chris107: Hi Simon
Sandor Sunneson: evening Simon
Smon: Hello
Sandor Sunneson: Is your boy gracing us with his presence tonight too?
chris107: Just going to grab a glass of water, 1 min.
Smon: No, Ingrid has him. She took him to the anti-Trump march today.
Sandor Sunneson: The result is final, some you win, some you loose, life goes on
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: It won't impact her anyway, she lives in UK
chris107: Back
Sandor Sunneson: Anyway, back to the real stuff
chris107: Yes we have a Ghoul squisher to deal with..
Sandor Sunneson: Stuck in a cave, dead ghouls, who did it, we don't know.....
Sandor Sunneson: something with claws
Smon: GM: OK so Drakonok will guard your rear while the others move ahead.
Smon: Are you following the tunnel NW from the triangular cave with the squashed ghouls?
chris107: The Amir ready to protect his friends.
Sandor Sunneson: yes
chris107: Let me check my map
Sandor Sunneson: and we have the beatle things to use as torches
chris107: Ah, yes
chris107: Can one be fitted atop a helmet?
Smon: You can wrap the beetle glands around your helms or shields to shed light as you advance yup.
chris107: Leaving hands free.
Sandor Sunneson: Like a Yorkshire miner going down t'pitt
Sandor Sunneson: good thinking, we'll do that
Smon: Sandor Amir or Svenya first?
chris107: (Not many of those left Sandor)
chris107: Can Sandor and Amir go side by side?
Smon: No, it looks too narrow.
Sandor Sunneson: yeah, happy with that
Sandor Sunneson: Amir has protect ability
chris107: Can I go 5' behind Sandor and still protect him?
Sandor Sunneson: can I use my dangersense ability?
Smon: GM: You head NW down the narrow tunnel, lit by the red glow of the fire beetle glands. It's too cramped for Amir to protect Sandor here, but after about 35-40' you come out into a cave about 20' across.
Sandor Sunneson: does Sandor sense danger??
Smon: On the north side of the cave broad, carved stone steps lead downwards, and there is also a tunnel heading south out of the cave.
Smon: The breeze is coming from the stairway.
Sandor Sunneson: any distinct odour?
Smon: Danger Sense just gives you advantage on DEX saves AFAIK (as far as I know)
Sandor Sunneson: from breeze ?
Sandor Sunneson: ok,
Smon: Yes, a smell of rot.
Sandor Sunneson: steps or tunnel Chris?
Smon: As you enter the chamber your beetle light falls on five more bodies scattered across the floor.
chris107: I think we should keep an eye on the tunnel and get side by side as we enter the room.

Smon: You don't see any immediate threats.
Sandor Sunneson: anything of interest? e.g. misc magic items? chest??
Smon: It looks as if the south tunnel opens out into a dry cave after 20'. The north stairs go down 10' to a landing from which they continue down east.
chris107: Glance down the southern corridor and wide steps to the north just to be sure.

Smon: It angles NW to SE so you can only see the NW end.
chris107: But don't want to leave anything behind us.
chris107: Ah okay. Maybe after our rest?
Sandor Sunneson: Would the monster not have heard us fight?
Sandor Sunneson: obv not
chris107: You make a very good point.
Sandor Sunneson: lets rest and recover HP

Smon: Drakonok tells you he scared off some giant flies that were snooping around your rear.

Sandor Sunneson: ok, lets keep on moving into the big cage?

Smon: GM: You head south into the dry cave - is Sandor in front?
Sandor Sunneson: with Amir?

