Group 2, Episode 2: Greenest in Flames

[Pulpatoon]

Kañ-Demir concedes: "Let us not waste much time in debate—indecision did not serve us well at the tunnel mouth. Let us go to the mill, and hope that we can eliminate the threat in time to learn what we might at the temple."

[dmw71]

Temple
The group spends a few minutes debating their next target -- the temple or the mill. While the temple seemed to be the early suggestion, support for intervening against those attacking the food supply eventually wins out.

"Let us go to the mill, and hope that we can eliminate the threat in time to learn what we might at the temple," Kañ-Demir concedes, still unable to shake his fear of exploding flour.

"Very well," the Governor says once the group informs him of their intention of defending the mill. "I will send whatever men I can spare to the temple, but please, if you're able, pay it a visit once your business at the mill has concluded."

"The mill is maybe 500 feet or so if you travel direct. Probably twice that distance if you take the tunnel to the stream and follow it... which seems to be the preference of your catlike friend here," he says, indicating Catarina, whose tail flips slowly back and forth indicating a hint of tiredness.

"Please, make haste... but be safe!" he says before turns and begins immediately issuing directives to his other topside guards.

    Features:
    • Feline Agility: 1
      • When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn.
      • Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
    • Cat’s Claws:
      • Because of your claws, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet.
      • In addition, your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes.
        • If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
    • 1st: Expertise (Perception, Stealth)
      • Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
    • 1st: Sneak Attack (1d6)
      • Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.

    • 1st: Thieves’ Cant
      • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
      • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
      • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
      • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
    • 2nd: Cunning Action
      • You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

        • Note: This has been modified to limit this study and familiarity to just metallic dragons, not those of the chromatic variety.

    Background: Clan Crafter (Dwarf)
    • Feature: Respect of the Stout Folk
      • As well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

        • When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.
          • For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.

    • 3rd: --
    Background: Far Traveler (Dwarf)
    • Feature: All Eyes on You
      • Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
        
        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.

    • 1st: Eyes of the Grave: 3
      • As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn’t behind total cover and that isn’t protected from divination magic.
      • This sense doesn’t tell you anything about a creature’s capabilities or identity.
        • Recovery: Long
    • 2nd: Channel Divinity: Turn Undead: 1
      • As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
        
        A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
        • Recovery: Short
    • 2nd: Channel Divinity: Path to the Grave
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.
        
        As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack’s damage, and then the curse ends.
    • 5th: --
    Background: Acolyte

      • Those who share your religion will support you (but only you) at a modest lifestyle.

[Pulpatoon]

Kañ-Demir suggests the direct route.

[BearSiren817]

Catarina is okay with that, “As long as we try to be quiet about it.”

[GreyWolfVT]

Drezden agrees straight route and as quiet as possible.

[Scott308]

Dureau Sathaos

Maybe we should follow the river once we cross it. That is a shorter route than following the road and will hopefully allow us to avoid contact with the invaders as long as possible.

[dmw71]

To the Mill
Electing to take the direct route and cut across town, the group waits for the dwindling batch of enemy forces gathered at the front entrance to become distracted, then dart! Taking advantage of a diversion -- cries of a young child -- from somewhere nearby, to the north of the keep, the group slips out through the front gate and follows the worn dirt trail southwest.

When the trail bends back northwest, the group continues southwest and heads for the stream. Navigating between the thick brush and the shore, the group follows the stream southwest for several hundred feet until it starts to turn due west, where they take pause in an advantageous position to overlook the mill from a distance:

A small force -- you spy three robed humans -- appear to be brandishing torches. Two small fires, on either side of the eastern side of the mill, burn gently, but the structure itself appears to be free from fire damage.

[Faanku]

Bowing in response to the dwarf's greeting, Zintra speaks happily in contrast to the ominous situation."I confess no small amount of excitement to see why Fate has brought us together, Kañ-Demir! I have pondered the scope of Her desires often on my journey here, only to be greeted by a situation most dire; never in my life have I witnessed a dragon of such size!" She bows in turn to each of the others. "Our Smiling Lady has marked us, friends. Our destiny awaits!"

===

Sometime later, upon spying the three people setting the fires, the diminutive occultist frowns with concern as she looks up to her comrades, though her tone and demeanour remain cryptically positive. "There may be innocents constrained within, concerns for the food aside. We have no time to delay!"

Zintra shall prepare for combat, though will wait for her comrades to better position themselves before taking any action.
Initiative [1d20+3] = 18+3 = 21
Palaeo Init. [1d20+1] = 4+1 = 5
Extra D20 [1d20] = 5

[GreyWolfVT]

Grimbul seeing the cloaked humans understands fully the concern of innocents and takes up his bow if in range and fires at one of the humans holding the torch.

Initiative [1d20+1] = 12+1 = 13
Longbow [1d20+3] = 1+3 = 4 to hit. [1d8+1] = 7+1 = 8 damage
Ability/Skill/Stat Check/"If Needed" Rolls [1d20] = 1

[Pulpatoon]

As they walk along the river bank, before they come into view of the mill, Kañ-Demir tests the depth and speed of the river. Unless is it slow and shallow, he will advise the party to cross the river back at the road and walk along the opposite bank. "We won't have cover at our back, but we also won't have to make ourselves vulnerable by crossing the river just as we close in.

