Spare — Session 03 (November 2, 2023)

Continued into Cauldron Cave — a complex of hotsprings where elderly frost giants once came to end their lives.
Followed the fishermen’s footprints inside.
Sarah fell through broken ice and was attacked by a water weird. Pulled her out, fought it, hurt it, and it fled.
Found an explorer’s pick and a mining pick.
Continued following the footprints.
Found a skeletal giant encased in ice. Fought it. Tamwyn died in the fight, taking the skeleton down with her.
Took a short rest. The bones were not the missing fisherman.
Next room: a hag stirring a cauldron containing the remains of the fisherman.
Tried to negotiate a way out. She knocked Spare unconscious, but the party won.
The hag offered a deal: spare her in exchange for the cauldron and the location of a chest of gold.
The party declined. Anthony killed her. They took the cauldron.
The cauldron is a Cauldron of Plenty: produces 120 meals, usable 3 times per day.
Received a grey Bag of Tricks as payment for returning the fisherman’s gear. Also received a reward.
Rested in a tavern. Returned to Bryn Shander the following day — uneventful journey.
Returned the Cauldron of Plenty to the church. Read in the two clerics to the secret.
The cauldron would have been worth a lot of money to the unscrupulous. It will feed many people, but keeping it puts the church in danger.
End of session.
