Hidden Path D&D Night. Episode 5: Another Dimensional leap
The newly acquired hell car vibrated with arcane energy as Praxis, Drogan, and Diajin activated its teleportation spell. In an instant, the world around them blurred and shifted, and they found themselves in a dimension unlike any they had ever seen. The air crackled with an otherworldly energy, and they stood amidst ancient ruins that exuded an eerie aura.
Their attention was drawn to a Dwarf female Cleric named Erica, who lay wounded and terrified amidst the chaos. Strange mechanized crab-like workers scurried around her, posing a threat to her safety. Without hesitation, the adventurers rushed to her aid, quickly grabbing her and pulling her to safety in a nearby room.
Their moment of respite was short-lived as a massive spider emerged from the shadows, its fangs dripping with venomous intent. Drogan's fury ignited, and he charged at the spider, his great axe cutting through the air. Praxis, ever the tactician, cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter on the spider, temporarily diverting its attention from its prey.
Diajin moved with swift precision, his short sword dancing through the air, finding gaps in the spider's armor to exploit. The combined efforts of the three adventurers left the spider weak and disoriented. With a powerful strike, Drogan delivered the final blow, felling the arachnid.
Among the spider's webbing, the heroes discovered a trove of valuable items—a collection of platinum rings, a potion of invisibility, and a magical great axe. Their excitement at the newfound treasures was short-lived as they continued their exploration.
In the next room, they encountered a mechanical cobra, its cold eyes fixated on them with malicious intent. Diajin, always resourceful, unleashed his Burning Hands spell, engulfing the construct in flames and quickly dismantling it.
As they progressed deeper into the ruins, they stumbled upon a massive statue of the nefarious necromancer they had been pursuing. Before they could fully comprehend the sight before them, Drogan was ambushed by a mechanical preying mantis.
Reacting swiftly, Drogan attempted to push the statue onto the attacking construct, only to realize it was a mere illusion. Before they could recover from the surprise, a gigantic construct burst through the wall. From inside, standing amidst the destruction was the very necromancer they sought—a malevolent grin etched on his face.
The ensuing battle was fierce, with the heroes giving their all to confront this formidable foe. However, the necromancer was cunning and powerful, and the tide of the fight seemed to be turning against them. In a last-ditch effort, the necromancer invoked a powerful spell, causing reality to ripple and shift.
With a mocking laugh, he plane-shifted away, leaving the heroes battered but alive. The dust settled, and they took a moment to catch their breath, knowing that their journey was far from over. The necromancer may have escaped for now, but they were determined to follow his trail wherever it led.
