The druid and Nickolai's players have developed work conflicts, so their characters find their ends in this week's game.
---
When last we left our Pathfinding party, they were stuck behind a closed door in a beholder nursery.
Callel, standing by one of the older beholder children, was ordered to open the door. He opened the door -- Corrail closed it. This repeated. Caleel then cast a spell and walked through the wall into the secret corridor.
The beholder babies mercilessly blasted Nickolai, who unprotected from the magic, was killed instantly.
Caleel, wanting to leave behind his life as a slave, others quickly formulated a plan with the others. The others hid back in the corridor while Caleel lured in the beholder child. Once he was in the room, they closed the door and attacked, ambushing the beholder and quickly killing it.
From there the party proceeded next door through a parlor. In the adjacent room, they spotted a sleeping beholder. Felix walked in and dispatched the beast with one critical blow from his dagger. They then proceeded into the adjacent lab. There they found another beholder working late, and they quickly took it out. Caleel was happy to find the gear that had been taken from him.
The group moved into the next area to find a group of kobolds, consisting of a diplomat, guards, and a mage. The group successfully convinced them that they were simply checking on the kobold visitors. They moved on heading towards the kitchen area.
The druid took the lead and triggered a trap near the large hole to the lower level. Lightning danced in a circle around the pit, building up electrical power, and then striking the druid directly in the head, killing him instantly, and zapping the person behind him.
Unfortunately, Caleel tripped and sounded a large gonging sound as his armor his the ground. Three new beholders appeared, including the very large and powerful leader. Victaerus ran back into the nursery and hid and one of the beholders followed her. The rest of the party closed the doors and retreated into the bedroom where they had earlier killed the sleeping beholder. In the adjacent room they warned the kobolds that the beholders were coming to betray and kill them.
Felix tried to jam the door mechanism shut in the adjacent parlor, but the door disappeared after it was hit with a disintegration ray. That sent Felix scurrying. His tiger got hit by sleep ray and Felix dragged it back to safety with him.
Victaerus, stalked by one of the beholders, became angry. She downed a potion of rage and charged out into the room, surprising the beholder and stabbing it with her longsword. (Sneak attack damage!)
Meanwhile the rest of the party battled the other beholder as it approached the room. They dispatched it quickly and then the cleric somehow "teleported" the group into the room with Victaerus, just in time to see Victaerus slice the beholder in half.
The king beholder attacked the kobolds as they defended their position, taking them out one by one. Next time, the party will take on the beholder king, who appears to be using the mace they are seeking as a scepter. Oh, and everyone is leveling up to level 11.
