SOTDL CAMPAIGN DIARY: SESSION 11 - QUINTET: PART 2, 07/23/19
The Cast:
· Brother Aron: Human priest/cleric of the New God
· Calista: Ferren rogue/thief
· Perry Flaxseed: Halfing Hunter/Fighter
· Nikolai Petrechko: Human Veteran/Fighter
After slaying the revenants, the heroes proceed to the next chamber which is choked with debris from the walls and ceiling that have collapsed. They are forced to climb over the debris and discover 3 gargoyles hidden among the boulders. They fight the gargoyles and manage to slay them all, allowing the group to proceed to the last chamber of this level.
Inside this chamber stands a number of statues from another era. At the rear of the room is a winged figure that has an unearthly aura about it. The figure maniacally works on a statue of sorts, composed of bloody body parts from the poor villagers above. Brother Aron recognizes the creature as an angel, and the celestial being turns at the heroes' approach and sees them as fine additions to it's art and attacks! The heroes fight the clearly insane angel around the statues and gore, and manage to wound it sufficiently to cause it to glow with a blindingly brilliant light, then disappear.
The heroes find no signs of the angel, and after searching the room they decide to go back up to the previous level and try another stairwell. They enter another level of the dungeons and after moving through a twisting hallway, they find a strange chamber with iron cages hanging from the ceiling. As soon as the enter the room, summoning circles flare up and strange, thin and gaunt men appear within the circles, all bearing cleavers and carrying bloody sacks full of disembodied parts. The creatures, identified by Brother Aron as devils known as Butchers, attack the heroes. Calista is entrapped within one of the cages, which magically snatched her up, while the others engage with the Butchers, only to learn their deadly precision with the blades cost them body parts. Brother Aron lost the toes on one foot while Nikolai loses fingers from his hand. The battle is grueling and bloody, but the heroes manage to dispatch the Butchers and Calista frees herself from the cage.
Proceeding down the next hall, they eventually encounter a torture chamber, where another angel is in the process of torturing a man strapped to a stretching rack. The angel fights the heroes, but they are again victorious against it. However, they discover the man is also an angel, who attacks them as well. The group survive that attack, dispatching the angel in another blinding flash of light.
The heroes proceed back up to the surface so that they may recuperate from their wounds and return afresh in the morrow. But there is no rest for the weary, as they find the tavern where they left Unit One and the children a mess of cogs and clockwork parts scattered across the room. Something dismantled Unit One and the children are no where in sight. But upon inspection of the room and the way the children's foot prints are all around, imprinted by the various clockwork fluids that have leaked upon the floor, it is apparent that they are the ones that did this dastardly deed.
The heroes gather all of Unit One's parts to try and figure out how to put him back together, but discover his key missing. Luckily, they still had the key from the Emancipator, so they inserted it into Unit One's ruined torso and found the key to be imbued with magic! The key pulled the various parts of Unit One's body together and reformed him, larger that he was before! Unit One's demeanor changed as well, taking on a more aggressive attitude, swearing vengeance upon the little fuckers that did this to him! But a search of the town turns up nothing, so the heroes go back to the inn and Unit One agrees to keep watch while the others rest.
