#123 - Quicksilver Hourglass - Your experiences?

Lich & Crawling Heads - Arrowhawk put up an AMF and charged the Lich. The Fool tumbled to the Lich and performed a "Ballista Throw", tossing him to the rest of the party. Nixie finished off the Lich with a full attack. Party went through the portal... Nixie lost his head to a Crawling Head. The Crawling Heads came through the portal. The Fool dispatched the first one. Maligant put up a Blade Barrier in front of the portal that destroyed the rest of (the badly wounded) Heads as they came through. Maligant cast a Sending and requested one of his peeps to come and rezz Nixie.

Glooms & Advanced Barbed Devils - A gloom tried to sneak attack the Fool and he cut it down (Robilar's Gambit + Mercurial Strike + Iaijutsu Focus). Ownt. Arrowhawk annhilated another of the Glooms. Joox and Tanith did some blasting. Nixie ate a Barbed Devil (that had to hurt). Maligant tried to be cool and finish the last barbed devil but ended up at 20ish HP and I think Joox ended up finishing it off. The DM said something OoC about a "named Gloom" getting (running) away.

Advanced 1/2 Fiendish Great Wyrm Black Dragon & Super Bouncy Ball - Arrowhawk got nailed by the Gargantuan Ball of Corpses that was bouncing around the room and made his Fort save to not be absorbed/stuck(?) to the Ball. The Fool, unable to fly on his own, stuck to the way (delayed). Joox & Tanith were hit with the Dragon's Acid BW. Arinthalas (possessing Maligant's Scythe) teleported Maligant to the Dragon and he hit it with a Maximized Shivering Touch... reducing it to -8 (0) Dex. At this point the group discussed that spell and all agreed to throw it out of the game (I was cool with this), so we Retconned Maligant's Turn... foolishly I hit it with a Harm Spell (instead of Retconning the whole Port up to it ). The Fool finally acted and stuck the Super Bouncy Ball in a Force Cage (read from a scroll). Joox and Tanith blasted the Dragon.

Next Session: I don't remember the rest of this fight too clearly. Maril d'Tasserhal (one of Maligant's Vampiric Spawn - Ur Priest) had come and granted Nixie a True Ressurection and then supervised some lackeys as they excavated the Con-damaging Stone from the first room (Maligant has a Keep in the works ). Arrowhawk, Joox, Maligant, Tanith, and Nixie finished of the Dragon (it only had something like 800HP).

Ivirere, vampire queen & Uvuudaum(s) - We'll be wrapping up this fight next session. It is worth noting that the DM threw 6(!) extra Uvuudaums (800+ hp each) at us since we had stomped all over the previous encounters. I don't remember this fight too clearly, alot of things happened.... some highlights...

- Arrowhawk dropped Ivirere during the Surprise Round.
- The Uvuudaums prevented half of the party from participating for a few rounds with a well placed Wall of Force.
- the Fool dropped into the room and put up an AMF covering Ivirere's gaseous form and Arrowhawk. Preventing the Uvuudaums from unleashing a massive amount of spell damage on the duo.
- Arrowhawk moved and Disjuncted the Walls of Force, also debuffing the Uvuudaums and Tanith.
- Nixie barely got to act once (spent... 4(?) rounds inactive due to Walls of Force)
- Maligant was pretty ineffectual this fight (he soaked up HP and Harmed one or two of the aberrant outsider things. Arinthalas screamed at a cluster of Uvuudaums hitting them all for about 90 with cold.
- fairly early on, Tanith blasted the lot of the Uvuudaums with a fireball(?). Within a round or two she was dead.
- Most in the party seemed pretty hurt, so Arrowhawk (with some minor help from the Fool) went "Super Nova" killing 4 (all previously wounded) Uduudaums in a single round. (Arrowhawk did some uber-charge routine... twice. The Fool super-leapt from one wall to the other, slicing an Uvudaum in half and granting Arrowhawk a White-Raven-Tactics in the process. Arrowhawk charged the fourth and penultimate Uduudaum, dropping it).
- just one of these Epic Monstrousities left... I'm thinking we'll feed it to Nixie.
