Session 30

Back - Next

This session was played on November 3, 2017. It lasted 5 hours and 24 minutes.

## Synopsis

After discussing Gunnloda with Kendall, Seir and the halfling go to rescue Urrak, Rav, and Ryleigh who entered the portal to chase Nolanos. Nolanos, charmed by Poni, teleported out. The trio faced four specters and then a wraith when Ryleigh jumped into a hole. Kendall came in to save the day, destroying three of the specters with a turn undead and the wraith with her spiritual weapon, but not before Ravaphine was knocked unconscious. They had a lot of trouble getting out of the dungeon thanks to the chaos magic that tried to trap them, but they eventually made it out. Ryleigh found a new radiant longsword, Dawnbringer.

Seir and Gunnloda share a moment in the kitchen and are interrupted by the others before Ryleigh teases Urrak for her reactions.

## Trivia

* The highest damage in one turn was 28. This is also a new record.
* The highest damage in one session was Urrak's 57.
* The most kills this session were Kendall's four that tied a previous record.
* The highest kill count across the campaign is still Urrak, now at 9.

## Transcript

[4:30 PM] DM: DAY 7, 2:30 PM, BELLBURY.

While waiting for a special Moonstream hosted, Gunnloda catered dinner, Ravaphine and Nolanos got the funny idea to try to remove Poni's crystal. Now Nolanos has entered the portal that Seirixori said was full of bad things and Ravaphine and Urrak are coming down the stairs... and it's just a dark portal, like it was when Seirixori went through.

[4:32 PM] Ravaphine: "NOLANOS NO" Rav yells as she runs up to the portal to look through it, but not entering it

[4:32 PM] DM: It's just black.

[4:34 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak sees Ravaphine yell at the portal and sprints down the stairs, stopping short of the portal "NOLANOS?" she looks around the portal wildly, trying to find something in the inky blackness

[4:35 PM] DM: How about some perception checks just to make it fun?

[4:35 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((11))

[4:35 PM] Ravaphine: ((12))

[4:35 PM] DM: Blackness.

[4:37 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "What's that kid think he's doing?!" Urrak runs a hand through her hair, her breath labored by the sprint down the stairs and icy creep of dread down her spine. She turns to Rav "We've gotta go after 'im."

[4:37 PM] Ravaphine: "How could he just do that. He knew what happened to Seirixori," she says while still staring at the darkness

[4:38 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Last I heard ye two we're screwin around with Poni, threatenin' t' take his magic rocks out" she sighs, "Maybe he somehow....gulit tripped Nolanos to go fetch the component Seir located?"(edited)

[4:39 PM] DM: Roll arcana, Rav.(edited)

[4:39 PM] Ravaphine: ((18))

[4:41 PM] Ravaphine: "I didn't...we didn't think he would be this vengeful. But I wouldn't put it past a powerful wizard like Poni. I need to save Nolanos. I feel like it will be my fault if he gets hurt." You can see the gears turning and panic forming in Rav's face

[4:42 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak puts her hands on Ravaphine's shoulders and tries to catch her eyes "Hey, we are gonna save him. I'm not lettin' ye go in there alone." She gives her shoulders a light squeeze "Breathe."(edited)

[4:45 PM] Ravaphine: Rav closes her eyes and steadies her breathing at the contact. "We were fools. This kind of magic is nothing I will ever be able to comprehend, and I know it is Poni's selfish doing for controlling whoever holds him." She looks at Urrak apologetically. "We need to save him. I need to fix this"

[4:46 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "I'm goin' first. Stay behind t'...make sure I'm...y'know alive." Urrak clears her throat awkwardly in an attempt to hide her own concern "Let's do this."

[4:47 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She enters the portal

[4:48 PM] DM: Roll a CON save, Urrak.

[4:48 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((14))

[4:49 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine, not sure what to do, counts to 10 and when she still sees darkness...walks through the portal as well

[4:49 PM] DM: Roll a CON save.

[4:49 PM] Ravaphine: ((20))

[4:49 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Well that didn't feel too nice..." She looks around for signs of Nolanos

[4:50 PM] Ravaphine: "Are you okay?" She whispers as she follows the sound of Urrak's voice

[4:50 PM] DM: You both appear in a hallway, dusty and abandoned. It's collapsed at one end. You don't see Nolanos, but you do see Poni sitting in the dust and a some footprints in the dust.

[4:51 PM] Ravaphine: "Oh no..."

[4:51 PM] DM: Along the wall is a large stone diorama of what seems to be a powerful noble woman in her prime, surrounded by attendants, slaves, and other trappings of wealth and power. A vista of fantastic floating cities covers the wall.

[4:51 PM] Ravaphine: ((can I do a history check to see if I know who or where this is))

[4:52 PM] DM: Sure!

[4:52 PM] Ravaphine: ((12 history))

[4:52 PM] DM: Nope. You don't recognize it. Looks pretty awesome though.

[4:52 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak follows Rav a moment but stops mid stride. She starts to look around the room, looking for a voice "What's that...help...you need...help...Who?"

