Game summary for November 28, 2017, Reign of Winter campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Denessia Rapidarma (Dwarf Gunslinger/Paladin played by Casey Scruggs), Deska Starseeker (Half-Elf Druid played by Kaliegh Averdick), Svala Alehorn (Orc Unchained Barbarian played by Todd Hughes), Ten-Penny Tacey (Halfling Rogue played by Shane Bradley), and Tulvur Xandersen (Dwarf Fighter played by Taylor Averdick). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team was summoned with haste to one of the keep walls. They could see an enormous siege tower being pushed up the hill by a pair of seven-headed war hydras. Two frost drakes circled to provide protection. The team had only moments before this tower would arrive up against the wall providing a way for the Drakelands barbarians to swarm into Spurhorn. Tulvur used his engineering skills to recognize the tower might be toppled backwards if the rear wheels were destroyed due to the steep angle of inclination. The group decided they did not have time for that. Instead, Ten-Penny gave Deska a potion of flying, and she wild shaped into a mastodon. She then catapulted herself off the keep walls and slammed into the top of the tower! The massive mastodon’s collision shook the tower and toppled it over! It hit a drake and hydra on the way down. Deska was a bit stunned by the impact and crashed prone to the ground. Svala, having also imbibed a potion of flying, entered a rage and charged through the air to hit a drake. She was successful initially but then crashed into it, plunging both to the ground. After impact, Svala, still prone, rolled over and mightily lopped off the drake’s head!
Tulvur went flying out toward the other drake and bull rushed it away from Deska. Greta, unable to fly, dropped off the wall and just tried to roll with the impact. She was somewhat successful and rushed into the fray. Ten-Penny did the same and ended up hiding in Deska’s mastodon fur hoping to surprise her foes. The hydras proved devastating with their massive number of attacks, and the remaining frost drake unleashed its frigid breath weapon. Denessia unleashed a barrage of fireballs from atop the wall using her newly purchased necklace of fireballs. Deska cast baleful polymorph and turned one of the hydra’s into Triaxus’ first hamster. Tulvur killed the other drake, and then he stepped over and killed the remaining hydra.
The team scrambled back up into the keep and healed their injuries while the defenders of Spurhorn cheered them on and hailed them as heroes.
