- Raiàn has a meeting with some of her old ladies and finds out from Janice that Juliana Blackmore might have been sick because their monthly parties have been so much smaller lately and that Tabitha who is the Blackmore son's maid but they're supposed to have another party either next week or the week after next
- Osiris has a quick chat with Birel, and then she and Tiff stop at a jeweler's and buy a diamond worth 300 GP for emergencies on their way to the Curlywit Boarding house
- They all agree to hunt sewer zombies before attempting to maybe talk to the Town Council
- They make their way back to the sewer entrance they came out of the previous night and let themselves back in and head up the path where the spidery footprints continued past the exit based on Tiff's direction
- They come to a fork and while there's been some water or something that's obscured the tracks they have been following Osiris notices there's different tracks coming (or going?) from the left side of the fork
- They chat and decide to follow the big tracks even if they are different from what they saw before
- After a few minutes of walking, they hear a low groaning sound that echoes off the walls and then they hear one from behind them as well
- The things look mostly humanoid, but they are hunched over with lumps on their back, and their fingers are weirdly extended into claws. They are naked.
ANOTHER SEWER BATTLE
- Lyrielle drinks the potion of Resilience that she got from Tiff (+1 AC), then she moves to the Zombie coming up from behind such that Rusty can easily flank, and the then she readies a defensive stance (Dodge)
- Rusty rages and runs up to flank Z2 with Lyrielle and slices into it for 19 slashing dmg and then slices it again for 14 slashing dmg
- Z2 claws Rusty for 7 slashing dmg and 8 necrotic dmg and then slices into him again 21 slashing and necrotic damage
- Osiris casts Sacred Flame on Z1 for 4 radiant dmg
- Z1 moves up to Osiris and claws her for 10 slashing and 6 necrotic dmg then misses with the second hand (Beacon of Hope drops)
- Theophania casts Cure Wounds on Osiris then falls back 10'
- Raiàn casts Misty Step to get past Osiris and Z1 and then she breaths on it for 11 lightning dmg then she falls 10' farther up the tunnel
- Lyrielle bashes Z2 with her enchanted staff for 7 bludgeoning dmg then she punches it in the hump for 9 bludgeoning dmg and then kicks it for 6 bludgeoning dmg and Z2 is slightly stunned (no Reaction until the end of her next turn)
- Rusty swipes Z2 again for 22 slashing dmg and then slices into for 9 slashing dmg (Yay flanking!)
- Z2 slices into Rusty for 11 combined slashing and necrotic dmg and then misses him
- Osiris casts Sacred Flame for 6 radiant dmg then she casts Misty Step and appears beside Raiàn
- Z1 moves forward and attacks Theophania for 17 combined slashing and then misses her
- Theophania casts Melf's Acid Arrow on Z1 since its in her face for 15 acid dmg
- Raiàn moves forward to within 15' of Z1 and casts Burning Hands for 11 fire dmg then she falls back 10' again
- Lyrielle smashes Z2 with her staff for 9 bludgeoning dmg then she kicks it for 8 bludgeoning dmg and it shudders but doesn't fall
- Rusty misses with his first swing then slices into it for 22 slashing dmg and its hump explodes and Rusty and Lyrielle both take 15 necrotic dmg then he moves to flank Z1 with Tiff
- Osiris steps forward 5', casts Healing Word on Tiff for 9 HP, and then casts Sacred Flame on it for 9 radiant dmg
- Z1 slices Theophania for 9 combined slashing and necrotic dmg then slices into her again for 13 combined slashing necrotic and then the acid remaining on his skin for 8 acid dmg
- Tiff Disengages and runs away
- Raiàn moves forward within 15' of the Z and casts Burning Hands again for 8 fire dmg
- Lyrielle moves to flank with Rusty and smashes it with her staff for 11 bludgeoning dmg and he is Stunned until the end of her next turn then she punches it for 13 bludgeoning dmg
- Rusty swing into it for 21 slashing dmg and it explodes giving Rusty and Lyrielle 13 necrotic dmg
- Osiris casts Prayer of Healing and everyone is doing much better
- Theophania pulls an entire bolt of oil cloth out of her bag and they wrap one of the arms off one of the exploded corpses with the extended claws and then it all goes into the Bag of Holding
- Osiris is examining the ground for footprints
- Raiàn wonders allowed if there are any Black Blood hiding bricks
- Rusty looks around briefly and sees a brick covered in muck that still manages to have a different texture than the rest of the bricks, and he pushes it and a secret door opens
- It seems like a similar mechanism to the hide outs used by the Black Bloods
- Osiris sees that footprints like the zombies came out of this secret door
- Rusty pushes open the secret door and the group steps into a small entry room and there are two corpses on the floor that look like they have been ripped apart, DEEP gashes
- Rusty finds 5 GP total on both bodies, they are holding weapons (They tried.)
- Theophania calls Osiris to have her look down the dark passageway that extends into darkness.
- Osiris sees a door on the left, which she opens to find a small bunk room and then the door on the right, and it's a storage room with food and wine (Tiff puts some in her Bag)
- At the end of the hallway is a ladder that leads up to the surface, so she climbs it and pokes her head out and can smell the river
- With this information, Theophania figures out they are in the same general neighborhood of the city as Groundswallow Carpentry (it's East of the Curlywit boarding house and north of the Black Dog - the rectangular neighborhood on the map adjacent to the boarding house)
- Osiris tidies the bodies and asks Theophania to mark the secret entrance in the alleyway, so she climbs the ladder and casts Magic Mouth (as a ritual with her device shaped like a tiny megaphone trigger is when someone walks past in Temple Blues "Look for the chalk circle. It's an entrance to a secret space off the sewers with two dead bodies). Then she climbs back down the ladder so they can continue exploring in the sewers
- They come to another fork with heavy zombie footprints from both sides of the fork
- Both sides smell equally bad.
- As they are trying to decide which direction to head, they hear something coming from the left fork
- Rusty takes point at this time
- Eventually they all hear fairly clearly a human-like screaming sound that sounds like the spider-zombie monstrosity
- Osiris can see off in the distance, she's starting to see movement, but she realizes there's a whole column of zombies heading for them.
- 1,800 XP ea. for 28,290 XP total ea.
