Even if Diane was able to spot and dispatch the</p><p>hobgoblin in only a bunch of seconds, the alarm is probably running</p><p>trough the temple. They will not have more time for preparations and</p><p>they will not have the time to wait for their friends. Now is the time</p><p>of their entrance into the Temple of Elemental Evil itself.</p><p></p><p>The Vestibule: </p><p>"The floor of this area is made of reddish-brown stone squares. Dim</p><p>light filters through the stained-glass windows, casting revolving</p><p>colors upon the floor. The walls are plastered and painted with scenes</p><p>befitting the nature of this despicable place - torture, murder,</p><p>enslavement, robbery, and far more unspeakable acts. The creed of the</p><p>worshipers is evident from these depiction: Evil is supreme.</p><p></p><p>Ahead, the floor stones are green, and the nave of the temple is</p><p>filled with pillars of a pinkish material, shot through with</p><p>worm-colored veins. Their arches lead to an unremarkable pair of</p><p>lesser side aisles. The columns supporting the archways, as well as</p><p>the archways themselves, are worked in relief scenes of vile</p><p>activities conducted mostly by human men and women." </p><p>--</p><p></p><p>Diane and rousing Fox chose to take the side aisles, while Ezekiel and</p><p>Killasha advance right in the middle of the temple nave. Lywen used an</p><p>invisibility spell and disappeared.</p><p>Arrows flight in the temple, Ezekiel and Killasha use their shields as</p><p>best as they can, Ezekiel magical protections are really useful here</p><p>(DM Note: he raised his Ac to something like 24, even 26 with his</p><p>shield, this is quite hard to touch for my poor hobgoblins). Diane</p><p>and Rousing Fox have another tactic, they run trough the side aisles</p><p>using pillars to get a bit of cover. When they reach the barricade,</p><p>the two of them tumble past it. (DM Note: hum, in fact it takes three</p><p>rounds to Rousing Fox whom player decided that 6 was really to hard to</p><p>roll on a d20 and preferred a 3 and 2 for the first two rounds <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ).</p><p>They are now able to consider the force they are opposing, there is</p><p>several dozens of hobgoblins, most of them have medium to bad</p><p>equipment but several of them have banded armors and big two-handed</p><p>swords. This is really a sight! And they are only five for the moment!</p><p>The odds are nearly of ten hobgoblins for each member of the party</p><p>... will they survive such a tremendous fight?</p><p></p><p>After a few rounds, the fight is at his climax. Ezekiel and</p><p>Killashalandilis are standing on the center of the hobgoblins</p><p>barricade, fighting against half a dozen of hobgoblins - several of</p><p>them wearing half-plate armors and using two-handed swords. Diane has</p><p>jumped over the barricade on the right side; she is slaughtering</p><p>hobgoblins, using her superior speed and the surprise effect (the main</p><p>force is at the center, and currently quite busy with the two front</p><p>rank fighters of the party). Rousing Fox, even if he had difficulties</p><p>to pass the left side barricade, is now fighting hobgoblins too. All</p><p>is quite a mess, but they are only four against ten times more</p><p>hobgoblins ... It is the very moment Lywen chose for a timely</p><p>intervention. Using his flight and invisibility spells, he was able to</p><p>get a good position over the right part of the barricade. And then he</p><p>launches a lightning bolt spell, it was not an easy task as he could</p><p>have fried up his friends, but will a mighty spellcraft check, he only</p><p>barely heated them, while burning to the core more than ten</p><p>hobgoblins.</p><p>The barricade is broken, only two elite hobgoblins fighter still</p><p>remain, and they are quickly killed by the duo of Ezekiel and</p><p>Killasha. Even if some humanoids still remain, Diane is able to</p><p>connect with her two friends and they catch up with the last</p><p>hobgoblins on the center and right side.</p><p>But during this time on the left ... rousing Fox is still fighting</p><p>four evil humanoids, one of them being an elite fighter, when a big</p><p>monster comes out of the stairs going down. It is a massive beast of</p><p>more than height feet high, with two strong arms and a sparkle of fury</p><p>in its eyes. They will identify it as a dire ape afterwards.

