Rahasia, Finale

This is what we've all been waiting for...the grand finale of the adventure.

Session XII 4/27-4/28

The party ventures down into the depths of Elyas's tower (remember, the tower is deep within Grey Mountain) and encounter one of the elven girls we have been seeking. Hassan agrees to escort her back to the surface, and aside from an unusual altercation between Xavier and Doc. Our temporary ally Koraz, the minotaur, falls victim to a trap when he tries to go through an archway in Elias's treasury that turns him into gold. Through some exploration, we find a teleportal that allows us entry. The treasure is replete with several neat magic items, including a very nice set of boots that Xavier takes for his own, and an interesting robe for Lume. Recovering the Opal Eye, which fit within the protective pendant that was part of Rahasia's dowry, the party presses on.

Deeper another level, and the party encounters three temples, one of air, one of earth, and one of fire, the last of which has a collapsed hole behind the altar. It is here that the party encounters the elf they freed before, an elf who does not understand Doc speaking in elven (hmmm) accompanied by a panther and Hasan. Well, turns out that one of the three evil witches has possessed the maiden, and charmed Hasan. A battle ensues. Dagny, Warfang (her wolf animal companion), Beik are separated from the rest of the group by a well placed Web spell, and have to face Hasan, the witch, and her panther familiar on their own. To make matters worse, the witch's sister arrives a few rounds into the combat.

Lume and Cadman tried to go around through one of the other temples hoping to find a secret door and encountered some traps. Doc methodically burned his way through the web to help out at the end of the fight. It was touch and go for a bit, but the heroes won the day, without killing anyone.

Through the passage behind the temples, the party found three dragon statues with glowing gems in their eyes. Dagny felt magically compelled to put her hand in a slot of the statue, and voila, the barbarian druid is possessed by a powerful sorceress. Cadman wrestled the possessed woman (did he enjoy it?) to get her hand back into the statue. Seeing the color change in the dragon eyes, the party proceeds to put the two elf maiden hands back into the statues. After everyone was back where they belonged, we put the black opal eye back into the eye of one of the statues, condemning the witches to eternity in the abyss...but they did not depart before uttering a ghostly warning, "We shall return...."
