If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Martial Arts Class: Monk At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield: You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons. You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. Certain monasteries use specialized forms of the monk weapons. For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a sickle with a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama). Whatever name you use for a monk weapon, you can use the game statistics provided for the weapon. abjuration 1 Components: V, S, M SPELL SAVE DC: 0 GeigerCounter (GM): abjuration 1 Components: V, S, M SPELL SAVE DC: 0 abjuration cantrip Components: V, S, M SPELL SAVE DC: 0 abjuration cantrip Components: V, S, M SPELL SAVE DC: 0 For Description Only Produce Flame conjuration cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: S Duration: 10 minutes A flickering flame appears in your hand.

Denon F.:shosh Renith Riverhold:it works, GeigerCounter (GM):Alright. We're back at the tavern. Yorden sent a letter by courier to Renrith, informing her that he would probably not make it to the meeting as he had an unexpected visitor. The mysterious tall stranger in dark clothes is nowhere to be seen and neither is Charolette. Fia isn't manning the bar either and it's unusually quiet and tense in the tavern today. What do you do? Denon F.:Iskir looks a bit on edge, almost visibly nervous. He absolutely hates the lack of "security", as it were. He'd mutter to himself as he sat at one of the tables. "Ah' don't like this...." Renith Riverhold:Renith knew that there was a chance that some folks would drop out of this impromptu party as we only had the common goal of coin. She looks over to Iskir, "nothing to fear, you traveled alone to get here, now there are more. Lets go visit the (point of contact) that the kobold cap was leading us to. GeigerCounter (GM):( Janusz Morgenstern ) Denon F.:He'd sigh heavily, grabbing his axe and resting it on his shoulder "Aye..." GeigerCounter (GM):Anyone else have anything to say or do? Renith Riverhold:(I believe all was said and done last time) Vargyr:Vargyr would shrug "Might as well" Tom H.:Teddy gives a small nod, with his ears twitching as an excited gleaming shows in his eyes. GeigerCounter (GM):The door opens and in walks the somewhat awkward guard guy from the other day. He approaches the table directly and addresses you all Mordechai Morgenstern:Hey, are you those people who were in here yesterday with that weird girl? You are, aren't you? Denon F.:The Duergar would qqirk a scarred brow "....Aye?" Renith Riverhold:describe.. weird?" she says giving the odd make up of our group and all that were here yesterday Mordechai Morgenstern seems confused by Renrith's question and just in general Mordechai Morgenstern:The... I don't know. The weird one in furs? GeigerCounter (GM):This doesn't narrow things down much as most everyone is wearing furs. Renith Riverhold:well there were a few females here, was she one of the staff, or their family, I know this bunny here was captivating one of the little ones Mordechai Morgenstern:No, not Lia. I know her. The one who was making a scene. She had... Mordechai gestures to his face the scars. That one. Have you seen her today? GeigerCounter (GM):He's talking about Charolette. Renith Riverhold:(I know) Ah yes.. I remember seeing her though I do not know where she has run off to now. Denon F.:Iskir looked down, shifting his weight slightly "Aye, same here." Mordechai Morgenstern looks a little worried by this answer Renith Riverhold:she seemed concerned over her sister in the forest.. and recent disappearances in the local populous though she was admittedly opposed to going into the forest alone.. so perhaps she has taking some of the others that were here and ventured off to find her sibling. Mordechai Morgenstern:Yes! That is what my uncle has heard. He sent me to try and find her, but I can't find her. He told me to hurry here. Please, would you come with me to see him? Renith Riverhold:perhaps, who are you again? and who is your uncle? Mordechai Morgenstern:Oh, yes. Yes. I am Mordechai, I am volunteered to the City Guard by my Great-uncle Janusz Morgenstern. Our company hires men and women to work as guards and mercenaries. We're the best at it of the competition, but we've not got enough people right now. I was in here yesterday looking for strong looking people to tell them about the job he needs doing, but he said it was more important that I get you all and the girl with the scars about this rumour that his kobold told him about. He was very scared and when he came in, he brought his family and they haven't left the Morgenstern Manor since then, so Uncle's very worried. Renith Riverhold:she looks to the party, or whats left of the party, "shall we?" Denon F.:He'd nod, pulling his cloak over his head. Vargyr:"Lead the way" Mordechai Morgenstern nods GeigerCounter (GM):You all get up and follow him out. You are now in a cobblestone street where the locals are eyeing you with far more caution and suspicion than usual, but still going about their usual business. There are whispers going around person to person. A few men enter the tavern as you leave and you pass by a greengrocer's stall selling mostly cabbage and potatoes. Mordechai leads you down the street and everyone in the party is eyeing the town. Would anyone like to investigate anything or would you all like to proceed directly to the office? Renith Riverhold:(I would like to keep an ear out for what might be said about us in those whispers, perception check?) GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, roll one. You can also roll Insight if you have better proficiency in that. Renith Riverhold: 19 PERCEPTION (6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):That'll do. You all notice mothers keeping their kids close to them and not letting go of their hands. Would anyone else like to act or make checks? Denon F.:Iskir silently followed, his axe still resting on his shoulder. He kept his head down as he walked, trying to seem inconspicuous....despite the greataxe he was carrying GeigerCounter (GM):lol Roll Insight please, Iskir. Renith Riverhold:Renith leans over to the hare, "you seem to be drawing the attention of the crowd, is this normal for a bard like you?" Iskir: 3 Insight(+1) Iskir Denon F.:HAH I ain't seen shit Renith Riverhold:(greataxe blade blocks your view of everything) GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir genuinely can't tell what the people are thinking and worries that the whispers are the people turning against them. Vargyr:(I'll see what they might be whispe4ing) GeigerCounter (GM):Roll perception, please. Vargyr: 15 11 PERCEPTION (3) Denon F.:(Word) GeigerCounter (GM):That'll do. Incoming whisper. Vargyr:(Idk why ir rolls like that) GeigerCounter (GM):( It's rolling with advantage for some reason. ) Vargyr:(Is there a way o turn that off?) GeigerCounter (GM):( Probably, I'll look at it later. ) Renith Riverhold:you need to click on the gear, then in the far upper right there is a thing where you can set things to toggle like advantage and whispering to gm GeigerCounter (GM):( For now, I'm taking the 15. ) Renith Riverhold:the gear on your char sheet Teddy:Teddy shakes his head, as if coming out of a stupor, before looking over to Renith. "I suppose I draw a crowd from time to time... I think it's the fashion sense. An outfit like this took a fair bit of work to get right." Renith Riverhold:the gear next to spells, then beneath character sheet type PC, there is roll queries, change to advantage toggle, then whisper rolls to gm, whisper toggle. slips back into character Vargyr:Vargyr would smirk at the last part and keep walking Denon F.:Iskir quirks a brow at Teddy. He'd look his outfit over, up and down, and wonder why topsiders sometimes have such eye-blindingly garish outfits Renith Riverhold:"oh? do you tailor your own clothes?" she says as she follows our guide continuing to keep an ear out for more information about the murders, if anything so that she has at least some bases when we reach our destination. GeigerCounter (GM):Renrith and Vargyr: Roll Insight to see if you can glean any information about the murders from the gossip. Renith Riverhold: 25 INSIGHT (6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):Well then. Teddy:Teddy gestures down to his robes with a flourish of his hand. The colors shift quickly between a myriad of vibrant colors. "Among other things." He says with a tinge of amusement in his voice. Renith:shhh, the potatoes are whispering to the cabbages Renith Riverhold:I am sure given time and with group cohesion, you could make talborts or banners made for the party.. assuming we get enough renown to warrant it. Teddy:(For sure) Teddy gives a soft hum. "You know, I'd never considered it, but it is an interesting possibility." Denon F.:(Renith with the fat 19) (Her Elf ears hear everything) Renith Riverhold:She looks a bit curious and a bit angered as her ears twitch at what she is able to deduce from the den of whispers flowing around us like a school of fish. She begins to formulate questions to ask this uncle while we continue to our destination. GeigerCounter (GM):After a few more turns and more of the same in terms of the locals talking, they group passes by an alleyway where nearly forty kobolds in slightly ragged clothes are lounging around talking in Draconic. Many of them go silent as they notice the party and stare at them silently as they pass, Renith Riverhold:(Not sure its been said but seeing as we are walking through town.. what makes up the majority of the population) (dragon alley) GeigerCounter (GM):Dark-haired humans are the visiible majority, but kobolds outnumber them technically, they just aren't often as publicly visible, which is why the kobold alley is noteworthy enough to notice. There are some lighter haired humans and elves both light haired and dark. There are also some dwarves and drow, but not many and anything else is probably a traveler such as yourselves and rare enough to be of note. The humans seem to avoid the drow a bit, especially with the murder rumours. Renith Riverhold:(kobold slums, dangerous and trap filled) GeigerCounter (GM):( Maybe, maybe. But if nobody speaks draconic - and iirc nobody with the party rn does, then we're moving on. ) Denon F.:(I can speak.....Common and Dwarvish) (Lol) Renith Riverhold: LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY Elven, common, halfling GeigerCounter (GM):Mordechai finally leads you to a fairly impressive stone building, about three floors high with a stained glass window of a bright star. There is an inscription chiseled in stone above the entrance in Common, Mierish ( another human language which is the native language here ), and Elvish that reads, "Morgenstern & Sons: Men at Arms and Securities Company". As he leads you through the dark-stained oaken doors you enter into a carpeted foyer with two staircases leading to a landing on the second floor and two more leading to a third. Mordechai tells the guardsmen that he has brought who his Uncle is looking for and they nod at him. He leads you up both flights of stairs and knocks on the door. A booming voice answers in Mierish and Mordechai responds, then translates into Common and says, "You can go in." You all enter in to a nicely furnished office. A man who looks about 60 sits at a sturdy looking desk and reclines in a comfy but heavy chair. A guard relaxes in a wooden chair by the bookshelves while another stands behind the man. An elderly tabaxi wizard is crouched by a wooden globe that rests in a stand that holds it about three feet from the floor and is turning it slowly examining it with curiosity and slight amusement. The elderly man's expression is grave and before his desk stands the kobold you met the other day and shared food with before he ran off. Iskir and Teddy both take a spot on one of the two sofas by the walls, Iskir resting an arm on his axe which he has propped up by the handle. Teddy seems relatively relaxed. Renith and Vargyr remain standing for the moment and approach the desk as the elderly man beckons them forward. Janusz Morgenstern:Salutations, I am Master Janusz Morgenstern. You are the travellers who my good friend kobold has told me about, yes? What are your names? I make it a point to not do business with someone whose name I cannot curse if they double-cross me. GeigerCounter (GM):( I think the music stopped when I reloaded to check what things look like for you, so new track. Also please ignore the guards' lack of transparency. :D ) Vargyr:"Name's Vargyr, of Vargyr Investigations" Teddy:(I like the new music) Denon F.:Iskir lowered his hood, a tired look on his face "Iskir." Renith Riverhold:"Cursing someone takes a lot more effort and not to mention sours the soul, when you could simply just uses your influence to black list people and spread the word of their bad business as folks of a certain line of work tend to linger in the same circles.. But all that aside, I am Renith" given she is in her twilight robes she hopes her inference is all in good nature Janusz Morgenstern he smirks a bit at this response and nods at Renith, he is writing your names in a log book as you give them. Teddy:Teddy gives a small bow of his head. "Theodore Cottontail, at your service. Storyteller, Poet, Bard." A smile rests on his face as he looks past the threats. Not the first time he'd faced curses on the road. Janusz Morgenstern Janusz nods at Teddy Janusz Morgenstern:I do love the services of a bard, but now is not the time for festivities. Has Mordechai told you all why you are here? Janusz Morgenstern turns to Vargyr and focuses his gaze on him as the question lingers in the air Vargyr:"Something about a Kobold being scared" Janusz Morgenstern:It is not that my good friend is scared, it is why. He has brought his family here for protection in a panic. I permit it because his family are under my protection, but I cannot house all of the city in my manor. It is a place of business and it is too small besides. The news has already spread among the smallfolk and they are here petitioning my good friend to have him beg me to let them stay. I will not, but I would have them be safe. Nor are these the first reports of such. There have been rumours but few know the truth of it. Renith Riverhold:is it something to do with the rumors of murder? Janusz Morgenstern looks towards Renith and nods Janusz Morgenstern:Indeed so. People have gone missing in the woods, in the caves, and in the city. This is not completely unusual. The caves claim at least a few travellers every year and there is always risk of beasts and brigands in the forest. But the city is usually a safe haven. We have crime, yes. Kidnappings, as well. But it's rarely murder and nothing the town guard cannot resolve. Renith Riverhold:sounds like the town guard are falling behind if you are interested in hiring mercenaries to solve the problem.. Janusz Morgenstern laughs at this Janusz Morgenstern:I knew you were new here. Nearly all the guardsmen are mercenaries. It is a good business and there's healthy competition, but our company is clearly the best in the city with clients throughout the kingdom. But... You see... This has been a particularly busy year. There have been raids in the east again, but all the while more and more have been flocking here to try and find their fortunes in the caves of the Scar. Worse still and why I have a particular interest in this, my own son Kostek has disappeared... This is not the work of a common criminal. My elder son Casimir has been searching and cannot attend to business for worry for his brother. The whole family is affected and it does not do for us to let a competitor rescue him. Janusz Morgenstern sighs Janusz Morgenstern:... If he yet lives... Janusz Morgenstern eyes the investigator again Vargyr:"Well, mate sounds like you got a load of probelms. What exactly do you want us to do?" Denon F.:Iskir looked down, fiddling with the edge of his cloak ".....S'pose we could do somethin' about it." Renith Riverhold:hmms.. "so has any information come forward like a ransom, or have any of your "healthy competition" changed their activities as of late?" Janusz Morgenstern:None. That's what concerns me. Kidnapping is not usually done on grown men and is most often done for a ransom by a typical thuggish lout who just needs some coin. We are not above paying a ransom if it is kept secret. To hear nothing for weeks and there having been no body... Renith Riverhold:This missing person is of course affecting your business and thus your bottom line, naturally it might have something to do with your competitors as well as any enterprising local wanting to make a coin the illegal way if you have paid ransom in the past, it means you are willing to do so again and again.. have you investigated the previous perpetrators? Janusz Morgenstern:It would be an unusual thing for legitimate competition to do. We have to respect rule of law to uphold it and what is done to us would be met with retaliation if it were done by other legitimate companies. We have been policing the streets as best as we can and have already questioned the local criminal elements. We have even sent out spies amongst the kobolds and asked the clergy of that Drow temple. No new drow has come up from the Underdark that we know of, but that would be my most reasonable suspicion at this point. Janusz Morgenstern turns again to Vargyr Janusz Morgenstern:As per what you can do for me. I have a job that needs doing and not enough men to spare. This hear catfolk man is a very honoured guest. Would you introduce yourself? Efra Mews spins the globe, now clearly playing with it and has been for about half of the current conversation Efra Mews:No, I'm fine. Janusz Morgenstern:... Well, he is a most esteemed client. He is a researcher from the Great City of Nes. The influence of their king is great and they have one of the most renowned places of learning in the world, sadly eclipsing even our own capitol's university. He is here to research a particular cave in the Scar which is famous for having large quartz crystals which glow increasingly bright until a full moon. I do not see it as more than a curiosity, myself, but it is of interest to students of the Arcane, or so he says. Efra Mews:Well how does the adage go? "Curiosity made glad the cat"? I believe it is a natural magical wonder and I am categorizing those for my latest encyclopedia on commission of the Princes of Lugal. Janusz Morgenstern:To the point: He needs an escort into the caves to conduct his research safely. There have already been two parties of curiosity seekers who have gone missing in the caves. They are near the surface and had been one of the safer caves before now. Renith Riverhold:I suppose this will gain you a bit of income needed to sustain the continued search for your lost loved one, but we are, as you put it, mercenaries. What will we receive upon completion of this escort venture? Janusz Morgenstern chuckles Janusz Morgenstern:Even more to the point, yes. Well if coin is what you're after, this job pays well. I take a percentage of what his benefactors have sent him with and the rest will be split evenly among you. I can also furnish the supply expenses if you bring me receipt of sale it will be reimbursed. I can also make a small allowance in advance once the contract has been accepted, but no more than ten silver pieces per each of you. I can't have new hires running away with the purse, you understand. Vargyr:"As long as yu hold up your end then, doens't sound bad to me" Renith Riverhold:of course," she then looks towards the catfolk knowing full well the ease it takes to get their focus and the troubles of maintain said focus.. "Mr Mews, what can you tell us about the area and environment of these crystals so that we can better prepare for the journey ahead. Efra Mews:Hmm... Well I've never been there myself! Efra Mews laughs heartily Efra Mews:It is supposedly a cavern that used to be used as a place of worship a couple centuries ago. The crystals there glow with a purple light by some unknown magics tied to the moon cycle and it was an important place to worshippers of Selune for that reason. I suppose they thought that it was the blessing of Selune that illuminated the cave, but I have other ideas. Anyway, it's been abandoned for some time and no one seems to know why. It's been the play-place of adventurers. Ah if I were just 40 years younger, I'd go there by myself to brave it because it sounds like an excellent addition to my travel diary. It's quite extensive, you know. I suppose even tired old eyes can write about exciting places. If I'm not mistaken, aren't you a Cleric of Selune yourself? Renith Riverhold:Yes though not affiliated with any local temples Efra Mews nods Efra Mews:Well, I shall try to avoid damaging any sacred artifacts should we come across any then. Efra Mews winks Janusz Morgenstern clears his throat to interrupt before Renith can answer Janusz Morgenstern:And if you can find my son there and bring him back to my alive, I will pay you each 100 gold pieces. Half that if you can only recover him dead. Denon F.:"......I'd rather we bring 'im back alive." Janusz Morgenstern nods to Iskir with a small, but genuine smile Renith Riverhold:what makes you believe he might be there, was he part of a previous escort down there? Janusz Morgenstern:Truthfully, he wasn't, but at this point we have searched the city about as thoroughly as we can. If there's a chance... It's worthwhile to me to offer a reward. He is my son, after all. Renith Riverhold:My mother did always say lost things are always in the last place you look. Janusz Morgenstern nods again Janusz Morgenstern:Also... I would have you take Cap here with you. Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern snaps to attention at this Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern hisses lowly before starting to complain in draconic. Renith Riverhold:(ooc does cap know common, I want to say he does but I dont remember) GeigerCounter (GM):( He's not fluent in speaking Common, but he can understand it perfectly well. He mostly speaks the kobold dialect of draconic. He can speak enough Common to get by when he needs to. ) Cap and Janusz have a tense conversation with Cap speaking in Draconic and Janusz in Mierish, which the party cannot understand. After a while Janusz seems to settle the matter with a very grave statement that the party can recognize as an order even if they cannot understand the exacts. Cap looks at his feet and walks over to Teddy. Janusz Morgenstern:There. He will go with you. Bring him back alive, he is honourary family. Renith Riverhold:she looks to Teddy, "it would be good to have someone who can identify him should we find anything" Teddy:Teddy looks Cap up and down, before reaching out a hand for them to shake. "A good thought, that." He says in agreement with Renith. "As long as he keeps a calm head about him." Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern nods at Teddy GeigerCounter (GM):Is there anything more that anyone would like to discuss with Janusz or Efra or do while in the office? Vargyr:(I'm good) Denon F.:(Same) Renith Riverhold:(ooc quietly eyes the elephant in the room that is the teddy bear) GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, we're wrapping up the RP part of the session. Janusz has just a few more things to say. How are you guys feeling about how this went? And are y'all up to try the test combat? Lol Yeah, he's got grandchildren who leave their toys in the office sometimes. Iskir:(I think it went well! I need to decompress a bit so I prob can't do test combat, but you and I have already gone over that ourselves, so the others can) GeigerCounter (GM):Righto Let me just finish up the RP then Iskir:(Also I apologize for Iskir's relative quietness) Renith Riverhold:(I dont need to test combat, I am good with roll 20) Vargyr:(Now That I have figured out why advantage was alwas on I know how o do roll 20 combat) Janusz Morgenstern:(I see. Well I could still use some input on combat preferences and style of running combat at some point. That's more the point of it than just practice. I also figured you might find it fun since we haven't rolled hardly any dice so far. ) Janusz Morgenstern looks over the party Janusz Morgenstern:Well, if we're all agreed on the job, then there is the contract to sign. But there is one more matter of business. Janusz Morgenstern looks to Vargyr Janusz Morgenstern:You aren't a tiefling, are you? Vargyr:"Do I have horns or a tail?" Renith Riverhold:(no he is a sunburned satyr) Janusz Morgenstern:No, you don't. Even if you were a tiefling, you don't match the description. But tiefling are already rare in this part of the world. I've never seen someone who looks like you. Where are you from? Vargyr:(Give me a city name) (I never pecified it cause its your world) Renith Riverhold:(ooc from the DEEP south, dont worry, its just hot down there, the smell? I'm an artificer and it comes with crafting magic boom powder) Vargyr:(lol) Janusz Morgenstern:(Uhhh, you can pick one at random. I'll work it into the lore later. Besides I'm thinking to have Vargyr having been planeshifted from another plane where Genasi are more common. They almost never occur in my setting as the genies don't come here, so if he was born in this world then he's probably basically aristocracy since he'd be the son a really powerful wizard. ) Renith Riverhold:(Ashington) Janusz Morgenstern:( lol ) Vargyr:(He doesn't know where he comes from anyways so...Surprise me lol) "A city called Ashington" Renith Riverhold:(Wick Flicker) Janusz Morgenstern:I have never heard of such a place. I wonder if it is across the sea... Janusz Morgenstern shakes his head and refocuses Renith Riverhold:(the sea of flames.. yes) Vargyr:(He's not that far south lol) Janusz Morgenstern:It doesn't matter. The reason I ask is because I have been told that there is a tiefling who has been seen around some of the places where the disappearances are happening. A female tiefling with black hair. I don't suspect most of the people here can tell what is and isn't a tiefling so be careful and stay close to your companions as much as you can. I don't want any harm to befall you from suspicious types who won't stop to ask questions. Renith Riverhold:that and dead contractors dont often get the job done Janusz Morgenstern chuckles Janusz Morgenstern:You have an unusual wit for a cleric, but yes, quite right. Vargyr:"Thanks, but I cna handle myself just fine. You wouldn't believe some of the things I've been through" Janusz Morgenstern smiles and nods Janusz Morgenstern:Then my client is in good hands. You have a week to prepare and he'll meet you in the Shining Dragon since you are all familiar with the place. I'd have you meet here, ordinarily, but with all that's going on we'll probably be full. Renith Riverhold:Mr Mew, how soon are you interested in departing?" GeigerCounter (GM):( I need to use the bathroom rq. brb. ) Renith Riverhold:(never mind) (quick why the DM is away, loot the room, grab those weapons... kobold, get the bear. Teddy, look through the books for magic tomes, while I see if what they got in their pockets.) GeigerCounter (GM):( Alright, everyone, roll initiative. ;) ) Renith Riverhold:(smoke bomb) GeigerCounter (GM):( Multiclassing into Rogue, I see. ) Renith Riverhold:(I am also mildly curious what the plant in the back is and why it requires a warning sign.) GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, this pretty much wraps up the session. Y'all all sign the contract and get 10 silver pieces and a small receipt of the contract to keep with you and record your expenses on and can head to the market between sessions to buy items. DM me on Discord if you've got anything in particular you're looking to get. Renith Riverhold:(ahh assets.. may you never be weird) GeigerCounter (GM):( Looool, it's just supposed to be a species identification tag. I don't know what the plant is yet, but I can think of something if you want me to. ) ( I'm glad that the office map is such a big hit. ) Anyone want to do anything else before we call it? Renith Riverhold:also something for you the dude in the back.. you want him to sit in the chair.. click and drag the token, hold alt and place him sits on stool GeigerCounter (GM):Thanks, that's. Actually really useful to know. I tried my best to align things to teh grid, but it kinda didn't. Renith Riverhold:no worries anyway, cya next week, also if you wish to log this, I suggest you do so before closing the window. GeigerCounter (GM):I will be logging it, yeah. I don't think it clears out automatically though. I think the GM has to do that. See ya next week. And thank you all for coming. Vargyr:(Good sessopm) Renith Riverhold:thanks for hosting Teddy:Thanks for hosting! Iskir:Ton of fun, thanks man GeigerCounter (GM):tyty Renith: 15 PERCEPTION (6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20+2 ( 13 ) +2 =15 Just a test roll Renith Riverhold:sure.... already plotting our doom GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, while we're waiting Renith Riverhold:back in the tavern again GeigerCounter (GM):lol yeah Iskir's joining Llama's supposed to be joining too, but haven't got a reply Denon F.:I am here GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr you can go ahead and get started sharing the info you found out in downtime. Renith Riverhold:grey dwarf in the house quietly adds things to the memes on discord while we wait Vargyr:Vargyr would procure a cigarette from his jacket and would put it in his mouth. He then would snap his fingers to produce flame and would light it. "Well, I did some poking around about a few things. For one, I wasn't able to find anyth8ing about our employer's missing son. What I did end up finding info about though is our axe weildng seral killer, Cheryl. There have been a few sightings on the north side of town, there's also even a rumor that they won't attack anyone inside temples or other consecrated buildings. I also heard that there may be some disappearances linked to them but nothing on that yet" Renith Riverhold:well at least we have a direction to travel if we wish to encounter Cheryl GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, I'm not sure where Teddy's at atm... the player stop replying. :Y Iskir, can you try DM'ing him? Iskir:Yerp GeigerCounter (GM):As Vargyr and Renith discuss things outside of the tavern with Iskir listening in intently, a blonde elven wizard exits and brushes past Vargyr. He apologized for bumping into him and accidentally inhales some of the dry smoke, coughing a bit. The elf apologizes again and walks out into the street Renith Riverhold:perhaps you should invest in a pipe? Vargyr:"Pipes are for stuck up people" Iskir:Iskir idly twirled on a bit of his beard, silently watching Renith Riverhold:perhaps but you dont end up wasting expensive herb by burning your lips." she says and then turns to Iskir, "shall we go in and inform our wayward friend on what we learned in the (mayor?)'s office. GeigerCounter (GM):( Not the mayor, just the boss of a local mercenary company, but as we're now half an hour in, we're just gonna continue without Teddy. ) Is there anything you'd like to do in town presently? Iskir:Iskir feels the compulsion to head to the market. He has ten gold coin, might as well use some of it. GeigerCounter (GM):To the market then! I don't have a market map yet Iskir:(I would wait for the other's responses) Renith Riverhold:this market looks surprising like a tavern Iskir:Lmfao Be aware that you don't always need a map GeigerCounter (GM):As everyone heads out into the market street, they notice Teddy still playing for an enthused crowd. He waves at the party. Right Iskir:Iskir waves back. If somewhat awkwardly Renith Riverhold:does Teddy look too busy to share any information he has or (shall we wait until his player is around as to not put words in his mouth) (unless of course its information we need to progress) GeigerCounter (GM):He does indeed look too busy and doesn't have any information at the present. I'll leave it up to a vote whether you guys want to go ahead and start exploring the dungeon. If not, feel free to look for the type of merchant that suits your fancy. Renith Riverhold:only has about 2 gold so she will leave the shopping to Iskir Iskir:Iskir has ten gold total GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr, do you have any shopping you wanna do? Vargyr:uuuuuhhhhhh....I am going to hit up a few fine goods stores and inquire about the clockwork heart Renith Riverhold:(does it require love or lust to wind it up) GeigerCounter (GM):Okay. You look around for a store that might deal in jewelry. Renith Riverhold:Renith fallows Iskir curious as to what he might by GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20 ( 11 ) =11 Vargyr finds a store that sells fine set jewelry and in a bilingual sign in common and mierish it boasts that they deal in minor enchantments on jewelry. This might be a good enough place to ask for more information. Vargyr:Vargyr would walk in and would stop at the shops front counter Iskir: Languages Proficiency Common, Dwarvish Er My b Renith Riverhold:Quietly pokes fun at Iskir to pick up colored ribbon so that she could bread them into his beard to give him a bit of color. braid rather Iskir:Iskir is confused. Gray is a color, isn't it? Renith Riverhold:its... a quiet color.. stoic even.. Iskir:He'd furrow his brow, thinking intently. Then look at her and nod with a very slight smile, seemingly taking it as a compliment Spider is wearing a "very convincing" human disguise and standing at the counter of the jewelry shop. Spider:Vargyr: Please make an Insight check with a DC of 12 Renith Riverhold:(ooo the promises of spider silk) GeigerCounter (GM):ope, lol Vargyr: 20 INSIGHT (3) Iskir:YO GeigerCounter (GM):Welp Iskir:OFF TO A GREAT START LMFAO Vargyr:the rest of my rolls are going to be total crap for the rest of the night lol Iskir:We shall see GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr instantly sees through the Spider's obvious human disguise and looks around to see if anyone else seems to notice, but no one does. Spider:Hello there, new customer! May I help you with something? Renith Riverhold:(come iskir, lets let Yargyr shop in piece.. for some reason I think it would be dangerous to be a fly on the wall) Iskir:(Iskir shall skedaddle lmao) Vargyr:(what is spider if no t a human then?) Renith Riverhold:(three kobolds in a trench coat) Spider is a large humansized spider in a human disguise Renith Riverhold:(an ethin I think) Spider is flawlessly adapted to this situation, indeed Renith Riverhold:(sorry an ettercap) Vargyr:Vargyr pulls out the colockwork device and sets it on the table "What can you tell me about this?" Renith Riverhold:(posts in art) Spider 's compound eyes seem to light up and sparkle as it examines the device. Spider:This is beautifully made, sir! Have you come to get it appraised? Perhaps to sell? Vargyr:"No, just wanted to see what you could tell me about it" "If anything" Spider nods and chitters slightly, looking the device over. Spider:rolling 1d20 ( 16 ) =16 Renith Riverhold:(hmms will the spider cast identify or legend lore.. or just appraise gold the value) (elf and deep dwarf watch on eating popcorn) Spider:Well this is one of the most powerfully enchanted items I have seen since I retired from human adventuring with my human friends. I have never seen something so wondrous in all my time selling jewelry here! It ticks with a thumping like the sound of a human chestpump. Most intringuing, yes. Yes, yes. I daresay, some would call it a priceless artifact, but I would be willing to purchase it for 1000 gold and a minor enchantment. Yes. Vargyr:"I don't want to sell it. What can you tell me about the enchantment? Can you dispell it?" Spider:Dispel? No, no. It is too powerful, too powerful indeed for me. I can tell it just by touching. Spider tries to stop the clockwork mechanism, only to receive a mild shock Spider:See? See it is more than mundane. But maybe... Maybe I can identify? Renith Riverhold:(something something shock to the heart) (somewhere over the rainbow, there is a tin man missing something) Vargyr:(You still typing?) (or have i gone crazy?) Renith Riverhold:(doesnt seem to be) Spider:(nope) Vargyr:(ok) "Now that would be lovely" He says with a hint of impatience Renith Riverhold:(lets sees.. id's the little thing.."hells heart.. key componet to the destroyer of all things.. if found please return to the lord of the underworld." ) Spider:Yes, yes. But there is the cost for components. Normally it takes a pearl of a size that in most places would be worth at least 100 gold coins. But... You have caught my curiosity. I happen to have a few such pearls and I would be willing to use one to identify your device for the low, low price of 10gp! That's a 90% discount! Renith Riverhold:(ooc the pearl isnt consumed in the casting) (but if the spider wants to spin a web of lies, who am I go judge) (to rather) Spider:( huh, thanks for letting me know. Then anyone observing can make an Insight or Arcana check to tell if that's how the spell works. :) ) Vargyr:(I'll make arcana check. If that fails, I know his other lie) 6 ARCANA (3) Iskir:Uh oh Spider:So what will it be? Say yes to me? Say no to me? Renith Riverhold:spider sounds legit Vargyr:"Name's Spider right? Isn't that a bit on the nose? Spider looks at Vargyr with confusion for a moment Spider:What do you mean, fine customer? I am a perfectly normal human with a perfectly normal human name! It's... uh... uh... Spider rolls to remember their fake name Spider rolls 1d20 Spider:rolling 1d20 ( 11 ) =11 It's Bobbert Spriggan. Renith Riverhold:(its a family name, passed down the family web, one sticky strand by sticky strand) Spider wasn't at all called anything that strange, but panicked because it isn't used to being called out Renith Riverhold:(I am shocked that there would be shady folks in such an market) You know Iskir, if we cant find anything to your liking, perhaps we can find interesting bobs and bobbles if we take your coin over to the kobold ally, surely they would have.. interesting things to offer for trade. Vargyr:Vargyr would raise an eyebrow "Oh i'm sure. How a bout we make a deal. I pay you half of what you're asking and I won't spread a rumor that the owner of this..oh so fine esablishment, isn't really human at all. Just think of what people would say" Spider:( I'm not sure if that's Persuasion or Intimidation, so pick one. ) Renith Riverhold:I would say intimidation Vargyr:(I mean. VArgyr would do it) Spider:( Alright, roll intimidation. ) Vargyr: 12 INTIMIDATION (2) Spider panicks, waving his weird hand-like appendages Spider:No, no, valuable customer. You wouldn't do such a thing. I give you a legendary 99% discount I will identify your bauble for one gold coin. Renith Riverhold:(toss it and see if he web slings it) Vargyr:Vargyr would toss a gold piece to Spider Spider catches the coin Renith Riverhold:(boo) (lol) Spider:This will take a minute, fine customer. Spider chants slowly and moves the pearl and owl feather across the edges of the device. After about one minute the spider stares at the pearl, its iridescence swirling around like the patterns in a soap bubble. It examines it deeply Spider:Hmmm... Yes, yes. very interesting. Renith Riverhold:(it is a cracker jack box prize) Iskir:(Ren's commentary is making me chortle lmfao) Renith Riverhold:(just keeping you engaged) Spider:I believe this is the heart - nay soul - of a creature! A creature from a place of order. I cannot identify the kind of creature, but it is ... hmm... How to say. It is much like the box. It ticks with many gear pieces and springs. It also has magic cast on it. A ward. But I do not know what kind. It is attuned to you traveler, which is very strange! But now I am very sad because the magic will make it so only you can use it... I wanted a new toy. Spider seems genuinely disappointed to not get the magical artifact Vargyr:"What do you mean, it's attuned to me?" Renith Riverhold:(aww you fill the little guy's attunement slot.. how sweet) Spider shrugs Spider:It is the way of many magical artifacts! They all have personalities. Like little friends. And they can form magic bonds with their user... This one has bonded to you. Renith Riverhold:(spider waxes on about how some times we are just machines being piloted by little things.. like little hearts and minds.. couscous and malevolent thoughts.. but thats nether here nor there) Spider:( I actually don't get that reference! XD ) Renith Riverhold:(spider just commenting on how the brain runs the body and how we might be just the magic items attuned to the little things inside) Vargyr:"Hrm... so it holds a soul of a creature that has bonded to me, am I getting this right?" Spider:Yes, yes. Quite right. You understand right away. Renith Riverhold:(this item reeks of curse) Spider:( c: ) Vargyr:"Know of anyone that's more versed in these things?" Renith Riverhold:(gnomes) Spider considers this question Spider:( SHUT. We're not visiting the gnomes, they're on a different continent atm. ) Renith Riverhold:(kobolds it is then) Spider:Well, you would need an arcane expert. A wizard. Very old, knowledgeable and experienced. Best if he used to be an adventurer. But my adventure friends have left me long ago. If you can find such a wizard, they may know. But this... this has a slight taste of foreign. No novice mage will help, oh no, no. Experts only. Vargyr:Vargyr would nod and pocket the device and would turn to leave. He would then stop and turn "I hope you prosper from this store you most human of humans" He would give a mocking bow and take his leave Renith Riverhold:I swear Iskir, you are just window shopping at this point Iskir:(B r u h) GeigerCounter (GM):Did Renrith or Iskir find anything they like? Iskir:Iskir was going to buy food Lmao Renith Riverhold:sees Vargy stepping out as we have made our rounds of the market.. "ah done with your shopping, this dwarf made all those poor merchants look on with hope as we would stop.. look and then Iskir would just move on.. GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir wanders his way over to the butcher who is offering cuts of pork and fish, sausages of diverse kinds. The butcher is doing his work on a dead goat suspended by his hooves. Iskir:Iskir would silently look at the butcher for a moment, then spoke up "Hello. Ye' got Rothe meat?" Renith Riverhold:looks back, picking out the grey dwarf out of the crowd, "I see all that shopping must have built up a hunger, so what did you buy in there, anything interesting?" she says turning back to Vargyr GeigerCounter (GM):The butcher eyes Iskir, furrowing his brow. He calls in a foreign language and his son appears from the shop. The butcher's son looks up at Iskir and says, "Oh a deep dwarf! Rare to see you this time of year. What were you looking for?" Vargyr:"In a manner of speaking. That will be revealed soon" Renith Riverhold:oooh surprises.. I look forward to it.. certainly adds spice while on the road Iskir:The Duergar would look him over for a split second "Rothe meat. Sausages. Ah' don't....know much about surface food, figurad a butcher might be smart t' stop at." Renith Riverhold:(Iskir hopes that the butcher is... a cut above the rest) GeigerCounter (GM):Sausages we have! I don't know quite what a rothe is, but we have pigmeat, fish, and if you can wait an hour we'll have the freshest possible goatmeat. If you're short of coin, we also serve dogmeat. Iskir:(....oh my god) ".....Ah've eaten dog. It's fine. How much fer'....two...pigmeat? Sausages?" (Casually roasts a Pomeranian) Renith Riverhold:(ooo meaty cream puffs) GeigerCounter (GM):Pigmeat sausage, that's two silver or twenty copper. Iskir:Iskir pulled a small burlap sack from his belt, opening it ".....How much can one gold get me?" GeigerCounter (GM):Gold? Gold sir? The butcher stops skinning the goat to move closer, staring at the gold. Renith Riverhold:(butchers eyes go wide as a months worth of income is handed over) GeigerCounter (GM):We normally don't trade in gold, it attracts thieves a bit too much. It'd be a hundred sausages though. Renith Riverhold:(well maybe more like a weeks worth but still) (adventures.. the destroyer of village economies) GeigerCounter (GM):( I'm going for a 100 sp to 1 gp conversion, so it'd be like three days' worth of good sales or something ) Iskir:Iskir's pale eyes widened in shock, and he looked around ".....Could ye'.....add some variety to the sausages? Ah' don't want to bore me companions if ahm' cookin' for 'em...." GeigerCounter (GM):Well yes, for one gold piece you could get five fine cuts of goat or ten cuts of pig. We can work it out however you like. The butcher's son translates to his father who laughs and nods knowingly. He says something to his son who repeats, My dad says that for a gold piece he'll even throw three goat steaks for free Iskir:"....Aye, that's a fair deal." GeigerCounter (GM):The butcher packages up approximately 60 lbs of food. Please add 60 rations to your character sheet. And let me know if you're overencumbered now Renith Riverhold:(quietly wonders expiration date on all that meat) Iskir:(Adding now) GeigerCounter (GM):( The sausage will keep for a few weeks because of how it's prepared, but the fresh meat will need to be cooked within two or three days. ) Iskir:(Dming you Geiger) Renith Riverhold:(is just looking on and shaking her head.. "I hope you plan to get some greens with that.. maybe some fruit) GeigerCounter (GM):Renrith's sprite's expression is becoming increasingly apt Renith Riverhold:all for the glory of dwarven constitution and their resistance to food poisoning.. GeigerCounter (GM):As you load the meat into your pack, beggars begin to swarm you, cautious because you're a Duergar, but curious if they can convince you to part with coin or sausage. The most bold are the kobolds. Renith Riverhold:Well look at that Vargyr.. if we get attacked by wild hungry animals, we know which pack to throw Iskir:Iskir is visibly flustered by the beggars, and tries to hold firm to some of the food....but he caves and decides to split a couple of the larger sausages and hand them out GeigerCounter (GM):( I don't have any sprites prepped for living kobolds, so ) Renith Riverhold:(kobold swarms) Vargyr:"I can also flash cook the meat too if need be" GeigerCounter (GM):The beggars thank him in various languages he doesn't understand. The kobolds begin eating them as is. Renith Riverhold:looks at vargyr appalled .. "that's not how you cook meat" GeigerCounter (GM):( Doesn't look like Llama's making it to this session. This went a lot goofier than I expected. I was trying to stall for him to be able to join in. ) Renith Riverhold:renith begins to list the various spices and seasonings that goes into a good rub and how you place things reasably over a fire to taste of the person who is going to eat it.. or else you get uncooked on the inside and charcoal on the outside GeigerCounter (GM):( WELP. Guess I was wrong. ) GeigerCounter (GM) waves to tom ooc Renith Riverhold:she eventually shuts up when her inn keeping upbringing leaks out and she looks back over at Iskir to distract herself Tom H.:( o/ ) Vargyr:Vargyr would chuckle GeigerCounter (GM):With the crowd now having lost interest in the technicolor harengon at the rumour of a Duergar giving out free food, Teddy rejoins the group being followed by a small drow child ( represented by impmon ) Tom H.:(I'm sorry for being this late. Hope y'all have been rolling well!) Renith Riverhold:(i think it would be more pastel than technicolor but blue bun be blue bun) GeigerCounter (GM):( Ye, I think so. It's been pretty goofy, but still. ) ( Also now tfw I gotta remember what the boy is even actually named. Renith Riverhold:She looks over to the drow boy, "Is your knee doing any better?" she asks remembering that she had healed it Cian:Mhm! Thank you miss! GeigerCounter (GM) is running out of room on this "street corner" Renith Riverhold:(kobolds climbing on the walls looking at us as they move around those blocking the walk way) GeigerCounter (GM):Cian's father Szofforrzn tries to press through the crowd to reach his son, but is too tall to slip between the kobolds. Teddy, now that you're back with the party, what would you like to do while I roll for how much money you made? rolling 3d12 ( 3 + 7 + 5 ) =15 rolling 12d4 ( 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ) =22 Renith Riverhold:(remember you can inflate the number of donations by lowing the value of coin) GeigerCounter (GM):Gz, you earned 15sp and 22cp Over the course of the three days you've been performing Renith Riverhold:(unfortunately Teddy, you wont be able to buy any sausages.. I think the butcher is sold out. ) GeigerCounter (GM):( brb, grabbing a drink. Continue what yer doin' ) Tom H.:Rubbing his paws across his traveling clothes, the fair hare brushes a spot of dust back to the ground. His coin purse jingles faintly, and his left ear twitches at the sound. Looking up and around at the others, Teddy waits silently though his eyes betray a curiosity to know about the current goings on. He rubs a lick of the drow boys hair back from where it had fallen over his face, nodding approvingly at the young man's appearance before returning his focus toward the others. Renith Riverhold:Well Teddy, did you get any good gossip while you did your tour of the city? Iskir:(Hey, I don't mean to be a party-pooper but since the change of game time was unexpected it's kinda cutting into time I promised with someone else) GeigerCounter (GM):( That's fair. ) Tom H.:"Hmmmm. I would say that most of the folk I heard were using many words to say very little. Unfortunately." GeigerCounter (GM):Alright team, quick votes time, got multiple things: Are y'all good to call the session there or do you want to keep going for a bit while Iskir gets dragged off by kobolds? Iskir:You guys can go on without me lol Renith Riverhold:I have a need to take off. Tom H.:(I'm not in a place to vote. Having been reunited with the party is progress for Teddy) Renith Riverhold:as I said, I can only game to 830 then I need to get ready for work Vargyr:I'm fine with whatever GeigerCounter (GM):Oh yeah, it is about that time. Renith Riverhold:yup the peanut gallery needs to go make income GeigerCounter (GM):Well Teddy and Vargyr y'all can keep playing if you want, but before you two go do you want to skip straight to the day you're supposed to meet the cat wizard for the job next session or are y'all find with all the goofy hijinks continuing? Vargyr:I think I am, good to stop for tonight. I don't watn to progress stroy with out a good bit of the group GeigerCounter (GM):Understandable. Then we'll wrap up there. Renith Riverhold:weee... shopping session accomplished Tom H.:And you all bought... sausages? Vargyr:I mean...that's not all I bought information For a veeeery good bargain GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, good session! Be sure to cast your votes and feel free to hang out on Discord if you have the time Renith Riverhold:cya later and thanks for running GeigerCounter (GM):ye Iskir:Hallo GeigerCounter (GM):Hello Let me set you over to the right map Iskir:Sir why is the Drow bright fucking purple GeigerCounter (GM):It's fine Dont' worry about it Renith Riverhold:ready for the recap GeigerCounter (GM):I forgot to write it. ._. Sorry about that. Still waiting on Tom also Bout to DM him Iskir:Brugh You forgot the recap? GeigerCounter (GM):I did. I'm sorry. I even said I was about to write