last weekend (summary)

["Rick Myers" <leviathan_60@hotmail.com>]

At high noon a dark stain spread across the Rhoughterro skyline, blotting 
out the sun.  Moments later 4 Hirudo emerged from the dirt at  the foot of 
the solarium, softening up the priests inside and drawing out their spell 
units.  The party arrived as the shock troops were being swept away to 
witness a large, heavily armed group battering the doors to the solarium, as 
two wraiths and a number of wraith-hounds solidified and prepared for 
battle.  There was a prolonged battle in the streets including some of the 
following:
A 30ft giant (enmassed)
an Air Elemental (usaually invisible)
10 other player characters
a Conflaguration (Phantasmal thankfully)
a shadow drako
A Greater Demon
2 7'7 Wraiths
12 Wraith Hounds
18 Thugs (mostly marines)
an elephant
and a partridge in a pear tree (though most failed to notice it).

Two of the party fought thier way through to the temple, while the remainder 
of the party disrupted the attack outside.  The two inside (well, the one 
remaining conscious anyway), successfully called daylight down into one of 
the solarium's bunkers (hidden behind a bookcase on the left side of the 
building for fututre reference), and released 6 dark locked warriors.  The 
suicide soldiers, infected with corruption by a hirudo, cleared the thugs 
from within the solarium as the party fought off the last of the assault 
troops outside.

At the end of the battle, the leader of the assualt was forced by Divine 
Word to Excomminicate Rhonda, a priestess of Rudri healed of her insanity by 
a player character on a previous adventure.  Her engagement to be married to 
said PC (Leather), was announced shortly thereafter.  She walked to the 
temple of Isis afterward for a long period of prayer.

The leader of the attack was able to narrowly escape.  It was later 
determined by the party that the attack was launched in an attempt to sieze 
two artifacts believed to be housed in the solarium (see my previous 
adventure summary). 2 young priests of Ra were killed in the attack, and 
many more were wounded.

It should be noted that the two nearest squads of T'orites did not arrive 
until after the battle's end.  They were expected to come, and ambushed 2 
blocks from the solarium.  The T'orite troops sustained numerous wounds, 
several broken ribs, 2 broken arms, and a concussion (all of which were 
subsequantly healed by the temple of Isis).

A GM note: those present at the battle will be considered by the priesthood 
of Ra to have done them a great favor in a time of great need.
