okay, for all of you who weren't there (sucks to be you as this game went fairly well!) heres what happened in the game that Dylan, Ben, and I played when we slept over at Ben's on... friday? Was it friday or Saturday...
*note the summary is pulled directly from my records on my computer thats why it refers to the players in the third person. If there are ann inaccuracies feel free to let me know. Also my writing is kinda fragmented because I wrote it as events happened, therefore I wasn't really looking at the piece as a whole only the sentences, I've revised it slightly.
The PCs have been hired by the Acholdian military to spearhead offensive on a fortress off the Acholdian coast being held by Ethradechian forces. The PCs will be transported to the fortress in airships along with the Acholdian soldiers. Azarial convinces the captains of his vessel to allow them to climb the cliffs to better disable the fortress's ballistas. The PCs use the ropes deployed by the ships weapons to scale the cliffs. They then hide behind some rocks and observe five ballistas and their crew's outside the castles. Kolavras summons an energy beam to destroy the ballistas and nine crew members.
The PCs scale the wall then split up into two teams, their objective is to take two ballista towers. The teams consist of Skarl Ellion and Llyrael on one with Azarial and Kolavras on the other. Azariel kills the guard who answers the door and Kolavras uses his psychic abilities to hind the body from the other guard. They then take the ballista and convince a guard to teach them how to use it.
Llyrael's team storms the other tower and takes it easily. They then aid the Acholdian forces in defeating the main body of enemy soldiers defending the castle. They then proceed to help search the castle for enemies. After checking two of the keep towers the PCs find a barracks. They proceed down a large stair case and assist some soldiers fighting enemies. Then they reach the dungeon and rescue a warforged, (BTW, his name's Kalt)
The PCs then get trapped in a dungeon and defeat the hydra that sets upon them there. After defeating the beast, with the help of the warforged they are flown back to the mainland for debriefing. After talking to one of the generals the PCs realize that due the financial insecurities of Achold in wartime they won't be getting paid immediately.
