The group spent the day doing individual things, most was spent increasing gear, shopping, praying, getting laid, selling our loot and so forth, but not in any particular order. I ended up helping Fugelsang sell off the gear we had collected after he went and got laid and I finished praying and thanking Hiteh, and ended up with a good sum. I then went and paid off what I owed on the church, paid Fugelsang back his contribution to get the down payment on the temple, was only 350 out of the 600 gold required. I paid for some black velvet curtains that block the light to be hung in the church, think it was only 250 gold. I also went shopping and picked up some better armor, a cloak of resistance and some boots of the winterlands.
After the day off planning and energizing ourselves, we came up with a plan of attack to waylay the baron's keep and take on the illithid that we thought was controlling him during the night, which is why we had the day off.
We sneaked up to the Baron's Keep walls and while Cyrus, Renault and Malechite climbed up the tower to the top of the turret, Fugalseng and I, wrapped in his cloud of invisibility flew up to the landing atop the watch tower. We were surprised to find no guards since we had spotted lights moving at the top of tower before ascending. Fugalseng had altered himself to be a griffin so he could carry me and fly above.
On the landing of the watch tower, we spied a door with some stairs going down. At the bottom of the stairs we found another large wooden door and had to have Renault unlock it. Cyrus, also invisible, sneaked inside and discovered the baron's sister, Eriana, and her husband, Friedan, in the throws of passion inside the bedchamber with the fertility symbol of Ilustree looking over the union. We sneak into the room, failing to be quiet, but also failing to be noticed by their preoccupation. The other door in the room, also locked, had the key in the door, and as I unlocked this door, we heard it open with a loud 'thunk' and still were failed to be recognized. We exited the room and walked upon the balcony going around what appeared to be the roof of the watch tower, looking slippery from the rain, and as we circled along the balcony discovered that it lead nowhere at the end. We realized that we had to go back, through the room with the love-making session, and hopefully slip past without a sound, but I was annoyed by not finding anything and with the air of cockiness that I received with my faulty thinking walked right into the room, dragging Fugalseng, who had changed back into his regular human shape, behind me as I made my way through. Halfway to the other door a peep escaped the mouth of Eriana, for there love-making had ceased, but since we were invisible, and the feeble idea that if spoken to from out of nowhere may be enough to make her believe that my deity had blessed their union entered my mind.
She spoke,"What's there, what's going on, where is the sound coming from, who ...?"
Thus I spoke and interrupted,"Your union is blessed by the mighty Hiteh."
She fainted dead away and Friedan, with all his glorious manhood, grabbed a feeble dagger to defend.
He stated,"Who's there?"
I replied,"Really, a dagger, are you some sort of special?"
The distraction gave enough time for Cyrus to sneak behind him, but not before I cast a create water spell at the poor man's feet. Cyrus knocked away Friedan's consciousness. Friedan then toppled into the puddle of water I created. Before leaving, I took the opportunity to arrange the two unconscious lovers into a position where it looked like she was eating or licking his asshole. My party members did nothing to try and stop me, and chuckled at the thought. We continued our descent on the stairs and encountered a rather thin-walled room with a lock door and when we jiggled the handle to see if the door was locked, we heard a female child's voice from the other side. "Mommy."
We left the room alone and on the other side of the room discovered sleeping servants and saw an opening to the right opposite the sleepers.
Rounding the corner, we encountered a room where we saw the baron, sitting at a table, lost in his own mind, mewling about. I moved closer, dragging Fugalsang with me to stay invisible, and tied him with some rope to the chair, for his own protection, we were here to kill the illithid. As I tied up the baron, Cyrus moved up to a large curtain hung across the back of the room and as he did, an ogre mage, also known as an Oni, sliced through the curtain with his huge sized greatsword. We didn't see the illithid, but we knew that the oni was also bad news and decided that we would need to defeat it as well. Hidden behind the still hanging curtain, we heard the sound of the illithid and rejoiced that our journey to defeat him required no more travel. The curtains were set aflame by one of Fugalseng's spells directed towards the oni and now we could see the detestable aberrant creature with its white eyes staring at us. We continued our barrage on the oni, but the illithid stunned Malechite and Renault. My spells were failing to get through to the illithid while the others focused upon the oni. I focused completely upon the illithid. Malechite and Renault were no longer stunned. I had a spell prepared that would get through the evil creature's spell resistance and deal damage to any evil creature in fact. I cast holy storm and with the rain from the storm, defeated the oni and dealt a great blow upon the illithid. Cyrus and Malechite dealt deadly blows as well, equally the rains ferocity. Renault directed a hit as well, but the rain must have deterred it from its mark, for it didn't drop the foul creature, but the rain dispensed it from the plane of existence. We looted the area ( we call it greyhawking, since during Living Greyhawk, if you didn't take everything, including the nails nailing things down, you didn't get all the treasure ) and found a magic potion of clairvoyance on the illithid.
The baron, waking up from his stupor doesn't even know what day it is, and we fill him in on what has occurred. He did tell us the last thing he remembered, which was about a week before the city festival, which was on its third day when we entered the city around three weeks ago. He thanked us and said he would do all that he could to help us. While glancing over the area, I find a small ring, tucked under one of the legs of the table and have his people help identify it. It is a ring that can allow you to fake your death and then revive you, fully regenerated. We tell the baron all that has occurred in the last month since his unwilling control started.
The city rejoices as the skies open and it starts to rain, for it hasn't rained since the baron had been mind controlled, and the order to have the city blocked from leaving or entering rescinded. We search the city for the summoner we faced that controlled the hellhounds at each gate. I check each gate for passage of strange people, no luck. We meet the old lady, who isn't old at all, from when we entered the town. Turns out she is a silver dragon that lives in the clouds over Kider. I found this out by watching her walk up the air like it was made out of stairs, and when I saw stated that it was a good trick, she chuckled, transformed into the full awesomeness of a silver dragon and flew into the clouds above the city.
We plan on resting for a week and planning our voyage on the river to the Fort of Opportunidad, known as Fort Sunnydale.
This is where we left off. Until next time, safe gaming and have fun.
