Solo 'Through Sunken Lands RPG', a Tilly and Moonwane adventure, session 9

The Final Session

I have got to the climax of the Tilly and Moonwane sessions of Through Sunken Lands, here is the write up.  I used owlbear.rodeo to run this session, 

The ruins of the White Citadel.

Tilly scouts around the perimeter of the ruined citadel keeping out of sight, she spots the Lamassau guarding one of the entrances but spots nothing else moving in the area, she reports back to Moonwane and Farhad.  They decide to hide the camels as best as they can in amongst some rocks and scrub and with the Lamassau blocking the more hidden entrance they decided the only way is to enter the citadel is by its now dilapidated main entrance.
Farhad spends the morning performing the Mage Armour Ritual and gets +4 AC (ritual lasts for up to one month).  They decide to check out a large ruined tower set apart from the main citadel and to their right but as they step out into the open they are met by 8 lesser chaos children armed with clubs who rush out of the very tower they planned to investigate.  Tilly draws her Runesword and Moon his battle axe, Farhad keeps behind the two for now.

Lesser Chaos Children 
HP 4
Attack +0, 1d4 damage Club
AC 12
Tilly and Moonwane have positioned themselves between two rocky outcrops, the lay of the land will act like a funnel to the onrushing Chaos men, narrowing as the near the adventures, meaning only three can attack at once, Tilly and Moonwane have a good defensive position.
In the opening attack, 3 chaos children move into contact with Tilly and Monewane who have the advantage.


Tilly misses her assailant but suffers no damage in return. 
Moonwane hits one of the chaos children causing 5 damage, it goes down, but a third hits Moon with its club causing 2 points of damage (moon now has 15hp), 
In the second combat round, Tilly hits her attacker for 5 damages, a second Chaos beast goes down.
Moon also hits one of his attackers for 6 points, so a third is out of the fight, neither Tilly or Moon take any hits.
Round three and Tilly again strikes her attacker for 3 damage, not enough to kill, but she takes no hits in return.
Moon too hits another, this time for 6 damage and a fourth is taken down, he takes no hits.
Round 4 and Tilly finishes off her attacker.
Moon again hits one and a 6th chaos child if taken out.  The last two turn and flee the battle.

Tilly, Moonwane and Farhad catch their breath after the brief but furious combat and cautiously move towards the large ruined tower, Whiskers is no where to be seen have quickly disappeared at the first sight of the chaos children.

Moon and Farhad enter the ruins of the larger tower only to find it is empty, containing nothing but rubble and some bushes, Tilly walks over to the check out the old walkway cut into the rocks leading to what is now the ruins of the main gateway into the citadel.

With the reality of finding the ruined tower empty now upon them, Moonwane and Farhad cross over the open ground to Tilly who is keen to press on into the citadel itself.

As the three march up the walkway towards the main entrance of the ruined citadel, two skeletons armed with bows appear on the ramparts and fire arrows at the trio.



A further two skeletons armed with swords appear at the ruined gateway entrance to the citadel.

Skeletons
HP 4 
AC13
Attack +1 to hit, 
2 have longswords 1d8 damage, 
2 have shortbows 1d6 damage (if they attack or are attacked in melee, they will use a dagger 1d4 damage)

Tilly is hit by one of the arrows being fired at them, she takes 4 hit points of damage.  The trio rush the sword armed skeletons in the citadel entrance and in a quick sword fight the two skeletons are dispatched by Tilly and Moon, Till though is hit by a sword and takes a further 3 hits.

As they run across the ruined courtyard the bow armed skeletons fire more arrows at the 
adventures, Farhad is hit for 5 points, Tilly engages in a fire fight with the skeletons, arrows are flying back and forth, Moon and Farhad make their way to the second tower.  Tilly is hit for a further 3 hit points, she does manage to take out both skeletons though, however she has now sustained 10 hits
of damage.

In the ruined tower they have just entered a search reveals a stair way leading to an underground passage.  As they explore the passage they see a skeletal figure clad in mail armour, it seems not to notice the trio who attempt to sneak past it but as they do so it reaches out and grabs Tilly, before anyone can react both the skeleton and Tilly disappear.

Tilly finds herself in a large well lit room,  on a large throne  in the centre of the room sit a large fat purple humanoid demon,  gorging itself on rotting food brought to it by a precession of mindless chaos creatures some of whom it devotees along with the food. 
It seems to take little notice of Tilly. 
Tilly looks around and sees the broken figure of Karloak chained to the wall,  she goes over to him,  he seems unconscious but alive.
The demon stops eating and turns to Tilly,  manic laughter reverberates around the room,  it stuffs it's mouth with more food and chaos creatures then tells Tilly that she is just in time to see the old man breath his last breath before she breaths hers.  The demon clasps his hands together and Karloak grunts then breaths his last breath.  
As the demon turns its attention to Tilly, she draws her Rune Sword which is glowing ice blue, she rushes at the demon and before it can react she is able to sink the sword deep into the flesh of the demon which screams then a blinding blue light and a shock wave throws Tilly back against the wall, that was the last thing she remembered.

Moonwane and Farhad search the citadel grounds, keeping their distants from the Lamasue, but Tilly was not to be found, eventually they gave up the search for her and made their way back to the great city.  The war with the chaos children in the southern lands ended with the death of Karloak and the demon, Tilly was lost to them but they both vowed to

Adventure On.
