Adventure: Lord Byron's Lost Silver (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

[Tenchuu]

[sblock=Hergunna Perception Result]
She notices disturbances in the ground, and spots the creatures footprints. Though she still could not see the creature, she was certain of its location.

Location: N20

[industrygothica]

As the windigo disappears, Carolina shifts her focus to the stalker harrassing Wil. As her blade finds its mark, the halfling shifts closer to the opening to prepare for a silent attack on whatever is holding Kane's interest.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Sly Flourish
-vs. Skelmur the Stalker; hits AC 32 for 12 damage (Roll Lookup)
Move: 1 square to G15; Stealth: 1d20+13=19 (beats the Bloodseep Demon's passive perception by 1-- the Doomdreamer has no perception score listed).
[/sblock]

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

OOC: Hey, IG, if you are attacking elsewhere anyway, now is the time to make your stealth check with your remaining move action to be hidden from the people on the other side of the wall. Just move a bit closer to the entrance without getting into LOS (within two square). That way next turn you can snipe them.

 

[Tenchuu]

GM: Ryry messaged me and said he is very busy--anyone want to NPC the rest of his turn?

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

Hergunna decides it's high time to keep the bolt shoot maniac on the roof busy for a while and she summons a powerful wolf to keep the fiend busy. The wolf waste no time in leaping on its prey.

[sblock=Actions]
Minor: Shift to Human form to cast the spell

Standard:
Summon PAck wolf to E19 adjacent to Demon's king Wand
Summoned wolf vs Demon King's wand Reflex (1d20+9=20, 1d6+5=9)
Hits for 9
Effect: Falls prone Forget that, it needs CA to make someone fall prone.

Move: O10 Forget that too, the range is 5! So Hergunna moved to I15 before summoning the wolf and ends her turn there.

Wolf stats: same defense as Haruka, Half hp.

[sblock=John/Triggers]
Virtue of Prescience: Triggers for Hergunna on DKW attack.
[/sblock]

Skelmur, cornered, lashed out against Kruk. He gazed hauntingly into the dwarf's eyes, freezing Kruk in place. Skelmur then laid his decrepit hand on him, burning Kurk's skin through his armor.

The Wendigo returned to sight for most of the adventurers, trying to sneak up on Hergunna; but the druid was ready for the attack, and knocked the beast away before it could sink its fangs into her again.

The Demon King's Wand backed away from the Wolf. It briefly thought of attacking the creature, but thought it wiser to attack the source, and it saw a group of enemies clustered together. Focusing, it shot out a spark which flew toward Hergunna. At it sailed past here, it exploding, sending a striking visual pattern which assaulted the adventurers. Carolina, Wil, and Hergunna shook off the attack, and the mental assault dazed Kruk, whose eyes looked bloodshot.

"You are a fool, Bugbear!" The human doomdreamer barked, moving forward. "You WILL back away!" The mental attack burned in his mind, compelling him to move.

The bloodseep demon followed suit, moving up, and slashing with a claw. The attack reached skin, and the poison dripping from its claws burned.

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship Wind's Will captained by Captain Levenbrech, and mated by Porse and Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest, Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about Hellview (background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.

Kruk blinks his eyes a couple times and prepares to swing at the foe in front of him. But as he peers forward, he sees that it's already dead. By Stoneburner's black beard...I wanted a crack at him! Taking a big sigh he collects himself and refocusses his energy and focus.

GM: Still waiting on Caroline and Kane. Also, I talked to Ryry some more, and we decided it would be best if someone roleplayed his PC for the rest of the encounter. After this encounter, he will leave the game. If you guys think we need another player to replace ryry, I welcome you to recruit from people you know which DM credits to burn (since this is a higher level game already). However, I would like one of the players to RP Hergunna until the end of the encounter.
