Haplo II, half-elf cleric wild mage CG. (update 4)An other short session yesterday.
Haplo and the team arrived at archeological site. Imoen scouted forward and discovered a giant snake.
A lonely one. So I decided to test how Khalid could tank with his new armor (the only benefit after being forced to kill Laurel).
With AC -3, he could handle it easily, right? Maybe he will be hit once, but no more.
In fact, no. Khalid approached and the snake was very quick, and bite him immediately, thus provoking disease...
Every other member of the team was shooting/slinging but everybody missed! And then Khalid was hit a second time! (and with those snakes, they wrapped around you and you can not flee).
With only 10 HP meft, Khalid gulp the only major healing potion I had (if I remember correctly, I collect it on Sendai's body) but again, every arrow/bullet missed...
In the third round the snake was wounded, but it bite again, and Khalid panicked !!
Every one shot/sling and finaly the snake died, but Khalid then ran around. If he encountered a new enemy, he was toasted. The time was very loooong, but eventually, he recovered his mind, and then gulp 3 healing potions. Pffou. This snake was expensive. But it could have been worse.
Imoen and Kivan scouted and discovered again groups of giant snake and several huge spiders. This time, no risk, and with a combo of
entangle/
grease, it was rather easy.
The group killed Laryssa (she managed to hold Jaheira but Haplo held her, then she was shot to death). and we answer correctly Brage's riddle.
Back to Nashkel (but with inventory full, Brage's sword was (automatically) left on archeological site...).
Haplo leveled up and is now a cleric L4, wild mage L3.
Then after a good rest, we visited the carnival. We killed Oopah but Gazib managed to escape (bye bye
Agannazar scorcher and
blind spells for Edwin).
We managed to kill Vitiare fast enough and collect his potions (with SCS, i selected half are destroyed in my installation).
My plan against Zordral was good and I killed him rather easily. I entered with the fairy dragon (miror imaged and immune to lightning bolt), Khalid, Jaheira, Kivan, Imoen and Edwin. Haplo waited outside.
Once hostile, Zordral was protected with
ghost armor,
miror image and
shield. I planned to cast
magic missile with Edwin, in order to destroy some miror images, but with shield up, it's a waste, so I decided to cast Melf acid arrow instead (but it was also a waste). Zordal casted
slow, and everyone failed the save. With kobold poisonned arrows, Kivan and Imoen did not manage to poison Zordral but they did poison themselves... But with slow, the poison is less efficient, and after Zordral casted his first and only spell, Haplo entered and casted
hold. Zordral was held and killed (and I also killed Bentha, as a compensation for Gazib's escape)
I bought some expensive items: fireball necklace (I dont' remember the name), shield amulet...
Then go to Nashkel mines.
After collecting frost wand, I entered the house where 3 war dogs wanted to eat us. Khalis was tanking 2 of them while Jaheira was tanking the last one. The others were shooting at range as usual (and Edwin was watching as usual

).
In my installation, fighter-druids as druids are not allowed to wear helmet. So Jaheira is vulnerable to critical hits. And the war dog did one... for 28 HP (in insane it hurts). She was left with 2 HP, but she didn't panick as Khalid can do. I retreat her and gulp 2 healing potions while the dogs were killed by the team. Again an expensive fight, regards to the trash mobs we killed. I should have use a
sleep spell, but I keep them for the mines.
After this, we killed some kobolds (guards, captains, ... even a shaman) without taking any risk (
web used) and collected some new poisonned arrows for Kivan and Imoen (but after Zordral's episode, they are cautious with these ones

)
Next move will be to kill Greywolf and probably to follow with the mines.
