Everyone except Soddy hears some soft noises on the other side of the door but the door does not open.

Upon hearing the name, Bun can barely believe his ears. Spluttering furiously, he hops back to join Eddie behind a table and prepares to shoot the first thing that comes through the door.

"BUN THE BLACK?! I can't believe that there ith thomeone or thomeTHING with that name! I'm thould be the only BUN around here!!" he says indignantly.

◈ Stride
◈◈ Readied Attack

Shouts through the door, you hear the serpent say “What?!?”

“Pretender!”

“Only I am the true Bun the Black, spirit of the great Bunkatsu river!”

In a much quieter voice, you hear the same creature ask “How would you like a contract on that pretender? Bring back the ears as proof, you will get your raise!”

It does not seem any of them are coming through the door immediately.

I now have notes on three out of three villains. Might want to stall once one of you opens the door.

Round 2:

Eddie

"You give all bunth a bad name! Come out and fathe me!" Bun yells back. "You are lucky Profethor Bun Bun ithn't here! We'll teach you a lethon you won't thoon forget!"

Professor Bun Bun QTE is the inspiration for this character.

Eddie looks back and forth between the door and Bun, wondering what to do, and what exactly made Bun so mad! "So.. now what?"

[ooc]I didn't mean to throw things off the rails, and Eddie totally is not the one to take the lead on any combat decisions! Best they can do is summon something to explode in a ball of fire..

Sal'era, get ready. Hopefully they bunched up near the door. Jiggo thinks, knowing Sal'era will get the gist.

Sure, I'll take the brunt. Veiled Lady seems to be able to protect others. Sal'era shrugs. And Jiggs, we're linked telepathically. I "get the gist."

Tactical doors!

Does the Veiled Lady and Eddie delay for Jiggo? I am willing to have Soddy delay or ready a bomb.

Veiled Lady waits for others to kick the door, but she raises her shield and readies to poke the enemy that gets melee to her.

◆ Raise a Shield
◆◆ Ready

Soddy realizes he's right in front of the door. "Oh! Fire in the hole!"

Soddy will open the door and will try to throw an >Alchemist's Fire< at the nearest foe (where the splash won't hurt one of his teammates.)

But hey, maybe they readied an action.

Eddie waits to see what happens when the door gets opened.
Delay

The Veiled Lady raises her shield and gets ready to attack if someone comes for her.

Soddy opens the door to see that the halfling and the naginata are both doing a horrible job of hiding. She can’t see the dragon from her position.
Two stealth checks, the highest was a 10.

She lobs an alchemical fire at the halfling, but it hits the wall and only splashes them.

Nothing is in reach of Sal’era.

Bun Helsing waits for something to come through the door.

Bun the Black says “Bah! Hiding like that will not save you.”

He swims over between the docked boats and then spits a god of viscous acid through the door all the way to the other side of the room where Bun Helsing and Eddie are hiding behind a table.
Neither of you took cover, so only get the +2 circumstance from Standard cover.

Round 2:

Eddie DC 21 basic Reflex vs 11 Acid damage

Reflex vs DC21: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Eddie ducks behind a few stray mugs to avoid some of the acid splatter. "Hey!" Eddie hollers and shakes their fist in retaliation, sending their own spell back in-kind to Bun the Black before ducking for some ◆ cover behind the table.

◆◆ Frostbite, 60' Range, Cold, Basic Fort Save DC20: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) = 7

Some ice forms on Bun the Black’s scales from Eddie’s spell. With a wicked smile, the serpent says “Trying to give me a cold shoulder?”
Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

The sword flies up to attack the people at the door. As soon as it gets up there, Sal’era attacks it. She hits it, but the strike does no damage!

“Here, let me show you how it is done!”

It hits Sal’era but misses Soddy on the backswing.

naginata vs Sal’era: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Slashing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

naginata vs Soddy, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 5 = 12
Slashing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Having interacted with it, you now realize that there is a haunt animating the sword.
Religion or Occultism to disable, requires two actions and more than one success. Can also use Dispel Magic vs 2nd rank effect.

Ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"Yeowch! That thtingths! Why don't you come out! Thtand and fight for a change!" Bun yelps as the acid burns through some of his stuffing.

Is the door open? Can we see through it?

"What-" Sal'era grumbles as her claw reaches through the naginata. "Oh, it's haunted. Go away."

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Sal'era focuses on disabling it, as she's so close. I assume it has to be disabled in melee? If not Jiggo would try, his Religion is +10.

