Be me: Kin, Kitsune Summer; Arallas, Kin’s Eidolon
Be not me: Moon Song, Ponykind Rogue; Hiss’r, Drakeling Psion; Reshka, Wyvarian Cleric; Lethidicus “Lev”, Human Cavelier; Serica, Griffon(Lev’s Mount); DM
In town we find a trap… our Rogue is caught with the launched spears.
She exclaims about need for a healer in the party… cue Reshka.
She appears from an unexpected angle and offers to help.
In the process of talking with the new character we find Lev’s player has as firm a grasp of the concept of a figure of speech as Drax the Destroyer
The Wyvarian, Reshka casts their spell healing Moon.
With Moon healed we introduce ourselves and Kin explains what they’ve been up too… and thinking about it after stating it aloud adds “I swear we’re not evil, please believe we’re not evil.”
Reshka’s a divine caster and as such simply checks that with Detect Alignment.
With that taken care of we we set out after a night’s rest and it turns out Reshka has some great buffs! She casts a few spells with hours-long duration on our Rogue to keep her alive this time.
Continuing through the winding halls we bypass a few traps without hassle, in part due to the persistent buffs
We come up to a pedestal… Moon investigates and it seems like there is a mechanism here but it is jammed.
She unjams it and the sound of grinding and cracking emanates from around us as the machine breaks things…
She’s blasted with a wild-magic effect: At the next solstice she will either become a god or die.
When’s the next solstice?
Connection fuzzes out b/c technical issues on my part
when the signal comes back in Moon is struck by a trap!
It’s a Harm spell-trap… and is quickly countered by our new Cleric casting Heal.
Moving along the traps are slowing us down but doing little more… then we come to our first door of the session.
The door is jammed… Hiss’r casts Grease on the door… and trying harder Moon manages to get it open… only for Moon and the door to slide on in.
Moon manages to get off the door-sled before she slides too far off into danger and finds herself in the ruins of a castle…
The party follows her in beginning to look around…
We’re confronted by a number of large creatures… they look undead.
Those of us with Knowledge(Religion) roll… and Moon & Hiss’r roll well enough to ask questions.
We ask our questions and come to the conclusion that this is gonna hurt.
Initiative!
Moon, Kin, Hiss’r, Reshka, Hooded Figure, Wraith-Things, Lev
Moon takes aim with her bow and does no damage in spite of the hit.
Kin casts Wall of Stone to imprison the Hooded Figure.
Hiss’r buffs themself with maximum strength Inertial Armor.
Reshka buffs Moon with Greater Magic Weapon.
The Hooded Figure does things… he blasts out a side of the wall and walks out.
One of the wraiths runs up to Moon and grabs her!
A second one charges Lev aiming for Serika… Lev’s deft maneuvering allows him to divert the hit
Lev charges managing to catch an AoO but skewers the Wraith for great damage.
Moon’s turn! She pops out of the grapple with Jaunter’s Hop then nails one of the wraiths with a crit!
Kin moves to buff Moon with Greater Invisibility… and fizzles.
Hiss’r flies off the wall she was perched on and takes position for a psionic blast letting it off with Ice.
Reshka buffs herself with Greater Magic Weapon.
The Hooded Figure steps up to Hiss’r… slashing them with a fiery blade
Moon notices they’re healing
Moon is walloped for significant damage by the wraiths.
Lev issues a challenge to the Hooded Figure and unleashed a POWERFUL charge… which misses :(
Moon defeats one of the wraiths.
Kin succeeds in casting Greater Invisibility on Moon.
Arallas batters at it with his natural attacks.
Hiss’r tries to fade into the shadows and escape… succeeding allowing her to refocus from Cold to Sonic.
Reshka steps up and crit-hits the remaining Wraith with her hammer! BONK!
The hooded figure holds their action…
The Wraith goes to rip into Moon
The Hooded Figure blasts out flames afflicting the party.
Lev delays their turn.
Moon stops their bleeding.
Kin tries Hold Monster… and forgets that it can’t work on Undead
Hiss’r tries to blast him with Sonic… and fizzle, damn spell-resist.
Lev charged skewering the Hooded Figure with a powerful charging stab
Reshka casts Heal and carries it in to slap the Hooded Figure as we know it’s undead… rolling a nat1 wiffing the Touch-Attack.
The figure lets off another fire burst.
Moon moves into flanking and stabs the Hooded figure
Kin heals Arallas.
Hiss’r flubs an energy bolt.
Lev charges again… overrunning the Hooded Figure in addition to his lancing, slaying the creature!
Reshka heals Arallas tapping him with the Heal spell they’ve been holding from failing to slap the figure with it.
The undead haven’t dusted yet…
Hiss’r asks if anyone has Holy Water… no.
Maybe a Positive Pulse will do? Reshka tries…
It dusts the wraiths but not the Hooded Figure.
We resolve to let Reshka create Holy Water and just stab the figure periodically to prevent it from reawakening.
Holy Water does it, dusting the figure, and leaving it’s magic armor for Hiss’r to decipher.
Reshka realizes the armor is… malevolent and will resurrect the Figure so long as it continues to exist.
Reshka explains that it must be Disintegrated and Hiss’r has just the thing.
“I hate undead.” - Hiss’r
“Smol dragon fren, you heal with Negative Energy right?” - Reshka
“Your point?” - Hiss’r
“I can cast Inflict.” - Reshka
“I can heal on my own.” - Hiss’r
We rest for a few hours in the secure room before moving on.
