dragon (Cryovain), the townfolks of Phandalin, moved into the dwarven fortress
of Axeholm. Two members of the party had climbed up, the mountainside and down
the chimney to go crank open the big main gate and let everyone inside, after
the dragons are harvested for their body parts. Juan, goes back to the fireplace that had dwarven
handprints on it’s back wall and examines it closer to find that there is a
secret door and it is opened to find: Against the south wall of this otherwise
empty room rests a 80-pound iron chest with clawed feet. There is a tiny
circular indentation in the middle of the chest where a lock would normally be,
which has the symbol of a handaxe clutched like a gauntlet. The symbol is
similar to the raised one on the ring found on Axeholm’s former castellan. Roqar, gets to work with her thieves tools and
successfully opens the lock on the chest, having rolled a 21! The contents of the chest were: A helm and a pair of
gauntlets, which are similar to the ones Roqar herself is wearing! Juan, casts the Detect Magic spell and sees that both
the helm and gauntlets emanate magical auras! Marcuria, risks trying on the helm and even though she
doesn’t notice any affect upon her, the others tell her, her eyes have a bright
red glow! The gauntlets are given to Thyus, since it is expected
they will raise his strength from 11 to 19! Avery, rolling a 16 on a persuasion check, convinces
Marcuria, to take off the helm for now. Marcuria, talks to Harbin Wester the townmaster,
reassuring him that both dragons are dead and that the dragon parts will be
sold in Neverwinter city where mages and alchemist will gladly pay them. The
adventures will get a cut, so that they can continue to maintain their supplies
for their excursions. Harbin, wants the adventurers to head back into the
hills of Wyvern Tor, to double-check on the presence of any more orcs from the
Many Arrows tribe, lurking around since they are raiding again for food and
supplies, and offers the same pay as before. Avery and Roqar, believe that a hag may be behind the
nightmares some of the towns folks have been experiencing on the nights that
the orcs would raid Phandalin. No one had nightmares while inside Axeholm, overnight. The trip to the mountain area of Wyvern Tor is a 75
mile one and midway into the trip, they encounter a band of orcs, who after a
brief exchange of words, engages the party in combat! Initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 begins: Thyus, stabs Orc #01 with the spear for 5 damage! Rolo, casts the Fireball spell on the Orcs dealing 29
total damage or 15 if they make the dexterity save! Only two orcs make the save
but it still kills them and the rest! Nothing of value is found upon them. Finally, on the fifth day of travel they reach the
Wyvern Tor area and begin probing around including looking in the former cave
that was cleared out of orcs and a ogre, which was still empty. While climbing a rocky ridge on the lower slope of the
hill, you pick up the faint smell of smoke. A hundred feet from you is a cave
at the bottom of a ravine. Leaning against boulders, just outside the entrance
of a cave, are two orc guards. The opening of this cave is seen to be big enough that
two wagons could easily fit inside. A couple of campfires can be seen just
inside the entrance cooking food. Dia, casts the longstrider spell upon Marcuria, so
that she has 10 extra feet of speed to her movement. Juan fires his light crossbow at Orc #02 and missed! Dia, casts a Ray of frost at Orc #02 and hits for 12
cold damage! Avery, fires her hand crossbow and hits Orc #02 with a
walloping bolt for 4 damage, but does knock him over, due to a strength saving
throw of 19, defeating the Orc! Rolo, casts a Fire Bolt at Orc #01, but it missed! The Orcs shout an alarm to the others inside the cave
in Orcish, of which only Juan would understand. Initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 beings: Avery, casts Heroism upon Marcuria, imbuing her with
bravery and giving her +4 temporary hit points for 1 minute! Rolo, casts the Fire Bolt at Orc #01, and missed
again! Orc #04, tossed a javelin, missing Thyus! Dia, casts the Ray of Frost at Orc #01, hitting for 12
cold damage and defeating him! Orc #03, tossed a javelin at Thyus, hitting him for 6
damage! Roqar, just moves up. Marcuria, engages her Rage ability and creates a tail! Thyus, spears Orc #03 for 7 piercing damge! Juan, fires the light crossbow, hitting Orc #04 for 6
piercing damage! 2 nd Attacks for Round #01: Marcuria, tail whips Orc #03, for 14 bludgeoning
damage, defeating him! Thyus, Hexblade curses an Orc! Juan, fires the light crossbow, hitting Orc #04 for 6
piercing damage! Combat Round #02: Avery, casts the Vicious Mockery spell upon Orc #04,
who fails his wisdom saving throw rolling a 9 needing ≥ 15 and takes 6 psychic
damage, defeating the Orc! Rolo, fires off a Fire bolt at Orc #05, and missed due to the cover of the wooden
palisade gate! Orc #06, who is also behind the wooden palisade gate,
tossed a javelin at Marcuria and missed! Dia, casts the Flaming sphere, right down upon Orc #05
and #06! Orc #05 takes 5 damage, rolling 15 and Orc #06 takes the full 10 fire
damage, failing his dexterity saving throw of 12 needing ≥ 15! Roqar, continues to move about without engaging. Marcuria, decides to leap right into the action taking
only 1 hit point of damage from the Flaming Sphere, as the 4 temporary ones are
used up! (She made the dexterity saving throw with advantage rolling a 22. Thyus, moves to get into a better position. Orc #05, tries to move away from the Flaming sphere,
giving Marcuria an opportunity attack with her warhammer (2-handed) and hits
for 8 bludgeoning damage! Juan, just dashes into a better position. Combat Round #03: A large Cyclops enters the Cavern entrance from the
north east passage, saying in Orcish, “What is all the yapping about! Oh! I see
we got Company”! Avery says, “You stinky”! Avery, casts Vicious Mockery upon Unojo the Cyclops,
who fails his wisdom save rolling a 7 needing ≥ 15 and takes 3 psychic damage!
Rolo, fires a Fire Bolt at Unojo the Cyclops, hitting
for 13 fire damage!
