D&D 5E (IC) Vault of the Dracolich (Ensemble)

[Fradak]

Lorenn didn't know to which plan of existence or dark place of the universe was connected this sphere of blackness. All things considered, he didn't want to know. Better stay away from this kind of black magic. Turning his eyes away from the cacophonous void and trying to not hear the slurping noises, his gaze fell on Mord taking pleasure of this horror. Imani must know what he is doing, thought Lorenn. Fighting fire by fire... why not. Anyway, the fog cloud he was preparing was just a small drop in the bucket compared to Mord's powers. Or the powers someone gave him. But in exchange of what services? He is no priest nor wizard. Let's hope we don't replace an evil cult by an other.

Driving away these thoughts from his mind, Lorenn steps back and in the shadows, raises his magical defences.

OOC: Lorenn casts Mage armor and stays hidden in the shadows.

Location: Pit of Teeth & Lower Lake

Encounter: Cult Assault Squad

Round One

Kurzon shoved his way through the group that crowded the tunnel leading up to the lower lake. He arrived just in time to watch as Mord hurled dark energy toward the cultists coming toward them. They screamed, lost in the inky blackness (or was it the blackness itself that screamed?)

Suddenly a horde of skeletons emerged from the waters of the lake. They rose up out of the water, one after another. In front was a large skeleton in furs, wielding a battle-axe and a warhammer. It bashed it's axe into Kurzon's shield with great force, and as it drove him back, it swung the hammer, cracking Kurzon in the head. The teeth chattered in a horrible mockery of laughter.

Guldred and his Lizard-folk jumped into the fray, fighting back the skeletons with great fury. Then Sesto came around the corner and prayed to Lathander, holding his holy symbol before him. There was a sudden flash of light and nearly all the skeletons were gone - at most a fine sprinkling of bone-dust on the water.

Kurzon growled as he was hit, these undead were annoying as they were blocking the way. One of them reminded him of Bob and he attacked it, trying to put right the foulness done to the former companion.

[sblock=action]

Attack vs bob skel first, if killed other one

OOC: sentinel attack [roll0] [roll1]

 

[Prickly Pear]

SnorLoska goes into a rage and moves past a lizardman to recklessly attack the skeleton in T17. With great fury, he smashes the skeleton to bits.

OOC: Bonus action: Rage Move to S16 First attack: Reckless attack (with rage, and damage): 2D20.HIGH(1)+7 = [3, 8]+7 = 15, 1D8+2+4 = [5]+2+4 = 11 Second attack: Reckless attack (with rage, and damage): 2D20.HIGH(1)+7 = [10, 2]+7 = 17, 1D8+2+4 = [4]+2+4 = 10 Extra poison damage from Assassin idol rune (unless immunity): Poison damage: 1D6 = [6] = 6, 1D6 = [5] = 5 Rages used: 1/4

Udit blinked - he did not expect that much oposition, nor such magical firepower on their side. Whatever Mord had done had effectively blocked the cultists to the south and the cleric's power had truly blunted the skeleton attack. Clever that, using those under water... not so clever when facing a cleric.

Udit grasped for an arrow in the near darkness. Thankfully, he had now a clear target - the mercenaries across the water were desperately trying to see what was going on and not thinking about their own safety. One of them had a bow... right. Arcing shot. Udit drew, slowly released a breath, and then let it fly.

Arching shot from the darkness , they can see it coming so advantage right?: 1D20+6 = [16]+6 = 22
1D20+6 = [2]+6 = 8


The arrow slammed into the archer

sneak attack vs archer over the water : 1D6+3+3D6 = [4]+3+[4, 4, 6] = 21


Udit crouched and shifted his position - gotta keep those archers guessing

OOC: Move 1 square south (M15) and use cunning action to maintain hiding

re-hiding after shot: 1D20+9 = [10]+9 = 19

Kurzon batters away at Bob's skeleton. Like the big man in life, his bones seem to be made from sterner stuff as it refuses to break apart.

SnorLoska, on the other hand, manages to keep his feet as he rushes along the slippery shore. In two swipes he smashes the skeleton in the water to bony fragments which sink into the dark water.

While working her way around the bend on the far shore, an accomplished archer mercenary spots SnorLoska in the light of her companion's lantern. She takes careful aim and releases an arrow, followed by another she releases quickly.

GM: Gone: Kurzon, SnorLoska, Archer Rolls:Attack: 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24 1D8+4+1D10 = [7]+4+[1] = 12 Attack: 1D20+6 = [19]+6 = 25 1D8+4 = [6]+4 = 10 Damage Taken: SnorLoska 22(11), Skeleton9 21 (Dead), BobSkel 10

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As the Archer continued to follow her men down the bank, an arrow came out of nowhere and slammed into her side. She cursed as her companions ducked (too late). Then with sheer grit, she snapped of the shaft and continued on, now favouring her other side.

Her companions, not seeing another target, returned fire by shooting crossbows at SnorLoska.

GM: Gone: Udit, Guards Rolls:Attack: 2D20.HIGH(1)+4 = [13, 14]+4 = 18 1D8+2 = [6]+2 = 8 2D20.HIGH(1)+4 = [2, 16]+4 = 20 1D8+2 = [2]+2 = 4 Damage Taken: Archer 21, SnorLoska 22(11)+8(4)+4(2)=17

Auraia activates her TremorSense (Bonus Action), now able to "see" those within 30 ft. Then she takes off into the air (movement, 1 Psi point per 20 feet) and flies straight towards the darkness, wanting to take advantage of her enemy's blindness. She lands quietly in the darkness, but knows where everyone is the moment she touches down. She fires her crossbow at one.

OOC: Attack: [roll0] Advantage: [roll1] Damage: [roll2]

Terrus, not to be outdone by his sister, also activates his Tremorsense, and then leaps after her (1psi point per 20 ft.) into the darkness, swinging his sword at the nearest enemy he can sense through the ground.

OOC: Attack: [roll3] Advantage: [roll4] Damage: [roll5]

OOC: oops. Every time. Terrus damage: [roll0]

Pyrus fires a firy blast at one of the men in the darkness (DC 14 dex Save or take [roll1] fire damage).

Aquaria shakes her head at her siblings, always wanting to get in close with their enemy, and launches a headache at any enemy she can see (DC 11 Int Save or take [roll2] psychic damage.)
