let's start Session 1 of uh...
what are we calling this?
this game or this session?
i mean it's still just listed as MCA Game on roll20
i forgot about the whole campaign name thing
that wont sell on a shirt, drufle
youre the gm, you get to decide!
we dont know enough about the Plot to determine good names
i decide....to decide later
how's that
A bunch of doofuses play wieird hybrid classes and stuff happens, I guess
the game
Anyway! Welcome to Gelonde!
A small village that borders a large pond.
It's rather peaceful.
There's also a forest nearby.
Just all sorts of nature.
i'm well aware, i'm most likely from said forest
thisan inn
Takaanu looks at the door
It is a small stop on the road to bigger and better places.
Lux whistles a tune from his homeland.
don't ask why i'm inside with multiple animals
is there seriously no Tengu allowed in here or??
You're all drawn here, to the Green Candle Inn, because of a job offer.
Except not really, because I too, am bird.
Bird Racism is very common
Oh right, that job offer.
At least, that's why I think you're here, right?
Or is there another reason?
Manu always checks out weird random natural events.
They say the breakfast here is to die for.
Takaanu saw the post and gave it a look
following the wind is going to be a bit of a theme for him
This inn is fairly popular, actually, the bar (on the right, there) is fairly populated.
So fairly.
one bird man and two animals of unusual size
The bar that is currently inhabited entirely by me.
Which is odd, because Manu doesn't drink.
Kahena totally does though.
Where's the bar in this bar
Do any of you arrive together? Or do none of you know each other?
I think me an Lux met in prison once
We all semi-know each other.
It's just an empty room full of birds
thats not canon anymore, sadly
(to hora)
To be fair, this village does tend to draw people back to it, if only for the adventurer jobs on offer.
wait really?
the heck is our connection then?
I met Takaanu at a harbor a few times.
Harbors are highly rated for their Takaanu sightings
And I think Lux and I are hunting buddies?
Or Harika and I.
One of those combinations is correct.
Great hunting area too, what with the forest nearby.
i just got here so no connections
i'll try being the newbie
well...okay then????????
I mean you could have met Harika
MAYBE i've seen harika before
yeah
Takaanu knocks on the door
A blue-haired lady is tending bar, and some of you may know her as Nera. She's the one that posted the job offer.
Manu Palila is trying to make sure Kahena doesn't get too drunk.
"The door's open!"
Takaanu pokes his big beak and head around the door
"Hello? Is this the place of the job offer?"
"Hello!"
Takaanu walks on in
"Sure is. Name's Nera."
"I was just talking to this gentleman here about it."
Takaanu is holding a copy of the offer in his talons
"Oh you were talking to... her. Okay."
"Now, this job may involve danger. Are you okay with that?"
"Or are you the type that enjoys that rush?"
"Whoa that owl is pretty big."
Akamai flaps over to Takaanu and stares at him.
Takaanu sees the big Owl next to him
"Oh I love that owl."
Akamai nods.
"Why is the owl so big???"
"Not right. Not right"
Nera remembers Akamai and it's owner.
"They say there's a dragon involved."
It's hard to forget an owl that size.
Manu Palila is having the worst time keeping his animals in line.
"Just kidding! I don't know shit."
"Manu! Your friends are loose!"
"I know, I'm working on it!"
"What...What is the reptile?"
"It's hard when they're both multiple times stronger than you are!"
"Hey, looks like these adventurers want to join you on the mission."
"Introduce yourselves!"
"Oh! Mission allies"
Takaanu bows low
i am also here
im sorry mopp i dont know your characters personality
Lux leans in close at each adventurer, taking in a big whiff.
"I am Takaanu of Jumori"
Manu Palila unsuccessfully tries to dig his feet in the plush carpet and drag the animals away.
"Hmhmmm... I'm Lux. Pleased to meet you."
"I do not require smelling, thank you"
"Harika can join you as well, she's an accomplished cleric, of sorts."
"But pleased to meet you"
"And finally. Hello. Lux."
"Right, good, I'm Manu, keeper of the forests, acquaintances are nice and all."
Manu Palila is still gripping Kahena's collar and trying to move him.
"Righto, now that that's done..."
Manu Palila has a Strength of 7, this does not go well.
"Very big, maybe second biggest reptile ever seen"
"By me"
"You all know the details? We've been having earthquakes recently, which is odd, because that has literally never happened before."
"Where's the complementary breakfast, milady?"
By the way, we're still totally missing Mopp's elephant.
oh no the elephant
too many pogs
"Oh yes right, there's a thing we have to do."
There is canonically an elephant somewhere around here.
we are definitely going to have to do a lot to keep combat moving
"While one would chalk this up to nature, we have reason to believe it's not natural."
Don't worry, I got this down.
"Are there any fault lines nearby, miss?"
"Volcanic activity?"
"Plus, the quakes are getting worse..."
"Of course it's not natural, I probably would've fixed it already if it was normal."
"I'm no geologist, but I don't think so."
"Big monster perhaps? Or evil cult?"
"I punch many of those"
Manu Palila flexes his noodle arms.
"We might have to evacuate the town if there's an impending eruption."
"Well only one cult, but still count"
"Aside from structural damages, the quakes are spooking the wildlife."
"Which is bad for hunting."
"Also, some of them are running right into the village."
"And that doesn't end well."
"There's been no causalities yet, but it's a matter of time..."
Takaanu clicks his beak
"Well, I assume you have leads for us?"
"Then at once we must go!"
"Anyway, a friend of mine has a lead on what's happening, I'd like you to go talk to him and follow that lead."
"Good, leads, I like those."
Nera treats you all to some free drinks, while she waits for her friend to arrive.
whatever you want
there's milk
Manu Palila sits at a table with his hands on his animals.
Lux has some milk shots.
Takaanu is pouring the drink down his beak, carefully
"So, uh, Lux, where are you from? Don't see a lot of half-orcs 'round these parts."
"From the grand nation of Kemet, sir!"
"Um. I'm here."
"Are these the ones?"
Takaanu peaks around the corner
"Wow, what a colorful boy."
"Yep. There's a ton of them, too."
"Half of them are animals?"
"Hey, technically only 3/7 of us are animals, and 2/7 are mostly animals.
"Well, you do all look rather strong..."
"ahem I am not an animal"
"Oh of course not."
"You are...a tengu?"
"Yes yes! Heard of us, have you?"
(To Taka) Probably not as far as where you're from, sir!
"Yes, I've met one before, actually. We get a lot of adventurers in this village."
"Ah...it's rather loud in here, shall we talk outside?"
"I'll see you later, Nera."
Lux smells this guy too.
"O-oh."
Takaanu tilts his head to the side
"You do this a lot?"
Manu Palila shoves his animals out the door.
He leads you all to the fountain outside.
"Ah, this is much nicer."
"So, Nera gave you the details, right?"
"Well, during one of the last quakes, I noticed something."
"I am a Wizard, you see, so I can detect magical auras."
Lux takes out his journal.
"When the quake was happening, I saw such an aura, underground."
"Ah, a fellow magic user!"
"It must have been a strong one too, to have been noticable from this far."
Lux writes aura in ALL CAPS and circles it.
"I am convinced that it's related!"
"Auras aren't to be taken lightly, probably."
"What school of magic do you specialize in, sir?"
"Oh, transmuation, mostly. I enjoy working with plants."
"And what school did the quake's aura emanate?"
"They're excellent receptors for magic!"
"Do not yell so suddenly!"
"But plants! Plants are so very good."
"Ah, well, that's the strange part...I couldn't tell."
"It was very warped, and strange."
Lux scrawls more notes.
"It could have been the distance, though."
"I do not think we can dig"
"Caves, or perhaps graveyards?"
But just then!!
A quake!!
Lux writes "Two men who like plants a lot" and encircles "a lot".
Manu Palila definitely falls on his back.
Takaanu just sort of stands there with a wide stance
It's not very strong, but it is pretty strange to experience.
"The earth! She refuses me so!"

