The Vegepygmies
The group is in the lost city of Omu. Frost giants want Paultin's ring of winter. Right now, a giant is looming above Paultin. The rest of the group are in a ruined palace

A small army of vegepygmies arrives on to the scene, led by Miranda.

The ring of winter is currently on the ring finger of Paultin's animated severed hand. Chris says that Paultin can use the ring even when it's on the hand.

Paultin tries to encourage the vegepygmies with bardic inspiration. One of them is wearing a boot on its head. This vegepygmy is named Celery.

Paultin casts invisibility on himself. The giant tries to stomp on him, and she rolls a 22 to hit. Paultin takes a lot of damage. Strix had cast death ward on him, so Paultin has 1 hit point.

Evelyn is not happy. She draws the Heart of Spinelli and flies at the giant. She kills it.

Miranda
The vegepygmies gather around, forming a circle around Evelyn. Their leader is Miranda, the druid. She has no shoes, a giant pack, is wearing one boot, long black hair, and is generally described as a cautious elven woman.

She's looking for her friends, one of which is a tiefling. One that doesn't smell like Strix.

The group examines an egg that they obtained a number of sessions ago. After some magical examinations, they realize that the egg contains the force of 10,000 magic missiles. It has a countdown timer. It's a bomb.

Paultin puts the ring of winter back on. Miranda is very concerned about the ring's potential to do evil.

Miranda says that she knows of a secret tunnel that can get the group into Ras Nsi's palace.

The group is wounded. They debate on which kind of rest to take (short or long). Diath wants to keep moving but Paultin needs a long rest. Miranda has healing spells, which thrills the crew.

The group decides to take a long rest. Miranda decides not to sleep in the waffle hut. She sleeps outside of it, guarded by the vegepygmies.

The next morning, there's a lot of mist. The group gets a bit paranoid/nostalgic about Barovia.

Something's approaches. It's the baby triceratops Strix got at the Acquisitions, Inc. show a few months back. Its name is Eighteen. It is still wearing some of the poop Strix put on it.

The triceratops was an adult, but was de-aged at one of the following Acquisitions, Inc shows. Waffles isn't thrilled with the attention that Eighteen is getting, and swats at it.

The triceratops gravitates toward Dragonbait. The animals like him because he frequently smells like ham.

Paultin uses his ring to create "Iceteen", a baby triceratops made of ice.

Simon keeps tripping a vegepygmy named Potato.

The Yuan Ti Temple
The tunnel brings the group to an underground river where there is a stone door and two boats.

Paultin wants to see if the hand can swim. He tosses it in. It does not, but the hand is able to get out of the water and rejoins Paultin.

The group discusses checking the door while Miranda magically makes sunflowers. Miranda sees that Evelyn loves it, so she makes more. Anna compares Evelyn's joy to having too many tabs open at one time.

The door has a poison needle trap, but Diath expertly evades it.

The room beyond is moist, and contains plants and spores. There's some zombies milling about. Miranda senses there's someone on the other side of the door ready to ambush the group.

Evelyn shows Miranda her flaming sword, the Heart of Spinelli. Evelyn reaches in and blindly stabs the assassin. She's showing off for Miranda.

It makes a hissing noise. It's a yuan-ti! The heroes question it. Paultin is the bad cop, and slaps the dude repeatedly.

This yuan-ti villain has a syringe full of a potent concoction. Miranda grabs it and injects it into the yuan ti. It dies!

The group looks through the room for anything of value. Strix opens a jug, which causes a poison cloud to spew forth. They survive.

Down one hall is a ramp leading up to a room with a gong.

The group goes to room 9, a massive temple with balconies, a pool of blood, and a big stone statue of Dendar, the evil snake god. Evelyn is not happy. She's not a fan of Dendar, not at all.

Miranda examines a glowing circle on a balcony. The group is down below. Suddenly, snakes rush into the room. 30 of them. They transform into yuan ti.

The disk flashes. Someone appears right in front of Miranda. It's Ras Nsi.

He tells Miranda to tell the group to surrender. End of session.
