## Firefinger

8:02 PM] DM: It's after dark on the 23rd of Flamerule, Day 30 after the Death Curse started. You're on the first level of Firefinger, 60' in the air, looking up a stone chimney that Briar fell down.

[8:02 PM] Kelania: "Alright, Briar, out of the way. My turn."

[8:03 PM] Kelania: ((could I do acrobatics to climb this thing?))

[8:03 PM] Radzwe: ((What if we make a big baloon type thing and then light a fire at the bottom of the chimney))

[8:04 PM] DM: It is a Strength (Athletics) check.

[8:04 PM] Kelania: ((mkay))

[8:04 PM] Kelania: ((13))

[8:05 PM] DM: Kelania manages to scamper up into the chimney. There's an empty cavern at the top with a passage leading south.

[8:05 PM] Kelania: Kelania lowers a rope down.

[8:06 PM] Radzwe: ((anyone have climbing supplis?))

[8:06 PM] Kelania: "Once again, I save the day" she says as she leans against the wall and smugly smiles.

[8:06 PM] Briar: "Hey, good job!" She starts climbing up.

[8:06 PM] Splint: ((how high is the chimney?))

[8:07 PM] DM: With a rope, there's no trouble for the rest of you to climb up.... but the rope only goes halfway.

[8:07 PM] DM: It's 100 feet higher up than the first level.

[8:07 PM] Kelania: "Does that go far enough?" she calls down the shaft

[8:07 PM] Briar: "...Huh. No."

[8:08 PM] Kelania: Kelania ties a second rope to the first, and lowers that down

[8:08 PM] Briar: (always good to have two ropes on hand)

[8:08 PM] Kelania: ((oh whoops, do I only have one?))

[8:08 PM] Kelania: ((yes, lmao))

[8:08 PM] Briar: (darn.)

[8:08 PM] Kelania: ((misread weight as number))

[8:09 PM] Briar: Briar takes her own rope and attempts again to climb the rest of the way to Kelania's, then go up that and tie hers to it once she's up.

[8:09 PM] Kelania: Kelania futilely tries to lower her body and the rope further down.

[8:09 PM] DM: Give me a roll, Briar.

[8:09 PM] Briar: (16)

[8:09 PM] DM: Easy-peasy and the rope is tied and you can all make your way up without further issue.

[8:09 PM] Briar: "Teamwork!"

[8:10 PM] DM: Darvin does have to put out his torch to climb, though, cause he needs both hands.

[8:10 PM] Kelania: Kelania reaches up for a high five.

[8:10 PM] Briar: "Ooh, I know this one!" She returns the high-five.

[8:10 PM] Kelania: "You sure do!"

[8:11 PM] Kelania: "How's it coming, slowpokes?"

[8:11 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe climbs up

[8:12 PM] DM: Who doesn't have darkvision?

[8:12 PM] Briar: Briar re-lights a torch for Darvin once he gets to the top.

[8:12 PM] Briar: (no darkvision here)

[8:13 PM] Kelania: ((um, I don't))

[8:13 PM] DM: Ok! You have light again.

[8:13 PM] Kelania: "Everyone up?"

[8:13 PM] DM: So you've got a narrow passage to the south that continues into a wider, but still small room.

[8:14 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe sneaks to peek at the new room

[8:14 PM] Radzwe: ((stealth 12))

[8:14 PM] DM: It's a small, 10x10 room with a narrow passage leading to the east.

[8:15 PM] Kelania: Kelania follows Radzwe close behind

[8:15 PM] Radzwe: radzwe sneaks ahead to the east

[8:16 PM] DM: You come to a sort of T... where to the north you can see a dessicated corpse, the glint of gold and gems seen through tattered clothing and a rotting purse... but glancing upwards, you also see several stirges sleeping. The tunnel also heads south, where you can see an opening to the outside.

[8:17 PM] Splint: ((how many stirges exactly?))

[8:18 PM] DM: Are you counting? At least half a dozen.

[8:19 PM] Splint: "Can we get some eyes down south, to see if any pterafolk are nearby?"

[8:19 PM] Radzwe: ((wish we had a fireball or at least a word of radiance))

[8:20 PM] Kelania: Kelania peers down the southern corridor, looking for hostiles.

[8:20 PM] DM: Looks open, as far as you can see without moving down it.

[8:20 PM] Kelania: "Looks clear."

[8:20 PM] Kelania: "The first thing we did on this trip was splat some stirges, I'm sure we could take these..."

[8:20 PM] Briar: "They're just big bugs."

[8:21 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe says, "Lets stealth in and sneak attack"

[8:21 PM] Splint: "The loot might be worth it."

[8:21 PM] Kelania: "Agreed"

[8:21 PM] DM: It's worth noting that none of you small folk will be able to melee attack the ones on the ceiling.

[8:21 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe points out, "Not having stirges at our back at a later time is worth it"

[8:22 PM] Splint: "And that too of course."

[8:22 PM] Radzwe: ((Sizism!))

[8:22 PM] Kelania: Kelania draws two daggers, and says, "Okay, watch this."

[8:22 PM] Splint: ((wait))

[8:22 PM] Kelania: ((we can enter the room without waking them, right?))

[8:23 PM] DM: I don't know, can you?

[8:23 PM] Kelania: ((don't worry I won't roll anything before we agree, lol))

[8:23 PM] Kelania: ((lol))

[8:23 PM] Splint: ((is the map on roll20 up to date?))

[8:24 PM] Kelania: ((I can probably take two out in one turn by throwing two daggers))

[8:24 PM] DM: Is everyone moving up?

[8:24 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe moves up and readies a dart sneakily

[8:25 PM] Splint: ((would we all have to make a stealth check to enter the room w/o waking the stirges?))

[8:25 PM] DM: If that was your intent, then anyone entering would, yes.

[8:25 PM] Briar: Briar will move up a little, but not engage in any possible sneak-attack. If need be she'll just run in after the fighting starts.

[8:25 PM] Splint: ((i'll cast guidance on Briar))

[8:26 PM] Splint: Splint cautiously follows the party.

[8:26 PM] Kelania: ((23 stealth))

[8:26 PM] DM: Kel's moving in? To where?

[8:26 PM] Kelania: as far in, to the back of the room

[8:27 PM] Radzwe: ((17))

[8:28 PM] DM: Radzwe's moving in too?

[8:28 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe moves up and readies a dart sneakily

[8:29 PM] Splint: Splint asks Darvin and Azaka to move in  before him and get into a good firing position.

[8:29 PM] DM: As Radzwe crosses the threshold, the stirges start to stir. I'll let you two get an attack off, then it's initiative time.

