You wake up at the church next morning, glad to see no other agents of Strahd paid you any visit this night. You are now free to discuss your plans for the day.
Act II: Ill Fortunes (Part 2, the morning after)
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
Mar 22, 2017 11:18 pm
Having survived another night among the company of humans, Veroth rises and stretches out his wings. Gathering his weapons and resecuring them to his person, he checks the others for signs of life. "Huuu-mansss, what delays beset us today? What next before we can seek an end to this plague of undead?" He fiddles with his Lightbringer pendant, and hops from foot to foot.
Mar 23, 2017 12:53 pm
"Yes brothers, what items from our agenda would we like to tackle this day? Perhaps figuring out this amulet that allows us to heal our sickness? And then beginning the quest for the sun sword?"
Mar 23, 2017 1:03 pm
Darren removes the amulet from his neck and places it back on, hoping it will cure his sickness.
Mar 23, 2017 1:07 pm
"Please, Brother Silversmith, allow me to take another look at the amulet." Weiryn says after Roland mentions the magical item.
Face it, Weiryn...you're pushing yourself too hard. You never forget about things like this... he thinks to himself as he prepares to study the trinket.

Mar 23, 2017 2:14 pm
After studying the amulet for a moment, Weiryn will speak up. "It would appear that this is a Pendant of Good Health. The magic contained therein will allow it's wielder to be purified of any diseases that he may have contracted. It only works once per day, though. It might be necessary to rotate the amulet until I have the ability to cure diseases through my own power."
Passing the amulet to Roland, Weiryn continues, "As for our next step, Brother Veroth, that is a good question. We should begin gathering anything we can to aid us in our mission to end the plague here. The Sun Sword, the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind...these are two powerful artifacts could prove very useful, if we are to end Strahd and bring peace to the region. If we find and destroy the werewolves responsible for the death of Jeref Maurgen, that will prove advantageous as well...anything we can do to weaken Strahd and empower ourselves.
"We have an idea of where the Sun Sword and the Holy Symbol are...the Holy Symbol is, supposedly, in a marsh downriver from the Vistani encampment. Madame Eva mentioned that the Sun Sword is down the western path at the crossroads. I'll admit, I am at a loss as to where to find the werewolves. What say you, brothers? Find the Sun Sword, find the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, or find the werewolves?"

"I say we make for the holy symbol. We will still have to get it linked back to Irena, which will take time that we can use to find the sun sword. I have a feeling the werewolf issue will bring itself to us."
Mar 23, 2017 7:14 pm
"Having it bound to the Lady Ireena will be a problem. Remember brother, the madame said that it must sit on the throne of an ancient kingdom before it's power can be restored. Ireena has been visited by Strahd at least once already...I shudder to think of what would happen if we took her to Castle Ravenloft.
"Hmm...she also mentioned that the 'lord of the castle seeks a lady'. We know that Ireena has been bitten before. It may be that Strahd wishes to turn her and make Ireena his consort. No, I'll not risk her soul in that way. When we go to awaken the Holy Symbol's power, we do so without Ireena.
"Here is what I propose: We first seek the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind. With it in hand, we make our way to the West to seek this remnant of the past that holds the Sun Sword. According to Madame Eva, both must be activated somewhere within Castle Ravenloft; the Holy Symbol on the throne, and the Sun Sword somewhere deep within the crypts. And before we move on the Castle, we should take a few days to prepare ourselves for combat with an undead foe."

As Roland carefully takes out the equipment taken from Danovich and the basement of the church, Veroth flies up to the small alcove about, taking his time going through boxes and crates this time. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much of use up there, as he only finds old, worn out or broken clerical implements, moldy clerical vestments, and personal baubles which might have belonged to past generations of priests...

Danovich had a scroll of cure moderate wounds, a +1 full plate, a normal heavy steel shield, a masterwork morningstar, and 397 gp.
As for the equipment of the former Lightbringers, there is a mundane half-plate, a +1 chainmail, a +2 greatsword, 2 scrolls of cure light wounds, and a scroll of lesser restoration.
As Veroth finishes his search of the upper alcove and Weiryn finishes his analysis of the magic items, there is a knock on the door, and the small voice of a woman.
"Hello? Are you okay in there? There are the dead bodies of three giant wolves out there..."

Roland creak the door open just a bit, peering out, and sees it is indeed Ireena. As she spots the eye peering out at her from the crack in the door she smiles back at you. However, she seems to be dressed in adventuring gear. She has an impeccable breastplate on, a sturdy shield strapped on her back, and a longsword and crossbow hanging from her hips. She then hear Veroth's comment and comments on it.
"This does not surprises me. Strahds controls many creatures. It makes sense he would want to spy on newcomers like you. So, may I come in?"

Ireena steps in and Roland looks out after her, noticing there are indeed only 3 dire wolves bodies outside. Roland will notice a pool of blood however which is not as large as it should've been had a dire wolf had died there, and a faint trail of blood heading further west. It would seems one of the dire wolves was not dead, but merely unconscious and it would seem it stabilized later during the night and left, probably to report to Strahd...

Weiryn frowns at Durgrim's words. "Normally, I'd be inclined to agree, Brother Forgehammer...however, Ireena, if you plan to join us on the next part of our mission, I beg you to reconsider. Strahd appears to have his eyes on you, and you've been bitten before. I cannot, in good conscience, agree with you coming along."
Mar 28, 2017 7:29 pm
"Yes, you are right sir dwarf, I want to tag along with you."
She then turns to Weiryn.
"And this is precisely why I need to come. I refuse to remain home, wondering when Strahd will come again for me, fearing his return, like some damsel in distress. If it's me Strahd wants, then I fully intend on giving him a fight in return. It is also obvious that he's behind this plague which infected our town, and that you're going after him next. I've lost many friends in this plague, and there is also the murder of my father. If you make Strahd pay for his crimes, then I want to be part of it."
There is a look of determination in the young woman's eyes.

Weiryn stares the woman in the eye, before shaking his head and sighing. "Very well...it could very well be that fate wishes you to come along, and Pharasma does not look kindly upon those who stand in the way of fate. Just know this: we are not going to Strahd straightaway. There are a few things we should collect before we try to take that abomination on...only then will we march on Castle Ravenloft. However, before we begin...Brother Forgehammer, let's see what can be done about your weakness..."
The cleric takes the scroll of Lesser Restoration that was found during the inventory with Roland, and casts from it, using the magic to hopefully restore the paladin's lost strength.

As you make your way towards the Blood on the Vine Tavern, you notice through the mist-enshrouded streets that daily life has resumed as best it can. Merchants have their shops open, people go about their business children play in the street under the watchful eyes of their parents, though everyone looks sorrowful and defeated but try their best to mask it. As you reach the Blood of the Vine tavern, you are surprised to see a quatuor of Vistani in front of the establishment engaged in a loud and colorful conversation which clashes with the dourness of the village of Barovia. They seem to be entirely absorbed in their own conversation-which is in a language none of you understand-and pay you no heed...