Then she glares at Bun. Uh, Bun the Black.
"Stupid snake's ignoring me."
Intimidation: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Jiggo takes a moment to Recall Knowledge on the naginata.
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

◆◆ Disable the Haunt using Religion (Sal'era if it must be done in melee, otherwise Jiggo)
◆ Act Together: Sal'era takes an action, Jiggo takes a bonus action
- Sal'era uses >Intimidating Glare< on Bun the Black
- Jiggo Recalls Knowledge on the Naginata

Both doors are open.
Bun Helsing makes the save because of cover from the table.

Bun Helsing avoids the worst of the acid.

Sal’era recalls a few religious phrases that seem to have effect on the haunt.

Her attempt to intimidate Bun the Black is completely ignored by the creature. The sword says to her “Are you pouting? I hope that wasn’t mean to be scary!”

Jiggo figures out that although the sword is an object, since there is a spirit animating it Spirit damage should be effective against it. It would still have the other immunities common to objects. He also realizes this is probably the thing that has Sakura so enraged.
Unique Complex Haunt Magical Unholy

It has such a big ego, Jiggo things that people could get it wasting time talking if only taunted.
Single action Deception, Diplomacy or Intimidate to get it to spend one of it’s actions monologuing. It will only monologue once per round.

The halfling comes out from around the corner and tries to scoot past Sal’era. It doesn’t find an opening.
Acrobatics to Tumble Through: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Bun Helsing is disappointed as he never got his shot off.

It then tells Sal’era her shoes are untied. That bit of misdirection doesn’t work any better.
Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Finally he just tries to stab her. Evidently he should just give up on that raise if this is the quality of his work.
filcher's fork: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Round 3:

Eddie 5 damage

Veiled Lady mutters prayers to her deity, to disable the haunt that is controlling the weapon.
Religion to Disable Haunt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

She then raises her shield just in case it goes after her.

◆◆ Disable Haunt
◆ Raise a Shield

With the door open and Bun being able to see his rival, he levels his weapon at it and shoots, his ears flapping down onto the side of his head.

+1 Arquebus, 150' range, Concussive, Fatal d12: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 for Concussive: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

He ducks down behind the table to reload his last Cold Round. He pops back up and uses his arquebus to cover as much of his body as he can.

◈ BOOM!
◈ Covered Reload
◈ Parry (Defensive Armaments; +1 AC)

The Veiled Lady’s prayers are not yet enough to suspend this spirit. At least her shield will protect her from physical attacks.
Failure

Bun shoots Bun and then reloads.
Parry does not stack with the circumstance bonus from cover that the table gives you. On the other hand, cover is directional so the Parry would work even if the dragon came right up to you.

Round 3:

Eddie 5 damage

Taking cover was just for reloading purposes. I'd assume cover no longer applies when Bun pops back up and parries.

Seeing his round hit the serpent, Bun shouts "Aha! Take that you thilly therpent!"

Soddy hears the information and Quickly Mixes a >Ghost Charge< before smashing it in the naginata's face... or pommel?

Bomb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Vitality Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7 +1 Vitality Splash damage and Enfeebled 1 until the start of Soddy's next turn.

Then Soddy Strides back.

Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
"Wow, what an impressive Naginata! I bet it has plenty of tales of strength to tell us!"

Bun Helsing taunts Bun the Black.

Soddy throws a tanglefoot bag and manages to entangle the weapon. It doesn’t take the bait when Soddy tries to get it to expound at length about itself.

It does say “How disrespectful! I am the weapon of a god and you throw random sticky threads at me? Don’t you realize who I am?!?”

Yeah, this sword definitely has an ego.

The tanglefoot bag is effective as it greatly slows the blade as it flies through the air. It goes into a flanking position on Sal’era with the halfing.

“It’s slicing time!” Despite the use of a battle cry, both strikes miss.

naginata: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Slashing damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

naginata, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 5 = 10

Round 4:

Eddie 5 damage

Sal'era puts her face to Shorty's face to stop him from reaching her, and then wrestles with the naginata's handle to throw off its aim. "This is getting boring... Jiggs, any ideas?"

"Hmm, well... May the tortured soul trapped inside the blade find rest." Jiggo muses.

Jiggo's Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Jiggo's words falter as Sal'era slashes the Halfling.

Claw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 1 = 9
+1 extra spirit damage to unholy creatures and creatures with weakness to holy.
She then takes a practiced Step back to break the flank.

◆◆ Act Together: Jiggo takes 2 actions, Sal'era takes a bonus action
- Jiggo tries to Disable the Haunt, fails
- Sal'era Strikes the halfling
◆ Sal'era Steps

In response to Jiggo’s attempt Bloodmoon says “Tortured soul? That would require me to have regrets.”

His attempt fails.

Sal’era just barely manages to claw the halfling before stepping back from them.

