[Tyrrox Zym]

Session 30, Friday January 21st 2011

We start the session with Tyrrox coming back to the group and we approach the door we realize we are waiting for the undead that are trapped behind the blade barrier. Tabitha, the guild agent that we rescued from the bone claws disables the blade barrier but fails to disarm the trap on the door and it goes off, as a glyph of warding. Leon just decides to melt the door to prevent the other traps from going off, but they still go off and the other two traps were a wyvern trap and another trap that targets Leon which spring.

As we enter the room Vanemuine moves and attacks one of the warriors hitting him hard. Tyrrox charges in and kills a warrior and gets attacked by several demon centaurs in return. One of the warriors tries to flank Vanemuine but gets attacked in opportunity in the process and gets killed in the process. Tabitha casts glitter dust and blinds two of the demon centaurs that attacked Tyrrox. The group manages to take out the warriors and Leon blasts the demon centaurs.

The group continues to beat on the demonic centaurs of which the blind ones seem to draw bows and shoot guided by some unknown source. Thallatos starts to have his horde swarm the demon centaurs. Tyrrox manages to take out two of the demonic centaurs via charges and one charge does 293 damage from a critical hit. Nym also casts Shield Other on Tyrrox.

The group finishes off the demonic centaurs and then is met with a group consisting of a fire giant type creature, man-bear-pig that stupefied Tyrrox previously and a retriever which turned Noj to stone previously. Tyrrox charges at the fire giant and man-bear-pig doing massive damage but Leon finishes all three of the creatures off.

We are then shot at by invisible Drow so we start to hunt around the room for them. Thallatos puts up a Wailing Wall to buy us some time to heal and what not. Thallatos starts to heal his undead minions.

The session ends there and the XP is 2,142.

Session 31, Saturday February 5th, 2011

Thallatos dismisses the wall of spirits so that the group can search the surrounding smaller rooms while Tyrrox guards the main entrance. Nym finds that one of the smaller rooms has a very powerful magical longbow while in one of the long narrow rooms Leon finds a couple dead bodies with an amulet and a staff. The staff has a strong illusion aura and the amulet has a strong abjuration aura. In the other small room Nym finds it to be the armory room with a magical suit of hide armor with a slightly less strong aura. In the other long narrow room Leon finds another couple of dead Drow bodies and bunk beds. There is also a rusty gauntlet that glows with a magical aura. As we finish searching, Vanemuine hears footsteps from behind the group. Solius, who is Tony’s character, starts to approach the room from behind with some of his allies.

It seems that Solius brought with him the red lotus group which is the group that is trying to kill Tyrrox. The group tries to convince Tyrrox that they could use the help, but Tyrrox is very hesitant to have them help him as they threatened to kill him. Thallatos has an umber hulk remove the stone wall blocking the entrance that he put there. Solius then goes to his friends and tells them about the bloodied lotus that was given to Tyrrox and their leader says that Tyrrox shouldn’t have gotten one of those, and Solius asks the leader to keep all differences aside.

With that Solius’ group enters the room and Thallatos proceeds to close the stone slab after they all enter. Thallatos directs the leader of the group to the next room. Toshira, the leader of the group that came with Solius, tells Tyrrox that the bloodied lotus was meant for Torgeth and it seems that Torgeth could be in the next room. Leo decides to use one of his last spells to cast mass enlarge person to make several Lotus mooks, Nym, and Tyrrox. With that we head into the next room with Tyrrox leading. As Tyrrox enters the room he notices the former female dancer that we killed and resurrected as a skeleton is strapped to the alter but as a person now; not a skeleton. Nym and Leon figure out that the alter is a tribute to Lolth, the Drow’s spider deity. The group decides to ignore the dancer for now and checks the four side rooms that are not leading to the main room. In Nym’s room he discovers it to be a single person’s bedroom and nothing out of the ordinary. Solius finds in his room that he searches to also be a bedroom for a single person. The top drawer of a night stand is loaded with cross bow bolts so Solius takes some. Solius also seems to find all sorts of clothing in a closet both for male and females. Vanemuine finds a bunch of knifes in his bedroom in another night stand. In the room Leon checks he finds yet another female bedroom which belongs to the female dancer that is currently tied to the alter. All rooms give an abjuration aura sense.

The group decides to wake up the belly dancer by healing her a little bit. She tells us that we are going to die and also tells us to run away now. At that a transmutation starts to take over her, so Leon starts to break her out of the chains and pull her off of the slab while Solius uses his acidic arrows, but at that something breaks out of her and quickly grows into something much larger that looks very bug like and she is quite dead from it.
When the creature’s turn comes up it manages to rip into Tyrrox and tears his armor off ruining it. Vanemuine manages to enfeeble the creature reducing its strength by 12 helping us greatly. Leon blasts the creature with an eldritch blast lighting it on fire. Thallatos manages to blast the creature with two negative levels. Tyrrox, in fit of rage, charges at the creature doing a significant amount of damage to the creature. Solius manages to strike the creature with a magical bow and takes down the creature. Thallatos then decides to raise the creature as his minion while Tyrrox destroys the alter in a fit rage as well as well as the belly dancer.

Leon and Tyrrox are able to successfully jimmy rig Tyrrox’s armor so that it is usable, but the armor will still need to be repaired asap. Tyrrox’s fly spell from Leon runs off, but the protection from evil remains for another 5 minutes.

As we enter the next room we see a single solitary dwarf standing there with a red cloak and his hands are resting on his war axe waiting for us. He unfolds his cloak and its actually red dragon wings. Behind him appears to be a female Drow wearing full plate as well as a huge Minotaur standing next to her.
The battle starts with Thallatos’ minions moving into the room to attack Torgeth. The red lotus allies train their fire on Torgeth while the undead minions and Tyrrox train fire on the Minotaur. Nym moves up and casts Bull’s Strength on Tyrrox. Vanemuine casts a Ray of Enfeeblement on the Minotaur critical hitting it doing 14 strength damage.

The group members are all taking damage as they enter the room to attack anyone in the room from an area of protection affect. The Minotaur continues to beat on Thallatos’ zombie wyverns. Tyrrox is able to take out Goristro with a couple charges. Tabitha casts haste on Solius during the middle of the battle as well. Thallatos manages to grapple Torgeth and Tyrrox charges Torgeth dealing a significant amount of damage. Thallatos gets smacked on the head for significant damage.

Everyone should be level 13 right? I think I forgot to add X.P. to mine and Nym's sheet because mine is still at the X.P. from the previous session and Nym's says 74,000 so he missed a session or two worth of X.P. but I'm not too sure.

[Velaryon]

Everyone should be at or at least near the cutoff.

Session 32
Saturday February 26th, 2011

The session starts with the group continuing to fight the remaining enemies in the room including the cleric and her minions.

The battle becomes very difficult as the female Drow priestess is extremely difficult to hit and hurt in both melee and by spells. Thallatos gets attacked by a spell thief, who aims to steal his spells and use them against us or perhaps attempt to steal Thallatos control of his undead.

Tyrrox attempts to charge the priestess but misses her and flies over her head and goes to the other end of the room. The drow priestess attempts to disintegrate Leon doing massive damage to him and almost kills him leaving him barely alive. As a result, Leon goes into his devil trigger and blasts the priestess with Hell Fire Acid, but he can't manage to hit the priestess.

Tyrrox tries his luck once more on a charge and manages to hit the priestess for a significant amount of damage. The priestess slumps over, but then she comes back to life and wakes up form her slumped state. Nym then breaks free from the tentacles that he is tangled up by and starts to move towards Tyrrox so that he can heal him.

The priestess then moves up to Tyrrox and bestows greater curse reducing his strength to 1, which results in Tyrrox retreating since he still is able to fly from his magic fly spell from Leon.

Thallatos moves into site of the priestess and dispels several magic enchantments on her reducing her significantly in power giving us a glimmer of hope in defeating her!!!

Eventually a dagger comes flying out of one of the side rooms at Tyrrox, but because his armor is heavy fortified he only takes minor damage. Leon then manages to grapple the priestess with chains from the ground and doing damage to her.

Tyrrox completely runs out of the room when his turn comes up and Tabitha casts a spell that creates an image that looks, sounds, and smells like a real black dragon, but Vanemuine thinks it is a real dragon while Thallatos knows it is just an image and not a real dragon.

Vanemuine runs up to one of the twins and grabs one of their swords and intends to use it on the priestess as his sword was taken in a critical miss by the priestess and thrown in the opposite corner of the room.

Thallatos takes another turn to cast another greater dispel on the priestess removing another ability on her, and then has his undead attack her.

One of the stealthed Drow attempts to attack the zombie wyvren and critically misses which causes his magical rapier to bend from the zombies unnaturally hard hide.

Leon blasts a final attack at the priestess and critically hits her doing massive damage and summons a blue dragon that is able to blast the priestess for more damage which manages to finish off the priestess in a grand wave of epicness.

Nym moves up and casts the heal spell on Leon healing him for 130 damage and his constitution damage. Tyrrox then proceeds to move back to Nym so that he can be resurrected once he is killed.

The group then hears an anguished scream coming from somewhere in the side rooms which results in Thallatos and Vanemuine to go investigate.

A character then tries to melee attack Leon, but in the process gets hit with a hellfire blast. The character then runs into a room after hiding and is followed by Leon, Solius, and Nym who heals Leon yet again. Tyrrox takes yet another negative level bringing the total up to 6 and moves next to Nym.

Solius, Tyrrox and Nym hear the earth shifting but cannot see anything. Leon, who is the one person that can likely do something about it, does not hear the shifting earth.

Leon tells the hidden man that we are willing to talk with him to make a deal, which the man has asked several times to do.

Nym is able to figure out that the spell restoration or heal will stop the negative level loss that is plaguing Tyrrox. Nym's first attempt at a heal check to remove the negative levels on Tyrrox but fails on the first check.

Leon and Solius continue to try and negotiate with the hidden man in the side room, and Vanemuine tries to check out another side room to find the source of the anguish scream that came from it, and in the back far corner is a female Drow with a crossbow pointed at Vanemuine and was being attacked by tentacles as well. The women says that she didn't really like the priestess anyway and is told that she will be let go if she drops her weapon.

Thallatos proceeds to raise Gorristro which was a huge demonic minotaur that we killed last session and is now a skeleton.

The invisible man finally appears and says he wants to be able to leave, but Leon isn't interested in mercy at this point.

Nym again fails at trying to heal Tyrrox and Tyrrox takes one more negative level bringing him to 8. Vanemuine continues to try to convince the female Drow to surrender so that she isn't killed, but she knows that Leon will want to kill her. There is also the problem that our contract we are bound by states that we have to eliminate the guild and that may mean killing every guild member or just disbanding it.

The Drow female lowers her crossbow for now and is certainly not happy about it. Vanemuine plans to take the woman as a prisoner by tying her up, but the woman tries to tumble by Vanemuine, but he catches her and starts to attempt to tie her up. The woman manages to slide by him though, and gets hit very hard by the pack lord and is knocked unconscious. The room itself is not very well decorated, but there is a circle drawn on the ground with runes on it.

Thallatos than tries to investigate the other side room and discovers it to be lavish and in a Persian attire. Thallatos then leaves the room and goes back to the other side to help Vanemuine.

Leon and Solius continue to talk with the man and agree to let him go if he pays us. He responds by offering everything that is in the safe and the password to open it and get by the trap. Tabitha tells the man that the group will take that offer and bluffs the man to believe it.

Vanemuine then starts to tie up the female Drow who is now unconscious, but fails horribly the first time.

Leon then tells the male that he will let him go if he leaves the Silver Shield Mercenaries alone, which is our group.

Nym fails the heal check again as does Tyrrox who says that he can't take much more of this.

The male agrees to leave the guild alone and Leon tells him that he will have to sign a contract and if he breaks any of it Leon gets the man's soul.

Vanemuine tries to tie up the female yet again and manages to succeed this time. Vanemuine then removes all of her weapons and items from her. Thallatos then leads her out and it is mentioned by Leon to turn her into the proper authorities in this capital, not in this town.

Leon then continues to demand the password from the male. Tyrrox falls from the negative levels and is then raised by Nym using Revivify; however, Tyrrox still has his strength at 1.

The male character slips away in the holes of the room and is then sent after by the female Drow that is forced to complete the mission that is setup by Thallatos.

As Thallatos leaves the room and enters the previous room he sees the result of the mook battle between Thallatos' undead and the mook thief guild members. The result is that Thallatos lost 4 human skeletons and one of the displacer beast is hurt very badly with minor damage to the other creatures, but all of the mooks have been dispatched. Thallatos notices the male guild member here though wrapped up in steel bands and standing next to him is a guy wearing Leo's cloths but it isn't Leo, it is the King of the land who was disguised as Leo, and he captured the male guild member.

The group is then very grateful that the king is here and is ok. The King tells Thallatos what the phrase is to enter the vault. The king also comments that Tyrrox does not look well and Tyrrox says that he doesn't feel good and if it wasn't for the fact he wasn't wearing his armor he wouldn't be standing at all.

The king offers a deal that we can have Castle Tethyr for the price of whatever is in the vault. Leon throws in the stipulation that the king needs to throw in the cost or caster to remove the greater curse on Tyrrox.

Tyrrox says that he is too beat up to focus on decision making, and just wants to get better, and the king agrees to get someone to heal Tyrrox.

Toshiro agrees to turn himself into the king's custody if we agree to take the other two out of the city, and the king agrees.

We then take all of the magic items and the furniture and take it all too the castle and hopefully get Tyrrox healed, thought it takes several trips and we don't get all the magic items identified until the next day after the battle ends, at least; at which time Nym casts Greater Restoration on Tyrrox to restor his negative levels, though his 1 strength still remains.

Session 33
Sunday November 27th, 2011

You can see the notes from John on what took place during the 7o-some day time span between the last session and this session on the realmsgame message board.

The session starts with the entire group finally reunited at our new castle, Heavenforth Manor after time apart from each other during the off sessions time skip. The session starts with Tyrrox practicing his charging with his lance and shield charging as well as shooting some gigantic ballista’s off the wall of the castle. Tyrrox sees a cloud of dust coming towards the castle along with some apes behind it. Tyrrox realizes that it’s Goroc and welcomes him to the manor and tells Leon that he is at the manor.

Leon then goes to tell Count Thallatos that Goroc is here and Thallatos became Goroc’s replacement after Goroc ran off. Goroc tells Thallatos his past in short and Thallatos tells Goroc that we can really use his create water and food spells and welcomes him to work here and live here wherever he can find space. Thallatos and Leon show Goroc where the water tower is and he meets Nym who is dropping water in the tower for the day.

We all decide to head to Calimport which is in Calimshan straight south of Heavenforth Manor through the Calimshan desert the next day to gather supplies for the castle. Thallatos and Leon alert all of the business and managerial people about us leaving, and Tyrrox alerts all of the guards and leaves his old masterworked weapons behind in the armory for anyone to use that could or wants to.
The group travels in siege crab and he pulls a siege wagon moving at about 70 feet a round so we make the trip in about 40ish hours because at some point we have to go off road at times. Goroc runs off ahead of up on his own, however, and visits Myratma to do some sight-seeing and possible purchasing. Goroc gets some strange looks but no one threatens him directly. Goroc also decides to do some gambling. Eventually Goroc leaves the town and runs to catch up with us in the evening of the first day. By the end of the first day we get into the town of Memmon which is relatively new to everyone in the group except Leon who was there in his back story, but the group decides to keep moving past the city and spend the night in the desert.

At the first night Leon takes the first watch by himself, and thinks he hears thunder in the distance and movement moving parallel to us and not at us. During the next watch Thallatos and Vanemuine join the watch with Leon and also see that the things moving in the distance are giant sand worms and the thunder is them moving along. The next day the crab caravan moves onward towards Calimport. During the travel Thallatos spots a giant worm cross our path so Thallatos stops to let it pass in front of us.

Thallatos then warns the party of what happened so the group goes on alert with Goroc walking in the air with Leon and Goroc’s apes on top of the carriage with Tyrrox. Vanemuine is on his flying carpet providing more air support for the party. Suddenly a giant tentacle comes out of the sand and tries to grab Goristro and pull him into the sand but fails to do so as Goristro resists. A battle starts and Thallatos’ undead start to fight off the tentacles as the tentacles attempt to drag them under the sand. Tyrrox attempts to shoot the ballista at one of the tentacles dragging an undead under the sand but fails to hit it. Goroc descends onto the carriage and calls his apes to him and gets ready to fight the tentacles.
Leon starts to blast the tentacle with his rays hitting them successfully. This is the first successful hit on the tentacle of the party. Tyrrox holds an action to charge any tentacle that appears in the sand. Eventually the creature appears out of the sand and we see that it is a SAND KRAKEN!!! Tyrrox attempts to charge it but doesn’t jump off of the carriage successfully and needs to wait a few seconds to regain himself to continue to charge the creature. Goroc attempts to burn the kraken with a fire spell that he has causing the kraken to start on fire. Tyrrox moves to reposition himself so that he can charge the kraken next turn as Thallatos’ undead were in the way of the charge. When Tyrrox’s next turn comes up he manages to charge the creature and kill it in one attack. Thallatos puts a stone block around the kraken so that he can come back later to try to raise it as one of his undead.
Thallatos manages to find his Marilith undead underground and heal it back to full. The group starts to suffer from heat after the battle so Goroc casts Endure Elements on us so that we stop suffering from heat stroke. After about another five hours we get to Calimport and out of the desert heat. Thallatos decides to leave his undead behind along with Siege Crab before entering the city while the rest of us go in.

Once in the city Vanemuine decides to gather information for us and Tyrrox goes with him just to make sure he is safe. Leon and Thallatos go into the city as well and buy the stuff we are looking for the castle. Thallatos is able to traverse the upper part of the city while the rest of us have to traverse the lower city. Leon and Thallatos find themselves at various shops and an auction and are able to buy the stuff they want. Leon tries to talk the shop keeper down on the price of the hippogryphs from 30Kish to about 20Kish, but the shop keeper is being very difficult and says that the hippogryphs have pedigrees and from Leon and Thallatos’ perspective it looks legit. Eventually they are able to talk the man down to 22K and he also provides slaves to ride the gryphons back to Heavenforth Manor.

