From UtterChaos
Run began at the beginning of the Labyrinth.
- Should we split the party? NO.
- Cautiously moving ahead and scouting
- Avoiding the rotting-vegetation room
- Call from the other party- ran into trouble on the bridge
- PCs reach the bridge- huge room with a massive bridge over ucky water. Big battle going on.
- Church of Tamara, with a silver dragon, facing off against a couple of the Tiamat-ers, with a red dragon
- Invisible rogue stabs Sil one
- Tamarans, aided by PCs, victorious, heal, move on
- Wail of the banshee trap: one of Zahn's group, minus hand, at the scene
- BoyHedgie dies, the rest are saved
- Querca's location spell goes off, pointing them the right way
- Forcecage trap grabs Sil, summons a hamatula on her
- Ezel dimdoors Ellowyn and Michael into the cage, misses with himself and Querca
- Ellowyn and Michael manage to rescue Sil, who got grappled
- In the very next room a huge battle is occurring!
- Charra, some undead fiend thing, and a green dragon fighting Zahn, an invisible rogue, and a swarm of abyssal ants
- Mages speed-buff, Michael charges (of course)
- Charra and Greenie are focusing on Zahn while invis rogue backstabs dragon
- Querca summons a defensive wall of thorns to keep the orb away from The Red Dragon
- Querca has ants...
- Ezel dispels the invis rogue, who re-invis'es after yelling "Sorry!"
- Zahn retreats behind a wall of fire
- Michael KO's Zahn, Charra dives through the wall to grab his stuff
- Sil leaps in and fumbles her attack, Charra flees
- Ellowyn disintegrates Charra (!!!)
- Struu grabs the belt o' pouches
- Invis rogue grabs the belt and runs
- Party pursues, Sventukothar blocks escape, rogue runs straight into forcecage and is down for the count, surrenders and vis'es
- Querca summons a wind elemental to sweep her acidic beasty ants away, WHEW
- Party collects all stuff, including Red Orb, from Vin (invis rogue)
- Tamara group shows up (Ezel had called)
- Michael heals
- Gives them the curse artifact
- They retreat and leave hostages with PCs
- Subdual!
- Sil has bandaged Zahn, Struu ties Zahn and Vin up
- Vin seems very eager to cooperate, claims he had to do what Zahn said... there was no way he could not. Not like it used to be.
- Ezel is touched (but not like that) and uses the Orb to override the order and give him basically free will.
- CRACK!
- Party retreats from dungeon, avoiding one trap. Eventually Vin isn't tied up.
- Delicious treasure is resisted, party leaves dungeon
- But it's so delicious!
- But it's deadly!
- Back in the throne room, Chancellor closes portal and dismisses them- it's your problem now, all debts are even
- PCs + Zahn (unconscious) + Vin rejoin Church of Tamara
- Aezma is awake!
- Everyone is crying and hugging
- Naturally Michael ends up with his face smashed into bosoms
- On Michael's suggestion Vin is given over to Marcus for "a second chance"
- Marcus will res BoyHedgie tomorrow at cost, PCs must just get the diamonds
- Aezma thanks them all
- Ezel has a totally awkward convo with Aezma. Marcus is suspicious. Michael and Ellowyn say nothing.
- Tamarans will meet up with them tomorrow and would like to be part of questioning Zahn
- PCs return to Struu's house while he goes out shopping
- Sunshine wants to visit Aezma again because she smells so good
- Struu obtains magebane manacles to restrain Zahn (from Sil's treasure)
- Plans for "tomorrow":
- Interrogate Zahn
- Michael has a date (embarrassed)
- Ezel has an appointment at the abyssal temple
