The company is ready to take another walk toward the mountain, refreshed by a good and fresh night.

Anne will pack up her things and follow the others back on their destination to Mount Strumpet.

"Let's go! Lead the way." She says.
Mar 8, 2023 6:29 am
OOC:
Since survival is already rolled I assume we are navigating through the woods already, aren't we?
Did not intend to do anything else anyway.
Gimdrus have already packed his few things and is about to start walking when hear Wyce suggestion direction a different from what he was about to take. Uhm, right. I have no idea.

Hope this game continues and that we get to our destination without being railroaded because I have done a quest before where that has happened and it wasn't fun for me. It only frustrated me.
Anne follows the others and asks "Who has the map of the area? We need to see how much farther it is until we get to Mount Strumpet."
Mar 9, 2023 4:59 pm
OOC:
There's only one missing, I continue.

@Anne I finish the story I begins. I had a few exceptions, but we stopped with the consentement of all players present.
You finally find yourself under the shadow of Mount Strumpet where a winding, narrow path ascends the mountainside. It’s barely wide enough for a single person to walk up alone, and if two were to attempt the path, then one would almost certainly tumble to their death. Snow has been cleared from the path and packed in huge mounds on each side at the base of the mountain, though you can see it already starting to reclaim the path. While Mount Strumpet itself offers some protection from the wind, it feels somehow colder in the shadow of that twisting tower of stone and ice.
Mar 9, 2023 7:41 pm
With an obvious path to follow, I can take point and delve into the unknown. I'm usually good at avoiding any traps.

Except you are not in a dungeon, you are outside, this feat doesn't work here. The traps and contraptions are not at all the same (if there are any here).
Mar 9, 2023 9:45 pm
Wyce doesn't know the difference. He is confident at point.
Come on. Before the snow covers the path.
He starts the trek.
Mar 9, 2023 11:06 pm
OOC:
If the character is confident, good for him.

I need the post of everyone else, giving e the order of march.

Order of march so far : 1-Wyce 2-Gimdrus 3-Anne 4-Elias 5-Nog
Mar 9, 2023 11:33 pm
Anne will be third in the marching order. She waits for someone to walk behind Wyce and she'll follow behind them.
Mar 10, 2023 8:26 am
OOC:
I don't care, so anyone want to be second just push my PC to any other order. Otherwise I'll go second just because it is first currently open position.
Gimdrus takes his hempen rope (50 feet), tie one end around himself and pass other end to Wyce. Just in case. he note and take his handaxes into his arms hoping to cut them into the ice should he ever need to hold his ground.
Mar 10, 2023 11:36 am
Elias follows in the back dubiously
Mar 10, 2023 1:37 pm
Wyce pauses to acknowledge Gimdrus, Ah, an experienced mountain man. He ties the rope around himself, asks Gimdrus to approve his knot, and resumes the trek.
Mar 11, 2023 2:22 pm
Anne will be tied up with the rope behind grimdrus as they all begin their trek up the mountain.

[ooc]I think Moonbeam works like Flaming Sphere. You cast it once and can move it around for a few turns.
Mar 24, 2023 1:09 pm
OOC:
moonbeam is already on the field. I didn't cast it again. I just used my action to move it over to one of the other enemies. Whenever enemies start their turn or whatever in it, they take the radiant damage after making a con or dex save. If I get hit, I'll have to check to see if I keep concentration on it or not but it's still on the battlefield.
And this is what it says in the text of it " On each of your turns after you cast this spell, you can use an action to move the beam up to 60 feet in any direction. If the creatures gets into the beam for the first time or end their turn in it, they must make a con save or take 2d10 radiant damage." So having already casted the spell so I can use my action to move it and it lasts for 1 minute which is 10 rounds of combat.

Non you cannot, if you drop concentration you loose th spell. Here to cast Heat Metal which make you drop concentration on Moon Beam.

You loose concentration if you cast a spell requiring concentration (p.203 Player's Handbook). Been a nice G.K. I propose you to keep Moon Beam if we delete last round action; or to keep last round action (Heat Metal) but you cannot then cast Moon Beam.

Well we failed to leave one alive for questioning but it's pretty clear we're on the right track. Wyce adjusts the rope tied to him and starts forward. Do we want to search here or push ahead?
Apr 8, 2023 5:21 am
Didnt expect that to happen Nog says partially amused that they died so quickly Better luck next time?
OOC:
didnt realize the ensared elves were dead, or expect the 1 dmg to kill them either

Yep he had 1 hp left, he was hurt badly earlier.

What do you do then ?

