Entry #44 (Session LIII) - Battle with the Kobolds
Returning to the ancient door inscribed with cryptic markings of rebuke against the restless dead, I summon the power of insight and lay my hand upon it, casting *Identify*. The enchantment is old—woven with forgotten magics whose purpose eludes full comprehension. What is clear, however, is its singular intent: the door must remain sealed, opened only by the precise resonance of a *Knock* spell.
We take respite, gathering our strength before the trials ahead. With the dawn—or whatever passes for it in these depths—I invoke *Comprehend Languages*, allowing the wisdom of Savras to peel back the veil of unfamiliar tongues.
The goblin chieftain arrives, his presence heralding our next move. Together, we deliberate once more, ensuring our stratagem is sound before pressing forward into the domain of the kobolds.
At the threshold of our next challenge, I perform *Silence* as a ritual, weaving a bubble of unnatural quiet around the door that bars our passage. Draxon, ever the embodiment of brute force, hurls his weight against it, the wood splintering under his might—augmented, of course, by the formidable assistance of the bugbear at his side.
The goblins surge ahead as I renew the eerie hush of *Silence*, their bloodlust driving them into battle against the kobolds who have abandoned their guard post. The clash is brief and merciless—three kobolds fall before the tide of goblin steel.
I press onward, reaching the corner where the cultists lurk. With a whispered prayer to Savras, I conjure *Sanctuary*, weaving divine protection around myself while simultaneously muddling the minds of my foes, diverting their focus.
Draxon wastes no time, his javelin slicing through the dim torchlight before striking true into a robed figure clad in black. Felonius joins the fray, the two warriors cutting through the first cultist with practiced ease. Yet more figures emerge from the shadows, and among them, Lady Oleander herself. She levels her gaze at me, arcane energy crackling at her fingertips.
Sensing the impending danger, I react in an instant—another surge of *Silence* blankets the battlefield, cutting off the spell mid-incantation.
Seeing Draxon’s wounds, I channel healing energy into him, restoring his vitality. Strength renewed, he lets loose a primal roar, his rage summoning forth a most peculiar entity—the frumpf. What manner of creature this is, only time will tell, but with steel and spell alike, we stand ready for what comes next.
