Session 43 - Nickelodeon Splat Vats

We have landed safely in the large open chamber. One of the walls holds murals telling a story of how humans struggled against air elementals and forced them into human bodies. The story ends with the humans succeeding. Four shambling ice-creatures are in this chamber with us. As we carefully sneak towards the door, they notice us and a battle begins. We kill them, cause that's what we do best.

Zunigri tries to pull a big bad wolf, but it seems this little piggy constructed the enormous door out of stone. After blowing into the keyhole failed, Mergrim picked the lock. The door swung open slightly and triggered a trap that hit the people next to the door for a MILLION lightning damage.

Beyond the door lies a vast chamber. Rows upon rows of vats containing green slime are placed intermittently throughout the chamber. Suspended in the liquid are strange forms of varying degree human and creature. It seems this green slime has been slowly mutating them, stripping them of their humanity. They have ice-scales growing on their bodies, slowly turning them towards a more Sahuagin appearance.

We break free one of the victims: a young girl with brown hair who seems to be in the early stages of the transformation. After we freed her from the vat, spilling the green slime everywhere, she struggles for breath as her gills have activated and she can no longer breathe air. Marxiros manages to remove this foul mutation, saving her from a terrifyingly low and painful death. She tells us of a large and dark creature that has been stalking the chamber. He is apparently the mastermind of this place.

Saphire finds Katrina in another vat deeper within the chamber. She seems displeased that we took so long to come rescue her. We break her free and she is excited to get some payback. Shortly thereafter a creature comes charging through a vat straight at Mergrim. This creature has the upper body of a human with bull horns, but their lower body is just swirling air. It seems we found one of the air elementals forced into a human body, or rather it found us. We beat the crap out of it.

As the creature is vanquished it dissipates into a fine mist, leaving no trace behind. We take a moment to gather our breath and wonder what sort of heinous creature this could have been. The answer lies of course somewhere in the next session!
