 +====== Campaign X, Season 2, Episode 34 ======
  
 +===== Ghostly Antimagic =====
 +
 +**Location:​** ​ Rakoran Forests west of [[gaeleth:​places:​Rilan]]
 +
 +**Date:** Dalan the 4th, 1335 Avard
 +
 +**Characters:​** ​ [[gaeleth:​people:​Chimes]],​ [[gaeleth:​people:​Hiko]],​ [[gaeleth:​people:​Toox]],​ [[gaeleth:​people:​Roland]]\\
 +
 +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//​ \\

 +====== Behind the Scenes ======
 +
 +**Date:​** ​ FEB2021
 +
 +**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.
