Session 122 - 7 February 2023
Bodies intertwined and bleating from goatlings, while small stimfey sit nearby. Xan leaps in and up onto a small table and launches a dorata at the smaller of the goats taking them by surprise. The room seems to be sparkling in red and gold over some of the bodies, including the one she hit. It makes a sharp bleat and squirms as the metal hits it.
Theo pops up in front of her and holds out his hands, a fiery beam snapping over the mass in front of them. The room lights up and flames quickly catch on to the material, lighting up the bed and blankets around them. One of the bodies almost instantly turns to a black mass.
Before she can think, another sharp flash comes through the door, and Xan sees Calliope’s form striding forward with glowing hands. A gust of wind whips around the room and pulls smoke away, but not enough. They fight on until one of the Amazons scrambles off of a bed and yanks open the door to another bedroom. In the gap, Xan can see a queen like Amazon with a helmet, thrashing on the bed with a man. Moxena pulls forward and shoots a bow towards the figure in the room.
Xan follows Moxena’s aim and shoots into the Queen’s quarters, hitting her with the arrow.
Fire rages on as the battle continues. Spells and weapons clash through the room and the Queen Leah pushes her way into the room where Xan stands on the table. The Queen pulls off her helmet, and learning from her previous experience, Xan covers her eyes before flying an arrow off into her direction. Miss.
But Theo seems to have a trick up his sleeve, and throws mind and fire bending magic around the room, hitting multiple enemies. One spark was all the bottle in Leah’s arms needed. A whooch and it smashes, throwing clay and oil over Leah’s side, and she drops.
Screams and the sounds of battle echo through the room, and in what felt like a few seconds Xan feels a power spread over her from the Maenad. Overwhelming.
A scream hollars out from the other room, and Queen Thessilea appears. A slithering horror.
