[2:05 PM] DM: 9 Felmont 3Y21

## Riverrun

You wake to find fresh snow on the trees and grasses, though it's already melted on the roads of the blue-adorned Riverrun. Is there anything left to do before you find your way to the temple to teleport to Manavik?

[2:06 PM] Seirixori: ((I sure hope not lol))

[2:07 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: At breakfast, Ry gives each of the party members 200gp. ((Please add to your personal inventory))

[2:09 PM] Urrak: ""Hey hey, nice. A payday,"" Urrak pockets her share.

[2:11 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""It's been a while, and after talking with Tanjura about guild funds, she said we could split this amongst ourselves.""

[2:12 PM] Seirixori: Seir snickers, ""You're welcome.""

[2:15 PM] DM: So you eat and get on your way. Gylfi meets you at the Temple of Vydea.

[2:17 PM] Seirixori: ""Do we always have to wake up early?"" Seir grumbles as they get to the temple.

[2:18 PM] Urrak: ""Ask Ryleigh,"" Urrak grumbles in sympathy

[2:18 PM] Brimeia: ""You been off having fun, Gylfi?""

[2:18 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""It gives us a full day to do what we need too,"" Ry explains, undeterred by their complaining. Her shield bearing Asten's symbol today.

[2:19 PM] DM: Gylfi is wearing studded leather with a silver whip at their side, a blue cloak with a silver Vydea's Moon symbol as a clasp, and a bow and quiver on their back. They also have a rather visible bruise on their neck. ""Almost didn't sleep at all.""

[2:19 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia laughs. ""Next time, invite me."" She winks.

[2:20 PM] Urrak: ""This is gonna be interestin'.""

[2:22 PM] Seirixori: ""Shiny,"" Seir says, looking at Gylfi's silver whip.

[2:23 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Not that you need much sleep anyway,"" Ry comments, with a small smile.

[2:23 PM] Brimeia: ""I'm sure it's got plenty of uses,"" Bri comments when Seir points out the whip.

[2:23 PM] DM: ""Wanna try it out?""

[2:24 PM] Seirixori: ""Yes.""

[2:25 PM] Brimeia: ""Me too."" Bri grins.

[2:25 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: It takes a moment for Ryleigh to look over Gylfi's outfit, she's a little fixated on her whip too. Then she suddenly says, ""Um... Gylfi, you probably shouldn't wear Vydea's symbol so brazenly. Manavik is where the Ashlords are trained, and worshiping any god other than Asten is blasphemous.""

[2:26 PM] Urrak: ""They're kinda assholes about it too,"" Urrak deadpans

[2:27 PM] Seirixori: ""Asholes."" Seir starts laughing. ""Oh it's a good thing they don't know what this one means."" Seir pats the part of her chest that's somewhat showing from the armor she hasn't completely done up. ""And that the other one is covered.""

[2:27 PM] DM: ""Oh, right..."" Gylfi says before turning a flap of their cloak over to tuck the clasp out of sight.

[2:29 PM] DM: Rukiya smirks at Gylfi before heading up the stairs. ""Let's get moving.""

[2:30 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ryleigh follows Rukiya as she leads them to the teleportation circle.

## To Manavik

[2:31 PM] DM: You find Algar, the elf in blue wizards robes who takes your ticket and destination with only a hint of concern or confusion until he notices Rukiya and Gylfi and smiles. When you pass through the circle, you're in, you appear in a stone room where a pale-skinned human man in white robes with a red belt was seated until the circle alit with magic.

[2:31 PM] DM: Now, though, he doesn't bother hiding the way he peers at you all as if to figure out why you are interrupting his thoughts with your presence.

[2:33 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Good morning,"" Ry says brightly, allowing more of her accent to come through. ""Got stuck with the boring job of watching the circle? I promise it gets better, they're just giving you a hard time because you're a recruit."" She winks at him.

[2:34 PM] DM: His eyes dart around the group of you. ""You uh... you're unscheduled.""

[2:34 PM] Seirixori: Seir looks like she's studying the interaction rather than her normal rolling of eyes.

[2:37 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Sorry about that,"" she says. ""We didn't mean to interrupt your schedule.""

[2:38 PM] DM: He reaches for a clipboard and holds it out towards Ryleigh. ""Need you to sign in, uh... ma'am.""

[2:39 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""No problem,"" Ry says, taking the clipboard and jotting down the information he needs - lying where she needs to.

