1. GM Edwin's Zeitgeist Campaign

Game Master Insnare

Can we kill them quietly, and quickly? Ida wonders to herself. She whispers to the to the others. "I think we should kill them quietly if possible. They obviously killed the receptionist."

I figure you will not be killing the gremlins.

You move into room 3 and it looks like an office consisting of a lot of paper work and you see a safe.

You then move on to room 4. Common Room.
This room is full of discarded toys, balls, and piles of clothes.

Room 5 looks to have been a library but all of the books have been removed, where could they have gone?

6. Classroom.
The fey used mud, beeswax, leaves, and twigs to assemble remarkably
life-like sculptures of adults sitting awkwardly in the classroom’s chairs.
One woman even has her arm raised like she wants to ask a question.
The statues crumble at a touch.

7. Dining Room.
Four wooden tables with an array of broken chairs litter this room, all
of them sprouting recent growth. A group of gremlins
lounge in this room, eating leftover morsels from the previous night’s
offerings.

There was a foul smell before but now it is overwhelming.

Please give me a Fortitude save

"Creepy bastards..." mumbles Falko.

"Urgh! You smell that?!"

Fortitude with Heroism: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

Femi

Round: 1, Initiative: 15

Femi, invisibility going fast, wonders just how tough the Gremlins are. Still, there are a lot of them. Not sure how they’re bunched up so he’ll either cast Magic Missile with Toppling Spell and hit four different ones, or Burning Hands if he can get three or four of the little suckers.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Trip CMB: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Zophar

GM Rolls

Chretien's brooch hits.

Through combined force Falko and Iva kill the one gremlin. Only two of Iva's swings connected as if her blades did not want to connect with the gremlin in front of her.

Zophar pulls out his gun and it also does not fire.

Knowledge DC 28

Two bigger gremlins walk into the room from the south east.

Initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Rest

Zophar glances at his gun and Chretien's turret as neither go off, and shouts "Something is messing with firearms, switch it up!"
He then advances further into the building, taking a swing when he comes withing reach of the nearest Gremlin.

Slam Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

The knowledge was a Nature, I keep forgeting you are large.

GM Rolls

Zophar hits one of the gremlins but it seems like the blow was less effective than normal.

Falko, Iva, Chretien

Falko takes a step back to cast a defensive spell.

Mirror Image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Femi

”These big-ins also seem to be immune to fire as well as firearms.”

Femi tries a Magic Missile with Toppling Spell shooting two missiles at each.

Femi's missiles do not faze the big gremlins as they hit.

Asrabey moves forward to attack one of the gremlins 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31, 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 missing his attack as well.

Everyone except Femi

Cretien begrudgingly swaps weapons and moves to hit.

Mwk Rocbar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
dmg: 1d12 + 1 + 2d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (1, 6) = 10

Orphanage

Asrabey is in the way, what would you like to do instead, do you still have the crossbow?

Falko moves into position ten feet behind Asrabey: "Nothing seems to work!? Are these things even real?!?" he shouts, studying the creatures.

Will save with heroism: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 = 26

Zophar swings at the nearest gremlin once again, trying to shove it off balance before unloading a swing at it.

Slam Damage?: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

"They will go down, just not easily!"

GM Rolls

What is the Will Save for?

Zophar is able to shove the gremlin but he seems to have not taken as much damage as normal, his slam however was unssuccessful.

sorry the last attack on Zophar was a miss... I could have sworn it was a 2 yesterday making 10 for the touch.

Iva

Round 4

Femi

Round: 4, Initiative: 15

”Damn.” Femi swears as his spells hit the gremlins to no effect.

Femi, unsure how he can best help, tries a force missile to confirm his suspicions.
Force Missile: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

The Will save was to actively disbelieve.

Combat Over

"That was unpleasant. Is everyone alright?" Iva looks at the bodies of their enemies.

”I’m OK, just a scratch, but those last two were tough. I hope there aren’t many more like that. We should hurry, someone may have heard the fighting.”

