Twenty-second Session – The party braves Bat Country to go to the Goblin Spires which turn out to be the entry point to the Temple of the Carnifex.
We find a nice little monastery (with carved trees like Aladzha Monastery, you should go visit it if you’re in eastern Bulgaria!) that distracts us with tales of a nearby goblin tribe living in a stone spire.
Unseen by all, a shadowy presence at the end of the table takes sudden, bloodthirsty interest. Gallfred Weasel is always eager to slaughter the goblin races.
So we go there; we thought it was a distraction from our search for the Temple of Carnifex but it turned out to be the antechamber to the place, and suddenly we are in DCC #79 Jewels of the Carnifex.
My favorite part was Hemp finding a starving shocker lizard that he adopts to nurse back to health. I name it “Zipzap.” Once that’s done (after we leave the dungeon, not this session):
Zipzap the shocker lizard

Rest of the session’s pretty self explanatory dungeoneering, read all about it in the summary!
