On to chapter 8. This chapter is pretty straightforward - go to Vocath's base, do a little negotiating, and then fight a gauntlet of foes for Vocath's amusement. And then the BBEG crashes the victory celebration.

Read Warwyck box text.

world of Fyreen.

moons of En.
o

greatest champions to do battle in his arena.
o
Krux and Warwyck spend the three travel days

·
Vocath’s base

§

Characters talk to guards to get audience with
Vocath.
o
Read box text.
o
Let characters have a chance to plead their case
to Vocath.
o
To get Vocath’s aid, survive three fights in
arena. If characters did a good job convincing him to help, have them make a DC
20 Charisma (Persuasion) check and Vocath will allow them a moment to prepare,
granting them advantage on initiative.
·
Match 1: 2 b’rohgs with disadvantage on initiative.
o
The b’rohgs default to Multiattack until
they become bloodied, Hideous Rend the target that has damaged them the
most out of rage.
·
Match 2: Braxat, brown scavver and
gray scavver.
o
The braxat will default to Multiattack,
saving its Acid Breath as a last resort if below 50 hit points. Its
spellcasting isn’t very useful here, but it does use Psionic Shield each
round at the first opportunity. The brown scavver will attack any small sized
creature with the goal to swallow them whole, and the gray scavver will attack
any isolated spell casters or lightly armored foes.
·
Match 3: Space guppy, eaten and replaced by a
100 ft long megapede named Queen Gorma.
o The megapede is going to attack the nearest, most isolated character within its each time. If it has at least three characters nearby it uses Life Drain; if not, it defaults to Psychic Bomb against the same character it plans on attacking in hopes of incapacitating them and gaining advantage. This monster is very capable of taking characters of this level down in one hit.

End with Xeleth’s big entrance.
