Arity throws a clever remark, leaving the woman stoned in surprise Bon Mot success! Then she raises buckler and moves in

Flory raises shield of her own, moves closer and tries to frighten the creature. But even despite her being thrown away by Arity, she does not see Flory threatening. Intimidation failure

Mary moves in, grabs her rapier and strikes twice. She hits once, and it feels like stabbing a stone. Hit -6 due to resistance

GM Screen:

RK: 3d20 ⇒ (7, 9, 9) = 25

Albrecht recognizes the creature as Gargoyle, they have resistance to physical damage, except specific types of metal (adamantine), they posses no weaknesses.

Some lore about Gargoyles:

Gargoyles are monstrous hunters made of elemental stone. They use their resemblance to decorative statues to hide in plain sight in cities during the day and descend upon unlucky pedestrians at night. Their most common form is that of a horned humanoid with bat-like wings, but individual gargoyles show a great deal of variation, with some appearing more or less humanoid and others resembling no known creature. A gargoyle’s features are not flxed; city-dwelling gargoyles who remain in the same locale long enough slowly morph, day by day, to match the style of the local architecture. These patient monsters can stay disguised for long stretches of time as they patiently await an opportunity to strike.

Woman raises from the ground and begins to fly about 3 ft high, from there she strikes Mary and then Arity

Jaws@Mary: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Damage, piercing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12

Claws@Arity: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 4 = 16
Damage, slash: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Mary is hit with the jaws but the claws miss Arity. Mary -12

Soon after Mary moves next to the well, two oozy creatures drag their blobby bodies out of it.
Two enemies added, blue and yellow

Bonnie draws her sword, shields herself, and enters Arcane Stance.


Bonnie prepares for more foes to come. Albrecht tries to recognize the creatures

The stone lady has resistance 5 to Piercing and probably Slashing as well. Bludgeoning? Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, it's going to take Mary a long time to take her down even if she crits every attack. Given the +13 to hit and 2d8+3 damage, Mary will go down long before that happens. Mylos may have to do the heavy work of generating damage on her with spells, or Bonnie with her fire damage.

Mary takes advantage of Arity's flanking to take one last jab at the stone lady before scurrying over to take on one of the oozes.

Albrecht calmly responds to Arity's request for aid.

"Working on it!"

devise a stratagem vs red: 1d20 ⇒ 12

"I'm not seeing much in the way of vulnerabilities though."

Yeah I know it's not my turn yet but I'd be taking this action at the start of my turn regardless.

◆ Devise a stratagem


Mary strikes Gargoyle and hits, but again her attack is resisted a bit Red -7

Then she moves, and gargoyle strikes at her with claws...

Aoo@Mary: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage, slashing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10 but misses. Gargoyle has AOO when flying.

Mary strikes on ooze, hitting them. Yellow -8 immune to precision

Flory strikes the creature with her claw, it feels like cutting gelatine. yellow -13

Then she shields herself. Arity raises her buckler and trikes twice. Only one of her strikes hits. Red -5

Albrecht prepares...

But gargoyle wasn't there to look pretty. She get herself back in shape. Concentrate action to finish bon mot, moves her wings to keep flying and strike at Arity

Claws miss Bonnie completely. Then she makes a strike of her own. She hits the gargoyle in the back, leaving a large bruise on the stone. Only a hit -13

Mylos empowers Albrecht's weapon, Who shots at the ooze, once hitting and once he is able to miss. Blue hit -7

Extra dice: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Then oozes hit back. Blue goes after Flory

Mary takes an oozy pseudopod across the face but manages to dodge the other two strikes. "Ew! He slimed me. I feel so funky." Mary keeps poking at the ooze a couple more times before whipping out her shortsword and slicing across it.

Flory blocks the hit with her shield and feints, despite her being not horrible, the ooze does not respond. Immunity to mental which feint is.

She strikes with her claw and rips part of the ooze open. Hit blue -12

Arity strikes creatures with lightning

Arity then strikes hitting the flying Gargoyle. Hit Gargoyle -4

Gargoyle continues to fly and strikes once on Arity once on Bonnie

Mary wipes the slime from her eyes in time to see the last ooze finally rupture under the unrelenting assault of her friends. She then turns to their remaining opponent.

The slime-edged hem of Flory’s cloak whips out at the gargoyle.

You concentrate your effort on Gargoyle, Mary fails to feint but lands a solid blow. Bonnie lands a hit as well, her fire dealing the full amount of damage, surprisingly Albrecht's word struck Gargoyle with great strength, and then his arrow crushes the remains of her body. Flory claw missed the target, but the Gargoyle was already dying.

Combat is over. But you don't know if you have time to heal. You can try and see what will happen.

