Notes
Szass Tam heads to Xorvintroth. Darlon Ma seizes the opportunity to betray him. The first step is to sever Tam's connection to his phylactery. While he's off doing that, we head his way to lend our support. Along the way we encounter Szass Tam pretending to be Darlon Ma. We're totally fooled. I guess they actually swapped bodies, which is why my Locate Creature spell was fooled too? It's very confusing. Anyhow, we catch up to Darlon Ma, but he looks like Szass Tam, so we attack him, and he thinks we're helping Szass Tam, so he attacks us. At some point he tells us the truth, and then we switch targets, although we're pretty much all fine with just killing both of them. After a couple of rounds, some kind of magical contingency spells go off, and Szass Tam disappears. Not much we can do about it. So... that's it. No death of Szass Tam. I guess he is cut off from his phylactery for now, but that doesn't seem like much of a win. He certainly isn't dead. Was it even possible to kill him? I can't really tell. Depends on how the adventure was written, I guess. Certainly our team wasn't up to the task. Most of the adventure was exploration, which seemed to have no real purpose except to drain our resources. And I did indeed use a couple of potions (greater healing, and invulnerability).
