You wake up on a misty morning, some of you memorizing their spells for the day while the rest of you mill about the camp, packing things up and discussing strategies and what tasks lay ahead on your journey.

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

Veroth wakes after his second nap, and stretches. His wings strain and looks up at the sky longingly, before moving away, hunching down and flapping wildly, the Strix version of pushups. A small dust cloud rises from the ground.

He cuts some dire wolf meat, shaved thin, and brown's it over the coals. He nibbles at it lightly yet distastefully, but with surprise enjoys the stringy texture. He offers some to Ujjaya.

Janis approaches Veroth.

"I'll partake of some of the meat if you don't mind. Not a bad idea you had, might as well cook the meat right away and have some provision. Wolf meat is not the best, but it'll do in a pinch. You seem to have the soul of a hunter in you my feathered friend..."

Janis will cut the rest of the meat and follow Veroth's example and cook it. He will also collect the dire wolves' pelts.

"It'd be a shame to let such nice furs go to waste... Anyways, I know where the ruins are, and they've been there for who knows long, I'm sure they can wait a bit longer... Besides, since you were nice enough to come here with mule and cart, we'll probably have to get back out the way you came: slopes will be too steep for your cart otherwise. So this will also lengthen our journey to the ruins..."

OOC:

Alright, let's take care of the rest of the party then...

As he finished skinning the wolves and cooking the last of the meat, Janis continues.

"Alright, I'll cure that later... Now like I said, I've never went into the ruins proper. No good throwing myself in the jaws of the wolves, both literally and figuratively, but the ruins consist of a short tower and two ruined buildings, the purpose of which cannot be discerned. The tower is still relatively intact and it would be my bet that this is what they're using as a base of operation. It's also very small, so I think it must have some sort of sub-levels. As for what sort of dangers we'll encounter there, I can only make assumptions. Shelters of all type, even man-made ones, tend to attract wildlife of all kind, so we could expect to encounter animals, vermin, and maybe even plant creatures there."

Janis then grabs a branch and starts drawing shapes in the dirt: a small octagon and two other shape above it.

"This octagon here is the tower. Those two shapes here are the ruined buildings. Nothing much more than foundations and the odd piece of crumbling wall at that point... So, any questions? I'm ready when you guys are."

Looking at the rough drawing, Durgrim will notice Janis drew some protrusion off the rough octagon. This looks a lot like a gate, and the room for a stairwell as well.

At Durgrim's question Janis shrugs.

"The front doors are any good place as any."

Janis points the protrusion with his branch.

"Still, if you want to be sneaky, we could always scale the tower and start from the top. It is pretty short... I'm assuming whomever built it run out of funds and decided to call it a day and jut put a roof on what he had already built... so scaling it shouldn't be much of a problem."

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

Veroth, Ujjaya, Roland, and Weiryn (because he is closer to the corpses, will notice that the corpses are in fact Vistanis. They seem to have been mauled by some beasts. Weiryn who is closer will also notice that they are still alive, although unconscious.

Suddenly, Hurrn, Sir Urik's celestial raven companion will become agitated. Veroth will notice a humanoid form covered with fur and with a wolf's head hidden in the underbrush near the party. Ujjaya will notice this creature as well as nother one hidden in the underbrush near where Weiryn is.

You can place your characters on the map. The mai party around the cart I've placed on the map, Weiryn along the eastern edge of the map, up to within 15 feet away from the corpses.

Now is also time to roll initiative. Only those who have spotted the creatures (as well as the creatures themselves) will be able to act during this first surprise rounds.

Speaking of creature, the one next to Darren takes its turn now. It will drop its bow and draw a greataxe. Suddenly the creature seems to be gaining muscle mass and lokking more ursine in appearance. It will then attack Darren with a single mighty swing, hatred and hunger in its eye as it unleashes on Darren.

"I have a spell that will get us some answers from our guest, but I feel I just warn you... It is not a spell on the side of angels. We'll get two questions. If he refuses to answer, the spell will cause pain. It is also entirely possible that refusal could kill him, just as it is possible that he could resist the spell entirely if he is strong enough of body and mind.

But you are Lawful-Good after all and you'd probably feel you should at least give the creature a chance to mend its way before passing any sort of final judgement...

@Veroth: Yes, after being healed, the creature is conscious and glares at you.

At first, when you make the werewolf prisoner, Janis protests.

