They announce that normally, all five of them would attack a large group to ensure that the person chosen is strong enough for the task. And also because its fun! However, since there is just one person there, they decide to send out one crone. Each crone serves one of the five spheres.
The sphere of Thought, who represents good and rogues generally, is ready. The crone, a high level cleric steps forward, and battle commences, Alzar is released.
Initiative!
9 vs 6. The Crone uses Anti-Magic shell from a Ring of Spell Storing. Alzar orders the Imp, Stalker and Elemental in to engage in melee instead. It won’t matter too much, summoned creatures can’t cross the Shell. It also can’t be dispelled via a simple Dispel Magic. Instead Alzar drops the Warp Marble and releases the golem, which can punch and moves to melee range.
Init – 6 vs 8. Alzar grabs the axe and shield and strikes. The axe will count as a non-magical axe, but the Bright Barrier is immune (it’s an artifact). Alzar swings and hits three times for…(No magical bonuses against it, but I rolled 15, 14, and 10). 3, 4, 3 for 7, 8 and 6 damage – 21 total. (Effects such as magical girdle, and such are turned off when attacking across the threshold). The golem punches and…rolls a 5 and misses. Alzar takes a war club to the side for 11 damage.
Alzar 63/74
Init 4 vs 5. Alzar hits once for 8 damage and the golem smashes it for 14. That drops her to 10% of her hp and she concedes.
The crones concede defeat to him.
Alzar gains 8k
(We only need 7k more to level up to level 21)
The crones offer important information that they have gained from their mirror. The balance in Norwold is getting out of alignment between the five spheres, and they want to bring it back. There is too much entropy right now. They have a unique mirror that allows them to see and scry anywhere, but also to appear and communicate in mirrors.
There is an invasion planned for Norwold. And…it’s coming soon. They bring Alzar to a mirror and reveal a pair of fleets sailing from Thyatis. Several of the baronies that supported King Ericall are switching sides…
Actually…
