The Behir and the Chain Breaker
17 April. Kvothe, Agatha, Ubo, Dravona, Sylvara, Caldris.
The fight
They fought the behir in its own cavern. Partway through, it turned invisible and withdrew into the tunnels, and did not come back.
With the beast gone rather than dead, the party searched the lair.
The hoard
| Item | What it turned out to be |
|---|---|
| An ornate warhammer | The Chain Breaker. It glowed brightest of everything in the room under Ubo's Detect Magic. Sharkskin-wrapped haft that never grows slick; the wielder feels a vibration like a heartbeat |
| A water canteen | Decanter of Endless Water |
| A necklace, green emerald | Dravona first read it as "something to do with poison"; a second identification confirmed it as a Periapt of Proof Against Poison |
| A polished yellow gemstone | Stone of Good Luck |
| Loose coin | Scattered across the floor; a handful each on the way out |
Agatha took the Chain Breaker and has carried it since.
The thing that killed the behir
Looking for somewhere to pitch the Tiny Hut, they came across the behir — dead.
They shot it from a distance to be sure. It did not move. It was genuinely dead.
It had big claw marks on it, and its neck had been snapped.
Nothing the party did killed that behir. Something else in those tunnels caught a wounded, invisible behir and broke its neck, and did it within a few hours, close by.
Dravona cast Void Maw and disposed of the corpse.
Everything requiring attunement was attuned, and the party took a long rest.
