Introducing: Critical Role & Sagas of Sundry (Goblin Mode)
Summary
In this "Goblin Mode" episode of *Sagas of Sundry*, three surviving dungeon minions—a goblin artificer and two skeletons—must escape Unzug's lair after a party of adventurers wipes out their workforce. Trapped in a spiked pit, they improvise a bone ladder to descend into the spider cave, where they discover their friend Bloodweaver has been killed. The group rescues her baby, Loof, who becomes a magical companion, and begins plotting their escape from the desolate dungeon.
