Shattered Star - Beyond the Doomsday Door - Bob's Dulcet Tones

*Catching up*

The party casts a number of buffs just before they enter the final room where they face Ardathanatus.

The interior of this great, forty-foot-high cathedral shimmers with a nauseating pale green light. The room seems even larger for the lack of furnishings, save for a few crumbling pews and four immense pillars. To the north, a pair of towering wood and metal doors lie closed. It is from the edges of these looming doors that the foul green light emanates, as it seems to leak out along the walls in writhing streams. Twisted bodies of strange and not quite humanoid forms lie strewn about the north end of the room, and a strangely disturbing wind seems to pulse in the very air.

Standing there are Ardathanatus, four sinspawn, and two gongornians

The sinspawn lurking at the far end of the are room wielding bows and arrows. Ardathanatus casts blade barrier to block the party. Tryptic steps forward and yells, "UNFORGE THESE BLADES!" With a gesture the blade barrier vanishes.  The gongornians attempt to cast something upon Tryptic but he shrugs off the foul magics.

Morrigan leads off with a fireball (I should have cast haste; I'm a dumbass), bolstering it with her arcane energy. The cathedral echoes with a resounding BOOM as the entire place fills with flame. The magical fire washes over the vile mob.

Wil charges in and is slashed by one of the gongornian. Akeela is also wounded and fails to land a bite on Ardathanatus. Wil is able to land a palpable hit, but Ardathanatus still stands.

Jazeem leaps and lands a hit on Ardathanatus.

The four sinspawn level their bows at the attacks. Two fire at Akeela, one fires as Wil, and one fires at Jazeem - however, all miss.

Kandamereus moves in and begins casting. Koriah lands a hit on the gongornian.

The other gongornian attacks Akeela and lands a number hits (75 points of damage in one round).

Tryptic attempts to move in.

Ardathanatus casts blasphemy and a wave of magic passes over Tryptic, Wil, and Jazeem. Tryptic is dazed while Wil and Jazeem is weakened. He follows up and heals himself. The gongornians press their attack and Akeela falls.

Morrigan dispels magic on Ardathanatus. Wil draws his shield. Jazeem activates his flaming fists and punches. Sinspawn fire at Jazeem but only minimal hit.

Kandamereus finishes casting and 2 shadows emerge and attack.

The battle continues (editing out repetitive minutia).

After several rounds, Jazeem manages to knock Ardathanatus out.

SUDDENLY THE DOOMSDAY DOOR OPENS AND THE QLIPPOTH LORD YAMASOTH APPEARS! 

Yamasoth attempts to draw the dying form of Ardathanatus into his realm.

Morrigan summons the couatl, Tsikinal, who owed them a favor for rescuing him (didn't note that episode). He appears and holds on to Ardathanatus.

Wil and Jazeem continue to fight the gongornians.

Yamasoth glares at Wil, Jazeem, and Koriah as a wave of vile energy wash over them. The magic twists the form of the three: Wil becomes a goat, Jazeem is again a chicken, and Koriah becomes a cat. However, Jazeem is able to recall who he actually is.

They are pulled into the other realm and the doors slam shut.

Kandamereus and Morrigan lock the doomsday door.

Jazeem presses his attack with his acidic chicken feet.

The party manages to destroy the gongornians and the sinspawn.

Tsikinal appears with the body of Ardathanatus.

Tryptic heals the party and they return to the lighthouse where Morrigan can cast break enchantment.
