Dungeon 15 Turn 53

————

After making their final preparations, the party (except for Amadeusz) advances to the next room to finally confront the arachnomancer high priestess.

She is ready for them.

“I knew I could sense intruders befouling this holy place.”

“And I see that traitor walks among them.”

“The Goddess whispered of you in my dreams. The ingrate who rejected Her every gift and mercy.”

“I shall make to her a sacrifice of thanks for this opportunity to destroy you myself.”

“Prepare yourself, creature!”

“You will not leave this temple alive!!”

The high priestess snarls and lays (another) curse upon Lara, cutting her Def in half and leaving her vulnerable to poison damage in a way she is no longer accustomed to. Both spiders then attack her, dealing a total of 8 damage… but Lara remains standing.

The party then counterattacks. Lara and Sue slay one of the spiders, while Ricki and Princess slay another, leaving the high priestess standing alone.

Meanwhile, Amadeusz stands around in a nearby hallway, waiting for his moment to join in.
