Having done
a great job solving mysteries, the party was tasked with investigating a site
where the flesh melding satyr known as Kalish Blackfur supposedly was making
monsters. The group of heroes consisted of the crow ranger, centaur barbarian, harpy
swashbuckler, catfolk blood hunter, dragonborn war cleric, dragonborn battle master
fighter, goliath wizard, Aasimar druid, half orc barbarian, satyr bard, lizard
folk druid, catfok barbarian/rogue, human wizard, and human monk. The fourteen
of them found themselves at the entry tunnel to the cavern Kalish seemed to be
working out of. The chamber was well lit, had torches around the perimeter with
four stone slabs in the center of the main room. In a dimly lit area beyond
they saw a second deeper chamber with a familiar satyr to a few of them about a
hundred feet away.
Wasting no time at all the crow shot three arrows at the
satyr, causing him to throw up a magical shield. The barbarian charged ahead
and changed direction when she saw the large dragon form in the corner, its
scaled dark brown and like the dragons encountered before, the entire beast
seemed sewn together. She slashed mightily into its neck. The harpy flew in and
got off a shot at the dragon and hid behind one of the slabs, noticing in the
next chamber another dragon. The blood hunter fired on Kalish, sending arrows
into the darkness. The dragonborn cleric shot his crossbow at the closest
dragon being vexed by the centaur, the dragonborn fighter shot his longbow at
the same beast, the goliath wizard used firebolt, and the druid aasimar druid
used his sling. The dragon’s scales proved tough against their assault. The half
orc barbarian entered the fray and slashed at the creature as well but to no
avail. The satyr bard used his ability to grant movement to his allies and himself
letting the human monk and barbarian catfolk move closer to their enemies. The lizardfolk
druid threw fire and moonlight at her enemies. The catfolk barbarian took that opportunity
to charge the satyr villain and grapple him. Necromancers are not known for
their esteemed skills of wrestling and he became screwed. The barbarian also
stabbed him with his sword in his other hand, setting up the necromancer for
more pain, and noticed the third stitched dragon. The human wizard cast haste
on the human monk, and she stunned the first dragon and continued to whale on
him. the necromancer misty stepped away to try to escape but only made it to
his exit chute in the ceiling. One of the dragons used his breath weapon, a
line of acid on a cluster of the party, ruining a few of their days and causing
a bit of a panic. The other dragon lashed out at the cluster heroes, causing a
bit of damage. The stunned dragon sat their complacent but lost in thought. The
party did great, focusing their firepower on the dragon’s master, the
necromancer, as well as the stunned dragon. The grapple barbarian used his catfolk
climbing and speed boost to grab the necromancer again and wretch him from the
wall. They both fell, further dampening the mood of the necromancer, he tried
to dimension door away but the human wizard countered the spell. The goliath wizard
used his new scroll of cone of cold to great effect, hitting two of the
dragons. The party took out the stunned dragon before it could accomplish much,
as it died the body rotted rapidly into a soup. The other dragons flew around
biting at people and trying to line up shots for their acid breath. the party
worked together to help up any of their group that fell. The necromancer went
next, he attempted to take himself out but failed when the human wizard
countered his fireball. One of the dragons did blast the necromancer and the
heroes with its acid breath in its attempt at vengeance. The necromancer died
at the hands of the party, and faded into dust. The dragons did not last much
longer.
The party explored the chambers, finding the chute in the ceiling, some
tables with empty vials and surgery equipment, as well as a ledge that could
allow a flying or climbing creature to bypass a wall. They rested a bit and prepared
for their return journey when they heard noises by the entrance. They saw two
cloaked trolls with blazing red eyes, they looked angry. The human wizard shot
one of them with magic missiles and the monk closed in on it. The other troll
moved into range with the rest of the party and cast cone of cold, striking all
of them except the speedy monk that just ran away. The combat ensued viciously,
a few of the party fell unconscious but were saved by their allies. The troll
by the monk fell victim to her stunning fist and ended up pummeled by
everything. The other troll was greatly outnumbered and also fell. The party
looted them, finding potions on one and broken glass on the other, thanks to
the shatter spell of the bard. They survived their dragon encounter, fought as
a swarm, and might have defeated a foe they met in session one, if that was
really him.
