Session 4 - Hunted

General Summary

As the group awakens on the fourth floor of the dungeon, they are immediately confronted by Baron Ambrose Von Stroud, a menacing Vampire who declares his intent to hunt them down and kill them before they can progress further. However, he offers them a slim chance at survival by informing them of weapons scattered throughout the floor that are effective against him. Despite the ominous threat, the group remains resolute and begins their exploration.
Their first encounter leads them to a sealed room where they meet Kinpotep, a mummified man claiming centuries of existence through self-mummification and magic. Unimpressed and put off by his demeanor, the group swiftly moves on, leaving him behind.
Further exploration brings them face to face with two Mimics, resulting in a skirmish where Darius dispatches one while the other drags Caprinus into a pit. Caprinus ingeniously transforms into a pterodactyl to escape, narrowly avoiding danger. Their journey continues with the defeat of a Gibtas Bounder and the unlocking of a door, revealing Wolfsong barricaded inside, only to be swiftly dispatched by Baron Ambrose Von Stroud.
Their path leads them to overhear two rangers, Aldor and Earlindor, discussing their concerns about the demons orchestrating the dungeon. After aligning with Aldor, the group learns they need a total of five members to challenge the arena and proceed.
In a stroke of luck, they discover silver powder in a medical lab, a crucial weapon against the Baron. A secret passage leads them to a confrontation with the Baron's Thralls and Ochre Jelly, where they are aided by Sister Virexia.
With Virexia gone, they search for a replacement, encountering various characters such as a reluctant pixy named Whimsy and a suspicious prisoner named Rylan before finally recruiting Siona Gallow, a silent but skilled shadowy figure.
Their quest for weapons continues, culminating in a deal with a demon for a sun staff, though not without further losses as Virexia falls to the Baron. They replace her with Zinnaeris, a dark elf, completing their team.
The group finally challenges the arena, facing off against Vash, Isabella, Liliana, Zahid, and their leader Galadrian. Through strategic combat and individual prowess, they emerge victorious, with Darius, Caprinus, Enigma, Siona, and Zinnaeris overcoming their opponents.
Their triumph is short-lived as the Baron himself appears, congratulating them on their victory, but undoubtedly plotting their next challenge.
