DM Brainiac's Sky King's Tomb

Game Master Brainiac

Gig begins his courageous song. Brijetta scorches the closest troll with fire, then Mal spits a burning loogie right into its eyes, a critical hit! As the troll howls in pain, Uhe darts in and stabs it in the knee!

The injured troll roars and attacks the investigator, tearing with its claws.

The other two trolls begin hefting rocks and hurling them at Mal, fearful of her burning spittle!

Gig continues to perform and casts a healing spell on Mal.

Uhe barely notices the scratch. The dwarf glares Intimidatingly at the troll!

Looking like he is actually batting his eyelashes at the Troll, the Investigator reconsiders his next move....

Licking his lips, Uhe neatly places his Clan dagger behind its other knee!

Brijetta tries to help Uhe, since Mal doesn't seem to be too bothered by the thrown stones, but is distracted by the possibility of being hit herself.

◈ Channel Elements, including free kinetic blast; ◈◈ Shard Strike
Molten Wire impulse attack, inspired (range 15 feet): 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 1 = 20

Elemental Blast (fire), ranged (60 feet), inspired, attenuator: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 13

Mal fully blocks one of the boulders with her shield, squeezing her eyes shut against the remaining avalanche, but between her own enchantments and Gig's magics she escapes mostly unharmed. Nonetheless, she takes her carefully shaped throat and lets out a terrible screech, piercing the trolls' eardrums with her Eagle's Cry and then spitting at the one Uhe has distracted if it's still up.

Sonic (Auditory): 4d8 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 7) = 19 DC 26 Basic Fort for all three trolls. Frightened 1 on pass, Frightened 2 on fail, Frightened 2 and Fleeing for 1 round on crit fail

The troll dodges Brijetta's attacks, but Uhe scores another critical hit with Skysunder, following up with another strike. Mal's screech proves very effective, shattering the wounded troll into chunks of stone and crystal and leaving the other two reeling! She scores a critical hit as she spits acid directly into the eyes of the second troll.

The third troll starts to flee, terrified by Mal's shriek! The other one sputters and wipes at its eyes as it hurls more rocks at Mal. Its aim is off due to its fear!

Brijetta moves a little closer to the troll, then gestures and sends a spray of metal shards toward it!

Reflex vs Caustic Blast: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 1 = 26

Gig blinds the nearer troll, setting up Uhe to deliver another critical hit! Brijetta blasts it with shards while Mal continues to blast it with acid.

The blind troll lashes out wildly, getting in some lucky hits against Uhe. The one who was fleeing regains its wits and jogs back to get into the fight again, its wounds starting to regenerate.

Brijetta continues her assault on the most wounded of the trolls, spraying metal as she watches with concern as the creature heals.

Now that her camel spit has run dry so the Shared Stratagem should go to Brij or Gig, Mal continues to conjure more acid, but hunkers down against the trolls' continuing onslaught.

Gig finishes off the blinded troll with a barrage of needle darts to its face. As it crumbles, Brijetta peppers the other troll with metal shards and Mal blasts it with acid, then Uhe darts in for his favorite tactic, stabbing it behind the knee in yet another critical hit!

The final troll claws at Uhe, tearing into him!

Claws: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 261d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Brijetta concentrates and blasts the remaining troll with a spray of metal.

Taking several more hits and a blast of acid, the final troll falls!

Searching through the cave, you notice a disguised passage in the back of the cave that leads to a simple den, its crystalline walls worn smooth, and its floor lined with mosses, fabric, and furs. A crystalline tail peeks out from under the furs...

"Yoo-who, dragon? Hello?" Gig calls cautiously into the den. "We've come to help you, and we've got rid of those nasty trolls."

He waits to see if the tail reacts.

You hear a shriek from under the furs, then they go flying as the juvenile crystal dragon that was hiding under them leaps out. "No! Stay away! Don't hurt me!" the dragon cries as he runs around in a panic!

"Whoopsie, we won't hurt you!" Gig gasps in his most reassuring voice.

Make an Impression (Versatile Performance): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36

"You won't?" the dragon asks, Gig's soothing voice helping to calm him down. He perks up, cocking his head curiously. "So then, are you here to free my parent from the rest of the mean old trolls that took them? My name's Malikress. What's yours?"

"Oh no, they kidnapped your parent? They are the baddies, that's for sure," Gig reassures the little dragon. "Can you tell us anything about them? Where are they now? Any how many trolls took them?"

Uhe us seen wearing a court reporter outfit, complete with green visor, taking minutes....

