Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9367699" data-attributes="member: 508">In tonight's "Ghourmand Vale" game session, the PCs:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Were hired to stand watch over a slain paladin's corpse in the Temple of Pelor overnight, while the temple leadership went up to the top of the hills to catch the first rays of the morning sun to light the torch which would then be used to immolate the paladin's body; they'd be back three hours after dawn the next morning</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Took up positions and waited for trouble</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Got alerted by my sorcerer's grackle familiar that there were people approaching, so we got one round of "combat is imminent" spellcasting in before an enemy wizard cast a passwall spell through the back wall, 15 feet up (leading onto the choir loft, where my sorcerer and the elven archer were stationed), the opening showing up directly behind the (invisible) archer</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had a human fighter, an elven fighter, a halfling rogue, and a gnome rogue enter the choir loft and head in opposite directions, two of them facing my sorcerer, who cast a chain lightning spell that killed the human fighter and hurt the other three (the wizard stayed outside the temple and was out of my range of vision)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the archer move into position to snipe the wizard outside through the passwall opening, killing him instantly with a shot to the eye</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Caught the other three intruders in the druid's wall of thorns spell; they all damaged themselves trying to escape, to no avail</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had my sorcerer kill both rogues and wound the elf fighter further with a lightning bolt spell</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Watched as a githyanki sword retrieval team (four githyanki fighters, one githyanki wizard) started dimension dooring into the temple, seeking to retrieve the silver sword the dead paladin had taken from their Astral Plane fortress years ago after it had already been taken by mind flayers (I guess it took them that long to track it to its current whereabouts)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Concentrated fire on the githyanki intruders, considering only the elf fighter was left of the "local" thieves after the paladin's sword - and he was stuck good in the tangle of thorns</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blasted the githyanki with chain lightning spells, the half-elf paladin charging over the choir balcony 15 feet down to a githyanki fighter, the elf druid summoning an elephant to gore another one, and the halfling rogue sneak attacking all over the place</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Watched as one githyanki fighter made it to the paladin's corpse and retrieved the githyanki silver sword, but killed her before she could dimension door away with it, then killed the last remaining githyanki the following round</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allowed the elf fighter to surrender to the half-elf paladin, on the condition he "turned state's evidence" against the local thieves guild he worked for</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Observed the ritual burning of the slain paladin's body the following morning</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Got some well-needed sleep (and some sweet githyanki loot)</li> </ul>And we're now close enough to 13th level that next session should push us over the edge.Johnathan</blockquote>
