Ch. 58: Mormesk the Wraith Takes on the Bugbears!

Sirus: Wew. Everyone except for Bahrren is here. Buddy appears to be online too, at least.   Roqar: Already to Die in Glorious Battle!! Nuq Neh :D   Dungeon Master (GM): Hello Folks!   Sirus: Welp, time for the big dungeon finale, I think.   Rolo: hi everyone   Roqar: Do we walk away Now orLater???   Sirus: I have posts ready as soon as the DM gives the signal Marcy needs to whisper a few things.   Dungeon Master (GM): Looks like we can get started here!   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Whispers to Roqar now that the fighting was over.   Says: "Roqar, I don't trust this. Not for a second. I think this was a mistake. We need an exit strategy. If you got any good ideas...."   Roqar: Turns off Sabbath Iron Man   Rolo: great song   Dungeon Master (GM): Here is the smelter room description again for you: A blast furnace and a mechanical bellows powered by a waterwheel dominate this large chamber. The furnace is cold and dark, but heaps of coal are piled nearby, along with carts full of unrefined ore. The waterwheel sits in a ten-foot-wide channel cut into the floor of the room, but the channel is dry. Passages exit to the west, south, and east. The empty channel exits to the north and east. More than a dozen withered corpses are scattered around the room. These slain dwarves and orcs are still wearing the remnants of their armor.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Whispers back "Been thinking about it for awhile already, like you said, I'm crazier then you are"   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Sure. Well, you got anything? Best I can think of so far is that we go through where that fungi was. But if they surround us, it's gonna be a problem."   Bugbear #01 -WEC11 the The Dude Says: "Thanks for your help, now we must find this spellforge." Says: "Let's go down this east passage."   Dia Xiloscient: (Maybe we can trap them in that room?)   Roqar: Roqar having no idea what to look for or where just shrugs and looks for the spellcasters   Bugbear #01 -WEC11 the The Dude Says: "Well, at least the dead in here are staying dead."   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "Yes. The Spellforge should be right inside this room here."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Sure, tell em everything, Avery...tch..."   Bugbear #01 -WEC11 the The Dude Says: "You have been here before?!"   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Well yeah, duh. Why do you think it's empty over here?"   Bugbear #01 -WEC11 the The Dude Says: "Alright. Whatever. you can open that door first."   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Shrugged and went over, opening the door to the room where the spellforge was.   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "So this brazier with the green flames is what we are looking for?"   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "Yes. That's right."   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "Ah, very good. I will report this to the boss. What is in the other building to the south?"   Dia the Elf Wizard Says: "Be careful about putting anything in it. It has destroyed a few items, and we're not yet sure how to use it correctly."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "There's something very dangerous in the other room..."   Dia Xiloscient: (Bluff to make sure they don't get +1 weapons right now)   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "I see, I will tell the boss about that."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "I'd suggest you leave it be."   Roqar: Roqar stays back expecting a fight soon   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok that bugbear left to go tell Nezznar of the spellforge   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Whispers quietly to Avery in the meanwhile.   Says: "Avery, what were you thinking with this? You gotta know that this whole situation smells. They got that kind of muscle, no reason for this whatever the hell he is and his minions not to stab us right in the backside."

Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "It's all perfectly logical for a deal. We get Nundro, he gets that spellforge."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Or he can choose to take the spellforge, AND our lives. Drow have a bad reputation for a reason, Avery."   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "What are you suggesting? That we go back on the deal, because we're afraid he'll betray us?"   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "No....we'll follow through for now. But the first chance we get, we grab Nundro and bolt. If you got anything that can buy us some breathing room, Avery..."   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "I can try."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian nods slightly and steps back, being a bit more wary of the Bugbears from here on out.   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "Boss, does not believe the spellforge will destroy weapons, wants me to test it."   Picks up a rusty weapon form one of the dead soldiers and places it in the flames, using a grip found on one of the tables.   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "It can work, but you can't  just  put it in. It's dangerous." Says: "It requires a bit of finesse."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Puts a hand on Marcy's shoulder "Have faith in Tymora blessing us, its the best outcome"   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "Pulls weapon out of the flames after a couple minutes. Says, "This is still in one piece."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Ugh. Not a good time to preach to me, Roqar.."   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "What is in the other building to the south?"   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "A dangerous and very hostile creature. Your weapons won't hurt him, I don't think."   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "Do you think this creature can be dealt with at all?"   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Honestly, I would just say....no. You don't go into his chambers, he doesn't devour your very soul."   Says: "It's a pretty simple arrangement."   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "I see. I will tell the boss about this and see what he wants." He goes and talks to Nezznar again then comes back a short time later.   Marcuria the Human Barbarian gets an idea and motions for Rolo to come over, while waiting for the bugbear to return.   Dia Xiloscient: (Perhaps a message to our friend, warning him that he's about to be disturbed, but we will help defend his home?)   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "The boss is curious and would like to flush out that building as well so we can roam the caves freely."   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "Ah....I see. Perhaps...let Marcuria and I go in, then. We will see if we can convince him to leave peacefully. I am sure that if you were to fight him now, some of you would perish."   Rolo: o k I message him   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "After you then"   Sirus: Ok so Rolo is going to use Message to warn Marmusk that there is trouble, DM.   Rolo: yes   Bugbear #01 -WEC18 the The Dude Says: "So, you want to go inside yourselves, very well then but I will watch you from the doorway!" ok noted Rolo   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Heads into Marmusk's room with Marcuria. Says: "...Marmusk."   Dungeon Master (GM): Mormesk again rises from the floor.   Sirus: Mormesk. Ech, Pretend Avery said the name right lel What languages does Mormesk know?   Mormesk the Wraith Says: "Yes, what is it?!” well common for sure

