Chapter Three: The Last Dream of Mirza Horgul

In his weakened state, Leth is unable to pull Zangua free from the webbing.

Meanwhile, having wrapped both ends of her javelin in the sticky strands, Zora charges up behind the Implacable with the javelin held horizontally out in front of her, and attempts to jam the sticky ends into the backs of its knees.

Edit: Zora only manages to get it stuck behind one knee. The Implacable spins around, the javelin dangling and bouncing from the back of its left leg. Zora jumps back.

Shamush, Vad, you're up!

The first magic missile strikes the Implacable in the hip, turning it slightly as the second missile strikes it in the side. A gout of the bright blue fluid spurts out of the crack in the construct's abdomen, splattering on the ground. The third missile strikes it in the pelvic area, and its legs buckle and it sinks to the ground as the fourth and final missile hits its squarely in the head. There is a sudden loud hisssss and a crack! crack! crack! as the red gems in its head burst, one by one.

The Implacable's upper body pitches forward until the top of its cylindrical head rests on the ground, as if kneeling in abject prostration. Tendrils of steam and smoke coil upward from its body and head. It does not move.

Petition to name this sword Droidslayer...

Absolutely! Or maybe The Placable?

Octo, I hope I'm not the only one who has lost complete track of where we are in the caverns. Have we recently seen any little side chambers or alcoves that would lend themselves to taking a Long Rest? We are also in need of an exposition dump from Zora as far as what she knows about Everil and the Badgerways (maybe even a little recap of what we went over as we ran) so we can plan our next move.

The Placater

Nailed it.

From the room where you encountered Zora, Everil, and the Implacable, you backtracked to the chamber with the three red-painted exits and took the lower path down to a vast open cavern, which is where you are now.

It takes more than one swing to cut through the construct's bronze neck, but Felor manages to decapitate the Implacable.

It's almost 5,000 words, so I'll link to Pastebin, but here is a cut-n-paste-n-lightly-edit version of The Battle of The Badgerways, focusing on how we beat The Implacable. I left out most of the misses and a fair bit of the hits, but it includes all of the exposition we learned from Zora during the escape attempt, which was the reason I started doing it in the first place.

Zora lightly kicks the Implacable's head. It rolls lightly away; it seems to have been nearly hollow. Fine black powder falls out of the empty "eye" sockets. "Huh," she says, and starts scraping her javelin against a stalagmite to get the webbing off.

Zangua pulls himself free without difficulty.

Felor, the results of your check might depend on whether you do put any effort into dismantling/breaking apart the Implacable. There is a fairly large crack in its abdomen, leaking blue fluid. How invasive are you willing to get with your examination?
