HEROES OF DYVERS CHAPTER 5

[Tellerian Hawke]

DIVINE INTERVENTION: ULLER CHOOSES HIS CHAMPION!

"Uller turn your eyes upon your champion, look at my current condition. Another, lesser god has dared to curse your chosen. I implore you, come to my aid once again."

As Sylvar speaks these words, there is a loud, thunderous clap, that reverberates throughout the hallway. It is followed instantly by a flash of light, which momentarily blinds all onlookers.

[sblock=A Forward To The Post, For My Players; Please Read]

GM: Dying Curse is a pact between a powerful being (like a deity, or major fiend) and a willing subject. What it allows the subject to do, is to designate, at the time of the subject's death, the person or persons whom the being should act against. It is not a spell, per se. It is more of a declaration. It's like telling the being, "Hey, this guy killed me. Go attack him." As such, there normally isn't a saving throw for this sort of thing; it's almost impossible to resist the will of a deity. However, when Sylvar asked, I told him that I would allow a Fort Save, at Lolth's DC (34), and if he could make it, he could resist the curse. I also stated that a critical failure (natural 1 on the die) would be treated like a spell critical, and the transformation would be instantaneous, instead of taking 9 days to manifest. Since the save was to resist the power of a deity (Lolth), I decided that, in the event that Sylvar could roll the natural 20 required to make the save, that Uller would intervene on his behalf, and save him from the curse. As you can see from the picture below, Sylvar pulled it off. Thus, the fantastic events that I am about to describe came about. These moments are rare in any D&D campaign, so I invite all of you to enjoy this boon, and to take full advantage of it. Sylvar's success will end up benefiting the entire party, as you will soon discover.

When everyone's vision clears, they notice a tall, winged, angelic-looking figure, which appears to be a handsome, blonde-haired man, with pure white wings, wearing silvery, chainmail armor, and carrying a massive, two-handed sword on his back. His wings seem to glow, with a silvery light, and you notice a yellowish, glowing aura, emanating from his head. Everyone has heard of such beings, but none of the party had ever thought that they'd ever see one: you are looking at a Solar, a divine messenger, an agent of power, a lieutenant, who serves a given deity directly.

The winged, angelic warrior looks at Sylvar, and smiles. “Your destiny was foretold. My master is joyous that you have finally embraced his calling.To that end, he will help you and your comrades, all of whom have done a great deed this day.”

With a wave of his hand, the Solar heals the party’s wounds, drives away their fatigue and exhaustion, and refreshes their minds. Collin is included in that healing and refreshment.

GM: The party regains all memorized spells.

Looking to Sylvar with a grim sense of urgency, he says, “The Drow Wizard has escaped you. Even now, he rushes to warn the Orcs of your incursion. The might of the Pomarj Army will be at your doorstep in less than 10 minutes. And mounted scouts, riding Manticores, will arrive in less than 8 minutes. If you have the will to fight, I have given you the opportunity to be at your best when you do so. But were I you, I would leave and regroup; the blow you have dealt to the dark alliance this day will set them back several months in their planning. If you stay, be warned that 16 Trolls lie in wait in the steading’s cellar, one of whom is a great war chief, and another, his brother, a great shaman. They are, even now, digging in and making barricades. They are very much on alert, therefore, leaving is probably the best course. However, Lord Uller rewards the brave, and thus, I shall not offer discouragement against another battle this day; but know that such a battle would be epic in scope, long in duration, and fraught with peril and attrition.”

After a moment’s pause, he continues, “If you choose to leave, there is a better place to rest than your former campsite; ask Collin for the hospitality of his mother, and he shall grant it to you quite willingly. Kraven was a great enemy of Collin’s family, and dispatching him was a great service to Collin's mother.”

Sylvar blinks, having been caught unawares. ~Who in the blazes is Collin?~ he muses, inwardly.

