- The Fellowship of Penguins
- Theophania invites Jinora to sit down with coffee and a bit of breakfast and while they are waiting for everyone else to show up Tiff start listing out all the information they have on the situation
- Jinora confirms that both Gerard and she are dragons. She's a blue (she high fives Raiàn with a crackle of lightning)
- Rusty tells the story of how the scout-bot found him and he uploaded the information about the dragon it saw underground
- Next they take Jinora to see the tunnel
- As they are heading down to the catacombs to show her the tunnel, they pass some storage rooms and there's a loud crash and screaming and then more crashes
- Osiris gets there first and opens the door and inside is pandemonium
- One of the walls has partially collapsed inward, there is a large creature menacing two temple staff. One of them is a young initiate running to the door for his life and the other is Norman who is halfway in the thing's mouth being eaten.
- The large creature looks like a large worm with Tremors flaps and thick scales
WORM BATTLE
- Rusty runs in, Raging, straight up the the Worm Thing and misses with both his attacks, but he gains the its attention
- Lyrielle runs in next to Rusty, but her first attack with the staff misses, and then she manages to smack it for 22 bludgeoning dmg then she kicks it for 11 bludgeoning again
- Raiàn casts Wither and Bloom on the WT and Norman for 7 necrotic dmg to the WT and Norman regains 5 HP. He starts screaming again.
- WT spits Norman out and bites Rusty for 37 (18) piercing dmg and Rusty is swallowed (Blinded and Restrained, Total Cover against attacks and outside affects) then it moves away from Lyrielle towards the group at the door (taking 10 bludgeoning dmg from her as he does). It's movement causes the ground to tremor making Osiris and Theophania to fall over and take 13 bludgeoning dmg
- Theophania stands up and casts Reduce on the WT, but the spell bounces off its scales somehow, then she moves back 10' along the wall and she asks for Jinora to help
- Osiris stands up casts Aura of Vitality giving Rusty 11 HP to Rusty and threatens the WT with her warhammer. She notices that Norman might be dying.
- Rusty manages to dig the corner of his axe into the WT's stomach for 17 slashing dmg, but then he can't get it back out.
- Lyrielle runs up to flank with Osiris and smacks it for 10 bludgeoning dmg and then she misses with her second then she punches it for 12 bludgeoning dmg and knocks it onto its back and then kicks it for 9 bludgeoning dmg
- Raiàn casts a Chromatic Orb (5th level) on the WT for 31 lightning dmg
- WT "stands" up while it digests Rusty for 16 (8) acid dmg, then it tries to eat Osiris but she dodges and it slides around her a little and Lyrielle manages to smash it for 7 bludgeoning and as they're falling over Raiàn gestures at it for 4 force dmg and it gets pushed back 10'.
- Tiff stand up edging towards the door then she casts Healing Word on Norman for 10 HP, then she shoots a crossbow bolt into it's jaw for 3 piercing dmg
- Osiris stands up and casts Summon Celestial bringing in a Defender to heal Norman and get him out. The Celestial gives Norman 15 HP then picks him up and moves him away from the WT into the doorway. Then she runs back up to the WT and threatens it with her warhammer again.
- Rusty slices the WT for 13 slashing and then 11 slashing dmg
- Lyrielle stands up moves to flank with Osiris again and then smacks it for 8 bludgeoning dmg then again for 9 bludgeoning dmg and then punches it for 6 bludgeoning dmg and then kicks it for 9 bludgeoning dmg. It is not stunned.
- Raiàn casts Chromatic Orb (4th level) at the WT for 41 lightning dmg and the WT sort of explodes spreading guts everywhere.
END OF BATTLE
- Tiff tries to get the angel to lower Norman enough for her to check his vitals and do first aid or whatever, but the angel does not listen to her until Osiris tells it to let Tiff check on Norman. Norman seems physically okay, but definitely seems like he's in shock.
- Osiris checks on Rusty and he's doing pretty well actually.
- Osiris then has the celestial carry Norman to the hospital wing causing a bit of a stir because there's an actual angel in the temple.
- Jinora says that these sort of creatures are probably fleeing the black dragon so this sort of thing will probably keep happening.
- Rusty has named his new pet drone robot Connie (for Construct).
- Norman is turned over to Marta's care in the hospital wing and Osiris brings the the celestial back downstairs.
- Osiris while walking back asks the celestial if he knows Thessalie Groundswallow, but he does not.
- Theophania asks Jinora so many questions. It comes out that Jinora was raised by humans. Humans who were certifiable crazy.
- They arrive at the tunnel.
- The celestial has no skill with digging, but it takes the small collapsible shovel Tiff hands and sulkily starts digging.
- Osiris takes pity on the angel and dismisses him.
- They decide to head back up topside and go to Callie's boardinghouse and tea room for tea and a planning session.
- On the way out Osiris makes sure that there's a plan to fix the storage room.
- Jinora suspects that the black dragon who has moved under their city might be the one who calls himself Agonir who is known to collect souls. The cleric immediately starts squeaking. She collects information about famous dragons.
- The necromancer was either a very happy accident for Agonir or the reason he is here in the first place because of the death they caused. He would be attracted by the death and then his presence would cause the problems would get worse.
- One the way back to the temple Tiff sends to Lord McNabb, "Urgent news! Forget the investment thing for now. Can you be at the temple for a meeting at 6 PM? New problem could destroy the city."
- Lord McNabb returns, "I'll be there. Always happy to do what I can to preserve the city."
- Then she Sends to Captain Swinson, "Urgent news! Come to the temple at 6 PM for meeting and explanation. Uptick in fighting and deaths have cause. Need to save the city. Again."
- Capt Swinson responds, "I don't see how all the fights and crimes are related, but I am willing to hear your theory."
- Then because she has time and she's in a mood she tries Sending to Aunt Thessalie again, "Hi, Auntie. Update: there may be a subterranean black dragon causing the ground water to be poisoned. Gerrard sent a young dragon to help. Miss you."
- After a few heartbeats Tiff feels a sense of concern, then one of reassurance and a feeling of a hug, then she hears the actual words, "Miss you too."
- 3,000 XP ea for 85,000 XP total ea.
