Prank War Map

The fey is already moving quickly as it flits around ready to avoid Aella's magic.

Shining Fey Reflex vs Tempest Surge: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

The wicked grin on its face vanishes as it bumps into a bookshelf and the lighting strikes it directly. It gnashes its teeth while spitting out foul curses.

Doven, hoping to drop the fey without killing it, leaves his flail strapped across his back. Instead, he raises his shield against the blinding light, rushes clumsily forward, and lashes out with a closed fist.

Exploit Vulnerability (Esoteric Lore): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
That is enough to trigger a mortal weakness if this Fey has one!

◈ Mirror to flank with Doven

Striking Lion’s Bite (Empowered Leiomano, Mortal Weakness, M.W): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 23
Bludgeoning / Slashing) damage that triggers Highest Weakness: 2d6 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 12

Jinglemane considers the fire starter fey. "You are a coward, and your craven ways are putting children at risk! Plus, you are starting really, really, really scary fires!" Jinglemane thinks about things that the nasty fey might be weak to, and he adds them to his strike.

He roars.

"ROOOAAAARRRRR! I am so going to bite your craven ass!"

Should the Fey not have a weakness, please add +4 damage from Personal Antithesis to Jinglemane's strike.


Prank War Map

I have added Courageous Anthem Bonus to Aella's spell and Doven's attack. I think it is already accounted for in Jinglemane's attack.

Doven lands a staggering blow that sends it back into the shelf as it sputters and gnashes.

Studying the creature, Jinglemane recognize the shining fey's weakness to cold iron and is able to use it as part of his attack. The strike is a devastating bite that tears into the furious fey.

The sprites at the door call out as they ask, "listen to them before more are hurt!" They seem to be the slightest bit heartened a bit by Doven's punch and only disappointed when it wasn't a knock out blow.

The shining fey is far more bloody, battered and scorched as it focuses on Jinglemane. It screams out, "hide away the children! Coddle them! Fire is supposed to be scary! Maybe burns will teach!"

Claw vs Jinglemane, Clumsy: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 - 2 = 29
Slashing Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

It nearly deals a tears a deeper cut into Jinglemane, but the lingering electricity causes the claw to jerk just enough to minimize the blow. Enough for Doven to ward off completely.

3 damage to Jinglemane, which Doven is able to prevent completely.

The shining fey seems even more insulted as it yells out, "you are even afraid of a little cut!"

It beings to fly up and away as it declares, "give me a moment and I'll show you something to be afraid of!"

As it flies off, its body merges with the light in the room until it vanishes completely once more, although movement from the mirrors makes it clear it is still in the room.

Flat Check vs Persistent: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Courageous Anthem (ends round 4): +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects.

The hostile fey is invisible now. Anyone looking for the shining fey can locate it with a one-action Seek and making a DC 22 Perception check.

Shayna attempts to locate the hostile fey.

"There it is! It's under the table!" she yells, pointing the creature out, before pulling a throwing knife from her belt.

Jinglemane can't see the creature, so he moves up to where one of his colleagues are pointing.

Does he believe Shayna or Aella?: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Crap. He believes the person who didn't actually see the creature.

Jinglemane runs under the table and attempts to strike non-lethally at the fey, and just swipes at air for his turn.

Though he likes to tease her about being a witch, Doven has a lot of experience adventuring with Aella, and trusts her judgement. He raises his shield, strides to where she indicates, and throws another punch.

◆Raise Shield, ◆Stride, ◆Strike

I don't know where it is on the map/where exactly Aella (who made the DC) is pointing, so feel free to move my token to wherever is appropriate. I'm assuming I need to stride once to get to it; if I have to stride twice, cancel the raised shield. If I don't have to stride, Doven would punch a second time.

Prank War Map

Corrected the Persistent Damage from Tempest Surge.

Moved Doven to striking range. Kit was able to cast shield.

I would say that Jinglemane does required to follow Shayna's directions, especially since seek doesn't provide incorrect information on any failure. You can keep the action as is for if you rather for mirth or any other reason, but you can feel free to take that round of actions retroactively even going into the next round.

