The Firstborn — IC

[ratwizard]

Dessarius

Alvis shows you a demonstration of the mask — how to apply the scented aromatics and herbs, and how to replace them. The particular mask he uses appears to use thin, glass openings for the eyes, and must be very expensive. You consider you could make a version with thick cloth netting that would perform somewhat similarly, especially if wetted first to aid in trapping unwanted substances. All of the ingredients are available at Idrial's, provided you are only making a prototype for yourself. Otherwise, the production of multiple devices will require further material investment.

Alvis smiles. "A gold coin for the herbs and spices. My help comes free to a young, bright mind as yourself."

 

[FinalTemplar]

Dessarius

Dessarius watches intently and then nods quickly as he pulls out a gold coin. "Thank you, Alvis. I always look forward to doing business with you!" He says, trading the coin for the herbs.

OOC

If you want to move us forward, you can

[ratwizard]

Dessarius

"Very well, here you are. Good luck with your nokve problem. If you've further need of my reagents or services, you always know where to find me!" Alvis gives you a wide smile before you take your aromatics and leave his shop.

You now understand the design enough to be able to put the masks together with basic, available materials. You think you could build a prototype using borrowed materials from Idrial's shop, and the purchased herbs, in about an hour. Any further masks would require your own materials, and additional aromatics, and additional time.

[FinalTemplar]

Dessarius

Dessarius takes the small bundle of herbs back to Idrial's shop and begins making the mask for himself.

[ratwizard]

Dessarius

You head back to the Low Docks, to Idrial's workshop. Using some spare leather, some fabric, and bits of iron, you are able to make a rough equivalent of the mask Alvis showed you.

Perfumed Mask
You are able to breathe normally in adverse conditions, such as a cave full of ammonia.

[FinalTemplar]

OOC

Mask acquired! Added to inventory!

[ratwizard]

Dessarius

After cleaning up your work, you depart Idrial's workshop and cross the city back toward where you left the group. You arrive to find them with a bundle of several fish, and a few handfuls of grubs and shellfish — awaiting your return. All in all, your trek took about two and a half hours, and it is now early afternoon.

Everyone Else

It takes about two and a half hours, but Dessarius returns. In that time, Sisera has managed to spear a handful of fish total, while Vaughn forages a couple handfuls of grubs, shellfish, and a bit of kelp. It is now early afternoon.

[Namelessjake]

Alierin is lounging on a larger rock, sunning herself, when Dessarius returns.

"How'd things go?" She calls out to the blacksmith as he approaches. "These two have gotten us a good amount of bait," she adds as she stands up. "Hopefully we can now get to the bottom of this pretty quickly. We need to get to the Southward for eight tonight," she says, reminding everyone of their plan with Gerirl.

[Scratcherclaw]

"Agreed, we can't waste too much time," Aeron says, giving Alierin a glance and wondering how much of her composure is a facade. We can't let him down, or let her down. "Let's try and get to the bottom of this as soon as we can."

 

[FinalTemplar]

"I bought myself enough time to make this," He proudly holds up the beaked mask. "It's my first shot at it, but I think it should work just fine in helping to block out the smells of the cave." He looks back at the others and continues, "I did not have time to make any for the rest of you, though, it would have likely taken me the whole day and then some, with much more gold needed to procure the supplies, and I figured it would be better to get back here and make sure that this worked for the purpose I needed it for instead of spending the... anyways, my point is made."

He pauses, realizing that he is letting himself ramble. "That's quite the basket of fish. I've never actually seen that much fish together in one place before, honestly. I mean, there was that one time in the river... Nevermind."

[Namelessjake]

"Well hopefully it works, let's get back in there," Alierin says, starting back towards the cave system.

Has he never been to the market? She wonders at Dess' mention of never seeing so many fish.

[ratwizard]

"That is quite the beak," Cymril comments at Dessarius' mask as she follows along. "You created that in just an hour?"

As soon as you enter the cave, the all-too-familiar stench of ammonia fills your nose — except for Dessarius, who hardly notices. Ahead, the bodies of several nokve from your first scrap lay still along the cave floor.

Map

[FinalTemplar]

"Surprisingly, yes." He said, and he put the mask on as he entered into the cave system. "Alright, which way now?" He looks toward Aeron, "Only so many paths we haven't fully explored yet. I believe we didn't make it fully down the tunnel to our right." He says, leaning forward to look out past Aeron.

OOC

I vote go right, and see where the tunnel leads.

[Namelessjake]

"Agreed," Alierin says as Dess suggests continuing to explore the tunnels to the right.

"Maybe Sisera should go first with the bait," she adds. "Someone good with animals at least - if we're going to try and lure the ones left away."


 

[Fialova]

"I can go," Sisera responds, nodding in response to Alierin's comment. "I cannot see well in this place, though. Remind me, which way?" she asks, turning towards Aeron in particular.

[Scratcherclaw]

"Let's get to it then," Aeron says, sticking close behind Sisera so she has enough light to proceed without peril. "Yeah, let's take this first tunnel on the right. Alierin's probably right that our culprits wouldn't want to have to go too deep in."