"Hey, what are you doing? These creatures are a plague upon this land, we should finish him and his unconscious friend over there befroe they cause any more harm."

That might be a bit my fault , I may not have done a good jobe relating distances. Despite having a lot to do to complete this campaign, the valley itself is not THAT big.

The party makes it's way into the woods. the occasional distant howl of wolves remind them that danger is never too far away. Eventually, they reach the ruins Janis had been describing. An old short tower, still standing, but in obvious signs of disrepair, and the remains of two buildings, nothing more than plant infested crumbling foundation sat this point (ignore the interiors of the buildings). You have plenty of time to observe them from a distance to plan your angle of approach.

Hmm, good question... If the weapon has that much recoil that it can knock you prone, what tells me it won't simply fly out of your hands or just smash into you and cause damage if firing it prone... I mean bracing the gun on the ground would certainly get rid of the -4 penalty, but then we'd had to work out what would the effect of its recoil would be on a prone wielder. I'm guessing a Fort save to avoid taking maybe 1d6 bludgeoning damage, but if you succeed, the weapon flies out of your hands instead?

You step onto the roof of the small tower and see that it has weathered the centuries better then the other buildings of the estate. Still, you can see that the floor is breaking apart in some areas. The central part of the level is taken by a 10-foot-square chimney of sorts.

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

The door opens and you see a square room of about 30 feet on each side. Inside, a pile of clothing and gear is scattered to one side, and some kind of marking on the floor peeks out from underneath it. With snarls, two wolverines, with caustic saliva dripping from their maw launch themselves at you while two wolf-women move toward you. Despite their threatening expressions, they move languidly and shiver occasionally.

The wolverines were also readying, so there's going to be a lot of attacks going on right now...

the first wolverine tears into Durgrim for a total of 14 points of damage; 11 for the bite proper, and 3 points of acid damage which will linger for a couple of rounds... the second wolverine misses Darren, and Janis' arrow strike true, making the she-wolf howl from pain just as Janis mumbles an insult to her...

"Yeah, how do you like that you bitch?"

Edit: nope, Janis' arrow would have missed because of cover (others standing in front of the she-wolves).

Ireena is up next (well, there's still Roland and Durgrim's readied actions).

Roland's shots miss their target. One being too wide to the left, the other barely missing the wolverine.

Now the the monkeys are in the the corridor, howling and screeching, Janis takes a quick moment to turn to Ireena, put his finger to his ear, and pushes on it a bit, as to say "what was that? I did not heat you..." then, with a smug smile on his face which could only be described as a shit-eating grin, he ignores Ireena's suggestion, then studies his target as a move action (I'll consider what he did to Ireena to be his swift), and then shoots at the she-wolf, lowering the amount of points he puts in his Deadly Aim...

This infuriates Ireena...

Janis's arrows hit, wonding the she-wolf, making her owl in pain and frustration. Whatever arrow Janis was using, she clearly did not appreciate... Though she is still standing, she is very hurt.

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

The wonded she-wolf moves to the side, taking her out of the range of most archers and gunners of teh group, then takes a small pootion and drinks it, some of her wounds close up.

The other one will unfurl the sling she had been keeping in her hand and throw a stone, which has a suspicious gleam, as if it was covered by some liquid at either Darren or Durgrim (the dice will decide). She targetted Durgrim, but missed lamentably, her stone hitting the roof and landing somewhere behind Veroth.

Oh, almost forgot, monkey damage and a Fort save again for those inside their space (Heather, Darren, Durrim). Everyone in the swarm takes 3 points of damage.

I drew a circle on the map to where you could move in order for the 30-ft. radius to stop at Darren's and Durgrim's position. That would be a 25-ft. movement. If you can't make it there as a single move, well looks like you'll heal the wolverine too...

I can only move 20ft. I don't want to heal the wolverine too. If I stay on the other side of the aisle does the step out mean I will heal Ireena, but not the wolverine?I am still a bit confused because the templates have you in a corner, not within a square.

Janis moves swiftly, circling around one of the she-wolves to make room for others, observing her as he makes his way towards her before striking her.

"Now you have no one to hide behind..."

...and it's a potential critical.

Janis' scimitar easily slides between the icy plate of the she-wolf's armor, finding soft flesh, sinew, and vital organs to slice through. Her cry of pain are almost deafening in this enclosed room. As he slides his scimitar out of her and her blood pools on the floor, you are all surprised to see she survived the ordeal, though she does not look like she's going to be able to continue fighting much longer...

