+ | Bullet Notes:\\ | ||
+ | * Team continued along high road towards Lok Durass in chilly rains\\ | ||
+ | * A split on the road was unmarked on the map, going up out of the valley\\ | ||
+ | * The elven word for 'forest' was written in dwarven runes, indicating where the road went\\ | ||
+ | * They found a dwarven 'guard shack' with an illusion of a ghost written in ancient arcane magics\\ | ||
+ | * Chimes thought the single-door entrance was Lok Durass' entrance\\ | ||
+ | * Inside they found well-reserved ruins for perhaps a dozen dwarves\\ | ||
+ | * They were attacked by a ghost similar to the illusion before the first door was fully open\\ | ||
+ | * The ghost frightened Cleo the gryphon off, and aged her poorly\\ | ||
+ | * After they defeated the first ghost, they went in more cautiously\\ | ||
+ | * In the small kitchen, Chimes found a conch shell prepped for music\\ | ||
+ | * Hiko blew quietly on the conch shell, but they heard an answer\\ | ||
+ | * They were attacked by ghosts, as were the mounts left in the foyer\\ | ||
+ | * Some of the ghosts could siphon magic, absorbing it, growing stronger\\ | ||
+ | * After a rough-and-tumble battle, they defeated all of the ghosts save one -- a magic eater\\ | ||
+ | * They fled before the magic-eating ghost could free itself from //banishment// \\ | ||

+ | **DM's Notes:** Caileb's starting to feel like I hate him -- antimagic zones, magic-eating ghosts, and then I neglected to inform him (despite a high knowledge roll by Chimes) that ghosts were immune to cold damage -- and he blew a 4th level //ice storm// on a pack of the ghosts. Caileb muttered, "This is bullshit!" After how I treated Hiko's use of illusions in the ice dragon encounters, I know he feels frustrated. I just hope he can hang in there for the rewards. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This episode also saw the party wishing they had a full cleric with them -- for a moment. All of them can do magical damage: Chimes' bow does ungodly damage, Toox' fists and feet count as 'magical' attacks', Roland's sword does some serious smiting damage, and Hiko himself can do quite a bit of magical damage, too. They're going to see more ghosts, and more illusions, and more... other things, as they get closer and closer to Lok Durass. | ||
