They continue on the path. It bends, and they approach a bridge. A humanoid with the head and horns of a billygoat tells a troll under a bridge that his brothers are right behind and much bigger and fatter, so the troll allows him to pass. When the party arrives, the troll believes they are his brothers.
He charges them, and is slowed by the ascent up from the stream. Crossbow bolts hit it twice for 7 damage and a magical dagger buries itself in its shoulder for 3 damage as well. It regens 3.
Another crossbow bolt does 3 and keeps it from regen-ing basically. Alzar and the others arrive. A Mist Ball encompasses it for 5 damage and 4 blind turns.
Alzar drops his staff, Aleigha and Estaish both hit for 14 damage. It falls, dead-ish. Alzar orders all of the pieces to him, an sees them try to reassemble while he is doing that, but a flask of acid kills it.
XP – 110 each
Nothing here, so they cross and enter the middle area with a circular pool of water, fed by the stream It has three interlinked gargoyles that spray water from their mouths. In the fountain is a chest with a big padlock on it.
They approach cautiously, but the gargoyles do not animate. Alzar stabs into the pool, and at the bottom is a giant amoeba who shakes and moves out. Alzar managed to deal 8 damage to it. It can’t get out of the pool, so alzar tries something. He orders a crossbowman to thunk it, and it deals some damage, but the power is reduced by the water Bolts kill it, but they are running out.
200 XP for Alzar and soldiers.
The chest is retrieved and it cannot be opened. Alzar has it brought with them for now, as he doens;t want to use his last acid flask right now.
(It has 3000 gold and an ornate silver key worth 500 gold)
They continue and come across some amber colored squirrels. They touch a nut, and then it turns golden, and then eat the nut. Weird . Alzar skips them.
