[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7551682, member: 6853819"] [B]Session 19 – The Road Out[/B] [OOC]This the last session for Jorvis and Boreal (an Welby) as the players are moving away.[/OOC] Looking into the room it appears to have been picked clean by oozes, but we can’t see anything in there. I step forward and place the spell gem with the Remove Curse spell in it. The moment I place the gem an earth elemental emerges from the wall and attacks. Followed shortly by a second then third. We manage to dispatch each one easily enough, only Jorvin takes much of a beating, and as each one is dispatched a Galeb Dhur emerges from the ground and takes up a guarding position. All three forming a circle around the altar. As the last Elemental falls something else emerges from the altar, something I have never seen before, but I think it is a dao. As it appears it says, “I am here to guard this place.” And I reply, “We are here to cleanse it.” My response seems to aggravate it and it attacks, a devastating swing from the dao leaves me on the floor gasping for breath. When I draw on my magic to teleport away from the dao I make a disturbing discovery about the faerzress, something tries to come back into this, plane with me, I am lucky this time that whatever it is cannot, but I it is something to keep in mind. The dao proves to be a tough opponent, dealing horrific wounds to some of us, but worst of all to Jorvin, who is turned to dust by the attack. As we fight the creature he asks why we are doing this. I counter with the same question and he replies that he owes Ogremock a favour.