[4:53 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Rav, Rav did ye hear that?" She sort of stumbles a step "Did ye hear that...voice?"

[4:53 PM] Ravaphine: "What do you hear? I didn't hear anything" Rav says while trying to steady Urrak

[4:54 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "She said she's been trapped here and she...she needs help. Rav, come on, we're wastin' time!" She reaches for Rav's sleeve(edited)

[4:56 PM] Ravaphine: "Urrak please! You don't know if it could be dangerous. What if they're trying to just lure us in. We came here to save Nolanos, not the voices" she says, trying to pull back the half orc

[4:56 PM] DM: Poni's sitting there in the dirt at your feet.

[4:56 PM] Ravaphine: "Remember what Seir said. She also heard the voices and came back very hurt"

[4:57 PM] Ravaphine: She eyes Poni on the ground and is hesitant to pick him up

[4:57 PM] Ravaphine: But picks him up anyway. "Poni, please tell me what happened"

[4:58 PM] DM: Poni: "What do you mean what happened? That scaled simpleton disappeared and dropped me."

[4:58 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Rav come on! Forget that arsehole!"

[4:59 PM] Ravaphine: "Was something attacking him?" ((do the footprints lead anywhere or just disappear))

[5:00 PM] DM: The footsteps go down the hall beyond what you can see in the dark.

Poni: "No? It was just me and him, and me and Candy Cane before that."

[5:01 PM] Ravaphine: "I see." Rav puts poni back in her bag

[5:01 PM] DM: Perception cause I just remembered something.

[5:01 PM] Ravaphine: "Urrak, let's take a minute to just figure out what to do first"(edited)

[5:02 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((17))

[5:02 PM] Ravaphine: ((9 ew))

[5:03 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Why?! We're followin' paw prints not dragon...feet...!" She yells, pointing to the tracks(edited)

[5:06 PM] Ravaphine: "The paw prints are probably just Seirixori's from before wouldn't it be? If Poni was just dropped...maybe nolanos was able to poof out of here. But there's no way of knowing"

[5:06 PM] Ravaphine: "What are the voices telling you? It could be a trap because I don't hear anything"

[5:07 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "How do ye not? It may be a a whisper but it echoes all a'cross this empty place" She looks around again "She...she's been trapped here so long..and she needs me to free her..."

[5:08 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): “What in the...where did they all go?...surely they didn’t...oh no. IDIOTS!” She yells as she steps through the portal.

[5:09 PM] DM: It's super dark and Ryleigh can't see shit.

[5:09 PM] Ravaphine: "I'm so sorry Urrak, I don't hear a thing...maybe we should follow the tracks"

[5:09 PM] Ravaphine: ((do we see Ryleigh))

[5:09 PM] DM: Yes because you both have darkvision.

[5:10 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Ryleigh!" Urrak yells through the darkness

[5:10 PM] DM: She's literally right next to you. lol

[5:10 PM] Ravaphine: Rav casts light on her quarterstaff

[5:10 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((don't do this to me))

[5:11 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Ryleigh, great, you're here."

[5:14 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): “What are you guys doing!? We’re supposed to be going to dinner!”

[5:15 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Nolanos jumped in here like some kinda...idiot."

[5:16 PM] Ravaphine: "NolanosandIhadthegreatideatotakeoutPoni'sbatteriesbutthenhekindofcharmedNolanosintofindingthecomponentbyhimselfandIt'smyfaultifhediescausewecan'tfindhim" Rav says all in one breath

[5:16 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Aye what ah, she said."

[5:18 PM] Ravaphine: "All we found was Poni and some footsteps, but no Nolanos. And Urrak is hearing a woman asking for our help, but I can't hear it. Can you? I'm afraid it's one of those mind tricks again like with the Kraken" She asks Ryleigh

[5:18 PM] Ravaphine: ((can I do an arcana or perception check to see if this place seems cursed or something))(edited)

[5:19 PM] DM: You can, but you can't really sense curses without magic unless they're super powerful.

[5:19 PM] Ravaphine: ((12 arcana to see if anything spoopy is around))

[5:19 PM] DM: Seems like a partially collapsed hallway.

[5:20 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): “Alright, everyone calm down.” She turns to Ravaphine, “we’ll find Nolanos, but I can’t see anything. Let me go first so I light up my shield, you guys stay behind me, hopefully whatever is in here will just see me - it’ll give you guys time to leave, if you need too.”(edited)

[5:21 PM] Ravaphine: Rav casts light on Ryleigh's sheild instead

[5:21 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh smiles, “Thanks.” And moves to the front of the group.

[5:21 PM] Ravaphine: "No. No more solo missions. We need to stay together. If I push Poni, we are all going back"(edited)

[5:22 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Let's get on with it then!"

[5:22 PM] DM: So what Ryleigh sees is some big cat footprints in the dust down the hall. Along the wall is a large stone diorama of what seems to be a powerful noble woman in her prime, surrounded by attendants, slaves, and other trappings of wealth and power. A vista of fantastic floating cities covers the wall.

[5:23 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh walks down the hallway further.