now your macros are colored??
It's safe to say that you all stay on your feet.
Oh good, music changes.
That historically- oh, wolves.
Some wolves bolt from the nearby woods!
Manu Palila looks at Takaanu.
"You never seen a dire wolf before, bud?"
"Dire Wolf???"
"No, never"
How do I intiative queue....
"Giant dogs?"
"At least they're not gnolls."
"We get wolves often around here, but they never come so close...
Man, look at me and Taka in the Super Fast Club.
taka beats you bu 0.01 lmao
*by
rolling 1d20 = 7 = 7
Okay!
Can you all actually see the order?
So this is the true power of gunpla...
Nice.
So Manu is up first.
Dogs!
And one of them is HUGE.
They are very much running towards you all.
To nerd "Get behind me, sir!"
Actually, first.
Let's try this.
Cool, ok.
Both of the normal wolves make will saves.
I'm gonna cast Calm Animals on them.
rolling 1d20+1 = 16+1 = 17
rolling 1d20+1 = 13+1 = 14
Alright, that second guy fails.
Okay
What's that do, exactly?
I assume he has less than 7 HD?
Then for the next 5 minutes, as long as nobody attacks him, he does nothing.
He does not flee, he does not attack.
He lays down and starts licking his paw.
Aww.
So I'm gonna have my animal boys charge in.
Not literally a charge, for Akamai.
He has a 60 foot speed, it's not really necessary.
"Look at them go. It's like a very not-safe-for-children petting zoo."
First, a charging bite on the left wolf.
rolling d20+11 = 19+11 = 30
"That is a bad petting zoo"
rolling d8+7 = 7+7 = 14
Then a normal talon on the dire wolf.
"He's not gonna kill those animals, is he."
The wolf snarls in pain at the claw attack.
Right, that's all for me then.
"Hey sir, are you technically... hunting these?"
"Well, it's not within legal borders, and it's not even wolf season, so..."
"We'll rule this one a 'self-defense'."
"IT IS FINE TO HUNT THEM."
"PLEASE HUNT THEM UP."
Big Wolf makes a perception check
Don't steal the wolf's fur! He needs that!
He has stolen its youth, adding it to his own
Streak?
Whenever you're ready
O

