Session 32 8/2/4446 BCCC Journeying West

 

Lynette, ex ponygirl of Oriax, Eardvulf's squeeze

Heading west downhill the trees clear a little, and you see ruins ahead, the remains of two ancient roofless stone buildings. To their right (north) is a low cliff atop which more moonlit ruins stand.
As you draw nearer the closer of the two vine-wrapped ruins at the base of the low cliff. The nearer ruin is little more now than two walls forming an L-shape, wrapped in vines...

GAME LOG

Shambling Mound

Smon: OK, we could have your two PCs scouting ahead of the main group on your journey

Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. Delving into a dungeon with half of the group missing is probably not a good idea.

6:12pm  2015-8-28 boredom3031 Has entered the room

Smon: HI Boredom

boredom3031: Hello Simon

Hobgoblin warrior

Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Zach

Smon: I'm good.  GM: OK, the plan at last session was that the 4 PCs would escort a gaggle of slave/harem girls & Malenn & Jana Vex to Thusia, home of the good sorceress Lady Meda.

boredom3031: Hello Kjato

Smon: Are you up for that or want to do something else? I was thinking your 2 PCs could scout ahead of the main group to explain player absence.

boredom3031: Sounds good to me.

Smon: It's Hakeem that Oriax will want dead, unless he spotted Bjornalf. 

Kjato Ragfoot: Well, only you know whether or not Oriax spotted Bjornalf.

boredom3031: i'm cool with whatever everyone else wants to do. 

Kjato Ragfoot: Let's go and steal something valuable.

Kjato Ragfoot: Sapphires (for me) and rubies (for you).

boredom3031: I do like the red ones better.

Kjato Ragfoot: Rubies are the read ones.

boredom3031: Yep

Kjato Ragfoot: Good.

Kjato Ragfoot: We just need to figure out where to get sapphires and rubies.

boredom3031: That is true. 

Smon: GM: The route to Thusia goes through Bratanis, Lady Aeschela of Bratanis is known for the largenesse of her jewels 

Kjato Ragfoot: Excellent!

boredom3031: Hopefully not a double entendre. 

Smon: GM: It is early afternoon when the ragtag band hurriedly departs Selatine, the slave girls carrying supplies for the journey, Malenn & the menfolk armed and ready.

Smon: For once it's not raining, a high breeze sends clouds scudding across the sky, a slight chill (by Altanian standards) in the air.

boredom3031: (Just cracked open a gaming beer. :p) 

Smon: You head west; the route avoiding Oriax will take you through the ruins of Thracia, best traversed in daylight.

Smon: (me too! Abbot Ale) 

Smon: (500 ml, should do me awhile)

boredom3031: (Some cheap honey brewed beer for myself.  )

Smon: /roll d6

Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,

Kjato Ragfoot: (I am sipping an excellent soda)

boredom3031: Eard travels with the group. Axe in hand ready for anything that might happen.

Smon: 8 miles and 3 hours brings you through the woods to Thracia around 4pm, the waterfall sparkling in the afternoon sunlight. Are you going to head straight west through the ruins to the path up the cliffs on the western side of the city?

Kjato Ragfoot: What is the alternative?

Smon: You could skirt the southern edge of the ruins and then head north along the base of the cliff to the path up.

boredom3031: Yeah what's the other option?

Smon: There is an old marble quarry that marks the south edge of the city.

boredom3031: (What do you think, Kjato?)

Kjato Ragfoot: (Right through)

boredom3031: (Sounds good to me.  )

Smon: Thracia map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSth_KPgipQq7V7r7Tm8fzGOxULd7RVIPhtkmjmnhEy4Lc1zeIEgWjzgSkNYbgtERtIjisYc6U-EwPLGNH9UhPYRkPPsFtXhw3pXRniyrEUc1LrWwm6FmlRQE_OJY1vfzRlHEB6nHLA_0/s1600/Thracia+city.jpg - Q is the quarry.

Kjato Ragfoot: (I already prepared my new character, thus prepared for all eventualities :D)

Smon: Most direct route to the path south of the waterfall runs L-N-A.

boredom3031: Let's do that

Kjato Ragfoot: Yep.

Smon: L is an ancient arena with vine-covered stone stands, you pass it without incident.

boredom3031: (if this barbarian wasn't as good in alignment, I'd almost say a conan the barbarian like raid.  )

Smon: You reach N, a wide plaza where great statues of Bacchus and Poseidon still stand, surrounded by lesser statues of frolicking sea nymphs.

Smon: The central fountain is now choked with viscous green goo.

Smon: All is silent...

Smon: /roll d6

Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,

Smon: You pass through the silent plaza.

boredom3031: Eard has been learning to keep his axe in hand. Never knowing when you might need it ready. 

Smon: Proceeding down a street flanked by ruined buildings, you reach the base of the path and begin to climb the 300' up to the cliffs above.

boredom3031: Eard puts his axe away to start his climb. 

Smon: The sounds of the forest rise up to you as you climb - shrieking monkeys, bright-plumed cawing birds, the roar of the waterfall.

Smon: /roll d6

Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,

Smon: Eard is sure-footed enough, but does have to put his hand on a buxom ex-pony girl when she stumbles and threatens to fall from the narrow path...

Smon: (possibly a bit top-heavy) 

boredom3031: hah

boredom3031: Eard helps the girl out 

Smon: /roll d20

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 16,

boredom3031: (just want to show off my pool of radiance character.)

boredom3031: http://s12.postimg.org/z11g3fjgt/lol.png

Smon: The girl, now clad in blue & white polka dots, smiles gratefully. "Thanks. I'm Lynette...."

Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOnyLJ_OLgYRL06epphzkGpoU4yhBG4J40eKZytxL9ElsDNB87Ym2uQ5fduJJk641mJTdDmf68v4OWjVMRWLsWqhyBmQbb8GyrHHVb7_Vo8CRZ1xdBcWa7NyR74yDvWDVxw1cJfOuLGnM/s320/sexy-babes-in-blue-11.jpg

boredom3031: Eard smiles back to the lady and replies "You are quite welcome, I am Eard." 

boredom3031: ( oh damn)

Smon: "I'm sure you are..." It's nearing 5pm when you reach the top of the cliffs and can take a moment to survey the vista, the distant ocean glinting amber in the evening light.

boredom3031: Eard visually scans the area.

Smon: Jana Vex, now dressed again in the white & gold of an Apollo priestess, speaks up. "We should press on, there is still a long way to Bratanis."

boredom3031: Eard nods to Jana, making his way without hesitation.

Smon: Looking west, you see the trail leads away from the river, up into the wild heights of the Ghinarian hills.

Smon: This time of year the hills are lush and green.

boredom3031: "What is that way?" Eard asks.

Smon: Jana points to the trail running west-south-west into the hills. You press on as evening turns to dusk and dusk to night.

Smon: The slave girls are soon complaining of sore feet.

boredom3031: "Better than sore knees right now." Eard replies, continuing on.

Smon: You have travelled about 5 miles, and it is around 7.30pm, an hour after nightfall, when you top a rise and see to the west the land leading down to the valley of the Thrace river, and the distant lights of Bratanis twinkling, some 5 miles away. However the trail you are on leads away south-west on a much longer route.

boredom3031: (kjato, pass out on us?)

Kjato Ragfoot: (No, I am still here)

Smon: It looks as if you could head downhill through a mile or so of rough wooded hill country to the lush valley, then follow the river up to Bratanis. Alternately you could stay on this trail, many more miles as it loops round through the hills. 

Kjato Ragfoot: Let's rest for now, before we get lost in the dark.

Kjato Ragfoot: I vote river.

boredom3031: Me too, lets follow the river.

Smon: Jana. "I don't wish to spend a night out here... Bjornalf and Eardvulf, could you scout ahead, watch out for danger before we reach the river?"

boredom3031: Eard nods immediately, readying his axe. And sets off to do as Jana asked.

Kjato Ragfoot: The sooner we reach the river, the better.

Smon: GM: You head downhill, with no trail beyond rabbit-tracks the trek through the darkling woods is slow, with frequent pauses to reorient.

boredom3031: Eard visually scans the area to see if there's anything that needs slaughtered.

Smon: Make a perception check Eardvulf. 

boredom3031 rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,

Smon: Heading west downhill the trees clear a little, and you see ruins ahead, the remains of two ancient roofless stone buildings. To their right (north) is a low cliff atop which more moonlit ruins stand.

Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. On the one hand, ruins offer shelter. On the other hand, ruins harbour danger..

Smon: As you draw nearer the closer of the two vine-wrapped ruins at the base of the low cliff, Eardvulf's sharp eyes pick up movement from within...

Smon: The nearer ruin is little more now than two walls forming an L-shape, wrapped in vines.

boredom3031: Eard readies his axe, and approaches the direction the movement comes from.

Smon: With a shock, Eardvulf sees that the movement he detected comes from the vines themselves!

boredom3031: Oh shit. 

Smon: Slowly they rise up into the grotesque form of a great, semi-humanoid body, the legendary Shambling Mound!

boredom3031: Eard gets into stance with his axe. Waiting to see what the mound will do.

Smon: It lurches towards you... Actions? You're about 30' away.

Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will BLIGHT the creature, eager to test his newly learnt spell.

boredom3031: Eard sees it is is approaching, stepping back a bit. Giving Bjorn space.

Smon: OOC Zach your PC sheet here with Barb abilities - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/5egh-zach-pc-eardvulf-barbarian-of.html

Smon: As it lumbers towards you, Bjornalf casts Blight.

boredom3031: (Thank you simon.  )

Smon: The Mound saves with Disadvantage vs Blight...

boredom3031: (Noticed he sort of looks like a barbarian Danzig. lol)

Smon: /roll d20+3x2

Smon Rolls 1d20+3x2 and gets:

14 (+3) = 17

12 (+3) = 15

Smon: heh

boredom3031: Damn

Kjato Ragfoot: Still, 32 damage.

