Kingdom on the Brink - Session 70
General Summary
The party long rests and makes the plan on how to enter the Leagallow Estate, Merigold returns and reports what she found. It appears the guards seem to be acting different, undead like. She also saw a skeleton that exuded arcane power giving orders, and Merigold saw something resembling an undead Beholder. they decide to ask Reinoldus to teleport them in. They approach him and he says he can teleport them to a building near the main estate, but he cannot take the entire party and their mounts, they leave behind Amber Kerogen and Duromar's Shield Guardian. Reinoldus uses teleport and they appear right inside an abandoned barn, he quickly searches the immediate area and wishes the party luck. Merigold gives him a high-five and thanks him, Reinoldus teleports away. Merigold scouts ahead on Gregori, she finds a patrol of a Skull Lord and two Bone Claws, heading towards the building the party is in. Merigold makes it back and says there's a patrol heading their way and they have two minutes to decide how to deal with them. The party calls in for some sort of attack or distraction on the main estate using their sending stones, Grankaross responds and says they have something. About a minute later a few boulders come hurling in, but it isn't enough to distract the incoming patrol. The party tries to hide, but the patrol hears something from the building, the Boneclaws move to the far side of the building while the Skull Lord moves towards the open door. The Skull Lord looks inside and sees Uriel and Ashara attempting to hide in a haystack, this provides a distraction for Merigold to sneak attack. The Skull Lord uses its legendary action to summon 5 Zombies, Gregori bites and prones one. Rosemary uses her destroy undead ability and destroys three Zombies, the Skull Lord casts cone of cold on Rosemary, Uriel, and Ashara. A Zombie slams Merigold and "critically" strikes her (for 3 damage), The party quickly kills the last Zombies and focus on the Skull Lord. The Skull Lord is nearly destroyed but it uses its legendary movement to meet up with the two Boneclaws. The party gives chase and destroys the Skull Lord and Uriel and Rosemary move into the Boneclaws reach, they land several strikes but the Boneclaws react and strike them (grappling them in the process). Knott moves up and stuns one and Merigold moves up and strikes several times, Duromar moves Bob to trample the door down, hitting Knott and the Boneclaw. Duromar upcasts scorching ray and destroys one Boneclaw, Uriel's holy avenger deals devastating damage on the last Boneclaw, it doesn't last much longer and is destroyed.
The party moves up and hides behind a building just outside the main estate house, they don't see any guards on the perimeter. Duromar suggests they could use the spell, guards and wards to attempt to control the terrain of the Leagallow Estate. Because of the casting time and verbal components, they decide to clear out a section and set up barricades as the spell is being cast. Uriel leads the way and opens the door, they are confronted by a Ouroban, Pact Lich, Bonepowder Ghoul, and a Masked Wight. Rosemary uses emboldening bond and Merigold moves up and begins to coordinate a strike against the Ouroban, proning him in the process. Duromar starts singing his bladesong and casts haste and charges forward on Bob, trampling the Ouroban. The Bonepowder Ghoul moves through the cracks and attempts to spray grave dust but is easily evaded. The Pact Lich moves up and attempts to hurl Bob through hell, but thanks to Uriel's aura he is unaffected. The Ouroban and Masked Wight attempts to strike Duromar and Merigold, but they are dodged easily. The Pact lich uses its legendary action to cast finger of death, but it's counter-spelled, the party strikes down the Ouroban and the Masked Wight. The Bonepowder Ghoul attempts to cast circle of death but Duromar continues to counter-spell it, the Pact Lich lands several eldritch blasts on Uriel. Bob, Duromar, and Knott strike down the Bonepowder Ghoul. Uriel and Rosemary close the distance on the Pact Lich, Rosemary attempts to stun it but it gets resisted. The Pact Lich is about to fall and in a last ditch effort it tries to use dominate monster on Uriel, but it's resisted and the Pact Lich is struck down.
The party starts to barricade the immediate area and Duromar starts to cast guards and wards, the party keeps watch and as they get closer to finishing to cast the spell they start to see more zombies gather in the courtyard. Uriel starts to barricade the doors and Rosemary and Knott brace the doors; the Zombies start to push on the barricaded doors. They notice the party and start to break the doors, as the party attempts to hold back the horde. Merigold strikes at some of the Zombies that broke through the window, Knott activates a ki form and scares four of the Zombies away. They continue to brace the door and Duromar finishes casting guards and wards. The first level of the estate starts to get locked down and the party moves away from the Zombie horde and lets the doors automatically lock behind them to block the door. The party finds some stairs and move to the lower levels.
The party finds themselves in the basement and move forward, they find a Smaragdine Golem, Iron Golem, and Calra Belastor. Rosemary moves up and casts guiding bolt on Calra and starts to dodge. The Smaragdine Golem moves up and slams Rosemary, Calra uses her legendary actions to summon five skeletons, Calra then casts mirror image on herself. Duromar casts haste on himself and charges on Bob to trample the Smaragdine Golem, Knott moves up and activates his astral self form and strikes the Iron Golem several times. Merigold charges on Gregori and attempts to bite the Iron Golem, Merigold follows it up by casting heat metal (to no effect), the Iron Golem retaliates with a slam. Calra starts to shoot off several ray of frosts at Rosemary and Uriel, which has reduced effects on Uriel. The skeleton Archers fire a volley of arrows at Rosemary, almost all miss, Rosemary catches the last arrow in mid-air and throws it back at one of the Skeletons. Uriel strikes the Smaragdine Golem with his holy avenger and then flies on Ashara towards Calra. Rosemary hits the Smaragdine Golem, leaving it stunned. Duromar finishes it off with an upcasted scorching ray. Knott and Merigold turn their attention to the Iron Golem, landing blow after blow, eventually pummeling it into the ground. Calra casts finger of death on Uriel and follows it up with chill touch, which left him greatly weakened. Uriel starts to smash through several skeletons, he then dismounts Ashara and takes cover, Ashara moves forward and strikes a third skeleton. Calra casts cone of cold, hitting everyone except Duromar and Bob, it has minimal effects. the rest of the party and moves up and enters into melee with Calra, surrounding her on all sides, Ashara lands a devastating rend and Calra attempts to upcast magic missile, but is counter-spelled by Duromar.
