Roderick Victorious

I continued with my Demonslayer campaign. After some more wandering, I had the opportunity to summon a Demon Lord. I decided to chance it, and end the campaign for good or ill.

Roderick vs. the Demon Queen

Roderick began having ghostly visions. Using his knowledge gained from his adventures, he was able to challenge the demon lords. I used clues to cause a demon to appear.

Suddenly, Inthara, Queen of Flames, appeared.

Roderick attacked using his new axe. He managed to inflict a number of wounds upon Inthara. However, the heat of the flames that surrounded her threatened to overwhelm him. Then she managed strike him with her burning staff. Roderick was close to death. But he took a mighty swing, and chopped off her head!

Game Notes

This was an incredibly tense battle. 

• Roderick (Rod) used all his healing potions prior to the battle, but he still was down to 24 hp. Inthara started with 26 hp.
• Inthara had the chance of doing up to 6 hp of damage per turn - 4 from attacks and 2 from heat damage. Rod only had an axe that did 3 hp.
• Nevertheless, things started well. Rod managed to get in a bunch of hits while avoiding damage.
• But then the heat began to takes its toll, slowly whittling away his hp.
• Finally, both were down to 2 hp. Rod got first attack, and hit! Down went Inthara!

What Next?

• The rules state that you can play an ongoing campaign, keeping your character and going after the remaining demons.
• However, Rod's down to 2 hp. Should I reset the game? Rod won't last long otherwise.
