Our guest co-dm and die roller tonight will be Ezra.
I had an average group of five. Liu Feng (Luo) Elemental monk 13 Aasimar. Zephron Starwarden twilight cleric 13. Philip Druid 13 Tiefling. Geronimo barbarian 13 human.
Geronimo finds a secret tunnel um door and pushes through it. He dashes down he bowl depression and starts poking the tower of skulls. “Liu. I think one these move. Come here and see”.
Liu, “I don’t think that one moved.” Meanwhile they ignore the voice below the tower in the prisoner pit.
Voice, “That one moved.”
Voice 2, “No, the one to you right.”
Voice 3, “Your Military right!”
Voice 4, ‘get you hand out my mouth!”
Geronimo, “It done bit me.” Liu punches out the first flame skull. And the battle begins. Toll the dead goes off twice and Philip sickles hers.
Kharloss, “Help save us.”
Liu, “Why? I don’t know you.”
Kharloss, “We are quest items from Chapter two.”
Jarlee, “No it was from Chapter three. And mind the poison trap.” Liu punches out the second flame skull and runs to open air near the second fire bridge. Zephron spies the lever and shuts down part of trap. Philip takes out his flame skull. Ember sees the other lever and pulls it. They meet up with Liu.
Geronimo, “Are we forgetting something? That air was worst that a Marvin Fart.”
Kharloss, “Help save us.”
Liu, “Look I want take a nap, level up, and finish this dungeon tonight.”
Jarlee, “you get treasure if you rescue us.” The three prisoners were rescue and escorted to exit. Prisoner number 4 was left to his cultists fate.
The group peek around the fire bridge and see four salamanders, some fire snakes, up four waterfalls of lava steps is a young red dragon named Halinaxus. Liu flies over and starts talking to the kid dragon.
Liu, “What are your hiding behind your wings. Part the entrance to the boss fight. You did such a good job. You know once you told me your back story, I think you should join us in the upcoming boss battle. Vanfier was murder by us in session 22. You don’t want to be murdered, do you?”
Halinaxus, “I see you discovered my backstory well. But you will have to beat my dirty twenty.”
Liu, “All I got a is +2. So, 21.” Ezra just looks at her Nat 18 and wonders what happen. The dragon agrees and mentions the salamander and Efreeti from session 22. He does not mention the other encounters.
The flying eagle of Philip and Liu start the salamander fight. Which is going well until three hits and crit land on the druid. As she is making death saves a short discussion starts between Liu and Zephron on the best spell to save him.
Ember, “You heal him, I will heal him, and Liu will punch one of them out and then it will his turn again. He can take three hits if we do right.” One hit and a critical later Philip use his last shape shift of the day and flies to bridge. (Action economy and some short rest reset problems lead to some confusion of what was left for everyone to use at this part of the game.)
DM, “Look the Efreeti name from session 22, while I take three. Not finding. He is Chuckie then.”
Geronimo, “The one we who did the plate armour for my bear.”
DM, “Sure we go with that.”
Editor DM, “That was a different encounter. You never named the Efreeti and. MUSE put that hammer down.” THUMP. Muse, “Carry on writing DM. NOW!”
Geronimo, “Chuckie. Lot time not see. Did Marvin give you my gran gran gravy recipe. And I did like the buffing compound you gave me. It not as great as gran gran’s but.”
Chuckie, “Marvin was an orc, wasn’t he? I think I roasted him a week ago with a bunch of other orcs.”
Geronimo, “Has anyone seen Marvin? Any way you know we can take you, and we know some your backstory. So, join us for the fight. Persuasion right DM?”
Erza Dice Roller, “10 +2 is 12”.
Geronimo, “7 +6 is 13”. The seven to four odds don’t look good but Tier 3 crushes Tier 2 monsters. After a brief loot and sleep the group arrives at the air elemental node. The wind howls when the DM wants it too and occasionally makes it triple difficult terrain for fliers. Avoiding the spiders they find the glacier ice lake with an Italian looking chap buried under the ice.
Liu, “I use my flame fists to dig him out! Why is DM banging his head on the table?”
DM sighs, “Dante is a gentleman from a place called Italy and is serious freak out with your group.” After a half hour of talking to the npc and freaking him out as Liu is friend of Satan, the group move on.
The druid and barbarian smell the faint smell of poo. Instead of turning right they go investigate it. While they are discussing the various scat droppings, an air elemental flushes the temple above and coats the two with fresh poo.
Philip, “Why you do that?”
Air Elemental, “Why are you playing with poo and at the bottom of outhouse?”
Geronimo, “Why shouldn’t I punch you out?”
Philip, “Why not give us directions to the big boss. Persuasion 1 no modifiers.”
Air Elemental, “2 - 2 is zero. Why not try the right-hand tunnel you didn’t check out? And I can escape up the shaft. So, I going you the shaft. Bye!”
The group moves on into the stalagmite garden and into the mushroom garden. The druid spends ten minutes identifying the mushrooms. Geronimo is not happy because there are not happy making ones. They see a lake ahead of them and don’t know where to go.
Philip, “Speak with plants. You! Button you seen the big boss?”
Button, “Hey. He has taken a dump on me in a while but he came back the way you came. Not toward the lake. Not toward.”
DM, “um. Looking at the map you been drawing, the only route is through the gale tunnel. It is acrobatic 10 skill check.”
The group time their jumps well and when they land, nine air cultists are practicing their flying skills. Geronimo dons a flight suit and beats the sergeant while lapping Liu and the leader twice. Liu does get some clear instructions to boss.
Liu, “Damn it. The guy didn’t tell me about this intersection. Why are two prisoners dying? Why did we get a quest fail and what is happening”
Dm, “you just matched the persuasion roll. The prisoner was a quest from chapter 3. And the two demons are attacking you while invisible. Well, that didn’t last long.”
Group, “Why is the boss music starting?”
Liu, “I have my own boss theme. Hit it.”
Turning to second to last turn, the wind blows and the four minions trying to block the adventurers. No such luck. Fighting double triple difficult terrain Liu smartly drinks a potion of speed. He dashes into the boss chamber.
Yan-C-Bin, “Give us a kiss you beautiful hunk of man.”
Liu, “No. 22 beats your save.”
Yan-C-Bin, “Fine. You can’t hit my 22 AC. Hey no hitting when monologuing. Fine. Summon Air Elemental. Order the attacks on the barbarian carrying the relic. And HASTE. Beat my 24 AC.”
Geronimo. “Miss. Hit. Hit. Miss. Damage Reduction. You can’t touch me.”
Yan-C-Bin, “Ha my legendary has reset. Give me a kiss.”
Geronimo, “AN 8.”
Yan-C-Bin, “You fail you have ZERO HIT POINTS.” Geronimo shoves her finger up the monster’s nose.
Geronimo, “WRONG! Relentless RAGE. I have 1 hit point left. No. Make that 26 points.”
Yan-C-Bin, “You forgot one thing. My side goes before it will be your turn.” A few hits on the barbarian and a one heal. “Fracking die already.”
Geronimo, “You know something. While I will take three attacks of opportunity, if I go around, you guys. I am only 19 feet from the portal. 16 to hit with Wind Vane. The spear and boss are sucked through the portal.
Ember, “Surrender on my turn elementals.”
Elementals, “We tried but those meanies Liu punched us in the face and Geronimo shot me in the butt with a roman candle.”
That all folks.
