Session 77: Equinox Part 2

General Summary

The assault on Alliance Tower begins! 75 sea elves, 50 locatha, Jahr, and the party are going into the underwater section against 200 merfolk & imperial allies.

The party has their troops marshalled at the Dunwater Lair. It is the Equinox, and they plan to take the underwater entrance. When they come to it, it is unguarded. They walk in and trigger a Death Symbol, and Shan'tie uses Performance of Creation to animate a rock and trigger a whole bunch of Glyph of Wardings down the tunnel.

Then they end up fighting the Kraken Priests in front of the first door. Bubbles is an absolute unit, Virion uses Passwall and Mystan has Spiritual Weapon up. Mystan's whirpool was countered by the Kraken priests. There's a ton of different spells going everywhere!

The party starts to suffer with the movement debuffs and damage, but Mystan casts Dispell magic on the whirpool. Which helps a LOT. They get behind the door, but the Myrmidon knocks Virion out! Mystan got Virion back up with a Mass Cure Wounds, but with 8 Kraken Priests and 4 Water Elemental Myrimdons, the first wall is deadly. Shan'tie used Knock to open up a section of the door, letting Jahr use her lighting breath to soften the guarding shock troops up.

They clear the first door handily, earning lots of XP. They got a 7 on the mass combat victory tracker, putting them closer to victory. They had to burn a lot of resources though, and make a better plan for how to open up pathways of attack on door 2.

Shan'tie plans to use Song of Creation to make a panel to allow for a covered approach so that Shan'tie can open up some entrances. But when they approach, a merfolk casts Controll Water. No plan survives contact with the enemy. They kill a few merfolk and the tide is turning, we end a round. Next up the enemy starts the round.