[5:23 PM] Ravaphine: Rav follows

[5:23 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak follows

[5:23 PM] DM: You guys keep walking a short distance, and the hall takes a sharp turn to the left ahead.

[5:26 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh peers around the corner before stepping around it.

[5:26 PM] Ravaphine: ((can I listen for any footsteps or talking/breathing))

[5:27 PM] DM: Perception checks if you want them.

[5:27 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((18))

[5:28 PM] Ravaphine: ((6, crit 1))

[5:28 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): ((8))

[5:29 PM] DM: You guys can see that there's a room that opens up around the corner. You don't hear anything moving.

[5:30 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh moves around the corner and heads down the hallway. ((are we still following Nolanos' boot prints))

[5:30 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine follows behind

[5:31 PM] DM: There are no bootprints. Only tiger pawprints.

[5:32 PM] DM: Shreds of dusty tapestries lie scattered across the floor. Friezes on the walls are defaced with deep gouges, making them unrecognizable. An altar of pale gray marble stands gouged and cracked against one wall.

[5:33 PM] DM: You can also see big white marble slabs that were once doorways, now open on a center hinge. That's probably why Seirixori was pushing on things.

[5:34 PM] DM: In addition, some of the rooms beyond the marble doors have some sort of dim light coming from them.

[5:34 PM] Ravaphine: "I don't see any footprints anymore, just the paw prints...I don't think Nolanos went down this way"

[5:34 PM] Ravaphine: "We just saw Poni on the ground and he says he was dropped. Which means there could be a chance that Nolanos is back in his hometown, I hope"

[5:35 PM] DM: Poni: "Sometimes I miss having eyes just because I want to roll them. I told you. He disappeared. Vanished. Teleported, most likely."

[5:35 PM] Ravaphine: "So what if we just go back to Bellbury and find Nolanos from there?"(edited)

[5:35 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Good, now let's go. She needs help, I told ye!"

[5:36 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh stops dead and turns back to Urrak and Ravaphine, "You're tell me that there's a possibility that Nolanos isn't here? What do you mean someone needs help?"

[5:36 PM] Ravaphine: "Urrak says she hears a voice calling for help. Do you hear her?"

[5:37 PM] Ravaphine: "But also if we leave this place, will we be able to come back for the component..."

[5:37 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): "No?" Ryleigh realizes that something might be off.

[5:38 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh looks at Rav and subtly nods, she then grabs Urrak, "PUSH IT!"

[5:39 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine pulls out poni and hugs both ryleigh and urrak at the same time while pushing the button

[5:39 PM] DM: Roll CON saves.

[5:40 PM] Ravaphine: ((5))

[5:40 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((3, nat 1))(edited)

[5:40 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): ((7))

[5:40 PM] DM: You all take 2 points of force damage... and you do not leave.

[5:41 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "What the FUCK"

[5:41 PM] Ravaphine: "What...what just happened"

[5:41 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh looks around confused, "it didn't work...that's not good"

[5:42 PM] Ravaphine: "Something tells me our friend Poni here doesn't want us to leave"

[5:43 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "What n world are ye tryin' t' pull?" She pulls away, rubbing her arms

[5:43 PM] DM: Poni: "While I'd love to take credit and tell you to find the damn component, that wasn't me."

[5:44 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh ignores Urrak and looks at Poni, "Great, so we're stuck here. Fine. Then lets get the damn thing and leave."

[5:45 PM] Ravaphine: "We can try again, but I don't want us to get hurt more."

[5:46 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh shrugs, "Alright, one more time?"

[5:47 PM] Ravaphine: "Are we sure about this"(edited)

[5:48 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh grabs Urrak again, holds onto the Rav, and says, "push it."

[5:48 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine pushes the button again

[5:49 PM] DM: Roll some more CONs.

[5:49 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): ((16))

[5:49 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((18))

[5:49 PM] Ravaphine: ((6))

[5:49 PM] DM: Rav takes one point of force damage... and you do not leave.

[5:50 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Oi! THAT IS ENOUGH"

[5:50 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine opens her eyes, not realizing they were shut tight

[5:50 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "What in the hells are ye tryin' t' accomplish?"(edited)

[5:51 PM] Ravaphine: "We're just trying to get back to Bellbury"

[5:51 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh sighs in clear frustration, "SERIOUSLY!?" she ignores Urrak's outburst again, looks around the room and through gritted teeth says, "fine, you want us, you got us."

[5:51 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Are the two of ye deaf?"

[5:51 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): She moves further into the room.

[5:52 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak follows

[5:52 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Come on, it's this way..."

[5:53 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((survival?))

[5:53 PM] Ravaphine: Rav follows

[5:53 PM] DM: Sure!

[5:53 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((18))

[5:55 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Come on, come on," Urrak waves the group into the room and follows the tracks "These are Seirixori's."

[5:55 PM] DM: They do go into both rooms.

[5:56 PM] DM: Four stone sarcophagi rest in this room, each bearing the sculpted image of a robed human figure in repose.

[5:56 PM] DM: Perception checks.

