The One with the Sarlaac Pit

  • Ezra is missing for the session and he is missed
  • The follower Anise and Ezra found in the tunnels is scared and says that the vampires promised him eternal life so that's why he's helping the vampires
  • Ezra channel's his divinity and becomes super persuasive and convinces him to give up that crime life
  • Anise gives him food to help him on his new life journey. 
  • Follower runs away. 
  • Anise, Ezra and Reya talk about what to do with the vampire in the sarcophagus 
  • Speculate that there are a bunch more sarcophagii nearby. 
  • Reya wants to kill them all with a stake she has on her. 
  • Anise wants to collapse the tunnel and trap them all. 
  • Reya lets them do what they want and leaves. 
  • Ezra gets close to Anise and Anise thundersteps out of the tunnel, collapsing it behind them. 
  • They land on the main floor of the home, but the collapsing tunnel beneath them starts to collapse the house on them. 
  • Anise dexterity's her way out of the house unharmed
  • Ezra does not. The house falls on him and he sinks into self-made quicksand and starts to suffocate
  • Anise dives back into the house and tries to dig Ezra out
  • The rest of the party gathers to see what's going on. 
  • Brek thunderwaves the debris to clear the pit and help. It helps. Kinda. 
  • Istishia (Tylendel) watch this happen but doesn't really react. 
  • Anise uses her great ax and makes good progress digging him out and clearing debris.
  • The party all pitch in and help and start digging him out while Istishia stands in the background moving small pieces of debris and not really helping, but making it look like he's helping. 
  • Brek pulls out a big red button he had on him (???) and presses it - a horn sounds in the distance and a coked-out halfling with axes and shovels appears outta nowhere and starts digging really fast. 
  • Everyone is like "new phone, who dis?"
  • Istishia (Tylendel) accidentally gives Zema inspiration by pretending to help with the excavation
  • Ezra's hands become visible and Anise and Zema form a chain and pull him out. 
  • We decide "alright, this has been fun. Let's go to the keep now"
  • Tarnis rides up on Rona with 6 keep guards in tow. 
  • Another drug fueled hour has passed, we've completed 12 and into the 13th now. Whill is no longer blind. Only players still under the drug effects are Ezra, Whill and Tylendel. 
  • Whill sees Ezra is dirty and covered in dirt, so prestidigitates all the dirt off of Ezra EXCEPT off his face and top of this head, so that anywhere he looks looks clean, but places on himself he can't see are still dirty. 
  • We make it to the keep!!! YAY!!! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!
  • Go to the roof where we are greeted by the Governess Nighthill, a sorcerer, the druid, Escobert the head of security. There is a half-wall in a circle around the roof full of runes and moss and vines. 
  • Whill casts prestidigitation to clean the wall of moss and vines. 
  • Reya asks Ezra and Zema if they will help her eradicate the undead in a 50 mile radius
  • They agree and offer up each of their holy symbols and the spell is cast. 
  • DM pulls Whill into a secret chat
  • The spell is creating a light so terribly bright that radiates from the tower. We get a "mental sunburn". 
  • Whill freaks out and tries to run away, casting a shadowy cloak on himself to protect himself. 
  • The spell is basically a light-nuke and the religious people are connected by tendrils of light. 
  • Spell explodes light everywhere. 
  • Most of us pass our wisdom save except Balasar, who is unconscious.
  • Whill is also unconscious, his dracolich arm is on fire and everything he owns in his inventory that is cloth or leather has been burned and destroyed.

  • Reya gets upset at us and runs off to do it herself. 
  • Conscious party members wake unconscious members
  • Brek follows after Reya to kill Strahd
  • They find him in the streets on fire. 
  • Strahd mentions he just wanted to save his daughters. He was forced out of his land by a greater power and cannot die here. 
  • Reya asks if killing him will end his torment, he said he needs dirt of his land, which he has here. 
  • One of our gryphons lands with a stake in its claws, which happens to have Strahd dirt on it. 
  • Give the dirt to him and then Brek beheads him using Reya's holy sword, Strahd thanks them as he dies and turns to ash. 
  • We hit level 8, get 500gp and a long rest so we will all wake up SOBER!!!! YAY!!!
