A few hours’ trudging later, the party stood at the entrance to another cavern. This time, a strange stone monolith in the center of the cave bathed the area in a weird flickering light. As he explored the cavern, Chow was set upon by a huge undead bat. The party’s combined magical and martial forces forced the creature to shift to another plane, but not before it had summoned a pack of shadows to assail the group. The tree’s defense was a bit nastier this time, as it sucked all the air out the chamber, causing several party members to suffocate and fall unconscious. Ivan funneled the breathable air from the tunnel outside the chamber into the cavern, allowing his conscious comrades to rescue their fallen friends and exit to safety from the far side of the cave.
The party’s priests made quick work of the shadows and healed up the various wounds accrued in the fight, and the group continued on to the next chamber the demon tree placed before them. Suspicious of the large statue replicating the tree itself in miniature in the cave, the party decided to hole up in an extradimensional space at the top of a magical rope, with their various bags of holding and portable holes tied up outside the entrance to avoid any potential repercussions from bringing the extradimensional spaces in contact with each other. The tree attempted several times during the next few hours to force the bags into the refuge, but the group used a spare buckler and Archais’s immovable rod to secure the entrance, thereby allowing themselves a bit of rest.
