We continue in the underdark along route “D” -- level ground underneath deep tree roots, but not far below the surface.
We encounter a giant blue and white mottled spider in a 45 ft square cavern. We fight it and it disappears. We find three bodies of creatures with dark gray skin, black hair, and sharp canine like teeth. We leave them and continue on for a couple more hours. The party encounters another cavern full of refuse where we battle two serpentine creatures. There are 6 tunnels; the middle ones lead to the dark creatures. Tinkles explores the middle one and hears a number of hostile creatures approaching. Dania turns into a wolf and detects the left tunnel to be clear of hostiles. The party runs down that tunnel with the creatures chasing after them. We land into another refuse cavern and go up the left tunnel 15 ft off the ground and the hostiles don’t follow any further since they don’t know which way we went.
We follow the main tunnel that is large enough to accommodate a hobgoblin as the others only fit a halfling in a crawl position. We travel for 3 hours and one of us picks up on sound of trickling water.
Fork in the road -- one has sound of water, the other does not. The party follows the water. Every 10 ft the tunnel slopes upwards and it’s also getting colder. There’s a strong light source ahead. Griff pauses and continues, 20 sec later, they can see the outline of a person in front of them.
We can observe a large cavern with 6 ogres gathered at a large tree in the center. Dania performs the ley line ritual and detects the frozen blue tree to be a large source of power (for Jaslex). Griff and Callie scout the tunnels and discover alternative routes to the same cavern.
Griff sets a distraction and calls the ogres over to him and the 6 follow him into the tunnels. Meanwhile, Callie and Tinkles defend one of the tunnels; Tinkles casts shatter to cause the tunnel to collapse a bit on the 3 ogres who returned. Dania set spike growth in front of the collapsed tunnel.
The 3 ogres approach Tinkles in the tree (after suffering damage) and hit her unconscious. Grigtung and company hit the other ogres and knock most of them out with Flint making the killing blow on the last standing female ogre. Callie heals Tinkles and together they approach the collapsing tunnel and finish the collapse. The remaining 3 ogres suffer damage and die at the edge of the spike growth.
Dania completes the scroll ritual and the tree explodes but exposes a black thorn in the heart of the tree.
We take the black spike and escape down the tunnel west.
Grigtung, Ilaxi, and Nogl go off ahead. Grel stays back with the party. The party decides to rest off to the side. Grel leaves to find Grigtung.
The party rests up and Flint leads the party to the sewer. Flint and Griff explore a large chamber with a large support pillar (made of brick) in the south side of the room. The pillars are connected to stone work buttresses.
Grigtung reports that Jaslex is back in her temple.
