- Long May He Reign
- Random quote, "Two Wrong Don't Make a Right, But Three Lefts Do"
- Another random quote, "Look, the girl was an elf when I grabbed her."
- Another random quote, "Ah, that classic siren song Pee in her Patron Pouch."
- The next morning, the Keepers return to the hole, and Poetry uses Move Earth to dig another 120' of depth to the hole (420' total depth).
- Niniel then descends to the bottom of the hole and casts Lightning Lance and the earth shakes. We think that means we are within 120' of Nhalzarek.
- Niniel uses her book to scribble to Soliana, "I think we found him. There was an earthquake, but the hole is holding up. Poetry is great at digging holes."
- Soliana responds from the top of the hole, "The earth shook here too. Hopefully we get to him soon. I don't want to spend a week digging if we can help it."
- Poetry casts Locate Creature again to check direction, and he is pretty much directly beneath them again.
- Poetry makes the hole a bit larger (~30' x 40') as she dig another 100' until she reaches a rubber, blubbery surface the spell does not affect.
- Niniel Sends up to Soliana that they should start descending, so Soliana, Caleb, and Zemma jump in and Soliana casts Feather Fall, so they arrive floating gently down into the excavated chamber.
- They all start feeling around, and Soliana detects a fold in the skin and pushes it aside as much as she can and it was an eyelid and there are a few of them around now that they know what to look for.
- There is a little discussion about whether they really want to do this, and Soliana casts Protection for Evil and Good on Zemma, and then almost immediately casts another spell
BATTLE AGAINST NHALZAREK
- Soliana casts Raulothim's Psychic Lance (5th level), but the creature resists and only takes 14 (7) psychic dmg.
- Niniel sticks a hand under on of the eyelids (it's wet and unpleasantly warm) and casts Lighting Bolt directly into the eye for 27 lightning dmg. She then summons her tentacle which slaps it for 27 cold dmg.
- The shaking intensifies and the eyeball that Niniel zapped opens and rotates to look at her and then zaps her back with 31 psychic dmg. Niniel reacts by casting Wrath of the Storm for 3 lightning dmg.
- The eyeball then rotates around and looks at Soliana and zaps her for 15 psychic dmg.
- A spot on the skin opens up like a pore and sprays acid at Caleb (Soliana casts Silvery Barbs to cancel the crit) for 16 acid dmg.
- Poetry summons Ember on the eyeball that was zapped with Lightning Bolt for 8 fire dmg.
- Caleb runs over to the eye that zapped his friends shoves it open with his off hand and stabs it with his main hand for 14 (7) psychic dmg. He then stabs again for 7 (3) psychic dmg.
- Nhalzarek zaps Caleb back for 22 psychic dmg
- Zemma Rages and bites the eyelid for 14 piercing dmg. She then bites it again for 9 piercing dmg.
- Another pore opens and sprays acid on Poetry for 19 acid dmg.
- Caleb and Niniel start to get sucked into the stasis spell and take a level of Exhaustion each.
- Soliana casts Disintegrate on Nhalzarek for 19 force dmg.
- Niniel casts Evard's Black Tentacles in the corner of the room and the Tentacles whacks it for 6 cold dmg.
- Nhalzarek starts its turn "in" the Evard's Black Tentacles and becomes "Restrained" taking 10 bludgeoning dmg.
- The skin starts sweating acid. Everyone except Soliana who was still standing on the lowest step created by Poetry takes 50 acid dmg. Soliana still takes 25 acid dmg.
- Poetry sends Scorching Rays at the eyeballs hitting twice for 16 fire dmg. Then Ember then Flame Seeds it for 10 fire dmg.
- Nhalzarek zaps Poetry for 24 psychic dmg.
- Caleb lifts the eyelid he's standing beside and stabs it with his rapier for 32 (16) piercing dmg.
- Zemma misses biting and then succeeds for 14 piercing dmg. Then she sends out a Draconic Cry giving everyone advantage on their next attack rolls.
- Niniel gets sprayed for 20 acid dmg.
- Soliana gives up on Protecting Zemma and casts Banishment on Nhalzarek, but he saves.
- Zemma gets zapped with 25 psychic dmg.
- Niniel casts Fly on herself, Zemma, and Caleb. She then flies 60' up the narrow tunnel at the top of the chamber.
- Nhalzarek sprays Soliana for 29 acid dmg
- Then it zaps Poetry for 24 psychic dmg.
- Then it sprays Caleb for 21 acid dmg.
- Poetry Wild Shapes into a hawk and darts up the tunnel while Ember Flame Seeds Nhalzarek for 10 fire dmg.
- Nhalzarek deals 24 psychic dmg to Zemma and Caleb and Soliana take half. Soliana falls unconscious.
- Caleb picks up the unconscious Soliana and 40' up the tunnel with her body.
- Zemma flies up the tunnel as well.
- Everyone flies up the tunnel as quickly as possible to the surface.
- Niniel casts Healing Word on Soliana for 2 HP.
- Soliana Polymorphs herself into an owl because of the narrowness of the tunnel.
- They fly up out of the tunnel and the ground swells and the townspeople are freaking out.
- Caleb hears in his head, "We are not friends, but you did us a service."
- Everyone blacks out for a second and then wakes up on the barrier island outside Caledonia
- As the Keepers are looking around there is a shimmering pillar of light over there on the island with a maybe 10' diameter.
- Soliana approaches the pillar and feels a connection to the magical source and it is a source of magic that she can control. (Once per day, she can call on the power of this pillar to empower a spell to upcast it two levels while expending the original spell slot only.
- Niniel's Book of Shadows gets hot in her pocket and there's a message from her patron asking angrily what went wrong and asking him to kill the creature who has usurped his power. Niniel leaves her book in the sand and goes and sits in the water.
- Soliana hands Caleb her Healing Elixir and then sits in the sand chewing on travel rations while staring into the distance.
- Caleb offers to pee on Niniel's book, but it's already cooling off, so she just gives him a Look.
- After her snack, Soliana drawings a Teleportation Circle in the sand of the beach and bring them back to the Twilit Grove
- They were gone about a day.
- They all retire to their chambers to rest properly.
- 5,000 XP ea for 93,000 XP total ea.
