Motteditor's Realm of the Fellknight Queen (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

Thunder Rolling slogged across the balcony, kicking writhing vines aside as he went, aiming for the nearest giant spriggan. "Nasty things, don't stay one size." he said as he tried to dodge the incoming blows. His axe whickered through the air, slicing cleanly through some of the entangling vines as it went, aiming for the spriggan's leg.

Don't they get to act first? Let me know if it's my turn.

I've still got your last action to adjudicate, Abigail. Just waiting on Koremar.

Sorry, busier than normal weekend.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Koremar struggled to stay free of the vines as he struck again at the spriggan.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Thunder wades forward, chopping at one of the spriggans as it slams him. He pays for the attack with a shot to his body 7 hp, but manages to avoid the fey's attempt to grab him and delivers a devastating blow that nearly kills his foe.30 hp

Abigail's two arrows slam into the spriggan opposite Thunder as Sacha closes in, dodging the fey's attack. 16 hp, and, yes, Sacha will need another save for ending her round in the entangle.

Kregimie sneaks in behind Thunder and using the extended reach his spear affords him, finishes off the massive spriggan.

Koremar closes with the remaining fey, next to Sacha, and slashes it 27 hp total, before the writing vines creep up and grab him again.

The badly injured spriggan lashes out at Koremar, hoping to at least cause some grief to befall the party. It slams and gores the elf, just missing vital organs both time 14 hp , and pulls him into its grasp, its thorny hide pricking Koremar's flesh.

1 left, badly injured and grappling with Koremar, who's also entangled.

Thunder rolling waded over to the last spriggan, and aimed a blow for the shoulder of the arm gripping into Koremar. "Be letting go!" He grunted as the axe came whistling down, once more. In his care to not harm Koremar, his axe whistled wide of its intended target and slammed into the floor with a heavy whoomph.

Sacha's Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Does it means its not entangled anymore? I'll assume so.

Abigail fires at the last spriggan.
Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Not sure about the rules for firing in a grapple. Couldn't find them.

Sacha, now able to move freely, attacks the spriggan.
claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23; 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 grab if hit ; 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17; 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 grab if hit ; 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20; 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
If the spriggan still stands, he's grappled while grappling!?

Kreg's actions (if needed):
Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16, damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 plus 1d6 ⇒ 6 acid damage, plus 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 1) = 14 sneak attack.

Sacha and Abigail finish off the last spriggan and the grasping vines suddenly cease their hold, dropping back to be normal plants once again.

The balcony has two other sets of doors, one a double set leading to the northeast, the other a single door a little farther east.

Abigail whispers: "Let's move quickly! Towards the music. Kregimie, lead the way."

Music was on the floor below where you are now.

Abigail coorects herself: "Let's just clear this area then!"

yes, let's leave no enemies behind to threaten us when we finally meet up with the Queen.

Koremar pulle dout his wand and started healing the various wounds he'd taken so far in the manor.

HP = 32/58

2d8 + 3 + 32 ⇒ (7, 1) + 3 + 32 = 43

2d8 + 3 + 43 ⇒ (7, 4) + 3 + 43 = 57

Wand has 18 charges left.

"Right!" Kreg says enthusiastically in response to Abigail. "I say we should get through those double doors and head right into the thick of whatever lies beyond!"

Kreg will wait for some input from his friends and for Koremar to finish healing before going to whichever door is decided upon. He will then approach quietly and inspect the door(s). Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33, Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Does anyone require healing?

Abigail lifts a hand to indicate she and Sacha are fine. She then lifts her bow, and Sacha crouches emphatically.

You hear what sounds like songbirds through the double doors.

Thunder reached down to his side where the thorny arms of the spriggans had left deep gashes. There was blood dripped from a half dozen medium-deep gashes. "I healing could use. This might lead others to follow."

Bump. Did you want to go through the doors?

Yes

Flowering vines decorate this magnificent chamber, hanging from thorny columns that rise into archways supporting a vaulted ceiling. Songbirds flutter within small, golden cages dangling from these vines. Adorning the west wall, twin tapestries depict a setting sun and a rampant moon over a primal meadow. To the east, a carpet of woven summergrass leads to a polished mirror before an ebony throne, next to which hovers a swirling cloud of smoke and shadow.

A woman, wearing all green and holding a large staff, stands up from the throne.

"Challenge me in my own realm, will you?" the fey-queen sneers. "The Second-born know their doom has arrived and you’re the best they could send?"

She gestures toward the mirror before her throne.

"Look there, if you dare," she taunts.

The mirror shows images of a raging battle between the good creatures of the forest and her Fellnight army, as well as the citizens of Bellis huddled in their homes, frightened as mist and shadow close around them.

"This prison can no longer hold me. Your sad tale ends here, your minds shattered and souls cursed for all eternity."

Initiative:
Abigail: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Koremar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Kregimie: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Thunder: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Queen Rhoswen: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Map

Thunder Snarled and charged the fey lady, axe clutched in a strong two-handed grip. He rushed across the room and brought the adamantine greataxe whistling down in a massive overhand chop.

Koremar was stunned by the Queen's beauty even his heart dropped at the scene in the mirror....We must stop her my friends!..no matter the cost...

