Illasera The Quick
Leslie and his friends were pulled into adventuring again. The Bhaal essence in Leslie's soul took him in another dangerous story. He listened to the talking stone heads and discovered that there is some prophecy involving him as a main character. But Jan interrupted Leslie's thinking. He sensed someone approaching. Basic protectios were put on, Jan set 3 of his normal traps (I didn't rest after the Jonny boy's fight - underestimated Illasera!) and Leslie summoned a Planetar and a Skeleton Warrior.
A group of mages and fighters appeared out of the woods and they were led by a woman named Illasera. She mentioned the Children of Bhaal and that she is one of them. And she wanted to prove that she is stronger than Leslie! We had to prove her wrong.
Haer, Leslie and Jan used PFMW and Keldorn used True Sight. Jan's traps killed the mage and injured the nearby fighter. Illasera went ethereal and couldn't be seen even with true sight. So Haer, Keldorn and Planetar took care of the cleric and the fighters in the mean time. Illasera finally appeared again the party went after her. Luckily she started hitting Planetar first, so Haer and Keldorn could hit her. But Planetar quickly died after her masterful hits with a bow. Haer's PFMW wore off and he had no more of them memorized. He kept attacking her with Offensive Spin but Illasera changed her attacks to Keldorn. Her damage was insane. Her hit damaged Keldorn for 50+24 damage (I don't know what the second number stands for?) and he died in half a round unable to escape. Illasera then attacked Haer and before he could do anything he was dead too. Her arrows dispel and prevent further spell casting. Horrible!
This was time for serious action. Leslie used his last combo of TS + IA + hell and that finished Illasera for good.
(a lesson for me: do not underestimate fights in TOB on "insane"!)
And then Leslie and his friends were pulled into some other Plane of existance.
