Dungeon Master (GM): Hi Folks!   Kaiser Starlocke: Hi   Zerlan: Hello   Roqar: Hi   Dungeon Master (GM): We can get started, as you see the handout with everything the party knows so far.   Zerlan: Sure lets get into it. Did we finish a long rest last time?   Roqar: Think we ended with hanging out in the orchard eating apples and chatting :)   Ravoprax Elmash: I guess we came back to the inn after that   Dungeon Master (GM): yea, where do you want to go from there? i gathered all the tokens back at the inn   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "So what now?"   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "well we have the red cloaks to disguise ourselves now"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Go back to the Sleeping giant and ambush more redbrands?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Raises both hands "Anywhere but the Banshee"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "We will eventually go to the banshee Roqar"   Dungeon Master (GM): it's about 2pm game time   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "The Sister has helped us out more than one time"   Kaiser Starlocke: while we're resting here i'm going to cast mending and prestigitation on the red cloaks we collected to mend any damage we caused and clean them   Ravoprax Elmash: so we are getting a long rest?   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Kaiser [Note: Let’s just say it was a brief 1-2 hour rest, discussing what to do next over lunch]   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "i'm good to go, how are you guys?"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "How much gold did we get from the other guys?"   Dungeon Master (GM): 9 gold 19 silvers and 50 coppers   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Should we scout out the rest of the cave?"   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "sounds good"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Roqar?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "How about ambushing more redbrands? I'd like to take care of one of these problems before going on to another."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Sure we could stake out the sleeping giant"   Toblen Stonehill the Says: "If you guys are hitting the Triboar trail, watch out for goblins as well as the Orcs. There was a trap someone set on the trail with the body of a dead gnome cleric found inside of it, along with two dead horses to either side of the road, about 5 weeks ago."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Which way is the Triboar trail"   Toblen Stonehill: [Don't forget you can go back to the redbrand hideout as well]. Toblen Stonehill the Says: "I should point out that the trap was found to the west side of the trail near the north road back up to Neverwinter."   Ravoprax Elmash: Maybe we can ambush some of the redbrands and take one of them as a prisoner   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Lets go check the hideout, then stake out the bar"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Sure."   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "lets go"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Puts on the cloak and pulls up the hood   Roqar the Elf Rogue Puts on a red cloak   Dungeon Master (GM): There are 5 cloaks so one party member will not have one to wear, so whom will that be?   Ravoprax Elmash: are there more that 5 of us?   Dungeon Master (GM): 6 in the party   Roqar: Someone not here today they can say they lost it and came to get another   Ravoprax Elmash: Ravo, Kaise, Roqar, Willie and Flint right?   Kaiser Starlocke: welfest too   Ravoprax Elmash: ah right Can Flint share a cloak with another?   Dungeon Master (GM): looking for Welfest token you mean like hide behind someone under the cloak?! :)   Ravoprax Elmash: Yeah.

Ravoprax Elmash: I'll try to hide flint under my cloak Clones!   Roqar: Execute Order 66!!   Dungeon Master (GM): ha ha! I haven't seen RoS yet, kind of dreading to. ok, as you enter the main part of the cave, a familiar voice calls out to you all.   Roqar: Let me know spoilers Like Who dies and Who Reys Parents are :)   Nothic Says: "Well, Well, what have we here? Our guests have returned I see."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Yes we have and we brought a gift" Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Gives him the ribs   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey Gollum Care for some more balls or shinys?"   Nothic: all i know is Palp says she's the (great?) granddaughter and she calls herself a skywalker thus the mis-leading title of the movie.   Nothic Comes out from behind the big pillar. Nothic Says: "Oh yummy a rack of ribs, you bring! For me is it?"   Ravoprax Elmash: Is he chained to something?   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "You promise to let us go if we give you this?"   Dungeon Master (GM): You do not see a chain or any other sort of restraint on him.   Kaiser Starlocke: is there anything at the bottom of this crag?   Nothic Says: "Oh sure, if you promise to be good guest this time. I was told you destroyed the skeletons."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Told by whom?"   Dungeon Master (GM): from your vantage point it's just a rocky and dirt bottom to the crag, it's about a 6 ft hop down into it, if you go.   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "so where now? this is my first time in here"   Nothic Says: "Oh, the Redbrands, of course. They Mad because I let you in."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "How many are there?"   Welfest the Tiefling Wizard Says: "To the left down that passage?"   Nothic: (To GM)rolling  12 = 12   Nothic: (To GM)rolling  6 = 6   Nothic: that is the way you came in or you mean the left passage with the stairs?   Roqar: Stairs   Nothic: (To GM)rolling  5   14   13   3 = 5   Nothic Says: "Hmm, so you be looking for the Redbrands?"   Roqar: Lots to explore here we could cross the bridge, explore that side get down into the gulch follow that or go north east west   Ravoprax Elmash: I'm down for anything   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Yes we are."   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "shall we clear the gulch while we're here?"   Nothic Says: "As you wish, but if i sense trouble I must come."   Welfest the Tiefling Wizard Says: "Which way do the redbrands usually go?"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Why is that? Why are you helping them?"   Nothic Says: "They treat me well, is that good enough?"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Don't you want to go outside?"   Nothic Says: "Now why would I want to do that?"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Good point"   Welfest the Tiefling Wizard Says: "Whatever, anyways, Which way do the redbrands go when they come here?"   Nothic Says: "They roam this whole place as do the bugbears."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "That does not sound good"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Lets go down the stairs, take care of whatevers there"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Sneaky ones first"

