DDAL05-01.1 - Treasure of the Broken Hoard

One of the most famous treasure hunters in the Realms, Veradda Stoor, has put out a call for assistance in tracking
down caches of treasure hidden by the now-defunct Cult of the Dragon in the Greypeak Mountains. Through luck, skill,
and the intervention of your faction, you have been chosen to assist her. You were told to meet her in a clearing along the
Black Road, east of the village of Parnast.

Your trip along the Black Road showed signs of goblin presence, but has otherwise been uneventful. Other travelers
you met claimed to have seen evidence of giant activity: runecovered boulders, huge footprints, and missing livestock. You
saw none of that evidence, however. Maybe it was just the overactive imagination of scared farmers and merchants?

When you reach the rendezvous point, Veradda Stoor is nowhere to be found. Countless footprints of various sizes,
and lots of bloodstains, mar the ground. A search of the area ultimately turns up the body of your would-be employer,
several-hours dead from a variety of wounds.

What is left of her equipment is scattered around the clearing. A large tome holding her notes is open on the ground
near her body. The last several pages have been torn out.

Nikos kneels by the corpse, her sword stuck in the ground as a prop. Having seen no-one else around for the time being, she remains on guard, wondering if it was one of the hired hands, like her, that did this to her in a bid to secure the spoils for themselves. "So much for a legendary treasure hunter..." She mumbles to herself solemnly, before looking out over the carnage. She surveys the area for any tracks or signs that might lead to the woman's attacker.

Thrune spots the stranger as he arrives in the area. He calls out to avoid the chance of startling her as she is searching the ground. "Greetings! My name is Thrune. I am here to meet Veradda Stoor."

Thrune continues as he gets closer and sees the body on the ground. "You don't match the description, but she does. I may be able to help her. Do you know what happened?" He rushes over but realizes there's nothing he can do.

Not far behind on the path is Ruby, softly playing her flute as she follows the path. Spotting several figures, she waves out to them "Hello there! I'm looking for the treasure hunter! Are you with the- oh..." Running up to meet the two, her voice becomes soft as the gruesome scene reveals itself.

"Naught to be done, I'm afraid." Nikos stands up straight, shaking her head. She sheathes her weapon and folds her arms, appraising the two newcomers. "So far, I've no idea what happened to her. I'm looking for anything that might give us an idea of her attacker, though. I suppose you two are here looking for the cult's remaining spoils as well, then?"

She steps forward to Thrune and offers her hand in welcome. "An honor to meet you. They call me the Raging Waves, though Nikos is considerably less of a mouthful." She chuckles and looks to the halfling. "What about you, traveler?"

Rivas watches as the others meet and greet one another before slowly approaching. Without a word, he walks past the gathered adventurers and examines the ground around the corpse of his would be employer. He frowns as he studies the footprints and depressions in the earth.

After a moment he turns his gaze to the tree line and near horizons. Following a quick scan of the region, he faces his fellow adventurers. "Rivas Braloch; Paladin in the service of the Red Knight."

After the briefest of pauses, as though his announcement should have meant something, he adds, "I have no idea whether or not it is a pleasure to meet any of you. I'll find out soon enough. Whoever or whatever did this can't be too far off, and the opportunity for us to learn more of each other will present itself when battle is joined."

"In the meantime, I suggest we are better off working together rather than apart."

"I'm Ruby, last name Tealeaf. I was told to meet here for a treasure-hunt." She pulls out a piece of parchment, at the top reads "ADVENTURERS WANTED" and stashes it back into her pack. "I'm looking for a dragon, or information about their whereabouts and I figured a cult of dragons -gone or not- can help."

Approaching the scene she takes interest in the tome, examining the contents. "Does this happen often with treasure hunting? Finding dead bodies of your employer?" She asks earnestly while shaking her head faintly.

Re: DDAL05-01.1 - Treasure of the Broken Hoard Beg

Searching about you eventually discover several scrolls on the body of Veradda. Here are the notes that you are able to put together based on your scouring of the scolls.

The First Cache. The first treasure cache was hidden by the Cult of the Dragon in an abandoned cave at the base at
of the southernmost mountain in the Greypeak range. While it was thought to be the smallest of the caches, it is also
not thought to be protected by any traps or magic. The caves and tunnels of the complex, according to my sources,
are not very structurally sound. Goblins are known to inhabit the area.