[2:39 PM] DM: He takes it back and glances over it. ""Do you know where you're going?""

[2:40 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""I do. I did my paladin training here a few years ago.""

[2:41 PM] DM: He nods.

[2:42 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: She walks towards the door and opens it, leading the others out of the room and out of the temple.

[2:42 PM] DM: As you walk through, you get many looks, some more obvious than others. Almost everyone is human, and they are all wearing some combination of white and red.

[2:43 PM] Seirixori: ""I feel like I should have remembered this part.""

[2:44 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ry's body language is projecting confidence and power, her head held high and haughty look on her face. ""Just ignore them,"" she mumbles to Seir.

[2:45 PM] DM: Once you're outside, the snow on the ground is piled on the sides of the roads and to the sides of buildings with steep-sloped roofs. It's not as big a city as Riverrun, not even close, but it's much larger and more established than Croysa was. The buildings here are largely stone, the building you just came from polished white marble with red around the tops of the columns out front.

[2:46 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Does anyone need any supplies while were here? Because once we're in the Shadowfell... well it's not like we can buy from a store.""

[2:48 PM] Seirixori: Seir shakes her head, ""I think I have everything I need. I picked up a few things while I was out and about yesterday.""

[2:48 PM] Brimeia: ""Do we need any potions or stuff like that?""

[2:49 PM] Seirixori: ""I still have a few healing potions I made. Nothing big, but they'll do in a pinch.""

[2:50 PM] Urrak: ""Aye, I have one as well. An' a few spells left in...th' ring.""

[2:50 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: While it looks like Ry's listening to the conversation, she's looking in certain direction of the city.

[2:51 PM] DM: Gylfi: ""Alptaver is northeast of here. Whether we walk through the forest or take horses down the road then walk through the forest, it's about the same amount of time.""

[2:51 PM] Seirixori: ""How much time?""

[2:51 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Avoiding the roads is probably best, considering we stick out."" Her attention settling back on the group.

[2:52 PM] DM: Gylfi: ""Can't say I use them... ever... but I'm usually traveling alone.""

[2:52 PM] DM: Gylfi: ""It'd be about two days of walking. If we leave now, we'll get there just before dusk tomorrow.""

[2:52 PM] Seirixori: ""I can uh... make it a bit faster."" Seir pauses, ""Assuming everyoen wants to be... clouds.""

[2:53 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""...what?""

[2:53 PM] Seirixori: ""I can turn us into clouds?""

[2:54 PM] Urrak: ""Honestly I'm not even gonna question it anymore.""

[2:54 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""How would we move as clouds,"" Ry asks, starting to walk them northeast.

[2:56 PM] Seirixori: ""Well, its not Exactly clouds, but it might as well be. I do know that we can move extremely fast. Like... like uh, I don't know, probably cut that time in half. We can't do anything but go very fast, but... you know, very fast?"" She frowns, ""I am not selling this well.""

[3:05 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Let's get out of the city first, then we can try out being clouds..."" Ry says, her head on constant swivel.

[3:06 PM] Seirixori: ""You mean you don't want to draw more attention to us?"" Seir jokes.

[3:07 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Not here. I actually still know people here... or I think I do."" It's said with uncertainty.

[3:10 PM] DM: Ryleigh leads the way out of the town. There are stone walls around the exterior of the city with big, fortified gates leading out into the wilderness. The Fytulk is thick here. Denser and darker than you've seen in the west. The very shadows seem to reach out for you.

[3:13 PM] Seirixori: ""As creepy as this is... I think my Mama would enjoy having so many shadows... though maybe not the shadows that are... alive.""

[3:13 PM] DM: Gylfi grins. ""Just wait until you see the ones that actually are.""

[3:14 PM] Urrak: ""I'm so excited..."" Urrak mumbles

[3:14 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Okay, cloud us. Gylfi, we'll follow you since you know where you're going... which, you do... right?""

[3:15 PM] DM: Gylfi nods. ""I've been there before, though not from the air.""

[3:15 PM] Seirixori: ""Uh, okay sure, just um... Gylfi if you could stand ahead of us because I'm pretty sure we won't be able to tell each other apart... or talk.""

[3:15 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Well, get us as close as you can and we can always walk the rest of the way.""

[3:18 PM] DM: Gylfi steps to the northwest of the group and strikes a dashingly heroic pose.

