Round 1, FIGHT!
Peat channels the gods to do their work!
Time to learn! Vloriaks rise from the sinful souls of those whose acts of sabotage resulted in despair and terror, and they delight in the destruction of mortal artifice. Often called despoiler demons, vloriaks were the followers of Xar-Azmak. Their numbers have dwindled over the eons since the Lord of Rust’s death; those that exist now are scattered throughout the Abyss. Their chitinous bodies and faceted eyes give them an insectile appearance.
Jacen throws magic at the demon. It hurts, but its still standing.
The demon runs to the cultist screaming, “Who are you to think yourself worthy of a dead demon’s notice? Nothing but a stain, mortal! It then licks him as blood and rust spread across his armor and body. it then licks the rust and restores all the damage it took.
Round 1, FIGHT!
Thalassa helps the team, but misses the attack on the demon. Caleb follows that up with a gust of cutting wind. It hurts the demon who turns to you all, and cuts down a zombie.
You head to the shopkeeper. Shes elated to see you all and shocked at the woman you bring in toe.
Otherwise you can rest up, eat up, and be fully ready for another jaunt int the dungeon picking right up where you last left.
I like it! You crush the door and find....This cramped room is littered with debris, with the broken remains of ancient furniture scattered throughout. A nest of smaller splinters covered with a heavy traveling cloak forms a makeshift bed near the east wall. And and old friend! Ordwi is here, beaten, battered, but not broken. As you enter the room she recoils for a second and then smiles and says, Thank Cayden Cailean, you have returned! If you had been a few more days, I might have died. I dont know much and I have not symbol to my god, but I will help how I can. What do you do?
round 4, fight!
Peat runs up and helps Kazmuk with the metal man. He hits hard and fast. one swing lands with a solid clank doing decent damage. Thalassa administers healing to Kazmuk getting the dwarf back into the fight. A newly revitalized Kazmuk smacks the metal man until it stops moving. We're out of combat as the metal wizard collapses to the ground. What do you do next?
You leave the froggy woman to her bath and head back to the main room. You carefully prepare to open the north door. This chamber is covered with shelves on nearly every wall. Several crates and some barrels sit on the floor. You search the room and find... a decaying leather pouch that contains 45 cp and a single platinum coin, dozens of empty potion
Search the south door your find....These modest chambers contain a small dusty mattress, a chest of drawers, and a writing desk. Standing upon the
Also, LEVEL UP! You are now level three! Also gain a heropoint.
The frog woman hands out badges to anywho take them. As you put them on you feel.... nothing special. The frog woman turns to you and says in her strange ribbiting voice, We knew there was a church here, but when we got here they stopped worshiping the god. We are not sure why they stopped, but they did. We took what we could from where we could, but when they challenged us, we walled of where we could and collected our goods. Beyond that, we know is a demon. Our Lady has not told us to fight them, so we leave them be. They have left us be as well.
You don't hear anything at this door and when you open it you find... more doors! Looking and listening at those you hear... nothing! These chambers contain a few bedrolls laid out atop a flimsy mattress of dry grass. Odds are the people who live here are somewhere else. Looking in these rooms your find 17 gp worth of ancient coins and curiosities—
Where to next?
Right now all you know is that there is something CRAZY happening with this group of war god worshipers. They have all switched to some demon who is all about decay and rust. This person was here and noted that some seriously bad stuff is happening and maybe that elder is dead. You may have time, but something is up.
Peat thinks about this place. He realizes this is a library and is rebuilt. its a probably hiding half the room, and that redbook on the shelf looks like its tied to this hidden room. Cain just gets mad and dashes the woman to pieces with one hit. the place is quite now. What do you all want to do? HERO POINT! We've cleared some rooms, time for a hero point!
Round 1, FIGHT!
Thalassa sees the man and channels pure anger and magic to tear this man appart. She crits him and just one two punches him to death! Jacen sees the horror and throws force right at it! It hits hard and the horror screams in some language the makes the room darken and your ears itch and feel wrong. Post! Also gain a heropoint. I haven't given one out in a few rooms, so take one!
Chaos Cat opens the door and finds A pair of wide racks stand against the eastern and southern walls in this chamber, each with three segments: left, right, and center. Small divots in the racks hold clusters of ten-foot-long iron rods coated with large splotches of rust. Flaked-off pieces of rust litter the floor. You know the floor is trapped. Do you want to disable to trap? Map updated.
