Burning Wrath (Wrath of the Righteous, table 2)

Game Master The Roxtar

Loot!

Each of the mongrelmen have mundane clubs and no other equipment. (x5)

The scythe wielder has the following:

potion of red liquid

Glaive wielder has these items:
scroll

Spellcraft to ID Red Liquid: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

"If we leave, when we come back we had better come back with a way to batter down these doors. If I was them, I would barricade these doors to keep us from coming back again."

Yeah I hate the idea of us leaving too but with how hurt we are and how I don't have much of my repertoire left, I don't think we have much of a choice

da only downside to leavin is what if they get to healin these tougher fellas here. Puts us a quite a risk ya know. But yeah i took a mighty fine whoppin there so I be good either way. Also any chance I can get dat fancy scythe der.

An easy way to solve that is making sure that there is nothing left to heal before we leave.

well dat I can't be a part of so if thats what yall goin to do then I'll have to walk away for a bit. I cant support it but i can't stop ya so ill be out here prayin and preparin for our next move.

Sure, take the scythe. I prefer a club I can enchant anyways

"Those of you ain't got the stomach for it, nows a good time to make like a baby and head out." Tak says, giving his compatriots a chance to walk out. Then he takes out his glaive and makes sure all the enemies are dead.

After the gruesome task is done, he rejoins the rest and says, "Welp thats done."

Salvatore will help Tak in the act. So I think we should head back soon before other people come.

do you think we could barricade ourselves close or do you think we will have to fall back completely

Might be easier for a full fallback then attack first thing, but I am open to suggestions.

Stepping outside while the others do the dirty work, WalMir ponders the path that has brought them all together.

maybe heading back to the village is a good idea at this point

rolls for spellcraft
spellcraft to ID: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
spellcraft to ID: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
spellcraft to ID: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

I would like to hold onto the scrolls if you guys don't mind. Might make me a bit more useful in combat.

yea, I don't see any issue there. Does anyone need healing before we head back? Gather around

channel to heal: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (6) = 12

if necessary

Making the trek back to Neathholm, the group is mostly quiet. Upon arrival, the group is brought to the chief's home.

"I see everyone has returned. Is it finished? Were you victorious?"

no we got a little roughed up. Who knew dey would have some human helpers. We beat dem down but now we got to regroup, heal up, and back at it again!

Any chance I can get a good bath again darius asks with a wink

Salvatore will give a description of the glaive wielder and the scythe wielder, Have you heard of those people?

The chief nods to Darius, "Aye, everyone, feel free to rest and recover as long as you need. As for the warriors, seems like some of the cultists. They have been coming down here for a while not. A lot more frequently these past couple months. Followers of Baphomet I believe."

if anyone wants to do some healing, this would be a good time for it. there are spellcasting services in town as well, up to 2nd lvl. if not, you can get a full nights rest and head back out in the morning.

After that last channel Salvatore is all good. Salvatore wants to look at the unholy symbols to verify the chiefs comments about the cultists.
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Darius will use the rest of his lay on hands to heal whoever needs it and then make his way to the bathhouse to "rest up"

Darius is able to return to the healers hut and get a bath. The scrubbing is once again clinical in nature.

unless anyone had anything else they wanted to do, you can rest and set back out the next "morning"

As the group approaches the gates, the chief once again meets everyone.

"I had meant to give you these last time you were leaving, but the sight of the brooch overwhelmed my thoughts. Please, take these healing items to help along the way."

Loot!
CLW potions x6
Lesser Restoration potion x3

Was it possible for Tak to craft anymore Alchemical paper cartridges?

If you have at least 1 rank in Craft (alchemy), you can craft alchemical cartridges for a cost in raw materials equal to half the price of the cartridge. At your GM’s discretion, you can craft metal cartridges for a cost in raw materials equal to half the cost of the cartridge. Crafting bullets, black powder, or cartridges takes 1 day of work for every 1,000 gp of ammunition (minimum 1 day).

as long as you want to spend the time, you can make them.

thanks der chief! I'm sure we will be puttin dem to good use real soon. Well let's give dis a nudder go eh?

Tak spends 96gp and makes 16 Alchemical paper cartridges.

Thanks Chief, I hope next time you hear from us we will be telling you about our victory.

"Always a pleasure." Tak tips his hat as he leaves.

Thanking them for their hospitality WalMir nods in response to Salvatore's words

swapped out some spells

Heading back to the mongrelmen lair, you arrive and find that the front door is closed currently.

are we ready? calling down the blessings of his God, WalMir casts some spells to boost his companions

cast bless on the party and Protection from Evil on Darius

Grizst nods in affirmation

Approaching the closed door, it appears to be barricaded currently.

need a str check to break through

Darius will step up give it a push and attempt to break it down

STR check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

little help eh? Kinda heavy!

Grizst leans against the door and plants his feet.

STRENGTH check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Seeing his companions struggling with the door, WalMir will give it a push with them

str: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Pushing on the door, the group seems to struggle to make an headway.

you are free to try as often as you want, it only takes up time and makes noise.

all together now! Heave ho!

strength check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Should have taken the door off the hinges and burned it before we left."
STR check: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Timing their approach, Tak and Darius charge the door and shoulder check it as hard as possible. The sudden impact blasting the barricade out from behind and even knocking the door off it’s hinges.

slide has been updated

Let's get in there pretty quick that made a lot of noise so they know we are coming.

let's go see what we can find now eh? Dey probably waiting for us so let's be careful.

Darius will double move in

Tak moves in, pistol drawn and readies to fire at any enemy he can see.

Salvatore will move up to the doorway as he draws and loads his crossbow.

Following the others inside Grizst takes up position to the side of the northern door, club ready.

Moving in through the door, WalMir prepares for the coming conflict and looks around the room

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

The room seems clear of anyone actively aggressive, though the bodies of the previously slain still lie on the floor. Getting a chance to look around, there was a table that had been wedged in behind the door to secure it.

Ok guys let's pick a direction and go the more time we waste the more time they are preparing

we ain't gonna be caught off guard this time eh sarathiel! I'll let you take over for this part, I'm more of the lover type ha ha Darius eyes will shift to a grey color and his posture will change from relaxed to proper