Smon: DC 15, so it resists, browning for a mere 32 dmg.

boredom3031: Eard rushes the mound next with his axe (next chance he gets)

Smon: Roll init

boredom3031 rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,

Smon: /roll d20-1

Smon rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 3, (-1) = 2

Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1, (+2) = 3 

boredom3031: Oops, used to 1E. lol

boredom3031 rolls 1d20 and gets: 4,

Smon: You both win, despite appalling rolls all round. 

Kjato Ragfoot: Wow, that must be a lot of stumbling in the dark...

boredom3031: lol

boredom3031: lol 

boredom3031 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 15, (+2) = 17 

Smon: Eardvulf can Rage and attack.

boredom3031: Will save my rage for now.

boredom3031 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 10, (+2) = 12 

Smon: (you have lots of Rage, save the Berserk though). 2 attacks at +7, both hit its AC 15

boredom3031:  

Smon: 31 dmg!

Smon: Bjornalf can act as it turns to grab the barbarian pruning it...

Kjato Ragfoot: I blight it again.

Kjato Ragfoot: "May the Water's grace forever leave you, foul monster!"

Smon: /roll d20+3x2

Smon Rolls 1d20+3x2 and gets:

11 (+3) = 14

17 (+3) = 20

Smon: yaaay 

boredom3031: Damn

Smon: DC 15, it fails by 1!

Kjato Ragfoot: You said it was DC 15, so it failed?

Kjato Ragfoot: Woohoo!

Smon: It takes 64 dmg, going all black and yucky

Kjato Ragfoot: Rot, shambler, rot!

boredom3031: Hell yeah 

Smon: The Blighted monster attacks Eardvulf...

Smon: /roll d20+7x2

Smon Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:

4 (+7) = 11

Smon: Eard fends off one 'arm', but is struck by the other.

Smon: /roll 2d8+4

Smon rolls 2d8+4 and gets: 8, 7, (+4) = 19 

boredom3031: Daaaaaamn

Smon: 19 dmg, halved by Rage though = 9 dmg

Smon: Your go

boredom3031 rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 1, (+7) = 8 

boredom3031: 

boredom3031 rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 8, (+7) = 15 

Smon: Behind you you hear the clumsy sounds of your approaching coterie.

Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf draws his weapon, gets close to the monster and tries to Cause Fear (with Fey presence) on the monster.

Smon: They emerge from the woods just in time to see Eardvulf hack through rotten greenery into the brute's central root-stem...

Smon: d10+6, roll high!

boredom3031 rolls 1d10+6 and gets: 8, (+6) = 14 

boredom3031: Not too shabby

Smon: As Eardvulf severs the root-stem the monster collapses, writhing. 

Smon: Lynette claps delightedly at the sight of her barbarian hero victorious. Hakeem's paladin wife Malenn nods. "Good work Eardvulf!"

Smon: The writhing swiftly stops, the Mound apparently dead.

boredom3031: Eard relaxes as he watches the mound die, turning his head to lynette, smirking. "Thank you, Dear." He replies.

Smon: /roll d20

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,

Kjato Ragfoot: (opportunist!)

boredom3031: (lol_

boredom3031: )

Smon: Bjornalf has heard that often these things return, unless burned out with fire.

Smon: Lynette smiles back and waves, Jana Vex rolls her eyes, surveying the ruins.

Kjato Ragfoot: Well. Let's make camp and use the remains as camp fire.

boredom3031: ( xD )

boredom3031: Eard nods to Kjato in agreement. 

Smon: The ruins below the cliff don't look as if they will give much shelter. Just north of the western ruin, in which a large tree grows, is a dark carved recess, possibly an entryway into the cliffs.

boredom3031: Bjorn

boredom3031: oops

Kjato Ragfoot: To Lynette: You have no idea how difficult it was to set this occasion up so perfectly that Eard kills the mound the exact moment you arrive!

Smon: Then you see that the dead Mound was lying on what appears to be an ancient trapdoor in the east ruin.

Smon: /roll d20

boredom3031: "No one need worry, I had it all under control." 

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 6,

Smon: Lynette seems unimpressed by Bjornalf's explanation. 

boredom3031: 

Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. A trap door. Maybe we can seek shelter in the cellar beneath.

Smon: The trap door shows signs of recent use, despite having been under the Mound. A brass ring to pull it up is visible.

boredom3031: I'd prefer up top. Eard replies. "We have space here in case anything is down there."

Kjato Ragfoot: Whispers to Eard: "Now, take advantage of it and get to know Lynette better"

Smon: Malenn: "Hmm, someone - or something - has raised this recently."

Smon: /roll d20

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 17,

boredom3031: Eard smirks to Bjorn and nods to him quietly, trying to not let the others in on what's being said.

Smon: Jana Vex: "Bratanis has been troubled recently by Hobgoblins... could this be their lair?"

Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will inspect the door more closely.

boredom3031: "Yeah lets rest up here in open space if we're going to rest."

Smon: The trap door is old and somewhat decreipt, clearly having been in the open for many years, but the hard wood is still largely intact.

Smon: /roll d20

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,

Kjato Ragfoot: If we make our camp fire right over the trap door, it is rather unlikely any hobgoblin is going to get out.

Smon: There are some dead leaves shed by the shambling mound scattered about.

boredom3031: "Yes, so better up here, rather than down in there."

Smon: Malenn nods. "We can start a fire with these dry leaves..."

Smon: GM: Jana nods reluctantly, you settle down to camp in the shelter of the L-shaped wall, setting a fire right over the trapdoor.

boredom3031: Eard will take first watch while the others rest.

Smon: You eat your dinner, throwing bits of Mound on the smokey fire. Then Hakeem and Rey go off to scout the nearby woods for dangers while Eardvulf stands guard.

boredom3031: Eard might try to strike up some convo with Lynette. 

Smon: Lynette comes over to Eardvulf with a come-hither look, while most of the others drift off to sleep. What is Bjornalf doing?

Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf is going to sleep.

Smon: Bjornalf drifts off to sleep, dreaming of the sea...

boredom3031: Eard smiles, doing as he is asked.

Smon: An hour later - the sounds of lovemaking drift across the sleeping camp as Eardvulf gets intimate with the buxom slave girl...

Smon: /roll d20

7:32pm  2015-8-28 Smon Has exited the room

7:32pm  2015-8-28 Smon Has entered the room

Smon: Smon: An hour later - the sounds of lovemaking drift across the sleeping camp as Eardvulf gets intimate with the buxom slave girl...

boredom3031: (Wb.  )

Smon: /roll d20

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 20,

Smon: lucky

boredom3031:  He should wake up quite happy. lol

Kjato Ragfoot: (What was that d20 roll for?=

Smon: Eardvulf might appear distracted by Lynette's ample charms, but his razor-sharp barbarian senses stand him in good stead as a twig cracks in the darkness east of the campfire light.

Smon: Someone is trying to sneak up on the camp...

Smon: More sounds - boots, trying to move silently in the darkness... several of them...

boredom3031: Eard whispers to the lady to get a safe distance, grabbing his axe, and he looks to the direction of the sound.

Smon: /roll d20

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 10,

boredom3031: Eard shouts to wake the others up as he approaches the sounds.

Smon: GM: Eardvulf tumbles off Lynette, grabbing his axe and yelling. Eight armoured forms emerge from the darkness, weapons drawn - Hobgoblins!

Smon: GM: Eardvulf is charging them?

boredom3031: Yeah

boredom3031: Double handing again.

Smon: ok, Eardvulf roll init

boredom3031 rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,

Smon: /roll d20+1

Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 19, (+1) = 20 

boredom3031: damn

Smon: The hobgoblins close formation and ready their blades as he attacks... 3 can attack, 2 regulars and their captain

Kjato Ragfoot: (Tell me when Bjornalf wakes)

Smon: (They Ready, You Rage & Charge, they attack then you)

Smon: Regulars:

Smon: /roll d20+3x2

Smon Rolls 1d20+3x2 and gets:

10 (+3) = 13

14 (+3) = 17

Smon: ouch

boredom3031: Damn

Smon: I'm going to use the default damage listings, so 12x2=24. halved for Rage = 12.

boredom3031: Thank you. 

Smon: You would have Short Rested already though so could have spent a healing die, roll d12+3

boredom3031 rolls 1d12+3 and gets: 7, (+3) = 10 

boredom3031: Nice

Smon: ok, you were at full, now 12 below

Smon: 27 dmg! The hobgob spits blood, yelling an order: "Kill this one!"

boredom3031: 

Smon: Bjornalf is awake and on his feet, Malenn also rises, drawing steel.

boredom3031: Eard replies "Try your best."

Smon: Bjornalf roll init.

Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 12, (+2) = 14 

Smon: Nearby in the darkness you hear Hakeem's battle cry - it seems he and Rey have found more enemies...

Smon: hobs on 20, so they go first.

Kjato Ragfoot: (Remember: I can see in the dark, at least for a short distance)

boredom3031: Eard thinks to himself "Cousin must have found some also."

Smon: The commander barks expert orders to his 'men', giving them all +2 to attacks & saves...

Smon: The slave girls scream and flee in fear.

boredom3031: (Time for another beer.  )

Smon: Malenn closes with two, two more charge Bjornalf while the leader and three more attack Eardvulf.

Smon: Two on Bjornalf:

Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalfs dissolves into mist and reappears (invisibly) on top of some ruined wall.

Smon: /roll d4+1

Smon rolls 1d4+1 and gets: 1, (+1) = 2 

Kjato Ragfoot: That would be the two that attacked me.

Kjato Ragfoot: "Show yourself, cowards!"

Smon: just 2 then, otherwise you'd catch Malenn & Eard too

Smon: brb

boredom3031: ok 

Smon: My son demanded I help him with his choice of mercenary hirelings in the Mentzer Expert blue book - chip off the old block. 

Smon: DEX saves for hobs

boredom3031: Bjorn

boredom3031: (eard killed all of those attacking Bjorn.  )

boredom3031: (Lynn should have seen eard on a roll tonight. lol  )

Smon: Nearby the sounds of fighting are dying down as Hakeem & Rey make short work of another 4 hobgoblins offscreen. 

Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. What a pity.

boredom3031: Eard cheers on his barbarian cousin quietly.

Smon: Lynette emerges from her hiding place to clap the blood-spattered Eardvulf: "Hurrah!" Even Malenn grins: "I'm glad we had a Barbarian with us tonight!"

Smon: Hakeem emerges from the darkness with a brace of hobgoblin heads: "Two barbarians!"

boredom3031: Eard smiles to both Lynette and Malenn, looking quite beat up even if he did do pretty damn well today.

Smon: Jana Vex returns with the other slave girls. "You are wounded. Allow me to succour you..."

Smon: OOC Stopping there tonight, need to get boy to bed.

boredom3031:  

Smon: (Well done, was looking dicey for a minute!)

boredom3031: Eard chooses to spend his night with Lyn.

Smon: I suddenly have audio again in the DF chatroom!
Smon: After a couple years!
Smon: Guess somebody updated something.
6:03pm  2015-8-21 Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Kjato.
6:03pm  2015-8-21 chris107 Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello!
Smon: oops lost chris!
Smon: test
Smon: You there kjato?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
Smon: Guess we wait for chris.
6:09pm  2015-8-21 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: Hello again chris.
chris107: I think I went....
Smon: Yup!
chris107: I was typing away merryly
chris107: I notice kalthalax is still on Hakeem's sheet. Should it be?
Smon: I've not edited the sheets - only got back to Internet-land last night!
chris107: Ah
chris107: How were the Highlands?
Smon: It was sunny now & then!
chris107: Dodgy connection tonight
Smon: My son took a ride on a quad bike at the Rhynie Gala and went flying when he tried to take a corner at speed while waving to the crowd. Luckily was unharmed.
chris107: Phew
Smon: I've scored through Demonslayer on H's sheet.
chris107: Thanks
chris107: It was fun while it lasted
Smon: @Kjato - so we did a 2-week time jump last time, the PCs are recently back to Selatine after completing mission in the north.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. What mission did we complete?
chris107: Chopping Demons into pieces.
Kjato Ragfoot: The one with the strange cult?
chris107: Yes Kjato
Smon: The K'tulu cult at Clear Meadows seems to have been wiped out by the Star Demons Hakeem released.
chris107: We released a whole load of demons into the dungeon.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. OK.
Kjato Ragfoot: What happened to the two strange elfs?
Smon: Negotiations have recovered the Ralluan women from Ahyf; Eldam Alamsor of Rallu is about to set sail back south with the rescued women.
chris107: They went looking for their own world
Smon: The elves bidded you farewell to seek a way home.
Smon: You still have the young druidess Cassandra Starling on board your ship, hiding from sight of Oriax.
Smon: & bonking young Polyakkus.
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. Right. We wanted to transport her to one of the islands, but she fell in love with Jana's acolyte.
Smon: yup
chris107: Ah yes
Kjato Ragfoot: Seems we need to find another asylum for her.
Smon: Jana Vex was seized by Oriax while you were at Clear Meadows in reprisal for the demise of his Orcs, and is now one of the wizard's chariot girls.
Smon: Her brother Lord Vex is quite vexed.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. She was to be betrohed to that southern merchant prince.
chris107: Hakeem is not pleased at this
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. I remember that we wanted to negotiate an alliance with the pirate town, against the warlord's horde?
chris107: He would have taken Kalthalax to the Horned One if he had known.
Kjato Ragfoot: Who was the Horned One?
chris107: Perhaps we should start making life difficult for Oriax?
chris107: Oriax the wizard who uses girls as ponies.
chris107: Any word from Graham?
Smon: >>Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. I remember that we wanted to negotiate an alliance with the pirate town, against the warlord's horde?<< The Warlord of Ahyf seems friendly, but the city has not joined the Lord's Alliance against Yusan.
Smon: Graham says should be on ca 7.30pm.
chris107:
chris107: Hakeem doesn't really get polotics but he sees the sense of building forces to fight Oriax
chris107: Yusan been a Sword Knight may be an idea?
Smon: Currently it's a couple days after Hakeem Rey & Eardvulf killed the 3 manticores, the Ralluan ship Hale & Hearty is about to set sail on the evening tide, watched by an assembled crowd.
Kjato Ragfoot: If I remember correctly, we have to return my lightning thrower and that anti-demon sword once we vanquished Oriax?
Smon: That's what you told their maker.
chris107: Kalthalax has been returned
Smon: But Hakeem returned the sword after sealing the demons in the dungeon.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. Then Bjornalf will have returned the lightning rod as well.
Smon: ok
chris107: Mmmmm hasty Hakeem
Smon: I'll start now while we wait.
Smon: GM: The docks of Selatine are red-lit in the evening sun, as Eldam Alamsor and his bevvy of rescued aristocrat ladies assemble for departure. Eldam approaches Kjato, offering a hand.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will take the hand.
Smon: (Bjornalf I mean)  "My friend Bjornalf, we owe you more than I can repay."
Smon: The demurely dressed ex-captives smile and simper at the handsome Skandik.
Smon: Eldam continues: "The pirate Tsamar has been justly tried by Lord Vex and executed for her crimes. No longer will she prey upon the sea-lanes. My cousin and her friends are saved. Rallu will always have a welcome for you."
Kjato Ragfoot: Eldam, I am happy I could take part in this little adventure.
Kjato Ragfoot: You return home a hero, and I will be a hero for fighting on your side.
Kjato Ragfoot: There will be songs sung for our deeds, and your and my children will toast on that memories one day.
Smon: Eldam smiles and nods: "Well said, friend." His cousin Lady Lucretia speaks up: "I trust my handmaid Alli is serving you satisfactorily, Lord Bjornalf?"
Kjato Ragfoot: But, first things first - we need to rescue Jana, so that you can have those children in the first place!
Smon: Eldam looks uncertain at the mention of Jana Vex, and rubs his nose. "Yes, well... we must be going ere the tide turns. Come, Lucretia. Rallu is far."
Kjato Ragfoot: (Hehehe)
Kjato Ragfoot: (I think Rey bought Ally?)
Smon: Lucretia: "Good luck with your quest to free Jana from that foul brute, Lord Bjornalf. Fare well..." (yup Rey took her off your hands) ...Lucretia leans forward and kisses Bjornalf's cheek, then the Ralluans turn to ascend the gangplank.
Smon: Lord Vex steps forward to bid Eldam and co a warm farewell, then the great ship casts off, catches the swell and soon sweeps away, white sails full.
Smon: Once the Hale & Hearty is out of earshot, Lord Vex turns to Bjornalf, face taught. "Be wary of Oriax, Captain. Do not bring more disaster upon Selatine."
chris107: H spits and makes the sign to ward off evil at the mention of Oriax
Kjato Ragfoot: I never intend to bring disaster anywhere.
Kjato Ragfoot: Yet, sometimes, it follows in my footsteps.
Kjato Ragfoot: Regardless. We should do things that strengthes Selantine now.
Kjato Ragfoot: Before rescuing your sister.
Smon: Hytirus nods, looking out to sea after the departing ship. "You have something in mind?"
Smon: Hytirus' lover, the Nerathi priestess Chelarre Foxwood, steps forward, taking Hytirus' arm and nestling in close to him against the evening chill.
chris107: (H doesn't trust her as far as he could throw her)
Kjato Ragfoot: (Well, you could throw her quite far!)
Smon: Chelarre: "The Altanian Yusan is the danger. When the dry season comes, he will strike."
chris107: (H doesn't trust the Nerathi in general)
Kjato Ragfoot: Then we should speak with his enemies to make them our allies, and then strike at him before he is ready.
Smon: Hytirus lets his left hand rest on Chelarre's pale breast, turning to her with a slight smile: "If he comes this way, the Lord's Alliance will be ready for him. With any aid Nerath can provide."
Smon: Hytirus nods to Bjornalf. "Of the nearby Lords, only Lady Aeschela of Bratanis has declined the Alliance - Yusan holds her sister Thuvia captive."
Smon: GM - the following Lords are not part of the Alliance: Other Tower of Oriax (Fortress, Orcs & Outworld Slave Girls): Oriax the Lecherous, Archmage Bratanis (Ghinoran): Aeschela Ahyf (Town, Ghinoran/Antillian): Briaron (selected) & the Council of Elders Clear Meadows (vassal to Ahyf, Nerathi/Ghinoran): Temple of St Irig Sceros (vassal to Ahyf, Ghinoran): Lord Arkonos Thusia (Ghinoran/Amazon/Outworld): Lady Meda, Amazon Sorceress Temple-Tomb of Belaras (Temple Fortress, Ghinoran): High Priest Larsonos of Apollo-Mitra
Kjato Ragfoot: Amazon Sorceress temple sounds like the ideal place for Rey to visit!
Smon: OOC Any of those possible recruitment targets? Hakeem & Malenn have had dealings with the Temple of Apollo-Mitra, and the Amazons of Thuvia.
chris107: H "Lady Meda would be a powerful ally."
Smon:
Smon: Lord Vex rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Bring Lady Meda into the Alliance and you will be greatly rewarded."
chris107: H will let Malenn do the talking, he's not very good at this stuff
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, we can but try.
chris107: But he tries a few words to Lord Vex
chris107: "Our child was blessed by Lady Meda, she is a wise woman. We will be happy to speak with her on your behalf. Oriax and the Sword Knight must be checked."
Smon: Vex nods thoughtfully. "Hakeem. Bjornalf. Walk with me."
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornals will do as asked.
Smon: He gestures for Hakeem and Bjornalf to accompany him along the quayside - away from Chelarre.
chris107: same
Smon: Lord Vex looks south, after the departing ship. "Oriax has long valued Selatine as a slave market. He has helped deter Yusan's wolves from attack. If he falls..."
Kjato Ragfoot: ... he will need to be replaced, by someone of equal or greater power.
chris107: "Lord Vex. We can not rely on one devil to deter another."
6:59pm  2015-8-21 Amalric Has entered the room
chris107: Hey Graham
Amalric: evening Chris!
Smon: Vex smiles. "I am inclined to agree with Bjornalf, Hakeem... ah, Lord Reynard approaches!"
Smon:
Smon: GM: Bjornalf & Hakeem are chatting with Lord Vex on the Selatine docks as the Ralluan ship sails off into the sunset, sort of.
Kjato Ragfoot: Also, we have a druid that seeks shelter. Perhaps there are other priests of natur around that would make good allies?
chris107: "Those are wise words indeed Bjorn."
Smon: Vex: "Nature priests? Wild hill hermits, you'll find them hither and yon. Most worship Artemis, called Melora by the Nerathi."
Smon: As Lord Reynard approaches (having torn himself at last from the attractions of his harem) down to the quayside, he sees a disgruntled looking Priestess Chelarre standing alone, her lover Lord Vex talking to Hakeem & Bjornalf.
Amalric: "Evening gentlemen, Lord Vex. How are we all this evening?"
Smon: Vex: "The followers of Melora hate Yusan for taking the Citadel of Water, one of her sacred Citadels, for his own."
chris107: "Rey."
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. My mistress is angered by that sacrilige as well.
Smon: Vex nods and smiles to Rey. "Well, thank you, considering what Oriax the Goat has done to my sister! At least the Ralluans are safely on their way."
chris107: "So we have lady Meda and the Hill Hermits who may be allies?"
Smon: Vex nods to Bjornalf. "The warrior-monk Kane believes your Queen of Ocean is an Aspect of his Melora. I cannot say, and do not much care."
chris107: "How do Oriax and Yusan get their power? What can we do to cut that off? How can we hurt them?"
Smon: Vex nods to Hakeem. "Meda and her Amazon Guard would be useful allies."
Kjato Ragfoot: The hill hermits could make good scouts, warning us in advance of Yusan and allowing us time to prepare.
Smon: Vex shrugs to Hakeem. "I am no Mage. Perhaps you should ask Meda."
Smon: Vex yawns - he is someone easily bored - as the ship slowly disappears into the gathering dusk.
Kjato Ragfoot: I am sure we will figure something out. But we should return to the hall, before we draw suspicion.
Smon: Vex: "Yusan's power lies in the army of brigands he commands."
chris107: Hakeem too. He's thinking about collecting more gold for his son to be
Smon: Vex nods, beckons Chelarre to join you, and invites you all to his Hall for the evening's feast.
chris107: "haha brigands?! They will fall as wheat before our blades"
Smon: GM: Any plans for the next day? Dungeon-delving or more emissary work?
chris107: Dungeon delving!
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, in that case we need a dungeon to delve into!
Smon: Dyson's Delve & Thracia are close at hand.
chris107: Dyson's Delve has proved most lucarative in the past.
Kjato Ragfoot: But it is close to Oriax who is extremely angry at us.
Amalric: eeny meeny miney mo
chris107: "Bah I'll lift the old goat's head!"
Amalric: the Delve then?
chris107: "Should have done it while I held Demonslayer."
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, Oriax might punish Jana if we anger him more. So we should be careful.
chris107: "The Delve. I have a child to support. I need the cash."
Amalric: "I have a harem to support, I also need the cash."
Kjato Ragfoot: Very well. The delve it is then.
Smon: LOL
chris107: H goes to sharpen his greatsword.
Smon: GM: Morning, 8/2/4446 BCCC. After a hard night's drinking, three heroes sharpen their weapons and prepare to depart.
Smon: Malenn kisses Hakeem farewell. "Be careful! And bring back lots of gold." She smiles.
Kjato Ragfoot: (Oh. Can I send my ship with Cassandra to the island with the Neptune statue as planned? I would hate see her taken in our absence by Oriax)
chris107: "Haha! Look after our boy!"
Smon: Bjornalf's housekeeper cooks him a hearty breakfast, while Rey has a final roll with Lucy, Alicia, Cirella & co.
Amalric: it's a hard life, but someone has to live it
Smon: Bjornalf meets with Happy Iocunnu, who agrees to sail Cassandra & Callyachus out to the Neptune-statued Isle of Ogigian.
chris107: "Good luck Cassy & Cally!"
Kjato Ragfoot: (He and the sailors are free to trade with the merfolk on the way)
Smon: Cassandra smiles gratefully to Hakeem, and blows him a kiss. Callyakkus looks nervous, but smiles too. "We'll be ok. Come and visit us!"
chris107: "We'll bring the child!"
Kjato Ragfoot: We will. Have a good and Oriax free time!
Smon: Cassandra nods to Hakeem & Bjornalf, smiling. Bjornalf's ship casts off on the morning tide, heading east towards the rising sun.
chris107: "Now. Shall we go get rich?"
Amalric: Rey yawns and scratches his nuts
Kjato Ragfoot: Sure.
Smon: GM: You rendezvous at the west gate and take the trail SW on the 3-hour walk to Dyson's Delve...

