Session 5: Black Hollow Market Tunnels and the Hollow Guardians

Session 5 is the party’s first foray into The Warrens beneath the Black Hollow Market in Umbrafall, following the shakedown artists of Maelis Dirn into a maze of fungus-choked tunnels ^[16][10]. Caelumn casts Produce Flame in a spore-filled cave and blows it up, downing himself, but the burned walls expose runes that lead to a hidden entrance ^{[49][209][11]}. The party destroys a regenerating fungal-zombie giant by killing the fungal nodes that keep it alive ^[26], fails to bluff two Hollow Guardians who ask “Thieves? Or servants of the hollow?” ^[210], and destroys them as well ^[31]. After a short rest they find five red vials and a scroll of Wither and Bloom in a hidden satchel ^[97][153], then fight three fungus-animated corpses in a sludge-pit cavern, where Vasquez is paralysed and bitten down before Harvo’s healer’s kit brings him back ^[34][35].

Session 5: Black Hollow Market Tunnels and the Hollow Guardians

Metadata

• In-game date: 843-03-19, one continuous stretch underground (dates approximate, pending the DM calendar). The only date spoken is the campaign year, 843, which Harvo names in Terry’s quiz ^[8].
• Locations visited: the tunnel beneath the Black Hollow Market ^[9]; The Warrens, “the bottom warrens” of Umbrafall ^[10], taking in a spore cave, a hidden fungal cavern, the Hollow Guardian corridor and a sludge-pit cavern ^[11][12][13].
• Major NPCs present: two Hollow Guardians (destroyed); Maelis Dirn is named but not met ^[14].
• Factions involved: The Hollow, whose “servants” the Guardians ask after ^[15]; Maelis Dirn’s operation, whose shakedown artists the party is tracking ^[16].
• Sessions referenced (callbacks): s3 (Cholmondeley’s death, the egg turning green), s4 (Harvo’s recap: Terry joining, Mirestrand, the Black Mask’s pact, the Broker’s contract on Maelis).

Recap heard at start of session

At Nick’s request, Harvo recapped session 4 ^[17]. He covered meeting Terry, “our newest turtle person” ^[18], the road towards Eldwythe by way of Mirestrand, the fight with the large cats, the masked Still Current Inn, the devil disguised as a dwarf who offered Hugo a deal, the attempt on Terry’s coin pouch, and The Broker’s contract on a woman with a pet giant called the Titan, ending with Hugo accepting the Black Mask’s barbed ring ^[19]. Hugo disputed Harvo’s tally of the cats ^[20]. Nick confirmed the recap and spelled out the target’s name, Maelis Dirn, for Harvo ^[21][22][14].

Executive Summary

The party followed the shakedown artists they had been tracking into the tunnel beneath the Black Hollow Market and the maze of The Warrens ^[16][10]. Caelumn, arriving late, cast Produce Flame in a cave full of spores and blew it up, downing himself and burning two companions; the blast cleared the fungus from a wall and exposed runes that led to a hidden entrance ^[23][24][11]. Beyond it a fungal-zombie giant, once a large human, regenerated through pulsing fungal nodes until the party destroyed them all ^[25][26][27]. Two Hollow Guardians then asked whether the party were thieves or servants of the Hollow; Caelumn’s Deception failed and they attacked, draining hit-point maximums until Terry and Hugo destroyed them ^{[28][29][30][31]}. After a short rest the party found a hidden satchel holding five red vials and a scroll of Wither and Bloom ^[32], then fought three fungus-animated corpses in a sludge-pit cavern, where Vasquez was paralysed and bitten down before Harvo’s healer’s kit brought him round ^[33][34][35].

Narrative

The session opened with out-of-character business: Harvo’s recap, then a quiz on the campaign that Terry had generated with an AI tool, which tested the table on Aurelia’s nullstone, Cholmondeley’s death and the egg ^[36][37][38]. Toby was running late, so Nick began without him: the party had tracked a band of shakedown artists to the entrance of an underground lair ^[16].

“As you kind of look, the tunnel beneath the market yawns wide, swallowing the last of the voices above. Spores drift like lazy snow.” — Nick (DM), ^[9]

Everyone but Terry had made the sneak, and Hugo blamed him for spoiling the planned ambush ^[39][40]. Caelumn arrived and voted to press on ^[41][42]. The passages were lit by bioluminescent algae and fungi ^[43]. Harvo cast Detect Magic as a ritual and was swamped: Nick described necrotic and nature magic on every side, fungi with magical properties of their own, and an area “soaked in a corrupted form of animation magic” ^[44]. Harvo pronounced the spell about useless, and Nick likened it to looking at something flying in front of the sun ^[45][46]. Vasquez took the lead ^[47].