@ Jabes: Yeas, an aid another action. Roll an Escape Artist DC 10, and if you succeed, you can grant Veroth a +2 on his check.

While Veroth tries and nearly succeeds on freeing himself again, Roland gives a potion to Darren (roll 1d8+1 for the amount of HP given back to Darren).

As Roland administers healing to Darren, the party will see one of the fallen she-wolves revert back to her humanoid, half-elven form. From your past encounters with werewolves, you know this means she just died. The other she-wolf is still in her hybrid form, signalling that she is still alive...

While he will fail to find any traps, he will notice a few things. First, there seems to be some equipment underneath the furs which partially covered the runic circle in the south-east. Second, he will notice that the further he moves west, the warmer the room gets. Nothing uncomfortable, but it sure would be a nice place to stay during winter...

"By Torag's Hammer, take a break, Janis!" Durgrim scowls at the hunter. "I'm all for destroyin' evil, but all she's done so far is defendin' her den, and if 'er story of being at war with the true werewolves checks out, well..." He shakes his head in frustration. "Well, we might 'ave to hold a trial, or consult the Gods to figure this one out.."

Standing up, he frowns and points to the prisoner. "Yet, if we find ye've been feedin' on the innocent, ye won't get mercy from me. Justice will be swift!"

Okay, Heather will have also heard the click of the door being locked again.

"Do you have any idea of the evil those monsters have unleashed on this valleys for untold generations? Do you have any ideas what those vile beasts are capable of? And you're willing to let this evil continue unabated with nothing but a mere slap on the wrist as punishment? This is ridiculous! There is no need for us to continue working together, but know this, the blood of this creature's victims is now on your hands!"

With this Janis retrieves some of his arrows and storms off...

Ireena is standing there completely dumbfounded by the hunter's reaction, only speaking once Janis is out of sight (and hopefully out of earshot...) "Wow, okay... and I thought I hated werewolves... I think I understand what Sir Urik meant when he warned us about how obsessed Janis was... Say, is it just me or did that door just sounded like it locked itself again?"

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Master Ryjo. We of the Lightbringers have come to Barovia to clear the land of the undead plague. From what I have noticed, people who come to this land and challenge the vampire Strahd face much in the way of adversity. We have discovered a few things that will help us in challenging him, but we have a ways still to go. If you seek his destruction, you are welcome to come along with me to meet the rest of our team."

He motions to the board that Ryjo holds, curiosity plain on his face. "If I may be so bold, why do you not speak instead of writing on that board? If it is an injury, I would be happy to pray to my Lady to restore the use of your voice."

Once they hear about Strahd, most set off to destroy them, all met a grisly end. If you want to see for yourself, simply go to the graveyard of Barovia at midnight. Then you will see the procession of the damned, all of Strahd's victims..."

He then turns to lead the donkey-drawn cart away.

"Anyways, I must hurry back to Barovia and deliver those goods to a very grumpy dwarf... I bid thee farewell Weiryn and Ryjo. Seems fortune has delivered you a companion with whom to find your friends Weiryn. May the Gods watch over the both of you."

"...when we last parted ways, we had been set upon by werewolves who had severely injured a couple of the Vistani and left them for travellers to find on the road. I accompanied Sir Urik to see to it that they made it to their encampment alive, and now I hurry to reunite with them to tell them what I've learned of the disease that plagued the werewolves' pack. It is my hope that it is not dangerous to one who has not contracted lycanthropy, but I would still feel better knowing we have a cure if it is."

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

Weiryn pulls out a sheet of parchment as he identifies each item, setting aside one headband and one potion after shaking his head for a moment. He adds note to this sheet of parchment, before blowing on the ink to dry it.

"These werewolves were mighty indeed, with the gear they possessed. Heather, is it? This headband here will make your divine magicks more potent. Both of these slings have been enhanced to improve their accuracy and impact. These bracers and rings have abjurative enchantments on them, with the bracers serving as very lightweight armor and the rings a minor deflection enchantment. With us, we have healing potions of various strengths, a potion to enhance one's strength."

He motions to the unidentified potion and headband. "I'll look more into these after I have rested and prepared more Divination magicks. I suspect the headband to be similar to the other, but I want to make sure before any of us use it."

He then turns his attention to the wands...

