GM Kate's Extinction Curse [closed]

Game Master Kate Baker

Rova and Kennari agree that this strange woman is a hag, but they disagree as to type. Kennari thinks that the blue skin indicates a sea hag (immune to polymorph, weak to cold iron), while Rova thinks that the fact that she is riding a nightmare indicates a night hag (immune to sleep, resistant to mental damage, weak to cold iron).

"A hag! So you're in on it with Vandy, aren't you?! Admit it! What are you two plotting?!"

Upon hearing some commotion outside, Unset exits the lab.

"Well, well, you've found my heartstone fair and square. I would trade you the mortician's soul to get it back; I've had enough fun playing with it."

"A soul doesn't seem to be somethin' to be belongin' to ye, let alone for ye to be tradin'." Unset replies through gritted teeth.

"A hag! So you're in on it with Vandy, aren't you?! Admit it! What are you two plotting?!"

"A hag!?" Unset repeats. His appendages beginning to writhe in agitation. "Answer Rova, then! What be ye up to?"

She sighs heavily. "I was just having fun tormenting him...sending him nightmares before murdering people! It's gotten a little dull by now. But I certainly can't have you messing with my heartstone. Give it to me, or I will take it from your dead body."

Initiative!

The nightmare delays until the hag's turn.

Not having tussled with hag before, Unset is unsure what to do and waits to follow Rova's lead.

"Keepin' the stone, are ye?" Unset whispers to Rova.

Delay until after Rova's turn.

"To Groetus with you, then!" Rova curses, firing an arrow toward the awful hag.

"To Groetus with you, then!" Rova curses, firing an arrow toward the awful hag.

"Ye heard Rova, ye 'ave!" Unset cries as he rushes forward and attempts to wrap his appendages around the hag.

Rova's shot goes just over the hag's shoulder, but Unset successfully grapples her!

Hero point for boldness to grapple a hag!

With flailing appendages, Unset attempts to batter the hag.

Shortbow (iterative): 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 20 - 5 = 23

Thkrull charges in and nearly misses because he's too focused on showing the stupid skinny, flaming wannebe elephant what a real companion looks like. He catches himself at the last minute and stomps on the hag!

"Hm, maybe you need a time out" Kennari muses as he moves up behind Prism and weaves a spell, hoping to contain the hag to give his allies time to deal with her mount.
