[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5766568, member: 46017"] [B][CENTER]Session 25.[/CENTER][/B] Lamashan the 16th (Cont). As we approached the island we spotted a Chimera with a green dragon head fly to the tower of the citadel on the small island. We were able to approach unseen along the wooded shore and wade through the shallow water out to the isle. We entered through the main doors to find a hall littered with bones. The noise generated by the less stealthy members of our group (I fear I fall onto that category) must have alerted the Chimera, as he flew into the room through a hole in the ceiling and attacked. I warded as many as I could against its acidic breath. The creature was quickly defeated and I feared my spell had been a waste. My opinion on that matter changed as we climbed to the roof of the keeps tower and found not one, but two more Chimera, one with a green dragon head and another with a red dragon head. Max was quite happy as he hopes to have as many different colors as possible to have stuffed and mounted. It was a tough fight, but we were victorious. Max, always the honorable warrior, asked my permission to collect the red dragon head as I was the one to strike the killing blow. As I see all such things as a group effort I, of course, conceded any perceived rights to the trophy. There were many other useful things scattered about the creature’s lair, including a Spellbook from one Edrin Lekanus, a wizard who had served the Aspis Consortium until an unfortunate encounter with one of the acid breathing chimeras, if the state of his remains are any indication. We also found a Handy Haversack that will help store more equipment without increasing in weight. Perhaps I can stop stashing things in Max’s backpack now. He has been quite a good sport about it up to this point. We made our way back to camp. I shall have to spend all my free time studying and transcribing spells for quite some time to come, I believe. [Center]----------[/Center] Lamashan the 17th. Amivor informs us that scouts have confirmed the Merchant District is clear enough for the Pathfinders to take over exploration and we have moved on to a new district on the large central island. Many of the markings seem to indicate this was the Legal District. As we crossed the only remaining long, stone bridges from the Military District and first entered the area, we were attacked by stealthy Serpent-Folk. They seemed a little different than the others we have faced, perhaps a more primitive breed. We made our way around the north-western portion of the isle and then cut toward the center where the district’s spear stood atop the ever present ziggurat. In some places, over the ancient stone glyphs that marked the spear, someone had carved the likeness of a crocodile headed humanoid. The artist’s detailed rendition of the creatures backwards bending fingers leads me to believe it is the image of a Rakshasa. This does not bode well. While taking in the sights, we were accosted by Serpent-Folk once more. It is approaching just after noon. We now rest under the shade of the spire. [/QUOTE]
