Re: Chat Based Pathfinder
Well, things certainly were interesting tonight. After the both saving and decimation of the orc village, the group debated what to do about the caravan and with some various new bits of information that we just came across. Seems there was an abandoned mine that we just *had* to go check out (Hey, it was close!), so after sending the orcs that we'd saved back to keep an eye on the caravan, under a white flag and with a letter of assurance from us, we headed for the mine. Side note, Kristie, our new caster, while attempting to heal Redhand, did so, but turned him pink in the process. Remember this kids, it's important later.
Easy going, except for the fact that it was, well, home to some frost drakes that had decided to nest there. The idea was bandied around to go in and take the things out when, mostly surprising the rest of the party, Azieru stepped up and started conversing with the things, assuring them that we weren't there for their young and that we were only interested in the evil bad nasties that lay beyond.
And then to the big fight. So, there's a group of cultists hanging around a chasm, chanting, with, lo and behold, a drow sacrifice in the middle of them. Well, we obviously figured they were up to no good, so we decided to put a stop to it. Before rushing in, Islona set some Guidance upon Byzat and let him go charging in. And before Redhand went in, Kristie cast Enlarge on him. So we now had a
giant pink flaming monk.
And he tried to do the same thing as Byzat, but he slipped and went over the edge. So we're thinking he was right fucked. But no, we were *all* right fucked, when he woke up a large black dragon. Didn't matter that Keats pushed a cultist into the blackness or that Isi and Az lacerated another couple. Nope. Dragon.
So, Byzat, being Byzat, taunts the thing and gets its attention, only to be breathed on by a cloud of negative energy. Kristie decided to remove herself, at least visually, from the fight, and we still had the dragon to deal with. Which Byzat did. Loudly. Cutting into the thing and getting joined by Az, who lacerated the thing from the other side. Go flanking! Redhand also managed to slam his fists into the thing, barely getting through, but every little bit counts. The cultists obviously weren't much in the way of fighting, completely missing Az and Isi, not to mention it's a pretty dumb move on their part to attack the elf that's just *waiting* for them to attack her. Of course, getting hit by three little insects, the dragon was *not* happy, so it lashed out at them, clawing viciously at Az, smacking Redhand around with tail and wing and buffeting Byzat and snapping at him with its jaws. Practically on last legs, Az lashed out at the thing again, rending into it with both blades. And it seemed the drow sacrifice wasn't as helpless as she appeared, first healing the others and then commanding a good chunk of the cultists to flee from the combat. And then it was Byzat's turn again. And we had a hasted, sword on fire barbarian who manages to land a critical.
And then we had a dead dragon. Damn near decapitated, even.
Seeing that, the cultists promptly buggered out or surrendered. And there was much rejoicing. And healing. And freeing of drow prisoners. And searching for treasure. And getting to know the new party member. And looking for the one that ran off invisible. And looking for more treasure. And finding the missing party members. And dealing with the prisoners.
Ohyeah, and we leveled! And got treasure! Woot! Go us!
