Lethal Suckage

 

Steeling everyone with knowledge of what fae saw in the room they constructed a plan.

Drash opened the door, an orange glowing blob detached from the ceiling, a leechlike mouth greeted him. It charged through the air, a missile of wet flesh. He was ready, his shield met the teeth of the thing as he felt an intense heat radiate off of it. In one single swing of his pick he skewers the thing, bursting it like a balloon full of fire.

Mekinimini and Amyl blitz the room. Mekinimini swings her staff in an unflinching arc directly at a red flying leech, bursting it into another puff of fire. Amyl’s sword is quick and ruthless, aiming for the one glowing in the newest colors, its blood is all that remains on faer blade.

Three down, six to go. But soon the three find themselves swarmed, two blue beasts hone in on drash latching on and draining him of his precious heat. A pair of green ones surge at Mekinimini, the first dodged with ease but the second found the mark.

Her skin begins to bubble and peel from the strange energy radiating from the leech things. Amyl meets the wrath as well, with a yellow leech latching on and cooking fae from the inside out with microwaves.

Drash acts quickly, slamming the cosmic thing with his pick, popping it like a burst fire extinguisher, he swings for another with his shield hoping to take it down but it just evades his reach, only to be skewered by a dart thrown by Amyl.

Roddy, knowing he can't just leave his companions to die, storms back in charging towards the green leeches attacking Mekinimini. He is however unable to steel his frightful nerves, he stumbles over himself, dropping his knife.

Mekinimini tried her best to free herself but between the searing pain, and Roddy’s charge she swings wildly and misses as well. She's on the ground in an instant as her balance fails her.

The one that had but her leg stayed firmly on her, turning her skin blisterous and its ravages continued.

Another dived at her but missed colliding face first into the ground and seeming dazed.

A desperate swing of her staff came down on the one on her leg taking it out. 

In the commotion Amyl had struck one down and been laid low in return, innards cooked from microwave bombardment, giving a final shout of potion before slumping to the floor. Drash charged towards the remaining yellow thing using the full brunt of his charging shield wall to turn it to paste. Like a dwarven cannonball he turns around to see the magician Mekinimini felled by the disoriented leech, taking no time he charges, pick skewering the final beast. 

To no one in particular he screams “if there are any more of you, come get me”

Roddy had fled, making sure to grab his dagger on the way out.

Seeing to the dead, against all odds both Amyl and Mekinimini were alive but just barely.

The group decides to head back, seeing no future in continuing to fight their way through this creature. A brief amount of exploration finds a few barrels full of unknown types of preserved food. Using some rope they lower it down to the ground and roll them back to the city. They sell off the barrels for 3 gold a piece.

Someone else will get the treasure, that's fine by them.

The group holds a funeral for Justin and while trying to pawn off their food they meet a local thief, Caulder Grimm.

Mekinimini spends a week in ritual, summoning forth her new familiar; Jezebel the Owl.
