Aye... besides I want to blood this weapon, he said, stepping on the blade.
Those scimitars need a new owner too, he says taking up his spear and shield again.
"Let's get moving. Try not to hurt yourselves. I've not a lot of juice left in the bag."
OOC: Will this be one of your two magic items?
OOC: Will this be one of your two magic items?
OOC: Will this be one of your two magic items?
OOC: Well, start thinking about it because two items were already allocated and the next part of the adventure is ripe for giving out more items. I got something for Stella...
I just kept the masterwork item description from PF but it doesn't do anything with regards to mechanics in 5e.
If the sword was going to be one of your magic items then we would make it magical (+1) and I would ask you for a description/history commensurate with the item.
Recapping now.
Questions?
Game on!
EDIT: I changed my mind after you and Kokam's RP. +1 on damage is not too unbalancing in 5e so yes, MW weapons (like the sword) do +1 on damage.
"Agreed... and maybe we should move quickly as well. I did not like the sound of that screech... replied Stella.
Good! Demons to slay!, he says, eager to fight.
Kokam looked over the ruin of the estate, musing "At least we can be certain note of the cultist can use this safe house any more...."
She sunk in to a defensive stance as the strange sound reverberated through the ruined street, frowning at Hallvardr, "Though I too would love to kill more Demons...it has been a long day, I would rather be at my best..."
"That is definitely not what I was expecting!" Stella exclaimed as she saw the monstrosity land in front of them. Raising her head similarly to the moon, she closed her eyes as she channeled the natural energy it released to activate her Starry Form. Moving forward, she summoned a ball of flame and launched it at the creature though her attack landed just short.

Stepping to forward (east) a few feet so that the wagon shielded him on his right, Damon turned to Hallvardr and Kokam and indicated the spaces to his left (north), saying, "Let's form a wall for the others and prepare to receive this demon's wrath."
The Paladin spoke a soft prayer to Iomedae and Radiance's glow brightened as it was infused by the Inheritor's power (Sacred Weapon).
OOC: It depends on what sort of skill check. A physical check would be an action while a 'mental' check would probably not count as an action.
I'll fix your remaining spells (and Halvardr's) in the next turn recap. Thanks for letting me know.

Hallvardr prays fervently.
O lord in Iron, let us show thee that we are worthy into entry to thine hallowed halls! Strengthen our hearts that we do not shame ourselves or our ancestors!
He draws his new sword and raises his shield.
LEVEL 1st CASTING TIME 1Action RANGE/AREA Touch COMPONENTS V, S DURATION Concentration 1 Minute SCHOOL Enchantment ATTACK/SAVE None
A willing creature you touch is imbued with bravery. Until the spell ends, the creature is immune to being frightened and gains temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of its turns. When the spell ends, the target loses any remaining temporary hit points from this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st.
He prepares to dig deeply for additional blessings from Gorum and his sword begins to glow.
Kokam nodded at Damon's suggetion, and inserts herself in between Damon and Hallvardr, so that she might use her heightened reflexes to greater effect.
She felt the warmth of Hallvardr's prayer was over her, feeling her concern over the creature side and ferocity fade away....
"Can we send its wrath back . . . you know like bad soup. No?" He calls out and drops his fingers prayerfully calling on sacred fire.

Reeling from the powerful attack that bypassed his armor and shield, Damon dug deep within himself to channel the holy power of Iomedae, stepping to the north of the creature and calling, "Hallvardr, come flank it with me!"
"No time for healing--I must smite it with holy power!" thought Damon, lining up an attack and thrusting deep into the demon as an opening in its defenses allowed the opportunity. He released the rest of his divine power into its foul body as Radiance sank deep into its flesh!

Roscoe moved closer sending a sling stone at the creature.
Roscoe quipped when the stone hit the creature, "Family name is Tosscobble not an un-earned moniker."
Stella leapt back as the creature waded forwarded and reached out in her general direction. Seeing that it managed to get a serious attack to land against Damon, she launched a barrage of radiant energy at the creature hoping to rebuff it back.
Perhaps it was the result of a long day, getting knocked out earlier or just the sheer size of the demon they faced but Stella and Damon's move forward caught Kokam unprepared.
Cursing, she hurried to catch up , inserting herself between Damon and Hallvardr, striking out at the hideous monster...
The point of her spear got snared in the creature's stinking feathers, blunting her blow, but the powerful kick she delivered next caught it solidly!

Kokam winced as the demonic beast once again lashed out at Damon, but luckily it didn't seem to do too much damage.
With a silent prayer to Iomedae, Kokam somehow found the energy deep within to strike out at the demon once....twice...three times!
First, a powerful thrust of her spear caught the bird-demon in the throat, as gush of black ichor spraying from the wound. Using it's lurch of pain, Kokam then spun about, striking out with her foot against the demon's side, then landing a painful punch to the creature's side; both blows resulting in a satisfying sound of breaking bones and cartilage.
OOC: No, that was due to Stella's guiding bolt. You may roll your sentinel feat attack.
However, be aware that this demon has resistance to non-magical attacks.