[8:30 PM] Radzwe: ((27a,10d))

[8:30 PM] DM: On which?

[8:30 PM] Splint: ((that was a crit))

[8:30 PM] Radzwe: ((my roll20 map isn't working))

[8:30 PM] Kelania: (18a 6d)

[8:30 PM] Kelania: On the one directly north of Kel

[8:31 PM] Kelania: (25a 3d)

[8:31 PM] Radzwe: ((a middle one))

[8:31 PM] Kelania: on the one next to that one

[8:31 PM] DM: Two down... but now initiative time for everyone else.

[8:32 PM] Radzwe: ((24))

[8:32 PM] Splint: ((15))

[8:32 PM] Kelania: ((9))

[8:32 PM] Briar: ((17))

[8:32 PM] DM: Ok! Radzwe's up again.

[8:33 PM] DM: They're still clinging to the ceiling.

[8:33 PM] Radzwe: ((still out of melee?))

[8:33 PM] DM: For you, yes.

[8:33 PM] Radzwe: ((Can I ready a spear attack for when they get in range?))

[8:33 PM] DM: Sure!

[8:34 PM] Radzwe: ((and then still get my unarmed bonus?))

[8:34 PM] DM: I believe that because it is your reaction, you only get one attack.

[8:34 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe throws another dart at the furthest stirge

[8:35 PM] Radzwe: ((26a,6d))

[8:35 PM] DM: Splat! Move or bonus?

[8:35 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe moves across the room and tries bonus hide

[8:36 PM] Radzwe: ((12))

[8:36 PM] DM: There isn't really anywhere IN the room to hide, but you could in the hall to the west or south.

[8:36 PM] Radzwe: ((I'll just go across the room and wait))

[8:37 PM] DM: Ok. One of the stirges gets to go next.

[8:38 PM] DM: It happens to be the one closest to Radzwe now, so it hits with a 23 and is attached to the goblin. He loses 6 hp in blood loss.

[8:38 PM] DM: On your turn, you can detach the stirge as an action, or attack it. Your choice, but as long as it is attached, it gets free hp drain.

[8:39 PM] DM: Darvin is going to let loose an arrow.  It barely hits, but splatters another bug across the ceiling.

[8:39 PM] DM: @Briar

[8:39 PM] DM: You can reach the ones on the ceiling, but you'll have to move into range.

[8:39 PM] Briar: Briar first pushes politely past Xandala to get a look at the situation.

[8:40 PM] Splint: ((can we get an updated map plz? roll20 not working))

[8:40 PM] Briar: She goes after the stirge attached to Radzwe with her longsword.

[8:40 PM] Briar: (12a, 11d)

[8:41 PM] DM: Radzwe gets a bit skittish and dodges out of the way and you fail to connect.

[8:41 PM] Briar: Briar curses in Sylvan. end turn.

[8:41 PM] DM: @Splint !

[8:42 PM] Radzwe: ((is there an opportunity attack in having a stirge attached to me?))

[8:42 PM] DM: Nope, only if it leaves your range.

[8:42 PM] Splint: ((I'll move to where Briar is))

[8:42 PM] Splint: ((actually, on the spot to her left))

[8:43 PM] DM: Ok.

[8:43 PM] Splint: ((and attack the stirge in front of me with my dagger))

[8:43 PM] DM: It would have to be a ranged attack for you.

[8:43 PM] Splint: ((ok))

[8:45 PM] Splint: ((crit!))

[8:45 PM] Splint: ((so is that max damage?))

[8:45 PM] DM: No, you either roll the dice twice or double the dice, then add the modifiers.

[8:46 PM] Splint: ((so i add the modifier once, or for each roll?)

[8:46 PM] DM: Just once.

[8:46 PM] DM: So a 1d4+3 becomes 2d4+3

[8:48 PM] Splint: ((my dex bonus is a +4, and my proficiencey w/ daggers would give me +2, so wouldnt that be +6?))

8:48 PM] DM: No proficiency on damage and i was just using 3 as an example.

[8:48 PM] Splint: ((ah))

[8:49 PM] Splint: ((ok, so D 10 on the stirge))

[8:49 PM] DM: It splatters and bug guts rain down on Kel.

[8:49 PM] Kelania: "Hey!"

[8:50 PM] Splint: "Bullzeye!"

[8:50 PM] DM: Now the stirges go.

[8:52 PM] DM: One on each of Kel, Splint, Briar, and another for Radzwe. Only the one on Splint hits and attaches itself to him. He takes 5 points of blood loss damage.

[8:52 PM] Splint: "Get him off! Get him off!"

[8:53 PM] DM: @Kelania

[8:53 PM] Kelania: ((how much damage was that?))

[8:53 PM] DM: To Splint? 5. Nobody else took any.

[8:53 PM] Kelania: ((ah, okay))

[8:54 PM] Kelania: Kelania draws her shortsword and leaps at the one on Splint

[8:54 PM] Kelania: ((15a, 9d))

[8:55 PM] DM: Splint gets splattered with his own blood.

[8:55 PM] Kelania: end of turn

[8:55 PM] Splint: "Ack! Good hit!"

[8:55 PM] DM: Azaka will move up, but doesn't want to fire into such a crowded room.

[8:55 PM] DM: @Radzwe ! You have one on you.

[8:56 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe punches the one on him

[8:56 PM] Radzwe: (adv?)

[8:57 PM] DM: For?

[8:57 PM] Radzwe: punching something attached to me

[8:57 PM] DM: No. lol if anything I should be giving you disadvantage, but straight roll is fine.

[8:58 PM] Radzwe: ((11a))

[8:58 PM] Radzwe: bonus attack on same

[8:58 PM] DM: It's stuck in this spot back on your kidney that's just real hard to get.

[8:58 PM] Radzwe: ((14a,7d))

[8:58 PM] DM: So instead, Radzwe just bodyslams himself back into the wall and gets his own blood all over himself when the half-full stirge pops.

[8:59 PM] DM: @Briar

[8:59 PM] DM: There are two left.

[8:59 PM] Briar: (neither are attached to anyone, right?)

[9:00 PM] DM: nope

[9:00 PM] Briar: Briar swings at the stirge to her north.

[9:00 PM] Briar: (sigh. 9a, 10d)

[9:00 PM] DM: Whiff.

[9:00 PM] Briar: (eot)

[9:00 PM] DM: @Splint

[9:00 PM] Briar: "It's my fault for not trying to open a dialogue, really."

[9:01 PM] Splint: ((i'll attack the one Briar tried to hit with another dagger chuck))

[9:02 PM] DM: Do you have at least two?

[9:02 PM] Splint: Yeah

[9:02 PM] DM: Go for it.