[3:19 PM] Seirixori: Seir chuckles, ""Can you hold that pose for a full minute?"" She starts murmuring some words as she pulls out a vial of what looks like water. Fire erupts in her other hand after a minute of her movements and words she opens the vial and dumps it over the fire and then quickly throws her hand out. The combination of fire and holy water mixing and turning to steam as it arcs across everyone.   Hurray, Wind walk! Clouds that move 300ft!

[3:23 PM] DM: You are all mist on the wind! Cloud-Gylfi rises up over the trees and sets off for the northwest. You zip over the trees without a care in the world- besides getting separated- and within a couple hours, you're descending into a small town, smaller even than Croysa, that's crowded and tense. Gylfi stops behind a building but inside the wooden walls.

## Alptaver

[3:24 PM] Seirixori: It does take another full minute to revert back, but once done Seir grins and whispers, ""That was almost cooler than walking through trees.""

[3:24 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""It was just like flying,"" Ry says, her excitement still present.

[3:24 PM] DM: Rukiya smirks. ""Not sure what other word you would use to describe it.""

[3:25 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ry shoulders Rukiya softly. ""Hush you.""

[3:26 PM] Brimeia: ""That was super fun.""

[3:27 PM] DM: Gylfi: ""So here's one problem that comes from such an expeditious manner of travel... the shadow crossings cannot exist if there is sunlight. I was thinking we might wait until dusk to start searching, just in case the crossing is in a place where the sun might reach it. And we'll have to cover your sword somehow if you can't turn it off. ...And your necklace.""

[3:29 PM] DM: Gylfi leans towards Rukiya. ""She's so shiny.""

[3:29 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""I can tuck my necklace away."" Which she takes the time to do now. ""Dawnbringer can lessen her light and I'll tuck her into my cloak,"" Ry says, with a small roll of her eyes at the shiny comment.

[3:29 PM] Seirixori: Seir chuckles, ""And I'm pink.""

[3:29 PM] Seirixori: Seir hums in thought, ""Do you think shifting with me is better or worse than her turning off?""

[3:33 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Yeah, she doesn't like that idea. My cloak will be fine, if it makes me a target, then I'll handle it.""

[3:34 PM] Seirixori: Seir nods, ""Okay.""

[3:34 PM] Seirixori: Seir pauses, ""So... what happens if you try to cast a spell that casts sunlight in the Shadowfell?""

[3:36 PM] DM: ""Light is dimmer there than it is here, so it won't travel as far, or be as bright, but you won't be expelled or anything like that. It's just finding the crossings that's difficult. Also, frequently the creatures there are sensitive to the light, so your sword may be more of a boon than a drawback once we're inside.""

[3:37 PM] Seirixori: ""Hey, look at that, for once it won't matter that people can see us."" Seir teases.

[3:37 PM] DM: ""Oh, it will still be a beacon for anything looking, but if we can't avoid it, fighting should be easier.""

[3:38 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ryleigh chuckles. ""I'll just follow your lead once we're inside.""

[3:38 PM] DM: ""I am, of course, assuming that your sword and necklace are sunlight and not regular light.""

[3:39 PM] Urrak: ""It killed my vampire wife so, yep. Sunlight.""

[3:39 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""You'd be correct in your assumption."""

"[2:53 PM] Seirixori: ""I can turn us into clouds?""

[2:54 PM] Urrak: ""Honestly I'm not even gonna question it anymore.""

[2:54 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""How would we move as clouds,"" Ry asks, starting to walk them northeast.

[2:56 PM] Seirixori: ""Well, its not Exactly clouds, but it might as well be. I do know that we can move extremely fast. Like... like uh, I don't know, probably cut that time in half. We can't do anything but go very fast, but... you know, very fast?"" She frowns, ""I am not selling this well.""

[3:07 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Not here. I actually still know people here... or I think I do."" It's said with uncertainty.

[3:10 PM] DM: Ryleigh leads the way out of the town. There are stone walls around the exterior of the city with big, fortified gates leading out into the wilderness. The Fytulk is thick here. Denser and darker than you've seen in the west. The very shadows seem to reach out for you.

[3:13 PM] Seirixori: ""As creepy as this is... I think my Mama would enjoy having so many shadows... though maybe not the shadows that are... alive.""

[3:13 PM] DM: Gylfi grins. ""Just wait until you see the ones that actually are.""