Weiryn studies the runes. He identifies them as runes of summoning and containment, and something else... It's as if whatever is trapped inside can still move, of sort, probably between this circle and other similar, yet undiscovered ones. Despite their great age, they are still in perfect working order, a testament to the power of whichever wizard must have crafted them in some bygone age...

"This is indeed fascinating...a teleportation circle combined with a summoning and binding circle. If I'm looking at this correctly, then this circle is connected to others, and whatever is bound within can move from circle to circle. In all of my years of study in both Divine and Arcane magicks, I've never seen anything like this."

"If a wizard were to have several towers, or perhaps a suite at a college and a tower, or something similar, then they could use such a setup to acquire an advisor that is bound to them, but cannot be trusted to run free. Such an entity would need to have a way to move from place to place with its wizard "master", yet also a way to be contained so it could not leave the circle once it arrived. Have any of you seen anything in this circle? From what I can tell, it is still active..."

You try to figure out what it is, but you see nothing, only the cobwebs getting disturbed as Durgrim moves around, tracking his movements flawlessly.

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

OOC:

The older posts are archived, but basically to give you the tl;dr, the group each had their personal reason to go to Barovia and met on the way there. Seeing they were all going to the same place, they decided to stick together. At an inn just before getting to Barovia, they were approach by a messenger pretending to cary a message from the burgomaster of Barovia who was looking for heroes to deal with an undead outbreak.

The party headed to Barovia and discovered the body of the actual messenger carrying a message from the burgomaster (in a different handwriting) asking that people condemn this valley and do not come to help them as they were preyed upon by a multi-centiry old vampire called Strahd who seemed to be obsessed with the burgomaster's daughter Ireena.

When the party arrived at the village of Barovia proper, they found there was indeed an undead outbreak (which resulted in some confusion as to what was the purpose of the "false letter" after all). Meeting the survior in the svillage square, they were told about Madam Eva and told to see her as her prophetic visions would tell the party what to do. They also hear rumor that the undead outbreak started at the local chapel of Serenrae.

The party went to visit Madam Eva, asking many questions about the undead, Strahd, the chapel, etc. They learnt that though the outbreak did started at the chapel, Strahd was behind it. They also learnt of 2 artefact which might hurt Strahd: The Sunsword and the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind.

Returning to Barovia, the party noticed they were often followed or observed by what they assumed to be minions of Strahd during the day, and attacked by said minions at night. Eventually they went to the chapel to end the outbreak in the village, killed Danovich the mad priest and his now blaspheme son Dory, and found the Danovich's journal.

The party then set out to find the artefacts to help them fight against Strahd. They already found the Holy Symbol of Ravenloft in a swamp where they fought a sea hag and some giant leeches for it. The party are now looking for the sunsword which was supposed to be hidden in some ruin in the forest, which also happened to be a den of werewolves. As they dealt with the werewolves they learnt of a new mysterious disease which makes people slowly waste away and seems to be beyond teh magical abilities of the people of the valley to cure.

And this is pretty much where we are...

Weiryn sits down after staring intently at the space above Durgim's head for about 30 seconds.

"You've all worked hard laying these poor creatures to rest. Let's rest for a few moments before we determine our next steps."

Weiryn continues to watch the sensor until it fades away, renewing his Detect Magic spell if needed.

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

Weiryn refuses to answer any questions until the sensor disappears, then dismisses his own spell and ribs his eyes.

"It is safe to speak, now. Brother Durgrim, my fears from where we first met have been confirmed. The Worg that attacked you and ran off with a piece of your bloody clothing delivered it to its master, most likely the vampire Strahd. As I have broadened my studies into both the Divine and Arcane arts, I cannot do anything to prevent his spying upon us, though we have about an hour before he will be able to renew his spell."

He turns to look tiredly at the cleric of Saerenrae. "Sister Heather, might I suggest that, when next you request per from your patron, that you request a blessing of Nondetection, and perhaps a method of dispelling any magicks that might be upon our Hammer of Torag? Our foe has a focus with which he can easily spy on our dwarven brother."

Turning back to the monk, he continues. "In answer to your question, the door is very loosely related to the werewolves, whether they knew it or not. The cure to their addiction lies beyond. Being that loose connection, there's not much of a relationship to them."

"Since we're going to seek answers to Madam Eva and we know that Durgrim can be magically observed by Strahd, wouldn't it make more sense that he stays here so that Strahd remains more in the dark as to the progress we're making?"