Smon: They scream, burning.

Kjato Ragfoot: Let's leave before Oriax notices us. He seems to be preoccupied with the gnolls for now."
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf tries to hide somewhere.
chris107: H looks for stones and rocks that he can chuck at the wizard
Smon: There are trees and plenty of undergrowth to hide.

Amalric: (and there;s nothing wrong with that in Rey's mind!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf also has a healing potion, somewhere.
chris107: d3?
Smon: Oriax yells in pain or annoyance as the rock bounces off his horned pate.
Kjato Ragfoot: No, a real healing potion.
Amalric: tell us it ruins his fly spell, and he falls to his death...
chris107:
chris107: That would be nice!
Amalric: be a classic D&D end to a hugely powerful wizard!
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. And I have a scroll of "Protection from Magic".
Smon: d4 looks like.
chris107 rolls 1d4+4 and gets: 2, (+4) = 6
chris107: "Come on you old bastard!"
chris107: "Fight like a man!"
chris107: "Bondorr help your servant now!"
Amalric: Rey retreats further into the trees
Smon: Hovering above Hakeem, Oriax looks down in annoyance, though he doesn't seem much injured. "Oi! That hurt!"
chris107: "Good your bloody fireball smarted a bit too!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. Suck it. Dispel Magic on Oriax.
Kjato Ragfoot: I simply want to see that smug wizard being trashed by barbarian fists.
chris107: H makes sure he has another rock or three to hand
chris107: Go for it Kjato! Good luck!
Smon: Oriax starts to cast again as Rey retreats out of harm's way. In the distance Rey spots Oriax's chariot with its bevy of shackled beauties.
chris107: (Rey's throwing daggers would help too)
Smon: Bjornalf casts Dispel Magic.
chris107: Hurl rock to spoil his spell
Kjato Ragfoot: Moment! The misty escape is a reaction, I think I can still act this round?
chris107: Using his advantage on initiative and raging to cause extra damage
Smon: What level does B cast at?
Kjato Ragfoot: Third (Highest level he can)
Kjato Ragfoot: (Unless I leveled while I was absent, then fourth)
Amalric: LOL might be a 15% chance
Smon: ok, Oriax's Fly goes off, roll DC 14 spellcasting check to dispel his Stoneskin.
chris107: (I think you did level Kjato)
chris107: Throw your blinking daggers at him Rey!
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 9, (+4) = 13
chris107: aarrrgghhhh so close!
Smon: (only Rey levelled)
Smon: Oriax plummets 20' to the ground in front of an angry Hakeem.
Smon: /roll 2d6
Smon rolls 2d6 and gets: 4, 2, = 6
Smon: 3 dmg.
chris107: Hakeem pounces
Smon: Hakeem pounces...
Kjato Ragfoot: Wrestle him, so that he cannot cast spells!
chris107: battering him with the rock in his hand and berserking
chris107: using reckless attacks
Smon: You have advtg anyway as he's prone
chris107 Rolls 1d20+7x3 and gets:
6 (+7) = 13
12 (+7) = 19
11 (+7) = 18
Smon: You can go berserk & make 2 attacks this round.
Smon: Couldn't Rage before as not in melee - would have ended.
chris107: Okay. Can I have the last 2?
Smon: 13 & 19, 1 hit, Roll 1 more - 18 & ?
Smon: AC 15 w Mage Armour
chris107 rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 13, (+7) = 20
chris107: 2 hits?
Kjato Ragfoot: His mage armour should be gone?
chris107 rolls 2d4+8 and gets: 4, 2, (+8) = 14
Smon: good point, AC 12 then
Smon: Oriax takes 7 dmg. Bleeding from the nose, he speaks a word of power and vanishes with a POP of air.
chris107: Darn!
Smon: Bjornalf recognises the POP as the sign of a D-Door or Teleport spell.
chris107: Thought that would have spoiled his spell!
Kjato Ragfoot: In that case, his fireball would have ruined my dispel spell as well.
Kjato Ragfoot: "He will have fled to his chariot, over there!"
chris107: Hehe at least we've given the bugger a bloody nose
Amalric: can Rey see the chariot from the trees?
chris107: H races towards the chariot, stone in habnd
Smon: (very hard to ruin a spell in 5e)
chris107:
Smon: Rey sees the chariot in a small clearing, Jana and three other girls shackled to it.
Smon: (H has not seen it )
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
chris107: (Okay)
Smon: (nor has Bjornalf)
chris107: brb 2 mins
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, now we have to defeat Oriax once and for all, otherwise he will burn Selantine to the ground.
Smon: back
chris107: back
Amalric: back
chris107: Yes I agree Kjato
Amalric: is Oriax upon the chariot?
Smon: Nope
Amalric: I had a cunning plan, wish I'd acted on it
Amalric: oh!
Amalric: is he anywhere to be seen?
Smon: nope
Amalric: Rey waits a moment, just in case
chris107: We can not pussy foot around Oriax any more
Amalric: then he runs for the chariot
Smon: Rey sees no sign of Oriax, Jana and the other girls gasp as he breaks cover and runs to them.
Smon: Jana: "Rey!"
Amalric: hope he's not invisible
Amalric: who are the other girls again? nobodies?
Smon: You don't recognise them.
Smon: All shapely and beautiful, of course.
Amalric: torn between taking his new toy for a ride, and rescuing these poor girls, Rey reluctantly opts for the latter
Smon: lol
Amalric: if Jana wasn't one of them he'd definitely be taking it for a spin
chris107: do both
Amalric: i'm not sure they'd forgive me
Amalric: nor Lord Vex, for that matter
chris107: hehe
Amalric: although it may be the quickest route back to town!
Smon: Jana: "Save us!" GM: Rey frees the naked pony girls from the chariot?
Smon: (good point re speed) >:)
Amalric: yes, yes he does
Amalric: Lucy was a chariot girl, wasn't she?
chris107: "We must get back and make sure Malenn and the child are safe!"
Amalric: can H destroy the chariot?
Smon: previously Lucy was a chariot girl yup
Smon: The ramshead chariot looks pretty sturdy, and obviously enchanted.
Amalric: thought as much, purchased from Oriax
Smon: You can attack it if you like
Amalric: "We should take this back with us."
Amalric: so lets take it
chris107: agreed
Smon: how?
Kjato Ragfoot: Can we unshackle the girls?
Amalric: well either H and B pull it along, or...the girls
Smon: Yes, Rey unshackles the girls, Bjornalf assisting.
Smon: When this is done the chariot seems very heavy and disinclined to go anywhere.
Amalric: smash it up then
Amalric: Oriax will likely come back for it
Smon: Jana: "It moves by magic... It needs... pullers..."
chris107: Lady Vex, girls, we need you to bare this load one more time. For Selatine and your liberty
Smon: heh
Smon: Hakeem CHA check, no Prof bonus
chris107: "I would not ask if it were not desperate."
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 4, (+2) = 6
chris107: bugger
Smon: Jana: "Never! Destroy it!" Her eyes flash angrily.
Smon: 1 in 6 the orcs arrive...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: not yet
Amalric: "Come on. Hakeem, if you can smash it up, do so...but we need to return to Selatine, with haste."
chris107: Set fire to the bloody thing then. But we must save Salatine from Oriax
Smon: (finishing ca 9.30pm I reckon)
Amalric: "Ladies, come with me. I shall see to it that you never suffer like this again."
Smon: CHA check for Rey, can add Prof
Amalric rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 18, (+3) = 21
Amalric:
Smon: LOL, he never fails
Amalric: like flies on shit
chris107:
Smon: The three unknown girls nod eagerly, Jana: "Yes, let us return to Selatine."
Smon: GM: You head north - leave the chariot?
Amalric: yes
Smon: /roll d12
chris107: or burn it
Smon rolls 1d12 and gets: 6,
chris107: if we can
Smon: It's the rainy season, the undergrowth is wet and only smoked a bit from the fireballs.
Smon: If you have fire magic you might be able to burn it
chris107: Hakeem is all out of fire magic
Kjato Ragfoot: I am a water warlock, I have no fire magic whatsoever.
chris107: Then lets just leave it and get to Selatine.
Kjato Ragfoot: I could try to shatter it.
chris107: H puts a number of throwing rocks in his pouch. Just in case.
Kjato Ragfoot: Shatter works better against inorganic material than against organic material - it could work. But then I would be out of spells till the next rest.
Smon: The chariot is wood w some metal.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Won't work then.
chris107: To Selatine!
Smon: GM: You return with Jana & co to Selatine, arriving just after lunch. Alerted by the lookout, Lord Vex meets you at the gate. He nods curtly to his sister, then turns to the adventurers.
Smon: "What happened this time?"
chris107: Oriax lost some blood
chris107: he would have lost more
Kjato Ragfoot: Oriax appeared out of the blue and attacked us with a fireball!
Kjato Ragfoot: He almost burnt us to crisp.
Kjato Ragfoot: Completely unprovoked, I have to add.
chris107: (H is toying with the idea of trying to get Malenn and child out to the islands with Cassie Starling)
Smon: Vex sighs. "He's alive? And you wounded him?"
Smon: OOC pity you just sent the boat away!
chris107: (Or at least to the Amazons to keep them safe)
Amalric: LOL
Smon: Hytirus: "Get Jana out of here - get her to Lady Meda, perhaps - she gives home to waifs and strays. Don't let Oriax find you here."
Smon: OOC you have REALLY bad luck on those wandering monster checks!
Amalric: Lady Meda?
chris107: "Lord Vex, Oriax bleeds like any other man."
chris107: "Lady Meda is a friend."
Smon: Jana: "Meda? The Amazon of Thusia?"
chris107: "She has some prophesy regarding my child. Malenn should come with us."
Amalric: "Are we all going? I better get my girls..."
Smon: Vex: "Bleeds - but not enough, it seems. He has already promised revenge should any more orcs perish. He won't forgive this... Yes, take your wife. Rey, I fear you had better take your harem also."
Amalric: seems legit
chris107: Take a short rest to use healing dice first?
Smon: OOC: 'Fleeing from the Oriax tyranny, a ragtag band of adventurers and harem girls seek a shining sanctuary known as - Thusia!'
Smon: GM: You can take a short rest.
Smon: As you assemble to depart Selatine an hour later with Rey's bewildered harem in tow, think I'll stop shortly.
chris107 rolls 4d12+16 and gets: 7, 9, 2, 7, (+16) = 41
chris107: Bck to full
Smon: Quickest route to Thusia is Thracia-Bratanis-SkyGod Idol & through the hills -https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFCG1oAJwFOGbYkrEhYfj7jyzNTItL8vU8Etg7GEL2k71t9JAdxmXtb2jaHPeBMkcFyRj6t8yAGmJZYSTVSYMhTBk3BGcmcryUF37ffHzHc3D-8mtvfu90vGJfbwdPM2o1JhOAvGIduHA/s640/Ghinarian+Hills.jpg
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFCG1oAJwFOGbYkrEhYfj7jyzNTItL8vU8Etg7GEL2k71t9JAdxmXtb2jaHPeBMkcFyRj6t8yAGmJZYSTVSYMhTBk3BGcmcryUF37ffHzHc3D-8mtvfu90vGJfbwdPM2o1JhOAvGIduHA/s640/Ghinarian+Hills.jpg
Smon: The central Ghinarian Hills are wild and largely trackless, roamed by hyenas and other fell beasts.
Smon: Oh well, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
Smon: I'll post log.

Amalric: yeah whats the worst that could happen now?
chris107: Cool. Thanks for the game. Good to be back
Smon: Good to be remembering stuff
Amalric: always nice!
Amalric: thanks for the game
chris107: Next week I'm away on holiday
Kjato Ragfoot: Thrilling as always.
chris107: Lady Meda will be so pleased to see us
chris107: With an angry Arch-Mage hot on our heels
Amalric: what the worst that could happen?
Kjato Ragfoot: Selentine burnt down, all women in Selantine enslaved by Oriax, all men killed.
chris107: It was good to finally get some of oriax' blood on H's hands
Amalric: thats bad?
Kjato Ragfoot: That means: My house gets burnt down.
chris107: Hope you both have home insurance
Amalric: you can build a new house
Amalric: I like mine too, but hey gotta keep the girls
Smon: I guess next week Hakeem & Malenn will be guarding the rear.

Session 30 19/1/-5/2/4446 BCCC Resume

Going to have to retcon (sorry for screwup, very rusty indeed!) - looking at the blog, it looks to me you had already rescued Sister Tamara from the cultists in the town jail previously, therefore the girl you rescued from the cultists in the caves would indeed have been Amari, Synjyn's daughter. So, er, well done.  :lol:

Guess it must have all been an illusion...

Update - girl found dead in the central hall 19/1/46 was Tammy of Hill Farm.

+5000 XP all PCs (for Sessions 29 & 30)

Hakeem, Barbarian LEVEL 7 XP 25467+5000=30467/34000

Rey Rogue LEVEL 7 XP 23265+700=23,965/34000
Eardvulf LEVEL 5 XP 700+11500=12,200/14000


19/1-20/1/4446 End of Liberation of the Demon Slayer - demons killed High Priest Seelah of K'tulu and freed their comrades to rampage through the endless dungeon.

4/2/4446: PCs back in Selatine. Approached by Aya.
5/2/4446: Manticore hunt.

