[2025/10/23 14:05] Andreas: =)
[2025/10/23 14:05] Andreas: hi kittens
[2025/10/23 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: looks like we are all here
[2025/10/23 14:06] Mecha: Hi Andreas
[2025/10/23 14:06] Mecha: Beep Boop *Hugglesmooches*
[2025/10/23 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: right, let's get this TPK bus under way. Last session, you were in a village square with villagers waving pitchforks and hideous monsters were coming out of a barn...
[2025/10/23 14:08] Mecha: wait, what?
[2025/10/23 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...wait, wrong game.
[2025/10/23 14:09] Andreas: =)
[2025/10/23 14:09] Sapphire: no, here, Bart the Boggart had told us that the terrible twos were coming to descend upon our village, provided we don't manage to get them sunk into the swamp
[2025/10/23 14:10] Andreas: eh? Seems I'm little off, what campaign is it?
[2025/10/23 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: So.... you're in the bog of Lough Fathom, you've encountered a wierd poison gas, and you're trying to meet a banshee. I'm sure nothing can go wrong there.
[2025/10/23 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire has the details of a Cure and you all have a day berry, which grants advantage over undead. It's 2pm in the afternoon.
[2025/10/23 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way..... GGGRRRREEEETTTIINGGGSS Adventurers! Other players get to play awesome D&D, you get subjected to.... whatever the frick this is!
[2025/10/23 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, you first
[2025/10/23 14:13] Mecha: Why this one?
[2025/10/23 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: why not
[2025/10/23 14:14] Mecha: okay, umm Lahli is still coughing from the gas as she crouches doiwn
[2025/10/23 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/10/23 14:15] Sapphire: we are or are not in combat?
[2025/10/23 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: No other entities seem to be visible.
[2025/10/23 14:16] Andreas: /me "what, we're in combat with invisible entities?" grins
[2025/10/23 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's always possible.
[2025/10/23 14:16] Sapphire: anything stopping us from advancing?
[2025/10/23 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: As far as you can tell: no
[2025/10/23 14:19] Andreas: /me "let's move on then" shrugs
[2025/10/23 14:19] Sapphire: gonna try to press forwards past this gas
[2025/10/23 14:20] Mecha: /me nods. "Let's push on
[2025/10/23 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ten minutes of squishy, muddy bog traversal, past croaking frogs, or maybe toads, idk... Oh, and clouds of buzzing mosquitos, and.... Sapphire, roll d20
[2025/10/23 14:20] Andreas: /me "you should get used to gas, do you remember Jasse in the inn?"
[2025/10/23 14:21] D20: Sapphire rolls 14
[2025/10/23 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: and a D6
[2025/10/23 14:21] D6: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/10/23 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you tramp rather squishily through the bog... you notice... spectral figures are fading into sight, rising out of the bog or sweeping through bushes, to stand looking at you.
[2025/10/23 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: They are clearly long dead and appear to wear old armour.
[2025/10/23 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas?
[2025/10/23 14:25] Andreas: /me "hi ghosts, we're looking for someone, we're here to warn you" ... looks from the ghosts at Lahli ... "what was her name?"
[2025/10/23 14:26] Mecha: Kelly.. ann do-rag I think
[2025/10/23 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: The figures just look at you. They don't seem to respond to you talking, although, they can clearly see you.
[2025/10/23 14:27] Andreas: /me waves at them anyway and makes a funny face and gesture at the ghosts "whoop whoop, are you def or dead?"
[2025/10/23 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: They look at each other, in some confusion, and slowly fade from view.
[2025/10/23 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now what?
[2025/10/23 14:29] Mecha: Lahli waits for Andreas to raise his hatchet high*
[2025/10/23 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...he has a hatchet? Thought you all agreed to bury it
[2025/10/23 14:30] Mecha: *Kidding*Lahli figures since they are not attacking she is just going to watch the event, not sure what to do herself.
