Where’s the old head of the Academe? Did he get away?
Sadlark begins working on their tale, weaving in as much of King Odric and Morkeleb and the rest of the Upturned Cup to give it a sense if continuity. Their adventures might not have been quite as epic, but they’re another chapter in Korvosa’s histories.
Sadlark's Fellowship of the Upturned Cup Lore (T): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
The way you seamlessly wove in old PCs was my favorite part of the module — thank you!

Sadlark tries to understand what's happening — is the ghost going to possess another body?
I actually have Ghost Lore, +19

Sadlark continues the dirge, wondering how long this epic will take to compose.
He moves toward Esme and tries to Aid her in her escape, skipping his arm across to lever her off with skill not strength.

Pathetic. Shorshen would be ashamed. Sadlark shakes his head, more than a little part of him entranced by the gothic beauty and horror of vampires and runelords.

Sadlark continues hi Dirge.

Sadlark weathers the hurt, and moves into the room with a wry smile. Is that Ileosa being reconstituted!? Someone else notable?
If it isn't Toff Ornelos , former head of Academy. Finally found, after missing all these years since Morkeleb the Mighty returned to the Academy. You were always reclusive; soon, all Korvosa will know you're a vile traitor too!
He turns to the vampiress and shakes his head. Aliriel, you've sacrificed the gift of eternal beauty at the feet of a withered old academic. Sorshen would cast you aside like trash.
His muse sings to him of schoolboys crushed under the heel of cruel academy masters:
But to go to school in a summer morn, -
He makes sure to target the old man with the dirge of doom as an enemy, giving an emotive taste of dismal days spent locked away in a dismal classroom while the sun shines outside.
Stride, Recall Knowledge, Dirge of Doom

Sadlark posted but was going to follow up with his turn based on anything he found out
Sadlark tries to convey what he hears, weaving verse about hidden disagreements behind closed doors into his performance. Doublespeak; DC 34
There's an argument on the other side of the northern doors. It's too faint to make out the words over battle, but it's a female voice and a booming male voice.
He then Performs, continuing to Inspire, devises a stratagem against the Black, and fires!.

Sadlark steps closer. He hasn't been able to recognize all the cityscapes but he can't help but wonder if it's ancient Thassilon.
"You seem uneasy, mistress. We've willingly given ourselves to beautiful Sorshen, and have been fully consumed. This is not a lie; we were consumed by the statues willingly and pulled down here.

While Esme works Sadlark will investigate the room in full. Please bot any checks needed using macros on my profile
He'll then gather everyone and use Veil to disguise everyone as strigoi. Of course, he makes himself looks like a progenitor.

Sadlark quickly moves away and then throws more debris at the creature with this mind, too hurried to call upon his muse.
Telekinetic Projectile vs Black: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
B: 6d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 5, 3, 3) + 4 = 18

Vampire dead, Sadlark switches to an inspiring verse.
Inspire Courage.
He puts two fingers to his temple and uses the power of his occult mind to fling a piece of rubble at the horror from beyond the stars:
Telekinetic Projectile, IC: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
B: 6d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 1, 2, 2) + 4 + 1 = 24
Maybe it has ooze AC…

Sadlark tries desperately to recall knowledge about bloody oozes.
He then devises a stratagem:
1d20 ⇒ 2
Grumbling to himself he continues his dirge of doom.

Ref (E): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28 I will take it.
Sadlark gasps in pain as his body withers. He glances to Esme, to see if she has a heal spell ready for fallen friends.
If Esme is healing Dhougal: Sadlark performs a dirge of doom, and then studies his target
DaS: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Failing to see an opening he casts Shield.
If Esme is NOT healing: Sadlark moves alongside Black dhougal, produces a lesser healing potions, and administers it.
Healing: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 = 7
It's not much, but hopefully Dhougal can run away or heal himself more now that he's conscious.

Oh but we're here to cross you.
Kicking the door.

Quote:
Wide steps descend from the eastern half of the room into the larger western half, where a massive pillar of greenish-gray stone supports the ceiling above. What appears to be an empty door frame leading to nothing has been carved into the base of the pillar’s eastern face. Sadlark inspects the door and looks inside if he finds no traps.

Sadlark tries to recall knowledge about what he sees. Head vamp still lead, if it matters He looks to the religious-minded in the group as well.

Ref (E), Lead: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 21 + 2 = 34 35 damage
Sadlark grits his teeth as he weathers the storm of negativity and ice.
The Bardvistigator then performs a Dirge of Doom, keeping his enemies debuffed. He takes aim at the rune strigoi, hoping to hurt him:
DaS, Free Action v Lead: 1d20 ⇒ 13
+1 Striking Shortbow, DaS vs Frightened 1 AC: 13 + 22 = 35
P: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 2 = 11
Precision: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5) = 9
He then asks his muse to Guide him should he need to make another save.
DaS (free), Dirge of Doom, Strike, Guidance

Sadlark takes aim at his target…
DaS: 1d20 ⇒ 2 Free action
Failing to find a discernable opening he punks an arrow at the vampire.
Plunk!: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25
Then he flings newly-exposed rubble at the beleaguered living rune:
Telekinetic Projectile vs Frightened: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 20 - 5 = 31
B/: 6d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 1, 5, 3) + 4 = 26
Dirge lingering round 2 or 3 of 3 (feels like we're on round 3, not 2).

Aww thanks!
Sadlark Points out the wall, pantomiming frantically so his friends can see through the blade barrier. This is big trouble.

Sadlark begs his muse for inspiration and Guidance. He closes his eyes and sings. "Let me listen to me and not to them."
He tries to hear just how and why the acoustics are different.
Sadlark's Performance (M), Guidance: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 22 + 1 = 34
Or Seek at +20 with a +2 circumstance if it applies as his Lead. I thought a performance check might be appropriate based on the GM's description of changing acoustics.
Guidance + Seek = 2 actions. Sadlark will Point out anything he finds (if applicable), or seek/perform again if he finds nothing. Barring anything to Point Out with his final action, he will Guidance Crowley.

Sadlark will use Suspect of Opportunity on the Strigoi to make it his second lead. +2 on the RK check for +15 total

Sadlark recoils in horror as the vampire appears.
Fort (E): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Sadlark performs a Dirge of Doom! Once again the frightening tune echoes throughout the chamber. using second and last focus
Lingering Composition Perform Check (DC 30), Greater Persona Mask: 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 22 + 2 = 38 Lingers 3 rounds
The rune is a problem. Sadlark sees a opening and pins iot with an arrow.
+1 Striking Shortbow: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
P: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 = 14
Precision: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) = 6
Strike it near the arrow, Napakan!
The plans you make include your allies as well as yourself. When you hit a creature with an attack on which you substituted your attack roll due to Devising a Stratagem, designate one ally. The creature you hit is flat-footed to that ally on the next attack the designated ally makes against that creature before the start of your next turn.
He then tries to recall knowledge about the Strigoi When Recall Knowledge with untrained skills, use Proficiency bonus equal to his own level instead of +0. So +12 religion (or +12 Strigoi lore if feeling generous :p)
