Session Two Hundred and Twenty (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

SESSION 220 – September 26, 2018

We defeated the remaining orbs, but Lambertus was blasted since he cast Prayer.

We reached the tunnel and they had an anti-magic effect from the beholder automaton. Rallion and two others, Tree and Peronell, attempted to shadow step and they all failed.

Rallion made a deal with a DVL, see below, to get back invisibly near the door. We learned of 2 small objects that duplicate by doing damage to their opponents.

Oskar was feared and fled. Others shadowstepped. Kauri and Laris failed and made deals with the same DVL but Kauri argued for all in our party to have free passage and to remove the fear on Oskar.

Nash shadowstepped behind the mecha beholder and tried to cast blade barrier from a scroll and it failed. Nash then fled, pursued by the little flitting bots that replicated by taking away one point of damage permanently. Nash managed to get past Bavmorda.

Tree was dominated and attempted to assassinate Rallion, and Rallion put him down with his laser pistol. Rallion took his shear rifle, extra ammo and shield. And was using Tree as a shield when he was reminded that “dead” ninja assassins explode.

Rallion and Peronell were unable to hit the things afflicting Nash.

Prix made ready to open the door, when Nash shot her from behind. He had been dominated.

The flitting bots attacked Lambertus and there were 5 of them. Oskar also stepped in.

Kauri and Laris appeared. Kauri used Magic Missile to knock out 4 of them and Peronel hit one with her bow, but not before one of them hit Lambertus and duplicated, leaving 1. The next round Kauri took care of the last one with Magic missile.

Lambertus prepared to stop Nash with a hold person, and Prix was attacking to subdue, when Bavmorda called Axelbot to take the box and shard and Bav assassinated Nash, just as Lysander’s eye saved Nash from the domination.

We all fled through the door that Laris had knocked. Pris dragged Nash’s lifeless body.

Axelbot put the shard in its sheath and launched through the door and was killed by the automatons and smashed into the wall into many pieces.

We closed the door and rush to put on spacesuits, Laris try to cast hold portal, and try to find a way to block the door long enough we can go face Xenotel.

Rallion’s Contract

It is agreed that in exchange for ensuring Rallion and his companions reach their intended destination safely from their attempted shadow stepping. That is, near the door to Xenotel.

That Beelzebul and his companions and associate will do all in their power to prevent the automatons in the spindle from interfering with our mission to assault and destroy Xenotel.

That Beelzebuland his companions and associate will do all in their power to ensure that the cube constructed by Prixithalma takes Xenotel’s place.

We are agreed that the following conditions will be sought by Rallion by all means in his power:

1.) Defeat Xenotel

2.) Prevent the Dwarven armada from arriving.

3.) Ensure that the Probability sword strikes the killing blow to defeat Xenotel.

Provided Rallion lives long enough to see the final battle to have an impact on the final blow.

Kauri and Laris’ contracts: similar to Rallion’s but added verbiage that all members of the party, by name will have free passage, and the Oskar would be freed from the fear cast on him.

Rallion, Peronell, Nash, Kauri, Prixithalma, Tree, Lambertus, Axelbot, Spiderbot, Bavmorda, Alys, Laris, Oskar

Help Oskar and free passage for all.