The halfling scampers over to get back into flanking position on Sal’era and attacks twice, missing both times.
filcher's fork: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Piercing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Seeing Salera flanked, Bun turns and shoots the halfling.

+1 Arquebus, 150' range, Concussive, Fatal d12: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 for Concussive: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Concussive, Crit: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 THERIOUTHLY?!
Fatal: 1d12 ⇒ 4
+1 persistent cold, +1 cold splash due to elemental ammo

"Thtay away from my friendth!" he yells. He reloads and chances a shot against the other Bun.

+1 Arquebus, 150' range, Concussive, Fatal d12, MAP: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 for Concussive: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Concussive, Crit: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 THERIOUTHLY?!
Fatal: 1d12 ⇒ 12

◈ BOOM!
◈ Reload
◈ BOOM!

Elemental Ammunition requires an action to activate. I contacted the player and he said skip the activation.

Bun’s first shot hits the halfing and takes them out.

Bun the Black says to the downed halfling “No bonus for you! Need to be able to stay in the fight!”

Then Bun the Black gets hit and growls at Bun. “That is quite enough of that, rabbit!”

"And what are you gonna do about it, therpent?!" Bun yells back.

Veiled Lady continues muttering prayers to her deity, a bit louder this time, as if it will be more effective. Or to startle enemies.
Religion to Disable Haunt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Perhaps she needs to go outside to be heard, she thinks. "I am trying my best," she admits with slight embarrassment to allies.

She keeps raising her shield just in case it goes after her.

◆◆ Disable Haunt
◆ Raise a Shield

Perhaps she needs to go outside to be heard, she thinks. "I am trying my best," she admits with slight embarrassment to allies.

She keeps raising her shield just in case it goes after her.

"It's not easy!" Jiggo nods.

Sal'era stiff arms the halfling again before Bun the Bunny downs them and then shoots Bun the Black. "Alright, I'll try to slow this thing down some more. Then we can focus on Sir Black over there."

Botting Soddy

Soddy focuses on confusing and maybe even dispersing the angry animated blade.

"Tell us again who you are naginata guy? I don't believe we've met... I'm Soddy Daisy, or at least that's who I am today..."
Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Then she gets to work trying to unravel the haunt's magic.
Occultism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The Veiled Lady tries to disrupt the spirit but it doesn’t work. She then raises her shield.

Soddy finds that taunting is a little more difficult that others have made it seem.

She feels like she was very close to unraveling the connection the spirit is using to animate the blade, but not this time.

Bun the Black shouts at Bun from in the boat launch “I’m feeling lucky! Time to take off your ears!”

He flies out of the water and across the room to land on the table Bun was hiding behind. Then he goes into a frenzy of attacks with tooth and tail. He takes a large bite of stuffing out of Bun, downing the rabbit.
fangs vs Bun: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 Ouch!
Piercing damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 6) + 5 = 19

The tail then lashes out at Eddie twice with the tail. Neither strike hits.
tail, MAP: 1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 5 = 14
Bludgeoning damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 = 10
tail, MAP: 1d20 + 14 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 10 = 16
Bludgeoning damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 6) + 5 = 16

Spitting out stuffing, Bun then says “Ha! That will teach you to taunt the spirit of the Bunkatsu river!”

"EEK!" Eddie cowers behind the table as the tail smashes all around. They reach out with fungal spirits to offer guidance to Sal'era before nervously vomiting fungal spores all over Bun the Black.

Guidance spell on Sal'era.

Fungal Infestation pours all over Bun the Black. Should be able to avoid everyone else with the small cone.

◆◆ Fungal Infestation, Touch, 15' Cone, Fort Save vs Persistent Poison: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

"A bit of help with this angry water spirit!"

Eddie happens to catch Bun the Black just as they are breathing in, getting the serpent a lung full of spores.
Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

“Yuck!”

Bloodmoon moves to where it can attack either Jiggo or Sal’era and then strikes at Sal’era and then Jiggo. Neither hits although the slash at Jiggo came very close.

Bun the Black is de-buffed if that helps anyone out: Critical Failure As failure, but double the persistent poison damage. While it's taking this persistent poison damage, it has weakness 2 to fire and weakness 2 to slashing.

"Don't forget to chew!" Eddie half snickers before catching themself.

I had missed it was persistent poison damage. Updating since it would not have taken the damage yet.

To help me avoid these sort of errors, please do not roll persistent damage. It doesn’t happen until the end of the victim’s turn.

Jiggo had a plan, but Bun the Black ripping into Bun Helsing changes his plans considerably.

"Honey, keep the sword busy!" He hustles off towards Bun Helsing.

