Reign of Winter — Game Session — 050

Game summary for December 5, 2017, Reign of Winter campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Deska Starseeker (Half-Elf Druid played by Kaliegh Averdick), Kenwrec Battleglaive (Kobold Slayer played by Peyton Harmon), Magnus Erlingsson (Human Cleric played by Chris Harmon), and Tulvur Xandersen (Dwarf Fighter played by Taylor Averdick). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.

The team rushed to one of the fortress’ blockhouses in a snowstorm to try and fend off a pair of barbarians and a sorcerer trying to bash their way in to make it down to the underhalls.  One barbarian used an adamantine warhammer to try and smash the stone door.  As the party arrived, the sorcerer hit them with a cone of cold.  Tulvur and Kenwrec moved in and landed some hard early blows on the other barbarian.  Magnus unleashed a holy smite with limited effect.  Deska dropped a flame strike on all three but found them warded heavily against fire!

The barbarian traded blows with Tulvur, and finding him effectively armored, switched to Kenwrec.  The team had not moved much, so the sorcerer hit them all again with another cone of cold.  Magnus moved to the side of the blockhouse to setup for a charge.  Meanwhile, Greta cast several healing spells on Deska.  Magnus crashed into the hammering barbarian, but his companion spun on him and tried to defend against the big cleric.  With most of the team still clustered together, the sorcerer hit them with a third cone of cold.

Soon, the door collapsed, and a barbarian and the sorcerer slipped inside!  The sorcerer cast wall of fire and burned several in the party.  With the heat radiating out, Tulvur was driven back.  The barbarian outside was cut down, and Magnus moved through the flames into the blockhouse.  The sorcerer breathed out a breath weapon, a shorter cone of frigid breath!  The cold hurt several of the team.  The sorcerer was badly injured by Magnus, but the cleric was soon cut down by the barbarian.  Greta came in through the fire, but soon she and Kenwrec were both sent fleeing thanks to a fear spell.  Deska moved in and summoned an owlbear and trio of wolverines using her cauldron of overwhelming allies!  This limited the maneuverability of the enemies, but not enough to prevent the barbarian from slaying Magnus!  Deska blasted the sorcerer with call lightning storm while the owlbear injured the barbarian.

The wall of fire expired, and Tulvur was able to move in.  Soon, the enemies were all vanquished.  Deska gathered up the slain corpse of Magnus and cast reincarnate.  Magnus returned to life as a human once again, of Taldan descent…  a female human!