it and everything. I'll just have to improvise what I was going to say. Iskir:It's fine tbh, that just surprised me lol GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, I fell asleep last night before I wrote it and then today I was focused on other things Iskir:Understandable GeigerCounter (GM):Still nothing from Tom. Gonna check on Waddle and then Mitch already said where he'd be. Bout to do the recap So when last we left off, Vargyr discovered that his clockwork artifiact was in fact the heart and soul of some sort of magical construct creature from the poorly disguised Ettercap Enchanter. Iskir bought some meat in preparation for the quest, which caused you to be surrounded by kobold beggars. The half-drow child Cian snuck his way through the crowd to greet you, but his father can't get through due to the thickness of the crowd. Teddy Cotton tail rejoined the party after his time busking. Your current employer is Janusz Morgenstern of the Morgenstern Mercenary Company, one of the fine and proud Mercenary Companies of the Scar. Which is the Free City you're in now. One of his sons is among the recent rash of disappearances that have been happening in the area, so he's having to hire independent adventurers to escort the elderly Tabaxi wizard Efra Mews who wishes to study the magical crystals of a local cave that opens out into the giant crevasse in the ground nearby, giving the city its name. Renith Riverhold:(pictures the bun hopping about while playing this tune) GeigerCounter (GM):During a rest, Renith and Iskir had met the drow man Szofforrzn and his son Cian and Szofforrzn had told them about the disappearance of his wife. You haven't seen the mysterious wolfgirl Charolette in days, but she is presumably still hunting her tiefling sister Cheryl who is the subject of much rumour due to spottings of a tiefling on the north side of the river and Charolette's telling of her sister being a killer. Most of the people are afraid of this, but unsure of what to do about it and don't seem to know anything in particular from what you can tell. And that's about everything, I think. You're currently all surrounded in the excited crowd still and I am going to play Teddy and Vargyr a bit until I hear back from their players. Renrith, Iskir, what do you do? Renith Riverhold:Renith takes hold of Cian and begins to look for his father amongst the crowd, "Stay near child, I am sure your father is around here somewhere.." Cian:Okay, miss Iskir:Iskir would hang out the pieces of the torn up sausage to the beggars, hoping it was enough to sate them for the time being (*hand) Renith Riverhold:Watches on as the kobold's somewhat climb and cling to the deep dwarfs leg to get there grabby claws just a bit higher than the rest of the crowd.. "Iskir.. have you by chance ever fed sea gulls before" Or by chance a swarm of rats? Iskir:"....Ah've not, no....but...Ah'm assumin' this is not too dissimilar?" Renith Riverhold:well neither rats nor gulls have the strength to carry you away.. so at least that is different.. just dont be surprised if you were lifted off you feet and carried off to their alleyways GeigerCounter (GM):Sorry, currently experiencing technical difficulties. Computer froze for a minute, think I'm back Welcome Tom Tom H.:(Howdy, the family is fed, and I am here.) Renith Riverhold:(the bun has been deployed) Teddy:(I'll join in the next scene, y'all enjoy your talk) Iskir:(Rabbit Spawn) Renith Riverhold:(from a top hat) GeigerCounter (GM):( You're technically nearby them if you want to go ahead and participate ) In response to distribution of the sausage, the kobolds greedily eat and the humans furtively stuff sausage into their bags and give a hasty thanks before backing away. The kobolds continue to eye Iskir. Renith Riverhold:(kobolds powered by the prob verb.. give a kobold a kookie) GeigerCounter (GM):lol Iskir:Iskir would sigh heavily and split one more sausage, tossing the pieces to the Kobolds before walking off (Deducting two rations from my pack) GeigerCounter (GM):( I choose to interpret this as the dwarf parting the crowd like the Red Sea ) Iskir:(Yes) Renith Riverhold:Tom do you think you shift though this crowd and find this drow child's father.. he should be somewhere as he didnt seem willing to late his son wonder too far. Perhaps guide him this way. Cian waves over to the magical rabbit Cody K.:(what's going on?) Renith Riverhold:(later we will see kobold drawings of the sausage hero of the scar) Teddy:Teddy's nose twitches as he makes his way back toward the young Cian. A wave of apologies and pardons escape his lips as he pushes through the crowd, now more condensed for the others passage. "Now then, Cian. What have you been getting up to in all this hustle and bustle? Any new stories for old Teddy?" Amusement and warmth fill the rabbits voice, as he tries to encourage the child to speak openly. GeigerCounter (GM):( If you scroll up there's a recap, but to recap the recap, youu're surrounded by hungry beggars, mostly kobolds. Renrith is holding a child who got separated from his father by the crowd, and Teddy is with the party again. ) Cian shrugs at the bunny. Is five years old and not that creative so he doesn't have any stories. Cian smiles happily at the bunny Efra Mews:Well met, Duergar. How have the preparations been going? I see you've attracted quite the crowd. Efra Mews laughs heartily at the small crowd of kobolds still trying to follow Iskir at an "inconspicuous" distance Iskir:Iskir would turn in mild surprise, his scarred brows raised "Ah.....hello there. We're currently buyin' supplies, aye." Teddy:"Oh, then let me tell you as few stories that I heard far away on the high seas! Now, how about you point me to where your father headed of to, and I'll talk as we walk. How does that sound?" Cian:Okay, Mr. Rabbit! Seften working his way through the crowd to approach Renrith and Cian Renith Riverhold:Ahh there you are Master Drow, seems the market is quiet active today, always a good thing for business and trade. Vargyr:Vargyr would rub his chin as he looks at the gathering crowd "We should get a move on" Seften:Well there has been a lot of excitement lately. Here, let me take him from you. Teddy:(For the sake of memory, who precisely is seften?) GeigerCounter (GM):( A drow guy who Iskir and Renrith met while Teddy was working for the crowd. He brought his son to see Teddy since it's not every day you get to see a magic music rabbit. His wife has been missing for a few days and he's trying to keep his son from realizing that, but Teddy wouldn't know that yet. ) Teddy:(Okay, I wasn't going crazy. I looked over the recap and was in my own head over it. I figured thats who it was) Teddy looks to the man with a smile and a twitch of his ears. "Well, here's your father now, young man. It looks like we'll have to save these stories for next time!" Teddy's paw glows softly, and he makes a show of putting it behind Cian's ear. When the rabbit pulls his paw away, the glow is gone.(Prestidigitation) "Can you hold onto that for me?" Cian gasps and nods, taking the coin Cian:Thank you, Mr. Rabbit! Look, daddy! Look! Cian shows off the coin Seften nods and smiles at his son and then at Teddy in wordless appreciation Teddy:Teddy straightens his tunic, and outside of the child's sight, gives the man a sympathetic nod. "So", Teddy says in an exhalation of breath, as if clearing the air of something stagnant and heavy. He looks at the passing croud, but it is clear his words are for the other adventurers. "Where to next?" GeigerCounter (GM):( There, lol ) Teddy:(Lmao) Renith Riverhold:Looks from Teddy to the pair extricating themselves from the kobolds.. We will probably be going underground though there should be at least some pretty gems and crystals. Seften Thanks the party and goes to do his other business in town, keeping a tight hold on his son so he doesn't run off by himself again Efra Mews:Ah, there you all are Well, have you all prepared for our journey? Iskir:Iskir nestled his pack onto his back, grunting from the weight of it "Ah' was gonna look into how much better armor costs....but ah' s'pose ah' can wait." Vargyr:"Ready as I'll ever be I suppose" Efra Mews:Well no worries, we still have another day or two and I don't mind waiting a little longer. At my age, you learn not to rush things. Teddy:Teddy gives a shrug as his left ear twitches thoughtfully. "I don't suppose anyone knows a good place to stock up on travel rations around here. I'm not one to be picky, but I'd prefer someone with a bit of reputation behind them. That's all I'm wanting for before we depart." Renith Riverhold:well... Iskir bought the vendor over there out of sausage though how much is left after the kobold raid I dont know.. Teddy:"Hmmmm." Teddy shifts his pack around as he looks through the top thoughtfully. "I can make do, then. What I have should last through our journey." Iskir:"...Ah' only gave 'em two....and ah've got sixty-eight left...." Renith Riverhold:I have a feeling we wont starve Efra Mews:What about climbing gear? At least some ropes and pitons might be handy Iskir:"Ah've got ropes, though considerin' I climbed out of th' Underdark without any...." Renith Riverhold:and for what its worth, I can offer a bit a light when needed Efra Mews:Very good! I don't think you'll need to worry too much about light, I can always provide a torch if we need one. Efra Mews casts light on his wizard staff Renith Riverhold:Nods though watches as some of the kobolds gather and ooooo and aaaas the light, "yes well then lets at least make our way to the edge of town.. before we start another crowd." Teddy:"I can pick up a fair bit with these even in the dark, but the torches are appreciated." Teddy says while gesturing up to his ears. "At that I think we're decidedly ready.: Efra Mews:Very well. It's still early in the day yet, so we can get started early if our kobold companion from the Morgenstern Company is ready. I suspect we'll find him in the pub. Efra Mews starts heading that way Iskir:"Ah.....fair enough." Iskir would follow Renith Riverhold:Casts light on a copper coin and waves it before the on looking kobolds before tossing it away while the party flees in a different direction.. Vargyr:Vargyr would chuckle before heading to the pub Efra Mews waves to the kobold to signal him GeigerCounter (GM):The party travels a journey of a few hours to the edge of a large canyon. There are some paths and broken stairs and bridges leading down to a ledge. Efra gestures to an opening just visible. Efra Mews:We need to get down there GeigerCounter (GM):You can see that part of the staircase that would lead down to the ledge you need to be on was broken somewhat recently. You'll have to jump. Who wants to carry the tabaxi wizard when they make the jump? Iskir:Iskir will Teddy:(The rabbit with a 12 strength is not the carrying sort) Iskir:(20 STR) Teddy:(Oh yeah, that's the guy for the job) Iskir:(Duergar with 20 STR lesgooooo) Renith Riverhold:gives guidence to iskir for his jump Iskir:Based Renith Riverhold:add a 1d4 to your athletics roll GeigerCounter (GM):Do you really want to, Renrith? Cool Teddy:(DM, what's the distance on that jump?) Renith Riverhold:(tis a cantrip) GeigerCounter (GM):( Oh yeah, harengon is prob making it. It's like 10-15 feet max. ) And you're jumping down Renith Riverhold:its all about avoiding fall damage GeigerCounter (GM):hah! Iskir:May I use Athletics for this jump bc carrying cat person Teddy:(I have a feature that will give me that distance on a jump without even needing to roll for it. Not gonna believe the name. Rabbit Hop) GeigerCounter (GM):... I'm gonna say sure because Idk how that works RAW Roll it with Guidance Vargyr:No way am I making that jump lol Iskir:Rolling now 8 Athletics(+7) Iskir There's no way MY GeigerCounter (GM):ooog Iskir:FIRST FUCKING Renith Riverhold:add 1 d4 Iskir:ROLL Teddy:(5x proficiency mod on a jump distance. Provokes no opportunity attacks.) Iskir:rolling 1d4 ( 1 ) =1 THER'S NO WAY GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, that's uh. That's gonna fail. Renith Riverhold:well thats a 9 you cant critfail a skill check GeigerCounter (GM):The DC is only 10 Iskir:Ren is right tho Skill fails have no crits I just take damage Teddy:(Very dense, those dwarves. Sink like a stone) Renith Riverhold:soo.. did you take a bad roll and land on the wizard? Iskir:I feel like he's ok but my knees are fucked If so, what would you like for me to roll for damage? GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir stumbles as he lands and reaches a hand out to steady himself on the wall. Efra grips him tightly. Iskir's ankle got twisted a bit in the fall and he takes 1 hp damage and a 5 foot reduction in speed for 2 turns Renith Riverhold:Well Iskir.. you do make quiet the impression.. especially on the ground GeigerCounter (GM):Nah, you didn't fail that bad that you need to roll anything Iskir:kk 15/16 HP GeigerCounter (GM):Yep Alright Renith Riverhold:now guidance's the bun Iskir:Ren, you better get a nat 1 too and suffer with me GeigerCounter (GM):heh We'll see. But at least the bonus and guidance means it wasn't that bad Renith Riverhold:I'll be sure to land on you.. Iskir:Istg GeigerCounter (GM): 10 11 ACROBATICS (1) That wasn't meant to be rolled with advantage. Renith Riverhold:rolling 1d4 ( 1 ) =1 and you add 1 Iskir:HA HA Teddy:Teddy walks to the edge and looks down. "Well, on the bright side we know that bit's sturdy enough." He then simply hops down to land on the lower landing. Renith Riverhold:she is not above giving guidence to herself before making the jump. Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern lands on his feet and steadies himself on the wall, unhurt, but shakes his head Vargyr:Such a graceful rabbit Renith Riverhold: 16 ATHLETICS (1) Renith Riverhold Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern:That roll was for the kobold btw Renith Riverhold:rolling 1d4 ( 3 ) =3 Iskir:hhhhhhhhhhhh Renith Riverhold:a 19 Teddy:(The fluff is aerodynamic) Vargyr:(What am I rolling here? Acrobativcs?" Renith Riverhold:bows " elvish grace " GeigerCounter (GM):( Yeah, Vargyr ) Renith Riverhold:Come on Vargyr, you can do it rolling 1d4 ( 3 ) =3 Vargyr: 16 ACROBATICS (1) Renith Riverhold:another 19 weee Vargyr:(hah) Iskir:I'm Seething GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr lands on his feet and smooths his coat Teddy already jumped down, right? Teddy:mhmm GeigerCounter (GM):kk What order would you like to enter the dungeon in? Vargyr:(Can't let the coat get ruffled) (That's part of the charm) Iskir:Iskir will set the cat down and enter first Teddy:Teddy will follow someone with a torch Vargyr:(I can technically produce light as well...Iforgot about that) GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah between the all of you, I'm not even bothered with light right now. You've got like seven different ways to see in the dark right now. Renith Riverhold:I can either go first or last as my eyes can see pretty well in the dark, (300 ft dark vision) Iskir:Iskir can just fucking see in the dark Darkvision baybee GeigerCounter (GM):So, basically like this. Teddy:it's all dark for teddy time to use echolocation (AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH) Vargyr:Vargyr would snap his fingers to produce some light Produce flame conjuration cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: self Components: V, S A flickering flame appears in your hand. The flame remains there for the duration and harms neither you nor your equipment. The flame sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or if you cast it again. You can also attack with the flame, although doing so ends the spell. When you cast this spell, or as an action on a later turn, you can hurl the flame at a creature within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 fire damage. SPELL SAVE DC: 12 GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20+1d8 ( 10 ) +( 1 ) =11 You enter the cave, those of you with darkvision can see that ahead of you there is water dripping into a giant pit in the ground. There are faintly glowing crystals off in the distance that emit a moderate amount of dim light. Efra strokes his beard and mutters, "Should have waited for a full moon, but I guess this will have to do." Renith Riverhold:(ooc the map is dark for me) GeigerCounter (GM):( Hmmmmmmm... Crap. Let me fix that. ) ( Also doesn't your aura extend to the whole party? ) Renith Riverhold:(I dont have an aura) Teddy:(THat's what I meant. Map is literally pitch black. If not for my char's name and healthbar, I wouldn't be able to see anything) Renith Riverhold:same (quick, have the wizard attack the darkness) GeigerCounter (GM):( Can you see anything yet Renrith? ) Renith Riverhold:nope GeigerCounter (GM):How about now? Renith Riverhold:nope Iskir:Nope Vargyr:I can't hear you. It's pitch black GeigerCounter (GM):Messing with settings for Renrith's token, let me know when you can see Renith Riverhold:I can now at least see my token.. but the map is still dark GeigerCounter (GM):Alright Just a moment Can you see anything yet? Idk what's going on that everything's dark for players Iskir:Let me refresh Teddy:I'll send you a screenshot of what I see on discord Renith Riverhold:still in the dark also if it helps, I can not see other people's tokens Iskir:Still dark Renith Riverhold:I can see things now Cody K.:I am no longer blind! GeigerCounter (GM):Did that do it? ok Iskir:Based Renith Riverhold:granted I cant see 300 feet but at least I can see something GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, I'm not sure how to do that for just you The only options it's giving me here are to reveal things for everybody Renith Riverhold:its something we can figure out later GeigerCounter (GM):there, that should roughly be 300 feet Yeah, I added a purple aura to your character token to keep track of what you should be able to see. It's probably not visible to you, but idk for sure Renith Riverhold:okay GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, got the cave music going Also gotta say, this is kinda ass dealing with lighting without the dynamic lighting feature they paygated. I'm gonna look into Foundry VTT sometime in March probably. But let's keep going You enter the cave, those of you with darkvision can see that ahead of you there is water dripping into a giant pit in the ground. There are faintly glowing crystals off in the distance that emit a moderate amount of dim light. Efra strokes his beard and mutters, "Should have waited for a full moon, but I guess this will have to do." Tom H.:foundry and fantasy grounds both have it GeigerCounter (GM):Right. I already tried out Foundry's demo, was very impressed. I just have to wait until I can afford to buy it and then set everything up in it, so we're sticking to Roll20 for the time being. Renith Riverhold:So.. how do you plan to do your research Efra? She eyes one of the crystals being careful of the edge Efra Mews:Well... I need to observe the crystals in their native environment, but I was also hoping that our dwarven friend might be able to help us take a few samples... Right now... I'm just admiring the place a bit. It's a beautiful cave. It reminds me of the caves I used to explore as a kitten. Iskir:Iskir would nod, taking his war pick off of his belt Efra Mews:Well... seeing as the way forward would drop us off a cliff, what shall it be, comrades? Left or right? Iskir:".....Ah' s'pose right." Renith Riverhold:is there a particular crystal you are after or would any of these due? Efra Mews:Any should be fine. A good sample the size of my palm should be enough, but the bigger of a sample that we can get, the better for my research. Renith Riverhold:do you have means of transporting very large samples? Efra Mews:I'm afraid not. Anything that'd be too large to carry back the way we came would simply have to be left where it is. Also, do you smell that in the air? There's something besides the musty smell from that stagnant pond... Iskir:Iskir would grip his war pick tighter as he walked, clearly picking up the scent (Can I make a perception roll to discern it?) Efra Mews:Insight Iskir: 5 Insight(+1) Iskir sigh Efra Mews:( Woop, meant to do that out of character ) GeigerCounter (GM):The Duergar's nose is not as sensitive as the Tabaxi's, but nonetheless he can still smell something unpleasant that he cannot recognize. Iskir:(WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BC DUERGAR AND CORPSES LOL) OR WHATEVER IT IS I'M ASSUMING CORPSES GeigerCounter (GM):( Lmao, I'm not telling until someone passes a check. :P ) Iskir:HHHHHHH DEEP DARK CAVE, IOOT HAS TO BE BODIES anyway Cody K.:(Imma try) GeigerCounter (GM):Gofer it Cody K.: 15 INSIGHT (3) GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr recognizes the smell as that of rotting flesh. It's not a smell he's smelled often before, but it's one he wouldn't forget. Iskir:CALLED IT Renith Riverhold:Looks over at Iskir as she senses a happy dwarf.. "Something amusing?" Vargyr:Vargyr would grumble "Well...if I remember that smell...seems like there's been a few unlucky people to come in here before us" Iskir:He looked at her, a scarred brow raised high GeigerCounter (GM):( It just occurred to me that I made too much visible and there'd be things hidden by the wall ) Renith Riverhold:(its find, im ignoring such things) So Efra, you have been here before, where you often escorted and.. by chance did this smell exist last time you wondered in here? Efra Mews:This is my first time in this kingdom at all, dear. I am from a place far from here. But I've always been a curious cat. I heard of this place and if I were about 20 years younger I would have come on my own, but you know how places tend to be a bit more dangerous than you expect. History Efra Mews Skill: 3 | 18 Renith Riverhold:starts to head south down the corador and is trying to see if the smell is growing stronger.. Efra Mews:Why... it's fascinating to think that this place used to be alive with worshippers. Most of them much like yourself, worshipping Selune. The place seems as though it might have returned to nature in the meantime, but such a cave would be ... Efra Mews he trails off as he sees Renrith move ahead GeigerCounter (GM):The smell does indeed get stronger. Teddy, you want to catch up with the party or are you okay where you're at? Renith Riverhold:just with any place left alone, it will sucome to the elements if left unmaintained. GeigerCounter (GM): Investigation Efra Mews Skill: 12 | 11 ( Why is it rolling all the checks with advantage? Weird. ) Efra Mews:True enough. Renith Riverhold:moves closer to the source of the smell, if they are would be worshipers of Selune, she would like to find out. (you must click the toggle on character sheet she whispers, "we have small zombies down that way, you up for engaging them?" Efra Mews:Undead? That's quite unusual... I am past my fighting prime. Do you think that the lot of you can handle a few undead? Iskir:Iskir put his pick away and drew his greataxe from his back. That alone was his response Renith Riverhold:Smirks at such a response.., she then looks to the rest of the party Tom H.:Teddy shrugs his shoulders before clearing his throat. "Well enough, I should think" Renith Riverhold:okay, with the zombies at her back she casts light on an arrow.. "Ill light up the area, engage how ever you wish." Vargyr:"I've had some run ins with undead before" Iskir:"Ah'm ready." He'd hunker down and prepare to charge Renith Riverhold:She turns lighting up the party for a moment as she knocks an arrow and sends it down the hallway towards the first zombie. GeigerCounter (GM):Roll an attack Renith Riverhold: 21 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold Iskir:Jesus GeigerCounter (GM):That's a hit. Renith Riverhold: 5 Percing there is now area of light around said zombie.. though its probably acting more like a directional lantern but at least the other zombies can be easily seen when they come around the corner GeigerCounter (GM):The zombified kobold lets out a terrible screech that echoes across the caves and they begin moving towards you. We're gonna call the session here, but we'll roll initiative next time @Renith, right Iskir:Good session tbh GeigerCounter (GM):Thanks! Iskir:Thanks for hosting! Vargyr:(First combat encounter!) GeigerCounter (GM):What'd everyone else think, besides the fog of war bit, lol Renith Riverhold:and now we are learning about light and combat Iskir:I can't wait to roll a 1 on initiative and my first attack to also be a fucking 1 GeigerCounter (GM):That'd be something, tbh Renith Riverhold:its okay iskir, I can give you advantage on init checks Iskir:Istg if that happens I am making Iskir level 20 on the spot and nuking the entire goddamn cave (joking) Renith Riverhold:its okay, we will all stand back while you rage.. in your head you are level 20 as you rip into trash mobs. Iskir:>:C Lmfao GeigerCounter (GM):lol What'd you think, Teddy? Tom H.:ope, went for 2 min to grab popcorn XD. Good session overall, ready for the dice to fall (And maybe us to fall) Renith Riverhold:its all fun and games until we learn this is a kobold cave and its full of traps Iskir:I'm going to cry if there's traps Renith Riverhold:its okay.. they are just 10 foot pit traps, its your weakness after all GeigerCounter (GM):Is, was, what's the difference? Tom H.:tuckers kobolds huh that'd be one hell of a time GeigerCounter (GM):lol Iskir:Gonna head off, will be on Discord Looking forward to next week! Renith Riverhold:indeed cya then GeigerCounter (GM):Righto. I'm gonna probably be messing with the maps a bit and prepping, no need for y'all to stick around here. Thanks for playing! I'll be on Discord if I'm needed Tom H.:Have a great night Denon F.:Test roll Iskir: 6 Intimidation(+2) Iskir Alright, cool GeigerCounter (GM):kk Iskir:Testing rolling advantage 22