Ujjaya will also notice the same things Weiryn and Roland noticed, however, they now seem alerted that something is up.
As for Weiryn, after exchanging a few words in their languages, you will see that the Vistanis are thinking of leaving and using potions to follow your group later. This last thought of their "mission" also conjures up mental images of a tall, dark, pale man composing himself in the manners of the aristocracy.
They are also still looking for who tried to cast a spell on their friend, so Weiryn can make another hide and Bluff check.

The four Vistanis leave, still trying to keep up appearances by having a loud conversation as they leave, but a quick glance from 3 of them towards Weiryn makes it obvious that they realized it was Weiryn who tried to cast a spell on their friend. They do not instigate hostilities however, simply being content to leave.

Weiryn will catch up with the others after the Vistani leave, committing the man's image to memory as he walks.
Once he's caught up to them, he speaks in a low voice, "Brothers, be wary. That group of Vistani has been tasked with keeping an eye on us. They intend to drink potions and follow us when we leave town, and I'm afraid that they know I'm aware of their plans."

You make your way towards the Ivliss Marsh.

The mist is still ever present, limiting your vision to about 30 feet, the odd bush and small trees dotting the valley casting ominous shadows as you make your way towards the marsh.

You are suddenly reminded that the Vistanis were supposed to follow you using potions—at least according to Weiryn—but you fail to notice any traces of them, so much so that you wonder if they simply changed their minds.
You approach the point where the Ivliss rivers widens and spreads into the land, creating a grey morass of wetlands, clouds of buzzing insects, and gnarled twisted trees which match well with the ever-present grey mist of the valley.
You find a couple large twisted trees which look like they would be strong enough to hold your horses

Durgrim stops the cart by the trees, then sweeps the area with his detect undead before dismounting. "As good place as any, I ken. We walk from here?"

Durgrim will notice the area is free of undead. Through the fog you spot large forms which might come from a ruined wall, some quarter of a mile (about 411 meters for those using metric) or so farther into the swamp.

Weiryn can't shake the feeling that he's missing something, especially with what he saw in the minds of the Vistani, but nods as he ties his horse off and follows the others.
Knowing that he is looking for a magical artifact, he casts Detect Magic every 6 minutes or so, concentrating until the vision granted by the cantrip begins to fade.

As you make your way through patches of dead-grey reeds and small stands of moss-hung trees toward the ruins, still a hundred and fifty yards ahead of you (about 137 meters), a large stretch of water blocks your path. It seems pretty deep, but a shallow and narrow stretch seems to offer the best way through the more dry ground. A cloud of buzzing insects hovers in the way, however, droning ominously in a strangely deep pitch. An acrid smell of blood washes over you.

Alchemist's Fire: You can throw a flask of alchemist's fire as a splash weapon. Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet.
A direct hit deals 1d6 points of fire damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of fire damage from the splash. On the round following a direct hit, the target takes an additional 1d6 points of damage. If desired, the target can use a full-round action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking this additional damage. Extinguishing the flames requires a DC 15 Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target a +2 bonus on the save. Leaping into a lake or magically extinguishing the flames automatically smothers the fire.

Delay and ready are different things. When delaying, you delay your turn until some unspecified point in the future. You do not react to anything in particular (although you still could, but in which case, you'd get to react after whatever triggered you to take your turn), you simply specify at some point later in the initiative "I'll take my turn now", and then you get to perform all your actions.When you ready, you declare that you are readying a specified action to react to a certain trigger (in this case, most likely the shadow in the water acting), allowing you to act right before the opponent who triggered your action.
Bot of those also result in your initiative changing.
Since you are shooting only one arrow before the plant creature acts, this is a readied action, yes.
The swarm will then move towards to group, Durgrim swinging his mighty hammer at it... only to realize it has no effects. The multitude of undead bugs deftly dodge his huge clumsy hammer.

Oh, this is going to be interesting...
Durgrim manages to connect with the plant creature, his hammer making a satisfying 'thud' as it hits the creature with great force... but something seems wrong... the creature looks to have been somewhat invigorated by the blow... it's as if it absorbed the electricity of his hammer and somehow used it to fortify itself...

Roland shoots the swarm and... The shot seems to have been very effective. Not only can Darren see many bugs die within the swarm, but he can see countless others getting gunked up by Roland's alchemical shot, falling to the ground, effectively immobilizing the deadly swarm...It would be Ujjaya's turn now.

Ujjaya lets loose a volley of arrows on the hulking swamp thing, surprisingly, only two of which actually hits. Still, the two arrows which hit seems to have been effective, easily undoing the creature's boos in vigor from Durgrim's hammer strike.
Ireena will approach the creature, sheathing her crossbow and drawing her sword for next round.
The shambling mound will constrict Weiryn and then attack Durgrim in an attempt to snag itself another prey...
Weiryn takes 15 points of damage. Durgrim is hit for 11 points of damage and is grappled as well.

Lesser restoration dispels any magical effects reducing one of the subject’s ability scores or cures 1d4 points of temporary ability damage to one of the subject’s ability scores. It also eliminates any fatigue suffered by the character, and improves an exhausted condition to fatigued. It does not restore permanent ability drain.

You look up from the murky water sloshing around your ankles to see the ruined walls close now, rising on dry land about 60 feet ahead of you. A square stone column, worn with incredible age, juts up out of the water nearby, and two gnarled willow trees seem to form a natural gateway to the island beyond.
Something large is moving in the deeper water ahead of you. Its flesh the sickly white of a drowned worm, but it writhes and twists in the water like an angry snake. Then it rears up out of the water, revealing a disgusting sucker-mouth in its eyeless white head, at around the same moment Darren hears some sloshing behind the party again, some 50 or 60 feet behind you... (Only Ireena seems to have not spotted those large snake things... Poor her...)Edit: Oh, Jabes is back, okay, never mind then, I'll use your own initiative. :P Also, glad to see my monsters keep the tradition of rolling shit initiatives...

It's the giant leech-like creatures' turn. One of them will swim towards Roland and attack him, another one will make a double move to approach Ireena, finally, the last one will stay in place and attack either Durgrim or Veroth.

The humanoid form which was waiting within the runic circle on the island starts moving and makes its way towardsRoland and Ujjaya. As it steps out of the mist, Veroth, Roland and Ujjaya will be able to notice that the humanoid form is in fact an old and horrendously ugly human woman, with sickly yellow skin, covered in warts and oozing sores, and a mad tangle of greenish-brown hair resembling rotting seaweed. Her eyes stare wildly and her face is twisted in a perpetual mask of grief. Veroth, Roland, and Ujjaya all need to make a Fort save.
As she steps close to those who are near the shore, she stares intensely at Ujjaya who now must also succeed at a Will save.
Finally, it is Weiryn's turn.

Suprised that the woman managed to shrug his spell off with such ease, he turns his attention to the eels before him. Falling into his casting, he points at one latched on to Durgrim and a ray of energy lashes out, the intense heat scorching flesh where it strikes.

