The World of Yön

Session Date:  August 10, 2007.  Campaign Date:  1 through 3 Brighor 1460 TR.

1. [1 Brighor] The party, having rested, opens the trapdoor again and descends to the second level of the old mine.  Allyrianna fails to spot a damp spot on the floor for being other than what it was and steps into a gray ooze (CR 4), which gives her a friendly hug full of secreted enzymes and acids.  The heroes respond with deadly force and the gray ooze soon lies in a smoking puddle at Allyrianna’s feet, along with the remains of her armor and clothing.  Marick loans her a large shirt to cover up and casts a mage armor spell on her to offer some protection.
2. Following the narrow, twisted corridor, Allyrianna spots two shadows (CR 3 each) lurking in alcoves when she notices that their movement doesn’t match that of shadows that should be cast by Cart’s everburning torches.  Protected by the mage armor spell, the shadows cannot touch Allyrianna, but Marick suffers the strength-sapping cold touch of one of them before spells and swords slash the shadows to ribbons.
3. The corridor opens into a large chamber that served in the past as a chapel to the dwarven god, Curcarridan.  The stone benches, altar and bas-relief artwork on the walls have survived largely intact.  Cart searches the altar and finds a hidden compartment.  He searches for traps but fails to find the glyph of warding (CR 3) protecting the compartment.  He opens it and the glyph explodes.  Cart nimbly jumps on top of the altar and avoids any damage.  Allyrianna—who, ironically, was next to Cart complaining that the compartment might be trapped—takes full damage from the explosion, leaving several holes burned in the shirt she borrowed from Marick.  Sinjiin, who was also nearby, dodges and only takes a singeing.  Inside the compartment are two fine linen altar cloths (50 gold pieces each), a pewter tankard etched with pastoral scenes that is later discovered to be an everful mug, a brass brazier for burning incense (25 gold pieces) and a small sandalwood box with a cube of incense of meditation and fourteen cubes of non-magical incense.
4. The heroes proceed through the other entrance into the chapel and into a nearby room that may once have been a storeroom but is now empty.  Water seeps down the walls and dampens the floor, where another gray ooze (CR 4) waits for Allyrianna to step in it.  Allyrianna obliges but manages to keep her tattered clothing intact.  The ooze is quickly destroyed.
5. Just beyond that room is a short corridor that lead to a T-shaped intersection.  To the right, the heroes find a stone-lidded trapdoor.  To the left, what appeared to be a dead-end hallway is found to have mud-caked stone doors at the end.  The mud is removed and the lock quickly opened.  Inside are flat wooden crates of rusty five-pound iron ingots, twelve to a crate.  One of the crates is marked, in Dwarvish, “Cold Iron”.
6. The heroes open the stone trapdoor and descend into a small chamber with a short hallway opening into a natural cavern.  As Cart leans into the cavern to look around, he becomes entangled in fine webs crossing that cavern opening.  Ten small monstrous milk-white spiders (CR ½ each) swarm to attack.  The webs prove a hindrance, but the spiders are quickly destroyed.  The noise of battle attracts the attention of six larger spiders (Medium monstrous spiders, CR 1 each).  The heroes deal with these as well, but Krall succumbs to the poisonous bite of one of them and is barely able to walk.  The heroes decided to withdraw to Harvale to heal and re-equip.
7. [2 Brighor] The party returns to Harvale to rest, heal and re-equip.
