Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bigwilly" data-source="post: 3123505" data-attributes="member: 16730">Friday 13thHad a very fun session on Friday night. Playing very slowly as we only get together every couple of months. Party is currently in section C. Last session ended after the defeat of a feral ghoul (C49ish), but not before it got a hit in on 4 out of 5 of the party members.The party (all level 7): LN human cleric of St Cuthbert CN orc cleric of GruumshNE human master thrower multiclassN elven necromancerLE drow blackguard (+ 2 ECL so actually only lvl 5 - important)The master thrower has been roleplaying a fear of undead (immune to crits) and tends to run away when they appear, hence he was the only one not bitten by the ghoul. Any the party rests up and everyone gets to save vs ghoul fever. The drow fails her save. Neither of the clerics has cure disease memorized so they decide to move on anyway. The next section is a maze with fake, trapped doors. The master thrower fails a spot trap roll (I find that a lot of the basic DCs in the book are pretty high and have fudged a fair few just to prevent the PCs getting stuck) and attempts to open one of the fake doors. Possibly for the first time in his entire career he makes the open lock check...and triggers the cloudkill. Goblin NPC slave croaks immediately. Master thrower and the two clerics both save but still take CON damage. The drow fails her save and as she only has 5 HD also croaks. The rest of the party pull the drow out of the cloud and attempt to revive her, but it's clear that she's dead. Then her eyes open and she tries to bite one of the party (she is now a ghast). The master thrower wets himself. The cleric of St Cuthbert recovers quickest (makes a knowledge - religion check to work out what's happened) and blasts her with searing light. It doesn't quite kill her and she makes the most of the opportunity and bites the master thrower. He saves vs paralysis but I ask him to make the throw to see if he gets ghoul fever and he rolls a 1. The master thrower soils himself. Hilarity ensues.Party retreat to safe spot and heal up before continuing. Next section is the trial of just or some such where party members need the Mark of Righteous just to get in. Within seconds of giving the mark to the cleric of St Cuthbert, the rest of the party attack the archon and kill it. Then after most of the party have put their weapons on the rack and can't get them back the orc refuses and heads off into the section with the giants. The cleric, wizard and m.thower go through the trial. The cleric is fine only needing one save at the end - which he makes. Both the other end up level drained, blind, deaf and with -6 to their STR scores. In the meantime the orc has dined with the giants and been sent to his doom towards the trapped spectre. He managed to bypass a crushing trap by using stone shape and break the first of 4 locks on one of the doors, but not before he gets cursed (-6 wis is not good for a cleric). Unable to break the other locks and not thinking clearly he goes back and persuades one of the giants to help. Some rolls later they succeed in breaking down the door and freeing the spectre which goes on to kill the orc and the giants and is now roaming that section with his 4 servants. 2 PC kills + 1 NPC. Motto for the day: 13 is an unlucky number for some.</blockquote>
