On the Old Road to Castle Ravenloft, Greyhawk
Day Two. Late Morning? Sunday, January 15th, 577 CY

Deep within the misty wood, filthy heinous fiends descend upon the doomed heroes as they search in vain for their lost friend, Ingrid Esthof!

At the corrupting touch of the damned, Faron, Mouser, N'Rogara, and Urdur feel their life essence drain away and they collapse to the ground, stricken and insensate in shuddering heaps!

The condemned souls continue their demented litany to the air around them:

"We have them, master! They are ours!"

"Fresh lives for the master! Tonight you will feast, my sovereign!"

"See how your most deserving slave honors you!"

"I serve you well, lord and do your every bidding!"


Jaelen and Telkis struggle on, against all hope!

Telkis manages to loose two arrows at one accursed horror (X3), impaling it in the eye and the throat!



It is dead before it hits the ground!

Jaelen holds forth his holy symbol, desperately trying to drive off the wicked devils, but finds his god holds no sway in this forsaken realm of darkness and despair!


Actions, Jaelen and Telkis?!

Telkis targets X2 or X3?: [1d2+1]=2+1=3 X3. Telkis' natural 20 is a critical hit, causing double damage.
