Session 34: Arinoth Report

General Summary

29th Misuthar 836PD
Jakuki opens up with a blind blast of thunder into the room, then forces his way past the thug he finds in the darkness. Ongar shuffles into view, feeling sorry for himself and sitting himself down on the stairs by which they entered. He's seen to by a tired Theia, who heals him slightly and steadies him before turning her attention back to the noises of fighting beginning to emanate from the magical darkness.
Roderick barrels in, finding and dispatching a thug. Ceonwulf likewise charges in, finding him and Jakuki and tripping over the fallen foe. He turns back to Roderick and shouts for him to back up. The half-orc steps around what feels like a shelf and bumps straight into a huge figure, swinging ineffectually at it. He is soon joined by the dwarves and Gwen; the gathered figures are subsequently blasted by a sudden, biting magical cold. Roderick casually absorbs this with a ward, as does Jakuki albeit less successfully. Ceonwulf shrugs it off, but Gwen takes the sudden frost full force, knocking her unconscious to the floor. Ceon wakes her with a divine-augmented shake and then charges toward the unseen foe. He takes a glaive to his side, which then reverses course and wings Roderick as well.
Entering the darkness, Ongar and 2K blast the back of the room with firebolts and a scattering of arrows, some of which elicit howls of pain. Between blows, Roderick swings several times, eventually connecting and staggering his huge opponent with a booming attack. The darkness drops, and the huge figure of an oni - Arinoth - looms over the arranged party. 2K fires at, and Theia lashes out at the suddenly exposed foe, and he crumples to the ground before them.
Checking themselves over in the sudden peace, it seems evident that the team are fairly beaten up but agree that time is of the essence. Theia tends to Gwen's most serious wounds, then the group begin methodically searching the room under Gwen's instruction. After a few minutes, a false wall is discovered, leading into a large recess containing a pile of glittering treasure - Zeke's hoard!
