With a light step, Quaxiver swung from one of the yardropes to land on the steps leading to the stern, his duplicates moving with him as if they were some flickering squad of hadozees. Hastain appeared formidable, and Quaxiver simply went for the most direct riposte possible, using his magic to summon a dark blade before wreathing it in green flame.
OOC:
Bonus action Shadow Blade cast at 3rd level, then Green-Flame Blade as the cantrip action. (Let me know if the combo isn't allowed, the rulings have been divided I think).

Rolls

Shadow Blade - (3d8)

(381) = 12

Attack and damage (Green Flame Blade) - (2d20h1+8, 1d8+5, 1d8+4)

2d20h1+8 : (91) + 8 = 17

1d8+5 : (5) + 5 = 10

1d8+4 : (2) + 4 = 6

Since the two intruders remain in place, Imti seeks to keep them there. She says, "Sorry, Starbough, hope you don't mind a little borrowing!" as her body pulses with light. Minute orbs of starlight connect into the shape of horns upon her head and wings upon her back, forming the shape of a dragon.

Pinching her fingers before her lips, Imti breathes a cloud of glittering star-like pollen at the twins, scattering a bed of wildly-erupting vines and weeds that twist and grasp at Hastain and his friend.
OOC:
Bonus Action: Wild Shape Starry Form, Dragon
Action: Cast Entangle around Hastain and friend, Strength save DC 16 or be restrained in difficult terrain.

Understanding This One's spell, knowing it can't take hold if Hastain and their twin take any wounds, Ziggy sings to the autognome.

🎵
Hey man where'd you get that lotion?
I been hurting since I bought that gimmick
About something called love
Well that's like hypnotizing chickens
Well I'm just a modern guy
Of course I've had it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life

OOC:
Bonus action: Bardic Inspiration for This One.
Action: Dodge.

Ziggy's attempt to re-write time to prevent the attack on himself is unsuccessful and and the flaming bolt still strikes him.

This One casts a spell, causing a lancing pain to pierce Hastain's skull. He follows that up with a rainbow of colors and the two foes are caught by its effects.

Quaxiver lands behind Hastain and swings his blade, but the attack is parried as he turns around and gets his trident into place.

Imti's vines sprout and grow, wrapping Hastain and his companion up and holding them in place.

Ziggy sings his encouragement for This One, as he prepares to dodge the next attack.

The two foes struggle against the vines holding them in place and both manage to break free.

That entangle ate up their entire turn, so you can act again!

"Ziggy did it!" cheers Imti, oblivious to This One's spell being responsible for Hastain's incapacitation. "Quick, fellows, take their tridents and bind them. To the brig!"

She leans over to Krux and whispers, "You do have a brig, right?"
OOC:
Edited my post to remove the Heat Metal spell. Ignore the roll below.

Heat Metal fire damage - (2d8)

Quaxiver turned to see if The One was humoured or annoyed by Imti's mischievous tease. Being right next to them, he wasted no time in disarming the mirror pair, "Jzu take these as far away as possible, we'll examine them later.", and also quickly gagged them, in case they were able to speak and summon other aid, for the gigantic jellyfish-like creature still loomed next to their ship, and nodded at Imti's suggestion to take them to whatever passed for the brig on this ship.
OOC:
Do we know about the jellyfish creature?

Rolls

Nature or Arcana - (1d20+4)

"That was This One's spell, luv," Ziggy corrects Imti. "Effective, but mine has quite a bit more jive, you know? A lot more boogie."

Ignoring the burning wound in his chest, Ziggy struts across the deck, outfit changed to be even more flamboyant than ever. He will not. Be. Upstaged!
Nov 18, 2024 7:37 am
This One nods at Ziggy. Please disarm them and chuck em overboard. This wont last forever you know.

"Better strip and bind them first, otherwise they'll just return to their ship, or worse, to ours."
Nov 18, 2024 4:24 pm
"Huh," comments Imti. "I figured one of you would want to talk to them, find out what they meant by the Xaryxian Empire or what they know of the elves." She shrugs and confiscates the tridents, before looking for rope to bind the two intruders.

Commodore Krux
Krux nods, "We have something that will serve well enough, I think," he says.

Quaxiver recognizes the jellyfish-like creature as an esthetic, a being that can be utilized as a ship by its creator race, the reigar. The reigar come from one of the celestial planes and are well-known for being driven by artistic pursuits (which sometimes includes the art of war).

Hastain
It's not hard to remove Hastain's weapons and tie him up, but the second reigar fades into non-existence as you do your work. It seems that it was some sort of magical duplicate?

A few moments after you finish, Hastain opens his eyes, looking a bit dazed, "What?" he asks groggily, "What have you done to me?"
Nov 19, 2024 7:25 am
"For sending the elves to destroy Oerth, you deserve death. You will tell us about the Xaryxian Empire and who is trying to consume all worlds. Who is it that considers us such a threat they sent the likes of you."

This One lets the others do the talking as he scans Hastain mind. Its only when he senses a lie, obmission or a refusal to answer that he will dig deeper
OOC:
and triggering a save

Imti adds, "And what's with all the sparkles?" She gestures around her own face to draw attention to the area.
Nov 20, 2024 2:31 am
Hastain chuckles, "I didn't send the elves," he says honestly, "I merely suggested that your planet was ripe for the taking. Turns out I was right."
OOC:
This One detects no untruths
Nov 20, 2024 2:54 am
Imti says, "Are the affairs of the Xaryxian Empire the same as the astral elves? You mentioned us meddlers; how is the empire involved in this?"
Nov 20, 2024 5:25 am
"And also actively trying to prevent us from heading to Topolah. What's in it for you? Just a malicious stooge? Remember you next answer determines whether you live or die." Now that they had established Hastain's genocidal tendencies, it would do the multiverse a service if they removed him from existence.
Nov 20, 2024 4:21 pm
Imti considers Quaxiver's question. "How did he know we were going there, too?" She looks to Krux for any suggestions.