The Second Cache. My sources confirmed that one cache was buried beneath a unique structure: a pyramid of
stone resting on a flat field of stone in the middle section of the Greypeaks, directly between the two highest
mountains of that section of the range. The area was once rent with volcanic activity, making the flat stone field
difficult to navigate. My sources could not tell me who or what built the boulder pyramid.

The Third Cache. The source I questioned about this cache said that it was carefully hidden behind a secret
entrance in the wall of a green-sided mountain. There is only one of those in the Greypeak range, according to my
research. The source also said that the cultist who hid the treasure was an expert in magical curses.

The Fourth Cache. This cache was secured in an abandoned dwarven outpost used for treating ore that was being
prepared for use in weapon-smithing. My sources implied that the place had been overrun by something terrible and
immortal, causing the dwarves to leave it centuries ago. Subterranean volcanic activity has been reported in the area
regularly over the years.

The Fifth Cache. At the top of the tallest summit of the Greypeaks, one contact told me that there is an abandoned
shrine once revered by giants. Dragons used the area as a perch since then, and a cache is going to be hidden there.
Someone also told me that occasionally, when the wind is blowing in just the right direction, a pealing of loud bell
can be heard from there.

Not to gripe, but would it be possible to fix the formatting on those posts in future? Makes it kinda hard to read.

Nikos looks quite taken aback by the sudden and great shift in the man's accent, but shakes her head of it. She then turns back to the halfling woman behind her. "You're... Looking for a dragon? I hope you've a very good reason... Anyways." She looks at the book and scans down through the notes. "Judging by her description, the first cache would be the nearest. So, yes. I believe it would be best to start there... Although, we should take care not to meet the same fate as our employer here. I imagine her attacker may still be around."

OOC:

Did Rivas and I find any clues as to her attacker?

"If anyone would like a some divine assistance with their examinations, please let me know. Meanwhile, I need to check our unfortunate employer to see if I can determine how to honor her deceased soul before we bury her."

Thrune checks for holy symbols or other clues while he tries to remember rituals from other faiths.

Re: DDAL05-01.1 - Treasure of the Broken Hoard Beg

Unfortunately, searching the area doesn’t provide you any additional clues as to who may have committed this crime. The tracks are clearly humanoid of various sizes but little else can be determined. They lead off to the West back in the direction of Parnast.

Thrune finds no indication as to Veradda’s religious affiliations. After careful thought you feel as though you could either bury Veradda here and try to get word to her next of kin via messenger or take her body back to Parnast and let it be taken care of there. In either case you feel you should explore the Cache locations as she would have wanted.

The first cave is southwest of your current location. While not a direct route it wouldn’t be crazy for you to travel to Parnast first then south from there.

Thrune again addresses his new companions. "Friends, we should not allow such an esteemed person as Veradda Stoor to suffer the indignity of a crude burial. I suggest we go the Parnast, where she can be treated properly, then onto to the first cave. Perhaps we can find useful information in Parnast as well. Of course, we need to keep our destination a secret."

"Oh but I do. I'm looking for my father. He was a dragon, brass I think." Ruby pulls down her shirt sleeve, revealing an arm with brass scales littered amongst the skin. "Well pretty sure he's my dad, thats what mother says. I have so many questions I'd like to ask him." She speaks with enthusiasm.

Yeah, same here. I was assuming, since it's only on the larger posts, it was because you were taking them directly from the PDF, and pasting from PDFs often causes issues like that. It's just line breaks every 150 characters or so.

"A warrior should be buried where they fall, in my eyes." Nikos says, chipping in on the subject for a moment, then locating the path that would take them to the cave. "If you wish to fulfill her last rites at Parnast, I won't stop you, but I believe we'll be going on ahead to fulfill her wishes."

A few moments later and she chuckles at the halfling's story. Certainly an interesting one. "As noble a reason as that is, you shouldn't be so eager to rush in to the den of dragons without first knowing who they are. Few tolerate people."

DM Prompt - So just so you guys don't waste too much time I'll let you know that these Adventurer's League modules are alot more "on the nose" then the hardcover adventures. They are designed to railroad you for the most part through a particular adventure, generally in 4 hours. So I will do my best to "steer" you in the right direction and if you guys seem to be off the trail I will try to guide you back in the direction needed. So sometimes if it feels like I'm glossing over something you can either falt out ask me OOC or I will eventually give you a DM prompt to prevent extended periods of wasting time.