Roqar: 5     20 STEALTH  (2) Roqar How about not so sneaky   Dungeon Master (GM): ha ha   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "lets act like we're new recruits or something"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Roqar sees two doors to try now.   Roqar: 19     19 PERCEPTION  (0) Roqar checking for traps   Dungeon Master (GM): no trap on the south door. do any of you speak bugbear?   Roqar: No I speak Short sword instead   Ravoprax Elmash: No   Roqar: 5     20 PERCEPTION  (0) Roqar No traps either hehe so which door?   Dungeon Master (GM): checking sheets for something ok, actually willie and Kaiser hear, something in goblin coming from the south door, but no one can make out another language also being used. So in goblin you hear, " Lick the Floor, Droop you old poop." and "Roll like a dog and let Mosk rub your tummy, He he he."   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "sounds like someones having a great time"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Do we interrupt their fun?"   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "yeah, lets try and get some information out of them"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "We will need to do it quietly"   Dungeon Master (GM): remember you have the red cloaks on.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Opens the south door   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, you see 3 bugbears in here with 1 goblin whom is on the floor., They all look you way in the direction of the opened door. can you all see inside the room?   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey, We are new here"   Dungeon Master (GM): This barracks contains four roughly built wooden bunks, with heaped-up blankets and dirty dishes scattered about. A strong smell of unwashed bodies and rotten meat fills the air. Three tall, furry humanoids are lounging among the mess, barking orders at a sad little goblin that demeans itself for their amusement. Your sudden appearance causes the goblin to faint.   Ravoprax Elmash: Yes we can see inside   Dungeon Master (GM): ok (To GM)rolling  8 = 8   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, is anything being said, or are you all just rushing right in to attack right away?   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "What the heck is going on in here!"   Mosk -RBH09 the Dude Says: "What's it matter to you redbrands, can't you see we're playing with our little puppy?" Mosk -RBH09 the Dude Says: "What is it you want? "   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "where is everyone? We're new and need to report in"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Any other rooms or doors beyond this room?   Ravoprax Elmash: Can we try and trick them into going outside? Tell them that the guys at the sleepy giant were attacked   Roqar: I dont think they will care   Mosk -RBH09 the Dude Says: "There are a bunch of you just to the north, go see them."   Ravoprax Elmash: So we can leave?   Roqar: Yeah Leave them   Ravoprax Elmash: sure   Mosk -RBH09 the Dude Says: "Yes, please leave us alone to our little amusement."   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Whatever. Keep it down alright?"

Mosk -RBH09 the Dude Says: "Who are you to bark orders?"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "The boss is really mad right now and we don't want to set him off"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "He does that to everyone just have your fun"   Mosk -RBH09 the Dude Says: "Now, be gone, or your lives will be gone."   Kaiser the Elf Wizard Says: "that was weird"   Roqar: Open the North door   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok as you walk in, you see one of them toss knucklebones onto the table. Several worn tables and chairs are scattered around this large room. Wooden benches are drawn up against walls decorated with draperies of brown and red, and several ale kegs are propped up and tapped. Four tough-looking human warriors wearing scarlet cloaks are gathered around one of the tables. A stack of coins and trinkets is heaped upon the tabletop between them.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey Is it too late for me to get in on this? "   Dungeon Master (GM): several tables? i only see 1 on the map, hmmm   Ravoprax Elmash: I see a door too   Dungeon Master (GM): yes there is a north door   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Gets a drink from one of the kegs   Flint the Dwarf Fighter We block the door have a talk with these guys   Ruffian #04 -RBH10 the Redbrand Says: "Who the hell are you clowns?

