Surprise

After speaking with the stone giant, we made our plan to take down Rezmir. What we came up with was an ambush in our room just down the hall from Rezmir's. Back at the castle, we had stolen a golden statue belonging to the cultists. We placed that statue on a desk and requested word be sent to Rezmir that she be needed in the room regarding stolen items.

You don't get very many 4th level spells as a level 8 wizard. We spent the one on invisibility for most of the party, hoping it could buy us one free round of attacks on Rezmir. It worked!

We found hiding places (easier to do when invisible), Skrillyn and Bromide by the door, Duri in the corner, and Salar, who was not invisible, hiding outside on the balcony. Silently we waited.

After a few moments, the door slid open. A towering figure loomed in the doorway. Not ready for combat, Rezmir's sword remained sheathed behind her. Two steps into the room, Skrillyn lunged forward, attempting to take the sword from her. Effortlessly he grasped the sword, pulled it away, and threw it across the room.

Suddenly, almost the entire room went dark. Unseen chaos ensued. Magic missiles were fired, punches were thrown, acid went everywhere, and Rezmir tripped over Bromide in her attempt to escape. Duri stood alone outside the darkness, uncertain of anything going on inside. Before too long, the light returned, and before Duri stood Bromide, Skrillyn, and a really, really big snake. Rezmir lay silently beneath them.

In our best effort to hide what he had done. We turned her into dust and threw her ashes off the balcony.



The time it took to plan this battle approached 3 hours. We were certain at least one of us would die. In the end, it took at most 3 rounds to dispatch Rezmir, and we barely took any damage. It was a D&D miracle.
