The Odd Three, the Slash Sisters, and Slovas the thief, are in the tunnel they entered under the damaged mansion in the Noble district. They have travelled about 1.5 miles. As they walk down the 10×10 excavated tunnel, Mick walks up front side by side with Jewell Kestrel, Slovas and Simon in the middle, with Debi and Greta in the rear. Mick, up front, keeps his eyes open for traps and other problems, Debi keeps her eyes on the ceiling. They come to a split in the tunnel, but with the cyclopean eye etched above the entrances. Debi examines the floor, and can see that one side – the left side – has been worn smoother by much more traffic. They go to the right. They notice that it is getting slighly warmer as they proceed, and the cross a small undgeround stream. They examine the walls of the tunnel, and find that there are a lot of cracks in the surface, from 1/4 to 1/2″ wide. Mick moves ahead, detecting a larger cavern ahead.
As the group quietly walks down the tunnel the all start to hear voices around them. They can’t identify the language or the exact source. They continue down the corridor. Debi hears something behind them, turns around, and sees four primitive looking naked gray humanoids in the passage. Two are walking almost on all fours, two are clinging to and moving across the walls. The group all turns around to see the creatures in the glow of the fungus in the tunnel. As they watch, two more of the creatures squeeze their bodies out of the cracks in the walls, like rats able to pass through tiny openings. They make a disgusting sounds as they move through. Now there are six of the creatures. They bear their very sharp teeth and start to attack.
Debi is closest to them. She moves up and casts Thunderwave. Four of the creatures are blown back ten feet and obliterated. The rest of the groups attacks the remaining two, killing one of them. The last one scampers up to the wall and slithers through a crack, disappearing.
The group decides they’d better move forward. Mick enters the cavern. It is brighter inside, with glowing vegetation in a rainbow of colors. The group hears lots more voices back in the tunnel. They move into the cavern and begin to explore. They find and underground stream going across is. As Debi explores she finds another tunnel entrance on the other side, and encounters a humanoid being that appears to be made from the fungus and other growth in the cavern. It moves toward Debi. It gibbers madly. Debi makes a Wisdom save to avoid effects of hearing its madness. It opens its mouth and blasts out a cone of nauseating spores. She saves. Simon comes around and attack with Sacred Flame, but the creature dodges. The rest of the group attacks. Simon is in range of the gibbering and fails a save, resulting in a -1 to his actions until he can save. Debi hits it with Shatter. Mick hits with a Magic Missle. Jewel hits with a great sword. As the fight goes on, they see that the creature is drawing mass up from the ground, regenerating its wounds. The creature attacks repeatedly with bite attacks, but misses. Finally Simon hits it with the Thunder Mace, and blows it to bits.
