SAGA Log 1492: Entering Omu
Module: Tomb of Annihilation (Modified for High Level)
with Skarkrathel (from Storm King's Thunder)
On Merth-Yoril, continuing their vengeance quest:
Pylia, Drizmar, Blue, Blood, their unicorn, the five duplicates, and Artus Cimber spent a day traveling to the “Forbidden City of” Omu. They scoped out the area and formed a plan, splitting the party so that Artus went with the core team to the island surrounded by lava while the team of duplicates went to the well (with areas flooded by water).
The duplicates stealthed their way around to try to avoid patrols of yuan-ti guards, but they were eventually spotted (once they were near the muddy entrance to the well). While between two groups of yuan-ti guards, the team was immobilized and captured by Slarkrathel and two beholders (that had yuan-ti scales on them)!
Meanwhile, the core team (with Artus) investigated the Shrine of Moa; they killed four jungle snakes, survived the traps, destroyed the dozen archer statues, and spent a while figuring out the puzzle cube situation (with multiple cubes/illusions). They eventually realized the puzzle cube didn’t do anything inside the shrine. They tried magically messaging the other team, but got no response. In frustration, they decided to have Blood use her spells to locate where they needed to go, which was an area at the other end of the valley/ruined city.
Arriving near the entrance of an old Acererak dungeon, the team killed a red wizard and detected the false entrances. Drizmar’s skills and the team’s magic carpets helped them evade multiple traps and issues in the dungeon (after they spent several minutes destroying the puzzle-cube-keyed door, since they didn’t want to go find the other eight puzzle keys needed to unlock it). Blood communicated with a ladybug to discover which way “the angel lady” had gone, thus putting the team on a path to the main stairwell of the dungeon. After they dealt with the gargoyle puzzle at the bottom of the stairs, they were attacked from above...
The two yuan-ti-beholders flew down carrying the yuan-ti converted duplicates, thus resulting in an epic battle as the team fought yuan-ti versions of themselves. Pylia disintegrated her duplicate self. The yuan-ti constrictor snake (former unicorn) killed its duplicate. They teamed up against the yuan-ti version of Blood. Drizmar killed the yuan-ti duplicate of Blue. Blue killed the duplicate of Drizmar. Artus used the Ring of Winter to ice-petrify one of the beholders. Pylia polymorphed the second beholder into a bunny.
In the end, somewhat worn down, the team stood victorious: Pylia, Drizmar, Blue, Blood, and Artus. Blue wanted Pylia to use her wish to give them the effect of a rest. Blood suggested they leave the dungeon to rest. Pylia insisted they not rest (and not use the wish spell yet) since they had more dungeon to clear out before getting to Veersalla.
