120 liches
120-liches
17 August 2021
You cheated time with the powers of Mordai's new patron Sahaquiel and was able to progress time while gaining a long rest. Having just fought both Irae and Arklem within the last hour, you felt you had the upper hand and pressed your advantage. Mordai remembers that liches can regain spells in their lair (however only up to 8th, so them pressing simplified Irae fight).
Venturing deep inside the acropolis you found skeletons and undead glitchingly form and collapse, something big is underway. You find Arklem desperately trying to channel back spells, but it seemed not too successful. The tether to his soul has weakened, and he himself was weak.
Despite dominating GW for a round, he still has to seek refuge from Faey's arrows on a tower above the acid river. Mordai sends two empowered fireballs above as he's low, destroying his mortal form in a violent acid fire.
You pick up a his skull staff, robes, and grimoire.
Not wasting any more time, you venture further. The rumbling increases as you reach the inner sanctum of the acropolis where there is a large black orb tethered to two green beams of energy. irae is there, she's trying to sacrifice felgolos, as the last green beam is missing.
BREAK
Fight erups. Irae staves of your attacks, tethered to a hidden Retriever below the platform, avoiding the brunt of the damage. Shielding early in the round to make her hard to hit. She chronomancy twins spells on GW, and he saves everything. The scythe is working, but the big rolls are dodged. You all roll amazingly.
Mauls eventually catch up with her, as Faey and Mordai fireballs/singularities or shoots from the sidelines, sniping motes from her crown of stars, and eventually takes down the Retriever. Then, lair tethering herself to GW, he does not care as he hits irae 3 times despite the tether and bigby's hand in front (useless spell).
She's low, she does her last desperation move. She sacrifices herself at the altar. She's instantly locked in place, green energy around her, your attacks bounce off as her face melts in front of you.
Her items fall to the ground, all except one. The scythe. It comes spinning towards the sphere, where a singular bony arm extrudes itself from the orb, with several silver rings visible. The arm catches the scythe.
The darkness of the orb expands, until it covers all that you can see. Then two dark green eyes visible, with a black cat-like swirl within them. Bony skeletal wings, and two arms, both clutching onto Irae's scythe.
NOTES:
- they need to regroup somehow, seed deal with staff
- they can get irae's veil + spider gaze
- they have arklem's grimoire, wand, robes
- arklem wand talks, mostly an item choice thing (bad thing to use if they die with it or spend too long with it)
- seed 3 phase boss in the lair (light in rooms, valindra green, larloch purple)
- they can get their bag of holding back if they keep going (but how?)
- ensure they don't just go back after kiaransalee ports out
- See kiaransalee for fight info.
- Kill one with huge damage as they discover a weakness
- Move to Neverwinter how - she teleports (see doc for ripple)
TODO:
* How does Kiaransalee travel outside teleport? Orb, then what? Recharge?