Vanemuine, Goroc and Tyrrox attempt to gather information on a spell caster that can help us at the castle to find Thallatos’ girlfriend using discern location or the equivalent spell. We find out that there is a priestess of the lady of loss that should be able to help us. Because this priestess worships a deity that is the sworn enemy of Vanemuine’s deity we decide to look elsewhere. We then are able to find Bhaelros and he is a deity with lightning bolts as a symbol. Goroc finds out the this is also an evil deity and Vanemuine doesn’t really want to get help from someone who worships an evil deity so Vanemuine than decides to look for a wizard or sorcerer that can do the same task since clerics seem to all be evil around here. We are able to find out that there is a wizard in a tower that should be able to help us. We manage to find our way to the tower easily enough but getting back may be tougher considering the sheer number of people in the crowd.

As Goroc air walks to the castle with his apes he is approached by a man on a flying carpet. The man asks Goroc to land on the ground, but Goroc only descends and stays just above the crowd and Tyrrox and Vanemuine lose track of him as he flies off. Eventually we reach the tower after almost getting money stolen from us from a little boy. We walk around the tower and find that there is no obvious door. Goroc quickly air walks up the tower and lands on the balcony with Vanemuine on his carpet; Tyrrox stays outside. A mouth appears on the door and asks why we are there. We tell them what we want, and after paying a tribute the door opens and we are let into a completely dark room and the floor lowers us rather quickly to a lower part of the tower and a door opens that lets us into a laboratory like room with eyes staring at us. We tell the wizard we are looking for a scroll of discern location while Tyrrox gets his horseshoes polished outside the tower.
Back in the tower the wizard tells Vanemuine and Goroc that he won’t take money for the scroll but will write the scroll for us if we complete a quest for him. The quest is to kill a brown dragon and bring him the dragon’s claw but we get to keep the dragon’s treasure. The lair seems to be 100ish miles west in the desert under the sand. The group agrees and tries to leave the tower but the black wizard refuses to teleport Vanemuine and Goroc out so Goroc casts Bull Strength on himself and tries to cool aid man his way through the wall. Eventually the black wizard creates a door in the wall and lets Goroc leave the tower next to Tyrrox.

Back with Leon and Thallatos they are in another shop keeper’s store and are trying to buy the 5 field provision boxes and are stuck in quite the haggle war trying to lower the price of them down from the 10000 gold to 6000 gold which is still 3X their normal cost and then finally brings them down to 4000 gold as well as cursed sword that causes you to miss and always appears afterwards know what other sword you try to use; Leon and Thallatos agree to this and take off. At first Thallatos has trouble finding his body guards but eventually does find them and the group all heads back to the city gates and attempts to leave the city. As Leon flies off to find Tyrrox and Vanemuine he is harassed by Ali Ali Ali who keeps telling him to land because it is a no fly zone and eventually ray of frosts Leon. Leon demands to know Ali’s superior who is Abdullah Abdullah Abdullah and the session ends there.

I had a lot of fun this session and can't wait for the next one to fight the brown dragon!

Session 34
Saturday January 28th, 2012

The session starts with the group still in Calimport. We were ported out of the Wizard’s tower but we never got an exact location as to where this Brown dragon is located. The idea was to meet up at the front gate so Thallatos goes off to find his twin body guards while Leon continues to search for Goroc, Vanemuine and Tyrrox at the black tower of the wizard. After Leon refuses to stop flying after being hit with a ray of frost Ali Ali Ali shoots him with a magic missile so Leon then turns invisible. Ali then shoots a gust of wind in Leon’s general direction try to blow him down, but Leon passes the save and is pretty much unaffected. At that point Ali backs off and Leon continues to fly towards the tower and finds Tyrrox and Tyrrox, Vanemuine, and Goroc info dump all over Leon about what they found out in the black tower from the “Mighty Black Wizard.”
Leon knows that brown wizards are burrowing dragons that spit acid and live in the desert under the sand and are enemies of blue dragons and are intelligent like other dragons, but are unknown to talk to other people, even though they do talk and are made of force flesh.

The group decides to go gather information to find out more about where this brown dragon may be located. Most of us have heard of a creature attacking mounted travelers in the desert. Tyrrox is able to find a librarian that thinks she has a book in the library that talks about this brown dragon. Leon has heard of the library and knows where it is and knows it is connected to the library and it’s not really public, but luckily Leon graduated from there so he should be able to get us in.

Once at the university we start looking for Leon’s professor, but we find out that he is no longer at the university, so we all head to the library straight away and Leon isn’t able to bluff his way to borrow the book so we just go and look at the book and copy directions, and what not, to the dragon down. The first part of the book tells us about brown dragons in general and their location, and it seems that they are not normally known to live this far west of the planes of purple dust. The book mentions that the dragon we are looking for is named Marinoth, likes horse meat, and by the date of birth given it’s about 700-800 years old making it “very old”; there is also a roughly drawn map of a location giving roughly a 2 mile description as to where the dragon’s lair may be located.

We decide to go to the stables to try to find dead horses to animate, but they don’t have any dead so we decide to just buy three ponies and use them as bait to lure out the dragon. We also buy chartography tools to help us find the dragon’s lair. While traveling in the desert Goroc needs to cast about 13 endure element spells every day for everyone in the party. We attach the bottom of a boat to the carriage that Siege Crab is pulling to help it travel faster in the desert.

While traveling in the desert Leon and Thallatos notice people on horses watching us; likely bandits, but they are probably afraid to attack a giant crab. After a couple days of travel, the group recalls that it is now the Feast of the Moon holiday, which indicates the first of December/Nightal. Feast of the Moon is a celebration of ancestors and the dead; how awesome your ancestors were. By early of the next day, we are still traveling and Leon realizes that a genie war caused the desert in Calimshan, so the theory is that a genie war could be causing the draught in all of Tethyr. By this third day we start to reach where the dragon’s lair should b; related to that Leon recalls that around this location from 100s or 1000s of years ago was a huge city that the sand overtook. At that we see a huge sand golem walking towards the carriage at an angle whose feat meld into the sand.

As the battle starts Leon flies up into the air and blasts the golem. Thallatos has his minions move up to the golem and get into position to attack. As the golem attacks Thallatos’ undead his fists disperse when it hits the undead but instantly reforms with sand magically. Tyrrox moves up into position to charge next turn while Leon blasts the golem for a second time. Tyrrox gets a charge off at the golem and explodes it in a puff of smoke.

After the battle Thallatos heals up his undead and Leon casts prestidigitation on Tyrrox to clean the sand off of him. Leon has his hellhound Rezso do searching for scent or tracks of the dragon, but nothing is found. Tyrrox tries to search for aspects of this lost city and figures that maybe the dragon lives within the city. We spend the third day after the battle searching for the dragon and eventually we find a long dead carcass sticking out of the sand and Tyrrox and Goroc discover that the teeth marks are from the dragon from a few days. At this point we decide to let the ponies run around in hopes of attracting the dragon to eat them. Eventually we see something fly out of the sand, grab a pony, and dive back into the sand taking the pony with it. Thallatos then herbs the last two ponies into a group and puts them in a bowl of stone to prevent them from being eaten.

As we wait for Marinoth to re-surface we all ready actions and get prepared to fight. We spend a few turns waiting for the dragon to surface, and Thallatos tries to diplomacy the dragon into coming out and talk with us because we can both mutually benefit, and Marinoth appears on its next turn and blasts a line of acid at us and then tells us to speak our plea. Thallatos tells the dragon that he took it for a more reasonable being and then starts to have his undead lumber towards Marinoth. Leon then shoots hellfire at Marinoth while still flying up in the air. The twins prepare to fire the ballista on top of the carriage while Vanemuine and Tyrrox move close to the dragon preparing to charge and Vanemuine shoots a ray of enfeeblement at Marinoth that fails.

Marinoth creates a huge sandstorm around us blinding us and forcing us to flee the area effectively delaying our actions for a round or two. Once Tyrrox and several undead are out of the sandstorm they get blasted with a cone of acid dealing significant damage. Thallatos is able to dispel the sandstorm at least freeing up our vision and maneuverability on the battlefield. One Leon’s next turn he casts a spell that causes chains to appears out of siege crab’s carapace and attempt to grapple Marinoth, but fails to do so the first time. The twins tried to shoot the ballista, but they critically missed because the bolt wasn’t loaded correctly and it popped off and cracked one in the face causing her to fall off the carriage 20 feet to the ground.

Tyrrox charges Marinoth and deals significant damage, but Marinoth returns the favor by practically dropping Tyrrox in one round of attacks and attempts to swallow Tyrrox, but because Tyrrox has a ring of freedom of movement he slips out of Marinoth’s mouth. Thallatos moves his undead up and beat on Marinoth while he tries to dispel Marinoth once again, succeeding once more dispelling more of Marinoth’s special abilities. Leon tries to grapple and blast Marinoth and have Rezso blast, but all three attacks miss. Vanemuine slashes at Marinoth successfully cutting away more of its H.P. and Tyrrox charges Marinoth one last time as he runs out of melee combat in hopes of trying to get healed by Goroc. Marinoth turns invisible on its turn preventing most of us from seeing him even Leon. Thallatos discovers that Marinoth teleported away, so Leon has Rezso try to track Marinoth, and is able to follow where it came from, but not where it went because it disappeared. After that Goroc and Leon heal everyone back up to full. After Thallatos heals his undead back to full, he has his umber hulk do some burrowing to try and find anything. They do find a path under where the ponies were and leading away from the battle. One suggestion is to put Thallatos in the umber hulk, but first we had Leon teleport back to the city and buy bottles of air to survive in the umber hulk’s rib cage. This will allow Thallatos to find the location of the lair so that Leon can scrye on him and then teleport us into the lair.

Once at the shop Leon asks the shopkeeper what he has to teleport a large amount of people and the shopkeeper says he has multiple scrolls of regular teleport. Leon gets the scrolls he needs and teleports back and we put Thallatos in the umber hulk and they start to burrow while Thallatos uses the bottle of air. After 3 hours of digging around, we still don’t hear back from Thallatos and start to get a little nervous. At some point Rezso and the umber hulk stop and Thallatos peaks through a seam of umber hulk and sees a corner of a stone wall. Thallatos climbs out of the umber hulk and finds himself in the underground city with a crack in the ceiling and puts his undead in a portable hole and is just with Rezso at the moment. After searching the walls of the area he is in Thallatos sees artwork on the walls indicating religious ceremonies going on. Thallatos recognizes the art from a deity called Ibrandul who is now dead and an aspect of Shar and Shar is known as the dark goddess so this is a bad place. Thallatos then looks down a hallway while staying hidden and sees that it opens to an amphitheater with stone seats so he goes back to the main room and waits for 10 hours to pass.

Leon scryes on Thallatos, as he planned to after 10 hours pass, and he sees Thallatos sitting against a wall with Rezso lying down by him. With that Leon, Vanemuine and Tyrrox teleport to Thallatos’ location and the session ends there. As we land we take 2 points of damage from a bumpy landing and we appear in an area that looks similar to where Thallatos is but not exactly with him, but still within a mile.

Session 35
Sunday April 22nd, 2012

The session starts with Leon, Vanemuine, and Tyrrox in a different part of the temple because there seems to be some sort of spell that blocked our teleport into the temple. The temple is completely dark as it is a mile underground and entirely unused. Leon starts to whisper for Thallatos but Thallatos is too far away to hear him as well as Leon’s hellhound, Rezso. Leon and Tyrrox begin to look around at the temple and the cavern walls extend higher up than we can see and there is a constant trickle of sand coming down, also one wall is different than the rest being carved with symbols and is the wall that Leon saw when he scrye for Thallatos. Through investigating the wall Leon learns what Thallatos did last session regarding what this temple was and who it was dedicated to. Leon decides to start calling Shar the Great Whore. Shar is the sister to Selune, Vanemuine’s goddess and the two have been battling each other for longer than time has been recorded. Shar’s worshippers are very sneaky and even are known to setup fake cults to cause distractions and more confusion about their own deeds and worshipping. The dead god whose temple we are in was absorbed into Shar when he died.

After all this Leon sends the feeling of curiosity to his Rezso and while waiting, Thallatos suddenly sees Rezso’s ears perk up and look around. As a result the hound gets up and starts to walk away so Thallatos follows. As they are walking the hound sees another archway and thinks about going in, but decides not to. Leon starts to get more of a curiosity feeling as Rezso starts to wander around more looking for whatever gave him that feeling.

Back with Tyrrox he sees that the wall with writings and symbols curves, but Tyrrox decides to walk away from it and sees rocks and sand and no clear passageway. It appears that this is a large curving cavern with one of two ways to go. As Leon is investigating the wall, Tyrrox starts to walk around the cavern left to see what is further down the passageway; eventually Leon walks the opposite way right but turns around when he sees Tyrrox going away.

Vanemuine is a little confused at first because he didn’t see Tyrrox walk away, but sees Leon’s reaction to Tyrrox walking away following the outside wall. It appears that the inside wall with the symbols is a gigantic pillar/complex. Tyrrox eventually deduces that we are basically walking around a huge stadium and Tyrrox starts to look for a door or entrance on the inner wall. Eventually Tyrrox finds an archway leading into this complex and decides to slowly enter with Leon and Vanemuine following him. Tyrrox notices that the archway is large enough that the marinoth could fit through it.
As Rezso sniffs the ground he eventually picks up a scent and runs off ahead of Thallatos, but Thallatos grabs onto his Marilith who can keep up with Rezso. Tyrrox and Leon notice that this is a huge amphitheater and we seem to be on a giant ramp that once been a flight of stairs that were blasted by acid and turned into a ramp more suited for a marinoth. Tyrrox hears a squishing noise above me but doesn’t see anything. Leon lights a torch and Tyrrox throws it upward and Leon and Tyrrox see a black glistening thing and Tyrrox assumes it is an ooze, but isn’t sure.

At that time Leon’s hound Rezso comes running in and Thallatos runs by. Tyrrox goes after and gets Thallatos, but back in the amphitheater Leon sees a marinoth head staring at him, so cautiously Leon moves, but it moves parallel with him. Leon isn’t sure that it is a real marinoth so he tries to get Vanemuine to go investigate, but Vanemuine doesn’t seem very interested in doing so. Leon and Vanemuine see another marinoth poking its head in through the entrance archway. Tyrrox approaches the marinoth cautiously trying to talk to it. It doesn’t respond so Tyrrox walks up and pokes it and discovers it is an illusion. Back in the amphitheater Tyrrox sees another marinoth and approaches it by himself because the rest of the group are afraid, but as Tyrrox touches this new one he discovers it is also an illusion so the rest of the group advances. Tyrrox shouts that “we mean you no harm marinoth,” and continues to look around and sees a black ooze on the floor just behind the marinoth image and nearly steps in it.

At that point a battle starts with the black oozes. Tyrrox tries to stab the black ooze with his lance but the ooze starts to boil the lance so Tyrrox pulls it out and actually ends up causing the ooze to split into a second one. Vanemuine moves up and uses his doom scarab spell to try and see if that hurts the oozes. Leon moves up and shoots a cold blast at one of the oozes. It doesn’t split into a new ooze because cold and/or magic was used and ends up paralyzing the ooze which allows Rezso’s eldritch blast to finish the ooze off leaving one ooze left that tries to hit Tyrrox, but Tyrrox is able to dodge and then the ooze moves back. Vanemuine than shoots a scorching ray dealing decent damage to the ooze. Tyrrox then tells everyone to use cold magic so Leon once again uses his cold blast at one of the oozes, but not paralyzing this one. Rezso shoots another eldritch blast at the same ooze and Thallatos moves up towards an ooze, which in turn moves up towards Thallatos and attacks the Marilith but misses and hits the other ooze with a bludgeoning attack that actually hurts it. Vanemuine shoots another scorching ray at an ooze and Tyrrox warns Thallatos about using melee attacks. Leon shoots another cold blast at the same ooze and the ooze fails the save making it paralyzed and the Marilith tries to attack the ooze dealing some damage while not taking acid damage because that only applies to metal and wood.

Thallatos himself uses his spectral hand to cast regular harm which successfully kills the ooze. One of the oozes tried to slap Vanemuine but misses allowing Vanemuine to return fire with another scorching ray hitting with all three rays this time dealing significant damage and uses his song of salarity to cast a second one killing one ooze and leaving one left alive barely. Tyrrox manages to spot some metal off in the distance opposite the oozes but isn’t sure what it is, but hears metal scarping on the ground. Rezso is able to finish off the last remaining ooze and Tyrrox tells everyone about the scraping metallic sound he sees in the distance.
After warning everyone Vanemuine and Tyrrox hear low voice speaking in a language Tyrrox doesn’t understand and then the dragon Marinoth appears with his scales lit up. The metal Tyrrox saw is that the Marinoth is covered in plate armor. The Marinoth does still have battle scars and is but hasn’t fully recovered. The group talks to the Marinoth and tries to explain why we are down here and asks for a history of the Mighty Black Wizard. Supposedly the wizard needs the Marinoth’s blood and skin. In a previous battle the Marinoth escaped a battle with the wizard, but barely by tricking the wizard into thinking the Marinoth is dead and taking fake bones and skin. Now the wizard just wants this Marinoth dead purely out of revenge but the wizard can no longer leave his tower. So at this point it seems like a waste of time, but in a last effort Thallatos asks the Marinoth if he knows of a way to cast discern location for Thallatos’ girlfriend. Unfortunately the Marinoth doesn’t know of anyone or where the scroll can be found.

A new idea is presented to move the tower instead of attacking it so that we can get leverage over the wizard to get the scroll from him. Yet another idea that the Marinoth presents is to have us kill him and skin him and then resurrect him with the help of Nym and give the mighty black wizard the skin and get the scroll, but the issue is that the scroll may not be already made so we may need the wizard to create scroll.

So basically the idea is to have Leon and Tyrrox teleport back to Castle Tethyr and get Nym, Tyrrox will then go buy the gems for resurrection and run back to the castle and the three will teleport back to the sunken temple. We will then kill Marinoth, skin him, resurrect him, bring the skin to the wizard and get the scroll.
When teleporting back to the castle we see that Nym is extremely skinny from his deity telling all clerics that they need to fast as much as they can stand it. Once back at the carriage we kill the dragon by having Tyrrox charge it. We then skin the dragon and resurrect it, and start heading back to Calimport to give the wizard his hide. We also harvest most of the dead dragon’s organs and body parts, etc to get some money out of this whole mission. After a couple days we get to Calimport and sell all of the dragon parts. In total we are able to make 65,000 gold from everything. Tyrrox buys Gloves of the Balanced Hand to get improved two-weapon fighting feat and sells his current devastation gauntlets.

