Assault on FedXorn

This should be the last DnD post for about a week.

We just finished the second session of the new Fugglies campaign.

High level encounters are mega slow to run. Each fight takes about 2-3 hours. We started the game in the new Crater Ridge Mines development. Ioctl is the super there and is charged with repairing the damaged caldera and refilling the lake so the new tenants have some water-front property.

The first session dealt with Ioctl wrapping us some loose ends in the Crater Ridge Mines. First he had to evict Demogorgon from the property (well actually just Demogorgon's employee, a Sorrow Demon and 10 Aspects of Demogorogon) and then a timeshare meeting got interrupted by a newly summoned epic-level abomination from the plane of evil air elementals. The timeshare salespeople were very upset as the Abomination was killing their potential commissions.

Elani died in that last fight. Nate almost bit the dust twice, but didn't. (Just one character death in two sessions. I'm not living up to expectations here.)

This night's session was mostly about Ioctl taking the team to the ruins of the Temple of Elemental Evil and attempting to talk Ogremoch, the Prince of Evil Earth Elementals, to come to the Crater Ridge Mines and repair the caldera. Ioctl had previously summoned Ogremoch, but failed to best him by himself. So instead of going back to whence he came, Ogremoch sets up residence the old Temple of Elemental Evil. Ioctl plans on using the Fugs to best Ogremoch in a feat of strength (at least that's the plan.)

In the first floor of the temple, a giant Xorn named the Returns Queen is running a parcel service known as FedXorn. Dracustous discovers his great-great-great-great-grandmother's shipment to him has been smashed to bits by various earthquakes that run rampant throughout the premises. Dracustous plots his revenge on FedXorn.

We ended the game with the party defeating a huge Elemental Earth Dragon and then starting to pick a fight with the Returns Queen.

It was great fun.
