Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9686685" data-attributes="member: 508">In tonight's "Ghourmand Vale" session, the PCs:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Delivered the potions and elixirs from Gladys Giltgoiter to El Brujo, an eldritch giant with a grisgol servant and four firbolg henchmen</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Refused to admit they had a cubic gate on them (it's inside the extradimensional living space attuned to the necklace worn by the elf archer), because they feel it's too dangerous to get out (it has links to the Abyss, for one thing, and a demon army once came close to using it to stage an invasion onto the Material Plane)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Heard the eldritch giant's arguments for why he "just wanted to see it" and became ultra-suspicious when he was willing to trade four powerful magic items just for the opportunity to examine it; eventually found out he wanted it to power a new grisgol, as his current one was getting fairly raggedy and it requires a lich's phylactery to power one (which allowed the PCs to figure out the cubic gate is the phylactery of a lich - yipes!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Departed El Brujo, and on the way back got swallowed by mists again and ended up in the Ravenloft-esque demiplane once ruled by a rakshasa the PCs had defeated many months ago</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fought two roguish rakshasas, one wizardly rakshasa, and a greater fihyr in the dilapidated dwelling of the original rakshasa they slew months ago</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the elf druid wildshape into a Huge fire elemental and fight the foes in that form</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Took out the wizardly rakshasa with a firestorm spell (which also killed the greater fihyr), a well-placed arrow through the left eye (courtesy of the archer, naturally), and the half-elf paladin's flying charge on his celestial pegasus</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the human sorcerer slay one of the roguish rakshasas with a chain lightning spell, and had the paladin and the halfling rogue kill the other one with their respective blades</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Did not return to the Material Plane upon killing all of their foes this time, and had to use the cubic gate to get back home</li> </ul>Next Wednesday, we're scheduled to finish off this campaign with one final adventure; I'm half-expecting the lich to show up, looking for his cubic gate phylactery.   [Later edit: it looks like we won't be playing our last session in this campaign until 16 July - something came up and Dan and Vicki will be leaving earlier than expected on their trip to visit her dad.]Johnathan</blockquote>