[3:14 PM] Urrak: ""I'm so excited..."" Urrak mumbles

[3:14 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Okay, cloud us. Gylfi, we'll follow you since you know where you're going... which, you do... right?""

[3:39 PM] Urrak: ""It killed my vampire wife so, yep. Sunlight.""

[3:39 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""You'd be correct in your assumption.""

[3:42 PM] DM: ""I created some torches we can use that aren't sunlight that we can use to find the crossing, but again, it might be best to wait a few hours until sunset to try so we don't end up missing it. Which means we have a few hours to kill... in a very small, boring town.""

[3:43 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""I guess we could have afforded more time in Manavik."" Ry looks slightly regretful.

[3:44 PM] Seirixori: ""I did say very fast?""

[3:45 PM] Urrak: ""I'm gonna go look fer a tavern,"" Urrak starts to walk off

[3:46 PM] Seirixori: ""Right,"" Seir watches Urrak go, ""Someone else can deal with that.""

[3:48 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""I assume there's no where in this tiny town that has music?"" Ry asks Gylfi, while taking Rukiya's hand and twirling her. ""It's been too long since we've danced.""

[3:49 PM] Seirixori: Seir tsks, ""As if you have to go looking for music.""

[3:50 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ryleigh smiles at Seir. ""This is true, but sometimes its nice not having to sing and dance.""

[3:50 PM] Seirixori: ""Pff, I meant I can play for you.""

[3:56 PM] DM: You spend some time gallavanting and gather up outside the walls just before sunset. Gylfi sets their backpack down, opens it, and pulls three lit torches from the satchel, then hands them to those who take them. ""These aren't sunlight, so the crossing won't disappear. You're looking for shadows that don't fear the light, particularly under trees or open graves or caves. Keep an eye out for unnatural creatures, too. Living shadows or things you've never seen before. Stay together. The Fytulk is dangerous, especially to those who wander alone, but even more at night.""

[3:57 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ry takes one of the torches, then nods as they're given instructions.

[3:58 PM] DM: And I will need one of you to give me a survival check.

[3:58 PM] Seirixori: Seir raises her hand a little, ""Do you think asking the trees or plants will help?""

[3:58 PM] Seirixori: ((12))

[3:59 PM] DM: ""It might, but only the ones close enough to it to know about it. You could ask a hundred times and never find it.""

[4:00 PM] Seirixori: ""Fair enough.""

[4:01 PM] DM: So who has the other two torches?

[4:01 PM] Urrak: Urrak waves the torch around slowly, ""Here we go...""

[4:02 PM] Seirixori: Seir takes the other one but then immediately hands it to Brimeia.

[4:02 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia takes it without question.

[4:03 PM] DM: Ok. You head out into the forest. Gylfi has you spread out, maybe ten feet between each of you, with torches for every other one of you, making a slow spiral around the town, slowly making your way out further and further, checking shadows along the way.

[4:03 PM] DM: Everyone roll a d20 for me.

[4:04 PM] Brimeia: ((12))

[4:04 PM] Urrak: ((4))

[4:04 PM] Seirixori: ((6))

[4:04 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ((Ry: 4 / Rukiya: 2))

## The Crossing Guardian

[4:05 PM] DM: As you move away from the town, it's almost like the trees lean in towards you, the shadows cling a little tighter, the sound of your feet crunching in the snow is a little more muffled.

[4:06 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""This way,"" Ry calls to the others, pointing north. ""I can... feel it,"" she says.

[4:06 PM] DM: It's really, really late by this point. You've been walking for hours, looking for this crossing.

[4:07 PM] Urrak: Urrak heads in Ryleigh's direction, torch firmly in front of her

[4:08 PM] Seirixori: ""I bet that's a fun feeling,"" Seir whispers as she heads towards Ryleigh.

[4:12 PM] DM: As you head north, Rukiya vanishes.

[4:12 PM] Seirixori: ""Whaaaaat the fuck just happened?""

[4:13 PM] Brimeia: ""Um...Is that supposed to happen?""

[4:13 PM] DM: And I'm going to need you all to roll initiative as Gylfi lets out a quiet swear.

[4:13 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Rukiya?"" Ry says, looking around and waving her torch. ""Gylfi.... Gylfi, what happened to her?"" Ry's trying to keep the panic out of her voice.

[4:13 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia pokes the space where Rukiya disappeared with a regular javelin fomr her pack.