Looking around you find a set of sterling artisan’s tools designed specifically for the delicate work involved in creating talismans as well as a half-finished crafter’s eyepiece under the southern cabinets; its construction is nearly complete and requires 4 days of work and 30 gp worth of components to finish. It’s far enough along that it’s
You also see a wheel and locking mechanism on the north wall controls a trap in the room to the north. You can disable it or trigger it if you like. Looking at the function of the place you can figure out that this place was a workshop and it still is. They are just keeping the holy rust that now covers all the tools here. Where to next?
Round 1, FIGHT!
The cultist snaps up a dagger and throws one at the cat!
Round , FIGHT!
Thalassa throws more water at the culist!
Peat move quietly around and spikes a bolt into the cultist!
and under this combined assault, the one cultist drops to the ground, bloody, wet, and frozen. Its a quite room what happens next?
he thinks for a moment as he holds cup in both hands and looks deep into it No, not that I know of, but I do think people were brought in. You might want to look around the place. If you would like you could ask the sailors for a description and head back in? Can't hurt to take 30 and relook at any bodies.
The man looks at you and says, I'm not sure I can be much help, but Ill try. I think I cought that disease the others have. I also fear that most of his fellow Gorumites are either dead or have turned away to this
Right you've cleared this place. You've found out what happened and where to go next. Time to regroup and plan. AND GAIN A LEVEL! You all can become level 2!
The man grunts at the psychic but turns to face the catfolk... You think I went south? I haven't left... I REMAINED FAITHFUL!....the others they didn't....“A week ago, a Thassilonian man named Meitremar arrived, claiming to be a merchant from Xin-Edasseril. He spoke with Lord Ragnulf for an entire night. When they emerged at dawn, they gathered us all in the worship hall and spoke of bringing war to Osprey Cove, subjugating all other settlements on Chakikoth Isle, and forging an alliance with Xin-Edasseril And with that he spits into the fire and it flares up. You can tell he now hates the man he once followed.
What other questions do you have for him?
The men react to your coming close, but as you don't move to harm them, they let you treat them. Bad things have happened to them...
You can also tell they are infected with something. Possibly the same thing that befell the goat outside in the stable. It's a magic illness causing them to rust. It's honestly the damnedest thing! Quite literally as you believe it may have come from the realm of demons.
thank you!
And with that, everyone gets a hero point! And then you carefully open the next room and... HALLWAY! there is nothing to see...Moving to the other room on the second floor, Four sets of triple bunk beds mark this room as a barracks, but they’ve been heavily damaged, with mattress feathers tossed everywhere. Footlockers sit on the floor between
Post your actions and change your locations as decided!
As you look around the town out the door for an inn, she says Figured we’d get here sooner or later. One of these days, someone’ll have to build a proper inn here in town, but in the meantime... Inn the meantime... get it? Ummm... Yeah. I can help you out. Elsie ushers you to the largest table, telling them she’ll bring out dinner momentarily before bustling into the back room. She returns a few moments later with a tray of individual and delicious (but cold) grouse pies. During this time, she says, So as you can see, we dont get many visitors, so what brings you here? She doesn’t charge for the meal, but asks for a payment of 5 sp per night the PCs wish to sleep on her floor.
Looking over the group the woman come to a gradual conclusion, mmm maybe you all can be useful....You aint from around here, and I dont want anything too crazy to hit my friends here. Would you be willing to head to Stonehome and find out what happened to the our captain? She's been taken there and we have no work on what happening. I'm the acting captain, but we want to find our actual captain. Ill pay and I have a secret way in. What say you?
You can easily get her across and get your rope back. The woman responds. Sorry for the confusion, and just call me Ordwi. I just go where I am called. I've been there before and I want to see the answers to what is happening as much as anyone else. We will get through this together, and hopefully I can open a few doors that might otherwise be closed! The adventure calls, that and I brought some ale for the road! As you begin to walk, you all look around as you go....
Kazmuk gets mad, runs up, and INSTANTLY crushes the reefclaw. It slumps into a small pile of meat and you see a small goblinish creature gulp and jump into the surf and run away from this whole mess. The rowboat next to the small monster has a small stash of
Two weatherworn stone statues stand on either side of a fifteen-foot-wide rift in the shore, extending their arms toward one another. A partially completed, partially eroded old stone bridge doesn’t quite cross the gulf. In the water fifteen feet below, the surf crashes on a worn wedge of stone that might have at one time been part of the bridge.
An unusual surprise came to Osprey Cove the morning after the storm. On an early dawn walk to appraise the storm damage, Elder Johedia found a dying man sprawled at the edge of town. Suffering from exposure, two infected crossbow bolt wounds, and a strange sickness that left rust-red splotches all over his body, the man gasped out an unsettling warning before he died: Iron Harbor... rust... ship... all dead... before... too late...
You're in!
