Wow, what a great night of gaming the last to sessions have been! My party "The heroes of Cauldron" entered Shatterhorn on game day, fought there way through the guards and made there way down into the spire, where with little fan fare the defeated Ssithzar (sp?) and his mohorg ally. For some completely unexplicable reason the fighter decides to pry one of the gemstones from the alter oops!
After nearly being killed by the acid he managed to beat his way out only to be captured by denziens of the temple. Who realize a rescue is probably on its way and begin to prepare a reception.
The party cleric whips out his handy scrying bowl and begins searching for the missing party member, and finds him. Then for some unexpicable reason instead of teleporting into rescue there comrade, they begin searching the room, which leads to finding the secret door to area 2, but not the one to area 21. It also leads to the curious rogue/wizard/bloodmage (smoking eye template) into area 3 and the medusa's.
A surprise round finds the rouge in dire straits and then rolling a 1 on her init doomed her as the medusas easily laid in a total of 25d6 killing her. The party reacts and begins an 6 round battle with the medsua.
Meanwhile our captured friend is drug up the ladder and into Embril's chamber where he almost escapes his bonds but is spotted at the last minute. The spell weaver hits him with two enervation and then embril magic jars him and makes of to Carceri etc etc.
The party lets all this happen because they decide to true res the dead PC before going of to rescue there other comrade. The look on there face when the teleported inot the previously scryed location was priceless, when they made it up to Embril room and fought a tough battle vs the spell weaver and the drow/elf and found only the husk of there comrade it was great!!!! Oh yeah and the frosting on the cake. The spell weaver hit the paladin with prismatic spray and he failed his save an was shifted to another plane (Carceri I think)!!!
I know they will go back to Cauldron to true res him as well and then bang! Nerull will be pissed! And then they will set off to find there other lost member!
The Cagewrights have suddenly regained the advantage!
