dwarven ghouls, whom were victims of an elven banshee known as Vlydara. With
the flaming sphere still active for another 3 rounds (18 seconds) it is moved
up the stairwell as another ghoul is coming down. Initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 begins: Farren fires his short bow at Ghoul #10, who is up in the
fireplace chimney, dealing 6 piercing damage! Dia, fires a Ray of Frost at Ghoul #10, dealing 9 cold damage! Marcuria, pounds Ghoul #10 for 11 damage with the warhammer! Avery, fires a walloping bolt with the hand crossbow, hitting
Ghoul #10 for 3 damage but he makes his strength saving throw rolling a 17
needing ≤ 10 and does not come tumbling out! Roqar, just stays back, taunting a Ghoul to run through the
flaming sphere’s flames! Rolo, fires a fire bolt spell at Ghoul #10, dealing 11 fire
damage and causing him to tumble out of the chimney, defeated! Feralda, casts a fire bolt spell at Ghoul #08, hitting for 7
fire damage and defeating him! Ghoul #09, is climbing up to get out of the chimney now. Juan, fires a light crossbow bolt up the chimney, hitting Ghoul
#09 for 4 damage! Combat Round #02: Farren, fires his long bow at Ghoul #09, hitting for 7 piercing
damage! Dia, continues to move the flaming sphere up to the top of the
stairs now. Marcuria, Avery and Roqar, follow up the stairs stay out of the
flaming sphere’s reach. Rolo, fires a Fire Bolt spell, hitting for 9 fire damage to
Ghoul #09! Feralda, fires a Fire Bolt spell, hitting Ghoul #09 for 7 fire
damage, sending him tumbling out of the chimney defeated! End of Combat! The dwarven ghoul bodies are searched and only the castellan
yields a find of a gold signet ring that bears the Axeholm crest, a handaxe
clutched in a dwarven gauntlet, worth 5 gold pieces. Juan, looks in the west guard post room. And there are 2
ballistae facing east into the inner gauntlet and the gnawed bones, torn armor fragments,
and rusty battleaxes of two dead dwarf guards lie in the middle of the room.
Nothing of value is found upon them. Dia casts the Leomond’s Tiny Hut spell to create a 10 ft radius
half sphere dome around the party so
that they have some protection while resting. Nothing comes around to interrupt
the rest. Juan, casts the Create Food and Water spell to create 45 pounds
of food and 30 gallons of water for the party after resting. Dia, casts the Mage Armor spell upon herself raising her armor
class to 13+3=16. Rolo des the same raising his armor class to 16 as well. Juan has a look in the east guard post room off the north side
of the throne room to see 2 ballistae in the room pointing west towards two
arrow slits into the inner gauntlet. The north double doors to the throne room are unbarred and
opened into the inner gauntlet. Then the next set of double doors to the north
is unbarred and opens into the munstering hall. The party heads back upstairs in the stair well to the east of
the throne room and enters the first door on the west side of the hall, into
the room where the ghouls climbed down the chimney from. In the middle of this room stands a
carved stone tub filled with gnawed dwarven bones. The tub is equipped with a
faucet. A stone plug seals the drain in the tub’s bottom. Roqar says, "I still have my cast iron
tub at home, just awhile longer before we can take a long soak". Marcuria says, "By myself, Roqar. I want to
actually feel clean afterwards”. Roqar shrugs and says, “Have it your way, I just think my way is
more fun". There is a hole in the east wall just south of the east door,
which looks like it was dug out by the ghouls and likely how they got into the
chimney of the fireplace in the throne room. Marcuria opens the north door of the bathing room into an eight
feet long hallway, a single door on it’s west end and turning south on its east
end. A ghostly form emerges in the hallway now! The
luminous, wispy form of a female elf floats in the dusty hallway before you,
its face wreathed in a tangle of gossamer hair, its body clad in spectral rags
that flutter around it. The apparition’s face becomes a mask of rage as it
screams, “Get out of my house!” Marcuria says, "...Great. Another one of
these. Sorry, but there's a lot of lives depending on us. Can't walk away now”. Roqar says, “We really don’t wanna leave”. This then causes Vlydara the elf maiden banshee, to alter her
appearance into a horrifying visage in the hope that she can frighten the party
away. It works on Avery and Roqar and they run off. Initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 begins: Avery, is running away. Dia, tries her Tasha’s Hideous Laughter spell on the banshee and
Vlydara rolls a 2 needing ≥ 15 on her wisdom saving throw and the spell takes
effect, causing her to burst out in uncontrollable laughter! Marcuria, stays back. Roqar, is running away. Juan, runs over to Vlydara, swinging his macially glowing +1
Lightbringer mace but missed her! Vlydara gets to make a wisdom saving throw against the
uncontrolled laughing due to the attack, rolling a 5 and failing! Farren, through a divine gift from his deity, even though he is
not yet ready in his training, is able to punch Vlydara’s ghostly form for 9
damage! Vlydara rolls a 3 on her wisdom save against the laught spell, failing! Rolo, casts the fire bolt cantrip, striking Vlydara for 9
damage! This time Vlydara rolls a 19 on the wisdom save against the laughing
spell and shakes off its effects! Feralda, hurries after Avery trying to grab her but rolls a 0 on
a strength check! 2 nd Attacks for Round #01: Farren, again pounds his fist (unarmed strike) into Vlydara’s
ghostly form, causing 10 damage! [You do your first
attacks during the initial part of the round then go back through the turn
order in order of attack again to do your 2 nd attack or bonus
action. This repeats until all players’ attacks and bonus moves are done, then
the current round is over and we move to the next round.] Combat Round #02: Avery, continues to be frightened by the banhee, rolling a 9 on
the wisdom saving throw and continues to run away! Dia, goes after Roqar and tries to grab her, rolling a 10
needing ≥ 19 and fails! Vlydara the banshee, now lets out a mournful wail, which could
drop a victim to 0 hit points! Farren, Juan and Marcuria all make their
constitution saving throw and are not affected!
Marcuria, uses her rage ability now and uses form of the beast
to grow a tail, which hits for 2 rage +
7 damage!