He'll cast Detect Magic, and make a quick sweep for magics, but will otherwise wait to search further until the whole nest is taken care of.

He’s ready to proceed, but waits for others to be healed or otherwise prepare as needed.

Femi [spoiler] You are unable to discern any magic in this room except for the items your colleagus and Asrabey are carrying[/ooc]

"We need to keep moving fast. Likely we've raised the alarm... Femi, can you turn us invisible again? We might be able to take advantage of the commotion..."

"I think that would be wise, everyone gather around me, it is time to move."

"Will do Falko!"

Femi casts another Invisibility Sphere on Zophar and moves out with the group.

Not knowing exactly where to go, you first go to room 8 the kitchen. 8. Kitchen.
A large crockpot and various old metal eating implements are scattered
throughout this room.

Then you move on to room 9 the storage area. Here the putrid smell is strongest. Foodstuffs are rotting here and gives off a foul odor.

You then move out the door to the south and sitting atop the roof of room 11, is Gale, undeterred by the light
drizzle. She puts a finger to her lips and tries to discourage you from
going inside the headmaster's office with just hand gestures.

She speaks to you telepathically saying "I did not know of this location until I was teleported here about five minutes ago."

Iva waves at Gale and indicates she wants her to follow them to the kitchen so they can talk.

She telepathically says, "I cannot do that, I am oathed to be here Ekossigan of Spring. I suggest not going in there." gesturing to the office on top she sits.

She continues, "Ekossigan is an extremely dangerous Fey Lord."

Do you go in or leave?

Iva looks at the others. "What do you think? I don't fancy fighting a powerful fey lord, and possibly Gale as well. Is he the one we came to talk to?

I'm afraid I've forgotten the name of whom we were coming to "take care of".

Ekossigan is the one you came to talk to and take care of

Falko is torn: "We understand you're under oath, but so are we. Ww need to first see Ekossigan to speak with him. Can we at least get to that point?!"

Gale says, "Sure, you can go in there and I won't stop you. I am warning you to not go in there. I just cannot go to the kitchen."

"We appreciate the warning, but we've a job to do, and we're going in there. Er. Why can't you go in the kitchen? Is there something wrong with it - other than the odor I mean?" he asks a little confused, but not sure he really wants to know the answer.

She says, "The oath, I am under his command to be here while you are on the premises."

Did any of you cast healing spells or anything?

You move past Gale into the Headmaster's office. Inside the office, the headmaster’s unimpressive, but functional, furniture
has been shattered, leaving a cracked desk atop a tattered rug.
There’s a hole in the wall to the east. The fey have stashed a sizable treasure
trove of offerings underneath the bed (1,000 gp value total), though
mixed in with coins and jewelry are plates of half-chewed offerings and
more than a few squirrel carcasses.

A wooden mask with antlers sweeping back from its jaw appears in the air
in front of you. Its eyes are hollow, but it tilts slightly, as if it’s considering your
appearance. Slowly a hood fades in behind the mask, giving the impression of an
unseen head, and then a mantle of leaves over the shoulders of this invisible man.
A sonorous voice issues from the mask.
“Greetings. I am Ekossigan of Spring, devoted servant of the Unseen Court and protector of the ever-turning seasons. It is with much remorse that I come to your dull and colorless world, but I come to rid this garden of the dark seeds you have planted.”

Falko says, hoping to learn more before the fey they're accompanying steps in and things go south: "Well met Ekossigan of Spring. It is an honour to meet a Fey as prestigious as you. My name is Falko Escheus. I am but a mere human, in love with what he knows, his world. I am also an official agent of the government of Risur, which you may or may not recognize, but with which the Fey have an understanding. This is why I and my colleagues are here now. May we ask you what seed you refer to? Could it be possible that your goal and ours be aligned for but a few breaths?"

Diplomacy with Heroism, if needed: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 = 19
