light shimmers crashing into one of the critters dropping it we finish off the remaining two dust imp bavon rushes over to liu and lays on hands helping him almost fully recover his god disapproves posted by grinnock 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels ben dagra dccrpg dnd ig play report december 17 2018 ben dagra session 1 gold pit of the forgotten king presented as written by the party chronicler the best thing to ever happen to my game group enjoy dubious noblemen so many bulls and a mighty duck we begin in a hookah lounge tucked away in the weaver s district the subterranean looms hummed below tended by their monstrous weavers this is our hangout a spot to unwind and grab a drink to dull the memory of our daily toils recently some uppity nobleman showed up and started buying drinks for everyone he s been doing this for weeks rubbing shoulders making friends assuring us that he too is a member of the middle class tonight he finally revealed what he s up to he gathered a bunch of us around presumably the most trustworthy among us a dwarven stonemason felix the halfling trader morton the gravedigger another gravedigger from a different guild a butcher who always carries half a side of beef with him an elven falconer a cheesemaker a squire training under a possibly fictitious knight a minstrel and a jester sister and brother an animal trainer elmer the urchin a cutpurse a dwarven ratcatcher liu chang zhan rice farmer and anatidaeomancer sneed the beggar and spider bite survivor the noble introduced himself as darius hamenoy and rambled on about his impeccable pedigree while the rest of rolled our eyes yawned drank some more and tended to our duck s finally he got to the point he apparently was sifting through his opulent library and opened up a dusty disused tome and a parchment map fell out it appeared to be a map to a fantastic lost treasure buried in a tomb of antiquity he called it the gold pit of the forgotten king or was it the forgotten pit of the golden king dammit maybe it was the forgotten gold of the king pit i don t know i was drunk in any case lord darius of hamenoy proposed that we set off together to recover this treasure in hindsight we probably should have negotiated terms but i think we were all eager to escape our boring jobs digging graves begging cutting purses catching rats etc so we agreed immediately and set off on the following morning we journeyed into the scabrous wastes following the cursed ridge for half a day s journey guided by darius s map finally arriving at an unremarkable spire of sandstone it just looked like any other part of the arid terrain aside from a small crack near the base upon further examination we discovered that this crack was large enough to squeeze through our brave squire donned his helmet demanded a torch from some other weak fool and squeezed into the spire the butcher raised up a holy symbol and followed struggling to get his side of beef through the gap inside the spire it looked more like a well it descended about 100 feet and had a cobbled spiral staircase leading to the bottom sir brave squire led the way to the bottom where we found a tall arch of stone but the entryway was a solid wall of stone upon the wall was the image of a monstrous fanged bull with a large hole where the mouth should have been lord darius informed us that the map says only noble blood will unbar the gate so he stepped forward and put his arm in the hole it worked well sort of chalk this one up to user error with his arm in the hole the stone mechanism slides open but unfortunately crushed and ripped darius s arm off his body he collapsed to the ground screaming like a nobleman our elven falconer fashioned a makeshift tourniquet while the minstrel sang a soothing tune to the doomed darius miraculously the bleeding stopped so we continued on with no effort to retrieve the poor guy s severed arm ahead of us we saw an ascending tunnel motifs of warrior kings and bulls were painted on the walls something glittered on the floor ahead maybe a dusty gem one of our halflings and one of our dwarves rushed toward it a footrace for riches or death in this case the halfling grabbed the gem but it turned out to be a trap mechanism a giant stone block dropped out of the ceiling and crushed the poor little guy then the block began sliding down toward the rest of us smearing halfling guts all the way down the ramp sadly the animal trainer and elmer the urchin got crushed but the rest of us managed to dodge out of the way heartlessly we continued on opening a door into a hallway leading left or right the squire immediately charged to the left with his longsword raised leading us to another room with a treasure chest and a suit of armor one of our dwarves they all look the same right lit the two torches on the wall while the cutpurse stuck a dagger into the chest prying the lid open glittering gems pile of coins cutpurse pockets it all the squire examined the armor rack it was a fine set of scale mail a copper sword in a scabbard the squire looked it over thoroughly suspicious of traps after whats his face just died in the last room but didn t find any pressure plates or anything else out of place he donned the scale mail and handed the copper sword off to some other weakling the butcher and morton the gravedigger grabbed the torches off the wall and we headed off in the opposite direction what we found was an enormous room the floor was deep deep sand morton tried to kick some away to see if there was a stone floor beneath but it was just sand and more sand while he was busy staring at his feet the rest of the party was transfixed by the giant statue of an enormous bull dominating the center of the room the cutpurse scampered up ahead to check out the bull while the rest of us cautiously followed then an enormous worm rose up from the sand and devoured the cutpurse s face with its scything jaws then it dove back into the sand the squire rushed in toward the spot where the cutpurse disappeared under the sand another worm leapt out and bit the squire apparently this also triggered an impact trap in his cursed armor releasing spring loaded spikes into his body and killing him instantly but we had no way of knowing that and just assumed that these horrific worms were going to devour us all just then another worm leapt out at our butcher trying to bite him but instead it bit into his side of beef it then tried to rip and tear at the meat but the beef was too strong too tough the poor worm ended up ripping its own face off the butcher stood triumphant in his beef jerky armor morton and the other gravedigger rushed at the worm that just killed the squire and stunned it with their trusty gravedigging shovels then felix the trader ran over and stabbed it to death it lets out a sad whining whimper drowned out by the annoying celebratory cheer that felix let out