Okay, that's not a critical. But how much damage do you end up inflicting with just one shot hitting normally?
Jun 9, 2017 2:26 pm
OOC:
That 13 damage on the roll there. I used deadshot. So if one hits it damages as if both hit.Dead Shot (Ex): At 7th level, as a full-round action, the gunslinger can take careful aim and pool all of her attack potential into a single, deadly shot. When she does this, she shoots the firearm at a single target, but makes as many attack rolls as she can, based on her base attack bonus. She makes the attack rolls in order from highest bonus to lowest, as if she were making a full attack. If any of the attack rolls hit the target, the gunslinger’s single attack is considered to have hit. For each additional successful attack roll beyond the first, the gunslinger increases the damage of the shot by the base damage dice of the firearm. For instance, if a 7th-level gunslinger firing a musket hits with both attacks, she does 2d12 points of damage with the shot, instead of 1d12 points of damage, before adding any damage modifiers. Precision damage and extra damage from weapon special abilities (such as flaming) are added with damage modifiers and are not increased by this deed. If one or more rolls are critical threats, she confirms the critical once using her highest base attack bonus –5. For each critical threat beyond the first, she reduces this penalty by 1 (to a maximum of 0). The gunslinger only misfires on a dead shot if all the attack rolls are misfires. She cannot perform this deed with a blunderbuss or other scatter weapon when attacking creatures in a cone. The gunslinger must spend 1 grit point to perform this deed.
I included the rule for deadshot above. I just realized I messed up the critical confirmation, but it still failed so doesn't really matter. My apologies.

Okay, but reading this, it seems only one d8 of damage would have been scored. The example provided seems to confirm that. Basically it's base damage dice per hit and then the modifiers are added. Sounds a bit underwhelming right now, but it seems a lot more useful when you have 3+ attacks available.
Jun 9, 2017 3:11 pm

Rereading that it appears your correct. I misunderstood. New single damage roll included. It is a bit underwhelming, if both attacks would hit it would do both damage plus the modifiers on each shot anyway... probably won't use that again. lolRolls

As Ujjaya pockets the loot and stands guard, Veroth (and Durgrim?) approaches the disturbed patch at the base of the stone in the middle of the runic circle. Examining the disturbed earth closely, it quickly becomes evident to Veroth that this is too small to be a passage of sort for anything but the smallest of humanoids. More than likely, somebody hid something there recently...

Upon hearing the sounds of battle Heather readies her crossbow. She cautiously moves towards the sounds, although she makes no effort to hide herself. If someone is battling the monsters in this valley she hopes to join them, the task of removing evil from this place is far too much for a single adventurer. She will approach until she can clearly see who was in battle. At this point she will stop and observe the group, the crossbow is pointed toward the ground hopefully conveying that she does not intend to start a confrontation.
OOC:
I assume with the mist by the time she can see them she will be more than close enough to fire her crossbow if necessaryJul 11, 2017 6:23 pm
Darren, who is already on the lookout, spots the stranger as she moves into view, "We've got company," he says to the others, then calls to the woman, "Well met, traveler, what brings you to this Light-forsaken part of the world?"
Jul 11, 2017 7:05 pm
Ujjaya will see and hear Heather approach (probably hear her first since she's most likely sloshing through the swamp, making her way form dry spot to dry spot, and the mist still limits clear visibility to about 30 feet).
As she makes her way towards the ruins, the sound of battle will have ceased. As she can see more clearly what transpired here, she spots a rather eclectic party of adventurers, composed of 4 humans (2 males, 1 female), a male dwarf, a male humanoid with blue skin who might have some extraplanar origins, and what looks like a winged drow. The dwarf and the winged drow seems to be checking the ground near a short stone pillar in the middle of what looks like a runic circle scribed on the ground. One of the human and the humanoid with blue skin seems to be keeping watch, with the human holding up a rather bulky and strange contraption. In the water, Heather can spot the floating carcass of what looks to be 3 large leech-like creatures with sickly rubbery white skin, and within the runic circle seems toe be the dead body of a horrendously-looking old crone whose hair looks to be made of rotting seaweed...
The rest of the party, as you hear sloshing in the water, at first you though your Vistani spies were getting sloppy, but out of the mist, you see emerge a woman clad in mithral armor with the holy symbol of Serenrae clearly emblazoned on her shield. A crossbow is cocked in her hand, but pointed downward so as to not appear threatening...

"Salutations, I have been sent by Sarenrae on a holy mission to cleanse this land. I heard the sounds of battle and came to investigate. If you are of good intent I offer my aid, I am well versed in the healing arts."
As she speaks Heather approaches to within 40ft of Darren (if she isn't already within range), being careful to remain non threatening she casts Zone of Truth (20ft radius surrounding Darren). This takes one standard action and has a vocal and somatic component, so people will likely notice she is casting a spell.
A will save of 10+2+4=16 Negates the effect. Anyone affected by the spell cannot lie, but can choose to not answer questions. It lasts 6 min, but the circle does not move and creatures can walk out of/into the affected area.

The young woman will advance and address Heather.
"Welcome traveller. There is indeed much evil in this land which needs to be cleansed.

But by far the worst of them all is that devil Strahd up in his castle..."
She spits on the ground as she speaks that last name.
"As for healing, I have suffered some injuries fighting those blood-sucking worms, the worst of it being that blood one of them took from me. I'm feeling a bit frail and light-headed at the moment..."

"Yes, that would be normal considering the amount of blood those things seems to need in order to nourish themselves. Perhaps if you have a few lesser restorations to spare to help my companions. I am a healer too, but sadly had to use my daily allotment of restorative spells to heal up brother Durgrim's strength after a nasty encounter with a really dangerous undead in the basement of a church..."

"Lesser restoration is indeed one of my healing spells, however I have only one use of it prepared for today. I will be happy to do what I can, and when we rest I will prepare as many iterations of such spells as needed."
Lesser Restoration: dispels magic effects reducing 1 ability score or restores 1d4 ability damage to 1 ability.
Heather casts Lesser Restoration on Ireena.
"Until I have time to prepare more spells I cannot heal anymore such damage, but I am able to help with less serious afflictions. Does anyone else require my services?"

Veroth stands from near the dwarf as the sounds of banter reach him. If his companions are so inclined, he abandons caution, spikes his rapier into the soft earth, and begins to dig up the disturbed ground.
Jul 12, 2017 12:18 am
Poking with his rapier, Veroth will notice the earth is a bit loose. After a good minute of digging, Veroth will pull out a richly decorated amulet which looks to be some sort of holy symbol as well as what seems to be a reliquary box, about the size of a large tome, its side and lids carved with images of angels, but the eyes and mouths of every angels are red with a sticky liquid which looks suspiciously like blood...
At the sight of the amulet, Ireena's face brightens and she exclaims. "That's it! It's the holy symbol of ravenkind! Looks like Madam Eva was right, Strahd must have stolen it and hid it here."

Jul 12, 2017 12:58 am
"Thank you for the kind welcome, sir."
It is apparent that Heather is slightly uncertain how to respond, she has never met his kind before. The strange greeting and glowing eyes have caught her by surprise. She is not afraid, just awkward like everyone is when meeting someone of a new culture.
The winged Drow is likewise a new experience for her, and she is uncertain how best to speak to him as well.

Veroth shrugs and secrets the raven symbol on a leather thong around his neck. "We will speak of this at camp." He eyes the reliquary box suspiciously. Realizing that they are exposed to the many dangers of the swamp, he tucks it into his Handy Haversack (tm) and stretches out his wings to their full extent, shaking them to free them from the cloying mist.

