[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8811491, member: 7030144"] Session 47 (October 16, 2022) 8 Kas (cont’d) They dash into the cavern. As they round the corner, they can see the device—it looks kind of like a rack, set to stretch things, but there are gems set in it here and there, but there are some gems glowing sullenly here and there. There is a person strapped to it, and a tendril of visible energy heading off towards the Palace of Blood. There are three large undead amalgamations of flesh, two yuan-ti with strange body modifications and ritual scarification—definitely from a different group of yuan-ti, and a human in bone armor. The yuan-ti draw short curved blades and speak to the flesh golems, apparently ordering them forward. Ravokris responds first, dashing forward and casting an Agganazor’s Scorcher at the yuan-ti, which saves and takes 6 damage. Noah shouts “For the Queen-Empress!” rages and charges the magus, while the bones in his armor seem to move under their own power to block his attacks and seek to grapple the axe. Noah shouts back, “It’s not living! Try to dispel it or something!” Elyn moves forward, casts hunter’s mark, and then shoots her longbow at the magus, hitting it for 15 damage. Her first shot hits, and her second gets snatched out of the air by one of the moving bones. The yuan-ti that Ravokris damaged slithers forward and strikes with his dagger at Ravokris, hitting easily, and inflicting 10 points of damage and poisoning the wound, though Ravokris saves. The larger of the yuan-ti does not move, but makes a series of crossing maneuvers with its hands and knives, and creates a wall of poison droplets between the group and the device. The magus’s tongue is preternaturally long, forked, and lashes out at Noah, touching him and inflicting 11 points of damage, as well as forcing two Con saves. Noah resists both successfully. The uruk rush at the yuan-ti fighting Ravokris, and hit it three times for 27 hp of damage. Sister Agnes drapes the green of her house around her shoulders, moves forward, and turns undead. One turns and shambles away. One is unaffected, moves in and grabs the resonator, and begins shuffling away. The third is nowhere to be seen. 7 round count; 5 round count. Ravokris rushes forward, dodging the yuan-ti’s attack of opportunity, and Ravokris unleashes a 4th level Aganazzor’s scorcher at the fleeing undead thing, hitting it for 20 hp. Noah continues hacking at the magus, missing once and hitting once for 17 hp. Elyn fires at the magus twice, missing both times. The yuan-ti continues to gesture and the mist of poison becomes thicker. The other hits one of the uruk for 4 damage and a saving throw that it makes. The magus casts a lightning spell at Noah, and he dodges for half-damage, taking 14 hit points of damage. The uruk hits the yuan-ti for 13 hit points of damage, with only one landing a blow. Sister Agnes approaches the bone magus, judges that it’s possessed in some way, and casts banishment. There is a loud pop [indicating that it was extraplanar, although that’s usually a quiet pop], and the bone magus collapses, unconscious, with the bone armor still standing and moving. The flesh golem thing moves through the rain of poison, and the figure on the rack gives a weak cry and probably dies. 6; 4. Ravokris hits the yuan-ti casting the poison wall with a scorcher, doing 21 points of damage. Noah rushes through the poison wall and swings his axe at the legs of the flesh amalgam, taking a mere 12 points of poison damage. He misses once, and hacks at it for 16 hp. Elyn shoots the yuan-ti caster, hitting it for 20 points of damage and 18 points of damage on the two shots. The poison wall stays up, however. The yuan-ti continues casting, and the barrier begins thickening further, obscuring sight and becoming persistent. The other attacks the uruk leader, missing twice. The armor unleashes a swarm of small bone shards through the poison barrier, attacking Noah. Two clouds of shards hit him, with a third missing. He takes 10 points of damage and makes another poison save successfully. The uruk finally cut down the yuan-ti they have been battling, killing it. Sister Agnes casts a dispel magic at the poison wall, bringing it down. The flesh amalgam keeps moving on, and Noah hacks it for another 15 damage. 5, 3 Ravokris moves forward and hits the amalgam with another scorcher, doing another 20 damage. Noah continues hacking at it, doing 19 and 16 damage in two hits, toppling the fleshy creature and causing the resonator to drop and skid a little along the floor. Elyn shoots the other yuan-ti, doing 17 hp of damage. The remaining yuan-ti rushes over to the resonator and tries to push it along the floor. The armor unleashes another blast of boneshards at Noah for 7 points of damage and a DC 13 poison save, which Noah makes. The uruk rush over and hit the yuan-ti for 30 damage. Sister Agnes casts dispel magic on the bone armor, rolling a natural 20 on the effect level, and it collapses to the ground. 4, 2, and 3 Ravokris scorches the remaining yuan-ti, albeit with a lower level spell slot, and does 9 damage after a successful save. Noah hacks at the yuan-ti, hitting and then hitting critically, inflicting 51 damage and slaying the yuan-ti. The uruks lift up the resonator and begin carrying it out. Sister Agnes examines the bones, which seem to have something incised in abyssal on them. It looks like the entire skeleton of a creature plus. Noah attacks the skull helmet. Noah spends a while smashing the bones. Sister Agnes dumps all of her holy water on it, doing 35 points of damage. Elyn stabs at the bones with the holy sword. She hits them 5 times with 2 criticals. She does 80 points of damage. Ravokris also bangs on the bones with his quarterstaff, doing 8 damage. Sister Agnes drops a few scraps of imperial green uniforms as they move. She has just rounded the corner with the uruks, as the bone armor arises once more, though in tatters. It releases another burst of shards at Noah, doing 8 damage to him. Noah slams it one last time, getting a critical hit and smashing it to pieces. They all then run like mad around the corner. Somewhere back behind them at the far end of the cavern, they here a whining sound. Ravokris recognizes it as unmistakeably the sound of a gate opening. Taking a last glance behind them, Ravokris and Elyn, with their elven eyes, can see heavily armored figures moving out of the left hand barracks alcove, with a high degree of discipline. Noah can recognize them from the description as royal guards. [End Session 47] [/QUOTE]
