SPEAKER_04: Now we can pick up all the loot that we can put in the wheelbarrow.
SPEAKER_00: It hasn’t gotten us killed yet.
SPEAKER_00: I set my backpack over by Michael and then I cast levitation on myself.
SPEAKER_04: Divination for easy loot is never a sure thing.
SPEAKER_04: I failed to keep track after the one I set aside saying this should be your leftover one.
SPEAKER_00: I guess that’s a thing for next week.
SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, it still counts against the whole group’s loot total, so I mean, I think that’ll help anyway.
SPEAKER_04: I could learn some light spells next week.
SPEAKER_04: So probably the play is to send somebody strong with as much loot as they can carry up while everyone else covers me.
SPEAKER_04: um we can say look um we tripped over some kind of slide and we ended up going like three levels down and found an exit somehow into the waterfall and it was a big weird thing um we don’t know how to repeat it
SPEAKER_04: I think we escape this way and just say, look, we found a weird, non-repeatable way out.
SPEAKER_04: And the second they say I’ll clear with all their loot, I let the spell drop.
SPEAKER_04: They may or may not have loot.
SPEAKER_04: I mean the big downside from from a loot perspective to the baboons is that they’re unlikely to use a significant number of like complicated tools that are worth money.
SPEAKER_04: Going back into the pyramid I have no idea what we’ll find but obviously we found a bunch of gold in a rat’s nest so anything could happen.
SPEAKER_04: We didn’t find any loot.
SPEAKER_00: They got real mad because we found them.
SPEAKER_00: So my goal is to get close enough that I don’t feel like I’m unlikely to succeed.
SPEAKER_04: um well while we have five minutes do we want to try and plan for next time so that we don’t have to wonder next time my reflex is to try and finish dealing with this floor altogether um and so
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I’m just making sure I understand the plan here Sweet I mean that’s gonna make a big difference with the swords and stuff
Reliable Facts (reviewed)
The party had a direct, non-combat encounter with the green dragon Craastonistorex, who demanded they reset the dam flow and warned them away from his wyvern tower.
They returned to the dam and reset water controls before resuming exploration at the Pyramid of Thoth.
A different statue-arm configuration on the pyramid opened an alternate stair with corpses and loot, but the party deferred deeper exploration there.
The group used the pyramid lever-teleporter and reached the lower mirror complex, then uncovered and used the Well of Light to escape before hostile baboons could close.
In lower halls, the party made contact with the Children of Deino through a trap/parley sequence and withdrew without fighting.
