Zaliey sends a Fire bolt at the fungus Attack: 6 Damage: 13

Elroy pulls a wand from his pocket and points it at the fungi. A fireball blasts out of the wand and reduces the fungi to ashes.

"I saved that last charge for a situation like this."

The statue has grown to about 2 feet tall. It now seems to be breathing and slowly turning from stone to flesh.

Zaliey moves away from the statue.... “Hey... everyone look at the statue.”

"What is this evil work going on here?" Cedrick says as he looks at the changing statue. "By the power of Helm, I shall put an end to you once and for all!"

Cedrick casts Sacred Flame on the statue.

The statue, in its not-quite-fully formed state, fails to dodge the flames.

Still holding his shortswords against Elroy, Fuzzyfeet is bewildered by the current situation as he looks at the ever changing statue. As he tries to collect himself, he remembers the words he said to Elroy. The bugbear resolves himself and whispers to Elroy's ear.

"You should have listened to my warnings janitor."

Shortsword Attack: 9 Damage: 7 Piercing damage

Offhand Shortsword Attack: 15 Damage: 4 Piercing damage

Sneak Attack: 5

Elroy leaps away, unaffected by the blades. He then charges in with a flurry of punches, one at Fuzzyfeet and the other at the statue.

Zaliey sees the attack from Elroy. “I never trusted you!”

Zailey then sends 3 magic missiles at his face.  5. 4.  3

"What a mess!" Blasts Elroy. "That's my overgrown Dustbunny!"

Hit: 16

Damage: 7

"He stabbed me first! I could kill you all!"

Cedrick cares not for the groups squabbles, there are still evil creatures to deal with. He casts Sacred Flame at the statue again.

The horrible creature flops onto the ground, dead. You hear a mysterious voice from beyond the veil recognizable as that of Grigor:

"That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die..."

"With the aid of Helm, we have defeated the evil." Cedrick looks to the group. "Shall we continue the attack on the crab-things?" He raises his mace and prepares to attack.

Ooc: the Fungus-crabs are all dead. Elroy used the last charge on a wand to destroy them with a fireball.

Seeing that his body is literally clinging to the inch of his life as hard as it can, and all the fungus-crabs are dead.

"No sense in following orders from a dead creature."

Fuzzyfeet sheathes his shortswords and lands on his back to rest his weary self.

"Sorry about that Elroy. Following orders is how I lived, even though that is something odd coming from a pirate."

Elroy:

"You get my forgiveness. The Fungi are soulless, albeit intelligent, creatures. You may be wondering what happened to Grigor, and I have part of the answer: his soul has been shattered by the Great Old Ones, horrible elder gods from before any living memory. Before his retirement, he was one of the most important scholars on the unknown edges of the planes. Of course, being one of his students, I learned many secret magical rituals from him. When I escaped that demon, I collapsed the portal to the plane of ooze and went through a secret portal to this island. Of course, I collapsed that one behind me as well. I set up a camp and went to search this city for any knowledge that could help me in my search. Unfortunately, this city was less abandoned then I thought, and I was captured. I only have one idea of where we could go next: under another area of the island, where the great old one Nyogtha sleeps. Fortunately, it is nowhere near as dangerous as Tsathoggua, and can be bargained with. Before then, we will set up camp here and rest."

Zaliey says,  “ I need to rest and recover.  This has more exciting than my entire life added together.  Where shall we camp?”

There are many ruined pentagonal buildings around you.

Cinder looks a little bit embarrassed, "Sorry shooting at you Elroy. I wasn't sure what was happening and saw you kick out little Booty plunderer. I am not the smartest of Matchsticks." Looking around and sing at her team, "At least we lived. This is getting so freaky and interesting, I am happy I was a Warlock of those things. I have heard of them before but apparently they are all crazy."

Elroy explains:

"The great old ones are more than just crazy; they are a corruption on this world, with cults operating everywhere. They have contacts and minions in every plane, from the abyss to the dark corners of the material plane. I'm taking the assumption that you have all heard legends of the Krakens; they are creations of the Great Old Ones and their kings, the Outer Gods. Hopefully, our bargain with Nyogtha will give us a lead; He doesn't have an established cult outside of ghouls and is relatively weak compared to his brethren."