[9:02 PM] Splint: ((and the attack is with advantage because of Pack Tactics))

[9:02 PM] DM: Yep, Briar is in melee.

[9:03 PM] Splint: (13a, 6d)

[9:03 PM] DM: The dagger clatters against the ceiling harmlessly.

[9:03 PM] Splint: ((ughh))

[9:04 PM] DM: The last two stirges attach themselves to Splint and Briar. Splint takes 7 hp of blood drain and Briar takes 6.

9:05 PM] Splint: ((i'm at 0...))

[9:05 PM] DM: Ok, Splint is knocked unconscious. The stirge automatically detaches.

[9:05 PM] DM: @Kelania !

[9:06 PM] Kelania: Kel draws a dagger into her off hand, with the shortsword still in the other

[9:06 PM] Splint: ((effing useless AC 18))

[9:06 PM] Kelania: She stabs at the stirge in front of her with the sword

[9:06 PM] Kelania: ((13a 9d))

[9:06 PM] DM: Nope, it flits away from the pointy end.

[9:06 PM] Kelania: and then swipes again with the dagger

[9:07 PM] Kelania: ((22a, 2d))

[9:07 PM] DM: That'll hit, and luckily the stirges only HAVE 2 hp, so you sprinkle Splint's own blood all over him. It does not go into his veins though.

[9:08 PM] Kelania: nice, end of turn

[9:08 PM] Splint: ((phew))

[9:08 PM] DM: @Radzwe There's one on Briar right next to you.

[9:08 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe wonders if the Stirges took out the disagreeable blood out of Splint

[9:08 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe baseball swings the spear at the stirge

[9:09 PM] Radzwe: ((17a,7d))

[9:09 PM] DM: That's enough to kill the last one.

[9:09 PM] DM: End initiative. Splint is still unconscious.

[9:10 PM] Kelania: Kelania picks up her daggers and puts them all back in her bandolier

[9:10 PM] Briar: Briar gives him ten hit points via LAY ON HANDS.

[9:10 PM] Briar: "Up you go, lazybones."

[9:10 PM] Briar: "Also, ew."

[9:10 PM] Splint: "Waggh! Did we win?"

[9:10 PM] Kelania: "Sure did."

[9:11 PM] Kelania: "Who wants to see what the one who didn't has?"

[9:11 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe searches the room for loot

[9:11 PM] Kelania: Kelania points to the body

[9:11 PM] Splint: "Ugghh.." Splint will wipe off the blood on him and collect his daggers.

[9:11 PM] Briar: "Healing potions, hopefully?"

[9:11 PM] DM: Give me an investigation check.

[9:12 PM] Kelania: ((17!))

[9:12 PM] Splint: ((i'll cast healing word on myself))

[9:12 PM] Radzwe: ((14))

[9:12 PM] DM: You manage to find 15 gp, a gold and carnelian ring, and two strange onyx figures with white faces.

[9:12 PM] Splint: ((+5 hp))

[9:13 PM] Kelania: Kelania picks up one of the figures and observes it, turning it over in her hands

[9:15 PM] Splint: ((do we split gold?))

[9:15 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe says. "We can settle up at the end"

[9:17 PM] Kelania: ((What's this body look like?))

[9:17 PM] DM: A female humanoid, dessicated and gaunt after being fed on by the stirges.

[9:19 PM] Briar: "How sad. Ew, also."

[9:20 PM] DM: She has explorer's clothing on, tough and sturdy, but no weapons.

[9:20 PM] Splint: "Poor lady. Let's get a move on, hope the pterafolk didn't catch this scuffle."

[9:20 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe peers out the end of the tunnel

[9:20 PM] Briar: Briar casts cure wounds on herself as the group moves on.

[9:20 PM] Briar: (9hp, back to 20/20)

[9:20 PM] DM: Azaka presses herself against the tunnel wall to let them pass.

[9:21 PM] Briar: "Well, um. Don't look down?"

[9:21 PM] DM: You can see a ledge that wraps around the southern edge of the spire, and goes around the corner both to the east and west. There's a ladder there that goes down, but it broke about halfway down. You're about 160' above ground here and every now and then, you can feel a gust of wind tug at you.

[9:22 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe wonders if we should take precautions on the ledge

[9:23 PM] Briar: "One of you lightweights go scout around, and hold that rope we tied together. I'll hold the other end, and if you fall we'll hope it holds."

9:23 PM] Splint: ((How high up is the next level?))

[9:23 PM] DM: You can't tell from here.

[9:24 PM] DM: The ladder here goes down.

[9:24 PM] Radzwe: RAdzwe says, "The 6 of us should tie ourselves together"

[9:24 PM] Splint: "Alright, who is takin' point?"

[9:25 PM] Briar: "If we're all tied together, I'm worried that me slipping might tug most of you over the edge."

[9:25 PM] Radzwe: "I'll take point"

[9:26 PM] Splint: "Ok. Yeah, maybe we shouldn't tether ourselves."

[9:26 PM] Radzwe: "If you fall, there are 5 other people to hold you"

[9:26 PM] Splint: "One slip could bring us all down."

[9:26 PM] Radzwe: "alright, then everyone but Briar"

[9:26 PM] Kelania: "Sorry Briar."

[9:27 PM] DM: Splint, you notice that Azaka is moving back into the room, away from the edge.

[9:27 PM] Briar: "I'll hold your rope, so I can help if one of you falls. I just won't, er, hold on if I slip."

[9:27 PM] Briar: "Here's hoping, huh?"

[9:27 PM] Splint: "Yo, Zaka, where ya headin'?"

[9:28 PM] DM: She shakes her head. "I will wait here."

[9:28 PM] Briar: "Scared of heights?"

[9:29 PM] Kelania: "This is your job, you can't be getting cold feet?"

[9:29 PM] DM: Azaka: "I am afraid of no beast or man. This... is neither."

[9:30 PM] Splint: ((maybe you can use some pally charm and persuade her))

[9:31 PM] Briar: "Hey, I've been there! You should see me on the water. Tell you what: while they're all tying themselves up, just grab my arm and I'll help you along the ledge. Just watch the rock face and we'll shuffle along."

[9:32 PM] DM: Give me a persuasion check.

[9:32 PM] Briar: (19!)

[9:33 PM] Splint: ((nice!))

[9:33 PM] DM: She still looks very nervous, but takes a deep breath and nods.

[9:33 PM] Briar: "Great! You got us this far; we can help you up a ladder or two." Briar starts to lead Azaka on while the others get rope-tying.

[9:33 PM] Splint: "That's the spirit Zaka, let's bag us some pterafolks!"

[9:34 PM] Splint: ((ledge creeping and slip recovery, would that all be acrobatics?))

