[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8377407, member: 508"] So, in tonight's session we fought some undead on the Plane of Shadows just outside a dwarven city that had been shunted there hundreds of years ago, then followed a [i]find the path[/i] spell to the location of a dwarven weaponsmith's forge where the [i]Null Axe[/i] - a dwarven superweapon that can destroy the nine remaining Writhing Gates that could potentially destroy all life on the planet if used by an illithid Elder God to return to the Material Plane from the Far Realm - where we ended up fighting an illithilich (undead mind flayer) who's been trying to get into the shielded forge for the past 93 years. Highlights include: - Fighting a huecuva in the first battle who cast a [i]flame strike[/i] on all five PCs when we were all clumped together trying to take out the dread wraith. The dwarven barbarian failed his save. The dwarven barbarian was wearing a [i]necklace of fireballs[/i], which also failed its save, so the remaining beads on it exploded into flame, dealing more damage to us (and the huecuva) than the [i]flame strike[/i] had done. And then the dwarven barbarian's player asked us, "Do I need to make another save for my [u]other[/u] [i]necklace of fireballs[/i]?" It turns out since he was running low on fireball beads he had recently purchased a second [i]necklace of fireballs[/i] and was wearing them both. (Fortunately, the second necklace made its save so it didn't also go all explodey on us.) - My lizardfolk charging at the illithilich that was waiting for us outside the weaponsmith's forge and pinning its arms in a grapple that prevented him from casting spells or paralyzing anyone with his hands. And the DM had specifically statted him up as a shadowcaster from the [i]Tome of Magic[/i], expecting to be able to spring some new stuff on us that we'd never experienced before. No such luck: all he was able to do from that point on was to wriggle around ineffectively while I kept him pinned and the others pounded him to dust with spells and weapons. - Leveling up to 14th at the end of this adventure.
