Healy One-Shots Malakar, Party Loots the Tomb

“The party descended into Ashwick Keep's tomb, immediately triggering a dart trap that dropped nine poison damage on Ugly before they even reached the first door. They cleared a room of four animated stone guardians in a sharp skirmish, with Ugly landing the killing blow on the first statue and Craig cleaving the second in half. The spider cave proved the session's grittiest stretch — two giant cave spiders ambushed the party in knee-deep water, cocooning Healy and chewing through Ugly's health before Craig and Ugly put them down. A warrior-pose puzzle was solved with dark ingenuity when Craig dragged the dead treasure hunter's corpse from the cocoon and used it as the 'defeated enemy' underfoot. The session ended in stunning fashion when Healy opened the boss fight by rolling a natural 20 on a Level 2 Guiding Bolt, obliterating Malakar the Grey for 50 radiant damage before the ancient wizard could take a single action.”
