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.
