The Haunting of Poo Pool Manor

Session Date: January 5, 2024

We prepared for our heist. The day of, the planned distraction by the cultists at the bottom of the cliff went off without a hitch. We reached the base of the cliff and Raktosh used his magical boots to saunter up the face of it with the casual easy of an overconfident DM. We followed him up using the rope he dropped down to us.

We set off the first trap when Remi tried to lift the portcullis over the entrance. He narrowly avoided being yeeted directly off the cliff.

In a mistake to be revealed at intervals, we entered the sewer. All went as expected, sewers, traps, etc. Until we reach the poo pool. And y'all, much in the way our characters will never wash off the stench, neither shall we wash off the horrors of the poo pool.

The path dropped down below the haze of fog into the pool. We shocked ourselves by discovering a force wall across the middle of the pool without splatting ourselves into it. But unhappily, that meant we would have to swim it. Zakm dove right in, thankfully not literally, but soon found himself sinking into the pool and meeting a friend down below. Xandria, who happened to be naked, began repelling the wall next, but halfway down, a poo wraith popped out of the wall, utterly spooking her. She responded by freaking out and disintegrating it, then backsplashing into the pool.

More wraiths arrived and things really went to shit. The Bear got paralyzed and then cannonballed into the pool to escape, which was splashing good fun. We all end up scrambling up the other poop wall to get out of the poop hole.

We finally made it into the house, which was trapped to hell. We set them off with appalling regularity. We finally arrived at the closet, which was actually a bottomless (okay fine, it had a bottom, but like way down there) pit. After searching the house and separating Zakm and The Bear from The comfy bed, we descended into the pit.
