Previously:
There is an old man, who tells us his name is Hector, tied up and chained to a corner. He asks about Thorin, and we tell him we chased him off. He is lying about being forced to help out Thorin complete the rite. Donaar grabs the old man and tells him he is lying. The old man’s eyes glow red and he transforms laughingly into a large creature.
Now:
The Final Countdown Part 1
Surprising us with his transformation the Oni Night Haunter breathes out some undulating green gas that envelopes Keth and Travok dazing them. He then brings his Morningstar down on Donaar’s head and knocks him back five feet. Keth tries to attack him with a Chilling Strike, but misses, so he swings at her in retaliation but misses. Keth shrugs off the charm effect of the gas.
Travok tries to hit the Oni but misses, and doesn’t save against the gaseous effect and falls asleep. Donaar then hits the Oni and the Oni hits him as he moves to wake Travok who then charges back into the fray. Keth hits the Oni with Magic Missile. Travok heals Donaar and misses the Oni. The Oni attacks Keth and hits her. The Oni continues to focus on Keth, so she teleports away allowing for Travok to heal her. Scapin is able to Critically attack on the Oni and does a lot of damage to him by stabbing him in the back and bloodying him. Travok charges in and Brutally hits the Oni. Then Donaar cracks him into the shoulder with his axe, then shifts over closer to Scapin. Scapin then sly flourished the Oni in the back hurting him. Donaar lays on hands on Scapin healing him from his wounds. Then he plants his axe right into the Oni’s neck killing him.
After a short rest, Keth says “There are five pillars here, if the Netheril get the other three they could use them to eternally bind Lady Saharel to do their bidding. We need to destroy them in order to thwart this nefarious plan. And I think the best way would be to burn them, burn them all.”
We climb the stone stairwell and enter a storage room with two doors heading outside and another leading deeper into the tower and with six Gnome Skulks arming themselves. Travok hops out of the stairwell using his Hymn of Resurgence on the skulks. Keth Color Sprays the skulks knocking them down and dazing them. Scapin runs in an attacks a Skulk blooding him. Donaar runs in a brings his axe down on a skulk and makes his smelly guts run out all over the floor. Travok attacks a dazed skulk and knocks him prone, Keth attacks another dazed skulk with Chill Strike and dazes him again. Donaar Valorous Smites the fallen skulk that Travok attacked and then divine sanctioned the skulks nearest him. After some more back and forth attacks where the skulks turn invisible and reappear, Donaar kills another and the other two are bloodied.
Suddenly the door opens and a Dark Kreeper appears throwing a dagger at Donaar. Travok heals Scapin and then crushes the skulk threatening him then he moves toward the door and Kreeper. Another Kreeper appears and attacks Travok. Keth moves up and uses chilling cloud on the enemies in her area, hitting them all and making it so they are less effective in attacking. Scapin kills the Dark Kreeper and blinds everybody but Donaar. Donaar attacks another Kreeper and Travok blindly moves and attacks the same Kreeper but is still blind. Keth shifts and sets off a chilling cloud next to her. She can see again. Scapin moves up and kills another Kreeper and makes Donaar and Travok blind, but saves himself. Donaar moves up and attacks a Kreeper challenging it, and Travok moves around to attack that Kreeper. Keth Magic Missiles the Kreeper and explodes it all over Donaar.
After cleaning ourselves up we look around the room. The doors are iron with a sliding panel and we search the bodies for more puzzle pieces for the seal, we are still short a few pieces for sure. Outside are parapets and crenellations… Keth sends her Peregrine Falcon around and she tells her that there are seven creatures hiding around the corner. We sneak around the corner to find five Dark Kreepers and two large spiders. Scapin sly flourishes a Kreeper, and a spider flips off its web and lands behind Scapin. The Kreepers attack and miss and attack and hit and after a few rounds of fighting, Travok hits one of the Kreepers and explodes it, blinding himself. Travok uses Hymn of Resurgence against the remaining creatures. The second spider is quickly killed and soon only two Kreepers remain. One is taken down by Scapin as he stabs it in the back and the other is killed when Scapin jumps on a ledge and stabbing it viciously, and all the guys get blinded by the black inky blood of the Kreepers.
