- Retroactively Theophania, during their short rest in the underground safe house, remembers something she threw into her Bag, and attaches what looks like a small tube to the side of her left bracer.
- Before they head out to follow the zombie footprints, Osiris asks Jimmy about Idris and there is a bit of a tangent from Rusty
- Jimmy says a guy came to him and wanted to purchase body parts, so he got Wenton to steal things from the temple
- Idris is tall, broad shouldered, longish dark hair and a lieutenant for Jimmy and the zombies got him in the basement
- Theophania starts thinking about Lord Blackmore and his family, and she remembers that her cousin has a friend who works for the neighboring state said that Lord Blackmore is an attractive man who seems like a good person to work for
- His wife seems nice and is into painting and gardening and likes animals
- There is one son of the Blackmore estate who is about 12 years old and the word on the street is that he is a holy terror, you know, the kind who would cause thousand of gold worth of property damage and daddy waves his hands to make the problems go away
- Theophania then casts Detect Magic as a ritual and confirms there's no magic or portals or other effects in the safe house
- She then starts to explain how her goggles work to Jimmy, and Osiris saves him by pointing out that they need to follow the zombie footprints, so T says she'll lead the way with her night vision / magic detection goggles
- Osiris follows directly behind with her 300' of dark vision
- Lyrielle hears a faint animal scream in the distance after they've walked for a few hundred feet
- It happens again and this time everyone hears it, but it is beyond the 300' of dark vision
- Theophania is convinced that is sounds like a bear, Lyrielle disagrees
- Osiris finally starts to see some movement in the distance, and it's vaguely humanoid, but it's walking around on all fours more like a wolf, then it starts moving towards the group quickly
- As it gets close they can all see it is trailed by two of it's friends and they are have the head of a human, but the teeth have been implanted from some kind of predatory animal and the torso is human , but limbs from the elbows and knees are the legs from that of a giant spider
SEWER BATTLE
- Rusty Rages and rushes for the lead Monstrosity (1) and slices into it with his greatsword for 7 slashing dmg

- M3 runs forward and stabs her with its spider claw for 13 piercing dmg and she is knocked prone
- M2 climbs the wall and ceiling and then drops behind Rusty and stabs him with a spider claw for 14 piercing dmg but Rusty manages to stay on his feet
- Raiàn casts Fireball over all the Monstrosities and Lyrielle and Rusty for 27 fire dmg to M3, 12 for M2 and M1, 6 fire dmg to Rusty and Lyrielle on the ground managed not to get singed
- Osiris casts Spiritual Weapon (scissors) over Lyrielle but misses M1, then she casts Turn Undead and M2 and M3 are Turned
- M1 bites Lyrielle for 22 necrotic dmg
- Theophania runs around Osiris's legs so that she can see Lyrielle and casts Healing Word on her for 7 HP, then she shoots M1 for 7 piercing dmg with her crossbow
- Rusty slices M1 for 11 slashing dmg and then again for 12 slashing dmg
- Lyrielle stands up then whacks M1 with her staff for 8 bludgeoning dmg then she gets that kick in for 6 bludgeoning dmg right into his guts and the guts burst and it crumbles in place
- M3 runs away down the tunnel because it is Turned
- M2 starts to run away but gets three opportunity attacks for 6 slashing, 6 bludgeoning, and 5 slashing dmg it moves up the tunnel until it is adjacent to Lyrielle then it tries to stab her, but it misses
- Raiàn casts Magic Missile for 11 force on M2
- Osiris casts Sacred Flame on M2 for 11 radiant dmg then the scissors (SW) miss then she runs up the tunnel in the same direction M3 ran, M2 misses on its opportunity attack pinging off her shield
- Tiff shoots M2 with her crossbow for 8 piercing dmg
- Rusty moves up the tunnel towards Osiris just past M2 and slices into it for 13 slashing dmg and then again for 9 slashing dmg which slices off the head and one shoulder / arm killing it!
END OF COMBAT
- There's another scream from down the tunnel
- They haven't seen any grates in a while, so they must be pretty deep
- They come to where the tunnel forks with most of the footprints going to the left fork with only the pointy weird tracks of what is probably the fleeing monstrosity ran and there's a distinct smell of rot and decay coming from the left-hand tunnel.
- They try to go quietly, and they walk another probably 1/4 mile, and they come to a location where there's been a cave-in where and there are damaged, empty coffins. There's even one still lodged in the dirt with the bottom broken out like the dead thing broke out from the inside
- Theophania realizes they are now outside the city walls under the settlement just beyond the Hauflin Gate where there's a good-sized graveyard
- They make it to the nearest exit just inside the city walls and only a few blocks away from the Black Dog and there's still smoke from where it's burning and the bucket brigade is working to prevent the spread of the inferno judging by the commotion and cacophony
- They trudge back to the Temple to wash and sleep and recharge since it's like midnight
- Osiris and Tiff head to the Temple and everyone else goes to the Curlywit Boarding house since it's closer
- Theophania drinks her Elixir of Flight so Osiris can pull her along like a balloon which helps the trip go faster
- Osiris slides a report summarizing what they found under Birel's door then heads to the baths
- 1,800 XP ea for 26,490 XP total ea.
