Due to real life issues, I'm back as GM and Groin is back as a player. Alright, let's make this awesome!
We ended up last time with Zyn spirited away (and now we know why) and the party split, with Solid facing a hole where the tiefling sisters jumped in. He jumped in as well, no questions asked, landing on a spider altar and 3 praying ghosts ahead. The tieflings made for him to be silent, as they explored the cave. But then a giant scorpion monster attacked, cutting off one sister and dismembering her. Solid tried to talk to the ghosts, which attacked. The rest of the party got down the slide just in time to take a banshee scream to the face, instantly felling Szivem.
Groin fell next, right after turning the undead. However, the party were more concerned with killing them, thus only one ghost ran away. But not before felling Groin. Great teamwork, guys!
After a short healing session, the party proceeded after the screams of the second tiefling sister, who ran away during the fighting. They found her dismembered as well. Their path led them into a laboratory/butcher's shop/field hospital, full of bones and torture/surgery implements. They searched the bones, disturbing the undead beneath. Groin fell once more, paralyzed by their venom.
Selene countered with a fireball centered on self[1], while Szivem summoned a wall of fire. With both fighters down, the sorceresses took out the undead by themselves.
After a much needed short rest, the adventurers went back to search the temple for another exit. They disturbed the altar, causing spider swarms to attack. They also found two adventurer corpses, which they looted. Upon exiting the temple, however, they were ambushed by a giant scorpion monster. Separated by a wall of force, the party was helpless as the scorpion attacked the sorceresses. Or at least that's what I thought. The sorceresses were actually quite fine, defending themselves with mirror images and shields. There was only so much I could do before I lost concentration, and had to deal with everybody all at once.
After a long fight, the scorpion had enough and ran away, springing another wall behind. Selene teleported through in pursuit, only to be hacked apart, dismembered and pinned to the wall. She made a nice decoration.
As soon as the wall went down (in about 10 minutes), the party went through, intent on killing the scorpion. However, it was nowhere to be found. They only found a secret door, and the one armed skeleton in the corridor behind it.
Next up: is this the end of the road for our plucky wild magic sorceress?
