  • Summary XLIV: How to Destroy the Vampires Stored at the Ziggurat?

    seven vampires in gaseous form incased in tar- how to destroy/ get rid of
    them? There is also a devil in trapped in a jar.
    method #10- throw them all into the pool of at the Shrine of
    Nevron. ” Hey, I know where a pool of holy water is…”
    Player # 1: “Sheesh. We’d need an awful lot of holy water, and at the price
    of about 3000 gold per gallon, we could run up a little bit of a bill…”
    Player # 2: “Hey I know where we could find a huge pool of holy water, and it’s
    free!”
    Okay, we have to confess that Player #2 was ZACK! Hee hee!

  • Summary XLIII: Against the Ancient One in the Dark Pit and More Tan-El Stuff

    Our next expedition was to eliminiate the “ancient one” so we went to the
    Ziggurat and performed a ceremony that destroyed the evil altar there, as
    well as dispelling the hell hole. Eventually some of us might call the
    Ziggurat home, now that it is rid of all dangerous evil. I am sure if we
    scraped off the soot and featured what remains of the hell hole (by
    building some sort of dais around it) it might look like a neat place.
    Forces of Evil: 0, Stone Soules: 8

  • Summary XLII: Tyner’s Tower: Disturbing and Other Answers

    So next was Tyner’s tower…at last. As usual, “questions were met with
    disturbing answers.” (an augury we got once). We got in through the
    usual method and started experimenting with what turned out to be the
    bedroom door. As was guessed by other players, Tyner was well prepared
    to protect his place from other mages (although with all the magic here,
    I don’t see how Tyner could have made the place within a human
    lifespan). The knock spell on the door caused a memory moss to hit Eli
    and eat all of his spells in memory. Kinda delayed the expedition 🙂
    So we used the Chime instead and found beyond a plush arch-mage bedroom.
    Everything was magical to some extent, from the carpet that is always
    clean to the warm sheets etc. We found four cool magic items which we
    still need to identify amongst the other standard Tan-El fare…you know,
    twisted bits of metal and, a Chaotic Evil (malignant) force in a bunch of
    jars. Appeared to be some sort of ooze. Xavier tried to sprinkle holy
    water on it but was attacked by some insubstantial mist that temporarily
    drained two levels and enticed him to open the jars (Hmm…I wonder what
    would happen if we dropped the jars into the hell hole, let the two bad
    boys fight each other first 🙂 ). So anyway, we moved on to the door
    that led to the next upper level.
