In the center of the quarry were stone statues, that to have been at once ogres that were caught out in the sunlight. Towards the rocks of the quarry, were three paths. One to the left, which was small and skinny and would have trouble for the slimmest of the party to get through, one in the middle, which looked normal, and one to the right, which was slightly smaller than the middle one but still able to go through.
The DM told Max to roll a will save once we were in the quarry. Since me and Rose, being High Elves, were immune to being charmed, we didn't. Max failed his will save and started to get charmed by the music that seemed to be coming from the middle tunnel.
Max was drawn to the large central tunnel. The DM narrated that the song was one that seemed to drift from ear to ear. The orc, charmed, started to, badly, sing along with the music and slowly stumbled towards the tunnel. Rose went in front of MAx and tried to stop him from moving towards the tunnel. Since being weak, she couldn't stop thee large orc from moving towards the tunnel. I decided to hit him on the back of the head to snap him out of the trance, I missed, and only grazed him.
Max continued forward, Rose barely not getting trampled by the orc as he made his way towards the cave entrance. But with a stroke of luck, and Max being so large, he smacked his head on a low part of the cave and snapped out of his trance. He shook his head and then stumbled back out of the cave.
Then we each went to decide which tunnel we should explore. Max ended up stumbling off towards the left cave since it was the only other one that he could fit in. Me and Rose were in a conversation, in game, about which one we should go down. Then we noticed that the orc is gone. We grone and Rose went off to find him. I stayed by the cave that Max was drawn to and waited for both of them to return. I, thinking that they might have been fae, called out in sylvan and offered the orc in exchanged for stuff. A few minutes later, and yelling at stupid orc, we went down the central cave.
We headed down the cave together. We had the Orc go down first, then I, and finally Rose in order to not have the squishys first. We traveled for a bit down the tunnel till the DM called for perception checks. Succeeding on all of them, he described in front of us was a shimmering wall. It seemed like the tunnel continued on but, there was a slight shimmering. I, not knowing it was dangerous or not, and seeing a possible chance to off the orc, for fun, tried to convince him to head through first. He eventually went through, with a mix of rolling of die and atual convincing outside of the game. He safely passed through the veil. Nothing seemed to change on the other side but other than we couldn't hear each other.
I, in character, slightly pissed, flipped him off. He didn't get it but started gesturing that he was safe. Then he threw an apple to show that it was safe. It nailed me straight in the head.
After a few moments of pissed off elf, we head through the veil and down the tunnel and into a large chamber. In the chamber were several pools and one large one in the center of the room. Inside were bodies of the missing settlers and local animals and monsters. It seemed that they were floating lazily inside the pools, calmly.
Entering investigator mode, we decided to investigate the large pool. Max, with a great idea, grabbed his rope and lassoed one of the settlers in the pool, with a wet slop, he pulled one out. It seems to have turned to gelatin slime.
Once max pulled out the body, the surrounding pools started to move and form gelatin bodies of animals, slowly approaching me and Rose.
