Game Events

Having nowhere else to go, the group approached the sea of worms, but were attacked by two of the spell-casting undead supported by a gargantuan worm that rose from the surface of the worms to attack. This took the group a little time to defeat, but eventually they were all flying above the surface courtesy of Ellan to one of the opposite passageways.

At the end of this passage the group were confronted by an undead spellweaver which immediately cast Repulsion to keep them all away.

Volon managed to dispel the Repulsion allowing the party’s fighters to get into combat, following up with summoning an Earth Elemental which managed to grab and pin the spellweaver before it was Plane Shifted away.

The group managed to destroy the spellweaver and experienced a sixth vision, which showed all the Age of Worms prophecies coming to pass with hte exception of the final two, 'A tripartite spirit once again becomes one, and at its advice are the mighty undone', and 'On the eve of the Age of Worms a hero of the pit shall use his fame to gift a city to the dead'.

The spellweaver had managed to inflict major damage on the characters before it was defeated, so after looting the corpse of a Robe of Resistance +5, Ring of Force Shield, Rod of Fury +2, Rod of Extend and a Circlet of Charisma +6 the party retired to the Naga’s chamber to rest and recover spells.

Returning across the sea of worms they noticed that all the worms appeared to have died, and at the end of the final passage they discovered three more Kyuss undead, similar to the one which had killed Elzara earlier, but they posed no problems for the full strength party and were soon despatched.

These bodies had 3 x +2 Full Plate, 3 x +1 Heavy Steel Shield, 3 x +1 Unholy Bastard Swords.

Gathering their treasures together, Ellan transported the group back to Magepoint to report their findings back to Tenser.
