D&D 5E (IC) Rise of the Dracolich

[Charwoman Gene]

Alhana draws her bow and aims at the trolls, but does not fire. Yet.

 

[Fradak]

"Some accomplished diplomacy that was." whispered Lorenn behind Sesto.
Suddenly, Sesto's mace burst in flames...

... as Lorenn added some pyrotechnic effect to the threat with a pinch of prestidigitation.

OOC: And maybe giving advantage?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Sesto's mace burst into flames, maybe giving advantage? Sure, but only on the Intimidation attempt. @Prickly Pear reroll for Sesto.

 

[Prickly Pear]

From sheer surprise, Sesto yelped and dropped his mace as if it'd burnt him.

OOC: Intimidation check for advantaged granted by flaming mace: 1D20-1 = [7]-1 = 6 Thank you, Lorenn, but Sesto should have kept his mouth shut.

 

[Ancalagon]

Kalorn ground his teeth in frustration, and stepped forward.

"Translate, priest."

The exact words were not important, attitude was. In a harsh voice, Kalorn intoned "Your kin attacked, us, and for that, they burned. Stay out of our way. Attack us, and burn too. I, Kalorn, have spoken, in one voice. Thus." Feeling his performance wasn't quite enough, he trust the Nail into the ground and flames (prestidigitation) briefly burst from it.

intimidate check following Sesto: 1D20+7 = [5]+7 = 12


advantage on the intimidate check if the GM allows it: 1D20+7 = [15]+7 = 22

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord saw Kalorn stepping up to speak and cast a spell to help him improve his threat. He also stepped up as well, dagger glowing with eldritch energy as he readied it for any insuing battle.

Spoiler: OOC

Guidance: 1d4 1
Not sure if I can cast and help as well, but is somebody else can help that'll help. This guidance sucks anyways.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The troll roared and yelled, "Dey attack yoo? Uv curse dey attack yoo! You coom ta coz trubble like all liddle folks do. We be happy an' safe before yez liddle folks coom. Aks de toadish quin. She telz ye de same as me. Yez liddle folks fooks up ur dragon-boss! He crazy now, nodda gud boss no more, he ant. An den yooz! Kills ur bruddahs an makem joost like da crazy dragon, all skelly-like! We saws em, near de sick man, hidin' inna caven. All skelly-like. Crazy as ur dragon-boss an nod fit fer nuffin. Yer whadayacall..."

He paused, trying to think of the word, and another troll said, "Nekkermunchers."

"Nekkermunchers!" the first troll yelled, "An eye doon like Nekkermunchers!"

He hefted a rather large club over his head and pounded into the ground for emphasis, nearly getting himself shot by Alhana for the threatening gesture. But, while he left a star-shaped cracked circle in the floor in front of the cleric, he had not moved close enough to reach. Perhaps he was reluctant to truly start a fight after all.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Sesto chose to ignore Kalorn at this stage. More threats didn't seem to be appropriate.
The troll's club came crashing down just in front of Sesto, but he managed to keep calm this time. Show no fear, he told himself. And not taking his eyes of the troll, he slowly bent down and picked up his mace.
So, You Don't Like The Dragon-Boss, No? The Queen Toad Don't Like The Dragon-Boss. Sesto paused and, with emphasis, struck his fist to the chest. I Do Not Like The Dragon-Boss Too!!!
Now, We Have Something In Common. You Want To Rid The Dragon-Boss, Yes? I Want To Rid The Dragon-Boss Too. My Friends Want To Rid The Dragon-Boss, Sesto made a sweeping gesture towards Imani's agents. Now, You And I Get Rid Of The Dragon-Boss Together, Yes?
Sesto paused again to see the how his words affected the troll this time.

 

[Ancalagon]

In a low tone, Kalorn said "remember why we are here" He didn't speak giant, but the root of the word dragon was the same in almost all languages, and he was becoming alarmed at how often it was being brought up.

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord shook his head slightly at Kalorn. "We are here as much to defeat this menace as to retrieve our prize. This dracolich is a servant of Dretchoyaster. If we don't deal with it here, we may find ourselves in greater danger in the future."
