Castle Amber: A D&D Adventure

Seeing Lynda dive right into the monster's mouth (presumably to cut it up from the inside?) And seeing Voulton cut through it's tree-trunk of a club, Rob is feeling chagrin at how pitifully ineffective his supposedly amazing rapier was against the Collosus.

Well, if he can't help with the main threat, maybe he can do something about that smart-slime skeleton.

Rob casts Summon Monster III, to summon a Celestial Hippogriff, and he will send it to Smite Evil upon the skeleton.

Voulton cackles and shouts "That'll teach 'em to bring wood to an axe-fight"! Seeing as how the beast still seems to want to fight (and assuming it makes no "No, stop, I give!" gestures) Voulton returns to the original plan: off with his leggie!

Rachelle, now a bit away from the field of battle, turns to look at what exactly is going on. The colossus's club is thoroughly destroyed, which she is pleased to see, but Lynda's imminent future seems fairly grim.

She feels she's played what little part she could in this battle. Maybe getting something that can deal with incorporeal monsters would be good to get, if they manage to scrape through this thing alive.

"Blasted wraiths!"

Kalar holds up his holy symbol and channels negative energy through it, putting the Fear of Kalar into them.

It began with a loud popping sound. Lynda had just thrown one of Gaspard's sacks down the colossus' throat when she heard something terrible. That was her cue to go. She vanished into the ethereal plane.
Rachelle watched as the colossus' chest imploded. Voulton was hacking away at it's leg when he noticed it start to give, "Timber!"
The Colossus began to fall towards the city. At first it seemed like it might smash into the wall but it fell just short and did no major damage in the process.

Meanwhile, Kalar was fighting with the wraiths. To Kalar's delight, all four halted in awe of his glory. Kalar's attention then went to the skeleton, who has turned and headed towards the forest. It's retreat was quickly cut off by a hippogriff sent by rob. The hippogriff slammed the skeleton to the ground, stomping it's hoofs down on the thing. The skeleton reached out with it's silvery arm then and grabbed the hippogriff. The hippogriff died, which meant turning into smoke returning to it's homeplane. The skeleton seemed too injured to get up and continue retreating at the moment.

The day seemed to have been save.

Kalar moves towards the skeleton, but keeping well out of reach of the arm he just saw kill the hippogriff.

"No more questions. Die."

Kalar focuses his holy symbol, sending a searing ray of light into the silver-armed skeleton.

Searing Light
3d8 damage (I'm assuming it's not undead)
or 7d6 if it is undead.

Seeing the Collosus fall, Rob lets out a cheer, and begins singing the chorus to "And The Drunken Man Fell Down".

He is concerned that he does not see Lynda anywhere, and is worried that someone will need to cut her out of the fallen monster's gullet.

He rides closer so he can render aid.

As Kalar's ray hit the skeleton, a deep darkness escapes the skeleton's bones. It floats up into the air and dissipates. The bones crumble into dust. All that remains is the sword he was carrying and a small pool of silvery liquid. Kalar feels compelled to obtain the liquid.

A Cheer echos forth from the city walls. The guards can be seen leaping around in celebration.

"I...I did it? We did it?" Lynda says, dumbfounded. "I can't believe the powder bag worked!"

Lynda puts on her amulet again. Lynda begins waving to the townspeople.

"People of Yvones!" Lynda calls out. "Thanks to the efforts of me, my valiant allies, and the support of Gaspard, we have slain the dreaded colossus, and saved your city from destruction!"

Taking a quick look around to assess that the battle is over and things are safely in hand, Voulton continues the grisly task of cutting the colossus' leg off. He made a promise to the dogs of this fair city and he intends to keep it.

The Sun fully rises on the victorious scene.
Voulton finds cutting the legs incredibly more easy now. He slices through it like a moist ham.
Rob watches as Lynda appears out of nowhere and glides towards the ground. Lynda puts her Amulet on a bit before fully landing and finds herself falling out of the air.
The guards open the gates and welcome in the heroes.

Having cut through the leg and finding its quality well... not even good enough for dogs, he just leaves it there. Dogs don't care it it's roasted or not and if they're dumb enough to eat it, well... bon appetit. After that, he'll take a more thorough search of the battlefield and examine whatever's left of the enemy army, see if they left anything that would explain their motivations.

Lynda waves to the crowds of people, playing up their victory and appealing to the masses. With her regal looks, there's no way she couldn't play up the image while everyone had their eyes on them.

"I will stay out here to deal with this mess. Hopefully, I'll be able to learn something of use."

Kalar takes one of his empty flasks and hands it to Hrulgin.

"Do be so kind as to try to gather that silvery liquid into that flask, please. Thank you. I am going to pick up that sword. If it looks as if I've been possessed, paralyze me and then tell the others when they arrive."

While Hrulgin is doing that, Kalar prepares his mental defenses, and picks up the sword.

"PEOPLE HAPPY!" Announces Stumpy, in case Rob had not noticed.

"They sure are, my friend, they sure are." Rob decides to help Lynda with the showboating, by following behind her and singing "The Mighty Goddess Of War" (using the variant of the lyrics suitable for mixed company)

He looks to see if he can spot Gaspard on the walls.