The group then heads to the black wizard’s tower and Thallatos creates a door at the base of the tower via the spell Pass Wall. The skin of the dragon is dragged into the tower. Once in the tower, Leon activates his ring of spell turning and a spell reflects back off of Leon and the tower shakes as a result and then a force cage drops on top of us. Leon tells the wizard remove the force cage so that we can finish this deal. The wizard materializes a couch nearby and asks us to put the skin on the couch, but Leon asks to see the scroll first and the wizard shows it, so Leon attempts to determine if it is in fact the correct scroll and determines that it does match the correct school and aura strength, but not sure exactly. We drop the hide off and take the scroll and leave promptly.

Leon and Thallatos teleport back to the Marinoth’s lair so that Thallatos can get the dragon pact and Tyrrox gives Leon a letter to give to the dragon that basically says that if the dragon ever needs anything or help to just let Tyrrox know.

Back on the road Thallatos realizes we need to go back to Darromar to get something that belongs to his girlfriend so that we can use the scroll of discern location. Once at Thallatos’ house we perform the spell and it tells us that his girlfriend is on the material plane in Faerun, the nation of Amn, the city of Esmeltaran in a building called Runhave’s Masks, within the bathroom.

Now knowing this we plan to head off to Amn, but we stop at Heavenforth Manor first to drop off the hippogryphs and employ the slave boys and one happens to be a 75 year old elf who is basically like a 12 year old human. Otherwise the training of the army by Solius is going good and Red has the forge and the barracks repaired successfully and the small hall is pretty much done. The massive hotel/guest room is next, where a wing will be for Tyrrox and other monstrous creatures. The hotel will be named Hotel Marinoth, named after the brown dragon we just encountered and our slogan is “Fit for a Dragon.”

We also have Red start to build an aqua duct system to move water around from the well to various part of the city for use.
We also debate about turning the center castle into a mage study hall where any spell casters can study their spells and their only payment is to help out with the grounds and defend it if need be. Leon sends a letter to Egbert asking if he would like to move to the castle to create a magical institution of learning. Leon also writes a letter to the royal family asking if they are cool with us doing this, and lastly he sends a letter to the leader of the silver shields asking if they would like to open an outpost at the castle.
After all of this we finally set off for Amn using siege crab and the carriage behind it. We get to Zazesspur in a couple hours and then hit the Starspire Mountains and begin to climb over them. Eventually we get to a point where we need to sleep and pretty much Tyrrox needs to sleep the most of 8 hours while the rest don’t need to sleep or only for 2 or 4 hours.

While on watch Leon saw light moving down the mountain path but eventually sees it get closer so he takes to the air and watches and waits. The creature that approaches seems to be some monster made of fire and Leon determines it is called a holocaust disciple and the four things walking around it are fire giants. Leon tries to communicate in Inferno but gets no response. Leon then tries common which seems to work and tried to find out if they are friend or foe, they in fact are not and fire a fire bolt at him so Leon returns fire and a battle breaks out. The disciple casts a spell or spell-like ability and becomes wreathed in a blue flame. One of the girls wakes up Thallatos and he also joins the battle. Leon continues fighting with the disciple up in the air about 60 feet while the fire giants close in on the rest of the camp. The disciple then moves up towards Leon and blasts him with a massive wave of fire that also hits siege crab causing the people in it to take some fire damage also. The screams from those in siege crab cause Tyrrox and Vanemuine who were still sleeping to finally wake up and join in on the battle.

Thallatos promptly moves siege crab out of the fire and moves his Marilith up to one of the giants and slashes at them doing significant damage after critical hitting it, while the rest of Thallatos’ undead take better positions. Vanemuine gets up and casts his Doom Scarab spell targeting the 4 fire giants doing decent damage. Leon than blasts the disciple again with a blast and moves higher up into the air and quicken blasts the disciple once more. Tyrrox takes his first turn by getting up and drawing his weapons. The disciple moves closer to the group past Leon and down to 30 feet in the air and blasts everyone with another flame wave and everyone pretty much takes full damage which is significant. Thallatos is able to hit one giant with negative energy and his Marilith dispatches one fire giant. The fire giants smack the Marilith quite hard dealing massive damage barely staying up.

Vanemuine moves up 5 feet and slashes the fire giant with his sword dealing massive damage with his various elements from his weapon with several attacks. Vanemuine also uses his belt of battle to get another full action and take 2 more attacks one of which critically hit. Tyrrox charges the negative energy hit giant and kills it with the charge. The disciple flies directly at Leon and shoots him with his infamous fire blast wave. Thallatos heals his Marilith via Harm and then has the Marilith take his multiple attacks at the giants killing the last two giants leaving only the disciple who is 70 feet up in the air. Vanemuine isn’t able to do much due to the disciple’s height and fire immunity. Leon shoots another hellfire blast at the disciple hitting him and doing lethal damage to him as the disciple crashes to the ground in a loud thud thus ending the battle and the session.

Session 36 - Without Noj
Saturday August 3rd, 2013

After 18 months of not playing we return for another session. The session starts when the group in the northern mountain range, Starspire mountains where we had just killed off a special fire elemental and six giants.

We are about halfway through the mountain pass at night through first watch so we still have two more watches. Upon finishing the fight we loot the giants and find on the giant's bodies:
6 large greatswords
6 large half-plate armor

When Tyrrox goes up the path the way the giant's came we find dumped behind rocks some large burlap sacks containing dead adventurer bodies with their gear on them still. Tyrrox takes out the bodies while Leon identifies that a robe, light flail, boots, gloves, belt, a scroll of some sort, and a golden globe with gems in it about the size of a baseball. We also find 10,200 gold between all of them, a silver chalice with gems, and a necklace of pearls.

While handling the dead bodies Tyrrox comes down with a disease from trying to bury the bodies, but since we are in a mountain range there is not much soil so we have Thallatos uses his ring of earth mastery to stone shape stone around the bodies as a makeshift tomb.

After all of that the group goes back to sleeping as its still in the middle of the night except for Tyrrox and Patrick who do the second watch. Patrick does incredibly well for being an ape and must be paying close attention. The watch goes uneventful so Venemuine and another one of Goroc's gorillas do the third watch which also goes uneventful.

The next day the group climbs into Siege Crab and moves at 120 feet a round to continue north through the mountain. Afterwards we have have yet another mountain range too go through called the Small Teeth. However, before we get to that second mountain range there is a town called Mosstone we will stop at. All of this is along "The Trade Way," a path that goes through the mountain range. Once at Mosstone we part Siege Crab outside and we walk into the town.

As a side note it is December, or the equivalent, but the heat is as if it were July.

Leon shares that this place is mostly a trading post between stopping points that gets a lot of caravans in the summer, which normally is not now. Close by is also a druid grove and most of us also see a massive oak tree just outside the city 10 or 12 stories high.

There are a lot of people out on the street for this time and time of year, though the unusual heat is inevitably the cause of that partly. Some of the people around look quite poor and down trotted. Our group draws a lot of attention due to 3 gorillas and a full plate centaur, though there are a lot of wild animals as pets here such as bears, cougars, etc.

Tyrrox says hi to random people and one 7 year old child calls Tyrrox a horsey-man and Tyrrox kindly corrects him and says he is a Centaur while kneeling down to avoid scaring him.

Leon manages to hear a couple people gossiping about us recognizing Tyrrox and Leon and calling out their name. Tyrrox asks someone where we can find a great place to get food and drink and in return gets asked for an autograph from the 11 year child. The child says that Oak Father's Boon is the nicest place to go to. Tyrrox gives the child 50 gold and he runs away ecstatic because that is a ton of gold even though food is extremely expensive right now due to the drought.

The Oak Father's Boon is booming with people everywhere tightly packed and a flier on the wall saying that Neil Diamond will be there in 10 days. Meals here are 8 gold a piece and rooms are 10 gold each. Tyrrox gets a couple meals and a room and attempts to talk to some people and dance after eating. Vanemuine starts talking with the gorillas mostly to keep them occupied so they do not destroy anything. Goroc is drinking two of the daily specials.

Leon goes to the bar and starts schmoozing with the people around him. One person 3-4 seats down looks vaguely familiar. She looks 30ish with red tipped hair that is brown otherwise. Leon can't place her but he knows he met her within the course of this campaign but she doesn't see me yet. The special today is the sickly wraith which is a drink that tastes horrible but is cheap. Leon does not want to have anything to do with that drink so he gets a drink called the Horrible Nightmare which is a drink that is on fire and they are using a heart stone to flavor the drink. The drink is average on the potency list.

Leon then goes up to this girl and asks where he knows her from. She remembers him, and once Leon gets closer he sees two weapons on her belt; long handled hammer and a longsword. At that Leon realizes that this is the pirate captain that we captured. She calls Leon a creep and tells him to buzz off at which he does.

Thallatos is just off on his own with his body guards being alone and being quiet.

Tyrrox, Vanemuine, and an MC Hammer-like character have a dance off in the bar and eventually Tyrrox wins though it was a good competition and was enjoyed by everyone. Afterwards Tyrrox dances with another female centaur in the bar/inn and whatever other females are interested. The dance with the female centaur goes well though Tyrrox does substantially better than the female but it was still a great dance. Tyrrox and Goroc continue to dance until last call.

Leon drinks 3 more Horrible Nightmares and approaches the female pirate who tells him to buzz off but he keeps drunkingly telling her to stay good and in the up and up. Leon continues to gloat over her but she doesn't react so Leon gets bored and walks away.

After last call Tyrrox gets a room while Goroc heads back to the druid grove since he came from there, but on the way there a fellow young druid from the grove recognizes Goroc who has a fish as an animal companion. Goroc asks Jerry when he is going to upgrade his companion from a fish to something a bit more formidable.

The druids have found out that they cannot make it rain in any part of political border of Tethyr, but can just outside of the Tethyr border with no problem. They have tried talking to other people of all races, classes, etc. and even other evil deities. Most druids are spending their spells to create water, food and higher ranking druids are trying to research a way to stop this drought in any way shape or form. People are scraping by but its definitely not good and Mosstone is very crowded with people.

The rest of the night goes uneventful and the next morning we find out from Goroc who found out from his druid enclave that people are disappearing in the forest. Hunters have been punished for over hunting, but this is different and are people from off the road or people that go too far from town and are never seen again. Some of the druids think its the Elves wanting to wage a war on people who are too anti-forest and anti-green.

When we come down from our rooms we are met by a bunch of people that want to meet us and treat us like celebrities for all of our great deeds and accomplishments. The group is glad to meet them and shake their hands and sign autographs, talk etc. Thallatos is mostly being left alone partly because of his social status and partly because he gives off a creepy vibe.

Goroc finds Tyrrox and tells him that he wants to know who might benefit from the draught the most, and also to investigate the people disappearing in the forests. Tyrrox agrees to do go with Goroc to investigate and see what we can do to figure things out and get these disappearances stopped.

Out of the corner of his eye Goroc sees a dwarf approaching the group and recognizes him. He is missing an eye and is the local smith around here. His nickname is Steel Eye and had that name before he lost an eye actually. Within the last year he became the mayor of the town. He asks us to do something about the disappearances. Thallatos does not want to stop because he is in a hurry to go find his girlfriend. Leon is willing to split the group and let Goroc and Tyrrox go off on their own but thinks they will need his help. Regardless Thallatos asks Tyrrox if him and Goroc will be ok on their own and Tyrrox says that he knows how much finding his girlfriend means to him and is ok if he, and Leon go on ahead while Tyrrox, Goroc, and Vanemuine figure out these disappearances.

The mayor/blacksmith then introduces Rynstag who is the last survivor to witness these disappearances. Rynstag is a human with brown hair and big hair in his early 30s. Rynstag has a big bow and padded armor. Rynstag knows that the last disappearance was over night and the wagons were smashed and the people were gone by the morning.

We are also joined by another adventurer, Yugimoto, that wants to join up with us to try and stop the disappearances in the forest played by Justin.

At that we head off into the woods. Rynstag leads us to the location of the wrecked wagons. At the wagons Tyrrox looks around to see what caused the damage. Tyrrox sees wild life scamper off and blunt force bludgeoned its way into the wagons, but something big. Tyrrox also find a boot and the top of it is bloody and a foot falls out of it. There are a few food crates that look like they were broken open and raided and Yugimoto finds a crossbow that he takes to use if need be.

Rynstag and Goroc look for tracks and manage to find them and they look like something big and bulky looked like it dragged its way through but no discernible shape. Also see some leaves or vines that are on the path but not from around here. The track/drag path from the creature goes further into the woods. This creature whatever it is, is big, drops leaves, and is not trying to hide its tracks. Rynstag deduces that this thing is basically a large carnivorous plant that moves around, eats people, and keeps moving on.

We follow the path of destruction from this creature to wherever its at now. The forest is fairly dense but still big enough for us to get through without a problem. The creature has about 10 hours on us but we think we move faster than it so that should help us close some distance. We continue to track at double speed. Eventually we have to start making constitution checks to avoid being fatigued. All but Tyrrox have to do this and Yugimoto is the first to get fatigued as well as two of Goroc's gorillas; Avery and William. As we get further in the brush and shrubbery starts to get much denser and more difficult for everyone to keep up at double speed.

Goroc starts to think he is closing in on the creature very quickly and also see a patch of blood from a severed deer head. Yugimoto and William start to lose sight of the group due to being fatigued and falling behind earlier. Rynstag sees that they are too far behind and says that we should slow down so we slow down to our normal speed.

Once Yugimoto and the apes catch up to us Goroc thinks we are only 2 hours behind the creature if we continue to move at double speed. By moving at double speed again a couple people get winded again and start to fall behind yet again. Since Rynstag is the only one with track up front with Tyrrox and Vanemuine he tracks again but finds nothing of too importance.

At this point Rynstag and Goroc hear singing which is worrisome because it will attract the attention of this creature, so we tried to catch up to them before the creature can kill them. The singing seems to always be ahead of us because when it falls behind us it pops up again in front almost following us and it seems to be singing in Sylvan saying unsettling lyrics.

After one more tracking roll Goroc thinks that these tracks look fresh and that we are really close to the creature. A couple group members actually see in the distant a very large mound of vegetable leaves and greenery and is by far the biggest one of these creatures Rynstag has ever seen which means it has eaten a lot; a whole lot.

Before the battle starts some group members hear a spell being casted in the distance and then Rynstag starts to attack the plant monster hitting it five times in the back. The group continues to beat on the plant monster until its able to move up to us at which point a summoned T-Rex appears that was summoned by whatever was singing. Whatever summoned the T-Rex casted another spell that caused everyone except Tyrrox to be shaken. The group continues to beat on the T-Rex and the plant monster while those that are free try to find the spell caster that summoned the T-Rex and caused the shaken affect and stop her.

Tyrrox gets a good charge in on the plant monster while Goroc is unable to break through the thick plant-hide, but Goroc's apes were able to seriously hurt the T-Rex. Yugimoto charges up to the T-Rex and stabs it four times with his spear and deals enough damage to take it down and once it hits the ground it disappears and goes back to its plane.

Angry at the attack on it the plant creature the creature returns an attack with its tendrils, one hits and one misses and tries to grapple Tyrrox but fails to do so because of Tyrrox's ring of freedom of movement. Because of Vanemuine's strength sap the creature misses Tyrrox.

The spell caster casts a spell on Tyrrox and makes him prance uncontrollably away from the plant monster who attacks Tyrrox with a tendril attach of opportunity. Tyrrox and Rynstag both notice an elf with a wooden staff prancing exactly as Tyrrox is suggesting that Tyrrox is mimicking the elf. Rynstag uses tree stride to move from a tree by him to a tree close to the elf spell caster and shout at him to stop his concentration. Rynstag notices that for an elf he is extremely tall, about 6'5" tall and very bright green eyes.

Tyrrox spends a few rounds unable to act because he is being pulled around by the elf's spell like a puppet. The group continues beating on the plant monster but Vanemuine notices that the wounds that have been done to it have seemed to have healed. The plant creature attacks Vanemuine and is able to grapple him and put him in his mouth and start biting/eating him.

The elf looks at Rynstag and says hi and tries to cast a spell on him saying "Run Boy Run,"and it causes Rynstag to run in fear frightened and he runs towards Tyrrox who also is singing "Run Boy Run!"

Vanemuine gets swallowed by the plant monster and makes his fortitude save so he isn't start to take massive acid damage, he just starts to go a bit numb. Vanemuine contemplates how he can get out of this and decides to try a doom scarab spell and the scarab's chew a hole through the plant monster so that Vanemuine can climb his way out of the monster, who is very badly hurt now, to safety.

Tyrrox is still controlled by the elf and bumps into a tree and sees the elf fold his arms and nod at him and Tyrrox repeats it. Goroc manages to down the plant monster but it needs to be coup de grace through lethal bludgeoning or acid damage which is done by Vanemuine who notices that despite the plant is not moving the hole that the scarab's chewed through is starting to heal. Vanemuine hacks at the plant with his different elementals three times because he coup de grace the plant monster.

Yugimoto charges up to the elf to try and take him down and does a lot of damage to him but does not look as badly hurt as one would expect him to be after taking that much damage.

The elf attacks Yugimoto through Tyrrox who deals 160 damage to Yugimoto in one turn dropping him to 0 H.P. Rynstag jumps on top of the currently moveless plant monster and shoots the elf and misses once and hits twice dealing fairly significant damage. Rynstag and notice that the elf is not as he appears and is possibly a disguise self affect.

Goroc sends Patrick over to the elf to try and grapple him but fails and gets hit by Tyrrox with the lance. Goroc then moves over and tries to hit the elf with his club but misses. The elf cartwheels to a tree, pulling a scroll out as he does so. Tyrrox tries to cartwheel and falls over immediately because of his shape, size, and weight. While on the ground Tyrrox is attempting to read a scroll that he isn't holding.

Rynstag baleful polymorphs the plant monster into a squirrel which kills it because it is at -77 hit points. The elf goes into a tree and runs away. Goroc searches and spots around but does not see any more immediate threat. After 30 seconds Tyrrox regains control of his body and apologizes to Yugimoto for almost killing him. Rynstag comes over and tells everyone that the elf was not an elf and might have been a fey creature based on his education and knowledge skills.