Deceptive Shuriken
Yeah, he can get sneak attack by using SoH.
it only works once per enemy though
Wait so who'd you attack sorry
How many ki points do you have, anyway?
Takaanu rushes up and suddenly hurls three shuriken at the big wolf
I imagine it's a decent pool.
is his flat footed AC really over 10?
Natural armor, I presume.
Hello little children, it
is murder time
"Is it really okay? I guess it's okay."
"I can't reach them though."
might as well start getting over here
"Do you have a bow, or anything?"
"Oh Bye Then."
i have a crossbow
oh i can double move
"Heya, bird. Need some help?"
"Which one?"
Akamai shrugs.
"(D-does he know owl..?!)"
"Hello, sir, who is another bird."
"(Did that owl just shrug..?!)"
Oh as a reminder, both Kahena and Akamai understand common.
Although they cannot speak it.
ah good
Ewin is super confused
They're both just barely intelligent.
Dire wolf is up!
He's gonna target the owl with a bite.
rolling 1d20+7 = 11+7 = 18
"We just winging it now?"
Both my animal pals have AC 22.
Although they do have much lower touch/FF ACs.
Okay, this wolf is gonna 5 ft...
And bite!
No, flanking! My worst enemy!
Oh right, +1.
But it doesn't help, huh.
"O-okay, I should...help."
Kahena kinda gets annoyed by the wolf teeth in his clothing.
Ewin peers over the fountain and shoots Magic Missile.
rolling 2d4+2 = 4+1+2 = 7
"Good shot small wizard!"
"Hmmm..."
Manu Palila walks up and pokes Kahena, whose jaws become covered with thistles and spined vines.
[1d20+11] = 11+11 = 22[1d20+3] = 2+3 = 5[1d20+3] = 20+3 = 23
Full attack on the dire wolf.
[1d20+3] = 3+3 = 6
rolling d8+d6+12 = 6+1+12 = 19
And the dire wolf makes a reflex save.
Akamai 5-foots and full attacks the other wolf, then.
[1d20+7] = 3+7 = 10[1d20+7] = 10+7 = 17
I'm going to hop over these guys to get to the other side of that wolf
| Acrobatics |

Sick flip, dude.
Takaanu does a backflip over the dino and wolf
was that my move or my standard?
because I'd like to punch
I am unsure, you moved before it right?
Acrobatics checks are usually made alongside a move action.
So he should have a single standard.
"Excellent. You people are great at this."
two weapon fighting, can I use that without a full attack action?
okay thank you
that's what I needed to know
TWF gives you additional attacks to full attacks.
I can tell you now that it will be enough.

