The Second Session

March 9, 2019, Campaign: As the ground quakes, evil wakes

The Party continues to faff about in the Kobolds' cave.

The Party continued to explore the dungeon and killed many Kobolds. They found some potions and some magic beans. Bugfood turned into a weasel a few times with his Druidic powers. Between the dogmoles and the ladders, the party had a hard time.

Between the guard room and the mushroom farm, there was a cave-in behind us. We're trapped in the cave.

Bugfood saw the missing child momentarily, at knee level; he was a weasel at the time. That was in the throne room.

And Vurguron heard the Kobolds discussing something about the kid.

Several party members picked up explosive flasks.

We acquired a bag of magical beans, which Bugfood recognizes and knows how to use.

Then we entered a mine, and found an inventor with a DC 10 skunk.

The session ended with the party still in the cave.