After this, the group heads back to the druid grove and informs them that whatever that elf was is probably partially or maybe solely responsible for the people disappearing in the woods though they undoubtedly were being eaten by the plant monster. So perhaps by killing it we stopped the disappearances.

Within the plant monsters gullet there was:
70 coins
sapphire eye patch
+1 composite longbow

This part of the session ends after we get back to the city/druid enclave, however, on the way back we occasionally hear singing keeping pace with us in the same voice as the elf at the fight but he is just mocking us and never appears.

Session #37: With only Alex and Noj
Tuesday August 6th 2013

The session begins with Leon and Thallatos talking about the rest of the party and their new mission. Leon states that he was told he was not needed for that endeavor. Thallatos is naturally itching to continue straight on the quest that everyone had set out on. The two come to an agreement to teleport quickly to the city from here to speed things up since a smaller group is easier to transport in this manner. Thallatos talks to the part-time mayor, Steel-Eye about not disturbing his “mode of conveyance” or the two female bodyguards that come with it. The mayor agrees and they go their separate ways.

Leon and Thallatos choose alias names ahead of time of Drag Seagram and Wold Brown respectively. Thallatos disguises them (leon as commander riker and thallatos as magus). Leon mentions that Elysa may not have gone into her seclusion unwillingly and Thallatos refuses to entertain the possibility. The two teleport to the city of Esmeltaran in Amn. After nearly being run over by a carriage from appearing in the middle of a road a few hundred feet from where a prior spell had revealed Elysa's location to Leon, the two begin gathering information on the place called Runhave's Masks. They find that there are good prices there and that the place caters to foreigners. Also, the staff wears masks which goes along with the name.

For magic item information, they are told to find the Eye Tyrant tavern. There are local off-duty guards and bouncers. They don't like tourists here. One seemingly off duty cop tells them to go in turn to the Tavern called Days of Elent (reffering to the civil war in Tethyr) later that night and look for a man named Grimm.

Meanwhile, an excursion is made to a local generic magic item shop. Run by the clerk Fizzlebert. The items being sought were for making food or water but don't seem to be in stock. Though, they could commission the items to be made or have them sent to the shop from eslewhere, the two opt out of these options. They then decide to have dinner at Runhave's Masks to scope the place out and come up with a plan.

Thallatos has Polar Bear flank steak with Quarren on the cob and a side of Shocker lizard on a stick. Leon has Catoblepas meat, though no one figures out how to pronounce it quite right. They decide not to get drunk; Leon due to it being genie juice (bad history) and Thallatos to keep his wits about him to find Elysa if possible. Thinking he spots Elysa, Leon goes to the bathroom to turn invisible in a stall and then proceeds to stalk her flying and invisible to try to confirm his suspicions. She introduces herself as Alice to her patrons. Leon detects no deceptions so he goes back to the table from the bathroom again. Leon decides to go back to the bathroom again after the two fail to find mre leads. Thallatos has cake.

Leon goes to the kitchen and backrooms. He finds that there is a lower level which is kept dark. He uses his darkvision to find a keg with dust on it which opens to a secret stairway much like with the eyes of night in Myratma. It goes extremely far down in a spiral staircase. Finally, he gets to the bottom to find a “welcome to the underdark” sign. There are multiple tunnels which converge into one path all lined with stones. Leon makes a noise to illicit a reaction hoping to use the echo of the stone tunnel. A small humanoid pops out from a hiding place and starts running further down the tunnel. Leon follows the gnome-thing. It gets winded after a couple of minutes and yells in Leons direction in a language Leon does not understand. The warlock then goes back to the restaurant. He finds the door leading back into the cellar closed and opens it to find a masked server. He makes ghost noises and the server flee's. Leon then follows the server.

Thallatos hears screaming and goes to the kitchen and see's “Alice” in another room. He goes to her instead of the kitchen and starts sizing her up and telling her he is looking for someone just like her.

Leon see's the commotion in the kitchen and see's a man with a cane come out of an office trying to calm everyone down. Leon goes into his office, but as he does the man immediately goes to the office as well. The man mutters “you think you can sneak up on me, eh?”. Leon does try to leave quickly and as he does freezes in place.

Thallatos cannot get Alice to admit she is Elysa even if she looks and sounds just like her. He reluctantly goes back to his table.

Leon realizes the spell stopping him is a hold person one and struggles to get out of the spell. The man calmly lets him out of the spell and tells Leon he can tell him what he needs. Leon feels like the two of them are best friends and tells him the quest they are on. The man pays for his meal and sends him back off to the dinning room.

On his way back to his table, Thallatos casts dispel on Alice since he doesn't buy her story. After a couple of extremely great attempts, there is no change in her. Leon comes back being clearly not himself. He is extraordinarily friendly to everyone he meets now. This puts Thallatos very much ill at ease and due to Leons new condition, the necromancer decides further action would not be advised that night. Leon pays the bill at his request and they decide to get a room for the night. Thallatos uses every dispel available to him but cannot break the spell on his friend.

They meet Grimm back at the Days of Elent and sicuss buying a field provision box. The place is decorated with treasures of Tethyr's past and Leon is tempted to take something back to help prove Elena's bloodline. Grimm says that meeting an associate of his in this place the next night would get what they want. Also, Grimm mentions that Runhave's masks is unofficially infamous for occurances like Leons. Grimm notices Thallatos's fake wig but plays it cool.

The two hero's head to the Goldensans Retreat for the night for the room they had purchased earlier. Leon does not immediately want to go to sleep due to a ring of sustenance. He buys several ronds of drinks for everyone in the inn and Thallatos makes sure nothing too bad happens while evaluating any other possible option to stop what his friend has become. Luckily nothing too catastrophic happens and the two go to sleep for two hours since they both have the same ring and therefore the same requirements. Leon communicates with Helena about baby names an the two cannot seem to agree on a name for any gender just yet.

After waking, Leon tells Thallatos the entire story of his adventure in the basement and kitchen from his altered perception. They stay together until about 10am and Leon becomes himself again and extremely angry about the scenario.

They decide to go to Fizzleberts shop to identify some items to pass some of the hours before nightfall. Leon decides getting Thallatos a dispeling cord is a good investment at this point and does so. Thallatos is now disguised as Setzler and Leon as Locke. The two go back to Runhave's Masks and get a table near “Alice”'s section. Leon gets Polar bear flank steak and Thallatos the Bar-b-q Wyvern ribs. Leon starts scanning the room for magic aura's. The hostess has a couple items on her. Their waitress has a fair enchantment aura on her. One other waitress has the same aura on her. They leave and discuss these results. Leon suspects the hostess has armor incareasing items and a hidden blade of necromancy. They leave Thallatos's minion Mephistan to see if the waitress's ever leave and when if they do. He is told not to be too bold in case people can see through invisibility here.

The two go see Grimms contact with the prior nights disguises being put on less than amazingly. They meet an off duty cop with the field provision box and obtain it clandestinely. After this the pair goes back again to Runhave's Masks but outside the building at night. They meet up with Mephistan and he says there is an upstairs to the building the servers go to and no servers leave the building. They then decide to have Thallatos open the stene wall by the office of the man in charge that enchanted Leon. The plan is to either pounce on him and kill him as fast as possible. This is due to Leon feeling taken advantage of and Thallatos suspecting the man to be the mastermind behind Elysas predicament. If the first option fails, they have Thallatos hide while Leon sits in the mans chair and then pounce anyway.

So about thirty minutes after the establishment closes for the night. Leon, Thallatos, and the Maralith (from thallatos's portable hole) stand on one side of the stone wall. The necromancer opens a hole in the wall with a ring of elemental command. Leon flys in first seeing the man talking to the hostess. The warlock wraps the man in fiery chains. The man teleports away moments later before Thallatos runs in to find him gone yelling for him. Leon chains the hostess. Thallatos stone-skins. The woman does not struggle saying 'I will tell you nothing”. Leon dispels the chains, Thallatos has the maralith take the woman in a grapple and the minion and he go outside the room. Leon quickly searches the office finding a spellbook. He touches it quickly and nothing happens as he suspects might. Thallatos makes an entrance into the wall of the floor above ground level intent on finding 'Alice'.

Upstairs Thallatos starts encountering women scared of him and his creature. He asks each where Alice is. They say she went to lay low since scary people were around. He asks if she wasn't there where would she be. They don't know.

Leon downstairs opens a treasure chest by force and takes the mans things. Leon leaves a ransom note to meet in a crowded main street. Thallatos keeps talking to servers. Leon meets up again with his friend.

The two melt walls up into the master bedroom to find it has recently and hastily been packed up. The two are... angry.

Searaching the master bedroom they find a jewlry chest with vials of presumably poison. The woman says “try them and find out”. The two opt out. She is stuffed into the porable hole with the bottle of air from the desert adventure. They leave and dispel all the stone shaping.

They go to the Veiled Vampiress inn to rest and prepare for their next encounter. After two hours of sleep, they start looking through confiscated drawers of papers from the office back at Runhave's Masksstored now in Leons haversack. A seemingly innocuous letter from the mans mother seems to have more secret writing after a dispel. The letter says to keep “her” safe and that she is special and does not know who she is, also that there would be great compensation. The seal on the letter is a varient of the church of Waukeen; goddess of cash and transactions. The bottom of the seal says “1BA”. The meaning is lost on both adventurers. A bill of sale is fond that Leon reads through his invocation power. It is a bill of sale for people. The sale sounds like it is to a drow name. They practice disguising Leon as the man if the need arises to seize his assets or otherwise impersonate him.

The third days disguises are Leon as Nobunaga and Thallatos as Mitsuhide. They go back to the magic shop. Fizzlebert has scrolls of teleport, dimensional anchor, discern location, and greater scrying availabe. These are just what Leon is looking for. Given a choice on whether to scry now and move in or to wait for the meeting later for the ransom, Thallatos grows increasingly impatient and asks to have it done now.

Leons greater scrying attempt fails as 'Alice' manages to block him. The discern location attempt cannot fail and reveals she is in the city and in the inn Shazzelims retreat room 212. After seeing this, they both leave immediately at four thirty am.

They go to the inn and find it made of somewhat stone. They get a room on the second floor. The two enter the room swat-style; Thallatos rusting grasps the lock of the door and Leon enters scroll in hand to dimensional anchor the caster. There is no one but her in the room and she is in the bed asleep. Leon closes the door and goes invisible to give Thallatos a shot at talking her into leaving with them willingly. The door nob on the inner part of the door hits the ground waking her up as Thallatos takes his mask off his face as quickly as possible. She is startled but not panicking. The two former couple talk but he cannot seem to make her understand what truth he is trying to say. Leon is asked to step in to display their evidence of bills of sale and contracts. She says that anyone could have made those and she is technically right.

The two hero's question her more deeply about how long she can remember back and she says no more than 7 months which matches up very well with when Thallatos lost Elysa to begin with. She also finds it odd that she could be missing out on so much of her past, but holds that what she does remember has been pleasant. She ultimately agrees to come to the magic shop when it opens to try and find a more appropriate spell than dispel to try and change her state of mind. It is found that she is wearing a cloak of illusion and a third crystal eye. Both of these items are extremely effective in foiling divination. She reveals she was told to never take the eye off of her. The item has an extremely powerful aura.

The three all go to the magic shop first thing in the morning. All the best high level spell scrolls are not in stock but there is an analyze dweomer scroll that Leon realizes would be helpful to diagnose what is on Alice. Leon gets the scroll and finds charm person is stuck on her for some reason and will not go away. Leon even tries a break enchantment spell dropping considerable money. The break enchantment finally takes the charm person effect off her but does not bring her memory back. She realizes this and makes sure to bundle up in anti-scrying gear. Leon buys another scroll of break enchantment for the woman in the bag for later. Elysa or “Alice” agrees to teleport back to Mosstone with the two men.
The session ends...

Thanks again for taking notes, guys. I haven't been able to get my summaries written up yet, but I will when I get a chance, and for that these are extremely valuable.

[Velaryon]

I notice there's no XP total listed in either of the session summaries from August. Did I not give you guys XP?

After all this time I honestly don't remember. It looks like I'm at 96,680 which is 8,320 from level 15. It looks like Session 35 gave us 2800 experience and session 34 was 4725 experience so it looks like session 36 was about our 2nd or 3rd session at level 14? Really not sure if any of that information helps determining if we got X.P. though.

[Thallatos]

You def did not give it up. At least during our half you were exhausted by the end and said you would do it later.

[Velaryon]

Alright, I'll try and figure out a good amount.

In the meantime, what does everyone's XP total look like?

Session 37 - Saturday April 4th, 2015

After 20 months we meet again for the next session. The session starts with Tyrrox, Goroc, and Vanemuineback in Mosstone after defeating the tendril monsters and the fey that got away. We head to the mayor of the town to discuss with him what we found and did. We approach the mayor's house who is also a blacksmith so we find him working on his trade. We describe the fey creature as well as the tendril monster to the mayor and tell him that he got away. We then go to the local inn we went to last time.


Back with Leon and Thallatos they are heading out of Amn, which is rather cold since its currently December, so they teleport out of Amn to Mosstone back in Tethyr where the weather is hot as the middle of July. Leon claims that he already needs a drink and inside Leon and Thallatos meet up with Tyrrox and Goroc and Vanemuine. Tyrrox notices that "Alice" seems cautious and distant from Thallatos due to the fact she still has enchantments on her and a wish spell will likely be needed to restore her memory. We decide to go visit the druids of Mosstone to take care of a mysterious lady in a bag that Thallatos has that he does not get into when Tyrrox asks.

At the druid grove the arch-druid is occupied but we are greeted by a familiar face, Nym who is the arch-druid's secretary and he does not like it because he cannot do druid work. Leon then explains that we have a guest that needs help breaking an enchantment spell but the druids are not able to cast break enchantment so Leon decides to use a scroll he has but we ask for a private grove to do this in so as to not cause a rukus.

Thallatos pulls the female sex slave out of the bag who had a Marrilith holding her with an air bottle keeping her alive. The female didn't want to be taken peacefully but she is under powerful compulsion magic making her do things she doesn't want to do or so we think. Thallatos tries to reason with her, but she tries to convince Nym that we are horrible people and did horrible things to her and is able to pretty convingly do so. Leon pulls out his scroll and attempts to cast it to break the spell on this woman. Leon is able to successfully cast the spell from the scroll and the enchantment spell is broken. The lady introduces herself as Lady Noh and she wants to try and get revenge on the man that did this to her. Turns out that there is a middle man that delivered Lady Noh to The Enchanter/restaurant's proprieter. On a side note, it seems that people were also sold to the Drow and there could be a connection to The Enchanter. Some details on The Enchanter that Lady Noh gives is that she is very adept in magic but he is unable to cast illusions and necromany magic. He is very focused and his mental powers are extremely powerful and unlike any she has ever seen before. Noh also gives us a list of possible magic items he would probably have.

Leon gives her mask back to Noh which helps her lie better and Leon then tells Noh that we can teleport her back to Amn and she deals with it on her own, or she comes back to Heavenforth Manor with us. Noh will only have one shot at taking care of him because she isn't able to resist her magic, but she is going to take Leon's teleportation offer up to head back to Amn. Leon also gives her poisons back to her and Thallatos disguises her so that she wont be as recognizable. Leon also lets her borrow his ring of spell turning and Thallatos will cast Gaea's Quest on he which will force her to bring the spell turning ring back to Heavenforth Manor after she completes her mission. Noh will also bring The Enchanter's head back as proof. Thallatos makes Noh look like a male elf with his massive disguise check.

John rolls out the encounter with Noh and the Enchanter on the side and it turns out that the Enchanter survived the death attack and passed the save, but still takes secondary con damage. He then tries to dominate her, but the ring of spell turning reflected it back to her and he dominated himself under her control as a result which is awesome.

Back at the Druid grove we ask if Nym wants to come with us and he wants to, however, he has to get permission from the arch-druid of the grove Arkanius Silvermane. We arrange for a meeting with Arkanius who was once very powerful but the status of Tethyr has aged him and stressed him out greatly. He looks like your typical long grey haired beard druid and looks like the old man he is now. We ask Arkanius to sign Nym over to us because we have great need for a druid in Heavenforth Manor. We also tell Arkanius of the fey creature and its tendriculous that we took down. Arkanius tells us that he will release Nym to us if we help remove the fey creature that is running amuck around Mosstone.

Leon states that we have more important things to do and suggests having Vanemuine, Goroc, and the two NPCs taking care of the fey while we continue on to go back to that bronze dragon to ask him about finding a wish spell for Alice and helping Tethyr, but Alice says she wants us to help get rid of the fey and that her memories can wait. Alice and Nym decide to come with us to take down this fey and as it turns out they are both well suited to taking this thing down.

Thallatos and Alice decide to head back to siege crab and the twins that are south of Mosstone. Leon and Tyrrox head back to Mosstone and wait for Thallatos to return. Once he is back with the siege crab we all head off into the forest to find the fey but Tyrroz leaves word with the mayor of Mosstone that we are heading off to take down the fey once and for all. As we are heading out Leon asks the more charismatic party members to start singing the song as the twins play a lute they have to try and lure the fey out.

Leon is quite sure that the first 4 hours of travel there is nothing around us and because siege crab doesn't tire as a skeleton we can double move without issue. Leon shoots a cold eldritch blasts at the inside siege crab to cool the inside from the heat outside. Upon reaching the battlefield there is no sight of the fey just the dead tendriculous squirrel corpse. Tyrrox identifies all the prints on the ground for Alice so that she can help track which were the fey and where he went after the battle. The fey prints seem to often stop and start again near trees. Alice tries to figure out where the fey came out of any given tree and what his maximum distance seems to be. Eventually we are able to figure out the direction he went but we have to continue on on foot without siege crab since its dense forest now.

We start to hear something with a heavy tread coming towards us from beyond the woods. Eventually we start to see the fey riding something that is shaped like a lion but its body is made of vines and thorns break through the tree canopy and crash down to the ground near us and a battle breaks out. 

Rounds been unable to act is 3

The first thing the fey does is take control of Tyrrox and Tyrrox starts to mimic what the fey does which is jump down from the lion-like plant beast. Leon shoots an eldtrich blast  of the ice variety at the fey and he just moves out of the way to dodge it. Thallatos has his marrilith grab Alice and casts acid fog and tells everyone to get away from Tyrrox. The twins move over to Thallatos, and Alice shouts to have the marrilith let her go. The plant beast moves 5 feet forward putting his head just outside of the acid fog.

