Ghiv recoils from the sight of the demon.
Bryn sees the monstrosity rise from the waters and can barely comprehend what he is seeing. What can this be, what foul magic was this evil cultist up to!?
Bryn attempts to smash the altar with his maul before retreating.
Vothe will help scoop up anyone who appears to be stunned and get them herded in the right direction.
|
Lenthus Success.
Ril Fail. stunned for minutes
Aten Fail. The character begins babbling and is incapable of normal speech or spellcasting for minutes
Ghiv Success...(Good thing your mad enough as is.)
Bryn Success.
Vothe Success.
Kingsley will automatically fail. The character retreats into his or her mind and becomes paralysed. The effect ends if the character takes any damage for minutes.
"Bryn, help with Ril!" Lenthus says, trying to be quite enough that the demon won't hear him.
Aten tries to speak and gibberish spills forth from his mouth. Waving his arms in frustration he turns to the others, seeing them start to retreat he finds himself perfectly happy to start running. He stops to try and help Lenthus with Ril, hoping Bryn will take the burden, knowing even the combined strength of himself and Lenthus would be slowed dragging the other man.
Ghiv helps Lenthus grab the others and scramble away from the demon.
Gaaah.
With so many grabbing Ril, Bryn instead keeps at the ready in case tehre are (manageable) pursuers, following just behind the group.
This way! We can take shelter in the city of my people. Ghiv begins leading the group towards Bligdenstone
and so the heroes valiantly fled into the wild yonder, leaving one of their own to be squished, and almost forgetting their entourage in the process.
Thank you Axthres.
Lenthus makes sure the NPC's are following.
Vothe didn't even really care where they were headed, as long as no one tried to murder them in their sleep nor sacrifice them to their gods.

With the choatic fray of what is left of Sloobludoop, and the demonic two headed babboon ripping through the underdark, you head to what could be a bastion of hope in Blingdenstone.
The rest of your companions safely with you, Shuushar stops in the middle of the path, I am afraid my people need me. I must help rebuild and aid those that would have it.
Another companion crawls from the rubble of Sloobludoop, the Duergar that was to be executed. Still in manacles he looks up to you, Mind if I tag along until you reach Gracklestagh. I know the way around the settlements of Darklake.
As I stated in the Discussion tab it will be 20 days at a normal pace. I am going to need Survival DC 10 to not get lost, only one person makes this check. Everyone may forage for food once per day, Survival DC 15 in order to gain 1d6+Wis Mod in pounds of food.
For later...
Encounter in a 5' wide tunnel with no light.
As soon as Aten regains his senses he tries to help Lenthus forage for food.
But his efforts only seem to make things more difficult. I still feel off after the run in with that creature...
I wish I had some lockpicks - too much to hope for now that we are on the run from fish people, drow and demons all.
"Well, I wish Kingsley and Shuushar were here, but they're not." Lenthus turns to the new Durgar. "What is your name, and why were you a prisoner?" in undertones he whispers, "Don't worry, I won't get all righteous on you, I just want to know that you're not going to kill us."
You have a knack for making your way in the deep places of the world. You can recall the twists and turns of passageways and tunnels such that you can always retrace your steps underground. You're also well acquainted with foraging and survival in the Underdark and can determine when sources of food and water are safe to consume. You can always find sufficient food and water for yourself and up to five other people in the Underdark as long as sustenance is available in the area
Ghiv keeps busy leading the party in the direction of his homeland. He finds many fungi and bugs that taste absolutely delicious, at least to him.
More friends makes the journey less difficult, or it makes us run out of food faster. Either way its more interesting now!
Vothe will do his part to help gather food.
Survival
It's good to have another familiar with these tunnels, Ghiv. I don't think we have to worry about food anymore with the two of us around.

Oi! Mate, the name be Hemeth. I be a simple merchant, they didn't like my prices I guess. Cheap bastards! No wonder fish stinks after a day of being around it. He looks at the manacles, Any chance you louts can get this offa me?
Alright, No need for navigation thanks to Ghiv. Ghiv, you may apply that 20 for additional food.
Ghiv, Bryn, Aten, Vothe, Lenthus, Ril,
Prince Derendril, Eldeth Feldrun, Jimjar, Ront, Sarith, Stool, Topsy, Turvy and Hemeth makes for 16
That going to require 16 pounds of food per day, minus ghiv feeding himself and five others is 10 pounds of food per day. Bryn makes for and additional 6 so that would be a need to forage for 4 pounds of food a day or someone doesn't eat.
Applying Ghiv's 20 to food for everyone being feed for a day, with no surplus.
You come to an eerie cavern littered with countless bones of various creatures. A narrow tunnel through the dark leaves but a walkway that you can walk through single filed. Whether the site is a natural graveyard for some kind of underdark species or former lair of a more fearsome predator is pure speculation.
I would like an acrobatics roll DC13 to navigate the boneyard or take 1d6 piercing damage as you lose your footing or impale yourself on a set of bones.
"Sure Hemeth." Lenthus puts his hand on the manacles "Drevab"
"Careful, this looks dangerous."
Gah, curses Ril as he impales his leg on a bone for damage
Aten attempts to make his way through the boneyard unscathed, but his luck continues to run dry, he winces as shards of bone scrap against his shins. "Does anyone else find this place a bit eerie?"
Vothe nimbly makes his way through the bone field. Vothe will then say "See, it's pretty easy, right?"
Easy for you to say, Ril grumbles.
Bryn stumbles in the bones and some catch and tear at his skin.
Ghiv says Follow me! It's just this way. and he nimbly picks his way through the boneyard.

Upon the noise created by your group of deep delvers you see 11 skeletons animate all around you, forming a corral of death.
Go ahead and roll your initiative and post actions, I will reorder them into the proper order.
Skeleton's go on ....dead last. You all are lucky to get a surprise round as well.
"Drevab! Drevab! Drevab!" Lenthus targets 3 different skeletons
Vothe will scoop up a larger, sturdier looking bone and then move to hit a skeleton with it:
And will miss horrendously.
Aten lets his magic flow through him, the arc of his staff unleashes a cold blue light as he launches an ice bolt towards a skeleton.
Ril nearly shits himself and readies his sword, realising his bow will likely be of little use.
Form a circle - don't let them come at our backs!
More friends, although...these might not be all that friendly.
Ghiv casts Shillelagh and his little club becomes a bit more fearsome.
He then readies to strike a skeleton that comes within range.
Ril nearly s&@~s himself and readies his sword, realising his bow will likely be of little use.
Form a circle - don't let them come at our backs!
Bryn stands and strike the first skeleton he can reach.
Back, you foul machinations! Your fell existence ends today!
