Randomized character!!
Female High-elf ranger named Eilcyne Rothenel
Carmen's male high elf is my lover?
Carmen and I went on a "Hunting Trip" ---- "hunteymoon" - Shawn
- Didn't find a single thing - happens a lot when we go hunting
- We get jumped by hooded figures with crossbows
- Arrive in the dark cave and basically work as slaves for 6 days
- Find a small piece of flint and tuck it away on my person (only tool/weapon I have available to me)
- Sharpen the flint into a throwing knife
2.5 ft tall Myconid named "Stool"
- Not a vegetable?
Dwarf girl is defiant for the sake of being defiant
- Sees us (the high elves) as potential allies against the Drow
Scarfaced Guard helps us escape
Battle on the bridge with a Quaggoth, which we end up burning to death?
Quaggoth:
- Prince Derin Dil?
- Speaks common but prefers to speak Elven
- Prince of Velyndale - Even though I've never heard of Velyndale
Jimjar:
- Will bet on anything and everything
Buppido:
- Super talkative
- chatters on endlessly
Shuushar the Awakened:
- Fish person (Kuo-toa) with giant fish head
- Almost like the Dali Lama
- Speaks when spoken to and gives fortune-cookie wisdom
- Never expressed a desire to leave even though it doesn't seem like he's into the whole “being a slave” thing, but it is what it is

¶ Session 8: 2023-09-28
"Abstract humanoid figures"
"Bipedal masses of blue mold"
The garden of heads all look to the sky and vomit a grey-green mist into the air
When the spores hit us the song is intelligible
Some kiind of mushroom wedding??
They start literally becoming one. Combining - getting taller
- Once done they walk back toward the giant mushroom and the little guard dudes combine into them/it/thing O.o
- It grows with each combined mushroom
"It's a giant veiny mushroom cap now" …
We've gone to two separate underdark cities and encountered two separate demon lords
"Blindenstone" could be a place where we might be able to find (not safety) but passage to the top world by way of traders?
Alternative is grackelstoog which is a dureguar city that would be easy to blend in ?
Pyron (Roger) decides to go back into the cavern to try to "save" Stool?
- Somehow survives and brings Stool back in a handful of dirt (kinda like a baby groot)
