Reign of Winter with GM Deadly Secret - Table 2 - The Snows of Summer (Inactive)

Game Master Deadly secret

Up next, Garrasay. You don't see any creatures at this time.

Also, Yukiharu does not see anything. Would you like to move anywhere or take an action?

Garrasay growls in frustration as the tiny arrows pelt him "Rrawwwww! Where are they?"

He tries to peer through the falling snow where others have turned their attention.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

As he does so he draws his throwing axe.

Perception: move. Draw weapon: move.

Garrasay see's two creatures, green and purple.

Creature 1 5 ft steps back (is flying) and fires an arrow at Steinolf AC 17
Shortbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d2 ⇒ 1 x3/20 piercing damage
Missed

Creature 2 5 ft steps back (is flying) fires an arrow at Mordred AC 16

Creature 3
A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth hitting Gavinia, Garrasay & Yukiharu are in it. You look behind you and you all see creature 3.

Gavinia Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Yukiharu Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Garrasay Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Gavinia & Garrasay is not affected.

Yukiharu falls unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round.

Everyone can see creature 3, purple.

No one has the appropriate knowledge to identify these creatures.

Up next, Steinolf Stone.

Gavinia peers the little fairy, then frowns at the deep snow between them. She sighs, and lays a hand on Garrasay and casts a spell, then draws a throwing axe.

Guidance on Garrasay: +1 competence to a single save, attack or skill roll within the next minute, must choose to use it before making the roll.

Am I able to see the one in front of me? I was able to see him last round. Green?

Steinolf steps up to the one in front of him and attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Steinolf misses.

Gavinia casts guidance on Garrasay.

Up next, Mordred.

Attack/Damage: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d12 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 damn our rolls suck this round

Morde steps up in the snow trying to hit the flying creature, "Damn these little buggers" Searching in the snow Morde looks at the others however the think snow and trees block the view of his companions. "Everyone ok?, Should we retreat? " he shouts hoping that the rest are ok.

Mordred misses.

Up next, Garrasay!

The snow is falling heavily and the fey are well adapted to the conditions. It was going to be exceptionally difficult to bring these things down. He already had divine insight from Gavinia's deity, but he felt that to make his one shot with the throwing axe count, he needed all the aid he could muster.

He growled out the arcane words and let the magic heighten his instincts and reflexes, complimenting Gavinia's guidance.

Standard: Casting true strike. Is creature 3 the orange one? Move: Spend 20' of movement to get to I23

Garrasay moves up to creature 3.

Yukiharu is unconscious, blinded & stunned.

Creature 1 (Green) sends a vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth at Steinolf.
Will: 1d20 ⇒ 2 Fails, you are unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round.

Creature 2 full withdrawal flies away. You can’t see him beyond any tree branches and the snow fall and will require a perception to observe again.

Creature 3 (Orange) 5 ft steps back (is flying) and fires an arrow at Garrasay AC 16
Shortbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d2 ⇒ 2 x3/20 piercing damage
Misses

Steinolf Stone is unconscious, blinded & stunned.

Up next, Gavinia Hornsten.

Gavinia sees Steinolf fall and forces her way through the snow towards him.

Double move to I19. We can see Greeny as it just cast color spray, right?

That is correct, you can see green and orange.

Up next, Mordred!

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Looking around to try to find the fey that fled the snow covered the creatures retreat. Trying to take the lead of the party Morde shouts out advise. "spread out where they cant target more than one person with their spells. Strike when they try to cast or use thier bows!" where did that come from.... images of many battles flash through his head.

(morde moves to E19 please, he moved and used a move for perception)

I was goign to start doing this but the fey left, hold your action to attack at the same time as the creature and move with it. that way you get your regular attack and the AoO.

Mordred does not see the orange creature.

Up next, Garrasay!

With divine guidance and arcane insight, Garrasay pulls back with the throwing axe and heaves mightily. In his sight he sees the fey clearly against the background of snow. Everything seems to slow down as the axe leaves his hand and hurtles towards the fey creature.

throwing axe +guidance +true strike -snowy conditions: 1d20 + 1 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 20 - 4 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Garrasay hits and notices that most of his damage goes through but not all due to DR.

Yukiharu is unconscious, stunned and blinded.

Creature 1 (Green) fires an arrow at Gavinia AC 21
Shortbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d2 ⇒ 2 x3/20 piercing damage

Creature 3 (Orange) fires an arrow at Garrasay AC 16
Shortbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d2 ⇒ 2 x3/20 piercing damage
Miss

All the lights shift and move around to different spots.