Still, cool jump.
Takaanu brings his talons around, just missing the wolf
"..."
the funny thing about Lethal Strike is that my unarmed strikes can be blunt or slashing
and feet!
my feet have talons too
I'll probably fighting with my feet more than my hands
The one on the right has calmed down right.
"Hey there, little guy. It's okay. Even if your alpha is kinda. You know. slumped over."
I pet the wolf.
Out of curiosity, can I know the cha mods of the dogs?
Lux you fool
you are not good with animals
The CHA is 6...
He's not terribly scary.
It's DC 18 to calm them, then.
But then, I'm just a wolf. What do I know...
I thought it was a Will save?
Just let the druid take care of things once the battle is over.
The spell is a will save, yes.
I guess that ate up my actions?
Does it bite me
Wolves turn, unless Lux wants to do something
Using Handle animals or Wild empathy to improve their mood is a skill check.
DC 20+cha.
It backs away from you a bit, feeling cautious.
Good to know, bark.
"Ah! It doesn't like me? Please come back!"
"Stop playing with wild animals!"
This other wolf is not feeling great.
It's going to try to flee.
I suppose that's an AoO for you all.
I have no reason to kill the wolf
Yeah, I'm not taking any attacks.
I angrily glare at Kahena to do the same.
Now let's capture this other wolf and interrogate it.
Lemme try and wild empathy the wolf.
yeaaaaaaah that victory theme!
"Hey buddy, come here..."
Takaanu clicks his beak
rolling d20+9 = 17+9 = 26
So you have one dead Dire Wolf, and another wolf.
Lux takes out his journal again.
Manu Palila pets the still-magically-calmed wolf.
Man, if only I had prepared speak with animals...
"Oh wow, you calmed it down?"
Takaanu prods the dead dire wolf with his foot
"Ah, so that's how to do it. I understand now."
Lux doesn't understand a thing.
"Animals are my thing, you know. Plants too."
"They must have been spooked by the quake."
"I kinda have the whole nature deal under wraps."
"So, do I heal the dire wolf..."
"It's a shame we had to kill one, but these things happen I suppose."
I thought we just knocked it out.
Hmm, well...
I guess it's not, it's negative.
what's its HP at right now?
Usually we just assume its dead.
If you actually want to heal it, go ahead.
Better make sure you calm it htough.
"Hey sirs, and ma'am, did you know that alpha theory has been debunked? Wolves just kinda live in large family units, with no clear leader. Furthermo-"
aren't your spell slots limited?
If not, Kahena is still all vined up, so I can constrict it.
Lux rambles for a bit.
Harika probably has some cure spells prepared.
I think she lost spontaneous casting, but she can still cast them normally.
And you'll all be allowed to rest after this, if you want.
Okay, she's healing the wolf, then. You should start to calm it now.
Oh dear, uh, calm away!
rolling d20+9 = 8+9 = 17
Whoops.
how many calms do you have?
Well, not the actual spell.
I'm just using wild empathy.
The wolf wakes, in pain. It snarls as it starts to get up.
He's learned from the best.
You have one more shot.
You need a 20+
Takaanu glares down...or rather up at the wolf
| Wand of cure light wounds |
| Item is not Carried |
| 2 |
Actually, never mind.
I'll give you advantage, since you're healing it.
It starts to understand what's happening.
And backs away from you all.
Barking at it's companion, it runs back into the woods, in the direction that the other fled in.
The other wolf turns...
Takaanu clicks his beak again
"Wait I haven't asked it its wolf name..."
"My, that was impressive!"
"Dogs are not hard to fight"
"Not great at martial combat"
"Many adventurers would have just killed them all..."
"So...thanks, for that."
"Anyway..."
"Yeah, adventurers kinda suck."
Ewin mumbles to himself for a bit, recounting what he told you.
Takaanu sort of glances over at the comment of adventures sucking
"Oh, yes!"
"So it's coming from underground."
"Where was the aura strongest, do you think?"
"Now, digging would take a while, but there's a bit of history to this village."
"Any crags, caves, or caverns?"
"And more importantly, a burial tomb!"
"Ooh, Ohh! Min- oh"
"I was wrong"
Manu Palila throws back his head and groans.
"It used to belong to a wealthy family that owned a lot of land around here."
"That was...like 200 years ago, now."
"Man, not that place, it gives me the heebie jeebies..."
"The last of that family is gone, so the tomb's not been maintained in a while."
"I have specifically not been there."
"I went to investigate, yes."
"Braver man than I, then."
"However, it seems some Gnolls have taken up residence."
"Gnolls???"
"What are Gnolls?"
"I should have learned Gnoll."
"They seemed pretty tough, so I got out of there pretty quick."
"That's when we put the job offer up."
"So, yeah, you'll have to get in there and look around."
"It goes pretty deep, so hopefully you can get close enough to the aura."
"Ah, so there's gnolls around these parts too, huh."
"It's...empty, and defensible, I guess."
"And I guess it's also full of old riches."
"The reach of Lamashtu is ever widening."
Lux knows a lot about Gnolls!
Takaanu perks his crest up at the mention of treasure
He also knows they keep Hyenas as attack animals.
They're basically hyena people themselves too.
"It's pretty messed up when you think about it. Keeping animals with the same heads as you."
"Oh, I have a gift for you."
"Here you go...uh..." He gives them to Lux.
He hands you some flowers, and an apple.
"Ah! Not quite."
"These are magical plants, I made them myself."
"Oh, thank you for your kindness, sir, but I'm full."
| Knowledge (Nature) |
| Check |
| 26 |
"Those look somewhat familiar."
Manu, you identify the flowers as Breezeblown Dandelions.
You're encumbered.
Probably.
"Fascinating! A wind-infused species of Taraxacum..."
"Oh yes, you're right. These flowers, when you blow the seeds off, will slow your descent."
"Handy in a punch."
"Pinch..."
"Excellent work, my boy."
He's given you two of those.
"The apple, when eaten, will give you a boost of knowledge!"
It gives you +5 to your next knowledge check.
"Like the forbidden fruit spoken of in legend."
"That seems thematically disturbing, but useful."
"This one isn't so forbidden, don't worry."
Takaanu is confused by all the forbidden talk
He also gives everyone a Cure Moderate Wounds potion each.
oh thank goodness
Lux gives a dandelion each to Taka and Manu.
Ewin then describes the directions to the Tomb of Iddmor, about 10 minutes from here.
"For being so proactive!"
"You don't have to leave right now, feel free to rest, I'm sure Nera will let you stay free."
"Are there any other questions?"
"Yes, you didn't get far into the tomb, right?"
"I didn't even make it inside."
"Right, nevermind, then."
"They had guards stationed at the entrance."
"In the head, the chest, the gonads, usual stuff."
"I'm not really sure, I'm afraid."
"Will strike in the usual places, then"
"I saw some wielding shortbows, the other's had spears."
"Live is a good spot to punch"
"Oh good, archers. My favorite."
*liver
Manu Palila wishes he could prepare protection from arrows.
So, you guys can rest if you like, or just go now.
I'm down 1 ki, but that's it
Well, literally none of us took any damage, and I only used up two spell slots.
It's midday right now, the day hasn't advanced much.
"I am good now"
"I can take down guards"
I have some tricks up my sleeve, if need be.
"I sneak behind them"
"Do not blow my cover, please"
You all make your way to the Tomb...
Let me just...
"Are you coming along, sir?"
To Big Nerd
"I'm sorry, I can't. I'm not really much for combat."
Look at that scruffy boy and tell me it isn't Angus Macdonald.
"I'd just hold you back."
"Fine by me, I think we'll be fine on our own."
Honestly I expected Harry Potter jokes but I'm proud of you all for not going there.
"That's alright, you've aided us so much already."
Lux pats his back.
I've got bigger worms to catch, Streak
"Physical might isn't everything, friend!"
I'd like you all to roll perception.
I can roll for my animals, if you like.
Some information is revealed to you!
There's another Gnoll there, and a hole in the right wall.
The gnolls have not seen you yet, so you can proceed how you like.
no do not do that right now
whispering "I will sneak around right"
I'll send Kahena with you.
"Wanna get into position? I'll try sniping one of them."
He has a swim speed and a decent stealth mod.
rolling 1d20+2 = 16+2 = 18
Mmm, not quite that good.
He'll actually hang back.
Takaanu peaks around the corner, quietly
This rock is climbable, so you can pass through.
Roll perception again for me.
fuck you too, dice
they hate me now
hmm
I see
I can send a helpful pal, if you like.
He's much better at hiding, probably.
"Did he tell us the signal?"
"I imagine it would be some kind of caw, so no."
"I'm getting bored, let me send someone after him."
I'm gonna kneel down and grab some mud from the bank.
Takaanu flings a shuriken up into the air
"Well rats, I suppose that's the signal."
"So much for my objectively adorable plan."

