Evening the score

Entering the room where they believed Osterneth was laired, the heroes were confronted by another small hoard of minions and several other creatures of much more significant power, including Osterneth.

Springing into action, Kuppies set up a large acid burst that quickly dismantled most of the minions. Rudy took out a couple on his way to deal with Osterneth while Ekeraath did is best to keep the others busy.

As everyone focused on Osterneth's underlings, Rudy went after her. As he approached, he was buffeted by an aura of necrotic pain, but continued on. Much to his disappointment, he had to wade through a pool of necrotic filth that negated all of his necrotic resistances. He still landed what should have been a devastating blow to Osterneth, but he didn't know that while in the pool, she was immune to non Radiant damage.

As Ekeraath kept the remaining minions busy, Kuppies and Alexander closed on Osterneth. Meanwhile, Leenia unleashed a blast of radiant energy that while absorbed by the pool, caused it to fade away, leaving Osterneth open to all damage types.

Once her pool was gone, the heroes focused fire, defeating the evil Lich and claiming Vecna's heart from her chest. The evil they had been tricked into releasing, they had defeated.

I was a bit disappointed in this combat as it really wasn't as challenging as I had hoped. In addition, my 5 year old proved extremely difficult in putting to bed, which distracted everyone from the battle.