A couple hours pass and you are able to scout the area and feel confident you are alone. As a couple keep vigilant watch the others are able to bury Veradda and leave a marker so she can be located if a loved one wishes to pay her a final visit.

Once the ceremony is complete you begin heading in the direction of the first Cache.

After about a days travel you find yourselves at the foothills of the Graypeak mountains. The clues in Veradda's notes lead you directly to the cave opening. Outside the opening you see a variety of obvious tracks.

Nikos stops to examine the tracks, but only gets so far in doing so before she sees Rizak heading on in without a second thought. She catches up to him, drawing the large katana on her back and holding it in a readied stance as she enters the cave with him. "Indeed, goblins. Measly opponents, but not to be underestimated. At the very least, they can overwhelm you with numbers. At worst... They can be crafty."

She signals for Thrune and Ruby to take up position behind them, allowing Rizak and herself to act as a vanguard.

Scanning for threats, sword gripped and at the ready, he adds, "Yes, the Red Lady honours strategy and intelligent warfare above brutish bashing about. So I’m not sure your characterization of seeking out battles necessarily fits, however I take your meaning."

The half-elf allows a brief smile to play across his lips. "And truth be told, I do relish the opportunity, when it arises, to put the fear of the Red Knight into evil doers. Why should the good being of the realm hog all the fear for ourselves? Those who would spread hurt deserve a taste too, don’t you agree?"

Salute and oath over, he turns his full attention back to the task at hand. "Yes. More than just goblins. As I suspected..." He continues his visual sweep of the area as the group progresses deeper into the cave system.

You traverse the tunnel past the cave opening until it opens into a large cavern. The large cavern is empty of living creatures, although several lanterns around the room provide light. Rubble is piled up three feet high in several places throughout the cavern, and two tunnels lead out. The tunnel on the south wall is clear, but the tunnel to the east is chocked with debris. Dust still rides the zephyrs circulating through the cavern, leading you to believe the cave-in to the east was recent.

As you step further into the large dimly lit cavern, you are suddenly set upon by four goblins that jump out from behind several piles of stacked up rubble. They take you all by surprise, launching arrows at you and then ducking back down behind the rubble to hide again.

OOC:

For those that I haven't DM'd for before...the map link is not editable by you...when its your turn to move just provide me instruction (ex...3 east 2 south...etc)...I use the 5'-10'-5'-10' rule for moving diagonally...I will always roll initiative for everyone then you will move in groups as I instruct. When the group is up, anyone within that group can go first come first serve. If you have any questions just hit me up in a pm or the OOC thread.

Nikos, Rizak and Rivas are all struck by arrows (8,6 and 4 damage received respectively).

Group 1: Nikos and Ruby

Group 2: Goblins

Group 3: Rizak, Rivas, Thrune (+ Group 1)

Nikos and Ruby are up...you will need to make perception checks (w/disadvantage if you don't have darkvision) to spot the goblins from a distance...or you can try to run them down.

As Nikos squints into the darkness, she lets out a cry as an arrow punctures her shoulder with considerable force. Growling, she tears the intruder from her body, tossing it on the floor. She takes a moment, drawing in a sharp breath, then charges south, vaulting over the pile of rubble and coming crashing down on the nearest goblin.

Quick question before I take my action though: I realize I acted without knowing where G3 was just there, sorry. If Nikos moves next to them, would it be similarly assumed she discovers them? And would she be able to do so based on knowing they were there prior? Basically, can she reach G2, based on the assumption it's still there, and attack?

I stated that if you run the goblins down you can spot them...just that you needed a perception check to spot them from a distance due them hiding.

And I'm not sure what you are looking at for the hit die as I have Rivas listed with 12hp max.

Bloodied and cursing herself for it, Nikos supports herself on her blade, half her face covered in blood from a gash opened by the latest arrow. She is just about to blindly charge at the first target she sees when she feels a soothing warmth spread throughout her, beginning to repair the worst of her wounds. She is still battered, but turns to Thrune with a worn nod of appreciation.

With her head back in the fight, she raises her sword over her shoulder again and lunges towards the mound south of her, roaring as she drags her blade along the ground behind her, giving off a horrific screech of tortured metal. The moment her target comes into view, she heaves the weapon upwards in a single swing.

Rivas does have a d10 hitdie. He also has a +2 con modifier. That's why he has 12 max hp.