Takaanu cleaves through the gnoll with his foot talons
Hey, out of curiosity, is it cloudy at all?
he didn't have time to scream
I was hoping for some inclement weather.
Sure. Okay.
What?
Manu Palila points at the gnoll in front of the door.
"Be gone, weird dog man!"
A lightning bolt fires out of the sky at him.
He gets a reflex save.
rolling 3d6 = 5+4+2 = 11
11 damage it is.
Owch.
He hated that.
Manu Palila shakes his hand a bit.
Kahena just double moves up.
I'm done.
I move!
And cast a spell.

I cast it on the door gnoll.
I mean, I don't think that would do anything anyway?
It's still too pissed at Lightning boy
Since it says he has to avoid AoO's, and he can't do that.
This is the session of Ah! So Close! isn't it
don't burn all your spells on them
I guess he could withdraw action.
I believe you can't do that.
I did not read the fine print. Oh well.
I'll have to check to make sure, but continue.
Something darts from the nearby underbrush.
A hyena!
rolling 1d20+3 = 20+3 = 23
rolling 1d20+3 = 1+3 = 4
"The dogs aren't too far away from their masters, huh."
rolling 1d6+3 = 6+3 = 9
Geez.
It also gets a trip attempt.
you have to confirm the crit, buddy
What is up with the dice today.
rolling 1d20+3 = 2+3 = 5
Nope.
Door gnoll also attacks.
rolling 1d20+3 = 19+3 = 22
Yeesh.
Do you not want to make the trip attempt?
That 22 hits, by the way.
Oh, that was the 5.
I thought you were trying to confirm the crit.
No I did that prior
Also failed.
I thought he was double-attacking.
Continue!
That 22 hit, roll damage.
1 damage it is.
I really gotta step it up huh.
Well, he has DR 5/adamantine.
Is gonna shoot an arrow at Taka.
rolling 1d20+1 = 10+1 = 11
Woosh.
Takaanu disagrees
Takaanu flicks the arrow out of the air
It moves behind the pillar.
"Where'd that come from?"
"A ranged attacker, eh? Fun times!"
also you literally have to crit to hit Takaanu
if you have nothing for her to do just skip her
Harika does her healing dance, a slow melody that brings peace to your mind.
rolling 1d6 = 5 = 5
You're all healed, except Taka.
But you kknow.

There are some things I've done so consistently that I forget they're not official.
Okay, you're good.
You trip over the brush a little, but regain your footing.
Manu's up.
Kahena full attacks the hyena!
[1d20+9] = 8+9 = 17[1d20+3] = 11+3 = 14[1d20+3] = 4+3 = 7
rolling d8+d4+12 = 6+2+12 = 20
Question for the GM: do I have line of sight to the archer?
Also: Do I need LoS if the attack comes from above?
You can partially see it, so you can target it.
(Streak you deaded the wrong thing)
Yeah, he attacked the hyena.
From above, you're good.
Oh.
hmmmm
Manu Palila snaps his fingers and another lightning bolt rains from the sky.
rolling 3d6 = 3+5+3 = 11
KERZAP
you got enough of those to last?
I get to do that every round for 5 rounds.
I'm betting they don't work indoors?
well okay then
keep on doing it then
It actually does function indoors!
I'm done.
Akamai hoots happily.
That's full-round, right.
do you have a reach weapon?
why did manu block my way orz
You can charge the hyena anyway.
Also, keep in mind, that's tricky terrain over there.
This place is a mess of nature.
I'll make that clearer sorry.
there is a status symbol for that
That's quite a reach.
Are you gonna move or.