"It's a naginata." Sal'era corrects him before staring at the sword. Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 But it's not paying attention.

Once he gets close, Jiggo reaches down to poke the fluffy bunny.
Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 7

"Hey! Come on, get up." He doesn't really know how vitals for Poppets work, but it somehow did the job.

◆◆ Act Together: Sal'era takes 2 actions, Jiggo gets a bonus action
- Sal'era tries to Disable the Haunt and Critically Fails
- Jiggo Strides
◆ Jiggo casts Heal on Bun Helsing

Sal’era is too distracted by the risk Jiggo is taking, and asks that the spirit be connected rather than disconnected. Fortunately this does not interfere with the work already done.

Bloodmoon says “I have a name, you know.”

Jiggo gets to Bun Helsing and quickly heals them.

Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Then she gets to work trying to unravel the haunt's magic.
Occultism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Soddy sounds a bit like a broken record.

“Unbelievable! How can you not recognize Bloodmoon, the blade that Fumeiyoshi, the god of the night, used to slay his younger brother Tsukiyo?!?!”

“The younger brother has always been pampered by his mother, the sun goddess Shizuru. You could ask for no better proof than how she reacted to the battle. She had the audacity to resurrect Tsukiyo and then stripped Fumeiyoshi of all his prior dominions, leaving him to only be a god of graves and envy.”

He goes on a rant about how infairly Fumeiyoshi was treated and how wonderful the battle was when he slew the moon.

Bloodmoon loses one action on his turn from monologuing.

Well, Soddy certainly got the blade talking.

She didn’t have as much luck with dispelling the spirit.

The Veiled is stubborn, she wants to end it here. She continues offering prayer to the deity to unravel the mysteries of the swinging weapon.

She then sprouts thorns on her skin before facing Bun the Black head-on later.

◆◆ Disable Haunt
◆ Vibrant Thorns

Just as Bloodmoon is getting to the more gory part of the story, the Veiled Lady manages to cut off the connection and the haunt stops animating the sword and it falls to the ground. At least for now, you suspect more is required to permanently stop it.

She then prepares to be mauled by Bun the Black — making herself as prickly as a pear.

Suddenly seeing Bun the Black in his face, and seeing his stuffing sticking out of him, Bun wonders if he's bitten off more than he could chew.

"My, but you're a thlimy thing..." he says. He crawls away from the other Bun and pulls out a healing potion.

◆ Step (well, crawl)
◆ Step
◆ Interact to draw

1d6 ⇒ 6

Bun Helsing crawls away, leaving his gun behind. Once he is far enough away, he draws a healing potion.

Bun the Black sucks in his breath only to realize that he doesn’t have enough mucus to spit it out again.

Bun the Black looks at Eddie and says “You’re turn to experience the awesome might of Bun the Black!”

"Hit it while it'th thtunned!! Jutht remember a thtuffed rabbit hit you while on the ground you ... you ... you ... therpent!" he calls from the floor.

Zot!

After drinking a healing potion much too close to its expiration date, Bun pulls out a bottle of lightning. His throw is perfectly on target. Bun the Black’s serpent coils contract suddenly.

The bottle also splashes Eddie and Jiggo for minimal damage.

"ACK! Thorry Jiggo and Eddie!"

To himself, he mutters, "I thould write thith all up and thend it to Profethor Bun Bun. Maybe I'll athk a bard to make thith a play called 'Battle of the Bunth'"

"Here I come." Veiled Lady murmurs with a smile. She goes into flanking positon and pokes Bun the Black.

↺ Shield Block or ↺ Leshy Superstition – Trigger You attempt a saving throw against a spell or magical effect, but haven’t rolled yet. You notice spirits that inhabit objects, learning which bring good fortune and which are unlucky. You focus on the power of a lucky object, granting you a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw against the triggering effect.

Vibrant Thorns: Adjacent creatures that hit you with a melee attack, as well as creatures that hit you with unarmed attacks, take 2 piercing damage each time they do. Anytime you cast a vitality spell, the thorns' damage increases to 2d6 until the start of your next turn.

The Veiled Lady flanks with Eddie and pokes Bun the Black in the back. She then raises her shield to protect herself from any reprisals.

Eddie closes their eyes as the attacks come fast and furious. They feel some bumps and pokes, but when they open their eyes everything seems to be still attached. "Woah!" They grip their staff tightly and nod to themselves.

Eddie ◆ grips their staff in both hands and swings with all their shroomy might at Bun the Black.

◆ +1 Striking Staff of Water vs OG: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 182d8 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

◆ +1 Striking Staff of Water vs OG: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 5 = 52d8 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

The swings are overly dramatic but weak and poorly aimed.. its no wonder they never swing that thing.