Rivas immediately fights the urge to charge into battle. The desire to repay these creatures almost entirely overwhelming his ability to think strategically. With a calming breath, he pulls the shafts from his body, lays his hand over the wound, and with a low muttering appeal to the Red Lady, watches the worse of them close before his eyes.

With a renewed sense of stability, his head snaps up, eyes levelled on his enemy, and marches directly toward the nearest with his massive greatsword swishing back and forth in anticipation of hewing the beast's head from its shoulders.

Short rest completed.

Searching the bodies of the goblins produces a total of 2 vials of alchemist’s fire

Checking out the eastern tunnel that had collapsed you discover that while the structural integrity of the tunnel was weak to begin with, it was sabotaged to act as a trap- one that the giant obviously triggered.

"Thank you but they're not for me," Thrune responds to Ruby. "I don't have a good throwing arm. Too many long days copying notes for herbal formulas. The high priest was a stickler for runic perfection."

Next, Thrune addresses the group. "Since the east passage is blocked, I suggest we move south and explore the rest of this cavern. The same marching order is fine with me. Ruby, would you mind carrying one of the lanterns from the wall?"

A scurrying sound and some high-pitched squeaking echo fromthe south tunnel. You look, expecting to see rats or someother vermin swarming toward you. Instead, you see an angry looking swarm of goblins. These goblins, however, are no larger than mice. Their tiny scimitars and shields seem almost comical at first, until you realize just how many of them there are. And then the lanterns all go out simultaneously, except for the one Rizak is holding.

With the path to the east impassable, the south passage is clear and you round the corner of the southern tunnel until you come to the next chamber. This cavern, like the last, is lit with lanterns throughout. To the north, at the far end of the corridor, you can see a small creature dressed in ratty furs, wielding a club. He stands in front of a stone chest that is even with his eyes. His back is to
you, and you catch the sound of angry rumbling coming from his direction, but it is too faint to hear clearly.

Then a yappy growl to your left alerts the creature, and it turns. It has the countenance of a terrible hill giant, but the
stature of a goblin. It shrieks in fury: ͞Slayermighty the Giant will tear you apart and feed you to Blooddrinker! He charges toward you.

The giant's body holds no clues but you do find a Potion of Healing.

Now that the threat of the giant has passed you notice a bear in the western corner that, now that you think about it, was snarling the entire time you were fighting the "giant" However the bear is only the size of a small house cat, so it was paid no mind. Now that its giant master is dead it seems to have begun to calm down. As you approach it however you seem to observe the curse wearing off, but instead of increasing in size, the small animal begins to convulse...

Thrune - you can make a history check only because you are proficient.

Further careful investigation causes you to come to the conclusion that the runes on the chest are part of a magical curse that causes the victims to shrink in size and stature.

The group heads back to Parnast to lick their wounds for a bit before heading out after the location of the second hoard.

As you ready yourselves to leave Ruby finds you to let you know that she will not be able to continue the journey with you. She had received notice from back home that an urgent matter calls for her attention. She wishes you luck and bids you fairwell.

OOC:

Somebox has decided to leave the game for the time being at the least...If you are still paying attention and wish to track it...Ruby receives 1 ACP and 1 TCP....technically everyone does but I am holding off on awarding until the end of the module.

The clues in Veradda Stoor's notes lead you to the a field of pure stone in the central park of the Greypeak range. There you are directed a pyramid of boulders the cache is said to be hidden within.

In the distance, at the base of two of the massive Greypeak Mountains in the central range, you see a large pyramid comprised totally of boulders. The structure is at least 60 feet high, and from this distance it looks as though there might be an opening at the top.
Between you and the base of the boulder pyramid is a solid stone field. The field is flat and smooth with a slight upward incline, but in places the stone is rent with deep gouges – so deep that it is impossible to tell how deep the gouges go. Even the widest gouge is less than 3 feet wide and easy to cross if care is used.

Agree with CaveJohnson.

Real life is the hidden enemy in all RPGs.

Thrune casts his remaining Cure Wounds on Rizak, then moves up one square (crossing the gorge reluctantly), up and to the right diagonally, then one square to the right so he ends up next to Bas.

Trying to distract the badger from Bas, Thrune readies his warhammer. "Chew on this, beast!"

