My game sesson on Sunday afternoon was just too good to pass up posting, to get reactions. After reading through the "Lich Queen's Beloved" adventure in issue #100, I would have thought it near to impossible for the party to succeed in the endeavor of destroying the Lich-Queen. But, much to my surprise, they actually succeeded. Granted 4 out of 6 player characters met their demise, but it did work out.
This is my first attempt at using the message boards, so I am just curious as to how much info people would like for me to post about this final, epic encounter.
Here is a list of what the party consisted of:
1.) Half-orc Paladin/Vassal of Bahamut
2.) Human Fighter/Weapon Master wielding two Bastard Swords
3.) Human Psychic Warrior
4.) Human Monk16/Fist of Zuoken1
5.) Human Cleric3/Wizard3/Mystic Theurge10/Archmage2
6.) Elf Mindweaver6/Force Weaver10/Exhalted Arcanist1
I suppose it is worth mentioning that in one of the previous adventures, the party hunted down and obtained Concluder, one of the nine Swords of Answering. The Fighter/Weaponmaster had the privilage of wielding that sword.
The Paladin/Vassal went straight for the Lich-Queen, took a few disintegrates to the face (6, to be exact, and saved on each one) and then managed to Sunder the Scepter of Ephelomon. Then he tried to sunder the Lich-Queen's sword--and much to my chagrin, succeeded in that as well. *blink, blink*
Since the Lich-Queen's spell resistance was almost impossible to beat, the mage in the party used a scroll from ages ago in party treasure: a Scroll of Trap the Soul. And, darn my dice, it came up a natural 1 on the save....
To make a long story short, a quick plane shift to Celestia and the Lich-Queen was no more....
So, I'd like to hear what everyone thinks of this. The adventure was great, My players loved it, and were just as shocked as I when they survived!