Smon: Should we try to continue from where we left off or do a time-jump, do you think?
chris107: I wanted to leave and let the demons/cultists fight it out then get stuck back in.
Smon: >>chris107: "Maybe take the gems and let the demons loose on the temple?" boredom3031: "Sounds like a plan" chris107: While we use the circle to make ourselves scarse?" chris107: Rest and heal, give them an hour or two then come mop up what's left?" Smon: Thadeus nods. boredom3031: Eard nods to H, quite liking his plan. chris107: H has had an idea Smon: Malenn: "We better guard the portal though, in case the demons head for the surface." chris107: Rey, Bjo? Amalric: Rey wishes Thadeus thought of that earlier... Smon: /roll d20+3 chris107: "We can watch it from above. Shut the door and bar it from within?" Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 1616, (+3) = 19 Smon: Malenn: "...But what if Tammy is still alive down here?" chris107: "Bugger" Smon: Glevina: "Oh, don't be a silly-billy spoilsport Malenn! I'm sure she's been horribly murdered already!" boredom3031: Eard cannot help but laugh. xD chris107: A bit of a moral dilema... Kjato Ragfoot: Glevina, I doubt that. chris107: Not really H's strong point. Kjato Ragfoot: The cultists use females to breed more demons. Kjato Ragfoot: Dead females are not very good at breeding. Smon: GM: ok well you can ponder it, it's 10pm & I'm posting log & xp later.<<
boredom3031: Wonder where kjato is
chris107: Mmmmm
chris107: Not seen him about for ages.
chris107: Graham said he would be here.
boredom3031: I'll go with whatever chris prefers.
chris107: Simon: Do you have a note of Hakeem's HP etc?
chris107: (Current that is)
chris107: Hakeem would normally damn the torpedoes and smash into the demons. But now he has the little one to think off....
Smon: Doesn't look like I have anything, I also see it looks like I never did XP for the last session.
chris107: I just assumed that we'd get XP if we survived this one
Smon: Session 28 has XP, but none for Session 29, the last one.
chris107: When we ruptured the demon dysts?
chris107: and killed the blue lion
Smon: yes
chris107: Hakeem roars a challange to the demons!
chris107: (he tells malenn in no uncertain terms that she must flee with their unborn child if things look bad)
chris107: I think H had used at 2 of his rages. And is probably about half HP
chris107: still here?
boredom3031: (Yeah trying to think of what exactly to do and find my character on the forum :P)
Smon: Hakeem - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-chris-pc.html
chris107: H asks Bondorr for guidence
Smon: Eardvulf - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/5egh-zach-pc-eardvulf-barbarian-of.html
boredom3031: Ah there, forgot about the blog.
chris107: How would the Sword God feel about H letting the demons/cultists fight it out?
Smon: Hakeem gets the feeling he should take a quick search of the vicinity before releasing the demons and retreating...
chris107: Against taking Kalthalax and fighting to the bitter end?
chris107:
Smon: Bondorr is ok with choosing winnable battles.
chris107: Then he does just that. Calling on the elves to help.
boredom3031: Thank you simon.
Smon: GM: Inspired by Bondorr, Hakeem leads the group out of the demon cyst chamber, back west past the portal chamber of the blue lion.
chris107: "Then we search for the priest's daughter."
boredom3031: Eard readies is weapon. Watching to see what everyone else does before rushing in.
chris107: "Malenn, stay close but get our child to safety regardless of what happens."
boredom3031: Eard nods in agreement with H.
Smon: The long tunnel turns north and splits at a T-junction, looking east you see it ends in a door - from beyond comes a muffled scream that sounds like Sister Tamara!
6:32pm  2015-8-12 Oculus Orbus Has entered the room
Smon: Malenn nods grimly to her husband, sword ready.
chris107: Hi Occles
Oculus Orbus: (hello)
Smon: hi Oc
chris107: Hakeem growls and sprints towards the door. Kalthalax in hand.
boredom3031: Eard sprints as well axe in both hands.
Oculus Orbus: S'
chris107: He will kick it open with all his strength.
boredom3031: Eard lets H try to kick it open, raising his axe a bit in both hands.
Smon: GM: Hakeem kicks open the door, Eardvulf beside him, the others behind.
chris107:
boredom3031: Eard stays beside H, covering for him in case anything is very near the door.
chris107: He summons his RAGE (3rd timne today?)
Smon: Tamara is hanging naked from the ceiling of a large square chamber, her feet a few inches from the floor, wrists bound with black silk to the metal ceiling ring.
Smon: Several masked K'tulu priests watch her struggle, one holding a small ornate iron box, just opened, in which a large maggot squirms...
chris107: H pounces on them like a tiger!
chris107: Hacking anbd slashing with Kalthalax
boredom3031: Eard rushes in the room with his axe in both hands attacking at the nearest one.
Smon: The aberrant priests turn as you charge in, drawing their blades. Your companions engage those to the flanks while Hakeem & Eardvulf attack the three nearest Tamara...
Smon: I'll say you auto win init so roll to hit
chris107: ""Malenn! Get Tamara out of here!"
boredom3031:

