Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9480690" data-attributes="member: 508">In today's second adventure, "Stuck in the Middle with You" - which occurred a few days later - the PCs:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Started in a drow city built upon a wild magic zone, with a Temple of Telgrane (this world's God of the Sun and Knowledge) dedicated to studying the effects</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had their traditional heroes' feast altered by the wild magic (everything tasted like garlic), which resulted in the opposite effects than normal</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Approached the Temple of Telgrane on their way out of the city when a mob of fleeing drow came running away from the temple, closely followed by a massive flesh colossus composed of the bodies of numerous creatures (humanoid and animal)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Approached the flesh colossus close enough that three of the PCs were temporarily stunned by the telepathic field it emanated (composed of scores of screaming victims merged into the colossus)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the elf sorcerer erect a prismatic wall directly in front of the flesh colossus to prevent it from absorbing the body of the stunned spellsword, who was right in front of it</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the dwarf cleric slay the colossus with an implosion spell (that was anticlimactic!), at which point two figures were all that remained, each clutching a magic gem in their hands: a drow cleric and a drow wizard, both colleagues from the Temple of Telgrane</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Watched as the two attacked each other (while yelling back and forth at each other, to the point the PCs who understood Drow could piece together their backstory), then the cleric/paladin, once he was no longer stunned, used a control winds spell to toss them both into the prismatic wall spell, which slew them both</li> </ul>The whole thing was due to the wizard blaming the cleric for having stolen the last of his cookies months ago, the cleric denying it, and the wizard crafting the two gems, which were to link their minds together so the wizard could read the cleric's memories to prove he'd stolen his cookie - but a wild surge merged their bodies together, and then they got more and more colleagues engulfed in what was eventually to become the flesh colossus.The PCs are now staying in the city long enough to testify before the fact-finding committee, which works out well because two of them had ordered magic items from the teleporting Gnomish Consortium, and they'll be easier to find if they stay in town long enough for their items to be delivered to them there.(And the cleric had been telling the truth - the wizard's cookie had been stolen by a lab assistant using an invisibility spell.)Johnathan</blockquote>