Athletics: check (2d20kh1 + 7) Iskir Word GeigerCounter (GM):brb, bathroom Iskir:kk GeigerCounter (GM):Hey Iskir Iskir:Yeah? GeigerCounter (GM):I want to try to test something rq Iskir:Alright GeigerCounter (GM):So it's an idea for a mass combat system. Basically instead of rolling every kobold individually, we'd do something like this. rolling 1d4 ( 1 ) =1 oh ok Iskir:Lol rolling 1d4 ( 4 ) =4 HAH GeigerCounter (GM):So 1 of the 4 kobolds hits lol Now roll crit chance Iskir:Idk, I feel like that takes away from our individual strengths GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20 ( 9 ) =9 Renith Riverhold:there is a rule for mob combat Iskir:Also that GeigerCounter (GM):Where? I should read that Renith Riverhold:dmg GeigerCounter (GM):For this combat it's not gonna matter tho Cos I am running them individual here Right on. Reading that now. Still waiting for Vargyr and Teddy Alright, so it's about half an hour over start time. Go ahead and start rolling initiative. Iskir:kk GeigerCounter (GM):Teddy and Vargyr will be at the bottom of the initiative and if they don't show up, their turn gets skipped. 19 INITIATIVE (-1) Iskir:Welp 21 Initiative(+3) Iskir Renith Riverhold: 5.18 INITIATIVE (4.18) Renith Riverhold Iskir:Oh Renith Riverhold: 16.18 INITIATIVE (4.18) Renith Riverhold Iskir:I forgot to click on my token GeigerCounter (GM):It's ok Renith Riverhold:wee good thing I get to roll with advantage GeigerCounter (GM):I'll just add you manually Iskir:kk GeigerCounter (GM):Oh cool We're rolling initiative Iskir:AYOOOOO IT'S HIM GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20 ( 9 ) =9 Tom H.:Sorry for the tardiness, time got away from me GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20 ( 14 ) =14 rolling 1d20 ( 20 ) =20 Tom H.: Initiative Initiative: 5.16 GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d20 ( 19 ) =19 Alright, I think I did that right Iskir:Uh Wait, no That's Vargyr, nvm GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, he gets 0 initative so we can wait for him to show up Iskir:kk GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, Iskir. You're up. And just as a reminder, last session Renith sneak shot the kobold closest you guys Renith Riverhold:that one has a arrow with the light spell on it Iskir:Iskir would reach behind him, pulling his crossbow off of his pack. Quickly loading a bolt into it - he'd aim at the Kobold closest to him and squeeze off a shot GeigerCounter (GM):Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of that. Iskir: 15 80ft./320ft. Crossbow, light (+5) Iskir Does a 15 hit? GeigerCounter (GM):Just confirming, if it gets over its AC, it hits? Iskir:Yes GeigerCounter (GM):That's a hit Tom H.:meets or exceeds, it's a hit Iskir:Default dances Rolling damage 5 Piercing Damage 80ft./320ft. Crossbow, light Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):Alright. Any bonus actions or movement? Iskir:Not unless I waste my Action Surge Which I will not GeigerCounter (GM):lol kk Iskir:HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING TINY BABY MAN (I'm the tiny baby man) GeigerCounter (GM):Wait, why did it duplicate the kobold Iskir:Oh no GeigerCounter (GM):There we go Just a glitch The kobold lets out a twisted gurgling cry as it moves forward Cap moves forward to take position on the other side of Renith. Iskir:GET 'EM REN Renith Riverhold:ooc dont forget if the zombies cant attack they can still use their action to move. aims at the closest one 20 11 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold Iskir:WHEW Renith Riverhold: 10 Percing GeigerCounter (GM):The arrow hits with a thud that damages the rotting flesh of its ribcage So it moved, you said it can continue moving if it can't attack, right? Or is that a misunderstanding? Renith Riverhold:yeah its just using its action to move so it gets it normal movement, and then action to move GeigerCounter (GM): Charge! Kobold Zombie For the duration of the turn that this legendary action is used, this creature's movement speed is doubled. If it moves in range to be able to make a melee attack, it does so with advantage. Right, gonna use its legendary action Hmm... Welp. That did not help as much as I wanted, lol. Iskir:Hey, it still got closer GeigerCounter (GM):true Renith Riverhold:also legendary actions happen at the end of someone elses turn GeigerCounter (GM):o Iskir:Yep GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, nevermind that then, it just used its regular action to move. Renith Riverhold:we see nothing GeigerCounter (GM):I need to rewrite the legendary action then. It's what I get for not reading the rules. lol Iskir:Smh lmfao GeigerCounter (GM):The injured kobold zombie with the light arrow still stuck in its eye socket limps forward towards the enemy. Teddy's turn Hey! You made it just in time. Combat's started and you're up next Vargyr:What's that circle? Renith Riverhold:light GeigerCounter (GM):There's an arrow lodged in its eyesocket that has light cast on it Tom H.:"Absolutely incredibly" Teddy says with a sharp glint in his eye, and a tone of mockery in his voice. "Is that a worm I see? I didn't realize piles of mud could walk." As his words echo off the stone, a spell is woven in their wake. Vicious Mockery GeigerCounter (GM):Targeting which? Tom H.:I need a wisdom save from the closest of the zombies, if you please. (DC 15) GeigerCounter (GM):Right, hang on. I'm trying to figure out if zombies would be able to hear. I guess yeah, they would. Spell does say they needn't understand. Wisdom Kobold Zombie Ability: 17 Welp. The kobold doesn't react. Iskir:Uh oh The mockery wasn't vicious enough Tom H.:"Wow, not even a chuckle. Looks like we've got a tough crowd tonight." Pass turn GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr, you're up Iskir:HIT 'EM WITH THE OL' RAZZLE DAZZLE Vargyr:Vargyr would clap his hands together and would summon 3 magical projectiles and would direct them to one of the zombies That one GeigerCounter (GM):Welp Yeah Roll damage Vargyr: 19 120 ft Magic Missile (+4) Show Spell Description 15 120 ft Magic Missile (+4) Show Spell Description 17 120 ft Magic Missile (+4) Show Spell Description Iskir:H u h GeigerCounter (GM):Wiat Iskir:That cannot be right Renith Riverhold:magic missile is just one roll of 1d4+1 and it auto hits Vargyr:I think I did it wrong Iskir:Yes Vargyr:Right Ooooh GeigerCounter (GM):It's 1d4+1, you can hit multiple targets tho You get three damage rolls at level 1 cast Renith Riverhold:roll 20 has always had an issue with MM Vargyr:I clicked the wrong thing GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, that's ok, we'll just roll it manually if we need to Vargyr: 3 force 2 force 2 force Ok GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, so Iskir:4/3/3 Renith Riverhold:they are all the same damage Iskir:o Shows how much I play casters Renith Riverhold:you just roll a 1d4+1 and it that across all missiles Vargyr:You sure? Renith Riverhold:yup Vargyr:I've always seen it as separate for the 3 Iskir:Ope, yup. Ren is right GeigerCounter (GM):In this case, the kobold zombie is defeated either way Vargyr:Becuase Renith Riverhold:oh no.. you inverted the kobold GeigerCounter (GM):lol The kobold zombie crumples to the ground, the glowing arrow lodged in its forehead as the unnatural light fades from its body, converting it into a rotting kobold corpse. Alright, that's the bottom of the turn. You hear sounds of combat echoing faintly from the direction the kobolds came from. Vargyr:I just looked it up. You do roll separately for the 3 different missiles Iskir:Yeah, I just posted that in the Discord So Huh Renith Riverhold:I will leave it to the dm to choose which way they want to do it Iskir:Valid GeigerCounter (GM):I prefer to roll it separately, so we'll do that from now on. Kobold's dead. Renith, you have 300 feet of low-light vision, yes? Renith Riverhold:dark vision, yes GeigerCounter (GM):Then you see a towering figure lurch into view pursued by more kobold zombies, yelling expletives in a language you don't understand. Waddle, go ahead and take your turn and we'll move to the start of the round. Waddle:uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ummmmmmmmmm "You! What you do in Yusuke cave!" Iskir:"......What." GeigerCounter (GM):You have a longspear/pike which you're currently wielding, you also have a wakizashi ( short sword ), a longbow, and two small handaxes Waddle:"You hear Yusuke! what you do in Yusuke cave!!!" Iskir:The Duergar is visibly confused GeigerCounter (GM):Are you going to make an attack before your turn's up? Waddle:is everyne hostile towards yusuke? Iskir:I mean Iskir is confused more than anything GeigerCounter (GM):The kobolds you're surrounded by are hostile Kobold zombies, rather Waddle:"Wait, why anyone in yusuke cave! Even yucky short guys!!!" GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, you've spoken more than 6 seconds worth of dialogue, move to the top of the round Waddle:I literally couldnt see how close or far i am from the party to make a good move GeigerCounter (GM):You are 55 feet from the party and like 5 foot from two kobolds Iskir, you're up Iskir:Word Iskir lets out an audible growl; stowing his crossbow away and drawing his greataxe. Using his Deep Dwarf limbs, he'd rush at the undead Kobold in front of Ren and would swing wide at it 8 Greataxe (+7) Iskir I CAN REROLL THAT I THINK GREAT-WEAPON FIGHTING OR IS THAT FOR DAMAGE Iskir:ITS FOR DAMAGE, KILL ME I'm going to cry GeigerCounter (GM):That's for damage Renith Riverhold:that was your attack rool Iskir:Sigh Renith Riverhold:which was more lol than roll GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir's wide swing passes narrowly over the zombold's head without harming it. It lets out a gutteral hissing noise at Iskir. Iskir:"Tch....stupid feckin' pissant lizard!!!" Renith Riverhold:its alright, too much light for Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):The zombold nearest Yusuke is startled by the appearance of the newcomer and takes a swipe at Yusuke with disadvantage. rolling 2d20kl1+2 ( 8 + 15 ) +2 =10 The attack snags Yusuke's clothes, but does not harm him. 16 18 5 ft. Monk Unarmed Strike (+2) Cap punches the zombold Didn't mean to roll that with advantage GeigerCounter (GM):But it's a hit Waddle:"damn short thing! Why you hit yusuke!" GeigerCounter (GM): 3 bludgeoning Iskir:Thwee GeigerCounter (GM):Renith, you're up Renith Riverhold: 18 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):That's a hit Renith Riverhold: 7 Percing GeigerCounter (GM):The arrow catches the zombold in the heart, shredding through the necromantic magic holding it together. It falls to the ground. The zombold takes a swing at Cap Iskir:nat 1 GeigerCounter (GM): Claw Kobold Zombie ATTACK: 14 Iskir:oh GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d4 ( 3 ) =3 The kobold pugilist gets cut by the zombold's claws Teddy, you're up Iskir:Sing us a song, Rabbit Man Tom H.:Teddy looks up at the red skinned man next to him, and gives him a thumbs up. "Alright, sport. You've got this. Just keep leading your targets." Magic caries along the bards words, a magic steeped in memory and potential. Something... Inspirational. (Bardic inspiration to Vargyr) He then looks down the length of the tunnel, and throws another jeer at the undead kobold in hopes that it actually takes hold. "Hey, you! Fuck you!" Another bout of vicious mockery, another dc15 wisdom save GeigerCounter (GM):Targeting which kobold? Tom H.:the one in melee with Iskir GeigerCounter (GM): Wisdom Kobold Zombie Ability: 6 Yeah, that hits Roll damage Tom H.:rolling 1d4 ( 2 ) =2 GeigerCounter (GM):The zombold becomes distracted by your mockery and loses sight of its target. Tom H.:It gets disadvantage on it's next attack, if it lives that long GeigerCounter (GM):yep The zombold rushes Yusuke and attempts to bite him. Bite Down Kobold Zombie ATTACK: 3 Renith Riverhold:(zombie kobold gains a warm glow and is deeply moved by the fact that in its current state.. someone wants to give it a fuck) Iskir:(Good lord....) GeigerCounter (GM):The zombold's jaws snap at Yusuke, utterly missing. The other zombold attempts the same Bite Down Kobold Zombie ATTACK: 20 oof nat 20 Iskir:UH OH Waddle:"Stupid short thing!" Renith Riverhold:(zombie plague begins) Tom H.:Can I use my reaction here GeigerCounter (GM):Yes If your spell is in range Tom H.:Darn, out of the 60 ft range GeigerCounter (GM):Alright then Tom H.:So close GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d6+2 ( 6 ) +2 =8 DAMN Rip Yusuke The kobold leaps up and bites Yusuke's exposed neck, clamping down and shaking him. He immediately loses consciousness stumbling and falling to the ground. Tom H.:Instant death really do be like that Waddle:fuck Iskir:"Oi! That....guy! We gotta 'elp him!!" GeigerCounter (GM):He still gets death saves, doesn't he? Iskir:Yes GeigerCounter (GM):kk Iskir:Three rolls GeigerCounter (GM):Vargyr you're up.