The fey moves back 5 feet and casts a spell and we are able to tell through the acid fog because Tyrrox then moves back 5 feet and moves his hands and speaks Sylven spell words as well and knocks his lance out of his hands in the process. Leon then moves up and blasts the plant beast with an ice eldritch blast doing a decent amount of damage to it and it also had to make a save that it passed. Leon then quicken shots for one more blast on the plant beast hitting it and doing more decent damage to it. Thallatos casts insect plague in the same range of the acid fog ontop of the enemies as his acid fog starts damaging the enemies. The plant beast moves forward further out of the fog and right into where Thallatos' insects will appear.

The fey then reaches into a pocket to pull out a scroll to read and TYrrox mimics the same thing as if he had a pocket with a scroll in it. Nym casts a flaming sphere on the plant beast which takes some damage but the fire does not seem to be doing enough to burn the plant. Leon moves and holds an action to fire blasts when he can see the enemies. Thallatos' insects bite and swarm over the plant beast while Thallatos turns off his acid fog cloud. Once the fog drops Leon blasts with his held action using his hellfire and wand charges at the fey dealing massive hellfire damage. Thallatos then finishes his turn by trying greater dispell the enchantment on Tyrrox which he successfully does. Thallatos' marrilith then moves up to the plant beast which uses a held action to force the marrilith to make a reflex save that she fails and gets hit with a volley of thorns for minor damage. Tyrrox is now able to move so he charges the plant beast dealing just over 100 damage and continues moving to setup a charge on the fey. Alice and the twins move up towards the plant beast.

The fey then turns to Tyrrox and attempts a spell on him, but Tyrrox makes the save and avoids whatever affects he might have taken so the fey dives into the plant best taken some thorn damage as well as some bug swarms that are still hanging around from Thallatos. Also a delayed blast spell of lightning strikes Leon. Nym then moves the flaming sphere from the plant beast to the fey. Thallatos casts eye bite on the fey but he makes the save, while the marrilith moves up and attacks the fey. Leon blasts the fey again with a regular eldritch blast dealing decent damage bbbut fails the spell resistance roll and his last quicken attack misses. The battle briar turns towards Tyrrox and slams him with a hand of thorny claws. Tyrrox then steps up five feet and attacks with his lance and shield 3 and 2 times respectively and then his two hooves dealing over 100 damage to finish off the battle briar. Alice moves up towards the fey aand drops a beam of white divine light onto the fey dealing some damage but very blinding to all around.

The fey then looks around and his visage changes and drops his scroll and we see what he really looks like which is elfish with various antlers and wood coming from him and Leon and Tyrrox deduce that this fey is called a Verdant Prince and it can make supernatural deals with people and its also putting its hands up in a surrendering manner and the battle ends.

He can only make one oath bond at a time and if someone doesn't hold up their part of the bond they start to feal sick and the non-oath breaker knows exactly where the oath breaker is at. Death or magic can negate the oath bond. Leon has his finger pointed at the fey who is named Tarraway prince of the forest. Tyyrrox asks if he has an oath but he says he doesn't and Tyrrox can't tell if he is lying, and Leon is able to confirm he isn't lying. Tyrrox asks why Tarraway is kidnapping and killing people and he just says because he was hungry. Leon is able to determine that he is not very old and has the mentality and age of a child more or less. Tarraway says he is able to teach us a bunch of spells that we dont know to control people. We decide to bring him to the arch-druid but we put him in Thallatos' box with the air bottle. Thallatos convinces him to go into the box.

Leon then starts to write up the oath pact and he phrases it so that Thallaway cannot kill, eat or harm people except in self defense and he has to accept one request from the arch-druid once a year and the druids cannot require him to do anything potentially suicidal. Eventually we are able to get Thallaway to agree to this.

We then bring Thallaway into the siege crab so that he cannot tree walk and we also picked up the scroll he dropped which was Otto's Irresistable Dancing. We take Thallaway back to the druids  and explain what we went through and turn Thallaway over to the druids for their care and guidance. Arkanius then agrees to turn Nym over to us and Arkanius gives him various items to help him in his journies with us. Tyrrox also informs the mayor we have eliminated the threat of the verdant prince and the mayor ensures us we will always have free food, drink, and stay forever. We also tell him to take care of Lady Noh if she comes through the town.

We then relax at the inn for a bit while the mayor looks for gems for animating dead for Thallatos. While Tyrrox is dancing at the inn Leon asks around for Raina and after a while he finds out that she just left a few hours ago heading north. Leon heads up to the cove she is beleived to go to with Tyrrox running and Leon flying in the air tied to Tyrrox like a kite. Sun is being going down as we get there and we see a fairly small boat that is being packed by people. Tyrrox waits back per Leon while Leon turns invisible and flies up towards Raina who is in a boat with two men. This boat is basically a row boat and the goods are in small crates and a bag or two of stuff.

Leon sits down on the boat and turns visible and tells Raina he is here to talk to her. Raina says she is buying supplies for her new ship and says that this area is not really lucrative anymore. Leon tells Raina that there will be a ton of pirates in the coming months on Tethyr coasts because of the dependency on foreign aid. Tethyr's naval forces are not specifically impressive so Leon wants to pit Raina against pirate brethren to keep them off Tethyr food ships. Leon will provide a better ship and funding for regular living and all she has to do is stop pirates and take their cargo food and give it to people in any coastal cities. Also Leon will pay for the resurrection of her two friends that were slain in combat by Leon and Tyrrox. Raina says the muscle guy is not necessary but the female air elemental would be greatly appreciated. Raina will pick out the ship that we will buy her, but Leon also wants a person placed on her ship to vouch for what she is doing.   Raina also says to meet her in Zazesspur when needed as its safer than Myratma. Leon offers to put 5000 gold down to meet Leon later in Myratma and sign contracts and Raina is happy to do so in 30 days, or 8th of next month Hammer. Leon then turns invisible and disappears. Leon meets back up with Tyrrox and they head back to Mosstone.

Back at Mosstone Thallatos is in the inn/bar and someone sits down next to him in clean cut clothes well fed and groomed and offers greetings. The man introduces himself as Count Jordy Gallum who seems like a commoner that came into wealth as he is count of this area. Jordy's wife was a commoner also but acts more like a typical woman would and he invites Thallatos to visit him at his home sometime. Eventually they part ways after Thallatos invites Jordy to Heavenforth Manor whenever he wants. Thallatos talks with Alice to kill more time until Leon, Tyrrox come back and the mayor also arrives with 10 more stones for his animating dead.

We then head off back south to make a stop at the castle before heading onto Myratma to meet up with the bronze dragon. It's night out, but Leon and Thallatos want to get going so we move on. On the way through the Starspire Mountains Thallatos stops to animate several of the 6 dead fire elemental giants. We stop in Zazesspur before getting to Heavenforth Manor and we sell a bunch of stuff there. WWWe sell all the stuff we had that was extra and get 55,000 gold. Thallatos takes 10,000 gold and the rest is put into the castle fund putting it at exactly 100,000 gold. Thallatos takes his 10,000 gold and tries to buy a ton of onyx gems for his animate dead spells. He is able to get 150 gems which is only 3750 gold. By going to more stores Thallatos gets 150 more gems for another 3750 gold leaving him with 2500 gold.

We then leave Zazesspur and head onto Heavenforth Manor where Leon gathers everyone up. Leon goes over his discussion with Raina Scarlett and how he is going to hire her to protect Tethyr trade ships from pirate ships. It is recommended that the person to go with Raina and be her liasone is Solius and he agrees, however, he says that we need to guarantee the safety of his wife and children.  

Leon then goes to be with his wife and Thallatos organizes his undead in the basement. We spend one day at home and then head off to Myratma to meet up with the bronze dragon. To get into his lair we have to go under water into an air tunnel/pocket that leads up to his lair. Also Alice can cast water breathing to help us get to the dragon's lair. Tyrrox goes on first to be an emissary and finds the path that leads to the lair to let him know why we came before having the group come in. When Tyrrox first comes into the lair and the dragon is in human form. The dragon is willing to let the group into his lair but Tyrrox is on guard because of what the dragon says as Tyrrox leaves that he doesn't have enough fish for this.

As we enter the dragon shines a lantern at us to make sure we aren't hiding anything or anyone. The dragon also introduces himself as Meagor and also that he was in the dance contest that we started a fight in and stole the prize. We then explain again to the dragon why we are here, but Meagor already had an idea because Tyrrox told him when he came in alone. Meagor suggests trying his big round platform that heals as if using the heal spell, however, since Thallatos heals with inflict instead of cure this platform will hurt him. Thallatos falls on the ground screaming while everyone else on it is healed though Alice still is without her memories. Meagor has another idea to try and rummages through his stuff and grabs what looks like a burgundy spiral rod with a claw-like sculpture at the end. He points it at Alice and speaks a word for a greater dispell and it looks amazing, but still doesn't work on Alice.

Meagor then asks if we tried a heroes feast and we haven't so he blows on his horn and a massive feast appears. While eating we discuss the drought and its borders and Meagor says its a magic spell beyond that of a mere mortal; artifact or deity divine magic influence. Of course Meagor is not able to cast wish and does not have a ring of wishes, but he says he might be able to get one but wouldn't do it for free of course and once he gets it we can discuss payment. Meagor realizes that 1BA symbol Leon found is for the 1st Bank of Amn so that bank wanted Alice captured for some reason. Leon explains that Amn and Tethyr do not get a long at all currently so possibly the draught is coming from someone or something in Amn. Leon has a feeling that if we went into Amn we would find more information than we would probably like.

Meagor explains that Leon's theory points to either high class economic warfare or physical military warfare, but Thallatos' girlfriend doesn't seem to fit into the puzzel. Megor agrees to rush the ring of wishes but will want fair trade. We also invite Meagor to stay with us at Heavenforth Manor and possibly build him some type of water lair. We also take the measurements of Meagor because he was very impressed with Tyrrox's armor so we tell him that as part of him getting the ring of wishes we can get him some mithril armor for his dragon form. As we end the session Meagor agreese to go find a ring of wishes, and we agree to start on the mithril armor. We also are going to see about getting a room built for Meagor.

X.P. for the session and last sessions put us at 105,000.

[Velaryon]

You guys have gotten a different numbering system going than mine. When you do split sessions I usually mark them as, for example, 36.1 and 36.2. They take place concurrently so I like to think of them as the same session spread out over two nights. By that measure, last night would have been 37, not 38.

[Tyrrox Zym]

Session 38 - Saturday September 17, 2016


After discussing on the way back to the castle, we arrive there at dinner time and Red tells the group that one of the dwarves suggests digging below the castle into the under dark to pump water up to the castle, but there were concerns regarding things coming up from the under dark. We also check up on the progress of the various buildings that are being repaired. We are also made aware of a reporter that keeps returning to interview Thallatos and they keep turning him away.


Leon goes to talk to Helena his wife and Leon grabs Thallatos as a witness because Helena asks where Leon's wedding ring is at. And understandably is upset at the whole cause but understands and hopes it comes back.


Thallatos will also talk to Elysa and let her know where they are going next and show her around the castle. Leon works on putting a tax in place to gather gold from everyone in Thallatos' county. Tyrrox asks for a messenger to be sent to the capital regarding the castle's guild and the elite task force for the queen to call on when needed.


Gorok gets a letter about a request for a Druid to fill an opening in the grove and it's possible they may have a lead on where Goroc's father is. Goroc also starts casting the awakening spell on Patrick his gorilla.


Thallatos runs into Nym who seems very excited to see Thallatos and shows him a ring from the arch-Druid and when he shows it to Thallatos it shoots hot steam everywhere. Nym also shows how it can make a scimitar out of fire, shoot a blast of wind, turn his body into stone skin, and possibly more. Nym notices that the ring is made of wood and has the 4 swirling elemental symbols of the Ragma. Thallatos also shares his ring to Nym and what it does.


In the morning a messenger rides one of our gryphons that the messengers are proficient in to the capital with the message from Tyrrox. Leon finishes looking over the castle's finances and sees that things seem to be in order. Leon also talks to Solius about how he needs to watch over Raina and help her in her new job as a privateer. Thallatos would sign the tax policy for Thallatos' county, Goroc continues awakening Patrick and eventually finishes before we leave for the necropolis and tells Leon he is leaving, but is leaving his gorilla Patrick in Leon's hands, etc., and the group is introduced to awakened Patrick! Then we set off for the necropolis and bring who we can to help us.


As we are leaving the half-Orc Garm walks up to Leon with a burlap sack over his shoulder and from it we hear bottles clinking together and he tells us that Helena told him where we are going and he made us a dozen bottles of holy water for the necropolis. He offers it to us as a peace offering and to help us.


Traveling to the necropolis is slow going as its over 400 miles and will take around 11 days on heavy horseback while Leon flies behind Tyrrox. After 4 days we reach Darrowmar, but we don't have much need to stop so we press on through it. Continuing to the necropolis in/below the Omlarandin mountains. Past Darrowmar Tyrrox up front sees a half-Orc with a large war hammer who is the half-Orc that killed Goroc named Morg. As we get closer Leon calls out like a friend to Morg and Morg remembers who we are and attacks us.


Tyrrox starts out the combat by charging at Morg punching with the lance and shield which hits for a lot of damage but it does not kill Morg so then Patrick charges at Morg after jumping off Thallatos' undead horse he was riding and moves up to Morg. Morg then blows a horn and 4 barbarians appear that all look funny; a funny one, a black one, a woman, a short skinny hairy dude. Patrick then grabs the skinny hairy one by the face while the others charge at Patrick attacking him. Leon fires at Morg hitting him right in the face. The battle continues and we discover that Morg is a frenzied berserker and despite the damage we do he keeps on attacking. Eventually Leon wraps Morg's hands together with a hall fire chain as wyvren zombies fly around. AND LEON FINALLY CRITS FOR 72 COLD DAMAGE ON MORG freezing his arm and severing it from his body! Eventually we are able to grapple Morg, take his hammer, and keep him restrained until his rage runs out at which point he instantly dies. Goroc takes the horn of Valhalla and Tyrrox takes Morg's hammer and we continue on towards the necropolis.


After 11 days we reach the city of Saraduche which is the town nearest to the necropolis mountain. This is a frontier-like fortified city due to it being far away from everything else. Because of Thallatos' credentials we are let in easily and get some food and then move on to the necropolis mountains. Thallatos mentions that there are displacer beasts around the mountains so to be on the watch if possible. Thallatos is able to cast hide from undead enough and well enough to keep us all hidden for the duration we are down here.


Once we get to the mountain Thallatos realizes that undead aren't drawn to this mountain so we have to find the cave entrance via survival. As we descend into the mountains it gets dark, but most of us can see in the dark except Patrick and the twins that are with us so we leave the twins at the entrance of the cave since they won't be able to see or fight in the dark. As we start out Thallatos has a good feeling about this despite not feeling too good about the lack of undead pull. Tyrrox sees a branch going off to the side but Leon sees that the path we are on is the one we want to continue on. After some amount of time the tunnel starts to widen and in the distance we see a closed gate made of mithril. To avoid making sound, Thallatos uses his ring of elemental command to pass wall through the mithril gate and then casts hide from undead on us all.


Once inside the city we see tons of undead mostly zombies and skeletons, but there are more variety of undead which means some could be undead and could possibly see us, but likely that they won't. Leon looks around to see if he can identify anything that might be an intelligent undead and spots some wights. Thallatos recalls at this point that the undead aura pulling undead to the city made Thallatos feel at home, and he still feels that, so it's shrinking, moving, etc. As we move through the city we all move as silently as we can until Leon casts fly on Thallatos and Tyrrox and flies himself to be completely silent.


We manage to reach the keep and see a little flicker of light at the keep and Tyrrox and Patrick hear blacksmith clanging so Leon flies up since he is invisible and invisible to undead and sees the light is from the forge as well as some heat. Inside Leon sees dwarf skeletons forging who seem to be under direction from some sort of intelligent undead. Leon comes back and updates everyone on the forge and what he saw and then re-casts fly on us all, and we continue on exploring other parts of the keep.


While deciding where to go Leon and Tyrrox see a ghostly Raven fly by looking around and it doesn't seem to focus on us, and then see more join them so we float away towards the library around the forge hugging ceilings and with some luck we reach the library without issue. Upon reaching it we see a skeletal dwarf shushing nothing that Leon and Thallatos recall seeing before. Leon notices the other warlock from the boneclaws reading a tome in the library and also notices in records that there are more undead here than the last time they were here. Leon talks to him and says that the creature or being that caused this undead city is on a power that we can't comprehend. The warlock says that he doubts this being is also causing the drought when Leon asks him. The warlock does says it's not the dragon or his former master and that we shouldn't stay here and he is confident that we will be on the same side eventually. Thallatos is curious as to what caused this but it is extremely dangerous to confront it so we just decide to try and take things and leave as fast as possible. The zombie dragon king of this place before is just a mindless zombie as a note.


Before leaving the library Leon grabs more books filling his bag and each tome is a years worth of city history. Next in our trek through this city we look for a bank for stored gold and other valuable items. Leon renews the flying charges on everyone again and spots the bank and Tyrrox is able to confirm it since he reads Dwarven. A discussion takes place between Thallatos and Leon. About finding out what is causing this and just getting the gold and getting out. Inside the bank Leon and Tyrrox see some movement inside the bank of skeletons as well as the ravens flying around the bank. Leon also writes in the journey book what we see and Helena writes back that the ring was returned with someone's head. Helena writes back for Leon to get out of there asap.


Inside the bank we see the Ravens flying to the back of the bank so it's something we check out to see what a back there with Leon going first the Thallatos and then Tyrrox with Patrick on him or near him. In this back room we see a closed vault door as well as the Ravens going back and forth from a creature hunched over made entirely of eyes and Leon feels queezy but is able to shrug it off. The creature seems to be communicating with the Ravens as they fly into it. In the creatures mouth is a long gross tongue with grippers on it that seems to reach out several feet.


We decide to approach the vault from a different direction using Thallatos' ring to get into the vault secretly. The building above the vault is a tavern named Bankers and Tankards with some wights and other mindless undead, so Thallatos uses undead to death on them to kill them instantly and then stone shape the bottom of the building to get into the vault after Leon melts the metal of the vault and he also re-casts fly on everyone. Once in the vault we see boxes of coins, drawers that are locked that we have Patrick break, and bars of gold. In the locked drawers we find jewels, gold, etc. and we pack all of our bags and pockets with gold and valuable gems/metals. Leon also finds that a rod glows magic with a strong necromantic aura to it as well as an ion stone with an abjuration aura, and two rings, one with a moderate transmutation aura, and a strong conjugation aura on the other.


