Sunday Justice - session 4

Sunday Justice, Large Marge, Maurice, and Grungus are still in the underground pit.

As the cloaker disappeared back up into the ceiling, Marge dropped her giant octopus shape to heal everyone. Sunday Justice had the idea of digging a trench to bring the water from the lake into the pit to drown the machine at the bottom. Marge turned in to giant boar and started digging. The digging awakened the cloaker in the ceiling. It swooped down trying to capture the boar. The team worked together to try to keep it off of Marge. Just as she finished digging, the water swept her down into the pit. SJ and Buttons tried to grab her but failed. Marge dropped wild shape and tried to use thorn whip to pull herself out of the pit. She missed on her first throw. Sunday Justice looked at her to try again. She tried using Buttons and SJ as an anchor but pulled them down in to the pit with her. In an act of desperation, she called two giant eagles to save SJ and Buttons. One eagle flew SJ and Buttons back out of the hole. The other eagle tried to slow her fall.

Half way down the pit an invisible barrier stopped the flowing water and the world seemed to then be falling upwards. Marge made it to the bottom after suffering a large amount of damage. The bottom of the pit was a large room with the ceiling and walls covered in cicadas and hives. Grungus lightning whipped everyone down to the bottom of the pit where Marge was. The group took heavy damage. Marge revived Buttons. The group snuck through the slime and were able to open a metal door, slide under, and close the door behind them.

The group found themselves in a room with 3 other doors saying "living quarters," "experiment bay 1," and "experiment bay 2." The took a short rest and decided to first check the living quarters. Despite how hard he tried, Sunday Justice did not find a trap door despite how hard he tried. There were notes strewn across the desk which showed images like a grotesque floating head with mechanical tentacles and eyes, air ships, and making magic more accessible to the masses. Marge found 5 healing potions, 6 diamonds, 1 emerald, 1 ruby, 1 sapphire, a Tome of Clear Thought, and a key that says M-6041. The group decided to take a long rest which resulted in Marge taking two points of corruption.

After resting the group attempted to open the door to experiment bay 2 but the panel was broken and Marge and Maurice were unable to pull up the door. The group then entered experiment bay 1. When they opened the door they were greeted by the sound of the machine they had heard when they were outside of the pit. The room was full of machines. In the center of the room stands a glass tank encasing a black dragon with mechanical wings. A syringe pulls liquid out of the dragon, injects it into a cicada, and then the cicada flies away. When the dragon vomits, it creates a black ooze. The dragon roared at them asking why they were there and asked who they were. As he was banging against the glass, the group noticed there is a small crack at the bottom left of the tank which was one solid hit away from smashing the glass.

The dragon doesn't know this.
