The group instantly
gather their equipment and head out to meet their local contact of
the area, a blue Nixie by the name of Melianse whom Otto had been
avoiding since their rather intimate encounter any moons previously.
With the rather awkward
greetings exchanged Melianse brings the group up to speed of the
recent events and directs them towards the commotion. They soon find
themselves within the lakes edge where a single deaden tree was the
only blip in the otherwise smooth landscape.
The area was darken as
night even though the surrounding areas clearly showed that it was
still at least mid-afternoon and the sound of some sort of roaring
was permeating the air from an unknown source, on the water a
collection of black swans could be seen struggling to swim in the
water.
Natalia took to the air
to aid the creatures to only discover that the low roaring was coming
from a churning whirlpool about half a mile wide in the lake of which
the swans had found themselves caught in.
What disturbed the
druid more was that just under the surface of the whirlpool she could
make out several black shapes swimming around under the water surface
with ease.
Melianse attempts to
aid the party by casting Prying eyes at the whirlpool as numerous
orbs of light fly out over the water and hover,
Otto casts Overland
flight upon himself in readiness of any unpleasant surprises,
The Orbs return and
divulge to the Nixie that a number of large elementals are hiding
beneath the water’s surface,
Otto instantly casts a
chain lightening spell into the lake which forces four large water
elementals of black/brackish water to emerge from the whirlpool as
Otto follows up with a quickened Mirror Image at the sight of the
groups opponents,
Vaneer attempts to use
his wand of Dismissal but the spell fails to take effect,
Hugo wades into the
water and attacks the nearest elemental managing to land a single
blow that clearly dealt little damage to his opponent,
Miro follows Hugo’s
lead and also manages to hit for a small pinch of damage,
The elementals turn
their attentions to the group;
- Vaneer is hit critically sending the Cleric flying backwards
- Miro is effortlessly pummelled twice
- Hugo is slammed in chest the twice
- Boss is also slammed in the chest twice
Natalia summons her an
Air Elemental
Meanwhile unbeknownst
to the group storm clouds above them had formed into a being
(Lightning Elemental) which sends bolts of electricity racing towards
Otto only to hit one of his images.
Melianse casts a
freezing sphere at the lake water which notably damages 3 of the
water elementals,
Otto casts quickened
haste over the group before using a cone of cold to further injure
two of the already injured elementals,
Boss shoots at one of
the elemental 5 times with 4 arrows striking true though again having
little to no effect,
Natalia’s Air
elemental attacks the lightening elemental,
Vaneer attempts to cast
Dismissal on the lightening elemental but fails to banish the
creature,
Miro continues his
stabbing onslaught against his water elemental but again feels
inadequate as each blow landed just seems to be absorbed into the
elemental,
Hugo attacks with
multiple success’ against the same elemental but again does little
damage overall,
The Elementals resume
their attacks;
- Miro is slammed again with the Halfling looking worried about his state of health
- Hugo by some miracle manages to avoid any blows landing against him
- Vaneer is again hit bring the Cleric to one knee
- Boss is slammed against again causing him to swagger
The lightning elemental
sends his lightning bolt downward but strikes the deaden tree causing
to it suddenly roar into life as it animates,
The Tree (Lightning
Treant) casts chain lightning on all of the group only to miss
striking Otto, Natalia, Boss and Bob.
Melianse casts another
freezing sphere over the lake which destroys two of the four water
elementals,
Otto casts a quickened
Fireball on the Lightning Treant which deals it no visible damage,
the King then fingers the lightning elemental with a finger of death
causing the creature to instantly explode with shock!
Boss continues to shoot
at one of the remaining water elementals but deals little damage,
The water elemental
retaliates at Boss and lands a blow,
Natalia’s Air
elemental attacks one of the water elementals,
Natalia summons an
Earth Elemental which attacks the lightning treant,
A bloodied Vaneer casts
a well anticipated healing burst to help start rejuvenating the
group,
Hugo attacks his water
elemental and with multiple hits manages to deal enough damage to
take the creature down,
Miro attempts to hit
the remaining water elemental but he barely lands a poke,
The water elemental
attacks Boss and lands two hits almost dropping the fighter,
The lightning Treant
attacks the earth elemental and hits it twice,
Melianse casts
Disintegrate on the Lightning Treant which hits hard but the creature
survives,
Otto also casts
Disintegrate at the Lightning Treant which fails to effect followed
by a quickened Fireball on the water elemental which seems to finish
it off,
Boss shoots at the
Lightning Treant, hits and returns it to an deanimated state.
As soon as the Treant
returns to a deaden tree the water in the lake suddenly explodes into
the air and then the area and air begin to settle into a sense of
calm and peace.
Vaneer spends the next
hour tending to all the wounds of the group before they begin their
return to Wyvernshore where Otto instantly orders searches to be
performed all over the kingdom for any further “weird”
happenings.
