We went to go meet a elf who was willing to contribute to our wizards school. We got to the town where he wanted to meet us and found dead towns people scattered. We went to his house and found a piece of tentacle and his diary. Upon reading the diary we found that he had found some strange book that has 3 locks on it and he had found the keys and had opened the book. The book apparentely had open a gate in the form of a door in the center of the town. We found out that it was a gateway to a pseudonatural plane and pseudonatural creatures started coming out from it and had killed the everyone in town. We found out that we needed to find the book and the 3 keys to close it. As the trees in the town were shifting to bizarre pseudonatural vegetation. We found the door in the center of the town. We opened it and went down the stairs and we were in a room with multiple doors. I started buffing the party with defense spells, and myself with Death Ward and Foresight. The paladin opened the door and outside the door were 12 psuedonatural dire rats in the hallway. After a round of battle me and the paladin were close to death, as the dire rats kept hitting us and doing mass damage. After some stradegizing(sp?) I casted shapechange and had Andrinor open the door while I was a ghost. I saw the rats and being ethereal moved behind them. I shifted back into druid form and Firestormed the hallway, killing them all. We found out that this place was a maze. We encounter some more rats, a bugbear (poor paladin was detecting evil before he attacked as I Flamestriked and killed it, hey im neutral im crazy like that.) and a few minotaurs, all of them pseudonatral. I put most of them down with maximized Flamestrikes and Finger of Death. Then my elf sense kicked in as I spotted a secret door. I listened at the door and heard something big behind it. Taking no chances I went into ghost form and got ready to see what was behind the door. Andrinor opened the door and I went in. Inside the room was a pseudonatural cyclops and was he pissed. 2 of us being epic got cocky and started attacking the creature. I, having spell penetration, greater spell penetration, and epic spell penetration, thought I would get thru any SR it has. Imagin my surprise when I was told his SR was 65!!! (13HD). Most my spells are SR Yes so I can't do anything. So the paladin and our heinz 57 (Melbane) goin to try to melee it. The paladin gets grappled and goes near death just from the damage. I end up shapechanging into a psuedonatural cyclops to try to affect it. I end up dying from the damage from 6 tentacle attacks. Andrinors dragon goes in and trys to breath on it and ends up doing only 20 fire damage to it. Melbane dropping back and pulling my body out of there while the paladin and dragon dealt with it. He casts invisible and waits for the inevitable. Soon the dragon goes down. Then the paladin has to retreat being very upset about Wermlormir. Melbane ends up casting Fly on himself and goes into the room to retrieve a piece of the dragon for rezing. He gets a scale and narrowly misses the cyclops. He casts Teleport without Error from a scroll. He pays for a True Resurrection for me. Andrinor uses a staff of life that I have to get a cleric of his deity to rez his dragon. We get a battle plan ready unbeknownest to the DM. We gets some buffing potions and I windwalk us back there. We get to the door of the cyclops and start getting the buffs ready. I ready Slime Wave for when Melbane opens the door. Melbane being invisible opens the door, and finds the cyclops there waiting to attack whoever opens the door, he ends up getting grappled and I cast slime wave. The cyclops rolls his save and fails taking 2d6 temp con damage. I roll 12 for con damage and we go into rounds. Melbane goes first but being grappled he can't do much. The cyclops goes next and starts scraping the slime off him with his 5 remaining tentacle. I go next and casts Slime Wave again rolling 12 con damage again. Andrinorgoes nextand ends up moving up and getting grappled. Then its the 2nd round. Now our group usually gives the player of Melbane a hard time for splitting his character up so much. So he uses a psion power called ID Insinuation and requiring the cyclops to make a will save or be stunned. The cyclops failes his will and is stunned dropping Andrinor and Melbane from the grapple. Being stunned all he can do is watch the Slime Wave harden on him and taking 9 more con damage as the beast falls.
Anyway sorry for the long post just really happy we got to take out our first real"epic" challenge.
