5E Adventure's in Midgard – North (Reaver's Spring)

Game Master Tareth

Happy holidays all! (ate too much as usual)

I like how we're all wearing vegetables on our faces for this battle. :)

*Sniff*

You mean Arianna's not part of the crew?

Oh yeah, she was invis when they were passed out. :/

Don't worry, I got some bok choy with your name on it.

Works for me! :)

Hi Tareth

No worries. At 6th level Luthael can use the Warding Flare on others at 30 ft range. So for Ingryd. It’s cheaper than healing.

Cheers

Ah, well there you go then. Guess, I need to read further down the cleric description. :) Thanks for clarifying.

In that case, let me roll the disadvantage...

Disadvantage Attack vs Ingryd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

I believe that just misses, so Ingryd does not take the sword hit from last round.

I wasnt too worried the last heal let me add 2 to my total and that was after all the damage was dealt. Thank go for Rage and Cold Resistance

Is Ingryd gonna have to carry a drunken holy man and child equivalent all momma bear style. Cause you cant out deink the momma bear

Heh, I'm just happy Arianna isn't drunk. Then we'd have no rogue types to check the door. :P

Ingryd will just smash through doors

The holy man can still stagger in the right direction.

I just have that Talking Heads song in my head.

Hehe, yeah I was thinking the same...regretting not just bonfiring the entire thing right off the bat.

Then we'd have burning void-squid and nothing between us and flaming tentacles. Sure, we wouldn't have to worry about the stuff inside, but I'd rather not have to worry about cthulu trying to hug us to death while it's on fire.

Besides, we wouldn't have the ale geyser either. That's much more memorable than just committing arson. :P

So the tentacle-face creature will be the one who drinks all the beer in the end, throwing Ingryd into a nuclear berserk fury.

It is possible the artifact could have been powerful enough to protect us all if we stayed within its bubble in the conservatory, but Gunnar made the snap decision that the house falling down around it would probably have overwhelmed the protection.

He is hoping that good Dwarven stonework and the artifact together can withstand the onslaught…I apologize if he calculated…poorly.

Wouldn't be the first TPK I've been party to. :P

To be honest, I think Arianna's right there in the "this might be a bad decision" department, so it's not like Gunnar's the only one that's playing with fire here. ;)

No worries at all, there was no way to know or predict what would happen. :) Had Scram stumbled in there she would've grabbed it for sure.

Don't forget, Luthael is still carrying an evil artifact sword in a magic null box, like an unlicensed nuclear accelerator, on his back. We've enough risk to go around.

Hey all, just a quick note to let you know that work has blown up on me a bit today and I'm still a bit off center after having a friend and gaming buddy of 40-years pass away from brain cancer over the weekend. Just finding it temporarily hard to maintain the creative thread. Should be able to get something posted tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

Sorry to hear about your friend. :( Take all the time needed.

Tareth, I think I speak for everyone when I say that if you need a break, please take one. We'll be here when you get back. Speaking from experience, grief can be a hard thing to work through.

I echo the team here. Tareth, please take care of yourself.

I’ve suddenly lost several close friends to crazy accidents, and can tell you that it is emotionally and mentally destabilizing.

And this goes to anyone here. If you need to talk, I'm always willing to listen. Email and Discord user are in my profile here.

Oof that sucks. Take the time you need. I have been there.

Thanks for all the kind words all. It has been a rough few weeks and the thoughts are all much appreciated.

Welp that was a lottle more deep then I wanted based on the circumstances but felt right

Hey, mood whiplash is just par for the course, ain't it? :P

That said, I like it and I think it fits her.

WHAT CHILDREN DID YOU BEAR INSIDE

Intentional or not, I squirted diet Dr. Pepper out of my nostrils while my students were taking a test because of this. Thanks. ;)

I have a commute home before I'll be able to gameplay post.

I keep forgetting to write the Warding Flare in case Luthael is attacked in melee. Should I roll that tentacle at disadvantage? Or eat the damage, and write it for next turn's potential attach?

cheers

Luthael: No worries. Go ahead and roll the disadvantage. I'll also try to keep it in mind going forward.

Ingryd: Go ahead and gain Inspiration if you don't have it already.

Cool will do

Hey all. I'm still here. Just had my boss announcer her resignation late last week, which essentially leaves me in charge of the organization (how the heck did that happen?!) while we figure out what to do next. I will do my best to keep things moving, but between all the stuff, time is feeling pretty crunched. I'll do my best, but posting rate may be closer to every other day or every couple of days until after the first of the year. Sorry for the delays.

It's alright. I know we're in the middle of a fight, but do we need to go on a hiatus until things calm down for you?

Take care of yourself. Get to us when you can.

cheers

Yes no worries. Hopefully more pay with more responsibilities. :)

Happy Winter Solstice all. Hope you all have a great night and holiday season.

Picking up Wall of Stone and Fire Shield, spell DC’s go up because of his proficiency bonus bump to +4.

"Compelled I am to share this truth...

Forged upon Aurgelmir's bones,
To rip the gods from their thrones.
A blade of revenge, death and doom,
dedicated to unliving gloom.
To end its presence upon the land,
bath it seven days in blood soaked sand.
Blood of Aurgelmir's fiery kin it must be,
Black sand of dragon bone long buried neath the Ruby Sea.
Upon an altar dedicated to Light,
During the years shortest Night."

So, let's see...did we already get the Fire Giant blood? Now that we have the sands I suppose going further south isn't really in the cards. Are we maybe headed north to Jotunheim next? Spending more time fighting the armies of darkness around here? Or back to Narg? I'm probably forgetting something.

Here's what I think.

1. Deworm the people we rescued.
2. See if the operations going on around here have stopped.
--- a. If they haven't, mop them up.
--- b. See where the villagers want to go.
3. Get some fire giant blood.
4. Back to Narg

Well, after we cure the villagers and go make sure the village is purged of evil critters and such, I think the altar where we found the prophet would count for “an altar dedicated to light”, but I am not so sure how far we are away from midsummer.
