Waves of basilisk , lizards , bats and even elementals stroke the pass of Varralas. Many Sshamathian guards perished either from petrification gazes or trampled under the stampede of raging animals.
But Sshamathian were on their toes that cycle , many of the bravest realizing for the first time that Sshamath was under seige. The Alhoon made many new ennemies that cycle , Ssshamath does not stand alone with its guards. The masses of adventurer-citizens stand ready to jump to arms and defend it.
With reinforcement of adventurers pourring from the city , the small armada went forth and stroke back , clearing beasts and magical beings alike from the pass. Litle did they know , the true danger came from within as the alhoon seized controls of the weakess minds of his ennemies , attempting to lure them away into a trap or simply kill each others.
It came close to ... but they eventually saw though the deception, and then nothing could save the Alhoon's minon.
In a tunel not far , the final show down took place, magic flew , caves almost collapsed over their head but in the end. The illithid serving the alhoon was slain , impaled and dumped in a river with strong currents. Hopefully sending back a mesage to the Alhoon as the illithid floated away...
// Thanks to DM mr. Rogers , was a very fun event , and very usefull to ; i was suprised how many did not know about the main plot of the Alhoon and Sshamath's seige, so it was a great update for many that either had their heads in the sand or dont come on forum, and many is the right word as party size had easily quadrupled by the end of the event
