Kingdom on the Brink - Session 10
General Summary
The party heads back to the opening of the cave to get a short rest and get their gear repaired, once they get there they see Runsha has come back and has news. A group was sent from the capitol with at least 200 knights, and he had reported to them the events that have led to the abandonment of Hillfar. The group gets ready to head back into the cave and they continue down their original path, they come across 3 blue Spiders and a Drider, Artimus opens up with a fireball and Oneiro fires a grasping arrow at the Drider. The blue Spiders disappear while the Drider slowly moves towards the group, Runsha closes in with the Drider while the rest of the group takes up defensive positions at the back. The Spiders reappear near the group and begin to attack, but the group quickly kills them, they focus their fire on the Drider. Runsha attacks the Drider and shoves it away with his shield, the Drider charges but collapses do to the continual damage from the grasping arrow. The party begins to search the room, Runsha slowly patrols the immediate area, Artimus collects some spider silk with Hendreds help, Oneiro and Ashara find two human bodies with a few potions and a nice looking sword which they take to be identified. Oneiro then goes to look at the Drider, as he has never seen such a creature before, the rest of the party begins to pile up the corpses and burn them.
The party pushes on, they find themselves going through an area with a lot more webbing. Ashara and Runsha push forward but are greeted by several shots from some Driders who then charge the group, there are also several giant Spiders. Artimus uses a fireball and the Giant Spiders charge, they attempt to web the party but are only successful on entangling Hendred. Runsha and Ashara are ferociously fighting against a numerically superior enemy, Artimus and Hendred attempt to even the odds by casting bless and slow, a giant Spider breaks through and is able to web Oneiro but Thorne runs up and kills that spider. Runsha goes down and Ashara clicks her boots of speed and grabs Runsha to try and make it back to friendly lines, she gets bitten, before the paralysis sets in she shoves Runsha's body towards the party. Thorne begins to focus on the giant Spiders, slowly evening the odds, Oneiro manages to catch the attention of a Drider who begins to chase him down the tunnel. During the fight Artimus goes down so Hendred uses her channel divinity to bring Runsha and Artimus back into the fight, Runsha smites the second Drider and shoves it away from him, the drider charges back at Runsha and downs him a second time. Artimus launches some magic missiles and manages to kill a Drider, Thorne throws several hand axes at the Drider chasing Oneiro and is able to goads it into breaking off its chase. Runsha is able to regain consciousness and the group begins to turn the fight to their favor, finally killing the last of their foes. The party licks their wounds and neutralize the poison in Ashara so she's no longer paralyzed, Oneiro begins to set fire to all the webbing in the area which startles a Tabaxi named Swift Paws. Swift Paws slowly sneaks towards the group, she's been trapped in the cave and unable to get out, after several tense moments the group decides to help Swift Paws. They head back to camp where the group start to get ready to rest. Artimus had turned invisible earlier and attempted to peak at what Runsha was writing in his journal, Hendred and Artimus get Swift Paws some food and get to know her, Oneiro and Thorne talk about what had happened earlier with Oneiro mindlessly burning everything. Artimus sends his familiar to scout the cave. The group long rests and Ashara attunes to the sword.
The group gets up and Oneiro decides he wants to cook the purple Mushrooms he found earlier, by some miracle he manages not to fatally poison the party, meanwhile Ashara can be seen un-equipping most of her weapons besides her sword. Armed with the intel Artimus's familiar brought the group heads to the closest unexplored area, Swift Paws scouts ahead and reports that there's 4 of the blue spiders ahead. The party slowly moves forward to try and get prepared to strike, but a Roper launches it's tendrils at Runsha, their position is given away. The Spiders disappear and the party focus's on the Roper, Runsha moves up and begins to dodge as Thorne and Swift Paws charge the Roper, Thorne gets restrained by one of the tendrils. Oneiro fires an arrow and is able to banish the Roper, freeing Thorne, with no enemies in sight at the moment Runsha moves deeper into the room. A second Roper makes itself known to the group when it attempts to grapple Runsha with its Tendrils, The blue Spiders reappear within melee range of the party and begin to attack, managing to land a bite on Ashara. When the first Roper returns from its banishment Thorne unleashes an attack, Then Artimus launches a fireball which killed 3 three Spiders, he also downed Swift Paws and hurt Thorne because both were within the blast radius. Ashara goes into a rage and proceeds to viciously attack the final blue Spider, she has blood in her eyes. Hendred moves up and heals Swift Paws, most of the party turns their attention to the last Roper. Thorne, Gareth, Runsha, and Swift Paws charge the roper, Hendred and Oneiro find themselves dealing with an enraged Ashara who seems to be unable to tell friend from foe. Swift Paws gets grappled by one of the tendrils and gets reeled towards the Roper which bites her, rendering her unconscious, Runsha and Thorne work together to distract it and Gareth throws his Javelin of Lightning at it. Artimus uses another fireball on the Roper and the trio moves in to land the killing blow. Hendred tries to get Ashara to come to her sense through the Calm emotions spell, but fails, Ashara turns her attention to Oneiro and proceeds to land several heavy blows to him. Oneiro uses his burning hands at point blank range and yells at the party to get back, Ashara lands several more sword blows and Oneiro jabs an arrow into Ashara and banishes her. Upon her return Hendred attempts to use her turn undead ability, but Runsha moves in and smites Ashara, at the same time Artimus launches a fireball which finally downs Ashara. Her rage is broken.
Ashara awakes, she appears to have regained control. Hendred goes up to Ashara and motions to her to get on her level, she tells Ashara never to do that again and proceeds to knock Ashara out, rendering her unconscious again. Thorne collects his Hand Axes and head towards Artimus to have some strong words.