The elf cast a spell to make himself stronger and followed the mighty warrior into the throne room. He wondered what the cloud of smoke was beside her.

Knowledge/Arcana: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Ware the air elemental at her side friends!

Bad initiative... I'll wait for the update and Rhoswen's action before posting.

As Koremar's spell adds strength to his limbs, Thunder charges in, his axe slamming into the hard wooden throne, just next to the queen.

She laughs coldly as she steps to the side. "You'll have to do better than that, mortal," she says, as she casts a spell, laughing again at the Mwangi warrior's second attempt to hit her as she steps into the wall and seems to disappear.

The swirling mass of smoke floats toward Thunder as the faerie queen disappears and, with a surprisingly solid blow, slams the fighter's face, a powerful blow that rocks his head back momentarily. 9 hp

Map

Koremar moved into the rom as well. I forgot to give direction as to where though so 30' from current position.

Thunder Rolling snarled at the smoke and carved through it with his axe, then brought the axe around in a reverse swing. "Where did Rhowen go? Must stop her escaping."

Hearing that Rhoswen might be escaping, Abigail chooses an incantation that would last longer. She softly hums an old lullaby as she pats Sacha behind the ears, before ordering it forth: "Go now, find that Queen!" She feels Erastil's grace fall upon her and she extends her arms, as if pushing the boundaries of a veil. Reality shimmers as a translucent sphere expands around her then disappears.

Following Sacha, she enters the room.

Order Sacha to seek Rhoswen (scent, perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11), cast Invisibility Purge. Abigail moves 30 feet, Sacha can do a double move.

If you make your roll and want to change your action, Abigail, let me know. Sorry, meant to include the spoiler in the original post.

Sorry to miss out on the action. Should be able to post now!

Kregimie believes he sees a glimpse of Lumi in the Queen's mirror. His face gets flush as he realized what may happen to her and the people of her village if the Queen has her way.

He lifts a potion to his lips and then vanishes from sight.

He drinks a potion of invisibility and then moves into the chamber, looking for the queen.
Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
No change...

The elven magus wove his way further through the columns trying to get to a position to help out Thunder.

Full move to get into flanking position against the air elemental.

As Kregimie disappears, he has no luck finding the elf queen, who does not appear with Abigail's spell. As the two enter the room, Sacha begins casting around for a scent, but seems confused at all the trails in the throne room. No luck pinpointing her location with that roll, but may have more luck with a better one.

As Koremar moves into position, Thunder swings wildly, not hitting anything at first, but catching the elemental on his backswing. A gout of smoke and a hissing noise seems to follow the axe, as the summoned creature unsuccessfully swings back at the Mwangi warrior.

You hear the queen's voice echo through the word in a strange arcane language and an overwhelming lassitude suddenly overcomes Thunder Rolling. Moments later, he falls to the ground, asleep.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Abigail and Sacha try together to pinpoint the location of the Queen, remaining silent, ready to move.

Abigail's Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Sacha's Perception (scent): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

If they hear or smell something, they'll converge on the location, trying to lock it. If nothing is detected, Abigail will move over to Thunder, drawing her mace, and give the warrior a kick to wake him up.

"zzzzz"

who's turn is it?

Waiting on Koremar and Kregimie's actions.

Waiting on Koremar and Kregimie's actions.

Koremar's heart lurched when he saw Thunder fall down and he lashed out at the elemental with his blade.

Mai'tahl: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Not wanting to blow his cover just yet, Kreg searches for the Queen once more while drinking another potion (Fly).

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

My perception of 30 the previous round did not turn up anything?

Kregimie downs another potion, though he still can't seem to see the queen, even though he could hear her cast whatever spell knocked out Thunder Rolling -- it's as if she's in the tree itself.

Abigail moves to Thunder, kicking the warrior and waking him. As Thunder gets back to his feet, Koremar slashes through the elemental, which disappears in a burst of smoke.

Again you hear the queen's voice speaking arcane words -- and suddenly Sacha disappears, replaced by a small songbird that begins flapping around the room!

"Invisible? Or just hiding in wood?" Thunder cast about for signs of the fey queen, wondering if they were grossly overmatched.

Koremar nodded at Abigail for her quick thinking in waking up Thunder and called upon his arts to let him see magical dweomers.

Cast Detect Magic and start to scan the room.

Kreg waits for the Queen to show herself. He sees Sasha turn into a small bird right in front of him and he nearly lets out a cry, giving away his location, but he is able to stop himself.

He will wait for the Queen to show herself and then charge her.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Abigail suppresses a a cry of horror as her companion is transformed and prays Erastil to protect her friend.

Cast Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

The queen seems content to remain hidden in the tree as she watches you cast about. Koremar, however, can see a magic aura glinting through a small gem-sized hole in the bole of the tree toward the northwest. Considered full cover

Abigail, I don't believe you can undo a polymorph spell with dispel magic, so I'm not going to have you cast that at the moment. You can redo this round's action or hold and try to dispel something as she catches it.

From inside the walls, you again hear Rhoswen casting a spell. Not telling you its effects yet in case Abigail wants to try to dispel. Will post once I know that.
