The Long-Awaited Cor's Secret Diary: Cave Crawl Edition

Part 2

Kanton detected a trap, so we threw in some of the old weapons. Was rather glad not to trigger that one myself - whole roof came crashing down, filling the pit that opened up.

Beyond that were three doors. Listened at one and heard metal on metal, so stayed well away from that. Opened one with some wind noise. There was this long-fingered man-thing up in the corner - scared the hell out of me, so I shut the door again. Just in time too, since it sprang at me. Asked Barg to hold the door though, until we got it jammed shut. Behind the third door seemed to be a stone wall, but it turned out to be voodoo and had a key behind it that fit a door back in the crypt.

Stairs and another door behind that. We opened the other door and the lights went out - same sort of creepy magic dark that the druids sprung on us. Cedar got grappled by something icky with tentacles, but Barg and I got him out okay. His bird actually got swallowed but he had it do some magic thing that zapped the thing that ate it, so it got spit out and was fine.

No one was too eager to go back in there, so we decided to accept setting off another shrieker (which Barg then promptly deflated). Woke up some freaky shuffling fungus. Pulled off a well-coordinated fallback and took them down with ranged attacks without ever getting into melee. Moment of worry when the shocker lizards showed up but they just dragged off the dead funguses. After all that it turned out the room was a dead end, so we bowed to necessity and went back to the still-dark room. Barg threw things at the ceiling and determined they were up there and even killed one blind, but in the end we just marched through holding polearms so if they dropped on us they'd get the point first, and made it up the stairs and back to the smirking druids.
