Sorry, I misread the post and thought for some reason, nothing "out of the ordinary" was happening, and that my character would not be aware of anything else going on. So i was waiting for a new post also.
"Mabs? What do you mean... dearies? What has happened and why do you accuse the fey?"
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
"Just take a closer look..." Mabs said sadly.
If anyone looks closer at the fetishes hanging from the trees, you will notice that each fetish is in fact a dead crow. Each crow has multiple small arrows sticking out of them and each of them are hanging from the trees by small nooses. The reason why each looks like a "fetish" at a distance is because most of them are also morbidly decorated and desecrated in some form.
Varian Seldlon |
Why would they kill harmless birds? It makes no sense to me, as far as I know, there is nothing to be gain from this.. save perhaps warded off the random traveler.
Grandma Mable |
Grandma looks at the fetishes in shock!
"Who did this. Why did they do this. I am so sorry Mabs did you know them?"
Grandma begins to look around for the culprits
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Sevante |
Sevante gets close enough to recognize what the "fetishes" are before he backs off with a disgusted look on his face.
"More so than why, who? I doubt the bandits would just do this for the fun of it, and would likely have a hard time catching the birds in the first place. Maybe the winter-touched, for some reason..."
Raseri Whitescale |
"Ís ævintýri. They are flitting through the trees. Keep your wits about you," Raseri says in a cold, hard, quiet voice. The cold-iron sword she had been carrying now in her hands.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
As soon as Raseri warns you, six bright orb-like lights pop up all around you. One of the orbs screams in a small shrill voice, "They spotted us! Attack!"
Mable Initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16
Varian Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Caladrel Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Sevante Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Mabs Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Sprite Group Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Round 1
Current Initiative
Raseri, Varian, Sevante, Mable, Caladrel, Sprites, Mabs
Raseri's turn
Also, please be very specific of what orb you are attacking. There is a reason for this.
Raseri Whitescale |
Attacking the one to the NW of the group.
Raseri moves to the closest orb and takes the sword in both hands. The fey would be small, and hard to hit, but at least the iron sword she wield meant that any of them that were hit would know it.
"Heift vetur rennur í gegnum æðar mínar, lítið eitt. Þú myndir gera vel ef þú gefast upp, núna."
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Varian Seldlon |
Varian strikes at the closest one of the orbs (to him)
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Caladrel Wintergrasp |
Tactical tip = delay or ready action until after Caladrels hexes.
Round 1
Standard: Hex (evil eye) Sprite. -2 AC
DC:15 Will. Fail=7 rounds. Success=1 round
Move: Cackle. +1 round to Evil Eye
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Another test of our mettle."
Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the enemy next to Rasari. As he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a red glow, then fade back to blue.
"மர்ம, சக்திவாய்ந்த ஒன்று ... என் எதிரி பலவீனப்படுத்தவும் சாதகமாக வழங்க"
Caladrel chuckles in satisfaction feeling his patron has granted his request, and the hex.
Sprite = -2 AC
"We'll see how you feel after this!"
Sevante |
Sevante looks at the multiple sprites and slightly uncertain of what to do move closer to the one Raseri just tried to hit, and draws his rapier.
With an inquisitive look on his face he starts in a whimsically lilting language, "আপনি আমাদের আক্রমণ করতে চান আপনি কি নিশ্চিত? ভদ্রমহিলা এখানে একটি মেজাজ এবং একটি চমৎকার ঠান্ডা , লোহা তলোয়ার আছে..."
Grandma Mable |
Grandma quiety waits until Caladrel cast his hex, then swings at the light nearest to her.
Longspear: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Varian Seldlon |
its official, the dice are trying to kill us. While the damage dice taunt us.
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Wow... the dice are being evil aren't they... Before I say anything else, which sprite are you using your hex on Caladrel? Its very important that I know. Are you using it on one that someone is attacking or some other one? Three of the orbs will be engaged at this point and remember that its all on roll20.
Caladrel Wintergrasp |
Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the enemy next to Rasari.
on map it was left 1 square of Rasari. The only one that had been engaged (by Rasari) prior to my action
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Round 1
Current Initiative
Raseri, Varian, Sevante, Caladrel, Mable, Sprites, Mabs
Varian - You miss the orb of light as it deftly dodges your sword swing.
Sevante - The Creatures don't replay to you but you seem to have grabbed their attention as one seems to start going in your direction.
Caladrel - You try to place your hex on the sprite...
And it seems to have it's full effect.
8 Rounds, -2 AC to the Sprite Shor.
Mable - You miss the little ball of light as it curves away from your swing.
