The Three Faces of Evil, Part 6

Edit: These are posts I made back in 2005-2006 and have now transferred them here.

  • Tyrrich – Elven, Rogue 1, Warlock 3 (male).
  • Garrett – Gnome, Druid 4 (male).
  • Cullen – Elven, Monk 4 (male).
  • Roma - Half Orc, Rogue 2, Barbarian 1, Fighter 1 (male).
  • Janna – Human, Cleric 4 (Wee Jas) (female).

The group manages pretty well given the circumstances. Cullen does manage to land a few good swings with his sword to take out one Grimlock and engage the second. That gives the rest of the group the breathing room they needed to climb down the spike ladder without getting shot at. Roma breaks the Choker’s death grip and retreats back to the rest of the group.

After the archers are dealt with, and everyone is healed up, the explorers head back to where Roma encountered the Chokers to flush them out and kill them as well. Above them they see a rope bridge that crosses to a ledge leading out of this area. They come up with a plan to summon a bear to cover them while they cross the bridge. The bear is summoned and heads into the cave where the group hears it growl out in pain. They rush in to see the bear disappear from the massive damage taken by a particularly ferocious looking Grimlock.

Each side takes up a defensive position to evaluate who/what they are up against. They then come together in a massive blender-like clash where only the heroes emerge victorious.

Delving deeper into the natural caves, the heroes come to another opening where they hear the sounds of guards-talking-and-sharpening-weapons-but-not-paying-attention.

We end the session with the heroes making a plan to ambush the guards.

End of chapter 12.

Roma - Half Orc, Rogue 1, Barbarian 1, Fighter 1 (male). Janna – Human, Cleric 3 (Wee Jas) (female). Victorious after their battle with Filge the party sets to interrogate him and “sanitize” the observatory. They learn that he was brought here by Balabar Smenk, an old acquaintance of his, to research some undead activity in the area and also strange happenings in the Dourstone mines. They decide to keep him alive for now and lock him in a room at the Feral Dog and pay someone to watch him. With that they head back to the Land farmstead to bury the bones of Alastor’s family and then to the Whispering Cairn to see if the ghost of Alastor was able to open the door he promised. Sure enough the door is unlocked and the party moves in to see what mysteries remain inside. In the large circular room they d

After finding out from the Innkeeper that Balabar Smenk was the one who came and claimed Filge, the group decided that it was time to meet with this notorious mine manager. Roma, the indentured servant to Balabar, went to see if the group could strike a deal with him, and Tyrrich kept an eye on the place from a distance. Soon after Roma and announce his intentions at the front gate to Balabar’s manor, Tyrrich was approached by a thug and asked if he also would join them. Reluctantly Tyrrich agreed. Inside they had a seat in a modest office where Balabar arrived to greet them. Balabar praised them for their accomplishments in the Whispering Cairn and besting his thugs. He also let them know that ther