Steinolf Stone is unconscious, stunned and blinded.

Up next, Gavinia!

The throwing axe is cold iron - was some damage still blocked?

As the tiny arrow pings off her armor, Gavinia moves up to the fairy and swings her axe at it, but her strike is too low and whistles under the tiny creature.

Melee Attack cold-iron throwing axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Move up to Green (J18), Melee Attack

If you're talking about Garrasay, in his inventory it does not state that it is cold iron.

Gavinia misses.

Up next, Mordred!

throwing axe cold iron: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

(Sorry on my phone )

Morde throws his axe knowing that with two people down their group is in trouble

I am not 100% certain who you are throwing the axe at but whomever it was you would still miss.

Mordred misses.

Up next, Garrasay!

ah sorry, confused by too many axes

Garrasay had been hoping that one solid hit would be all that was required to defeat the tiny fey. He had put everything he had into that one shot. Now that the fey had survived the attack, he was concerned.

Drawing his last axe, he tossed it at the creature as best he could.

throwing axe-snow: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (10) - 4 = 6

His throw is nowhere close to his intended target.

"Grrrrnrrrnggrrrr"

Move: draw weapon. Standard: Throw axe. Free: growl in frustration

Garrasay misses.

Yukiharu is unconscious, stunned and blinded.

Creature 1 (Green) fires an arrow at Gavinia AC 21
Shortbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d2 ⇒ 2 x3/20 piercing damage

Creature 2 (Purple) appears again as a vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth at Mordred.

Up next, Gavinia!

Did Green take a 5ft flap back? If it did, I'll move up.

Melee attack, cold iron throwing axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Gavinia presses forward with another swing of her axe, but again misses the creature.

oh yeah it would have moved.

Gavinia misses.

Up next, Mordred!

I’m his gut morde knew the creature didn’t leave , when morde shakes off the spell he gives a growl that would make his gnoll companion proud. “may you rot in the great beyond you fiend “ morde says as he moves up to the purple fey creature.

attack greataxe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d12 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 no power attack we need to hit something lol, the damage has a +2 bonus if they are evil I still don’t know,

Mordred moves up and strikes the creature with his greataxe and it falls to ground with a puff of snow as it lays flat bleeding out, wings twitching.

Up next, Garrasay!

Garrasay carefully pulls out his flail and plows through the drifts in an effort to get within reach of the wounded fey.

Move: Draw weapon (bab 0), Move: to J23

Garrasay moves.

Yukiharu is stunned and blinded.

Creature 1 (Green) 5 ft flies back and fires an arrow at Gavinia AC 21
Shortbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d2 ⇒ 1 x3/20 piercing damage

Steinolf Stone is unconscious, stunned and blinded.

Up next, Gavinia!

Sorry, that hit on Gavinia is also a crit.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 does not confirm.

Melee Attack, cold iron throwing axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Gavinia gives a slight wince as a tiny arrow sneaks through a gap in her armor, then plunges forward and slashes the little fairy with a vertical sweep of her axe.

at last! (assuming they have the same ac)

Gavinia hits the creature and all your damage goes through. It looks critically wounded.

Up next, Mordred!

Morde sees that the other two fey both look wounded. choosing to go help the Gnoll. Morde runs across the snow as fast as he can trying to keep far enough away just in case the fey creature has any more spells to use.

(double move; H25)

Mordred moves.

Up next, Garrasay!

If the orange fey is low enough for me to get to it
Weapon in hand, Garrasay forges through the snow. Gripping the weapon in both hands he swings mightily, the steel ball whirling madly at the end of the chain.

flail: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
damage(2h): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Move: K24. Standard: attack

Garrasay moves and hits the creature. Some of the damage was negated due to DR. The creature falls and hits the snow covered ground.

Yukiharu is stunned and blinded.

Creature 1 (Green) will full withdraw.

Creature 2 (Purple) is unconscious

Creature 3 (Orange) is unconscious

All the lights seem to go away.

Steinolf Stone is unconscious, stunned and blinded.

Yukiharu & Steinolf will eventually be able to get up and see.

Out of combat!

Gavinia moves slowly back, watching for any sign of the remaining fairy.

After half a minute, she says "I think the one I was fighting has fled. It was badly injured and must have seen its companions fall. Are the others still alive? We should bind them and see if we can question them. They will probably know who took the lady and where - we should also ask if they know about this weather."

She helps Steinolf up and leads him back to the others.

"We should also make camp. There is still some light, but with the snow and the cold I would rather not wait until it is dark. I am also injured and would rather not risk any more fighting today." She looks forward and back along the trail. "Should we head back a few minutes? Best not to stay here if the fairy returns with more help."

