Aldebaran V4: Reinforcements have Arrived
General Summary
Having ended last session with the farewells of Luner, Revi, and Mordecai, we'd find Sha and Rozalin taking refuge within an old, abandoned farmhouse. Needing their rest, they'd receive a message in the night from Prouthec. Help would be on its way. And so, starting our next session off we'd learn what kind of help the two of them would be receiving.
Walking along the outskirts of the village, we'd meet our four new adventurers. The frost witch Akyna, an Amurrun capable of freezing her foes and healing her allies. Accompanied by her familiar, Amyra the Raven, what secrets did she hold behind her chilling personality.
Reyna, a brutal Wyvaran bloodrager. Swinging a weapon on par with that of Rozalin's anchor, her quiet demeanor hides the destructive force within her.
The Heroic Blade Lyssa, a Nimbulasa sorcerer with a penchant for roguish stunts. Zipping about the battlefield and casting spells aplenty, she has a strong sense of justice that will surely be tested.
And lastly, Rekka, an Iruxi from the seas. Wielding her bladed scarf and spells, she dances with a sharp fervor that is only matched by her wit... and perhaps her spontaneity.
These four, well three, were hired by Cosiax to assist Sha and Rozalin against the coming threat. Meeting them very early in the morning at the abandonded farmhouse, they'd have only a few moments to explain who they were and what was happening before they'd see a large force of undead headed their way.
Indeed, some were undead that had been slain before, such as the Ghast Gang and Phil. They were angry, mostly at Sha. Not content to let them leave Kathvin alive, they'd advance upon the group, intent on taking their lives. While the undead had numbers on their side, they would still stand no chance against the party. With Lyssa blasting them with well placed spells, Sha dominating their wills, Rekka weaving through the combat, Akyna freezing the lot of them, and Reyna smashing any who got in her way, the undead fell quickly.
Some blows would get through though. In particular, a nasty bite and slam from a Ghoul and Wight on Rekka, and the vicious wear and tear of Rozalin's anchor. Akyna was more than capable of dealing with all the injuries though, her mystical healing mending most wounds. Sha was capable of healing himself, though at some point he would fall to arrows in the combat. Rekka would find a potion on his person, one capable of actually healing him, and have him drink it.
After the combat, the party understood they needed to get out of this village. More undead would be on their way. Heading towards Kathvin crypt, they would look to descend into the Realms down Under. What would they find? We'll have to find out.
