## **1/30/2023 - PDK VS MIXED RESULTS, The Fight for Shadow**

4 am, Outskirts of Minsk in the Treeline: Running from Minsk as the PDK are hunting Shadow under the guise of turning over Dutch to them (Dutch is dead in the inn room of the Traveling Tankern) and only just having Enton, Shadow, and Thrud returned from a magical mind journey to the "Social Group".

Tasi has taken first watch as the party settles under the trees for the night, having casted Leomund's Tiny Hut, when three hours into the watch:

A hidden PDK Knight, Crossbowman 1 from the dark shadows of the woods, throws a magical flaming bird onto the dome of the Hut and liquid runs down the dome, dispelling the magical protection. Tasi jumps up from her spot as watch, rousing everyone with speech and Saejin by hand, before palming a rod of amber: Casts Lightning Bolt on Crossbowman 1. The tree and the grasses in which the Crossbowman 1 hides catches fire, lighting up the area.

SURPRISE ROUND (Minus Tasi and Thrud). Order: Tasi, Shadow, Inquisitor, Construct, Crossbowman 1, Enton, Saejin, Crossbowman 2, Thrud, Crossbowman 3

Inquisitor yells to the party as they walk out of the treeline into the encampment, "Surrender Shadow to us and no one needs to get hurt!"

Tasi responds, "Come get him yourselves!" The party is gathering themselves in the sudden encounter. Thrud rising from his bedroll in rage, lightning sparking out around him.

Inquisitor grimaces, "If it must be that way, then it must." Charges Tasi, rapidly slicing into her three times causing 26 points of piercing damage with 57 points of Necromantic damage that sucks deep within (reducing her Hit point max by 57 points). She feels the piercing blade strike her heart and a burst of blinding light pushes the blade out of her chest and gathers some of her lost blood back. Tasi straightens from near death (Contigency + Death Ward = Hp 1/15)

Construct thuds into the open, opens its jaws, sprays a viscous green energy/gas onto Enton. Enton resists the effects.

Another 2 Crossbowman shoot from the treeline, causing no damage.

Thrud rushes the Inquisitor with two swings of his axe, causing 27 points of slashing damage and 10 points of Lightning damage, knocking the Inquisitor prone and pinned inbetween Thrud and Tasi.

Tasi casts Polymorph on herself to transform into a Giant Crocodile, a huge beast.

Shadow climbs from his sleeping bag, circles the fallen the Inquisitor, stabs out with King's Knife. Inquisitor resists the spell Reduce/Enlarge. Shadow damages the Inquisitor heavily.

Inquisitor moves from Saejin, she strikes out with a Pimp Hand for her OPP ATK, Misses.

Inquisitor crowds into Shadow with a series of six strikes, landing four of them. Deals 41 points of piercing damage with 59 points of Necromantic damage that sucks from deep within (reducing his Hit point max by 59 points). --- Recon added a totally of 28 points of piercing damage and 19 Necromantic damage (Already added to the totally above)

Golem Construct presses into Thrud and Saejin, throws a heavy punch into Thrud for 31 points of bludgeoning damage and 11 points of Necromantic damage (does not have the power to reduce Hit point Max)

Crossbowman 1 moves to the side of a large rock, shoots twice at Shadow and deals 10 points of piercing damage. Inspires the Inquisitor "You got this!" and spuns (A Person) into another swing at Shadow, Misses.

Enton nimbly jumps from the floor, shuffling backwards towards the cliff/treeline. Shoots at the Inquisitor three times while activating Fighting Spirit, deals 38 points of piercing damage. Action Surges and shoots at the Inquisitor another three times, dealing another 28 points of piercing damage.

Saejin surges to her feet, casts Aura of Life (30 ft radius, Resistance to Necromantic energy, Cant have their Hit point Max reduced, and receives +1 Hp each turn spent in the Aura of Life). Bonus Action, Mantle of Majesty which allows her to cast Command without spell slot. Commands the Golem Construct to Grovel, FAILS the Save (Which will cause the Construct to fall prone and end its turn). She dashes away from the Construct.

Golem Construct gets an OPP Atk against Saejin, CRIT, dealing 34 points of Bludgeoning damage with 9 points of Necromantic damage. She succeeds against all her Con Saves to keep spells up.

Crossbowman 2 crowds into Tasi, yet shoots twice at Saejin, dealing 16 points of piercing damage and inspires Inquisitor. Saejin fails Con save, loses Aura of Life.

## 2/6/2023 - PDK VS Mixed Results (Part Two)

Crossbowman 3 moves out of cove of his rock and into the open, shoots at Enton twice, hits once for 8 points of piercing damage. BA inspires with a shout of "For Corvo!" and then shoots twice more for 6 points of piercing damage. Action surges to allow the Inquisitor to strike out at Shadow for 25 points of Necromantic damage, falling the cat warrior.

Shadow feels the blade of the Inquisitor strike true, blood flowing from his mouth in large gushes and so he clenches his eyes tight, drawing from deep within. The world slows, blinks and Shadow shifts into a different time, blood sucked back inside his body with a shiver. Wounds close before the parties eyes and he stands as proud as before, wounded but thriving. (Reversed Time for 6 secs, negating the round of damage to him)

Tasi lunges down with her Giant Maw at the Inquisitor, sinks her teeth into the flesh of his hip (Inquisitor fails against STR Save for grapple/restrain) dealing a deadly 29 points of piercing damage. Then with a quick lash of her tail, slams into Crossbowman 1 for 19 points of bludgeoning damage (Crossbowman 1 succeeds against the STR Save and is not knocked prone).

Shadow shouts out loud with a snarl, "You idiots need to fight harder!", inspiring health into the party for 13 points of HP and himself gaining 20 HP. With the boost he flurries a series of strikes against the Inquisitor, dealing 23 magical slashing damage, and looks up to the looming form of Tasi (Action Surge to grant another attack action) "Go bite him, you stupid lizard!".

Tasi crunches into the hip bone of the Inquisitor for another 20 points of piercing damage, tossing him back and forward in the air.

The Inquisitor screams, slashes out towards Shadow (at disadvantage for being restrained by Tasi) for 9 points of slashing damage, and a total of 50 points of Necromantic damage. Shadow falls to the blows while gargling on his own blood, sword still gripped tight in unconsciousness. The Inquisitor bellows to the sky in victory and determination, "In the name of Corvo, we will survive the day!" (Heals and inspires the Crossbowman 1)

The Golem Construct creaks to its knees, giant mitts shuffling in the gravel under the awe and magical prowess of Saejin. (Under the effect of Command, "Grovel" and is considered prone).
