DND 3-1-20 notes
*No previously on yet*
Close up on unconcious Tommy. He is prone on the floor. The stench of death around him makes him sick. He sees that is clothes are wet-- with blood. 
His right cheek stings. He puts his hand to his cheek. 
He looks around to see if he can piece together the past. He notices the raptors in particular locations, but other than that cannot draw conclusions -- too spread out. 
He calls out meekly "Balricstein?" 
Tommy notices the basket in the water after noticing blood in the water. 
He tries to swim. He dives, slamming into the surface. He takes 2 points of damage. 
He then walks over to the rope of the basket. He hears gears crank and suddenly a boulder crashes towards him from above-- he dives to safety. It plummets down where he was moments ago. 
Devorin hears the noise and says "that didn't sound good. I heard a crash." He goes back while Tazlin and Balric stay in the corridor. 
He heads back and *previously on* in Devorin character to Tommy. He claims to kill almost all of them by himself. "blood rage ran through me" Sleight of hand writes a note in blood and says "didn't you see our note". Tommy says he must have missed it. 
Says some came back from the dead and he (devorin) had to kill them again. Tommy starts to complain that we were going to leave him behind, and Devorin says that "we were going to come back for you, eventually." 
Meanwhile Tazlin is just bitching to Balric about Devorin. 
They move up in the corridor and see a servant of Selvano (Balric disguised) and Tazlin. 
Devorin says "yeah, how is this?" sarcastically. The misunderstanding is cleared up when Tommy and Balric do their secret handshake. 
We make our way westward and Tazlin falls into a pit trap 30 ft. down. As we throw a rope down and ask if he is okay, Tazlin misty steps out of the hole and tells Devorin to fuck off. 
Balric, dressed as a captain, bullies his way past a rookie guard who tries to challenge them. "I give the orders around here. I need to get these prisoners through here." We continue on our way. 
He cowers away and mutters about maybe falling asleep at his post.
We are stuck trying to go through by a swinging spike ball. Devorin suggests going back to get a corpse and clog it. I remind him of the guard. We are loudly whispering. 
Tommy disguises himself as another red-cape captain and goes back to the guard. He intimidates the guard, asking "do you remember the passphrase?"
Tommy and the guard:"what is your name? Oliver. "Okay, Oliver, I don't think you will be with us for much longer. What? You didn't say the passphrase first part. THey didn't tell you about the surprise rounds? Hmm, okay, well good bye for now. 
Tommy is holding the guard against the wall. I run up as Tommy is yelling for help while strangling him. 
Balric runs into the "zone of truth" that Tommy cast, and the guard asks what is going on. Balric blurts out "We are trying to trick you into telling us the passphrase."
Devorin and Tazlin run up hearing the commotion. Devorin intimidates the guard, threatening to kill him after showing him his friends down the hall. 
Balric clasps his hands over his mouth, horrified at blurting out the truth. 
Tazlin begins to evangilize, casting a spell to turn the guard to his side for 24 hours. The others take a short rest. 
The response for the Sovano check is "Be joyful and at peace, for your fates will provide a better world for others." 
The guard, as he is fleeing us to go do good, says check your handbook to me for traps and such. Devorin goes back to the room, finds a journal and picks up two dead guys to try and clog up the swinging death trap ball. 
We make our way forward, come to a dead end and see a face carved into the floor. 
Tazlin warns us that there may be a trap above the face. He has a bad feeling about it. The ceiling is 80 ft up and the sides drop down 50 ft. It is some sort of monster up above the face of the floor. 
As Tommy investigates the face, walking all over it, he steps on the mouth and it closes around Tommy's boot. A rumbling begins and reaches a cresendo that almost shakes the walls. 
A bell on the wall begins to ring. The magic I detected breaks around the monster. Tommy takes off his shoe to escape the face. 
The creature inhales and exhales - shooting electricity in all directions. A huge snake-like creature with arms, seemingly slimy. Tazlin, being from the beastlands, recognizes it from the stories about this temple of people dissapearing to it. A Bahere, who has killed many in his tribe. 
Tazlin also notices the creature has something around its neck-- almost necklace-like.
