Session Three - The Necromancer
[2023/09/04 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me hurriedly opens files and notecards and tries to remember where we got to
[2023/09/04 16:00] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I remember an argument, a bloody, deadly fight, and some confused villagers.
[2023/09/04 16:00] Alicia Frakture: Gobbos and Monsters Leesha coming out of a rage and citizens seeing the after effects of the fighting
[2023/09/04 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me coughs and ruffles her papers
[2023/09/04 16:01] Alicia Frakture: And the loss of one of our Clerics, sadly
[2023/09/04 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Greeeeeeeeeeetings Adventurers.... some players get character progression and XP rewards.... you get your wins & run-aways immortalized on my website
[2023/09/04 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: So... we got, as I recall it, two mortally wounded goblins, one dead party member and you're all beat up
[2023/09/04 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: The villagers are staying well away from you, since you are presenting quite the horrific sight
[2023/09/04 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: What now?
[2023/09/04 16:03] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Are any of you a healer?" Debben asks the approaching villagers.
[2023/09/04 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Although you're the least worrying to look at, they all back away, shaking heads
[2023/09/04 16:05] Alicia Frakture: Leesha drops to her knees, no longer angry."Shit." She shakes her head.
[2023/09/04 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: The villagers mumble and help Dahlia and carry the goblins - the dead good ones too, and Megan, rather more carefully in her case, back to the village
[2023/09/04 16:07] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): checks on each of the party members and the goblin too to see if any are wounded or just need bandaging
[2023/09/04 16:08] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I didn't even see her get hit," Debben laments with regards to Megan, a lot of the wind of her sails taken out of her. Being almost dead on her own feet doesn't help much either.
[2023/09/04 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: The two living goblins are barely alive; a few days of bed rest should see to them. You all could probably do with that too, and pyres/burials will need arranging for the fallen
[2023/09/04 16:08] Alicia Frakture: Waves off any possible healing on her and slowly gets to her feet."See who get hit?"
[2023/09/04 16:09] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Megan. Last I saw she was tending to one of the good goblins and I had a wolf trying to take a bite out of my sides."
[2023/09/04 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Back to the village to recuperate? (Megan got savaged by a wolf.)
[2023/09/04 16:10] Alicia Frakture: Leesha sighs and begins heading back with the others
[2023/09/04 16:12] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Yeah, recuperate in the village.
[2023/09/04 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, a few days rest is the plan? Although that does carry some issues itself
[2023/09/04 16:12] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): heads towards the village with everyone and helps as best she can with all that are recovering for a few days
[2023/09/04 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: (remember the plan was originally to rescue the good goblins then deal with the guy desecrating graves)
[2023/09/04 16:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: (( So the amount of time it takes us to heal up matters. ))
[2023/09/04 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Possibly!)
[2023/09/04 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: (depends how -nasty- I feel...!)
[2023/09/04 16:15] Alicia Frakture: Leesha walks back silently, thinking.
[2023/09/04 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: The first day passes without problem, and the villagers organize the burning of the goblins (It's what the Great Wahookah would want), and Megan gets a space in the church yard. However, it's night time when.... something happens'
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: To DINA (Dahlia) *** Special Note from the DM: You awake from a nightmare with a scream - if asked, a hooded figure (you've no idea of size) told you to "return that which was taken"
[2023/09/04 16:17] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Question
[2023/09/04 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Answer:
[2023/09/04 16:17] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Have I had enough rest that my Spell Slots are back?
[2023/09/04 16:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: and if so, how much HP should I be up to from my max of... 2?
[2023/09/04 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, and yes, if you rest "for a few days", you'll regain all HP/spells (2 for you)
[2023/09/04 16:19] Alicia Frakture: I don't think we have a few days
[2023/09/04 16:20] Alicia Frakture: But Leesha goes to Megans grave and stands there during the day.
[2023/09/04 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: You'll need a few days, unless you want to face the next part beat up.
[2023/09/04 16:20] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I meant after the first day when the something is about to happen.
[2023/09/04 16:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I guess to stop being vague about it, how much HP per day do we recover?
[2023/09/04 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Chances are high, anyway, that the bad guys are as "damaged" and need to regroup themselves
[2023/09/04 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Vague DM is deliberately vague
[2023/09/04 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: but if you take complete bed rest, 3hp/day
[2023/09/04 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: just normal rest without exertion, 2hp/day
[2023/09/04 16:22] Alicia Frakture: well if we got a couple days leesha is gonna go see Granny and figure out the rage thing and rest there, but let the others know wherre she will be
[2023/09/04 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: so 2-3 days should see you right
[2023/09/04 16:23] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: well, Debben is back up in 1 since her health cap is so teeny
[2023/09/04 16:26] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): /me checking on the recovering travelling companions and the goblins that survived as she had been the past few days. Or day depending on how much time has passed so far. Looking a bit out of sorts, well more than usual.....she approached her travelling companions and spoke, "Something strange and awful is happening here. I had a terrible nightmare, out of nowhere and without explanation." she took a deep breath and continued, "a strange hooded figure came to me in a dream. It scared me so much its hard to speak of but wanted you to know"
[2023/09/04 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: The goblins will certainly need at least two days, although they aren't going to join you
[2023/09/04 16:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Leesha, Dahlia, how much rest do you two need?
