From Toosigma
Session 11 Summary:
In the aftermath of the battle between the columns, Sora and Grundor are mysteriously teleported away by the powers that be (BJ's hand of god). After shaking off his hangover of many weeks, Pieter woke up in the Halfmoon Inn to find the party gone into the mountain. he found a map and hiked his way into the Well of the Demons running into Allanon. Allanon had been hired to kill Maltrek and had been on his way to the Well. The both entered the Well and made their way safely to the party.
When they arrived the party introduced each other and they went to the room with the four different colored pools. The blue pool turned out to be water, the green a magical poison resistance potion, the red a liquid that instilled rage, and the yellow was pure poison.
It was decided then to drop the four artifacts into their respective circles and open the inner sanctum. The group dropped the items on 1,2,3, and now. As the artifacts dropped there was a fantasitc roar. Findo went out from his room and encountered a large green dragon. Zooming around the inner hall was a doomsphere running over everyone in its path. Siren like beings made those in their room flee from fear, Julian encountered magic undead statues that grappled him to impede his walking, and 2 crossbows came down from the ceiling to attack Pieter and Allanon.
In a pitched battle the group made its way to the rooms of pools and killed the dragon. Tinverton ran to the crossbow room and disabled the traps. The rest of the party avoided the doomsphere and heard doors opening. They got the doors and found another pair of doors inside. After opening the doors they found a third set. After opening the third set they opened the Sacred Chamber of Proving and found 3 smaller demons, Maltrek, a monkey demon, and a huge skeleton minotaur. After a dangerous battle of area attacks that hit party members from the blasters and lots of healing, they defeated them and found a demonic ritual book, a silver key to the Tower of Mysteries, 500 gp, and an elven cloak. They rescued the slaves and headed back to the Seven Pillared Hall.
