Courts of the Shadow Fey (Rune Stones Part V - 4e)

Game Master Rev Rosey

Part 5 of the Rune Stones saga.
This uses part of Open Design's Courts of the Shadow Fey.
Players went from level 11 to level 13 with remarkably little combat.
We lost Reason and gained Chary in this one.

Thanks! Tutavak at 40, and about to take 5 when Rev updates.


Chary eases alongside bloodied T6 and tells it that the vines will not let is move normally. The creature is now looking in an extremely bad way and the dryad is not appreciative.

Thorn Husks (aura 6). Plant allies (i.e. the trolls) deal 5 damage to their attacker when hit by a melee attack.
5 damage to Chary.

Imprisoned in briars, Tutavak's wounds heal over as the drow's mental powers remind him of the strength of Kargzant and the evil of trees.

Take ongoing. Reaping Strike on T6. 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 241d10 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 4 = 19
Guessing a miss, for 7. Rest of turn depends on whether that's enough.


Despite his misgivings, Tutavak musters enough strength to drive the troll into the ground. It collapses, but the body yet moves.

Burn it! Burn it good!


M Human / Kargzant Hybrid Fighter/Ranger 14 / Soul Igniter

Post eaten. Failed an escape. Quarry on T2 or T3 (the bloodied one; init list and map conflict). AP to Second Wind, taking a free melee (which missed) in lieu of defense bonus. Here are the special effects:
- Soulfire on self, Arianwyn, and Whiteclaw: +2 Speed, +2 Reflex, +3 fire damage per hit, plus aura effect Rev describes, TEOourNTs.
- Resist 5 Cold on Tutavak TEOE.

Save vs ongoing 1d20 ⇒ 3 Nope.

HP: 58/92 Surge: 7/9 AP: 0/1
Soulfire, Resist 5 Cold
5 ongoing, grabbed


Like Chary before him, the dryad's power gives strength to her allies.
5 damage to Tutavak from Thorn Husks.

Ignoring his predicament, Tutavak calls on the primal forces of his homeland and grants their benefits to himself, Arianwyn and Whiteclaw for a short time.

Kia is still not happy about Tutavak being in among the trolls, given what they did last time, and feels he should be cured even more. She casts a questioning glance his way.

Need to know if Tutavak wants to spend another healing surge which will almost certainly being him up to full HP. Will wait for response before posting her turn.


M Human / Kargzant Hybrid Fighter/Ranger 14 / Soul Igniter

Will accept, thanks


Female Eladrin Warlord/10

Nodding to Tutavak, Kia helps him heal with encouraging words, such as "Nice try, now see if you can get out of there."

Inspiring word for Tutavak who can spend another surge plus 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 6 = 11

Then, relying on Whiteclaw, Tutavak and Arianwyn to finish off the two bloodied trolls, she softens up T3 a bit more before stowing her bow ready to rush into the fray next round. This is the hope that it will spraed the damage among the party a bit more evenly.

"Remember that these can only really be killed by fire or acid, so it us up to you three to make sure those two trolls stay down."

Standard - Paint the Bullseye vs. Troll 3 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 321d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

That would hit, so... Against T3...
* Kia and all allies gain +1 item bonus to attack rolls against that target to end of her next turn (onslaught arrow)
* All allies gain a +4 power bonus to damage rolls that target to the start of her next turn (Power effect)
* That target is at -4 for all ranged and area attacks to the end of her next turn (Duellists Bow + Rattling effect)
* That target is at -2 for all melee attacks to the end of her next turn (Rattling effect)

Arrows left: 28
Healing left - lots

To end of encounter, please. And thanks, Kia -- at full, but not much wasted.


Kia's words prove true and she sends an arrow into T3 only to see the wound immediately close over again. Indeed, despite the arctic chill enveloping T1, T2 and T3, all the trolls look stronger. T6 rises from the ground and all six trolls turn on Chary, tearing at the drow's tender flesh. Most of the attacks miss, but the raking claws still leave formidable wounds in their wake.

Didn't T6 (at least) take fire damage at the start of its turn from soul furnace? Did that make a difference?


T6 and T2 I think, in which case T6 is dead and T2 did not regenerate. Map and init list amended below. Apologies, there are a lot of stacking effects and I will miss stuff. Please point it out when I do.

Distracted by the icy chill, Arianwyn misses.


Arianwyn blasts and misses before retreating a prudent distance.

Immediately the dryad teleports closer and wraps Kia in a briar cage.

Maiden of Pain (Ref). On hit, target is grabbed and takes 5 ongoing damage, encased in a cage of briars. The cage provides cover.

11 damage to Kia and she is grabbed and taking 5 ongoing damage.

Gesturing at Tutavak's cage, she tries to slide it and him through the tree, but fails to do any such thing.

Attack v Ref/Fort (whichever is lower). On hit caged target slides 4 squares as though Forest Walking.
1d20+18=19. Nope.

No longer taking cold damage as I'm not in the zone.


Female Drow Ardent 13

Chary will scoot a little closer to the tree and attempt to work on the first heart again. Then, with another force of will, she will give her friends another chance to hit their enemies!

move action: shift to K10 (if it is possible, since the tree takes up part of the space.
Standard action: Thievery check--1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

action point: violent impulse:
Close burst 5
Target: One, two, or three allies in burst (everyone is in the burst, so first come, first served))
Effect: Each target can make a basic attack as a free action, each against a different creature. If only one target hits, his or her attack deals 2d6 extra psychic damage. If only two targets hit, each of their attacks deals 1d6 extra psychic damage.

violent impulse may be difficult to sort out, but we are pretty quick...maybe we can sort it all out! My intention is to let three people make an attack and it doesn't really matter to me who, as long as you hit ;)


Male Eladrin Warlock (Feypact) 13 - Multiclass Bard - Hexer Paragon Path

Eldritch Blast vs T3.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 171d10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 102d8 ⇒ (7, 6) = 13
If that hits, the curse damage is fire damage

Arianwyn lashes out.


