Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9479322" data-attributes="member: 508">In last night's "Ghourmand Vale" session, the PCs:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Opted not to undergo the 20-day trek to the location of the sage capable of determining how best to destroy the ring of the Pomarj we took from the half-orc barbarian last adventure, instead having my sorcerer teleport everyone to Greyhawk City (where we spent the night, and my sorcerer bought that robe of the archmagi he's been wanting), then have the elf druid wind walk us to the town over seven and a half hours the next day</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Arrived in the town in the afternoon, got directions to the Marquis' dwelling (we already suspect he'd a horned devil, given his name is an anagram of "horned devil"), and headed that way</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Were met by a male human commoner, female human commoner, male elf druid, and female elf wizard approaching  from the opposite direction, who were under attack by a troll who popped out of the flooded creek bed</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Became suspicious when the "elf druid" cast a scorching ray spell at the troll (the elf wizard did as well, but that would have been normal)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saw a red dragon come flying down out of the sky to land nearby</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had my sorcerer attack the red dragon with a maximized cone of cold spell, accidentally catching the invisible bone devil who had been crafting the illusions of the dragon (which my sorcerer's grackle familiar informed me was in fact an illusion) and the troll in its area of effect</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Discovered the four people were actually barbed devils cloaked in illusions</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Took out the bone devil with a second maximized cone of cold spell, while the elf archer started sniping barbed devils from her carpet of flying</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had to prop up the half-elf paladin and the halfling rogue (and their two players!), who were terribly disappointed when using melee weapons against barbed devils dealt damage to them as well (my nephew now absolutely hates barbed devils!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mostly cut the barbed devils down with ranged spells and arrows, since their immunity to fire made the halfling's fireball necklace useless and their high AC prevented her from getting much damage in with her short swords (the fact they had imbibed potions of see invisibility didn't help, as it made her magic bracelet of greater invisibility useless as well), but eventually killed them all (the paladin just sucked it up and dealt damage to himself each round so he could deal more damage to the devils)</li> </ul>Now we have to decide whether we want to heal up overnight and go after the horned devil next session at full strength, or attack immediately before he has a chance to set up any defenses (he's been scrying on us, so he knows we're coming), without the spells/slots cast during this session being available.  But we've got until next Wednesday to figure that out.Johnathan</blockquote>
