We continued on the “Throne of Iuz” in our higher level game.
The PCs rested up and then headed back to the serpent mound where the remaining chorrim were packing up. The spryte cast slow on the chorrim. The warmain kicked in the door to the solidest building around, revealing some shadow trolls at work. The chorrim moved to intercept the PCs - though it was pretty hopeless. The shadow trolls inside the building tossed up an elderitch wall to defend themselves. The shadow trolls conjured up three electric hydras. The warmain went through the hydras like cordwood. The trolls tries some other spells that were pretty ineffective, then dimension doored out when the warmain started to force his way in. Three made it, one didn’t.
The PCs then started down the tunnel in the serpent mound’s mouth. There was faen magic and memorials to ancient faen heroes in the tunnel. The PCs came to a large open area where they heard someone saying that they need to get it finished quickly. They spotted a giant toad and attacked. The warmain charged in and killed the human working on the throne. Two stone columns came to life and attacked. The toad slurped him up with its tongue and proceeded to chew on him. A boar charged out of the shadows and took the unfettered to negative hitpoints twice - the only thing that saved her was a defensive roll. After the warmain beat on the toad for a while with his fists and the magic user flung many sorcerous blasts, the toad tried to hop into the water, only to be zapped by a blast from the magic user’s rod of electricity and lightning. The columns only lasted another couple rounds before being turned into rubble.
A fun time was had by all. The final fight was deadly but, thanks to some good luck and clever planning, nobody was killed. Now I just need to figure out how to keep that kind of challenge going.
