Servants/Familiars Gerald (Bat/Giant Bat) servant/mount of New Tricks Owly (Owl) Vinnie’s familiar[/B] This is session 58, and this one went beyond being 'a cracker', way beyond, you know how it is sometimes when things just go... swimmingly. But, to be honest- it was all down to luck, serendipity, and a little quick thinking- at least for the bit of this session that I most enjoyed. There's a lot of this one however, so- this is just the first bit. The date is Eighth-day, 8th Mirtul, 1493 Year of the Purple Dragons The time is 18:08 PM And we're in a finale, of sorts. On a storm tossed hill in the Dreadwood, home to a bunch of Talos worshipping half-orcs (now deceased) that were in the process of summoning an avatar of the Storm Lord- Garthok the Thunder Boar. And so... On top of the hill, within a summoning circle of standing stones, Ramshambo tries in vain to keep a badly wounded but still terrifying (and enormous) shambling mound at bay- with his rapier and dagger. The rogue is also being pressed on all sides by twig blights- he's surrounded. Oh and he's being grappled by the giant plant monster, and is already well beyond bloodied. But where's his sidekick, the ever dependable Daktari? Well, the barbarian is fighting the good fight from inside the aforementioned shambling mound- he's also being grappled, and he's restrained, and is effectively fighting blind. But that's hardly likely to stop the frenzied, reckless and raging Sky Pony Uthgardt barbarian. Point of fact within the shambling mound has proven to be the safest place on the battlemap, Daktari has to make a constitution save to avoid a bunch of crushing/bludgeoning damage every turn. He's not failed this once, and he's been in there for the last three turns, as I say- safe as houses. Of course, the barbarian has to get out of the plant monstrosity before he runs out of breath. But, he's Daktari. Daktari: I cut off your Body! That's right- he's special sauce. The combatants here, of course, have no idea what's going on down the bottom of the hill, I mean- they can hear Vinnie screaming (just, above the clashing storm), but that's about all. And so, down the bottom of the hill Vinnie, who has latterly turned into the Moonboar (see last session for not much of an explanation) is facing off against Garthok the Thunder Boar, avatar of Talos. Garthok is a twelve foot tall at the shoulder boar, of immense proportions (obviously), the beast's tusks are bathed and crackle with lightning, its hooves when they crash into the earth send out thunderous shockwaves. In truth the fight is a bit of a mismatch, a David versus Goliath, if you like. My money's on the young contender, I've had my finger's burnt before- never bet against the Dark Squad, but here's the thing- Vinnie is bloodied, and the Moonboar is the second wildshape form that he has taken. Vincen G Squeezy Snake lasted maybe three turns. Garthok has just short of 200 hit points left, he started with maybe 250, he's only just broken a sweat. But, Vinnie has help, maybe... the help takes the form of a tanarukk demon summoned for the purpose by Newt. Alas the new demonic hire is just about bloodied too, and Newt's continued mental control of the fiend depends on the creature failing a saving throw every turn. He likes to roll the dice does Newt, although truth be told the tabaxi warlock is standing in a protective circle of gnoll's blood- if the demon runs amok, which he's very aware can happen, then- he's safe. He's a team player is Newt. Oh, last bit of the set up- Newt can see what's going on up the hill- with Ram and the shambling mound et al, but the Moonboar versus Garthok is mostly happening behind a stand of trees and thick vegetation. We got through twelve turns of combat in the last session, here's the rest. Newt keeps blasting the shambling mound. Ram keeps on stabbing the shambling mound. Daktaris keeps on struggling and slicing, from within, at... the shambling mound. And... the huge plant monster eventually totters and falls- and scrambling his way free from the foetid plant stink and gunk is... Daktari! “How iz my hair? Do not lie to me, Ram.” Is, of course, barbarian's primary concern. Meantime the twig blights keep on clawing at the rogue, the next one with a crit. Down the hill Moonboar-Vinnie sets about Garthok with his maul, and then butts and bites at the huge beast with his tusks, and then... he turns tail and flees to hide behind a hefty rock. [ATTACH type="full"]141717[/ATTACH] [B]He's a smart lad is Vinnie, keep away from Garthok.[/B] Garthok aids Moonboar-Vinnie's retreat by blasting/punting the druid with his lightning tusks, for 28 damage in total- blimey, that hurt. Meantime the tanarukk keeps on hacking at Garthok's rear, although the demon- after his initial tough guy macho frenzy (last session)- is now questioning the wisdom of his current situation. The demon is screaming at Newt. “Release me master! Release me, the mighty beast (Garthok) is beyond my power! Help me, master?” Alas 'master' Newt is having none of it- “You are serving your purpose. Shut up with your mewling and fight on!” Ram deftly avoids (evasion) a lightning bolt that slams down from the Talos storm overhead, and then gets critted again by another twig blight- it's how the rogue rolls. Ram's on approx. 