He looks over to Veroth. "We should find out what the symbol is good for. Why the devil would go through the trouble of hiding it here. But first, yes, let us be gone from this unholy muck."

As you make your way back to your horses, you can make a Perception check.

"We're part of a slightly larger group, some of us having remained at the village of Barovia which is probably a mile or so from here. Each of use had a different reason which brought us to Barovia, for those of us not born here, that is. I and brother Roland were summoned to answer the call for he of another fellow Lightbringer who was in Barovia, fighting an undead infestation. Lady Ashly, she remains at teh town for now. And it was quite the infestation, let me tell you... I do believe that brother Darren was looking for the sunsword, a potent artifact against the blighted living-dead, which incidentally enough, was what originally brough Lady Ashlyn and her companions here in Barovia in the first place. Brother Ujjaya over there is looking for a missing man named Jerref Maurgen who allegedly disappeared when he came to Barovia to hunt werewolves. Both Kayleigh, a woman mercenary of some skills, and brother Durgrim here seems to be after some Vistani smugglers, but each for their own reasons. Brother Kuroi, for his part, was looking to establish diplomatic relationships with the monastery of the Ecaterines. As for Ireena and Sir Urik, they are both native of this valley..."

However, the next morning, once we had reached Barovia, we found the body of what appears to be the real messenger, bearing this letter instead. We verified with Ismark, the defunct burgomaster's son and Ireena's brother, and determined the first letter to be a forgery and the second one to be genuine."

"Well, arriving at Barovia, we found an undead outbreak alright. Zombies which seems to possess an unnatural resilience, capable of spreading some kind of disease. We fought our way to the town square, where we found Ashlyn desperately protecting the survivors. Speaking with the local, it quickly became apparent that the plague seems to have originated from the small church in Barovia, however, the townsfolk were quite insistent we talk to a seer called Madam Eva before rushing headlong into battle. A mistake that sadly Lady Ashlyn's companions made, and paid with their lives... We made our way to the Vistani encampment, where Madam Eva resides, and met Sir Urik on the way. A capable man who seems to be the last remaining vestige of an ancient order called The Knights of the Raven. We asked him to keep an eye on the village while we were away."
Weiryn will then give a detailed description with their encounters with Madam Eva and of her tarot cards reading.

While being very adept at making no sounds and staying out of sight, nothing seems to escape Ujjaya's keen eye as he spots him hiding behind some of the few shrubberies which dot the swamp. No signs of his three other friends, however.

And as for that little disturbance, it would seem Strahd has many agents in this land. Every night, our sleep is interrupted by some attack. One worg even managed to run away with some bloody torn piece of clothing belonging to Durgrim, no doubt so that Strahd can cast a scrying spell on him eventually. And during the day, his spies follow us at a distance, observing us and not attacking... This Strahd seems smart, gathering information on us. When we eventually face him, we're going to have a tough fight on our hand I'm afraid, since he'll know so much about us, and we, so little about him..."

Quickly, he turns tail and runs away, his example quickly followed by his three companions who did a better job of concealing their presence. They quickly scatter, making sure that if pursuit is given, it will give whomever is not chased a much better chance of making it out alive and delivering their report to whomever it is they are working for... As they run away, despite them not taking care to conceal their presence anymore, you do notice that their movement are noticeably quiet and blends themselves with the natural movement of their surroundings. What sort of magic is at work here? Could it be the potions they were thinking of when Weiryn managed to read their mind earlier in town?
Jul 13, 2017 12:23 am
Weiryn then answers Heather's question.
"Yes, them. There were four of them when we met them in town earlier this morning, and it was quite obvious they were spying on us. When we left town, it made sense for the four of them to follow us."

Heather grins. "It seems Sarenrae has delivered me to the people who can help me the most with my quest. You have done half the work before I arrived!"
Jul 13, 2017 1:10 am
Weiryn continues.
"Hardly. We still need to find the sunsword, then figure out how to bond those items to us, and I have a feeling that killing Strahd will be easier said than done... We haven't stepped inside the castle yet, who knows what awaits us within."

You eventually reach the edge of the swamp at the point where you (everyone but Heather) entered it. You find Roland's cart and mule there, well and untouched.

Durgrim hops on and takes the reins. "I'll drive again, so ye can keep yer hackbutt ready. Hop on, Heather, lest ye wish to walk."
Jul 15, 2017 5:54 am
Darren smiles at Heather, "Welcome to the group, then. It's good to have you along." he says in welcome, "May the Light watch over you."

Heather jumps into the cart with Durgrim. "I am certain Sarenrae will bless our quest. The light will will shine on us all."
Jul 15, 2017 5:10 pm
You start making your way back to the village of Barovia as a distant rumble of thunder echoes from the sky, and a drizzle falls from the dark clouds overhead. You make the journey without any difficulty, however, by the time you make it back to Barovia, you are absolutely drenched and the roads have already turned muddy. You make it to the town square where you are surprised to see Lady Ashlyn and Kayleigh out in the rain, as if keeping watch for something. No signs of Kuroi or Sir Urik. As she sees you approaching, Kayleigh waves at you wile shivering. "Greetings! I see we have a new addition to our group. I am Kayleigh, sword for hire. Well, more like axe for hire, but nobody uses that expression so..."
Jul 17, 2017 6:01 pm
Weiryn will inquire with Kayleigh.
"What are you and Ashlyn doing outside keeping guard? Anything happened while we were away?"
Kayleigh will then answer.
"Yes, sadly. Like what Madam Eva seems to have told you, killing the blaspheme in the church did not stopped the outbreak, but merely slowed it down. Soon after you left, some of the survivors got attacked by two more undead. They're okay, we managed ton intervene quickly enough, but it seems there are still a few undead left. Kuroi and Sir Urik are out on patrol, thinking of using their crows to scout ahead for undead. I'm not sure how successful they'll be with that rain though."
Weiryn thinks for a moment.
"Perhaps I should remain in Barovia from now on, give you four some magical back up for fighting off those remaining undead."

He then turns to the rest of the party.
"If any of you are still wounded, you might want to come closer so I can take care of your wounds as well."
And with this, he'll channel positive energy to take care of the wounds of Kayleigh, Ashlyn, and anyone else requiring healing.

Also seeing as we are waiting on the healer to prepare, and for all of us to rest, Roland will use this time to clean and reload all his weapons.

Roland finds himself a secluded area to read the journal in peace. There are many entries which describes his daily duties as a priest, then some mentions his son's death on the old Svalich Road and his eventual descent into madness, but two particular entries stand out from the rest...

Veroth, sitting on the church roof, realizes that he has been holding onto the symbol of ravenkind. He discretely flies down and finds the others to discuss what they should do with it.
Jul 19, 2017 9:43 pm
Once her spells are healed Heather walks up to Veroth casting 2 iterations of Lesser Restoration to heal is ability damage. After Veroth has received her treatment Heather walks over to Roland as he is reading the journal. His damage is more extensive than she is used to treating but she does her best.
Once Roland is healed Heather asks.
"What is this book that has capturesd your attention so?"

Veroth recalls several instances where he has discerned a devices usage simply by experimenting with it. He is half tempted to try that here, but he recalls rare events where the object has reacted badly to his probings. He knows that the symbol is a holy relic and deserves respect. "Soft ones not damage it. Much caution needs." He reviews his words in his head, and nods.

