As they travel the area both Natalia and Vaneer notice in
the distance the signs of landslide and the shape of a person sticking out from
the rubble and so the group go to investigate.
The corpse sticking out of the landside had obviously been
there for a while as it was well rotted, by Vaneer’s estimation at least two
decades.
The group pull the corpse from the rubble and discoverer a
shield with a coat of arms which none of them could identify but they agree to
take the shield for further research when the eventually return to Wyvernshore.
Before continuing towards the east, they set to burying the
corpse with a proper burial.
Whilst travelling east, Natalia casts a Commune with Nature
spell which alerted her to a small number of “Non” natural creatures in their area.
The group agree to investigate the druid’s findings as Otto
covers them within an invisibility sphere.
After a short amount of travelling they soon come across several
hills with various openings, the group wait under the invisibility and after a
while a creature eventually emerges from one of the openings.
The creature appeared to be a mix of a weasel and a badger
but with eight legs, a sleek body and golden/red fur.
The group study the creatures for a short while and after
figuring out that they were possibly magical beasts of some sort, though
Natalia felt that the creatures weren’t a threat and was happy to leave them
be. So, the group continue to travel eastward.
As they make their way through the hills they soon find
another liar up on the plateau overlooking the valley, Otto again casts another
sphere of invisibility and begin to observe.
As dusk begins to settle a creature the group recognises as
a Chimera flies into the cave carrying the corpse of a deer between its jaws.
The group agree that a Chimera couldn’t be left to run amuck
and should be dealt with now, before heading up to the plateau Otto casts
resist Acid on everyone as he noticed the dragon head on the Chimera was of the
black kind.
When they enter the cave still under the invisibility a
single chimera could be seen eating though there were another two caves it
seemed leading off from this main cave. The lion head on the chimera obviously
smelt the group as they approached and gave a mighty roar as the creature moves
in their direction.
Further roars could be heard from the other caves,
Miro takes charge and attacks the Chimera dealing lethal
damage and kills the Chimera outright.
The group moves towards the source of the other roars in the
chamber to the left where they find a further three chimeras,
One of the chimeras instantly breathes a stream of acid on
the group which has no effect on them,
Natalia starts casting,
Vaneer casts Holy smite at one of the chimeras blinding the
creature,
Otto casts disintegrate on another chimera injuring it
critically,
Boss shots at the same chimera and kills it with an arrow to
the eye,
The third chimera breathes acid at the group still dealing
no damage,
The blinded chimera jumps down from the ledge it was on and
tries to attack Hugo but misses,
Hugo attacks the blinded chimera and hits it twice,
Miro flanks the chimera with Hugo and kills the creature,
Natalia’s spell completes and summons an earth elemental,
The elemental attacks and hits the remaining chimera twice,
Natalia casts flamestrike and hits,
Vaneer also casts flamestrike and hits,
Otto casts disintegrate which kills the final chimera.
With no healing required Vaneer is a little lost as what to
do as the group take a minute to recover from the combat.