Renith Riverhold:(drum rolls) Waddle:k 13 DEATH SAVE (0) Yusuke Oda GeigerCounter (GM):Okay That's one success Start of the round and it's Iskir Iskir:Iskir thumped his chest with a free hand for a moment before resuming his two-handed stance. The Duergar ran forward to close the distance between him and the rest of the Kobolds "Ay shiteheads!! Over 'ere!!" He'd yell out at them in an attempt to draw them closer to the group Lemme know if I gotta roll for that GeigerCounter (GM):that was 20foot of movement? hmmmm...

Iskir:Wish I had known that beforehand, but Let me emote GeigerCounter (GM):You still have 15 feet of movement and I won't count that as your action Renith Riverhold:(is curious if the kobolds will continue to much, doing auto crits which equal to two failed death saves) (munches popcorn) (munch rather) GeigerCounter (GM):( Yeah, Teddy told me that over Discord, so moving forward that's what I'll do. ) Iskir:Letting out another growl, Iskir stowed his greataxe over his back before drawing his crossbow again. He'd run forward some more before aiming at the one directly within his line of sight....and fired GeigerCounter (GM):Wait Ok Nvm Iskir:??? GeigerCounter (GM):I was gonna ask if you were aiming for the one bit down on his neck And you did Iskir:Lol GeigerCounter (GM):Go ahead and roll Iskir:Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme a roll that I desire 23 80ft./320ft.

Waddle:(yusuke in dead peter pose) Renith Riverhold:moves, collecting lit arrow and fireing it at a kobold.. then using bonus action to cast healing word on waddle.

Renith Riverhold:so all those death saves go away.. he is still prone which means they get advantage on melee attacks against him GeigerCounter (GM):Right Renith Riverhold:but he is not dieing.... yet Tom H.:ahh, the 5e healing of ping ponging someone off the floor XD Waddle:Yusuke alive! ...YUSUKES FOOT!!!! GeigerCounter (GM):Ok, Teddy it's your turn Hmm... I might need to retcon the foot bite so it's not bitten off, just badly hurt. Eh, let's roll with it for now and see what happens Renith Riverhold:(would say that until waddle becomes an object, he retains his bits) Tom H.:Dashing up 60 feet Teddy rushes forward toward the combat. "If you've got the stomach for it, now's the time to get up and get yourself out of there!" (Bardic inspiration toward yusuke) Waddle:"Is this, keendnes?" GeigerCounter (GM):ok The zombie kobold leaps over Yusuke's prone body and attempts to bite Cap Bite Down Kobold Zombie ATTACK: 19 ... Unfortunate Iskir:Cap is dead Waddle:i think he dead aain GeigerCounter (GM):rolling 1d6+2 ( 5 ) +2 =7 The zombold chomps down on Cap's neck. He is now on the ground in the same posiiton as Yusuke with a zombold latch to his neck. Speaking of said latched zombold, he swipes at Yusuke's chest with advantage.

Waddle:oh no GeigerCounter (GM):Gotcha Renith Riverhold:if you are targeting a prone target with range its at disadvantage GeigerCounter (GM):Oh good point, the zombolds would also be prone because they're eating a prone target Renith Riverhold:would recommend spells that require saving throws for attacking prone targets GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, so do you still want to cast firebolt? Vargyr:Yeah That's the only thing I can do atm GeigerCounter (GM):kk Roll it with disadvantage Vargyr:rolling 1d20 ( 8 ) =8 rolling 1d20 ( 1 ) =1 Add 4 GeigerCounter (GM):oh Vargyr:As spell attack bonus Renith Riverhold:also did you have insperation ?

If Cap fails his next saving throw, he ded Iskir, you're up Renith Riverhold:(well physically they arent going anywhere) Iskir:Iskir drew his greataxe again, looking back to his party "We fight together! TAKE 'EM OUT!!" With that said, Iskir charged in with his axe firmly grasped in both hands - and he'd swing downward at the Kobold nearest to him 15 Greataxe (+7) Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):That's a hit Renith Riverhold:there you go Iskir:Based Rolling damage Waddle:good job Iskir: 13 Slashing Damage Greataxe Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):The axe swings true and cleaves the zombie in twain, the chunk of Cap's tail flesh falling from its maw.

Renith Riverhold:(DISENGAGE) Yusuke Oda:bet ok hold on Tom H.:stand and run! Yusuke Oda:"yusuke no coward... most of time) I would like to run as far as I physically can or behind someone with high hp GeigerCounter (GM):The kobold is attached to your throat And you're at like 1 or 2 hp Yusuke Oda:well idfk what to do GeigerCounter (GM):May I suggest attacking it with your sword? Iskir:Yeah, stab it Stab stab stab Yusuke Oda:IM LOOKING FOR HOW TO ROLL TO HIT Renith Riverhold:disengaging doesnt allow for attack of opertunity and unless there is a grappleing going on.. GeigerCounter (GM):Open the character sheet Yusuke Oda: 23 11 Wakizashi (+6) Yusuke Oda Iskir:Holy shit GeigerCounter (GM):HMMM Yeah, that's a hit either way Roll damage Yusuke Oda: 9 Slicing Iskir:Whew GeigerCounter (GM):Yusuke cuts the zombie kobold open and its guts spill out onto him. The magic fades away from it and releases his throat, falling limp on him. Iskir:Eugh Renith Riverhold:(someone will need a bath) Iskir:More like a disinfection GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir, you're up and there's 1 zombold remaining! Yusuke Oda:"ew" (falls over and cries in pain) Renith Riverhold:(can the deep dwarf sink their axe deep) GeigerCounter (GM):Hey, Renith, do you have any healing cantrips btw? Iskir:There are no healing cantrips I think Anyway GeigerCounter (GM):Welp Iskir:Iskir growled again as he sauntered over to the final Kobold. The very-quite-clearly-angry Duergar lifted his greataxe up and then brought it down - trying to lodge it into the undead lizard's head 8 Greataxe (+7) Iskir No.... No no no I'm actually annoyed now Legit annoyed Yusuke Oda:and then he drops it on his head GeigerCounter (GM):The attack misses. Renith Riverhold:if kobold is prone, he has advantage GeigerCounter (GM):Oh Iskir:OH GeigerCounter (GM):True Roll again Iskir:ROLLING AGAIN Yusuke Oda:"haha... heh.. tired... dirt nice" Iskir: 15 Greataxe (+7) Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):Let's gooo Yusuke Oda:much better Iskir:Rolling damage 12 Slashing Damage Greataxe Iskir BASED Yusuke Oda:finally GeigerCounter (GM):You cut the zombold in half and with your honed process stop just short of hitting your ally beneath it. Renith Riverhold:axe control Iskir:".....Hells to ye' shiteass undead...." GeigerCounter (GM):I think he's still rolling death saves tho rolling 1d20 ( 11 ) =11 Iskir:OPE GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, he's stable Er Renith Riverhold:"Alright, if you are alive, sound off" GeigerCounter (GM):He succeeds, I meant Iskir:"Livin'." GeigerCounter (GM):But that's all the kobolds, so Vargyr:"Not a scratch on me..." Efra Mews walks up to the downed kobold and pours a healing potion into his wounds, stabilizing him Renith Riverhold:well what did we learn about fighting the undead today? Yusuke Oda:"Yusuke... hurted" Tom H.:"Lightly scratched."\ Efra Mews:I'm sorry. I expected some danger, but nothing like this... I'm glad to see everybody's still alive and very glad I didn't go this alone. But nobody's ever said anything about undead here... I don't understand. Yusuke Oda:"ble-" Iskir:Iskir snorted "Undead or no....we've ah' job to do. Best we do it." Renith Riverhold:well the undead are dangerous in numbers, though even their bite can be dangerous, they are dead animated flesh.. so naturally they are disease carriers.. GeigerCounter (GM):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPKa06AiNMk Renith Riverhold:post links like that in discord GeigerCounter (GM):Right Iskir:He sauntered over to the wounded stranger, kneeling down next to him "Ye' hurt, lad? Gotta get ya' somethin' to ease th' pain...." Yusuke Oda:"hurt.. leg... nek..." Efra Mews:( Accidentally reloaded, whoops. ) Well, seeing as you've been really badly injured. I think it's time to regroup. There was a choke point in the cave that we came through, that seems like the best place to regroup GeigerCounter (GM):The party throws all the kobold bits into a pile and sets it on fire Iskir:"Aye....here, lad, lemme help ya' up...." Iskir would offer to carry Yusuke Yusuke Oda:(Yusuke be lookin like little timmy from the christmas carol rn) "yes..." GeigerCounter (GM):I'm sorry, the mental image of the dwarf carrying the 8' tall footless dude is still hilarious to me Iskir:Iskir got the odd stranger up, practically carrying him back to where they arrived 20 STR does shit to a mf Efra Mews casts Leomund's Tiny Hut Efra Mews:( Eh, it's a little smaller than that, but close enough. ) Here, we'll be able to rest a while and recover. Renith Riverhold:raises an eyebrow at the tabaxi.. Pretty interesting spell you got there.. Iskir:Iskir gently set the wounded stranger down, making sure his wounded stump doesn't get pricked or scraped "There ye' go...." Yusuke Oda:"thankeees.." Efra Mews:Thank you dearie, it's a common one at the university I work for. Even researchers like me need a comfortable place to rest, so it's one of the first spells we teach to students that are ready to go out on their own. Of course, a lot of youngsters get so seized with wanderlust they leave before learning it. Efra Mews sighs Efra Mews:I remember being that young myself. Efra Mews chuckles Iskir:He nodded to him with a smile, then turned to face the rest of the group "Alright....we know there's undead down 'ere now...'ow're we lookin' to proceed?" Yusuke Oda:brb Renith Riverhold:if we can pick them off at a distance it might be better than closing and getting, though the fact that we are in a cave system means we will likely be in close quarter combat." she says as her time training at the temple seeps into her words Yusuke Oda:back Iskir:".....Aye. We're gonna need to be careful...ah've not fought undead, but myconids can be just th' same it seems...." "....Well, ah' guess ah've fought 'em now..." Renith Riverhold:"believe it or not, I fear we were lucky, zombies dont often stay down after you knock them down" Iskir:"Truly? ....then best we burn every one we kill." Vargyr:"That's why ya burn 'em" Iskir:Iskir groaned and plopped onto the stone ground "Ah' could go for somethin' to snack on....any of ye' hungreh'?" Yusuke Oda:"meeee...." Renith Riverhold:I am concerned about how they came to be here, did some twist of magic spawn them or perhaps there is a necromancer about. Iskir:The Duergar chuckled as he rummaged through his backpack "Aye, two of a pair." He pulled out one of the sausages he bought - snapping it in two before handing one half to Yusuke "Eat up, lad. Yer' gonna need th' energy." Efra Mews:I fear it may be the latter... I have some experience with the weave and I don't sense anything that you usually do from places where the dead are rising on their own. Yusuke Oda:"thankeee" Efra Mews:What do you think then? Should we retreat and bring reinforcements? It's unwise to leave a necromancer to their craft, but that battle was already brutal. Renith Riverhold:If there is a necromancer about, it might not be safe for us to continue.. Iskir:Iskir spoke with his mouth full "Ah' think we kill the little shite while we can, but.....lad 'ere is wounded. Best we take 'im back and see if anyone can tend to his wound." Renith Riverhold:If we take him back to the local temple, its possible we can get aid from the priests there to add to our numbers, assuming we can convense them of the threat Yusuke Oda:"me hurt" "thankeee small man" Iskir:Iskir looked at Yusuke, smiling wide and nodding upward in response "Aye!" Yusuke Oda:yusuke finds it difficult given his pain but gives a cheeky grin of appreciation "not many human nice to Yusuke" Iskir:Iskir chortled heartily at being called a 'human', but took no offense "Ah' don't believe in bein' a dickhead to someone if they don't deserve it. 'Sides, you need help...can't be a shite to ya'." Vargyr:(Gonna have to head out. Thanks for running!) GeigerCounter (GM):Hey, this is about the end of the session. Thanks for coming! You can use the roleplay channels on the Discord to keep talking if you wnat. Iskir:Great session!! GeigerCounter (GM):( All good, Varg. Thanks for coming! ) Yusuke Oda:Very fun Iskir:Oh wait, do we get XP? We finished a fight Tom H.:Teddy is going to settle in and play some music for the group as we roll credits Renith Riverhold:sadly milestone GeigerCounter (GM):loooool Yusuke Oda:I love being bullied by dead kobolds Iskir:Wait it's milestone??? GeigerCounter (GM):I'll have to figure out how much Iskir:I was under the impression we were doing XP GeigerCounter (GM):It's a hybrid system where I give XP but also level you up at milestones if you don't hit the level I want from XP alone. Iskir:....Did you post this anywhere GeigerCounter (GM):I don't remember tbh. I will tho. Iskir:B r u h Let me DM Vargyr GeigerCounter (GM):I remember talking about it with somebody, but I don't know. lol Yusuke Oda:well gn folks Iskir:You NEED to remember to let everyone know Also gn! GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, you're right. Yusuke Oda:hope Yusuke can find a part in this party Renith Riverhold:night every one Waddle: 8 14 Wakizashi (+5) Yusuke Oda GeigerCounter (GM): 0 -a2cb9c48966845a5cb09|repeating_attack_-luOgJDb5XcQFIg2tNdm_attack abjuration cantrip Components: V, S, M SPELL SAVE DC: 12 Firebolt evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Target: 1 object/creature in range Components: V, S, M Duration: Instant You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 fire damage. A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn’t being worn or carried. At Higher Levels.

