Gillian was able to carefully position a few AOE spells like Tidal Wave and Shatter, but otherwise it was all martial attacks, trading vicious blows back and forth, with lots of parries and dodges. The Clay Gladiators use a slightly modified Gladiator statblock (CR 5) giving them over 100 hit points and three attacks per round with a +7 to hit. The party smartly decided to split-up, with Therin, Khaless, and George continuing into the tiny arena, while Mannix and Gillian moved back towards the top where they could look down into the pit from relative safety.įour clay warriors, shaped like Chultan warriors, marched toward the arena, where they were met with the blades (and shillelagh) of the trio in the arena.Ī long, brutal battle followed.

Stairs to the north descended down.Īfter exploring the small space the party made their way down the stairs, which curved in a tunnel to the west and south before leading east to the barred pit.

#THE ARENA OF ANNIHILATION SERIES#
Reliefs depicted the jaguar-with-snake-hair training Chultan warriors in a series of fighting drills. Orvex identified the shrine as Shagambi’s, the honorable kamadan. Artus and Dragonbait took on the kamadans loitering outside, while the rest of the party ducked inside. The nine shrines are scattered through the city, but the party happened to be just outside of one of them after the shenanigans with the zombies and vegepygmies. The party learned from Orvex, the Red Wizard scholar whom they had rescued here in Omu, that the shrines hold the keys to accessing Acererak’s tomb beneath the city. We’ve returned from a two-week hiatus, and officially begun diving into the shrines of Omu, starting with Shagambi.