[9:34 PM] DM: As Briar and Azaka head out onto the ledge, a gust of wind threatens to knock them off balance. Let me get some Dex saves.

[9:35 PM] Briar: (can i use strength to rely on the weight of myself and my armor to not get blown over?)

[9:36 PM] DM: Not this time. This is to see if you can re-position yourself to use that weight.

[9:36 PM] Briar: (alrighty. nice knowing yall)

[9:36 PM] Briar: (yep! 0.)

[9:36 PM] Kelania: (oh NO)

[9:36 PM] Splint: ((i'll cast guidance on Briar))

[9:36 PM] Briar: (wouldn't help, i'm afraid)

[9:37 PM] DM: Luckily, Azaka was clinging to Briar, and her roll of 19 averages you both out to the DC. She manages to yank Briar back just enough that Briar falls prone on the ledge, just outside the opening of the cave mouth.

[9:37 PM] Kelania: ((phew))

[9:37 PM] Briar: "...You know, that's starting to seem like a pretty rational fear."

[9:38 PM] Kelania: "Please be careful!"

[9:39 PM] Briar: Briar stomps to her feet and pulls out a javelin that she's not sorry to lose, stabbing it into any suitable cracks in the stone with each step to get some better leverage.

[9:39 PM] Kelania: "That was... way to close to things going real bad."

[9:40 PM] Briar: She grits her teeth. "One way or another, gotta get up there."

[9:40 PM] DM: Briar manages to make it around the corner. She can see another ladder on the far edge of the ledge.

[9:40 PM] Kelania: Kel gives a weary smile, "Don't think falling is going to help with that, sister."

[9:40 PM] Briar: She relays this info back to the others from where she is.

[9:41 PM] DM: Azaka, meanwhile, escapes back into the cave.

[9:41 PM] Kelania: Kelania moves around the tower, towards the other ladder.

[9:41 PM] Briar: Once nobody can see her around the corner, Briar goes mostly-prone to scrabble across toward the ladder.

[9:42 PM] DM: Haha, ok. She manages to get to the ladder ok. And Kelania makes it to the corner without issue.

9:42 PM] Splint: ((how high up until the next level?))

[9:42 PM] Briar: She stands, quickly dusting off her shinguards. "Oh, hey, Kel! Nice and easy, huh?"

[9:42 PM] Briar: "Weren't you meant to be tied to a bunch of people, though?"

[9:42 PM] DM: The ladder is 80 feet tall and connects to the ledge above, but it looks to be in pretty good shape. You'll be able to climb it without issue.

[9:43 PM] Kelania: ((I'm assuming they followed along?))

[9:43 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe strolls around the ledge

[9:43 PM] Briar: Firbolg starts climbin'. At a slowish pace, to give the others time to gather up.

[9:43 PM] DM: Kel makes it to the ladder, Radzwe to the corner.

[9:43 PM] Splint: Splint will follow the party to the ladder.

[9:44 PM] Kelania: ((it is 100 feet of rope... it probably is just limp on the ground))

[9:44 PM] DM: Everyone else manages to get to the ladder without too much issue, Darvin bringing up the rear. Azaka does not follow.

[9:44 PM] Kelania: ((lol))

[9:44 PM] Briar: "Did we lose our guide? I might've scared her off, what with the nearly-dying."

[9:45 PM] Splint: "I don't blame her at this point gulp"

[9:45 PM] DM: Briar, when you get to the top of the ladder, you can see a tunnel heading east into the spire. It looks like there's light coming from somewhere within.

[9:45 PM] Kelania: "Frankly, I'm not interested in making my way back across this deadly ledge to give her another pep talk."

[9:45 PM] Briar: "You know, at some point we have to go down all these rickety ladders."

[9:45 PM] Radzwe: "Down is easy"

[9:46 PM] Briar: Briar attempts stealth as she creeps into the tunnel entrance.

[9:46 PM] Kelania: Kelania also climbs behind

[9:46 PM] Briar: ((9! to be expected honestly))

[9:47 PM] DM: Well, also Briar is pretty blind without Darvin's light, so she creeps up, Kelania coming up behind. She can hear... a scraping sound? And soft breathing.

[9:47 PM] Briar: She can't think of many breathing things that she wants to go after alone, so Briar waits until she can hear some more people successfully ascend the ladder.

[9:48 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe moves around everyone and sneaks a look into the room with unspoiled darkvisiion"

[9:49 PM] DM: Give me a stealth check, Radzwe.

[9:49 PM] Radzwe: ((10))

[9:49 PM] Splint: ((no!))

[9:49 PM] Splint: ((was gonna cast guidance))

[9:50 PM] DM: As Radzwe peeks around to see an old, wrinkled pterafolk carving a bone into some sort of totem, it turns its head at him sharply and lets out a startled SQUAWK! And now we're back in initiative. It will take one round for Splint to finish climbing up and two for Darvin.

[9:51 PM] Briar: (same order, or are you going to clear it?)

[9:51 PM] Radzwe: ((20))

[9:51 PM] Briar: (15)

[9:51 PM] Splint: ((19))

[9:52 PM] Kelania: ((11))

[9:52 PM] DM: Ok! Radzwe!

[9:53 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe moves with grace as he spins and slams the spear 2 handed in the the crone

[9:53 PM] Radzwe: ((Nat 1))

[9:54 PM] DM: Not so much grace. He kind of slips on the way. Bonus attack?

[9:54 PM] Radzwe: and then punches her in the face

[9:54 PM] Radzwe: ((18a,8d))

[9:54 PM] DM: That will definitely hit!

[9:55 PM] DM: Darvin gets a little closer to the top of the ladder. Splint manages to reach the top, but can't really see anything yet. Does he want to do anything at the top of the ladder?

[9:56 PM] DM: @Splint ?

[9:57 PM] Splint: ((I'll cast Shield of Faith on Rad, +2 ac))

[9:57 PM] Splint: ((oh, can't see him can i?))

[9:57 PM] DM: You can see him.

[9:57 PM] Splint: ((ok, SoF cast))

[9:57 PM] Splint: ((eot))

[9:58 PM] DM: You have darkvision AND he's standing in the light from the campfire.

[9:58 PM] DM: @Briar

[9:58 PM] Briar: (is it possible to attack around this corner?)

9:58 PM] DM: I'd say it's possible, but difficult, so let's say with disadvantage just for funsies.

[9:58 PM] Briar: ("fun")

[9:58 PM] DM: Or rather with cover, so with a bonus to AC, straight roll.

[9:59 PM] Briar: "Oh, neat! A totem! Wonder what the carving is." As she talks, she stabs at the thing with her sword.

