Necropolis Special Session: Plague Tree 2

Date

01/31/2008

Zhaji's notes

Vandis, planning on casting a burst spell told Brianna to move away.
Mambo swung her great-hammer at the plague harpies with mighty blows (x,x,x), killing two.
Brianna flew away from Vandis and started singing a bolstering tune.
Vandis moved near a group of Harpies and cast Word of Chaos, deafening and stunning them.
Harpies shot arrows at Mambo, hitting twice.

Mambo killed the remaining two plague harpies near her.
Brianna, still invisible, flew into an opening in the giant tree.
Zhaji, also invisible, and able to see invisible, followed her in.
Vandis drew his sword and attacked the harpies near him, killing one.
The harpies shot arrows at Vandis, missing.

Mambo joined the group inside.
Zhaji, able to see the final skirmish because the tree was mostly hollowed out, moved next to the plague harpies, turned into an iron golem, and slammed a harpy, killing it.
Vandis attacked and destroyed the remaining harpy.

The party regrouped on the top story within the tree.
Zhaji cast Greater Invisibility on both Mambo and Vandis.

The party flew down to the next level through a hole in the floor. A fowl din came from the next room. Brianna stopped singing. A periodic clink, like a hammer on an anvil, could be heard from far away.

The party moved to the next room. Cages of birds, arrow hawks, lay about the room. The birds chirped away. Zhaji, in spite of having Tongues up, could not understand any intelligent speech. She commented that they seemed to be ordinary birds.

The party flew down to the next level through a hole in the floor. The hammering seemed close. Mambo opened the door.

A marrash, an upright winged hyena-humanoid, was hammering at a forge. Upon seeing the party, it started Blinking.
Mambo moved to attack, but her great-hammer swished through its blinking body.
Zhaji cast Flesh to Stone at the creature, but fired as it blinked out.

The creature turned to flee, and Mambo struck it from behind. It flew to the outer wall and blinked out. Zhaji asked if she should go after it. Brianna said everyone could go if Zhaji popped a hole in the wall. Zhaji cast Disintegrate on the wall, popping a large hole in it. She flew out to see where the creature went.

The creature flew up the side of the tree and over the top. Zhaji reported this to the others. Everybody flew up the side of the tree.

The marrash was on the far side of the treetop. Four plague harpies, those that Vandis had turned, were also on the treetop.
Vandis cast Spiritual Weapon on the marrash, which missed.
Zhaji flew to the far side of the treetop.

The marrash cast Shield of Faith on itself.
Angel recast Haste on Mambo.
Mambo closed on the plague harpies.
Vandis cast Silence near the marrash. His Spiritual Weapon attacked (ooo).
Zhaji cast Disintegrate at the marrash, caught it blinking it, and vaporized it.

Mambo swung her great-hammer at the plague harpies with powerful blows (xx, xx, x), killing two.
Vandis closed on the harpies and swung his longsword with a powerful blow (x, x), killing one.
Mambo finished off the last harpy.

Zhaji's invisibility wore off while the party quickly collected the marrash's fallen equipment. She used her ring to turn invisible again. The party flew back down the side of the tree and in through Zhaji's instant doorway.

The party flew down to the next level. The large open area contained swarms of plague rats and a plague spewer.
Zhaji, turning visible, cast Polymorph Any Object on the spewer, turning it into a wobbly glass disc.
Vandis redirected his Spiritual Weapon at the glass disc. The sword quickly shattered the disc.
Mambo headed down to the next level.

Zhaji cast a sculpted Fireball, tailoring the area to cover all the swarms of rats, but none of the party. Crispy rat corpses littered the floor.

The rest of the party followed Mambo to the next level. Zhaji delayed to cast Greater Invisibility on herself.

A large pile of bones sat in the huge room below. Vandis and Brianna noticed that the bones moved.
Brianna pulled out her Sword Lamnion.
Vandis cast Know Vulnerabilities on the bone-pile, making an audible noise of shock. With limited time, Vandis said it was a big powerful undead creature.
The pile moved and attacked Mambo from 20' away with a mass of bones. The slam left a mark!
Zhaji, worried about the creature's long reach, pulled her Cube of Force from her Handy Haversack and activated it to keep out non-living matter.
Mambo advanced on the bone-pile, which slammed her great-hammer as she approached. The hammer was badly damaged, so Mambo bit the bone-pile. Mambo started raging.

Brianna activated her sword, causing a Mordenkainen's Sword to start attacking the bone-pile, doing minor damage.
Vandis directed his Spiritual Weapon at the bone-pile, but the bone-pile's spell resistance defeated the spell. Vandis then moved toward Mambo, getting slammed hard by the bone-pile as he advanced. The slam trigger Vandis' Stalwart Pact.
The bone-pile attacked Mambo (x,x,x,x), walloping her badly and triggering the Stalwart Pact on her as well.
Angel cast CMW on Mambo.

Brianna's sword continued attacking the bone-pile.
Brianna pulled out a Flame Strike scroll and cast it at the bone-pile. The creature's spell resistance blocked the attack.
Zhaji cast two Walls of Force, one of them quickened, to separate the creature from the party.
Vandis cast CCW on Mambo.

Brianna's sword continued attacking.
Brianna and Vandis cast cures.
After warning the others, Zhaji cast MS VII to summon a huge earth elemental. She directed it, speaking Terran, to standby until she told it to attack. She then cast another.

Mambo and Vandis were anxious for Zhaji to drop her Walls of Force. Zhaji said, "One more", and cast a third huge earth elemental. She delayed a bit longer to let Brianna into the protection of her Cube of Force.
Brianna's sword continued attacking while Zhaji was readying.

Zhaji verified that everyone was ready, directed her elementals to attack the bone-pile, and dropped the Walls of Force.

Mambo attacked the bone-pile with powerful swings of her great-axe (xooo).
The bone-pile attacked Mambo (xxxx).
Vandis and Angel cast cures on Mambo.
The three earth elementals attacked (xx, xx, xo), but DR drastically reduced their damage.

Mambo attacked the bone-pile with more controlled swings (xxxx).
The bone-pile attacked Mambo (xxx*).
Vandis and Angel cast more cures on Mambo.
The elementals attacked (xx, xx, xx), destroying the bone-pile.
Zhaji dismissed the elementals.

There was a runed mithral sword in the bone pile. Brianna recognized the symbols; it read, "One Thousand Broken Dreams" and was a drow-bane sword.
