Session Seven - 6/28/25
1832 AS Apollal 17
In Defense of the Tree and the Well of Magic
The battle with Ardema begins. He raises his staff and bolts of eldrich energy comes out and hits Faban and Makani. Gildas deflects the bolts with shield. I respond with conjuring of the many blades of Melkior and begin to cuisinart Ardema. Gildas levitates him and Brigit shoots him with her short bow. Mikani calls her deity and asks that the foe be smitten down. She notices that he is an asmari – a celestial being from ancient lore. She also gives shield to Roon. Corvinas yells “Pinata time” and skewers Ardema with his longsword which is imbued with fiery magic which also sears Ardema.
Claris comes up from the well and joins the fray by shooting a magic missle at Ardema.
Roon attacks and misses
Ardema counters with the spell - shatter, which kills both Mikani and Faban instantly. The rest of the party is hurt.
Gildas tries to cast Tasha’s giggle but doesn’t have an effect on Ardema.
Brigit hits again from the shadows with her short bow
Corvinas hits him again with his flaming sword and does significant damage
Claris even attacks him with his claws
Roon attacks again, but misses…again
Ardema, feeling trapped and bloodied, casts lightning at Brigit and then plane-shifts out of the fray.
Aftermath
The storm outside dissipates and the folks that are alive attend to the dead and heal the wounded.
During a discussion about what happened earlier with Claris, I mentioned coming up against four asshats. He asked about more information on these “people” so I decided to sing a ballad about it. Mikani and Brigit rolled their eyes.
Eventually we make it back to the inn where the party rests and I busk the night away