Mote of Light vs Aella: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 Hit against Aella's AC 19 (19 -2 off guard +2 cover)
Force Damage plus Precision: 2d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 + (5, 1) = 15
Assuming Doven provides a Liberating Step to Aella and reduces that to 8 damage.

Aella needs to make a DC 22 Will save against the light

Aella DC 20 Will Save:
Success: unaffected and you are immunue to the glow.
Failure: You are illuminated in golden light and can't be concealed and invisibility is reduced to concealed.
Critical Failure: As failure, but you shine with bright light and are dazzled for one turn.

Aella takes cover just in time to protect against a blast of light that slams into the books. It still connects with her, but dramatically dulls the blow.

"You ruin everything," cries out the fey to Aella. "You put out the fire! You point out where I'm hiding! It's like you don't want me to have fun at all!"

"And you," the violently brilliant fey yells as it swings wildly at Doven. "Stop getting in my way!"

Claw vs Doven: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 14 - 4 = 12
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

Claw vs Doven: 1d20 + 14 - 8 ⇒ (18) + 14 - 8 = 24
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2) + 2 = 10

The last attack is just barely able to get around Doven's shield to deal a bit of damage.

Courageous Anthem (ending round 4): +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects.

Kit tells the fey “You need a different sort of fun.

She tries to use her whip on it again.

I think Doven is at 14 damage (4 from the fire, 10 from the claw).

"You need to STAND DOWN!" Doven roars, his anger finally getting the better of him. He swings his first twice more, trying to batter the fey into submission, before once again interposing his shield between the creature and his allies.

◆Strike, ◆Strike, ◆Raise Shield.

Even this beaten, the fey is very quick and able to keep ahead of Kit's lashes. However its breath is quick and it hast little chance for vitriolic retort.

At some point that space runs out and Doven lands a blow that nearly knocks it out.

Aella tries to stabilize the other fey, if it is still alive.

The fey livid as it sputters out curses. It manages to land a blow on Doven, but even that can't scratch through his shield.

It starts to back up, but the numerous hanging mirrors show various views of Jinglemane and Doven at all angles. They are still furious but so exhausted that even bumping into the mirrors is a drain on them. They collapse on the ground, unable to fight off judgement of the party.

It glares in the direction of Aella, their words still laced with venom but no longer holding any energy. "No prank worth remembering doesn't leave some scars."

Combat is over, the party can safely take 10 minutes to recover.

Seeing that the battle is over, Kit quickly checks if Aella had stabilized the tiny fey in time and if so she treats their wounds.

As she is doing this, she tells the shiny fey “In my opinion the best pranks are those where everyone can share in the laughter afterwards.

Doven wanders over and slaps Aella on the back. "Good job, Not-A-Witch!" His hand glows as he congratulates her, and it seems to leave some ethereal foam behind, which quickly suffuses into her, healing her wounds.

Casting lay on hands on Aella. if we have time, he'll then refocus over an ice cold brewski and then do the same on himself.


Prank War Map

You able to tend to the wounds of the tiny fey. The glowing fey sneers at Kit's suggestion of the ideal prank.
The sprites look at you with some confusion as you provide care, although they also seem relieved. "You were very calm! Especially given all the fire!"

"Yes! And all the slashing! Not even most of us would be so kind!" The other sprites adds with a swipe for emphasis. "Normally the people of the city are much more quick to anger. Even for for smaller things."

If people are to learn, they need to survive. This is a school so people are supposed to learn things here.

Looking to the group, Kit asks “Is there any place we haven’t checked up on? If not, we should probably review the pranks one more time and then talk to J.

I think there is at least one classroom we haven’t checked, but am not sure. I know we haven’t checked the teacher’s lounge, but am not sure we need to.

"That's the teacher's lounge right over there? We may as well give it a look."


Prank War Map

The sprites are heartened by Kit's response, even beyond fun they clearly look at you with incredible favor. They state they will make sure the unruly fey is brought to Pappy. Given the level of exhaustion of the shining fey, it isn't any position to argue.

Doven is able to heal Aella, refocus, and heal himself before the party heads forward, but doesn't have time to refocus again.