10 hit points. Back down the hill and Garthok the Thunder Boar, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, elects to ignore the hiding druid, and instead concentrate its efforts on destroying the demon that keeps stabbing it in the arse. The great beast tusks (with added lightning strike) the tanarukk, the demon staggers from the hit- bloodied and beyond, it continues screaming at 'master' to release him. That's not going to happen. Garthok slams it thunderous hooves onto the tanarukk which has very suddenly got fewer hit points than Ram, although- miraculously, it somehow survives the onslaught. It pleads some more with its 'master'. But now 'master' is just getting angry, particularly about having to remind the recalcitrant demon to use its Unbridled Fury (reaction) to attack Garthok some more. The tanarukk crits the avatar of Talos, and then rolls high for its damage. Garthok is suddenly on less than 100 hit points. Note, at this point Newt has seen the Moonboar run away from Garthok- and has identified the beast as being Vinnie, the creature is after all wearing the druid's clothes. The warlock is also aware that his summoned greater demon, the tanarukk, is at death's door (as it were). So, the tabaxi blasts a couple of the twig blights up the hill still hassling Ram and Daktari, and then screams to let the pair know what's going on down the hill- “The avatar of Talos is here! It's a massive lightning spewing boar! It's down there!” The tabaxi points, and then immediately dives into the nearest, and densest, swathe of concealing vegetation, this still could go south very quickly, he figures. [ATTACH type="full"]141718[/ATTACH] [B]Newt hides in a bush, Ram's heading straight to the action.[/B] Ram and Daktari, no time for healing, cut through the last of the twig blights and then begin the charge down the hill. They're not short of guts the pair. Moonboar-Vinnie, from behind his rock, launches a Moonbeam down on Garthok, and then rolls one short of maximum damage. Garthok shudders as the radiance hits, the great beast almost misses its step. The tanarukk, while pleading with its master, continues to attack Garthok- and the demon's first strike is yet another crit. The tanarukk for MVP? Although, just to make clear Garthok has resistance against the tanarukk's attacks, so- only half damage. Master Newt, doesn't bother replying to the demon's exhortations- he's staying quiet, and still- he's hidden in a bush. It's worth mentioning that even Moonboar-Vinnie is pleading the demon's case with Newt, although- and again, Newt's keeping quiet. “I av never felt zorry fur a de-mon be-for!” The druid offers. The tanarukk fails his next saving throw to break free of Newt's control with a '1', that's an adjusted '0'. The storm sends down another bolt of lightning to add to the mix. It hits the tanarukk, of course. “AAAaaaaaarrrggghhhh! MASTER! PLEASE, IT HURTS US- IT HURTS US REAL BAD! Maaaaassssssssssttttuuuurrrrr!!!!” That kind of thing. It's just not the tanarukk's day. Remarkably the demon survives the lightning strike- on 3 hit points. “MASSSSSSTTTERRRRR!!! PLEEEEEEEEASE!” But too late. Garthok the Thunder Boar skewers the tanarukk on one of its great tusks, and then shivers the demon full of lightning, until... well, the summoned fiend fades and is gone- screaming all the way back to Hellgate Keep. The great boar however isn't finished, it trots forward- this after spotting Moonboar-Vinnie, the great beast manoeuvres to get a clear strike, and then launches a lighting bolt from between its sparking tusks. Moonboar-Vinnie takes the full hit, and is heavily wounded in an instant. Newt however can now see Garthok, the warlock (I told you he was a team player) rushes from his hiding place and fires a pair of Belphegor blasts into the giant beast. [ATTACH type="full"]141719[/ATTACH] [B]Newt carries on blasting, note Ram & Daktari are hidden from Newt's sight- behind the tree.[/B] Then, Ram charges the rest of the way down the hill- using every bit of movement he has, and an inspiration point, to stick Deadend- his magical rapier, into the flank of the beast. Daktari? He does the same, and the hits keep on coming for Garthok. Daktari: I am Daktari! I am Killing You! But not yet, the avatar of Talos is bruised, bloodied and battered, and yet it still stands. Then Moonboar-Vinnie steps out from behind his rock, swiftly shapechanges (not wildshapes) into boar form, paws the earth once or twice- mostly for effect, snorts, and then... charges. Smashing into the staggering monstrosity as it too puts its head down ready to make it's own charge... Garthok the Thunder Boar, Avatar of Talos- beloved of the Storm Lord- collapses and dies. And is instantly consumed entirely (or else just gone) in the largest and loudest lightning strike that any of the members of the Dark Squad have ever seen. Moonboar-Vinnie and Daktari are also badly flash burnt by the static burst. The fight however, is over. Daktari collapses- exhausted. “I am sleep now!” [Garthok and friends 7100 XP] Ram sprawls, barely conscious, while Newt sets about preening and cleaning his fur- the warlock took four points of damage somewhere in that fight- shocking. Moonboar-Vinnie however isn't done- he has questions, and so he shapechanges back into his hybrid form to ask them. He also steps into the centre of his own Moonbeam spell (he's immune to radiant damage) and then shouts into the storm... “Who are you? What has happened to me? What do you want of me?” And a few other very similar questions, but you get the drift. The answer comes back, in the same sing-song female voice in the druid's mind- “You will find your answers at the Moon Pool, my hero. But you should know my dear Vincenzo, you- above all others- have been chosen. Yours is a difficult path, others have failed before you... And yet you must succeed, else there will be nothing left to see, even in the dark.” [Vinnie keeps asking questions- excellent work 300 XP] Just to note, the Moonboar is statted, pretty much, as a Wereboar, and looks very similar. The Moonboar however is not a lycanthrope, and that's pretty much all that Vinnie knows. But that's enough for the first part of this session, the next bit is the best bit- it'll be with you in a short while. Stay safe and well. The Dark Squad and goonalan. [/QUOTE]