[QUOTE="Selm, post: 154760, member: 1592"] [b]Episode 10-3[/b] Episode TEN - Back to the Temple of Elemental Evil - Part 3 (A *BLOODY* mess! Alahija is captured.) In this episode and the next one, I will use some extract from the campaign book, I hope it could help you to grasp the atmosphere of the temple. As there is some very "good" descriptions of this awful place. - still Earthday, 27th Planting, sometimes you can really say that some days are longer than others - We take back our two heroes - Alahija the half-elf half rogue, half sorcerer and Gandigoot the gnome ranger - at the most crucial moment. What has been summoned into this small tower? Are they really in such a bad situation, the two of them alone? Dark fumes are still pouring from the tower entrance and they have to wait until they will be able to see trough it. Seconds and minutes seem to last for hours ... they are awaiting to see a huge demon going out at each moment ... but time passes without such a hazard. After five minutes, the fog starts to slowly decrease and they decide to try an eye into the tower basement. As he did before, Gandigoot jumps into the entrance door, his crossbow ready. But there is nothing, and none to be seen ... the ground floor is empty, except a big cauldron in its middle and a small fire under it. Some disgusting gruel is still boiling into the dark iron cauldron but that's all. No demon, no terrible sorcerer and more than anything else, nobody at all! The two heroes enter the room and quickly search for any sign indicating what has been up here before. But they don't find anything, not even a single sign of a hasty fleet. After five more minutes of inquiry, they decide to rejoin their friends and depart from the tower ... "There is still unsettled matters here.", said the gnome. But their friends have done quite a bunch of things during these ten minutes!! Really *quite* a bunch ;) The four hobgoblins guards at the wall gate have been cleaned. All seem clear to attack the front gate. They gather near the entrance and prepare for more fight while waiting for Alahija and Gandigoot. But there is still something up in the sky :) Lywen has not been able to kill the gargoyle and is still flying in escape moves, seeing his friends ready for battle, he falls to them, the gargoyle behind him. That's how, suddenly, Lywen appears into his circle of friends, coming from the air ... and crying "Look up, a just get you a gargoyle." ... and as you could imagine, a new fight followed. But a gargoyle is quite a dangerous opponent, as its skin is made of stone, most weapons can't damage it. Killasha is powerless, hopefully Diane's rapier is magical and Ezekiel uses a flame weapon spell (DM Note: lvl3 from the priest and paladin handbook DD3 ^_^). Lywen also helps his friends now that he is out of danger, casting two salves of magic missiles. Actually the beast is slain quite cleanly ... but they have used a bit more of their power ... and the real fight has not even started ... -During this time, at the temple doors, two hobgoblins are playing- "Hey, brother, don't you hear a sound outside?" said the hobgoblin guard to his sibling seated near him on the ground. "No, it must be the wind, and if anything happened we will be warned by the guard at the gate, this is the chief's plan." "Yeah, ok, you're right." "Do not waste time, roll your dices, I will get your pants before the night." "Maglubiyet! I'm not lucky today." ... sound of dices rolling on the stone floor ... "Hey there is a fight on the steps!" "Seems that you were right before. Drop an eye, I will warn the chief." While the second hobgoblin goes deeper into the temple, the first one tries a discreet approach of the broken main bronze doors. Sounds of fighting are still loud in the air, he courageously tries to get a glance on the scene, quickly coming back to cover. He was right, a bunch of humans are fighting one of the gargoyles guarding the temple roof. There are numerous and seem fiery and dangerous ... this is not good for Tanduk (yeah, hobgoblins have names :) ). But, after a bit of time the fight seems over, at least he doesn't hear those clashing sounds anymore. Tanduk hopes that the gargoyle got the upper hand, the chief does not like to be awaken unnecessarily during his rest time, but this is better than these fool adventurers, who could even have killed Tanduk. Gathering all his remaining courage, Tanduk decide to spot the scene again. He is not without fear, the gargoyle could still be here, but there could also be interesting things on these foolish humans. Slowly, the hobgoblin passes his head trough the space between the temple doors. "There a guard!" cries Diane. Damned, they were victorious, and now what will befall to me? Think Tanduk while running inside. But the hobgoblin could not challenge the speed of the hasted fighter-rogue and Diane is quickly on him, slaying poor Tanduk on the inside entrance floor. It is the end