Session 28 - Ambush Them...!

17th Uktar, 1371 DR
Highsun
Crooked House Inn
Cold overcast day with rain


Midnight 16th of Uktar
Bloated with treasures the Heroes of the Three Hills adventuring company made their way to exit the grim Sodden Hold. Having bested Telakin and his Doppelganger goons the Heroes were drunk with success. Not only had they beaten their leader and killed most of the Doppelgangers of Waterdeep, the Heroes had captured voluminous amounts of evidence in the form of ledgers, maps, notes, and evil minion reports.


As Tyree made his way down the rope to the 40' floor below in the huge water room, Kamist and others wondered about all the magical darkness in the corners of the room. And because of this wariness the ambushers did not get any free rounds against the Heroes.


It was a straight up tough fight and more than one of the Heroes succumbed to the Mind Flayer's dreadful Mind Blast attack. And this did not even account for the dangerous score of Drow armed with poison tipped weapons.


With a little luck and a clever use of a spell by Aedrinar, the Heroes won the day and drove the Illithid off to hide away in his lair; most likely hidden within the extensive Waterdeep sewer system.


After this, the Heroes new Elfsong trained elven rogue helped fly up the shaft and worked a rope and pulley system to haul up the loot to include the 250 lb awkward magical mirror. The Heroes made it back to the Crooked House Inn without incident.


17th Uktar, Morning
The Heroes set out on a number of errands to include a meeting with Fenten at the Alliance Agent HQ located in Castle Waterdeep. Fenten rewarded the Heroes with gold for the slaying of Telakin and their discovery and destruction of Sodden Hold. He tasked the Heroes to track down the Illithid and destroy it, as it was obviously behind the Doppelganger mischief in the City.


After this, the Heroes ran a number of errands to include a visit to the main Lords' Bank branch and visits to various merchants.


It is now highsun and the Heroes are back at the Crooked House Inn fully fed and rested and raring to go. Look out Mind Flayer.
