The First Expedition: The Alchemist's Vault

"Keep our path to the courtyard clear," Elodie tells the group, once again taking up position to ambush whatever threat awaits them to the south.

OOC:

I goofed on the roll, but I rolled a 15 total for stealth.

"Those are the shroom guys from the pod room! We can loop around 'em, flank 'em or avoid them altogether! This way!"

Trix points the way, but waits to see if anyone will follow.

Subeen doesn't yet move, waiting for the order from the Clairmonts. She does venture to ask, "What do you mean? More mushroom folk? They don't sound the same!"

Nov 15, 2024 3:54 am

Subeen sets herself in the path of the approaching fungoids, while Elodie lies in wait in the shadows, shifting her weight with practised care to keep her scale mail silent as she waits to strike.

The rotting doors swing open violently as this new breed of Fungoids burst through and into Elara's magical light two at a time. Their wide-brimmed mushroom caps barely squeezing through. These fungoids are much younger and stronger than the decript counterparts that were butchering the vine monster.

[ +- ] Younger Fungoids

OOC:

Okay, go ahead and roll initiative Subeen and Elodie! Elodie can roll with advantage on account of her tricksy hiding.

Trix and Elara, go ahead and declare an action (hide, cast a spell on yourself or someone else, etc) as well before initiative is rolled. If you'd like to get out of here and not participate in combat, that is also an action and therefore no need to roll initiative.

Despite preparing for the worst, the fungoids surprise the expeditionary team with their ferocity. The creatures are small but fast, and stink like rot. They pile onto Subeen, swinging makeshift implements at her, and tearing with their clawed hands. One strikes her with an old pair of alchemical tongs in the knee (4 bludgeoning damage), another stabs her thigh with the broken shards of a glass flask (5 piercing damage), and a third stabs at her shoulder with a rusted syringe (5 piercing damage).

OOC:

That's a total of 6 damage after rage damage reduction, if my math is right!

Two of them try to sneak past Subeen's defences, stalking the only other visible target: Elara!

OOC:

Elodie, Trix, and Subeen can choose to spend their reaction to take an opportunity attack against one of the fungoids coming for Elara (the cinderwood boi and lash grrl). After those have been accepted and rolled or declined, we will complete their turn.

Subeen quickly swings her axe at the passing fungoid with the club, then follows through with another slash at Tongs.

OOC:

I believe I can apply Reckless Attack on a Reaction, as it's the first attack of my turn? Regardless, will apply Reckless on Action Attack as well. Applying Topple on both attacks, and if both hit, will apply Savage Attacker on the lowest damage roll.

10 slashing damage to Cinderwood.
11 slashing damage to Tongs.

Subeen pivots sharply, her axe slicing through the air as the fungoids lunge past her. The blade bites deep into the cinderwood club-wielding creature, splitting its vivid orange cap. A burst of spores explodes from the wound, enveloping her in a choking, fungal haze.

Nearby, Trix darts forward, her dagger flashing in a series of swift, precise strikes. The lash-bearer crumples before it can react, lifeless. But as it hits the ground, its body bursts, releasing a toxic cloud of spores that engulfs her in an instant.

OOC:

I'll roll DC 12 Con saves to see if the spore clouds have an affect - whoops, both failed! Trix and Subeen are now Poisoned (disadvantage on ability checks and attacks) but can repeat the save at the end of each of your turns. Once you have succeeded, you are immune. Let me know if you have an ability that would have increased your odds.

Both Trix and Subeen can't avoid inhaling the spores and immediately feel the affects - suddenly the room begins to spin and their heads ache something fierce.

OOC:

Still waiting on Elodie to take her opportunity attack.

Elodie sees that Subeen's target is escaping her and running for her sister, and her lunge expertly finishes off the vicious little toadstool.

Trix buries her dagger right between the tong wielder's eye's, and Elodie skewers the one with the iron bar. Both fungus elves collapse, lifeless.

Two more dead, our to go. Just Elara left to act in this round.

Lady Elara Clairmont

Nov 23, 2024 5:48 pm

"The what room?!" Elara exclaims to Trix in exasperation and confusion as she sees the wave of fungoids rushing in, panic flashing in her eyes as two of them set their sights on her. Before she has time to react, she is coughing from the dissipating wafts of spores emitted by the quick reflexes of Trix and Elodie coming to her defense.

It takes her a moment to shake off the shock, but once she does, she realizes that a swing of her staff will put her at risk of closer exposure to the fungal fumes, and decides to hurl a trusty ice shard at the syringe wielder instead, nearing the end of her mental reserves.

Subeen misses with her axe due to the spore cloud, but Trix and Elodie hit their marks, sending two more Fungoids to the grave. But Elodie can't avoid the spore cloud that her enemy expels in its death throes.

OOC:

Tongs and Iron Bar are dead. Elodie is poisoned (disadvantage on attacks and ability checks), but can repeat the save at the end of her next turn.

Elara hurls her signature ice shard at the swarm of Fungoids attacking her bodyguard, Subeen. The shard sails past its target but detonates on impact, scattering razor-sharp fragments into the writhing mass. Reacting quickly, Subeen shields herself by thrusting nearby Fungoids into the blast, leaving them to absorb the icy barrage.

OOC:

Flask and Syringe will take 6 cold damage from the burst! They are still alive but weakened.