 

[BartNL]

Vaughn nods in agreement. "If we have the opportunity, we should remove the bags with smelling salts." Vaughn says.

Mechanics

bat spirit, next to Vaughn.

[Fialova]

Sisera nods to Aeron and proceeds within, following the path he'd mentioned towards the nokve they'd come across before. She carries her basket of fish, ready to throw some to the creatures should they remain in their path.

[ratwizard]

You take the first right, Aeron and Dessarius at the lead. The tunnel ends immediately in a dead-end. The nokve that had been here were the first to be dispatched as you recall.

Map

[Namelessjake]

"Okay, well let's try the next tunnel," Alierin says as the first tunnel is revealed to be a dead end, eager to hurry through the cave so they don't miss helping out Gerirl.

[ratwizard]

The group of you return to the middle passageway, but it is only a few short steps before Aeron hears the hissing of two more nokve. Through a crack between two large stalagmite formations that form a wall, he eyes the telltale signs of more of the irritated creatures, their hides discolored and dry instead of slick.

Map

[Namelessjake]

"You're up," Alierin says quietly to Sisera as she hears the sound of the nokve ahead, stepping aside to let the Quellam native through to the front of the party.

[FinalTemplar]

Dess keeps his sword sheathed as they walk, keeping his shield ready purely for defense if the lure doesn't work.

[Scratcherclaw]

"Let's hope they go for the bait," Aeron says, eyeing the nearby nokve cautiously. "Let's move quick once they're distracted."

 

[Fialova]

Nodding at Alierin's comment, Sisera steps ahead and takes one of the fish from her basket, tossing it towards the nearest of the creatures in hopes that it will turn its attention to the meal. 

Mechanics

Nature: [1d20+7]=2+7=9

[ratwizard]

OOC

You can roll a nature roll for animal handling.

[ratwizard]

Sisera's well-placed toss of one of the fish does nothing to dissuade the hissing. The creatures seem to recoil at the projectile, appearing to take it as a sign of aggression. The sounds instead grow in number as you hear more skittering from further in.

OOC

Mini Skill Challenge!
1 failure, but you still have a chance. Feel free to try a new tactic.

[Fialova]

Sisera frowns, and decides to step closer to the strange creatures. She takes a couple steps before kneeling down and placing a few more fish in a small pile, before stepping back to her original position. 

Mechanics

Nature (again): [1d20+7]=4+7=11

[ratwizard]

Encounter 7: Round 1

As Sisera approaches and begins to build a small pile of the fish, the hissing reaches an apex, and the silhouettes in the darkness begin to shift and lurch.

Go: Alierin & Vaughn

Map Info

Cave Wall: If the wall takes up more than half of a square, squeezing is required to be in that square. Squares with only a tiny amount of open space are impassible. Ping me if unsure re: specific squares.

Character Info

Nokve: Omnivorous, otter-like, bipedal, amphibian, long-tailed creatures who reside in the caves along the winding cliffside shores of the delta. They are somewhat dangerous if encountered in person, but they rarely leave their own habitats, despite the tales the Kurnish children tell. They are about the size of a large dog. With canid-like teeth and a short snout, they typically eat fish, shellfish, and whatever else they can find among the sea-caves beneath Groznid's heights. They sometimes forage near the mouth of the caves but rarely beyond it.

Encounter 7: Round 1

Alerin moves into the dark passageway, finding herself cornered by a pair of nokve who snap at her heels. Another of them screeches at the sight of Vaughn's spectral bat, and it rushes forward — however, the young arcanist surges to action, using his bat creature's sudden disappearance to disorient their assailant. The nokve instead slams head-first into the stalagmite with a sickening crunch, then hangs gravely limp.

Divine Challenge/Sanction: While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn’t include you as a target. Also, it takes radiant damage equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier (+5) the first time it makes an attack that doesn’t include you as a target before the start of your next turn. The damage increases to 6 + your Charisma modifier (+5) at 11th level, and to 9 + your Charisma modifier (+5) at 21st level. On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target. To engage the target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn, the marked condition ends and you can’t use divine challenge on your next turn.

Encounter 7: Round 1

The two swordsmen advance and easily dispatch one of the creatures threatening Alierin, though one more scampers up to take its place and rakes her. There is a great bellow, the source of which appears from the other side of the rock formations. A huge nokve, easily the size of a wolf, lumbers forward at Sisera. It is joined by another smaller of the creatures, and together they bear down on her with gnashing, razor teeth as they tear into her leg and arm.

"Duck, Sisera!" calls Cymril as she moves to the Quellamese woman's aid. The younger elf swings her walking staff in a cleaving arc, missing the major, but catching the minor square in the jaw. It loosens its grip on Sisera and slips to the wet floor with a screech.

Go: Sisera

Mechanics

Aeron: moves, hits and bloodies, marks

Dessarius: moves, hits and kills and gains THP.

Nokve 18: moves and charges Alierin, 25 vs AC = hit for 11 damage, bloodying her.

Nokve 15: moves, charges Sisera, 28 vs AC = hit for 13 damage, bloodying her.

