The group decides to use the concealed door and enters a long curving hallway that eventually deposits them in the corner of a large and well lit room. Therein lurks the deadly basilisk – not so deadly and a lot more dead after three of Barada’s arrows. It is around this time that things get weird – Ron’j! attacking Nil. NIl looking for a bit of string in his pouches – oblivious to the ouches being inflicted upon him. Then a fireball erupts and things get hot. Long story made short, the party has engaged a high-level mage in a place of his choosing. Before it is all over, Ron’j! pushes Barada into a pit and to his death before trying to pummel Nil to death. He would almost succeed had not Dalliance used her telekinesis ability to restrain him. It is Dalliance’s spell that also strikes the final blow upon the mage, after Demming in bear form gnaws through most of his spinal column.
Nil is restored to life and Barada is sought and found in a lower chamber that looks like a desert land and is populated by giant scorpions and man-scorpions alike. A lightning bolt and a few sword strikes later there are no occupants. Barada is found and restored to life. A few days later the party moves on to battle a gigantic gargoyle. Many magic missiles later the beast almost slays Nil again before being felled. the group pauses for a moment to gather their breath…
castles and crusades
Wicked. First high powered Mage we have ever put down. Of course he probably has a clone or something and all we have done is pissed off yet another dangerous enemy. Ooh well at least we got his stuff Muhaha.