[9:59 PM] Briar: (11a, 10d; i think i may be cursed)

[9:59 PM] DM: That would not have hit right in front of her, so nope. It misses.

[9:59 PM] Briar: (eot)

[9:59 PM] DM: @Kelania !

[10:00 PM] Kelania: Kelania dashes under Briar and over Radzwe and then spins, shooting an arrow at the pterafolk

[10:01 PM] Kelania: ((24a, 9d))

[10:01 PM] Kelania: eot

[10:01 PM] DM: The arrow catches it right in the gut and it falls. The other three, however, are getting up after being rudely awakened.

[10:01 PM] DM: One steps forward, the narrow passage making it difficult to really get to most of you, and attacks Radzwe.

[10:02 PM] DM: The bite and first claw miss, but the second claw slashes across Radzwe's chest for 8 slashing damage.

[10:02 PM] Radzwe: ((1hp left))

[10:03 PM] DM: The others can't do anything from where they are. @Radzwe !

[10:03 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe thrusts his spear

[10:03 PM] Radzwe: ((19a,6d))

[10:04 PM] DM: That'll hit! But he's still standing.

[10:04 PM] Radzwe: Then uses a ki point to bonus dodge

[10:04 PM] DM: So you want them to have disadvantage rather than disengaging to move away?

[10:05 PM] Radzwe: ((I thought it was too crowded to disengage, but that would certainly be better, and no ki point))

[10:05 PM] DM: Still a ki point because step of the wind, but you can move back a space.

[10:05 PM] Radzwe: Bonus disengage and back the \*\* up

[10:05 PM] Radzwe: Bonus disengage for goblin

[10:05 PM] DM: Or you can use as much of your movement as you want.

[10:05 PM] DM: Fair!

[10:06 PM] DM: Ok! Radzwe's scrambled to relative safety.

[10:06 PM] DM: Darvin reaches the top with the light, but can't do anything yet.

[10:06 PM] DM: @Splint !

[10:08 PM] Splint: ((I'll move into the space to the left of Kelania and use Channel Divinity on Radzwe))

[10:08 PM] Splint: ((+10 hp))

[10:08 PM] DM: HEALS!

[10:08 PM] DM: Ok, @Briar !

[10:08 PM] Briar: Briar moves in to TANK MODE, I guess. She slashes at a pterafolk.

[10:09 PM] Briar: (16a, 9d)

[10:09 PM] DM: She's suited to the tank role at least. That'll hit and puts another pterafolk down into a not very early grave.

[10:09 PM] Briar: She then uses her hidden step to go invisible.

[10:09 PM] Briar: (eot)

[10:09 PM] Briar: (oh, actually, we'll push in a little first)

[10:10 PM] DM: Ninja. @Kelania !

[10:10 PM] Splint: ((are you just trying to scout?))

[10:10 PM] Kelania: Kelania fires another arrow into the room, at the closest pterafolk

[10:10 PM] Briar: (no, i'm giving them disadvantage to hit me)

[10:10 PM] Kelania: ((18a, 5d))

[10:11 PM] DM: Thunk!

[10:11 PM] DM: The two remaining pterafolk try to move to the opening, but can't, so they flail wildly at open air.

[10:12 PM] DM: At disadvantage, they roll 17, 15, 11, 19, 18, 7, so two claw attacks will hit for 12 total damage.

[10:13 PM] Briar: (jeez. three attacks each)

[10:13 PM] DM: A bite and two claws, yep.

[10:13 PM] Briar: (i'm getting redbrand ruffian flashbacks)

[10:13 PM] DM: But that's their turn. @Radzwe !

[10:13 PM] Radzwe: ((Can I get in range to attack with the crowd in front?))

[10:14 PM] DM: You can move through spaces occupied by friendlies, so you can get to any of the spaces around Briar. The fire space would be a bad idea though. lol

[10:15 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe moves around Briar to a non fire space and thrusts his spear

[10:15 PM] Radzwe: ((10a,13d))

[10:15 PM] Radzwe: and then punches

[10:15 PM] DM: That will, unfortunately, miss.

[10:16 PM] Radzwe: ((16a,7d))

[10:16 PM] DM: That flying elbow is a solid hit, though! A third falls.

[10:16 PM] DM: Darvin moves in, drops the torch at his feet, and misses cause he singed his ankle a bit.

[10:17 PM] DM: @Splint !

[10:17 PM] Splint: ((can i move to the space to the right of briar?))

[10:18 PM] DM: Yep.

[10:18 PM] Splint: ((Ok, I'll move there and chuck a dagger w/ advantage))

[10:19 PM] Splint: ((22a, 6d))

[10:20 PM] DM: A solid hit!

[10:20 PM] Splint: "Take that, longface!"

[10:20 PM] DM: @Briar ! Let's see if you can finish the last sleepy, old pterafolk off.

[10:20 PM] Briar: That's a big ask, considering how she's been doing so far. But Briar gives it a swing.

[10:21 PM] Briar: (21, 9d)

[10:21 PM] Splint: ((bound to roll well eventually lol))

[10:22 PM] DM: With a clean flash as she turns visible again, the last pterafolk falls.

[10:22 PM] DM: End initiative.

[10:22 PM] Briar: "That one's for ... Azaka, I guess? I'm still not completely sure what the dynamic there is." She pulls her sword free and casts cure wounds on herself.

[10:22 PM] Briar: (11 healing)

[10:22 PM] Splint: "Poor bastards, never even knew what hit em'!"

[10:23 PM] Briar: "They're vicious, but they go down easy enough."

[10:23 PM] Splint: ((can i inspect the room for valuables?))

[10:23 PM] Briar: Briar goes to examine the totem that was being carved.

[10:23 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe searches for loot too

[10:23 PM] Radzwe: ((Perception or investigation?))

[10:24 PM] DM: Investigation.

[10:24 PM] Splint: ((perception for me))

[10:24 PM] Splint: ((oh nvm))

[10:24 PM] Kelania: ((8))

[10:24 PM] Radzwe: ((18))

[10:24 PM] Splint: ((2))

[10:24 PM] DM: You find a couple old bits of what was probably food and some bones, but nothing of real value.

[10:25 PM] DM: Briar, give me... an intelligence check plus proficiency modifier.

[10:25 PM] Briar: (15)

[10:26 PM] DM: You figure this totem's probably got some sort of religious aspect to it? But it's really crude.

[10:26 PM] Briar: She tucks it away in her pack.

[10:26 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe listens for anyone around the corner

[10:27 PM] Radzwe: ((18))

[10:27 PM] DM: You don't even need to roll a check to know you hear something coming from deeper inside, though you can't quite place what it is.

[10:27 PM] Radzwe: ((Moving closer or just making noise?))

