all good, you had mentioned it a while back! No worries.
"Argh damn bloody webs Spending time to rip his way out of the webs, he sees that the blue spider has moved too far away for him to lob a ball of fire at it. Striding forward and away from the webby walls, he'll throw an Intimidating Glare at the remaining spider, hoping to scare it off guard for if it attacks Olaf.
Yeah I was reading the Afflictions rules and it seems like the poison is treated as separate. Seems like it has its own rules for if she gets the different degrees of success. I'm not sure if the monster's stat block says anything differently for if there is a critical with its poison. But it seems to me they are treated as separate sources of damage.
Avoiding the sticky webbed walls near him, Fentus continues to lob fireballs into the room, targeting the yellow spider again.
He follows up with casting a quick Guidance on Zainab offering words of encouragement as he does so, "Watch those sword swings, don't get overhwlemed!"
all good! life happens :)
Fentus, knowing he should have led with fire, runs up next to the radiant Zainab and flicks his hand producing a small fireball and throws it the Yellow Spider directly head, "I'll start blasting the ones in the back, if you hold the line Olaf!"
Drawing a dagger to cut threw any webs he encounters, "Are we really sure we don't wanna try fire? I'm sure I could burn this all down in no time," His fingers begin s smoking just thinking about it. His hands itching to produce flames.
Continuing to walk, "I'm sure she doubled back here while we were sleeping and will be waiting for us. This time we'll be ready for her tricks,"
Stepping up beside Olaf, "No no, I have a feeling, like I'm being drawn back to the Citadel. This tunnel is leading us right back into the basement. Deeper even. I feel it, like a sense or a tingling. . ." He looks distant, concerned at what this means, his last sentence trailing off at the end softly.
Looking at the others, "We might as well finish exploring this cave to its fullest since we are right here? Then double back and finish the castle's basement? Both seem equally important, we might find more answers in this cave but the Citadel seems pretty pressing as well. I still only have more questions than answers" He says this last part, shaking his head.
Oh sorry I wasn't clear, the class feat is: Divine Evolution: Prerequisites bloodline that grants divine spells The divine might provided by your bloodline fiows through you. You gain an additional spell slot of your highest level, which you can use only to cast your choice of heal or harm. You can cast either of these spells using that spell slot, even if they aren’t in your spell repertoire.
Oh I did a little bit up, it was right after my recap I posted. But I can post them again. It was a pretty low key level for me. 1 new spell learned, Blood Vendetta . Also on the spell front I can cast Heal 1/day for free at my highest spell level. The other class options weren't that great honestly. And his skill feat he learned was Bon Mot, which I also wasn't terribly sold on but didn't really see anything better at this time for him to take.
Opening and closing his hands, "I don't know about that, I feel like I only unlocked this healing magic thanks to your influence. Seems like the more I experience the more power is unlocked. Sometimes it feels like my blood is scorching hot. Despite how I use it, I can't shake the feeling that this power is not a power of Good"
Also level four for Fentus brings a new spell, Blood Vendetta . I really like the flavor and utility of this spell. A real "How dare you make me bleed my own blood" kind of spell. Made me laugh a little. Felt in character. Also he learned how to Bon Mot I guess. And he gets a free spell slot to cast Heal or Harm at his highest spell level (lvl 2 spells currently).
I feel pretty good so far about where the story is at personally. My understanding of the story so far is: My version of a recap, huge block of text: So far we all gathered around to answer the Call for Heros by the city council. During that initial meeting the council building was lit on fire and attacked by small fire creatures and a devious halfling. Additionally there was some sort of danger to the goblins at the old castle/citadel on the hill. Coincidentally it seemed the halfling had escaped to the citadel as well. With our sights set on the citadel and saving the goblin tribe that lived there and catching the Halfling we set off to begin our journey. Arriving at the Citadel we decided to just brave the front entrance, turned out there were some terrible hairless dogs guarding it so we backed up slowly and looked for an alternate entrance. Finding that alternate entrance we then began romping through the castle getting into fights until we arrived at a large courtyard with a dragon thing guarding it. We fought it, defeated it barely then saw the Halfling threatening the remnants of the Goblin tribe. Using some of Fentus' infernal magic, he charmed the Halfling Calmont and was able to convince him that the goblins were beneath him and that Fentus and Calmont were fast friends. I convinced him to go into hiding in the woods and wait for me to return and I'd help him with finding the treasure in the basement. The goblins explained that very strange creatures had forced them from their home in the basement and we agreed to go kick some ass in the basement. We went into the basement and begun kicking ass. Fought a bunch of Lizardfolk or something and strange birds from the Far South. Seemed impossible for such creatures to be all the way up here unless magic was involved. We also found some Kobolds and we befriended them and placated them by calling them great dragons and such. They agreed to help us secure the basement or at least not fight us as we secured the basement. We explored another wing filled with terrible undead. We almost met our end thanks to these specters and zombies and revenents. Here we found a tunnel that led all the way back to Town and popped out in the basement of the seedier bar in town. Fentus intimidated the owner into spilling her secrets that Voz used it. Connecting the dots that Voz must be responsible for whatever is going on with the Castle and the Undead there we went to her house. Inside while exploring Fentus was almost sliced in half by a terrible trap he sprung. Barely living through that they found evidence that Voz was at a local landmark known as Guardian's Way. We asked around, got directions then set off. Bringing us to today where we stumbled upon some bandits in league with Voz but we were able to convince them it was in their best interest to leave Voz's service. We traded away a magic item and some promises and then went into this Cave where we confronted Voz. She revealed she was evil and now thanks to her letters we have proof she is an Adherent of Norgorbor and truly unredeemable evil.
