Magic Items. Periapt of Health

I had a very strong group of nine. Geff Warlock 3 Tabaxi. Robin Ranger 4 halfling. JD Wizard 4 gnome. Felonious Assault rogue 1 cleric 3 human. Mira Abberont Mind Sorcerer 3 elf. Zalramar Bard 1 Fire Goliath. Izzy evoker Wizard 3 Tiefling. Galloway Sorcerer 3 Tiefling.

LEAP SOUND.

AL in full admiral getup, “We have a new person in the chamber Gooshie. Are you Sam?”

Izzy, “Izzy the Magician.”

AL, “And you not a demon? And how did you get that cowboy hat over? Through your horns? Never mind! Gooshie said you were a dwarven team send in search of Brother Trasig. He went to check out a local quarry about a rumor of zombies. He and you never returned and two weeks later thousands of undead flooded out the quarry.” LEAP SOUND.

The quarry is built into the mountain. It is marble quarry in current use. Huge walls of marble are arranged like bad city blocks. Nine miners are still working the mine.

Izzy, “I thought the AL dude said something about zombies?”

Felonious, “Those five by the left block are zombies. The other four are not sure of. I heading for the shadows.”

JD, “What do guys attack, flank, run away.”

The foreman approaches Izzy, “UM. Um. UM. UM!” and gestures toward a clip board.

Izzy, “What do you want. Speak Common.”

JD, “What do guys attack, flank, run away.”

Foreman, “UM. Um. UM. UM!”

Izzy, “You want me to sign in?”

Foreman shakes his head yes and shoves the clipboard at Izzy, “UM. Um. UM. UM!” Izzy signs in and as she walks away she is handed a pick axe. The foreman approaches JD.

JD, “What do guys attack, flank, run away. What do you want?”

Foreman, “UM. Um. UM. UM!” waves the clipboard at JD.

JD, “See I working here. I am holding the wheelbarrow for the others here. Can’t you speak?”

DM, “No the foreman ghast has no tongue.” JD signs the clipboard. The foreman walks toward Mira who is looking at the first group of zombies.

Mira, “The two starting from the left aren’t Mr. T.” He quickly signs in on the clipboard.

Felonious, “Turn undead and only the one zombie runs away. I fade into the darkness.”

JD, “What do guys attack, flank, run away.”

Galloway, “The Foreman is not Mr. T. Maybe he deeper into the quarry.”

Zalramar, “The fourth zombie is not Mr. T.”

JD, “I don’t see Mr. T. I think we should attack.” Felonious starts the ball. Two ghasts take out Izzy and shuffle toward the group. While the group is taking care of ghouls and zombies, the foreman shoulders the dying Izzy over his shoulders and dunks behind a wall of marble. Felonious drops the ghast as Galloway runs up to attack from behind.

Galloway, “EW. Greasy Ghast Guns all over our wizard.” The group cleans up and JD sends his duck familiar to check out the rest of quarry. A wagon is being guard by three skeletons. A quick battle conference later. Galloway, Geff, and Zalramar are going up the center, and the rest will attach from above.

The second fight begins. The first skeleton drops immediately. The other takes damage as center group break cover. Galloway charges but slips on something, the woman inside the wagon is providing covering fire. The slip causes the shot to miss Galloway but hit Geff. The other skeletons drop but with no line of sight on the woman, the topside group start attacking the cover of the wagon.

Sarbrindar, “Die and join ORCUS, Ms. Galloway. Die and” and the wight is around long enough to get in a good monologue. Galloway finds a prayer bead smash on her shoe. The bead belongs to Brother T…

Group, “Mr. T”.

Following the trail to a secret chamber they find Mr. T body on the altar of Orcus. The freshly painted murals of failure make Izzy cry. While everyone is wondering what happen, Felonious gets a ghostly hug.

Ghostly, “She crying over her failure. Such a pity. You feel nice.”

Felonious, “No touching. I don’t know you sir. Show yourself.”

A succubus appears out the blue and hugs Felonious more. “We could kill your companions and make love on their bodies.”

Felonious, “One oversharing. Two Kinky but not my Kink. Three they not all my companions.” Having shaken off the failure aura, everyone but Izzy feels double strength. They attack.

Succubus, “naughty word that hurts. Spin with me darling.” She shapeshifts to an exact copy in the same square. With a different type of mirror image up the party is confused.

Geff, “What is my mother’s name.”

Felonious 1, “Your real mother or character’s mother?”

Zalramar, “What something I would know about you but the succubus won’t know?”

Felonious 2, “How would I know you just a new pc?”

Galloway, “Lighting damage coming on line for 41 points of damage.” The succubus drops.

Felonious, “How did you know?”

Galloway, “Got lucky. Besides. If dropped you we had three rounds to kill it and save you. If didn’t drop you, you would stab and nearly kill it. And if we divide our shots, we would drop both of you. Killing the succubus and giving you a healing potion. The DM wouldn’t do DM shenanigans when death on the line.

DM NOTES. This had great line of sight can be problems or solutions. But the monsters included did not have any real line of sight powers.

Adventures in Faerun Session 9

The Rushdown Well

Day 20 - 22

PC Killed 1 Monsters Killed 186 Villains Captured 1 Villains Escaped 6

Start Time 6:09 PM End Time 9:28 PM

Take 10 down time days. 100 GP. Take a level.

This is brought to by paw with claws. Paws with claws for that early morning wake up when pettings are needed. Try Paws with claws.