[2025/10/23 14:31] Andreas: /me "I guess you should continue further, until we find who we're looking for, these ghostly farts won't help us anyway" ... shrugs and looks at Lahli .... "don't you think?"
[2025/10/23 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, moving on.... Andreas, D20
[2025/10/23 14:31] Sapphire: "I wonder what event they are here to memorialize."
[2025/10/23 14:31] D20: Andreas rolls 10
[2025/10/23 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: You squish about... except...
[2025/10/23 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...didn't you pass that bush a few minutes ago? Wait... you're lost! You got turned around somehow.
[2025/10/23 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: well. That's not good. Mecha, D20
[2025/10/23 14:33] Andreas: <- afk 3 mins, brb
[2025/10/23 14:33] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[2025/10/23 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: A wizened, hunched figure in ancient, rusty, decayed armour lurches out of the mist. "Betrayed... betrayed!" It extends its' claws and lunges forwards, snarling viciously!
[2025/10/23 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll initiative?
[2025/10/23 14:35] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9

[2025/10/23 14:35] D20: Mecha rolls 14
[2025/10/23 14:36] D20: Andreas rolls 19
[2025/10/23 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/10/23 14:38] Sapphire: "Betrayed by who?!" Te'ala asks, shield and beater stick raised to duel this thing!
[2025/10/23 14:38] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/10/23 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas! You're first. What do you do?
[2025/10/23 14:39] Andreas: /me "hey creature, you look hungry, can we help you?"
[2025/10/23 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: it does look hungry, you appear to be on the menu.
[2025/10/23 14:40] Andreas: /me "eh not again" ... pulls his spear out and throws it at the creature
[2025/10/23 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d20 to attack!
[2025/10/23 14:41] D20: Andreas rolls 4
[2025/10/23 14:41] Andreas: /me 🤦
[2025/10/23 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: You toss your spear into the bog.
[2025/10/23 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphires' dragon pet takes flight, wings whirring loudly, making a rasping HISS of annoyance, and dives to attack the creature.
[2025/10/23 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, D20
[2025/10/23 14:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2025/10/23 14:44] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/10/23 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, even the DM can't roll fer shit.
[2025/10/23 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire however has the magic touch; the pet dragon bites at the creature, and spits out the mouthful of rotten flesh
[2025/10/23 14:44] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/10/23 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: 2 points damage
[2025/10/23 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha
[2025/10/23 14:45] Mecha: Lahli is gonna try to slam her mace into the top of the lunging bastards head. See if she can just us the swing and momentum to drive him into the ground.
[2025/10/23 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20
[2025/10/23 14:46] D20: Mecha rolls 10
[2025/10/23 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you try, but, there's a slight flaw in your plan.
[2025/10/23 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: It lunges at Lahli!
[2025/10/23 14:47] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/10/23 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....
[2025/10/23 14:47] Andreas: /me ha, payback
[2025/10/23 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: 'k.
[2025/10/23 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Te'ala!
[2025/10/23 14:49] Mecha: Winds up face first in the muck anyway?
[2025/10/23 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, with a nat1, yes.
[2025/10/23 14:49] Sapphire: Moving to the side of this creature so she can shield bash it to the ground from the side
[2025/10/23 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... you plan.... -kinda- worked
[2025/10/23 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's already on the ground. D20
[2025/10/23 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe Mecha can roll that.
[2025/10/23 14:55] D20: Mecha rolls 12
[2025/10/23 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's prone, so, that's a hit... d4 for the shield bash.
[2025/10/23 14:55] D4: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/10/23 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: It pushes itself up from the slimey dirt!
[2025/10/23 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas, back to you
[2025/10/23 14:57] Sapphire: thanks Mecha
[2025/10/23 14:58] Mecha: You're welcome :)
[2025/10/23 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas, what action are you taking now?
[2025/10/23 14:59] Andreas: /me so it's laying down .... pulls out his mushroom dagger and tries to stab it
[2025/10/23 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2025/10/23 14:59] D20: Andreas rolls 17
[2025/10/23 14:59] Andreas: /me "ha!"
