Game Log 2020-08-17

The session began with Ashe, recently taken over by a ghost, fighting for control over his body, and the rest of the Tribe frightened half to death by the Ghost.

Illyria’s aura was a huge help to the tribe here, helping to keep some people from being thrown into fear from the ghost, and Evresh was working away chipping away at some of the zombies from the backrow safely away from the front lines.  Me and Wolf were chomping away at the zombies taking out chunks of flesh and ripping comes free in the chaos.

Ashe, his consciousness fading, felt the power of the 5 stretching towards him, as a lifeline to fight off this ghost.  Ashe feeling hopeless and feeling himself slowly being lost, reached out to Sarenrea, praying for her to step in and save him.  This being a massive request, especially for one recently come to her worship, an amazing roll was needed for this to happen, and Ashe complied rolling a 3 on a d100.

With this, a warmth, a beam of powerful sunlight ripped through the clouds, the fog and bathed Ashe in the powerful warmth of Sarenrea.  The ghost was thrown out of Ashe’s body and within this beam of light he slowly started to grow skeletal wing structure from his back, and as the light began to fade slowly a few feathers began to grow at the tips of the wings with glowing silver tips.

The battle seemed to freeze for a second when this happened, and Vimak, seeing his time dropped a turn undead on the zombie hoard.  As the wave of turn undead moved out of Vimak, the weaker zombies simply fell over dead one by one, six weaker zombies fell dead immediately, 2 zombies turned to run, and the ghost began fleeing as fast as he could.

Arkenite turned and machine gun style downed one of the fleeing zombies, and the Tribe quickly dispatched the last Goliath zombie that did not run away.  With combat concluded the Tribe rushed inside the Barrow and used the extending rod to lock the door shut and hopefully keep the fled Zombie and Ghosts outside.

The tribe then began to discuss what to do next, with Vimak explaining what the barrow was like and that there were no traps and it was safe to go downstairs.  Evresh very intelligently noted that the goliaths rising as zombies also wasn’t hot Vimak remembered it, and with that the Tribe decided to take a more cautious approach.  Entropy being very careful took a single step downstairs while steal thing and Pop a sconce light up with light.  Entropy quickly retreated upstairs, and the light remained on.

The Tribe again discussed their options and it was decided we needed to see what was at the bottom of the stairs.  Entropy excited to try his Bagpipes of Invisibility ™ offered to go invisible and scout out downstairs.  The tribe quickly agreed, thinking Entropy would be intelligent and could go invisible silently.  Instead Entropy took out the bagpipes and started playing as he descended the steps.  The rest of the Tribe cringed, looked at each other and followed the discordant bellows of the bagpipes from the invisible Entropy down the stairs.

As the Tribe made it to the bottom of the stairs they saw two individuals down within the open Barrow, as described below, and Shantov began to monologue.  Luckily the Tribe was still enjoying the bagpipes and barely could make out the monologuing from Shantov, who would likely have been upset had he known.  With this, Shantov began to move forward the battle began with Evresh quickly incapacitating Shantov, and forcing Rondi to take his turn to awaken him.  As the Tribe continued to fight and start to feel confident a grinding sound was heard and four sarcophagi around the group shifted open and four zombies scrambled out and engaged the Tribe in combat.  Vimak was familiar with these Goliaths; Giriky, Hunuguya, Rowan, and Anath.

With this, the session ended and the Tribe went off for the week to plan horribly about how best to win this fight and finally end Shantov the annoying.

Rondi - Resplendent knight, with silver armor, a cape, shield, and a massive sword, who looked startingly like Allyria, except for being undead, drawn gaunt and a high elf.

Shantov – Dressed beautifully, a cape boots, red sash, a floofy pirate shirt under his sash, and a massive two-handed black blade that seemed to trail a dark fog or mist behind it.
