Could These Things Be Any More Disgusting?

13 February 2008-

Most of this week's session was taken up with a major battle between the PCs and the flesh golems/undead/demons/whatever. The critters in question were compiled of various rotting body parts, so normal descriptors seem to fall a little short, here...

Anyway, they charged across the cage in which most of us were locked, with two groups of several smaller ones and one big one in the middle. Things got off to a good start when Jeff's half-giant took off the arm of the big one with a thrown axe, which was especially useful because the critter had been wielding a large steel club. Brian's bard teleported outside the cage to be in a better position to provide fire support, although there were some minor aspersions cast against his character as a result.

Things began in earnest when the critters closed with our three fighters: Jeff's aforementioned half-giant, Craig's wild elf on the left flank, and Bruce's centaur on the right. eBill's Legolas-like wild elf archer fired arrows from outside the cage (he had been trapped outside when the door slammed), and eMike's Ellyllon (pixie) sorcerer used Lightning and Stone Missile spells from near the ceiling of the cage. The smaller critters closed and grappled, and then attacked with knives while they were climbing all over us (they had extra arms, you see...).

Brian's bard, who had teleported outside the cage, proved invaluable by letting loose with a gale-force Shape Air that kept several of the smaller critters from overpowering the centaur, but she also proved effective by first ramming the critter climbing over her shield into a wall, and then using her Karate (no, really!) to all-out attack the big guy with two back kicks from her hooves which finished him off for Jeff. Craig's elf, on the other side of the room, was able to fend off the bad guys with the help of his dual-attack and his fire-support team of eBill and eMike.

After we finished them off, we discovered that the critters were evidently created in a sort of workshop, where there were many body parts seemingly set aside for this particualr use. Things are definitely a little ghoulish down here...