There are some mention of the holy symbol in the journal, as probably the only thing in this land capable of keeping Strahd at bay. He also mentions accompanying Indirovich, the old Burgomaster to Castle Ravenloft's throne room, which suddenly jogs your memory about Madam Eva's reading. There is also mention of some sacrifice of wealth which was needed in the ceremony, the exact amount left vague...
Jul 20, 2017 1:06 pm
Ireena will then speak up.
"Again, I'm no expert in magic, but can't any of you use some sort of spell to try and determine anything about the holy symbol of ravenkind? I swear I've heard stories of mage capable of divining this sort of things... Or maybe I'm just speaking nonsense..."

The group makes its way back to the Blood on the Vine Inn, trudging through the muddy streets of Barovia. They meet very few locals, probably because of the bad weather, probably because there might still be zombies roaming around (not that the party encounters any on their way to the inn).
As you enter the inn, Arik the innkeeper greets you. You notice the rest of the party is at the inn, which will be the first time Heather meets Kuroi (a crow-headed humanoid), and Sir Urik (an older gentleman in armor with a silvered sword resting at his hip). Seeing you, Weiryn suddenly looks worried as he approaches you.
"Suffer no false life brothers. I did not expect seeing you all so soon. Is there anything wrong?"

Kayleigh then glares at weiryn.
"Do not try to pass this oversight of yours on me!"
Weiryn then answers sheepishly.
"Oh no, far from me... Well since I'm going to cast a spell, if you have anything else which might require identifying. Ujjaya, found anything of interest on that old crone back at the swamp?"

"Why yes, I completely forgot about these!" Ujjaya says, fishing in his pack. He retrieves the items he found on the crone and lays them all out on the table: 72 gold pieces, a black pearl, a citrine, a garnet, a moonstone, a scroll and a wand.

Weiryn begins by casting Detect Magic.
"Okay, the holy symbol, the scroll, and the wand are definitely magical, the rest are simply mundane, if valuable objects..."
He continues to concentrate for a while and then attempts to identify the objects.
"The scroll is a scroll of detect thoughts, the wand is a wand of burning hands which is fully charged. As for the holy symbol of ravenkind, a very interesting object indeed. It is a a phylactery of faithfulness, and of course, can be used as a holy symbol by any good divine spellcaster for things which usually require a holy symbol, and this regardless of religion. If used to channel energy through it, it will also flare up for about 6 seconds in a manner similar to a light spell. I feel there is more however, as if more powers can be unlocked once the item has been bonded. It is probably a scaling item, like those galvanic gauntlets I'm wearing."

Then there is also the fact that we also have no idea what other powers might appear once the item is bonded.

"So, where are we going exactly?"
Weiryn will explain.
"Madam Eva spoke of an old place, one near the setting sun that predates the evil that has come on this land. A place which predates Count Strahd and his family. I guess that means there must be some ruins somewhere west of the crossroads..."
Sir Urik thinks for a moment...
"Hmm, yes, I do remember hearing some tales about that. Apparently, further west, there used to be another crossroads, one which led to land beyond this valley. It fell under disrepair several centuries ago for reasons unknown. Perhaps there were some dwellings along this old road? Those would have been swallowed up by the Svalich Woods however. We'd be going into werewolf territory..."
Ireena will chime in.
"Perhaps my brother would know more. He was groomed to succeed my father as the burgomaster after all and is well-versed in the history of the valley."

As you enter, drenched from the rain, Ismark greets you.
"Ah, welcome, welcome. Please, come in before you catch a cold."
Ismark looks like a completely different man now that he has sobered up.

"I would ask you what brought you here on such a wonderful day, but I won't lie, the weather is absolutely dreadful... Ah, typical Barovia... Oh, I see you have a new companion... And she has the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind? Marvellous! You found it! Oh, this is great news! Great news indeed."
He then turns to greet Heather with a bow, not in the same gentlemanly fashion as Sir Urik had done earlier, however.
"I am Ismark Indirovich, humble burgomaster of this little town. Well, I sort of am even though the ceremony to officialize my position will be held later this week..."
Ismark continues.

" It is a pleasure to meet you, Ismark. You seem to be familiar with the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind. Do you have any information on how it is used?"
Jul 26, 2017 4:17 pm
"No, sadly. My father knew how to use it, but he never got around to tell me and my sister Ireena here how to do it before he died..."
Ireena interjects.
"You mean before he was murdered."
Ismark continues.
"Err... yes... My sister and I tried to use it, but to no avail. Then it got stolen. I guess the group went on to speak with Madam Eva and told you where to find it. If so, I'm sure she already gave you clues on how to use it as well... This woman is wise beyond her years."

"What about the old road that leads west of here? Would there be any old buildings or such out that way? We believe the sunsword to be in that direction."
Jul 26, 2017 4:56 pm
Ismark is pensive for a moment.
"Old road... old road... Oh yes. Come to think of it, there is an old ruin somewhere west of the crossroads. According to the history books that my grandfather—gods rest his soul—used to have, this land is much older than even that devil Strahd. This ruin probably dates back to that time. It can't be much of anything anymore, but it could be the lair for some of the devil's creatures. My grandfather said that a powerful wizard lived there a long time ago, maybe even a thousand years, and she dealt with creatures from... elsewhere. Back then, there was another crossroads further west, near the Lysaga Hills which led to lands none of us have ever seen. That road is gone now, and I can't even tell you where it might have been, except that it must have been near the Lysaga Hills. But the ruin was along that road. We don't go out there ourselves because the woods have been too dangerous for common folks for years and years. And I hear wolfmen are in the woods too, living with the wolves we hear every night."

"Being as these woods are known for the lycanthrope, what all do we know about their kind?

Knowledge (nature)."If you want to know about lycanthropes, I suggest you find the local werewolf hunter, Janis Barahg. A rather dour fellow, but competent at what he does, or so I've heard... However, we haven,t seen him in town since the undead outbreak."
Sir Urik will then speak.
"Yes, I know the fellow. I had the occasion to work with him a few time when my struggle against the dark forces of this valley took me into the Svalich Woods. I do not entirely approve of his methods or of his desire for vengeance against the werefolk which borders an obsession, but he is indeed capable of holding his own in a fight."
Jul 28, 2017 10:30 pm
"I do not know. He lives outside of town, this much I can ascertain. But every time we worked together, he found me, not the other way around..."
Jul 29, 2017 2:46 pm
Veroth squints and listens to the others. His mind flits from bit to bit and he tries to look suspicious so as not to give away how hard it is to follow the chaotic ebbs of human speech.
"Perhaps we ask provisioner. He must needs food and things."

Isrmak will chime in again.
"We do see him from time to time in town, maybe once a month or so. Sometimes he comes to sell pelts and then purchases some arrows from Bildrath and a good meal from Arik at the inn. He's bound to realize that eventually the undead outbreak in the village has ceased..."

You head back towards the town square where Bildrath's Mercantile is located. The rain still continuing to fall. As you enter his establishment, Bildrath, looking as a weasel as much as ever, looks up and greets you.
"Well, hello there, welcome to my store."
His smiles soon fades as he spots Roland within the group.

