In a slime-coated sewer chamber, Tovan in gargantuan toad form (blue-gray skin with subtle bark texture and faint fey glow) bulges grotesquely as something claws outward from inside his mouth. Zombie Mwingi’s claw rips free in exaggerated cartoon fashion.
The creature that wore Mwingi’s form has transformed into a twisted demonic shape with elongated limbs and cracked armor. It scuttles around a sewer bend, grinding sparks flying. Kiet the golden dragonborn lunges forward in an opportunity attack, sword trailing embers. Behind him: stunned toad-Tovan wobbling with cartoon stars around his head from paralysis.
Kiet stands rigid but visibly nauseated, green stink-lines swirling around his golden scales labeled “POISONED.” He tries to look heroic but is clearly suffering disadvantage. Tiny Haru presses glowing claws to Kiet’s arm, radiant energy cleansing the poison. Virgil and Sundr cover noses dramatically.
The Sphere of Annihilation floats midair — perfect black void devouring sewage as it passes. Sundr, radiant aasimar, stands glowing gold-white, arm extended in divine arcane command. Magical glyphs swirl around him, subtly forming the number “29.” Across from him, Adzinka gestures indignantly, arguing about ownership. The sphere slowly erases part of the sewer wall behind them.
Bathed in searing divine light, Tovan’s gargantuan toad form descends like a holy meteor into the sewer feeding chamber. Radiance explodes outward on impact, blasting ghouls off their feet as corrupted flesh recoils from the brilliance. Slime and sewer water erupt in a golden shockwave, undead forms disintegrating beneath the weight of moon-blessed fury. In the background, Kiet’s golden scales catch the reflected light, witnessing the moment a druid weaponizes gravity itself.
Cow carcasses scattered across a cavernous sewer chamber. Ghouls and ghasts hiss and crawl over bones. Tovan in giant toad form casts Moonbeam — a radiant silver column blasting undead.
A heavily armored shield-bearer corpse stands perfectly sliced in half, clearly cut by the sphere. Virgil strains as he lifts a garage-door style stone barrier upward. Tovan, Haru, Kiet, and Sundr stand ready, tense. Behind the rising wall: dark sewage tunnel.
A rushing sewage channel sweeps through a narrow tunnel. Haru, tiny platinum kobold, is being carried 20 feet downstream, glowing faintly while flailing. Kiet, braced against wall, reaches forward. Tovan mid-transformation, half-animal. Sundr illuminates the tunnel with radiant light. Virgil anchors himself with glaive.
Adzinka delivers a very corporate pitch mid-sewer, gesturing to the sphere as if presenting quarterly earnings. Behind her, the sphere carves a perfect 2-foot circular hole through thick stone.
A magical portcullis slams down behind the party, humming with blue arcane energy. The party stands trapped in narrow sewer corridor. Dripping water. Echoes of distant cows. Kiet’s golden scales reflect the arcane glow. The Sphere floats ominously beside Sundr.
Kiet, golden dragonborn, holds up his magical ring. His eye glows brightly as X-ray vision reveals a ghostly overlay through the wall. Translucent scene beyond: Crimson Rasp agent leading a terrified cow The same demonic entity that wore Mwingi’s form Another sealed grate 30 feet ahead Behind Kiet, the party watches in tense silence.
