Pool of Radiance, Episode 15: Diggin' Up Bones
300:00 Starting Soon ("Ataraxia" by Aaron Hodges-Boyle)
06:04 Beginning
9:22 Roll Call...?
14:20 Roll Call!
37:26 Boring Grove
41:00 The Sky Darkens... (Valinghen Graveyard)
3:04:15 The Trustworthy Vampire Hunter, Mr. Renfield
3:54:50 Returning Triumphant!
A very focused session this time around, as the heroes (sans Dirten) attempt to cleanse Valinghen Graveyard!
After a brief hiccup with loading the wrong save game, and a brief detour into the least interesting map the game has offered us, the party hunkers down and cuts a grim path through the hordes of undead lurking in the upside-down graveyard.
With Wights, Spectres, and Wraiths waiting for us, you can bet that we suffer a fair bit of level draining! Some of it prompts reloads, while some of it just results in us accepting the experience point loss and using Restoration to get back the level (Restoration restores a lost level, but leaves the character at the exact threshold for the highest level they had attained... any additional experience is lost to time).
It's a slog, but it's (eventually) a successful slog: with the source of the graveyard's corruption (a vampire and his trusty human servant) purged, the heroes return to Phlan with no in-town commissions left to pursue.
We're heading out into the hinterlands of the Moonsea region next time!
