[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 4667538, member: 16991"] [b]St Valentines Day Massacre (horned hold day 2)[/b] well total party capture anyway, they are slavers after all. **going to bed, details later** The party hid out having killed everything but the last two encounters. The duegar thought they were too weak to try and reclaim the fortress from the invaders, (and if they did it would waste all the cool terrain in the last 2 rooms). A surviving scout saw the party coming and alerted the last two rooms. The party dithered on choosing which one to enter first, so Murkuel had his men open the door. They got him all the way down to 20hp, but his healing recharged twice and he got out his exit, leaving a expanded guard to block the door. The Theurge got pinned in the bathtub by the party Thief, who made every attempt to drown him. before giving up and stabbing him to death. From about the fourth round, Surina was mostly holding the door closed against the dwarves trying to barge in. The door finally gave way, just as the Murkuel escaped. The fight against the second group slowly started to turn against our heroes, the elite Theurge was not going down, and the last guard lasting 3 rounds with 5 hp, while the PCs ran out of encounter and daily powers. The spined devils could not hit to save their lives, mostly due to poor target choice. Although Murkuel's healing failed a lot of recharges he returned to the fight with 70hp. He began smashing down the PCs one at a time. By the time he went was slain it was too late for the rest of the party, and they were finished off by the Elite theurge, his devils and a single surviving dwarf from the day before. One devil was unwounded, but the other 3 enemies had all been bloodied. At this point the PCs could have had their throats slit, and it would have been a TPK. This would have ended the campaign and the next game would be a return to 3.5. So instead the theurge killed only Surina and then tried to take the others captive. It took slightly longer than 5 minutes to get the PCs tied up, allowing a recharge of powers and PCs awakening with 1 hp. The elf rogue was able to escape, and fled with the healthy devil following. A skill challenge allowed him to escape. The NPC they had come to rescue used a healing word on the warlord and she was able to escape as well. They armed the kitchen slaves with crossbows and massed fire was able to bring down the devils, while the rouge bushwacked the theurge and dropped him into the water pit. Both theurges were allowed to bleed out in water, by the rogue. I hadn't noticed. They rescued the other slaves, including a elf beserker that they been offered a reward for when he was sold to the Bloodreavers, before the PCs set foot in the Labyrinth. He was immediately tagged the Paycheck Barbarian. [/QUOTE]