[5:56 PM] Ravaphine: ((12))

[5:56 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((1))

[5:56 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): ((19, nat 20))

[5:57 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh walk to the Southeast one and moves it aside.

[5:58 PM] DM: First, a strength check.

[5:58 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): ((14))

[5:58 PM] DM: The sarcophagus rolls aside. A hole drops down from below it into another room below.

[5:59 PM] DM: Meanwhile, from each of the tombs, a specter emerges, howling in fury.

## In the kitchen

[1:38 PM] DM: Outside the main room downstairs are the stairs that go up to the residence part of the mansion, and Kendall's just sitting there at the bottom of them.

[1:39 PM] Seirixori: Seir shifts nervously, "I'm... sorry, I didn't mean to make you leave."

[1:41 PM] DM: She smiles. "Oh, it's no problem, dear. I thought you might like a moment to chat without my old ears listening in. Teasing is one thing. I didn't mean to hit on such a sore spot."

[1:42 PM] Seirixori: She shrugs, "You didn't know. Not many do." She moves to sit down, but stops herself and paces, mumbling to herself.

[1:44 PM] Seirixori: She stops and speaks, quickly, "Can you... remove any curse? Or just some curses? Do you have to know what they are? How do you even figure that out? She's going to kill me."(edited)

[1:45 PM] DM: She kind of just blinks then laughs. "Get yourself in some trouble out there?"

[1:46 PM] DM: Then she stands on about the second or third step and says, "Come over here. It'll make me feel better to actually fix something today."

[1:49 PM] Seirixori: "Maybe?" Seir walks over.

[1:51 PM] DM: She puts her tiny hand on your forehead and says an incantation, and this time, the glow doesn't stop where your skin meets hers. It actually spreads through you and you feel the kind of gross, sickly feeling leave you. She drops her hand.

"Don't make a habit of keeping the truth from her, though. She deserves better than that."

[1:55 PM] Seirixori: "I know." She says sadly, "I... I know. I was going to tell her after dinner. It's already weird..." Seirixori picks Kendall up in a hug. "Thank you."(edited)

[1:57 PM] DM: "Oh! Ok! You're welcome... you can... put me back down though."

[1:57 PM] DM: She's kind of giggling nervously like she has no idea what to do about being picked up by someone so tall.(edited)

[1:59 PM] Seirixori: "Sorry." Seir sets her down.

[4:40 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori sighs heavily, "How much trouble do you think I'm in?"

[4:41 PM] DM: She smiles and sits back down on the step, sliding over so there's space for you if you want it. "Depends on what you were doing and why, I suppose."

[4:42 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori groans and plops onto the step next to her, "I just wanted to know what we were going to get ourselves into tomorrow. I wanted to be more prepared than normal. I just... wasn't expecting... that."

[4:43 PM] DM: "Adventuring's full of surprises and danger, isn't it? Kind of goes with the territory."

[4:45 PM] Seirixori: "I'm starting to understand that, this is... extremely new."

[4:53 PM] DM: "I take it that it wasn't entirely by choice, then."

[4:56 PM] Seirixori: "No," Seir says, visibly angry, but she closes her eyes and takes a breath. "But now I don't want to leave." She turns to face Kendall quickly and changes the subject, "So, you know about myconids?"

[4:57 PM] DM: "Very little. There was a colony in the Underdark beyond the Bastion."

[4:59 PM] Seirixori: "Do you remember the name at all?"

[5:01 PM] DM: She shakes her head. "No... I don't think we talked to them at all."

[5:04 PM] Seirixori: "Oh...h-have you ever heard of the neverlight grove? That's where Stool's from but I don't know where that is and..." Seir stops herself from saying too much again and shrugs. "That's where they were before they took them to the drow prison."(edited)

[5:06 PM] DM: She shrugs. "Sorry. I don't honestly remember much about that trip. It was a long time ago. The Bastion would have good records about what's down there though. Maybe they would know. Just don't-- well, I... never mind."

[5:07 PM] Seirixori: "Don't what?"

[5:08 PM] DM: She frowns a little, debating about whether she's said too much already. "I was going to say that if you were planning to go there, maybe don't take Gunnloda with you."

[5:13 PM] Seirixori: "Oh." Seir tilts her head, thinking, "I'm ... not sure she'd let me go otherwise." Seir laughs dryly,  "I tend to get in trouble easily."

[5:14 PM] DM: "Has she told you about... why she left Dhog Lodir?"

[5:16 PM] Seirixori: "No, not really." Seir shrugs, "I didn't want to push when I asked."

[5:18 PM] DM: She nods. "And she didn't seem... off in the slave pens? Have you been in  any other... do you know what the Underdark is?

[5:24 PM] Seirixori: "I... we were together briefly, and she seemed... well she was acting different towards me and that was... well, different. And no, I don't. Honestly, you can probably assume I know pretty much nothing." The last bit comes out harsher than intended.

[5:30 PM] DM: "Well... it's not really caves, that's like saying the Everstorm is a bit of a drizzle. It's like a whole new world, underground. She hasn't had much issue with caves that go directly to the outside, but... just keep an eye on her if you end up going that way."

[5:32 PM] Seirixori: "Of course I will."