You found a rusted box in the fountain, it contains a brittle piece of parchment that names the bearer as the owner of "Maunder Castle, Maunder Bridge, and all appurtenances thereto."

The box also has a silver signet ring with a large ruby worth 75 gp; the ring’s band is inscribed with the words "Lord Maunder." The fountain contains a single metal climbing bolt that’s been underneath—and unharmed by—the sewer ooze for many years.

The door leading inside the castle is closed.

How would you proceed, head right in? Heal with potions and spells? Leave the castle to heal through threat wounds?

Mary looks at the signet ring with a trained eye and nods in approval. "This is worth some serious gold." She tucks it into a pocket with the rest of the party loot. Her eyes light up when she reads the parchment. "Well, looky here! Seems we're now the proud owners of this castle and the bridge, and a good chunk of the land around here." She gives the building an appraising look and frowns. "Not in great shape, is it? We may not want to give up our lodgings at the fishing camp just yet." She glances at the climbing bolt, shrugs and adds it to the party loot.

She then examines the group for wounds. "I think we should take the time to heal up before we go in. How about we head outside for a moment to let me and Albrecht patch us up before we hit the castle? I'm in no hurry to face whatever's inside."

Bonnie has two minor healing potions from character creation, which are probably too weak to be of any use in combat now. Since she's only down a little bit (two MHP will get her close to full), she'll suggest that we heal right in the courtyard - she'll keep watch on the door.

"It's exciting. We should make sure we're in good shape before we go in."


If you want to do it, in short time, I would have to know, who is using BM on whom, so that we have clarity.

Even with Bonnie gulping down her potions, we have Mary down 19 HP, Arity down 13 HP, and Flory down 7 HP for a total of 39 HP. Mary has already done Battle Medicine on Arity, Mary, and Mylos today, so she can't help there. It is unlikely that we're going to recover 39 HP using just Albrecht's Battle Medicine, a couple of Heal spells, and whatever potions we have on us. If we want to go into the coming fight at full strength then we will probably need to take the time to Treat Wounds.

Mary palms her minor Elixir of Life and looks at it doubtfully. "I don't think this is going to do it."

Arty winces at the slice she has received.
"Hmmm, I don't think it would be wise to try and get these tended to before proceeding. Who knows what monsters they have in there, given they had a GARGOYLE as an outdoor guard. This is quickly getting out of hand."

Sorry, to be clear - Bonnie is willing to guard the door while others are doing Treat Wounds. She didn't use Focus, so she'd be sitting around most of the time. This would allow us to heal to full while still maintaining vigilance against something that could otherwise come out and surprise us mid-bandaging.

Albrecht looks over the carnage before turning his attention to the keep.

"Hmm... The rest of the building is rather small. I doubt we'll have time to properly treat our wounds before someone emerges and assaults us. Even worse, the remainder of the leadbuster lads might be able to escape through a window or other egress.

Perhaps Mylos could provide us with a burst of healing while I provide some emergency first aid on the most injured. Then we could invade the keep immediately."

He shakes his head sadly. "Unfortunately I have not prepared any healing elixirs for today. I apologize for my lack of foresight. I do have a couple of improved drakeheart mutagens however."

A 2d8 AoE heal from Mylos would heal 9-10 on average then Albrecht could battle medicine for 2d8+3. That should come close to topping everyone off unless RNG does us wrong. The Moderate, drakeheart mutagen will provide 7 AC (5+2dex) vs the 5 (1+4) that we currently have. Perhaps Arity and Mary could use those.


retired | NG female (she/her) undine human castle owner / part time pirate

I think Treat Wounds is better, heals and Battle Medicines are really good in combat. If we're concerned about being too close, we could go back outside the castle, and Bonnie can pull the gate down behind us. It potentially locks us out of the castle, but Bonnie can always Dimensional Assault back in.

Okay let's go with treating wounds.

Albrecht pulls out a healing kit and begins to bandage Mary's wounds.

Assurance Medicine gets Albrecht a 17

healing- Mary: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10

If we decide to spend 20 minutes then...

healing, continual healing- Mary: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3) + 3 = 11


Bonnie keeps watche the door, while Albrecht tries to fix Mary.

He is able to heal her while Mary heals Arity. With a bit of coordination at all fronts, they are able to pull it off.

Heal@Arity, Mary's assurance: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 5) = 13

After 10 mins: Arity is full, Mary is at -9, Flory at -2

When Albrecht begins to once agian patch Mary, the doors burst open and in it you see a skeleton. It looks as susprised as you are. Behind it you see.