Ruins the thread count.
Ranged Gnoll fires another arrow, at Lux.
rolling 1d20+1 = 16+1 = 17
The arrow bounces off your armor.
I...don't think that Gnoll can actually hit anything with a +1
"OH SHELYN HE'S GOT A BOW"
The gnoll looks defeated...
I wish I could use wild empathy on animal-based humanoids.
Shame.
FUCK BUT IN GNOLL
It swings it's spear around at Taka.
rolling 1d20+3 = 2+3 = 5
god damn they are not meant to be fought at level 5
The hyena bleeds at you.
Manu Palila feels kinda bad about constantly shocking the poor guys.

I'm about done with this one
Harika just skips her turn.
oh right Harika
I forgot her
Let her murder a gnoll for an Intimidate check
god damn the damage
well that's my turn over
It's almost like sneak attack was never intended to be used with TWF...
I'm only level 5 and I'm already rivaling Rochelle
Sneak Attack was totally meant to be used with TWF
The shenanigans are real!
Just wait till you fight things without crit spots.
Undead arn't immune anymore
Manu holds his hand threateningly towards the last gnoll.
something about targeting important structural anatomy
What is that...the middle finger, or...
okay so
I'm gonna just go in this door now
"These are Gnolls?"
Victory music is a good pavlovian conditioning stimulus.
I pick the lock
the hell kind of roll is that?
not while we're in front of it, Lux!
you idiot we're right here!
Given the brittle wood, you still do not cave it in.
"What are you doing!?"
"Let me work!"
"Muscle does not solve doors!"
Anyway, I'm sure these Gnolls, who live here, do not possess a key.
So you pick it open.
"I thought it would've been more brittle."
Oh I have some treasures.
"Think with head, not skull"
1x Masterwork Buckler
24gp
Scroll of Detect Evil
also, Streak, could you make a party loot bag?
None of us can use that scroll.
There's a handout for you already.
So I'll just.
Take it for later.
Party Journal is for notes
not loots
It can be both!
Just separate stuff out, it's fine.
also we don't have a half oni with a magic backpack to carry everything
so we ultimately have to spread things out a little more
You sure don't.
But let's sort that later.
Please don't make me carry things.
I have 7 strength.
I just realized now but shouldn't Roche be a tiefling if she's half oni
That would've ruined the surprise!
she's half Earth Yai
which is bigger
Also oni are technically giants.
So it works out.
So, the tomb is open, and you all enter to what is possibly the most pointless map ever.
but they are definitely outsiders of some type
"What marvelous tiling..."
I sneak downstairs to check it out
It's a small entrance room. There's some old graves indented into the wall, old carvings that have lost their beauty with age.
Some nature is sneaking through too.
Taka, you note that these graves have been looted, and are empty.
"Who would such an awful thing."
Takaanu heads downstairs then
There's a ton of tracks coming up and down these stairs too. Someone's been busy.
Roll stealth for me.
"You'd be surprised at the lack of respect some things have, Lux."
Pretty good.
Gimme a sec here...
Taka descends and see's the room open up into a grand entrance.
Oh my, look at all the gnolls!
Takaanu pokes his head back up the stairs and holds up 6 fingures
Everyone is quitely following her.
The gnolls are all chatting, and don't notice you yet, but your position is quite open.
rolling 1d20+2 = 10+2 = 12
rolling 1d20+2 = 1+2 = 3
Point of note: you do have to actually have things to hide behind to even use stealth rolls.
are they holding their weapons?
or are they on their belts?
They're holding their weapons.
"Anyone in need of some patching up?
If you're out in the open, normally you're not allowed to make the roll at all.
"I'm quite good, thank you."
oh
then I shouldn't be here
I'll allow it this time, but good to know.
I'm not sure what your plan is though.
that's kinda why I'm behind the rock
There's a reason there are fancy spells and feats that let you hide in plain sight.
I wanted to steal their weapons
One of them has their quiver on the floor.
The top one.
It still has a spear, though.
yeah no I'm not going over there
For note, I want it to be known that Manu walks back outside for a bit and gets that mud again.
oh okay
I'll just
take that
I don't have any buffs to cast, really so I'm gucci.
rolling 1d20+2 = 19+2 = 21
Oh, close.
You take the quiver.
what about the other one?
It's got about 15 arrows inside.
His is sensibly on his back.
I just want to make it harder for them to fight
I can use a shuriken to cut it off of his back
though...hmmm
(it's also important to note that SoH can only steal things if you both beat their perception and DC 20- you're good for now but keep that in mind)
That's going to alert him for sure.
oh so I have to get about 20
eh...I'll just head back up
motion for the others to come down in 6 seconds
These guys are the worst guards.
Everyone coming down?
rolling 1d20+2 = 12+2 = 14
Right, cool, I'm gonna animate this ball of mud quick.
god damn they are so bad at this

rolling 1d20+1 = 9+1 = 10
rolling 1d20+2 = 9+2 = 11
(kahena's DR definitely wore off by the way)
Right, first things first.
well now the turn order broke for me...
How many minutes has it been since that gnoll fight?
Probably more than 4.
Yeah.
About 5 or something.
From the looting and whatnot.
Is all the stone here tiles and bricks?
It's all normal terrain, althoug that rock is a small cover.
Not enough to block attacks though.
he's probably asking for spell reasons
Yeah, I have a spell that only works on natural dirt/stone.
Some dirt is exposed, anyway.
All four of those upper right boys need to make will saves.
rolling 1d20 = 2 = 2
rolling 1d20 = 19 = 19
rolling 1d20 = 20 = 20
rolling 1d20 = 7 = 7
The middle two save, the other two take...
rolling d2 = 1 = 1
two of them actually made it
1 wis damage and are now shaken.
-2 to attack rolls, okay..
There's a big ol' fog cloud over there that occasionally makes you see your worst nightmare.
| Knowledge (Arcana) |

I'm guessing I don't want to move into that
Not really, no.
It also gives partial concealment if you're not next to them.

