Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 9889772" data-attributes="member: 27780">The githyanki's player was still off and the priestess's one had to leave just over an hour in due to easter celebrations, making this a very short session. The binder and sniper continued to explore the lawful side of the station, clearing up any remaining spinagon hiding in various corners and freeing the prisoners in area 28, but leaving the otyugh lurking in the midden untouched as not worth the bother to kill. Meanwhile the priestess and githyanki continued to fend off the waves of barbazu led by hamatula, with a single cornugon emerging from the rear of the train to watch the carnage. They tried unleashing Order's Wrath, but as  both PC's are also lawful, that did nothing. Pyrotechnics also plinked off the githyanki's armor to no effect. The priestess unleashed another mass inflict, which meant the mooks were injured enough that the githyanki's maul was finishing off two of them nearly every round. Things weren't all going their way though, the hamatula managed to hit the priestess enough to reduce her to negative hp. The first time, one of her contingency effects kicked in and she got a burst of temporary hit points to keep her in the fight, but just another round later, several natural 20's from the flanking enemies took her under again. Fortunately, by this time, the sniper had finished exploring the southern side and headed back to the station. He followed the sound of combat and she came into his darkvision range just as she got knocked down again. He pulled out one of his strongest blasting spells to wipe off all the remaining barbazu in the area, then dashed over to her to use a healing potion to put her back in the fray.  As they were no longer surrounded, the cornugon decided it was time to join the fight, first casting animate dead on the fallen barbazu so they would get at least a few more attacks as zombies, then using its spiked chain. But the sniper & githyanki combined had more than enough damage output at this point to put it down in a few more rounds, then the binder came flying over the train just a little too late to join in and finish it off with her silver sword. Since we were down to two players at this point, we decided it would be best to wrap up there and decide whether they were going to press on or try to get a rest between sessions, all too aware that they're still being scried upon. Which of the at least three directions open to them will they take? What will they do with all the prisoners they've just freed? Will they do something careless that lets Azurax get the edge over them or continue to push through his defences with minimal damage?</blockquote>