[2025/10/23 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: well done, 1d4
[2025/10/23 15:00] D4: Andreas rolls 2
[2025/10/23 15:00] Andreas: mhmmm
[2025/10/23 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: 3 points damage.... it's still trying to get up, though
[2025/10/23 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphires' dragon swoops in... D20, Sapphire
[2025/10/23 15:02] D20: Sapphire rolls 18
[2025/10/23 15:02] Sapphire: d4 or d6 ?
[2025/10/23 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: woo! D6
[2025/10/23 15:03] D6: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/10/23 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: It bites out another mouthful of rotten flesh and spits it back out!
[2025/10/23 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lahli?
[2025/10/23 15:04] Mecha: It hasn't gotten to its feet so another swing. to hurt it and hopefully keep it down.
[2025/10/23 15:04] D20: Mecha rolls 13
[2025/10/23 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's a hit.
[2025/10/23 15:04] D6: Mecha rolls 2
[2025/10/23 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: It flops down, gagging loudly and jerking spastically.
[2025/10/23 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's dead.
[2025/10/23 15:05] Andreas: /me wasn't it already dead?
[2025/10/23 15:05] Sapphire: now it's re-dead
[2025/10/23 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: The small dragon settles back on Te'alas' shoulder, looking satisfied with itself.
[2025/10/23 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's more dead.
[2025/10/23 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: So... moving on?
[2025/10/23 15:06] Mecha: search the body
[2025/10/23 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find nothing more than rotten leather, and various foul insects that are attracted to carrion.
[2025/10/23 15:07] Mecha: ew
[2025/10/23 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: yes, let's move on from this revolting scene
[2025/10/23 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: After another squishy bog-tramping traversal... You hear the sounds of someone crying.
[2025/10/23 15:09] Mecha: gonna go investigate
[2025/10/23 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find a young human girl in the swamp, injured and alone. Kneeling down, face in hands, crying. "We are dead and forgotten out here!"
[2025/10/23 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20, Mecha
[2025/10/23 15:10] D20: Mecha rolls 13
[2025/10/23 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: you notice... she's ever so slightly translucent.
[2025/10/23 15:11] Mecha: How can we fix that? What is your story so I can tell it. You don't deserve to be forgotten
[2025/10/23 15:12] Andreas: /me "we're not yet dead and well around seems dead is not really a thing, seems like death forgot about this place" shrugs
[2025/10/23 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: She rises up and turns to face you; she's a tall redhead with pale, rotten flesh and jet black dead eyes. "What are you doing in my bog....?" she hisses, flexing her claws at her sides
[2025/10/23 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2025/10/23 15:13] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2025/10/23 15:14] Sapphire: "Traveling to stop the trolls," Te'ala explains.
[2025/10/23 15:14] Mecha: We are looking for Kelly An Darth?.. Dargh Is that you? Also I mean it, you dont deserve to be forgotten
[2025/10/23 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: you have met a -very- similar creature before. Melody Wraith, the banshee lead singer of the Grateful Dead.
[2025/10/23 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Figure: "Trolls? What trolls. Why should I care? And, you've found me, I am Kelly An Daerg."
[2025/10/23 15:17] Mecha: Lahli looks to Te' and Andreas."You two can explain it better than me."
[2025/10/23 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: can they.... really, can they....?
[2025/10/23 15:19] Sapphire: "There is a great and terrible wizard who is seeking to take over the country," she begins.
[2025/10/23 15:19] Sapphire: "His forces mean to rampage across the towns, and will be passing through here, specifically, over the next week."
[2025/10/23 15:19] Andreas: /me "well there is one upset guy who came to negotiate death or slavery, there is a hmmm some dark mage or what, who has an army of trolls and they want to take everything what comes in their way, Kelly. So we've been wondering if you could help us to somehow stop them?"
[2025/10/23 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Bah. So there was, a hundred years ago, and look what he did to me."
