Carrion Crown Adventure Path – Game Session – 057

Game summary for May 22, 2014, Carrion Crown Adventure Path campaign, Wake of the Watcher adventure; PCs included Dario Malavasi (human oracle), Emilian Sandulescu (human paladin/ranger), Gnok Thatek (dwarf monk), and Varus Archlight (elf magus/arcane archer), accompanied by NPC companions Nyssa Pagonis (human cleric) and Pavlos Zervas (human fighter/rogue).

After dealing with the lake octopus, the group set sail to the edge of the Tern Rocks. The party piled into Horace Croon’s subaqueous exploration and research vessel and began to descend toward the lake bed. At about 200 feet down, they were attacked by a gutaki sorcerer who summoned a pack of fiendish sharks. The gutaki sprayed an unholy blood cloud into the submersible making Varus and Nyssa nauseated. It then grappled Dario but seemed unable to pull him into the water. After activating some water breathing magic, Gnok, Emelian, and Pavlos dove into the water to bring the fight to the devilfish. It was Varus who struck a killing blow by opening a major artery in a tentacle, causing the creature to bleed to death. The summoned sharks soon disappeared into the Abyss, much to Gnok’s disappointment as he had just grappled one with the intention of riding it around the battlefield.

Continuing the descent, the team saw a strange metal dome with blue luminescence on the lake bed. Nearby a blast of air bubbles erupted from a fissure in the rocks. The team made it to the lake bed and went to the source of the bubbles. They found a strange force field holding the water back from some air-filled caverns. The group entered and were soon ambushed by a pair of dimensional shamblers! The strange monsters clawed at the party but soon proved no match to the group’s combined might.
