The Library

(Campaign related post.)

The two scars finally reached and delved into the library. The place was ancient, the masonry from a forgotten time. The whole troupe noted however that the library was fairly well preserved, considering the extreme age of the place. The tiefling led them eventually to one of the ancient named mages. He told the two scars that there answers lied further within the library, to another one of these ancient ghosts. He then turned the tiefling to stone, the woman having broken her oath to the great spectre. Kharask gathered the company and began there exploration of the place. During there journeys they encountered several different forms of guardians and inhabitants, some new, some familiar. Flaming skulls, talking heads, great animated statues attacked at almost every turn. The two scars prevailed each and every time. The teamwork of the troupe was nearly perfect. Erantaelik used his magicks to slow and nullify his foes attacks. Azriel was dealing out a tremendous amount of pain to the companies foes, almost as effective as Baerd, and more effective when it came to mobility and tactics. Dalanor switched the nature of his magicks to the strange conditions of the library, but used them more or less the same as always, concentrating on spreading out damage and slowing the enemy down when he could. He was getting better at meshing with the troupe, but his tactics wavered, going from selfless to selfish without notice. His mannerisms were getting more frantic as they got further into the library as well, another notable concern to the Dragonborn. Merric seemed a bit more frightened than usual, almost being too cautious in the library. He seemed hesitant to initiate attacks, and asked about resting after almost every hostile encounter. In battle the hafling made up for his hesitations, he was the parties main combatant, finishing most of the enemies that the rest of the troupe worked on througout an encounter. All in all the two scars made there way deeper into the library without many stumbles. Even trapped rooms and heavy odds were not slowing them down much.

(The session ends with them resting after another encounter on the second level of the library. I'll have another update next week)

Nice post, PB. The first big Dungeon Crawl of the campaign seems to be going really well. Although I may be banned from using Bronze Warders ever again after this one...
