They do not make it to far in when they are assaulted by 4 trolls.

As the team battles the trolls, 2 fire giants join the fray.

The party dispatches the trolls and fire giants, taking some serious but not overly serious injuries in the process and begins to contemplate if pulling back to rethink might be an option rather than pressing forward.

Game Log: Chaos in the City

The team quickly moves on to take care of the Duergar leadership at the City of the Glass pool. Moving quickly to dispatch them before word of the mind flayer’s death gets out.

The team enters their estate, dispatches the guards and battles the 3 Duergar leaders, all clerics. Large spells form both sides including flame strikes and lightning bolts cause a lot of damage to the structure, and dispute the fighter and ranger being held the team manages to come out victorious.

After defeating the dwarven priests, the team makes their way to the large temple. The moment they enter, they feel the pressing weight of the passivity spell as the temple appears to be the source of the spell keeping the Kuo-toa passive.

The team sacrifices 40,000 gold to appease the entrance guardians and are given amulets. All but the ranger and warlock put them on. The party enters the large temple and sees a large animated statue to The Kou-toa god Blibdoolpoolp that appears to be the source of the passive field.The team decides to break the statue and the bard uses a Bigsby’s hand spell to knock it over.

Once the statue is knocked over, the ranger and warlock who were not wearing an amulet, as well as all the Kuo-Toa in the temple are stunned. At the same time, 4 water elementals show up. The party battles the elementals and escapes the temple.

Game Log: Battle with the Lich

Party figures out they need to split up to get the large door open as they will have to close all the grates they just opened using the levers there.

The Fighter and Bard stay at the large stone doors and the Bard casts greater invisibility to hid himself.

The sorcerer goes to door 1, the rouge to door 2, ranger to door 3 with the rope of climbing to help avoid the traps,and the warlock to door 4

The team all pull the switches which causes them to be get trapped with undead in the rooms coming back to life in the first, second and fourth rooms as the grating blocking their path before comes back down.

Meanwhile, Kathra and Cera see into the large room to see it has more minor undead, as well as a Lich and Death Knight. The back of the room has more leavers and the bard assumes they will open the grates for the party to come to help them and he runs back to try and pull the switches while invisible. The Fighter chooses to charge the undead to distract them.

The rest of the group works on either finishing undead, or getting back to safety from the numbing agent trap in the Ranger’s case.

In the larger room battle, the lich causes the fighter to run in terror, and the Bard’s invisibility is dispelled when the death knight notices the ranger’s lever being pulled. The bard pulls the warlock’s switch while getting beat on by a few undead and once the switch is pulled, he uses dimension door to pull out to the hallway.

The team regroups as the bard uses inspire to help the fighter make her save against the terror, and the bard uses mass heal, and they then charge in and start fighting to distract the undead while the bard dimension door’s back to pull the last 2 switch, letting the rouge and Sorcerer start heading to the fight.

The antiseptic trap slows the ranger down some, but the party manages to dispatch the lower undead and fights with the Undead Knight and Lich.The lich manages to power word stun the warlock but it only lasts for one round.The Death Knight uses his fireball power but the party manages to survive against it and the adventures win out against their foes. The team The gnomes thank them and the party gets a well deserved rest while getting ready for their second strike on the City of the Glass Pool

Game Log: Investigating the Haunted Crypt

The group agrees to deal with the undead problem in the crypt in exchange for the Gnomes taking in the refugees from the City of the Glass pool and are lead to the doors.

As the party enters, the Gnomes seal the doors, telling the team that until the evil that is causing the undead is defeated, they can not open the doors again.

The party presses on and quickly comes to a gate blocking the hall , with a side room full of sarcophagi. At the back of the room is a leaver. As the party approched the lever, undead sprang into action and attacked the party. Once the undead were dispatched, the group pulled the leaver. The end of the handle began to glow red and the gate rose.

Moving on, the party encountered the same scenario again, Grate and room with a pull switch. After killing more undead, the ranger pulled the lever and felt a jab as a needle trap went off. This time the handle glowed with a purple light.

After a 90 degree right turn , blocked by another grate, the team went into a room that was a large loop with a switch at the far end. As the switch was pulled, glowed green and the floor fell away and the party fell 30 feet into a pit. The pit began to fill with a viscous clear liquid and the group quickly climbed or used spells to leave the pit.

The fourth room lay beyond another 90 degree right turn and was much like the first two, with the switch glowing blue once the undead were removed.

The party then followed the corridor to a dead end with a huge stone door. next to the door were 4 dim gems in the colors of red, purple, green and blue.

The game ended here while the party pondered their next steps.

Spell Review: Cloudkill

Cloudkill is another iconic spell that has been around from the early days of Dungeons and Dragons. In the early editions, if you had less than 5 or 6 hit dice, it just killed you if you failed the save However, with less instant death in more recent editions of the D&D rules, it ‘just’ does 5d8 damage(con save for half and scales with higher spell slots) in a 20 foot radius… every round you are stuck in it… and it lasts for 10 minutes.