"Hi Malikress, I'm a Mal too. Mine's short for Málmfríðr though, blame my mother. We thought the trolls would all be here. Where else're they lairin'?"

"The trolls have a camp not too far from here," Malikress says. "There aren't that many others, maybe ten or so? If you beat the three that were here, you can surely beat them as well and free my parent! I'll give you my most glorious treasure to help you!"

The young dragon digs in the corner of the cave for a few moments, before retrieving and presenting you with his prize: a jade bauble.

"Ten trolls? Hmm, hmm. We'll have to be careful, but it would be useful to have a dragon on our side," Gig reflects. "Thank you for the treasure."

Uhe nods in agreement.
Definitely! 10 trolls with a dragon will be easy!

"Málmfríðr?" Brijetta asks.

"That's a very nice treasure. We should see who can use it the most," she adds.

Mal sighs. "Yes, Málmfríðr. A sop for the discovery that the family might be on the hook for a dowry instead of receiving one. My great-gran's name on that side, you see. Ma had an oath outstanding to her own mother that I didn't know about to pass that one down if she got the chance."

You creep close to the troll camp to get a good look at it. It's a small camp, and indeed, you count only nine trolls moving about within. The leader appears to be a large female troll who is always accompanied by two male companions. Estrivalis is muzzled and tightly bound in the center of the camp.

"I could make us invisible so we can sneak in to camp. Or, we could disguise ourselves!" Gig suggests. "I bet once we free the dragon, they could keep a bunch of those trolls busy."

I have invisibility sphere and 4th-Rank illusory disguise that I can cast.

"Oh, that's a good idea!" Brijetta quickly agrees.

Uhe studies the situation quite steadily while nodding to himself.
PaL Leader

The Investigator then smiles at Gig.
Dat would be good. We sneak, free, then reposition ourselves prior to breaking your spell.

Gig cloaks you all in invisibility and further adds an illusory disguise before you sneak together towards the troll camp. The hulking rock trolls mill about, oblivious to your presence. At one point, Brijetta accidentally bumps into something, and a nearby troll turns towards the noise. "Hrmm? What's that?" he grunts as he lumbers over to investigate. You quickly and quietly move to another position and hold your breaths as he draws near. He peers at the empty air and scratches his head. "Must've been my imagination," he grunts before lumbering off again.

You move deeper into the camp, avoiding drawing any more attention. Soon, you find yourselves beside the chained Estrivalis. The dragon subtly lifts their head and turns a bit towards you. It seems they can sense your presence nearby, but they don't want to give away your position to the trolls...

Uhe smiles up at the currently chained Estrivalis. The dwarf takes out an arrow and writes in the dirt before her

Quite embarrassed by this performance, the Investigator is extremely happy that no one can witness his novice attempt and probably breaking of his picks...

Determined, the dour dwarf takes out his replacement set and gets back to work!
Thievery(M): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 17 + 2 = 34

Feeling better, he considers whistling a tune while he works, but recalls the situation...
Thievery(M): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 2 = 30

With a little bit of effort, Uhe is able to release the bindings on Estrivalis. Immediately, the dragon roars in triumph and rises up to their full height, spreading their wings as they tower over the surprised cavern trolls nearby. They breathe forth a flurry of sharp crystals from their mouth before pouncing on the nearest troll, ripping and tearing with teeth and claws!

The camp is thrown into a panic by the dragon's sudden attack. You see the female troll that serves as the leader and her two companions rushing to intervene. If you can hold the trio off, Estrivalis should be able to make short work of the other trolls!

Everybody but Gig may act first!

Quite satisfied with his work (secretly more than satisfied that he was invisible), Uhe studies the Leader Troll!
DaS: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Thankfully he already drank a Quicksilver Mutagen for such occasion!

The Investigator decides to go for a Little Troll instead!

The troll leader and one of her minions take the full effects of Mal's shriek while the other one ignores it. Brijetta blasts the wounded troll with flames and metal shards, then Uhe runs in and scores a hit.

The lead troll howls and rips at Uhe with her claws, rending his flesh. The other trolls attack him as well, but only one manages to get in a good hit.

The lead troll is only splashed by Mal's acid, but the other one catches it full in the face, the acid lingering as it erodes the troll's rocky hide. Uhe scores two critical hits on that troll, but it's still not enough to bring it down! Brijetta's attack misses.

The trolls roar and rampage, ripping and tearing Uhe, rending his flesh and leaving him bloodied on the ground! The last troll steps over the investigator to get to Mal, slashing her as well.
