The Paragon adventures of DMC continue on 17th June 2011 at Games Garage. When Mobius became a cocoon and hid in the Bag of Holding
Party comprises of Thor (played by Alvin), Kai (played by Eugene), Zaratul (played by Marcus), and Illidian (played by SC)
The session begins with the party at the entrance of the Mines of Tethyamar. Entering the ruins, the party come into a main hall. They hear some crackling sounds coming from a corridor leading to the alcove in the right. Sensing divine and arcane energies, Illidian approaches the alcove and there is an altar with a defaced statue. Above it there is a crackling globe of energy. Without hesitation, Illidian plunges his hands into the globe and energy courses through his body and suddenly he feels extreme power within. Similarly, Kai and the rest do the same. However, the effects are random which results in Kai and Zaratul experiencing weakness and loss of health surge.
The party decide to press on and head towards a room further down on the right. They enter the room and encounter some foul creatures including scarecrows, but they manage to defeat the monsters easily. They manage to discover a secret hole dug beneath one of the bookshelves in the room. However, after discovering that the staircase in the hole leads far down, the party decide to take a rest. However, they are interrupted by another group of Wrackspawns. However, Zeratul's Wall of Fire manages to put them off at bay. Feeling agitated with the interrupted rest, the party move on to the hallway with a lift pulley system. In frustration with failed attempts to use the lift, the party destroy the lift and it falls all the way down into the darkness.
The party then investigate another room on the left of the hallway and manage to break into the room. They discover some form of agreement between Netheril and the forces within the Mines of Tethyamar. Whilst the party ponder over the letter of offer, Kai looks around the room and secretly pockets two gems for himself.
Subsequently, the party move on and head down to the next basement level and had to walk through a corridor filled with traps. With Kai's expertise, the deadly traps are disarmed and the party move on and eventually end up in a large cavern and face up with Blood Demons and Malgodemons and elemental beings... The threat is real and serious. DMC could never see the light of day again...
However... Zaratul, with his arcane powers, pulls the demons together into a cluster and Illidian rains down energies of divine power onto the demons and before a minute is over, the party emerge victorious from the battle.
The party then discover that a portion of the large chamber has caved in. However, Zaratul managed to cast a ritual allowing them to walk through the rubble and end up on the other side where they find themselves on a ledge overlooking flowing magma. With a hook, Kai bravely swings across the river of lava and ends up on another ledge leading into a large cavernous tunnel. The party follow suit.
The party decide to creep up and veer to the right fork whereby Kai hears a conversation going on. Deciding that they should not antagonise the beings in the cavern, the party hang a flag of truce and they meet up with a dragon, who happen to be in some sort of conference with a scaly looking demon. Upon closer inspection, there is a knight who is in flames and another humanoid who seems to be burning with fire, and in place where hair should be, flames burn brightly instead.
The party decide to admit that they are looking for a way out and that they have the crown. However, sensing that the dragon might not be able to grant them safe passage in exchange for the crown, the party decide to retreat hastily... but the dragon and his company does not seem to pursue the party. The party decide to head back across the ledge and back into the Mines of Tethyamar and take a rest...
Til the next session... will the party cower away and flee the Mines of Tethyamar? Or will they boldly challenge the dragon? Will the party find a way out of the Underdark? Or will they return to Relourn and settle there - living as kings of Refugites?