I had an average group. Robin Ranger 4 halfling. Keiko Samurai 4 human. Felonious Assault rogue 1 cleric 3 human. Zalramar Bard 3 Fire Goliath. Brooke Cleric 1 Aasimar.

DUNGEON MASTER, “Greeting kids.” Mumbles something about roller coasters and kids. “Nice to see you. You are being sent to help out Mayor Grel Shivven to help out against the Rust.” LEAP SOUND.

Brooke, “What is the RUST?”

Mayor, “We don’t know but it turns people, places, and things into rusted metal replicas of themselves. Mr. Gillian of the Moonshea Minnow will take you up river.”

Felonious, “Rowing up the river. Rowing up the river.” And the bard joins in. The group leaves for the harbor to see their captain being kidnapped by a wererat. As they enter the sewer, killing two giant rats; they see the wererat starting a machine which looks like something an artificer.

Felonious, “HOLY Galloping gears for gun a din Bard we need to stop in two rounds.”

Zalramar, “I thought the DM said three.” The group slays rats along the way and takes out the machine. It appears a drop of the solution they were given cleans the sewer. Gillian gets on the boats and starts polling them up river.

Felonious, “Poling up the river. Poling up the river.” And the bard joins in. The next midmorning they spy five Kuo-toa approaching the boat. With not communication possible, the fish people attack. Keiko learns the Undercommon word for land sushi as she is tossed into the river. She cuts herself loose and gets back on the boat. While this was happening, the group captured the leader and killed off the guards.

Making land fall at Bregonshire, they are able to get a translator. The Kuo-toa are upset about the artificer fertilizers. The group talk to farmers and fish people until midnight and deal is brokered. No fertilizers and no attacks.

The next morning, they head out to find the artificer. As get into the farm, they hear voices from the barn, and smell the artificer’s morning coffee. (MORNING COFFEE BROUGHT TO YOU by Claws with Paws for that early morning wake up.) Robin peeks into the barn and see six guards.

Robin, “Why can’t they be ducks. See six ducks are already on the board. The black one is Darkwing, this is Huey, Dewy and Lewy. That on is…”

Felonious, “Duck duck go. Duck duck go. You quack me up in the day light.” And the bard joins.

BOOK, “I SAID GUARDS. G. U. A. R. D. Change it back. I demand you change it back.” The DM looks around the crazy eyes at the table. The artificer comes out of his house with his morning coffee.

Artificer, “Leave my ducks alone. How can I be a service to you fine people.” He is covered in rust and aluminum.

Felonious singing, “Aluminum, aluminium, one the British likes the other Americans think bright.” And the bard joins in.

Keiko talks to the artificer with no hope while Robin makes friends with Darkwing the artificer mechanical duck. The talks don’t go well except for getting the location of the poison well. The fight begins and Robin takes four ducks.

Robin, “DIE PEKING DUCK. NO SAUCE FOR YOU! Come to my arms Darkwing, and we with fly from this quacked-up place.” They eat a second breakfast of the artificer’s coffee, jam, and toast and move on.

Arriving at the Moonwell, the evil druid and foes are waiting. Three scouts come out their shacks to try to stop the heroes but heroes got to hero.

Rusted Warrior Veteran, “Someone will die.”

Felonious, “Is that is die like death becomes me. Or dye with y like the dyeing eggs for the grandkids?” Even the bard looks sided at her.

Rusted Warrior Veteran, “Die Keiko. 19 and 18. Does clear up the matter. Focus fire if you can my scouts, dogs, and guards.” Keiko charges the two front scouts wounding the both. The third falls back. The dogs flank Keiko.

Rusted Warrior Veteran, “Someone will die. Today. Focus fire Keiko.”

Dice, “NOPE. Nope. Okay barely a hit. Nope. Good one.” Brooke is fighting and taking cover behind the first shack, in the first shack, and then second shack.

Rusted Warrior Veteran, “Someone will die. Today. Focus fire Robin.”

Dice, “Hit. Miss. Hit. Miss. And Miss.”

Robin, “I have 16 hp left DM.”

DM, “Well I can’t take you out.”

Dice, “NAT 20 and 18+”. Robin falls bleeding out. Mr. Happy skateboards on to the scene. Brook wounds the last guard. Keiko wounds he Rusted Warrior Veteran.

Felonious, “I have cure light wounds. Or healing word.”

Brooke, “I have healing word and a potion. Do you want to do or shall I?”

Felonious, “I don’t really care. But this is the first time of you playing a cleric. Do you want to do it?”

Brooke, “I am okay with doing.”

Mr. Happy, “WHAT DOES MATTER? Robin rolls next roll that beautiful death save.”

Robin, “8 and 1 from bless makes 9. One failure.” The cleric and Felonious move to cast healing. “NOPE NO HEALING!”

Group, “WHAT. What?”

DM, “WHAT?”

Robin, “Every since I have seen Skully, I been my on my bucket list to get my name on Skully! No healing. Let me die. Let the dice decide.”

SKULLY, “COOL I GETTING THE CHICKS!”

Rusted Warrior Veteran, “Someone will die. Today. Focus fire Robin. Dammit guard you were supposed to hit. Miss. A miss from 15 feet away. HIT!”

The bard slides into Robin fallen form, and pops a potion of healing. Robin, “Nat 1. You sing off key bard!” Darkwing goes crazy and pecks the Rusted Warrior Veteran to death. They pour the potion into the well curing the rust.

DM Notes. Okay, I think some my players had too much Easter Chocolate before the game. I am sticking with that. This session brought to you by paw with claws. Paws with claws for that early morning wake up when pettings are needed. Try Paws with claws.
