Chapter 5: Blingdenstone

I am having a lot of fun, I think we are just getting into the demon fighting part of the module maybe.
You guys have been great, wish I had an around the table group like you guys.

I wish I had an around the table group at all lol. As for how long till it's over, I am pretty sure we have alot of content left to experience.

Dustin's bolt slams into the creature as Heartboiler closes the gap. The momentary distraction of the goliath charging in with Cloudstrike is enough to open up its soft underbelly. Dustin's bolt buries itself in the beast and it dies with a scream! Unfortunately, Heartboiler's swings just barely miss the spider nearest her, the first one glancing off the creature's hardened carapace.

Bildaweer points his hand and the now familiar crackling bolts of force race out and weave their way around Dustin and Heartboiler. Finding a target in the middle of another spider's mandibles, you hear a skittering screech as it shakes its head, sending green ichor splashing over the downed paladin.

Cemos, as you skid to a halt near Eldreth, your medical knowledge tells you very little. In the midst of all the combat, you cannot make out any semblance of breath or heartbeat in the dwarven woman's chest.

The two remaining spiders move around, one biting at Heartboiler, the other at Cemos. When both of their bites miss, they chitter at you and shimmer out of visibility once more.

Georges and Stool spin back to back weapons seeking threats.

Cemos, as you press your hand to Eldreth's still frame, you can feel your holy energy pulse out into her body. However, it seems as if it's totally ineffectual. It would seem that her spirit has well and truly left.

The spiders shimmer into existence on either side of Bildaweer. One gnashes out at the small deep gnome while the other tries to bite Stool! Both of them are clearly disoriented and miss their attempts!

Georges swings for the northern-most spider, Stool stabs out at the one that attacked him. Georges makes solid contact with both strokes of his scimitar, lopping a leg off the creature.

Stool, finally finding his stride smashes forward with one of his short swords, slicing off one of the mandibles! His second attack finishes off the other mandible, leaving his target looking VERY weak indeed!

As the spiders are slashed repeatedly, a faint shimmer surrounds Eldreth's body, and a spectral version of the dwarvish woman rises up slowly, watching with a sorrowful smile.

Do not feel badly Brother Frostbeard. There is much we must discuss and soon, I don't have much time. she says, her voice an empty echo.Combat! Bold below can act now.

In a fantastical spray of gore and ichor, the two remaining spiders explode into chunks of dripping chitin and slime, liberally coating everything in the vicinity.


Combat Over!
