Game summary for November 27, 2018, Reign of Winter campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Deska Starseeker (Half-Elf Druid played by Kaliegh Averdick), Magnus Erlingsson (Human Cleric played by Chris Harmon), and Tulvur Xandersen (Troglodyte Fighter played by Taylor Averdick). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
While waiting for the wall of force to drop, Magnus cast disrupting weapon. The team then charged out and killed the two baykoks still standing around watching them. They went into the next room and found a holding cell where it appears people had been tortured in the past. Next, they looked out a window overlooking a massive chamber. They realized it was a throne room, and in the throne sat an ice-encased skeletal figure! The group jumped or rappelled down the ten feet to the floor which awakened Queen Bremagyr! She came rushing forward firing a polar ray into Magnus, and the team charged to meet her.
The team landed several blows and were amazed by the Queen’s resilience against their attacks. She then ripped into the team cause several to burst into blightfire! As the mystic fires burned, the Queen recovered from her injuries! Shatha was devastated by the fires and driven to the back. Tulvur stood his ground by suffered grievous wounds that would have felled a lesser troglodyte. Deska used the cauldron of overwhelming allies to fill the room with large and huge fire elementals! She and Magnus then fired off numerous flame strikes, some of which were dispelled by the Queen’s spell resistance. Tulvur’s sword, Icebiter, proved effective due to its flaming properties.
The Queen’s frigid cold aura continued to harm the elementals, but there were so many they landed enough blows to keep her moving back. Soon several of the team were suffering from blightfire, and their life force flowed freely into the Queen! Magnus channeled positive energy and blasted her after he identified her as a winter wight. Then, Tulvur critically hit her with Icebiter, which rocked her backwards. Deska finished her off with a beautifully-timed fire snake!
The group nursed some wounds and claimed her crown. Deska noticed it was just a cheap trinket though, so they searched in earnest and found a hidden chamber overhead. Within lay a fortune in gold, jewels, and magic! Amidst the items, they found the real crown, and Deska put it on her head. She immediately received a vision of her holding up Mametqul’s head with the crown upon it, and she placed it upon a shelf in the cabinet in the back of his tent.