[10:27 PM] Briar: "Are we still trying to be stealthy? That wasn't exactly a quiet fight."

[10:28 PM] Radzwe: "A B S, Always be stealthy"

[10:28 PM] DM: Quiet noises.

[10:28 PM] Briar: "...Okay."

[10:28 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe sneaks ahead to check things out

[10:28 PM] Splint: "Let's hope their friends didn't hear that ruckus."

[10:29 PM] Splint: ((i'll cast guidance on Radzwe))

[10:30 PM] DM: As Radzwe comes around the corner, he sees a tall, feathered bird-person with his beak, wrists, and ankles bound by rope and tethered to the wall. His eyes widen and he makes muffled sounds.

[10:30 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe tries to calm the birdman

[10:30 PM] Radzwe: and checks for anything hostile in the room

[10:31 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe whispers, "Is there anyone else here?"

[10:31 PM] DM: You see nothing else in the room, though there is another chimney that goes up through the ceiling.

[10:31 PM] DM: The aaracocra tilts his head.

[10:32 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe examines how to to cut the birdman free

[10:32 PM] Radzwe: starting with his mouth

[10:32 PM] DM: They're just ropes. Any dagger or knife would do it.

[10:32 PM] Kelania: Kelania whispers around the corner, "you still alive there Radzwe?"

[10:33 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe whispers back, "Nope, better come save me"

[10:33 PM] Kelania: Kelania walks around the corner and observes the scene, "Whoa, what's going on back here?"

[10:33 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe starts cutting the birdman free

[10:34 PM] Splint: Splint will follow into the other room.

[10:34 PM] DM: Once his beak is free, he makes soft whistling sounds and squawks like it's his version of whispering.

[10:34 PM] Briar: Briar lights a torch so that she can actually SEE the scene. "First thing when we get back, I'm buying a lantern."

[10:34 PM] Splint: Right after he takes his dagger.

[10:34 PM] DM: Darvin's got his torch again.

[10:34 PM] Briar: (hooray darvin)

[10:34 PM] Briar: (the mobile light source)

[10:35 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe asks, "Do you speak common?"

[10:36 PM] DM: He tilts his head and speaks in some other language that sounds like a different kind of whistle.

[10:36 PM] Kelania: "So no, then."

[10:36 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe looks around at everyone else, "anyone"

[10:36 PM] Briar: "That's auran, probably. But I don't speak it."

[10:37 PM] Splint: ((is he making any non-verbal communications, or looking in a particular direction))

[10:37 PM] DM: Do any of you speak any dialect of Primordial or Aarakocra?

[10:37 PM] DM: Just tilting his head like a confused parrot.

[10:37 PM] Kelania: ((nope))

[10:37 PM] Briar: "Just cut him free and let's see what he does, I guess."

[10:37 PM] Kelania: ((can't briar talk to everyone after like a minute?))

[10:37 PM] Briar: "Worst case, he flies off and we've rescued some poor bird-adventurer."

[10:37 PM] Briar: (a day, and it has to be multiples interacting with one another)

[10:38 PM] Kelania: ((ah. okay))

[10:38 PM] Briar: (so she could probably speak chultan by now but not aarakocra)

[10:39 PM] Splint: Splint will cut the birdman loose with his dagger. "There ya go buddy."

[10:39 PM] DM: He chirps softly.

[10:39 PM] Radzwe: ((I think I already cut him free))

[10:39 PM] Splint: ((is he hurt?))

[10:40 PM] DM: He doesn't appear to be.

[10:40 PM] Splint: "You know, on second thought, we probably should've kept this guy bound up."

[10:40 PM] Splint: "He'll probably want to leave and draw attention."

[10:41 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe searches the room for anything useful

[10:41 PM] Radzwe: ((12))

[10:41 PM] Splint: Splint will offer the bird water from his waterskin.

[10:41 PM] DM: There's some places where ropes can be bound to the walls, but nothing of significance.

[10:41 PM] Briar: "If we could sneak up at night, surely he can fly away at night."

10:41 PM] Radzwe: "You are over thinking things.  Letting him go is the right thing"

[10:41 PM] DM: He takes it and gives a grateful whistle before drinking.

[10:42 PM] Splint: "Alright..well...WE'LL BE ON OUR WAY NOW...YOU FOLLOW US?" Splint will motion towards the chimney

[10:42 PM] Radzwe: ((hope you aren't shouting))

[10:42 PM] Splint: ((enunciating))

[10:43 PM] DM: He gestures with his hands to make a long face and poofs out his wings, stomping around a bit like a monster, then points up the chimney. He points at himself and points back the way you came, handing the waterskin back.

[10:44 PM] Kelania: Kelania gives a goofy grin and a thumbs up.

[10:44 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe wonders who gets to try the chimney first?

[10:45 PM] Briar: "See you sometime!" Briar, attempting to hold on to her last vestiges of optimism, takes the makeshift 100ft rope and tries the climb.

[10:45 PM] Splint: Splint will cast Guidance

[10:45 PM] Briar: (hooray)

[10:45 PM] DM: Strength (Athletics).

[10:45 PM] Splint: on Briar

[10:45 PM] Briar: (17)

[10:45 PM] Splint: ((+4))

[10:45 PM] DM: Once you get most of the way up, you can see light coming from above.

[10:46 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe reminds everyone to try to make as little noise as possible so we can hopefully all get up before a fight breaks out

[10:47 PM] Briar: (is there anywhere high up, but not out the top, that the rope could be attached to without poking out to anything waiting above?)

[10:47 PM] Briar: (toward the top of the chimney, that is)

[10:47 PM] Radzwe: ((can you go invisbile while climbing?))

[10:48 PM] DM: If you have pitons and a hammer, you could make one, but it'd be noisy. There are handholds, but not really like... protrusions.

[10:48 PM] Briar: (1/short rest)

[10:48 PM] Briar: Alright, then. Nothing to do but climb and hope they aren't waiting in ambush up top. She keeps going.

[10:50 PM] DM: Poking your head up to the top, the spire’s pinnacle is flat and roughly 40 feet square. The edges are crumbling away; it wouldn’t be safe to stand too close to any of them. Vines and low brush grow in profusion. Bones and scraps of meat from dozens of creatures are scattered everywhere.

A crumbling stone tower rises another 30 feet above the northern corner of the platform. A roaring flame floats in the air, hovering above the tower. Tumbled debris from the tower is heaped around its foundation. Three humanoid creatures with needlelike beaks and leathery wings are worrying the last shreds of flesh from well-chewed bones near an open doorway into the base of the tower.

[10:50 PM] DM: The ones closest to you seem distracted, but it would definitely take a stealth roll to move out of the chimney unnoticed.

