Young Heroine
Vaelana from the Minrothad Islands was just rudely wakened from a
nice nap in her warm relaxing bath. Troubled as she does not
remember getting in the bath. She remembers sneaking around in the
dark stinky dungeon. She was trying to find a book and some other
trinkets. There was a lot of screaming, roaring, and banging of
metal going on in the next room.
Then a Gun Shot!
All of a sudden a giant horrendous beast came rushing and screaming
into the room followed by some men and an elf. One of the men said
something about finish the troll off. The others then attacked it
and the troll was soon finished.
Introductions where
made and the party of Gentlemen decided their duty was to see the
young lady to the surface. She got out of the spa tub. The others
called it a cooking pot. A strange spa with onions & carrots. She
quickly got dressed and was able to find all her gear. With that
they proceeded out of the room / troll den.
Down the hall was a
door that had not been opened yet. Turns out a witch was inside
along with a big teleportation circle. The New Girl Vaelana was able
to blind the foul creature with a Light Spell in the Witch’s Eyes.
The Party was able to subdue the blinded Witch. Haffie questions the
Witch asking for the location of Lost Fernando. The Witch seems not
know who Fernando is. Before Haffie can slit the throat of the
witch. The others ask the Witch for the location of the Girls in the
Bottles. The Witch tries to lie and is caught. She then confesses
and gives directions to a room. Haffie smiles and does what he does.
The Witch is dead. Vaelana is somewhat shocked by this, but she
comes from Minrothad a Land once famous for it’s viscous survival
of the fittest.
They march out into
the hallway. Now with a map to one of the Girls in the Bottles they
have sworn to save. They search the door and find a trap. They are
fortunate and able to disarm it and open the door. Big dark room
with several columns in it casting shadows. Right in the center of
the room they see the big glass bottle and a girl inside it. At that
same moment they hear a sound and see a Blue Worm. This is the
younger larval form of the purple worm. It is a long vicious battle.
Although just a larval blue worm this is the most dangerous opponent
the party has faced yet.
Young Vaelana
collects her wit and cast Unseen Servant. She directs the servant to
open the giant bottle and get the girl out. Meanwhile the rest of the
party takes a beating from the monster. A few rounds later the girl
in the bottle charge attacks the Blue Worm. Killing it with Cause
Critical Wounds. She introduces herself as Lady Alicegouza Knight of
Amazonia Paladin of Kythria. With the worm dead there was a mad rush
of spellcasters over to the desk and bookshelf in the corner of the
room. The Cleric Gunnar was busy with healing the wounded as the
true battle over the small library of books had begun.
On the desk they
found a opened letter.
Letter
from Bakalgu
of Ethengar to Daughters of Alicearaina
The
Spell Works. The Old King of Vestland is now our undead slave. I'm
keeping him in the Temple of Tssathagoa in Heldanne.
The
Heldanne Barbarians have proved most useful. We will soon have a
ritual to unlock the power of the Sorona Crown.
Reading
this letter did not sit well with the party. In addition they found
another unopened door in the room.
Upon
reading the letter the Paladin who was freed from the bottle suddenly
says, “I have work to do thank you for freeing me.” Then she
teleports away.
The
party works up the muster to go open the remaining door in the room.
It opens in to a small room with a door at the end. They open this
door. It has a door behind it with a warning. Very carefully they
open this door. Carefully peeking inside they see a full grown adult
manticore. It sees them and roars.
The
manticore is very fast and overtakes the fleeing party and blocks
their way. Seeing their way blocked by the mighty beast the party
reverses course and runs back the way they came. The manticore sighs
and opens a previously unopened door and steps inside. Then locks
the door behind him.
Carefully
noting the door down. The party goes back to the room they found the
beast in. They find two more doors. One of them a secret door.
They decide to open the secret door first. Apparently it was a
secret vault. It has two more secret doors and a lot of coins. Huge
piles of riches.
They
decide to open the farthest away secret door. It opens in to a large
room lit with torches in a circle around a pentagram on the floor.
Inside there is an insect man, pile of coins, backpack, girl in a
bottle, coffin, and a note on the floor. Some of the party helps free
the girl in the bottle, while others collect coins and search a
backpack. The insect man appears peaceful and helps with freeing the
girl. Insect man tells them their friend was here. They find a note
from Fernando. He says he has gone off to Teagora’s Manor ahead of
them with some new allies he has made.
The
girl that was rescued from the bottle tells them she is Princess
Alicema of Castle Greyhawk Councilor to the Duchy of Ten. They show
her a map they found earlier of a land called Greyhawk. She verifies
that is her homeland. During all this Young Vaelana snoops around
the coffin. The coffin suddenly springs open and a monster jumps out
swinging a sword. Vaelana suffers a viscous attack.
Soon
the whole party is in combat with the monster. This beast is strong
but it is not long before it is recognized as an unholy undead. The
Princess Alicema of Castle Greyhawk tells everyone to move away she
will turn the foul wretched undead. Instead she turns it into a dust.
The Cleric Gunnar is most impressed with her power.
This
is the End of Session 6