boredom3031: "Lets get her out of here." Eard says to H.
chris107: HACK HACK, SLASH SLASH!
Oculus Orbus: Miasma of Blood starring Toshiro Mifune
Smon: In moments Glevina, Thadeus & co have slaughtered the rest of the cultists, while Malenn cuts Tamara down and frees her gagged mouth, supporting her.
Smon: Tamara coughs, leaning weakly on Malenn.
chris107: "Let's get her to safety!"
chris107: Head back through the blue lion room?
boredom3031: Eard nods letting the women go ahead of him to get out of there.
Smon: Malenn nods and helps Tamara out - you're exiting via the portal & setting the demons free?
chris107: mmmm
Smon: Rem one demon already escaped.
Oculus Orbus: gotta run, gents. have fun.
Smon: bye
chris107: see you occs
6:53pm  2015-8-12 Oculus Orbus Has exited the room
chris107: Can H/Kalthalax sense if the demon is close to hand?
Smon: Kalthalax speaks, in the voice of its maker: "Hmm... Demonic contagion is all about us, dimming any signal..."
chris107: "I think our first duty is to get Tamara home safely. We will come and cleanse this foul brood later."
Smon: The sword is glowing faintly ruby-red after slaying the cultists, and seems happy.
chris107: H leads the way to the portal.
boredom3031: "Agreed" Eard says.
boredom3031: Eard follows H to the portal
chris107: He will slay any demon or cultist in his way.
boredom3031: And Eard will help him.
chris107: Yay!
Smon: GM: You return to the portal chamber, enter the glowing circle and are transported back to the upper levels, from whence you return to the surface.
boredom3031:
chris107: "Malenn, can you help Tamara? perhaps heal some of her hurts?"
Smon: As you are exiting, Kalthalax speaks: "The demon cysts are hatching - the last demon must have freed his brethren..."
Smon: Malenn Lays On Hands to Tamara, healing her abrasions and trauma, she seems more comfortable.
chris107: "Kalthalax, I swear we will come back and deal with these foul demons very soon. But for now we must get this poor girl to safety."
Smon: "Very well."
boredom3031: Eard watches H and the others to see what they wish to do.
chris107: Head back to tamara's father.
chris107: (Kalthalax has drunk much Demon blood this day)
boredom3031: Eard follows behind H.
Smon: GM: (Going to do roundup now). Your party return safely to Clear Meadows with the rescued priestess Tamara (who is not the daughter of Father Synjyn).
Smon: Hakeem realises there were two missing girls.
7:00pm  2015-8-12 Amalric Has entered the room
chris107: (Oh   )
Smon: Hi G
chris107: Hi Graham!
boredom3031: (Heya graham.)
Amalric: hey chaps, sorry for the tardiness
Amalric: i did a Bochi!
chris107: (No one claimed H was big on brains  )
boredom3031: (Neither is Eard) xD
Smon: (Hi Graham) I'm going to do a roundup post now, want to finish this off.
chris107: We're out safe Graham. But the demons are loose!
Amalric: figures, they get everywhere
chris107: I'll grab a glass of wine then 2 mins
Smon: GM: After rescuing Tamara from the cultists, returning to Clear Meadows and resting overnight, you return to the caverns next day, to find that the Cultists' lair is a scene of unspeakable carnage.
Smon: Dozens of mutilated cultist corpses lie scattered through the complex.
boredom3031: (Damn)
Smon: In a great central chamber you find the scene of the final battle, where the Arch-Priest of K'tulu himself engaged the shaggy demons.
Smon: Some kind of massive Polyp creature is scattered in parts throughout the chamber, along with the remains of several of the star-demons, and many many cultists... but no sign of life.
Smon: 3 in 6 they killed the high priest...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 22,
boredom3031: hmmm
Amalric: nice
Smon: Yes, underneath the body of a huge star-demon, impaled by a great sword to match Kalthalax, is the imposing armoured figure of a High Priest of Dread K'tulu in his heavy black chain armour, now rent and torn.
chris107: Any sign of the other girl?
chris107: H spits on the body of the ex-high priest.
chris107: (OOC there may be lots of loot here!  )
Amalric: is the greatsword the same as H's, but evil? or what?
Smon: He wears an emerald sash and a black jade ring. The sword was clearly once a Holy Avenger of Mitra, corrupted by unspeakable runes.
boredom3031: As does Eard. Looking around his surroundings.
Smon: 1 in 6 chance the girl survived...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 33,
chris107: (Anyone detect evil/magic?)
chris107:
chris107: H is sad for the girl.
chris107: Is there any sign that Demons survived/escaped?
Smon: no, unsurprising as she was strapped before the Shoggoth-thing when the demons burst in, Amari's body lies under part of the Polyp-demon.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 11,
boredom3031: Eard sigs and looks around the room for anything of value.
boredom3031: *sighs
Smon: It looks as if four demons fell here, two are missing.
chris107: "Take the ring and sash. Then lets hunt these two bastards down."
Smon: Eardvulf picks up a shining enchanted scimitar, some kind of fire-rune wand, and a ring of protection from the dead priests.
chris107: (H wonders if the corrupted holy avenger can in any way be put to rest...?)
Smon: The priests also have fat pouches of gold, 1117gp on all.
chris107:
chris107: Nice haul
boredom3031: Nice!
Smon: Kalthalax "Allow me to destroy that wretched blade. Lay her flat between two risers, then strike hard."
boredom3031: Eard decides to keep the scimitar.
chris107: Hakeem does so.
chris107: Striking with all the rage of the Sword God at this abberation.
Smon: Glevina IDs the items as a +1 scimitar, wand of fireballs (she can use that)  and a +1 ring of protection.
boredom3031: Nice.
chris107: Excellent.
boredom3031: Eard slides the ring on. And he decides to give Glevina the wand.
Smon: 13 exits lead off the central hall - two of them to chambers filled with newly-hatched demon cocoons...
Smon: Kalthalax: "Hmmm."
chris107: Total number loose?
Smon: 24+2 = 26?
Amalric: I didnt want any magic items anyway...
chris107: H ignores the treasures. Only wanting to free the avenger from it's torment and hunt demons.
chris107: (Hehe  )
boredom3031: (What class is your character graham?)
chris107: "Let's go kill us some demons!"
Smon: Kalthalax: "The demon horde is too many to fight now. I suggest we return to the surface, close the portal and seal these caves as best you can."
Amalric: Rogue
boredom3031: (Can he use the scimitar?_
chris107: (@ Simon: Are HP/rages etc. all back to full?)
boredom3031: (If not I'll have eard give you the ring.)
Smon: Glevina smiles coquettishly at Eardvulf. "Thanks for the wand!"
boredom3031: Eard nods in reply with a smirk.
Smon: (yeah, you'd be at full hp but half healing dice)
chris107: "Kalthalax, I swore to return you when the demon menace was destroyed. Can we just seal them up and ignore it?"
chris107: (Thanks)
Amalric: (no idea if Rogues can use the scimitar)
boredom3031: (I'll give you the ring anyway, just in case.)
boredom3031: Eard hands off the ring to the rogue, and looks at the new scimitar.
Smon: GM: I put the ring & scimitar on Eardvulf, scimitar is a finesse weapon (can use DEX) a. +1 Scimitar ATT+8 dam 1d6+7, 1d6+5 not raging.
Smon: ring gives +1 AC, Eardvulf gives it to Rey?
boredom3031: Yeah give the ring to Rey.
Amalric: well Rey could use the scimitar? instead of his rapier?
boredom3031: Can he? If he can use the scimitar I will give him that instead.
Amalric: although using a rapier fits better with his noble demeanour
boredom3031: (I hate only having the basic books.  )
Smon: GM: I want to move on now - can say Kalthalax destroys the unholy avenger, you return to the surface, Glevina & Kalthalax close the teleportal and you can have the cave entrance sealed with boulders?
chris107: (If Kalthalax is sure that the demons will not be able to escape and plague the world. Hakeem will reverently take the Demon Slayer back to the nice lich.)
Smon: (I really need to get on to a fresh adventure to get back into the swing of things, feeling very rusty I fear!)
Amalric: (happy with all that_
chris107: Yup, works for me. Rusty too. Kalthalax has served it's purpose. Hakeem kept his word and Malenn is with child
Smon: After the teleportal is sealed from your end, Hakeem returns to the crypt of Clavenus.
Smon: Clavenus rises from his tomb to greet the barbarian affably.
Amalric: (I've almost forgotten about Rey's harem  )
boredom3031: Eard follows behind H.
chris107: "Clavenus, my work is done. I return to you ther Demon Slayer as promised."
boredom3031: (I need to get the full 5E books sometime.)
chris107: "Thank you Kalthalax."
Smon: "Ah, thank you for bringing it back so fast. I sense the demons are currently ravaging the underwarrens, they have encountered the dark elves... I do not think they will threaten the surface soon."