SPELL SAVE DC: 12 Tom H.:o/ Iskir:Hello there GeigerCounter (GM):Hello, hello Renith Riverhold:good mroning GeigerCounter (GM):So when last we left off, y'all had rescued Yusuke from Kobold zombies. Iskir:Want me to try and grab Vargyr? GeigerCounter (GM):I need to make a closeup sprite of his face now to match y'all's lol Yeah, please. And pass along my apology for sleeping so long. Iskir:Uno momento GeigerCounter (GM):Cool. I'm gonna keep doing the recap while you do. So Yusuke is down a foot and y'all had discussed going back to the town to regroup. Y'all also reached level two, but it looks like only Iskir's token has been updated so far. This session is probably gonna be based around regrouping and doing the busy work of processing the level up cos Vargyr's gonna have to pick spells. While we get everybody in here, is there any questions y'all have or any downtime y'all wanna do? While we're still in the dungeon Iskir:Mind if Iskir wakes up fairly early to get his gear ready to go and be on lookout until the others awaken? GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, that's good Iskir:Word GeigerCounter (GM):So a long rest recovers 1 hit die worth of hp, right Iskir? Iskir:......It recovers all of the HP you've lost Along with spell slots and Class/Racial features GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, thanks. Couldn't remember which way it wnet Renith Riverhold:recovers half your total hit dice, and you recover your full hp and remove one level of exhaustion Iskir:Or that, best to probably ask Ren going forward as he's more experienced GeigerCounter (GM):That's what it was. I remember something to do with hit dice. Right Teddy, I'll work on getting your character sheet, is there anything you'd like to do in character? Average for HP Average: 5 Teddy:There is not, if we're resting, then that takes the priority. Teddy took a solid hit in that combat, so resting it off is first on the list for him. Renith Riverhold:She has long sense finished praying for her spells for the day she looks over the others as they continue to rest. Iskir:So it seems three of us have our gameplan for waking up Waddle:k im here Iskir:Hello there GeigerCounter (GM):Swag. Also nice art Waddle:I stole it Iskir:Mood Renith Riverhold:THIEF Iskir:I used to take art from Google before drawing my portraits lol Anyway Waddle:if you dont steal art for pfps then ur lame Iskir:Guess I'm lame Waddle:ur lame Iskir:rip Waddle:or if you make it yourself thats better because thats actual effort Iskir:I drew the art of Iskir in my pfp lol Waddle:cool if only I had art of Yusuke ok back to game Iskir:Ye Waddle:sorrt for the distraction GeigerCounter (GM):I think I gave Cap too much HP, but we're just rolling with it for now since he's an NPC No lol We're playing catchup while the DM hastily juggles plates Feel free to distract and entertain the fellow players. lol Iskir:Vargyr has been silent GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, he has. Y'all can start RPing as you like, I'll be watching. I gotta convertt Teddy's sheet bc it got put in as an NPC sheet for some reason Renith Riverhold:well my next character should Renith die will have art GeigerCounter (GM):Speaking of sheets, Waddle can you access Yusuke's now? Waddle:fixing sheet rn nno clue what to do yes I can Renith Riverhold:She looks over the others... "I wonder if I should scout ahead while we continue to wait here, more information is always better" Iskir:Iskir looked over his shoulder toward her, offering a upward nod in greeting "Ah' could join ya' if necessary." Waddle:Yusuke approaches slowly* "Yusuke can helps?" Iskir:He'd look down at Yusuke's foot, grimacing slightly "....Yer' kinda lackin'....a foot, lad." Yusuke Oda:he looks slowly down "small friend is right" hobbles over to corner or sum Renith Riverhold:At the very least we should check out whats deeper in the direction of the zombies.. while the others build a means to transport the wounded. Teddy:Teddy claps his hands together, hums a bit, and then picks up his instrument. Strumming a few notes, he waves his hand and smiles. "Good luck on the look out. I'm still a bit rattled from that other business." (Bardic Inspiration for whoever wants it) Iskir:(You want it, Ren?) Renith Riverhold:If you are willing to give it, I wouldnt mind a little aid though I wonder if getting a tune stuck in my head wont be distracting Iskir:Take it, Ren. Probably more useful for the Cleric lol GeigerCounter (GM): abjuration 1 Components: V, S, M SPELL SAVE DC: 0 Iskir:Wat GeigerCounter (GM):Misclicked Renith Riverhold:(dm casts death) Iskir:MISINPUT IT WAS A MISINPUT GeigerCounter (GM):( Targetting self ) Iskir:Awaken GeigerCounter (GM):Anyway Teddy, I should have The basics on your sheet now Yusuke Oda:dm me or sum when im needed, apologies GeigerCounter (GM):I'll fill in the details later. Can you see both sheets? Yusuke Oda: Fighting Style Class: Fighter oops sorry GeigerCounter (GM):Still nothing from Vargyr? Iskir:Nope GeigerCounter (GM):He must've assumed we weren't having a session after I didn't show up for an hour. Sad Iskir:It be what it be, the show must go on GeigerCounter (GM):Yep. I'll process Vargyr's level up when he gets back. Iskir:Kk GeigerCounter (GM):For now we move on. Also TIL you can pop out the chat. That's actually p useful for me as DM since I can manage the other tabs while still watching the chat. Renith Riverhold:Let us go Iskir, lets gather information to tell the guard.. GeigerCounter (GM):So first things first, as it's been a long rest's worth of time, the Tiny Hut dissipates Iskir:Iskir is on high alert then, knowing that the barrier no longer being there leaves them all completely open. Efra Mews lightly brushes himself off and stretches Efra Mews:Have we made a decision on what to do next, then? Iskir:"Ah' believe we're to head out back t' town to get supplies and shite, aye? Last I remember was that bein' the plan." Efra Mews:Very well. That seems wise. Iskir:He'd then kick some dirt "Though Renith had th' idea t' scout ahead, so." Efra Mews:I believe we came in from this way. Efra Mews looks to Renith to see what she wants to do Renith Riverhold:While we prep the wounded for movement I was thinking Iskir and me can investigate a bit deeper to insure that the zombie infestation wasnt just this one group Iskir:"Aye, that's what her idea was." Efra Mews:Ah. Which way would we be investigating? Efra Mews makes a mark on the wall with his staff just to keep track of where they've been Iskir:"Renith 'n I could go the down that ways." He'd point to where the Kobolds from the day prior came from. "We'd be back o' course. Best t' see if anything is waitin' for us when we return." ((Dunno why "the" is in there, but yeah)) Efra Mews thoughtfully considers this Efra Mews:We should probably not go too far without you. This spot seems like a natural choke-point in the cavern, the opening of the cave was much more open and could leave us vulnerable to attacks. If you're going to explore ahead it's probably best for us to just stay put inside a Tiny Hut And we'll head back together. Iskir:Iskir would nod "Best y' put it back up for now, Renith and Ah' will be back quick." Efra Mews recasts Tiny Hut Efra Mews:Best of luck to you. Remember that you can get in, but enemies can't. So if you get overwhelmed, run back here Who all is going? Iskir:The Duergar would grab his greataxe and saunter out, motioning for Renith to follow Oh wait, she's already out GeigerCounter (GM):lol Will just have Yusuke, Vargyr, and Cap stay in for now. What about you, Teddy? Are you going exploring with them? Teddy:Teddy is resting, and staying with the camp folk. If the hut is here for protection, Teddy will likely play some music to try and keep spirits up Iskir:Valid. Yusuke Oda:sorry for not doing much Iskir:It's alright GeigerCounter (GM):It's okay right now. Iskir:I gave Geiger an idea involving Rule of Cool But c'est la vie GeigerCounter (GM):I'll check it in a minute Renith Riverhold:let us hope that our eyes will guide us well in this dark place. GeigerCounter (GM):Also hey real quick actually, something I've been meaning to ask you Mara Is it supposed to be "Renrith" with two r's or "Renith" with one? Renith Riverhold:Ren.. ith GeigerCounter (GM):thanks. I had gotten it wrong somewhere else So what are you doing atm? Iskir:"Was livin' in th' Underdark all mah' life, Ahm' hopin' these eyes keep up in th' dark." Renith Riverhold:well stealthing through the cavern letting dark vision lead us on ward GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, go ahead Renith Riverhold: 26 15 STEALTH (6) Renith Riverhold Yusuke Oda:dayum Renith Riverhold:so 26 for me GeigerCounter (GM):Huh Iskir:rolling stealth GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah that's good Iskir: 19 18 Stealth(+3) Iskir so 18 GeigerCounter (GM):That also passes Iskir:Coolio GeigerCounter (GM):You both proceed further into an open area of the cave. ok just a moment Renith Riverhold:300 ft of dark vision go GeigerCounter (GM):You spot some kobold zombies gnawing on a furry corpse in a large alcove Yusuke Oda:furry... GeigerCounter (GM):There's also a humanoid zombie passively wandering around But it doesn't seem to care about you Ahead in the distance you can see a pit which seems to have lightly glowing crystals growing up the wall Renith Riverhold:whispers to Iskir of the zombies wondering and feasting in the shadows.. GeigerCounter (GM):lmao, that sprite got so stretched It's fine tho Alright, so now what do you do? Iskir:The Duergar furrowed his brow, huffing quietly through his nose. He spoke very softly to the Elf "Best we don't get too close...if things get heated, could attract a horde or somethin'..." Renith Riverhold:I could leave you here and keep investigating deeper.. GeigerCounter (GM):Also, you should technically be seeing a lot farther rn SO One sec Renith Riverhold:yup I can see for days in the dark Iskir:Rolling his eyes, Iskir would huff "No, if yer' goin' in, so Ahm' I." Renith Riverhold:is this up or down in elevation? GeigerCounter (GM):You see movement off in the pit that looks like the walls are moving, the glowing crystals covered in a pulsating blackish mass that moves over it Down The red line is a sudden dropoff There, that's the part that should be visible to you Renith Riverhold:k There seems to be a drop off a bit farther down, if push comes to shove we could push the zombies over the ledge if we get into trouble. GeigerCounter (GM):lol, yep.

)

Renith Riverhold:I have an idea..lets move over to here.. here move behind me.. stay here.. GeigerCounter (GM):hold up, my computer's freezing What are we doing? The zombie moves towards the center of the opening while you move stealthily So he's over there now Renith Riverhold:She knocks and draws and arrow and begins to pelt the zombie with arrow after arrow making use of both her dark vision and long range. Should be attack with advantage. GeigerCounter (GM):roll it Renith Riverhold: 25 21 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold 11 Percing Iskir:Jfc Yusuke Oda:i think it hit Renith Riverhold:just imagines the zombie wondering where the arrow came from as it just flys in from the darkness GeigerCounter (GM):hmmmmm.... Ngl, I wasn't expecting you guys to try and kill these zombies, I thought you'd just let them be. I am not prepared for you to gain more xp But yeah, the arrows pelt the zombie Iskir:Expect the unexpected Renith Riverhold:mile stone xp is how you get around that GeigerCounter (GM):That's about to be how this is gonna have to work, yes Teddy:amen to that GeigerCounter (GM):Too bad, because I like number go up Can't blame you for grinding xp tho, it's what I'd do Renith Riverhold:also the reason I am fighting is because the expensive of the spell just used and I want to make it worth it so she wants to plunge deeper into the cavern. Teddy:if xp leveling was king, just buy a bag of rats, delete all of them at once, watch the numbers skyrocket GeigerCounter (GM):Anyway, as the zombie has no practical way to fight back and you hit it well for the first one, roll 1d4 to see how many additional arrows you expend Renith Riverhold:rolling 1d4 ( 1 ) =1 GeigerCounter (GM):Cos he ded welp Iskir:Wait GeigerCounter (GM):Two shots Iskir:Bardic Inspiration Yusuke Oda:huh Iskir:Lmaaaoooo GeigerCounter (GM):The goddess blesses your eyes Renith Riverhold:Ill use that when I need it Iskir:ye GeigerCounter (GM):Fuckin' Legolas cousin Yusuke Oda:looooool Renith Riverhold:she will slide down and begin to pick off the kobolds long bow has a range of 150/600 feet GeigerCounter (GM):Right Roll on the kobolds Renith Riverhold: 20 24 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold 12 Percing Iskir:W h a t GeigerCounter (GM):A'ight Yusuke Oda:god mf damn the good rolls keep coming Iskir:She's an Elf alright Teddy:low level dnd, gotta love rocket tag GeigerCounter (GM):You know what, I don't wanna run a combat atm, just roll 3d4 to see how many arrows you use Renith Riverhold:rolling 3d4 ( 1 + 3 + 2 ) =6 GeigerCounter (GM):They're too far away to be a threat Okay Yusuke Oda:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GeigerCounter (GM):You expertly one-shot one of the kobolds, severing its spinal chord, the others moan as they are hit with arrows and go down in just a few shots each All the undead are redead Renith Riverhold:.... attempts to sneak up on Iskir 10 STEALTH (6) Renith Riverhold Iskir: 14 Perception(+1) Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):Roll stealth against his passive perception Yeah, he spots you Renith Riverhold:Okay.. ready to continue.. ? lets go see what they were feasting upon..

GeigerCounter (GM):Reusing sprites, less go As you approach Renith Riverhold:what was the zombie? 17 INVESTIGATION (2) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):The zombie appears to be a dark-haired human in a green uniform with a logo of a falcon. Roll history, ig? Iskir:I can too, if need be lol GeigerCounter (GM):Not sure what roll is best for identifying the logo Renith Riverhold: 21 HISTORY (2) Renith Riverhold Iskir:Fuck it, Iskir is ballin' GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir hasn't been on the surface long enough to recognize lol Iskir:Rolling that Duergar history knowledge I'm rolling anyway just to see what I get GeigerCounter (GM):Fair Iskir: 14 History(+0) Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):Renith, you recognize the colours and mark as a competing mercenary company based out of the Scar So he used to work for your current employer's competitor Renith Riverhold:(name of said company GeigerCounter (GM):Gimme sec The Stanowski company After the family that owns it Renith Riverhold:Collects half her arrows, and takes out a knife and begins to cut the falcon logo from the uniform..

