Game 11 07-23-10

Game Summary     Game 11     07/23/10
                As the wicked looking elemental moved forward, Bron took over the ritual for Marius.  They swapped places just in time, as well, for it was then that the creature struck.
The earth elemental’s attack was furious and without mercy.  The party’s attacks seemed to have little effect – that is until Kotri called upon her divine essence and smote the evil monster.  The blow struck the fiendish elemental true and the party began to fight back successfully.
Using a combination of perfectly timed blows, ingenious tactics, and creative strategy, the party wore the monster to the point of collapse.  It sunk into the earth.  Just as Bron was completing the ritual, it struck – completely unaware that Bron was protected by Marius’s Protection from Evil spell.  It stood slightly dumbfounded as it found itself unable to penetrate the protection.  Kotri hurled her axe at the monster, but the throw went wide.  Marius unleashed a pair of magic missiles, finally toppling the monster.
Bron completed the ritual.  There was a tremendous quake and the mine collapsed, ejecting dust and debris out the entrance like an explosion.  As the magic faded, the rubble sealed itself, turning the mine into a single piece of stone, fused forever.
The party returned to the town and explained what had happened to the town council.  Though they were upset, Marius was able to soften the blow by returning the silver that they had paid him.  The curse had been removed, though, and the town might have a chance at survival.
After returning to General Rhinys, the group found themselves with a dilemma of where to travel next.  Pryston was nearby, as was Fairfield and Davenkirk.  Upon hearing that they were near Fairfield, Malikune pleaded with the party to go there.  They agreed and began to make preparations to leave.  Before they were able to make their way out of town, a Halfling named Kaleb Kindle asked for their help in getting a letter to his sister Kayla in Davenkirk.  The group promised to do their best.
Having prepared as best they could, the group headed towards Fairfield.