Smon: /roll d20+1
chris107: I'm happy to go upfront if it's too narrow?
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 9, (+1) = 10
chris107: Though my low dexterity means any traps are likely to get me
Smon: You enter the dry cave. It runs SE about 20' before tapering off in a curled point. Just before it ends you see a narrow tunnel in the south wall.
Smon: /roll d6x3
Smon Rolls 1d6x3 and gets:
2 = 2
4 = 4
1 = 1
Sandor Sunneson: how tall is the tunnel??
Smon: Suddenly as your footsteps set off a slight tremble, rocks fall from the ceiling!
Smon: Towards Sandor & Svenya - Amir is bracketed.
chris107: And any sign (spor, prints etc) of habitation?
Smon: DC 15 DEX save Sandor, you have advantage due to Danger Sense so roll 2 d20 take best result.
chris107: Asad raises his shield.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 2d20 and gets: 7, 14, = 21
Smon: I'm going to be kind and let Amir raise his shield to protect Svenya behind him, giving her advtg on her save.

Smon: The choking orange dust gets in your eyes, nose, mouth, hair...
chris107: he feels slightly vindicated for taking the protect option
Smon: As the dust settles, it seems no more rocks are falling.
Smon: The south tunnel exit curls west and widens as it turns into a flight of stone steps heading steeply upwards.
Sandor Sunneson: We'll wait a couple of minutes to see if the rockfall attracts other monsters or anyting
Sandor Sunneson: up steps Amir/Svenya?
chris107: Any evidence ofinterference or does the fall seem natural?
Smon: All seems quiet, Drakonok guarding your rear in the northern cave.
Sandor Sunneson: Is that worth 52 xp avoiding those rocks?
Sandor Sunneson:
Sandor Sunneson: up stairs then
Sandor Sunneson: ??
Smon: The cave seems very dry, you're not an expert on caves but it could be natural.
chris107: Any evidence that these steps have been used lately?
Sandor Sunneson: any stalagmites or stalagtites?
chris107: "Let's not risk the roof falling in on us. I say we head north and down."
Smon: The steps don't show signs of recent use.
Sandor Sunneson: sure,
Sandor Sunneson: that could be down to L3
Sandor Sunneson: better to stay on this level??
chris107: "Any creature foolish enough to live in a unstable staircase won't be creeping up on us."
Smon: Svenya nods. "Agree, north."
chris107: "I'd like to find whatever raised those zombies and shreded the ghouls.."
Sandor Sunneson: maybe a lion cleric??
Sandor Sunneson: north it is
chris107: "Horus will protect us." (Even though he doesn't appear in the 5e Egyptian Gods list)
chris107: A Lion Cleric sounds pretty scary.
Sandor Sunneson: it would spend most of its time sleeping
Smon: GM: You head back north and take the broad 10' wide stairs down - N then E.
chris107: Side by side Sandor?
Sandor Sunneson: aye
Smon: The stairs come out on the west side of a hexagonal chamber, well fashioned.
Sandor Sunneson: what else do we notice?????????
Smon: A second stairway through an arch in the south wall leads on downward, while there is a door in the west wall. The heavy timber shows signs of damage, as if from the claws of some great beast - a large lion or sabretooth, perhaps.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
chris107: NW or SW for the door?
Sandor Sunneson: do we hear anuyhing??