She then turns to Durgrim

"And I mean no offence, I have nothing against you sir dwarf, I am merely thinking in pragmatic terms. Besides, a strong front-line fighter such as yourself might be needed here if trouble were to find Heather, Veroth, and Ryjo while we're away."

As for those staying behind, you have plenty of time to get to know your new companion as it seems the mysterious fey woman does not seem to be interested in reappearing in her circle... though this discussion might get interrupted as eventually Ryjo will hear some noise and a short whispered discussion in elven. Veroth will fail to pick up on the conversation, but he will hear some disturbance coming from the corridor.

Ah, okay.

At The Ruined Estate.

The werewolves lower their bows somewhat, but not completely as they still seem weary of you. You are technically out of combat... for now.

"Careful dwarf, though you and your friends did us a favor by killing the werewolves here, I do not appreciate your tone... Our purpose was to determine if the other pack of werewolves were using this ruin as their base of operation. Given the number of tracks leading from and to here, it seems they were. They must have been more desperate than we though, the roof of the tower could've fell on them at any moment... Not our concern now though. We will leave and report the death of the other pack to our leaders. Do not attempt to follow us."

With this, the werewolves slowly back out of the corridor, carefully climbing the stairs while walking backward to keep you into their field of vision as long as they can, raising their bows a bit again in order to be ready should you try anything funny...

She grabs her worn tarrot deck in her long bony fingers and flips a first card: The Emperor.

"The tome you seek holds knowledge of the ancient and knowledge of the land."

She then flips the covering card.

"Seek it in the place of blasphemy, where humans plumb their darkest nature. Hmm, this is a card of debasement and debauchery. The tome has become a manual for witches.

She then flips the crossing card.

"If you find the tome and delve into its secrets, you will discover the source of the lord's strength. If you read it carefully, you may also discover how to rob him of that strength. You must find the three defiled places described in the tome. At each fane, you must unearth the relic it contains. When you have all three relics, you must then destroy what you have created."

Ireena will accompany you partway, stating that she can remain in the stairwell. That way, if there is trouble outside, it will be easier for her to hear it from the stairwell rather than the room where you all are, plus she can just shout in the corridor to warn everyone else.

As you step outside, you see a rather surreal spectacle taking place in front of your eyes. It is rather humorous to see actually. The mule is obviously panicked, trying to flee, struggling to turn itself and the cart it is tied to to flee in one direction, only to suddenly stop, try and turn itself and the cart around once more, and then trying to flee in the opposite direction... This cycle repeats itself several time.

Roland and Weiryn can try to Perception check at that point.

As both of you observe the scene, you notice a head, an ethereal one, poking out from the ground from time to time, to look at the mule. This is obviously the source of the mule's panick. However, as focused as you were observing the mule, you missed 3 undead which where hidden nearby and suddenly spring their ambush on you.

Roland and Weiryn can place themselves on the combat map, on the outside of the tower, near the doors or the mule.

The loss of life energy must have affected Weiryn worse than he thinks as he fails to simply touch the creature in front of him.

Ryjo will get up and makes his way towards the stairs with surprising speed.

The ethereal undead will fly to Roland and attack him again, and it somehow misses him...

Roland suddenly hear something big stirring, making the vegetation in the closest ruined victim move... before realizing that it's actually the vegetation itself which is moving! Before he can comprehend what is happening, a vine shoots out fro the mass of the vegetation, heading towards him! Luckily, the vine misses him also, probably coming a bit short as the plant creature did not take into account the remain of the low wall it had to get around...

The corpses are now moving, both will now gang up on Weiryn. Both of them hit, barely, hitting Weiryn for 6 points of damage total (3 each) and 2 more negative levels.

OOC:

@ Shanata: Sadly, it would seem the door has been opened by Ireena and nobody seems to have closed it behind it, that plus the fact taht you started a double move to get to where you are, so no standard actions this round (but I would allow for a passive Knowledge (Religion) check to identify the incorporeal undead as possibly a wraith...), I'm afraid the "wraith" is very much aware of you.

@Kaos: Thanks for the link. So far, the user Kazaan seems to make the best case and it would seem taht with your pistol whip, you do threaten, so Veroth will be able to sneak attack.

Seeing a new victim, the incorporeal undead will move towards Heather and attempt to touch her with its incorporeal touch. Surprising as it is, the creature not only misses but risks a critical fumble... It does not fumble, but came close to overextending itself and accidentally "falling inside the ground" (which would have been a bit disorienting for it)...

