Both groups immediately turned on the Giant Worm. Donnor summoned another creature to attack while Barnin attack head on, and Eligos started firing fireballs at the beast. The fireballs seemed to be very effective because of the rod of empowerment that Eligos picked up in our adventure before the games.
Thankfully we got the best of the creature before it did too much damage. Once the worm was down we attempted to pursue Raknian who fled amidst the chaos that ensued in the arena.
The groups first thought was that he would go to his palace for safety, but a quick search there yielded no results. So back to the Coenoby the group went. Searching high and low ending up in the center where they found the large glass dome shattered, coming to the only logical conclusion the group looked over the edge to find that there was what looked like the worms home with tunnels leading away from the chamber.
So with little fan fare the group threw a rope over the edge and climbed down into the pit. And started exploring. The were quickly greeted by an undead woman, (or as best they could tell, was a woman) Barnin quickly dispatched the fiend. Once it was down, the group attempted to search the corpse thinking that this my be Ekaym’s sister finally found. The group found no hard evidence, but the thought is still lingering that it was her.
Moving on from that room the group found more undead. These were Spawn of Kyuss that we had encountered before at Blackwell Keep. Having dealt with these before still didn’t stop Barnin from stopping the magical fear from overcoming him and sending him into a terrible panic fleeing. But the group quickly dealt with the fiends, and Barnin overcame his irrational fear of these undead, and they moved on.