[5:36 PM] DM: She looks at you for a second then smiles. "So... family, huh?"

[5:44 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori's face turns red, "It's been... it's been a long time since anyone has treated me like... like I'm normal." She shrugs, "It's...nice."

[5:47 PM] DM: She tilts her head and really looks at you for a minute. You get the feeling you are being judged. Weighed. "I want you to think about what I'm going to ask. Be honest with yourself... for her sake."

[5:49 PM] DM: "Is your interest in *her*... or is it in feeling better about yourself? If you felt like you had other options, would you still feel the same way?"(edited)

[5:57 PM] Seirixori: Serixori tilts her head, "I didn't mean just her when I meant family. She's just a part of it. I..." Seir closes her eyes and breathes slowly, trying to not let her annoyance show, "I'm not interested in Urrak, or Ravaphine or even Ryleigh or any of them and they've been... mostly just as kind." She opens her eyes and looks at Kendall, "I ... I like her and I know it's barely been a week, if that, but she's just..." Seir trails off, not sure how to finish, "I just really like her." she finishes softly, slightly frustrated that she can't find the words.(edited)

[6:09 PM] DM: Kendall nods. "I just wanted to make sure you know what you're feeling." She smiles a little and puts her hand on your shoulder. "Be good to her. She's my family too."

[6:15 PM] Seirixori: "I may not know a lot, but I know that at least," Seirixori stands and holds out her hand, "I will. Come on, I kind of maybe worried her a little before I bolted."(edited)

[6:16 PM] DM: She lets you help her up and will follow you back.

[6:19 PM] Seirixori: Seir walks back into the kitchen and plops on the floor wherever Stool is.

[6:23 PM] DM: Gunnloda gives you both welcoming smiles as you return. "Everything ok?"

Kendall: "Yep. Moonstreams were still talking, so I didn't want to interrupt."

[6:23 PM] Seirixori: "I might have been cursed for like ten minutes." Seirixori says quickly.

[6:25 PM] DM: Gunnloda looks at you, then over at Kendall. Kendall puts her hands up with a laugh. "I didn't do it."

[6:27 PM] Seirixori: "Might have gone into the portal alone, Ryleigh and Urrak were there to watch!, I just... wanted to be prepared." she mumbles. "But I'm fine, it's fine." She coughs, her face red.(edited)

[6:28 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "They were watching? Where are they now? How did they let you get cursed?"(edited)

[6:30 PM] Seirixori: "Uh... it's really dark and they couldn't really see what happened. I also might have opened something? I... don't actually know, I thought they were coming here, or the cask, but I didn't see them when I got Stool."

[6:32 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "You'd think they'd be caught up by now."

[6:36 PM] Seirixori: Seir sighs, "I thought I was the one that went off on their own." she jokes.

[6:37 PM] DM: Kendall: "Why don't we go take a walk and check on them and let Gunnloda finish up with dinner?"

[6:40 PM] Seirixori: "Sure, and I know an easy way to find them," Seir let's out a little chuckle and grins as she shifts into a dire wolf.

[6:41 PM] DM: She raises her eyebrows and points at you with her thumb as she says to Gunnloda: "I like her."

[6:41 PM] DM: Kendall: "Lead the way!"

[6:43 PM] Seirixori: Seir bounds off outside to find her stupid friends.

[6:44 PM] DM: You check the Cask and the square and find nothing... so you head to Poni's... where you see Ravaphine in the center of the portal with Urrak next to her, both surrounded by kind of glowing purple, spectral ghost-like creatures... and you see one touch Urrak and her face goes pale.

[6:45 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori whimpers and takes a step back.

[6:46 PM] DM: Kendall: "Oh, they look like they've found more trouble than you did."

[6:48 PM] DM: Kendall: "Well... should we go save the day?"

[6:49 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori whines but nods and takes a breath before jumping in.(edited)

[6:20 PM] DM: Ryleigh leaps into the hole... There are murals on the walls decorated with rich pigments and inlays of semiprecious stones. A gilded sarcophagus stands atop a stone bier along the west wall. There, at the corner of the room, you also see the component.(edited)

[6:20 PM] DM: Brysis’s wraith arises when creatures enter the chamber. “Your death will free me from this prison. You will serve me even in your death.”

[6:21 PM] DM: Rav!

[6:23 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh looks at the creature and determinedly says, "I won't be dying today." Then yells up to the others, "GUYS THE COMPONENT IS DOWN HERE, BUT THERE'S A WRAITH HERE TOO!"(edited)

[6:52 PM] DM: With her awesome orc heritage, though, she comes back at 1 hp.

[6:53 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: The chill of death creeps through Urrak, her life force feels completely drained from her. She leans on her sword as her entire body trembles(edited)

[6:54 PM] DM: Before the next specter can act,

[6:54 PM] DM: Seirixori and the robed halfling from before step out of what seems like the wall.

[6:55 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori growls at all of you cuz you're stupid.(edited)

[7:01 PM] Seirixori: Seir moves around everyone and goes to the component.