Re: DDAL05-01.1 - Treasure of the Broken Hoard

The pyramid, upon closer inspection, is indeed comprised of gigantic boulders that must have rolled down the mountainside over the centuries. Whatever stacked them like this must have been very strong or used powerful magic. The boulders at the bottom appear to have been fused together in some way, while the ones further up are simply stacked carefully or held together with mortar. Many of the boulders are etched with runes.

As far as the recovering hit points in a short rest for an unconscious player - I rule that to do so another player would need to sacrifice their short rest in order to tend the wounds of the unconscious character in order for them to awaken and heal.

Sometime during the long rest, Thrune will take the least bloodied collar off of a badger, clean it as best he can, and put it in his backpack. Someone in town might know who owns these badgers, he thinks.

After the rest, Thrune starts with a prayer, "Thank you, Lady Sharindlar, for bestowing your healing mercy upon us."

He then turns to the group, "At the pyramid, I offer to cast a Guidance cantrip to increase anyone's skills in searching for secret openings, deciphering runes, or whatever else you think may help. Although I must do it one at a time."

As you struggle for handholds and footholds upon the strange pyramid, a deep rumbling voice right next to your ear says,

Hey, watch it there. That’s a little personal don't you think?

What looked like a crack in the rock widens into a great eye, staring at you beneath a furrowed stony brow. The shock of this sudden presence causes Rizak to almost lose his composure as he attempts to continue the climb up.

As you finish you sentence, two more sets of eyes open up in boulders on either side of the first one.

Hello, they both speak in unison.

The first one begins to respond to Thrune, I would love to help but unfortunately I can’t move because of my place here in the pyramid. You see my two siblings here and I have been a part of this structure for about a year now. Some humans, with the help of a dragon, built this pyramid and placed several wooden chests inside. We are very happy to have been selected to build such a great structure. Their parents and aunts and uncles spent decades as part of a wall down in Dragonspear Castle. (The things they have seen!)

Thrune - You recognize the beetles and recall a remedy. Using some herbs you are able to produce a salve and apply it on Prrrt who immediately feels relief. This puts the stone creatures in an excellent mood and they tell you the following information.

A giant climbed up here not too long ago. he shoutedSLEET GIANT KING and then bellowed in pain. Only silence followed.

With that they bid you good luck.

Re: DDAL05-01.1 - Treasure of the Broken Hoard

Since the party is not rushed for time in a big way, Thrune will cast Guidance on Rizak if he wants to continue climbing, then when he's done, on Nikos if she wants to continue climbing, then, when she's done, on himself to keep climbing. Thrune repeats the process on all three. He is definitely ascending to the top.

If someone is badly hurt while climbing, Thrune will stop to cast Cure Wounds so the party member can continue.

I hope that's not too confusing. I am trying to put in all the contingencies and make sure the characters survive the climb.

All 3 of you make it to the top of the pyramid with relative ease. The top of the pyramid is not capped; instead, four boulders frame a large opening between them. That opening, at the moment, is plugged with the body of a giant. Its thick hide and hairless body makes you think it is a stone giant, but it is difficult to tell: you can only see its enormous legs and backside. The rest is facing down into the top of the pyramid. Each of the four boulders at the top contains a series of runes. The runes glow with an obvious magical light.

As soon as Thrune finishes the phrase, the light emanating from the runes ceases to glow. You struggle for a few minutes but then manage to remove the giants body from within the opening of the pyramid.

While moving the giants body you find a pouch containing a scroll. The writing on the scroll seems indecipherable to you but you can tell it is of an arcane nature.

You peer into the now clear opening of the pyramid. At the bottom of the pyramid, 60 feet down, lies several open chests. A few broken, burned, and bloated kobold bodies lie amid the chests. After scanning the area for a minute, you notice a large hole in the ground at the corner of the pyramid. A few small digging implements, picks and shovels sized forkobolds, lie broken near the hole.

Rizak has no trouble climbing down into the pyramid. A thorough check of the area reveals the following.

All that is left of the treasure is a necklace made of human ears, a magnifying glass with the glass missing, and a deck of playing cards marked so inexpertly that anyone could tell. All are worthless except for the novelty.

Kobold tracks indicate that a large number of those creatures were here, and they tunneled into the pyramid through the floor.

Re: DDAL05-01.1 - Treasure of the Broken Hoard

Yawning, Karvir shuffles to the common toilet. His fine robe just barely covers the important parts. "Afternoon, Love" he says with a wink to the young serving girl, Mira, just outside his door.

