Homebrew Campaign
Session 18: Stopping Sapphiraktar's Blood Ritual
Regnar (human ranger) , Zen (half-elf monk), Thunderforge (dwarf cleric), and the 2 dwarf fighter brothers (Tacklinn and Orsik Ungard) continued their quest to save the dwarf settlement overcome by drow, fiends, and undead by sneaking into the sewer to try to find a secret way into the palace keep (while avoided the evil army on the streets). In the sewer, the group battled and killed 7 zombies, 1 skeleton, 1 otyugh and 3 swarms of rats.
Continuing through the sewer, the team took out another 3 zombies and an undead dude infested with Kyuss worms. From behind a barricade some dwarves and a halfling greeted the group and thanked them for killing the undead monsters; they welcomed the team to come to their secret underground slum town. The slums provided a welcome rest and clean underground river for bathing. The group also managed to trade out some gear and get a map to go into the palace keep's crypts.
In the crypts, the team followed a blood trail, met a ghost who asked them to take his mace of disruption to avenge the dead dwarf nobles, and made their way up to an epic ritual room battle consisting of: 1 zombie beholder, 3 drow (1 was elite), piles of dead bodies (from which zombies popped out each round) with their blood flowing into a central pool, Sapphiraktar the blue dracolich chanting in the center pool, and a statue of Bhaal soaking in all of the blood energy from the ritual.
Thunderforge used the mace of disruption to start destroying the statue, which made him the prime target of the enemies; the zombie beholder disintegrated Thunderforge! Zen picked up the mace and continued destroying the statue. Regnar got the final blow that decapitated the statue and caused a huge blood explosion, knocking out the remaining people.
Next time we will find out what happened...