Iskir:That's Not a lot Welp GeigerCounter (GM):6 silver pieces and 20 copper nope Waddle:better than nothing tho Iskir:Eh, fuck it Money is money GeigerCounter (GM):Also since you rolled a nat 20 on the investigation You loot a secret dagger Iskir:SECRET DAGGER GeigerCounter (GM):It's a +1 lol Iskir:based BASED Waddle:nice Renith Riverhold:the dagger that killed it the first time GeigerCounter (GM):lol Iskir:Okay so Iskir unlooped a sheath from the dead man's belt along with a coinpurse. He'd go through the coin first "Looks like....six silver and twenty copper..." Then he unsheathed the dagger "Huh...." GeigerCounter (GM):Let's say it was lodged so far in his skull that it couldn't be seen without a close check Renith Riverhold:Well maybe now you will be able to afford some vegetables and fruits next time you go to the fair Iskir:OH OKAY NEVERMIND, HE YOINKED IT OUT OF HIS HEAD GeigerCounter (GM):;p; lol Iskir:Iskir let out a low, throaty chortle "Least it looks t' be of quality make, Ah'll be keepin' this." His comment was made to himself as he looked it over Renith Riverhold:Eyes the furry creature on the ground then the kobolds surround it.. GeigerCounter (GM):So Renith, you approach the gnawed up corpse of another creature of whatever Yusuke's species is. Renith Riverhold:(how long has the dead been dead. GeigerCounter (GM):Recent dead His eyes have been eaten out, but the rest of his face is relatively intack, locked in a rigour mortis scream So you can do a medicine check to get a more specific read on how long he's been dead, but it's been less than a day Renith Riverhold:frowns.. Poor soul, I dont think even if I wasnt being tactical I could have saved them.. " she looks over the creature's clothing, wondering if its another from this company GeigerCounter (GM):Nope. His clothing is obviously of a completely different make than anything you're aware of humans in the region wearing and to your eye closer matches what Yusuke's been wearing. Renith Riverhold:Well you seem to be better at this.. so lets search him together and see if there is anything to help compensate our recent amputee (provides iskir the help action) and gidence guidence Iskir:Iskir will indeed help Renith Riverhold:rolling 1d4 ( 2 ) =2 so take advantage and +2 GeigerCounter (GM):Yep Investigation check Iskir:Rolling Investigation Wat Hold on smh 6 Investigation(+0) Iskir 5 Investigation(+0) Iskir Iskir:Well that sucks ass GeigerCounter (GM):haaaah Iskir:Shut the fuck up Lmao Ren's gonna roll too right? GeigerCounter (GM):All you find is a necklace which is made out of some common stone, but etched with symbols you don't recognize. You decide to take it with you I mean, you guys could keep rolling, but honestly you weren't gonna find much more than that. Renith Riverhold:she will begin to investigating the kobolds Iskir:Iskir would step back and pocket the necklace, intending on giving it to Yusuke Renith Riverhold:mostly looking for identication of clans or anything like that.. she knows there wouldnt be much GeigerCounter (GM):The kobolds have nothing of value on them and are in a more advanced stage of rot. Roll a nature check to estimate the time of death. Renith Riverhold: 11 INVESTIGATION (2) Renith Riverhold 14 NATURE (2) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):Okay, so... using your best estimate based on what you know of the natural world, you'd estimate these zombies are perhaps ... three weeks dead. They still smell quite badly, but not as badly as they could and they are missing parts. The necromancy magic makes it difficult to tell for sure. Renith Riverhold:Iskir, "do you know if kobolds brand them selves or any way of identifying themselves as being part of a clan or with another clan? GeigerCounter (GM):Also OOC reminder that you guys have a kobold companin you can ask that. Renith Riverhold:(but kobold is not with us.. and Iskir is an underground dweller like kobolds soo.. elf is making assumptions) Iskir:He looked at her with a scarred brow raised. The Duergar promptly shrugged in response Renith Riverhold:While Iskir thinks on her question she collects half her spent arrows. do you have rope on you? we might need to reple down into that lower area.. Iskir:"......Y' sure ya' wanna do that? Not many hours in a day and we gotta get back t' town..." Renith Riverhold:The spell that was cast last for 8 hours.. it would be a shame to waste such a spell with only less than an hour of investigating Iskir:He'd sigh heavily and pull the bundle of rope from his pack "Aye, Ah've got rope..." He sauntered over to her with it Renith Riverhold:how far down is it? GeigerCounter (GM):okay About 25 feet. Your length of rope should be long enough. But before you go down there. Make a perception check Iskir:Doing so now Renith Riverhold:is it an incline or shear cliff Iskir: 12 Perception(+1) Iskir Renith Riverhold: 11 PERCEPTION (6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):Sorta in between, but closer to a cliff Iskir:Not bad GeigerCounter (GM):So Renith Riverhold:passive is 16 GeigerCounter (GM):Right So Now that you're closer you realize the writhing black masses on the walls are in fact millions of tiny black arachnids of some kind and that the entire area down there appears to be covered in web. Do you still want to proceed? Renith Riverhold:looks to iskir, do you think if I went down you would be able to hold the line, and be able to hull me back up if need be? Iskir:Iskir very quickly gags and stumbles back, reminded of certain Priestesses he's seen in the Underdark Renith Riverhold:she looks around.. hmmms.. is the floor covered in web or is the floor a web suspended over nothing GeigerCounter (GM):Floor and walls covered in webs. Renith Riverhold:She looks to Iskir.. "well that looks... flammable.." Iskir:"Aye, it does....and Ah' don't like it...." Renith Riverhold:can I roll a nature to see if the web is something a colony of natural spiders can craft of if its on the scale of giant spider. of->or GeigerCounter (GM):uhhhh, Does Renith have back story expertise on spiders? Cos if not, I'd say no but that if Iskir's expertise fighting drow would give him, he could. But the DC is 15 Yeah So she wouldn't be able to know Iskir:I can roll for it GeigerCounter (GM):Go for it. Nature roll, DC of 15 Iskir: 9 Nature(+0) Iskir Welp Nevermind GeigerCounter (GM):So all you know is that there's webs and lots of spiders in the hole Renith Riverhold:slides over and see if she can see up the hallway Iskir:Rip GeigerCounter (GM):Big ol' spider nest over here Renith Riverhold:hmms.. looks up.. is the ceiling closed or open GeigerCounter (GM):Ceiling is open, but goes up about 50 feet with stalactites dripping water Tom H.:(It's getting late here, and I have work early. I'm going to take off for the evening. Thank you for running the session this evening!) GeigerCounter (GM):Er, ceiling is closed, rather Iskir:See you, Teddy! GeigerCounter (GM):( You're welcome. IS there anythingyou want Teddy to do before you go? ) Renith Riverhold:moves back and collects Iskir and tells him.. "lets head back to the group, its possible we could avoid this area ad there is another entrance on the far side. Tom H.:(Theres a lad missing a foot, and an elder present. If teddy can keep that pair from being downtrodden about the situation, that's all that really matters to him.) Iskir:"....Aye, Ah don't....wanna stick around..." He'd turn on his heel and head back, shaking off the disgust GeigerCounter (GM):( Righto. ) Renith Riverhold:so spider and zombie infestation.. though I couldnt see all that way down into that area.. I wonder if that is where the shrine selune is.. though given the ceiling was closed... I kind of doubt it. (ooc yeah and its time for me to start heading off.. ) GeigerCounter (GM):( Fair enough. ) Iskir:(We can have us head outside and stop there?) Renith Riverhold:quick iskir, get in the bubble before the spiders get you Iskir:(Or that can be next session lol) GeigerCounter (GM):( We'll do that next session. ) Renith Riverhold:yup yup might need oil vials for Iskir Iskir:Bro needs a Necklace of Fireball GeigerCounter (GM):lol Well there's always Vargyr's Fire Bolt Waddle:Im gonna wuit, im feeling pretty out of it sorry Renith Riverhold:I always enjoy the necklace of fireball.. I would give it to bad guys and if the players rolled a crit, I would have the roll a percentage to see if they detonate the necklace. Iskir:O o o f GeigerCounter (GM):@Waddle, it's okay we're done for the night Sorry you're not feeling well Will DM Iskir:Take it easy man I'll be heading out too, catch you guys later! GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah. I gotta check over some stuff Renith Riverhold:the power of a twilight cleric and a long bow.. too bad its power drops off in a few levels Iskir:R i p Guess we'll see how it fairs while we're still low level lmao Renith Riverhold:but its okay.. light on an arrow.. will allow the poor sighted wizards and sorceres to have a target to drop fireballs at distance in the dark Iskir:I can't wait to get Rune Knight on Iskir Renith Riverhold:iskir wants to win all the arm wrestling competitions Iskir:This is true Renith Riverhold:anyway, I am off.. elf out Iskir:Night!

Iskir: 24 Athletics(+7) Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):2 ok Hey Tom, you can grab 2 more level 1 spells and another cantrip Also can you see and edit the character sheet that says "Teddy Cottontail"? You'll have to add the portrait yourself. Tom H.:As a note, teddy's background gives him an extra two cantrips and an extra first level spell from either bard or cleric GeigerCounter (GM):Oh? Fair enough Send me the trait page on Discord please, I'm putting in the traits right now But can you edit your sheet? Iskir:Smart call on the background GG Tom H.:Yes, I can edit it there's a lot more functionality than the first one I had for teddy GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, this is what you were supposed to have all along This is the most complicated Feat I've dealt with yet, tbh.

Does that look right? Tom H.:Yep GeigerCounter (GM):Cool. Then I'll let you handle adding your spells if it's working right for you now Just delete the NPC sheet when you're done with it There we go. Got our dungeon ambiance going. Renith:yup GeigerCounter (GM):cool Renith Riverhold:just fixed my channel div, had grave cleric due to a different game GeigerCounter (GM):I believe we're just waiting on Vargyr rn. So, Waddle isn't gonna be able to play for a few sessions because he needs a new computer, so Yusuke's just passed out. And he said that's fine. I'll do the recap shortly. But is there any questions anyone has? Renith Riverhold:nope GeigerCounter (GM):Alright. Let me check on Vargyr real quick Renith Riverhold:just wondering if the guards are going to give us aid or they just tell us.. Git Gud GeigerCounter (GM):lol Tom H.:"We need help!" "You are the help! Do your jobs!" GeigerCounter (GM):lol Renith Riverhold:I mean I truely expect us to loose some or all our commission GeigerCounter (GM):Well, it remains to be seen. Who knows? Maybe you'll find some treasure along the way that makes up for the lost revenue. :) Renith Riverhold:its the friends we made along the way GeigerCounter (GM):Could be. ;) Renith Riverhold:which we could then sell to slavers for profit. GeigerCounter (GM):Hah! very priestly of you Anyway Renith Riverhold:that diamond dust isnt going to buy itself GeigerCounter (GM):Can't really dispute that one. To do the recap: Last session Teddy and Vargyr stayed in the bubble, with Teddy doing his best to keep spirits up and make sure that Yusuke remained stable. He has unfortunately lapsed into a coma due to his loss of his foot and possibly zombie distemper. Iskir found a cheap stone necklace carved with symbols he doesn't recognize around the neck of a dead member of Yusuke's species after Renith engaged in some sniper kills. The party discussed regrouping in town to resupply and possibly hire additional help as this job has become more complicated than expected due to the presence of the undead. Y'all are currently taking a short rest inside the Tiny Hut. It's got about 4 hours or so remaining on its cast. Or eight hours minus however long it took Renith and Iskir to explore. GeigerCounter (GM):Yusuke's condition is stable, but he is unconscious and prone. What do you do? Renith Riverhold:undead and also the presences of spiders Iskir:Iskir is getting Yusuke ready for the trek out of the cave system, as he plans on carrying him out. Renith Riverhold:did anyone bring fixings for a tent? Tom H.:"It seemed redundant. Can't think there'd be much rain down here... but the cloth would come in useful right about now." Efra Mews:And I prepared Tiny Hut to make such things redundant. Hmm.... Let me see if there's anything in my spellbook that could be of use. Renith Riverhold:Looking to the aged tabaxi, "do you have any means of horizontal convance that you could conjur.. (do you have tensers floating disk) Efra Mews flips through his spellbook, barely acknowledging the question Efra Mews:( OOC: Yeah, lol. I had the same thought. ) Well... If the lad weren't so large... Renith Riverhold:in that case do you have means to make him smaller as well? Iskir:"Ah' can carry 'im out. Think mah' back can handle it." Efra Mews:You seem to know a suspicious amount about Arcane magic... Efra Mews looks to Iskir Efra Mews:Are you sure? Iskir:"Ah've done crazier shite before." Efra Mews thinks it over for a moment Renith Riverhold:she looks to Efra.. "and for a magic user of your age you seem to have a lack of such spells of the first and second circle.. and besides just because I look young I have seen many a spell caster wonder into an inn and entertain in favor of paying for the night. Efra Mews:Well, that's the downside of being a research wizard. I don't have much in the way of practical knowledge, I'm afraid. But, it's a good idea. I do indeed know the Conjuration you were referring to. I can only keep one floating disk active at a time... but maybe... Genasi, do you know anything about Conjuration? Renith Riverhold:well if you bring up this conjuration, we can load the amupti on it and we will only have to worry about taking him up the climb, which the size change could help GeigerCounter (GM):Alright, so stepping out of character for a sec. While the Enlarge/Reduce idea is a thing, I'm ruling that he doesn't have it. Also RAW, Tenser's has a diameter of 3', so Yusuke would still be dangling off the edges even at half-size. Renith Riverhold:it would be a safer means of transporting the injured than over Iskirs shoulder GeigerCounter (GM):Also, trying to let the other players participate too. Renith Riverhold:(so if we take off the rest of his leg he will fit better.. alright iskir get the axe) Iskir:"......Ah' can just carry 'im, y'know." Efra Mews:Well just a moment, let's consider our options. Efra Mews turns in his spellbook to the ritual Efra Mews shows it to Vargyr Efra Mews:Do you think that you could cast this? Renith Riverhold:"Iskir.. "i suppose we could attempt it if we dont have any other option but I was hoping to use your strength at the wall to help pull up those of us less athletic Cody K.:"I know a few things about it. Yes..." Vargyr:"I know a few things about it. Yes..." Efra Mews retrieves a vial of mercury Renith Riverhold:Raises an eyebrow...... Iskir:He looked at Ren, then sighed "Ah'....s'pose." Efra Mews:Here... Do you have a spellbook with you? Or... perhaps I have some parchment. Efra Mews hands off the vial of mercury to Vargyr Efra Mews rustles through his bag Renith Riverhold:well thats a shiny liquid.. Vargyr would take the vial of mercury Renith Riverhold:Renith's and probably the kobold's eyes track the vial.. Efra Mews:It's needed for the Conjuration, but a drop will do. Vargyr:"I can't say I carry books around" Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern:( Mmmm... Shiny poison... ) Efra Mews:Well thankfully the ritual isn't too complex... Renith Riverhold:(oh look that droplet turned into a small bead.. it must be magic liquid) Efra Mews:In fact... You may be able to cast it from my spellbook directly. It's worth a try, what do you say young buck? GeigerCounter (GM):If Vargyr passes an Arcana check, DC 12 he can cast the spell as a ritual from Efra's book Vargyr:"Guess it wouldn't hurt" 4 ARCANA (3) Renith Riverhold:(if not.. roll consave for mercury poison) Vargyr:(well...) GeigerCounter (GM):oof Renith Riverhold:(on the plus side its a ritual so you can just try again for another 10 minute sacrifice GeigerCounter (GM) watches as the spell fails GeigerCounter (GM):woop Efra Mews watches as the spell fails Efra Mews:Ah... Well... Back to Plan A then. Renith Riverhold:(wild magic surge.. fireball detonation goes off, everyone roll new characters.. ) Efra Mews carefully takes the vial of mercury back and retrieves some fine ink from his bag. He stretches out some parchment on a rock and begins copying the spell Efra Mews:This... may take a while. GeigerCounter (GM):So, party, what would you like to do? Iskir:Iskir wants to just carry Mr. Onefoot GeigerCounter (GM):lol Just pick him up then

^)

Renith Riverhold:sooo... Iskir, your dealings with spiders..any suggestions we could offer the guard when we get there? Eyes Iskir pondering how to tie the dead weight to him.. Iskir:Iskir propped Yusuke up against the cave wall, getting him ready to be carried "Fire." Renith Riverhold:so more oil flasks.." she grips Yusuke's arms and pulls them over Iskir's shoulders pulling out something to bind Yusukes hands together.. (ooc how tall is yusuke and how tall is Iskir) GeigerCounter (GM):A reminder: Yusuke is about 8' tall, so you'll need to bind his legs Iskir's 5', iirc A very tall dwarf Renith Riverhold:(ooc do we know Iskir can enlarge) GeigerCounter (GM):( Not to my knowledge. He doesn't have that ability yet, iirc. ) ( Ope. ) ( His internet died, he's messaging me from his phone. ) Renith Riverhold:She pushes the upper body as much as she can on to Iskir, "alright lets head out," she says moving to gather up the legs under each of her arms.. GeigerCounter (GM):( Alright, gimme a sec Alright, he's trying to fix his internet and I'm autopiloting Iskir until then. Onwards and forwards! Efra Mews realizes that the party has begun to leave without him and looks at the unfinished spell scroll. Sighs lightly and abandons it. Renith Riverhold:(drow have infected his pc) Efra Mews:( So it seems. ) Renith Riverhold:(the true reason Efra doesnt have spells in his spell book) GeigerCounter (GM):( Such is the life of a research wizard. ) Y'all proceed to where the cavern opens up again. What do you do? Iskir:Test It's so real A'ight we back GeigerCounter (GM):( welcome back ) Iskir:(I rolled STR from my phone to lift Mr. Onefoot and got a nat 20 out the gate, shit's dope) GeigerCounter (GM):A kobold zombie just crit-failed its stealth roll and accidentally went over the edge of the pit, it gets impaled on the sharp crystal below and its remains fall into the water Renith Riverhold:(the infection of this machine has been removed the soul of this machine has improved. ) GeigerCounter (GM):So y'all all saw that zombie kobold fail at (un)life What do you do? Iskir:Iskir snorts in response, careing little either way about the undead Kobold die. Renith Riverhold:hmms "a self correcting problem?" Iskir:*dying Renith Riverhold:Lets continue to move, the longer we terry, the heavier he will feel Iskir:Wait, where's my avatar? GeigerCounter (GM):Under Yusuke ther Renith Riverhold:(its using cover to hide from you) Iskir:HE LOOKS LIKE A DONPHAN Anyway GeigerCounter (GM):lol Tom H.:We're getting hit with tornado warnings here... paobably because the temperature's dropping 50 degrees in like 6 hours Iskir:O o o f GeigerCounter (GM):oh Do we need to call the session early? Tom H.:I'm going to go and check what the game plan is for getting away from windows on that GeigerCounter (GM):Righto Renith Riverhold:(buns fur went from summer coat to winter coat in an instant) GeigerCounter (GM):( Yeah, Tom seems to live in a place of extreme meteorology. ) Renith Riverhold:(he is a secret tempist cleric) GeigerCounter (GM):( More like a storm sorcerer who hasn't figured out their power yet. ) Renith Riverhold:(wild magic druid) GeigerCounter (GM):You see the exit of the cave before you, but you hear a sound coming from the north. Cap seems alerted by the sound. Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern:Over there. Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern points to the north Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern:A voice... Renith Riverhold:looks over in that direction Iskir:"....Who???" Iskir looks in the direction as well GeigerCounter (GM):Renith, make a perception check. Iskir:I can as well GeigerCounter (GM):Also remind me if your darkvision aura applied to everyone. Renith Riverhold: 11 PERCEPTION (6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):@Iskir How much Darkvision do you have? Iskir:I have Darkvision by default 120 ft GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, go ahead then That's enough Iskir:Rollin' 17 Perception(+1) Iskir Based GeigerCounter (GM):That'll do Renith Riverhold:she will use her action to do it so ignor her roll Eyes of Night Class: Cleric level 1 You can see through the deepest gloom. You have darkvision out to a range of 300 feet. In that radius, you can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light.

