DAY 416 (23nd Tarsakh)(April) cont ...
Although I was not at all happy about the battle that ensued I must say
that I did find it very thrilling. These creatures, evil as they are, were
not doing anyone any harm, they were just defending their homes. And here we
were slaughtering them.
As Fenrir swept the main hall with his eldritch blasts, myself and Veddic came
in from a side wing. There were guards, driders (dark elf spiders) and triders
(troglodyte spiders), priests and dark elf fighters. The elderly priests and
acolytes ran for cover but everyone else put up a good fight.
As he entered Veddic cast a Briar Web spell at the entrance that very effectively
blocked other guards from coming in from outside. The female cleric, we didn't
know it at the time, was none other than the Vicar of Laogzed, one of the most
powerful people in the city.
She cast a powerful Dictum spell that slowed down Fenrir and paralysed Veddic.
Guards attacked him, but their weapons mainly just clanged off his armour.
Although I was not happy about killing beings that were just defending themselves
I saw now that I had no choice so I turned into an ape and started ripping them
to bits. The Vicar tried some more spells on us, but in the end we prevailed,
killed the guards and fighters and made our way to a door in the south wall.
Here we cornered a terrified dark elf priest who told us where to find the
prisoners. Blasting and ripping up more guards as we went, with Veddic still
slung over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes we made our way back through
the main hall and to where we had been told to look.
Down another corridor we found the next step in our escapade - a set of
stone steps leading down to the dungeons.
