We started off in town, gathering rumors, and the PCs found and hired Harold and Samual, two human guards, to join them at double pay.
They headed off to the dungeon, intending to go into the dragon's cave entrance to Felltower and kill off the stone bull and chimera they spotted there with scrying a while back.
Basically, that is what they did. They headed up, sent Vlad in to scout, and snuck in ready for action once he reported sounds that could be inhabiting monsters.
They rushed in and attacked, finding a chimera and a stone bull.
In a close-in brawl, they managed to slay them both, with lightning from Duncan and lots of sword and axe blows plus some arrows and hatchets and kamas from the rest. The PCs got a little too confident in some Vigor spellstones and bunched up to "finish off" the stone bull when it rushed them, and that got Thor, Harold, and Samual turned to stone.
Chop un-petrified Thor in time for them to find three baby chimera/stone bull hybrids. They killed them in short order, despite Vlad wishing to take one captive to sell in town.
Having butchered the lot figuratively, they used Create Earth to wall off the caves deeper, looted a bunch of assorted small coins and junk plus the Helm of the Rat, and used Prepare Game on some of the dead to salvage saleable bits. Sadly, none had any. They did Seek Earth to find gold, silver, and oricalcum, but all three castings came up empty.
In the end they took their coins and the least badly chopped up baby mira to town but found no one wanted to buy it.
Notes:
- quick, good session. Bunching up against the stone bull was the only real mistake they made, and lucky for them Chop wasn't affected and could un-petrify their stoned friends.
- MVP was Duncan for effective Lightning use. 4 xp each.
- And FYI the point totals are way off up there. I have no idea any longer what people's characters are worth.
Fun session and unusually focused! Crossed off one item on the to-do-list, now we need to see what to tackle next.
