Arodus 23
After resting, the monk and Phain scouted out the rest of the spire. Having seen their deployment on defense, they returned to the group and formed an attack plan.
Arodus 24
The party buffed and teleported in. Phain brought Orik, the monk, Xantumal, and Preacher on his first trip. There were two Rune giants guarding two hallways leading into a room with a number of Lamia Harridans. They attacked one giant while the monk moved over, enlarged to block the other giant. Preacher cast stone wall on the door to secure it in place just in case.
The first giant went down without even taking a swing. Xantumal conjured a pair of elements behind this giant and used them to keep the hallway blocked.
Phain teleported in with the rest of the party and started in on the second giant. While the giant got a couple mighty swings in, the group dispatched him just as a reinforcement of giants were coming down the hall.
The group focused on the remaining Rune Giant as the other hallway a fight broke out between the elementals and some Storm giants. Unknown to the party, one of the Storm giants had broken free and decided to help. Soon the remaining Rune Giant was dead, and all of the other giants were free of domination. The one storm giant stayed to help as the others fled the city.
The Harridans had not advanced down the hallway, so the party moved down to fight them while their buffs were still active.
Two Harridans blocked the hallways as another one cast a spell of Phain preventing him from teleporting. While the harm spells the harridans had did major damage the party was weathering the fight.
The leader of the Harridans however was causing a ton of problems. The leader cast a summoning spell which brought a Glabrezu, a powerful demon. It was using reverse gravity constantly, knocking the party up to the ceiling and down again. Preacher cast dismissal in desperation, and it worked, sending the demon back to its plane, but the party was hurt badly. Next, the leader harridan cast Destruction on the monk who avoided the reverse gravity because of slow fall and his dimension door ability. Unfortunately, the monk failed his save and his body was destroyed. Soon after Orik took a harm spell which was close to killing him as well. The party was losing the fight.
A quick heal from Xantumal and some channeling from Preacher soon turned the fight around with the Storm giant's greatsword wreaking havoc. Finally all the Harridans were dead, the spire's guardians defeated, and only Karzoug remained....if they could figure out how to get to him.

Session 59 - Denizens of Leng
Arodus 20
With the head of the wizard in the cage the party asked their three questions and found out that his name was Kalib and is Karzoug's apprentice from the days of Thassilon. He is working to bring back Karzoug who was close to returning.
Arodus 21
Phain and the monk decided to scout out the spire. Both going invisible and moving silently they teleported inside the spire at the alarm spot. Phain used his gauntlet to stone shape the area around it to disable it.
They heard the patrol move by so they moved to the throne room and Phain used a Clairvoyance wand to peer in the throne room. Inside was a Rune Giant, a Storm Giant, and 2 Cloud Giants. Phain used Dimension Door to move into the hallway past the throne room and moved further into the complex. Using his wand Phain scouted out the rooms and discovered a number of room where it appeared Karzoug was standing. He also found a room with alien life forms doing work on strange machinery. The monk used the scrying eye that Preacher loaned him to look at them and he recognized them, they were Denizens of Leng. Being on the border of Leng he wasn't surprised to see them. He also noticed that the machinery the Denizens of Leng were working on was showing a time from the height of Thassilon.
Heading back down the hall they decided to kill the Rune Giant. Phain teleported back to get the druid, Preacher, and Orik while the monk position himself. Preacher barred the door again with a wall of stone while Xantumal cast Reverse Gravity between them and the lesser giants. Orik began to pound of the Rune Giant.
Soon the giant was dead and the other giants freed from domination. The party teleported back out. Asking the head more question they discovered the Denizens of Leng were helping Karzoug by using this device to bring Karzoug's army back from the past right before Thassilon was destroyed so he could use them today.
The party came to the conclusion that these creatures and their project must be destroyed.
Arodus 22
The next day they got their spells ready and teleported into the room immediately attacking the Denizens of Leng. While no one got hurt, the creatures were resistant to their blows and healed quickly. Fortunately once they were dead, they stayed dead.
After the last Denizen of Leng died, the machinery began to make a strange noise, and soon it became apparent that it was overloading. Then, with a burst of energy, a large Hound of Tindalos appeared howling loudly. The party decided it was time to go, allowing the hound to rampage the spire.

Session 58 - The Champion of Karzoug
Arodus 20
After resting and planning, the party heading back to the spires. They appeared outside the door of the woman who was the Champion of Karzoug. Buffing and getting ready, Preacher slammed open the door and the party attacked!
Phain dimension door a group of people over to one of the Rune Giants, while Preacher,Xantumal and Shalelu stayed back. While they started to beat down the first Rune Giant, the second Rune Giant charged the druid. The Champion moved over to attack the monk. Xantumal hit her with a dispel magic, and the monk hit her with his Sword of Blah, removing all of her current spells with its special power.
When the first giant went down, the second giant became the target and it soon went down with it. The monk made a new special move he learned that could kill it one hit, and it worked! The Champion went down as the second giant was dying.
Meanwhile Shalelu heard giants coming down the hall so she slipped inside the room while they closed the door and did a stone wall to brace it. The monk heard commotion coming down the other hallway and saw six lamia harridans coming. Bracing for the initial assault, the party took heavy wounds, but Preacher was nearby to keep people alive. Xantumal summoned an earth elemental to guard the braced door in case the giant broke through.
Ready to run at any moment, the party stuck out the fight and as they killed a couple lamias, they heard the pounding on the door change as more Rune Giants came to break down the door. Also at the same time, a wizard appeared and started to pelt the monk with magic missiles. The monk did a dimension door and hit the mage with his sword taking off his protections. Then the mage disappeared.
When they looked for him they noticed he was behind the remaining lamias and a summoned vrock was attacking Preacher. The monk chased him down by dimension dooring back to his location, stunning him with a mighty blow. Meanwhile the rest of the party was trying to kill the remaining lamias before the doors buckled in.
With the mage and one lamia left, the Rune Giants finally broke the door in. One of the giants killed the earth elemental while the other one charged in hitting Shalelu. Shalelu moved closer to Phain to allow him to teleport her out, while the last lamia went down. The wizard fell unconscious while acid arrows were killing him. Preacher and Phain used spells to escape as the room filled in with giants.
Wiped out, the party returned to their base to rest and recover for the next assault.