The group is able to head into the hall and look toward the teacher's lounge. You see a teacher looking into the room while fending off a troop of satyrs playing raucous music behind them.

Before you can get down there, Aella is able to spot a spot a flying swarm of opossums. There are dozens of opossums and all their claws are flailing in the air as they bare their fangs in distress and confusion.

Among them a number giggling sprites fly among the creatures. The fey wield wands and scrolls and with waves of their arms the opossums fly through the halls. Aella sees them as the sprites break into laughter and giggles as they cry out surprise while one of the flailing creatures is sent flying toward the party.

Anyone can make an Arcana or Occultism check on the creatures.

The opossums are clearly hazardous as they come at you. Aside violent means of dispersal or removing the magic, actions can be taken to try to convince the sprites to stop (With Diplomacy, Deception, or Intimidate). Alternatively to calm or control the opossums could help this as well (With Nature or Athletics)

"HEY!" Doven shouts, the big dromaar glaring at the pixies. "Can't you see how terrified these little dudes are? You want to prank the school, that's great, that's what we're all here for, but don't torture these poor critters to do it!"

The opossums are confused, but they snatch at the berries and devour them. That is enough to calm some of the opossums. While most of them are still flailing, a portion of the multitude are eating their treats.

One of the sprites backs down and attempts to mollify Doven's declaration. "But... but... they are having fun. They have those big teethy smiles!" The sprite unconvincingly gestures to one of of the flailing and gnashing opossums. The fey waves a scroll and several of the opossums descend and find a safe corner as soon as they hit the ground.

Jinglemane widens his eyes and looks beseechingly at the fey. "Can't you see you're scaring them? They're not used to flying and adventure the way that fierce Lion hybrids are!"

Looking over to Jinglemane with a knowing smile, Kit says “It takes training before animals can enjoy flying.

Whispering something under her breath, Shayna gives herself some divine aid (Cast Guidance) before trying to entreat the fey to let the 'possums down.

"Please don't hurt them. They've done nothing to you! They're not having fun!"

Diplomacy(T): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17
Not very diplomatic...


Prank War Map

Another of the sprites lowers an opossum to the ground with the direction of Kit and Jinglemane. The creature takes off but the fey offers a hopeful explanation, "well... if they aren't use to flying, shouldn't this be good practice?"

The other sprites are too involved in the game to see immediate reason, and don't take any note yet of Shayna's arguements, and send the opossums flying through the air at the party. With a cheerful candor, a sprite calls out, "surprise! while the claws of the creatures swing out.

Opossum Flyby vs Shayna: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Opossum Flyby vs Doven: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Opossum Flyby vs Kit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Their movement is fairly predictable and slow for the sprites to control. Only one manages to get close enough to scratch Shayna.

2 damage, assuming Doven uses his liberating step.

Round 2
Kit
Shayna Quickfingers (2 damage)
Doven
Aella
Jinglemane
Mostly Illusory Opossums (3 successes)

Everyone can act!

It looks to me like these have already had enough practice for the day. Can you ask them?

Diplomacy to make a request of the fey: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Seeing the opossums clawing at anything that comes near them, Kit brings up a magical shield to protect herself.

I’m assuming it is two actions for Diplomacy. If it is only one action, she will Aid someone else with Diplomacy (using an action and reaction to do so).
Feel free to bot the Aid and use a Hero Point on a crit fail if applicable.

"Yeouch!" Shayna yelps, "Those claws are sharp!"

"Look, this is supposed to be a prank war. Pranks are supposed to be funny. No one's supposed to get hurt. That includes the animals. Will you please let them down."

She attempts to make another request.

Diplomacy(T): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Noting that her words are falling on deaf ears, Shayna conjures a shield to protect herself.

AC +1


Prank War Map

It is two actions for any of the activities to speak with the fey or calm the opossums.

In response to Kit the sprite nods and tries to encourage one of the opossums, "oh you don't want to be let down just yet, right?" The flailing and gnashing of teeth make the response clear as the fey gives a bit of dejected admission, "maybe you're right. Enough practice for today."

