The Chronicles of Risan: Part the Tenth

Now, where were we? Something about Drow... there was an Angel in there somewhere... and the door that opened to a completely different island... something like that...

But before we had much of a chance to deal with that, the door closed and reopened to reveal three Drow and their female leader coming back, and it was on again. While some might have rated our chances of this as a tough fight, we barely blinked before they were down and out.

Before us was more castle, first being a room of junk. Lots of junk. Some money, but mainly junk. The paladin just decided to go for another door, so we got into yet another fight. Seems to happen a lot.

The room contained humans. Lots of humans. One attack from the Warlord put all but one of them out, so they weren't a problem (although that last one keep kicking the Warlord something fierce). Oh, and harpies. Four of them. Two of which were fire harpies. Can you say constant damage just from being in the same area as them? Yowsa! Not to mention them alternatively immobilising, dazing and blinding us! That was just a pain to deal with, and there were times when it looked like we weren't going to make it. Nothing to do but get in there with the big hits. (And nothing of interest in the bodies either.)

After resting up, we encountered more halflings, who told us there were fire dog things above, a room of weapons and more Drow. And that someone evil would kill someone we were supposed to save in a couple of days (what? I didn't take notes, okay?). Since we were foolhardy brave adventures, onwards to the dogs! It wouldn't have been too bad, except for more damned succubuses! Fortunately they weren't quite as capable as one might have thought, but there was some damage handed out at the hands of fellow teammates before the fight was over...
