This session was pretty much one big three hour battle. It worked out to be just about perfectly – tough enough without ever threating a total party kill.
The party collected two barghest heads, planning to use them to try and fool Morat. As they were near the end of their resources, they set up camp in a hallway. A barghest came by, but Valik managed to convince him that there was nothing to see.
In the morning the party brought the barghest heads to Morat. He recognized the heads as those of his own barghests and he and his attendants moved in to attack. Three of them got blows in at Valik, Miru, and Rosco. Morat enlarged his attendants. Rosco and Miru got a solid hit on their barghests while Riamara icebolted Morat and Valik hit two with Burning Hands. Riamara healed Miru and Valik boosted her strength.
Rosco managed to shake off the effects of the charm person just in time to be attacked by barghests. Miru feel victim to Morat’s crushing despair. Rosco managed to take out one of the barghests with his greatsword. Riamara healed Rosco up as Miru and Valik attacked another barghest. Cinner and Kevgretor flanked a barghest and both hit solidly.
The barghests managed to hit Cinner, Valik and Rosco and Morat bit and clawed Miru. Rosco slaughtered another barghest. Riamara flattened another with a hand of battle (critical hit, leaving it extra, extra, extra dead). Valik boosted Rosco’s stregth as Cinner taunted Morat. Morat began to back away, but Rosco got a vicious hit in. Riamara healed Miru and Miru and Valik attacked another.
The barghests fled as Morat make some obscene gestures and disappeared. Cinner chased him and got knocked unconscious. (In a nice juxtapositon ** Cinner relives him self in his unconciousness so they can see the wet foot prints on the floor** GM: It’s a hit! ) Rosco narrowly missed with his attack on Morat.
Miru and Rosco fell to the barghests’ charm person while Valik shrugged it off. The barghests hadn’t coordinated their attacks and one jumped at Miru and snapped her out of it. Riamara icebolted a fleeing barghest and Valik and Kevgretor manged to kill it. Morat continued to attack Rosco as the rest of the party flailed away at him.
Rosco dropped out of rage and his exhaustion while Miru’s attack failed to pass Morat’s damage reduction. Morat snarled, “I’ll take you with me!” and proceeded to slaughter Rosco. Valik cast true strike and grabbed Rosco’s sword. Miru’s attack again failed to affect Morat. Valik hit Morat and passed the sword to Miru. Morat slashed at her as she picked it up but she finished him with a mighty blow.
The party was greatly saddened by Rosco’s death. Miru was in tears and even Cinner seemed touched. They barricaded themselves in and prepared to rest.
