Name: Naxx
Race: Nosoi Psychopomp
Classes/levels: Familiar to a 15th level arcanist
Adventure: Sound of a Thousand Screams
Location: Former location of the Weeping Grove
Catalyst: Random Encounter and some bad rolls
The Gory Details: The PCs had resolved to search the forest for the castle that keeps teleporting. It was their first time exploring and camping in a while. When the evening watches come, one person rolls an encounter. He hits a high number, and gets six of these guys at CR 14 each. Unknown to them, each one of these guys can produce four clones, but my math failed and I made only 3 each. So, out of the deeper darkness emerges 24 creatures that had the party surrounded.
Seeing that they are surrounded and learning that fort was their worst save, the arcanist uses a limited wish to summon a tornado. All the enemies and one melee ally go flying around. Two of the real monsters get off Prismatic Spray. I rolled for everyone, but then the arcanist poijnts out that Naxx the familiar also needs some rays. He gets three hits and fails all three saves.
Naxx is turned into stone, sent to the Plane of Earth, and then lightning bolts blow him into pieces.
The players have a way to bring him back, but first they must go to the Plane of Earth and find several specific pebbles.

Name: Syra
Race: Human, Female
Class/level: Witch 6
Adventure: River Runs Red
Location: Mud bowl, hex P
Catalyst: A shortcut to mushrooms
The adventurers had been given the quest of bringing back black rattlecap mushrooms. Finally they locate some in a stinky mud bowl that leaves Netvor, the Eldrich Kinght-in-training gagging. The sorcerer king walks around the perimeter picking ‘shrooms, while Syra uses the fly hex to swoop in and keep her feet clean. The Tendriculous, patiently waiting, grabs both of them in a surprise round and eats the witch in round 1. The king is soon to follow, and both are stuck inside, paralyzed and being eaten by acid. Netvor can hardly hit it, so the warpriest of Gorum goes charging in. He eventually gets eaten, but was not paralyzed. Despite a massive penalty for being grappled and using a greatsword one-handed, he splits open the plant and kills it off, rescuing his brother but was too late for the witch. She was eventually reincarnated as an elf.

Name: Lucky Meyvind and mount Seth
Race: Halfling, Female and wolf, male
Class/level: Cavalier 7
Name: Netvor Orlovsky
Race: Tiefling (curse from Asmodeus), male
Class/level: Cavalier (Marshall) 1, Arcanist (black blade) 5
Adventure: Rivers runs red
Location: Boggard swamp
Catalyst: Massive attack
The party had just come back from seeing some fey being killed by trolls, including a friendly grig. Netvor had been studying up on boggard society and even learned their language, possibly to try establishing peace or at least spy on them. When they arrived in boggard land, their scout tells them the boggards and the troll leaders are all together in one place. They hatch a plan, grow their flying mount to huge so all can fit, and go off launching fireballs. Both trolls and boggards fling missiles at them to little effect. The party is running out of spells, so some of them land. Lucky is boxed in by the boggard king (fighter 5), the two-headed troll, and Hargulka. Both Lucky and Seth fall to the four attacks of the two-headed troll. Netvor challenges Hargulka, but loses the damage race and falls. Hargulka is taken down by warpriest sword and fireballs, and the detonation of his necklace of fireballs eventually kills off the wounded.
