Game summary for September 18, 2008; present characters included Lyrin Sinbal (simian incantatrix/ring sage/warmage), Morak Beardfist (shield dwarf fighter/rage cleric), Ranulph Wathbater (human berserker/fighter/hellreaver/paladin of freedom/rogue), Saedd West (human fighter/pious templar/wormhunter), and Taravin Truesilver (human divine crusader/gray guard/paladin of honor/pious templar).

The Mercenaries proceeded up another level of Kyuss’ new spire and found a large shrine. Within stood a massive silver dragon with elongated fangs and a trio of Blessed Angels. Battle was quickly joined. The dragon utilized its fear aura and paralyzing gas breath weapon to good effect, terrifying several party casters so badly they could not use their magic. Saedd and Ranulph brought the fight to the enemy, but Saedd was soon driven back due to terrible injuries. Ranulph was not as fortunate; a Blessed Angel’s vorpal strike decapitated the warrior.

Taravin, bringing up the rear, joined the fray and used the power of Baalphegor’s Grace to wrack one of the Blessed Angels with pain and turn another upon the dragon. Meanwhile, Morak shook loose of the dragon’s fear and banished one of the Angels. Melee was fully joined, and several injuries were inflicted on both sides. Before long, Morak succeeded in banishing another Angel. Then, in a fortuitous turn of events, the turned Angel struck down the vampiric silver dragon! She then fled the scene to parts unknown.

After the battle, the team gathered the spoils of their conquest and felt renewed in their drive to defeat Kyuss and keenly honed in their skills. Only a few levels of the tower remain, will the team succeed in defeating the Wormgod at the top?

Game summary for September 11, 2008; present characters included Eolas Windmaster (moon elf duskblade), Lyrin Sinbal (simian incantatrix/ring sage/warmage), Morak Beardfist (shield dwarf fighter/rage cleric), Ranulph Wathbater (human berserker/fighter/hellreaver/paladin of freedom/rogue), Saedd West (human fighter/pious templar/wormhunter), Syvarius Strongbow (moon elf archer-ranger/peerless archer), and Taravin Truesilver (human divine crusader/gray guard/paladin of honor/pious templar).

Taravin braved the risks and consumed Baalphegor’s Grace and established a connection with the Blessed Angels. The Mercenaries then took up arms and headed toward the rebuilt Spire to confront the emerging Kyuss. They found most of Mintarn in ruins and no signs of life, although wormspawn were everywhere. In a short time, the team made its way to the Spire.

Traveling up the stairs, the group was attacked by a pair of vampire Kyuss monks and two Kyuss high-knights. Soon thereafter, a pair of horned devils materialized and attacked. The party fought fiercely, banishing the devils and slaughtering the undead. With the way clear, the team prepares to move within the tower. Kyuss awaits.
