"Bring it down, Victor, so I can cut its head off." Grizel says through gritted teeth. She puts the javelin away and takes up her sword again.

You are as useful to us as when you attacked us! Victor shouts, trying to keep his concentration on keeping the beast suspended.
Nov 23, 2015 9:42 pm
"What good to us are you alive?" I ask as I prepare another bolt.
Nov 23, 2015 9:49 pm
"I know Ravenloft's walls! Just tell me what it is you seek!"
Nov 23, 2015 9:55 pm
With that, and despite Grizels command Victor keeps his focus and keeps the creature suspended, unable to grapple anything. We seek Strahm, or Strag, or... What was his name? I'm sorry it's hard to keep this up and remember things. Gretchen, what are we here for again?, Victor half-cocks his head towards Grizel, while not losing sight of the floating creature.

I respond with a growl "If you serve Strahd, then no good can come of you." I look to my companions, unsure if I should unleash a magical attack at the creature.

"If we don't kill you, then what? We'll come to regret sparing your life, as you seem unlikely to be restrained in turn." I sheathe the crossbow I am holding- now loaded- pick up the one on the floor and put a bolt into it.

"We've come t' destroy Strahd, an' monsters like him!" Grizel spits out in response to Victor's question. "Can't 'ave 'em messin wit' our heads wit' promises and whatnot." Grizel shakes her head. She's glad she hasn't spoken any of her musings on power and ruling out loud.

I couldn't agree more Gretchen, m'dear, Victor says as he drops his concentration and conjures up another spell.

Magic missile the creature from my last 3rd level slot. EDIT: Total 18 force damage.

"Mercy!" she screams in shrill voice as she topples through the air, struck simultaneously by 5 white bullets. Bones crack as she reaches the floor.

As Faelor hesitates Grizel strides over to the foul creature "Mercy? Mercy's not mine t' give. Tell us where Strahd is before my blade sends ye to th' gods an' maybe they'll see fit t' send ye to a lesser hell." Grizel raises her sword, and strikes...

"Downstairs!!" She screams before the blow. The glimmer in her eye begins to fade, but she wakes suddenly, squeezing her muscles and immediately closing the wound, which seals like a pair of fleshy gums. Standing up, she ducks and dives (Dodge action) 15ft towards the altar and Faelor.

Grizel may take an AoO (attacks this turn are at disadvantage whilst she is dodging)

Grizel is startled when the creature knits itself together and moves, but reacts just as quickly.

Zinnarath rushes to the creature, who is now focused on blocking and dodging every strike, but she catches the rapiers in her leathery hands with dangerous precision, throwing them back and nearly unbalancing Zinnarath.

Ireena sees her opportunity and launches her precious dagger at the creature from range. It clatters against one of the rapiers as the creature deflects the melee attacks.

(Victor and Faelor may act, and then Grizel's turn will take effect)

Rolls

Ireena throws dagger (disadv.) - (1d20+5, 1d20+5)

1d20+5 : (7) + 5 = 12

1d20+5 : (6) + 5 = 11

Victor lobs another volley of missiles, but is only able to conjur four this time. He huffs and puffs as he struggles to keep pace. It's been too long since his last battle.

OOC. Another 18 force damage. For the tally I'm out of third level slots.

The creature is winded and only lets out a whisp of breath to utter "Masterrrr....!"

On this, she hits the floor. Seconds later, she dissolves into dust, her clothing only partially disintegrating.

Grizel, Victor, Zinnarath, and Grizel gain 450exp each.

Ireena is the first to step towards the pile, passing Zinnarath and picking up her dagger.

"Poor soul. May you find rest in oblivion."

For a recap: a valuable but apparently unmagical silver icon stands on the altar by the body of a blackened, dead cleric. The scene looks peaceful, and a mysterious stream of light passes through the stained-glass windows and touches his body and the idol.

The furniture here is all ruined and it appears that nothing valuable would have been left around. The ceiling is too high to see, but a small balcony can be seen high in the air above the entrance doors. It might be hard to get to from here.

Two other exits can be seen either side of the room. Zinnarath walked a little way up the top staircase which folds in on itself. The other is a spiral which goes up or down.

"Now we know where to find him." I sheathe my swords and retrieve my crossbow before walking up to the altar beside Faelor, "Any idea what this is about?" I nod towards the body, and note the holy symbol.
Dec 1, 2015 9:25 am
"I know this symbol, at least - it is similar to the symbol of holy light that was stolen from my father before he died. He said it offered great protection against the vampyres. It was only after the theft that the attacks started."

She points to the stylised carving of a silver sun at the base of the statue, from which a generic figure of some nonspecific deity emerges.
