Supporting
Cast: Quilliam, Skat, Silverchain
Orcs!
And worse…the hunched, thick figures of drokk soldiers rushing
toward the party. Argus engages the drokks with fearsome rage,
slashing and hacking like a wild man! Quilliam carefully throws darts
with deadly precision. Skat sneaks into the shadows to get a better
view.
Gul’Daryh
nocks an arrow, takes careful aim, and cringes at the sound of a
breaking bowstring! No!
Frothgar
prays to Frimm and several drokks are suddenly held in place, unable
to move. Sparruu prays to Miana Musina who delivers similar justice
to the foul beasts. And Quilliam works his arcane magic, sending a
host of orcs to sleepytown.
As
the battle progresses the party winds its way up each side of the
stairs, flanking the cultists. The platform is flat and at its center
is a hole into darkness. Kneeling at it are 5 dwarves in some sort of
trance. Surrounding them are 5 elves in black and red robes chanting
sinister words. The leader, Ayall’Nyar, carries a terrifying mace
topped with a skull that has a spiked tongue dripping blood. Next to
him stands Killminster Barrackbomb, dwarf ally! But he is possessed
or controlled and bears a mighty hammer of obvious magical
significance.
As
the fighting continues the elf leader, arrogant, underestimates our
heroes and, after slaying one of the kneeling dwarves, is cut down.
He falls into darkness, taking the evil mace with him.
Now
the smell of foulness rises from the pit. The strange, stinking
creatures encountered earlier begin to crawl up from the darkness of
the well!
Sparruu
pulls out a tye-died bottle of liquid. A little something he’s been
saving since the raid on the ganguth’s lair….a potion that
transforms him into any creature he desires. Suddenly Sparruu
disappears and in his place is a small red dragon! Testing the limits
of his form, he breathes a blast of fire on the remaining cultists,
frying several of them to ashes as well as catching some of the
creatures trying to climb out of the well. The moment of fire reveals
to everyone that from the well is crawling many, many nasty things.
Time
to leave! But Gul’Daryh, Quilliam, Frothgar, and Silverchain are
engaged with drokk guards. And now Silverchain, hit with a spear,
falls into the pit. Everyone has taken a beating and depleted their
arcane and divine resources.
Retreat!
