Bullet points to cover the action in the continuing big brawl:
- before Duncan could put up a wall to block them, a bunch of Gith rushed into the room.
- Percy managed to beat back a few Gith and a thorker with aid from Agar's Wand and Vlad.
- Thor and Hannari killed a Gith or two and pushed back the Gith leader and two of his allies, with Thor crippling the leader's sword arm.
- Lots of nageteppo countered by Purify Air dominated the magical fight for the day.
- the PCs are back to Operation Build a Wall.
Notes:
We had a short session budgeted for today but even so, we couldn't finish the fight. It's a good one, but the PCs have to contend with high-damage-soaking thorkers and high-defense Gith mixed together. Honestly, it's the kind of fight where boths sides don't like how it's been going and don't like where it ends up, but there is no clear way out.
The players seem concerned that the Gith leader, who was driven out of sight, is getting reinforcements, and that even with 3 walls up (they'll do that next time) they'll have scant time to gather some loot, gather up their fallen brother, and get the hell out before foes come upstairs after them. They can't block that off entirely, or even tactically, given so many airmobile foes at this depth of the dungeon.
Speaking of which, one thing that makes delving deeper hard isn't always more lethal foes, but ones that have abilities that counter the usual "win buttons" of early play - foes who can move through the air, see invisible, see in the dark, or ignore or recover from status effects quickly make for a very tough delve. But the loot is better . . .
MVP was Thor for his critical hit that crippled the sword arm of the toughest foe of the bunch.
