[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 409713, member: 743"] The remainder of the party begins to explore the floor where the Lord High Exultant lived. They find very little of worth, but a strange meditation mat does draw their attention. William sits upon it and begins a prayer to Heironious. He gets two words into it when a feeling of dread makes him get up and leave the stand. The party travels onward and finds themselves in another tower. This one is empty of floors or internal walls, and would be completely empty but for the mass of glowing green webs as thick as a man’s arm. Fokurt begins to work his way down the wall to investigate, but comes back up when he hers an arachnid chittering from below. As he rejoins the group topside, 4 horse-sized jet black spiders come up through the webbing and shoot out glowing emerald cords as strong as iron. William and Oskar are caught and dragged downward towards the waiting spiders. The group flies into action and the battle is joined. The spiders soon begin to take the worst of the exchange, except that two party members have been bitten and weakened by their negative energy essence, while Galrond has managed to get himself cocooned. Just as things are about to end in the party’s victory, the mother shows up. She is a massive beast the size of a house, who skitters forward and bites Oskar. The battle again shifts in the favor of the spiders. That is, until William casts a Mass Heal. The massive beast gets a few more good bites in, but it is no match for the combined might of a high-level party. The party regroups and send Fokurt back in to investigate, as the riddle earlier had mentioned that a riddle box was hanging beneath emerald webs. Sure enough, Fokurt finds beneath the mesh a huge black metal cube hanging from a tree-thick cord of webbing. He works his way around it to try to find a riddle and is surprised by the Winter Wight that moves around the corner and attacks him. The beast’s claws tear into him and set him alight with the dreaded Blackfire. Luckily the force of the blows kills his body, freeing his soul before the blackfire could snuff it out. The party, not having heard from Fokurt, head down to investigate. As William rounds the corner of the box, he too is surprised by the beast. The party fights for a few short seconds before they decide they cannot hope to defeat this thing when they are already weakened. Just as William is noticing that his wounds are healing on their own, and that his Mass Heal had no effect upon them, the group dives through a gate held open by Galrond, and into the shores of Celestia. As William steps into the surf, his legs begin to smoke as the water around them boils. Incredible pain shoots through him and the light of the eternal Sun sears his eyes. Mere microseconds before he is completely snuffed out he plane shifts to the sewers of Lopolla. [/QUOTE]
