Fortunately, the constant stream of damage proves too much for the wraith and it finally dies. One of the human prisoners suddenly slumps over, and the wraith reappears next to him. I roll for the effect, and what do I get?ġ7-19: Creature turns invisible for 1 hour or until it attacks or casts a spell. So what does N do? He applies the fruit to his blade as if it were poison, then plunges it into the wraith. When eaten, they produce random magic effects.

When the wraith's turn comes up, it reaches into the dead dwarf and pulls out an angry, bloodthirsty specter.Ī bit of backstory N's PC is carrying a bunch of fruit from a magic tree he harvested a few sessions ago. The wraith is punched and proceeds to completely destroy the dwarf next turn.Īnother round of attacks is now rendered nearly useless as the wraith has taken up a position in the wall for three-quarters cover. N: Great idea! Okay, I'm going to punch it towards the dwarf.
S: Hey, you could punch it into the dwarf's cage! Then we have another person fighting on our side! Me: I suppose trying to find a rule prohibiting that would be futile? N: I'm going to punch the wraith back ten feet, using this ability here.

One free round of attacks further, N brings out another trick. I search the rules for a rule, any rule, that would at least imply a being of pure negative energy and dark smoke can't be stunned, but apparently it can.
I'm going to use a Stunning Attack on the wraith. Then N decides that the battle has lasted long enough. Everyone is pretty effective, with the raging warforged, flurrying monk and angry paladin attacking 7-8 times per round. Me: How in Pandemonium is an axe destroying silver extra powerful against something vulnerable to silver?īattle goes on. S: Hey W, don't you have that magic axe able to destroy silver? Wouldn't that help? I reveal that silver weapons affect the wraith normally. Then they realize their attacks are only partly effective (gotta love resistance to nearly everything). The battle starts with everyone ganging up on the Wraith. The horrible creature cackles, then prepares to attack. Me: You have no time to save anymore, as a terrible Wraithlike being raises from the floor! Black smoke envelops its very form, and an almost visible aura of evil can be felt all around it. N: Save the dwarf and leave the elf to die. Three humans, a dwarf, a halfling and an elf are all described in detail to the players. On the other side, several prisoners are kept in cages. The group explores the passage for some time until they encounter a door. S: Nope! Answers makes sense, we get to continue! I enter the cave! "I have no heart, nor feathers, nor scales, nor bone, nor shell, nor flesh. If you do not solve it, you can not pass. The Banshee pretends that didn't happen and gives you a horribly difficult riddle. The Banshee, for that is what it is, raises her withered hand and spea. Only one eye remains in it's scarred face, the other is nothing but an empty socket. It looks like an elf, but is transculent and pale. Me: The moment you enter, a fearsome being rises from the ground. I describe it as a cave, with a dark and twisty passage leading downwards. I decide to just start everyone off at the dungeon's entrance. Or at least that's what I tried to explain, because those five minutes are also filled with random shouting from N, bad jokes from W, and S showcasing his new character. These specific adventurers are trying to destroy an evil Necrodancer, who has kidnapped people from a nearby town. The first five minutes of the session are spent thinking up a ridiculous story about how this is another dimension with all characters being alternates of themselves.
