Session 06
General Summary
The party were surrounded by spiders and ettercaps with a halfling mage in the area too. Things
were looking grim.
Skaven Umbermead cast Phantasmal Killer on Harley which caused him to nearly die of fright.
Only Morgan's aura of courage saved him. The harpoon spider launched fangs at Morgan which
fired out and dug into his skin and tried to then pull him off his feet and reel him into the spider.
After about four or five tries this tactic succeeded and Morgan was pulled prone to the harpoon
spider. Meanwhile Camero pulled out a raging boar which actually held off the large (horse
sized!) spider at the other end of the tunnels. Braken and Camero were fighting the four medium
(man sized) spiders near the larger spider. Gotrek and Harley were fighting the two ettercaps.
Skaven advanced and shouted at the party so loud it caused some to go deaf and hurt all of them.
The party dropped all four of the smaller spiders and the two ettercaps. Skaven then launched a
lightning bolt at the handily arrayed party which caught many of them and nearly all were now
disabled. The lightning bolt also killed the large spider, meaning only the harpoon spider and
Skaven were left. All the party desperately dived into their backpacks and started swallowing
healing potions left right and centre. Morgan then called Sharpbeak to come and help them as
things were that desperate.
The party tried to get to Skaven but the webs in the room were trapping the party and sticking
them in place. Harley and Gotrek threw alchemists fire to burn a path to the spider and halfling.
Skaven fired off more magic at various members of the party. The harpoon spider tried to bite
Morgan but could not get through his platemail. Skaven cast an incantation and ran up the walls
and onto the ceiling! The party melee monsters surrounded the harpoon spider and dropped it.
Skaven went invisible on the ceiling. Braken drunk a potion of See Invis and started telling
everyone where the halfling was.
Sharpbeak arrived and Morgan mounted up. Everyone took pot shots at the approximate location
of the invisible halfling as he tried to flee by running along the ceiling. Sharpbeak's good eyes
helped him follow the track of the halfling and he tried to attack him. Harley and Gotrek got ahead
of the halfling to block the door out. Then Skaven appeared and cast a sheet of flames at Morgan,
Sharpbeak and Harley. That meant he was not visible so all attacked him with missile weapons.
But he was using some other magic to make it hard for them to hit him. Skaven cast a spell which
paralyzed Morgan but Sharpbeak continued to attack the halfling up on the roof. Finally Braken
skewered the mage with a crossbow bolt and the battle was over.
The halfling and his lair, plus the spiders lair were searched and some treasure and three more
wands were recovered. That meant they had 7 of 8 wands. They returned to the surface using
Sharpbeak as a taxi service. Sharpbeak flew off home after much thanks from all and the rest
returned to the city. They picked up the latest version of Stone Tell in the entrance to the city and
then went into Church of St. Cuthbert and gave the wands to Jenya who was overjoyed. They
rested the night. It was three days til the Demonskar Ball.
The next day they returned to the ruins after getting a full map of the known areas from the cultists
that Morgan had converted. Yhey decided it was time to investigate the undead lair which was run
by a gnoll cleric called Tarkilar, who had tried some experiment which had gone wrong and
turned him into an undead. The first chamber they came into contained a collosal skeleton, that of
a tyranasaurus rex! They waded in and destroyed it, but it bit Harley severely a few times in the
process.
