[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9291494, member: 508"] In yesterday's "Dreams of Erthe" campaign session, in an adventure called "The Bride of Kapoona," the PCs: [LIST] [*]Ran into a group of 24 axebeaks in the morning and slew about half of them before moving around them and leaving the rest alone [*]Rode past a fortified orc fortress where they heard a gong sounding three times and noticed the massive gates were opening, revealing a bound drow woman being sacrificed to a giant banded lizard who had been roused from his hole in the ground some 200 feet away [*]Rode their "bonehead" (pachycephalosaurus) mounts towards the orc fortress (they were 500 feet away at the start of the encounter), while casting prep spells [*]Had the half-orc cleric/paladin (who rides an air element warhorse) dash in to rescue the drow woman (as his mount is so much faster than the others), only to have her scream in terror as she thought he was Death (having never seen a horse - especially not one made of clouds - she thought he rode a scaleless lizard, so basically a zombie of some type; not sharing any language at all between the two of them, communication was somewhat problematic, but he got her settled down eventually) [*]Started attacking the lizard once they got into range, while the half-orc untied the woman and shunted her inside his extradimensional lamp, all while the orc rangers on the walls attacked the air element warhorse with javelins [*]Noticed the orc barbarians and warriors were abandoning the walls, to head to the ankylosaur pens to ride out in combat to aid their "god," the giant banded lizard Kapoona, as some of them pushed close the right door so the ankylosaurs could get past (the doors open inwards, lining up with the stone building (barracks) upon which the gong sits, so Kapoona can't enter the rest of the fortress after devouring his sacrifice) [*]Had the dwarf cleric create a [I]wall of stone[/I] as a vertical ramp leading from the ground just outside the fortress to the top of the stone building with the gong, which prevented the ankylosaurs from getting out of the fortress and also kept the left door from being able to close (and reopening the right door still would block the ankylosaurs) [*]Took out the orcs on the walls and the gong building with [I]chain lightning and thunder strike[/I] spells (the latter being the [I]flame strike [/I]equivalent of a cleric who worships the God of the Air) [*]Once Kapoona was slain, told the remaining orcs (via [I]tongues [/I]spells; the half-orc was raised by humans and doesn't speak Orcish) they were taking the drow sacrifice and the other three male drow the orcs had captured and kept in cages inside the fortress, but they'd let the rest of the orcs live - and they'd best start rethinking their views on living sacrifices, or they might be back to wipe the rest of them out (they won't; they're on a continent-wide journey to the Forbidden Lands, but the orcs don't need to know that) [*]Left the remaining orc barbarians in a physical confrontation to decide which of them was the new leader since the old one had been slain by [I]chain lightning [/I]spells [/LIST] By the way, in this campaign, the drow are the progenitor race of the elves, and these jungle drow were chaotic neutral, not chaotic evil. (The orcs were chaotic evil.) And the PCs all leveled up to 15th at the end of the game session. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
