SESSION 42 – July 8, 2018

The battle continues…

We manage to deal with the goblins and wolves on the balcony passageway.

Batukhan got to the room the orcs feared, and saw a relatively fresh body (the friendly wizard with the ring?). Ignoring the body he opened the barred doors to the “control room” that is the source of the iron golems that appeared once a brazier was extinguished. Further, there were two groups of six stone bulls, each group of 6 controlled by a glass orb that is part of a pedastal. Batukhan touched the orb and directed the 1st group to attack. He then directed teh second group to go after the Seer.

Urman and Otiben went to the far end of the balcony hallway where Urman had tied a rope and climbed down to get closer. Urman got in position behind a massive pillar and was ready to do something, but the Seer moved in response to attacks by bulls, and took flight.

Otiben jumped on one of the bulls and was able to attack and wound the Seer. The seer rose higher and out of any melee range.

Those still on the balcony continued to deal with the wolves.

Once the wolves were dealt with, Puk and Ygtitte took up positions behind pillars to guard the nearest brazier. Archers dropped Ygritte. Zho Ni and Embrek went to the rope to climb down.

Urman charged into the middle of a group of Ogres and goblins that were the Seer’s honor guard. He blared away on the Horn of Fear, and most fled. This led to the Seer fleeing and yelling for her minions to continue their efforts to be “rewarded by The Enchantress.” Upon seeing her flee, in addition to so many of the other flee from the Horn of Fear, many failed their morale.

Urman was grappled by an ogre, but Otiben rescued him.

Urman used the Horn of Fear multiple times to further reduce the odds.

Zho Ni dispelled some sort of elemental that managed to drop one of the golems right before the elemental was dispelled.

Finally, between the remaining stone bulls, iron golem, and 10 orcs who can running when Gunnar went for help arrived and came down the rope and were able to help Zho Ni and Embrek and Otiben finish off the ogres on the brazier where the elemental had finished off the golem.

Batukhan rushed back and gave the stone bulls direction before they could attack the party.

All enemies were dead or fled. Urman looked at one of the braziers where its golem had been defeated, and the symbols indicate binding and protection, facing into the circle towards the colossus. The crumbled braziers faded. Perhaps they will be renewed and return to do their job.

The doors where the Ogres entered were shut and barred from the inside. the doors the goblins used to get up on the balcony where shut and barred. We are now keeping an eye out for the ogres and goblins that ran towards the caves of the orcs, and are gathering the items on the dead shamen. Urman will collect trophies from each, such as necklaces and rattles, and any other sign of their office. Any thing we can use to rest and heal, we will.

We will retrieve the wounded Ygtitte, and Urman’s bodyguards, all felled by arrows. Grik bled out, but was not to be trusted, as he was a true believer.

We will resume our quest with the aftermath of the battle.

SESSION 41 – July 1, 2018

We continue into the shrine/temple/binding area. We go down the stairs and look to see what is down here. We find a temple/shrine area and find healing potions, a mystery potion, and a magic battle axe.

While investigating this series of rooms, the ogres show up and use stone shape to block us from keeping them out of the giant room with the colossus.

We run up and around the stairs and Urman starts blasing with a fireball while the others pepper shaman with arrows. Groups of shaman and support troops of ogres surround each brazier and begin chanting.

Between the silence Zho Ni cast on one shaman, and a second fireball, Urman dropped one shaman.

We continued to press the attack and Urman dropped another shaman with a lightning bolt. A few ogre archers shot back and dropped one of Urman’s body guards. Batukhan was hit by several arrows.

Urman managed to get off his last lightning, severely wounding a shaman. The golbin warg riders came up behind us and we ran, but another henchman was dropped, the goblin Grik the still friendly to ogres was dropped, and Urman was badly wounded. Otiben dropped some of the goblins and the riderless wolves engaged Puk and Ygritte.

Urman ran for cover while gulping a healing potion, and Zho Ni healed him for more. Puk and Ygritte failed to drop their opponents. Otiben dropped the rest of the goblins, and Rip hit the wolf on Puk.

The shaman managed to disable the fires in two of the braziers revealing two protective golems. The shaman from those braziers went to the braziers where we had killed shaman, more goblins showed up in addition to the Seer with her entourage of more ogres.

Batukhan ran to the area where the orcs warned was something dangerous. He is hoping to lead it into the temple to fight the ogres…..

SESSION 40 – June 3, 2018

We continue through the cavern and find a series of old caves that are connected, and some with ancient improvements.

We find an opening and discover living orcs that appear to be regressed in arms and other things. They have some magic weapons.

They lead us towards the orc city and past a giant statue warded by many powerful and ancient magics.

Urman thinks that it is the Soul Forged Collossus, one of the Seven Primordial Spirits.

The orcs will not go further and fear it.

We prepare to sneak past it and hope to avoid drawing it’s attention.

It is an ancient weapon, and the ogres have come for it.

SESSION 39 April 29, 2018

We find a cave to keep the horses and party, the rhinos stay outside.

Otoben and Batukhan scount and find a cave to the west of the city that may be a likely place to enter past the “blue light”.

That night 3 strange creatures attempt to sneak attack us in the first cave we made camp, and cast darkness, but we overcome it with light. Zho Ni casts hold person and two fall to their deaths, and the other Otiben brings down. We do not speak its language. We keep it alive in case we can’t track it back to where it came from.

We track it the next day and find various underground passages and crevasses and drops. One large cave held the lair, and we took out 12 of them with no losses and minimal spell use.

We make it back to our camp in the cave as night falls.

We heal up and spend an uneventful night.

The next day, we move everyone and all the horses and rhinos to the cave Otiben and Batukhan found before the night these creatures attacked us.

We make ready to see if it leads into the city….
