Diaz e Pam's page

Diaz will check out the hallway opposite him.

Here, this may give us more light. Diaz pulls a hooded lantern out of his pack. This way you can still use your shield.
investigation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

agreed

How did we miss that door? Did it just appear? What if it disappears when we go through it? Diaz asked sitting down and staring at the door

investigation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Anticlimatic but satisfying. Where to now? shall we blast out where we think the hidden room is or would there be a better way?

Diaz look in the room and on seeing the doll: yeah, no and snaps his whip sending an eldridge blast at the doll before it can kill them all.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 pushing doll back 10 feet as well if that hits

is her body

Is that her name? Macabre? But yes we will need spades and shovels I am afraid Diaz says not thinking clearly as he stares at the body. but why is body intact and bloody and the children were skeletons?

Blood? I think you are right. Do we want to open… never mind
Ready eldritch blast if the body moves

Blood? I Think you are right. Do we really want to open…. Nevermind
Ready eldritch blast for if the body moves.

Diaz follows Del but keeps a wary eye on the mannequins

Is anything in this place real I wonder? Should we put these remains to peace?
Diaz says while looking in on the skeletons. He will then stack up on the door with the brothers.

Diaz continues to keep an eye on overwatch
preception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Diaz hangs back at the door, keeping an eye behind them. do we check under the bed and rug? Diaz readies an eldritch blast if anything attacks.

Is it dead? I mean deader? Is it coming back? Diaz ask while looking at the remains as they disappear.

will you hold still so I can hit you! Diaz cries and points his whip as purple lightening streaks from it
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

precep: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Diaz is going to position himself by the door and hold eldritch blast until he sees the specter

For ease if it shows up
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

most folks go to fairbanks 1-2 times a month for costco and walmart. about 150 miles away. older folks won't leave town in the winter though. sounds like they are mostly down for a couple months, about 1/3 of the roof collapsed.

It is like Hoth up here. seriously, my house reminds me of echo base. I have 36-40 inch deep trenches to get to the various animal pens. A friend hit my drive way with a loader and there is a vehicle size path with 7-8 foot piles of ice and snow on either side. I shoveled out a widowed coworker on the way home last night and I was moving 30-40 pound blocks of ice on her sidewalk and had to break a foot of ice to open her door. the only grocery store in 200 miles had its roof collapse - along with one of the gas stations and some other buildings. Only good thing is it is too bad for most people to get out. seeing a few people from falls but that is it. had to go to one of my nurse's house who was doing covid hospice for her dad and put her shoulder back in place on Christmas day. It has been fun here. how's life with you guys? Someone want to slap Benj and get him to post?

it will likely come for you first since you drove it off. Feel like being bait? Stand in the middle and we will spread out. Maybe we can strike it before it gets to you.

using Christmas as an excuse of depriving us of our joy of playing d&d. your heart is obviously 3 sizes to small Grinchy ;) Merry Christmas everyone!

has anyone faced a creature like that before? Or know anything about it?

Diaz stares in a daze at the specter running away then jolts at Ash’s words.
Right , then I lead the retreat. Hope the door is still open.
Diaz will lead the way down the steps at a full move and prepare an eldritch blast at any specter he sees.

have delivered but not in a long time. hope its longer. You would think beaver would be full of giardia, so definitely cook it. did not know about the moose parasites other than blot flies, which some people eat raw from the hide. Alcoholics tend to be old professionals at it, so not much drunk and disorderly here

it’s running -20 to -30 so not cold yet. About 5 hours of daylight 10-3 right now. Losing @7minutes a day of light. We have caribou and moose but no beaver or porcupine. Beaver taste like sirloin steak btw. My parents came up for the month of November so that was nice

anyone want a turkey sandwich?

Diaz waits patiently

Is the door stuck? It seems like it is taking forever to open?

fair enough. Lead on

Diaz picks up pieces of the broom. mayhaps we can figure out what is going on if we examine these later. Should we continue? I think we can agree this is not what we bargained for. I would say we leave now.

Alas, we tried. Submit or we will sweep the floor with you
With that Diaz ducks down and shoots off another eldritch bolt
eldritch blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Diaz gasp looks at the broom oh that’s creative, maybe we can tame it as an ally? Nice broom, do you want to be friends? [ dice=diplomacy] d20 + 3 [/dice]

for the last month I have been telling my patients I have not seen a single person reinfected with covid and the freaking day I am supposed to fly out for a class I test positive for the second time in a year I test positive. Down right embarrassing!

Diaz starts hyperventilating with a panic attack

Diaz drops to 1 knee and points his whip between the baron legs and fires again
eld blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

eld blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
crit: 1d10 ⇒ 7

sorry for the delay. getting caught up at work, getting 2 students going and a ton of COVID test. ( only a few positives, seeing 60% of our positives are vaccinated, 40% unvac and yet to see a prior infected person get it again btw. )
hoping to get down next year. have to see how things pan out. aiming for gencon but will have to see. miss you guys.

Diaz runs behind the baron, risking an attack of opportunity, and uses Eldritch blast on the knight.
eldritch blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

If I hit and throw him back do I get an aoo?

Diaz pauses for a moment and notes the windmills. perhaps one of these tomes will provide answers. Give me a moment to study them

as Diaz’s family deals in rare books does he notice or discern any thing of value with the books or find anything relevant in them? [\ooc]

[ooc] back from hunting. It was cold. Tent temp was 22 one morning and temps were in the teens or lower every night. Pulled rafts in the kodukuk River north of the Arctic circle 15 miles south of the town of cold foot for 3 days snowed most days. The areas we were hunting required you to go in 5 miles before you could hunt. Didn’t kill anything. The thought I am missing gencon for this crossed my
Mind several times.

heading up to the brooks range hunting. Back next Sunday

with that Diaz does a very creative spin and "trip" pushing the suit of armor into the way adjacent to it

waiting on Del's reply before I do. If he doesnt improve I won't. If he does it would be the one closest

Diaz glances at Del, I noticed your frown of disapproval when I knocked the sword off the wall. I apologize, I was just being cautious. However, these suits of armor remind me of several books I have read, where the suits began moving on their own attacking people. I have always wanted to knock one of these things over. Would you be offended if I did so?
Are we agreed, this house is not at all what it appears. We have seen no one inside. If the children were real and concerned about their parents, shouldn't they have came in with us. Is this another one of Strahd's games? Should we just leave or make enough noise to get a response if people are in fact in need? What do you think? Ash, you seem to have misgivings as well.

anyone going to gencon ?

Diaz puts on the top hat and compares the quality of cloak to His own and will upgrade if it is better.
I always wondered what I would like with one of these. Does it cover the horns well?

Diaz will peak into the room on the other side, just opening the door enough to look in and ready to slam it closed if needed

It appears the sword is not trapped and does not fly. Diaz says dryly with a slight smirk.

Let me see
With that Diaz flips his whip and attempts to grab the sword off the wall without physically touching it.
hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
assuming just a hit roll?

Definitely!!! Nothing like taking a crap outside in 60 mph winds. Dries things off nicely. And who needs showers when you can get soaked with 38 degree glacier water repeatedly!

Didn’t the old lady say something about avoiding windmills?
