Talk:Silverwalkers Quest Notes 2011-05-22

RP Dinner With Egg! We interrogate the guys further Lord Marzall, Duke of Cavindale Why are they doing it? (Odessans attacking) Partly Money and partly over the Bandit Kingdom contract with Bog Wraiths Bog Wraiths had been working with the Odessans in the Bandit Kingdom, they've been paid to help Huge dustbowl cutting off Bandit Kingdom http://wiki.memphisgamers.com/index.php?title=Odessan_Invasion Substantial debts with Wydmoor Some complicated arrangement where some kind of forest was put into hock to the Wydmoor bank He ran out of money (King), mortgaged forest to Wydmoor bank Odessans had been paying Bog Wraiths and that was probably expensive We hear a noise at the door during interrogation Invisible creature Turns out to be Mat eavesdropping and also wanting to have Edrell interview the clerics We phone Naprid and arrange to take the clerics to visit him and dual-interrogate with Edrell Egg and Germain stay behind We take the clerics to be interrogated across the city Mid-city Suprise Invisible ambush battle! Party is pounded by sudden magical Ice Storm being cast from a roof above In confusion, the helpless clerics have their heads bashed-in by invisible stalkers Al turns into an eagle and flies toward the sound of spellcasting Al summons two wolves to smell out the location of the spellcaster Mose quaffs potion of See Invisibile Recognizes two vampire wererats! They weren't vampires before One was (Augustus?) from the Wydmoor Temple with the orcs One was from the sewers (?) They each killed one of our prisoner clerics Lightning bolt (40 pts!) on Al, another LB does 21 to Kimika after save. Al (still an eagle) retreats to reassess the situation. Another LB like the last one would do him in, so he decides to fight from a safer spot. Vampire pounds on Kimika and gives her a negative level! She is beaten down to 1 hit point She brandishes her holy symbol to push him away Mose smite-evils that vampire until it lies dead! It later turns to gaseous form and the body disappears. Fireball from LE sets fire to buildings, as she blasts Mantatlus's likely roof location The fireball also kills the two wolves that Al summoned, but that's good, since vampires can control wolves, and they were about to make the wolves attack LE. Quinalin pushes Kimika out of harms way and Mose rushes to lay-on-hands her Mose spies Vampire Mantatlus on the roof as the enemy spellcaster, flying around somehow LE reads scroll of See Invis LE hits Mantatlus with magic missiles as he flies from roof to roof Mantatlus flies (!!) away! Al summons 4 small water elementals to put out the fire that LE's fireball started XP: ????? 800 for level 10s? 1000 for level 9s? (Not sure, bad memory) Sad to have lost their prisoners, everyone heads to Wydmoor Castle to meet with Bog Wraiths Naprid: Naprid is unhappy, unsure who those were Didn't really recall much about Mantatlus so wasn't wildly affected to learn he still lived They accuse the Bog Wraiths of causing problems Badly undermanned here. Boondoggle in Bandit Kingdom has lots of Bog Wraith men which is part of the reason this battle is hard to win We showed him the wererat daggers (human/animal bane). "I'd know those daggers anywhere! Those killed Sox Argyle!" Wants dagger set, for practical and personal reasons Trades them for Lantern of Revealing Invisibiles! (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#lanternofRevealing) LE floats it around with mage hand as move action Edrell comes to interrogate We tell him of the crummy ambush General discussion: Is very busy and out of his element Even though Hemsley (old magius) was a coward, he was probably a better wizard Edrell busy trying to learn on the job He says that any reasonably well-informed Wydmoor scholar would understand how water supply was handled, not especially privileged info, but not common knowledge either. Runners dispatched to bring Egg and Germain into Wydmoor castle for safety. Arrive around noon. We corner Fenn and ask questions Germain detects lies: none detected "Nobody lies to the boss." LE Detects Magic his armor - illusion his magic dagger - necromancy his rings - abjuration Thieves Guild is willing to give up Mantatlus, wererats to show support for alliance Wererats have "gone rogue" and are working with everyone Needed to keep them in check in the past Silver weapons helped a lot to keep them in check in the past (ie: force) Fenn will tell us the lair for Mantatlus, wererats If we will give him time (24 hours) to warn his people so they do not overreact, then he will tell us where to find Mantatlus and the 2 wererat vampires Said he was going to give up Mantatlas in the past, but you all "overreacted" to the head in a box and did not want the offer of friendship he gave afterward, which would have been Mantatlus. WERERAT-Vampire HOME: In a cemetary on the outside of town, Quin scales walls easily to help us get out past the defenses Party prebuffs with lots of energy protection (both normal prot and a few death wards) The attack goes off on early morning. When the party enters the graveyard, a dozen ghasts and 4 shadows attack! Mose blows the Haste Horn (tastes like Germain's saliva, yuck) LE directs the revealing lantern around to help reveal shadows! LE magic missiles baddies Kimika consecrates gravestones for improved Turn Undead abilities! Turns and Ghasts are almost all killed Turns and Shadows all retreat Quinalin (Trip+Smack+Cleave), Al (Claw+Claw+Bite), and Mose (SwordSwordBurn) all rip a bunch of ghouls to shreds. Kimika turn drives the last few away and they are cut down as they cower. XP awards??? Not sure what these were