Searching for tracks, Harvo took a puff of spores in the face; he made his Constitution save, but Nick warned that more exposure would probably do harm ^[48]. Caelumn’s answer was to cast Produce Flame ^[49]. The spores went up in a ball of fire: Caelumn, who got no save, took the full 28 fire damage and went down engulfed in flame, Terry and Harvo took half, and Hugo and Vasquez dodged the blast completely ^[50]. Terry revived him with a 2nd-level Cure Wounds for 22 ^[51] and, bending over him, noticed that the burned-away fungus had exposed runes on the wall that seemed to mark a path ^[24]. Vasquez held up two fingers at Caelumn: one more incident and he would get a very hard hit to the face ^[52]. Harvo followed the runes on an Intelligence check with advantage to a hidden entrance into a secret lair ^[53], and offered the group a rule of thumb: “Would an idiot do this thing? And if the answer is yes, you don’t do that thing.” ^[54]

The entrance opened onto a natural cave shored up with wooden pillars and a bulbous side cavern pulsing with dim violet light, its floor slick with slime, bone shards and half-sunk cart wheels ^[55]. Caelumn offered to clear it first with a Fire Bolt; Harvo pointed out that he would burn any evidence along with any threat, and Caelumn stood down ^[56]. Asked how far the earlier blast had reached, Nick put it at roughly 40 feet ^[57]. When Vasquez neared the centre of the cavern, the ground gave way and a giant humanoid “wrapped in tendrils and fungus” burst out of it, “some sort of ill experiment” ^[58].

The fight lasted about five rounds ^[59]. Caelumn swore off fire for the duration, which he said cost him most of his spells ^[60]. Hugo’s natural-20 longsword strike for 24 split the creature at the legs, but as it fell, vines sprouted from it into the ground and fungal nodes began to pulse ^[61]. Caelumn guessed that all three had to be destroyed at the same time ^[62]; when Hugo’s handaxes cut only one, the body regrew thicker and bulkier and rose again, roaring ^[63]. Terry’s Command, ordering it to flee, failed ^[64]. Vasquez opened its chest with his gunblade and spent his Action Surge shoving an alchemist’s fire into the cavity ^[65]. Caelumn’s 3rd-level Witch Bolt, cast with Innate Sorcery, hit for 25 and shattered the flask, scorching the creature and Vasquez and burning the last spores out of the area ^[66]; Vasquez’s 20 fire damage became 10 when Terry pointed out that the spore blast had dealt half damage to everyone but its centre ^[67]. The party then picked off the nodes one by one until Harvo destroyed the last, and the creature’s tendrils slid back into the ground as slime ^[68].

Caelumn’s Investigation found that the creature had been “a rather large human at some point”, intertwined with necrotic magic and the biogloom fungus of Umbrafall ^[27], and he feared there would be more experiments like it ^[69]. Harvo cut a sample of its flesh into a vial ^[70]. Hugo, still raging, urged everyone onward ^[71], and Caelumn healed Vasquez for 15 with his free daily Cure Wounds ^[72].

The only way on was a corridor where dozens of hollow eye sockets turned in unison to follow the party, ending at two figures that glowed from within ^[12].

“Speak. Who enters? Thieves? Or servants of the hollow?” — the Hollow Guardians (Nick, DM), ^[73]

Terry, who had not caught the question, introduced everyone by name ^[74]. Once Nick had repeated it, Caelumn declared them “servants of the hollow” ^[75]. His Deception failed even with his inspiration spent on it, and Nick called for initiative ^[28]; the first Guardian went straight for Caelumn “because he lied” ^[76].

The Guardians’ grip drained life: Caelumn took 10 necrotic damage and lost 10 maximum hit points, Vasquez 7 and 7, and their inner glow brightened as they fed ^[29][77]. Caelumn spent his last Innate Sorcery on a 3rd-level Chromatic Orb of thunder that leapt between them on matching dice, for 20 and 24 ^[78]. Terry’s 2nd-level Command then ordered both to flee, and they ran when they failed their saves on a 4 and an 11 ^[79]. Harvo’s ballista scored a natural 20 for 21 ^[80]. One Guardian circled back past a wall to fire a branch into Vasquez’s shoulder ^[81][82], and when Harvo’s ballista tore off a Guardian’s hand, it warned him: “You will not approach the Master.” ^[83] A Guardian’s natural 20 then dropped Vasquez for 21 slashing and necrotic damage; Nick at first thought the blow had killed him outright, until Dylan reminded him that the modifiers are not doubled ^[84][85]. Terry’s True Strike bolt crumbled one Guardian “to a pile of branches”, and Hugo’s reckless handaxe took the other’s head, at which the walls that had held the party back fell away ^[86]. Harvo’s healer’s kit and Battle Medic brought Vasquez round on 7 hit points, and his Cure Wounds added 14 more ^[87][88][89].

