The Laboratories

Symbiont started into the chamber traipsing through the filth on the floor as if it wasn't here.  Baru and Seglun followed slightly behind followed by Ralom, Grunyar and Varrid.  Arvien stopped in the entryway and watched the mind-flayers pacing on the ledge.  She waited until the nearest mind-flayer had turned to move back toward the tunnel exit and cast summon monster, an anklyosauer, right in front of him.

Broken Ones

Grunyar pulled himself out of the water.  There was a small area of cave floor surrounding the water.  Ralom motioned for everyone to gather around and he would dole out healing, which was badly needed by some of the party.  Everyone was wet but glad to be alive as they gathered on the shore.  There appeared to be passages to the southwest and northeast from where the party stood.  Grunyar moved toward the northeast but stopped quickly as he saw two mind flayers driving five humans before them.

Bloody, Bloody Remnants

As each hero awakened they were sorely confused. Their bodies did not feel right.  What were these weapons wondered Ralom, they were certainly too small.  Baru searched for Oathmaker but it was not to be seen.  Varrid couldn't determine how to swing that huge sword.  While Seglun found a crossbow strapped to her waist.

Vampiric Illithids???!!!

The next thing Ralom saw was a mist rising from Annitella and passing through everyone'w head in the wink of an eye.  A blank expression crossed their faces, then they began to look around with squinting eyes.  As it passed through Ralom, he heard Annitella's voice commanding, "Fight, fight to the death!"

Sleepless Nights

Varrid was content at seeing a blue sky, verdant grass and breathing in fresh air.  The field the party found around them was lush and beautiful.  It appeared to be untouched by either human or animal.  Arvien send Summergale up and around to scout the area.  Summergale returned with unwelcome news.  There was no evidence of habitation of any kind.  No smoke, no farms, no villages, nothing, not even trees that had been felled by anything other than weather.

Full Circle

Baru was ready, "Let's find Yagno now and kill him!" 
Arvien was less sure, "Can we use the Talisman against him?  Or will it work on the demon?  Madar was convinced that it had no power."
Seglun was already headed toward the stairs up to the next level.

The Master Exposed

Drovic was hollering for support, something invisible had rushed past him.  Baru was shocked that the Talisman was missing.   Varrid headed toward the door to the bridge trying to cover an escape.  Meanwhile Petchko's skin and frame were melting and reforming in a strange fashion.  The entire room was a charnel chamber, bodies were strewn everywhere, one priest was muttering to himself and walking in circles.  Bolsh was standing at the pedestal seemingly transfixed by the horror before him.
