It’s Not Barbour, Let’s Just Say That
S02E49
We rest in the dining room that we found. Glittr looks at the great axe on the table and notices a Rune inscribed on it. He also finds a human sized breastplate on the table which has a cloud giant rune on it Pearl identifies it as a +2 breast plate. Pearl dons the +1 dragon breast plate we found earlier int he journey, and RC dons the +2 cloud giant armor. Brylwynn knows that the rune is the frost rune. We decide to explore the northern room.
We enter the other room and are met with a chamber with stairs to the right and another large stone giant statue. Around the corner to the south is the other door into the room with the six giant statues and another set of stairs going up. Caulkin explores behind the statue and sees a rune that incidates a class of magic, but he is unsure what. Pearl knows it to be transmutation. He also notices that this statue, instead of its arms being help up towards the sky, are held outward, as if they were casting.
We look further in, and see in the room the statue is pointing towards, stone slabs. These stone slabs are beds! As we move through the bedrooms, the start the head up hill. As we move forward, off to the left we see a crack in the wall. Glittr looks into the tunnel, which veers off to the right. He listens for anything, but it is eerily silent. We move forward and as we do, RC hears a very daily “woosh” sound as the stone labs in the archways from the main room to the beds close. Suddenly, a giant boulder comes rolling down the hill towards us. RC, Bahmut, and Glittr manage to jump out of the way just in time, but Ari get hits by it. Pearl also gets hit by the boulder as it makes its way down.
The boulder hits the statue at the end of the hallway. It animates and comes to life as it slowly pushes the boulder back up the hill. RC is able to find a warded area which Ari thinks is a Glyph of Warding. Brylynwnn uses dispel magic, which causes the boulder to disappear and the statue returns to its original position.
Ari decides to go back and look down the hall way that was in the hallway to the left. She walks into the tunnel, and as she goes further, she sees more and more tunnel. The tunnel appears to be caused from natural erosion. As she goes further, she sees an area that appears to be a curve. The rest of the party joins her as we move through the waving tunnel. There is a fork in the road and we go to the right.
As we enter the room, Ari sees a lot of bunch of webs. After a brief battle with spiders, Glittr finds a potion that was hidden in one of the cocoons. We explore the other entrance the the spider room, taking another path at a fork. The path leads to the blizzarding outside with a dropoff in a ravine. We turn around and take the road back to the south. At that fork, we decide to go south rather than left. RC finds another cavern ahead of us. In the cavern, we see another room with 12 cocoons as a large spider descends upon RC.
