We eventually find the fountain, in the middle of a patch of dark grass, and the specter of St. Hessene.

Also in the room is a ghost boy, asking us to stay for a rest. I ignore him, but other members of the party harass him.

Tormyl and Thaurus rock-climbed across successfully. They reach us in the room.

It seems like we've respawned at a checkpoint, but I feel like there will be consequences for falling in the pit.

Chex came in after me, and Falkland slipped in while crawling across the walls.

I later find myself in a bed. I throw the cover off and see five other beds, and Chex and Falkland.

As I get dragged down, it gets darker and I hear screams echoing that only get louder.

I try to fly and teleport if something goes wrong. However, the tentacles pull me in.

Riesse makes a running jump, and teleports the last few feet, just making it across.

However, about halfway through, tentacles come out of the ground and pull him into the pit. I lose contact with him.

I send Satan across to secure the rope on the other side.

We plan to climb a rope across this 40 foot long pit, of which we cannot see the bottom.

Upon closer inspection, the walls are made of dark tentacles.

We eventually reach a pit in a dark, narrow hallway.

The ceiling up 15 feet has an inky darkness. This darkness seems to follow us through the maze.

This fountain was tainted by Barkesh?, the unforgivable.

We are to follow the spark of light at the end of the maze, and purify the shadowy fountain.

We are in a dark room, one which even I have trouble seeing in.

We eventually win. My Barlgura is unsummoned before it starts attacking people in the audience.

Chex took on the priest leader and did significant damage. Thaurus ran to their side and took on multiple enemies.

As for the others, Aere is not here. Tormyl spent most of his time unconscious. Riesse hid behind the bushes and sniped people.

Barlgura nearly mauls him to death, but I get knocked unconscious again. Luckily he ends up attacking other enemies.

I did get knocked out at least once. With my low hit points, I summon a Barlgura to kill the ranger.

On my first chance to attack, I cast Sickening Radiance. However, this hits someone in the audience and is immediately dispelled.

Tormyl was hit, and was later knocked unconscious by a Spike Growth which I avoided.

Symmetrical to our position stands six challengers. On the sides of the courtyard are audience members watching.

We are in a open courtyard. In the center are two rows of hedges, in between two tree trunks.
