with "The Dream Team" of:
Koriel "Kori" the aasimar (human-looking) arcane archer,
"Puff" the gnome dream druid,
Aegle the winged elf kensei monk,
& the eladrin eldritch knight Prince Mursalin!
DM Note
This adventure almost led to a TPK, as in within a few hit points; it was crazy. The amount of natural-20’s rolled by the enemies to crit the heroes was insane. I roll my dice out in the open so the players know it was all legit, but wow – the campaign almost came to a shocking, sad conclusion.
4U Session 15 Log
Homebrew Campaign (Alternate Forgotten Realms)
[Modules: Modified -----]
The Dream Team (Kori, Puff, Aegle, and Prince Mursalin) made their way back through the swamp and into the secret thief entrance of the Obsidian Fang lower levels that they knew about. They bribed 2 yuan-ti guards who let them through and told them how to get to the secret snake temple with the blue and green snake statues.
Inside, the team fought through an epic battle against more powerful yuan-ti than they could really handle (and snakes and snake statues that came to life), as well as the evoker wizard [who, after being downed, rolled a natual-20 for a death save and got back up to sling more spells at the team before finally dying for once and for all]. Sadly Ariela (the person they were trying to rescue), Prince Mursalin, and Puff all died. Ariela and Mursalin’s bodies were contaminated by yuan-ti potion that covered them in scales. Only Kori and Aegle survived, with just Aegle left standing.
Kori and Aegle brought their dead friends with them through the swamp (where there were lots of dead yuan-ti from the snake civil war) and to Tholme. In Tholme, the tavern now belonged to Kennara and Bearfoot was again in control of the village. Bearfoot reincarnated Puff as a wood elf, but he decided his brush with death was enough to cause him to stop adventuring for now and focus on protecting the forest while living at the elven elemental temple.
Puff got all of his gear back and said his goodbyes, but Kori and Aegle went with him so they could bring supplies from Bearfoot and release the trapped air spirit at the elemental planes. The air spirits took Kori and Aegle to just outside Elvenport so they could return there with the prince’s body. In Elvenport there were no clerics available and the half-elf Riverrest insisted that Prince Mursalin would not have wanted to be reincarnated or resurrected.
Riverrest planned the funeral rights for the prince and introduced Kori and Aegle to the gnome woman who had arrived to romance Puff. They made her a map and explained where she could find Puff. Kori and Aegle stayed in Elvenport, but made plans to soon travel to Daggerford in hopes of finding a cleric powerful enough to do a true resurrection for Ariela.
