The Session:

When we left off last week, we had inadvertently helped the villain by activating the evil magic altar.  Go us!  Today we began session 4 of our increasingly inaccurately named "one shot".  The big boss - an evil Naga - approached the party.

Khemed engaged her in conversation, offering to be her apprentice, while the rest of us reunited at the bottom of the pit.  The Naga asked Khemed to prove his loyalty by killing one of his allies.  

Meanwhile, Sylvester attempted to contact The Great Old One using an incantation.  He offered to devote his life to vanquishing his patron's enemy, Lolth.  He ended up summoning "Jubilex, the Faceless Lord", who took over his body.  

The Naga engaged Jubilex, so they fought one-on-one for a while.  Khemed focused his attacks on our ally Germonme'.  Sylvester cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter on Khemed to keep him from casting more spells.

One of the treasures we picked up last session was a musical instrument that Vanya used to cast Call Lightning on the Naga.  Jubilex cast a Hold spell on the Naga.  Neven went down a couple of times in the battle, and Azul rushed to protect him.  Khemed summoned an Allosaurus, using an item from earlier in the campaign.

Jubilex dealt the killing blow on the Naga, but we weren't out of the woods yet.  Azul picked up Neven's unconscious body and fled towards the exit.  The summoned Allosaurus downed Germonme', then charged Jubilex.  It wasn't able to damage the demon, however.

While the rest of us were fleeing, Neven decided to stay behind to destroy the altar.  Jubilex finished off the Allosaurus, and headed toward the altar to claim it for himself.  Neven dove into the pit, smashing both himself and the altar upon landing.

There was a flash of light, and Jubilex was dispelled.  The dungeon started to collapse, and the survivors fled through the tunnels.  Azul, Khemed, and Vanya made it back to the ship and set sail.  

Sylvester and Neven will be remembered fondly.

2700 XP for the survivors.