The celestial template does not seem to grant this ability, but with high enough HD, it does grants DR (magic). So it would seem the celestial wolves' bite attack is not considered magic as they lack the HD to gain a DR.

Heather's wolves attack, but their bite harmlessly pass through the incorporeal undead without any effect.

Darren is up next.

Flanking seems to be based solely on whether you threaten the foe or not, and not on your ability or inability to hurt it, so I'd say, yes, the wolves would give Darren a flanking bonus.

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.

The fact that they attack to the best of their ability leads me to believe that summoned monsters would not waste time attacking a creature they are unable to hurt. Also, the fact that you can communicate with them and direct them leads me to believe that you are capable of controlling them.

Ryjo will take a step back before Adrith can heal him, put a hand up, and then write on his blackboard and then slap on his board to signal he's done scribbling.

Quote:

As I said previously, I cannot allow people to touch me due to vows I have taken. It's a long story, but let's just say I have a lot I need to atone for... I will gladly accept any other form of healing you can provide, however.

Ireena looks like she wants to talk more, as if she needs to get something off her chest, but Weiryn making his way towards the tower and signalling the party to follow him stops her. Before turning to you, he stops and shudders a bit.

"Bugh... Is it me or is it cold suddenly... Well, as I was saying, all will be answered once we're away from prying eyes and ears."

Apologies Ryjo, I was not aware of your vows. Unfortunately, I was not expecting to meet others, so any of my effective healing would violate that vow. Though I believe Heather might be more equipped than I, being a cleric, to assist. To a lesser degree, I can channel a burst of healing energy.

Noting that it appears as Ireena would speak more, Adrith follows the group out of the open area.

Hmm, I just noticed Ireena will have a level up to make once you guys complete your rest.

The party enters the old crumbling tower, taking a spiral staircase to the tower's sub level. The staircase opens on a large corridor of ancient stone, a lever is in the northern wall about 10 feet from the staircase. Most of the corridor's ground seem to have been melted by incredible temperatures and turned into an uneven mess of jagged obsidian. Compared to the wear on the rest of the corridor, this seem quite recent. Carefully navigating the patch of obsidian, the group make its way int a large chamber with another stone door set in the norther wall. There is a glowing circle in the south-western corner inscribed with glowing runes.

Once in the room, Weiryn turns to you all.

"Ah, I believe we can speak safely here."

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

"A prophecy from a trusted source sent me to investigate. It was a vision of darkness, wrongs to be made right, and evil born of the treason and night. The clues led me here, and I heard the sounds of battle from my path and rushed to help as best I could. After a moment of thought, he decides to extend a measure of trust. After all, the prophecy had mentioned heroes in trouble.

"'Ancient evil born of the treason and night. Seeks to consume the land with undead blight. In the valley of mist wrong must be set right. Fight with symbol of good and sword of light. Heroes in trouble will lend you their might. Deep in the consuming mountains, hear my plight.' This is the prophecy as it was told to me. You all seem to be seeking something yourselves, and the nature of the divine being what it is, I wonder if we seek the same goals?"

kalajel

Nov 20, 2018 4:45 pm

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

Weiryn listens to the prophecy and ponders it for a moment.

"It does sound like it... I wonder if the symbol of good and the weapon of light are not the artefacts we seek... The Holy Symbol of Ravenkind we already found and gave to Heather over here. This is probably the symbol of good. We came here, to this ruin, seeking the Sunsword which a wise woman with the gift of vision told us would be here, somewhere beyond this locked stone door. This is probably the weapon of light. As for the first part of your prophecy, we do know that Strahd seems to be an ancient and powerful vampire... but I do not know anything about treason, but still, this might fit in. As for the undead blight, we did faced an infestation of surprisingly resilient zombies when wee entered the village. We destroyed the immediate source in the church in Barovia, but the real source seems to be Strahd. Again, informations we gleaned from the wise woman. Yes, so far the prophecy seems to fit. It would indeed seem we have similar goals..."

Nov 20, 2018 5:16 pm

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

The dwarf speaks up.

"I think what brother Roland meant is we were all pretty much lured in this valley in some fashion or another and our main goal is to get out, but we realized this is impossible for us to do as long as this Strahd fellow is alive. He seems to have complete control of this valley and of the mist... But still, most of us are Lightbringers and we exist to eradicate undead, so destroying Strahd in order to exit this valley suits us just fine."

