We rolled well on the skill challenge through the desert (which our DM ran and described very well). When we got to the oasis with the Elf on the rock high Perception checks let us figure out from afar that it was a trap. I played Tak'Tha and couldn't hit a damn thing with my attacks but everyone else did pretty well. The first major attack by the Elf on the rock the DM rolled a 1 so we got to skip out on a first round of big damage. The minions went down quickly thanks to Inevitable Shot from me and Hand of Blight from Tomas. The non-minions both went down from OAs when they tried to run once we bloodied the main Elf guy and he tried to run under cover of a sandstorm.When we got to the cave our rogue Dai'Lo rolled a natural 20 on a Diplomacy check and the player did some good role play in addition so the Gith didn't fight us. Tomas was right next to the hole in the floor when the Tembo grabbed him and pulled him down the hole. He got hit hard and then was reduced to 0 HP from the Tembo's aura damage. The Tembo then jumped up to fight us on the top floor where Kuori and Dai'Lo kept it busy while I jumped down and revived Tomas. Thanks to Dai'Lo's Implanted Suggestion they bloodied the Tembo and it did it's shadow disappearing trick. I was helping Tomas up out of the hole when it appeared next to me. I threw Tomas up and got smacked by the Tembo.Now that he had some HP back thanks to that awesome Amulet of Life he cursed the Tembo and hit it with Ashen Scourge for pretty hefty damage. I used Storm of Spirit Shards and added in my bow's poisoning effect and finally landed a good hit. Kuori jumped down and landed a good attack followed by Dai'Lo who got the Tembo with one attack and used an AP for a second attack but missed. Then it was the Tembo's turn and just when we thought we were in for another beating my 5 poison damage killed it.It was an awesome fight and lasted a while because two of us were out of action and not dealing any damage for a few rounds. We ran late so we missed out on the last encounter but I think the adventure was pretty fun. If we had to fight the Gith in the cave I think the Tembo battle would have gone badly. The character's weren't great for the adventure but I don't think they were bad at all. You had to get a little creative with how you used powers but I think we all had a good time.</blockquote>
