Legacy of Death Part IV: Darker than the Absence of Light

TerraDave · Jun 11, 2012

Ghen uses his action to leave (and takes the spirit with him), pleased to see the bodaks destroyed.

You all back up. (see attached).

The vats still lash. Buckthorn is missed three times (in part thanks to cover). Ghen is hit again (13 dmg, also slowed).

EDIT: its looks like, from the map, that Lucian at least got over the slowed condition...he is lucky

Nar-Heru summons his mage hand and closes the door.

If prior experience is any guide we know there is a door on the other side of the room, the one that in a previous or future time is covered by red mold. We can try and make it across to the other side or we can send nar and lucien in to see if they can deactivate the vats. I'd choose the first.

Ghen mumble something about turning invisible. Then he looks around, turns to his spirit, and asks:

"Why did we come in here again?"

Lucien shakes his head. "It took some time for the necrotic essence to flare up. If we move quickly, we may bypass it before it notices we're there. That is of course, assuming the other door opens."

Nar-Heru thinks really hard about what he saw from the vats. Can he think of any weaknesses the green and black oozes might have that we could exploit?

TerraDave · Jun 13, 2012

First, he thinks Lucian might actually be write about activating and de-activating (I know...). Also, he thinks he can reduce the power of the released energy (arcana check) if they reactivate, but otherwise, the corrupted aetherial essence is too potent for him to destroy or totally stop.

And what did Ghen say?

"I propose lucien quickly advance to where we expect the door to be, while I attempt to suppress the vats. Once the exit is clear, we can all proceed."
