where player’s input lines and die roll and attack macros no longer show in the
chat archive. So I do my best at piecing together what happened.] Opening Scene: It is now: 6:30 am on September 5 th (Day 39 on the
Isle of Dread). The party is near the bugbear compound in the Forbidden City
(Thracia), debating on which entrance to proceed into when Pandelume reaches
into his spell components pouch and pulls out bat fur wrapped in waxed burlap
and decides to cast his new found Wizard Eye spell to have a closer look inside
of the compound. The spell will last for 9 minutes. Among, the things seen in the compound are Bugbear guards at
various entrances, sections where families dwell and children play, a main area
where a throne sits, along with a bed for a pet and an area that is obviously
used by a witchdoctor. The party goes into the south east entrance where bugbear
children are playing as an adult male watches nearby and one child converses
with them until the adult bugbear comes over to chat. They learn that the
bugbear leader, know simply as The Boss and the Shaman Shruzgrap are not in the
compound but likely at Shruzgrap’s place just north of the Temple of Set. When they get to the place, and knock on a double door, a guard
inside says, “Go Away, we’re busy”!. They are having a meeting with a Yuan-ti
inside. Lo Shan attempts to pick the lock on the door and was successful
rolling a 26% needing ≤ 52%. When Lo Shan opens the door, two wide eyed bugbear guards take a
defensive stance, glaring menacingly at them. Pandelume, pulls out a couple gems to offer the guards but they
refuse the offer saying, “Nice gems, but we no take. What is your business here
or do you need to see the sharp point of a blade to leave?” The party tells
them they are on a mission. Through the doorway behind the guards can be seen at least one
other guard and a really tall bugbear in fancy dress with a big wart hog
nearby, along with what looks like a shaman and yaun-ti. Combat Round #01 begins after Initiative rolls are made: (Only the Hits and spells casts are shown) The Yaun-Ti casts a darkness spell in a 15 ft square block at
the front entrance! Xilicien, pulls out a set of 3 nutshells and casts the confusion
spell hoping it affects the two guards at the entrance in spite of them being
in the dark and both fail their saving throw vs spell and are confused causing
one to wander off the other to simply stand there confused. Pandelume, pulls out some sulphur and a tiny ball of bat guano
and cast the fireball into the room. Because of the magical darkness in front
of the door, his aim is a bit off by a few feet but it still hits his intended
targets! The full fire damage is 34 hit points. The wart hot, The Boss and the
Yaun-Ti only took 17 damage because they made their saves while Shruzgrap, and two veteran bugbear guards took the full
damage! The fireball kills the two veteran bugbears, the wart hog and
Shruzgrap! Lo Shan runs through the darkness which disorenants him having
him turn north eastward after bumping into the confused guard that is wandering
off! Bugbear #03, continues to wander off confused moving out of the
magical darkness to the north. Bugbear #8, stands confused still after failing a saving throw
vs spell. Lord Cromther, slashes Bugbear #10 for 7 damage with the long
sword (double specialized)! Round #02 of Combat! Zhora, tries to run in but the disorientation has her running
back outside! Maxmillian, runs inside and the darkness sends him going north
west out of it, he strikes Bugbear #10 for 6 damage with the long sword! Pandelume, tries something by closing his eyes and walking 20
strides through the darkness to try to stay straight through and apparently it
works! Lo Shan, uses his Iron Fist attack to pound Bugbear #10 for 7
damage, defeating him! Bugbear #09 continues to wander off. Bugbear #08, makes his save vs the continued effect of the
confusion spell, so he snaps out of it! Lord Cromther, slashes Bugbear #02 for 4 damage with the long
sword! Round #03 of Combat! Pandelume, casts the fireball spell again dealing 34 damage. The
Boss takes the full damage, defeating him! The Yuan Ti Half-blood and Bugbear
#03 take half damage but this still defeats Bugbear #03! Bugbear #05, slashes Lord Cromther for 4 damage with the long
sword! Bugbear #04, slashes Lo Shan for 5 damage with the long sword! Camlin, runs through the darkness, winding up next to Lo Shan! Zhora, attempts to run inside again, this time she ends up
bumping into Camlin and a dead bugbear! Xillicien, casts the magic missiles spell at the bugbears, for
4, 5, 2, 3 damage, which sends the Yuan-Ti half-blood dropping to the floor
defeated! Maximillian, flanks Bugbear #02 and slashes him for 7 damage, defeating
him! Pandelume, cast the Magic Missiles at Bugbear #08, for 19 total
damage defeating him! Lord Cromther, slashes Bugbear #05 for 7 damage with the long
sword! Round #04 of Combat! Camlin, fires his magical Foeseeker +1 long bow at Bugbear #01,
hitting for 7 piercing damage! Zhora, slashes, Bugbear #01 for 10 damage with the two-handed
sword, defeating him! Xilician, casts the magic missile spell for 3, 2, 3, 4 damage to
Bugbears, 4, 5, 7 & 9! Maximillian, hits Bugbear #07 for 12 slashing damage with the
long sword! Pandelume, casts the magic missile spell for 5, 5, 5, 4 & 2
damage at Bugbears #07 & #09 defeating them both! Bugbear #08, hits Xilicien with his footman’s mace for 5
slashing damage! Lord Cromther, Hits Bugbear #05 for 5 slashing damage with his
long sword, defeating him! 2 nd attacks: None hit 3 rd attacks: Camlin’s arrow hits Bugbear #04 for 5 damage, defeating him! Round #05 of Combat! Zhora, hits Bugbear #08 for
17 slashing damage with the two-handed sword, defeating him! End of combat! Searching the bodies and buildings found at 500 gp in sacks and
a scroll that no one in the party can read. The Boss is wearing a jeweled head
band. Shruzgrap’s weapons were a footman’s flail and throwing axe.
Pandelume scans the building with the detect magic spell. The
newfound sword, ring and scroll glow in a magical aura. After that he cuts off the heads of The Boss,
Shruzgrap and the Yuan-ti Half-blood.