[10:50 PM] Briar: (how high was the climb?)

[10:51 PM] Radzwe: ((can smaller types climb up her rope and move around her?))

[10:51 PM] DM: It's about 50 feet up the chimney.

[10:52 PM] DM: She takes up pretty much all the space inside the chimney.

[10:52 PM] Briar: (how long, roughly, did it take to climb 50 feet up the rope before?)

[10:53 PM] DM: It's difficult terrain, so I mean technically only 24 seconds but that's pretty silly, so a minute or two?

[10:53 PM] Briar: (if anyone has advice i'm all ears)

[10:53 PM] DM: Unless we're talking in combat, in which case two rounds.

[10:53 PM] Briar: (oh lmao)

[10:54 PM] Briar: (two rounds is a little different from twelve so you can see my concern a little there)

[10:54 PM] DM: But keep in mind that anything the others want to say about this, will have to wait until Briar either relays it by shouting or by going back down to tell them.

[10:54 PM] Briar: Briar ATTEMPTS to stealthily climb up and secure the rope. If she is detected, she'll shout for the others.

[10:55 PM] Briar: (that, right there, is a seven)

[10:55 PM] Splint: ((anyone have a mini trampoline))

[10:55 PM] DM: They are really interested in dinner.

[10:56 PM] Briar: (i can't tell if that means they're about to eat me, or they haven't seen me)

[10:56 PM] DM: Briar manages to get into the base of the tower unseen.

[10:56 PM] Briar: Briar murmurs the quietest of thanks to some forest-gods and secures the rope, then gives it a few tugs to signal people to ascend.

[10:56 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe scurries up to join her

[10:56 PM] Kelania: Kel follows

[10:56 PM] DM: Stealth please!

[10:57 PM] Kelania: ((9))

[10:57 PM] Radzwe: ((21))

10:57 PM] Splint: Splint will cast Guidance on himself, and follow

[10:58 PM] Splint: ((28, crit))

[10:59 PM] DM: As Kel is coming up, one of the pterafolk stops eating and turns, just in time to see her duck into the tower.  And we're going to roll initiative again.

[10:59 PM] Kelania: ((11))

[10:59 PM] Briar: (5)

[10:59 PM] Splint: ((17))

[11:00 PM] Radzwe: ((13))

[11:00 PM] DM: Darvin... is still in the chimney.

[11:01 PM] DM: Two of the pterafolk take off and fly into the air, flying around the flame above. It's difficult to track them in the dark with the bright light of the flame illuminating everything.

[11:01 PM] Briar: "Keep inside if you can, I think."

[11:01 PM] DM: @Splint You're at the top of the chimney, in the open.

[11:02 PM] Splint: ((christ))

[11:02 PM] Splint: ((is it my turn to act?))

[11:03 PM] DM: Yep.

[11:04 PM] Splint: ((i'll dash for the tower, avoiding as many pterafolks as possible))

[11:04 PM] DM: Would you like to take an action to disengage, or are you just running?

[11:05 PM] Splint: ((what's meant by disengage?))

[11:05 PM] DM: If you don't the one by the door gets to make an attack of opportunity. If you disengage, you're immune to AOOs (except in rare circumstances).

[11:05 PM] DM: But it takes an action.

[11:06 PM] Splint: ((ok, before i do so, do the pterafolks already notice me?))

[11:06 PM] DM: They are alert, yes.

[11:06 PM] Radzwe: ((You could go for grovel))

[11:07 PM] Splint: ((ok, i'll yell down the chimney for Darvin, then disengage and dash for the tower))

[11:07 PM] DM: Ok!

[11:08 PM] DM: The pterafolk nearest the door will step forward and try to snap at Kel with its beak before taking off in flight. It gets her for 6 damage.

[11:08 PM] DM: @Radzwe !

[11:09 PM] Radzwe: ((How many are there, and how many are flying or on ground?))

[11:09 PM] Radzwe: (I thought 3)

[11:09 PM] DM: There are still three on the ground and three more flying.

[11:09 PM] DM: The three on the description were just the three fighting over dinner.

[11:10 PM] Radzwe: ((So I'd have to go out back to the chimney to melee?))

[11:12 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe stands in the door and readies a spear attack

[11:12 PM] DM: Ok!

[11:12 PM] Radzwe: eot

[11:12 PM] DM: Kel!

[11:12 PM] Kelania: Kel peeks out the door and fires an arrow at the closest Pterafolk

[11:13 PM] Kelania: ((12a,12d))

[11:13 PM] Kelania: and then pull back inside

[11:13 PM] DM: It does just barely hit! A solid thunk and the pterafolk swears in Common.

[11:14 PM] DM: The last three pterafolk will take off for the skies, though not before one will try to bite Radzwe- so he can go ahead and take his readied spear attack.

[11:15 PM] DM: @Radzwe ?

[11:15 PM] Radzwe: ((9a))

[11:16 PM] DM: That's a miss, but it bites you right in the neck for 10 damage.

[11:16 PM] Radzwe: ((1hp again))

[11:16 PM] Splint: ((was that with +2 to ac from SoF?))

[11:16 PM] DM: Then flies away. Radzwe just used his reaction to do the readied attack, but Briar can take an AOO if she likes.

[11:16 PM] DM: Iiiiit... is not! So never mind on that 10 damage.

[11:16 PM] DM: It rolled 18.

[11:17 PM] Briar: (sure)

[11:17 PM] Briar: (14a, 7d)

[11:17 PM] DM: Briar swipes at it and a spray of blood marks the target, but it still takes to the skies.

11:17 PM] DM: @Briar 's turn.

[11:17 PM] DM: All the pterafolk are flying.

[11:18 PM] Briar: (how high up are they?)

[11:18 PM] DM: It varies, but at least 30' away.

[11:18 PM] Briar: Briar steps out onto the stone.

[11:18 PM] Briar: (any exactly 30'?)

[11:18 PM] DM: Sure, we'll say the one to the east is.

[11:19 PM] Briar: She tosses a javelin at it, and hopes it doesn't impale someone on the way down.

[11:19 PM] Briar: (14a, 7d)

[11:19 PM] DM: Nice! It hits the pterafolk right in the torso and it kind of flutters a bit from the impact before regaining its flight stability.

[11:19 PM] Briar: Then she ducks back into the building.

[11:19 PM] DM: Ok!

[11:19 PM] Briar: (eot)

[11:20 PM] DM: Darvin gets to go now, and he'll take a shot at the pterafolk to the west as well before running inside.  That is a hit, but the pterafolk, while wounded, is still kinda flapping, though probably will be landing here shortly.

[11:21 PM] Splint: "Attaboy Darvo!"

