Saralas: Session 59
7 Elient
- We are in the dining room with Grandolpha
- Korag offends her. Karthos tries to figure out which Duergar would avoid attacking the people of the Ten Towns.
- They talk for a while. Her little pet dragon is a Black Ice construct, probably dangerous
- We head down the hallway, to the end of the corridor with doors to the south, north, and east.
- Karthos opens the door to the north. It is a dark chamber with a plain stone bed, a stone trunk, and 4 unlit braziers
- Karthos enters the room and lights them. Min follows. They don't see anything else in the room
- Min opens the trunk. It's actually a mimic. It grabs Min but we kill it.
- She is still stuck to it, so we peel her off of it.
- Karthos notices the tiny Deurgar hiding under the bed. As soon as he sees us he makes a break for the door. He's small and fast and we are unable to catch him. He runs out down the hallway.
- Karthos opens the door to the south. Braziers light up the room, trying to make some heat which is carried away by the cold air flowing through the arrow slits to the south. There is an iron cage in the room and chains running, possibly another lift room. There are training dummies and 4 freestanding suits of plate armor in the room.
- Karthos comes back and opens the room to the east. It looks to be another bedroom.
- Mounted on the wall are the heads of creatures that might be found in the mountains or the underdark
- Inside is a Deurgar. Karthos and Korag recognize him as the guy in the ferry in the last timeline, who escaped by hightailing it from the ferry across the ice
- We attack, but after a couple attacks he pulls out a glowing purple potion and quaffs it, then laughs.
- We hit him a couple more times. He pulls out another potion and becomes Large and appears to be healed
- After a while and a few solid hits to Saralas we take him down. Min loots the chest. Inside the chest in a bottle, a drinking horn of no particular value, and a leather scroll. The scroll has a drawing of a stern looking Deurgar woman, who we don't recognize.
- I ask Min for the drinking horn and drink some of the liquid in the bottle, which is wine. Good memento.
- What is holding up the militia?
- We head to the elevator room to the south. Baerwin decides to walk up to the suits of armor and try to shock them. The suits of armor animate and move to attack.
- "What did you do Baerwin" Saralas cries as he hits the animated armor next to him
- Saralas is beat pretty badly. He tries to escape from the one attacking him but it follows him into the hall. Resda follows and blows it up. And blows up everything min is holding but her boots.
- He manages to kill one of the other suits of armor, then heads down the hall a little ways and slumps down and leans against the wall.
- Baerwin finally kills the last one