M Human / Kargzant Hybrid Fighter/Ranger 14 / Soul Igniter

Arianwyn took T3 (seemingly without Kia mods); Tutavak will strike at T2. MBA 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 351d10 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

11, including bonus fire


Chary deftly removes one of the vines encircling a heart and charms the rest of her party into taking an extra attack. Arianwyn is unable to take advantage of her offer, but Tutavak has no such qualms.

Kia - fancy attacking a troll other than T2 or T3?

If Kia tries and hits, both she and Tutavak should add 1d6 psychic damage. Otherwise, Tutavak should add 2d6 psychic damage.


Cool. Once Kia sorts herself out, the extra can be added to the relevant troll.

Note important edit re Dryad auras in the init list above. Chary you take 3 damage for moving within the aura.


M Human / Kargzant Hybrid Fighter/Ranger 14 / Soul Igniter

Take 5 ongoing. Attempt Acrobatic escape. 1d20+14=23.

Will assume that escapes, doing 3 damage to Tutavak, and shifting to J11. Cometfall Charge vs Dryad to J13, taking 3 more and OA from T2 (effective vs fey AC33, Ref27). 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 = 263d10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 9, 6) + 9 + 3 + (2) = 37

On hit (26 vs AC), 37 damage to dryad; on miss, 3 fire does not happen, but half the rest does for 17. Mark the dryad, either way.

Save vs ongoing 1d20 ⇒ 12 Yes

Tutavak finally slips the vines encaging him and lowers his lance at the dryad. Even without Suntide beneath him, he charges the dryad with deadly speed and force.

Female Eladrin Warlord/10

Unfortunately, Kia has just stowed her bow, preparatory to taking out her sword and rushing in, so she has nothing to make a ranged attack with.


M Human / Kargzant Hybrid Fighter/Ranger 14 / Soul Igniter

If I understand it, just chucking a rock would be enough to satisfy Chary's power -- and trigger the extra dice


Kia shakes her head sadly at Chary from the depths of her briar cage, but takes some comfort from knowing that her loss is T2's pain.

T2 takes an additional 2d6=6 psychic damage.

Breaking free of his own cage, Tutavak hurls himself across the tree at the dryad, missing anything vital, but nonetheless doing making his glancing blow count.

As he passes, T2 lashes out at him, but is unable to hit the whirlwind figure.

OA from T2
1d20+15=31. Miss.

Since Whiteclaw has no abilties to burn the trolls down, she goes for the dryad.

Ferocious Charge, and thanks to feats I can make at at will at +2 damage on a charge. So, it's a move to I charge to I15, taking 3 from the dryad, then use Strength of Stone. 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32, on hit: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23cold damage and I gain 4 temp hp.

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 211d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 211d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 241d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Those hit are immobilised until eomnt. If T3 is hit, then he takes 2d8 fire damage. If he isn't hit, but one of the others is, then that one takes it.
2d8 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
Effect: Teleport to Q19.

Arianwyn snarls, "I tire of this," and runs into the midst of the trolls, becoming a blur of otherworldy energy, which disappears and reappears on the other side of the battlefield.


Female Drow Ardent 13

When the troll bloodies Chary, she transfers her bloodlust to the group. After a different hit, Chary crumples to the ground amongst much blood.

no action: when bloodied Ardent Eruption--all allies within 5 squares get +4 damage UEMNT
Chary hp=-12
Hurray


As Chary falls, Arianwyn breaks apart space to demolish T3 before teleporting to the other side of the clearing. The troll falls and does not rise again, its vines incinerating before the dryad's eyes.

Balefully, she teleports out of Whiteclaw's zone and turns on Tutavak once more.

My zone is not in operation. It ends unless I sustain it, and I didn't.


Chary's bloodied form is a pool of darkness in the shadow surrounding the tree.

Anyone I hit with Otherwind Stride is immobilised eomnt.

The only one you hit was T3 and he's very dead.


Male Eladrin Warlock (Feypact) 13 - Multiclass Bard - Hexer Paragon Path

I think I actually hit T2, as I got 21 vs Fort on T1 and T3, and 24 vs Fort on T2. Bit late to go back now perhaps.


My mistake rather than yours. I'll let it stand and try to remember to look more closely at the numbers in future.

Tutavak is up.


M Human / Kargzant Hybrid Fighter/Ranger 14 / Soul Igniter

Minor: Swap weapons. Minor: Quarry T4, for the heck of it. Standard: Thundertusk Boar Strike vs Dryad AC (twice). 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 351d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 101d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 211d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Crit on the first, miss on the second. Thundertusk pushes Dryad to K6 for one hit. Crit triggers Soulfire on Tutavak TEOMNT (+2 Ref is the main thing for Rev). Crit damage 16 + 2d6 ⇒ 16 + (6, 5) = 27

Tutavak's aura flares as his first arrow strikes home against the dryad, staggering her.


Tutavak's first attacks knocks the dryad backwards a pace and allows the Kargzant warrior to channel his inner fire.
