RD's Mists of Mwanga

Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

Thisss museum ssseemsss full of danger, Plisskin says, eying his greataxe as if looking for a hole in it. Satisfied that it is the weapon's fault, not his, the nagaji looks into the dark room. Nobody can deny that there'sss sssomething there...

He lights a torch, then moves into the room.

The other undead begin to stir.

Tanaka moves in and puts his back to the door.

Musani moves into the room. Expecting that the problems in this museum stem from the risen dead, she keeps an arrow nocked but does not draw in.

Olvertu stays right behind Tanaka

Red moves up and tries to bite Tanaka
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
DC 13 Fort or diseased
DC 13 Fort or paralyzed for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds

Blue double moves up to Musani

Orange staggers its way to Tanaka

HEROES UP

Plisskin activates Arcane Strike (swift) and charges Blue to protect the party flank.

greataxe: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
dmg: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15

I think thisss axe isss broken.

Fort 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Fort 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Reroll on FORT 2: 1d20 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 5 = 21

Tanaka gives a kiai as he lashes out with both blades:
Katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 for DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Wakazashi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

He then shuffles a bit to the side to pick off one of the undead.

Musani steps away from the undead for a bit of space and then lets fly with a ray to disrupt the undead, targeting the same undead as Tanaka:

Disrupt Undead Touch: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16 for DMG: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Musani pwns the zombie for 6.

Olvertu left.

"This is SO not my thing!"

Olvertu moves up and shoots orange with his crossbow.

crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

The bolt flies into the zombie, but flops right through its shoulder. It appears no damage has been done.

Red (ghoul) full attacks Tanaka
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Bite damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
DC13 Fort save vs disease

Orange (zombie) attacks Tanaka with a longsword.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Blue (skeleton) attacks Plisskin with an ivory greatclub
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Heroes up

Tanake grits his teeth as blood pours from both wounds
FORT: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 but his focus and resolve are stronger than the undead's macabre power.

He swings his twin blades:
Katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 MISS
Wakazashi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 for DMG: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Hit on Plisskin, cos charge.

The nagaji activates Arcane Strike and swings at Liz Taylor again.
greataxe: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
dmg: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15

Tanaka's katana misses broadly, but connects with the wakazashi. However, the ghoul is still up.

Plisskin, it double moved previous round and normal attacked this one. No charge

Pliskin greatly axes the skeleton, bones flying everywhere.

Overtu and Musani up.

"This feels rather pointless, and I don't mean that ironically"

Olvertu reloads his crossbow and shoots at Orange again.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

He then takes a 5 ft step back, just in case.

Overtu's bolt flies through the zombie, and some damage gets through it's heavy armor. It is still up.

Musani up.

Musani moves up and shoots a disrupt undead at orange
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
confirm?: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Looks like bot just anti-jeffed
2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

The last undead (ghoul) full attacks
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

I think the bite hit
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
DC13 fort vs disease

HEROES UP

Musani fires another disrupt undead, into melee
1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 16
1d6 ⇒ 6

Musani destroys the last undead. Good work MUSANI!

Interesting things found in this room include:
* mwk ivory greatclub
* mwk alchemical silver scimitar
* longsword
* bronze half-plate
* bone-handled kukri

Bardically knowledgeful: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Thisss kukri isss cool. I wonder where it came from.

"well, that wasn't fun. Is it always like this?"

He walks up to Takano. "Oh dear, you appear to be injured, but there's nothing I can do about that. Do we need to find you healing?

"Indeed, my blood flows freely. I'll need some kind of healing to be effectual."

He looks over the treasure with suspicion, and then performs chiburi on his blades before sheathing them.

Well, let's see if there are any healing potions around. It's unlikely to find them in a museum I suppose, but perhaps some staff keep them around for emergency."

Olvertu makes some arcane gestures casting Detect Magic looking to see if anything around is magical.

Nothing appears to be magical in this room

Musani steps toward Tanaka. "Let us see if Pharasma believes it to be your time." She places a hand on the samurai, then adds, "Lady of Mysteries, judge this man and, if you will it, aid him."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Tanaka stretches the healed muscles. He grunts in appreciation. There's still obviously a fair bit of wounding under the armor.