chris107: "I have enjoyed our time together."
Smon: Kalthalax: "Likewise! A most excellent bearer!"
chris107: "Sleep well mighty sword." He hands the blade back hilt first.
boredom3031: Eard watches H and the sword.
Smon: Kalthalax & Clavenus seem to speak as one: "Should the demons threaten to escape, barbarian, we shall call on you again."
chris107: And thanks Bondarr for having the chance to fight with such a great sword.
Smon: Clavenus' bony hands take the sword hilt, and he slowly subsides back into his crypt, the fire in his eye sockets fading.
chris107: "It will be my pleasure." He grinns fiercly
Smon: GM: I'm just going to give you all a flat 5000 XP.
boredom3031: Damn.
chris107:
chris107: mmmm can't find H's XP total
Amalric: nice!
chris107: But maybe that takes him to 8th?
Smon: Just working it out.
boredom3031:
Smon: Before you leave the caves, Glevina & Thadeus stop. Glevina: "Sorry boys, we've decided we're going to go look for a way back to our own world now... And if we run into the demons down there we'll give you a call!"
Smon: Thadeus: "This dungeon is endless, you see..."
boredom3031: Eard waves to Glevina.
chris107: "Good luck my friends. And thanks for all your help."
chris107: "If you are ever in need, just call. Hakeem Grey Wolf will be there for you."
boredom3031: "Me too" Eard says.
chris107: (H will give his share of treasure straight to M. Keeping only enough for a booze up and to have his old sword re-gripped)
Amalric: "See you again, Glevina - I hope!"
Amalric: (no idea about Rey's XP total either)
boredom3031: ( Me neither for Eard. )
Smon: Glevina winks at Rey: "Surely!" She nods to Earvulf, twirling her new wand: "Thanks for the present!"
Smon: +5000 XP all PCs Hakeem, Barbarian LEVEL 7 XP 25467+5000=30467/34000 Rey Rogue LEVEL 6>7 XP 18265+5000=23265/23000 Bjornalf Brighteyes Warlock LEVEL 6 XP 19970+5000=24970/23000 Eardvulf XP 6500+5000=11500/14000
Smon: Rey levels up.
boredom3031: "You're very welcome" Eard replies.
chris107: Nice one Graham
Smon: GM: You return to Clear Meadows with Amari's body for burial. A grieving Father Synjyn thanks you for your efforts.
chris107: Hakeem is sad for the man and wishes he could have done more to help.
boredom3031: Eard pats the man on the shoulder.
Smon: GM: I was thinking I'd skip forward two weeks, you're back in Selatine with the diplomatic mission to free the Rallu women completed. OK?
Amalric: "A great loss, Father...she was a girl of fine assets..."
chris107: Works for me
boredom3031: Sounds good.
Amalric: okay with me
Amalric: time for another hp roll? I'm out of touch, but still
Amalric rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 22, (+2) = 4
chris107:
Amalric: told you I was out of touch
chris107: Hard lines Graham. You had a good run at it!
boredom3031: I would have gotten a 1.
Smon: Rey - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-amalric-pc-rey.html
chris107: (Has malenn any intention of taking things easy yet? H doesn't ask of course, just listens)
Smon: Upon your return to Selatine, Malenn does seem willing to take things easy now, assuming no great heroic quest calls.
chris107: (Phew!)
Amalric: yep got the page Simon, opened it a while ago
Smon: GM: Looks as if Rogues aren't proficient with scimitars btw.
Smon: So Rey gets the +1 ring?
Amalric: i'll stick with the rapier
boredom3031: Yeah
Amalric: i'd be happy with that
Amalric: cheers
boredom3031:
chris107: H will shine up the sword he won from the hobgoblin knights.
boredom3031: Eard will do the same for his new scimitar.
chris107: What about the ring and sash from the high priest? Were they magical?
Smon: yup
chris107: Can Bjorn identify them?
chris107: Are they evil and need destroying?
boredom3031: I might make the scimitar Eard's back up weapon.
chris107: Hakeem likes the feel of a good honest sword back in his hand.
Smon: The emerald sash is definitely an evil artifact of dread K'tulu and needs destroying.
chris107: Burn it in the temple of Apollo-Mitra?
Amalric: what about the ring? if it's +2 then Eard can have the other one back
Smon: The black jade ring protects a spellcaster's magic from being interfered with by aberrant effects of the green energy crystals you saw in the dungeon.
chris107: Ermm....
boredom3031: haha
chris107: I think there are three of us..
chris107: Ah well. That's for Bjorn then
boredom3031:
chris107: Hakeem needs not these trinkets. he's going to be a daddy
Smon: Father Synjyn can ritually destroy the emerald sash, which is inscribed with the wearer's name & rank - "Seelah, High Priest of Dread K'tulu"
Smon: Bjornalf takes the ring.
boredom3031: Eard starts thinking about his favorite barmaid while shining his scimitar. lol
Smon: GM: Two weeks later...
Smon: 4/2/4446 BCCC: Hakeem, Eardvulf and Rey are drinking one rainy evening in the Redeye Inn back in Selatine Port, Eardvulf flirting outrageously with Serani, the Innkeeper's buxom wife & barmaid.
boredom3031: Haha
Smon: Heavy raindrops drum on the shutters, drops leaking through from the rafters high above to plop occasionally into a patron's beer.
Smon: Orph, a Bard recently ensconced in the Inn, is strumming on his lyre as he sings a sad tale of lost love.
chris107: H is gloomy. He hasn't stabbed anything in weeks.
boredom3031: Eard can be seen whispering into Serani's ear.
Smon: Serani leans over to clear your plates, Eardvulf whispering in her ear.
Smon: Hakeem looks up as the Inn doors open and in comes the rain-glistening figure of Aya, the Shepherdess.
boredom3031: Eard can be seen smirking to her a bit after whispering.
chris107:
chris107: "Aya! My old friend. Sit down and join us?"
Smon: Serani giggles, glancing to the kitchen doorway where her husband Aldo is tending the stew.
chris107: "How is max?"
Smon: Aya nods, smiling to Hakeem and shakes raindrops from her long dark hair.
Smon: She comes over and sits down.
boredom3031: Eard sort of makes a head gesture towards one of the rooms while smirking and laughing a bit to Serani.
chris107: H offers her his warm wolfskin cloak
chris107: "You're soaked through lass. What brings you out on a night like this?"
Smon: Aya declines the cloak: "Hail, Hakeem, friends! Max is well... but he found this, just before we were heading back at sunset..."
Amalric: "Brings you in, surely?" asks Rey
Smon: She reaches into her bag and produces a dark, sludgy lump of faeces, foul-smelling.
chris107: ewww
Smon: She grimaces. "Sorry... You know what this is?"
chris107: "Rey?"
Amalric: "Thanks but I've already eaten..."
chris107: "I am at a loss Aya..."
boredom3031: Eard is probably quite glad he's talking to the barmaid instead. lol
chris107:
Amalric: "It looks like shit...it smells like shit...and it tastes...well, probably not very nice."
chris107: hehe
boredom3031: (LOL)
Smon: Aya nods. "Not just any, though - Manticore shit!"
chris107: "Manticore?"
Amalric: "Oh bollocks."
Smon: Aya nods. "They're big winged flying lions beasts... not nice."
chris107: "Then lets go chop them into little pieces?" H brightens at the thought of bloodshed.
Smon: Aya: "Must have just come down from the hills, I reckon... I don't think our slingstones will be enough to drive it off."
boredom3031: "You were there when he took a shit?"
Smon: Aya shakes her head. "Max found the spoor, in our grazing grounds south of the river."
Amalric: "Manticores are big nasties, fire needles from their tails."
Smon: Aya nods.
boredom3031: "Oh ok." Eard says and whispers something to the barmaid again.
chris107: "They must lair somewhere? lets find that and we find the Manticores!"
chris107: H is proud of his logic and spoiling for a fight. Winged lions seem the very thing.
Smon: Aya puts the spoor back into her pack. "Max has the scent, he wanted to go chasing off after it, but I managed to drag him off..."
chris107: "Haha! Good old max. I have missed the noble beast."
chris107: "When do we start after them?" Asks Hakeem brightly.
boredom3031: "Well, lets get drenched.....in blood." Eard says to H.
chris107: (Hoping it is many flying lions to hunt)
Smon: Aya: "It seems like it came from the woods - maybe come with us tomorrow, Max track it down and you finish it?"
chris107: H grins at his cousins fine words
chris107: "Good idea Aya!"
chris107: H sups up and goes to comfort his wife before the adventures waiting with the dawn.
boredom3031: Eard smirks and nods to H, turning head to talk to the Barmaid again.
Smon: GM: Eard turns back to Serani... Next morning the day dawns clear, though the ground is sodden from the overnight rain.
chris107: Hakeem wakes. Grinning broadly and ready to stab things.