Lastly, he points out, “As a parting gift, all of the items you were planning to take from the ground level of this place are now within the confines of your magical pit, including the contents of Vulka’s and Delliak’s hidden treasure chests. There is still more treasure below, in the cellar, but you will need to wrest the master key from the Troll Lord’s grasp, if you hope to claim it. You now have 10 minutes or so before the Orcs are upon you. Uller wishes you well, in whichever endeavor you decide to pursue. Know that sometime within the next year, you must visit his temple in The Great Kundarian Seameast, in the city of Dane. There will you undergo the purification ritual. In the meantime, know that Uller has invested you with special powers, powers which you will begin to discover over the next few weeks. Use these powers in fulfillment of his greater glory. You are the chosen one, the one among Frey’s people, who is destined to unite the three shattered tribes. Your life shall be long, and your glories great.”

With that, the Solar is gone, as if he were never there to begin with. There is no thunder clap, or flash of light. He is simply and suddenly gone from your sight. The whole party gets a strange sensation, a sense of knowledge, that tells them that although the Solar spoke to them over the course of several minutes, only a moment of real time has passed.

Sylvar notices that he is once again in his proper clothes, wearing his Elven Chainmail, which is now un-blemished. Sylvar is now once again his proper height and weight.

Those among the party who were not in the Eastern Hallway when the Solar appeared suddenly have the knowledge of his appearance bestowed upon them, and there is no confusion; it is plainly a divine act, a gift of knowledge, which should simply be accepted, and not questioned.

GM: Dewydd, Tam, and Collin all witness the following directly: 1] Dewydd's wounds are completely healed. 2] Collin's wounds are completely healed. 3] The equipment on the dead Ogres and Giants suddenly vanishes. (They are still wearing their ratty, sub-standard clothing.)

Hill Giant #4, who cannot charge because of having to turn the corner and pass through the doorway, nevertheless advances on Dewydd's position, standing over his freshly-fallen commander's body with a look of ire. Without saying a word, he attacks!

GM: Calling 5 pts. of Power Attack. Dewydd's current AC: 24. Attack Roll: (27) Hits; 31 Damage.

The Giant brings his massive blade down upon Dewydd, who is almost able to step out of the way; instead of taking the full brunt of the blade squarely on the neck, as the Giant had intended, he instead takes a nasty wound to his right arm, as he is in the process of twisting away from the blow.

Dewydd, who was relieved a moment ago to be unwounded, grimaces as he receives the nasty gash. ~Ah well, it was fun while it lasted~ he muses.

​

THIS IS THE START OF ROUND 10! The Haste effect has now worn off! Tam's invisibility has now worn off! Respen, it's your turn! What do you do?

For the sake of continuity, I am going to say that the following party members had the following amounts of arrows:

Tam = 2 Quivers
Thallok = 1 Quiver
Kleborn = 1 Quiver

It seems that I messed up; Sylvar shouldn't have the Elven Arrows on him. So I will say that the arrows had been split differently; instead of two quivers, Tam-Tam is only carrying one; that makes sense anyway, since he's a little guy.

Elven Arrows Remaining (Tam): [16] Fired so far: 9 (7 remaining); have not checked for retrieval.
Elven Arrows Remaining (Thallok): [20] Fired so far: 0
Elven Arrows Remaining (Kleborn): [20] Fired so far: 0

Warhammer +2 (medium-sized, formerly owned by a Dwarf of the Goldbeard Clan, from the inscription.)

One torch burns smokily at the west end of the room in a wall sconce; at the other end is what
appears to be an unlit torch, but it is actually a giant slaying sword belonging to the cloud giant, and if it
is touched the special illusion is dispelled. Note that the sword is unique, with 14 intelligence, 8 ego, and speaking hill, stone, and frost giant languages in addition to the common tongue and the language of Neutral Good (which alignment the weapon is).