Before leaving we douse the lights and Leon re-casts flying and Thallatos re-casts hiding from undead on everyone as we head out of the bank/brewery making our way out of the necropolis but Thallatos says that he will come back to figure out what is going on here and who is controlling things here. On the way out Leon sees something waiting on the other side of the pass wall that is humanoid shaped. Made of darkness, and it's a Nightwalker. In the rear, Thallatos notices spectral Ravens landing on the gate looking at us and a battle breaks out.


Leon starts out the combat by shooting a massive volcano/geyser of hellfire at the Nightwalker doing substantial damage that burns for several rounds. Tyrrox sees from around the corner of a building come shambling a small group of bloated humans with just loin clothes bloated with blood and Tyrrox alerts everyone to their presence. Tyrrox gets paralyzed with fear for several rounds, Patrick gets confused by the Nightwalker, and the Nightwalker's third action we are all unaffected by. Next Thallatos sees something coming from his left, and then on his turn Thallatos blocks off the hole in the tunnel with bricks of stone. Leon then blasts the Nightwalker again twice dealing substantial damage. The Nightwalker attempts a death spell on Leon and luckily Leon saves so he only takes damage from it and then the Nightwalker backs away from the tunnel. Thallatos then tries a control undead on the Nightwalker after moving up further into the tunnel, but Thallatos fails to beat the Nightwalker's spell resistance. Leon then moves up out of the tunnel and shoots the Nightwalker again with Hellfire dealing substantial damage to the Nightwalker again incinerating it!


After the battle Patrick attacks Tyrrox as he is confused while Thallatos tries to dispel it but is unable to do so at first. After Patrick beats on Tyrrox some more it eventually wears off and the session ends there.

[Tyrrox Zym]

Session 37 - Saturday April 4th, 2015

After 20 months we meet again for the next session. The session starts with Tyrrox, Goroc, and Vanemuineback in Mosstone after defeating the tendril monsters and the fey that got away. We head to the mayor of the town to discuss with him what we found and did. We approach the mayor's house who is also a blacksmith so we find him working on his trade. We describe the fey creature as well as the tendril monster to the mayor and tell him that he got away. We then go to the local inn we went to last time.


Back with Leon and Thallatos they are heading out of Amn, which is rather cold since its currently December, so they teleport out of Amn to Mosstone back in Tethyr where the weather is hot as the middle of July. Leon claims that he already needs a drink and inside Leon and Thallatos meet up with Tyrrox and Goroc and Vanemuine. Tyrrox notices that "Alice" seems cautious and distant from Thallatos due to the fact she still has enchantments on her and a wish spell will likely be needed to restore her memory. We decide to go visit the druids of Mosstone to take care of a mysterious lady in a bag that Thallatos has that he does not get into when Tyrrox asks.

At the druid grove the arch-druid is occupied but we are greeted by a familiar face, Nym who is the arch-druid's secretary and he does not like it because he cannot do druid work. Leon then explains that we have a guest that needs help breaking an enchantment spell but the druids are not able to cast break enchantment so Leon decides to use a scroll he has but we ask for a private grove to do this in so as to not cause a rukus.

Thallatos pulls the female sex slave out of the bag who had a Marrilith holding her with an air bottle keeping her alive. The female didn't want to be taken peacefully but she is under powerful compulsion magic making her do things she doesn't want to do or so we think. Thallatos tries to reason with her, but she tries to convince Nym that we are horrible people and did horrible things to her and is able to pretty convingly do so. Leon pulls out his scroll and attempts to cast it to break the spell on this woman. Leon is able to successfully cast the spell from the scroll and the enchantment spell is broken. The lady introduces herself as Lady Noh and she wants to try and get revenge on the man that did this to her. Turns out that there is a middle man that delivered Lady Noh to The Enchanter/restaurant's proprieter. On a side note, it seems that people were also sold to the Drow and there could be a connection to The Enchanter. Some details on The Enchanter that Lady Noh gives is that she is very adept in magic but he is unable to cast illusions and necromany magic. He is very focused and his mental powers are extremely powerful and unlike any she has ever seen before. Noh also gives us a list of possible magic items he would probably have.

Leon gives her mask back to Noh which helps her lie better and Leon then tells Noh that we can teleport her back to Amn and she deals with it on her own, or she comes back to Heavenforth Manor with us. Noh will only have one shot at taking care of him because she isn't able to resist her magic, but she is going to take Leon's teleportation offer up to head back to Amn. Leon also gives her poisons back to her and Thallatos disguises her so that she wont be as recognizable. Leon also lets her borrow his ring of spell turning and Thallatos will cast Gaea's Quest on he which will force her to bring the spell turning ring back to Heavenforth Manor after she completes her mission. Noh will also bring The Enchanter's head back as proof. Thallatos makes Noh look like a male elf with his massive disguise check.

John rolls out the encounter with Noh and the Enchanter on the side and it turns out that the Enchanter survived the death attack and passed the save, but still takes secondary con damage. He then tries to dominate her, but the ring of spell turning reflected it back to her and he dominated himself under her control as a result which is awesome.

Back at the Druid grove we ask if Nym wants to come with us and he wants to, however, he has to get permission from the arch-druid of the grove Arkanius Silvermane. We arrange for a meeting with Arkanius who was once very powerful but the status of Tethyr has aged him and stressed him out greatly. He looks like your typical long grey haired beard druid and looks like the old man he is now. We ask Arkanius to sign Nym over to us because we have great need for a druid in Heavenforth Manor. We also tell Arkanius of the fey creature and its tendriculous that we took down. Arkanius tells us that he will release Nym to us if we help remove the fey creature that is running amuck around Mosstone.

Leon states that we have more important things to do and suggests having Vanemuine, Goroc, and the two NPCs taking care of the fey while we continue on to go back to that bronze dragon to ask him about finding a wish spell for Alice and helping Tethyr, but Alice says she wants us to help get rid of the fey and that her memories can wait. Alice and Nym decide to come with us to take down this fey and as it turns out they are both well suited to taking this thing down.

Thallatos and Alice decide to head back to siege crab and the twins that are south of Mosstone. Leon and Tyrrox head back to Mosstone and wait for Thallatos to return. Once he is back with the siege crab we all head off into the forest to find the fey but Tyrroz leaves word with the mayor of Mosstone that we are heading off to take down the fey once and for all. As we are heading out Leon asks the more charismatic party members to start singing the song as the twins play a lute they have to try and lure the fey out.

Leon is quite sure that the first 4 hours of travel there is nothing around us and because siege crab doesn't tire as a skeleton we can double move without issue. Leon shoots a cold eldritch blasts at the inside siege crab to cool the inside from the heat outside. Upon reaching the battlefield there is no sight of the fey just the dead tendriculous squirrel corpse. Tyrrox identifies all the prints on the ground for Alice so that she can help track which were the fey and where he went after the battle. The fey prints seem to often stop and start again near trees. Alice tries to figure out where the fey came out of any given tree and what his maximum distance seems to be. Eventually we are able to figure out the direction he went but we have to continue on on foot without siege crab since its dense forest now.

We start to hear something with a heavy tread coming towards us from beyond the woods. Eventually we start to see the fey riding something that is shaped like a lion but its body is made of vines and thorns break through the tree canopy and crash down to the ground near us and a battle breaks out.

Rounds been unable to act is 3

The first thing the fey does is take control of Tyrrox and Tyrrox starts to mimic what the fey does which is jump down from the lion-like plant beast. Leon shoots an eldtrich blast of the ice variety at the fey and he just moves out of the way to dodge it. Thallatos has his marrilith grab Alice and casts acid fog and tells everyone to get away from Tyrrox. The twins move over to Thallatos, and Alice shouts to have the marrilith let her go. The plant beast moves 5 feet forward putting his head just outside of the acid fog.

The fey moves back 5 feet and casts a spell and we are able to tell through the acid fog because Tyrrox then moves back 5 feet and moves his hands and speaks Sylven spell words as well and knocks his lance out of his hands in the process. Leon then moves up and blasts the plant beast with an ice eldritch blast doing a decent amount of damage to it and it also had to make a save that it passed. Leon then quicken shots for one more blast on the plant beast hitting it and doing more decent damage to it. Thallatos casts insect plague in the same range of the acid fog ontop of the enemies as his acid fog starts damaging the enemies. The plant beast moves forward further out of the fog and right into where Thallatos' insects will appear.

The fey then reaches into a pocket to pull out a scroll to read and TYrrox mimics the same thing as if he had a pocket with a scroll in it. Nym casts a flaming sphere on the plant beast which takes some damage but the fire does not seem to be doing enough to burn the plant. Leon moves and holds an action to fire blasts when he can see the enemies. Thallatos' insects bite and swarm over the plant beast while Thallatos turns off his acid fog cloud. Once the fog drops Leon blasts with his held action using his hellfire and wand charges at the fey dealing massive hellfire damage. Thallatos then finishes his turn by trying greater dispell the enchantment on Tyrrox which he successfully does. Thallatos' marrilith then moves up to the plant beast which uses a held action to force the marrilith to make a reflex save that she fails and gets hit with a volley of thorns for minor damage. Tyrrox is now able to move so he charges the plant beast dealing just over 100 damage and continues moving to setup a charge on the fey. Alice and the twins move up towards the plant beast.

The fey then turns to Tyrrox and attempts a spell on him, but Tyrrox makes the save and avoids whatever affects he might have taken so the fey dives into the plant best taken some thorn damage as well as some bug swarms that are still hanging around from Thallatos. Also a delayed blast spell of lightning strikes Leon. Nym then moves the flaming sphere from the plant beast to the fey. Thallatos casts eye bite on the fey but he makes the save, while the marrilith moves up and attacks the fey. Leon blasts the fey again with a regular eldritch blast dealing decent damage bbbut fails the spell resistance roll and his last quicken attack misses. The battle briar turns towards Tyrrox and slams him with a hand of thorny claws. Tyrrox then steps up five feet and attacks with his lance and shield 3 and 2 times respectively and then his two hooves dealing over 100 damage to finish off the battle briar. Alice moves up towards the fey aand drops a beam of white divine light onto the fey dealing some damage but very blinding to all around.

The fey then looks around and his visage changes and drops his scroll and we see what he really looks like which is elfish with various antlers and wood coming from him and Leon and Tyrrox deduce that this fey is called a Verdant Prince and it can make supernatural deals with people and its also putting its hands up in a surrendering manner and the battle ends.

He can only make one oath bond at a time and if someone doesn't hold up their part of the bond they start to feal sick and the non-oath breaker knows exactly where the oath breaker is at. Death or magic can negate the oath bond. Leon has his finger pointed at the fey who is named Tarraway prince of the forest. Tyyrrox asks if he has an oath but he says he doesn't and Tyrrox can't tell if he is lying, and Leon is able to confirm he isn't lying. Tyrrox asks why Tarraway is kidnapping and killing people and he just says because he was hungry. Leon is able to determine that he is not very old and has the mentality and age of a child more or less. Tarraway says he is able to teach us a bunch of spells that we dont know to control people. We decide to bring him to the arch-druid but we put him in Thallatos' box with the air bottle. Thallatos convinces him to go into the box.

Leon then starts to write up the oath pact and he phrases it so that Thallaway cannot kill, eat or harm people except in self defense and he has to accept one request from the arch-druid once a year and the druids cannot require him to do anything potentially suicidal. Eventually we are able to get Thallaway to agree to this.

We then bring Thallaway into the siege crab so that he cannot tree walk and we also picked up the scroll he dropped which was Otto's Irresistable Dancing. We take Thallaway back to the druids and explain what we went through and turn Thallaway over to the druids for their care and guidance. Arkanius then agrees to turn Nym over to us and Arkanius gives him various items to help him in his journies with us. Tyrrox also informs the mayor we have eliminated the threat of the verdant prince and the mayor ensures us we will always have free food, drink, and stay forever. We also tell him to take care of Lady Noh if she comes through the town.

We then relax at the inn for a bit while the mayor looks for gems for animating dead for Thallatos. While Tyrrox is dancing at the inn Leon asks around for Raina and after a while he finds out that she just left a few hours ago heading north. Leon heads up to the cove she is beleived to go to with Tyrrox running and Leon flying in the air tied to Tyrrox like a kite. Sun is being going down as we get there and we see a fairly small boat that is being packed by people. Tyrrox waits back per Leon while Leon turns invisible and flies up towards Raina who is in a boat with two men. This boat is basically a row boat and the goods are in small crates and a bag or two of stuff.

Leon sits down on the boat and turns visible and tells Raina he is here to talk to her. Raina says she is buying supplies for her new ship and says that this area is not really lucrative anymore. Leon tells Raina that there will be a ton of pirates in the coming months on Tethyr coasts because of the dependency on foreign aid. Tethyr's naval forces are not specifically impressive so Leon wants to pit Raina against pirate brethren to keep them off Tethyr food ships. Leon will provide a better ship and funding for regular living and all she has to do is stop pirates and take their cargo food and give it to people in any coastal cities. Also Leon will pay for the resurrection of her two friends that were slain in combat by Leon and Tyrrox. Raina says the muscle guy is not necessary but the female air elemental would be greatly appreciated. Raina will pick out the ship that we will buy her, but Leon also wants a person placed on her ship to vouch for what she is doing. Raina also says to meet her in Zazesspur when needed as its safer than Myratma. Leon offers to put 5000 gold down to meet Leon later in Myratma and sign contracts and Raina is happy to do so in 30 days, or 8th of next month Hammer. Leon then turns invisible and disappears. Leon meets back up with Tyrrox and they head back to Mosstone.

Back at Mosstone Thallatos is in the inn/bar and someone sits down next to him in clean cut clothes well fed and groomed and offers greetings. The man introduces himself as Count Jordy Gallum who seems like a commoner that came into wealth as he is count of this area. Jordy's wife was a commoner also but acts more like a typical woman would and he invites Thallatos to visit him at his home sometime. Eventually they part ways after Thallatos invites Jordy to Heavenforth Manor whenever he wants. Thallatos talks with Alice to kill more time until Leon, Tyrrox come back and the mayor also arrives with 10 more stones for his animating dead.

We then head off back south to make a stop at the castle before heading onto Myratma to meet up with the bronze dragon. It's night out, but Leon and Thallatos want to get going so we move on. On the way through the Starspire Mountains Thallatos stops to animate several of the 6 dead fire elemental giants. We stop in Zazesspur before getting to Heavenforth Manor and we sell a bunch of stuff there. WWWe sell all the stuff we had that was extra and get 55,000 gold. Thallatos takes 10,000 gold and the rest is put into the castle fund putting it at exactly 100,000 gold. Thallatos takes his 10,000 gold and tries to buy a ton of onyx gems for his animate dead spells. He is able to get 150 gems which is only 3750 gold. By going to more stores Thallatos gets 150 more gems for another 3750 gold leaving him with 2500 gold.

We then leave Zazesspur and head onto Heavenforth Manor where Leon gathers everyone up. Leon goes over his discussion with Raina Scarlett and how he is going to hire her to protect Tethyr trade ships from pirate ships. It is recommended that the person to go with Raina and be her liasone is Solius and he agrees, however, he says that we need to guarantee the safety of his wife and children.

Leon then goes to be with his wife and Thallatos organizes his undead in the basement. We spend one day at home and then head off to Myratma to meet up with the bronze dragon. To get into his lair we have to go under water into an air tunnel/pocket that leads up to his lair. Also Alice can cast water breathing to help us get to the dragon's lair. Tyrrox goes on first to be an emissary and finds the path that leads to the lair to let him know why we came before having the group come in. When Tyrrox first comes into the lair and the dragon is in human form. The dragon is willing to let the group into his lair but Tyrrox is on guard because of what the dragon says as Tyrrox leaves that he doesn't have enough fish for this.

As we enter the dragon shines a lantern at us to make sure we aren't hiding anything or anyone. The dragon also introduces himself as Meagor and also that he was in the dance contest that we started a fight in and stole the prize. We then explain again to the dragon why we are here, but Meagor already had an idea because Tyrrox told him when he came in alone. Meagor suggests trying his big round platform that heals as if using the heal spell, however, since Thallatos heals with inflict instead of cure this platform will hurt him. Thallatos falls on the ground screaming while everyone else on it is healed though Alice still is without her memories. Meagor has another idea to try and rummages through his stuff and grabs what looks like a burgundy spiral rod with a claw-like sculpture at the end. He points it at Alice and speaks a word for a greater dispell and it looks amazing, but still doesn't work on Alice.

Meagor then asks if we tried a heroes feast and we haven't so he blows on his horn and a massive feast appears. While eating we discuss the drought and its borders and Meagor says its a magic spell beyond that of a mere mortal; artifact or deity divine magic influence. Of course Meagor is not able to cast wish and does not have a ring of wishes, but he says he might be able to get one but wouldn't do it for free of course and once he gets it we can discuss payment. Meagor realizes that 1BA symbol Leon found is for the 1st Bank of Amn so that bank wanted Alice captured for some reason. Leon explains that Amn and Tethyr do not get a long at all currently so possibly the draught is coming from someone or something in Amn. Leon has a feeling that if we went into Amn we would find more information than we would probably like.

Meagor explains that Leon's theory points to either high class economic warfare or physical military warfare, but Thallatos' girlfriend doesn't seem to fit into the puzzel. Megor agrees to rush the ring of wishes but will want fair trade. We also invite Meagor to stay with us at Heavenforth Manor and possibly build him some type of water lair. We also take the measurements of Meagor because he was very impressed with Tyrrox's armor so we tell him that as part of him getting the ring of wishes we can get him some mithril armor for his dragon form. As we end the session Meagor agreese to go find a ring of wishes, and we agree to start on the mithril armor. We also are going to see about getting a room built for Meagor.

X.P. for the session and last sessions put us at 105,000.




Session 38 - Saturday September 17, 2016

After discussing on the way back to the castle, we arrive there at dinner time and Red tells the group that one of the dwarves suggests digging below the castle into the under dark to pump water up to the castle, but there were concerns regarding things coming up from the under dark. We also check up on the progress of the various buildings that are being repaired. We are also made aware of a reporter that keeps returning to interview Thallatos and they keep turning him away.