Heals = 18 hitpoints gained:
As they are preparing to bed down, Fentus gathers the crew around and expends the rest of his magic in a quick 30 second burst of healing.
Looking at the others after reading the letters, "We'll have to do everything we can to stop her. And more references to Alseta's Ring. Seems like everything is coming to a head in the basement of the Citadel. Might be time to head back there and finish exploring it,"
ahhhh im a fool I cant believe I posted in the wrong chat, what a silly rookie move XD Must have gotten my tabs mixed up
Fentus releases the energy he had crackling in his hand, letting the hellfire pounding in his ears slow to a steady dull thrum. "Let's not talk about my attempt at being heroic, it didn't really go as planned." Looking to the spider creature, "I'm sure we'll see Voz again before this is all over," He'll begin to explore the area with the others.
Fentus blinking his eyes as he re awakens, wounded, and in pain, he weakly croaks as he sees the rest of the group, "Did'ya at least stop Voz?" He stands shakily to his feet then blasts a black inky ray from his hand, trying to sap some of the intense bugly strength from this monster.
Fentus bleeding out, tries to will his blood back into his body. not sure if we keep hidden from other players: Unfortunately more leaks out.
Rushing headlong into the room chasing Voz, he comes eye to many eyes with the spider creatures, "Oh that witch, she's led us into a trap! Go on without me, I'll hold these spiders off, you guys chase Voz! She's heading back for the entrance!" Fentus rushes the rest of the way into the room, in a heroic act of defiance he wouldn't have thought possible for himself to commit to before casting a new spell, he slams his hands together creating a thunderous clap, exploding on the spider-like creatures.
Fentus runs forward, chasing Voz around the corner, sighting in on her he will throw another small ball of fire in an attempt to stop her escape.
"Get back here!"
Fentus growls in frustration, letting the flame sphere expire, he throws a ball of fire at her.
Roaring at her, ”Dont even think of running away from This fight, we’ll chase you down Voz. We will get our answers!”
hey I'm going up north for two weeks. Should be back on the 25th. Should have alright cell service most days. If I'm moving slow ~ more than a day of waiting for me, please bot me.
Scowling, "Damn you to hells then, have your wish and die with your secrets!" He continues sustaining the Flame Sphere, then attempts to dispel magic on Trista, counteracting whatever spell Voz just cast on her.
You're magic pales in comparison, mastery of undeath, bah! I have learned mastery of the very hells themselves!"
flame sphere dc19 reflex:
Fentus continues sustaining his flame sphere, roiling it in between her legs trying to scorch her and end her infernal dance dodging it. He'll then throw a produced flame, trying to hit or extinguish another one of her images as well.
"Have you considered this might be a miscommunication! We can always fight this out again later, but if you don't stop, you'll die here!"
Fentus laughs as he watches Voz get burned by his flame sphere, which he continues sustaining, holding it steady. Taunting her further "How you like that heat? Those are the flames of Justice, surrender now or be reduced to ash!" He'll then add some fire to the flames and throw a produce flame at her.
Fentus similarly growls in frustration, until Zainab's healing magic washes over him. "Thanks Zainab, now let's bring her down!" He moves to the side to keep sight of Voz, not letting her slip away he moves his flaming sphere back on top of her. And then folows up, providing guidance on Olaf, trusting the big guy to handle whatever those skeletons can throw his way.
Fentus moves along the wall, skirting the enemy skeletons to get a better view before reaching out his hand and rolling the flaming sphere over on top of Voz. Struggling to maintain this much magical energy, he just barely is able to cast guidance on Trista next to him. "This might get rough quick,"
heck yeah have a great vacation! Enjoy your time of relaxation
Grimacing as he watches his friend take some no doubt nasty necromantic damage, Fentus scowls at Voz, shouting "What's even your end game here? Raise the dead, cause a raucous? Surrender and let's talk this through, you can't just be evil for evil's sake!" He similarly barks some magical words, throwing a ball of fire that engorges and enlarges into a flaming sphere at the Red Skeleton's feet.
