Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9558571" data-attributes="member: 508">In this week's "Ghourmand Vale" session, the PCs:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Returned to their keep after several adventures away from town</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Were awakened at the sound of something large landing on the roof of the keep (those who slept through that were awakened by the sound of a thundering arrow the elf archer shot into a hallway wall for that purpose)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dealt with simultaneous attacks by a whisper demon (vaporous, incorporeal demon the size of a human) from the ground floor (it had simply flown through the wall of our stables and attacked our animal handler) and a sorrowsworn demon (15-foot-tall humanoid demon with bat wings) coming in through the fourth-floor balcony, after having kicked in the door to the half-elf paladin's room</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the elf archer, human sorcerer, and shield guardian take on the whisper demon while the half-elf paladin and elf druid took on the sorrowsworn demon; the halfling rogue was unfortunately overcome by the whisper demon's confusion effect and was either babbling incoherently or stabbing herself in the leg with a dagger</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Managed to take out the whisper demon first (with a combination of maximized magic missile spells and the archer's holy water arrows), at which point my sorcerer grabbed the archer and used a dimension door spell to teleport them up to the paladin's room, where they could hear fighting going on</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Took out the sorrowsworn demon - after a somewhat lengthy fight - primarily with the druid's sunbeam spells, the archer's arrows, but mostly the paladin's +3 keen flaming burst holy longsword (and several confirmed crits with the same)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Checked on the animal handler and found him dead</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the druid cast a reincarnation spell on him; he's now an orc!</li> </ul>We had some more crappy rolls, with the paladin rolling a natural 1 on his smite evil attacks (the first of four attack rolls per round when making a full attack - we're 16th level) not once, but twice in a row over two consecutive rounds, and the halfling only escaping the whisper demon's confusion effect when we slew it - she couldn't make a decent Will save the whole time.  And it turned out the DM had two more potential adversaries ready to join the fray, but he opted not to use the 17th-level cleric of Iuz due to time (it was getting late) and the allip never came up because we'd just had the druid cast a hallow spell (with death ward) on the keep the night before, so the slain animal handler didn't turn into an allip like he normally would have.Johnathan</blockquote>