Leon goes to talk to Helena his wife and Leon grabs Thallatos as a witness because Helena asks where Leon's wedding ring is at. And understandably is upset at the whole cause but understands and hopes it comes back.

Thallatos will also talk to Elysa and let her know where they are going next and show her around the castle. Leon works on putting a tax in place to gather gold from everyone in Thallatos' county. Tyrrox asks for a messenger to be sent to the capital regarding the castle's guild and the elite task force for the queen to call on when needed.

Gorok gets a letter about a request for a Druid to fill an opening in the grove and it's possible they may have a lead on where Goroc's father is. Goroc also starts casting the awakening spell on Patrick his gorilla.

Thallatos runs into Nym who seems very excited to see Thallatos and shows him a ring from the arch-Druid and when he shows it to Thallatos it shoots hot steam everywhere. Nym also shows how it can make a scimitar out of fire, shoot a blast of wind, turn his body into stone skin, and possibly more. Nym notices that the ring is made of wood and has the 4 swirling elemental symbols of the Ragma. Thallatos also shares his ring to Nym and what it does.

In the morning a messenger rides one of our gryphons that the messengers are proficient in to the capital with the message from Tyrrox. Leon finishes looking over the castle's finances and sees that things seem to be in order. Leon also talks to Solius about how he needs to watch over Raina and help her in her new job as a privateer. Thallatos would sign the tax policy for Thallatos' county, Goroc continues awakening Patrick and eventually finishes before we leave for the necropolis and tells Leon he is leaving, but is leaving his gorilla Patrick in Leon's hands, etc., and the group is introduced to awakened Patrick! Then we set off for the necropolis and bring who we can to help us.

As we are leaving the half-Orc Garm walks up to Leon with a burlap sack over his shoulder and from it we hear bottles clinking together and he tells us that Helena told him where we are going and he made us a dozen bottles of holy water for the necropolis. He offers it to us as a peace offering and to help us.

Traveling to the necropolis is slow going as its over 400 miles and will take around 11 days on heavy horseback while Leon flies behind Tyrrox. After 4 days we reach Darrowmar, but we don't have much need to stop so we press on through it. Continuing to the necropolis in/below the Omlarandin mountains. Past Darrowmar Tyrrox up front sees a half-Orc with a large war hammer who is the half-Orc that killed Goroc named Morg. As we get closer Leon calls out like a friend to Morg and Morg remembers who we are and attacks us.

Tyrrox starts out the combat by charging at Morg punching with the lance and shield which hits for a lot of damage but it does not kill Morg so then Patrick charges at Morg after jumping off Thallatos' undead horse he was riding and moves up to Morg. Morg then blows a horn and 4 barbarians appear that all look funny; a funny one, a black one, a woman, a short skinny hairy dude. Patrick then grabs the skinny hairy one by the face while the others charge at Patrick attacking him. Leon fires at Morg hitting him right in the face. The battle continues and we discover that Morg is a frenzied berserker and despite the damage we do he keeps on attacking. Eventually Leon wraps Morg's hands together with a hall fire chain as wyvren zombies fly around. AND LEON FINALLY CRITS FOR 72 COLD DAMAGE ON MORG freezing his arm and severing it from his body! Eventually we are able to grapple Morg, take his hammer, and keep him restrained until his rage runs out at which point he instantly dies. Goroc takes the horn of Valhalla and Tyrrox takes Morg's hammer and we continue on towards the necropolis.

After 11 days we reach the city of Saraduche which is the town nearest to the necropolis mountain. This is a frontier-like fortified city due to it being far away from everything else. Because of Thallatos' credentials we are let in easily and get some food and then move on to the necropolis mountains. Thallatos mentions that there are displacer beasts around the mountains so to be on the watch if possible. Thallatos is able to cast hide from undead enough and well enough to keep us all hidden for the duration we are down here.

Once we get to the mountain Thallatos realizes that undead aren't drawn to this mountain so we have to find the cave entrance via survival. As we descend into the mountains it gets dark, but most of us can see in the dark except Patrick and the twins that are with us so we leave the twins at the entrance of the cave since they won't be able to see or fight in the dark. As we start out Thallatos has a good feeling about this despite not feeling too good about the lack of undead pull. Tyrrox sees a branch going off to the side but Leon sees that the path we are on is the one we want to continue on. After some amount of time the tunnel starts to widen and in the distance we see a closed gate made of mithril. To avoid making sound, Thallatos uses his ring of elemental command to pass wall through the mithril gate and then casts hide from undead on us all.

Once inside the city we see tons of undead mostly zombies and skeletons, but there are more variety of undead which means some could be undead and could possibly see us, but likely that they won't. Leon looks around to see if he can identify anything that might be an intelligent undead and spots some wights. Thallatos recalls at this point that the undead aura pulling undead to the city made Thallatos feel at home, and he still feels that, so it's shrinking, moving, etc. As we move through the city we all move as silently as we can until Leon casts fly on Thallatos and Tyrrox and flies himself to be completely silent.

We manage to reach the keep and see a little flicker of light at the keep and Tyrrox and Patrick hear blacksmith clanging so Leon flies up since he is invisible and invisible to undead and sees the light is from the forge as well as some heat. Inside Leon sees dwarf skeletons forging who seem to be under direction from some sort of intelligent undead. Leon comes back and updates everyone on the forge and what he saw and then re-casts fly on us all, and we continue on exploring other parts of the keep.

While deciding where to go Leon and Tyrrox see a ghostly Raven fly by looking around and it doesn't seem to focus on us, and then see more join them so we float away towards the library around the forge hugging ceilings and with some luck we reach the library without issue. Upon reaching it we see a skeletal dwarf shushing nothing that Leon and Thallatos recall seeing before. Leon notices the other warlock from the boneclaws reading a tome in the library and also notices in records that there are more undead here than the last time they were here. Leon talks to him and says that the creature or being that caused this undead city is on a power that we can't comprehend. The warlock says that he doubts this being is also causing the drought when Leon asks him. The warlock does says it's not the dragon or his former master and that we shouldn't stay here and he is confident that we will be on the same side eventually. Thallatos is curious as to what caused this but it is extremely dangerous to confront it so we just decide to try and take things and leave as fast as possible. The zombie dragon king of this place before is just a mindless zombie as a note.

Before leaving the library Leon grabs more books filling his bag and each tome is a years worth of city history. Next in our trek through this city we look for a bank for stored gold and other valuable items. Leon renews the flying charges on everyone again and spots the bank and Tyrrox is able to confirm it since he reads Dwarven. A discussion takes place between Thallatos and Leon. About finding out what is causing this and just getting the gold and getting out. Inside the bank Leon and Tyrrox see some movement inside the bank of skeletons as well as the ravens flying around the bank. Leon also writes in the journey book what we see and Helena writes back that the ring was returned with someone's head. Helena writes back for Leon to get out of there asap.

Inside the bank we see the Ravens flying to the back of the bank so it's something we check out to see what a back there with Leon going first the Thallatos and then Tyrrox with Patrick on him or near him. In this back room we see a closed vault door as well as the Ravens going back and forth from a creature hunched over made entirely of eyes and Leon feels queezy but is able to shrug it off. The creature seems to be communicating with the Ravens as they fly into it. In the creatures mouth is a long gross tongue with grippers on it that seems to reach out several feet.

We decide to approach the vault from a different direction using Thallatos' ring to get into the vault secretly. The building above the vault is a tavern named Bankers and Tankards with some wights and other mindless undead, so Thallatos uses undead to death on them to kill them instantly and then stone shape the bottom of the building to get into the vault after Leon melts the metal of the vault and he also re-casts fly on everyone. Once in the vault we see boxes of coins, drawers that are locked that we have Patrick break, and bars of gold. In the locked drawers we find jewels, gold, etc. and we pack all of our bags and pockets with gold and valuable gems/metals. Leon also finds that a rod glows magic with a strong necromantic aura to it as well as an ion stone with an abjuration aura, and two rings, one with a moderate transmutation aura, and a strong conjugation aura on the other.

Before leaving we douse the lights and Leon re-casts flying and Thallatos re-casts hiding from undead on everyone as we head out of the bank/brewery making our way out of the necropolis but Thallatos says that he will come back to figure out what is going on here and who is controlling things here. On the way out Leon sees something waiting on the other side of the pass wall that is humanoid shaped. Made of darkness, and it's a Nightwalker. In the rear, Thallatos notices spectral Ravens landing on the gate looking at us and a battle breaks out.

Leon starts out the combat by shooting a massive volcano/geyser of hellfire at the Nightwalker doing substantial damage that burns for several rounds. Tyrrox sees from around the corner of a building come shambling a small group of bloated humans with just loin clothes bloated with blood and Tyrrox alerts everyone to their presence. Tyrrox gets paralyzed with fear for several rounds, Patrick gets confused by the Nightwalker, and the Nightwalker's third action we are all unaffected by. Next Thallatos sees something coming from his left, and then on his turn Thallatos blocks off the hole in the tunnel with bricks of stone. Leon then blasts the Nightwalker again twice dealing substantial damage. The Nightwalker attempts a death spell on Leon and luckily Leon saves so he only takes damage from it and then the Nightwalker backs away from the tunnel. Thallatos then tries a control undead on the Nightwalker after moving up further into the tunnel, but Thallatos fails to beat the Nightwalker's spell resistance. Leon then moves up out of the tunnel and shoots the Nightwalker again with Hellfire dealing substantial damage to the Nightwalker again incinerating it!

After the battle Patrick attacks Tyrrox as he is confused while Thallatos tries to dispel it but is unable to do so at first. After Patrick beats on Tyrrox some more it eventually wears off and the session ends there.

Session 39 - Saturday January 21, 2017

When the session begins Thallatos uses stone to earth to block up the entrance to the Necropolis and then we retreat back to Saradush to stop before heading back to our castle. Once we get to Saradush Thallatos asks to speak to the mayor named Tanith Ebeyross who is a male human. Thallatos tells Tanith that our group went into the old Dwarf city Necropolis and that they were alerted to our presence so Saradush should prepare for a possible attack from the undead. Leon says that we will try to be back soonish to help. Saradush has a couple hundred soldiers to defend the city to note and Tanith says that he could send word north for some reinforcements. Tanith also introduces Thallatos to the count of this county Count Oon Santele who is also the Batallion Chancellor of Tethyr, after traveling to his manor after a half hour or so and wake him up. Thallatos explains to the count the same details he explained to Tanith and to say hello. Also we invite Oon to visit Heavenforth Manor whenever he wants.

After updating the count we Head back to Darromar because Leon receives a note from his wife that the queen wants to see him. We also pass a large squad of soldiers and Tyrrox eases their tension after seeing siege crab. Eventually Thallatos and Leon come out of siege crab and we talk to the commander Rikos Dughol who is the infantry commander for the queen.

After 5 more days of travel we reach Darromar and Thallatos, the twins, and Leon go to meet the queen while Patrick and Tyrrox goes to order the mythril armor for Maegor at Lances and then goes let Maegor know that the armor is ordered. The armor will cost around 90,000 and take a month. Tyrrox says he or Maegor will pick up the armor. Afterwards Tyrrox and Patrick go to have some items from the vault identified while Thallatos and Leon talk to the queen. The items are:
Rod of Withering offered 12,000 and kept.
Ring of Regeneration offered 45,000 and sold.
Ring of Evasion offered 12,000, but given to Patrick.
Ion Stone - Pale Lavender offered 10,000 and sold.
We got 180,000 gold and used 90,000 for Maegor's armor leaving us with 90,000.

Tyrrox talks to the queen about the super council at the manor and once Tyrrox draws up a formal document he will send it off to the queen.tyrrox stays the night at Money Bags and in the morning Tyrrox heads off to Maegor in the morning and then meets up with the group at Heavenforth Manor.

Next to the queen is the dutchess of the land as well as her deep orc paladin bodyguard. Thallatos and Leon then explain what they found in the Necroplois and how the mindless undead weren't so mindless anymore. They mention there were wights, the eyeball sentry, ghost ravens, a nightwalker, but no vampires that they saw.

The queen gives some updates on the lands to Leon and Thallatos and asks at some point to talk to Tyrrox about the guild idea he had. The Dutchess asks Leon and Thallatos about the disturbances in the northern land that they deny saying they were busy with the fey. Leon and Thallatos tell the queen once their strength is gathered our group is going back to try and stop them from attacking or invading whatever the undead have planned. Leon also drops off some books he collected to the queen for historian purposes.

While traveling to the manor Thallatos, Leon, Patrick, and the twins see something approaching the siege crab rather fast kicking up a large dust cloud. Patrick charges it and sees that it's metallic. One of the twins loads the ballista but it ends up being Tyrrox that caught up with the group and says hi but continues on towards Myratma. The group reaches back at Heavenforth Manor seeing the remenants of a party because it is the new year. The outer wall is finished and they are working on the guard towers. Leon goes to Helena and also talks to the Nyms about how the undead might be causing the drought. Thallatos talks to his girlfriend Alice/Elica and fills her in on everything that the group has done.

Leon decides to make a deal with his Hellish master to gain power and only tells Thallatos who is hesitant, but agrees to help when Leon does this that night. Patrick proceeds to explore the castle.

Back at Maegors cavern Tyrrox gets inside but doesn't see Maegor and some of his items are missing so he seems to be out. Tyrrox waits for Maegor overnight hoping he returns.

At night around midnight Leon and Thallatos come into the main hall where Patrick is swinging around still. Leon tells Patrick to get some food and Patrick leaves for Goroc's old room. Leon goes to the throne room to start his plan with Thallatos.

Leon communes with Mephistopheles and asks for knowledge and power specifically wizards spells giving up more of himself like when he died. Leon sees a hallway ahead of him that pulses as he walks through to a second door. Behind it is the giant hour glass that Leon flips and then gets a horrible headache and pain and sees places and spells being cast in front of him and then finds himself back in the great hall and Leon rejoins with Thallatos and then Leon is brought to bed for the night.

Tyrrox waited overnight in Maegor's lair and Maegor never showed up so Tyrrox left a note about the armor being ordered and ready in a month and he or Tyrrox can pick it up. Also Tyrrox asks him if he wants to help with destroying an undead city, how is the ring hunt going, and if he thought about coming to the manor to stay. Tyrrox then heads back to the manor to meet up with everyone.

Back at the manor we all catch up and while talking a patrol told us that they spotted a dragon patrolling the area. Tyrrox recognizes it as Maegor and invites him down to talk. Maegor has a lead on a wish by way of a luck blade, but the blade got stolen before Maegor got there by cultists. Maegor asks some or all of us to come help him in a manor where the cultists are at to the north east. There is also a forest fire to the north.

The group then decides to go north east to stop the cultists and get the luck blade to fix Alice's memory. Then the group will head to Saradush and Tyrrox will head to the Forest of Myr to talk to his dad to get help with the drought and undead.

We make our preparations and gather our force and head north east to stop the cultists and get the luck blade. We will make one stop on the way there at Zazesspur. At Zazesspur Leon needs to go to a magic shop to get a blank spellbook, eternal wand dark vision, a headband of intellect with some additional stats tacked onto the hat he also gets.

After shopping we head onto the manor with the cultists to get the luckblade and travel through the night. The name of the manor we are going to is Tresper Hall. This is the official keep of the Duke of Kamlann and we are in there Dukedom now. However the Duke doesn't live or go there he just has staff to maintain it and visits a couple times a year. The Duke HH Une lives outside of Zazesspur.

We reach the foothills of the mountain at night and we continue on at night to find the Tresper Hall with the help of Maegor's survival skills. We get to the manor after midnight and decide to wait to get rest until the morning to move in except the twins who go ahead and scout the place out and Leon follows along invisibly but doesn't enter the manor like the twins do. Through the window they see people moving around inside the manor in robes that are dark and red in color and Leon recognizes them as demonic and are for the demon Azgothragal that is a balor.

Leon and the twins go back to the main group and tell everyone and in the morning we decide to approach the house with siege crab and Maegor, Patrick, and Tyrrox and just try to intimidate them into giving us the Luck Blade.

The intimidate goes too well and most cultists run back inside terrified except for one armored cultist and a another group of cultists that come out after Maegor's roar. Leon intimidates the leader and her men, and Maegor blasts The manor with a lightning bolt. As Leon tells the leader to get her superiors one soldier tries to grab mace on the ground, and Leon blasts it with an eldritch blast destroying the majority of it.

Soon more come out but one appears to be one of the cult leader with the demonic symbol and he goes back and forth with Leon. In the back there is a confrontation betwee mooks and Thallatos, the marilith, and siege crab and the soldiers basically are terrified and run back inside the manor.

Tyrrox charges through the ceiling into the basement and sees the cultists in a circle with the luck blade and a fireball drops on top of Tyrrox from the 1st floor and is able to shrug it off from Leon's fire resistance spell and a reflex save. Patrick charges into the manor and attacks the cultist that hit Tyrrox with a critical hit dealing double damage and breaking his ribs but they also tumble into the basement. Patrick lands fine, but the cultist lands on broken shards of floor impaling him. Maegor shoots someone on the 1st floor with his breath weapon and above Tyrrox, this woman with the green skin Maegor attacked is holding two swords and jumps down at Patrick but stumbles and her leg gets impaled on part of the broken floor.

Leon moves inside and looks around getting an idea of the insides of the building and sticks a group of enemies to the ground with a web spell. On his next turn Tyrrox charges a cultist holding the sword killing it and yells at Patrick to grab the sword. Patrick moves up and sees the sword and starts to clear the body off of the sword. Maegor turns into human and jumps into the basement. The green lady limps over to Maegor and flurries on him with a lot of attacks and none of them hit.

Leon jumps down into the hole landing on top of the green lady transferring his falling damage onto the green lady. Leon the casts a swift fireball at the cultists that also hit Tyrrox and Patrick but Patrick dodges out of the way and Tyrrox obsorbs most of the damage from Leon's resistance spell. Tyrrox lance and shield bashes the cultists around the glyph and then tries to smash the glyph and yells to Leon about the glyph on the floor. At this point Patrick sees that one of the three gems in the luck blade is cracked and a balor appears standing over Patrick and next to Tyrrox. The balor turns to Tyrrox and hits with 3/4 attacks. The balor then turns to Patrick for the whip attacks who grapples Patrick and pulls him next to him for more fire damage. Patrick enrages on his turn and tries to reverse the grapple on the balor and successfully does so. Patrick tries to start his devastating grapple on the balor. Maegor takes the tooth pick spear from behind his ear and extends it straight through the green lady. The green lady on her turn takes bleeding damage putting her close to dying but tries to push Leon off of her but fails to do so.