[7:05 PM] DM: Ok! Kendall steps forward and puts her hand over the symbol on her chest. "Begone!" The wraith and one of the specters saves, and the other three dissipate.

[7:07 PM] DM: Ryleigh!

[7:08 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh moves to the coffin and tries to open it.

[7:08 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): ((18))

[7:12 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh sheathes her axe.(edited)

[7:17 PM] Ravaphine: Rav casts magic missile at the wraith

[7:18 PM] Ravaphine: ((14 dmg))

[7:18 PM] DM: The final specter floats its way down to you.

[7:19 PM] DM: And will attack Ravaphine because she is closest.

[7:19 PM] DM: Roll a CON save.

[7:20 PM] Ravaphine: ((19 con))

[7:20 PM] DM: The specter reaches forward and as its ghostly fingers reach inside you, you take 11 points of necrotic damage, but your hp max is not reduced.

[7:21 PM] DM: Kendall!

[7:23 PM] DM: She will cast Spiritual Weapon at level 4 and create a spectral mace behind it.

[7:27 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((21 attack 16dmg))

[7:33 PM] DM: When you grab the hilt, a blade of pure radiant energy bursts forth.

[7:35 PM] DM: Ryleigh jumps up into the sarcophagus to get an angle and swings the lightsaber down on the wraith for a total of 14 radiant damage.

[7:36 PM] DM: It hisses.

[7:36 PM] DM: Rav!

[7:38 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine sees that Seir has grabbed the component so she yells at everyone to grab onto each other and pushes Poni

[7:42 PM] DM: The specter is going to attack again and Ravaphine falls unconscious, Poni falling from her hand.

[7:43 PM] DM: The specter will attack Urrak instead then.

[7:43 PM] DM: But misses.

[7:43 PM] DM: Kendall will swing with the spectral weapon again, then reach over and cast Spare the Dying on Rav so she's stable and takes no death saves.

[7:48 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She recovers from her swing, her bones feeling as brittle as glass, and swoops down to pick up  Poni

[7:48 PM] DM: Seir!

[7:52 PM] Seirixori: Continuing to grumble Seir drops the component at Kendall's feet and goes to bite the stupid ghost.

[7:53 PM] DM: Seir bites down. Roll damage.

[7:53 PM] Seirixori: ((a lovely 6))

[7:54 PM] DM: It takes 3.

[7:54 PM] DM: Ryleigh! is still gone?

[7:54 PM] DM: I'm gonna make her cure wounds herself.

[7:55 PM] DM: Rav! Is unconscious but does not have to do death saves.

[7:55 PM] DM: The specter will attack the wolf that just bit it.

[7:55 PM] DM: And miss.

[7:55 PM] DM: Kendall... will move her weapon to over Ravaphine and smackadamole.

[7:56 PM] DM: The mace hits and the creature sags in the air.

[8:00 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori just sits and growls.

[8:00 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Let's get the FUCK outta here" Urrak says through labored breaths

[8:02 PM] DM: Investigation!

[8:03 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: ((19))

[8:03 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh sighs in relief, "thank the gods" she then turns to look at the weapon in her hand.

[8:03 PM] DM: There are pouches in the sarcophagus, but they don't have anything in them of substance. However, you find an invisible chest in one corner of the room.

[8:04 PM] DM: Inside, you find 4000 sp, 1200 gp, eleven zircon gems, a magic necklace, a potion in the shape of a heart, and a greater healing potion.

[8:05 PM] DM: There's also a thin gold sheath over the sarcophagus you can peel off if you want to.

[8:05 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak scoops the chest out with all the strength she can muster

[8:05 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): "Urrak, here." Ryleigh walks over and holds the bag of holding open.

[8:05 PM] DM: The sword, Ryleigh, looks like a longsword made of pure radiant energy, but other than that, you'd need to identify or take a short rest with it to learn more.

[8:05 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She dumps arm's contents into the bags "No worries, we'll split it all."

[8:07 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh walks over to halfling, "excuse me, do you have the ability to identify this magical item?"(edited)

[8:09 PM] DM: Kendall shakes her head. "Not today anyway. I'm not much for identifying. Just cleaning up the mess afterwards."

[8:10 PM] DM: She reaches out and heals you for 20 hp.(edited)

[8:11 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori starts pacing, looking at everyone.

[8:11 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Ok...Let's go..."

[8:11 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh smiles, "thank you, I didn't realize how drained I was."

[8:12 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine hugs Kendall. “Thank you so much for saving us. For saving me. Let’s go home, everyone”

[8:12 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Oh wait, shit." Urrak jogs to the hole and attempts to climb

[8:13 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Shit shit shit shit...."

[8:15 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She gets up, grabs her javelin from the floor and drops down again. "Alright...let's get back t' Poni's...I feel like rubbish."

[8:15 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): "I am definitely ready to leave this place."

[8:16 PM] DM: Kendall holds out the component. "I take it this is important somehow?"

[8:16 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Very..."

[8:17 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori stalks over and sits next to Kendall.

