Date in Campaign is: 38th of Grentle
Seeing the thing burrowing through the sand towards them, Ellalan casts Minor Illusion off to the north east, making a drumming noise to try to distract whatever it is. Yuesof and Sir Dawnstar see something sticking out of the sands to the north and head towards it, only to find it is some kind of driftwood like substance that is too small to stand on or hide behind. The bard starts shooting his light crossbow into the sand, hoping for a lucky hit and Thineli turns into a small sand running bird and runs to the south. Ellalan tries to move the drumming noise closer to the thing under the sand as it gets closer. It seems to ignore it and heads towards Yuesof and Sir Dawnstar, about 40 feet from them it bursts out of the sand, revealing a giantantic burrowing armored worm form and spits a spray of Sticky Resin at the two of them. The majority of it misses them and they quickly rips the shreds off of themselves before it hardens. As the glop of it dries it becomes looking like the driftwood object they had run towards. Ellalan tries to push the worm back using Fist of Unbroken Air but the worm is too big. Seeing an outcropping of rocks to the north Ellalan runs towards it and Yeusof follows after throwing javelins at the worm. Sir Dawnstar runs to the worm and starts hacking at it, doing a lot of damage. Thineli finds another outcropping of rock to the south and stays there. The bard keeps shooting his crossbow, hitting the worm. The Sandworm lashes out and bites Sir Dawnstar, almost biting him in half! The bard casts Dissonant Whispers, not realizing the worm has no ability to hear. While in the mouth of the worm Sir Dawnstar continues to hack at the worm before it bites him, leaving him near dead and swallows him. It then turns to head back into the sand.. Yuesof runs to the worm and slashes it, hitting it with his shield. Sir Dawnstar was chewed and swallowed by the sandworm, but Yuesof killed it before escaping with him to digest him. Yuesof cuts into the worm looking for his friend but can't find him till the worm poops him out as it dies. He is still is bad shape. Ellalan comes over to help and stabilizes him. Thineli runs over as a Roadrunner and heals Sir Dawnstar slightly and when he awakes Sir Dawnstar heals himself for all his lay on hands +30hp. As they recover on the rock they found along comes Hej Mallorca walking through the sands...That night they find a seeming safe place to camp and continue for the second day. That day is uneventful. On the third day as they look for a place to camp, they find a largish rock formation that seems to be inhabited by many goblins. Mallorca tries to parlay with them but fails badly and the rest of the party sneaking around puts them on edge. The goblins tell them to leave or die and the party chooses avoiding the Sand Goblin fortress to press on and find a place they can rest. They find a place that is under just the sand, with three inches of sand till you are on rock.. The watches are Sir Dawnstar and Ellalan/Thineli and Yuesof/Hej Mallora and Cyrus. Cyrus hears a hissing noise on his watch.. he wakes up Thineli.. Thineli looks around and see what looks like a tree limb digging into the water sacks...Thineli swings his flame blade at the tree limb thing.. missing.,. Cyrus squalks to wake up everyone... Everyone scrambles to save their water...As Yuesof, Sir Dawnstar, Hej Mallorca and Thineli attack and drive away the vine, Ellalan and Cyrus save what water they can... in the end they have lost 6 days of water.. leaving only 4 days...(started with two weeks (14days) of water). The next day (day 4) they find a small cactus like plant that they hoped would have water but as Sir Dawnstar tries to harvest it most of it goes into the sand. That night they make camp at a secure flat rock and set up watches, same as the night before.,. on first watch... Sir Dawnstar and Ellalan. sitting in their cold fireless camp, when 3 small lizards show up, trying to stay warm.. making a soft murmuring noise. "Let me love you, little lizard!" Ellalan loses her mind and tries to grab them.. failing and kicking Thineli awake.
Thineli casts animal friendship on the lizards, calling them claws, scales and tails. As the sun rises..Thineli and Yuesof on watch,..see a SandWorm cruise by, come at their rock and then head towards a smaller one, flushing out a lizard that is quickly hunted down and eaten... before heading back under the sand. Day 4 is uneventful and by the end of it they see something shining in the distance (water?).. They make camp as usual. During Yuesof and Thineli's watch a fast moving giant turtle with some packs on it's back and a driver passed by their camp but they were unable to attract his attention... They decide to follow the turtle tracks, hoping they will lead to water. At one point Cyrus found a small pouch with 15 goblin teeth. By the end of Day 5, they come to the edge of the desert and see a fort that looks like it is made of bone. There is a port with ships behind the fort.. and a small town.. everything is quiet. There was no noise and no movement. The guards in the fort are unmoving as they approach....