Sprite's Turn:
The sprite Raseri is fighting backs away from her (5-foot step) and flashes with multicolored light before it sprays out from it.
Rounds Unconscious, Blinded, and Stunned: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Rounds Blinded and Stunned: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Raseri's eyes roll back in her head as she falls unconscious.
Raseri is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for ... um... 7 rounds, is blinded and stunned for 4 rounds there-after and is stunned for 1 round after that.... I feel that the dice really hate you guys... I guess you can try to wake her up and I will get rid of the first part if she makes another save... and maybe I should start to fudge rolls...
One other orb of light moves closer to her prone body, but doesn't seem to do anything.
An orb of light to the north moves closer to Mabs tree and a twanging sound can be heard coming from it.
Damage Roll: 1d2 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
A small arrow hits Mabs, but doesn't seem to hurt her much.
1 point nonlethal damage.
The orb of light that Varian is engaged with rushes him...
Damage Roll: 1d2 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
and Varian feels the prick of the sprite's sword.
Varian gets dealt 1 nonlethal damage.
The other balls of light seem to get closer to the group, but they don't do anything.
Mabs turn - Mabs Swoops down and tries to tag the one in front of Raseri....
Damage Roll: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
And slashes through it, having blood rain from it staining the snow.
7 points of damage, 3 hitpoints left
Raseri is unconscious... so Varian's Turn.
Raseri Whitescale |
"Hvað--?!" Raseri begins to say something as the flood of light assaults her eyes. Magic overwhelms her senses and she's out cold before the sword hits the snow. She soon follows, her red braid coiling on the ground like a ribbon.
Varian Seldlon |
Raseri! Varian moves to strike the creature that downed his companion. He calls upon his innate magic to aid him in this fight. (swift action use arcana point to give blade +1)
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
He attempts to avoid the sprites blades on his way to aid his fallen companion
acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Grandma Mable |
Grandma swing at the ball of light once again.
Long Spear: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
I think I am digging a hole in the snow
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Varian is able to duck past the other Sprite just fine and is able to cleave his target in half, dropping two pieces of its body to the ground and permanently dousing the light of it's body.
For some reason, the glowing orb closest to it also dies out, but there is no sprite within it.
Varian... I thought dueling swords have a crit range of 19-20, not 18-20... unless I'm missing something... You still kill it either way though. ^_^
Sevante's turn.
Varian Seldlon |
Hm.. in that case, I'll just take a scimitar.. you can finesse scimitars correct?
Varian Seldlon |
I guess, I just thought it had 18-20. Was kinda hoping for the 15-20 crit range, but I guess 16-20 works..
Sevante |
Cursing slightly as Raseri falls asleep, Sevante moves up next to the closest ball of light and tries to skewer it with his rapier.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
আমি মনে করি আমরা প্রায় খেলতে যাচ্ছে না ছিল আপনাকে বলেছে.
You could get a rapier, not as nice for damage but the crit range is 18-20...
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Your attack seems to hit the ball of light, but it passes right through it.
As you look closer at the ball of light, you notice that even though it looks like a sprite's luminescence it doesn't contain one.
He also wants his favored weapon to become his Black Blade when he reaches level 3. Basically the only melee weapon that he'll use for the rest of the game, but it becomes increasingly powerful with both of his archetypes in tow.
Also really liking the use of language Sevante, Raseri, and Caladrel. Keeps it interesting.
Caladrel's Turn.
Caladrel Wintergrasp |
Round 1
Standard: Hex (evil eye) Sprite. -2 AC
DC:15 Will. Fail=7 rounds. Success=1 round
Move: Cackle. +1 round to Evil Eye
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are these some sort of illusion?"
Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the enemy 3 right of Sevante. Again he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a red glow, then fade back to blue.
"மர்ம, சக்திவாய்ந்த ஒன்று ... என் எதிரி பலவீனப்படுத்தவும் சாதகமாக வழங்க"
Caladrel presents a concerned smile, wondering if his hex is about to fall on an orb devoid of life.
Sprite = -2 AC
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Sorry about yesterday... Kinda forgot about the site maintenance.
Round 1
Current Initiative
Raseri, Varian, Sevante, Caladrel, Mable, Sprites, Mabs
@ Caladrel:
Vosi
You feel your hex resisted by the orb of light.
-2 AC for 2 rounds
@ Mable: Your Spear dig a hole in the snow as you miss the orb.
Sprites turn:
The sprite that was tagged by Caladrel's Hex flies up into the tree as the closest orb to it follows.
The Orbs of light to the north swap places and one goes behind the tree.
Mabs: Flies down to Raseri to try and wake her up.
