Powerword: BEAR!

D&D Exrcept #29

As I broke up the report from last session, GM had revised down the damage on the breath weapons (fired by unseen dragons within the magically darkened room), having realized his error insofar as the number of damage dice rolled. The players still couldn't see what they were up against, as the one open door (of the large double-doors) revealed only a darkness spell.

Balcoth: I should get out my carpentry tools and start reinforcing this door while you fight through the other [open] one.
GM: By what method?
Balcoth: I bought some reinforcing materials. Plus I have my hammers, big thick nails, all my metal spikes...
GM: Yes, yes. You're welcome to start building while the enemies beat on you.

Verian/Rhaek cast Blistering Radiance, dispelling the darkness and filling the room beyond with an atomic fireball of minor damage. The spell was almost immediately dispelled from the other side... followed by another enemy recasting the Darkness spell, but the players got a brief glimpse of the enemy (at least, what they could see through the one open door). There was a small black dragon (well, not Small, the size category, just small as in not very big for a dragon), and at least a handful of ogres similar to the ones we fought before, including at least one of their priests...

Balcoth: I should pop the cart out of my Bag of Holding to block the hall with.
Verian: If you had Helix with you, you could just fly over people and drop carts on them...
Balcoth: [As though his eyes had just been opened] You could, F***!
