Session 1: Make contact with Bhjurba's Den

Kalimonsore realising that these where not creatures he could communicate with and as one attacked Magnus but missed and was caught with a swift sword slice, Kali could feel himself haunch over and he fell to his knees, the black robes he wore began to transform into a thick white fur and the groans from the White dragonborn became more growls as he shifted into a snarling wolf, the now wolf form Kali pounced towards the now bleeding ankheg, the White wolf showing off its sharp canines at this giant bug infront of it

Leilara stares at the wolf.

"Coooooooool."

OOC:

As someone who DMs several games on here, I don't suggest waiting for the DM handoff (unless there's some specific result that's going to have an effect on your actions). It adds a lot of work onto the DMs shoulders and slows things down quite a bit.

Handle may feel differently, of course. This has just been my experience since PbP games are slow as it is.

OOC:

Okay then!

Leilara scrunches up her face as she moves a bit further back from the voracious bug creatures. She closes her eyes in concentration as her hair goes from lilac to a brilliant red. "Hey bugs! Leave us alone!" From the tips of her fingers, a small tongue of flame shoots toward the monsters as she casts Fire Bolt.

OOC:

Ugh... why rolls whyyyyy

Fire Bolt (Ranged Spell Attack) - (1d20+6)

OOC:

Yes, Naatkinson is correct. You don't gotta wait for my hand off. I'm over in Korea, so by the time I can post you'll probably be asleep!

I'll probably switch to 100% block initiative, just so we don't have to wait on turns to post our attacks

Leilara's spell shoots wildly off course into a sand dune, causing a small explosion that throws sand in the air.

Yrsa is next!

Mar 17, 2016 11:35 pm

"Mind its acid!" Yrsa warns, keeping her distance. She mumbles a few words as she stares at the large ankheg by Magnus, afflicting a Hex upon it before unleashing an Eldritch Blast of arcane energy.

OOC:

Bonus action to cast Hex, choosing Strength as the ankheg's disadvantage on ability checks.

Rolls

Agonizing Eldritch Blast - (1d20+6, 1d10+4)

As Yrsa casts her spell, she manages to tap into a power deep within her - maybe because she hasn't been this close to the ocean in a while. An image flashes in her mind: a writhing mass of tentacles crushing her enemies with their powerful, unearthly grip. Instead of an single blast she manages to fire off three, no, four beams of crackling energy!

The magical blasts tear through the aggressive Ankheg, scattering its legs and feelers across the sand. What is left of the monster's thorax collapses in a pile of green goo, and the sand turns dark as it absorbs moisture. Ankheg #2 has perished.

The remaining Ankheg grabs what is left of the meat Kalimonsore offered, and burrows back under the sand. It looks as though it has retreated for now.

Combat is over. Each member of the party gets 150 XP for routing the enemy, as well as good role-play.

Mar 18, 2016 12:22 pm

Kalimonsore in wolf form sniffs around the green bubbling acidic goo, the wolf making sure he doesn't touch it before heading over to where the ankheg had burrowed, the beast unsure where this creature has gone or if it'll come back before heading back to the group, Kali began to quietly groan and wince as the fur transformed from due to cloth and scale as he stay there on hands and knees in the sand, he looks up and speaks, transforming for Kali didn't seem so straight forward for him as other Druids, he spoke almost catching his breathe

"I don't know...what that was..."

He leant up now with on his knees

"Or what you did...but we should...keep moving"

Kali got to his feet, his breathing slowly returning to normal as the cold tinge to his breathe returns, he brushes off the sand from his hands and knees and wherever else it may have gotten into

Mar 18, 2016 1:31 pm

Leilara stares at her hands and shakes them as if they are malfunctioning implements and she's trying to fix them despite a lack of technical expertise.

"Still not working right... " She sighs. "I agree, my shapeshifting friend. Let's move. I don't want that other one to come back."

Magnus looks at Yrsa with a new respect, "Well done! We'd best be moving on," he says as he inspects his armor where the beast tried to get him. Satisfied that it seems to be intact he will follow along with the group.

Yrsa secures her scimitar and whip, then settles her loose robes once again. She nods to Magnus wordlessly as shallow breaths escape from her makeshift head wrap, her amethyst eye slightly wide.

She busies herself with her pack, and says in a hoarse voice, "Good work, dragonborn. Distracting that second monstrosity may have saved us from a protracted battle."

Mar 18, 2016 8:18 pm

"Lucky you mean, I threw some food, Magnus went toe to toe with it, Leilara shot some spell at it and you did whatever you did, I think we all played a part"

Kalimonsore nodded, he really did get lucky tho, he tried to calm a acid spitting monster with food instead of readying himself to fight it

Mar 18, 2016 8:24 pm

"Sometimes not fighting can be the best method of attack," says Yrsa. "And luck is always welcome. If you didn't deduce that those creatures were hungry for our flesh, the fates smiled upon your decision."

Yrsa turns to the halfling as she prepares to continue the trek. "Leilara, are you all right?"

Magnus Del'thor

"It was good fortune all around. It's always good fortune when you survive any battle," Magnus says.

Mar 18, 2016 8:36 pm

Leilara flashes a quick grimace at Yrsa after moving some red hair out of her face. "Same as ever I'm afraid, but with worse aim." She shifts into an actual grin. "Don't worry, my pride's more injured than anything!"

Aside from the relentless sun and the razor sharp winds, the rest of the day's travel goes on without any major incident. The sun is setting fast, and it would be wise to find somewhere to camp for the night.

Mar 18, 2016 10:51 pm

Yrsa calls over for a look at Leilara's map to see how close the group is to the indicated camp site.

Survival - (1d20+1)
