Four Pharoahs - Session Four

Iam led the way up the ladder. About two-thirds of the way, some runes on the rung he was grabbing flashed. He had seen another rune. After wrapping a cloak around the rung, he and the rest of the group gathered in am empty room with only one other way out - a set of double doors made from a black stone. Opening the door revealed a room that felt bigger than it should be. Across the room was the radiant pharaoh and a humanoid shape standing over an open sarcophagus. The new shape looked to be composed of smoke or maybe a gas. Powduc entered first. The radiant pharaoh cast a spell and disappeared. Before anyone could blink an eye, she reappeared in another room and three devils and a disembodied sword occupied places in the room in front of the group.

Pip tumbled into the room and others maneuvered to make relatively short work of the bone devil blocking the way. Zoltan grabbed Iam and teleported to the far room to attack the mystery figure. Potenzia. Upon their arrival, a large translucent lion-like creature tried to attack but was repelled by a protection circle. Iam moved to attack what turned out to be the pharaoh of numbers. It wasn't a gas or smoke, but rather a multitude of tiny, swirling numbers that made up this beast. Iam struck it, relieved it was not incorporeal. It returned the favor revealing a nasty strategy. It swarmed Iam and seemed to bite and claw at him. The creature seemed to displace the air around it which caused Iam to gasp for breath, inhaling the beast. Meanwhile Potenzi entered to tackle the devil lion.
