[QUOTE="Cultsbane, post: 8935376, member: 7037457"] Campaign time: 3 hours, 1 min, 17 second Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt Isabelle couldn't make it (scheduling conflict, hopefully we can get something to work) We discuss our next moves. Such as do we arrest Xambria and Caius, do we go up to Cauldron Hill and talk with the half faced man, get into contact with Gale, Or go immediately to the university? Hops & Freya head towards the university campus. Hops partially for the investigation & partially to become a drug dealer on the local college campus. Freya gets the lead from some local college students to go towards the museum of "Risur" history which is known to host a lot of old exhibitions and artifacts from dig sites. Some like a civilization of orcs, Minotaur shaman group, enslaved goblins, and other groups that were ones native to the area but been pushed back to Ber where there later got enslaved by dragons before being liberated by Risur. We definitely don't make Risur out to be the good guys in this campaign (I also forget that normal suburban people don't smoke "fey pepper" with strangers irl, rural & urban gang ftw) We get directed towards Professor Hans. Who is reading about Divinations Magic, has a glass monocle and a ponytail. After Freya bumbles through negotiations, revealing that we're RHC he directs us towards two people that would be able to help. Caius Beregeron, an eccentric rich Tiefling. Xambria Meredith, professor who had recently lost everyone at a dig site. Oh boy Cut to Anael and Kelik. They decide not to talk to Gale, but to check out the basement that Freya had blown up earlier. Anael casts planar energy. The basement is still there with the scent of bleak gate oil. Kelik uses his crowbar and busts in. The stairways are guarded by a brick wall. They can hear music down there, metal moving, and footsteps. A single person is making them. Anael decided to bust through the wall with her shield like she was the kool aid man (Oh yeah!) However smashing through the wall sends her flying down the flight of stairs.

Anael is stunned, as she also loves cheese At this point they see the desk float and get shoved into a portal that he opened up. Kelik shoots at Dafoe's knee, a medal plate reflects the bullet back at him. Apparently getting shot is not that fun Anael casts command. He instantly counterspells it, saying his Lord wouldn't like it if he was defeated that easily. At this point he recognizes them as the idiots of the RHC, The most incompetent people ever and he'll probably spare them out of mercy. He starts chastising them for killing the scientist inside as they had families and aspirations. That he'll choose peace though Anael turns to Kelik and says "imma bash him in the face with my shield" before charging at him, Kelik like "never seen you back down from a fight". Kelik starts with another shot with the carbine William Dafoe blocks it again with the metal shield. Kelik throws a dagger and it hits his shoulder.

Managing to throw him and grapple him to the dloor. He smiles and says "What I'm not going to kiss you or anything" Iron bar goes flying out of the wall straight at kelik's Head and he takes 39 damage and makes a con save, fails. Kelik goes limp and passed out I didn't want to have to do that but you left me no choice. He pulls out the chaos emeralds..Slams it into the ground, it cracks open, a small gust of steam comes up followed by fire. The fires connect together and becomes a fire elemental. He gives it a simple command "Blow up the room" Anael uses her transformation abilities, shining light everywhere and radiant damage onto the man.