"I don't envy any wandering adventures to run into this group if we were to let them live, Gavinia. Normally I would want to ask some questions but these little buggers already shown that they can cast spells, it worries me."

Looking down and around for his Iron throwing axe, Morde says, "is there anything we can do to wake up Sleeping beauty here?" kicking Steins Boot.

after Gavinia asks about camp.
"I think we should move back to the wagons before nightfall we can use them for shelter."

Coming to Steinolf lets out a yell “Ahhhh!! Get back here!!” Looking around, Steinolf realized he is on the ground with Mordred kicking his boot. Looking up he takes Gavinia’s hand to help him up. As he stands and collects his shield and sword Steinolf tries to save face. “Those cowards use magic to hide between attacks. If they would have faced me head on this would have been a different story!”

Hearing the group talk about making camp, “I agree we should take time to find some safe shelter, but do we really want to go all the way back to the wagons? We have traveled some distance since then. Maybe lets try to take a brief look around and see if we can find some safe natural shelter out here?”

Perception to see tracks of those we are following: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Survival to find a camp sight: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Shrugging, while Steinolf tries to find shelter Morde also begins looking around for somewhere safe to sleep knowing two people looking is better than one.

Garrasay breaths heavily as the forest goes quiet, his breath making clouds of steam on the icy air. "Ghhhhr. Yes, I think camp would be important."

He surveys his companions to assess their condition "Whether or not these fey were involved on the attack on the wagon, they are a menace to the forest none the less." he gestures to the dead birds bundled up and hanging from the trees all around. "They may also be the reason for the Sentinels suddenly going missing. I am fine if we want to question one but we should be wary about letting them go. Ygerrrrrr"

Garrasay helps look for a good campsite survival assist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Garrasay is not the greatest woodsman at the best of times, but out here he is completely clueless how to deal with the snow and intense cold. In the winters he usually just finds an accommodating place to hole up and waits out the season.

Mordred was able to find a suitable location to set up a camp.

Make sure you're specific about what tents you put up, how many can stay in it. Who will be on watches. What is the watch order and for how many hours and once you get all that figured out. Go ahead and roll a nighttime Perceptions

survival make lean to: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Morde will try his best to create a lean to shelter, "I Don't have a tent, I think one on watch is fine. with Me, Stein, and Garrasay. taking watch. with Yuki and gavania just keeping company if able."

basically one of us, then a random chance of 33% for either Gavania or Yuki to just be there. lol

aside: I'm coming down with something, so I might have fewer/shorter posts for the next couple of days

Re: tents. Ha, I think we all have bedrolls, but no actual tents. We'll have to huddle around the fire.

Re: Fairies: We have some rope, are we actually able to tie them up or are they too small? Gavinia won't object if most people want to finish them off (which might be the case?) Did they have anything on them besides little shortbows and arrows?

Gavinia helps Mordred as he gathers material for a shelter, making a silent prayer as she hunts for appropriate materials.

Minor blessing of Community on me then Survival to aid Mordred: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"I can assist on the final watch, or take it on my own. I am usually awake for the break of dawn."

You find that each of the creatures carry a diminutive short sword, diminutive shortbow with several arrows and 14gp.

You could try to tie them up, but they might also be able to get out so that is up to you.

I was thinking standard rope might be too inflexible to tie up a diminutive creature, but I guess we could just tie them to a tree or something.

Steinolf, Yukiharu, do you have any opinions on questioning?

Gavinia is being convinced that it's too risky to let them free afterwards, which makes her reluctant to keep them alive for questioning. So I guess we're currently leaning towards killing them.

Gavinia proposes giving the 14gp to Steinolf in compensation for the map & cold gear.

Speaking of which, Gavinia will look over it once camp is set up and see if it's useful. Is the path we took marked on the map at all, and are there any features on it that we think are nearby?

That's 14gp x 2, each fey had same inventory.

Garrasay does not have a tent, only a bedroll. He hadn't planned on spending an evening in the middle of a wintry landscape. "Rrrr. I agree, we can compensate Steinolf for the gear he purchased for us. I can take a middle watch, the darkness does not bother me. If this evening's weather proves too difficult for us, we should take what we can and head back to town to better prepare. While time is of the essence, the Lady is no better off with us frozen in the drifts waiting for a spring thaw. Grrr"

He bundles up as best he can and hunkers down close to the fire to wait out the evening, taking the middle watch.

3 watches@ 3 hrs each is the plan?
