Game summary for January 8, 2019, Reign of Winter campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club.

Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team awaited the nuckelavee invasion, and as night fell a supernatural fog rolled in. Nuckelavees swarmed onto the beaches, and maftets flew to the attack. A quartet of the long-haired nuckelavees came up through the woods, and the Queen asked the party to engage. They spelled up and swarmed out to fight.
The battle was engaged in moments, and the brutality was shocking. A holy aura struck a nuckelavee blind, but it began blasting its breath weapon indiscriminately, inflicting disease and fatigue. Tarik inspired his allies with bardic performance while Erris hastened everyone. The horrifying aura of the creatures caused Erris and Koshi to turn tail and run. For the most part, the party held their own pretty well until the creatures summoned huge water elementals into the fray. Magnus took a beating between the elementals and lost a heal spell to a failed concentration check. Soon, Erris and Koshi returned and rejoined the battle. The nuckelavee were cut down, and Baknarla dropped a fog cloud over the elementals, and the team used haste to outrun them until they returned to their own plane.