[4:13 PM] Seirixori: Seir moves to Ryleigh and places a hand on her arm.

[4:14 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ((14))

[4:14 PM] Seirixori: ((18))

[4:14 PM] Urrak: ""Shit."" Urrak unsheathes her sword, dropping the torch  ((21))

[4:16 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Gylfi: (23)

[4:17 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Rukiya: (20)

[4:17 PM] Brimeia: ((8))

[4:19 PM] DM: Gylfi draws their silver whip in one hand and a scimitar in the other. ""Stay close, but we need to find her. Now. Which way did you say you felt it?""

[4:20 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""North!"" Ry says, withdrawing her shield.

[4:21 PM] DM: Gylfi takes off into the forest, following a small gully.

[4:21 PM] DM: @Urrak

[4:21 PM] Urrak: Urrak follows close behind Gylfi, picking up the torch and slipping it into her belt. (( just keep up, end turn))

[4:21 PM] Brimeia: Bri grips her glaive.

[4:25 PM] DM: Gylfi dashed. Do you want to keep up or move ahead with your faster movement or just do your 40?

[4:27 PM] Urrak: ((If I can't reach her in my 40, then I'll dash to keep up))

[4:30 PM] DM: @Seirixori !

[4:30 PM] Seirixori: Seir curses and summons 8 wolves about 50ft to where everyone is headed. ""4 stay to help us(help action), the rest of you, keep a look out for our friend!"" Seir gives a very quick brief description and sends them to go searching for Rukiya. The 4 that are staying are going to the sides of everyone but Seir.

She then moves her full movement to the north as well and casts shillelagh on her staff. ((end))

[4:32 PM] DM: So Urrak and Gylfi see a bunch of wolves running up on their asses.

[4:34 PM] DM: @Ryleigh Alisdair !

[4:35 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ryleigh will dash north, the torch still in one hand while her shield is in the other. ((end turn))

[4:38 PM] DM: @Brimeia

[4:39 PM] Brimeia: Bri will dash up to where the others are.

[4:39 PM] Brimeia: ((far as i can get))

[4:39 PM] DM: Speed?

[4:39 PM] Brimeia: ((40, so 80 with dash?))

[4:40 PM] DM: Ok!

[4:40 PM] Brimeia: ""Should we spread out a little? Not too far. Still enough to see each other but cover a little more ground?""

[4:41 PM] DM: Gylfi rushes ahead. ""This way! I see something!"" They rush through the trees to the north.

[4:41 PM] DM: @Urrak

[4:42 PM] Urrak: Urrak continues to follow Gylfi ((end))

[4:44 PM] DM: You come around a tree and see  a dark rift in the center of the depression you're standing in. If you had to guess what a shadow crossing looked like, this would be pretty close, like a jagged scar of shadow ripped through the very fabric of space, bits of shadowy mist around the edges like tendrils trying to escape the void.

[4:44 PM] Urrak: ""Th' crossin'..."" Urrak stares at it a moment, fascinated.

[4:47 PM] DM: Gylfi and Urrak see a hunched humanoid figure with rope in its hand fly out of a tree and land heavily in the snow on its back."

"[12:39 PM] DM: @Seirixori You're in the back of the whole group as the only person who hasn't dashed.

[2:25 PM] Seirixori: Seir runs her regular movement in the direction of everyone else. She then takes a look around to see if there was something they missed in rushing forward.

[2:39 PM] DM: Perception check?

[2:43 PM] Seirixori: ((17))

[2:44 PM] DM: From where you are and what you can see... it's just trees and snow and the lights burning ahead from Urrak and Bri filtering through the foliage.

[2:46 PM] DM: The wolves continue running, the four of them who were sent ahead beelining for the creature that had been thrown into the snow.

[2:48 PM] DM: @Ryleigh Alisdair You can see Urrak and Bri's lights, the wolves chasing something, and Seir keeping up with you.

[4:35 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Don't get too far behind, homashoc,"" Ry says, her tone full of worry as she runs past Seirixori. ((using dash - end turn))

[4:38 PM] DM: The creature lying prone on the ground vanishes. Ryleigh and Seir, at the edge of Ry's torchlight see a humanoid creature slip in the snow shortly after, attempting to hide up on the ledge above and to the right.

[4:42 PM] DM: You hear a piercing scream through the darkness to the north-- Rukiya's.

