Gotwald Ironhorn, level 10 minotaur Rune Knight FighterMac, level 10 tortle Drakewarden Ranger/Rogue
Savra Akkedis, level 10 lizardfolk School of Necromancy Wizard
Torrel, level 10 kenku Fathomless Warlock Pact of the Amulet/Fighter
The battle of Tentrix’s Floating Lair continues as Mac disappears out of sight fighting the merronoloth on the highest level.
On the other hand, Gotwald arrives after securing the ship, leaping from the rowboat to help defend the spellcasters from the angry hornet’s nest of pirates charging towards them, and taking up ranged positions by upper story windows.
Programming note: we’re off next week. The series will resume on October 18.
Savra uses her last high level spell slot to cast synaptic static on the horde of pirates emptying out of the bar. The nasty psychic explosion instantly downs four pirates, and weakens the burly minotaur.
Gotwald moves to defend her near the main gate as several more pirates surround them in melee, and more fire javelins and crossbow bolts from the second story walls.
Storm clouds gather overhead and lightning magically blasts downward, striking Torrel. The kenku ducks into an office building that leads toward the bar, finding a newly freed ogre zombie!
Thankfully, the warlock still has Bigby’s hand tentacle, and it crushes the corpulent creature with a few mighty slap-punches.
Torrel ends up separated and battling his own entourage of enemies, including a pirate bard, a uniformed goblin boss, and a lizardfolk chef. Despite a killer AC, the kenku takes some nasty hits, and uses his second spell slot to cast mirror image.
Gotwald and Savra make it to the main gate and Savra shatters the balcony above, damaging several pirates with her last spell slot.
Then they spot a large, hovering, fish-like creature dressed in opulent robes flying into the courtyard.
The marid speaks apologetically to the party before he blasts them with a gush of water, knocking Savra back outside.
A thug leaps onto Gotwald and strikes him with a nasty critical hit, but the marid slyly attacks Gotwald again, this time knocking the pirate off and killing him.
The marid explains that Tentrix controls him via the magic conch, and he implores the party to free him.
Gotwald quickly agrees, asking the creature to keep his focus on him as he strikes down an injured minotaur, while continuing to take potshots from pirates through windows and on the walls — and magic lightning blasts from overhead!
Captain Scummer also re-emerges to hurl fire bolts from the windows above the bar.
Unfortunately, Gotwald and Savra have become separated, and the lizard wizard is soon surrounded by several pirate reinforcements emerging from the northeast.
Torrel and Savra are down to around 15% HP, while Gotwald (with his resistance rune) hovers around 50%. Many Black Armada pirate have died, but plenty more are still up — and they still haven’t even seen Tentrix yet.
Hopefully next time we’ll have a full party, they’ll need all hands on deck to survive this!
