His silver hair blowing in the evening breeze, and his grey eyes constantly moving and drinking in every detail, the grim grey elf stands at the edge of the camp. His 5' 3" frame stoically betrays none of the foreboding the elf is feeling, and he turns to look at the others. Lief surveys the motley party assembled before him. There is the foolish warrior human who so recently got himself killed and was still toying with his fingers in wonder to be alive, sitting under a tree chatting quietly with his human girlfriend, who was a mere hireling until recently. Nearby is the human's other dwarven henchman, the elf's own henchmen Haedake and Allan (who he has found about as useful as a set of belt pouches), and Suisse the thief (who the elf still distrusts as much as any of the other thieves who have come and gone in this little group).
Description of Phaedrus, Allan, Haedake, Suisse, Quartz and Kay. Help here guys?
then turned back to the Tower. "Tomorrow we finish off the second floor of the Tower, so make yourselves ready," Leif said grimly as he stared at the evil black spire in the distance.
18th Coldeven
[Lief]:
Leif, Phaedrus, Suisse, and the henchmen are on the second level of the Tower of Tharizdun. The party enters a room and sees a large, black coffin.
They ready themselves for the Vampire they believe must lie within.
Preparations made, the group flips open the lid to find the enwrapped limbs of a different sort of undead, a mummy! They nail the creature anyway, and find that it was actually a Vampire enwrapped in a shroud. They know this because it turns gaseous and flies away. The party believes that if you keep a Vampire from re-entering it's coffin, it dies, so they encase the coffin in the thick outer wall of the Tower with a stone shape spell. As they turn away from their task, they find Shzzt, Captain Koole, Steele Bonecrusher and Major Bummer looking at them, ready to do battle. Phaedrus and Shzzt recognize each other just before all hell breaks loose, and the party decides to join forces.
The Vampire returns to warn the party that it wants it's coffin back. Making idle threats, it has no choice but to awaken it's brother from centuries of sleep. The brother Vampire attacks the group and drains part of Phaedrus' life force (4 levels). The group manages to kill this Vampire as well and then makes plans to return to Castle Greyhawk.
22nd Coldeven
[Lief]:
Once there, they convince the Clerics of Istus to use Restoration spells to make Phaedrus whole again. In return, Leif shows the Clerics of Istus the magic pool which will give them a magical year of aging back every month. He also promises them escort to and from the pool every month, until they have healed all of their unnatural aging from spell casting.
