We are on Wormwood looking for MrGreen. He is being held in the CathedralOfTheUnholy in the city of Atala.

AimilMacEalar has given us a bag of healing slime. She and her friends will create a distraction while we try to get MrGreen out of the CathedralOfTheUnholy. On the way, BobBobowski asks how MrGreen got captured. They were taking a WormPriest to pilot one of the BattleStars, but they were ambushed and overwhelmed. MrGreen sacrificed himself so the WormPriest could get away. DarkPriests are housed in the CathedralOfTheUnholy. Lots of WormZombies.

We go through the basement of a warehouse near the CathedralOfTheUnholy. We can burrow into the crypts from there. BobBobowski uses his crystal of Burrowing. We get to the wall of the cathedral and move a loose panel to get into a vaulted cell (manacles on the walls). About 20 ft square. There are some small drainage holes in the floor.

Outside we see 3 chambers. We run into some demons that are shackling humans to the walls. They seem to ignore us, and we wait until they leave. We leave the humans there for now and head on down the hall. BobBobowski takes point.

We come to a room with a couple of demons. There are more humans chained to the walls. There are brain/tentacle things coming from the ceiling and sucking the PPE out of the humans. There is a robed figure and six of TheDemonHorde. 9 foot tall human skeletons covered in worms wearing platemail. They are WormZombies.

BobBobowski casts a Banishment spell on the demons. All six demons vanish. The dark priest looks up.

1. Round
   • I try to get out a couple of gadgets and drop them.
   • The priest runs out of the room
   • AimilMacEalar pulls out a bow and shoots in between the WormZombies at the priest. She hits him right in the shoulder blades and he starts to jerk and twitch.
   • The WormZombies attack AimilMacEalar. She sidesteps one of them, but the other smacks her good with it's sword.
   • KevinMacFargle attacks with his silver chain sword. Cuts one in half.
   • JohnnyFlame throws a ball of flame at the remaining WormZombie and burns it down. The worms seem to resist the fire, but they are still destroyed.

BobBobowski grabs the priest and strips him. He asks AimilMacEalar if we need the guy. Hearing no, he kills the priest.

• Magic vial
• Bag of slime
• Dagger
• Wilks Laser Pistol

BobBobowski gives the bags of slime to AimilMacEalar. She says the bag is Debilitation slime (slow & confusion). The magic vial is an Ointment of Speak Language. BobBobowski asks AimilMacEalar how to kill the brain parasites connected to the humans. She says you need a parasite controller. None of us can. I put the brain things to sleep, and the fall off the humans. We then kill off the brain things.

BobBobowski goes up the corridor looking in rooms. 1st room: large slime cauldron. 2nd room: 6 PPE vampires. 3rd room. 6 more PPE vampires. JohnnyFlame burns them down.

At the end of the corridor, BobBobowski sneaks ahead invisibily. He finds a room with 6 demons and some sort of large humanoid armored with strange bio-parasite armor.

1. Pre-Initiative
   • BobBobowski banishes 5 of the demons.

1. Round
   • Demon shoots at us. Actually, shoots at KevinMacFargle. It shoots razor sharp spines (but KevinMacFargle seems somehow resistant).
   • KevinMacFargle runs in and attacks the Bio Armor guy. Shoots him in the face (shakes him).
   • Demon guy charges JohnnyFlame and attacks, but does not seem to affect him. JohnnyFlame's flame shield burns him (shaken).
   • JohnnyFlame burns the demon down.
   • I look for invisible stuff, freak out and run away.
2. Round
   • JohnnyFlame burns the Bio Armor Guy.

We continue deeper into the complex under CathedralOfTheUnholy. We come to a large set of double doors. I create a scrying bubble solution and blow a rainbow bubble that disappears through the door. I see a corridor with 6 WormZombies and a couple of large alcoves with doors in them, and a door at the far end. BobBobowski asks me to check out the door we passed by (where we fought the priest and a couple of WormZombies).

I find another cauldron room (4 cauldrons!). The priests are dumping bodies into them. There are some WormZombies. I continue to search. I find another room filled with people being drained by the PPE vampire brain things. More rooms, with more Demons and Bio Borgs. I find a workshop with priests making slimes. One of the priests notice the bubble and tries to dispel it (but fails).

I find a large central chamber. 4 priests, 20 WormZombies, 10 cauldrons. Many humans. The priest followed me in. A priest pulls out a gem, and I drop the spell.

We talk about where the stairs might be. We decide to rush the corridor with 6 WormZombies.

1. Round
   • KoraChang charges inside and drops one (screaming loudly).
   • JohnnyFlame attacks another one, burning it down.
   • KevinMacFargle shoots a couple down (2 left).
   • Doors on the right open and some more WormZombies and priests come in.
     • JohnnyFlame: Let 'em form up, I'll knock 'em down.
   • One of the priests becomes intangible. Another summons a parasite.
   • Parasite attacks KoraChang.
     • BobBobowski interrupts, summoning his own Parasite to attack it.
     • But the parasite bites KoraChang and she falls back against the fall, sliding down.
   • BobBobowski's parasite attacks the other, but misses. Bob pulls out his rocket launcher.
   • A WormZombie attack KevinMacFargle.
   • I try to entangle one (miss) and Aim. Then I boost my shooting and shoot (hit but no damage).
   • …
2. Round
   • …
   • JohnnyFlame burns 6 or so of them (they die).
   • KevinMacFargle shoots at some of them.
   • I create barriers blocking off the doors to the Ceremonial Room.
3. Round
   • KevinMacFargle shoots at one and doesn't really hurt it (the last one).
   • A priest pops out and tries to put us all to sleep.
   • JohnnyFlame shoots at the priest, but shadows come out and deflect the attack.
4. Round
   • Priest disappears back into the wall.
   • KevinMacFargle attacks with his chain sword, and cuts it down.
   • I dispel the Priest's Intangibility. I figure out where he went (into one of the rooms with the PPE Vampires). I tell everyone and we go after him.
   • …
   • AimilMacEalar waits for JohnnyFlame to get in first.
   • JohnnyFlame runs up and throws a flame bolt into the room. Room go boom. No more Priest.
   • I use Clairvoyance to look for the stairs (there are large stairs across from the Ceremonial Room).
   • BobBobowski helps KoraChang.

We heal up KoraChang. I see a throne area with a large demon surrounded by 6 crucified figures. One of them is MrGreen.
