NWN 12 (Aaron, Louis)

A disappointing turnout as no one else showed up but Cloaked One and Sir William were accompanied by 3 Silver Knights and Ellefrin the Sith Lord/daughter of Strahd. After some foolishness with the enchanting anvil, the small team slew Dal’ Goraki the demon with little trouble. With great cockiness we proceeded on to Silktong in Stone Leigh. Unfortunately, she had resurrected the entire coven of witches, who began with many a time stop spell. Over and over time stopped as we watched the witches rain down death on the party. By happy coincidence however it turned out that the Silver Knights were invincible! One by one the witches were slain in a war of attrition. Unfortunately Silktong was not to go down so easily, as she could only be struck on a “20″ and regenerated all damage quickly. A plan was put into place whereby Cloaked One would leave the area, memorize 6 Searing Light spells, and return to blast her with touch spells. Unfortunately, her regeneration proved too much for even this plan, and the invincible Silver Knights were all that contained her from slaying the party. Finally in a moment of inspiration Cloaked One gated in a Balor. In a great, improbable stroke of luck, the Balor rolled a critical hit. How this happened is beyond me as it appeared that it rolled 2 consecutive 20s. Lo and behold, the Balor also wielded a Vorpal Blade, and in yet another shocking development Silktong failed her save against DC 14 and was rudely decapitated. Had this not occurred it would have been a close thing as it was apparent that Cloaked One’s arsenal of spells was not quite enough to take her down, and all other melee attacks were worthless. As a result, Stone Leigh was saved from Ravenloft, Sir William and Cloaked One were proclaimed Governors of Stone Leigh, and both retired from adventuring henceforth.