of the story of Tanduk the hobgoblin. ... please restrain your tears ... ;) -back to the heroes point of view- The fight against the gargoyle is just finished that they have another one to settle. Even if Diane was able to spot and dispatch the hobgoblin in only a bunch of seconds, the alarm is probably running trough the temple. They will not have more time for preparations and they will not have the time to wait for their friends. Now is the time of their entrance into the Temple of Elemental Evil itself. The Vestibule: "The floor of this area is made of reddish-brown stone squares. Dim light filters through the stained-glass windows, casting revolving colors upon the floor. The walls are plastered and painted with scenes befitting the nature of this despicable place - torture, murder, enslavement, robbery, and far more unspeakable acts. The creed of the worshipers is evident from these depiction: Evil is supreme. Ahead, the floor stones are green, and the nave of the temple is filled with pillars of a pinkish material, shot through with worm-colored veins. Their arches lead to an unremarkable pair of lesser side aisles. The columns supporting the archways, as well as the archways themselves, are worked in relief scenes of vile activities conducted mostly by human men and women." -- Diane and rousing Fox chose to take the side aisles, while Ezekiel and Killasha advance right in the middle of the temple nave. Lywen used an invisibility spell and disappeared. Arrows flight in the temple, Ezekiel and Killasha use their shields as best as they can, Ezekiel magical protections are really useful here (DM Note: he raised his Ac to something like 24, even 26 with his shield, this is quite hard to touch for my poor hobgoblins). Diane and Rousing Fox have another tactic, they run trough the side aisles using pillars to get a bit of cover. When they reach the barricade, the two of them tumble past it. (DM Note: hum, in fact it takes three rounds to Rousing Fox whom player decided that 6 was really to hard to roll on a d20 and preferred a 3 and 2 for the first two rounds :p ). They are now able to consider the force they are opposing, there is several dozens of hobgoblins, most of them have medium to bad equipment but several of them have banded armors and big two-handed swords. This is really a sight! And they are only five for the moment! The odds are nearly of ten hobgoblins for each member of the party ... will they survive such a tremendous fight? After a few rounds, the fight is at his climax. Ezekiel and Killashalandilis are standing on the center of the hobgoblins barricade, fighting against half a dozen of hobgoblins - several of them wearing half-plate armors and using two-handed swords.

The barricade is broken, only two elite hobgoblins fighter still remain, and they are quickly killed by the duo of Ezekiel and Killasha. Even if some humanoids still remain, Diane is able to connect with her two friends and they catch up with the last hobgoblins on the center and right side. But during this time on the left ... rousing Fox is still fighting four evil humanoids, one of them being an elite fighter, when a big monster comes out of the stairs going down. It is a massive beast of more than height feet high, with two strong arms and a sparkle of fury in its eyes. They will identify it as a dire ape afterwards. Anyway, the beast seems to answer the calls of its master, coming from a location ... where none stands! Which does not prevent it from attacking the monk, who starts to tumble away from such a fight, trying to gain time until his friends are able to help him. Finally Diane and Killasha are able to help the "tumble-to-survive" monk. While Ezekiel finishes the last hobgoblins on their side, the two female fighters move to the left side. With a well timed surrounding move, Rousing Fox attract the dire ape towards Diane and she stabs it from behind (she seems to love backstabs ;p). Diane and Rousing Fox dispatch the remaining fighters and Killasha successfully strike the invisible master of the monstrous ape.

Gandigoot meets Rousing Fox in the center of the temple, while Ezekiel starts to investigate the east aisle of the temple and Diane finishes to search the body of the invisible master of the dire ape lying on the floor into the western branch. Wait, do you realize that we lost Alahija, and it's not her style to be long forgotten, she has to do something spectacular! Our courageous half-elf descend the inner wall of the temple using a rope, the stained-glass window she chose bring her directly in front of the large curtain separating the main nave of the temple from the vestry. Lywen sees her and flies in her direction, and ... it is to be continued in the next installment ;) ... keep tuned ... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Episode TEN - Back to the Temple of Elemental Evil - Part 4 (Alahija is captured ... fight for the half-elf, and the treasure behind!)