Smon: Suddenly in the distance you hear a roar! It sounded as if it came from a long way beyond the door.
Sandor Sunneson: get ready bpys and girls
Smon: The door is at the north end of the east wall.
chris107: "Your jest of a lion-priest may not be too far from the mark friend Sandor.."
Smon: Svenya: "It did sound like a lion - I think... I've never met a lion..."
chris107: thanks
chris107: "Neither have I but I heard tell that one of the local demi-gods dressed in the skins of such a beast. I always fancied such a garment."
Sandor Sunneson: is the roar getting louder?
Sandor Sunneson: lets approach door
Smon: GM: Studying the room you see the hexagon is irregular - there are SW NW N E and SE walls, plus the archways where W and S walls would otherwise be.
chris107: yup
Smon: So either a pentagon or a septagon maybe.
Smon: The roar is not repeated.
chris107: hehe that's buggered up my map
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: The dank fetid breeze is coming from the southern stairs.
chris107: Is the door barred or locked?
chris107: No movement down there?
Smon: The door is not barred or locked.
Smon: No sign of movement.
chris107: Through the door on a lion hunt then?
Smon: Svenya: "Monsters often have treasure..."
Sandor Sunneson: yes
Smon: "And I want a thousand gold before I return to Croy..."
Sandor Sunneson: focus on the kill first
chris107: (Is the holy animal of Mitra a lion?)
Smon: (yes)
Smon: Svenya cautiously opens the door, revealing a dim-lit corridor of worked stone running east.
Smon: It's 10' wide, you can see openings along the south wall.
chris107: how wide/high?
Smon: 10' high in centre.
chris107: thanks
Sandor Sunneson: how many openings??
Smon: There is a door in south wall after 30', then an open arch after 60', and it looks like a third arch at 80'. Then the passage ends.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Smon: The roar comes again!
Smon: You think it came from the furthest arch.
Sandor Sunneson: any noise heard?
Sandor Sunneson: from what door?
Sandor Sunneson: Would it be worth firing an arrow into there to see if that entices it out??
chris107: Lets creep up...
Sandor Sunneson: ok, creep we do
Smon: The roar came through an open archway 80' down the passage, just before it dead-ends.
chris107: It would be a sharp angle.
Smon: GM: You head cautiously down the tunnel...
Smon: After 30' you pass the door.
chris107: Listning at the door and sneaking a look through the first arch as we go
Smon: At 60' you reach the first archway. It opens into another tunnel running south into darkness.
Smon: No sound from the door.
Sandor Sunneson: are the torches still on?
chris107: The Amir raises his shield. The words of power for his spell on his lips.
Smon: There is a dim bluish radiance. As you near the second archway you smell blood.
Smon: The archway opens into a chamber, 30' e-w by 20' n-s - a veritable slaughterhouse.
Smon: Hanging from spikes on the walls are the remains of goblins, several missing limbs. Blood, viscera & offal litters the floor.
Smon: Your archway is at the w end of the n wall. A matching arch is set at the east end of the south wall.
Sandor Sunneson: good potential for a haggis factory with all this offal
Smon: /roll d6

Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 19, (+1) = 20
Sandor Sunneson: get ready to rumble
Smon: Suddenly there comes the stealthy tread of great paws through the southern arch, and into the chamber comes a hideous beast.
chris107: My lions are girrded
Smon: The body of a lion indeed, but the head is manlike, the wings reptilian, and its long tail ends in a cluster of deadly spikes.
chris107: Oh bugger
Smon: Not a lion of Mitra, but a creature of Chaos - a Manticore!
Smon: Its yellow eyes fix on you as you lurk in the doorway.
chris107: "Horus smite this foul creature with your divine wrath!"
Smon: "MAN-THINGS...."
Smon: roll init

chris107: He checks out the slumped form of the Dragonborn.
Smon: Drakonok seems to be sleeping peacefully, he'll have a bruised head but no major damage.
Sandor Sunneson: cool, ok what's in the room? Check everyone is ok\
chris107: "To me! We must find this other beast before it can bring help!"
Sandor Sunneson: ok, lets follow it
Smon: Svenya cautiously approaches the chamber the manticore entered from, leaning on the archway for support.
chris107: (The things talk, foul chaos in deed)
Sandor Sunneson: how are we HP wise?
Smon: Svenya: "I'm not chasing that one!"
chris107: 11/20 here, not good.
Smon: Svenya is on 5 hp.
chris107: Then lets grab what we can and get the heck out of here!
Sandor Sunneson: yes
chris107: The spikey tail would make for a fine flail head
chris107: glass of water 1 min.
Smon: The arch leads into a roughly triangular room, empty but for a few bones and bloodstains, but with an arch in the west wall - and through that arch you see a second room, 20x20 with a door in the west wall, dominated by a kind of nest around which are scattered many thousands of silver coins.
Smon: Inside the nest is an open chest, brimming with gold coins, from which emerges the emerald hilt of a shining longsword and the tip of an opal encrusted wand.
chris107: "More than we can carry likely.
chris107: Wow!
Smon: You also see a potion vial in the chest, with a blank nametag.
Sandor Sunneson: beautiful sword, how amazing it looks
chris107: Can we carry the chest betwen us?
Smon: Yes, two of you could carry the chest, ca 55-60 lb weight looking at the gold.
Sandor Sunneson: may I pick up the sword?
Smon: Sandor could carry it in both hands if he doffed shield.
chris107: Scoop as much as the silver as we can carry and the chest and get the heck out of Dodge?
Sandor Sunneson: yes,
chris107:
Smon: Sandor approaches the sword and grasps its hilt with slightly trembling hand... he pulls it out and raises it - silvery flame runs up the blade!
chris107: No problems with you picking up the sword here Sandor.
Smon: "I AM YOUR VENGEANCE, SANDOR. I AM SPELLBANE."
chris107: Very kewl sword
Smon: Svenya: "Er, did the sword just talk?"
Smon: The hilt is warm to the touch, the blade incredibly well balanced and keen.
chris107: "The spirit of vengence is strong in this one."
Smon: "I WAS FORGED TO DESTROY THE POWERS OF SORCERY. USE ME WELL."
Sandor Sunneson: Hello Spellbane, I will do you justice
Smon: GM: The sword seems satisfied.
chris107: Now lets get this fab loot back to town!
chris107: Before Simon starts rolling 6's
Smon: GM: Spellbane is a base +1 longsword. When Attuned (you can have a max 3 attuned items) it does +2d8 damage vs spell users (so 3d8 total) and grants Magic Resistance (advantage on saves vs spells)
chris107: Asad smiles at the mention of vengeance and justice.
chris107: Nice sword Sandor
Smon: GM: With Drakonok's help you sweep up as much silver as you can, plus the 4,000gp in the chest, the sword, wand & potion, and head for home...
Smon: OOC OK will do XP.
Sandor Sunneson: yeah that's fine
chris107: That is a fine haul!

chris107: wish I'd stayed with mac.
Smon: Well it's better than the Chromebook I had before.
Smon: It's taking 5 minutes to search for a calculator

Smon: Wed evening good for Bill
Smon: No Bill Saturday
chris107: I can do both Tues & Weds. Weekend I'll have to check what my partner is working but should be okay.
Smon: Actually I'll have Bill Saturday until 6pm.
Sandor Sunneson: For Tues that maybe possible, the tour I'm down to do provisionally on Tues finishes at 5.30, so that could be a possibility.
Smon: (found my 30 year old school calculator!)
Sandor Sunneson: Could do an afternoon session next Sat?
Smon: Let's aim for next session Tuesday 7pm ok?
chris107: The Amir Asad will be planning to swear his Oath of Vengeance to Horus/Mitra
chris107: Tuesday I can only play up to 6:45 it's my Castle Redstar game night.

Smon: OK Wednesday 7pm?
chris107: Wednesday 7pm is great for me.
Sandor Sunneson: depends what tour I'm on, but possibly yes
Smon: Let's go for Wednesday. Can either do 4.30pm or 7pm, 7pm sounds more likely.
chris107: Both times on Wednesday work for me.
Sandor Sunneson: and next Sat afternoon?
Smon: Sandor on 1323 XP by my count.
Smon: yep will aim for that.
chris107: Again should be okay unless we're going away for the weekend.
chris107: Thanks for another great session Simon. Cheers Sandor
Smon: I'll check w Bill re Saturday, but Wed should be fine.
Smon: Cheers
Sandor Sunneson: Shall we say provisionally 1-3 on Sat? unless you are away? Then that leaves rest of day free? Or could do late morning?10-12
Smon: Well done not TPKing!
Smon: Yeah early Sat would be great.
chris107: Saved by the spell!
Smon: Bill wants to see a film Saturday.
Sandor Sunneson: Thanks Simon, will you update this on the blog?
