taluminI'm not late with these updates until I have to post two at once :P
So, after defeating the hydra (read: running in terror), we came across a workshop of sorts, or maybe a torture chamber. Searching the place, we found a creepy book with instructions on how to open it. And codes! And handouts! (I love both of these things). Actually, I felt a little bad because as SOON as I got the key, I started working out the message in my notebook, which is something Kaz would have NO idea how to do, so I had to try and roleplay him while working on the code.
Anyway, we figured it out, and the warlock/cleric (not a druid) lost a finger, the ranger lost her sweet werewolf dagger, but we opened the book! And got more handouts!!
We discovered that the "unkillable beast" we've been hearing so much about is a rakshasa (jazz hands), and the journal we found basically sums up it's abilities. It also indicated that the lord of the city we've been trying to save is PROBABLY a rakshasa. This was enough for us to break through to the consciousness we have been inhabiting, and just as we were about to enter the mind vault and kill him, the mind flayers attacked
This led to an awesome battle on floating platforms, where Kaz's axe took control of him (sorta) and nearly got me and the warlock/cleric killed. However, we did drive the mind flayers back, and now we're nearing the end of the dungeon. I'm also nearing level six with Kaz, and have to choose whether I take a feat, or switch to multiclass barbarian for that sweet, sweet rage damage resistance.