[Aust Thale]

Respen’s Action/s & Primary Concerns

~ I...am amazed!~

~ Nel, we should take this solar’s counsel and heed it! I feel like a fight, but I’m unsure we can fight 150 orcs alone. Come, let’s take our leave. This Collin fellow should be helpful! I wonder if he is with Dewydd or Tam! ~

The Solar’s communication is felt as much as heard. Respen takes it in quickly, noting his own polytheistic faith in the Elven pantheon.
His had been a more academic faith, less reliant on miracles or acts of divine benevolence. This good fortune, although not alien to him, was more often distant and ethereal than tangible. He listened carefully, and he resolved to drink among his own Elven beliefs more deeply.

Feeling the previous haste spell leave him, Respen nevertheless moves quickly as he is speaking, intercepting Vale as Vale stops for the Solar, taking note of several things the Solar imparts about their spoils of this battle in the portable hole. “Vale, here!!!” Unfurling the portable hole like a rug on the steading floor, he quickly reaches in and retrieves several items from it. Like Vale’s haversack, the magical storage removes the desired items by magical intuition: Five (5) large leather sacks and the Dire Wolf command horn, as well as Kraven’s helm, and one of the Elven greatswords.. Respen hands the horn and helm to Vale. “Take these, and lets see if we can’t free our Wolves as purposely as these giants enslaved them. We don’t want them tracking us; quite the contrary, they should be free or protecting us.” Respen gives Vale the Helm & the Command Horn.

GM: This is what you do during Round 10.

OOC: Following the round/round combat actions

Combat waning, Respen moves quickly toward Nosnra’s fallen corpse, taking the Elven greatsword, and placing it like a vegetable pairing knife below the giant’s adam’s apple. With a firm, steady shift of his weight, Respen severs Nosnra’s head and throws it into a leather sack, arrow and all. Talking as he works, he speaks to those within earshot. “Let some other fool play with the giant-witch. I’ll gather the other leaders’ heads before we depart.”

GM: Nosnra's head = Round 11. Full round action.

He moves to the doorway, lopping the dead bear’s head off in similar fashion as he passes. “And I think this one would make a good blanket. I wish that I could skin him or his twin before we leave. Ah well; can’t have everything. “

GM: Bear's head = Round 12. Full round action.

He moves at an urgent clip back toward the great hall, intending to take Delliak’s Head next.

He speaks as he passes through the trophy room and entry to the hall, “Give this place back to the remaining giants who surrendered, a reward for making a good decision.”

GM: Movement and speech = Round 13.

After taking Delliak’s Head in similar fashion, he will move south to check on Dewydd & Co., and barring interruption, he will instruct Dewydd to take Kraven’s head as well, putting both it and Delliak’s heads into individual large leather sacks, and tossing them back into the portable hole. He will do it himself if Dewydd is otherwise preoccupied.

GM: Delliak's head = Round 14. Full round action. Moving south / talking = Round 15.

If time allows, he will draw his dagger with the great sword and skin the bears (should take 1 minute each given his proficiency as a hunter)

GM: You don't have enough time for this. See DM's Note about Profession: Hunter, below.

[sblock=Profession, Hunter]
Skinning Animals (Profession: Hunter)


Base DC By Size:


Tiny or Small: DC 5
Medium: DC 10
Large: DC 15
Huge or Gargantuan: DC 20
Colossal: DC 25


Base time = 30 seconds (5 rounds) + 1 round per 5 pounds.


So the base time to skin a 10 lb. Jackrabbit = 7 rounds.


Base time to skin a 1,400 lb. Bison = 285 rounds (28.5 minutes)


Base time to skn an 8,000 lb. Dire Bear = 1,605 rounds (160.5 minutes, or 2 hours 41 mins)


You cannot fail this task; skill check indicates time required.


For each point that you fall short of the DC, increase the required time by 5 rounds. (No max.)


