GameHoleCon epic

I started a weekly AL group playing through the Elemental Evil series of modules. This group completed two mini-adventures in the "City of Danger" module : MA 2 (FIRE) and MA 3 (EARTH). They earned a potion of fire resistance (consummable, went to one character), a scroll of Speak with Animals (consummable, went to one character), +1 renown Lord's Alliance, +1 renown Emerald Enclave, and 80gp each.

Ioun Stone of Fortitude
Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)
When you use an action to toss this stone into the air, the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet and it confers a benefit to you. Your Constitution score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20, while this pink rhomboid orbits your head.

+3 Scimitar
Weapon (Scimitar), very rare
Formerly owned by an efreeti the sword glows with a dull red if a marid is within 60 feet.

Potion of Vitality
Potion, very rare
When you drink this potion, it removes any exhaustion you are suffering and cures any disease or poison affecting you. For the next 24 hours, you regain the maximum number of hit points for any Hit Die you spend. The potion's crimson liquid regularly pulses with dull light, calling to mind a heartbeat.

We began the adventure, and I took things a little slowly. I bungled some of the map details regarding visibility. The party met Respen Shadowswimmer, reached Plagueshield Point, battled four Water Weirds, saved the drow escapee (Eskellika), then made their way up to Upper Plagueshield Point. There, they battled two barbed devils and two imps. Ljubmir the Bone Devil fled to the Geode before the characters saw it. The characters took a short rest in the Commander's Chamber. The characters then proceeded along the hallway and solved the mural puzzle (Bonus Objective A), gaining access to Respen's records room, where they battled four Helmed Horrors. They took another short rest, and made their way to the demonologist's tower, where they just barely survived the encounter with Chain Devil Viltharn and his four imp servants. They retreated to Respen's records room for a long rest, ending the first 2/3rds of the module.

TPK ! :(