[4:45 PM] DM: @Brimeia Ry just rushed past you. You can see Urrak, Gylfi, and the wolves ahead, the humanoid up to the right on the raised section of earth, and you heard Rukiya scream from somewhere further north.

[10:34 PM] Brimeia: ((Can we see the creature on the ledge's expression/demeanor at all?))

[10:59 PM] DM: It looks like it's trying to hide, but you can't see it's face

[11:07 PM] Brimeia: Bri narrows her eyes at the strange, possibly teleporting creature, but runs toward the sound of Rukiya's screams instead. ((dash to get as close as possible))"

"[12:18 PM] DM: Bri manages to get through the trees where she sees  a dark rift in the center of the depression she's standing in. If you had to guess what a shadow crossing looked like, this would be pretty close, like a jagged scar of shadow ripped through the very fabric of space, bits of shadowy mist around the edges like tendrils trying to escape the void.

She also sees a big hairy creature that looks like it's half tentacle and half toothy maw. One of those tentacles is wrapped around Rukiya and it's nom-ing on her legs.

[12:28 PM] DM: Gylfi runs up and shouts something in elven. They're surrounded by silver motes of light that flit around them; those close to the creature land on it seem to burn it as it recoils slightly.

[12:30 PM] DM: @Urrak ! If you don't mind getting a little close to the rift, you can get to the creature with 40' of movement. And if you do wish to do that and attack, you can roll your first attack with advantage thanks to Seir's wolves.

[12:43 PM] Urrak: ""Rukiya!"" Urrak heads towards the creature and swings her greatsword at it ((18, 19 - 21, 20 - 22, 22))

[12:47 PM] Urrak: ((end turn))"

"[7:54 AM] DM: Urrak definitely hurts the thing and it recoils in pain. As a legendary action, it disappears along with Rukiya.

[8:14 AM] DM: Rukiya slips from the tentacle and sprints along the edge of the depression, hiding in the trees, and if Urrak had seen where the creature appeared, she can no longer see it. (It is invisible to Urrak for 1 minute)

[8:17 AM] DM: @Seirixori is still far behind the others. She can see the poorly hidden humanoid up on the ledge, just inside Ry's light. It is 55-60 feet away, and Ry is 50' away.

[3:41 PM] Seirixori: Seir stiffens as she hears the scream and also realizes just how far away she is from everyone. She curses and grabs the wolf next to her and thunder steps just ahead of Ryleigh ((like 4 squares directly north of Ry)). ""Go,"" she whispers to the wolf, motioning towards the humanoid on the cliff. Then she looks behind her with a small grin, ""Don't get too far behind."" Then moves her 30' towards where the rest of her wolves are. ((End))

[3:43 PM] DM: From there, you can now also see the rift and you can see a weird tentacled creature on the ledge to the east.

[3:48 PM] DM: That wolf scrambles up the side of the ledge and bites the humanoid who yelps. The other wolves charge forward, either sticking with their people or seeking a target. The four wolves Seir had sent ahead earlier are standing at the bottom of the depression, barking and slavering after what's on the ledge above, but none of them are quite athletic enough to get a good foothold.

[3:50 PM] DM: Another humanoid appears from the opposite side and attempts to sneak up on Urrak, but she manages to prevent the creature from getting its rope around Urrak's neck. @Urrak , would you like to tell us how she manages to stop from being garroted?

[5:10 PM] Urrak: Urrak senses something behind her and spins around, seeing the assailant moments before they're able to strangle her. She drops her sword, grabs their wrists and swings them around and away from her, letting out a loud growl from the effort. ""Sneaky fuck--!""

[8:37 PM] DM: @Ryleigh Alisdair you can see the one humanoid nearest you, within range. You also see Seir and a couple wolves up ahead.

[8:58 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ""Rukiya!"" Ryleigh shouts, worried by the scream of hers that pierced the air. She dashes forward, despite the humanoid near her. ((end turn))

[9:21 PM] DM: As Urrak grabs the humanoid, Gylfi's little firefly like creatures land on it and it screams in pain.

[9:23 PM] DM: @Brimeia You're up again. You can see the four wolves have ""treed"" the tentacle creature on the ledge to the east. It is 40' away if you can succeed a DC 15 Athletics or Acrobatics check to hop up there. Otherwise, there's the humanoid Urrak's holding. You have not seen Rukiya since shortly after she escaped from the tentacles.

