Let Sleeping Slimes Lie, Part 2 – Agents of B.E.A.R.D. 046

The Assignment

While on a mission to collect plant life on Storm Island, DRACO, Zilis, Salix, and Svamp find a massive tree, where a river diverges sending water down a fall into an underground cave system. After seeing a strange blob head down through the falls, leaving a trail of slime, they decide to follow it and see what it is.

Mission Summary

• The party continues to delve into the depths of an underground cave, led by DRACO’s inadvertent collection of mysterious crystals, triggering a panic attack due to his past trauma.
• After the previous session’s chaos, the party uncovers a hidden wooden trapdoor under a stone block on the island, revealing a pouch of ancient coins, sparking curiosity and further intrigue. Svamp had her animated zombie friend carry it. They rested on the island and conversed about the situation some more and the party showed their support for DRACO. Rested and reassured, they headed to the shore, stole the old lady’s boat, and headed back down the river.
• Laughter and splashing from an unseen source could be heard from where they had first been a little over an hour ago. They rowed the boat closer and found that the shore was filled with large frogs and happy halflings swimming in the river.
• The frogs let them pass per Zilis’s Emisary of the Seas request. The halflings invited them to come swim, but they declined. They decided to continue on the slime trail.
• Salix could sense something was present. He asked using Druidic permission to enter. A voice responded telepathically saying it didn’t understand, but they were welcomed.
• Inside, they found an aggressive looking drake. Zilis and DRACO immediately attacked. Svamp, further in, found 2 more drakes and one very large dragon-like drake. She told the party to leave.