with one worm defeated we made quick work of the other two that couldn t handle our battle superiority felix inspected the massive stone bull statue one of its eyes was an empty socket the other glinted with the yellow sparkle of a gemstone felix pried it loose a decent sized topaz gem we explore some more finding a short hallway that got thicker and thicker with cobwebs toward the end liu chang zhan rice farmer and anatidaeomancer stepped forward and set his duck on the ground commanding it to head down the hall the little mallard waddled away obediently triggering multiple pressure plates and dart traps aimed for a normal humanoid s chest height the whole group celebrated the butcher set the cobwebs on fire with his torch revealing another doorway at the end of the hall the door opened into a big room covered in webs on the ground were several low figures disfigured mounds covered with webbing two of us went to investigate the first one turned out to be a dead man really just a husk wearing ancient fine robes clutching some kind of staff with a topaz gem felix appropriated said gem immediately morton grabbed his gravedigger s shovel and dug into another one this one also contained a dead person however it shortly erupted into a million awful spiders that devoured his face then disperse rip morton liu chang zhan the rice farmer poked and prodded another of the web mounds triggering a poison needle trap but he miraculously managed to dodge it and then giant spiders attacked they were hiding on the ceiling the whole time also two of them are on fire just so you know sneed the spider bite survivor threw his flask of oil trying to catch the uninflamed spider one on fire but the flask misses butcher attacked one of the flaming spiders with his meat cleaver and crushed its skull he had to use two hands to pull his cleaver loose and the spider turned over and curled up the ratcatcher gave another spider a solid thwack and the other gravedigger smashed in with his shovel the ratcatcher and rice farmer both get bit badly by the spiders felix stabbed with his shortsword hacking the spider s mandibles clean off the lone remaining spider succumbs to the flames engulfing it we explored the rest of the room and found an altar a cask containing a golden statue of a bull another corpse wearing leather armor we headed back to the sand room and opened up the door to the south i was a creepy twisting hallway every few feet there were ancient rotting tapestries hanging from the ceiling getting in the way we pick our way through and entered another large chamber in the center of the room was an altar the eastern wall was completely covered with large tapestries the cheesemaker sneaked over and peeked behind the curtain to see a large stone cabinet he slipped behind the tapestry unnoticed and tried to quietly open it a poison needle pricked his arm but he still managed to get it open he and started shoveling as much gold and silver into his pouch as possible even though his arm felt like it was on fire from the poison coursing through his veins at the same moment we heard a shrill piercing scream maybe a whine or a shriek but it got louder and louder until finally a monstrous shade ascended from the altar the skull of a bull long waving shape that howled threateningly the ratcatcher threw his net at it to everyone s surprise it did absolutely nothing the shade pointed a ghostly finger at the ratcatcher felix charged in screaming leaping off the altar and plunging his shortsword into the shade he just passed through harmlessly with zero effort at all the shade killed the ratcatcher the gravedigger swung his shovel but it didn t seem to do much thinking fast the jester rummaged through his pack and found a vial of holy water he tossed it at the shade causing it to screech and wail then it popped and went screaming back into the void we found an ancient scroll a goblet full of mummified organs sacrificial tools inlaid with precious metals with the shade banished back to the void we headed back to the big room with the bull statue two of us clambered onto the giant bull statue and placed the topaz gems back into its eye sockets the sandy floor began swirling beneath our feet in a massive whirlpool sucking us downward into the pit sneed barely managed to escape the vortex which revealed a stepped terrace down to the bottom the bull statue was now sitting on a tall pedestal the base of which had an archway revealing stairs leading down we descended into a chamber with spikes all over the floor long catwalks led to the other side of the room but the ancient stone arches had crumbled in places leaving gaps on the walkway we found some rope and tossed it across the gap lodging it around a stone the minstrel tried to cross but fell down onto the spikes miraculously she managed to survive she picked her way around recovered the rope and helped the rest of us cross the chamber we entered a great throne room arches flanked the aisle leading down toward a throne on the throne sat the desiccated corpse of the forgotten king as soon as we stepped into the room an enormous black aurochs materialized behind the great throne breathing smoke and flame billowing out over the throne and the corpse of the king in a cloud of ash next thing we knew the forgotten king was sitting astride the beast charging toward us the elven falconer drew his longsword and ran forward hoping to flank the beast a gout of smoke and ash billowed out the beast let out a mighty bellow the rest of us saw a vision of a thousand ghostly bulls rushing at us the jester couldn t escape his soul was dragged away leaving his lifeless body on the stone floor sneed was almost killed but his soul barely pulled back from the brink the minstrel dove for cover behind a pillar and hit the beast with a thrown dagger sneed swung his club at the bull s head wildly missed and ended up falling flat on his back stunned mortimer the trapper stepped out and launched a rock with his sling distracting the giant beast while the dwarven stonemason swung himself up onto the aurochs positioning himself behind the forgotton king at the same time the elven falconer spun around and slashed at the aurochs landing a vicious hit the forgotten king stood up and swung a giant axe at the elven falconer landing a nearly mortal wound the minstrel punched sneed stood back up mortimer fired another sling projectile hitting the forgotten king in the forehead the king shuddered and for just a heartbeat the king and the bull of faded out of existence the dwarven stonemason raised his hammer and smashed the king from behind it crushed his skull the aurochs faded out of existence and the king s bones clattered to the floor crumbling to dust with the king and his steed defeated we looted the treasury posted by grinnock 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dccrpg dnd ig play report rpgs
