## Session Summary
> [!tldr] [[105_20260104 The Black Knight Falls]]
> The party engaged in a brutal fight against the [[Soldier Construct]] (nicknamed "Black Knight") whose eyes had turned red at the end of the previous session. The Level 8 construct proved to be a formidable opponent with hardness 20 that absorbed the first 20 damage from every attack, a damage reflection ability that hurt the party whenever they dealt damage to it, flamethrowers that ignited when bloodied, and a paralysis gas that slowed the party. [[Vayle]] kept the party alive with crucial healing while staying out of the construct's 30-foot reflection range. [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] dealt massive damage with paired shots but the reflection hit the entire party for 56 damage. [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] delivered the killing blow with a critical 68 sonic damage dragon stance attack, and the construct exploded upon death. [[Zuhri]] and Ash coordinated to protect Vayle and reposition during the fight, while [[Grumblebum|Grumble]] crippled its movement speed early on.
>
> The party survived the encounter with multiple members still suffering from slowed conditions. They plan to take a short rest to recover and loot both the room and the construct's remains. A [[Mutalisks|mutalisk]] was also present but skittered away during the fight. ^summary