"Wake up Hun! No time for sleeping!"
Raseri Wakes up from her stupor hearing Mabs yelling next to her.
Blinded and Stunned for 4 rounds and stunned for 1 round there after.
Raseri's Turn.
Raseri Whitescale |
Raseri swallows the panic as she opens her eyes and finds herself blind. Her head throbs and she can hear the blood rushing in her ears.
"Can't see," she grumbles as she unsteadily pushes herself to her feet.
Varian Seldlon |
don't worry, I've gotcha.
Varian guards raseri as she regains her senses.
(Readied action to strike anything that gets within range. Idk if you can 'ready' a 5ft step and strike or not but if you can then that's what I'll do)
Caladrel Wintergrasp |
Round 3
Standard: Ray of Frost at sprite.
Move: Cackle, +1 round to Evil Eye
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You creatures like this cold? Weather THIS!"
Caladrel raises an outstretched hand. Pointing his index finger at the hexed sprite.
"Incertum, pulchra, iubeo!"
A frost forms over Caladrel's hand, small icicles drip and freeze from the end of his finger. A deep, blue, icy beam of energy shoots from the tip of his finger and connects in the center of the hexed sprite's orb of light!
School evocation [cold]; Level sorcerer/wizard 0
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect ray
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance yes
A ray of freezing air and ice projects from your pointing finger. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. The ray deals 1d3 points of cold damage.
ray of frost: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
confirm crit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
crit damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Grandma Mable |
Grandma Mable will swings at the air once again.
Long spear: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
don't worry, I've gotcha.
Varian guards raseri as she regains her senses.
(Readied action to strike anything that gets within range. Idk if you can 'ready' a 5ft step and strike or not but if you can then that's what I'll do)
@ Varian: You can either "Delay" or you can "Ready."
If you Ready an action, you spend a standard action to ready a "single" action that will trigger when an event happens that you specified when you readied the action (which can interrupt other actions). Your initiative count then changes to when the specified event happened and before the initiative count of the creature that's action triggered the readied action.
Basically, you can take a whole turn if you delay, but can't interrupt other actions, and you can take a single action if you ready and can interrupt actions. So in short, if you want to ready you can only take a 5ft step or attack. I suggest taking a move action and then a ready action... Though I could be evil and just have them avoid you I guess... Hahaha! (cue evil laugh)... okay, I'm not that evil. I hope my ramblings aren't too confusing... If they are, please ask me to reword them...
@ Caladrel: Tell you the Sprite's reaction in a little bit. Don't have access to my AP Book at the moment.
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Round 3
Current Initiative
Raseri, Varian, Sevante, Caladrel, Mable, Sprites, Mabs
@ Varian: I'm going to assume that you move in there way and ready an action to attack if they get close.
@ Sevante: Whoops... Almost missed you, what action are you taking?
@ Caladrel: The orb of light is covered in frost. For an instant, the luminescence of the orb wavers showing the sprite inside. However, it doesn't look very bothered by your spell.
0 damage.
Grandma Mable |
Grandma moves up to a new ball of light.
"Caldrel dear these are creature of the ice and snow. I don't believe the cold will effect them much. Just a thought. Now this this would just hold still.. she says as she swings again.
Long Spear: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Grandma Mable |
Sorry I got a little ahead. I didn't mean to. Can we assume that is for round 4 please
Sevante |
Round 3
Having discovered his ball of light is nothing but a ball of light, Sevante slides over to the nearest floating globe and tries to skewer it with his rapier...
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
...and succeeds in hitting the cubic foot of air three feet to the right of the sphere.
Actaully hadn't posted anything for this round yet, sorry just now got on the roll20 enabled computer vs. phone... He did prod an empty, glowing sphere last round though.
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Round 3
Current Initiative
Raseri, Varian, Sevante, Caladrel, Mable, Sprites, Mabs
@ Sevante: You miss the glowing orb of light as it veers out of the way of your attack.
Then Caladrel takes his action.
@ Mable: Your attack misses the orb of light and strikes the tree behind it, gouging a huge gash in it's surface.
Sprites:
Those who don't know sylvan hear short quips from two orbs talking to each other: One in the tree and one behind it.
The one in the tree jumps down from it and tries to use magic, which elicits an attack from Mable...
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage Roll: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Which hits it in the side, revealing the creature for an instant from within it's luminescence.
8 Hp Left, Vosi
Concentration Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
However, it succeeds in casting it's spell, causing multicolored light to spew forth from it, covering Caladrel and Varian.
