Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Xael]

Round 6: "Don't go anywhere.", Lylamwyn says to Festrath and casts Ray of Enfeeblement at him. If he actually hits (grr...), he moves again closer to the battle and prepares to shoot at some Ghasts again. If he misses, he'll reload and guard Festrath.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Craven grits his teeth against nausea and extreme pain, trying everything he can to bring down Gnaw...

 

[Dalamar]

"Stupid *cough* things! *cough cough* Why don't you just *cough* Di- *cough cough* whatever it is that *cough* you do when I stab *cough* you enough many times," Kerwyn says and coughes as the tries to put the business end of his sword into Gnaw.

 

[Endur]

Round 8

Kerwyn, Raner, Craven, Belaver, Neshi, Lylamwyn, Toriah, and the black cat feel sick from the ghastly smell. Lenya, protected by the Dark One, does not feel sick.

11: Lenya (-6 str, not sick) fires a blast at Gnaw, but misses (6+6=12)
10: Gnaw (-22) and the unnamed ghast (-11) tries to flee from the party, drawing attacks of opportunity. Raner swings at Gnaw and hits (17+7-2-6+2=18 vs. ac 17, dmg 10) and cuts Gnaw down.

Battle ends. The undead are destroyed.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Lenya, after taking a look around and seeing, that everyone is more or less fine, heads after Lylamwyn and Festrath, kicking the prone cultist scoldingly.

“If you try that once more, you'll never run again!”

Then she goes back to detect magic at the destroyed undead.

 

[Endur]

The unnamed ghast had a half-full water skin that radiates moderate magic and moderate evil.

Gnaw had a gold ring (which Belaver appraises as being worth 25 gp).

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah bends a little at the waist, trying to catch his breath. "Tha' was not th' mos' pleasan' experience of m' life," he drawls.

 

[Endur]

In the darkness where the shadows lie ...

A group of hooded figures gather in the darkness of a basement in the depths of night.

A woman's voice is speaking,
"A traveling merchant said that the Ruler of Verbobonc is negotiating an agreement with a mercenary company. The mercenary company will collect taxes from the Gnomes of the Kron Hills. In exchange, the captain of the mercenary company will be allowed to keep one third of everything he collects.

"Chatrillion still has not returned. I do not understand why. The others traveling with him were of no account, the cowardly bartender and his friends. The only explanation I can come up with is that maybe the gnome Nierethi Poscurian was a more powerful wizard than he appeared, and his magic was more than a match for Chatrillion's rapier."

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Belaver tends to the wounded, expending his healing magics on Neshi first, but ensuring that all wounds are cleaned thoroughly and bandaged.

 

[Endur]

Belaver casts cure light wounds on Raner (6) and Craven (6). Belaver casts Cure Minor Wounds x2 on Neshi. Belaver casts cure minor Wounds x2 on Black Cat. Belaver casts Lesser Restoration on Lenya (3 str back). Craven Lays on Hands on Kerwyn. Craven casts Cure Light Wounds on Toriah (9).

As Belaver tends to the wounded, he grows concerned about the numerous bite wounds. He cleans them as well as he can, but he is concerned that some of the party members may contract infectious diseases from the ghoulish undead.