Although this tall tower has supports for what must have been two interior floors, it has since become a drafty and dark open space that stretches twenty feet up to the roof above. The wall has only a few narrow windows that remain closed with thick wooden shutters. A set of stone stairs leads partway up one wall to a broken platform that has three unfurled bedrolls, and the main open area of the keep seems tidied up. One side features a long stone table with an array of equipment and two human corpses. The other side has a pentagram carved into the floor. Stubby candles stand at each of the pentagram’s points, and the stone floor in the middle appears blackened as though from great heat.

Next to a table there is a dwarf. He has dark, curly hair and a long beard adorned with skullshaped beard clasps.

GM Screen:

Bonnie Anne, Scout: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

White: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Black: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

The skeleton walks towards Bonnie and strikes with scimitar

Scimitar@Bonnie: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage, s: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Scimitar@Bonnie: 1d20 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 5 = 21
Damage, s: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Crit -6

First strike is inacurate, but second is a lucky hit. Cutting Bonnie.

The other skeleton moves, draws a bow and shoots at Bonie

Bow@Bonnie: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage, p: 1d6 ⇒ 5

But misses.

The thing's seconds Strike throws Bonnie off, causing her to miss.

Bonnie steps aside, hoping to draw it out so that we can trap it in the bottleneck.

Mary sees the skeletons and groans. "Sheesh, why is it always skeletons? Why can't we get a few zombies sometimes?" From her experience with the previous skeletons, she realizes that her rapier and shortsword will be of limited use. She realizes that the only weapons capable of thumping the skeletons into submission are her fists. "I really should invest in a club one of these days."

Mary will delay on Bonnie, Mylos and Albrecht in the hope that they can get rid of Blue from the doorway. If not, then apply the rapier attack to Blue

Action (◇): Delay until end of Bonnie, Mylos and Albrecht's turns.

Mary scrunches up her fists and stepping over the remains of the skeleton at the door, enters the room. Seeing the dwarf, she thinks, "Now that's more like it," and pulling out her rapier, closes for a surgical strike before retreating out of the room again.

Action 1 (◆): Stride (40 feet) - Mary moves to the square directly northeast of the Red dwarf.

Action 2 (◆): Quick Draw
- Action: Interact - Take +1 Rapier in hand

Arity has two weapons on her belt, the shortsword sparkblade, and also the fencing cane that she was shown using once. Let me know which you enchant.

He would go to touch the sparkblade unless Arity pointed him towards the other.


Bonnie misses with her strike and steps away. AC16 ;)

Mylos shields himself and enchants Arity's and Albrecht's weapon.

Albrecht stops his first aid attempts and draws his shortbow.

devise a stratagem vs blue or white if blue is down: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Suspecting that he has quite the wrong weapon for the occasion he nevertheless takes careful aim and fires at the closest skeleton.

19+9=28 to hit

damage-precision, piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2
damage-positive: 1d4 ⇒ 4
deadly?: 1d10 ⇒ 4

◆ Draw shortbow, ◆ devise a stratagem, ◆ strike


Albrecht looks at the skeleton and recognize a set of bones that would be its weak spot. He sends an arrow. Despite arrows being not the best projetiles in fighting skeleton enemies, his dropped the foe in one go.

Mary runs into the room and stabs the dwarf in the back, then she pulls free her rapier and leaves the room before she is skeletoned to death. With ff it is a crit. -29

One of the skeletons moves through the door and stabs Arity

Scimitar@Arity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Scimitar@Bonnie: 1d20 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 5 = 3

One lucky arrow makes a tiny cut at Aritys arm. Arity -2

The dwarf is surprised by being stabed. He moves his hand and the whole room and half of the courtyard is filled with fog. Green circle on the map is Obscuring mist Every attack within the mist or from outside to in, should be preceded with flat d20 DC5.

Flory glances at the blood on Mary’s blade. ”Not all dead inside”, she says, her cloak lashing out at the skeleton in the doorway.

Let me resolve this in order now.

Before the mist hides most of the fighting, Arity strikes back at the skeleton carrying pink scarf. She hits and destroys them. Hit, despite resistance -4 positive is enough.

Arity then tumbles through black and without a flank
Flat check, DC5: 1d20 ⇒ 5

barely, but hits, also taking down the skeleton due to her holy weapon. Panache gained, black is down

Flory sees a silhouette of green which she tries to strike with her claw, but mist makes her ot miss. WIll you hero point? I will declare greens action, and you get priority of your strike, which would make its actions not to happen

Flory focuses her gaze, and claw swooshes through the corridor cutting the bow holding skeleton, massive sign of claws are left on the wall while Witch crushes her foe. Green hit and killed => no 1 damage to Bonnie.

Mary again runs in and strikes the dwarf, Mary was perfect her attack, it was good enough to hit. But the dwarf grabbed the skeleton and pushed it forward to intercept the hit. Reaction from the dwarf to swap places with skeleton
