The Adventures of Baradas Rod Continue

The group rests and forms a plan. Airy Water is cast for the group and Barada cast Water Breathing on Himself and Reza. Since they both have free action they will be able to attack beyond the Magic bubble. Dalliance casts Poly-Morph self and the group heads for the edge of the lake.
10 of the fish people are waiting and they cast 10 blue lightning bolts. Although they are illusionary some still believe and take damage. As the group drops down into the water 5 Giant Crawfish start zeroing in. Dalliance uses her wand of fear and all but one flee.
There is a sink hole in the bottom corner of the lake and the Rod of Barada pulls towards it. The group heads for the hole. They descend 300’ feet to a large room that opens beneath their feet. A truly huge Crawfish attacks. After killing the critter the groups approaches a portcullis and wrenches it open. They are met by murder holes full of attackers firing arrows and throwing tridents. The group runs past and drops down another dark shaft. At the bottom there is another room with an even larger crawfish. Another portcullis lies beyond.
After breaching the portcullis the group travels on and is stopped short as one of the walls crumbles and a Purple Worm attacks. The Purple Worm also is illusionary. Although it still deals a great amount of damage before its true nature is detected.
The party encounters another pit with a great mucusy monster. It charms Barada and he brutally attacks Dalliance with his Spear that drains a level from her.
The gooey beast is bashed by Reza and a metal tube is stuck in one of the chunks broken loose. Barada sticks this metal piece in his Rod and it is absorbed into the Rod. For a few moments an unrecognizable ruin glows on the bottom of the Rod. There is speculation about what this ruin might mean. Some decide .. as usual .. that it spells, “Doom”.
Gold glitters on a ledge.
9,000 platinum.
Cloak of the Manta.
A Paint Set
Crystal Vial with Green liquid.
A Platinum Statue of an Evil Goddess
The party back tracks and heads for the surface. Dalliance teleports to Waterdeep to visit the Church of Lothander. She attempts to trade the Statue for a Restoration Spell to return her to her former level. However the Church wants three magic items in addition to the Platinum Goddess Statue. Instead Dalliance uses one of the wishes on her Ring of Three Wishes. She then teleports back to the party.
While Dalliance was gone Brada tells the party that the Rod now pulls in a new direction but that it may only be a few days or weeks away. The party begrudgingly agrees to continue on his quest with him.