Smon: You assemble at the west gate with Aya, her cousin Vatta, their sheep, and Max, who seems excited to see Hakeem, wagging his tail happily and woofing.
boredom3031: Eard shows up also still getting himself adjusted from awakening.
chris107: "See you this evening Malenn. I'll bring more treasure for you and the young one."
chris107: H makes a real fuss of Max. Genuinly delighted to see the hound.
Smon: Malenn nods, smiling, and kisses Hakeem goodbye. Heading out of town you proceed west along the trail that runs south of the river, the shepheredesses driving their flock about half-way, where Vatta bids you farewell.
Smon: Reaching the spot where Aya found the spoor last evening, she produces it for Max to get a good sniff, then the dog casts about, trying to pick up the scent.
boredom3031: "I'm here, I'm here." Eard says acting as if he had a rough night.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 2020,
Smon: Max woofs happily!
chris107:
chris107: "The hunt is on!" Booms Hakeem merryly
Smon: Max starts off towards the woods at a good speed, Aya hurrying along behind.
boredom3031: "That dog needs to wear spikes." Eard randomly says following Max.
chris107: H trots along keeping a look out for danger
Smon: Rey, Hakeem and Eardvulf enter the deep dark woods...
Amalric: Rey, tired after a night's exertions pleasuring his harem, moans to himself
Smon:
Amalric: "Always wanting to bloody well run off killing things...such hard work..."
Smon: Make Perception (WIS) checks...
chris107:
boredom3031 rolls 1d20 and gets: 66,
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1818, (+2) = 20
boredom3031: Ouch
Amalric rolls 1d20 and gets: 1717,
boredom3031: There we go.
chris107:
Amalric: low or high better? cant recall
chris107: high
Smon: high good
Amalric: there you go, Eard is a thicko
boredom3031: haha
Smon: Hakeem and Rey spot the flash of movement through the trees ahead - to left. And to right...
Amalric: WIS is not Rey's strong point
chris107: Cousin Eard if you don't mind
Smon: And indeed, straight ahead, also...
Amalric: figures
chris107: H heads for cover of the trees and stalks along ready to pounce.
Smon: Max pauses about 20' ahead of you, ears back, growling.
chris107: Great sword drawn...
Smon: Aya stops, gulps, readies her sling.
Amalric: Rey also heads for the trees
boredom3031: Eard stands back, kneeling behind H and gets out his Axe.
chris107: "Max! Come back!"
Smon: Out of the trees ahead and to both flanks emerge three great shaggy-maned leonine beasts, spiked tails twitching.
Smon: No sign of any wings, but they seem quite formidable enough.
Smon: Hakeem make CHA check
chris107: H will use the tree trunks as cover to get close. Building his rage.
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 1919, (+5) = 24
Amalric: i take it they come out of the trees before we get there?
Smon: Max turns and bounds back to Hakeem's side as the three Manticores growl, tails swishing.
Smon: Eard & Hakeem can make INT checks
boredom3031: (earlier sort of reminds me of something atherton said to me when I rolled a character, got 14, 14, 6. Ather: "You're rolling PC's like you are, smartish, strongish, but the wisdom of a drunken elephant.")
Smon: (they're in sight of you)
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 11, (+2) = 3
Smon: (about 60' away now)
boredom3031 rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 2020, (-1) = 19
chris107: Both ends covered there then?
Smon: Eardvulf can tell the monsters are making a threat display - if they were in hunting mode they'd already have pounced.
chris107: H keeps to cover
Amalric: as does Rey
boredom3031: And as does Eard.
Smon: If you are trying to hide and sneak up on them, make a DEX check
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 1717, (+5) = 22
Amalric rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 11, (+4) = 5
boredom3031 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 33, (+2) = 5
Amalric: oh wow
chris107: wow
Amalric: Rey doesnt look where he's going, and walks into a tree with a loud "OOYAH!"
chris107:
Smon: Hakeem finds cover in the underbrush and circles round, he's close enough to charge & strike the one on the left flank.
Smon: They can see the rest of you.
chris107: If it looks like their attention is on his clumsy chums.
Smon: (if you attack, Hakeem auto wins init)
boredom3031: Eard steps on a twig and it snaps.
Smon: /roll d6
chris107: He will attack this one with rage and recklessly
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 11,
Smon: heh
chris107: Berserking when he can
Smon: Angered by your defiance, the manticores bound forward, tails raised...
Smon: Rey & Eard roll init d20
Smon: manticores:
Amalric rolls 1d20 and gets: 88,
boredom3031: Eard readies his axe
Smon: /roll d20+3
boredom3031 rolls 1d20 and gets: 1717,
chris107: (What bonus for flank attack please simon?)
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 77, (+3) = 10
boredom3031:
Smon: (if you can attack unseen you'd get Advtg)
Amalric: I'm +4 for a 12, I think
Smon: (currently Hakeem is in cover ca 20' from nearest manticore)
chris107: okay, so no point reckless then?
Amalric: Rey will attack if it means H can get advantage
boredom3031: As will Eard.
chris107: (OOC yes, lets gang up on one at a time)
chris107: Hakeem strikes with rage at the one his friends are attacking
boredom3031: (Sounds good to me. :D)
chris107 Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:
10 (+7) = 17
2 (+7) = 9
chris107 Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:
15 (+7) = 22
6 (+7) = 13
Smon: (just found the campaign record sheets!)
chris107: 17 & 22
chris107: (Yay!  )
boredom3031 rolls 2d20+2 and gets: 1515, 1111, (+2) = 28
boredom3031: Damn
chris107: (Zach you must be on more than +2?)
Smon: Aya & Rey init:
Smon: /roll d20+2
Smon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1717, (+2) = 19
boredom3031: (think I'm on +2 due to dex.)
Smon: (Aya & Max I meant)
chris107: (level/prof bonus?)
boredom3031: DEX 14 (+2)
Amalric: eh
Smon: (just dex bonus to init, no prof) GM: OK, As the manticores bound forward, Hakeem leaps from a bough at the nearest one, sword swinging.
boredom3031: Ah prof bonus is +3
Smon: AC 14, two hits.
chris107 rolls 4d6+12 and gets: 33, 33, 66, 33, (+12) = 27
Smon: Hakeem strikes his manticore, it turns, snarling.
chris107: "Bondarr!"
Amalric rolls 2d20 and gets: 1414, 44, = 18
Amalric: rapier, dagger
Smon: Eardvulf moves to engage the middle one, 15 & 11 is 2 hits
Smon: Eardvulf raging, is he using scimitar?
boredom3031: Axe with two hands
Smon: ok, d10+6 raging x2
boredom3031 rolls 1d10+6 and gets: 55, (+6) = 11
boredom3031 rolls 1d10+6 and gets: 1010, (+6) = 16
boredom3031:
chris107: Yay Zach!
Smon: 27 dmg, nice.
boredom3031: Hell yeah.
Smon: Aya slingshots at the one going for Rey.
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1919, (+4) = 23
Smon: hit...
Smon: /roll d4+2
Amalric: nice
Smon rolls 1d4+2 and gets: 44, (+2) = 6
chris107:
Smon: It bounces painfully off the brute's nose
Amalric: 14 and 4 for Rey, one hit?
chris107: Aya is BAAAD!
Smon: Rey's rapier stabs it as it comes at him...
Smon: normal hit
Amalric rolls 1d8+4 and gets: 11, (+4) = 5
Amalric: bah
Amalric: sneak damage/
Amalric: ?
Smon: just a flesh wound
chris107: bah
boredom3031: You're rolling like I normally do, graham
Smon: Why would it be a sneak attack? (not sure)?
Amalric: thanks, please take it back
boredom3031: haha
Amalric: because I want to do more damage
chris107: hehe
Amalric: I usually get the +3d6 bonus
Amalric: but if not this time so be it, I dunno - no rulebook here!
Smon: here we are: "Level 3: Roguish Archetype - Assassin: proficient w disguise & poison, advantage on attacks vs enemies who haven't acted in r1 of combat. "
Smon: so you should have rolled twice per weapon (advtg) taking best roll, and sneak att 1/round on a hit
Smon: you can roll again for each blade, see if you do better
Amalric: okay, same again then!
Smon: (to hit I mean)
Amalric rolls 2d20 and gets: 88, 1717, = 25
Smon: ok, so dagger hits too
Amalric: +7 for rapier, +8 for dagger
Smon: 3d6+1d4+1 I think
Amalric rolls 1d4+1 and gets: 44, (+1) = 5
Amalric: better
Smon: & 3d6
Amalric rolls 3d6 and gets: 44, 44, 66, = 14
chris107:
boredom3031:
Amalric: 24hp damage
Smon: Rey's manticore is the most wounded of all!
chris107:
Smon: (possibly no more sneak att though - check http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-amalric-pc-rey.html)
Smon: You have got in close with the Manticore before they can let fly their deadly tail spikes...
Smon: Angrily they lunge at you with tooth and claw...
chris107:
Amalric: "Attacks (+3d6 sneak attack damage 1/round if have Advantage, or target beside your ally)"
Amalric: if Aya is next to me, that would count, no?
Amalric: or having init?