What are you checking, Lux?
Oh, Haunting Mists.

[1d20+11] = 15+11 = 26

So that first attack isn't an attack.
no lethal strike on the first attack
oh it is an attack
Stunning Fist is added to attacks
make a fort save
rolling 1d20+4 = 18+4 = 22
that'll do it...
no stun, so no sneak attack damage
still got electric damage though
| Stunning FistFeats |
| Source Ur-Warrior (5) |
| Frequency |
| 5/5Per day |
| Save |
| Fort DC16 |
| Can stun opponents |
| You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next turn). A stunned character drops everything held, can’t take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once per round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned. |
It's stunned, but not like that.
so does he step back and prepare his bow?
There are many other gnolls who can go first.
No, it'll use it's spear instead.
well aright
do your other gnoll stuff though
Attack on you first.
rolling 1d20+3 = 12+3 = 15
Yeah no.
Takaanu kicks the spear away
its a block
my entire AC is monk bullshit
(it was just flavor)
This one moves up here and opens this door.
This one attacks the dino.
rolling 1d20+3 = 10+3 = 13
Nope?
...Really gotta step this up huh.
Little bit, unfortunately.
You should've learned, my dude!
I thought numbers would help.
yeah that is not going to do anything to level 5 characters
Numbers don't do anything but divide our hits.
you forgot the golden rule, it don't matter if it can't hit anything
holy shit you've arrived
are you alright?

And the final Gnoll...
rolling 1d20+3 = 20+3 = 23
rolling 1d20+3 = 14+3 = 17
For future reference, Streak; I would highly advise against ever using enemies more than 2 CR below our APL.
i don't even know if I deserve to be here
Well, you're down there at the bottom.
Of course you do, I love you, Mopp.
Currently standing in front of me!
We'll fill you in after the fight here.
you got here and you seem to not be dead so
Anyway, is that a crit or not?
I am in blunt bird mode so
You are much less asleep than we thought.
It isnt!
rolling 1d8+3 = 2+3 = 5
Against Lux, I don't believe so.
5 damage to Lux.
It was very close though.
That'd have been 15 instead.
Good thing you're here, bud, it's Harika's turn soon.
So you have a number of Gnolls.
One is jolting out the top door.
This chamber is heart shaped
almost
Whichever needs to be at that moment.
ok I think someone might have to take my turn for me because I will be here for another hour working out how my character operates
lord knows you know better than me
You dance and beat things up by being beautiful.
You have some spells, or you can heal dance.
In a 30ft radius.
I think its 1d6?
Lux just took 5 damage but that's it.
These boys is hardy.
You can just run in and stab a dude.
Your attack roll with the temple sword is pretty good.
The leftmost one is actually quite hurt.
where's the north one going again?
out the window??
It leads further into the tomb.
"You're not going anywhere, Dogbreath!"
I fire ny bow at north one
(plus this way i get to add mopp to the session tracker to continue his remarkable attendance)
druf don't stab me in the heart
(this might be why Mopp doesn't think he has good attendance)

this is with the legacy arrow

It's still alive, though.
It screams quite loud.
Roll Sense Motive, guys.
"Yeah, that's what I thought"
Okay, Manu gets the sense that it wasn't screaming in pain.
i like your colorful rolls
"It's calling out to something deeper in the tomb..."
Good, he's still in range.
First things first, let's make sure that gnoll doesn't move next turn.
did you leave my elephant outside or has he been kidnapped
or eaten
We don't have a pog for him yet.
no elephant pog apparently?
Or more specifically, we do, but it hasn't been added.
What's that gnoll's CMD, streak?
I'll get that sorted for next time.
It's...15
rolling d20+12 = 9+12 = 21
The mud buddy charges at him, crashing into his legs and knocking him to the floor!
Muddy...buddy...
He's quite startled.
Next, full attack with Kahena.
[1d20+9] = 8+9 = 17[1d20+3] = 2+3 = 5[1d20+3] = 14+3 = 17
rolling d8+d4+12 = 4+2+12 = 18
Then, hm...
I am starting to run low on spells.
You've got an Owl in the wings
I mean, is there more, he's quite dead.
yeah stop using all your spells on knolls
Right, rushing in and scimitar-ing then.
Is the boss gonna be called Beyonce Gnolls
rolling d20+9 = 8+9 = 17
rolling d6+6 = 6+6 = 12
I slash the archer boy in the back.
I'm done!

