Stonehell: Kentucky Fried Cockatrice

 Session 168 was played on 9/17


Boris, Cleric 9 (Jeff)
Morgana, Mage 7 (Reggie)
Kili, Dwarf Cleric (Matt)

The spell slingers pack up and head to Rocky, looking for answers.

Q1. Where on the 5th level is Song’s lair?
A1. In the Space Out Of Time

Q2. Where is the area on the 5th level where people go in and don’t come out?
A2. Though the 5th level is full of dangers and death, the prison of K’Tulut is inescapable.

Q3. Who is K’Taulut?
A3. In the Before Time, K’Taulut was a power, a spirit, a god.

With these answers, and a promise to visit again soon, they head down to level 5 via the shaft from level 3, encounter a random jelly, and begin exploring the rooms and halls around the stairs. After the jelly, they find and kill a giant lizard, and collect the small stash of treasure. Then they come upon an ornate cobra throne. Not finding any traps, Morgana sits in it, and feels tingly. She jumps off, but seems okay otherwise.

In a large pillared hall, they’re attacked by a large snake that wraps Kili up and bites him. He’s squeezed tight, crunching his armor into his flesh before Morgana and Boris kill the snake and release him.  Passing through some broken doors they see some kobold writing, and ignore it. Deeper in they spy some chicken-like creatures in the darkness ahead. Pausing to decide what to do, Morgana casts lightning down the hall, frying the lizard-birds. Another pops it’s heads out angrily from a side passage, and Morgana casts “sleep” on it, which fails, and they kill it the old fashioned way. Checking around the dead and fried bodies, they find a nest with 7 eggs and some treasure. Collecting the bodies, eggs, and treasure, they head out.

Back in town, they deliver the bodies, and most of the eggs to the alchemist in return for some potions of stone to flesh. Morgana keeps one egg to try to raise it to be his familiar.

Gains: coins, gems, cockatrice eggs
Kills: Ochre Jelly, Cockatrices, Python, Tautara Lizard