"It's early morning yet, my Lord!" She appears to have been about to knock on his room door.

"Oh good, I was afraid I might have missed something. Adventure awaits us today!" With that, Karvir sits down on the toilet and gives the girl another wink before sliding the door shut.

Sitting alone now, Karvir pulls his purse from his robe pocket and quickly counts the contents. Disappointed, he hangs his head low between his legs.

Not even two nights worth. Trolls breath! We'd better find that treasure horde soon.

Having returned to his room and gotten dressed, Karvir calls out with a cheer "Mira!" The girl steps into the room less than a second later. "Hoot girl! You sure are good at that." Mira has been working for Karvir for the better part of two months now and she's learned a few tricks that keep the young noble more than pleased with her service. The lordling is unpredictable at best for when he will wake, but he is always needing something shortly after he does. Thankfully, Karvir will always relieve himself before calling. So Mira pays the inn's servant girls a copper each from her own pay that Karvir gives her (a full silver each day!) When they see the lordling wake they quickly fetch Mira so she can present herself as soon as called for.

"Well, please clean up this mess. And hurry, that housekeeping girl will be in shortly. I don't want her to think ill of me."

"Right away, my lord!" Mira says, snapping a sharp mock salute.

After a quick breakfast in the common room, Karvir heads outside to find Mira waiting with his backpack in hand and mule fully loaded and ready. It carries a chest atop its pack saddle, with a coil of rope on one side and, curiously, a horn on the other. Karvir's own pack appears well organized and tidy, with only a lantern handing from the outside.

"Adventure awaits, my Lord," she says, handing him his pack.

Karvir takes the pack, adjusts his fine clothes, checks on a pan flute held in a deep pocket, does a short hop while pulling the pack's straps forward and declares "Right! Let's join the others."

Thrune is clear-eyed and alert in the morning, despite imbibing more than his share of ale the night before.

OOC:

Gotta love that Dwarven constitution.

The group's meeting place is the corner table nearest the entrance to the inn. Thrune lays a scrawled piece of parchment on the table. "Karvir and Elaris, we are following the notes of the famed, but now deceased, treasure hunter named Veradda Stoor. We found two of the five treasure caches mentioned in her notes. Unfortunately, both treasures were stolen by others, possibly fire giants. May the gods grant us better luck with the next cache."

Thrune passes the note to his two new companions. It reads:
The Third Cache. The source I questioned about this cache said that it was carefully hidden behind a secret entrance in the wall of a green-sided mountain. There is only one according to my research. The source also said that the cultist who hid the treasure was an expert in magical curses.

"Rizak, any advice for our new friends?"

OOC:

FYI, all the treasure cache notes are on the first page of this thread.

With new allies in tow, you continue on to the location of the third treasure cache. Veradda Stoor's notes lead you to a narrow path halfway up a mountain in the northern Greypeaks. You stand on the path, looking down over a cliff to your right, the sheer wall fo the mountain to your left. Ther is no obvious opening in the wall.

On the way there, Thrune tells Karvir, "I am a priest of Sharindlar. Lady of Light and Mercy. We do not deal in curses so I don't know what foul magic they use. We have been blessed so far; the curses we encountered affected our opponents before we arrived."

When they reach their destination, Thrune says, "Let me check this wall before we proceed." He prays for guidance, then looks for a evidence of stonework in the mountain wall to the left.

He gives Mira a narrow-eyed look for a moment, as if it were her fault that he didn't pack the equipment. She does the packing, of course, but he buys the equipment to pack!

"It is supposed to be some secret door on the mountain here, right? Well, lets start poking around and see what we find!"

Karvir begins visually inspecting the cliffs, alternating between above and (as best as he can) below. He'll poke and prod anything that looks promising, but would be careful not to actually push anything more than a small amount as he is worried about traps.

If the process takes more than a minute, he'll take time to cast Unseen Servant as a ritual and instruct the thing to do the poking and prodding for him. If possible, and if other inspections don't pan out, Karvir would strap a rope around the thing and dangle it from the cliff so it can poke and prod the cliff below the walkway.

He eyes the mule with disdain as the fetches a coil of rope and places it over one shoulder. He then adjusts it and places it over the other. He considers for a moment and then places it on one shoulder, crossing over his chest. He smooths his finery and reaches out to take the lit lantern that Mira has prepared for him while he worked on his rope.