he's Flat Footed

I spend ki to make one additional attack at max BAB
Oh, okay.
Yes, that's two hits then.
Could've sworn that was only during flurries, but alright.
You land the star right in it's throat.
Own.
Owch.
oh its only in full attacks
there it is
yeah okay the second star didn't happen
where did we put the fuckin bardic things in the sheet
Um, feats I think
Somewhere in that section.
I recommend keeping a list of the things you can do on a notepad or something
just as a reminder
Look at all those...chickens.
i don't have control over my pog
guess this is my punishment
this happened to all of us before
Drag your sheet onto the board
from the library
That should be good.
Hang out with my owl pal.
quick question
using dances is a full-fround action
if its like bards its a standard action
if its some special thing than maybe
ok so it's pavane which is full-round
Some of her dances are FRAs, yes.
ok I use a swift action to activate Predator's Grace
giving me 15ft more floor to run
so I high step over here
(he has -4 AC due to being on the ground)
thank you

Mud Buddy celebrates the bloodshed.
Harika Atesh takes the arrow back
Oh, Mud Buddy is gone.
The spell discharges when he trips someone.
He just slams into their legs in a suicide charge.
Mud Buddy...gave his life?
...Is that the spell's name.
Mud Buddy is the name of the spell, yes.
I did not thing you were serious
but okay
I mean, it's a 2nd level spell, so yes he will definitely be back later.
Once I get my spell slots back.
Right, so.
I'm gonna just tap Kahena on the shoulder and cast a spell on him.
CHAAAARGE
stop burnign spells!
also take out the guy to the north
"Deal with this guy! He's got his vitals to a wall"
I can't sneak attack him
I was gonna deal with the guy next to a door.
You could just stab him in the normal fashion.
He seems like a more credible threat.
I can sneak attack him though
Well, just go stab the guy up there normally.
you know what
just do it
its gnolls
kill the shaken guy
[1d20+9] = 9+9 = 18[1d20+3] = 10+3 = 13[1d20+3] = 20+3 = 23

opening a door is...what kind of action?
I can't remember if its swift or standard
Well, you're done in any case.
eh I'll just open the door
what is inside?
The Gnoll is desperate, and swings its bow at Lux.
rolling 1d20-1 = 11-1 = 10

"Shush"
"Too loud"
It's full of dead people's ashes, probably.
Taka...you see.
Not much. This is the start of a larger room.
He sees... the end of the session...
Takaanu peaks his head around the corner
Yeah we're about to end I think
What's around the corner???
Find out next time.
Oh, wait.
I have 5 1st level spell slots, and 1 each of 2nd and 3rd.
ah, there it is
the Victory Theme
I'm still doing ok.
And I haven't used either of my wild shape charges.
I keep telling you to not use every spell you have
on gnolls
they cannot even tough us
touch
I'll let you know, you may have a resting opportunity soon.
but we want to feel powerful
What's the point of having all these cool powers if I can't pointlessly waste them!
:P
waste them in style at least then
So feel free to keep being cool.
Don't tell me wasting a 3rd level spell slot on gnolls, it's classy.
Call Lightning is such a fun spell.
I mean, you can just rest in this place, it's not the most dangerous place.
Demon castle it ain't.
Harika Atesh stretches
I'm gonna go take a nap on this dirt.
Takaanu is low to the ground, turns his head around the corner cautiously
"so, anyone wanna remind me why we're here again?"
"my memory isn't so good"
"cool"
Yeah I was gonna say do that.
"Quakes happening, magic aura underground"
"Going underground through here"
You met this lady at the inn, who posted the job.
Earthquakes, inn, angus macdonald, dire wolf, pacifist playthrough, tomb of gnolls.
"Small wizard said this is good way down"
And this fella here explained that he thinks the quakes are coming from inside the tomb!!
"Not a blue jay. I'm a Tengu"
Or underground, at the very leas.
Well, technically he said that the quakes are coming from deep underground, and that this tomb is a good way to get depe.
deep*
I mean you have absolutely ruined the pacsifist playthough now.
Also it just so happens to be guarded by CE hyenamen so.
tfw it's three hundred feet left of the lowest level chamber
I have earth glide!
Wait, shit, that's level 6.
suprise sans undertale is in the next room
Anyway, I'm declaring this nap time.
well if you'd said first then MAYBE I wouldn't have joyously beheaded a crippled foe :P
You all did a lot of murder here today, but these guys are CE so don't worry about it.
the others were just wolves who got spooked
Mostly because I may still have to be up early tomorrow for more gaming.
we didn't want to kill the wolves
I'm off to dinner
Enjoyed, but too many Gnolls
Next time, maybe we don't steamroll the encounters?
Please leave feedback in the comments below.
and I'm off to penitent myself
I suspect that'll be different by the time we play again
the tiles are very nice
Even though I hit only once today.
By the way, I will be adjusting the future encounters now. :b
All the gnolls will have been mysteriously replaced by mariliths.
thought so
just give them templates
I mean, there were tougher things ahead anyway
just gonna beef em up a teeny bit
