Session One Hundred and Sixty-Seven (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

Session 167: September 6, 2017

We rest and get a bit more information for a few nice gems.

We are led to location of bettlemen. It is ancient dwarven mines, now inhabited by the remnants of a goblin tribe decimated a few times by the beetlemen.

The location has a doorway into a room of ancient dwarven design with a button that disintegrates all in the room. There is a vacuum cleaner bot that is only active when there are ashes to clean up.

The goblins advise us that the beetlemen have driven them from their home and made it their nest. We use the berserker to operate a winch to go down to the level with the crfeatures.

We find two damaged berserkers and Thorfus orders one monkey to take the head from one and the other to get the other ready for the head.

The first beetleman confuses Thorfus, Sturloc, and Kottar. Miraculously, it can’t hit thorfus.

Amodeus hits it with continual light, and it is a slow slog. The female joins the fight, and after prompting the monkey to fix the berserker, Edan cast lightning bolt and drops the first beetleman. The female is badly hurt and several of the eggs on her back burst.

Amodeus cast continual light into it’s eye, and Edan hit it with magic missile. It fled just before Amodeus cast web.

Thorfus was hit hard by the female, and has stood confused in spite of being hasted by Prixithalma.

Thankfully, no one in a confused state has managed to hurt another or themselves.

Betty was enlarged to giant size by Prixithalma and is ready to give chase to the female.

Nash was wounded and Lambertus healed him a bit.

Will we catch the female and get the eggs? Will we find eggs in the nest?

Where is the third beetleman the goblins mentioned?

We learned from the goblins that the silence are squid faced brain eaters who are former servants o the ancient dwarves who now make war on them.
