| Next Session | Twelfth Session |
The Eleventh Session began with our heroes splitting up and covering four separate doors of the inner chamber of Karagay Citadel's lower level. Obsidian Black, with a black dragon and the other party members each with various Aydahar, they prepared to storm the chamber. Dydara Samat, the apparent leader of the black Aydahar warned that the Grendel had a powerful wizard among them and that he should probably be the first target.
Well That was Fast
Matteo Alleman was the first to shoot through the doors, revealing a giant circular chamber full of books, tables and centered with a large magic circle. To his left was a very sinister looking Grendel assassin and ahead there was a regular Grendel footman. No wizard.
The incoming swarm of Aydahar made a fiery gob of acidic goop out of the footman, while the black dragon bisected and ate the upper half of the assassin. Meanwhile, Matteo Alleman had spotted what appeared to be a foot and a bit of rope pull themselves up through a fissure in the ceiling of the room. The fissure had closed by the time the remainder of the party entered the room. The combat had ended.
Loot Like We're British!
With no way to pursue the escaped wizard, the party decided to loot. Obsidian Black and Panamon Cree explored the main chamber, while Greef Raoke and Matteo Alleman made their way back to loot the wizard's chamber and examine the store room. Matteo's investigation yielded: crate of ash, barrel of blood, crate of bone dust, box of river clay, 2 barrels of dragon guano, barrel of salt, box of sand, barrel of water, barrel of red wine, box of coloured glass and finally a box of stinging nettles.
Greef, in the mean time looted a quantity of gold and a very shiny jewelled longsword. Additionally, there were a number of books that seemed related to the map he had taken from the table on the first trip through the room.
Wow, What a Wild Wind
The black Aydahar, with the assistance of the black dragon were attempting to widen the tunnel enough to make an escape. Meanwhile the red Aydahar went to fetch the red dragon wyrmlings. The latter triggered dragon breath, which in turn started the wind to churn through the main corridors. Inside the chamber, a red jewelled box was wrenched from its conventional magical hiding place and clattered to its wresting place in the center of the chamber's magic circle. The circle started to glow.
Meanwhile, the red dragon wyrmlings began to run toward the barrier blocking the northern hallway. Greef and Matteo, returning from their looting session, noted that the noise from the dragonkind had halted completely, as if they had vanished.
What's in the Big Pink Box?
A Few Quick Discoveries
Panamon and Obsidian discovered that there was more documentation regarding the Nine Herbs Charm he had copied out earlier, this time finding a copied edition with one more page, including an illumination of a man with a rod intimidating a dragon. The ingredient stinging nettle was inscribed at the bottom of the document.
Also found were documents related to the magic circles within the complex, information about what experiments had been run and various other documents that looked like they might explain what was going on in this place. The documents were loaded into spare chests and the party was ready to make for the tunnel and escape with the black Aydahar.
Curiosity Killed the Cleric
With the disappearance of half the Aydahar, the party decided to run an experiment. The black dragon was asked to breath into the attractor circle, which she did. The result was a wind whipping through the outer corridor.
