Group 1, Episode 1: Greenest in Flames

[ravenn4544]

Bren raises a dark eyebrow. "How does what work exactly? How does it work being whatever your are?"

He sits back and considers a song. He things of his village and the productive and serene time spent there. It was hard work, but everyone did their part for the good of the village. A happy time. He thinks of his fathers last words to him and the quest he was set upon...

A melancholy song comes unexpectedly. Bren sings.

"Never wanted to leave..... never wanted - to leave.."

[dmw71]

Temple?
Tannaris awakens and is very appreciative of the efforts taken to save him. He winces as he tests the functioning of his extremities to make sure he's still in working order. After his test is successful, he takes a moment to tap into his fighter resolve, refocusing his mind, shifting out the pain. While still slightly hampered, he feels largely restored and shrugs off the question of whether he needed to remain behind. "You may not see it, but my arcane magics actually keep me fairly well protected," he responds to Oskar, who expressed concern over his seeming lack of protection. "Those damn kobolds just got lucky -- three times."

"Lets get going then," Strega says. "We have important work to do." Oskar and Tannaris both nod their agreement, and the group in the keep starts off -- but is intercepted by Governor Nighthill. "Am I to assume you're heading to the temple, to rescue Father Falconmoon?"

"I just need to know if I need to arrange for another party."



Back at the tunnel, the group entertains themselves with some quiet songs, requested by Rumble, and performed by Bren. They continue to keep an eye on the smaller, dancing flames, which continue to move. The larger fire maintains its size.



After confirming their intentions with Governor Nighthill, Strega, Oskar, and Tannaris set back to the tunnel in order to return to their awaiting companions.


Maybe 10 minutes later, those that stayed behind at the tunnel exit hear a sound coming from behind them and take defensive precautions, but quickly learn that the source of the noise are their returning companions. "Good to have you back," they offer Tannaris, whose condition has greatly improved from the time they last saw him.

Rumble, the first to notice the distant fires, points them out to the returning party members. "We've been tracking them, but there's been very little change," he offers.



"So, where to?"

Just let me know how you reply to Governor Nighthill before leaving the keep. Then, what are your next plans?

      • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
      • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
      • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
      • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

      • Others spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can’t decipher it without magic.
    • 2nd: Wild Shape: 2
      • Recovery: Short
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
      • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
        Beast Shapes (Forest )
        • 2nd
          • Max. CR: 1/4
          • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
          • Example: Wolf
        • 4th
          • Max. CR: 1/2
          • Limitations: No flying speed
          • Example: Crocodile
        • 8th:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
        • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
        • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
        • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
        • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
        • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
    • 2nd: Druid Circle (Circle of Dreams)
      • Circle of Dreams Features
        • 2nd: Balm of the Summer Court
          • Fey Energy Pool (d6): 2, 1, 0 (Druid Level)
          • As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less.
          • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
          • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.
          • The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.
            Recovery: Long

    Background: Hermit
    • Feature: Discovery (Details)
      • The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

      • Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
        
        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and peopl

    Background: Guild Artisan / Guild Merchant
    • Feature: Guild Membership
      • As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
        
        Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.
        
        You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.

[Rex]

I think we should try to rescue Father Falconmoon.

Quaalxor

I'm fine with whichever choice the three of you make


Tannaris, glad to see you back up and ready to go. So folks, what do we do now?

[Gerrin]

Tannaris Vethykos

Tannaris nods and smiles briefly. He readied himself as his companions gathered themselves to prepare another foray.

[drpete]

Oskar

Oskar nods to Governor Nighthill. "We'll do our best, sir. Good luck, here. "

[ravenn4544]

Bren also is open for any of the options presented.

[Rex]

Strega

"We will rescue the good Father." Strega heads for the tunnel with renewed vigor.

[dmw71]

Temple Under Siege
The group is reunited at the end of the tunnel, near the exit. Strega, Oskar, and Tannaris share Governor Nighthill's request -- to check out the temple and ensure Father Falconmoon's safety. This request especially appeals to Bren, as he previously indicated an interest in seeking out the temple as he has sway there, and should be able to secure the group some healing.

The temple, which is located in the same general area of the fires identified by Rumble, might very well be under attack, or siege, or other such threat.

The group exits the tunnel, cross the stream, and follows the other side of the stream, between it and the cover of trees, for several hundred feet as it slowly wraps northeast to southeast. As you near the temple, and prove definitively the flames are indeed from your planned destination, you cut in, making your way through the cover:

Temple.jpg (191.01 KiB) Viewed 1222 times

The temple is surrounded.