The one thing to consider when casing is the whole drifting 10 feet a round, making sure it does not drift right into allies or loved ones, but wizards are supposed to be smart enough to remember that, right?

Final thoughts, TL;DR: Cloudkill is a very good. Strong damage, scales with level sticks around and with some smart application is super effective. Plus it is a spell that does not rely on dex saves for some versatility. It is a great area kill spell and does fantastic damage, just be careful of friends, pets, loved ones and anything living. Cloudkill Final Rating: A. Extra Awesome.

Game Log: A wall of fire and ice.

The party begins working to get the large group of slaves they just liberated over the walls of the city so that they can guide them to safety.

They use a wall of ice to create a ramp over the city walls and begin moving the 50 or so people out, while defending the flow with walls of fire and physical might. The team manages to keep the Kuo-Toa and Dwarves at bay long enough to get the former slaves out of the city and into the caves leading to the surface, but the trip is still a long one, and many rescued people are not very fit for travel.

Game Log: Chaos in the under city

The party has spent the last bit of time causing much chaos and havoc around the City while trying not to be seen, and mostly failing on the not be seen front. They fought their way out of the Place of the Priest-King and battled guards several times in the streets. They also messed with some Ixitxachitl, and a spell casting Ixitxachitl damaged them greatly with a cone of cold, and the party was forced to flee.

They also assaulted the slave pens and freed a number of slaves and are not working to get the 40 or so slaves to safety.

Game Log: The Priest-King of the Kuo-Toa

The team reviews their options, as well as a map of the City of the Glass Pool, and decide to assault the palace.

On the way, they have a minor skirmish with a group of Dwarves lead by a Mind flayer, and approach the doors. They are surprised when they only see 2 guards at the doors and quickly remove them. It is then they discover the whole structure has an invisible barrier of some kind around it. The team weighs it’s options and decides to use a Dimension door to get inside the barrier.

Inside guards quickly begin to assault the team in waves, wearing the team down before they finally break through the sealed doors to the Priest-King’s Chambers where they encounter not only the Priest-king, but several more guards, as well as a Mind-flayer wizard and several elite bodyguards.

The fight is tough, but smart applications of wall of ice and use of a blade barrier scroll sees the team through and the Priest king falls.

Heavily injured, the team seals themselves in a back room, hoping the locked doors and still active barrier around the palace will keep them safe to rest for a bit.

Game Log: Exploring the City of the Glass Pool

The team wanders around the city, causing chaos and trying not to get captured. They deal with a patrol and sneak into another building that turns out to be a prison with a few clearly insane Kuo-toa inmates, and a hulking Guard. The team dispatches the guard, and then releases the prisoners to cause more chaos in the town. One of the prisoners appears to have left a crude map of the area that the team takes.

Wandering further, they encounter a temple that appears to be devoted to hating the surface races. Inside the party fights more guards as well as a cleric devoted to stirring up the hate. The group dispatches them with out to much difficulty, and lights the buidling on fire.

The team is stopped leaving the temple of hate by another patrol that is quickly dispatched, and the party moves on to what turns out to be a food harvesting area. The workers flee as the party fights more guards, taking some hits but eventually coming out victorious.

Feat Review: Lucky

The lucky feat gives you 3 chances to reroll for attacks, abilities, or saves, and then pick the number you want from the 2 rolls. You can also use it to make an attacker against you reroll and use the lower.

The chances refresh when you do a long rest.

Any character can use this. Don’t want to raise stats and do not see any feats you like? Everyone could use a bit of luck.

Final thoughts, TL;DR: Useful for pretty much any build. A good I dunno what to get feat.

Lucky Final Rating: A useful for any character, useful at any level.

Spell Review: Hex

Hex is a 1st level spell primarily associated with warlocks that has some fairly good combat applications, especially as it can help other casters with saving throws, and you can move it around. What are the basics of the spell? You place a curse on a creature you can see and while it is active, they take an extra 1d6 damage from your attacks, and they are at a disadvantage on ability checks for one ability you name. If the monster you had the hex on dies, you can use a bonus action to put the hex on another creature. The base duration is an hour, with higher casting levels making it last longer.

This spell has a number of applications. It can help take out a group faster with the extra damage of course, but you can also coordinate with another caster to help stack the odds in favor of a hard hitting spell passing the opponents save, or curse a rival performer to be disadvantaged on stage as skill checks are still ability checks.

Final thoughts, TL;DR: Hex is a great spell with some interesting application. It plays well as a combo and lasts for a long time.

Hex Final Rating: B+ A very good 1st level spell to pick up that keeps it’s usefulness at later levels even when cast as a 1st level spell.
