Sage's Alliance
04-11-2007
The trap that Thorgim opened was a deep, deep pit. He is thankful to Corian for awkening him, and decide how to cross the obstruction, since it completely fills the immense hallway. Larek picks up Kadia after joking about being thrown and easily tosses her to the other side. She lands easily on her feet. Corian mysteriously appears on the other side. Thorgim jumps, landing close to the edge. Jolie harbors her nerve and jumps, landing at the lip of the pit. Corian leaps forward and reels her in. Sage jumps, and barely managers to grab the edge with her hands. Corian chuckles, and pulls her up as well. The rest leap across or use a rope.
Kadia easily spots another trap as they move down the dimly lit hall. They enter a foyer. Ahead, the hallway continues. To the left and right are two doors. Not wanting to leave anything behind, they go to the left. Making sure the door isn't trapped, they open it and go inside. A rectangular shaped room with a lone sarcophigi greets them. Thorgim hears a voice whisper to him, "Free me", and he moves forward and removes the lid. A smokey black winged creature emerges. Corian grapples with the creature, and the creature latches onto Corian's arm. Stunned, the party watches as Corian, in turn, latches his own teeth into the creature's flesh and begins to drink deeply. The rest of the party beat at it, and, before long, it slumps to the ground. Corian then breaks his grip, black blood dripping from his fangs. Jolie turns and is quietly sick in a corner, as they take it's weapons and burns its body in the sarcophigi.
The room on the right proves to be the same...a lone sarcophigi, and a winged Ringwraith. This time, the party slahes and hacks it apart, and repeats the burning ritual.
They work down the hallway then, Kadia proving her worth by disarming a tripwire trap, locating a pressure plate, and yet another trap with a pressure plate.
Finally, they exit into a huge chamber, shaped like an octagon. In 4 corners of the room stand 4 large contructs. Each have huge piles of glittering treasure, but the Alliance remain cool and dare not touch any of it. Once more, there are two doors to either side, and the hall continues forward. As they near the center of the room, Jolie notes a pile of ashes in the middle of the floor. She nears the pile to examine them further, when a mass of ghouls emerge from the pile. Mandryl, quite unnerved, shrieks and throws a torch in their midst. They scatter around the room, but it seems an effective attack. The battle is fierce, and in the melee, Lalaina and Kashak are pushed back into the hallway. They step on the last pressure plate. Kashak throws Lalaina back into the room with the fight as the plate rises. He is unable to make it out of the way as 7 stone wheels come from the walls on either side. He is caught in the middle, each stone weighing a ton or more, and is reduced to almost mush.
Finally, the ghouls slaughtered, the group pauses for a breath.
The four constructs come alive.
The battle proves to befall many injuries to the party.
Larek - Left arm burned off, broken leg, slashed weapon arm
Kashak - Dead (from trap)
Corion - Severed lower leg, broken weapon arm, other arm broken, broken hip
Mandryl - One eye destroyed
Sage - Broken arm, fractured ribs, severed lower leg, broekn shoulder
Lalaina - Broken weapon arm, one eye destroyed
Rena - Broken arm
Jolie sets her mind to the tedious task of repairing her friends. Kashak is beyond repair, so she preserves and lifekeeps him, hoping to be able to work on him when they have more time.
The door to the left has three doors to it. One opens to a sarcophigi. Annihilating it, they move to the next door. Once opened, more ghouls pour out. Battle weary, the Alliance destroy them and plan on firebombing the next room. Kadia tucks a firebomb into the room, taking out most of them. They make short work of the rest.
Preparing for the rooms across the octagonal room, the party ready their firebombs, but all three doors burst open at once! The battle rages for what seems like an eternity, but injuries are limited this time, and they finally clear the room of all of the entities.