When the bird-beast lashed out at Damon, it left itself exposed to Kokam's spear, which snapped out...
...but once again, it's foul feathers foiled the attack!

Still the target of the demon's attack, Damon blocked its beak this time, though a claw scored a crease on his new splint mail, which held up admirably. Gripping his glowing sword, Damon reverses his swing and slashes mightily at the vulture demon right at the moment Hallvardr swung from the other side!
Hoping to keep up the pressure, Stella launched another blast of radiant energy at the creature. Though at first it looked like the blast was going to miss, luckily for Stella, the Mistress of Luck was on her side and the creature seemed to stumble directly into it, screeching madly as it did so! Unfortunately, she wasn't able to keep the momentum going as he blast of starfire shot immediately after ended up just wide of the target.

Flanking with Paladin!
or
Crit! Praise Gorum!
For
Hallvardr felt the blessings of the God of war upon him! HERE, before him, was truly a foe of mettle that would honour him and his God! THIS is why he had crossed the Roof of the World!
To the pit with you! Gorum declares it!, he yelled as glowing blade sizzled through demonic flesh! Screaming and screeching in something akin to the register and tone of a tortured vulture, the evil creature recoiled into Damon's own mighty blow!
Roscoe sends another stone toward the demon. The stone whistles in and hits with a wet 'think' as it drives into the creatures flesh.

Actions 1:
As the foul demon breathed its last from Hallvardr's mighty thrust, Damon swung a powerful arc with his own holy blade and severed the vulture demon's head the rest of the way from its body. Looking at the bloody remains, Damon gestured to the severed head and said, "Well-done, favored of Gorum. The honors belong to you this battle."
Recovering a bit from the massive wound he took as the Ulfen's healing magic takes effect, Damon looked around for more threats. Seeing none, he said, "Let us move on soon and try to reach the 'Heart with a minimum of additional fuss."
Actions 2:
"I fear that my armor may give away our position if we are relying on stealth to avoid detection," said Damon. Trying to wrap his cloak around the shinier and noisier bits of his armor, he suggested, "perhaps if someone...quieter...would take the lead and scout ahead?"
"I can move quieter than you but that's not saying much. My own armor has some squeak to it." He looks at the others.
"Well lets get moving."
Kokam slapped Hallvadr on the shoulder, "That's a trophy to tell a tale about! " she exclaimed, glad to have had the others along, realizing that her blows, while powerful , did not damage the thing as much as she initially thought.
"I will go first and scout our route to the 'Heart..." she confidently offered.
Moving ahead of the team, she stopped at every corner and surveyed the approaching streets, sometimes signaling the other to stop as she saw or heard something demonic....or even mundane. She had no desire to fight anything else this day...
"Yes let's head back. It's been a rather long day. Stella added a bit exhaustedly as she deactivated her Starry Form, her clothing and appearance losing their sparkle.
On their trip back, she did her best to not lag behind the others. Occasionally, she'd receive a bit of Guidance from Desna as they moved through the city and would relay to the others what she believed would their best path back to Defender's Heart.
The Viking inclines his head gratefully to his companions, awarding him credit for the joint kill.
While his sword still glows with Divine power Hallvardr takes the time to hack off its head. Hoping that the divine light will cauterise some of the gore spurting blood vessels. He fashions a sling using rope and drags the hideous trophy behind him. It's heavy but he grunts in pride with each step.
It will give Lief pleasure to see this trophy... another kill for one of our band that left our villages by the fjords months ago. Then we will pitch it outside the Heart... so that our allies will know the foe can be beaten, and our enemies to know we fear them not. Let Gorum smile and bear witness!

Actions 1:
Damon was happy to let Hallvardr have the spotlight, especially since it gave him a chance to encourage his brother in arms, Lief. The young paladin listened as the valorous Ulfen bard spun the tale of the conquest of the safe houses, interjecting where he felt necessary (using help action to give Hallvardr advantage on his storytelling).
He also encouraged Kokam to speak in detail with Irabeth about the note and detailed documents found in Faxon's chest, as it seemed she best understood its implications. Listening carefully, he tried to gain an understanding of the strategic situation as well.
After storytime was over, Damon sought healing, food, and drink, sitting where there was room and taking care of his weapons and armor after finishing his meal. Before bed, the young paladin moved through the inn, encouraging those he could and comforting those he could not.

Actions 2:
On the cusp of volunteering for the dangerous mission himself, it not for his companions, Damon was taken aback by Quednys' last statement, "Destroy it? The Wardstone? Can we not restore it somehow, so it is returned to its original purpose instead? Wouldn't destroying it eliminate what is left of our border protection against the Worldwound?" he asked incredulously.
