Quarry Found

Tarsakh 30, 1493 DR

In short order we encountered a room. The first thing I noticed was a half-orc with its foot placed on a man I surmised to be Floon. He was crying out in pain at his treatment. To his right was another of those ugly floating creatures with the eye stalks and behind them all was something I did not want to see: a mind flayer holding what appeared to be a brain with four legs.

The mind flayer looked to the half-orc and said, “Grum'shar, take care of this rabble,” and then walked to a door and exited the room. At that point the battle began.

I managed to get a shot from my bow off straight away at Grum'shar and killed him with one arrow. Unfortunately he crumpled directly onto Floon. Sorry, Floon.

Shortly after that the quadrupedal brain charged at me and hit me with some very sharp claws. That did not feel good. Then it did something to Ránath after he missed it with his Yklwa. Ránath's eyes glazed over and he just stood there motionless. That's not good either.

Mingnist arrived next to me and made two dagger attacks at the floating thing and killed it with expert strikes. Then I managed to get a solid hit on the brain thing after which Elora hit it with a spray of poison. Revenge felt good.

Whatever it did to Ránath the brain thing also did to Renaer. He suddenly went limp and glassy-eyed and sort of checked out. Then it hit Mingnist hard with its claws. Mingnist wasn't looking too well. That was the last thing I remembered.
