Message: <blockquote data-quote="PHDungeon" data-source="post: 5057338" data-attributes="member: 86320">I forgot to mention a couple of things regarding session #7 and the final fight against Flagg. It was certainly the toughest fight the heroes had faced. They had fought their way through several possessed, while a huge battle between the remainder of the possessed and the watch raged around them, to get to the section of the catacombs where Flagg had been hiding. Flagg first sent in more of his minions, including an ogre that had been possessed by one of the golden skulls. This proved to a tough fight, and it was made worse when Flagg began reigning fire magic down on them from a balcony that looked over the room they had been fighting in. Their elemental powered clockwork armor helped protect them from the fire, but they were hampered by the fact that the elementals did not seem to be fully bound to the armor and were causing them trouble with electrical backlash and gears jamming in the suites (they thought that I was very evil to give them cool homebrewed power armor that fired blasts of fire and electricity and then have it malfunction on them in a harmful way. It was very paranoiaeque for those familiar with that fine rpg). At any rate, they did their best against Flagg, but they were battle weary, and he was extremely fast and hearty (high defenses and plenty of hp). At some point during the course of the fight each PC was reduced to negative hp, and by the time guard and Gold Lion knights had finished dealing with the possessed and come to help the PCs there both Torfinn and Bjorn were unconscious. Darren and Bella were both badly wounded as well. Luckily Flagg decided to retreat at this point. Darren pursued Flagg up a flight of spiral stairs that led to an abandoned church of Rao that sat above the catacombs. However, when he reached the top of the stairs he found that Flagg was already dead. His golden skull was missing and there was a sprig of mistletoe in his mouth and gold coin with the symbol of Loki sitting on his chest. If I had pushed a little harder and been real nasty I could have landed a kill or two, but I showed some uncharacteristic mercy. They each got beaten within inches of their lives, but they persevered in the end, and I think they were satisfied with the overall outcome, even if they didn't manage to land the killing blow. They knew going in that they were a little over their heads, so I think they were just happy that they managed to escape with their lives.</blockquote>
