The party had the unfortunate luck of running into two large stone earth elementals this week. Bengrim, the dwarven stonelord tried to make peace with the elementals. Unfortunately, it appeared they were tasked with guarding the area and would not give the party passage. The party knew there was no other way out of the area, so they engaged the elementals.
The mechanical pony, Gallop, rushed into battle. One of the elementals slammed the pony twice hard, and it was crushed, never to move again. Krull and Kilrax moved up to engage, as well, but the fists of the elementals was too much for them, and they too were killed.
At this point, the party began to panic, realizing that the elementals were too much for them. They decided the best option was to rush around the elementals and make a run for it. With a just few bumps and scrapes, it went well, until the elementals turned on the party and gave chase. After only a few seconds, Camden was caught by the elementals and also crushed. His death gave the party more time to escape.
The escape was not as easy as hoped. The end of the cavern was a large cavern wall that had to be climbed to escape, perhaps 40 feet tall. The party had difficulty. Someone finally grabbed a rope and tied it up. Several people neared the top. As the elemental came in to crush the party members on the ground, the rest of the party pulled them up to safety.
The next cavern greeted them with the stench of a large underground swampy lake blocking their path. In relative safety, the party made camp for the night. The only disturbance was Jerico waking to the sucking of a leech on his arm.
The swim across the swampy lake quickly became a race, egos driving the party to see who could reach the other side the first. Benson, wanting to avoid the water altogether, levitated himself with arcane power and floated above, towed with a rope by Jerico. Lillian stowed her armor with Bensen and took off swimming with the rest. The party was about 15 feet into the water when 3 swarms of leeches appeared, heading for the party.
RIP: Gallop, Camden, Krull, and Kilrax
