Session 18: Longtail, Take 2

(This is a placeholder so I can catch up to where we actually are.)

Having cleared the darkmantle lair, they head back to their favorite room to rest and recover.

Day 23
They wake up the next day to find that Zay, their necromancer, has turned into a statue. Hearing muffled sounds from inside, they break the statue open to reveal their new mage, an evocation specialist.[1]

After so much time spent in here, they finally decide to touch the seal in the center of the room. Tthardas manages to take some damage while others are healed by it. Their fun time is interrupted by a Kobold and Krenshar, who are taken out quickly by the party.

Day 24
Fully recovered, the group decides to take on Longtail again. On the way there, a rat swarm hits the party and diseases everyone except Orrin. The actual damage was minimal, so they decide to press on.

Once again, Longtail is ready for them. The party is able to counter his Magic Missiles but is unable to cause him any real damage thanks to a Color Spray that knocked out Arren and Tex. After a long fight basically to a draw, a stream of rats swarm from the portal and the party runs.

Footnotes
1. His original plan was to go into a prestige class based on Evil spells. I didn't think the remaining guardians of the dungeon would like that, so he redid his character slightly. This should work out better for the party anyway.
