Sessie 12 - Uktar 13 (Day 29)

The next day, the party enters an underground river complex. Some of the rivers are bridged but the party uses other means to cross the rivers until Saul tries to cross one of the bridges. Suddenly a creature drops from the ceiling, attacking Saul and destroying the bridge in the process. Saul and the monster fall into the river and are carried along on the swift current. Carolus, Orih and her companion jump into the water after him but more monsters drop from the ceiling, attacking them. Saul is carried away together with the monster who keeps constricting him until the underground tunnel gets smaller and blocks the monster's passage. Saul is carried on and can get out of the underground river a bit further where he discovers a small crystaline cave and a corpse with a magical stone. In the mean while, Orih, her companion and Carolus loose contact with each other as they are carried on the current down the underground river complex. While the rest of the party is in the water, the monster's masters, two illithids, attack the mad hermit. He fights like a true hero but is killed in the end. Orih can defeat one of the monsters and finds Saul. Although Saul wants to leave the dead priest of Lathander's corpse alone, Rohi wants to take the magical loot. She summons thocquas to dig a tunnel back to the cavern. In a similar way, she can retrieve the other companions. When the party is reunited, Saul revives the mad hermit and the party makes ready to continue their journey.
