DM Note
Providing an open campaign with options for the players to go wherever they want can lead to funny moments. This time, the players (both in character and out) discussed their options for quite a while before doing anything. As a DM I was ready. Go left? Sure. Right? Sure. Back? Ok. Downtime? Great! Ultimately, they decided to go back, because treasure...
4U Session 11 Log
Homebrew Campaign (Alternate Forgotten Realms)
[Modules: Modified -----]
With a nice rest, the group was all back together again with their kobold recruits and leather workers (cutting up the dead dragon body); the team discussed what to do and where to go next. Some of them wanted to return to the Bayou Brigade fort, some of them considered returning to Tholmme, and some wanted to go back to the shattered Obsidian Fang. They went back and forth debating whether or not to take downtime, but they ultimately chose to seek out treasure at the Obsidian Fang.
Puff noticed lots of snakes in the swamp now; he used "speak with animals" to find out the snakes had been oppressed before and were now happily retaking control of the area. The team had first traveled part of the way to the fort, but Aegle's scouting revealed some yuan-ti doing a ritual and snake banners at the fort now; that was why they headed back to Obsidian Fang.
In exploring the levels of Obsidian Fang, the team defeated: a minotaur, a clay golem, a mud mephitic, a cockatrice, and 2 displacer beasts; an evocation wizard escaped via a purple-swirly magic portal. The team also found a nice amount of treasure - including a captured modron that was able to communicate with Kori. Some of the treasure auto-attuned and may have been cursed - including a dagger that made Puff try to stab himself through the heart.
The team gave Mel (the former lycan) some of the best gear and he went through the portal first (to scout); the portal required a magic portal key; when Mel never returned, the rest of the team figured out the cursed dagger was also a key and Puff ended up stabbing himself as he tried to use it; Puff survived and the team (Kori, Puff, Aegle, Frazzle, Acidfire, the 3 kobolds, the 2 leather workers, and the captured modron) went into the portal...
Sidenote: There were also some antics with carrying around the mundane chest that seemed to be a "Chest of Holding."
