Kingmaker Session 34

Armag is defeated! The group has an intense battle with Armag and emerges victorious. The defeat of the Tiger Lords brings with it a surrender from the Pitax kingdom. As well as an invitation to something called the Rushlight Tournament.

Preparing for Armag

Asking Zorek about who went into the tomb with Armag, the group learned that he has 4 other warriors with him.

The group uses this information to prepare appropriate spells and abilities before they knock down the door…

The Battle

The group finds a quivering man staring into a sword that he wields in his hands. The bodies of the solders that entered the tomb with him surround him.

“I-I am Armag…” he whispers, then his face changes to one of pure anger and hatred.

“I AM ARMAG! I WILL BRING DOWN THE KINGDOM OF GLOOMWERTH AND CONQUER THESE LANDS ONCE AGAIN!”.

Armag wastes no time going in for the fight. He goes for Rox, seeing him as the strongest warrior of the group. He shows his marshal might, hitting rox despite rolling low. The group notices the threat and responds in kind.

Gregile and Suzaku cast powerful debuffs on Armag. Significantly weakening him. Stetson also tries to chunk him, unleashing the powerful Chain Lightning spell. Unfortunately, despite being in a greatly weakended state, Armag rolls a nat 20 on his save. Completely negating Stetson’s spell.

Despite this rough start, The group is able to land solid blows on Armag. Slowly bringing him down.

The group lands the final blow on Armag… But he does not go down! Armag is reanimated by the power of Orvinbane! He is confused and swinging madly but could still cause serious damage if the group does not remove Orvinbane from him quickly!

Thankfully, the group has Rox and Rox has the support of Hiru, Gregile and Stetson. by pooling their resources Rox is able to successfully force Orvinbane out of Armag’s grasp. A decisive and hard strike from Smoke’s hammer then bring an end to Armag for good.