[2023/09/04 16:28] Alicia Frakture: two days
[2023/09/04 16:28] Alicia Frakture: Scratch that one day
[2023/09/04 16:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: (waiting for Dhalia, see above)
[2023/09/04 16:31] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): /me her breathing is rapid and shallow, her chest rising and falling erratically as if she's struggling to catch her breath. Her trembling hands clutch at the fabric of her blouse, the knuckles white from the tension. She swallows hard, a visible lump in her throat, as if trying to banish the lingering horrors of her nightmare from her mind., "it left me with a message, I have no idea what it meant , it said {"return that which was taken"}, and nothing more"
[2023/09/04 16:32] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): (needs two to three days rest after scary nightmare and needing spell recovery)
[2023/09/04 16:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "What did we take?" Debben frowns. "if they even mean us specifically."
[2023/09/04 16:37] Alicia Frakture: Leesha looks at them, "Aside from looting bodies, didn't we get the apple pie recipe and some pies?
[2023/09/04 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gnoink and Ransee are finally up and about, and of course regaling the villagers with tales of their skill and bravery. Apparantly they single-handedly defeated six hell wyrms.
[2023/09/04 16:41] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "You found that recipe? I distinctly recall trying to find it and coming up empty."
[2023/09/04 16:41] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Maybe it is the bodies they mean... Dhalia, you said this figure was hooded? any features to their cloak?"
[2023/09/04 16:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: You never did find the recipe, however Megan did find the religious tracts she was after
[2023/09/04 16:42] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): /me "Wasn't looking at it that way, something about them just made me terrified", she answered softly
[2023/09/04 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, Ransee has the directions to the magic users' base, as promised by Gnoink
[2023/09/04 16:46] Alicia Frakture: Leesha shakes her head. "I don't know. Did anyone take anything from that haunted ship?"
[2023/09/04 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ready to move on?
[2023/09/04 16:49] Alicia Frakture: /me nods
[2023/09/04 16:50] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: (( back ))
[2023/09/04 16:51] Alicia Frakture: *WB*
[2023/09/04 16:51] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: What are the directions like?
[2023/09/04 16:51] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): (welcome back)
[2023/09/04 16:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ransee gives you directions to a desolate area of the forest, it's easily a day away.There's a big old tower.
[2023/09/04 16:52] Alicia Frakture: Leesha looks at the others."Are you all ready?"
[2023/09/04 16:53] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): nods gently
[2023/09/04 16:54] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "So what, the three of us against the necromancers tower?"
[2023/09/04 16:54] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I think we need to make sure we have some sort of edge before we go for it. Something they won't see coming...."
[2023/09/04 16:55] Alicia Frakture: I'm open to ideas.
[2023/09/04 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... it's quite a hike out to the area pointed out. Luckily it's uneventful... eventually you come to a rather more overgrown, less travelled area of the forest. It's rather quiet.
[2023/09/04 16:56] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I guess we'll see how big of a tower it turns out to be. Old means it's probably got damage and hidden entrances if you two are up for a spot of climbing after me. We'll want some extra rope."
[2023/09/04 17:00] Alicia Frakture: Leesha pauses a moment and looks at Debben."You mentioned an edge. Do you have any ideas. We got climbing and hidden entrances, but anything weapon wise?" She looks at Dahlia."Anything in the Cleric skills that can give us a boost?"
[2023/09/04 17:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who wants to roll a d20 for a perception check?
[2023/09/04 17:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben rolls, succeeds... you are some way off but you hear singing...
[2023/09/04 17:03] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): /me "Well I can definently offer healing. I also have other magics that could help with handling environmental hazards, and other hazards like poison and such"
[2023/09/04 17:04] Alicia Frakture: Leesha pauses... "IS that.. singing?"
[2023/09/04 17:04] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Why is there singing so far out here?" Can we make out the words?
[2023/09/04 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's soft... feminine... hard to make out exact words, and it's clear the singer isn't professional... it sounds just like a village girl tending to crops or livestock...
[2023/09/04 17:07] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): tries to follow the sound to its source, paying attention to surroundings at the same time
[2023/09/04 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: You don't have far to look - round a tree, a village girl, digging at the roots of a tree, her back to you
[2023/09/04 17:07] Alicia Frakture: Should we check it out.. I guess so." Leesha follows, trying to be as quiet as possible.
[2023/09/04 17:08] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Human villager?
[2023/09/04 17:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: As far as you can tell from behind.
[2023/09/04 17:11] Alicia Frakture: Leesha just watches, she does not want to do anything Rash this time
[2023/09/04 17:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Hummm... Mmmmm.... la-dee..." she rises and turns, brushing off dirt from a large mushroom. She looks up and sees you, her hand instantly flying to her waist, where a dagger is tucked into the hem of her dress. "Oh! Who are you?"
[2023/09/04 17:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Actually... that'll be the dreaded cliffhanger for the night!
[2023/09/04 17:14] Alicia Frakture: Oh nice
[2023/09/04 17:14] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ooooh
[2023/09/04 17:15] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): that was fun :)
[2023/09/04 17:15] Alicia Frakture: Indeed it was