Placing his hand on Trista's blade, he causes it to shine with all the intensity of a Torch, "Sadly, it doesn't do much more than light the way, maybe one day I'll be able to make your weapon burst into fire or something cool,"
Fentus holds his hand out, flaring it with a bright light, "Trista or Olaf, want me to light one of your weapons?" Looking at the ground for tracks, "I'm not really much of a tracker unfortunately,"
Looking at the others preparing for battle, his hands start to smoke and itch as he mentally prepares himself, "I guess we best get on with it then, Voz's power only grows while we wait. I am surprised that worked, I kept expecting them to attack us at any moment. Morally I'm not sure it was right to let them go, stronger than before too, but, honoring a deal is important."
Standing there a little stunned, surprised that this plan worked as to Fentus it felt like a snowball rolling down a hill, gaining momentum he wasn't sure he could believe it wouldn't crash at the bottom, holds a hand up. "Wait, Boss, real quick, can you tell us anymore about Voz before you go, did she have anyone else with her? How far into the ruins is she?"
Taking out the doubling rings and the bracers of missile defense, "I have two fine items here, both I think would benefit you in your unique situation. This set of rings here are known as Doubling Rings. They aid greatly in your martial prowess and they also magically allow your sword blows to hit what feels like twice as hard. You will be dispatching any and all enemies twice as fast wearing these." Setting the two rings down together on the table in front of her. "This second item, known as Bracers of Missile Deflection. Sounds pretty amazing, I know. Imagine never having to worry about a pesky assassin shooting you from the trees, these babies, made from fine mithril help ensure that any arrow or bolt helps get deflected before ever touching you," He then sets the Bracer's down on the table next to the Doubling Rings. "As I said, boss, we are a little light on gold, but I'm sure these two fine items would benefit not only you greatly, but your operation as a whole." Looking to the boss, then to Olaf standing nearby, then the others.
Olaf, I think if she turns down our offer, I'll give you the sign for you to split her head open I guess
I’m still not sure what the plan is here lol, I’m just like riding a wave. It seems like maybe we shouldn’t let these bandits continue existing ya know? But Fentus isn’t really the murder hobo type to suggest violence first. The bracers and the doubling rings could be good to offer her.
Nodding, along with Dmiri, "Dmiri, Boss, I worry you've been deceived, this Voz, is a terrible necromancer and has planned to raise an undead army, I doubt she will stop with you. If anything, and I'm afraid to say it, she may raise you first only to get her money back. Then she has her money and her minions, no offense." Looking at Trista and the others, "We are a little light on money right now, but have a few magical items we could probably trade with you, that is, if you don't want to help us catch Voz before she raises more undead and comes for us all,"
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, looking around for a place to sit, "Ahh, I see, of course I would never ask you to break faith, unless it was that your other client has been dealing in bad faith with you this whole time," Looking at the others before continuing, "Please, tell me what do you know of your client, I wonder if they are the same as the one we are looking for? If they are, I might have some important information for you that could save you your lives,"
Stepping inside as well, following Trista's lead, "She wouldn't pose much threat to you, I'm sure. Have you seen anyone else come around this way recently?"
Wide-eying the rest of the group, whispering "you guys ever hear of the Bloody Blades? I certainly haven't" Turning back to, our new host, "Yes, I would love to show you some of my magic, I am sure I have several spells that would be of use to you, I almost forgot to introduce my companions," pointing to Zainab, "This is Zainab," stepping over to Olaf, pantomiming big muscles, flexing, "This is Olaf, I think of him as our muscle," finally stepping over to Trista, "And this quiet one here is Trista, she is a little bookish but knows a whole lot about a whole lot, very handy to have around," Whispering again, "Not trying to spill all our secrets in the introductions, lets just get in close and see what's what," Stepping forward a bit, "Do you need any help setting this area up? How long have you guys been here for?"
Looking around at the others, not really sure if he should keep going, sweat starting to form on his brow, stepping forward as he talks to the Hobgoblin, "Wait, I apologize for lying, I think I may know you though, I've heard stories of a rather, powerful and beautiful Hobgoblin bandit leader, you seem to fit the description. I'm not sure if you've heard of me, somewhat of an up and coming sorcerer. Names Fentus."
Holding his arms up in mock surrender, "Woah hey, we mean you no harm, we're looking to find some shelter. We just got a little lost and there's whole pack of wolves back there hot on our tail, we don't mean to be trespassing, we are just looking for some shelter for a brief moment,"