Everyone appears ready to go. Continue to the door in the room?

Plisskin moves past the displays of feminine empowerment to the far corner of the room. There isss another door over here, he says. Let usss check it out. He moves up to the door to have a listen.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Plisskin hears some whimpering inside the room. You open the door.

The door to this chamber was once a pane of expensive frosted glass, which now lies in broken shards on the floor. Within, several desks lie overturned, papers in disarray, and chairs smashed to kindling. A sturdy steel cabinet sits against the back wall, its doors much battered and dented. The mist here roils near the floor and ceiling, creating a strange patch of visibility stretching from knee-height to a few feet overhead. The smoky tendrils flow up and down the walls unnaturally and savage visages swirl to life, fanged mouths agape, before

dissolving into mist once more.

Plisskin looks back at his companions as he hears the whimpers, then opens the door and moves into the room.

Hello? Isss there anybody in there? ...Just nod if you can hear me.

Tanaka stays with Plisskin, snaking beside the nagaji, hand on the hit of his katana, wakazashi out.

(We'll just start this combat)

As the party moves in the room, they are surprised by 2 humans that look like they are on a very special drug. Their clothes are ripped and they look all animalistic.

Surprise round
Blue falls on Pliskin and attempts a slam attack
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Red falls on Tanaka
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Inits
Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Tanaka: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Pliskin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Musani: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Overtu: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 1
Musani - GO
Blue
Red
Tanaka
Pliskin
Overtu

Musani struggles to see a clear shot through the press of bodies and the movements of melee. "I need a clear shot! Give me space Overtu!"

Ready action to shoot when Musani doesn't have to deal with cover

Red attacks Overtu again
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

He howls out with raw fury, emulating an altered beast.

and Blue attacks Plisskin
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Green says nothing, embarrassed that his slam attack missed by a large margin.

Round 1
Musani - Readied action
Blue - Missed Plisskin
Red - Hits Overtu
Tanaka - GO
Pliskin - GO
Overtu - GO

Tanaka steps up to the atavistic man and draws his blade in a cutting arc:

Katana v. Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 THREAT
Confirm v. Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for DMG: 2d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 + (1) = 16

"What ARE these things?" Olvertu practically screeches as he's hit. He then looks back to Musani and says "gladly!" He takes a 5 ft step back behind Tanaka and loads his crossbow.

Plisskin is struck by Blue's surprise slam, but not by Blue's follow-up. You better run all day, and run all night!

Activate Arcane Strike and swings at Blue.
greataxe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
dmg: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16

Tanaka connects on red, but he is still frothing at the mouth.

Overtu moves backwards and loads a crossbow.

Musani misses completely.

Plisskin connects on blue, but is also still frothing at the mouth.

Round 2
Red AND Blue try to slam plisskin

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

HEROES UP

Tanaka's blades flash as the samurai slices with both.

Katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 for DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
wakazashi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 for DMG: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

His kiai rings with the force of martial harmony.

Plisskin takes another swing at Blue, after activating Arcane Strike.

greataxe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
dmg: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Olvertu delays, not having a good shot.

Seeing the many open wounds on the nagaji, Musani invokes a prayer to Pharasma. "Lady of Graves, aid this being so that he may be judged at the appointed time."
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

She then moves forward and places a hand on Plisskin, closing his wounds completely.

Tanaka slices up red pretty hard, and he goes down unconscious. As he falls, you see the intense blueness from his eyes fade down to a normal color, as if a force left his body.

Plisskin axes blue, and he also falls over with the same effect as red.

Both unconscious.

Off initiative.

You hear heavy breathing and teeny shrieking coming from within a cabinet.

Without hesitation Musani strides forward and rips open the cabinet door.

Strength check please.

You hear Go away. Leave me alone. Stop it!

Tanaka goes over and gives the door a solid yank, T10 for 13

Still shut.

No no no...go away. I'm not listening LALALALALALAAAA
