29th Pharast 18 - Shadow Councils, Boggards and feeble minds

After a spot of breakfast, the group head their way into the Boggard camp under a sphere of invisibility spell.

After investigating the camp, they decide to make way to one of the three huts that lead directly to the underground passages of the Boggards where they cast stone shape over the opening which seals it off for good.

They then head to another of the huts and cast a web spell over its entrance to prevent anything from escaping from below.

This left the hut at the furthest side where they drop down into the tunnels below and find themselves in what appeared to be a kitchen.

The group head towards an intersection which lead to an underwater escape cave and stone shape the passage closed before returning to the tunnels where they begin to clear out the inhabitants.

The tunnels were perfect for controlling the combat, there were a couple of small skirmish’s but the denizens didn’t put up much of a fight till they find the ‘Throne’ room.

Sitting upon a make shift throne that looked like it could fall apart at any minute was a large rotund Boggard along with 5 ‘Beefcaked’ Boggards as his guards.

“Attack Minions!” the Boggard Chief screams before anything could be said,

Vaneer casts Flamestrike hitting all creatures,

Miro attacks one of the guards and hits,

Hugo follows Miro’s example and attacks the same guard,

The Boggard guards attack the group and manage to only land a blow on Vaneer,

The Boggard Chief casts his own flamestrike scorching most of the group and kills one of his own minions,

Bob attacks one of the other minions and kills it,

Natalia casts a flamestrike spell at the chief as he mentions the Legless lady?

Otto casts a cone of cold killing another minion and injuring the chief and remaining minions further,

Otto then follows up with a quickened fireball which kills all the remaining foes including the chief.

Which the Boggard camp cleared out the group take time to investigate the area and discoverer a map which has a circle on a specific part and labelled ‘Legless Lady’

After some comparison, the group realise that the so called ‘Legless Lady’ was actually in the same area as them so they leave decide to leave the Boggard camp and investigate this lead.

Heading North east the group past the exiled Boggard and throw him the head of the now defeated chief.

When they reached the area marked on the map they find that all the surrounding plant matter was in an advanced decaying state.

As they start to investigate the area a large snake like creature (Naga) with a human head erupts from her hiding place flashing her fanged teeth as they dripped with venom.

The group try to talk to the Legless Lady and even offer her a place on the newly formed Shadow Council (What an honour!!) but she scoffs at offer and just laughs at them (The nerve!!) in her retort to the group she attempts to charm the group but only manages to grasp the feeble minds of Miro and Otto.

Vaneer casts a magic circle against evil to break the mind effects on Miro and Otto,

Hugo attacks the Naga but misses,

Vaneer casts Holy smite on the Naga,

Natalia summons an earth elemental which attacks and hits the Naga,

Otto now in control of his own mind casts a spell but fails to complete the casting,

Otto follows through with a quickened fireball which does manage to do something,

Boss shoots at the Naga and misses,

The Naga targets Hugo with a chain lightning bolt which rips and arcs through the entire group causing damage to all except Miro,

Hugo moves into a flanking position on the Naga but fails to land a successful blow,

Miro flanks with Hugo and manages to stab the serpent in the back,

The Elemental attacks and lands another successful blow,

Bob charges into the fray but misses the Naga,

Natalia throws a fireball at the Naga and engulfs her and Miro,

Otto casts a cone of cold also at the Naga which happens to also engulf Miro but kills the Naga.

The group move away from the site and set up camp for the night to recover from the long day of battle and travel plus Miro was whining about being a victim of unnecessary spells even though he took no injuries from it.
