Session 19

Date: 5/20/2018

Attending: Jake, Wes, Aaron, Justin

Absent: Joey – Sudden family issue

Start Time: 7:30 p.m.

Mome Rath bolts, and a distraught Khalo (ok, annoyed Khalo) chases after him as the party begins attacking the mass of ghouls (25 and a ghoul priest) in the worship hall underground in the ruins of the Temple of Thorns. Instead of charging in they hold the door way, and the ghouls crowd and press around them.

The ghoul priest in the back begins throwing spells, curses and enchantments of the foulest sort. Orenthal returns magic of his own, but due to the bottle neck at the door way and the priest’s maneuverings in the room found it difficult to target the undead cleric.

Meanwhile Soromir and Osbert do their best to ward off the sea of claws and biting teeth, going about the grim business of returning the creatures to the silence of death. Jace and Norris swapped in and out with Soromir as he fell victim to and recovered from either the paralyzing touch of the ghouls or the dark magics of the priest.

Orenthal darts down the hall, checking for additional threats, and sees two dwarven mummies shambling down the damp corridor – soon to join the fray. He falls back and warns his fellow warriors.

In the room half of the ghouls had been destroyed due to the efforts of the party coupled with a grease spell from Jace and Osbert’s nigh-impenetrable armor. Much of the party’s spells and resources where exhausted however and with wounds all around the party was pushed back into the hallway, giving ground one step at a time. Slowly the remaining undead began to fall, with the priest and the mummies falling at the last.

Completely out of spells, healing, and wounded the party sees the beginning stages of mummy rot forming in the wounds of Soromir and Orenthal. They hole up in the worship hall, barricading the door with the remains of the wooden pews, and rest for 16 hours until Norris was able to successfully cure Soromir and Orenthal. During this time Osbert smashes the altar and tears down the holy symbol of Nerull. Finally restored they clear the barricade away and open the doors to see Khalo and Mome Rath returning. “What did I miss?” Khalo asks blandly.
