Northreach Session 16: Pyramid of Shadows

From Toosigma

Session 16 Summary:

After defeating their foes, the group took a short rest to search the bodies of the fallen attackers. The group decided to take the long road around to the second forest garden area. Tinverton finds three more Aborean reapers, a pair of Quickling runners. They attack the group and although most fall, one quickling gets away. Nothing special is found on the bodies of the fallen.

Tinverton scouts to find the escaped quickling and listens at a door to the south. Hearing nothing he scouts further to find another large grassy tree area. A reaper named Cannor, a cave bear, a terror, and the second runner attack the group. Many of the party fall but are saved as Cannor and his allies are defeated. They find a Guardian Shield that Julian accepts as one of the protectors of the group. Findo suggests an extended rest but the party pushes on to the west.

The find a pit room where three shambling mounds are thrashing away, an arborean reaper, and a satyr whose music thwarts there best attempts to control the situation. The shambling mounds suck Sora, Julian, Grundor, and Tinverton into their maws as Findo keeps his distance trying to used his ranged bolts of destruction. After a pitched battle, the party defeats the enemies. They decide it is time for an extended rest and retreats to find a place to hole up for some time.
