E9-12 - "Golems and Svirfneblin"

After the Torture Theater, we were so injured only a four of us could go on. Tharinel, Fargrim Redbeard and Remgrem GobGob! The others stayed behind. Needed to find Khara quick. She could be dead dead if not so!

To the slave pens we travelled. DROW pushed a fellow Svirfneblin into the pens. It hissed and tried to fight back, but got kicked. DROW! KILL!!! Remgrem stopped Motley from charging in. He point out a big creature covered in webs... maybe made of... webs... and a huge spider in the center of the chamber.

The DROW left, so Motley was sad... but still angry. Web thing and spider would make good subs. In th distance several Svirfneblin were hacking at the stone with picks. Slaves... No worry Gnome Bros! Motley save you!

Fargrim, angry, charged in at the giant spider, swinging his axe and missing as it hopped to the side. The Web Golem turned and slowly moved toward Redbeard and lifted its fist into the air, slamming Fargrim down into the ground. Oh no! Redbeard!

I wanted to get there to help, but the giant spider leaped at Motley. Blocked with shield I did, but it still sat in front of me...in my way.
Across the way Khara suddenly emered from the slave pens! Dwarven girl! She was alive!  She kicked spiders out of the way and charged at the Web Golem. Tharinel look inspired by this and he charged at the Web Golem too, flanking and slashing it twice.

The Web Golem reached down and stuck Fargrim into its sticky fist and lifted him off the ground. He roared defiantly but could not fight the strength of the thing! Then the golem turned and used Fargrim as a weapon, smashing into Khara. Both Dwarves yelled out in pain. Oh no!

The spider blocking my path bit at me and I put my boot in its mouth, ignoring it. Then I growled and whacked my pick into one if its many eyes. It screeched! Remgrem attacked the Golem along side Fargrim who had escaped the grasp of the thing. Tharinel stabbed into the mass of webs and it seemed to never go down! The golem picked up Khara and whacked Remgrem GobGob. Remgrem cried out and Khara went limp, knocked silly.

Fargrim tried to swing at the Web monster but got punched in the face, knocking him out cold. Then Remgrem turned to look up at the big creature and swung his white sword and it was blocked and he was kicked in the head, knocking him out too. I saw my brothers hacking away nervously at the rocks with their picks... they had weapons... they... could... “Help us brothers! We come to kill the DROW!” The other gnomes looked to each other then ran over and surroundeed the web golem, pummeling it, taking large chunks off of it. Tharinel knelt down in the distraction and smacked Fargrim awake. Fargrim grumbled, and stood up then took his axe and chopped the golem into pieces.

I cheered and noticed the big spider still was gnawing at my boot. Brothers ran over and beat down the spider and I took my pick and picked its brain. Teehee. Get it? It fell over dead. Khara reached into the Web Golem’s body and picked out the second piece of the Pendant of Ashaba. Yay we had both pieces and she knew how to put it back together! We could get out of the Underdark. Motley like killing the DROW, but Underdark so...dark and...undery... Sigh.
