Dragon's Eye II
Right about now the party of paladins feels they may have made the right choices after all. They are faced by a legion of cold wights - two huge hordes piling over them. As the newly devout Gia Smites the whole evil bunch, our trio of holy warriors cuts through the Wights like they weren't even there. Successive waves of the creatures fare no better, in fact their very attacks pile them into small areas to be blasted by heavenly power. Easy money
. Blast skeletons add to the chaos and are detonated with magic. Trsytell sings of deeds of valour to inspire the party.
The party soon comes to a bridge, dizzy with success. After a little scouting, Trystell lures out the Imbued wights with "Shield" to protect her. The mage Presio begins firing of spells to no effect. A retreat to the bridge sees dozens of poison zombies milling around the heros. After the wights are cut down, Gia continues to affirm her faith and do the work of her Lord, her very purity destroying the foul undead as she attempts to turn them. As the zombies lie shattered, the Necromancer is cut down mercilessly.
The party rest for a while in the Necromancer's lair, they are now equipped with several +2 weapons and some magic items. Their confidence has been boosted. Rooting through the magic scrolls and books, Neeme (the thief) declares she has been studying magic for some time now and believes she is quite safe and competent in its use. Taking Presio's equipment for her own, she assures the group she can further assist them with magic (already an accomplished thief and scout).
After setting of an electrical trap, one of the party drinks a potion of absorption and clears a path to the next level.
There is a feeling of foreboding as the paladins carefully move down the passage...