He grabs his weapon and looks fondly at it for emphasis.

Then Weiryn shudders a bit again picks up.

"True. The bulk of the original group was brought here by a forged letter which claimed to be from the hand of the burgomaster, but when we showed it to Ireena and her brother both admitted that it was not their father's handwriting. We also found a dead messengers in the woods who seems to have been beset by wolves and who seems to be carrying the original letter penned by the actual burgomaster... hmm, wait, I think I must have both of them in here somewhere..."

Weiryn starts looking in his backpack for the letters.

Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot you picked it a while back...

Weiryn will eventually produce both letters. First the forgery, and then the one from the actual burgomaster.

"We also had secondary reasons to be here in Barovia. Roland and I to help a trio of lightbringers who called for help in dealing with teh undead infestation in the village, Kuroi who stayed in the village to establish diplomatic relations with the Ecaterines monastery and the Knights of the Raven, Ujayya the monk who left with Janis was sent to look for a man who fell prey to werewolves, Kaleigh who's a sword for hire and at the village with Kuroi was sent to investigate gypsies smuggler..."

This last comment makes Durgrim the dwarf grumble...

"...hmm, and brother Darren here was sent to look for the Sunsword to fight some other undead blight outside of Barovia. Hmm, I am sorry, but I am forgetting what brought brother Veroth here...

Durgrim picks up.

"As for me, I accompanied me cousin Orin here with some mercenaries looking to get back goods which were stolen from my cousin by those gypsies... We met this Strahd fellow on the road... I've never met an undead so powerful... me and me cousin were the only survivor, and only because me first instinct was to run... I am not proud of it, but there is nothing else I could have done back then. A lot of good men died covering for our retreat..."

Ryjo seems curious and scribbles on his board.

OOC:

Any rolls needed on this?

Nov 20, 2018 7:04 pm

Re: Act II, Ill Fortunes (the third day)

Weiryn will continue.

"Well, we do know that Strahd sends his agents to spy and gather information on us. We know we have two encounters per day. One during the day where his agents are not hostile and seem more interested in information gathering. And one during the night, where his agents are more hostile, and probably meant to test our strengths and potentially steal something belonging to us so that Strahd might use it against us with magical scrying... It would seem that this was the night attack... It was a bit careless of Roland and I to venture alone out there to investigate, but thanks to Ireena's quick thinking, we managed to avert the worst... Still, we should be more prudent in the future, but I believe we should be safe for the rest of the night. However, if you insist on still exploring the ruins for more enemies, here's what we know so far. On the top of the tower, we found spiderwebs which we did not investigate further. It is reasonable to assume some sort of spider(s) is (are) lairing there. On the other side of that door, the wise woman told us we should expect some sort of fiery creature(s). But they have not bothered to open the door since Veroth unlocked it, and we were camping here specifically for the purpose of confronting them at full power the next day in order to claim the Sunsword for ourselves. Then we sort of forgot about Strahd's agents... So, this pretty much sums up the current situation."

He then thinks for a while...

"Oh yeah, and there is that circle over there... It seems to hold some creature prisoner and linked to others yet undiscovered circles further into the underground complex. But that creature has not bothered us since brother Darren tried attacking it."

Rolls will depend on what exactly you do.

Interesting and useful spell. You're about an hour before sunrise, a bit less because of the battle, the introductions, and the exposition.

Adrith observes the circle. He can roll a Knowledge (arcana) or spellcraft check.

Meanwhile, Roland looks around, his keen eye picking up every minute detail of the room the party is in. After several long minutes of observation, Roland is confident that the party is safe where they are... as safe as one can be in Barovia, that is...

With that said, Adrith will take out the bear trap, and sets it so that it is in the hallway leading into their room, and is staked solidly. Once the trap is set, he takes a hunk of bread, some cheese, and some meat, and eats a light meal, offering some to any that ask.

The the dwarf chimes in again.

"Aye. If Ryjo wants to leave and search for Ujjaya and Janis, I'll probably go with him. Half dead as he is, it might not be a good idea for him to walk alone in a werewolf-infested forest. Besides, I need to drop by the village and see how me cousin is doing. Hopefully he's not doing anything crazy..."

You get some rest for what remains of the night. Nothing else bothers you during the night, and you wake up next day ready to continue on your quest.
