So D&D was pretty fun last night, I must admit! We literally played out this battle the entire session!!! and it's still not over. If you're interested in what has happened, let me fill you in, because it's been a wild ride! So, last session, they went to the big waterfall where the druid had scryed on woman they are trying to rescue. They arrive and there's a hunter there asking for help, that his boy's gone missing. A nat 20 insight check determines that the hunter is not only lying, but has nefarious intentions. They attack. The hunter starts pummeling the party, and with some of his magic he ends up kililng their horses and their dog, as well as wounding many of the party. Fight continues, and the hunter flies up and disappears behind the waterfall. Some of the party follows him in there, some get washed away by the waterfall. The cleric revives the horses. Inside the waterfall cave, the fight continues, leading to the hunter being polymorphed into a cow! The cow is then grappled, and tipped, and hogtied and finally manacled!! But then, other creatures in the cave awaken and attack. The Wizard redirects the flow of the waterfall at one point to flood the cave, and the skirmish is broken up by everyone getting pushed to various corners of the cave by the water! The cow, eventually takes enough damage for the polymorph to break and he transforms back into his true form, a giant! (an Oni, actually) and breaks his manacles and bindings (with a nat 20!!) and seemingly disappears! The party continues to fight the other creatures but eventually makes their way deeper into the cave only to fight the Oni (who has been regenerating his health) again! With the help of a couple of re-animated floating heads, a couple of will-o-wisps and the Oni, my players are now locked in battle with the (now poisoned) Oni as well as 1 of the will-o-wisps, the chamber to the East is flooded and the water is creeping into the chamber they're currently in, and that's where we had to leave off!! It's been an exciting battle with plenty of crits as well as a few nat 1s... I can't wait to see how this concludes next week! (We don't have a play date set yet, though!)