At first, Bildrath is very weary of the strange-looking strix, but then, at the mention of a possible payout, his eyes light up and he almost licks his lips.
"Worth my while eh? Yeah, I might know where he lives... depending on how much you're willing to pay for that information..."

He then mumbles something under his breath about "winged savages". He then becomes all business-like once again.
"Listen, unless you're here to buy something from me, then you're wasting my time."
Aug 2, 2017 4:40 pm
Roland stands up and walks intently back inside.
"Don't you ever tire of running your gods forsaken mouth? Listen Shopkeep, for Palaver is done.We will have answers to our questions to save this town from its accursed beings. In order to do so we need to know where this man is. You can either get on board and help out, or I can have the Burgomaster declare a state of emergency and force you to get on board. And if I have to go about it that way, you best believe I will be taking more than a little information. Now out with it you yellow coward. Real warriors have warriors work to do, and you have stood in our way long enough"

Bildrath almost chokes on his own saliva after hearing Roland's threat. Clearly, the threat of having to part with his goods for free to help the citizen of this village is too much for him to bear...
"You... you wouldn't... Hmm... alright, I'll tell you where Janis lives, but then I no longer want to have to deal with any of you ever again. You promise to not come bother me ever again, and I'll tell you where he dwells."

"Fine. He found himself some small box canyon behind the Lysaga Hill. Apparently the place is quite defensible, plus, he's counting on the bad reputation of the nearby hill so that no one will come snoop around. Not entirely sure how wise it is to set up camp near a witch's sabbat, but hey, it seems to have worked out fine for him so far... Now I fulfilled my end of the bargain. Leave. I don't want to see any of you in my store ever again."
Aug 3, 2017 2:42 pm
Roland turns silently, and walks out of the store. He will then sit back down on the porch, and consult his map, locating the place the shopkeep described.
Aug 3, 2017 2:58 pm
Heather walks up to Roland and also looks at the map. This is her first view of the whole area and she tries to remember as much of the map as she can.
To Roland she says "You have certainly left an impression on the shop keeper."

"He refused to open his doors and sell my companions the goods they needed to finish wiping our the undead. So I threatened to blow his doors right off his shop with a keg of black powder. Now I have had to threaten him again just to get him to tell us where a man lives. He is a coward and a blow hard. think nothing of him."
Aug 3, 2017 6:49 pm
Hiding a smirk Heather offers some advice. "You will find you will catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but your tactics have been effective so far. Hopefully we will no longer need his assistance."
Aug 3, 2017 6:53 pm
"So far as I can tell, none of the rest of the group agreed to not shop here. I simply stated that if he told me what I wanted to know that he would never see my face again. We have people who can buy for us through proxy if need be. And when the town is saved and they look to us as the heroes who saved them then he will have ruined his good name by refusing to serve us. Which in turn will ruin him and allow for a new shop to open and be run by someone who isn't a complete buffoon. Or we will die trying to save this place, and we won't need his store anyway. Fate is a wheel and ever does it roll. But I am rambling. I do that when my blood gets up."

Aug 4, 2017 1:03 am
Ireena will lean over to to se the map Roland is drawing.
"Lygasa Hill would be further west past the crossroad. At some point the old Svalich Road turns north and does a switchback as it climbs a slope in order to bridge over the Ivliss River, above the Tser Fall. The Lygasa Hill would be located somewhere in the curb made by the road turning north and the switchback. If Janis is camping 'behind Lygasa Hill' as Bildrath told us, then I'd guess it must be further west passed the hill. That is the only thing I can think that would make sense..."

"Aye. Shall we head out again?" Durgrim re-mounts Roland's kart, taking the reins.
Aug 4, 2017 10:32 pm
You make you way along the muddy sinuous road which weaves along the hilly terrain of the valley. You eventually reach the crossroads, the gallows and small cemetery still there, but no supernatural manifestations this time around... Continuing past the crossroads, the road dips southward for a moment, then heads back due west, before slowly turning north. You then see the large outline of the Lygasa Hill slowly growing in size as you approach. From the direction you're coming from, it looks like a high and steep climb ahead of you. It is quite obvious that Roland's mule will not make it up that slope, and scaling the steep slope looks like a daring endeavour even if it wasn't raining... It would seem that you'll have to follow the road for a while longer and probably look for a better angle of approach once you reach the switchback.
Aug 5, 2017 9:48 pm
"I dinnae' like the look of this place. Let's keep our ears to the ground, eh?" Durgrim scowls at the outline of the hill.

And does the usual paranoid Dwarf detect undead sweep every know and then."I doubt you have a long enough rope my feathered friend. Besides, some of us are wearing rather bulky armor, not to mention we'd still be leaving the mule and cart unguarded at the bottom of the hill. Seems like our best bet is to continue to the switchback which slowly climbs up the incline some distance further north and see if we can't find a better way there. Besides, our destination is behind that hill, not on top of it."
Aug 6, 2017 4:39 pm
"I agree with Urik, let's look for a better path," Darren says. If he sees everyone in agreement, he will continue forward.

Veroth looks to the sky. "I could scout ahead, see paths from above. Flying being may draw attention. Do you want me to proceed?"
Aug 7, 2017 7:27 am
Durgrim shrugs, and looks around. "Me guess is we're already be drawin' the attention. This 'ere cart of ours makes enough of a kerfuffle to wake mountain trolls. At least we'd see them as well as them hearin' us if ye go scoutin'. Still, stay safe and get back 'ere at the first sign of trouble brewin'. Ye'r an awfully open target while ye'r up there."
Aug 7, 2017 1:44 pm
Veroth nods and takes to the sky. He flies up the road a bit and then gains altitude (with as subtle movements as he can to minimize detection), surveying the way ahead to detetmine the best route for their wagon.

Veroth flies up to try and get the lay of the land. The rain does makes it a bit difficult to perceive details though. Still, Veroth will se the switchback some 1200 feet or so ahead which turns south-west before heading back north-east and fading away in the haze of the rain. In tne south-west bend, he notices the road coming rather close to the Lysaga Hill, which sort of look like a fat crescent from above. He also notices some sort of ruin on top the hill. He will notice two likely candidates for the boxed canyon. One relativel close to teh road which heads back up north-east, and another one some distance south-west of the southern most tip of the Lygasa Hill "crescent" but which would require a considerable trek through the wood (the road only approaching the western tip of the Lygasa Hill "crescent").
Aug 7, 2017 5:34 pm
Veroth swirls back down to the road and flies back to the wagon just under treetops height. As he alights in front of them, he will describe what he has seen.
Aug 7, 2017 5:41 pm
"Given what we know about this hunter, he is most likely in the more secluded place. It's where I would be. I say we get as close to the close entry point as we can and then walk from there. I doubt he is there, but might as well check on the way by."
Roland changes the loads in his pistol to silver, just to be safe.

"You said you had run into undead here before. I have a spell that can hide us from such creatures, I also have a spell that will warn me if any are within a 60ft radius. Do you think it would be wise to cast either of these before we enter the woods?"
Aug 7, 2017 6:25 pm
"I don't think the undead are what we are likely to face out here. This man hunts the lycanthropes. He probably has put himself here to do that job."