Nick called a fifteen-minute break, and on their return the party short-rested ^[90][91]. The rest did not restore the hit-point maximums the Guardians had drained; Nick said only Wish could do that ^[92]. Caelumn searched the Guardians’ remains and found nothing: “they are pieces of trees” ^[93]. Terry mused that he mostly made people run away and tried to make them feel good ^[94]. With both onward paths now open, Vasquez tossed a stick as his old teacher had taught him and followed where it pointed ^[95]. Caelumn spotted a collapsed side passage, and Vasquez, with Hugo’s help, cleared the rubble on an Athletics 17 to find a hidden satchel ^[96]. It held five vials of red liquid, one larger than the rest, and a spell scroll ^[97][98]. Harvo could not identify the vials: they might be a potion or “dyed water” ^[99]. Caelumn’s Arcana 15 named the scroll as Wither and Bloom, a 2nd-level spell available to him though not among his spells ^[100]. Harvo gave the large vial to Vasquez and a small one to everyone else ^[101], and Hugo decided to assume they were healing potions ^[102].

The path led into a humid, reeking, bowl-shaped cavern with two or three sludge pits bubbling with acid froth, narrow five-foot runnels between them and the wreck of a collapsed walkway, its walls sweating violet biogloom ^[103]. Terry, walking point, noticed corpses half submerged in the slime, and three of them jerked upright on cords of biogloom ^[104]. Their auras forced Constitution saves on anyone close ^[105]. Hugo’s natural-20 handaxe cut an arm off one that was clawing at Terry ^[106], and Caelumn caught all three in Burning Hands, though all three made the save and took only 3 each ^[107]. A failed save left Hugo poisoned ^[108]. Harvo spent his last spell slot on a fresh cannon ^[109], and Vasquez cut one zombie down with an opportunity attack ^[110] before another paralysed him ^[111]. Terry shot a second “in the heart” and it sank back into the sludge ^[112], but the last bit into the paralysed Vasquez’s throat with an automatic critical for 15 piercing and 13 necrotic, leaving him bleeding out ^[113]. Hugo’s handaxes took its head ^[114], and Harvo’s healer’s kit and Battle Medic patched Vasquez up for 16 ^[115].

Nick ended the session there ^[116]. Caelumn’s verdict: “I mean, that didn’t go too badly. I nearly killed us once” ^[117]. He apologised for arriving late and warned that he would miss the next session ^[118].

Dialogue Highlights

1. Terry, as Caelumn reaches for Produce Flame among the spores: “Of course you are. I wonder if they’re flammable!” ^[119]
2. Terry, as Caelumn lies burning: “he shows up late and he fucking bombs us” ^[120]
3. Terry, after healing the man who blew him up: “if we’re going to heal him, we might as well just get him back so we can carry on and forget this ever happened” ^[121]
4. Vasquez, holding up two fingers at Caelumn: “I didn’t do anything wrong first time was in the caves second time was just now you have one more before I give you one very hard hit to your face” ^[122]
5. Harvo, a rule for the party: “Would an idiot do this thing? And if the answer is yes, you don’t do that thing.” ^[54]
6. Harvo, after Detect Magic returns everything at once: “basically the tool for detect magic I have in mind is like some over one eye thingy like dragon ball style so basically i just go well this is about useless” ^[45]
7. Caelumn, swearing off fire: “I hope you realise that you’ve just turned off 90% of my whole spell list.” ^[60]
8. Hugo, after the giant falls: “Still being in my rage, and kind of hungry for that, I’m going to encourage the parties to keep moving.” ^[71]
9. The Hollow Guardians (Nick, DM), in unison: “Speak. Who enters? Thieves? Or servants of the hollow?” ^[73]
10. Caelumn, answering for everyone: “servants of the hollow servants of the hollow we are servants of the hollow” ^[123]
11. Caelumn, told to roll Deception: “Damn it. Why not persuasion?” ^[124]
12. Nick (DM), the first Guardian’s target: “It’s going to run up and it’s going to attack Caelumn because he lied.” ^[76]
13. A Hollow Guardian (Nick, DM), to Harvo: “You will not approach the Master.” ^[83]
14. Terry, on his own role in the party: “So far I just feel like I kind of sit here and make people run away sometimes.” ^[94]
15. Nick (DM), on the satchel’s red vials: “let’s just hope it’s not a off branch of alchemist fire” ^[125]
16. Caelumn, closing the session: “I mean, that didn’t go too badly. I nearly killed us once” ^[117]

