Recap to Current Situation

•  After slaughtering most of the Kobold camp, we are tipped off about the "Great Mother" that lives underground and is the being that induces the transformation into a Kobold. We head on down and converse with the Great Mother. We are able to determine that she has eaten the Obsidian Orb, but she is not going to let us leave. We managed to break out of the tunnels and made it back to The Archivist.

Session Notes

• The Archivist surmises that the Great Mother might be especially susceptible to fire due to her ruddy, brownish color. 
  
• We travel back to Lonte and head out to rendezvous with Anje.
• We meet him at the local pub and he introduces us to 9's, a small goblin that is a demolitions expert
• He is going to make a bowling-ball sized bomb and Erica is going to make a small fuze that fits into the bomb to remotely detonate the bomb
• Walter grinds up some glass into a powder while Nick infuses it with Thunder Wave and then incorporating that into the bomb, in an effort to make the orb more appealing
• We head back to the camp and see Ugri and Vokku
• Vokku is at the camp and is gesturing towards us as we approach
• She manages to hid from us
• However, Nick manages to talk to a local dandelion who disperses seeds in a direction after he asks it where Vokku went
• In the direction that the seeds are blowing, we find a small cave
• Nick does a cool jump down a cliff to the riverside and, despite looking super cool, still takes 8 damage
• We all head down the cave into the chamber before the Great Mother's chamber and have Anje and crew hang back here
• We continue on into the chamber with The Great Mother with the Obsidian bomb
• Walter presents the obsidian orb to The Great Mother, walking it closer to her
• He presents it to her and manages to convince her to eat it
• She tries to consume it, but it gets stuck in her jaw
• Meanwhile, Walter has backed away and rejoined the group
• At this point, Erica triggers the explosive...it fucks her shit up, dealing 72 damage

• BOOM! Initiative!

• The head was blown off of The Great Mother, leaving just an eyestalk thing and her moving body
• Also, our boys are rushing into the room to deal with the Kobolds
• After a long battle, that involved a lot of fire and gross, wet body parts, the Great Mother burned away and revealed the Obsidian Orb

• End fight

• Anje and the crew go about looting the horde of treasure from the room
• Erica puts the orb inside her bag of holding
• Beneath the Great Mother is a deformed halfling
• Upon seeing it, Jin hears his patron say "Weakness" within his head
• His patron compels Jin to snatch the bag of holding from Erica, but successfully is able to resist the urge to take the orb from the bag
• He suffers a penalty to his maximum health
• Erica ends up putting the bag of holding inside the tummy of her Bubo owl automaton
• Everybody is high-fiving and celebrating after the fight
• Walter and 9's share a bit of a moment afterwards