As an action, you can magically share the darkvision of this feature with willing creatures you can see within 10 feet of you, up to a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one creature). The shared darkvision lasts for 1 hour. Once you share it, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to share it again. GeigerCounter (GM):Cool Iskir, you can barely make out a figure huddled on a small stone outcrop, shivering and crying for help Iskir:".....Wait...." He narrowed his eyes ".....It's a child, I think!" Renith Riverhold:(just how much can the shoulders of Iskir bare..) GeigerCounter (GM):( If you take a look at his official art there, you'll see they can "bare" quite a bit. :^) ) Iskir:(Shut up) Renith Riverhold:Looks to the bard.."go see if she needs help, we will take this one over to the wall and settle him down and then join you." (the wall being the entrance we had to go down to get in here) Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern:( ooc: Not sure if Teddy's with us, so I'll just pilot him for now to do that. Sorry if that's not what he'd do. ) Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern calls to the kobold child in draconic, telling her to stay calm Renith Riverhold:The sound of kobold calming Yip Yip fills the cavern Come Iskir, lets move so we can take the load off and go investigate Iskir:He raised a scarred brow at her, shifting one of his shoulders up and down to show that he was still carrying Yusuke Vargyr:"Better if you guys handle this. I'm no good with kids" Renith Riverhold:That is something we will need to work on, victims come in all shape and sizes Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern looks at the kobold child, wondering just how she got up so high, she's nearly 20 feet up Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern: 17 10 ACROBATICS (1) Renith Riverhold:hold up a minute Iskir.. she lets the legs down easly then draws an arrow, casting light on it and readies to take aim.. 6 seconds later she lets the arrow fly to the east of the group with the child. GeigerCounter (GM):No, East is to the right. The group with the child is to the north. What you spotted is over that way Renith Riverhold:more or less towards what I spotted.. misread the whisper GeigerCounter (GM):Gotcha Renith Riverhold:so yeah placing a light source somewhere in the area of said skulker what do we see given everyone has 300 feet of dark vision GeigerCounter (GM):Right, sorry You see an unusually agile zombie scurry away around the corner In response to you firing a light Renith Riverhold:She hmms but isnt surprised she puts away her bow and picks up the legs once more.. Iskir:Iskir clicked his teeth in response Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern didn't notice what just happened, but Teddy probably did. They discuss for a moment how to rescue the kobold child. Renith Riverhold:So I was thinking Iskir, we tie a rope around this guy, you climb up and then pull him up the cliff face.. if you want more of a strength challenge.. we could tie the wizard to the line as well.. Iskir:"Ah'......s'pose we can do that. If all else fails Ah' can just carry 'im up." GeigerCounter (GM):( Asking Teddy what he wants to do as far as rescuing the kobold child while the rest of the team focuses on Yusuke. ) Renith Riverhold:even with guidence.. you could still slip and fall.. while I am sure your load would provide a safe landing for you, I fear it might bring ruin to the entire exercise. Teddy Cottontail calls to Renith, "Could you cast Guidance on me?" Teddy Cottontail:( I okayed this with Teddy over Discord ) Renith Riverhold:She raises an eyebrow at Teddy.. "I could if you like, I could tell stories about how I imparted inspiring words to a bard." she sets the legs down and moves over to teddy to cast.. Teddy Cottontail: Rabbit Hop Racial: Harengon As a bonus action, you can jump a number of feet equal to five times your proficiency bonus, without provoking opportunity attacks. You can use this trait only if your speed is greater than 0. You can use it a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Renith Riverhold:touches teddy giving them a d4 Teddy Cottontail: 21 21 ACROBATICS (3) Teddy Cottontail welp Iskir:Yeah, I think he succeeded Teddy Cottontail:rolling 1d4 ( 3 ) =3 Renith Riverhold:(though I am surprised he didnt use bardic inspiration on himself) Teddy Cottontail leaps 10 foot straight up and catches a handhold in the wall Teddy Cottontail climbs over to the kobold child Teddy Cottontail:There, there little one. Can you understand me? Kobold doesn't seem to understand, looks at Teddy frightened. Renith Riverhold:(in another level I could cast calm emotions.. too bad) Teddy Cottontail asks Cap to tell the Kobold Child to climb on his back so they can get her to safety. Once she reluctantly does so, Teddy carefully climbs back down, humming a cheerful tune to calm the child. GeigerCounter (GM):( Yeah, I thought about rolling a persuasion check for this and if Tom were here to play I would've, but it's not so fun just playing with myself. ) The kobold child converses with your kobold companion for a while and climbs into his arms. He seems to have experience with handling children. Efra Mews grabs Yusuke's legs and uses what strength he has to keep them from dragging the ground GeigerCounter (GM):As you all are at the entrance, you see a swarm of kobold zombies head into the bend where Renith had fired the arrow. Now might be a good time to make your exit. What do you do next? Iskir:Iskir - with Yusuke over his shoulder - called out to Renith. "Forget the rope! Ah' need to get 'im out of here!!" Renith Riverhold:start climbing iskir I will try to slow the zombies.. begins to pepper the zombies with arrows Iskir:He would nod, promptly starting to attempt the climb up with Yusuke GeigerCounter (GM):The arrows hit their marks and damage or even kill the kobolds, but there seem to be more coming to take their place. Iskir, roll athletics. Vargyr, what do you do? Iskir: 25 Athletics(+7) Iskir You love to see it Renith Riverhold:quietly wishes she prayed for bless after the long rest.. Vargyr:um... GeigerCounter (GM):Wait a sec, Iskir, I forgot. That roll was supposed to be with disadvantage because he's heavy. Iskir:Ope, right Lemme roll again 23 Athletics(+7) Iskir GeigerCounter (GM):That'll still do. Iskir begin the arduous climb, slowed by the weight of the Syg. It'll take at least a minute to get to the top of the wall at the rate you're going. You have the option to hammer in pitons along the way, but that'll slow you down. Iskir:Iskir will hammer them in for the sake of the others and himself. Also, you were gonna do/say something Vargyr? GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, you can still take your action. Right now, everything's happening all at once. Vargyr would extend his hand and would shoot out fire from it at one of the kobolds Vargyr:rolling 1d20 ( 10 ) =10 GeigerCounter (GM):Right, sorry, I forgot to move them closer Vargyr:add 4 to that So 14 GeigerCounter (GM):Its AC is 11, so that's a hit Renith Riverhold: 7 150/600 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold oh well.. Iskir:O O F GeigerCounter (GM):We're not gonna bother with rolling damage rn, it's an instant death. Iskir:Can Iskir fire a shot from his light crossbow at one once he's at the top? GeigerCounter (GM):I'm not gonna do the bookwork for all of these right now, but imagine there's like 40 of them and every hit is a kill. No, you'd have to climb back down to do that. Iskir:What's the drop height? Renith Riverhold:I think its more just you are in a shaft and dont have line of sight GeigerCounter (GM):Like 120 or something. I forgot what I said before. But it's more than is safe to jump Iskir:Max range on Light Crossbow is 320 GeigerCounter (GM):The problem is you're climbing up the wall on the outside of teh cave. Iskir:But if it's just a shaft then nvm I suppose GeigerCounter (GM):The zombies are inside of the cave, there's no line of sight Iskir:Right Fair enough Renith Riverhold:On the plus side everyone.. at the very least I have turn undead when when they close.. but lets see if we can slim their numbers while Iskir builds us a ladder.. do take your time.. GeigerCounter (GM):Right, so Iskir's continuing to climb while you fight them off, he secures one rope then the next. The swarm gets closer, some of them going around in either direction and some falling into the pit. Efra looks back and forth trying to figure out a way to help. Meanwhile Cap tells the kobold baby to hold on to his back and begins to climb the rope up after Iskir. Renith Riverhold:looks over at Vargyr, "I dont think we have ever seen a swarm of zombies before.. it must be the entire colony of kobolds.. " 24 150/600 Longbow (+6) Renith Riverhold 10 Percing Teddy Cottontail frowns and nods at this idea Renith Riverhold:fires into the mass GeigerCounter (GM):You continue to kill zombies. Efra decides that the best thing he can do in this situation is to try and get away from danger. He passes a health potion to Vargyr and says, "Godspeed! Run as soon as you can!" Renith Riverhold:(pictures the wizard just casting levitation on himself and floats up the wall) GeigerCounter (GM):( Well, I was just going to have him climb, but that is a better idea. ) Renith Riverhold:wizards.. work smarter not harder GeigerCounter (GM):( Yeah... ) Efra Mews casts levitate on himself to get a head start on the climb and not be in the way of the others who are heading up the rope GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir is now about 3/4 of the way up and the swarm continues to approach. He pushes himself to finish scaling the wall. Teddy nudged Renith and says, "Maybe we'd better get going?" Renith Riverhold:You can get started Teddy though if you have any parting words of inspiration, I suggest you give them before leaving.. Teddy Cottontail nods and places a hand on her shoulder Teddy Cottontail:One day, this will be a great story to tell around the fire. Renith Riverhold:(places hand on shoulder.. bards gotta bard..) then he rabbit jumps away) Teddy Cottontail:But as much as I'd like to be the one to tell it, it'd be better coming from you. Teddy Cottontail calls to Vargyr and motions for him to exit Renith Riverhold:So I assume we have both been given bardic insperation.. I think its a d6 or d8 GeigerCounter (GM):It's a d6 Just looked it up And yeah Renith Riverhold:Looks to Vargyr,, "I didnt look do you think Teddy cheated.. I mean he has that jump thing, I bet he could jump all the way up to the top of the cliff" she says firing another arrow.. GeigerCounter (GM):After this action, Iskir will be over the top with Yusuke ( Also I must brb to the restroom. ) ( Back. ) Renith Riverhold:(you missed it, we casted soo many fireballs) GeigerCounter (GM):( Nice. ) Vargyr is there anything you want to do? Vargyr would shoot out another firebolt "He is a rabbit after all..." He would then turn around to the wall "Ok...looks like we need to take our leave.." Renith Riverhold:after you Vargyr.. though do climb fast, I will be needing space on that rope. GeigerCounter (GM):Iskir reaches the top of the cliff and somewhat carefully sets Yusuke down without letting go of the rope. Cap is 3/4 of the way up now, climbing as carefully as he can. He's being followed by Efra and Teddy. Vargyr would then start to climb the rope GeigerCounter (GM):The kobold zombies shamble after Vargyr and Renith as they make their exit, but are still about 20 feet behind as Renith heads up the rope. Renith Riverhold:She looks at all the zombies as they close in around her.. and gives a bow to all of them.. "I appreciate your patronage but this inn is now closed." and with that she channels divinity and turns undead. Turn Undead Class: 2 lv As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action. GeigerCounter (GM):... Well-played. rolling 1d20 ( 11 ) =11 Renith Riverhold:dc 14 GeigerCounter (GM):The kobold zombies confusedly look around and stagger. They begin to disperse away from the entrance, several shambling mindlessly and falling down the pit, being dashed to bits on the rocks and crystal outcrops. Some survive, momentarily as they hit the water, but eventually sink. Renith Riverhold:With the threat averted for the moment she looks at the line ascending the rope and will take her turn when space is available GeigerCounter (GM):And that happens and now you are at the top. The party looks over the edge and doesn't see any zombies trying to leave the cave now. Renith Riverhold:Well... that was a thing.. seems the kobolds might be missing a colony Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern looks very, very sad as he holds the kobold baby Tikitear "Cap" Morgenstern:They were friends... Renith Riverhold:She looks at the kobold child and gives it a once over to see if she has any injuries or issues that she can treat before we begin the long walk back to town. medicine? or investigation? GeigerCounter (GM):Medicine. Renith Riverhold: 15 MEDICINE (6) Renith Riverhold GeigerCounter (GM):The kobold baby is perhaps bruised up, but doesn't seem to have any cuts or broken bones. Mostly she is just very afraid. She looks to be the developmental equivalent to a human toddler. She is clinging tightly to Cap and clutching the cloth symbol that he is wearing. Renith Riverhold:she hmms to this.. Teddy Cottontail gets out his instrument and begins to play a lullaby for the child and the party as they decide what to do next Efra Mews looks very distraught Renith Riverhold:well.. lets start walking, you will all feel slight better in an hour or so.. Efra Mews says to everybody and nobody in particular, "If I had known the situation, I wouldn't have come so unprepared. I am deeply sorry." Iskir:Iskir nodded at him in response "All's well, friend. Ah' don't hold it against you." Renith Riverhold:we are all alive and mostly whole... though I wonder..are you able to cast that tiny hut again Efra? GeigerCounter (GM):It is currently about 4 in the morning according to the dice. Efra Mews:Yes, of course. Gather everyone as close as you can. Efra Mews opens his spellbook and begins preparing the spell Renith Riverhold:how big of a bubble is it... she looks at the cliff face and how wide it is.. I am thinking at the very least we could possibly cork the bottle for a while.. at least prevent zombies from giving chase for another 8 hours. perhaps then they would loose intrest Efra Mews looks at her, curiously Efra Mews:... Lacking a more permanent solution, that seems like our best option. But... I'd have to climb back down to cast it in the entrance Renith Riverhold:assuming zombies had the mind to have interests to begin with assume we just got to the top of the cliff GeigerCounter (GM):Yeah, y'all are at the top of the cliff. Renith Riverhold:well whats the dimentions of the area we are standing in GeigerCounter (GM):You're in an open field, you just climbed up the wall of a canyon. The entrance to the cave would be able to be sealed by Leomund's, but Leomund's has a range of Self, so he would indeed have to climb back down to cork it. There's also a river within sight that flows down into the canyon. Renith Riverhold:hmms.. do you need two hands to cast it? and is it a dome or a sphere? might just do it half way down the rope.. at the very least your not in arms reach of the zombies and if they choose to climb, it would be very challenging one at that.. GeigerCounter (GM):It's a dome. Doesn't specify if it's one or two hands, but it's got somatic components. Also... I just checked and I don't think this idea will work RAW because if you leave the spell's area it's supposed to dissipate. But... I'm gonna rule of cool it. That said, we're basically at the end of the session. So we'll just say that Iskir and Renith go with him and he casts it and that's that and you return to the surface. Renith Riverhold:Iskir, you managed to climb the rope, holding a near dead guy and managed to hammer pitons into the rock wall.. do you think you can show the wizard how to hold the rope with his legs so that he can cast.. GeigerCounter (GM):lol The dead guy was tied to him as far as I understood. Anyway Good session, I thought. What did y'all think? Iskir:It was fun!!! The internet hiccup sucked but it was pretty brief Renith Riverhold:given the zombie hoard... I am leaning towards perhaps an infectious zombie zombie rather than a necromancer.. though perhaps the necromancer made it and lost control of it and became a zombie himself.. Iskir:An interesting theory Renith Riverhold:which would make the zombie outbreak infinantly more dangerous to the population and we are low enough level that curses still have their punch.. as I dont have access to remove curse and removing the curse on all the zombies could either keep them dead or bring the kobolds back to life for a happier if trauma induced ending GeigerCounter (GM):Lol. I can definitively say that they're not coming back to life without something like true resurrection Renith Riverhold:well that is something for Cap or the baby kobold to work towards GeigerCounter (GM):lol That'd be really funny if she ended up becoming a powerful necromancer Renith Riverhold:then again some kobolds have object permanency issues GeigerCounter (GM):Anyway, between you all you're down like 4 ropes and Renith you're down like ... rolling 4d4 ( 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 ) =13 Iskir:A Neutral Good Necromancer who forgets constantly what corpses she needs to use GeigerCounter (GM):13 arrows Renith Riverhold:yeah and not going to be able to recover those GeigerCounter (GM):Nope. Iskir:Time to buy some more! Anywho, I'm gonna head off and relax before playing CK3 Renith Riverhold:going to need to purchase a new quiver of arrows at this point Iskir:Good session! GeigerCounter (GM):I'm'a prob go to sleep soon. Good session! Iskir:E Vargyr:Yeah! Renith Riverhold:the slow progression towards level 3 GeigerCounter (GM):Will be on Discord for a bit before I sleep Vargyr:Great session GeigerCounter (GM):.... Yeeeeeeeeeah. gn tho Renith Riverhold:nini
