The Changing Hunt

The door creaks open slowly and continuously, and as you wait, several of you leverage your attacks against the toad-like slaads attempting to get you all.

Gunnar and Mrak miss their targets, and these two heroes swing at the exact moment of a weird disturbance in the floating gravity field that somehow has grabbed the two enemy creatures.

Ghillie utilizes his fungal spores in a strange way, and Alin leverages some devastating attacks on one of the red slaadi.

Both red slaadi attempt to hit our heroes; they can't quite reach the heroes with their maws, but their claws are able. Gunnar gets hit twice (taking 14 slashing damage), and Mrak gets hit once by sharp dark claws (taking 4 slashing damage)

As they attempt their attacks, Kevin launches a very effective attack on one of them.

The green slaad throws some flames at Alin, seeing the effectiveness of the rogue, and hits him once (delivering 7 fire damage).

Raelyn tries again to pry the door open more, and he squeezes through the door, just barely, but scratches his stomach as he squeezes through.

Red Slaad A vs. Mrak (multi-attack) + (con save) - (1d20+6, 1d8+3, 1d20+6, 1d8+3, 1d20+2)

1d20+6 : (9) + 6 = 15

1d8+3 : (5) + 3 = 8

1d20+6 : (19) + 6 = 25

1d8+3 : (1) + 3 = 4

1d20+2 : (17) + 2 = 19

Red Slaad B vs. Gunnar (multi-attack) + (con save) - (1d20+6, 1d8+3, 1d20+6, 1d8+3, 1d20+5)

1d20+6 : (17) + 6 = 23

1d8+3 : (4) + 3 = 7

1d20+6 : (10) + 6 = 16

1d8+3 : (4) + 3 = 7

1d20+5 : (2) + 5 = 7

Green Slaad hurl flames vs. Alin (multi-attack) - (1d20+4, 3d6, 1d20+4, 3d6)

1d20+4 : (17) + 4 = 21

3d6 : (412) = 7

1d20+4 : (8) + 4 = 12

3d6 : (322) = 7

The slaad's claw scrapes Mrak's forearm. He looks at the trickle of blood that wells up and grins. He pulls an amulet shaped like a flame made of some sort of red crystal from under his arm. It's attached to a leather cord around his neck. He thrusts it forward towards the slaad. Begone fowl creatures! he shouts.
OOC:
Abjure the extraplanar: As an action, you present your holy symbol and each aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend within 30 ft. of you that can hear you must make a WIS saving throw (DC: 13). On a failed save, the creature is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can take the Dodge action.

I know they can't move, but if this works they won't attack us either.
It seems like through the door is the best move. Mrak moves his speed toward the door.

Nice!

The paladin invokes his will upon the creatures, and they shy away from the holy symbol.

"Well done... Now move it, ya wee bairns!" the druid shouted as he also hoofed it!

"A shame, I wanted a few toad warrior teeth to add to my teeth collection!" But that regret doesn't slow Gunnar one bit as he keeps pace with his retreating comrades.

As the door opens, you each slip out, while the slaadi attempt to scutter away from the holy symbol.

Kevin pulls a sister lever on this side of the wall, and the door closes behind you, and this space is pitch black, a circular-shaped tunnel, 10 feet in diameter. You follow for a bit, and the sphere that Raelyn is holding glows. Strangely, Raelyn is speaking as if he hears and is talking with someone.

"Where does this lead?"

"No, we can't go back to that region. I almost died there. The people are awful there."

"Can you lead us to the southern part of the city?"

"No, we cannot fly. Don't put us so high up."


Raelyn looks back to Alin: "Geez, this thing is incorrigible! Here, you talk to him."

Raelyn puts his hands out to you, offering to hand you the glowing sphere.

Alin is brushing off the scorch marks on their clothing when Raelyn pushes the sphere into their hands. "Wait, what?"

Alins eyes grow dark for a moment and stare into space, they say aloud. "What are you, an orrery of some kind?"

The clouds drop from Alins eyes somewhat and they again say aloud. "Raelyn handed you to me if that is what you are asking. Who are you and who created you.?"

"Do you think they've gone mad?" Ghillie whispered to Gunnar. "Or is that orb really talking to them? I heard an acorn truffle speak once but I was high out of my mind on the devil's mushrooms at the time."
Apr 2, 2022 3:43 am
Gunnar doesn't whisper his response back. "Can't say for sure, but there's a lot of strange shit out there. If there can be upside-down puddles and toadmen warriors then why not talking rocks?"

This is some old forgotten magic of the ancient in the before time.
Kevin shutters. How do we get back to the surface? Ask it that. And why it was in that room? And why those things came out of the ceiling?

"And are there more of them?" Mrak interjects.

"Kevin, you really need to see this….this … maybe a map?"
Apr 3, 2022 9:29 am
Kevin looks very sceptical at Alin. What precisely do you want me to do?
Apr 3, 2022 9:32 pm
"Let me try something, I shall link you and I and the sphere. "
Alin focuses their mind on Kevin and the sphere in hopes that multiple minds can glean information faster.
OOC:
At least Kevin will be linked with me, the sphere is likely not a creature.

As the psychic link is established, Alin’s secondary awareness reacts strangely, though the item in-hand remains unmoving to your view.

I'm no Quori nor an Infiltrator. What are you? Some sort of living mind or a magical intelligence? Kevin says this out loud. But he thinks Like a ghost or a warforged?

Mrak looks to Kevin and Alin. "What does it say?"
