Game summary for August 7, 2014, Carrion Crown Adventure Path campaign, Ashes at Dawn adventure; PCs included Dario Malavasi (human oracle), Emilian Sandulescu (human paladin/ranger), Gnok Thatek (dwarf monk), Radimir Dragomirov (human cleric), and Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander (human abjurer/cleric/mystic theurge), accompanied by NPC companions Alleric Swiftblade (half-elf rogue) and Nyssa Pagonis (human cleric).
The exotic woman gazed intently at Emilian, and he felt her unholy touch reaching into his soul. He shook off her suggestive mental commands and drew forth his bow. Gnok charged in and found the vegetation razor sharp and entangling! As he struggled to close in the party cast enhancing spells such as haste and blessing of fervor. When Gnok finally closed in, he punched her in the face but discovered it was like hitting a granite statue! She backhanded him in the face, rattling his resolve! Dario unleashed flame strike while Radimir cast searing light, both to good effect. The vampire countered with spells of her own, ice storm and sirocco. All of these effects meant the team was pinned down and very limited in ability to close in with her. However, Gnok finally got her in a grapple to which she responded by turning into gaseous form. Radimir channeled positive energy as well. The vampire remained in gaseous form and disappeared down into a tunnel below the slain flytrap. Dario and Emilian cut away the plant material to reveal an underground chamber with two hallways leading away.
