The Chronicles of Risan: Part the Twenty-Second

Emerging from under the bridge, we found two... three surprises. One, we had lost our dwarf. Two, we found our old paladin (and now he was old). Three, we found a new human warlock by the name of Djenie (or something). Huh.

We moved into the city, and decided to start in on the old slave area, and headed to the first building, merely a cliff climb away. It was a mini fort, with battlements, complete with goblins! Wow... goblins... that's really classic... I head up the battlements while the others go into a nearby room. While I'm dealing with the goblins and get shot at by a troll from inside (who had two minotaurs with him), the others are dealing with something that has tentacles for a face! We finish and rejoin around the same time, and turn our attentions to the three inside.

Have to say that the Warlord somehow can bust out this great ability where he creates these two hands, which grabbed the minotaurs (one hand each) and smashed them together. Pretty much dealt with them entirely by himself. I was shooting the troll from afar, and finally decided to head in for some contact beating up. Unfortunately he died before I got there. Damn him. Oh well.

Moving on to the next building, we open the door and spy a statue, some tanks of dead things... and a Drow Wizard Necromancer (whom I greet cordially, being the only Elvish speaker, with "What are you doing there, Drow scum?"). Yeah, another fight. Complete with another Gloomweb beast and a Web Golem. I concentrate on the Drow Necromancer (there's nothing good there), and smack him around... a lot... although I don't get the killing blow in. After some rounds of smacking, we manage to collapse the forces quickly within each other.

We are progressing really slowly, and after moving to these two buildings and... a minute or so of combat, we turn in for the night...
