End Session
Eleasius 8
At midnight, Zanakin creates a Veil spell to make the party appear as hobgoblins guarding a hobgoblin shaman. He concentrates on the spell to give it lasting time, so their movement is at 15’. Azorin uses Pass Without a Trace on the party for security as well.
By morning, the party encounters a patrol of trolls, a guard hill of humanoids, and early morning a large company of humanoids. Tongues spell allows Azorin to communicate with the hobgoblins that challenge them. No fighting ensures, which was the plan.
The Fortress:
By late morning, Azorin brings the party to a secluded river cave on the bottom of the small mountain where the fortress is located. The party enters the cave, and follows the shallow underground river through darkness to an inner cave-lake.
From the cave-lake, pulleys and other mechanisms bring water into the upper floors of the fortress. Azorin guides the party to the opening at the top-most part of the cave to enter the Eldritch’s lair. They party uses levitate and fly magic’s to gain entrance.
The Eldtritch Lair:
Once inside the upper fortress (Eldritch Lair), Hide from Animals, Invisibility, Silence, and Gaseous Form allows the party to split into two groups and maneuver through the passage ways protected by half-sleeping Hill Giants, Dire Wolves, and Stone Giants. They luckily are unnoticed as they slowly move through the passages under Azorin’s guidance. They stop at a massive supplies room located outside the Eldritch’s King’s Chamber.
Still in Gaseous form, Maythor recons the Eldritch’s chamber to find it guarded on the outside by a stoic Stone Giant and Dire Wolf. Inside the massive 200’ by 300’ chamber (with 60’ ceilings), he spies the massively huge Eldritch speaking with a Stone Giant Elder. Along the nearest wall is another Stone Giant guard. Along the ceiling hang at least 4 iron ages, occupied by select prisoners of the Eldritch.
