"What in the name of Mystra just happened?" Nik Nak yelps. "Should I burn the bag, or d'you think they're still inside?"

 Meep screams as she is consumed by the bag, lost in the darkness of undeniable death. However, she is surprised when something else latches onto her and with a loud ear ringing pop, everything goes black.

Zee Gorf has checked out of zee building.

Jill was struggling to keep Meep from getting pulled under when Misha rushed over, smiled at her and then jumped into the bag and vanished with Meep. She had no idea what her friend was hoping to do, and it didn't seem like she would ever know. Jill stood there in shock for a moment and then she felt herself begin to choke up as she began to cry. "I am sorry. I tried my best to save her, I really did. Misha would not have needed to jump in if I was strong enough."  

Despite their best efforts, Jill and Amelia just weren't strong enough to help Meep out of the grasping tentacles, which in turn caused Misha to go in after her. Her lips thinned as her stared at the bag, unsure of what to do now aside from bringing the blood hunter into a hug and comforting her. "Hey, hey... It's okay... Just let it out. They're gonna be fine, ya hear? They're both strong and capable women... and frog." 

“What in the planes just happened?!” Persephone yelps in surprise. “Where did they go off to?!” is all she can manage to squeak out as she stands there in dumbfounded shock.

She’ll start to pace around the area, lost in deep thought.

Nik Nak shakes her head sadly. "Sacrifices, terrible," she says simply, giving her brother's hand a brief squeeze. "We mourn back at base. We continuing through this maze? And am I burning the bag?"

“NO!” Persephone screams out. “That bag might be their only portal to and from where they went!  Destroying it might destroy their chances of making it back here in one piece!”

A cave like hovel lies at the center of the massive bramble structure. Hundreds of bones and body parts hang by twine from the entrance, and the ceiling is strung with garland made of bloody entrails. The air buzzes with flies. This is truly a nightmare of a scene. 

"Okay, jeez," Nik Nak mutters. "This is why I asked. I won't burn it. I'm also not touching it."

In the clearing, Nik Nak makes a face. "Gross...wonder who the housekeeper is? Can we lodge a complaint? In their skull?"

With Amelia's comfort, Jill stops crying. As they make the trek eastward, Jill has her hand on the holy symbol of Bane that Misha gave her and is praying in Cormyrish. As she approached the house, she put on a brave face. It is what Misha would want me to do right now.

Upon seeing the disgusting hovel, Persephone will hide in the shadows, slinking away from the main body of the adventuring group as usual (Stealth: 19).

You trip, loudly, do a silly tapdance, and fall right on your ass into a pile of bones and infant skulls. Oddly enough, there is no one in the cave, but off in the distance in the brambles you can hear low moaning, as if creatures are diverging unto your position.

Jill draws out her longsword and activates her Crimson Rite, getting ready to fight whatever's coming.

MAKE LIKE A TREE, AND..

Two enormous bone treants emerge from the brambles. They're huge, and lumber towards you, and you can hear the disembodied laughter of what sounds like some sort of witch, or hag off in the distance. The treants advance, looking to pound you into the hot ground.

Treant1: 8
Treant2: 6

Jill: 15

This isn’t the pounding I asked for.

Amy: 8

Corrin: 7

Jill19, Amelia8, Treant1(150), Seph7, Corrin7, Nik7, Treant2(150)

Persephone keeps on looking up, and up, and up, until finally seeing the tops of the enormous treants lumbering towards them. “Whoa....”