[11:22 PM] DM: With no targets in the open, the leader of the pterafolk, a big creature with a nasty scar that goes down his head and the right side of his face and chest to below his wing, calls out, "Come out, food!"

[11:22 PM] DM: @Splint

[11:23 PM] Briar: "Well, I'm convinced."

[11:23 PM] Kelania: "No!"

[11:23 PM] Splint: "We can do this all day!"

[11:23 PM] Briar: "If we're food, why'd you throw all those people off the thing?"

[11:23 PM] Radzwe: "Burn"

[11:24 PM] Splint: Splint will cast Bless on Kelania, Briar, and Darvin. ((+4 to attack and saving throws))

[11:24 PM] Splint: ((eot))

[11:24 PM] DM: That will drop SoF, yes?

[11:25 PM] DM: Plus a d4, not just 4.

[11:25 PM] Splint: ((looks like, its a concentration))

[11:25 PM] Splint: ((alrighty))

[11:26 PM] Splint: ((is it possible to shuffle places with another character during a single turn?))

[11:27 PM] DM: You can move, but you... if they're willing, I'd let you use an action to push, but no, they'd have to move on their turn.

[11:27 PM] Splint: ((Alright, we'll see how it plays out for now))

[11:27 PM] Splint: ((that was my eot))

[11:28 PM] DM: The pterafolk keep flying. @Radzwe !

[11:28 PM] Radzwe: ((How close is the closest?))

[11:29 PM] DM: About 45'?

[11:29 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe throws a dart at the closest and then moves to the other side of Briar

[11:30 PM] Radzwe: ((nat 1))

[11:30 PM] DM: That dart will never be seen again.

[11:30 PM] DM: @Kelania !

[11:31 PM] Kelania: Kel steps out, and fires an arrow at the leader.

[11:31 PM] DM: You'll have to step out and to the side a bit to see him, but sure!

[11:31 PM] Kelania: (how far out?)

[11:32 PM] Kelania: (if it's too far to get back inside, then I'll just fire at the closest one)

[11:32 PM] DM: Just another 5'.

[11:32 PM] Kelania: (okay)

[11:32 PM] Kelania: (29a 10d)

[11:32 PM] Kelania: and I'll burn the action surge to do another at the leader

[11:33 PM] Kelania: (24a, 9d)

[11:33 PM] DM: Both definitely hit!

11:33 PM] Kelania: And I scurry back inside

[11:33 PM] Kelania: eot

[11:33 PM] DM: Ok!

[11:34 PM] DM: He's hurt.

[11:34 PM] DM: The one with an arrow and a javelin in its chest comes in with a hard landing and starts moving towards the tower.

[11:35 PM] DM: @Briar !

[11:35 PM] Briar: Briar moves out after the landed one.

[11:35 PM] Briar: (is it out of my sight?)

[11:35 PM] DM: You can see it. It's about 20' away.

[11:35 PM] Briar: (my vision in roll20 doesn't reflect that)

[11:36 PM] Briar: (thanks).

[11:36 PM] Briar: She doesn't want to get attacked all at once by a bunch of pterafolk, so she just moves out and lobs another javelin.

[11:36 PM] Briar: (16a, 6d)

[11:36 PM] Briar: Then it's back inside to stand guard at the doorway.

[11:36 PM] DM: With a second javelin to the chest, it falls.

[11:37 PM] Briar: "Quick, anyone got a clever retort?"

[11:37 PM] Briar: (eot)

[11:37 PM] Kelania: "Looks like this food bites back!"

[11:37 PM] Radzwe: "Anybody want a peanut?"

[11:37 PM] Splint: "Eat this!"

[11:37 PM] DM: Darvin will fire past Briar at the one to the south. Another solid arrow hit.

[11:37 PM] Briar: "I knew i could count on you guys."

[11:38 PM] DM: The leader comes down and lands in front of the tower to attack Briar.

[11:38 PM] Kelania: "What else are we here for?"

[11:38 PM] DM: One claw attack hits for 6 damage.

[11:38 PM] Briar: "Ow. Hey, you, did you hear? 'Looks like this food bites back.'"

[11:38 PM] DM: @Splint !

[11:39 PM] Splint: ((i think we should leave a space inside right in the entrance, so that anyone who walks inside to attack gets AAO'd by 3 people))

[11:40 PM] Radzwe: ((Its only walking away))

[11:40 PM] Briar: (if we did, it could target whoever)

[11:40 PM] Briar: (i'd prefer it target me)

[11:40 PM] Splint: Splint will cast Sacred Flame on the one attacking Briar

[11:40 PM] DM: DEX save, yeah? It rolls a 19.

[11:41 PM] Splint: ((3a, DEX 12 to save))

[11:41 PM] DM: So no damage.

[11:41 PM] Splint: ((well, thats my EOT))

[11:41 PM] DM: Ok!

[11:41 PM] DM: Another wounded pterafolk lands, but has nowhere to go.

[11:41 PM] DM: @Radzwe

[11:42 PM] Splint: ((i mean, it seems like only one could be in that space at time))

[11:42 PM] Radzwe: Radzwe skrewers the leader with his separ

[11:42 PM] Radzwe: ((22a,10d))

[11:43 PM] Radzwe: then uses a ki point for flurry of blows

[11:43 PM] DM: Go for it

[11:43 PM] Radzwe: ((nat 1))((20a,8d))

[11:43 PM] DM: He's looking really hurt but isn't dead just yet.

[11:44 PM] DM: @Kelania !

[11:44 PM] Kelania: Kel fires an arrow past the leader and briar at the one that just landed.

[11:44 PM] Kelania: (29a 7d)

[11:45 PM] DM: That... definitely hits and you slay another one.

[11:45 PM] Kelania: eot

[11:45 PM] Kelania: "You still keeping tally, Darvin?"

[11:45 PM] DM: Two of the pterafolk see all of this happening... and just bounce. They disappear into the night sky.

[11:45 PM] DM: @Briar

[11:46 PM] Splint: "You better run!"

[11:46 PM] Briar: Briar swings her longsword at the leader. "I would say it's nothing personal and we just need the mask, except I nearly died slipping on your stupid tower, so it kind of is personal!"

[11:46 PM] Briar: (24a, 9d)

[11:47 PM] DM: And Briar, slayer of terror folk, takes down another.

[11:47 PM] DM: Darvin flings an arrow at the last one, but it's already fleeing too.

[11:48 PM] Splint: "Wooo! Never even stood a chance!"

[11:48 PM] DM: And we'll end initiative and the session for tonight and pick up looting next week.

[11:48 PM] Kelania: ((hooray!))

[11:48 PM] Briar: "That went surprisingly well."
