When [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] and [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] break through the eastern door using Bond's Ring of the Ram, they accidentally alert two fleshwarp guards who rush in: a [[drider]] (half-elf, half-spider with arcane magic) and a powerful [[Mulventok]] bodyguard with hyperdeveloped muscles beneath clear skin. > > The party engages in fierce combat with the fleshwarp guards. After [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] identifies the drider and explains their honored status among drow, the battle intensifies with the drider casting *Fireball* and *Magic Missiles* while the Mulventok delivers devastating blows. During the fight, [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] uses Evolution Surge and grapples the drider while [[Vayle]]'s *Vitality Lance* destroys the Mulventok in an explosive shower of gore, with the creature's final words including "[[Belcorra]]." The session ends with Ash killing the drider and the party hearing a soothing voice from beyond a mechanically locked door. ^summary %% ## Video [Video]() %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/096_20250927 Don't wake the sleeping Destrachan#^summary]] --- ## Log - We go back to the arena. We ([[Vayle]] and I) feel with our [[The Apometi|Apometi's blessing]] that life has started to return to this area. - We have destroyed some undead, some fleshwarps, which seem to have been the natural enemy of the tree. Now the tree and the plants around it are gaining dominance. - [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] and [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] break through the door on the east. - But the bashing with Bond's Ring of the Ram caused the two fleshwarp guards to rush into this room. One of them is a half-elf, half-spider guard. The other is a bodyguard, the [[Mulventok]]. We begin combat! ### Combat with Fleshwarp Guards #### Round 1 - [[Drider]] - Looks like an elf but has 8 eyes. Torso of an elf, then spider down. 8 legs. Jaw that opens like mandibles (sideways). - Orders the Mulventok but we don't understand. - Casts a spell, getting all of us. It's a *Fireball*! - Mulventok - They have hyperdeveloped muscles underneath clear skin. They will erupt in a shower of gore (just gross, no damage). It has negative healing. It's an aberration, not undead. - Attacks Grumble. 20 bludgeoning damage with its fist. - Raises shield. - Grumble - Raise shield - Attack! Nat 20, for a 38. Its raised shield AC is 26. 42 damage. It's not bloodied yet! - Me - Z1: Tandem move - A2: Tandem Strike - 17 sonic, taken fully. Miss from Zuhri. - Z1: Follow up strike - 9 bludgeoning. - Vayle - Damaging spell - 28 vitality damage! It's bloodied. - Move - Bond - Knowledge check on the spider: This is a [[drider]]. Being a drider is an honour for a drow. Most driders die in service though, and they don't live to reap the benefits of their status. They use arcane magic. No weaknesses #### Round 2 - Drider - Moves - Magic missiles aka 'force barrage' on Vayle - Mulventok - Attacks Grumble but misses - Draws chakram - raises shield - Grumble - Raise shield - Attacks Mulventok for 30 damage. - Me - Z2: Cast Evolution Surge on Ash - Z1: Tandem move - A1: Grapples and restrains Drider - Vayle - Casts *Vitality Lance* for 29 vitality damage at Mulventok. It explodes! Shower of silvery skin and rotting flesh and overlarge muscles. It shouts something unintelligible except for one word we hear: "[[Belcorra]]". basic reflex save. 28 void damage on a fail! [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] kills the drider! We hear a soothing voice from beyond the door... This door has a mechanism in it. Could be the lock. %% # Excalidraw Data ## Text Elements ## Drawing ```json {"type":"excalidraw","version":2,"source":"https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/releases/tag/2.0.25","elements":[],"appState":{"theme":"dark","gridSize":null,"viewBackgroundColor":"#ffffff"}} ``` %%