[2025/10/23 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "I swore vengance on him with my last breath, and, look where -that- got me."
[2025/10/23 15:21] Andreas: /me "hmm so seem you don't want peace nor vengeance anymore, well .... there you are" turns at Lahli and Te'ala ... "seems she can't help" shrugs
[2025/10/23 15:22] Mecha: It does seem to be a continuing situation, but hopefully we can put a stop to this one. *Pauses to look at Andreas.* " Not a great way to get someones help."
[2025/10/23 15:23] Andreas: /me "we don't have too much time Lahli, I rather spend time running, then begging, look what he did to her .... I don't want to end up like that, but if you do, enjoy"
[2025/10/23 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "So? Another evil wizard trying to rule the world. And I got knifed in my back by my very own leiutenant."
[2025/10/23 15:26] Mecha: Lahli nods, and then pauses."If that lieutenant were still alive today I'd give them what-for. Disrespectful and evil right there.
[2025/10/23 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Damn right, sister. Bloody fool was supposed to love me, turned out to be a jealous dog. I swore vengance upon him, too!"
[2025/10/23 15:27] Sapphire: "What was their name?"
[2025/10/23 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: *spits* "Lord Caelan" *spits*
[2025/10/23 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2025/10/23 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyone?
[2025/10/23 15:29] D20: Mecha rolls 13
[2025/10/23 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm... Lord Caelan... wasn't he the guy in the burial mound that you went into...?
[2025/10/23 15:30] Mecha: Oh... OHHHH Him! He thinks I am crazy.
[2025/10/23 15:30] Mecha: He's also dead, well undead
[2025/10/23 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "He's dead too? Guess I won't get vengance on him... how'd he die, then?"
[2025/10/23 15:31] D20: Sapphire rolls 18
[2025/10/23 15:32] Sapphire: Te'ala thinks to what they know. Wasn't he knifed in the back by -his- leuitenant?
[2025/10/23 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: More sort of ceremonially slaughtered with his troops as an example of what happens to traitors.
[2025/10/23 15:35] Mecha: He paid the price of being a traitor
[2025/10/23 15:35] Andreas: /me "sounds like happy end to me"
[2025/10/23 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Eh. Was it painful...?"
[2025/10/23 15:36] Mecha: Wasn't there for it but he does look like a wreck and seems to be stuck in his tomb.. He also does not like being barked at
[2025/10/23 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Good. Eh. Guess a hundred years is a long time to hold a grudge. If you see him... idk... I guess I forgive him."
[2025/10/23 15:39] Mecha: Will do, but until we go back there is there anything you might be able to do to help us with our current problem. he has a bugbear assistant
[2025/10/23 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "What big bare-ass ant are you mumbling about?"
[2025/10/23 15:40] Sapphire: "A sort of tall, unusually clever orc."
[2025/10/23 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Would like some help against goblins, too?"
[2025/10/23 15:42] Mecha: /me nods."Yes please."
[2025/10/23 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "...I was being sarcastic."
[2025/10/23 15:44] Mecha: And I wasn't. It's a big army and somehow the town seems to think us three are the ones to beat their army and the ones running that army
[2025/10/23 15:44] Andreas: /me "I guess, you've been sarcastic with the forgiveness"
[2025/10/23 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Why should I care, I'm dead. Who's running that army, anyway."
[2025/10/23 15:45] Mecha: Thargon, I think
[2025/10/23 15:45] Mecha: If I remember it correctly
[2025/10/23 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Thargon... Thargon what?"
[2025/10/23 15:46] Mecha: The... Um the black wizard Thargon
[2025/10/23 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2025/10/23 15:46] D20: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/10/23 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: You recall his full name: the Black Wizard Thargon Cenardis
[2025/10/23 15:47] Mecha: The Black Wizard Thargon Cenardis
[2025/10/23 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: and that.... is the modernized version of... Lord Cennard.
[2025/10/23 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly splutters and erupts in curses. "He brings that army of his here, it's dead! Like me. But a favour for a favour - that git won't be with his army. You take of him, for me."