NPCs

1. Hollow Guardians (new monster type, in-fiction): two figures about the party’s size that glow from within and speak in unison ^{[12][126][127]}. They asked whether the party were thieves or servants of the Hollow and attacked when Caelumn’s Deception failed ^[28]. Their grip deals necrotic damage and lowers the target’s hit-point maximum by the same amount, and they glow brighter as they feed ^[29][77]. They can phase through branches and fire them ^[128][82], and one spoke of a “Master” ^[83]. Their bodies are wood: they crumble to branches ^[30][129]. Status: both destroyed ^[30][31]. New this session: yes.
2. The fungal-zombie giant (unnamed, new monster type): a huge humanoid wrapped in tendrils and fungus that burst from the cavern floor ^[130][131]. It had been a large human, remade with biogloom and necrotic magic ^[27], and it regrew from its wounds while its fungal nodes lived ^[25][132]. Status: destroyed ^[26]. New this session: yes.
3. Fungal zombies (three, new monster type): corpses in the sludge pits, animated by the fungus they had absorbed ^[104][133], with auras that force Constitution saves, attacks that poison or paralyse on a failed save, and a bite that crits a paralysed target ^{[134][135][33][34]}. Status: all destroyed ^{[136][137][114]}. New this session: yes.
4. Maelis Dirn (off-screen reference): the Broker’s target; Nick spelled out her name for Harvo ^[22][14]. The party is tracking her shakedown artists ^[16]. Status: alive. New this session: no.
5. The Broker (off-screen reference): his contract on Maelis is recalled in Harvo’s recap, and Nick recalled his promise that killing her would spare the party Umbrafall’s taxes ^[138][139]. New this session: no.
6. The Black Mask (off-screen reference): recalled in Harvo’s recap and in Terry’s quiz, where Nick agreed the ring is what binds Hugo to the deal ^[138][140]. New this session: no.

Locations

1. Black Hollow Market (the tunnel beneath it): “the tunnel beneath the market yawns wide”, spores drift down, and runes “scratched, not carved” catch violet light and point deeper in ^[9].
2. The Warrens: “the bottom warrens” of Umbrafall, a maze ^[10]; natural caves with human modifications, held up by wooden pillars ^[141], lit by bioluminescent algae and fungi ^[43]. Detect Magic is useless here ^[142].
3. Spore cave (unnamed, first appears ^[143]): where the spores exploded ^[144]; the burned wall showed runes leading to a hidden entrance into a “secret lair” ^[24][11].
4. Fungal side cavern (unnamed, first appears ^[141]): a bulbous cave off the main spine, pulsing dim violet, with slime, bone shards and cart wheels underfoot and roots that pulse on the walls ^[145]; a giant crack in the middle, one open exit and a collapsed tunnel ^[146]. Site of the giant fight ^[147].
5. Hollow Guardian corridor (unnamed, first appears ^[12]): dozens of hollow eye sockets that follow the party ^[12]. The walls that blocked the way fell when the Guardians died, opening two paths ^[31][148]; a collapsed side passage hid the satchel ^[96].
6. Sludge-pit cavern (unnamed, first appears ^[13]): bowl-shaped and humid, with two or three acid-froth sludge pits, narrow five-foot runnels, a collapsed railing and walkway posts, violet biogloom on the walls ^[103] and knee-high slime ^[149]. The way on is its only exit ^[150].

Items & Loot

1. Five vials of red liquid (acquired, unidentified): from the hidden satchel, one larger than the other four ^[97]. Harvo’s identification failed ^[151], and Hugo assumes healing potions from the colour ^[152]. The large vial went to Vasquez, a small one to each of the others ^[101].
2. Spell scroll of Wither and Bloom (acquired, identified): 2nd level, named by Caelumn’s Arcana 15 ^[153][154], available to him though not among his spells ^[155]. Carried by Caelumn ^[156].
3. Sample of the giant’s flesh (acquired): Harvo, in a vial from his alchemist’s supplies ^[70].
4. Alchemist’s fire (expended): Vasquez’s flask, shoved into the giant’s chest and set off by Witch Bolt ^[157][158].
5. Harvo’s healer’s kit (used twice): each use with Battle Medic lets the patient spend a hit die ^[159][115]; it has ten uses ^[160].
6. Vasquez’s gunblade shells (spent, recovered): his last went into a node ^[161]; the short rest restored his cartridges ^[162].