"I see, I misunderstood the danger." Heather takes out her crossbow, just in case.
Aug 7, 2017 11:17 pm
You continue on your way on the muddy road, eventually reaching the switchaback heading south-west and the turnaround which would lead you back up north-east to continue the climb. From here you can see the forest close to you the south, the Lysaga Hill rising above the treeline maybe some 50 feet or so off into the forest.
Sir Urik shields his eyes with a hand raised to his forehead, attempting to see in the distance.
"Hmm, I was hoping the elevation would grant us a better point of view, but this darn forest is in the way... So, which of the two canyons do we try first? The one further north along the road or the one deep in the forest to the south?"

You make your way into the forest, progressing slowly as you have to find your way using the cart. You've travelled a bit in the forest, when you notice the forest thins somewhat as you make your way deeper among the trees. Dim gray light spills through the trees, and the ground is chocked with undergrowth. A wide swath of clearer ground forms something like a path or a trail, though there are no clear marks of anything passing this way. As you maneuver the cart to try and reach the trail, an elf suddenly burst from behind a tree he was using as a hiding place, some 90 or so feet in front of you. He has a longbow drawn and pointed towards.
"What evil do you bring in this forest?"
He calls out, first in Elven, then in accented Common.
As the elf diverts most people's attention, Veroth will notice a single wolf sneaking toward the party on the southern edge of the path.

A wolf which was hidden in the underbrush right next to Ujjaya will burst from its hiding place and attack Ujjaya. The second wolf Veroth spotted will also burst out of its hiding hiding place and attack Ujjaya. The elf, for his part will shoot two arrows at Heather.

No CMD vs. Trip attack? Ujjaya's CMD is 25.[ +- ] Deathless Spirit
Particularly strong-willed aasimars possess celestial spirits capable of resisting the powers of death. They gain resistance 5 against negative energy damage. They do not lose hit points when they gain a negative level, and they gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against death effects, energy drain, negative energy, and spells or spell-like abilities of the necromancy school.

Veroth's rapier pierces the wolf deep between two ribs, making it yelp from pain. Veroth is pretty sure he got a vital organ, but the wolf is still standing up, if looking worse for wear...
Ireena will make her way to the wolf. Not sure how difficult it is to hit, she'll only take a -2 Power Attack, still wanting to drop it as quickly as possible to help Ujjaya. Ireena connects with a powerful attack... only to lightly scratch the wolf.

[ +- ] Improved Unarmed Strike
You are considered to be armed even when unarmed—you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you attack foes while unarmed. Your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your choice.
[ +- ] Unarmed Strike d8
At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk's attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes.
Usually a monk's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but he can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on his attack roll. He has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A monk's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
At 7th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
A monk also deals more damage with his unarmed strikes than a normal person would, as shown on the Monk Progression Table.

Your fists and monk weapons gain the power of your beliefs and can strike evil opponents for extra damage.
Level: 4th.
Replaces: This benefit replaces the ki strike (magic) class feature.
Benefit: When you have at least 1 ki point in your ki pool and hit an evil creature with your unarmed strike attack or with a monk melee weapon, your attack is considered good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. Holy strike is a supernatural ability.

Roland spends a grit point to use Dead Shot against the wolf.Feats used: Deadly shot, Point blank shot, firearms go against touch AC
Assuming a 20 hits against touch ac the damage total is 32 considered to be from a single attack. Bullets not silvered.
[ +- ] Dead Shot (Ex): At 7th level, as a full-round action, the gunslinger can take careful aim and pool all of her attack potential into a single, deadly shot. When she does this, she shoots the firearm at a single target, but makes as many attack rolls as she can, based on her base attack bonus. She makes the attack rolls in order from highest bonus to lowest, as if she were making a full attack. If any of the attack rolls hit the target, the gunslinger’s single attack is considered to have hit. For each additional successful attack roll beyond the first, the gunslinger increases the damage of the shot by the base damage dice of the firearm. For instance, if a 7th-level gunslinger firing a musket hits with both attacks, she does 2d12 points of damage with the shot, instead of 1d12 points of damage, before adding any damage modifiers. Precision damage and extra damage from weapon special abilities (such as flaming) are added with damage modifiers and are not increased by this deed. If one or more rolls are critical threats, she confirms the critical once using her highest base attack bonus –5. For each critical threat beyond the first, she reduces this penalty by 1 (to a maximum of 0). The gunslinger only misfires on a dead shot if all the attack rolls are misfires. She cannot perform this deed with a blunderbuss or other scatter weapon when attacking creatures in a cone. The gunslinger must spend 1 grit point to perform this deed.

From her vantage point on the wagon Heather uses Summon Monster III to summon 1 small fire elemental in a position to flank the wolf.The elemental will immediately use its slam attack against the wolf. If the attack is successful the wolf has a DC 11 save or he is lit on fire.
[ +- ] Summon Monster Spell
School conjuration (summoning) [see text]; Level bard 1, cleric 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S, F/DF (a tiny bag and a small candle)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect one summoned creature
Duration 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell summons an extraplanar creature (typically an outsider, elemental, or magical beast native to another plane). It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. The spell conjures one of the creatures from the 1st Level list on Table 10–1. You choose which kind of creature to summon, and you can choose a different one each time you cast the spell.
A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities. Creatures cannot be summoned into an environment that cannot support them. Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells with expensive material components (such as wish).
When you use a summoning spell to summon a creature with an alignment or elemental subtype, it is a spell of that type. Creatures on Table 10–1 marked with an "*" are summoned with the celestial template, if you are good, and the fiendish template, if you are evil. If you are neutral, you may choose which template to apply to the creature. Creatures marked with an "*" always have an alignment that matches yours, regardless of their usual alignment. Summoning these creatures makes the summoning spell's type match your alignment.
Summon Monster III
School conjuration (summoning); Level bard 3, cleric 3, sorcerer/wizard 3
This spell functions like summon monster I, except that you can summon one creature from the 3rd-level list, 1d3 creatures of the same kind from the 2nd-level list, or 1d4+1 creatures of the same kind from the 1st-level list.

Also, per the description of the "Shock" enchantment, you can turn it off at will."Upon command, a shock weapon is sheathed in crackling electricity that deals an extra 1d6 points of electricity damage on a successful hit.

The rules in the combat section are broad, in the we in on Nonlethal damage, saying that "You can use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage instead, but you take a -4 penalty on your attack roll."

Roland draws his revolver loaded with silver bullets and begins searching the wolves.

Well, they're wolves, so it's not like they're carrying gears... unless Roland suspects the wolves to be more than meet the eye, in which case he should find a way to know for sure...
Aug 29, 2017 4:17 pm
Darren approaches one of the wolves and presses his silver hammer against its flesh, to see if it reacts in any way. He's not too familiar with lycanthropes, so he's unsure if it will have any effect.
Aug 29, 2017 4:20 pm
Less worried aboutbgear than i am making sure they are dead at this point. Are they still actively breathing or bleeding. Etc.
Aug 29, 2017 5:05 pm
Yes, both wolves are still breathing. One seems to be stabilized, and the other one is dying. Darren fails to notice any effect by simply pressing silver against the wolves' skin. Perhaps the weapon needs to actually hurt the creature in order to produce anything special. Although you do remember Sir Urik's silver sword and Veroth's silvered rapier inflicting normal damage on the wolves...
Aug 29, 2017 5:09 pm
"all of these creatures are still alive. I recommend we make haste in binding them, or choose to kill them."
Roland reaches into his haversack and pulls out 50 feet of silk rope and begins binding the elf creature.

