[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9316752, member: 508"] In today's "Dreams of Erthe" game session, the PCs: [LIST] [*]Were returning the drow woman they rescued last adventure to her jungle tribe, when they encountered a pair of hungry ceratosaurs, who burst out of the jungle on either side of the path the PCs had been traversing (on their pachycephalosaurus mounts, with the exception of the half-orc cleric/paladin, who rode an air element warhorse) [*]Had the dwarven priestess cast a [i]hold monster[/i] spell on one dinosaur, while the half-orc cast a [i]freedom of movement[/i] spell on himself to escape from the other's teeth and jaws [*]Summoned a Huge fire elemental to help fight the ceratosaurs, forgetting the burning elemental was 32 feet tall and the tree branches overhead were only about 20 feet up; they started burning down the jungle as a result [*]Finally slew both ceratosaurs (but only after the half-orc and the human spellsword got to experience being shaken like a rag doll in a predator's teeth for extra damage) and went on their way, figuring the frequent daily rains would put out the fire they'd started in the jungle behind them [*]Made it to the drow tribe and were met by a guard, who welcomed the woman back and filled her and the PCs in on what had transpired since her disappearance: a tribesman named Ranagar had challenged the chieftain to a duel to the death for leadership of the tribe at midnight tonight, but the chieftain had since slipped into a deep sleep from which he couldn't be awakened [*]Offered their services as dreamwalkers, and got the wise-woman's approval to try to wake the chieftain [*]Did their normal dreamwaking ritual (it had been a while since they'd last had to do so), and were surprised when they just "popped" straight into the dream instead of being led their by their moogle guides [*]Saw the dream taking shape before them: Ranagar was castrating a prone and naked Chieftain Vhaundalan, whose wrists and ankles were bound by hypnalis vipers, while warning him this is what would happen if the chieftain stepped into the combat arena at midnight; Alaundria was laying unmoving nearby - it turned out she was dead [*]Attacked the vipers and Ranagar with a variety of spells and weapons, only to learn the challenger had a very high spell resistance (even for a drow), was somehow immune to mind-affecting magic, and enjoyed biting his victims (leading them to believe for a moment he was a vampire) [*]Found out "Ranagar" was a dreamthief hag when the spellsword's bastard sword, which can pierce illusions, showed her for what she really was [*]Killed the vipers and caused the hag to touch her [I]book of dreams [/I](a reworked dreamstone) to heal herself of all damage [*]Dealt her enough damage in the dreamscape afterwards that she decided to skedaddle, taking several attacks of opportunity as she used [I]etherealness[/I] to return to the Material Plane (where the dreamwalkers' bodies were being guarded by their allies) [*]Tried escaping out of the tribal lair, but was brought down by a [I]chain lightning[/I] spell by the half-orc after he woke himself back up [*]Convinced Chieftain Vhaundalan that Ranagar had been in league with the hag and had tried to cheat to force a win in the upcoming fight to the death, which neither could get out of now that the challenge had been made [*]Watched (along with the rest of the jungle drow tribe) as Vhaundalan slew his challenger and ate his heart raw, and then they made diplomatic excuses as to why they wouldn't be joining the tribe in a cannibalistic feast (although they added some dinosaur meat they'd harvested from previous kills and ate that during the feast in their honor) [*]Were invited to a sweat lodge ritual by the wise-woman (who they'd freed from her own dream coma - she'd been imprisoned in the [I]book of dreams [/I]and was awakened when the PCs burned the book), where they saw a vision of a possible near future; the dwarf priestess being devoured by a monstrous plant, and turned into some type of vegetable zombie [/LIST] The dreamthief hag had been in league with Ranagar, thinking she'd assume the wise-woman's place in the tribe (it had been she who greeted the PCs upon their arrival, disguised as the wise-woman), and then rule the tribe with Ranagar as her puppet. I was afraid this would be a short adventure (it was really just two encounters), but it went almost four hours - well within our normal preferred game session time. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