I heard a bunch of guys are coming into town. Might want to check that out" can I try and persuade them to send someone to go and check it out?   Ruffian #04 -RBH10 the Redbrand Says: "Hey, Al, tell the boss we have us some new recruits." you can try of course   Ravoprax Elmash: 9     12 PERSUASION  (4) Ravoprax Elmash Welp   Dungeon Master (GM): you needed 14 or more   Roqar: 16     7 DECEPTION  (3) Roqar Roll the bones   Dungeon Master (GM): heh, not sure how to play knucklebones! anyways the one ruffian to the north gets up and heads out the north door.   Roqar: m aybe just roll 2d6 like craps   Dungeon Master (GM): hmm, yea ok   Roqar: rolling 2d6( 6 +2 ) = 8   Dungeon Master (GM): I guess the others roll to try and beat that? 8   10   7 the ruffian to the south rolled the 10 so i guess he won the other ruffian who left comes back   Ruffian #01 -RBH10 the Redbrand Says: "The boss will be here shortly to see you all."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Is the boss coming to see us or should we go see him?"   Ruffian #01 -RBH10 the Redbrand Says: "he will come here." in the now opened doorway a fellow appears, holding a staff that appears to be made of glass. to of the redbrands get up and move to either side of the door   Glasstaff the Boss Says: "Greetings, I hear we have us some new recruits?

You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. sensory effects   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so it can be done so it's more of a faint soft sound, not something like the roar of a wyvern   Ravoprax Elmash: maybe like a whistle?   Kaiser Starlocke: yeah just trying to get them to look the other way briefly   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, i'll roll on that to see if they look away   (To GM): Wisdom Redbrand Ruffian Ability:  17  |  10   (To GM): Wisdom Redbrand Ruffian Ability:  0  |  8   (To GM): Wisdom Redbrand Ruffian Ability:  13  |  10   (To GM): Wisdom Redbrand Ruffian Ability:  3  |  0   (To GM): Wisdom Redbrand Ruffian Ability:  5  |  15   Dungeon Master (GM): 2 of them look away towards where the sound was aimed the others keep an eye on the group the two on the right looked away   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Sneak attack!"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok make init rolls here   Kaiser, the Elf Wizard, gets ready to make an attack move!

Your blue draconic ancestry means this exhalation is a 5 by 30 ft. line dealing lightning damage. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can't use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

"   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "sounds like a plan"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok see, these villians/monsters are on their own separate sheets so they should have individual separate init rolls going into the turn order, instead sometimes they all go into the same one. thus i forgot to make the one ruffian's attack but did the other. the designers basically have it set where several monsters use the same sheet, confusing things. they do that because it takes up less computer memory. ok, like the previous redbrands you encountered they have studded leather, cloaks, and a short sword with a pouch of coins Copper:  36 Electrum:  23   Dungeon Master (GM): Gold:  17   Roqar: Roqar the Elf Rogue Grabs Flint by the shoulder "You might get roughed up a bit"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok that's what they had on them ok what does the party do now?   Roqar: Head back to the cave   Kaiser Starlocke: looks like we're taking the bodies back and claiming flint is one of the enemy we captured   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, does the rest of you like that plan?   Ravoprax Elmash: do we need the bodies? yes   Kaiser Starlocke: makes us more convincing   Roqar: Yes maybe just the cloaks?   Ravoprax Elmash: might set off the bug bears or nothic   Kaiser Starlocke: they might not like us leaving allies to rot   Dungeon Master (GM): don't forget the nothic reads your minds   Kaiser Starlocke: oh crap   Roqar: Hm How about Give Flint a red cloak and surprise them all?   Kaiser Starlocke: sounds good   Ravoprax Elmash: sure   Kaiser Starlocke: is the nothic pretty strong? can we kill it?   Dungeon Master (GM): only one way to find out of course   Roqar: No idea just have to play it out Burn the bodies later hehe   Ravoprax Elmash: The orchard needs more bodies   Roqar: Good fertilizier   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so we are going back to the hideout with the bodies?   Roqar: No leave the bodies   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so just their cloaks then?   Roqar: Give Everyone a cloak take the extras   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Roqar: Lets go for the glass staff   Kaiser Starlocke: back through the corridor we last saw glass staff?   Roqar: yep   Dungeon Master (GM): Nothic the Says: "I see you are back so soon?"   Kaiser Starlocke: Kaiser the Elf Wizard ignores the nothic and walks past   Dungeon Master (GM): ok (To GM)rolling  8 = 8   Kaiser Starlocke: what race is glass staff again?   Dungeon Master (GM): ok he appears to be either half elf or elf to you his sheet doesn't even say...going by picture   Roqar: Yeah Lazy writing   Ravoprax Elmash: So we call out to glass staff?   Dungeon Master (GM): also there is actually two different pictures of glasstaff but i'll guess that other picture with his name is the other character that shares his info   Roqar: Hehe Next room DM   Dungeon Master (GM): you can call out of course   Ravoprax Elmash: Bring him out and ambush?   Kaiser Starlocke: yeah if he comes, could i try and cast charm on him?   Dungeon Master (GM): yes   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "Boss you need to see this!"   Dungeon Master (GM): so you call out for Glasstaff but there is no verbal response back, nor does he appear at the door.   Ravoprax Elmash: We go in?   Roqar: Traps up Lets go ready for a fight   Kaiser Starlocke: on we go   Ravoprax Elmash: Is the door unlocked?   Dungeon Master (GM): so you open the door across the hall?
