#22 #22 Visions, Dreams, and Nightmares
The Hook
Clearing the coven was easy, defeating visions may be harder
Prelude
The party : I had a dream
Summary
Everyone awoke from a troubled sleep where they'd had visions of a tower they needed to find and investigate immediately. Arric also dreamt his brother was killed and Doomgate had fallen.
They had to move quickly, but there were still horrors in the dungeon they'd been investigating which needed to be dealt with. They headed back to the parts they hadn't yet searched and were confronted by a number of undead, including a darnok and a group of explosive shadows. The shadows proved very dangerous as each time one was killed, it exploded burning those around them. They also exuded a fiery smoke making fighting them dangerous.
After destroying the undead, they were leaving when they were again attacked by the witchfire. Having learned from its earlier error, it first attacked Arric, leaving him nearly dead as the others battled it. Luckily, BAMF would not be denied and he and Bornon quickly put an end to the beast.
From there, they headed to the inland sea and moved quickly to find the ruined city of the golden tower. They entered the city and were quickly beset by an army of skeletons. Arric killed a few and BAMF made short work of the rest, moving through them and mowing them down with reckless abandon until not one of them foul creatures remained.
They came to the ruins of the tower. Most of it was gone with only the lowest level remaining. As they entered, there was a flash of magic and Bornon was gone. The others regrouped and began moving quickly in hopes of finding Bornon. They soon found themselves facing a flesh golem which BAMF and Ropp managed to destroy.
Meanwhile Bornon found himself in a cell guarded by another flesh golem. He and the golem were separated by bars, so he unlimbered his bow and began shooting at it. By the time the rest of the group found him, he'd put 10 arrows into it and it was finished quickly. Ropp found a secret door and was able to release Bornon so they could continue their investigation of the ruins.
