And on to the Mage in the black tower
So we hear from Terra that Grog is indeed the general of Kurgan's army. We still need to find out why Kurgan has an army. We head back Terra's tower, get her a couple of $5k value opals for a spell, I get myself a scroll of Go Behind from Terra and we head out to the Black Tower.
Dugan drops us off at the coast of the desert and I get the 3rd watch. The servant and pavillion show up with the tower. I wake up everyone else and the mage comes out. We start a conversation with Gildere saying "We came for Gabriel." Silly silly Gildere. We banter back and forth and finally someone insults his mother, so it's on!!!
The servant, whose name is Tim, shouts, "He's torturing Gabriel," and draws his swords. Endel and Gildere charge him, I go poof and move to the left from the Pavillion. Endel strikes him and we hear a thunderclap (just a coincidence). Endel swings right through him and we look behind and he's standing in the middle of a 120 foot wide patch of grass/foliage with a staff sticking out of the ground. We all halt in our tracks and move towards him. Endel moves towards him and Terra disintegrates about 5% of the grass (we figured out the math, and the grass was larger than she expected). However, we know that there isn't an anti magic spell covering the grass.
I dimension door and try to backstab, but he had truseeing up so it wasn't a backstab damage. Over the next couple of rounds, sorry it's a blur, but here is what happened. Tim falls over writhing in pain, we get rid of his 14 extra mirror images (which sucks up a round of my 22 strength which sucked balls). Baldin got trapped in a cage. He stuns Terra and Gildere, I ironbands of bilarro him and Baldin casts insect plague so he can't cast spells. He takes off straight up in the air and I take off after him. (Note - Baldin wouldn't have been able to cast his bug spell unless the Mage conjured up some grass.) I clear the insects just in time to see a fireball go right down below him and the incects scatter and Baldin, Tim and Gildere take some fireball damage. I swing again and hit and then...
HOLY CRAP!!!!
I stand up and i'm on the ground, I figured out that I was flesh to stoned. Terra is dead and they stick her in Gildere's bag of holding. I'm around and we go to the base of the ramp and Tim turns around and says to Baldin "Promise me you'll get me off this world."
We head in and Tim takes us to the wall where the mage goes and sees Gabriel. I passwall and we see Runes of Pain. We pass through and I start to shake and am in pain. We see Gabriel, I attempt to pick the lock but fail. This pain...REALLY IS FREAKING ANNOYING. I use my misorly Chime of Opening and get him out of the shackles. We go back through the hole in the wall and the PAIN INCREASES 2 FOLD! OMFG, now I'm shaking convulsively. We head out and the band of 6 of us head out. As we leave, Gildere flies up and finds the mage's body on top of the tower, Gildere disintegrates the body. Luckily this annoying shaking ends in about a half hour and we make it to Dugan's boat by the afternoon.
Baldin speaks to Terra (he evidently can speak to dead), she doesn't know what killed her, Gildere doesn't need any information about her tower, and we find out that she can get rez'ed at the archmage world. Gildere and Gabriel head to Terra's tower and the rest of us head to the Archmage world. On the boat, Tim attones for his deeds. When we arrive on the Archmage World, we get Terra to the clerics ASAP. A half hour later, the clerics come out to get the mage that met us. Another half hour the cleric and mage come out and explain that it was Monterro's Retaliation. Gildere disentigrated the body so we can't bring back the mage which is preventing Terra from being resurrected. Yea... at this point, gildere prevented terra from being resurrected. Endel and I head to a room they prepared for us, he seethes...whatever the hell that is.
OH HOLY CRAP!!!
We see Terra, Endel takes off for the docks where Baldin is. Terra and I have a conversation and what kind of pull does he have on this world. We then head to the boat and have an intense conversation with Endel. He said that Baldin just very recluse and wouldn't tell him what was going on. So we wait to go back to the tower. When we arrive, we see that Baldin has no symbols on his armor anymore. Endel head straight to the tower and finds a room. We all gather in the main hall and Baldin tells us that he lost all of his powers. He is no longer a healer or has any powers. He is just a straight up warrior....
....
What am I supposed to say here? He's not a healer anymore. We are all conversing with Baldin and he turns to head to his room. Gabriel pipes up and says that the weapons that are in the trunk that Gildere has are uber and will allow us to hurt Kurgan. He says that Kurgan has a Barrier of Thoth. Which means anything lower than 10th level spells can't go through it, but he can cast out of it. He also has Nova which he uses after the Warlord clears the city of high level mopes. He explains that Terra is going to learn a spell that will reverse the Barrier of Thoth so that the Nova will kill him. Gabriel says that when we are ready all we have to do is open the chest.
And that's where we end for now.
