Roqar had poked the twig fire on the mantelpiece that resembled her, seven
others also looked like the rest of the party. Roqar did not feel the poke,
thinking it would be a voodoo doll. Instead the figure comes to life
and attacks her after hopping off the mantelpiece! Roqar exclaiming, “Bad
Magic!” Initiative rolls are made and
Combat Round #01 Begins! [Note due to the length of the
session (49 pages in MS Word for the full story chapter. I will only show Hits
made that defeat the opponent during Combat!] Yuuki, Xar’Tharkas & Sildar
all moved up closer to engage in Melee. Dolores stays back a bit. Farren, pounds the Twig Blight
with his Fist (Unarmed Strike) for 10 bludgeoning damage, defeating the
creature, right away! Area description: The
walls are covered with crude drawings in blood that depict boars chasing
stick-figure humanoids. A fireplace dominates the south side of the room, and a
smashed wooden dining table lies in a heap in the eastern half of the room,
surrounded by six broken chairs. Outside the room is a busted
door on the south wall, leading out to a short stoop and into an enclosed
courtyard with a very big tree that is now crammed into the space with it’s
twisting branches. Previously, the party had
spotted a tarnished silver candelabrum here and it’s taken. Currently, Dolores casts the
Detect Magic spell, going about the dining room and only the twig figures glow
an aura of magic. She then moves out and looks at the tree in the courtyard
which also glows with an aura of magic. Nothing in the parlor radiates
magically. Dolores goes into the courtyard
now. Area Description: Stone
steps lead down to a flagstoned courtyard that has a pillared arcade to the
east. Seven windows on the upper level overlook the courtyard, in the middle of
which is a five-foot-wide stone well with thick vines erupting from it. Guttural
snorts and yells erupt from the southeast corner of the manse, signaling the
presence of orcs nearby, to Willie, who understands the Orcish language. Dolores steps back inside
wanting to have a look up the stairs, going only halfway and sees: It’s a hallway, lined with closed
doors and shuttered windows. Between them are hooks where decorations once
hung. Natural light enters through a hole in the roof at the east end of the
hall. The floor beneath the collapsed roof is strewn with debris. Dolores does not detect any
magical radiations in the upstairs hallway. Farren, takes a look inside the
well from which the tangled tree grows out of and sees the roots and vines
extend down into the darkness, his darvision enabling him to see the water
level some 30 feet below. The tree itself is a mal-formed column of twisted wood
with narrow gaps between it’s curling branches. Vines are growing throughout
the tree as well. To the south, Farren sees, two
closed doors to either side of the outside of a chimney. On the south west side
is a busted door, it’s pieces mostly laying inside the room it enters. As Farren enters through the
busted doors he hears an orcish grunt and then twig blights start attacking! With his darkvision this is what
he sees, as with most of the rooms on the first floor so far, the windows are
covered over in vines making it dark inside: Room Description: What used to be some sort of laboratory lies in
ruins, its furnishings broken and heaped against the walls. In the middle of
the room, painted on the floor with mud, is a ten-foot-wide symbol depicting
three lightning bolts joined at their tips. Round #01 of Combat beings! Willie, cuts down Twig Blight

Missile spell, has 1 of the 4 nail Twig Blight #02, for 4 force damage, defeating it! Farren, pounds Twig Blight #21
with his fist (Unarmed Strike) for 7 bludgeoning damage, defeating it! During the 2 nd round
of combat the twisted tree in the courtyard appears to starting moving. It is
in fact the vines that are coming down off the tree. It turns out these are 5
Vine Blights, that now also attack the party in addition to the 24 Twig
Blights! While the Twig Blights attack
with claws, the Vine Blights, use Entangling plants around then in a 15 ft
radius to trip up opponents and or Constrict their opponent. Round #02 of Combat! Willie, hits Twig Blight #24
with the short sword for 8 piercing damage, defeating it! Farren, hits Twig Blight #04
