Kurgan's run

Loot from last session:

    206 sp    186 gp      a sceptre

This session, we pick up 'dwarven greaves' and a key from the duergar champion people killed last session.

We take a long rest and hit sixth level. Moxy leaves and our new character, Shay, a shifter avenger, shows up. Selene Cloud-of-Daggers him before we figure out who he is.

Because of the way we're setting up, orcs are smashing Shay and Selene. Our brilliant plan to split ourselves into three different locations so that we could get behind them and bother them has not gone so well. The ogre is bloodied, as is one of the orcs. These are the kinds of orcs who can heal themselves up by a healing surge once they become bloodies, so they effectively have 125% hp.

The stupid ogre has reach, which is annoying. However, Tom does a crazy attack that crits twice in a row, and then the avenger crits with, like, a basic attack which still does 42 damage because avengers are ridiculous. Peter rolls three 1s on Lance of Faith in a row, which is clearly the cosmic balance to the crits.

“Hey look! Lightly armored guy who does too much damage!” “ 'lightly armored' ...” “Hey, you look lightly armored ...” - kurgan and nyren. Shay has a 26 AC.

The ogre burns to death via ongoing damage from Fire Shroud.

One one of the orcs we find a big iron key. Now we have two keys which unlock ... something, plus the key that unlocks the now-smashed portcullis.

Shay makes a proper introduction. He's a shifter avenger. He's lawful good and worships Bahumut. He hates rogues and other shifty things.

Okay. We trek back out to where we had the last terrible fight. We go into a bedroom and find a locked chest, which we have the key for. We find 40 gp and 3 large rubies worth 100 gp each.

“Let's listen at the door and get an earworm!” “You hear a Rick Astley song?” “Augh! The door's rickrolled me!”

There's also a barracks with no loot. But now we're into duergar bedrooms instead of orc bedrooms. We proceed into a bedroom that looks like it's probably the bedroom for the ogre. We also think we've found the back door. (yay!)

We break in on some terrible duergar paladin of Asmodeus, who tells us he's going to sell us to mindflayers. Duergar are resistant to fire and poison, which makes me useless. There's also a theurge, whose power is basically, “You're all blind for the entire combat.” The paladin charges the shifter and fortunately misses since the shifter has 24 ac.

The theurge blinds eveyrone in the party. (take 1 poison damage, also) On his next move, the theurge does something that dazes and slows eveyrbody

   in the party except Peter and Erin. 

Mirklemoor, the terrible duergar paladin, has

261 gp, onyx demon idol with ruby eyes worth 250 gp, and a +2 amulet of health (which peter takes)

+2 flaming maul, a key, and a holy symbol of asmodeus.

We move on and find some devils. There's a room with some pits, one full of water and two just with ladders going down into something. There's also another theurge, although this one has a name. There are spiny devils.

New battle ... which I appear to have not taken logs on, but we must have won because we're awesome. Really. I believe we killed everybody involved and rescued some slaves down in the pits.
