Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9688522" data-attributes="member: 508">In this afternoon's final session of my "Dreams of Erthe" campaign, the PCs:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Used the elf necropolitan sorcerer's staff to cast two passwall spells to create a passageway into the room on the other side of a secret door they couldn't get to without being seen by 200 or so demiliches</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fought and defeated the jade colossus guarding the chamber beyond</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Placed a wall of force across the secret door they were unable to use, to ensure nobody else could use it</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Found a chamber with five teleportation circles, each of which led to either a satellite of solid calcimortum (solidified rock from the Negative Energy Plane) in an equatorial orbit around the planet, or the one directly above the planet's north pole</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sent the human necropolitan bard/rogue invisibly to the first equatorial satellite, where he snuck up behind the drow necropolitan fighter guarding the antenna array attached to the calimortum satellite, and killed him with his rapier that allows him to crit undead</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tried the same tactic against the drow necropolitan rogue guarding the second equatorial satellite, but didn't slay him in one round, and had the half-orc mummy cleric/paladin come in to aid him</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ended up sending the other PCs to the other equatorial satellites (except the dwarf vampire cleric, as the sunlight would have been lethal to her; she sealed off the teleportation circle room with a wall of stone when she heard reinforcements trying to break through the secret door - good thing it opened inward and was blocked by the wall of force)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fought drow necropolitans on equatorial satellites 3 and 4, and discovered the first three satellites were in perfect alignment but the 4th was being placed into alignment by Mother Bones (a drow lich cleric who's never trusted the PCs) atop a death tyrant using its telekinesis ray</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slew the death tyrant, leaving Mother Bones hovering above the satellite, and ganged up on her three-to-one to take her out</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the elf necropolitan use polymorph any object spells to turn the calcimortum satellites into harmless granite</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slew the necropolitans, then advanced upon the north pole satellite, guarded by a drow lich wizard</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">After killing him, discovered the north pole satellite could be maneuvered, and set it on a collision course with the Forbidden Lands, destroying all of the undead lairing there in a massive explosion (while they used a greater teleport spell to get back to the half-orc mummy's wood colossus, which took off at high speed across the desert before the falling satellite hit)</li> </ul>At the end of the session, I had each player tell me what his or her PC would be doing for the rest of their normal lives, after they used their noble genie wishes to be restored from undeath to life.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The dwarf cleric will return to her Underdark birth village to serve as a high priestess to her deity, the God of Stone and Protection</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The human fighter/wizard/spellsword/eldritch knight will enjoy being a rich bigshot in his home town</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The half-orc cleric/paladin opted to stay as a mummy long enough for his wood colossus to walk across the Asia-sized continent, then along the ocean bottom to return to his Australia-sized continent, where he intends to destroy the undead who've overtaken a city in the middle of the continent (the result of another chunk of calcimortum which landed there as part of an early experiment by the Forbidden Lands undead); only then will he return to life with his wish</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The human bard/rogue will marry his human bard girlfriend, then travel with her across their home continent as she plays gigs in taverns and inns across the land</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The elf sorcerer will return to the elven lands of his birth and visit with his family</li> </ul>We'll be starting up the follow-on campaign in about a month.Johnathan</blockquote>
