Snake Guardian's Gifts, Then a TV Show Ambush

“The party recapped their escape from the hag Nanny Poo Poo and arrival at the ziggurat shrine atop Orlonga, where they finally sat down with the ancient serpent guardian Saja and Baza alongside the ice-cursed wanderer Artis Cimber. Saja and Baza revealed the saga of the disgraced paladin Rosni, now a Yuan-ti warlord ruling Omu, and handed out powerful charms to each party member including a Charm of Restoration, Charm of the Slayer, and Charm of Animal Conjuring, plus a valuable pearl. The party then trekked back through an abandoned Camp Vengeance toward Ambala, scavenging intel but declining to loot the camp's supplies out of respect. As they marched north, reality itself was hijacked by a bizarre fae game show host named Glitter Smack, who revealed the party's exploits have been broadcast as 'Gnarly Delve of the Week' and challenged them to descend into the Toxic Grotto for loot and glory. The session ended on a cliffhanger as Doc (now in a frog's body) pleaded his case to a skeptical live studio audience to prove his identity before the delve began.”