As Veroth keep an eye out, Ireena and Sir Urik will be divided on the fate of the prisoners. Ireena, considering they are werewolves, thinks they should be put to death as they are a menace to the people of Barovia. Sir Urik on the other hand is willing to give them a chance, confiscate their gear, and send them on their way with a warning that if they are met again, they will not be so lucky next time. Ireena is not too happy with this, demanding Sir Urik how many lives does he think this chance may end up costing, and to this Sir Urik will replay that the group simply cannot take the law in their own hands and murder people for crimes they may or may not have committed and for crimes they may or may not commit in the future...
All this while, Veroth will be sure that the group is in no immediate danger.

Durgrim frowns at the fallen beasts. "If they are indeed werewolves, it is our duty as Lightbringers to rid this land of them. If they are beasts they should be put out of their misery, unless they are of value to us through this elf.." He takes out a length of rope and binds the elf's hands and feet.

Heather is also against killing the prisoners.
"Execution should be reserved for only the most heinous of crimes. As far as we know these things were only trying to protect themselves against a heavily armed group of strangers."

If we can convince the werewolves to stop attacking the villagers, as evil as they might be, I think we should take that opportunity. After all, once Strahd is dealt with, hopefully this valley will be opened to the rest of the world, so it should not be too difficult for the villagers to find and hire mercenaries if the werewolves refuse to honor their end of the bargain..."

Outraged at the shift for diplomacy, Durgrim scowls at both Roland and the werewolves. "I'll be damned by Torag before I let evil free to hunt innocents." Nodding at Ujjaya's words he douses his temper somewhat. "Aye, Brother. I share yer sentiment. We honor life, but any honor they deserve is long void, I say we put the hammer to them."

Darren shakes his head, "I'm sorry, brother, but I will not suffer them to live. The punishment for what they've done is death," he says sadly, "I wish there were another way, but they can't be trusted. Any deaths that occurred from allowing them to live would be on us."

"Most recently, it was just down the path back toward the town. Three elves, at least elves once they were dead. Not our first encounter - wolves seem to follow us, unnatural like."
He carefully draws his rapier to reveal six inches of the blade, before resheathing it fully. "At least some of us have silver."

"Hmm, guess I got careless camping in the same place for too long, those furry tree-huggers were getting close to me. Well, maybe this is all for the best. You can tell your friends they can come here."
Sep 24, 2017 1:54 am
Veroth nods and jogs off back to the others.
"I found Janis, and he invites all of you to his camp. He might be a paladin - least, he didn't try and kill me straight off," he adds grimly.

"Well done, Brother Veroth!" Ujjaya says, seeming relieved. He has been more withdrawn than usual after the execution of the werewolves. It's not the killing itself that bothers the monk -- it's the things that were said. He cringes at the memory of some of his own words and knows he must seek atonement. Veroth's discovery is a welcome distraction from such thoughts, and Ujjaya follows the strix's lead with renewed purpose.
Sep 24, 2017 11:46 am
Heather is also happy to have found their next lead and quickly joins the others to go meet this Janis.
Sep 24, 2017 4:03 pm
"Oh no dear friend. He's definitely not a paladin, that much I can assure you. Any paladin acting like he does would have lost his paladinhood long ago. He's seems to be more like some sort of ranger, albeit, one specialized in hunting creatures."
Sep 26, 2017 6:35 pm
You make your way further down the boxed canyon, leaving the cart behind. You eventually reach an encampment where you see a scarred man gathering the rest of his gear which he had disposed to look like a sleeping body under a blanket. He turns to look at you, and then gives a quick nod of acknowledgement to Sir Urik who returns the nod. He then silently waits for you to speak first.
Sep 26, 2017 7:00 pm
"Hyle Janis, long days and pleasant nights. I am roland, gunslinger. We have come seeking allies in the fight against the curses of this land."
Sep 26, 2017 7:31 pm
"So you seek to kill werewolves. I'll admit, I've done well all by myself, but I wouldn't mind a helping hand. No matter how many I kill, they still keep coming. I wonder if they're not calling in some sort of elven reinforcement from outside the valley to replace those I've killed..."
Sep 26, 2017 7:36 pm
"We captured and interrogated some on our way to you. They are agents for the vampire strahd. If we eliminate his power in this region then the wolves will no longer have the pull to outside clans. They will be weakened and more easily defeated. We seek to cut the head off the snake so to speak."
Sep 26, 2017 7:43 pm
"Pardon the interruption, but you said you work alone... Have you met a man named Jerref Maurgen?"
Sep 26, 2017 9:50 pm
"No, they don't work for Strahd. More like they're smart enough not to get in his way. And if they told you they did, they lied to you. As for killing him, a noble goal for certain, but I believe the werewolves to be a more pressing matter. Strahd may be powerful, but he is alone, his predations are limited and isolated. The werewolves, those savage beasts are another matter entirely. They will not hesitate to attack anyone outside of the relative safety of the village."
He then turns to Ujjaya.
"No, I have never heard of that person. Should I have?"
He then turns to Ujjaya.
"No, I have never heard of that person. Should I have?"

"These werewolves in ruins. Are those ruins west of the Crossroads leading to Lysaga Hills?"
Oct 1, 2017 3:49 pm
"Yeah. So you heard of the place. Well, the word 'ruins' is a bit generous. Outside of that short tower, there isn't much left there..."
Oct 4, 2017 8:43 pm
"Maybe. I haven't explored them to be honest. It would not do me much good to just throw myself in the wolf's den. I fully expect the ruins to be trapped though... At least, that what I would do in their place..."
Oct 4, 2017 8:53 pm
"There is an artifact we seek in those ruins. Would you be willing to join our party for a raid on those ruins?"
Oct 4, 2017 9:41 pm
"Yeah, sure. I get to kill werewolves, you get your artifact, everyone's happy."
Oct 5, 2017 3:23 pm
"Thank you. So what is the plan of action? We could leave for the ruins right now and clear them, but we'll probably have to spend the night there. Or you're welcome to spend the night here and we can go to the ruins first time in the morning."
Oct 5, 2017 3:28 pm
"I reccomend that we all rest and prepare and attack first thing in the morning. We had to kill a few werewolves already on the way in."
Oct 5, 2017 3:31 pm
"Resting here would be for the best, I think. We appreciate the offer, Janis," Darren says with a slight bow.
Oct 5, 2017 10:32 pm
"If we spend the night here, shouldn't we go get the mule and cart and bring them here?"

You set up camp and prepare for the night. Some of you lie down as a few remain awake for first watch. As soon as the sun dips below the horizon, you hear the distant howls of wolves, then some momenta later, you hear them again, but closer this time... then again, much closer... something is coming... and its big...

"That's not usual dire wolf behavior... They tend to be solitary hunters, and when they do hunt in pack, they don't attack large groups like that. Also, judging from those howls earlier, it's like they were making a beeline for us and knew exactly where we were..."
