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

[Prickly Pear]

Sesto opened his eyes as soon as the powerful liquid entered his throat. Kalorn entered his view, poured another potion down Sesto's throat and shouted something about getting up. That sounded like a good idea so he stood up on trembly legs and looked around. Kalorn and Lorenn seemed in good shape, the berserker and Oggsbruff, not so good. The others he couldn't see. Sesto didn't feel very good either.
Sesto decided to call upon Lathander's healing powers yet again, this time for himself. No good to others if I'm dead. He was momentarily surrounded by a shimmering light and cuts and bruises disappeared leaving a him with a warm feeling.
Where is the dragon, he asked Kalorn and Lorenn. We need to find shelter!
Sesto start moving in the direction Lorenn pointed, carefully avoiding the drop on the ground, and called in his spectral mace closer. As Sesto walked he asked: Oh Great Lathander, Now is the Time to Show Mercy Upon Your Disciple. HELP! but his call went unheard.

OOC: Sesto's light spell is still active and I am assuming Spiritual Weapon is also active. Nothing in the spell description says it disappears when unconscious. DM's fiat apply, of course, but the spectral mace is still on the map so let's go with it! Sesto cast Cure Wounds at 4th level; Cure wounds on self (4th level) with Disciple of Life: 4D8+5+2+4 = [8, 6, 4, 5]+5+2+4 = 34. Sesto has now total of 48 HP. Move: 15' to stand up and 15' south to AI35. Moving spectral mace to AD38 Just for fun: Calling for Divine Intervention: 1D100 = [11] = 11

OOC: Yeah, Spiritual Weapon isn’t Concentration, so it should still be up.

Having spent so much effort reaching Sesto, Kalorn was a bit ... irked that Lorenn had appeared out of nowhere to deliver a potion, beating him to the punch. He could feel his reserves slowly depleting, and all he had accomplished was a few glancing bolts at the dragon.

He pointed south and said "The drake went that way, I can't see it, I can't get to it. Spread out and beware its ice!"

He looked around and noted Alhana and lokaftd struggling against a skragg. An archer would serve much better against a dragon than a swordsman... perhaps this was where he needed to be.

He started making his way east again, moving away from the others, hoping it was the right decision. He raised his left and and once more, bolts of smoking darkness hurled forth.

(OOC: I'm doing this because I presume that Kalorn can't reach it on foot in a single round so he's moving and blasting. if this is incorrect please let me know)

(Eldritch blast)
2 eldrich blasts in the back of SKrag 1: 1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11
1D20+7 = [6]+7 = 13


OOC: FFS... I don't imagine I get advantage for shooting it in the back? Maybe it will distract it at least...

Moving from Eastern Lair to Western Lair (Slowly!)

In slow-motion, the frozen, undead trolls rushed down the crevasse toward the western lair. In slow pursuit, and pushing and shoving for the best spot, followed the troll brothers shouting "Eeeeyyyee ggoodddeemm!" in a deep, slow version of the trollish giant-tongue. Finally, they both scratched at the back of the creature that had once been their uncle, and they brought it down, slowly tearing at the frozen flesh.

Western Lair

Sesto climbed to his feet. He wasn't sure how long he'd been out, but things seemed to have been pure chaos, and much was still. Lorenn flew over his head on his flying board and dropped a potion to one of his summoned berserkers, who gratefully drank it. Then, the bladedancer fired a bolt of flame past Sesto, just missing a frozen troll that loomed out of the darkness, rushing toward him.

Sesto shuffled away, still getting his bearings. Suddenly Primus appeared within the light of Sesto's glowing shield and appeared to be focused on something far away, as if he was reaching out his senses to find the dragon. This recalled Sesto to the task at hand, as Lorenn's flaming sphere rolled past them, lighting up a berserker who was climbing up onto the ice-shelf toward another frozen troll, shrouded in mists. The sound of stomping feet and scraping claws indicated that these undead creatures were coming from all directions to defend their master.