[10:02 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia will run up and try to hop up on the ledge where the creature is.

[10:03 PM] Brimeia: ((24 athletics))

[10:03 PM] DM: Ok! You still have your action, and you are in melee.

[10:06 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia's eyes dart around, looking for any sign of Rukiya. Not seeing any, she grips her glaive, rages, and attacks the creepy tentacle thing.

[10:09 PM] Brimeia: ((reckless; 29a, 19 slashing; 22a, 11 slashing. Forgot to turn on rage before i rolled my bad))

[10:12 PM] DM: Those both definitely hurt... but then it vanishes again.

[10:14 PM] DM: Gylfi calls out. ""Rukiya?! Where are you? Do you need help?"" They spend their action looking around for either her or the creature.

[10:15 PM] DM: @Urrak You have the humanoid in melee with you. You can't see the big guy, but everyone else seems to be gathering in the area.

[10:15 PM] Brimeia: ((oh yes also ancestors))"

"2:42 PM] Urrak: Urrak decides to deal with the creature in front of her before joining the others. She slashes at it with her sword ((24a, 11d) (30a, 32d) and 27a, 14d))

[3:23 PM] DM: With the second strike, the creature is cleaved in two. You don't see another target you could reach within your movement to use the third, though. Would you like to move or BA anyway?

[3:26 PM] DM: Rukiya comes flying out of some trees to the north and bounds right past Gylfi into some cover near Ry. ""Watch your backs! They teleport!"" And she hides again.

[3:29 PM] DM: @Seirixori ! You can actually see it thanks to your high passive perception. It's about 35' away from you (though there is a check or difficult terrain to reach melee), to the southeast.

[4:40 PM] Seirixori: Seir is going to try and stay as far away from all of them as she can, however... ""Well, time for some forest fun. Thank you, my friends, for the little bit of help."" As she says this, the wolves disappear and she crouches, slamming her hands into the ground. ""Try and hide now you... gross things."" She gives a slight twist in the ground and suddenly the entire forest around them seems to come alive. ((Casting Wrath of Nature, the center of which starts 10' in front of her and it's a 60' cube and there is ... so much info lol  DC17))

[4:43 PM] Seirixori: Because she can see the one to the southeast she'll use that one as her throwing rock bonus action and fling one at it. ((20at, 9dmg --- and the only other thing I'd have to roll for is if there our things that got slapped by some trees))

[4:46 PM] Urrak: ((Urrak will move towards the group))

[5:07 PM] Seirixori: ((17d for the 4d6))

[5:11 PM] DM: The trees whip wildly about, but two of them manage to dodge. One humanoid takes a branch to the face but is still standing and Seir's rock beans the tentacle monster and it is also restrained. It's not looking great.

[5:15 PM] DM: @Ryleigh Alisdair You are at least 25 feet from anything you can see. You saw where the trees attacked, so you can find the rough estimate of where each target is, but with the ledge in the way, you'll need to make a DC 15 acro/athl check to climb or use the larger number's distance for difficult terrain: 45 or 25 to a humanoid, 60 or 40 to the furry, or 70 or 50 to the other humanoid.

[7:32 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ((Can Ry see Rukiya?))

[7:32 PM] DM: She's in the tree next to you.

[7:32 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ((Can Ry touch her?))

[7:33 PM] DM: Probably not without using some movement.

[7:41 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: Ry will move to the tree, drop her torch, and pull herself up so she can touch Rukiya. She’ll look her over, trying to gauge how hurt she is and where she’s hurt.

[7:41 PM] DM: Fluff or using an action?

[7:42 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: ((She’s going to use lay on hands, but doesn’t know how hurt Rukiya is or where so she’s looking for that first))

[7:43 PM] DM: It's not easy to see because of the darkness and the dark leathers she wears, but there's definitely a wetness that shines oddly in the flickering torchlight from her waist down.

[7:46 PM] Ryleigh Alisdair: She moves her hands to where it looks like Rukiya’s hurt and sings a soft song of healing. ((25 hp back to Rukiya)). “Vydea you worried me,” Ry says, without really thinking because she so relieved Rukiya’s okay. ((End turn))

[7:50 PM] DM: Over the next few seconds, those of you who can see the humanoids watch them vanish. Seir sees the furry thing vanish... and after a few seconds, the 'rift' vanishes too. And that's where we'll pick up next session."