Rizak - You lead the group down the southern path, eventually coming to an intersection. Keeping a sharp eye out you notice that the flooring of the intersection just doesn't look right (red X on map). Upon closer investigation you discover it to be some kind of pit trap.

Two large humanoid figures, frost giants by their appearance, lie dead in the center of the room. Each clutches a bloody greataxe in its hands, and each seems to have died from slashing wounds created by large bladed weapons. On the far side of the room is a three-foot-tall pedestal, and atop the pedestal rests a giant diamond. The diamond gleams with an inner light that is definitely supernatural

Or something else equally big killed them, but we didn't see any of those giant traps that were set off." Karvir stands there, thinking for a moment.

"Look, whatever this is, I don't trust it. I especially don't trust walking around in that room until we know what is going on. I think we should send in my handy dandy unseen servant and poke and prod things for a few minutes to make sure nothing drops on us."

Thrune - Battleaxe's have a sharp edge on them and their "slashing" damage could certainly be categorized as bladed. Also the majority of the cavern appears to have been carved out ages ago but you do see signs of more recent (years not decades ago) work being performed.

"I have been holding on to Detect Magic spell for something just like this. I will need to move closer." Thrune moves parallel to the wall on his right.

OOC:

Thrune moves upper left diagonally 3 squares, then one to the right.

@Sclasclemski I think you moved Karvir instead of Thrune.

That said, I'm an idiot. Sorry. I meant to write Thrune moves three squares to his upper right, then one square to the right, which would put him one two squares to the right of Rizak.

Thrune moves closer to the diamond, specifically three squares upper right diagonally, then one square forward. From there, he casts Detect Magic and concentrates on what, if any, magic emanates from the diamond.

Out of nowhere, Thrune's thoughts turn to his education at the hermitage and the dwarven priestess who taught him the Detect Magic spell. "Focus is the key," she used to say. Thrune feels a sudden urge to make her proud and inwardly vows to give everything in the cave the attention it deserves.

Karvir is able to grant the inspiration to both Thrune and Rizak but before Thrune can cast the spell something begins to happen.

As you approach the bodies in front of the pedestal, the diamond rises from the pedestal under some magical compulsion. Beams of dazzling green light erupt from it, bathing everything in the chamber in a sickly green glow.

Appearing around the room are three masses of translucent green energy. These masses pulse in rhythm with the light of the diamond, as if they are all connected by energy.

OOC:

No word from Kharvir or Elaris so for now they will heed caution as well waiting on a response to Thrune’s attempt at communication. They both enter the area more and ready Cantrip a.

The response Thrune receives is not social but aggressive (#1 and #3 both attack Thrune. Both attempts miss (6vs AC18 and 10vs AC18).
This triggers Ryzak’s readied action and takes off towards the glow gem. The mote next to him takes the opportunity to make an attack...missing (12 vs AC16).

OOC:

Reminder...floor is icy and difficult terrain.

Kharvir and Elaris release their readied spells.

Elaris a firebolt at #2 (19 vs AC for 4 Force damage). The blast appearing to injure the creature.

Kharvir visciously mocks #3. (6 vs DC13 for 4 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack)

#2 chases Ryzak down and makes a sting attack. the sting finds an opening in Ryzak’s guard. (16vsAC16 - 5 piercing damage and Ryzak please make a DC11 ConSave to take 13or6 poison damage).

OOC:

Rizak - Going into Rage is your bonus action so you wont get the second attack but you do get the reactionary op attack.

Rizak feels poison attempting to infiltrate his bloodstream but in his rage he is able to resist the effects. He swings as the aggressive ball of energy pursues him, hitting it soundly. The energy seems to disperse for a moment before recollecting. Rizak swings again and misses.

Thrune makes contact but does not seem to hurt the mote very much.

Elaris moves further into the room, carefully, and tosses a firebolt at one of the motes ganging up on Thrune. Unfortunately the blast goes high, missing its target. (11 vs AC)

Kharvir attempts again to mock the creatures but it has no effect.

The motes continue to attack, as the diamond glows in unison to the attacks.

Thrune dodges #1 but moves right into the strike of #3 but is able to deftly avoid that attack as well.

#2 attempts and fails to sting Ryzak.

Thrune's radiant flame hits the diamond and its facade begins to crack.
