The session went very well last night. John and I had our characters resurrected: John's is Veit, a Dwarven Evangelist (which is like cleric but you get more domains), and mine is Ursula, Dwarven Duskblade (though I also have a level in Rogue). We've been playing a married couple, which has made things entertaining. We all leveled up to level 8 at the start of the session, and Chris, whose character also died at the end of the last session, rolled up a gnome beguiler named Fiorn. The rest of the party is Evan, playing a human wizard named Jakob, Jordan, an aasimar druid called Delilah, and Alpha, an aasimar sorcerer named Anomander.
So we started off with the resurrecting and the acquisition of gear - especially since Ursula had lost most of hers as it was liquified by the acid of the giant worm beastie. The three living members of the party found the house of Alli Akbar (please don't ask me to spell that correctly, please), who offered them infinite hospitality and then, being a cleric, happily resurrected myself and John from the afterlife (where we were doing what followers of Olanorn do - fight, feast and carouse). So we came back, everyone got comfy, and we were all given 'guest gifts' (meaning Beta put the magic item compendium down on the table and let us go through it, picking out 8k worth of stuff (10k in my case, as I lost ALL my gear)). I could afford the heavy animated darkwood shield I wanted, and had gold leftover for little things, like crystals that let me sleep in heavy armor.
Then we were assigned a task - to shut down the control center of the labyrinth where we were currently staying, at the request of our kind host. Before doing this though, we decided to cast speak with dead on the corpse of the priest we had killed last session (right after he killed John).
I got part of this on video. It is most amusing, and is on YouTube for viewing pleasure.
After this, we ventured into the labyrinth, and the first thing we ran into were four huge-sized elementals, one of which swept John and I into the water (thank heaven for 18 Con score). He and I took care of that one (though it took a while, a spiritual weapon and a couple spectacular crits on my part), while the others killed the rest with the help of Evan's variant of Evard's Black Tentacles (one of my favorite spells), Chris slowing the dudes, Alpha flinging fireballs, and Jordan calling down some epic lightning.
There's the grid - the big colorful cardboard parts are the elementals, the smaller dudes are us. Well, except me and John, we're kinda under the air elemental at this point.We broke for the night after the elementals were defeated, and Beta announced that we had accrued enough XP to level up again! Cheers and joy resounded throughout the room, and we all retired to bed discussing all the things essential for level nine -- especially potential feats.
My d20's: the Orange one did an excellent job this week. The white one sucked, and was not used very much.
We're all looking forward to next week I think -- assuming we play, I really hope we play or we won't for another three weeks, which would suck.
So that's my rundown of the session. Beta will post a much more eloquent one on the forum I'm sure, so when that's up I'll link you in the direction of it.
I'm off to buy snackfood for writing purposes, then get down to my goal of the day -- hitting 20k. Still not sure if I'm meeting up with Jim (one of ze writing buddies), but he just got off work so he'll probably call me later. Yay upping the wordcount. If only blog posts counted :(
