Good game all! Thank you, and y'all can have the evil life-stealing sword, no thanks says Raiden.
Taking a small break but will pop back on next month and look for new games.

Raiden is not really sure how he can help, other than probably to offer support to Ravvek and help people get back to normal.
Raiden agrees that the group should try to see this through, though not sure how to go about explaining it. What are the objects in the goo?
Raiden waits to see what Oreclasp is doing. Is he fighting back, unconscious, what?
Raiden leaps over the flames with a surprising agility, watching Anton beat the snot out of a dwarf. He looks around the room to see what else, or who else is there, while all but standing on the fire to block any exit. If the dwarf fights back, he will aim a few kicks his direction...
Raiden motions to Ravvek to please open the door.
Couple of strength checks as I see no other way to get this friggin' door down and the dice roller is being *&$%!!
Thinking about it for a second, Raiden has an idea. After hearing the sound of things breaking, he knocks sharply on the door, he does his best "guard" voice and says "Sir, is everything okay?. And if that doesn't work, , he gently tries to shoulder the door, lol, stupid dice.
If that didn't do it, Raiden would help. Poor guard, just fake it already. And, yes, once the hall is clear in our opinion, door needs to be quietly opened to make sure we didn't alert someone inside, and if we did we can take care of that quickly. Hopefully.
So...both guards out, door closed, right? Um, open the door I guess.
Raiden is ready to sneak by all of that and enter the lord's chamber as soon as we clear this hallway...
Welp, assuming he's just some poor chap who's been charmed, we aim to break that. And whatever's the source of the charm/curse. Basically, I think, find and question him. Yeah?
Raiden deftly climbs up that tree and jumps over, and makes sure no one else falls off, but can't contain a stifled laugh at all the noise. If necessary, he will help lower that rope.
We should look for a ladder, or use a rope or something. Or well first, is there a sheltered side of the wall? Probably not, it's a wall after all.
Let's go over to someplace where we can talk amongst ourselves and consider our options. And once away from the clueless friggin' guards, Raiden suggests maybe just walking in on this mysterious Lord Oreclasp. We could, you know, just move the guards out of the way if we have to. But, Raiden's pretty sure Ravvek and Anton will have a more diplomatic, and probably better, approach.
Raiden gives the dwarf a raised eyebrow. After Zayless receives an answer, Raiden will follow up with Have these kinds of attacks always been common around here?.
Raiden rolls his eyes at being told to wait, but doesn't add to the conversation.
Stealth and subterfuge are not really our strengths, so I think meeting with Oreclasp will be the most helpful to us. Whatever happens.
Raiden muses aloud Is that what brought us here, the magic?. You assume he's talking about the teleport spell going awry. He, too, is just about down for the count with fatigue and injury. Looking to the others to see if we're camping right here, right now, because that sounds like a decent plan, but we still probably need a watch.
Raiden huffs and puffs, not bothering to fully gather his breath. We were fighting some owlbears in a cave, that was really rough. And we found a diary, and that the people were murdered! Oh but you meant why are we here? We were at he motions in the direction of the village from where they came from and they were having the owlbear attacks. There were people taken, we followed. Well Davith told us about them. He's a priest. And then we followed the tracks, and you were here.
Raiden's action surge then:
Raiden runs over and hopes his sword can finish this fight.
If that wasn't enough, Raiden still has an action surge he can take...
Raiden follows up Sashah's firebolt with a nice sword to the gut.
Raiden glances at the bodies, furrows his brow, walks over and examines them more closely. Guys? These are blade cuts. Didn't one of you mention humanoid tracks in the owlbear's? I think they may have been killed by a person. Perhaps we can find someplace to rest and hash it all out.
(FYI DM is on a short vacation)
It's a plan. Knock them out, investigate the cave, run like heck.
Raiden looks to the others, covered in both his blood and monster blood, and...(are we killing them or GTFO-ing?)...looks quite ready to finish these things off.
Raiden moves away from the owlbears and tries not to clank around too much.
Raiden sees that holy light and spends a whole second thinking he woke up in the afterlife... And then the brilliant light is followed by a gallon of blood and a bucket of feathers as Ravvek tears into the owlbear. Raiden rolls out of the way as best he can, taking Big Bertha (the sword) with him.
Gurgle
Raiden withdraws!! Is everyone up and able to do the same? Which way should we head?
DM says -34, so that leaves 10HP left.
I've been quite flakey this week, just clean didn't notice those were 20's. Epic-level flakey, lol. I did purposely choose to not reroll the 2; I was not feeling that lucky again. So, . Do I reroll that 1?
Raiden groans after having run around to the others, only to see we're all going right back at it.
(Woo hoo!)
Raiden continues what he was doing after last round, withdrawing and moving towards Sashah. He keeps his sword out in case one of the owlbears comes after him. Sashah, can you cast that sleep again on the bears near Anton? He looks pretty bad off.
Now that Origins is over and done...Raiden withdraws and will beat a hasty retreat after Sashah.
But they could be in that cave... but he realizes Rav is so right.
Raiden is happy the bad news owlbears were distracted. Ouch. OK now, using the greatsword for real this time, Raiden slices from right to left (so bear on the right first).
Realizing he can't take too many owlbear slashes, bonus action to use second wind. Seriously??
Sorry about confusing my weapons. I had originally gone with the sword but then remembered I had written that I was already holding the hammer, so logically I would have used that. Thanks. Also I updated the title of the map; good old Google sharing. Hope that was okay!
Raiden steps up to the nearest owlbear, cursing its fowl stench (ha). with the hammer, . If he's still up, smash him again on the back swing . If by some miracle that 9 hit, rerolling that 1 damage .
