The Bros are feeling pretty good after their last delve and decide to keep rolling while they're hot (HA! See what I did there?). They decide to investigate the Shrine of Evil Tablets in Hex 303.297 and things...did not go well.
I followed my now familiar procedure and got another 3 level dungeon with a starting difficulty of 6th level monsters. They explore the first three rooms which all come up empty using Appendix A. Enough time has gone by so I roll for wandering monsters and get...12 wraiths. They've got no magic or silver weapons so the pegasus shit has definitely hit the fan.
Neither side is surprised so we proceed to combat with a tied initiative (4 to 4). All actions are simultaneous so this is going to be cute.
Blastikus fires off Magic Missile with minimal effect (8hp total) because that's basically the only attack he has against these horrors.
Marsh casts Haste on the party (aging everybody by one year in the process)
Sully successfully Turns Undead...on 2 of the 12. Luisa fails in her attempt because the Chaos Lords are, of course, fickle.
The wraiths, seething with power of the Endless Void all strike, and fortunately only hit 3 times total, draining one level each from Blastikus, Luisa and Mog. Luisa clearly has a lot to deal with today.
Round 2 goes to the party 3 to 1 and they wisely use their cocaine fueled state to run like the wind from the wraiths. The slowest party members move 9" normally, but Haste doubles that and they easily outpace the wraiths' 12" move rate.
The delve was a debacle and the group retreats to the Obsidian Tower to lick their wounds and regroup. Sully, Krall, and Marsh have earned enough XP to level, so they'll be out until 18 March 2025.
Downtime should be interesting...
