Game summary for January 24, 2017, Reign of Winter campaign, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Deska Starseeker (Half-Elf Druid played by Kaliegh Belda), and Tulvur Xandersen (Dwarf Fighter played by Taylor Averdick). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team found a door and listened. They heard someone inside, so Tulvur knocked. A female told them to come in. The group hid on either side of the door, and Deska walked in. She found a human woman of Ulfen descent holding a greatsword. She demanded Deska come in, drop her weapon, and kneel down, which she did. The woman bound the druid as Tulvur came in. He tried to intimidate the woman, successfully, and in her panic she tried to decapitate Deska!
Ten-Penny slipped around the door and sank a crossbow bolt in the woman’s chest. Tulvur and Nadya rushed in while Deska tried to sweep the legs out from under the woman. Ten-Penny cut Deska free, and the team took the woman down and hid her body under the table with all the chairs pushed in.
Next the team went down the hall and opened another door which entered into a kitchen. A gnome stood stirring a pot and began yelling at the team. The group backed out of the room and shut the door.
With the second floor cleared, Tulvur went to the teleporting crystals and went to the top floor. Up there he discovered a brown-haired man standing near a cauldron. Tulvur hurried across the room as the man cast a summoning spell conjuring two wolves and two giant spiders. A fracas erupted with fangs and swords flying. The man cast blindness on Tulvur striking him sightless! Ten-Penny arrived on the teleporter and was blindsided by a charging goat! Deska arrived soon after and helped the half-orc fight the familiar back. They moved closer to the man as Nadya arrived on the teleporter. The man cast a spell hurling magical snowballs at the team! Tulvur blindly swung his sword about as a spider and wolf tried to kill him.
The team started defeating the summoned creatures sending them back into the ether. They killed the familiar goat, Valstoi, eliciting a cry of rage from the man. He pulled forth an icicle and began stabbing Tulvur as the team closed in. The man slipped past the blind dwarf and ran toward the teleporting crystals. Ten-Penny dropped her weapons and tried a flying tackle. They began furiously grappling as Deska ran up and assisted. The ladies slammed the man to the ground and bound him. They tried to interrogate him, learned he was a witch, and forced him to drop his spell rendering Tulvur blind. The dwarf then killed the witch.