[8:17 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): "It'll help us complete the arch and bring back the townspeople. It's also one of the reasons Poni insisted we come here."(edited)

[8:17 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine pets Seir

[8:18 PM] Seirixori: Seir doesn't let you.

[8:18 PM] DM: Kendall scritches your ears. You're taller than she is.

[8:32 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh staggers and falls to her hands and knees. "All that, to find Nolanos and he wasn't even there."

[8:33 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine sits on the ground and hugs her knees. “This is getting too much. The places are getting more terrifying as we go”

[8:33 PM] DM: After a few minutes, you all feel a burst of healing energy and you all regain 22 hp.

[8:34 PM] Seirixori: Seir's still breathing heavily, "Why does no one lisTEN TO ME?!" Seirixori yells, her form shifting back into the dire wolf and she snarls before taking off.

[8:35 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Please...no yelllin'" Urrak rolls over to her side

[8:36 PM] DM: Kendall watches Seir leave. "She do that often?"

[8:36 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Yes..."

[8:37 PM] Ravaphine: “It’s not like it was for naught. We needed to find the component regardless. But we need to stay together as a team”

[8:37 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak struggles to stand a bit, as she's still getting used to her new armor, but eventually she does.

[8:38 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh stands and walks up the basement stairs but calls down, "we have a dinner to attend soon, we should get ready." and heads to the Cask.(edited)

[8:39 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "A'course...dinner." Urrak walks up the stairs, her insides feel as hallow as a fresh grave

[8:39 PM] DM: Kendall: "Gunnloda's got some great stuff cooking. It'd be a shame to be late."

[8:40 PM] Ravaphine: She sighs. “I completely forgot about dinner. I hope we aren’t late” Rav gets up to go to the cask to clean herself up

[8:40 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak meets with the rest of the party in the cask

[8:40 PM] Ravaphine: “Should we bring a pie? Flowers?”

[8:41 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "What do ye bring to a funeral?" Urrak asks grimly(edited)

[8:41 PM] Ravaphine: “Not pie I suppose”

[8:42 PM] DM: Kendall: "Ha! No, she's got it covered. She'd accept any gift graciously, but it's not expected or desired."

[8:42 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine looks for some flowers to pick to bring to the dinner table

[8:43 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak finds a seat at the bar. "Ready when ye are."

[8:44 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Hopefully Moonstream Manor has soft chairs..."

[8:45 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak smiles down at her "I hope yer right..."

[8:46 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine makes her way to the bar and pours two drinks. One for herself and one for Urrak. “It’s on the house,” she says with a small smile before consuming the entire pint

[8:47 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak chuckles, she goes to take a large gulp as she usually does but chokes a bit and slows down

[8:49 PM] Ravaphine: “Take it easy there. I’d much rather have you alive, please. You did great down there to help our team”

[8:49 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Best I could do, I suppose..."(edited)

[8:51 PM] DM: Kendall cliiiimbs her way up to a stool. "We had a half-orc fighter too. Gal named Tematur. From Vatru, bit different coloration than you."

[8:52 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "We come in a few shades" she chuckles "I hope I'm at least half as good as her."

Kendall smiles. "You'll get there. Takes a few scuffles to really find out what you're worth.

[8:52 PM] Ravaphine: Ravaphine slides over to Kendall and starts wiping down a glass. “Anything I can get for you?” she says, pretending to be a bartender

[8:53 PM] DM: Kendall: "No thanks... Gunnloda's cooking is worth savoring with every tastebud, not just the sober ones."

[8:54 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Y'ain't wrong" Urrak finishes her glass

[8:57 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak heads upstairs to change out of her platemail and into her studded  leather armor. She smooths her hair out and walks back downstairs "Hot in all that steel nonsense"(edited)

[8:59 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh walks down the stairs wearing common clothes, her hair is down from its usual braid.

[9:00 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak turns towards her, dropping her mostly empty pint glass as she sees her new look "Oh...wow."

[9:01 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh walks over the rest of the group, "wait...are you guys just wearing your armor?...I..am I overdressed?"

[9:03 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She quickly bends to pick up her flagon "Oh uh...no I don't think so." She looks a bit to the left of Ryleigh "It''s just...fancy Orc dress is uh...generally frowned upon. It's probably the exposed uh...bosom y'know." Urrak's cheeks turn a bit pink(edited)

[9:06 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh smiles at Urrak, "I think people should wear what they're comfortable wearing. And if thats armor for you, than wear it."

[9:06 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak nods "Aye, aye yer right." she places her hands on her hips "Ok...we should go."

[9:09 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh gestures toward the door and smiles broadly, "After you?"

[9:10 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak walks out the door and towards the mansion

[9:11 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh follows.

[9:13 PM] DM: You go inside. There's a door to the side that leads to the kitchens. The Moonstreams aren't down from upstairs yet, but you can probably guess dinner will be in the big open room where the two long tables are with Eloise's desk.

[9:14 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Do ye see Seir? She walked off ahead of us...she should be here by now." Urrak heads into the dining area(edited)

[9:15 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh looks around the hall, "maybe we should check the kitchens? That's where her lover is, no?"(edited)

[9:18 PM] DM: The door to the kitchen is open.

