. Vlad got his body patched up, functional if not particularly pretty.

Rowr...

We left off with the players stomping up to the gates of the keep. Vlad scouted out some bugbears hiding behind the towers’ murder holes ready to throw spears.

Commentary:

Not all too much to say about this session. They figured out the mystery of the Protean Clay, and schlepped back to Von Himmel Manor with a load of the stuff and got Ritzy, Greed, and Tysis handily de-petrified. 

Now that everybody was all limbered up and put back together, they decided to take another crack at the mysterious hag Granny Maw and her army of bugbears that had occupied their rightfully stolen keep and catacombs at Ghoulardia Pass. The session wrapped up with their initial sortie on the front steps of Cardille Keep. 

Stay tuned for more mayhem on Wednesday.