Varian: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Unconscious, Blinded, Stunned: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
Blinded and Stunned: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Caladrel seems to shrug off the spell, but Varian succumbs to it. Varian falls unconscious where he stands.
Varian is Unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 3 rounds, blinded and stunned for 4 rounds there after, and is stunned for 1 round there after.
The Sprite behind the tree goes up in it and fires on Caladrel...
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Having it's shot go wide, sinking a small arrow in the snow.
Mabs: Mabs flies up unto Raseri's Shoulder, "Oh, hodge podge! Why does it have to be sprites of all things..." If Raseri complains about Mab's perch she says, "Hush now Hun. We have more important things to worry about than your pride. I'll help defend you and your friend here until you recuperate."
Mabs then proceeds to speak in a weird language...
And then says "Misfortune to those who are against my wards!"
Vosi Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Failed
The sprite that Caladrel's hex is affecting has its light stutter for a moment.
Round 4 - Raseri is still stunned and blinded for 3 rounds, but I will allow a free action to speak even though you are stunned. Then its Varian's turn, but he is knocked unconscious for his turn (2 more rounds after) and then its Sevante's turn.
Raseri Whitescale |
Raseri jumps as Mabs lights on her shoulder. Once she realizes it's the crow, she bites off a curse and manages to make herself intelligible through her gritting teeth.
"Good. How long until then?"
Caladrel Wintergrasp |
Round 4
Standard: Cast Cause Fear on hexed sprite
School necromancy [fear, mind-affecting]; Level bard 1, cleric 1, sorcerer/wizard 1

"ਇਹ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕੋਲ ਹੈ ਨੂੰ ਸਰਦੀ ਦੀ ਡੈਣ ਹਮਲਾ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ! ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਨੋਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਨਤੀਜੇ ਦਾ ਦੁੱਖ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ!"
Caladrel places a hand on the decorative case holding his Harrow Deck. Makes a gesture with his other arm and hand, ending in an open palm directed at the hexed sprite.
"Vita et mors, ego autem!"
Sevante |
Sorry busy day with packing...
Round 4
Sevante takes his rapier and once again tries to forcefully place it in the ball of light in front of him.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Critical confirmation: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
critical damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Darrian Masters Dungeon Maestro |
Round 4
Current Initiative
Raseri, Varian, Sevante, Caladrel, Mable, Sprites, Mabs
@ Sevante: Your attack goes through the orb of light but hits empty air.
@ Caladrel:
Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Your spell has full effect on the sprite and seems to be highly afraid of you as the orb quivers and makes to run away.
Sprite is frightened for 1 round.
@ Mable:
I'm assuming that you're attacking the one straight to the left of you. Sorry if I got it wrong...
Your attack does indeed hit the orb of light but hits empty air.
Sprites: The sprite that Caladrel hit with his spell freaks out and flies away as fast as possible.
The Orb of light in the tree goes behind it, dims itself and attempts to hide.
Stealth Check: 1d20 + 20 - 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 - 20 = 3
The sprite disappears behind the tree and tries to hide. Make a perception check if you want to attack it, but I will leave its token there so you know the range at which you can attack it.
Mabs: Stays on Raseri's shoulder and says to Raseri "It seems they have them on the ropes."
Round 5: Raseris turn (2 more rounds stunned and blind), then Varian (1 more round unconscious), and then Sevante.
Raseri Whitescale |
Well, nothing to do but talk.
"How many are left?" Raseri asks, silently cursing her inability to see or help.
Sevante |
Round 5
Getting slightly miffed he kept choosing the wrong orbs to attack, Sevante takes a moment to look for another target.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Spotting the one in the tree and assuming from it's tactics it might actually be a sprite, Sevante slips up behind it and tries to finally poke one.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
It doesn't surprise me that wasn't a sprite. However, I didn't have access to roll 20 last night to update his movement, so I thought I would verify... and was right. Now, let's actually attack one.
Caladrel Wintergrasp |
Round 5
Standard: Hex (evil eye) Sprite. -2 Attack
DC:15 Will. Fail=7 rounds. Success=1 round
Move: Cackle. +1 round to Evil Eye hexes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hiding! You can't run away from fate!"
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the hiding sprite. As he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a yellow glow, then fade back to blue.
"மர்ம, சக்திவாய்ந்த ஒன்று ... என் எதிரி இடையூறாக சாதகமாக" என்று வேண்டிக்கொண்டார்."
Caladrel laughs maniacly feeling his patron curse the frightened sprite.
Sprite = -2 AC, -2 Attack
Someone please end this!
Grandma Mable |
Grandma Mable limps after the hiding light.
Double moves toward the sprite behind the tree