No coin was found this session.

Clues & Foreshadowing

1. Experiments on people (DM description): the giant had been a large human, remade with biogloom and necrotic magic ^[27], and the sludge-pit corpses were animated by the fungus they had absorbed ^[133]. Caelumn expects more of the same ^[69]. Examined in session 6, the sludge-pit corpses proved to be mutated humans with injection ports ^[195]. The Broker’s contract named a giant called the Titan alongside Maelis ^[138].
2. A Hollow with servants and a Master (DM-voiced, unexplained): the Guardians sort intruders into thieves and servants of the Hollow ^[73], and one forbids Harvo to approach “the Master” ^[83].
3. Umbrafall’s magic is everywhere (DM-confirmed): the whole area is soaked in corrupted animation magic, and the fungi themselves are magical ^[196].
4. A hidden cache: someone hid red vials and a scroll of Wither and Bloom in a collapsed passage ^[32]; whose it was is not said.

Open Mysteries & Unanswered Questions

1. Who is experimenting on people in the Warrens? The giant was a human remade with biogloom and necrotic magic ^[27]. The party is on Maelis Dirn’s trail, but nothing this session ties the experiments to her.
2. What are the red vials? Possibly a potion, possibly “dyed water” ^[99]; only the colour suggests healing ^[152].
3. What is the Hollow, and who is the Guardians’ Master? ^[15][83]

Quests

1. [Status: active] Kill Maelis Dirn for The Broker: the party is in the Warrens on the trail of her shakedown artists ^[16]; the reward includes being spared Umbrafall’s taxes ^[139]. Maelis is not found this session.

Faction & Relationship Changes

• The Hollow: its Guardians took the party for liars and attacked ^[76].
• Vasquez and Caelumn: after the spore blast Vasquez gave Caelumn one strike left ^[122] and threatened to use him as a shield if he tried fire again ^[197].
• No dealings with the Broker or the Black Mask this session.

Table Rulings

1. Command (2024 rules): not a charm effect, needs no shared language and works on undead; Nick accepted Terry’s reading ^[198].
2. Critical hits: the table doubles the damage rolled rather than rolling extra dice ^[199], and modifiers are not doubled ^[185].
3. The Eldritch Cannon’s push is not optional: asked by Hugo and Terry, Harvo said the 5-foot push cannot be declined ^[200].
4. Short rests: nothing more than eating, drinking, reading or tending wounds ^[201]. A short rest does not restore maximum hit points drained by the Guardians; only Wish does ^[92].
5. No flanking at this table ^[202].
6. Hugo’s subclass, which Nick wrote, adds two damage per round of combat ^[203]; Hugo carries the bonus and his rage between fights, pausing until he next hits, and Nick let it stand ^[204].

Callbacks

• s3, Cholmondeley’s death: Terry’s quiz asked how Cholmondeley died in the dragon’s cave; Harvo and Hugo said a snake, and Nick said it was a yuan-ti, “not really a snake” ^[205].
• s3, the egg: asked what happened to the egg after the poison dragon, Harvo answered that it absorbed what it found and now glows green ^[206].
• s4, the Black Mask and the Broker: Harvo’s recap covered the pact and the contract on Maelis ^[138], and Terry’s quiz asked what the Black Mask offered Hugo ^[140].
• The Still Current Inn: its masks and murmurs, recalled in Harvo’s recap ^[138].

Meta notes

• Toby (Caelumn) arrived after play had begun, and apologised for it at the end ^{[16][41][207]}.
• Terry ran an AI-generated campaign quiz before play began ^[36].
• A fifteen-minute break came after the Hollow Guardian fight ^[90].
• Toby said he would miss the next session, and Dylan (Hugo) that he might ^[208].

Next Steps

• Press deeper into the Warrens after Maelis Dirn ^[16].
• Find out what the red vials are before relying on them ^[99].
• Recover the maximum hit points the Guardians drained, which a short rest will not restore ^[92].
• Keep the scroll of Wither and Bloom for when it is needed ^[153].
