[QUOTE="mikeawmids, post: 8007911, member: 6776411"] [U]The Adventures of Fap Longwood #20 (Lost Mine of Phandelver)[/U] Somewhat recovered, the party delve ever deeper into Wave Echo Cave. The heroes have secured the Forge of Spells, but have yet to encounter the Black Spider. The fate of Gundren’s youngest brother (Nundro) is still undetermined. The incessant crashing of waves grows louder as the party move further north. The tunnel terminates at a narrow ledge overlooking a vast underground lake. Although there is no tide, some seismic phenomenon replicates the effects of waves crashing against the cliff face. The heroes carefully traverse the rocky ledge to reach a tunnel mouth in the western wall. The cavern ahead is divided by a deep ravine. A shallow stream flows along the bottom of the rift. Two bugbears are splashing about in the water, supervised by a third bugbear and what appears to be a drow. [B]“The Black Spider!”[/B] Gundren growls through clenched teeth. Fap cast [I]Hunters Mark[/I] on the dark elf and takes careful aim at his prey. Apparently he was not careful enough, as his shot misses the target and alarms the enemy. Horatio uses his new boots to spring across the ravine in a single bound and charges toward the drow. The dark elf steps back and commands her bugbear bodyguard to kill the dwarf. Fap moves forward to get a better angle on the bugbears in the stream. The ledge beneath his feet crumbles and Fap tumbles into the ravine. One of the bugbears tries to cave his head in with a rock. Brian slides into the rift and smites the bugbear with Lightbringer. Blinded by the radiant glow, the bugbear falls prone in the stream. Brian splashes in after it to finish the job and the water runs red with bugbear blood. Fap raises his bow and takes another shot at the dark elf. This one crits and does a ridiculous amount of damage (1d8 base weapon damage, plus 1d6 for [I]Hunters Mark[/I], plus 1d6 sneak attack damage, plus 1d8 for colossus slayer x2 for Critical Hit, plus 3 dexterity modifier = 35 damage). The drow is killed! The body transforms into a smooth, skinned, featureless grey humanoid; a Doppleganger! Mara notices that Daran appears upset by the death of the shapechanger. The old adventurer brushes off her questions. Mara is suspicious. [B]“Come on!”[/B] Daran urges, [B]“The real Black Spider must be close!” “Wait,” [/B]Mara says, [B]“How can we be sure that you are really you?” “What?! Of course I’m really me!” [/B]Daran protests. [B]“Who is the current leader of the Order of the Gauntlet?”[/B] Brian asks. [B]“We don’t have time for this!”[/B] Daran argues, [B]“The Black Spider - ” “Can wait.” [/B]Brian says, [B]“Answer the question.” “I… I… er….” “Doppleganger!!” [/B]Mara cries, throwing a [I]Firebolt[/I] into Daran’s face.
