Ep 14: A Giant Adventure Part 5

Summary
Our heroes are inside the Colossus. They find a lake of acid about 50 yards across with things floating in it and on the the other side they see 2 large tubes of glass with liquid flowing in them with a small platform in front of them. Dave summons Carl and sends him across to investigate the tubes and the platform. Dave tells Carl to randomly press some of the levers found on the platform. He presses all of them down and presses the now glowing button and a torrent of water flushes Carl away. Cla uses acrobatics to take a rope to the other end of the lake. Cla fails a strength check to pull the group over and the rope disappears into the lake. Bridgette tosses another rope and Cla successfully  pulls the group over. Everyone fails their investigation check on the levers. They push all the levers up, place a corpse of a dead animal they found in the acid lake on the platform and Bridgette throws a torch to hit the button. The liquid shoots up. They send Cla up alone and he sends a paper bird down with a message to the group letting them know to come up. The find a small, old, unconscious elf named Diogenes in the chamber along with an iron gate. 50 years prior a creature, a beholder, tossed Diogenes into the antechamber chamber and he has been trapped ever since. The Life Stone is in the controls which puts the Colossus on auto pilot. Bridgette remembers she was given a key that will open the iron gate.

The group plans how to deal with the beholder. Brigette readies Bane then Dave casts Charm Person and both are successful. The beholder eventually turns into a pile of goo. Dave shoots the goo with his blunderbuss. Snedrick pulls out he Wand of Seven Parts and the Life Stone attaches to the wand. Dave summons bread and gets nut bread (55).
