The Moon in the Well

Verod's all out attack on the massive corpse ogre gets him close enough to rend vicious wounds in the monster's body exposing the spine which the badger cleaves in two with a desperate final strike! The mountain of rotten flesh collapses on top of Verod, pinning him in a heavy hell of maggoty stank!

The other Heros of Noctys charge the Worm that Walks in a berserker fury, each striking out with no regard for their own safety and Ostarghi manages to land the final strike that shatters the warlock's physical form and sends 150 pounds of worm and maggot spraying across the ground. The arthropods immediately begin to write and scurry away, burrowing into the ground and disappearing into the shadows of the crumbling cavern.

"thiss iss not overrr..."

Raine turns to the thrashing Worm Queen and splats his hands in an attempt to invoke the power that would burn the colossal maggot out of existence before it could bring the whole place down on top of them...

Unfortunately, I think the bad guys have a turn before the round resets.

Andreas lands a mighty overhand blow against the Brood Queen and the massive hammer he wields smashes a gaping hole through the creature's chitinous exo-membrane! Ooze and acid and a blood-like substance begin pouring out of it at an alarming rate and the huge maggot begins to once more writhe and thrash in it's death throes. As it slams against the cavern wall it brings down more of the earth and stone that make up the ceiling and sprays a final disgusting gout of acidic vomit before finally curling up in a convulsive death ring.

As the Worm Queen dies and the dust and muck from the falling debris finally settle, all is quiet in the chamber of the worm. Raine busies himself sifting through the mouldering scrolls on the stone shelves of the room while the voice of your patron fills the stale air.

"Break the circle and I am freed..."

The squire quickly realizes that the circle itself is carved into the stone of the floor and will not be so easily destroyed...

The blade cuts through the magic circle like butter and with explosive release the magic is broken! Noctys immediately appears before you, her presence sucking all light and air from the room.

"My champions, you have my gratitude. Take what you wish from this place before I destroy it, I will take you above when you are ready."

Bishka finds a barrel in one part of the room with 12 spears in it as well as 3 spears with silver tips!

Verod sniffs around with his wiggly badger nose and uncovers a gold statue, about six inches tall, of a dwarf that seems to be drunk and holding an ale cask.