Cymril: moves, uses Call Forth the Spirit Pack against Nokve Berserker 1 and Nokve 15, 9 vs Reflex = miss, 22 vs Reflex = hit. Nokve 15 takes 8 damage and is knocked prone.

Sisera shouts as she is bitten twice by the odd creatures. They are so vicious, we must get rid of the big one.

Encounter 7: Round 2

Sisera's arrow strikes true as she breaks free from the tussle. Another bellow emanates from further in the cavern, preceded by the lumbering steps of another massive nokve. It charges at the now-surrounded Alierin, though even injured, she is able to dance past its reach.

Go: Alierin, Vaughn

Mechanics

Sisera: shifts, heals, hits and piñatas.

Nokve Berserker 2: moves, charges Alierin, misses 13 vs AC.

Map Info

Cave Wall: If the wall takes up more than half of a square, squeezing is required to be in that square. Squares with only a tiny amount of open space are impassible. Ping me if unsure re: specific squares.

Character Info

Nokve: Omnivorous, otter-like, bipedal, amphibian, long-tailed creatures who reside in the caves along the winding cliffside shores of the delta. They are somewhat dangerous if encountered in person, but they rarely leave their own habitats, despite the tales the Kurnish children tell. They are about the size of a large dog. With canid-like teeth and a short snout, they typically eat fish, shellfish, and whatever else they can find among the sea-caves beneath Groznid's heights. They sometimes forage near the mouth of the caves but rarely beyond it.

Standard action: use Ironbreaker Claws vs. Nokve 17 [1d20+10]=13+10=23 vs will for [1d10+6]=10+6=16 damage and on hit Alierin can make a MBA with advantage and an additional +4 bonus to the attack roll vs. Nokve 17 as a free action

Reaction

Alierin takes advantage of Vaughn's positioning and finishes off one of the Nokve. Still mostly surrounded, she darts through an opening, striking one of the raging creatures on her way - dazing it in the process. Slipping past the creatures, she makes her way around a corner in the tunnels, hoping they would have lost track of her in the dark.

Mechanics

Free: MBA against Nokve 17

26 vs AC = hit for 19 damage.

Standard: Dazing Strike on Nokve Beserker 2

25 vs AC = hit for 8 damage and the target is dazed until my EONT.

[1d20+12]=13+12=25[1d4+6]=2+6=8

Move: Skulking Spy, shift to AK 22, stealth check to become hidden (assuming going around the corner provides cover/concealment) = 21

[1d20+11]=10+11=21

Action Point -> Standard: Second Wind, spend a surge and regain 8 HP and gain +2 to defenses until SONT.

[FinalTemplar]

Dessarius watches as Alierin nimbly moves through the nokve, disposing of one before running to safety. Hoping to give her time to get away he quickly moves in, raising his shield and going on the offensive. "Forth I run, may my blade strike true!" He says, quickly spins, and adjusts his weight as he brings his sword up and slashes down at the albino nokve, performing two swift follow-up swings slicing back up and then pulling back into a deep stab, impaling it upon his blade for a moment. As the first one goes limp, he shifts on his heel to look back at the remaining nokve. "Bring it on." He utters, flourishing his bloodied blade as he feels his strength coursing through him.

Also, it takes radiant damage equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier (+5) the first time it makes an attack that doesn’t include you as a target before the start of your next turn. The damage increases to 6 + your Charisma modifier (+5) at 11th level, and to 9 + your Charisma modifier (+5) at 21st level. On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target. To engage the target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn, the marked condition ends and you can’t use divine challenge on your next turn.

Encounter 7: Round 2

With the help of Vaughn's spectral bat, Alierin cuts her way through her assailants and finds cover deeper into the dark depths.

Dessarius dispatches one nokve with a flurry of his sword, though the remaining nokve clamps down hard on his leg.

Aeron strides into the fray past his cousin and the Quellamborn, but is set upon by the two nokve. Their razor teeth pierce the gaps in his armor as Cymril growls brusquely at them.

Go: Sisera, Cymril

Vaughn: moves, moves SC, hits and bloodies (3 resisted), grants attack...

Alerin: takes free attack, hits and killed (3 resisted), hits and dazes, shifts and becomes hidden, second winds.

Dessarius: buffs, loses 3 THP, moves and procs Nokve Berserker 1 OA, 21 vs AC = hit for 14 damage, hits 2x and kills.

Aeron: moves, marks, crit misses.

"You are stronger than it," Sisera shouts to Aeron, as she backs away and launches an arrow towards the larger nokve that has been plaguing them. Her shot leaves an opening for her ally to get in a follow-up attack of his own.

Encounter 7: Round 3

Sisera catches the massive nokve off-guard, and leaves a window for Aeron to sink his blade into its shoulder. It lets out a deep bellow, a mixture of pain and anger.

Cymril goes for a swing of her staff, but the newfound hostility in the creature's demeanor causes her to hesitate.

Go: Alierin, Vaughn, Dessarius, Aeron

Mechanics

Sisera: hits, grants attack on Berserker 1, Aeron hits 27 vs AC for 15 damage (enraging it), shifts, heals Aeron for 11, unbloodying him.