The first group, at the front door (red), consists a pair of cultists, a half dozen kobolds, and one larger individual wearing black leather armor. The cultists are handling a ram, working to gain entry through the front portal while the kobolds appear to be standing guard.

The second group, (purple), is a large, mixed group consisting of almost a dozen kobolds, a few cultists, and a pair of powerful four-legged, scaled creatures on leashes. This large procession is circling the temple, from outside its outer stone wall, taking approximately eight minutes to complete a full circle, or about two minutes per side.

The third group, (green), at the rear door, is made up of a pair of cultists and maybe a half dozen kobolds. They're clustered tightly around the temple’s back door, carrying torches, but they appear to be producing more smoke than flame as prodigious clouds of thick smoke are beginning to engulf the back of the temple and blanket the surrounding area.

      • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

      • Recovery: Short
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
      • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
        Beast Shapes (Forest )
        • 2nd
          • Max. CR: 1/4
          • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
          • Example: Wolf
        • 4th
          • Max. CR: 1/2
          • Limitations: No flying speed
          • Example: Crocodile
        • 8th:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
        • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
        • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
        • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
        • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
        • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

          • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
          • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.

It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
        
        Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.
        
        You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.

Quaalxor

I think we should move to quickly attack the group at the front door. They're trying to break in, and we can buy the Temple folks time there, and if successful we'll be able to get them out, while holding back the patrol and those at the back.

[Rex]

Strega

Whispering "No the front door group is off limits per the mayor. We need to sneak closer and attack the back door group once the patrol is on the opposite side."

Strega starts to sneak through the woods to try to get as close to the back door group as possible. Being extra alert for anything that could cause a problem they haven't already identified.

Stealth [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20

Perception [1d20+4] = 16+4 = 20

[ravenn4544]

Bren waits for the group to focus on an invading group before he fires.

[drpete]

Oskar

Oskar advances stealthily, hoping to take the group in the rear by surprise.

When he gets close, he will try to stab one of the cultists with his rapier from hiding.

Stealth: [1d20+4] = 13+4 = 17
Rapier Sneak attack: [1d20+4] = 16+4 = 20 (adv?) [1d20+4] = 13+4 = 17 Damage: [1d8+2] = 1+2 = 3 (Sneak Attack?) [1d6] = 2

[Gerrin]

Tannaris Vethykos

Tannaris follows a short distance behind so his attempt at moving quietly doesn't ruin the chances of the other's sneaking closer

[Ahlmzhad]

Quaalxor

Waits and gives those wanting to sneak in and attack their chance.

[Monsieur Rose]

Rumble

Rumble approves of this plan.
He waits and watches Oskar sneak up, pulling a javelin as he does so. He will throw the javelin at the other cultist as soon as Oskar stabs his victim.

Javelin: [1d20+4] = 9+4 = 13
Damage: [1d6+2] = 2+2 = 4

[dmw71]

Rear Entrance
From the place of concealment, Strega reminds Quaalxor's that the figure appearing to be the leader present at the front door should take that option off the table. Instead, after spending a few more minutes, timing the passing of the circling patrol, the group makes their move on the smaller force at the rear exit once it's safe.

Everyone is stealthy enough to emerge from the forest cover and reach the small stone wall, which will be easy enough to overcome, but short enough, in the cover of darkness, to supply ample cover for the time being.

Once everyone is in place, evenly spaced, Oskar hops the wall and, moving quickly and silently, manages to reach the nearest cultist (red) and stick the pointy edge of his rapier into his side. The cultist screams in pain as the rogue applies the extra bit of trained damage upon his surprised victim!

At nearly the same time, Rumble hurls a javelin which clips the right side of the opposite cultist (blue), who also roars out in pain... and anger.

Strega, not noticing anything unexpected surprises, creeps forward and readies herself for the ensuing conflict while Quaalxor, Bren, and Tannaris peer over the wall, almost entirely out of sight, but

The element of surprise is over, and the presence of at least half the party is now known, as the raiding group halts their attempts at gaining access through the rear door and turns to face their attackers.

      • Recovery: Short
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
      • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
        Beast Shapes (Forest )
        • 2nd
          • Max. CR: 1/4
          • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
          • Example: Wolf
        • 4th
          • Max. CR: 1/2
          • Limitations: No flying speed
          • Example: Crocodile
        • 8th:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
        • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
        • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
        • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
        • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
        • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

          • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.
          • The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

    Background: Hermit
    • Feature: Discovery (Details)
      • The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
        
        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and peopl

      • As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
        
        Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.
        
        You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.
