Session 55-56
The Undead Knight faced the Bravest Braves, his mirthless and merciless smile still gleaming from underneath his plate helm. Unwavering amidst the deadly blows of the Magus and the divine favor that prevented him from taking down the Psychic. His swift blade and stalwart armor testing themselves against Mrk in a duel of deadly blows. Eventually he was brought low and the Bravest Braves were granted a moment of respite. Curious about the vault but wary of taking on it's guardians at the current moment they rested for a bit back in Yldaris. There they decided to seek out and destroy the Abomination Urdefhan tribe and reclaim the lens that Belcorra most likely entrusted to them. It did not take them long before they discovered the signs of the Urdefhan encampment. Grizzly trophies mounted on skeletal spikes graced the nearby caves, a warning to any who would dare approach. The Bravest Braves approached. Bravely (and cloaked in Koko's invisibility).
Immediately they were set upon by scouts, but their efforts to sneak had been unsuccessful, The Bravest Braves spotting and blasting them while they were still en route. Whip bearing warriors approached to test their mettle but they were quickly defeated by near overwhelming force as the Bravest Braves took the entrance by storm. Once they had their foothold secured they scouted the caves in front of them with Garland's arcane eye. He discovered a raucous camp, where the Urdefhans lived alongside Daemons engaged in bloody rituals, martial training and feasting on gory unidentifiable meat.
Calling upon his newfound powers Koko unleashed a swarm of psychic spiders, the manifestation of psychic might making the passage to the party all but impassable except for the most dogged and determined of hunters. Electrical blasts drawing them in, Searing bursts carving through, and finally the last and largest bead from the Necklace of Fireballs overwhelmed the Urdefhans, Who still managed to charge forward. revitalized somewhat by necromancy. A few dropping their swords to take pot shots even as they advanced, eager to employ their wicked claws and jaws. Despite a few lucky hits. they proved unequal to the might the Bravest Braves bought to bear. When the dust had cleared they pondered returning to rest at Yldaris but decided to strike deeper into the territory while they still had the element of surprise working to their advantage.
Deeper within they found some caves seemingly isolated from outside sound by an unseen chorus of daemonic voices...the first of these they explored contained several Urdefhans engaged in a blood ritual with a bound and helpless deep gnome being held for some presumably nefarious purpose. The leader amongst these turned in response to Mrk bursting into the chamber and cuts himself as he began to mutter a powerful spell....