[2025/10/23 15:49] Mecha: Lahli nods
[2025/10/23 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "You're in agreement?"
[2025/10/23 15:50] Mecha: I am but I wont speak for the others, that is their own decision.
[2025/10/23 15:50] Sapphire: "It sounds like neither of us want that army in operation."
[2025/10/23 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kelly: "Then leave them to me." She points, back the way you came. "Now.... go!"
[2025/10/23 15:51] Sapphire: "your assistance is greatly appreciated."
[2025/10/23 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: And so you begin the journey back....
[2025/10/23 15:51] Mecha: Lahli nods and begins to back away
[2025/10/23 15:51] Andreas: /me "army ... hmmm I consider"
[2025/10/23 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a long trip, and, as darkness falls... you glance back at the bog.
[2025/10/23 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: As the sun sinks behind the shrouded trees, a thick mist envelopes the bog, setting the stage for an eerie confrontation. The ground trembles as a massive horde of trolls, their green skin glistening with the muck of the mire, surged forward with guttural roars, confident in their brute strength. But from the depths of the bog, the chilling wails of the betrayed spirits rose, wispy figures clad in tattered remnants of armor, their translucent forms glowing faintly in the twilight. As the trolls clumsily charged, the spirits surged forth, their ethereal hands reaching out, siphoning the very warmth from the trolls’ bodies. The air crackled with an otherworldly energy as ghostly weapons clashed against club and claw, while the bog itself seemed to come alive, ensnaring the trolls in its grasp.

[2025/10/23 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me pauses for you to read the demise of the Great Troll Army
[2025/10/23 15:53] Mecha: Not to sound mean and violent but Let's go kick some ass... But first rest. We should hit him when we are at full strength
[2025/10/23 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Only trouble is.... you don't know where... and it's late now. You should rest back at the Hook, Line and Sinker
[2025/10/23 15:55] Sapphire: Te'ala watches with a grim satisfaction. Manipulating events to her will, without bloodying her own hands.
[2025/10/23 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: When you get back to the tavern, you see a bunch of placards outside. "World famous punch! Available for a limited time only - enquire within!"
[2025/10/23 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al greets you: "Welcome back! By the way, we just started serving the very best in fruit punch. It's world famous! Just earlier, we had a drow elf, a Githyanki, and Modron come in to try some."
[2025/10/23 15:57] Sapphire: "I can't imagine it was a quiet discussion, with those three in the room."
[2025/10/23 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Indeed not! We had to start separate queues to serve customers in an orderly fashion. If you want some... gotta get in line."
[2025/10/23 15:58] Andreas: /me "hi Al, I need a fruit punch, maybe more than one, thank you"
[2025/10/23 15:58] Mecha: I'm good but would not turn down a cup of tea please
[2025/10/23 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Tea coming up. Andreas, join the queue!"
[2025/10/23 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: In the tavern, you see queues before signs at the bar... one for Ale, one for Beer, and one for Cider. There are no other queues.
[2025/10/23 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Oh, uh, huh. Hmm. Sorry, there is no punchline."
[2025/10/23 16:01] Mecha: Lahli can not help but laugh out loud at that
[2025/10/23 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that, Chapter Six comes to a close, next week you are all a level up and Chapter Seven will start!
[2025/10/23 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thank you all for coming... hope you're liking it so far... BBEG fight is coming right up.... ;)
[2025/10/23 16:02] Andreas: /me "..... I've seen things recently, that you wouldn't believe Al, so beer, ale, cider or punch, whatever, ideally all of it at this point"
[2025/10/23 16:03] Mecha: *Good game tonight*
[2025/10/23 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: wait until next week.... ;)
[2025/10/23 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, gotta dash... you'll want your wits about you and your best die rolls for Chapter 7. I think you'll love it ;)
[2025/10/23 16:05] Andreas: thank you for the fun, this one was interesting Sonja
[2025/10/23 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: excellent :)
