So the ritual worked, the Bard lost his body and became the shadow dragon. They battle stone demons and win.
Unfortunately the Bard failed to inform the Druid of his transformation. So the Druid, in the form of a Demonic Stone Catfish, summons elemental fire in its maw and blasts the shadow dragon like a furnace, killing it.
That compendium class didn’t last long. Once again the Druid is the most dangerous thing the players have ever met.
And the Bard is still not dead. Now he is a living shadow.
A Demonic Stone WHAT????
That Catfish was more frightening that the Shadow Dragon. Luckily almost the whole fight was in the dark. Or should that be ‘unluckily’?
Dude I am sure it says in the rules “The bard dies.”
Go read it again.
Ernesto Pavan, the Druid smartly chose to summon earth elementals by whispering sweet nothings to heathen idols, terrible gods and foreign demons of murder and blood carved in the ancient walls of a temple deep within Death Mountain. Then he promptly studied them in detail for hours whilst trapped in the dark alone with the dozen or so of them.
I’m surprised he only killed one of the party members.
O that’s right, the Bard didn’t die.
The Ranger leaves the group alone for one session and this what happens!
Seriously, very cool stuff. We set this up last session, so something serious was bound to go down, but this sounds awesome. Sorry I missed it.
Question: what was the sacrifice?
Narayan Bajpe, remember Aranwe getting that gaping wound from hunting the Razor Boar. Well your “friends” had to lay her somewhere to rest and the ritual circle was so clean of sticks and stones.
No They Didn’t!
+1 just for once again the Druid is the most dangerous thing the players have ever met.
“The Druid Hycorax has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through these lands, as he has spread through Death Mountain. You cannot stop him. But I can.”
