The Prince of Schliss
AK510-40 Cool Summer End Week 4 [Charon Guiding, Shale Resting, Cycles Watching]
Croiday (afternoon)
They met the King's task force as they descend. Lord Ambassador Verity Kinnett I introduced them to Black Guard General Azaz Vakar, Thief Taker Francesca Vec, Commissioner Chantilly Vegas, Lord Polomious Avalon, Abbott Jethro of Icy Death Abbey and High Reave Derfel Forc IV. The High Reave cured Charmer's of his poison with a resounding blow from his mailed fist and Bob's strength returned. They parted company and prepared for their individual assaults. They descended to the High Security Magical Experiments level and stopped at the main door.
They cast several empowering spells and summoned many creatures. Ivellios commanded the doors to open. A startled mind flayer and several grimlocks were on guard behind the door. A fireball (3) destroyed the grimlocks but the flayer was unhurt. Carraig wrestled with it and it roared in pain. Ethan, Appleby, Charmer, Gozzar and Jo attacked the creature but it's psychic defences kept it alive. However while they were attempting to kill the mind flayer Carraig was grappling, they all hit him a lot. He didn't take offence and was only slightly damaged. Then the illithid concentrated briefly and disappeared. Ethan tried to defy it by using his naming powers but to no avail.
The horde of humans and their menagerie surged into the hall. The Hippogriffs charged a hundred feet down the hall and were mind blasted. The others followed them eager to press the attack. The trap was sprung: tzakandi appeared behind them and another flayer in front. Bob, Zzog'Gozzar, the Bees, the unicorn and three hippogriffs were stunned. Ivellios refused to dispel the stunning magic waiting for a better time to use his only dispel. Jo raced forward and attacked the mind flayer. Ivellios slew a tzakandi with magic missile. Appleby's xorn attacked the flayer and inflicted horrible wounds. Carraig attacked the mind flayer. Appleby killed one tzakandi and resisted a mind blast from another. Ethan was paralysed by the same mind blast Appleby had just resisted.
The Prince of Schliss and two mind flayers appeared at the far end of the hall in deep discussion. They were engaged in telepathic debate with Teth Cromith XIV who had just come under attack by The Council of Stormwatch. They did not notice the battle for a few moments. Carraig and the Xorn moved towards The Prince immediately. Ivellios fireballed (4) him to no effect. This unsurprisingly attracted his complete attention. Jo danced around the his mind flayer foe and twisted in past his defences. He plunged his new adamantine sword deep into the flayers guts and it fell to the floor. Dark purple ichor pooling on the marble as his breath ebbed away. Appleby resisted yet another mind blast from a tzakandi. His staff whirled around, writhing with wooden fangs and lightning and struck the creature in the jaw. It's tentacles whipped around as it's neck snapped and it crumpled to the ground. With so many of their assault force stunned by illithid mind blasts they decide to retreat.
The Prince had other plans. He sent a flayer to threaten Appleby. It stepped through the astral dimensions and moved close enough to use his mind blast. The Prince also stepped through the astral dimension to threaten them all with his extremely potent psychic powers. His other ally disappeared. They have already activated several of their psychic defences.
John Appleby resisted yet another mind blast, much to the frustration of the mind flayer, before moving towards the levels main exit door. Ivellios cast black tentacles and the prince was grappled, his magic resistance unable to affect the writhing black menace. Tin Tan, in an act of heroic bravery typical of the best character in the village, spit a gout of Tine's flame at the prince and smiled in satisfaction as he screamed as it burned. Then he helped his master make a tactical withdrawal. The Prince and the other flayers unleashed their mind blasts. The power of the princes' mind is phenomenal and all succumbed to it's stunning effect. All save Ivellios and Carraig who were of course immune. And John Appleby who resisted the psychic bombardment yet again, still using previously unsuspected inner reserves of mental strength. Jo reappeared from hiding and put the bag of holding over Ethan's head. Ethan's body disappeared into the magical bag and Jo hastened toward the exist. Carraig grabbed Zzog'Gozzar and Charmer and dragged them to safety.
One flayer blocked their escape and Ivellios and Tin Tan attacked it. It's psychic protections saves it's life. Appleby moved away from the prince to threaten the flayer with his staff. When it tried to use it's mind blast Appleby smashed it in the face and broke it's concentration. Jo slips out the main door with Ethan in the bag. Appleby's xorn attacked the mind flayer and it ripped it to pieces. It's remains splashed about as it worried the remains of the flayer. The Prince stepped through dimensions to escape the black tentacles doors and appeared beside Ivellios. Towering above him. Jo dumps Ethan from the bag and returned to help the wizard.
Ivellios fireballed (5) the Prince in a last ditch attempt to battle him but it had no effect. They all fled. As he called down the door to prevent pursuit, Ivellios remembered the arrow of illithid slaying. Damn.
