Session 1: Make contact with Bhjurba's Den

Everyone can easily tell that Yujo is making up the story about Caulder, especially since there was an ooze down here.

Yrsa is able to discern a little about Yujo's personality as well. It seems like she's the 'Only the strong survive' type, and mostly only cares about her own survival. You reckon that she allowed herself to get imprisoned down here because it was safer, but now wants to leave due to whatever Caulder has been doing.

Something tells me the lovely family reunion we've been tasked with won't be as cordial, or cooperative, Yrsa thinks, sending these thoughts to the others. I am not sure this breakout will be as easy as we first believed, if Tarl's sister proves to be an obstacle.

Jan 4, 2017 11:54 am

The party stands in silence as the guards make their way into the main dungeon, and it sounds like a few more are coming down as well. Yujo gives everyone a serious stink-eye from where she stands in the office, next to Leak. Seems like she's saying 'Don't screw this up for me!'.

"You three? What in the gods happened in here?"

Jan 4, 2017 5:13 pm

Yrsa sheathes her scimitar and begins to coil her whip. "We came to investigate Caulder's disappearance, when we happened upon this scene. Look for yourselves." She indicates the empty cells.

"What do you me- oh GOD! Er... What's that massive pool of slime?"

As the first guard shoves the slaves back in their cell, the second pokes around at the dead ooze.

"It's dead, uh, I think. We don't have an ooze problem, they only live in deep caves. We definitely didn't let any oozes down here."

Yujo stammers in order to edit her story.

"Caulder created it to help the slaves slip between the bars!"

The second guard rubs his chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm, I guess they could've snuck jugs of it down here with the meals. Explains why Leak never let us down here."

OOC:

You guys already know Yujo is lying, so no need to roll insight.

Leilara Thistlefeather

Jan 8, 2017 1:19 pm

Behind the guards' backs, Leilara mouths at her allies.

"HIT... GUARDS... NOW?"

Jan 9, 2017 7:48 pm

Yrsa spits, and folds her arms across her chest. "The ooze came in from back there," she says, indicating further down the hall. "You'll see the hole it used up on the ceiling." Having not fully inspected the area where she first saw the ooze, Yrsa's true purpose is to divert the guards' attentions away from the party.

When they are distracted, we'll hit them, Yrsa's thoughts transcribe in the minds of her companions. Tarl's sister may not be cooperative and may betray us, but we should at least free the children.

Deception - (1d20+4)

Magnus readies himself to attack as soon as Yrsa gives the signal.

Rolls

1d20+5 : (18) + 5 = 23

Jan 10, 2017 10:52 am

Once most of the prisoners are back in the cell, the two guards inspect the wall. They begin searching the wall with their torches. The other two, along with Yujo and Leak, are in the main office area.

"A hole in the ceiling? I feel a draft, but I don't see anything. Are you sure?"

Completely believing Yrsa's lie, they keep searching the wall for any hole that the ooze could have come from.

OOC:

You can all get a free attack, and then combat will start afterwards.

Jan 10, 2017 3:45 pm

Yrsa transfers her Hex upon the guard closest to the party, cursing the man's agility and dexterity. She maneuvers herself back towards the door in case the guards in the other room enter (not wishing to leave Leilara exposed), then draws her weapons and unleashes a blast of eldritch power at the man she targeted.

Magnus lashes out at the nearest guard.

OOC:

Leilara Thistlefeather

Leilara reaches out with a suddenly electrified hand.

OOC:

Advantage on the attack if they have metal armor, and they can't take reactions on hit either.

(18) + 6 = 24

Jan 11, 2017 12:00 pm

Magnus cleanly kills the female guard with a slash of his sword. The male guard ducks out of the way from Yras's eldritch blast, but gets electrocuted by Leilara's shocking grasp.

The male guard and the two other guards in the main office are still alive.

OOC:

Yrsa, roll initiative for the party!

OOC:

Sorry, been busy with work. Combat order:
-Guards
-Yujo
-Party

The male guard swivels around at the sounds of combat, and attacks Magnus after seeing him pull his sword from the female guard's body. However, Magnus easily deflects the spear thrust.

The two guards to the rear raise their crossbows and fire at Yrsa. One bold grazes Yrsa's arm, while the other embeds itself painfully into her leg.

Yujo moves to the back of the office, behind the guards. She pulls out a dagger (probably took it off Leak) and bides her time while the two guards reload their crossbows.

OOC:

Party's move!

Jan 14, 2017 5:43 pm

Yrsa hobbles forward to the male guard, grimacing as the pain in her leg shoots up her spine. She pirouettes to bring both blade and whip across the man.

Rolls

Easily parrying the sloppy thrust of the guard's spear, Magnus shoves the weapon out wide, stepping up close to the guard and stabs his blade towards the man's stomach.

Rolls

Magnus's and Yrsa's combined attacks kill the male guard. It's overkill, really. Two of Bhjurba's men remain in the back office.

Leilara Thistlefeather

Jan 15, 2017 4:05 pm

Leilara fires off a small tongue of flame as she moves away from melee range.
