Summary XXVI: The Final Steps in the Inevitable Defeat of the Great Old Ones (or Great Ones)

“Attack pattern Delta, go now.”

Hello, all!
Konrad & co. arrived with some fanfare, we killed the WOTW (see Zack’s note below),
and prepared for the GOO attack. We prepared the party by dividing it into teams Alpha,
Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Foxtrot and Tango. Echo was dissolved since its
mission was not entirely clear. Tango’s mission was to stay at the Transporter.
A,B,C checked out the courtyard and Theo and Konrad killed the 2 giant
poisonous snakes there before they could react.
We then executed the Plan, and entered the building, sleeping and killing
the guardian snakes in the Entranceway and burning the contact poison off
the handle (that Ludo discovered).
We opened the door to the GOO’s quarters and entered its room, Ceydric and
Faranyn, with team A ready to fly in. It retreated out of a back door, past
a glyph, throwing lightning bolts. Xavier dispelled the glyph and the wall
of ice that sprung up. We chased it around corners and up stairs, getting
an occasional shot at it with arrows and by Konrad and Theo. It went over
another glyph and the rest of B piled up behind while A went forward. It
failed to open a door and they wailed it; Faranyn crashed over the glyph and
was Blinded. It ducked through a secret door and kept being hit by Konrad
and Theo.

Summary XXV: Castle Bah Nareth, the Great Ones, and other menaces

“I WILL KILL YOU ALL IN YOUR SLEEP IF YOU DO NOT RETURN MY TREASURE”

Divination on the Castle:
Creatures there are vastly powerful.
Very rich treasure in the area
The forces of chaotic evil are present and the chance of disturbing them are
high
The forces of lawful evil and vastly dominant, but dormant, the chance of disturbing is moderate to high under the special circumstances
—
Two days after back in town – in the war room –
“I WILL KILL YOU ALL IN YOUR SLEEP IF YOU DO NOT RETURN MY TREASURE”
Just some cud to chew on.

Stone Soules Summary XXIV: Finishing Some Easy Tasks

Out of the panel flies a purple glowing ball, another Will-o-the-wisp. Being the
sturdy cavalier that he is Ceydric pummels the thing, while everyone else
is readying the weapons they will need to hit it.

Greetings one and all, we have an interesting story to relate today, one
of fame and fortune, but also of infamy and loss.
We started the evening in the library. There were a couple of things
that were brought up in email to try but both Jack and I didn’t want to
get bogged down in the library again, so we took off to explore the city.
In one of the blocks, was a rather run down old Inn. Ludo detected a
secret panel in one of the walls, fairly well hidden. Xavier checked to
insure that Ludo was successful in determining there was no traps. Since
there were none, Ceydric opened up the panel. TAKE TWO.

Stone Soules Summary XXIII: More Information about Tellah

“Partial success could kill thousands of innocents.”

Some auguries to keep in mind:
To attempt to steal the spell books:
“Vast disappointment will surround any unlikely survivors.”
[pretty bummin’, I’d say!]
To try to test Tellah’s powers with a monster summoning:
“Wounds will be nursed with the small comfort of disturbing answers.”
[hmmmm, not exactly making us jump at it]
To try to pick-pocket or remove any of Tellah’s rings, etc.:
“Only vast disaster will result.”
[duh!]
To try to attack Tellah:
“Partial success could kill thousands of innocents.”
