Three Sites Cleansed, Then a Stone Snake Strikes

“The party tracked Viro Ahala through the Chitterwood, meeting the goblin tribe of Thorngrip and the Ancestors Oracle Brakknap, who tasked them with clearing the Isgeri Slayer raiders and cleansing three ritual sites before the ancestors could reveal Ahala's location. Delilah, Maric, Velius and Zinx fought a confusing hazard tree at Little Tree, dispelled a ravenous hole at Hungry Hole with a single clean spell from Maric, and battled animated moss sloths at Moss Pond, recovering talismans, a spacious pouch, and a smuggler's padlock along the way. Brakknap revealed Ahala was using the Stagfall caves, sacred to his grandmother's sacrifice, forcing the party to delve in. Inside, they cut down devils and Hellknight soldiers in two brutal skirmishes, with Velius repeatedly landing devastating sneak attack crits, before a basilisk turned Velius to stone, requiring Maric to douse him in fresh basilisk blood to restore him. The session ended with the party investigating a strange, periodically glowing pillar deeper in the caves. ”
