[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 7051257, member: 18333"] Session 24 – “Knife Point Gully Again” – The party is 6th level at this point. After their rest, the group traveled for only an hour more to reach the area near Knife Point Gully. They attempted to sneak up as best they could, but pretty soon, two hippogriffs with Feathergale Knight riders were diving down upon them. As the beasts got closer, both knights jumped from their mounts backs and floated down to stand ready for attack as the hippogriffs also chose targets. The adventurers fought with these foes for a little while and the noise alerted other foes who were at the enterance to the stairway that led down to the Howling Hatred Temple. Pretty soon, Hundar, Pate, Tury and Kippi were fighting a much more dangerous battle against the knights and their mounts, 4 Howling Hatred Hurricanes with thunder boomerangs, and a Howling Hatred Priest, who also summoned 4 dust mephits. For once, Pate seemed to hold up better, not the pincushion he usually became, but later in the battle, he was momentarily blinded by a dust mephit. Tury fought bravely and took every opportunity to protect his wife, Kippi. Hundar used his magical greataxe to kill many foes, but even he took damage from thunder boomerangs, barehanded attacks and thunderwaves. At one point, Kippi was put to sleep by a dust mephit, and a Huricane pummeled her nearly to unconsciousness, but Tury protected her, and used cure wounds to keep her from going down. During the battle, Tury took a number of blows along with some thunderwave damage, and by the end of the fight, he was nearly unconscious (1 hp left). Pate used vicious mockery, and hold person twice, once failing to paralyze the Priest, but the second time succeeding. With the Priest held, Hundar ran from the foes he was engaged with, dodging their blows, and he attacked the Priest with devastating strokes, cutting this foe down. After a good minute of combat (about 10 rounds), Kippi panicking and firing off two fireballs while fearful for her own life and Tury’s life as well, the party was able to kill the last foe and search the area around the cave mouth that led to the stairway leading down. With no sign of life at the top of the stairway, the group gathered together as Pate sang a healing song. Resting for about an hour, the group restored some of its lost vitality and prepared to descend into the depths. (about 2:30 pm on the first day of Flamerule) Comments We played for about 1 ½ hours – a long battle. We only had 2 players so we had to NPC Tury and Kippi tonight, which definitely slowed things down a little. This 3500 xp battle was a pretty good test for the party. At first, we were going to ghost Kippi, but soon it became clear that her fireballs would be needed (eventhough her first fireball only did ½ damage to the foes caught in the blast, which was a measly 9 points of damage – horrible damage roll). Tury had to use all of his HD of healing, and Kippi used many too. [/QUOTE]
