1/26/2014

Attendance: Dragon, Azarra, Whitecat, Baggles, Qualin

We abandon the scythe and walk up some stairs. We enter a room, which looks very small and old. It appears to be a simple bedroom. We detect a faint magic signal in an adjacent room. We continue on through the rooms and seen an old master bedroom. The bed is decrepit and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

We enter a tower, and see a coffin in the middle of the room. We hear, “Welcome to my castle, prepare to die!” Baggles is attacked and successfully dodges a person in black clothing with fangs and a flaming sword. He is a vampire! He attacks Baggles again and hits his right arm, nearly severing it. The vampire had casted smite good to hurt Baggles.

Azarra casts a speed spell . Dragon breaths on the vampire. The breath is a direct hit, but an electric field surrounds the vampire and absorbs the damage.

Qualin attacks and hits his chest, but her sword is stopped before hitting his body. Azarra slashes the vampire, but the acid is absorbed by some kind of magic.

Dragon casts charm, but it fails to work. Qualin hits the vampire, but once again the blow is absorbed without visible damage to the vampire. The vampire attacks Qualin, but her ring absorbs the damage.

Dragon attacks the vampire with his claws and bite. Dragon hits the vampire with both, doing 15 damage with his claws and 14 damage with his bite. The vampire’s shimmer fades away. The bite goes into very hard skin. Qualin impales the vampire in the abdomen which makes him wince.

Whitecat attacks and impales the vampire and does additional sonic damage. Azarra takes damage as well due to her close proximity. Whitecat’s attack does 39 points of damage and the vampire gets obliterated and explodes into dust.

The vampire’s flaming bastard sword falls to the floor.

Azarra detects magical property and finds that the sword has D10 sword, D10 fire damage and D5 armor penetration. Azarra finally successfully casts detect magic on a mace previously found and the mace does +20 armor penetration. We go back to the horses and heal/resurrect Baggles. It takes a week and then we return to the castle.

We approach a new door and see ghouls through the cracks in the door. We enter the room with Whitecat charging like a maniac. Whitecat attacks two ghouls and stuns one of them and completely obliterates the other, splashing ghouls guts around the room. Whitecat swings again and obliterates another one. Azarra attacks a stunned ghoul and kills him with her falchion. Dragon breathes on the ghouls and kills another one.

After the last ghoul is killed, a room opens from behind (the tower) and many more ghouls come attacks us. The ghouls attack Baggles and do a critical hit. Baggles is hit in the right leg.

A ghoul attacks Azarra and hits her, doing 11 points of damage. Her special robe absorbs the damage. Another ghoul attacks Dragon, but cannot get through his natural armor.

Azarra attacks twice and kills two ghouls. Azarra is attacked, but her magic robes absorb the damage.

Another ghoul attacks Dragon, but does not get through his natural armor. Dragon kills the last of the ghouls. We search the room and do not find anything special.

We don’t detect any magic, but the room smells really bad and putrid. We cannot tell if it is human remains.

We continue exploring the castle and walk up another flight of stairs. We enter a room and see a skeleton with flesh hanging off his body and a wicked scythe. We also see many different types of mummies.

We quickly leave the room, but a fireball comes out and hits our group. Our armor absorbs the damage, but the damage is substantial. Moerderin attacks a mummy and hits him in the left shoulder.

Azarra casts destroy undead twice on the lich. Dragon breaths on a mummy, but it has not effect. The lich casts a cold attack and does damage to the group. Azarra takes total body damage, but the rest of the group absorbs the damage with their armor.
