And Electra dim doors to the top of the dam!
Against his better judgement, Brandark falls back away from the skeletal creature.
By Dawnflowers grace, what in the gods is that thing.
Don't know but i want nothing to do with it
Round Ten
The Scorpion-like creation attacks Brandark but misses.
Elektra sees the creature and Dimension Doors to the top of the dam. Glistenwing alights on the Elven Mage's shoulder and travels with her master.
Stone turns and heads of the stairs.
Brandark turns and leaves the room.
Flynn turns and run.
This leaves brave Garrath. He sees he is alone against this terrible looking thing. He too turns and follows the party back up the stairs to the top of the dam.
The scorpion-like creature does not pursue, but stays in the room with the model.
Rounds Eleven through Thirteen
It takes three rounds for the party to reunite with Elektra at the top of the dam. The frighten state quickly wears off.
"OOOK that was unexpected. I do not want to tackle that again. Not without the right ways to bolster me. Maybe we should wait till tomorrow and return in full strength!"
The party has cleared the upper level. You can rest in the structures on top of dam.
I don't want to face it again, but I am thinking that we need to push, as this dam will not hold to much longer.
Brandark shakes his head as he contemplates the creature again.
Anyone know what that was ?
Electra confers with her familiar to discuss their enemy.
She then shrugs."It seems it is just a construct.
But then in Thassilon a construct can be a vessel for mightly abilities and destruction!"
So it's a construct, Anything we need to know about it?
Stone, does our Lady have anything that might bolster our resolve to face that thing. I know we should be able to bring it down quickly.
|
Yes, I can bolster your resolve. But I think it would be more effective after encountering the beast. I believe if you lead in I can catch any that run on the way out.

Brandark grimaces, and grips his axe tightly.
He then starts to slowly make his way back down to the room with the scary scorpion.
As he walks, he mumbles to himself.
Ach, I dunna about tha' thin', a few gaod whaps shauld deal wit
I have something that could help actually.. It will strengthen your defenses, though most of the magic i used is designed for retreat and interrogation. You would have to wait until we engage the beast first however, after that i can cast it.
After the party regroups, you once again descend back down into the belly of the dam.
Electra ponders for a moment.
"Let us check the other room?"
Fair enough, Flynn, if you could do your checks please
Brandark moves towards the other door, keeping an eye out on the ugly scorpion.
yeah, one minute Flynn checks for traps
Flynn checks the doors. He does not find any traps. When Brandark enters the room, he sees a narrow chamber. It is empty save for a long, ten-foot-wide pool. The waters are swirling. The watery creature is near the bottom. There is an underwater tunnel connecting the rooms.
Well, I see our watery friend. So I guess the scorpion it is, as I cannot breathe water right now.
Brandark steps back from the waters edge, and describes what he saw to the others.
The Scorpion will go last in the Rounds.

Stone will move to where he can get an angle on the creature while trying to keep his distance. He will then raise his crossbow but thinking he may need something a little strong decides to use a spell instead.

Garrath readies to enter through the north door.

Brandark readies an attack.
Round One
Garrath flies into a rage and storms against the Scorpion-like creation, as he grows to the size of a giant. He stops in front of the stairs leading down into the pool. With his now over-sized reach weapon he thrusts the Lucerne Hammer toward the terrible looking construct. But simply misses his target.
Coming though big man, mind your step.
Brandark runs across the room under Garrath, taking care not to trip him.
He then sets himself up along the wall ready to go down to fight the Scorpion thing.
I am not looking forward for this, but let us bring this thing down.
After enlarging Garreth Electra quickly casts haste!"
Flynn takes shots at the monster with his bow