Leon punches the green lady with his gauntlet knocking her out and Leon moves towards Patrick. Tyrrox stabs the Balor with his lance and shield to try and free Patrick at least from its whip and hits 4/7 attacks. The Balor tries to cast power word stun in a sinister demonic language, but Patrick tightens the grapple interrupting the Balor. The Balor tries again and the spell works, but Patrick had too many hit points for it to take affect. Patrick continues grappling the Balor taking more fire damage but continues locking in the grapple dealing decent damage to the Balor. Maegor moves up to the Balor and puts his spear back.

Leon moves up to Patrick and casts stone skin on him helping him adsorb physical damage. Leon than uses his circlet to fast cast fire resistance on Patrick so that he absorbs fire damage as well. Up on the roof Thallatos feels the girls land next to him and he looks down the hole to see everything going on on the first floor and dead bodies in the basement. Thallatos casts a spell on the webbed enemies that makes them attack each other if they fail a will save. All but one fail the save and will try to attack each other. Tyrrox continues stabbing and shield bashing the Balor. The Balor on its turn vanishes out of Patrick's grip and Patrick sees him closer to the hole and Thallatos sees him fly up towards himself. Patrick does a flying spear grapple at the Balor to catch him but the Balor manages to get out of the way flying up a little. Maegor hands a rod to Leon that lets Leon cast spells quicker. Maegor then steps back and changes back into draconic form.

Leon teleports outside the house and blasts the Balor with an edritch blast grabbing its attention. Thallatos tries to cast greater harm on the Balor by making a diving touch attack staying inside the marilith but misses. The marilith attacks the Balor with its attacks critting it. The twins appear and attempt to sneak attack the Balor and one hits for some decent damage. Tyrrox charges at the Balor through the ceiling and hits. The Balor takes its action to summon another Balor. Patrick manages to grapple the old Balor and succeeds and the Balor lands on one of its wings breaking it and hurting it bad. Maegor casts lightning bolt on the old Balor but the Balor is immune to lightning so it only hurts Patrick.

Leon combines a fireball with an eldritch blast and hurls it at the new Balor, but misses unfortunately. Thallatos tries to greater harm the new Balor with a charge while being in the marilith who climbs up the wall and hits with a critical dealing insanely massive damage to it, and preventing it from casting spells and spell like abilities for 2 rounds. The twins hide behind cover. Tyrrox charges the new Balor killing it but triggers an explosion from it dealing massive damage to everyone within 100 feet which just killed Thallatos dropping him to -11. The first Balor casts a spell on Patrick but fails, and Patrick continues holding his grapple on him with a figure four hoping to pull off his death combo next turn. Maegor lands on the Balor to prevent it from squirming out.

Leon goes over to check on Thallatos with a heal check and sees he is dead. Leon goes through Thallatos' pockets looking for a scroll that is a raise dead scroll and starts casting it. The twins run over to Thallatos and talk to each other. Tyrrox positions himself in case the Balor escapes. The Balor tries to break out of the figure four but is unable to do so. Patrick uses Tyrrox's lance for leverage.

Leon continues casting raise dead. The old Balor fails to break the pin and Patrick completes his finisher but does enough to kill the Baleor!!!

Patrick goes for the blade but the building collapses on him but he has the luck blade and stone skin. Maegor also gets buried under the mansion. Tyrrox heals himself with his healing belt while Thallatos is looking down at his dead body and tries to return to his dead body. Thallatos hears something calling him and sees that Alice is talking to him through the ether. After a minute Thallatos is returned to life by Leon and starts to recover from the effects of being brought back.

While buried Patrick starts to uncover himself from the manors' rubble before his rage wears off. The twins start to play an instrument that repairs enough of the building to walk away from it. We get Patrick and Maegor out and Thallatos wishes Elica's memory back and she glows for a moment and hugs Thallatos and starts weeping and everyone hugs. Elica explains to Leon who affected her memory and Elica says her shaman spirit abbey convinced her to do this. By this she means a bowl that is a strange magic ritual that would save everyone but wasn't what happened. Abbey isn't really Abbey and he can't use the bowl again without Elica, a spirit, and a bowl. Elica caused the drought as an accomplis and was forced to be a part of it. Elica also confirms that the 1st bank of Amn was involved and where Elica went.

Some items we find are:
Mage dude that was RKOed to death
Circlet
Boots
Cloak
Scroll

Green chick
Boots
Sword - Falchion

Cult leader that summoned the Balor
Robe
2 Rings
2 Scrolls

As we leave the mansion Tyrrox talks to Maegor to have him join the manor and join the super guild.

The session ends here.

They start to head off and see a big column of smoke to the north.

Patrick wakes up and wants to investigate since Gorok is from the Moss Stone which is in that direction, so they head north.

Maegor agrees to get an aerial view of things and sees that the fire is from Moss Stone the druid grove.

Nym the druid runs up to the carriage with Thallatos and others saying that giant types started the fires, and they have dinosaurs too.

Leon then goes over to Lance's shop invisibly to buy items.

Tyrrox books it to the Forest of Mir to talk to his tribe.

Tyrrox eventually reaches the non-destroyed forest area and finds his tribe after several days. Tyrrox talks to his dad, Tanis, Timoth, Berxyn, etc. and eventually convinces the tribe to come to the castle to help with the Tethyr drought. About half of the tribe do not agree, but no one wants to split the tribe up. Tyrrox also dances and kisses Tanis for the first time.

Back at Moss Stone there are lots of dead including the arch-druid and other druids from the grove. The arch-druid died in a single combat challenge to the blue ogre mage.

Thallatos and Patrick interrogate the living Ogre(s) and one was Biff the skullcrushing ogre.

Thallatos invites the remaining druids to the castle and they eventually accept.

Leon meets with the queen and talks to her about the drought and how Amn caused it and we need the bowl used in the ritual with a ghost and the spirit shaman Elysa though Leon doesn't tell the queen who she is or where she is other than saying she is with the group. Leon does mention that Elysa was mind controlled to do the ritual against her will.

Leon also mentions how he has to talk to a privateer captain.

Leon also mentions his study of arcane magics including a hellfire fireball and the queen is intrigued by his spells.

Leon leaves finally and the session ends.

X.P. to be determined.

Session 42 1/25/2020

Leon casts sending to contact merkrackendragonman and ask for help

Leon uses wish to permanently fill the water tower with magically nourishing water.

Tyrrox told Helena about his family coming and left his dad a note asking him to help the keep.

Cleric Nym agrees to help in this fight vs the ogre mage but we have to wait a day.

Tyrox realises his family is still a week out.

We decide to take druid nym as well, meaning the team for this will be Leon, Tyrrox, Cleric Nym, Druid Nym and Maegor.

Leon teleports to druid grove alone to scout and maybe find arch druid body.

Finds the druids body easy enough, and takes his hand, then heads north to try and find the ogres, but fails to do so at first.

After 3 hours of searching leon finally finds the fey he previously defeated and forced into a contract, tearaway, after some amusing back and forth i get him to agree to lead us to the enemy if i bring him a living shark, i then head back to the keep.

Meagor recounts the ogre battle to tyrrox and the others at the Keep.

Leon talks to helena about stuff in the morning, she isn’t happy, as usual.

We teleport to the cost, meagor catches a hammerhead, druid Nym casts air breathing on it and we tie it to tyrrox and head to the meeting place, tearaway insists on eating the shark alive before he leads us to the ogre.

When we arrive to the camp, leon flies ahead invisibly and finds that its a small army, hundreds of creatures of all sizes.

One team huddle later leon sends a message to the queen advising her of this force, she responds that she knows but appriciates the extra info, and says that back up is coming from land and sea.

The group decides to wait for the backup, tyrrox goes to warn the areas duke, as he’s leaving leon spots a patrol of redcaps heading semi-towards them, he shepards the group away from them, but they find our camp, so Leon is forced to incinerate them with his new spell Hellfire Sphere.

Tyrrox travels to Tulmene to warn them and maybe get help from its duke, who turns out to bee a teenaged girl who is star struck by Tyrrox. She’s hesitant to send people out because she doesn’t have a lot of man power, but she agrees to send out 25 troops by boat. Lead by a dwarf named “Frumpy Bumgar”

Then next day tyrrox returns to the group, thalatos and his followers arrive as well, we discuss what to do, leon messages the queen asking for an update, as well as bugs her about the duke of zazz again, he learns that backup is still a day away, and that there was another attack in the northeast, he sends another message asking for more details, and further rants about the duke of zazz, she says a unknown force, probably mercs attacked and that theyre powerful.

The group decides to do this one their own now that the whole team is here. The idea is that leon, tyrrox and patrick will be the vanguard, and that thallatos will come in as the hammer blow that shatters them. Hopefully it works.

It did not.

Thanks for posting this. I'm dealing with a bit of carpal tunnel pain right now, but once that eases up I'll try to get my version posted.

[leon]

putting this out here before we all forget.

Ogre Mage #2 started the fight with a regular invisibility spell, flying near to leon, then hitting him with a disintegrate, which was reflected back on her, she was then blasted by leon and teleported away, a couple rounds later she was back and near to fully healed, she cone of colded leon, which was calculated to run out his spell reflection (i may have misremembered the order of these last couple events) she then cast force cage on leon, which he teleported out of, and after leon taunted her she hit him with a instant death spell, i personaly dont remember what it was but leon did identify it before it went off. Thalatos then hit her with several fog spells, we're unsure if she teleported again or just turned invisible and flew away.

thalatos encountered some sort of golem or aberration that constantly Turned Undead, as well as something else that could burrow and blast open holes in the ground and even solid stone but Thalatos's(and allies) repeated use of wall of stone, move earth and so on slowed them down and a well placed spirit wall drove them off for now.

on Tyrrox's end his opponent while big and beefy didn't have much in the way of tricks that he used, only taking a gaseous form.

Session 43 – 9/25/2022

I think this covers the main points, but if I missed anything feel free to add or edit.

The session starts after the battle with the ogre’s army where Leon fell in battle.

Thallatos, Patrick, Tyrrox, the Twins, Frumpy, and the remaining survivors of the battle in session 42 gather up Leon and head back to our camp, gather everyone there including Nym and head back to Countess fan girl’s keep.

At the keep we rest, and the next morning Leon is brought back to life by Nym who prepares resurrection. While dead Leon is forced to give something up or do something to allow his soul to be resurrected, so he agrees to get the sword from the female ogre mage and hand it over to someone that will claim it once we beat her. Leon also deduces that its possible he would have been able to sign over his unborn child’s soul to come back but ignored that as an option.

Once back alive Leon says he can’t die again and teleports to Darromar to buy more diamonds for resurrection spells as well as 144 cure potions from Lance. He also grabs a handy sack to store the potions in as well as some scrolls and spends the rest of the day copying the scroll for a spell and the next morning teleports back to the keep.

While Leon is gone, at the keep Thallatos, one of the twins, and Tyrrox decide to head off and launch a small strike on the monster army to lure them to the keep, attacking the group. We decided to do this because Maegor discovered on a fly over recon that the army of archers from the queen is on a collision course with the monster army.

The cloudkill Thallatos drops, the poison arrows the twin launches from the back of Tyrrox seem to do the trick as the army grinds to a stop and the next day launches an attack at the keep. However, before the attack happens everyone at the keep digs a pit and fills it with spikes thanks to Frumpy and his troops. The countess also plans to play a song to strengthen the wall and door of the keep stopping whatever was burrowing underground, which we find out in the battle is a beholder and some other monsters, but just the beholder can appear in battle.

As the battle breaks out and after the various buffs are cast including death ward, bulls’ strength, iron something or other, fly, etc. Tyrrox and Maegor are outside the keep’s wall and pit doing charges, lightning bolts, various attacks on giants and troll’s while Leon, Thallatos, Frumpy and his troops launch attacks from the wall. The countess plays music from the ground inside the keep inspiring us, but eventually the female ogre mage appears and starts attacking Leon and Thallatos and the twin up on the wall. Leon and Thallatos both attempt spells at the ogre mage but cannot overcome her SR. Tyrrox charges up to the ogre mage to help and then the beholder appears starting to cast spells at various people up on the wall.

The session ends at the top of the round and the battle will continue next session.

session 44

OMage casts force cage on tyrrox, leon then drops his mask of flesh, flies into the air, reups his ring of spellturning and then tries to blast the OMage but rolls a 1. Thalatos healed himself, Mooks do some stuff, Patrick snuck up behind the BMage invisably, the BeholderM did a bunch a stuff to frumpy, and cone of colded Thallatos.

Top of the next round the OMage crits a disintegrate on leon but its reflected back at her, it passes her SR, but she also passed her Fort save and takes 60 dmg. Patrick appears and announces he now worships The Ragma, then rushes the OMage and huricanranas her into the BeholderM, Leon tries to capitalize on this with a hellfire sphere, sadly, frustratingly, the OMage SR negates it, but the BeholderM takes full damage. Thallatos dispels the force cage and siege crab claws at the OMage. Mooks do stuff, Tyrrox, now free charges the BeholderM and hits with both lance and shield, knocking it out.

The OMage is knocked out, Patrick went to pin the BeholderM, Leon takes the opportunity to cast Leon’s Hellfire chains on the Omage and it actually kills her for real.

Leon and Thallatos then turn their magics on the enemy forces en masse, decimating them.

Leon takes the OMage’s sword, and Thallatos goes to work raising undead.

Tyrrox takes the countess for a ride to calm her down but runs into Talltankard and his paladin force, he escorts them to the keep and introductions and plans are made.

During leons mandatory 1 hour of sleep he is awoken by a presence, it says he was sent by their benefactor to retrieve the sword, leon tries to get some information but only gets that he’s happy to stay as long as needed, its a reprieve from the cold. Leon hands him the sword and says “heres the thing, your boss screwed me over and he only said i needed to hand it to you.” then leon blasts him with a full power eldritch blast, it crits and does nearly 100 damage killing it instantly. Leon then casts dispel on the sword and shatters it on the wall, then goes back to sleep.

In the morning leon, Tyrrox, Thallatos and Talltankard talk strategy, its decided that talltankards’s men will go to Vellen while we go after the main force. Leon sends a message to the surviving Ogre “we offered peace, you refused, now your mate and beholder are dead, turn back now, Amn is not your ally.” he responds that he’s going to burn the country and blah blah blah, the team gathers to do some last minute planning, Leon tries to play wingman for druid Nym who stays behind and we set off.

It doesn’t take long to find the enemy, we charge. Cleric nym casts blade barrier over 200ft past the enemy lines keeping them from fleeing, leon casts Ironguard on Tyrrox then flies into the sky. Tyrrox charges some bug creatures that turn out to be rust monsters, luckily his equipment survives so far, but then he’s attacked by dino riding orcs, then more rust monsters go after him. Patrick blows on his Horn of Valhalla, summoning 4 barbarian spirits who run into the fray, he then jumps past the mooks and goes after the first hill giant he sees. Thallatos casts acidic fog at the end of the blade barrier and has his undead attack.

Tyrrox bravely runs from his enemies allowing leon to blow them up. Tyrrox and Patrick see a pair of purple skinned giants near the blade barrier. Suddenly they teleport to flank tyrroxs and attack him. Nym runs from a rust monster. Thallatos has his minions move forward and attack, they’re brutal. Thallatos gets down with the merilith. Patrick brutally kills his hill giant, tyrrox angles his charge into the sky and gets away from the giants, leon blasts both eldritch giants, they live and two more show up from the other side of the blade barrier.

The new eldritch giants try to dispel both tyrrox and leon, they only got tyrrox’s fly, but got all of leons active spells. Then a pair horrific scorpion monsters appear from underground and attack the siege crab, though they dont do much damage, the twins drop down and attack one of them dealing significant damage as a team, but a second pair of scorpions show up and attack them.Patrick lets go of the hill giant he mangle then charged up the back of one of the original eldritch giants, slamming its head into the ground and then pummeling its face.

Thallatos casts spirit wall in the distance, 50ft behind the blade barrier, it forces fleeing enemies into the blades in a gruesome combo. His undead pile on to the weird scorpion monsters doing some real damage, killing 2 of 4. Leon then finish off one of the eldritch giants, tyrrox then charges the other hurt E. giant, killing it.

The scorpions attack the twins, the twins and nym attack back, finishing them all off. Thalatos’s forces moved up, thallatos himself casts Harm on one of the new eldritch giants. Leon repositions and hellfire blasts both new eldritch giants and a hill giant, tyrrox moves and sees that Syphilus has captured count of greenshores who we met previously. Syphilis curses Patrick and sends out a shadowy creature that debuffs anyone adjacent to it. Nym casts earthreaver on the enemy giants and Syphalus(and his hostage). Leon has a dilemma and makes the hard choice to be efficient, he hellfire spheres the remaining enemies, killing the hostage, this frees tyrrox to let loose on a full charge on Syphalus.

The eldritch giants attack thallatos’s undead giants but deal barely anything. But Syphalus throws out a devastating assault on Tyrrox. Patrick hears a WOO! In the distance and charges off to face his challenger, they ritualistically showboat and WOO! at each other to start their match. Thallatos’s undead finish off one of the eldritch giants and he deals the surviving one some negative levels.

Back to Tyrrox and Syphalus, its come down to a brutal slobberknocker, both barely standing, but our horseman comes out ahead, proving he is infact Legendary.

We move back to the match between the wrestlers, Patrick starts off with a flurry, but only is able to land a single blow, in response his opponent lands several strong blows. Patrick retaliates with a grapple but has trouble cinching it but on his third try he’s able to lock him in with a scoop slam into a sleeper. He kicks out breaking the pin, and then fully breaks the grapple and then taunts him, patrick continues his attempts to grab him, failing multiple times before getting him once again though the giant once again. This continues on long enough that thallatos starts using negative levels to weaken the giant and nym casts remove curse on Patrick to bring him back to full strength. After an excruciating back and forth Patrick snaps his opponents neck, gaining a new medallion.

As we finish the night a golden warrior descends from the sky infront of tyrrox and offers to transfer the power of his slain foe to him, granting him superhuman, or supermonster if you will, abilities. Tyrrox agrees, Syphalus’s body and gear lose all their magic and enhances him on a fundamental level.
