LA takes up just one side)* Anixiel - shadow dragon wyrmling | Psion-kineticist - I wont get into the craziness of his build... but "Nixie" is a Gargantuan Tank who can blast if need be.* Arinthalas - Elven Ghost Fiend of Possession (PrC slightly altered to work) 6 / Master of the Unseen Hand 5 | Wilder 7 / Thrall Herd 9 - my PC and the unseen leader of "Team Maligant".  I play her up as a Banshee... psionic blasting as screams (alot of sonics or mindthrust or physic crush)* Arrowhawk - Shadowy Spellwarped Coure Eladrin Rogue1 / Monk1 / Warblade1 / Contemplative1 | Cloistered Cleric 8 / Ruby Knight Vindicator 8* Harbinger 91 - Shadowy Stony Maug Warblade (aka, Mr Not Appearing in this Module as his player is DMing it).* Joox Catseye - Tiefling Cleric of Loki* Maligant: vampiric Elf Necromancer-type, Thrall of Arinthalas (in character, he appears to lead his entourage)* Tanith: Lillend Wilder* The Fool: vampiric spawn of Maligant, human Warblade / Iaijutsu Master.  Is your "typical anime swordsman".Encounters thus far... (Spoiler Vision)* [spoiler] 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.[/spoiler]* [spoiler] 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. [/spoiler]* [spoiler]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 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />).  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 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />).  Arrowhawk, Joox, Maligant, Tanith, and Nixie finished of the Dragon (it only had something like 800HP).[/spoiler]* [spoiler]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. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  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.[/spoiler]* Further Encounters - haven't fought 'em yet... please keep any spoilers about these in Spoiler Blocks.I'll update the above as we go through the rest of the Module.edit: put up Arrowhawk's buildWe play tomarrow night, I promise to take better notes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