For each point that you exceed the DC by, decrease the required time by 5 rounds. The time can never be less than 6 rounds.
[/sblock]

OOC: rolls for Profession (Hunter) are as follows: Nosnra’s head: 14 Delliak’s head: 21 Kraven’s head (if Dewydd doesn’t do it): 18

After stowing the magical device in his backpack, he will proceed south toward the door he came through, adjusting to events as necessary. He watches the party’s flank as well as the skies for the manticores the Solar mentioned.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Nelvandra Contributes To The Offense.

Nelvandra follows Respen as he moves around. As Respen is doing things, a thought occurs to her, and she grabs a scroll from her pack, and hands it to him.

~You probably have a better chance of getting this thing to work than I do. I've looked at it, and it makes my head hurt, it's so darn complicated!~

GM: Round 10: Nelvandra hands a scroll to Respen. Details in private message on LINE chat.

The Troll does something.

(on 12-16-2017, Chapter 4 Thread, pp. 27, reply #270)

For the sake of continuity, I am going to say that the following party members had the following amounts of arrows:

Tam = 2 Quivers
Thallok = 1 Quiver
Kleborn = 1 Quiver

It seems that I messed up; Sylvar shouldn't have the Elven Arrows on him. So I will say that the arrows had been split differently; instead of two quivers, Tam-Tam is only carrying one; that makes sense anyway, since he's a little guy.

[Diarmadhim]

"Did you not just see all of my wounds go away?! Are you seriously dumb enough to keep attacking me instead of running???" I ask, indignation oozing from my words. Taking a 5-foot step, I move closer to the giant and put my greatsword to work.

[MacConnell]

Lathir / Orc takes a deep breath, quite surprised by the turn of events. He smiles to himself and and bobbles his head at his own private thoughts. He moves deliberately back toward the others he does not yet know and asks,

"Are any of you known as Collin?"

Having no affirmation, he will continue toward the direction that he hears others to be be making the same inquiry.

 

[Sylvar B.]

Sylvar is relieved to be back to his normal self and makes a mental note. One year to visit Uller's temple in the Great Kundarian Seamest, that should be easy enough, unless these fellows get me killed first... Although a year is a long time, especially since recently it feels like time has been moving more slowly, as if a few moments last a week, Sylvar laughs and shakes his head, I'm losing my mind.

He snaps to, and yells out so the group can hear. Lets find Collin and get out of here, Uller can reward my bravery another day, he must be a small fellow to have escaped our notice.

With that, Sylvar joins Lathir in his search for Collin.

 

[Damionte]

Duncan, Ebony, Travis & Leonard
:: Mop Up Part 2 ::




Having not been witnesses to the divine spectacle in the other room, the mini troupe marches orderly down the hall. Popping out around the door to get a look at the room beyond.

GM: PLEASE NOTE: The Solar placed the knowledge of the event, complete with visuals, into your minds. You have full knowledge of the event as if you had seen it through the Solar's eyes, and as if he had been speaking directly to you. You are all fully aware that this event happened out of your range of sight, and that it occurred mere moments ago.

Duncan whispers to his companions. "We're not looking to engage. If you run across any more civilians let them be unless they prove to be hostile."

[sblock=Order of actions in game terms]
The twins moved down the hall, into their shown positions. And took the total defense action.
Ebony and Ducan being slower in their heavier armor, double moved into position behind the twins.

All four drop max points into combat expertise for +5AC. The twins then used their standard actions to turtle up for an additional +4AC. Neither can take attacks of opportunity this round.


:: Just In Case Rolls ::
In case they are attacked by an archer. Both Ebony and Duncan can swat an arrow that would hit them down with their weapons for free without a roll. ( Their bows are also equipped with "Bow Blades" Bayonet like daggers on the ribs they can slash with like melee weapons. Complete Adventurer has them I believe. )

Ducan:
Bless Morale Bonus ( 4 Rounds +1 Attack +1 vs Fear ) ( Currently Over Written By Sylvar's +2 Bard Song )
