SESSION 178 – November 22, 2017
Rallion charges the SW stairs avoiding the blows of undying and slays one of the undying at the top. Several undying swarmed him. Rallion shouted, “Save the woman!” as he charged, and then in ancient dwarven, “Death to the false king!”
Nash held Chuq.
Prix changed to dragon form and attacked.
Sturloc shoots Chuq.
Edan casts Summon Earth Elemental from the scroll.
Bellisente is ripped to shreds and tossed over the rail.
Axel charges one of the undying Fire Giants, damaging it severely.
Kottar and Sturloc fire their lightning axes burning through charges quickly.
Rallion has unprecedented success in clearing the undying that approach him, they cannot touch him.
The Earth Elemental keeps one berserker and one undying busy until it is destroyed.
Prix breathes fire, clearing half the room of human undying and one beserker.
Axel has two fire giants on him. He sacrifices his shield, but goes down and before we can reach him, a human undying kills him.
Kalgun’s nanocarbon golem body is slain and he jumps into the body of the firegiant he slew, the one that felled Axel. Struloc grabs the circlet from the fallen Kalgun, but cannot climb the giant. Edan steps in and manages to place it on the new firegiant Kalgun. The healthier fire giant slays the new Kalgun, but Edan rips the cube from it’s skull, so we have Kalgun once again in a portable form.
Slowly, the press of undying is ended, Edan uses his memorized lightning bolt to drop many more undead and wound an undying firegiant. Prix ends the firegiant that dropped both Kalguns. Rallion holds the top of a set of stairs.
Finally, the last fire giant and last of the undying fall on the lower level.
Rallion ignores the last undying at the top of the stairs, and runs around and slays the held Chuq, by removing his head.
Via archery and lightning from Rallion, the three opponents nearest Rallion are slayed, Prix consumes one to the west, and the one by the stairs where Rallion fought alone, runs down to face Bavmorda and is soon slain.
As the party debates and discusses putting Axel and Bellisente and gear we can’t currently use through the portable portal, there is a rumbling.
An earthquake? The rumbling gets louder. Suddenly there is a loud crash from the north wall of the upper level behind Rallion. It is the long lost Finkelworm…..
Excellent summary, Follow Me, And Die! — even with the losses, I would say that the group’s unusual luck continued to hold out for one more week. This is worth 600XP more for Rallion.
