Game summary for October 10, 2017, Reign of Winter campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: All Might (Human Warpriest played by Andrew Renfrow), Denessia Rapidarma (Dwarf Gunslinger/Paladin played by Casey Scruggs), Kenwrec Battleglaive (Kobold Slayer played by Peyton Harmon), Magnus Erlingsson (Human Cleric played by Chris Harmon), Svala Alehorn (Orc Unchained Barbarian played by Todd Hughes), and Ten-Penny Tacey (Half-Orc Rogue played by Shane Bradley). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team cast a number of spells upon Denessia for protection and then sent her down the spiral of the Eon Pit to retrieve the key to Baba Yaga’s Dancing Hut. She found it easily, and she withstood most of the ravages of the curse; however, at nearly the top, her mind buckled under the pressure! She began drooling and babbling. Bravely, and with no protection, Magnus hurtled down the stairs to rescue her. He shook off the effects of the pit and saved his companion. They learned that her mind was badly damaged, and she had become erratic and somewhat unpredictable.
They talked to Jadrenka again, and she mentioned some other visitors inside Artrosa that Caigreal had let in. She led them to a forest and a meditating upasunda asura. The dangerous woman was intrigued by the party and eagerly engaged them in battle despite their attempt at diplomacy! She hit several with a rainbow pattern, but the team was able to shake their fascinated allies out of it. She then activated haste and ran amok among the team. She became a dervish of death, slaying both Ten-Penny and All Might and badly injuring Kenwrec. Denessia, in moments of clarity, smited the creature but then accidently blew up her pistol. Magnus, Greta, and Svala closed in, and finally Svala (enhanced by her newfound orc strength, rage, and Greta’s bull’s strength) chopped the creature down! The team collected the monster’s treasures and left Artrosa. On the way back to the Dancing Hut, they stopped by Vurnirn and purchased a scroll to heal Denessia, and they got All Might and Ten-Penny reincarnated.