Seeing his fellow party members readying for combat as they near the bend, he suggests that stealth is still called for, over a charge, as they are still a considerable distance from the mill. "Unless you want to try bowshot from this distance. Which, actually, might be very wise."

If stealth: Stealth: [1d20+2] = 1+2 = 3
Oof. Kañ-Demir immediately knocks of a tin-merchants cart.

If combat: Kañ-Demir holds any actions to allow for long-range volleys, and readies himself to engage when the two sides are closer.

Multipurpose Omniroll: [1d20] = 4
Yowza. Kañ-Demir did not do his stretches this morning, and now everything is off.

[Scott308]

Dureau Sathaos

I may be too far for any spells I can still cast, but I can shoot my crossbow. We may be able to get closer if we stay on this side of the river. That would, however, require everyone to be able to attack across the river.

Initiative: [1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12
Stealth: [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20; Disadvantage: [1d20+2] = 15+2 = 17
Toll the Dead (WIS 13): [1d8] = 8; if injured: [1d12] = 9
Crossbow: [1d20+4] = 19+4 = 23; Damage: [1d8+2] = 4+2 = 6

Approaching the Mill
Having spotted the small force actively forcing the attack on the mill, the group contemplates their plan of approach. The mill itself is on the opposite end of the stream, which Kañ-Demir tests with a long stick and determines the cool water rolling lazily over the gravel bottom is roughly 3-feet deep -- insignificant to a human, but probably up to the upper chest or higher on a dwarf or gnome, which make up half the party.

Dureau points out that the group will almost certainly be able to get closer to the mill if they remain on the side of the stream they're currently on, but that course would force a dangerous crossing later. "We won't have cover at our back, but we also won't have to make ourselves vulnerable by crossing the river just as we close in," Kañ-Demir adds, proposing the group cross now, in the relative safety, and use stealth once on the opposite side to get as close as they can. "Unless you want to try bowshot from this distance. Which, actually, might be very wise."

His longbow at the ready, Grimbul shrugs noncommittally.

"There may be innocents constrained within," Zintra, the newcomer, adds. "Concerns for the food aside, we shouldn't delay"

Approach.jpg (354.32 KiB) Viewed 1416 times

With compelling arguments for both sides (pun intended) of the approach, the group is still forced with deciding which route they intend to take:

• Cross here, and stealthily approach from the side of the mill; or
• Use the brush on the current side of the stream to aid their approach, then be forced to approach the mill in closer vicinity.

---


Unfortunately, I'm still not entirely sure which route you want to take: Cross the stream now, or later? Plus, I still need a response (maybe a tie-breaking one) from Catarina?

Don't worry about supplying attack rolls at this point (but feel free to discuss/coordinate your eventual plans); I just really need to know which route to take you on. Since I'm assuming you'll attempt to utilize stealth on either path, please do include a Dexterity (Stealth) check with your next update.

Also, the initiative order (except for Catarina) has been established. If Zintra (or even Grimbul) at the top of the order wanted to force a particular decision, they could potentially do so and force a Leroy Jenkins moment.

    • Feline Agility: 1
      • When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn.
      • Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
    • Cat’s Claws:
      • Because of your claws, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet.
      • In addition, your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes.

    • 1st: Thieves’ Cant
      • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
      • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
      • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
      • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
    • 2nd: Cunning Action
      • You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
        
        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.

Stealth [1d20+3] = 9+3 = 12
Unused Roll [1d20] = 4

Dureau Sathaos

Removing the rope from his pack, he ties one end around his waist before handing the other end to Grimbul. I'll cross first and the rest of you can use the rope to help yourselves across.

Stealth: [1d20+2] = 9+2 = 11; Disadvantage: [1d20+2] = 6+2 = 8
Random d20: [1d20] = 17

Since I'm assuming you'll attempt to utilize stealth on either path, please do include a Dexterity (Stealth) check with your next update.

A few updates have been posted without this.

Or the extra "if needed" roll. I probably won't update again until tomorrow, so you'll have until then to supply them. If not, I will roll for you.

Also, Faanku, can you explain what you mean with this:

""You have my owl, Grimbul!""

What, mechanically, is Palaeo going to do?

Kañ-Demir gets ready to cross the water with the aid of Dureau's rope.

Stealth: [1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12
Multipurpose Omniroll: [1d20] = 3

Apologies, I included the rolls in my previous post.

It was a failed LOTR reference; I just meant that I would follow Grimbul's decision to cross the stream, Palaeo will be generally sat on my shoulder or loitering very close to me unless I send him somewhere specifically.

Ah, no worries. It just went over my head.



It's clear the group will be crossing the stream here, then stealthing in from the same side as the mill.
I will try to work on the next update for this one today. Hopefully.

Got the map for the new scene built in Roll20 (which, yes, I'm still using for the time being). That will definitely help getting you guys moving again.

Tonight, I hope.
