OOC:
is the creature doing anything else on it's turn?
Jun 27, 2024 10:21 pm
Seeing that the creature isn't attacking just yet, Martha slowly raises her hands to show that she means no harm either. She tries to make some sense of what kind of being it actually is.
OOC:
Action 1: Recall Knowledge (??? Lore)
Action 2+3: Ready (Raise a Shield if the creature attacks)

Recall Knowledge is supposed to be a hidden roll by the GM iirc, so I'll let you roll @YullyBear.

Hix raises a magical shield and cowers behind it, then shouting out "That's Water Mephit!", before realizing it's not attacking. Then, once calmed down a bit, he asks "But what's it's doing here? Is it guarding that backpack?". After which, quietly and to himself, he whispers about how looking at it properly, the Water Mephit is an incredibly ugly creature, and wonders if there's anything wrong about it.
OOC:

Action 1: Shield Cantrip
Action 2+3: Ready a Demoralize for if it attacks one of the others. If it attacks Hix, he's just shield blocking instead.

Gray will follow the others lead and not attack, for now. This thing clearly isn't like the drunks at the circus, but still, he doesn't want to see any more of his friends hurt today. He readies his Elven blade, just in case.

The Creature continues to make gestures to tell you to go away, you feel it will attack soon if you do not back down.
OOC:
@Martha I'm not much a believer in secret rolls, to me the rolls is an indication of how well you did, and ogten you have a pretty good idea if you fone well or not. Here you clearly have no idea what this creature may be.
@Hix you may roll your intimidate roll -4 since you do not speak the aquan language.

Rolls

Martha Barns: Arcana - (1d20+0)

(8) = 8

Hix, for one carefully strides back, but refreshes his shield just in case.
OOC:
He didn't attack so I'm not demoralizing yet. Instead I'm just recasting shield and moving back either with 1 or 2 actions. I'm not sure how far we are from it, but I want to stay within 120 ft, since that's the range of my ray frost.

Martha frowns at the strange creature - the mephit, as Hix called it - who seems to have no intention of leaving the backpack. Given that it hadn't attacked, she's reluctant to do harm to it in return. Maybe they could distract it somehow.

"Hey. Hey!" the red-haired dwarf calls out, rummaging in her bag for a portion of food. She waves the ration in the air, watching if the mephit reacts. "Are you hungry?"
OOC:
Action 1: Interact (Ration)
Action 2+3: Ready (Raise a Shield if the creature attacks)

OOC:
Is this backpack for long can somebody on the circus? Do we recognize it? If so maybe we can guess as to what's inside that it values so much.

Martha's dealing does not seem to change any thing in the creature behavior.

Gray speaks up; "That pack doesn't belong to anyone in the circus. While that means I'm not terribly concerned about retrieving it, I would like to know where it's owner is. That information would be useful, but maybe not worth fighting this creature for."

Hix ponders this for a second, "Well I would mostly agree with you, but just the fact that there's a magical creature guarding it gives me pause. We might be able to avoid a fight either way by being sneaky though. If someone can get close enough to snatch it, I have a spell that can make it looks like it's not been touched."

Sneakyness and nimble hands are unfortunately not my specialty." Gray replies.
Jul 10, 2024 3:11 am
"Well, it doesn't seem to care about us. The mephit just wants to guard that bag and whatever's in it." Martha turns to Hix. "Got a spell that might do the trick if we want to pull a switcheroo with the backpack?"
Jul 11, 2024 2:56 am
"Well I can create an illusion of the backpack on top of backpack itself, that way someone can grab it and it will like it's unmoved. It will only last 10 minutes though and it's an illusion so if he tried to touch he'd notice."
OOC:
For a better description of the spell look below

"Can you make it look like there is another pack, or something more tempting, nearby? Then we can grab the pack when the beast goes after your illusion. I am curious to know what it thinks is so valuable, or even better, find a clue to Thunders murder."

"Good enough for me," Martha says. She eyes the creature while Hix prepares his magic. "Get ready... Now!"

The dwarf darts forward when the words leave her lips, trusting in the spell and surprise to leave the creature blinking before realising anything happened.
OOC:
Action 1: Stride
Action 2: Interact (Grab the backpack)
Action 3: Stride
Jul 12, 2024 1:10 am
Hix hurries to cast the spell, but does not get any closer, choosing to bring up a magic shield instead.
OOC:
Probably would have been better to cast the spell first. Using the illusory object spell to do what I mentioned then shield cantrip aka:
Action 1+2: Illusory Object
Action 3: Shield
[ +- ] Illusory Object
[ +- ] Shield

OOC:
Martha I need a strength roll DC 15, for the backpack is much heavier than what you expected.
Jul 16, 2024 10:54 pm
OOC:
Should it be a flat STR roll or an Athletics check?
Martha grunts as she scoops up the bag...

Rolls

Strength (+3 if Athletics) - (1d20+2)

(3) + 2 = 5