Primus, for his part, had not found the dracolich, but he found signs that it was nearby. He watched as Lorenn's familiar eko, who was also searching for the dragon, was killed by an explosion of ice. Then, a wall of ice formed along the end of the ice-ridge that ran across the lair. Perhaps the dracolich was building itself a protective wall while it waited to replenish the energy that created it's terrible breath.

Eastern Lair

Mord moved along the ice-ridge and fired eldritch energy into the hazy, shrouded scrum. His troll skeletons tore at the cultist leader as the tall catfolk swung his icy blade, striking a troll skeleton, and also the sergeant of the troll squad. The cult-leader looked winded, but he kept on, and his smaller, human minions swarmed in. One hacked a skeleton apart, and its bones scattered to the floor. That cultist climbed over the large bones and stabbed at the other skeleton. Mord knew that his minions would not last long.

Another cultist got in on Sargloth - when the troll raised his shield to block Arrufel's sword, the shorter cultist lunged in and stabbed the troll in the ribs. The troll was on fire, and his flesh bubbled where normally it would have sealed the wounds.

Blurcho bellowed, both in frustration and a more than a little fear, in giant: "Put me out! Put me out! Throw snow at me or somethin!" He then tried to relieve his frustration by clawing at the injured dragonfang/dragonwing

(I see both are equally close and injured, and Blurcho will just go for wichever of the two seems to be the easiest target)

blurcho attacks, disadvantage, first 2 rolls bite roll 3 4 first claw, roll 5 6 second claw: 1D20+7 = [10]+7 = 17
1D20+7 = [12]+7 = 19
1D20+7 = [5]+7 = 12
1D20+7 = [17]+7 = 24
1D20+7 = [8]+7 = 15
1D20+7 = [7]+7 = 14

(OOC: So 17 on bite, 12 on one claw, 14 on second claw, I'll roll damage for all 3 just in case

Troll bite: 1D6+4 = [3]+4 = 7

2 troll claws: 2D6+4 = [1, 1]+4 = 6
2D6+4 = [4, 3]+4 = 11



OOC: In case there is a save to remove the fear:
fear save for blurcho, I am not sure if I was supposed to, but if so, why not save time: 1D20-1 = [19]-1 = 18

Loklafd lit two torches and he swung them in the face of an undead troll. The troll batted at them with its claws, distracted, while one of Lorenn's berserkers hacked at the creature from the other side. Kalorn stumped along through Sesto's light, coming upon Primus, where they began to hatch a proper battle plan. This had not been going well so far, and it was past time to change the momentum of the battle toward the favour of Imani's Agents.

Kalorn sent a blast of energy from his sword that further distracted the undead troll while Oggsbruff climbed up on the cliff and tore the thing in half with a roar. Alhana took that opportunity to climb back up onto the higher shelf, where her superior vantage allowed her to send two arrows, solid and true, into the undead troll that was moving in on Sesto.

Back on the ice-shelf from where Primus had disappeared, the undead troll there was sniffing around for the now-missing mystic, when one of Lorenn's berserkers foolishly leaped out and buried two hand-axes into the creature. Unfortunately for the northman, the frozen troll ignored the axes long enough to lift him up by the arms, then bite his head off his shoulders. Then it threw the body aside and climbed down to continue its search for Primus.

Blurcho asked another troll to put his fire out as he reached for the less-threatening of two cultists and clawed and chewed the man to death. He liked the way the bones crunched in his teeth.

"Pud yerself oud!" answered the Troll at first, "Eyem buzzy! Awwww... fyne!"

The troll tore a chunk of ice out of the shelf beside them and crushed it in his fists as a cultist stabbed him twice in the back. The troll ignored the sword-wounds and crushed the ice in his fists, patting it on Blurcho's burning back. The troll held still and sighed as the crushed ice soothed his bubbling flesh. Then the cultist that was above him on the higher shelf hacked at his face with a sword, putting out one of his eyes, and Blurcho snapped back to attention as the eye began to grow back.

Another troll climbed up on that higher shelf and mauled the cultist, who found himself now between three very large trolls, injured but alive for the time being.