Gimdrus collects his javelins and we move forward. Assume still same order

You are not searching the crueltide elves for objects that could give you information or help ?

not my PC. My PC can't imagine frontline ambush party would on purpose carry things that would help intruders they were expecting
Apr 10, 2023 5:12 pm
OOC:
I'd like to push on but Wyce is always an investigator.
Wyce searches any elves that are close enough to the trail to not risk a fall.
Apr 11, 2023 6:07 am
OOC:
If you don't mind I have changed my mind
While Wyce searches elves Gimdrus is investigating the location of the ambush - why did they do it here? Are there any secret tunnels or stashes around? Anything those goblins were protecting ?
Apr 11, 2023 7:34 pm
Each of these Cruelty elves, who looks more like a twisted sort of gobelin carries with him a bag.

You find
1- a toy crossbow, a toy soldier and a very small oven big enough to fit a coin
2- a bee-bee crossbow, 2 snowballs, a Wendy Doll porcelain doll with a button at the back
3- a snowball, 2 small ovens, a bee-bee crossbow
4- a toy soldier and a bee-bee crossbow
5- a snowball, a toy soldier, a bee-bee crossbow
6- a Wendy Doll

The cruelty elves do not have anything else of interest on them. From their position it is clear they were protecting the path that winds up in the mountain.
Apr 12, 2023 10:35 pm
It doesnt seem like they had much Nog ponders But if this is all they had on them how did they even overrun the village
Apr 13, 2023 4:22 am
maybe villagers lie...

how about try talk next time we meet those pity goblins

Anyhow I think we keep going not turn back, right?
Apr 13, 2023 8:35 am
Yes, we should keep going Nog agrees Turning back now would be pointless.
Apr 13, 2023 1:29 pm
As with true goblins, the main question is "how many?"

I was in in front but since I have a ranged spell I will follow you Gimdrus.
Apr 13, 2023 3:50 pm
Anne is unsure and finally decide.

I stop here, this is really too dangerous for me, and I hate these creatures. Good luck !

The group continues to advance, it is more than an hours and a half since the woke up, but walking in a single file in the snow take its toll and they have the impression they are walking fo hours.

The already narrow path up the side of Mount Strumpet thins even further and falls away until it is little more than a stone beam no wider than six inches against the cliffside. It runs for more than fifty feet before the path broadens again to anything even remotely resembling a safe ledge. This narrow crossing, combined with wind and newly fallen snow settling on already slick rock, will not be easy to cross. A few small stones blow down from higher up the mountain and tumble to the jagged rocks more than a hundred feet below.

Wyce looks for any alternate secret passage. He still thinks his Dungeon Delver abilities are going to help him.

Apr 23, 2023 9:26 pm
I think I may have run out of favors for the residents of Newville. I do not want to walk that path.
Out of frustration I hurl a fire bolt to the wider path beyond the narrow ledge.
That's where we need to be. There must be a safer way to get there.
Apr 23, 2023 10:41 pm
i agree Nog affirms It is too dangerous to proceed this way. We owe nothing to the News that warrents us risking our lives needlessly. Maybe the elves used some kind of magic to proceed. he then proceeds to ritually cast Detect Magic to find if there is a magic contraption that might help them cross safely.

This might take a while he says as he prepares the ritual But it better than possibly slipping

If that's the only option and DM ok could we undo Gimdrus movement? Let's say he stops when reach path too narrow to continue.
Right. There must be some trick. Gimdrus returns and decide to play with goblin toys while waiting for ritual completion.
He would like to take the small oven and the doll. Put them in front of each other an press the button.

Oh, the roll is not for movement, I did not count you would do something this silly (unless the player confirms the movement after been warned). I just counted Grimdus would evaluate the risk before. So I need the roll, independently of your action.

As a rule if I give you a warning because I think an action may be dangerous or ill advise, the action you do is cancelled unless you confirm it. So do not hesitate to correct your post; but I may consider your character is thinking about it and decide he is looking for such an option.

Wyce fire bolt burnt enough to free the stone beam from ice, it is easier now to get to the other ledge to continue the journey. But you still have to pass one by one.

Could you please clarify... do I understand correct that fire bolt have solved just one of the 4 problems
Quote:

So it is easier, but still deadly isn't it?

Could you also confirm nothing happened when Gumdrus push the doll button as I've described earlier.
Apr 26, 2023 10:07 pm
OOC:
I confirm the blast too away the danger concerning the ice on the stone small bridge, but it is still very deadly, the wind is still blowing too.
As soon as Gimdru press on the doll buttons see began to whine loudly
Apr 27, 2023 8:05 am
Still deadly? My PC not go.

Gimdrus keep playing with toys and snowballs and try to understand the purpose of the items we found: are they indeed children toys, do they have other meaning?
Maybe those are wrong goblins. We found no metal with them. Are we sure this is the only path?
Gimdrus suggest party to try to go back and look for other paths, if none - then prepare an ambush and wait for goblins in the ambush. After all they promised to visit town every night, so they may be doing another ride soon.

The dexterity save is for you to be able to move normally, it is similar to an entanglement, so it does not fall on barbarian danger sense for it is not something that surprise and attack you, it is rather trying to find a way to not walk, or get stuck, in the gooey stuff.
