Game summary for August 14, 2018, Reign of Winter campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Baknarla (Adlet Shaman Ranger played by Shane Bradley), Iguruzu Koshin (Human Monk played by Peyton Harmon), and Magnus Erlingsson (Human Cleric played by Chris Harmon). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team kicked in the doors to the chapel and found it warded with a powerful forbiddance spell. Most of the team, except Greta, took damage entering. This killed Anastasia! Greta jumped out and gave her the breath of life. They then tasked Viktor with taking her somewhere safe and hiding her.
They then found an old crone begging for their aid! She claimed to be Baba Yaga and said she had defeated Rasputin in battle after the World Engine failed and freed her! The team began asking her questions, and Baknarla challenged her to tell the keys to bring the Dancing Hut to earth. In a rage, the illusion-shrouded erodaemon attacked! Her snake-headed tail sank its fangs into Koshi, draining his Charisma. She hit the team with crushing despair and slashed at the group, but she was unable to defeat them.
The group moved into another room piled high with precariously stacked church pews. Baknarla and Magnus moved up to investigate, and it collapsed on them, burying Magnus! The Brothers Three, hideous nosferatu, came scuttling across the junk like grotesque spiders. They channeled negative energy but were surprised when, from beneath the crapalanche, Magnus channeled positive energy back at them! The Brothers hit some of the party a few times, and then began dominating them. It eventually became clear they were not fighting to kill. They sent the dominated party members away. The Brothers Three were stalling.
The party retreated to safety and called forth Zilvazaraat to buy scrolls of break enchantment, some potions, and a wand of communal protection from evil. Re-armed, and no longer with anyone dominated, the team prepared for a second confrontation.
