Session One Hundred and Sixty-Eight (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

Session 168: September 13, 2017

Some of our group chase after the blinded and wounded mother hulk with eggs on its back.

Momentarily aftwerwards, Thorfus comes out of his confusion and chases after them.

They find a third hulk and it attacks Nash. Thorfus rushes up at incredible speed and hammers the creature to great effect, but the creature wounds Thorfus. Thorfus wounds it again, and this time, the creature fells Thorfus, his lifeless body thrown across the tunnel.

Axel and Lambertus rush up, and evade Bavmorda, who was confused by the creature’s gaze. Axel, Nash, and Lambertus manage to fell the creature.

The monkeys cease working on the beserker and come to sing for Thorfus.

After looting thd body of Thorfus, Axel uses the Crystal Circlet and commands the monkeys to sing more quietly. Axel sends one to get Edan, and reaches out to Edan. Edan comes and sees Thorfus’s body. They go after the mother hulk and Edan hits it with the rest of his magic missiles, and finally fells it. It did charge, but did not hurt anyone else. It fell on its back and only two of the remaining eggs survived. Shell fragments and some egg liquid in cloaks and handles.

Amadeus found the body of a gnome who had a lenticular device and a crude map of the ancient dwarven area.

Nash opened up the stomachs of two of the hulks and found some gems.

They send the berserker in and the lenticular device does not work.

Nash drags Thorfus’ body in and puts his hand on the button and it opens.

They are not incinerated.

Next room has a room with light and gnomes and goblins building a tall tower (Crystal Tower) from materials gnomes & goblins were mining.

Find secret 5x 5 room with stuff. Chest of gold and bag of holding and potion.

We elect to rest and re-learn spells in the ancient dwarven area, and the monkeys work to repair the berserker.

RIP Lord Thorfus Ironhand, aged 52 years 362 days.
