Mission Report from Childe Raymonde (Part 16)
On the road to Bazzoxan, we came across some members of the Aurora Watch fighting demons! A bunch of Wretched, a Babau, and some Draegoloth. We held our ground, but we were being wounded by our foes.
The environment itself seemed to be against us, a few of succumbing to an unaccountable sadness, but we continued the fight.
A strange mist appeared! Another two Babau appeared. Our Kenku cleric, Bell, was ensorcelled to see illusory enemies all around him. Powering through it, he took a massive hit of psychic damage to bravely stay in the combat.
Vaal dispatched the Babau in front of us, and our tactical situation seemed a bit better … so long as no more enemies showed up. The battle continued. I suddenly saw an image of a Githyanki war party, beckoning me to join them! A Draegolith fell, and several of the Aurora Watch were left without foes.
Shaking with fear, I dropped off the trail into a lowered area, and the magical fear left me. Burning with rage, I clambered back up into the fray. A new foe appeared! A demon known as "The Lonely," an incarnation of melancholy and suffering.
One the Babaus hit me with a "weakening gaze." Instead of attacking, I laid on hands on Bell, who was sorely wounded. I immediately felt strong again.
Vaal strike true on the remaining Draecoloth, and one of the Babaus cast Heat Metal on one of the Aurora Watch soldiers. Nevertheless, we began to turn the tide, and Bell finished off a Babau. I took care of another. Full of rage at the spells these things had cast, I charged the "Lonely" and slashed it twice. Vaal destroyed the remaining Babau. Only the Lonely remained. We swarmed the disgusting thing and it grasped Bell, rendering him unconscious and drawing him into itself. Bumi knocked it in the head with a large rock and destroyed it.
The fog dissipated, and we saw to our wounded.
Lieutenant Varl, leading the Aurora Watch patrol out of Bazzoxan, explained that they had bitten off more than they could chew, and thanked us for our help and promised a reward when we all got to Bazzoxan.