While the mass of opossums is now far more manageable, the last of the sprites does their best to shrug off Shayna's concerns. "But it is funny! You all have the funniest looks on your faces. And fuzzy ones are doing fine with some flying around! We aren't sending them anywhere dangerous!" They express this with a jubilant glee as they use magic to hold the opossums aloft.

"Come on, little critters, you're not supposed to fly. Have some more treats!" Aella throws some dried apple in the air.

Bat-tilda chirps, annoyed, at seeing her treats go to the opossums.

"Scaring these creatures that have no clue what's going on is funny? No." Doven glares even harder at the fey as he advances toward them, trying to interpose himself between the angry possums and his allies.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Will continue using Liberating Step if an ally gets hit.


Prank War Map

The opossums scramble to for the treats, but flail more as they try to reach for them.

Faced with the resolve from Doven the last of the sprites stammers out, "well, I though they would learn to laugh to. It was all in good fun." They lower the remaining opossums which gladly go snacking away the bits of dried apple before finding a place of safety.

The hallway a bit secured, although the sprites are a bit dejected about the reaction, but offer apologies to the party and the opossums.

There is a lull in the prank war allowing the party a chance to talk with the sprites before continuing forward toward the teacher's lounge.

10 minute rest. If someone wants to Make an Impression, the group can make one Diplomacy check with the sprites as they offer their apologies for making the opossums scared. Other characters can aid.

Rewarding Doven with a Hero Point for protecting the party several times and standing firm against the sprites and flying opossums.

Shayna has an aeon stone (the regenerating one) so she should be right as rain in a couple of minutes. She will pass on the Diplomacy check...

Shayna heads over to make sure the 'possums are unhurt.

Kit goes over to talk with the fey.

So I know that some gnomes can talk to animals, are any of you able to?

She then suggests some pranks that she thinks would be safe and still fun. Things like coloring the fur of the animals, making sounds to cause the animals to quickly run from place to place, and even make them chase their tails. She admits she isn’t sure how well all of these might work since she doesn’t know much about opossums. That is why she asked about speaking with the animals.

Smiling, she says “Lion hybrids are more my type.

I imagine someone else has better diplomacy. Assuming someone else leads, I will attempt to Aid on the check.

+10 Diplomacy. I can try but the 0-2 earlier doesn't leave me very confident :)

That beats Doven, who's better at Intimidation. Third time's the charm, right?

Aella helps lead the opossums back outside, muttering about irresponsible fey.

No Diplomacy here! She will spend some time with the animals, refocusing, though.

If this is a failure, Jinglemane will Hero Point it.

Jinglemane looks at the fey. "Look, I like pranks and I like to laugh. But not when it hurts people, starts fires, or scares animals. So... let's talk funny. Chairs that make fart noises when you sit in them. Allow the animals talk and have them do dad jokes. Turn lunch into ice cream! Having everyone walk on the ceiling. Or... give everyone awesome lion manes! And if you do that, I can record it for THE MANE EVENT: Your Guide to Lairs, Dares and Hair Care!"

Having Jinglemane suggest pranks may not have been the best idea...

"I like pranks too! But I agree with my friends. They're supposed to be somewhat fun! It's not fun if someone gets hurt!"


Prank War Map

Successes. No hero points spent.

"Oh! Ok!" They fay begin to gather as Jinglemane and Shayna talk to them. "We know that fires are bad, but we thought the flying animals would be fine since they lived here already."

Another pipes up, "but those are great prank ideas!" They look over their remaining scrolls and note, "these scrolls won't quite help with those. We got them for other pranks, but you should take them since we have all new ideas now! We won't be able to use them for all of that. We have to start on them quick if we want them to finish them before time is up!"

The sprites thank you for the guidance an offer the group two 1st level scrolls of heal.

One of the sprites asks if they could help by returning the opossums back to their room.

At the entry to the teacher's lounge, a teacher wearing a bucket as a makeshift helmet. They keep several students close as a tiny dragon flies through the halls with flying fey in close pursuit.

"Please return the opossums home and thank you for the scrolls! They're awesome!" Jinglemane waves farewell to fey, and then turns to the teacher with the bucket on his head. "Oh great new look! I should totally write an article on makeshift armor! Um, can we help you?"
