(continued from Session 015)
The party named the oxen Fred and Ginger. We kept going and found a water place. Refilled and rested.
Awoke and moved on. As we trotted down the hallway, a creature that looked like a human earwig emerged from the wall and attacked Enna, clawing and biting her for significant damage, knocking her unconscious. We fought back against two of the creatures, with Kiiv and Morro doing heavy damage while Whipp was initially confused, Kestyn revived Enna, and Gulden healed her. Enna was knocked unconscious again quickly by the rampaging earwig and healed by Morro. Gulden incapacitated one earwig with Tasha's Hideous Laughter while inspiring us, and we whaled on it for a while, disadvantaged by our inability to look directly at it without risking confusion. Many rizz rolls were attempted. Orla hit with magic missile. Kestyn and Whipp and Orla all went down and were helped by their compatriots. Enna wild-shaped into a giant lizard. Eventually one earwig ran off straight through the wall and we worked on the other one. After it was spurting, it too ran away. Morro chased down the first one while Whipp, Kestyn, and Gulden chased down the second. It turned on Gulden and put him down, though Kestyn eventually killed it. Morro came back claiming he killed the first with an amazing shot, though we were unable to verify his claims.
We noticed several tunnels dug by the creatures branching out from this area.
We returned to the watering hole and long rested, using two of Gulden's tiny huts.
Awoke after long rest. Investigated the 7 magic beans we'd found last time but found out little.
