Roqar calls out to Prayn and the others to come over to his side as she breaks a window in order to climb inside.   Room Description: The room here is frigid; so much so that your breath shows and your bones ache. This appears to be a chapel that now lies in ruins; on the left wall, the symbol of Lliira; a triangle of three six pointed stars. In the center, and the largest symbol, Helm, the god of protection, with a staring eye on an upright left gauntlet. Finally on the right, the symbol of Mielikki the goddess of forests symbolized in a painting of a unicorn’s head. All of the paintings have been purposely and violently scratched out. The entire chapel is in a state of disarray with the pews knocked over or broken. At the center of the chapel sits a once glorious chair, now broken and shattered. A splint mail armored figure sits on the throne and stands as you enter the room, drawing his sword immediately. Prayn says, “ "Cold in here ain't i-oh my archfiend! it's moving!" Sir Taris says, "Who Dares to enter my home uninvited?!"   Prayn says, "Sorry! Sorry, bout that. Place looked abandoned, you must've been sleeping. This is really rude of us, oh my god. Should we leave? " Roqar says, "Lord Taris, Forgive us, We thought you long dead."

Sir Taris says, "Yes, Leave my family and I alone, we have suffered enough!", "Dead I am, Yes, but a curse I have bestowed that leaves my family and I stuck here." Roqar says, “Damn its cold, my nips are hard.” Prayn says, “Sorry again, umm...here  rolls a lime towards him . It's an offering." Roqar says, "What is the curse? You deserve to rest in peace" Sir Taris says, "What be this? (Pokes lime with sword)? Do I look like I need food?!" “In my desire to see my family again, I swore off fealty to the god I worshipped and made a deal with a demon.” He approaches you a bit, with sword at the ready, like he's waiting for you to do an about face and leave. Prayn says, “Woah woah, wait, I have a question. Do you know anything about a guy named Taris?" Roqar says, “Damn cold, lets leave this cold". Sir Taris says, “I…am…Taris!” Prayn says, “Oh! Oh wow! Hello then! In that case you know about how awful dragons can be right?" Sir Taris (Now a Revenant), moves in closer, like he is trying to heard Prayn and Roqar back out through the window they came in. They both slowly step back while talking. Sir Taris, uses his Vengeful Glare on the both of them! With a Difficulty Challenge of 12 on a Wisdom Save, Prayn rolls a 12 and Roqar a 12. Both are successful so they just get a bit freaked out from the way Sir Taris glares at them! Prayn says, "I try to make friends and they always so angry". Prayn is now next to the window, waiting on Roqar’s next move, not about to leave her alone, but kind of nudging to get out of the revenant’s lair! Roqar, ”If he was going to lop our heads off he would have already, he needs help, Damn (Shivers)". Prayn says, "Some people hesitate; but, sure I'll trust your words". Sir Taris starts to get impatient of the both of them and suddenly lets out a burst of menacing emotions, like he’s growling and hulking out on you! He is using his Dreadful Aspect so both need to roll a Wisdom saving throw with a Difficulty Challenge of 13. Prayn rolls a 20 while Roqar rolls an 11! Roqar is frighted and attempts to run away, out through the window. Prayn is just freaked out a bit and immediately follows Roqar out the window while saying to Sir Taris, "Use the lime seeds for a pretty treeeeeee!  hops out window ". Sir Taris looks out the window after them saying, “Now Be gone Fools! Leave my family alone!" Roqar says, “He needs our help, he’s cursed we need to lift the curse, but damn it’s cold in there". Prayn says, “How about we go through the front? With everyone? Might be able to loot and fight easier that way" Prayn, prestidigitates some fire and holds it up to Roqar for warmth.     Adventure Time is now May 17 th , at 4:30 pm.   And this ends the gaming session for the day, until next time!   The Adventurers Earned: Neverwinter Woods Campsite: Cragmaw Goblins (6) = 300 XP   Neverwinter Woods rock outcropping: Grick = 450 XP   ------- Grand Total: 750 XP 750 / 7 = 107.14 XP Each Everyone is at 1,895.73 + 107.14 = 2,002.87 XP  Level 4 reached at 2,700 XP   Loot Found: Scimitars (5) and shields (5) with Cragmaw emblems upon them and Short bows (5) with quivers of 20 arrows each.   Number of Sessions for current Adventure Module: 30th Session for “Lost Mines of Phandelver / Dragon of Icespire Peak” 07/11/2020 [1st Session start was 10/26/2019]
