D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil

[CanadienneBacon]

Dent stood back up and straightened. Long pale fingers curled around the pommel of his longsword. The knight's black eyes drank Tom's fear like a fine port wine. "How many men are with this Drosnin? Are there men with the bugbears?" Dent moved behind Tom, and pushed closed the doors to the room. If there was a lock, he slid the bolt into place. He eyed Tolan, quirked an eyebrow, and jerked his head at the closed doors. The silent message was clear enough; Dent feared company might be on its way and wanted Tolan positioned by the doors.

"Nobody with the bugbears, probably. Drosnin keeps guards. At least two with him in the chapel at all times. Maybe more at night."

"So. You are the follower of something called 'Olhydra,'" Aridha mused aloud, studying the woman's face. "Also known, or its cult is known, as the 'crashing wave' or 'plunging torrent.' And you believe us to be followers of something called the 'eternal flame.' You accuse us of treachery, which means that we would normally be allies, but are betraying you by attacking. Something you're angry about, but don't seem terribly surprised about."

"Furthermore, your prophet appears to be something of a fraud. Good to know."

She nods and stands straight again.

"Anything else you want to add?"

 

[Creamsteak]

Urshnora is terse, "This river will rip and twist you into pieces before you ever reach the temple. Hail Olyhdra!"

 

[Shayuri]

"The precaution you mentioned. Good. Thank you for your help."

She looks wryly over at Damien.

"No further questions."

 

[Forged Fury]

...is it really happening this time?

Damien struck out with his rapier, aiming for a quick kill. He hoped his companions were ready if it turned out differently.

OOC: Attack w/Advantage: [roll0], [roll1], Damage: [roll2] It's quite possible I won't kill her, all things considered.

 

[Creamsteak]

Damien kills Urshnora. She doesn't seem to fight it off at-all.

Tolan catches Dent's look and hauls himself back to his feet. He gathers up his own equipment and makes a quick patrol of the area, before returning to the double doors and positioning himself behind them, listening for any activity beyond.

OOC: If I am reading the map correctly, the only exits to the rest of the keep are these doors and the secret path? [roll0]

 

[Forged Fury]

Weak foul false prophet! I forsee feasting on your soul in the Hells! How about that for a prophecy?!? Mwahahaha!!!

Considering what she just told us, I really don't think she was actually referring to you, but rather this Eternal Flame.

What?!? Some other power is pantomiming me? You must seek them out and slay them, post haste!

The small party standing over Urshnora's corpse noticed Damien sigh deeply.

Wiping his blade on the woman's clothing, he said, "Thanks for telling us the river leads to the temple. So dumb."

OOC: Damien will search her body for loots, then pick it up and carry it back upstairs. We got to figure out something to do with these bodies if we're going to try to take a long rest to level and heal before attempting the rest of this place.

 

[Creamsteak]

OOC: There is also an exit through the second floor Reaver's Quarters on the south side that leads out onto the wall.
