Where I decide to occasionally post my gaming thoughts.
Children of the Void Session 2
Yesterday I finished yet another ‘Second Darkness’ session. Right now my party is currently on the second adventure; ‘Children of the Void’ and when the session started they were exploring the abandoned village of Witchlight. The party currently consists of a Monk, a Fighter, a Druid and a Fighter/Wizard planning to go Eldritch Knight.
When they arrived at the village, the party first encountered a group of Void Zombies who they were quick to defeat, though they took some ability damage in the process. Next up they found a group of surviving Cyphermages, as well as their old acquaintance Samaritha holed up in the tower. After a brief meeting the party; who were low on resources from dealing with the zombies and a random encounter with an assassin vine, rested in the tower. The druid rested to regain spells while the other three assisted in fortifying the tower itself, as the Cyphermages described terrible ‘blue beasts’ that attacked them early after their arrival.
With the party monk outside the tower gathering materials, the Akatas (blue four legged old-onesque wolf things) burst out from the woods to attack. The monk was bit twice by the creatures before pushing into the tower just as the heroes closed the door. As they held the entrance and heard the scratching sounds of the creatures outside, the party cauterized their monk’s wounds as two of the party members held him down and the druid used one of her few remaining Produce Flame spells.
Immediately following the cauterization, the creatures had begun to dig their way into the tower; starting with three getting in. A violent combat erupted as the party avoided getting bit, while fighting off more and more creatures that dug their way in. Suddenly everyone was shocked as the tower began to lean to its side!
Pulling up the stairs of the tower, the main fighter of the party held off the oncoming creatures for a short time before the whole tower fell on its side. With the floor now gone, another fourteen of the creatures entered the tower. The fighters and monk held back the creatures while the druid attempting to prevent the tower from rolling with a Gust of Wind spell. The spell gave them a bit of time, and the fighters were able to carve up a few more of the Akatas, but then the tower went into a rolling descent down the nearby cliff.
In the end, the monk and fighter/wizard had successfully escaped while the remaining fighter and druid braced before crashing into the waves below. Luckily for them the sea water acted as acid to the creatures, and the two were able to swim out of the sinking tower. Samaritha made a hasty escape as well, sadly her two fellow Cyphermages were both brutally killed by the fall itself.
Following the fall of the tower and their regrouping, the party had no choice but to go visit the camp of Clegg Zincher. I swear they think he’s the coolest NPC ever designed…
