SESSION 176 – November 8, 2017

We have an incoming message, the Dark King’s forces on the other side of the west door are asking to be let in to re-supply. We do not respond, but go over and have the others open the door a small amount of it’s 50 foot capacity and as the Dark King’s forces enter, they have prisoners, among them Owyn and Laurente. Rallion uses one of the fire guns to burn most of the men and some of the automata. Kalgun smashes a man, and Bavmora also attacks. The men fail morale and join us in fighting the last two automata which are soon smashed.

We then meet the scarred “Righteous Halberd” AKA Aubry Grodecop. Axel tells him that Em is alive in Midmark. He thought she was dead, we explained that she thought he was dead and that the lat Talon rescued her.

Kilmar is with him and we send him off with him to try to keep him alive. Aubry and his men will not join us in our assault, they think it is certain death. We also find Jori, and he, Owyn, and Laurents don power armor from some other cases and each have 2 lightning axes.

Aubry tells us that a city of dark elves, lots of automaton of all sizes, and the wizard worm (Finkleworm) are between us and the Dark King. We ask him to get word to The Silence that we are pressing the attack and will leave the door open, and urge them to take all the equipment they can carry. The surviving islanders of the Dark King who surrendered opt to go with Aubry.

We return to to command center and Owyn, Laurente, and Jori will stay to watch our backs, as there is not enough room for them to go with us on the elevator.

We ascend and stop at a “room” with four doors, one in each direction, each with a green light. Nash asks Serithaz to scan, and we learn there are 19 dark elves and 8 other things he can sense. They really don’t want us to go to the north, as that is the way to continue upward.

We elect to open the north door and make a run for it, Kalgun runs out and engages one of the 4 berserkers we see, and the still enlarged Bavmorda does the same. Rallion runs across and opens the elevator so that others may enter.

Kalgun is actually hurt a bit as is Bavmorda by berserkers.

Nash tosses a bouncing Betty to the right and kills 2 and wounds 2. Axel tosses the other to the left and wounds 4. All the others run across to the elevator.

Darkness is cast and only a few of us are injured. Two dark elves open the door to the north of this new elevator. Sturloc closes it as those still outside run in and we ascend. Suddenly, the elevator stops and gas begins to hiss and poor in at our feet and begin to rise…..
