At the Medusa's Head...
The group deliberates on any "unfinished business" on the first level. Meaning, what foul captains of the Pit have not lost their heads to our hands. We settled on one last target- the [REDACTED]

...Then Down to the Abbey...

• The party had to flip way back to their older maps in order to chat a path through the Abbey's upper works (PC NOTE: mapping works y'all!)
• The trip should have been easy, but a colony of fungal zombies halted progress but a fireball from the hands of one of the party's many magicians sauted those 'shrooms (PC NOTE: seriously, our party is spellcasters and thieves...and the Dark Country's most beloved being- Liminal)
• The fungal zombies cause further deliberation since they generally reside on lower levels- is something pushing up? Worrying as these same monsters laid low Sotar, a Cleric of the 4th level (RIP to a real one)
• We also visited the [REDACTED] to show it off to the new party member and ended up tusslin' with some goat men who had ample coin and a figurine of the Lady (uncorrupted; 500sp)
• This led us to the lair of our intended target, which is cut off from the rest of the Abbey. We experimented with a few different ways of reaching the beast and found success in rotating magicians out in a tense moment of trying not to die every 3 rounds.
• In the end we were able to walk away with some new spells, silver, and furniture!

...And back to the Medusa's Head

Together this action clear the first level of all the "hot-spots", but the presence of the fungal zombies might mean we've just cleared space for a new foe to make its home!
