Assault on Citadel Cavitus

This session's entry is done by Lirath Mindlasher

Out Of The Mansion and Into The Fog
6,000 XP

Leaving the magnificent mansion, we abandoned the useless wizard, but we took the Idiot Warrior, while the priest ran away. Along the way Lirath figured out he was somehow vampiric by biting the Idiot Warrior, after attacking Katya against his will.

We traveled on foot with a rope we held onto (like kindergarten children) while Rook kept ahead in the skies.

Rook spotted a giant beast with smaller things breaking off of it. Soon to find out it was a Grave Titan that dropped zombies.

They almost encountered our line, multiple tunes, but Rook and Lirath stopped them by either a telekinetic barrier or an illusion of a hole in the ground.

DM's Note:



Citadel Cavitus
5,500 XP

Making it past, we came upon the Citadel. Rook scouted using his magic and thought of using Meteor Swarm on the groups to take them out quicker, but he didn’t. Instead we slipped through the wall, via Rook’s magic, and he created a fog cloud. Lirath put a zombie-goblin, a zoblin, into a giant brazier and watched it burn.

Zoblins started towards us because of this, but Rook and Lirath disposed of them quickly by use of more telekinesis and Rook’s spell of oil grease. Unfortunately this attracted death-shadow wolves and a Minotaur skeleton, and more zoblins.

We fought them, Lirath used his magic to throw one of the shadow-wolves attackig Katya on her wall perch up into the air, killing the Minotaur but the wolf survived by teleporting away. Katya abandoned the wall she was on and with the Idiot Warrior charged ahead, facing off against zoblins and being ambushed by more shadow-wolves. She almost fell but retreated back to the shadows. The Idiot Warrior did not survive, he was easily taken down. The Minotaur attempted to charge Rook, Smallfang, Barb, and Hope. Only to have the wizard use his boon granted by his goddess, the Raven Queen, and repelled the Beast, saving his companions from harm. Using his powers, Lirath picked up the Minotaur skeleton and tossed him into the air, Rook creating an illusion of a spike beneath him, turning it real as he fell upon it, impaling it.

Finishing them off quickly, Lirath mind controlling the wolf to eviscerate the remaining zoblins. Forcing it to stay still as Rook melted it with his hand.

Killing off the Minotaur and his minions, Barb though of using his dwarven black smithing skills to turn the Minotaurs giant axe into his own weapon, quickly being dismissed by both Smallfang and Rook, neither of them keen on putting up with the dwarves barbarians strange ideas. Both Lirath and Hope investigated a room and found a chest and pouches of gold, which they shared. Katya did the same in another room, the second of the three and gained pouches of riches, both gold and gems. Lirath left Hope and searched the last room, Hope quickly dismissing the broom closet, but Lirath found a hidden door which he gained a few more items from.

Katya finds a statue of a cute griffon perched upon the shoulder of a now dead zoblin. As she turns it over in her hands she sees a riddle engraved upon the bottom of the statue. Smallfang hears of a riddle and rushes over to take the statue out of Katya's hands. He then proceeds to stare at it for the next hour, without any success.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lirath spotted a woman who was missing a portion of her face, the Priestess of Vecna from the a previous encounter to which they scattered her across the Astral Plane. She ushered another down a flight of stairs, Lirath telepathically informing his companions. Now ready to chase down what Lirath assumed to be Vecna himself.
