Well, our little vacation to Mistmoore turned out to be both a blessing and a curse...
For starters, a zone that is run by a vampire and has "ghostly" and "deathly" and "ghastly" attendants, where NOTHING is undead, is a terribly cruel joke to play on a Necromancer.
Secondly (on a positive note), it turns out that our trip to the Oracle known as "Allakhazam" yielded misleading information about where to find Xandamir's "Essence of Moonlight". It drops from many different monsters in this zone. But I'm getting ahead of myself....
Last night, TGIH03A went on, with our good friends Hamms and Eraia joining us for our supposed vacation to Castle Mistmoore. After running through the delightful demesnes of Lesser Faydark, we arrived, got ourselves organized, and headed in. At first, the various attendants of Castle Mistmoore provided little more than a nuisance, and the graveyard area was quite charming. As we headed deeper in though, the frequent twists and turns and secret doors and tight quarters gave me a sense of foreboding that I tried to shake off. We were able to quickly dispatch one or two Ushers, and lo and behold, there was some Essence of Moonlight! We were ecstatic! Urged on by our own sense of invulnerability, we proceeded to head to the upstairs of Mistmoore.
This was our first mistake.
It seemed that the upper level attendants, including Mayong's daughter, the Princess herself, were not too keen on being disturbed, and decided to bring the entire upper level staff down to show us the error of our ways. Some of us died immediately, some escaped, and a few lived, only to be taken down by wave #2 of the house staff. We all cried out to our gods, and they sent our elder brother Kahmon, who withheld any "tsk tsking" of his foolish brethren, and simply helped retrieve the carnage to the gates of Mistmoore, where Xandamir began the rezzing process and we all began to tighten our belts and think about revenge. Talinoth had to leave at this time, but with 5 of us left, we thought it was worthwhile trying it again. So we thought about revenge, and headed into Mistmoore without anyone to EVAC us.
This was our second mistake.
We decided to head in again, but not go so deep this time. When we arrived at the stairs to the upper level, we avoided them. "Down", we thought, was the way to look for our targets. But like the Dwarves of Moria, we "delved too deep", and as Hamms was finding playmates for us, it seemed that a few too many had attached. Xandamir, in true heroic fashion, called upon Tunare to Completely Heal Hamms. Unhappy with this turn of events, Hamms' playmates decided to play with Xandamir instead. She went down fast, and the rest of us followed suit quickly. Eraia, thankfully, escaped both debacles with a judicious Gate, just in the nick of time.
Kahmon again helped our group out of the hole we'd dug for ourselves, and it was deja vu', all over again.
All told, the night saw:
9 deaths
8 Essences of Moonlight looted
With some of the rudest gestures you can imagine, we left Mistmoore and crawled to camp thinking only of the next few easy steps in TGIH03A.
