Day
9
Serpents
and Demons come out to play! The Captain rediscovers the Toadstool
Circle at the Altar and attracts a Tremendous Demon which blocks
him, SHQ, the Wizard, and the Witch, who has been transmorphized
into a Tremendous Flying Dragon by the Black magic from the Toadstool
Circle. Over in High Pass, the Witch's Familiar has found some interesting
clues. The Witch King tiptoes in underneath the Tremendous Dragon's
feet, attracts two Heavy Serpents, and then leaps out of hiding
to block the Serpents and the surprised Dragon. The elusive Druid
hides and, with the Berserker following and trying to make himself
as unobtrusive as possible, sneaks past the Tremendous Troll into
the mountains. The White Knight and the Amazon spend a nearly fruitless
day diving into the Pool, and the Elf and Black Knight close in
on the Vault -- but how are they going to open it without a Tremendous
chit?
In
the evening, the Witch King has Serpents and a Tremendous Dragon
to deal with, and the Witch/TFD Captain, and Wizard are face-to-face
(do Demons have faces?) with a Demon.
In
combat, the Witch King absorbs the essence of the Tremendous Dragon
on Round 1, letting the Heavy Serpents bounce harmlessly off his
armored hide, and then turns on them and eliminates both Serpents
in two quick rounds. Over at the Altar, the Captain's hired hands
lure the Demon, survive a Power of the Pit attack without a scratch,
and SHQ polishes off the Demon with his Great Sword attack just
before the Witch/TFD's head stikes true.
BIRDSONG
The Witch's "Absorb Essence" spell is energized by Black
magic from the Toadstool Circle. The Witch will go through the day
as a Tremendous Flying Dragon.
