Session 18: Brain Drain

 


PCs:

Causticas the elf, F2/MU2

Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F4


SESSION REPORT:

    On Wealsun 11, the party decided to travel to Hochoch to recruit a thief to help them get through lock doors or find hidden ones. Besides that, they also employ some met-at-arms to guard the mayor's house for the time they will be gone.

    They returned the next day and they immediately headed towards the cult's dungeon. In the 1st floor they didn't meet any resistance. However in the 2nd one, the cultists were ready to fight them. Even worse, among them there was a cleric and a wight. While the party prevailed, the terrible undead managed to drain a level from Korin and from the elven companion of the mayor, Dorian. 

    Once they have destroyed their opponents, they released some prisoners and they searched the room where the cultists ambushed them. They found a secret door behind a snake altar but didn't follow through. They returned to Orlane to regroup and they will be back as soon as possible.


LOOT AND KILLS:

Loot:

24 gp

Kills:

1 cleric

1 wight

12 cultists


DECEASED PLAYER CHARACTERS:

Urikas the elf, F1/MU1, Readying 25, 576 CY, eaten by ghouls

Zyla the elf, F1/MU1, Readying 25, 576 CY, eaten by ghouls

Jack, F1, Readying 28, 576 CY, slain by the evil cleric named Lareth


THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    I was waiting for the encounter with the wight. I was really curious to see how it will play out and if any player will lose a level by it. I always have the opponents pick a random target for their attacks but Korin was unlucky. What's even worse is that since they have almost cleared out the dungeon, he was really close to go to level 5, so by going back to the start of level 3, he actually lost xp that was worth 2 levels!!

    Once again the party didn't have any problem, we had a laugh and they started to plan a way to restore his lost level, once this whole situation was over. It would be a nice way to continue the adventure and it happened organically. 

    However the dungeon is now cleared and the mighty naga awaits! The final battle is upon us!!!

Bare in mind that some details might have be mistaken because I didn't expect to write a report about it but I am so fired up by the con that I really want to share as much as I can! Also there will be major spoilers for every module I was involved in so be warned that if you want to play them in the future, skip carefully that part! Let's go then! THE TRIP     I began the journey to Germany from Athens where I live. I met Nico, my only compatriot in this adventure, at the airport on Thursday morning, the first day of the convention.

Flan healed up the injured party members and they continued searching the place.     In a room nearby, they found stairs that led down. They decided not to descend yet and continue searching this level of the dungeon. After a few minutes they entered a room where...
