Chapter Five: Bapdis Orjo's Gift of Reconciliation

CON Save

Lacking any other recourse, much less a new idea of how to get through, Zangua continues hacking away at the ice. It's cold.

Through the eyes of Quggyeb, Vhezyen saw the abomination ascending the base of the hill. As he felt his mental faculties and body succumbing to the numbing cold, he gave the celestial minded sea gull a final instruction: If the abomination engages, harry and disrupt the foe. Assist however you can.

Basically instructing Quggyeb to use the Help action to give party members Advantage on attack rolls.

What is the range?

Early in the morning!? I post about 10am thanks! It's you guys who are in the weird time zone(s) ;)
OK my guess is a) I dispelled the magic keeping the water at a weird angle, but b) the magic(?) that froze the water into ice was a one-off effect. The ice is just regular ice now, so dispelling didn't turn it back to water.

Seeing the others are busy trying to rescue Vhezyen, Felor turns his attention to the strange beast approaching from the base of the hill, racking his brain for any information about magical jewel-eyed skull-apes.
Guessing this is Arcana check rather than Nature, but add 2 if it is somehow a natural creature!

Seeking a way to delay the beast, Felor points his spear down the hill and beseeches Fjorgyn: "Supreme goddess, I call on you, here in your domain! Protect your loyal servants and encumber this abomination!"

Action 1: Cast Barkskin on Domarc.
Action 2: I'm going to ready Plant Growth to cast once the ape is closer. I want to cast it at maximum range (150ft), when the ape is 200ft away, and therefore already 50ft inside the 100ft radius (sorry this is so complicated) - diagram.
What is our longest range attack? We're going to need to start peppering it with damage as soon as we can. 60ft is about my limit for spells. Hopefully the Plant Growth will slow it enough to put some hurt on before it arrives.

Mordred turns and looks at whatever it is that is coming up the hill. He thinks back to a little trick he used to play on the mice and rats in the sewer. Ever since he was a boy he could generate these little blobs of darkness that would stick to whatever he wanted them too, and for several minutes, the creature wouldn't be able to see anything at all. He thinks that now, as his abilities and powers have developed since beginning this quest, that he could generate a much larger blob, that would last longer. As soon as this thing shows its face, Mordred will blast one of these darkness blobs at it.

At 5th level Mordred gained the racial ability to cast Darkness once per day.

EDIT: He will Dash down the hill to get within the 60' range of the duck and hide if it is stopped by the Plant Growth.

Zangua ignores the activity behind him, instincts on never leaving someone behind kicking in full gear. He continues to hammer and hack away at the ice, trying to reach Vhezyen as quickly as possible.

Domarc stares downslope at the monstrosity, and gives a what-the-hell shrug.

"We come seeking Pafthinel! We mean no harm to anyone - anything - on this island! But we will defend ourselves!"
