Chapter 4: Level 3 dungeon

This time Tante Lude doesn't dodge. She has not been paying much attention to the fight except to avoid it and Tinkara might have some plan.

Pinned Criella who doesn't want to move and is rake over well between the evil ghost and the newly formed specter. Unfortunately, due to the battling she lost concentration on her needed magic weapon spell and now her non-magical scimitars are limited for damage. She doubts the silver will matter and she can't re'magic the scimitar.

She thinks, Oh well I was too old for Tobias anyway.

With all this, she turns her attacks on evil Ghost the that the cave bear seems to be tearing into. She casts a magic missile into it and does her best shore up herself for the next round of attacks.

OOC:

Criella casts magic missile on Ghost 3 for 9 force damage and second wind (bonus action) for 8 HP. AC 16. 41 HP. On spell slot left.

Bear bites ghost and tear a hole in it's mater, but ghost avoid the claws demonstrating decent agility.
Magic missiles keep making small holes in both ghost mater, but there are much of the matter still left.
Persistent! Will make good servant! Ghost 3 comment looking at Criella and all 3 undead attack Tiefling with obvious goal to turn her also in a specter. Criella manages to avoid two of the attacks, but one ghost hugs her painfully.

@thorsman99 yes this is indeed easy to miss that chapter 10 rules apply to quickened spell

Quote:

You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn. You can't cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action.

So bear is hasted effective this turn
@WanderOne and @Psybermagi to post, I'm afraid frog still need to wait for this combat to end. Sorry. And yes please @WanderOne and @Psybermagi and @thorsman99 note inspiration for your PCs - I'm giving it for role play over just doing a damage to frog

Desperate Criella casts off her last spell slot and magic missiles the ghost that she is trying to kill. She thought about using the unicorn horn but declined. She does draw it out in her offhand as her silver scimitar is in her main hand.

Strange that she doesn't pray to be save per say. Only to save her frail soul from being a hated undead. She is rather open on any deity to save her soul. Been centuries since she ever prayed. She might be a bit behind. She might become evil specter, but she is sure that shadowless Criella can't be made into a shadow.

And she does one last pose. She is Criella to the end. At least she still smells good.

OOC:

Criella magic missiles Ghost 3 for 9 force damage. AC 16. 14 HP.

Criella hurt the one ghost, while magically accelerated (by Tinka) Cavebear makes several attacks, but ghost manage to avoid most of them but one that makes a great hole in it's mater. It appears the damage is enough to make this unexpectedly sapient undead decide to retreat
this is not the right time it announces disengaging

As she expected and was prepared for, she is ravished and knocked unconscious, prone, unarmed, & bleeding at 0 HP with 2 bad death saves and a max HP of 9.

@WanderOne two con saves please. first DC 14 second DC 10

She would fail the first for 28 max HP damage and pass the second. So, she has max HP of 37-28= 9 HP.