[9:18 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Her what now?" Urrak calls out, just catching the faintest hint of her question

## Seir's escape

She'll just pace in the grove for a few then go back to the mansion and just sit with Gunnloda and Stool

[8:48 PM] DM: K. She's in there just putting the finishing touches on the dishes. It's a nice big five course meal, a roast, some veggies, fresh bread.

[8:55 PM] Seirixori: Seirixori goes up to her and kneels just hugging her from behind, taking a few calming breaths. "Hey."

[8:56 PM] DM: She pats your hand. "Hi. Did you find them? Everything ok?"

[9:01 PM] Seirixori: "We found them. Yes." She sighs. "I'm... actually really glad you guys were still here. I... I don't think anything would have been fine."

[9:06 PM] DM: She leans so she can look at you over her shoulder. "But it is? Everyone made it out ok?"

[9:07 PM] Seirixori: "Yes, yeah, Kendall was a huge help with that." Seir sighs heavily again, "They didn't listen..." she mumbles.

[9:09 PM] DM: Gunnloda sets her spoon down and spins around to hug you back. "I'm glad you're ok." After a moment she pulls back and smiles. "This is a much more comfortable height. You are very tall."

[9:16 PM] Seirixori: Seir grins her face a little red and gives her a kiss, "It does make some things easier."

[9:19 PM] DM: They are totally standing there in the middle of the kitchen, Seir on her knees, kissing and hugging when you look inside.

[9:19 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak walks into the kitchen "Ah...hello Seir."(edited)

[9:20 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh follows Urrak, "see, I was right." gestures to the two(edited)

[9:21 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "That ye were..."

[9:22 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh seems completely unfazed by the entire situation.

[9:22 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak nervously looks away, blushing slightly

[9:22 PM] Seirixori: Seir's blushing and tries to hide her face, "ugh, hi."

[9:22 PM] DM: When Gunnloda realizes they have an audience, she blushes deep red, but barely moves away. "I hear you got into some trouble? Everything ok, dears?"

[9:23 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "We were uh...just lookin for ya...and it should be, yeah. Hopefully...."

[9:24 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh smiles at the pair, "We apologize for interupting. And for the most part we got back in one piece." She places a hand on Urrak's shoulder, "do you need any help in the kitchen Gunnloda?"

[9:25 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "No, actually everything's pretty much done here. I was just waiting to bring it out."

[9:26 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak blushes a bit deeper. "Great let's uuuh get t' dinner then."

[9:26 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She speedwalks out of the room

[9:26 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): "Would like help doing that then? Or would you rather we take our seats?" Ryleigh looks concerned for Urrak and mumbles, "she's being odd..."

[9:27 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Thank you, but I think I've got it handled."

[9:28 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh gives a slight bow and leaves the kitchen.

[9:32 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Well... that was something."

[9:34 PM] Seirixori: "Mhm." Seirixori mutters, "You know I'm gonna help you anyway, right?" she grins, standing.

[9:36 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "It's the only way I don't kick you out of my kitchen."

[9:50 PM] Seirixori: Seir just grins and leans down to kiss her again, "If you say so."

[9:51 PM] DM: She smiles. "You can take those two trays and find us seats. I'll bring the rest."

[9:53 PM] Seirixori: Seir gives a small salute and takes them and heads out.

[9:30 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak is already seated at the farthest table(edited)

[9:30 PM] DM: Kendall's sitting in a chair next to Urrak.

[9:31 PM] DM: There are two long tables in the room.

[9:32 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh takes the other seat next to Urrak and bluntly asks, "does affection make you uncomfortable?"

[9:32 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "E-Excuse me?"

[9:34 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): "Your face seems to redden whenever others kiss or embrace."

[9:34 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "I was married fer 7 years, Ryleigh. I'm not afraid of...affection."(edited)

[9:35 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "I suppose it's just...well ye look very nice t'night. That's all."

[9:35 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She looks away "And y'gotta admit, it's awkward seein yer friends in an...intimate moment." she motions in a general forward direction, waving her hand around in a tight circle.(edited)

[9:38 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh quirks an eyebrow, "I suppose it could be awkward, but intimacy between lovers is perfectly natural and shouldn't make you feel uncomfortable." She pauses in thought, "and thank you for the compliment."

[9:40 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: "Y-yer welcome." a couple beads of sweat form on her forehead. "I'm...very happy fer Seir."

[9:44 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh laughs at Urrak, "Lighten up. I apologize for making you uncomfortable, it wasn't my intention - if it had been, you'd be a babbling mess."(edited)

[9:45 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: Urrak was taking a sip of provided water and nearly choked  on it as Ryleigh uttered her last sentence. "I see..." she coughs(edited)

[9:52 PM] DM: Kendall: "I'm almost out of spells for the day, love. Don't die now."

[9:52 PM] Urrak D'Akshi - Half-Orc Fighter: She coughs a bit but gives the "Ok" hand sign to Kendall(edited)

[9:54 PM] Ryleigh (Nicole): Ryleigh looks perplexed by the exchange.