Sirus: Any others? Thinking of ways to explain stuff to Mormesk without the bugbears getting wise   Roqar: (Have an awful glare on screen for now sunny morning)   Sirus: I guess Avery can use Prestidigitation to make a message the bugbears can't read, but Mormesk can?   Rolo: trouble from the bugbears message   Dungeon Master (GM): well, what languages does Rolo know, speak them and see if Mormesk responds. Mormesk would get Rolo’s message now that Rolo sees him.   Rolo: common undercommon   Marcuria the Human Barbarian sweats a bit, realizing that if she just said what was up, the Bugbears would know.   Sirus: We can try a bit of undercommon out of Marcy.   Dia Xiloscient: I can use Minor Illusion to show Mormesk a "video"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, do you know if undercommon is also Infernal language?? ok Dia   Sirus: Undercommon and Infernal are 2 seperate languages   Dia Xiloscient: If I cast it right in front of Marcy and Avery, the bugbears shouldn't see it   Rolo: infernal and abyssal   Sirus: Undercommon is the tongue of Underdark creatures, Infernal is hell demon language.   Dungeon Master (GM): but don't forget you have two bugbears outside the door watching   Sirus: GM, Dia can put it on a wall the bugbears don't have sight of They can't see these walls   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, what i though so no, Mormesk only responds to common   Sirus: Mk. So it's either that Avery does prestidigitation or we go with Dia's thing   Dia Xiloscient: Over in the corner by the broken chairs   Sirus: Yeah the bugbears won't be aware. Let's do that.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Dia Xiloscient: I make a small image of a bugbear, then of weapons, then an arrow pointing at Mormesk   Dungeon Master (GM): alright   Dia Xiloscient: FOR DESCRIPTION ONLY Minor Illusion Illusion Cantrip Casting Time:  1 action Range:  30 feet Target:  See text Components:  S, M (A bit of fleece) Duration:  1 minute Dia Xiloscient, creates a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. SPELL SAVE DC : 14   Mormesk the Wraith Mormesk sees the illusion. His only acknowledgement is in his eyes, looking in that direction directly a couple of times.   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Gently makes a slight motion to the door, as if to silently inform Mormesk that they had to act fast. She tried to signal to Mormesk to give them a hand. One favor for another.   Sirus: This is the kind of motion that wouldn't be a giveaway. Like a gentle tilt of the head. Not a hand motion   Mormesk the Wraith Sees Marcuria's signal that the bugbears are outside and gives a slight motion he is willing to exit. floats more towards the door a bit   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Nods quietly and backs out alongside Avery. Says: "He's coming out, I think."   Dungeon Master (GM): Mormesk floats to the door and sees the bugbears.   Mormesk the Wraith Says: "You must leave here!"   Bugbear #01 -WEC11 the The Dude Says: "No, it is you that must leave. These caves are ours now!"   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "I don't know, he makes a pretty compelling case..."   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, looks like we are going into combat here so time to roll Initiative.

He is alone with the spiders kek : Round 1 Marcuria , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, she gets to act first   Sirus: Hm....yeah ok, I need to think I am not 100% on what Marcy does here. This could go to shit so easily. Gimme a moment or two   Dungeon Master (GM): alright   Sirus: The bugbears are currently just targeting Mormesk, right?   Dia Xiloscient: Maybe ready an action so you can attack later in the turn sequence?   Dungeon Master (GM): yes, Mormesk would be their primary focus and they will still be watching the party as well of course   Sirus: Oooh that sounds interesting. So move back a ways, and Ready an attack, as if about to attack Mormesk.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Dia Xiloscient: I think you have to state the trigger that will make you actually attack   Sirus: Ok. I will delay until... Hang on lemme look Delaying attack until Mormesk's own attack.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Sirus: Alright, eot I suppose.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok

Marcuria 's turn is done. Bugbear #02 -WEC18 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): He moves on Mormesk first!   Morningstar Bugbear #02 –WEC18 Attack: 13  |  19 Damage:   15  piercing Attacks: Mormesk! The Bugbear scores what he thought was a solid hit until he sees that the morning star goes right through Mormesk without having any effect!   Sirus: ruh roh : Bugbear #02 -WEC18 's turn is done. Giant Spider #04 -WEC19 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): It stays back for the moment. : Giant Spider #04 -WEC19 's turn is done.

It's a ghost or something!"   Sirus: Damn, maybe Marcy should actually just let this happen instead of attacking alongside Mormesk. : Bugbear #01 -WEC11 's turn is done. Farren Nidanas , it's now your turn!   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Hey, we tried to warn you."   Dia Xiloscient: Farren readies an action to attack when he sees Marcy attack anything.   Dungeon Master (GM): that all for now?   Dia Xiloscient: eot : Farren Nidanas 's turn is done. Giant Spider #02 -WEC19 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): stays back for now : Giant Spider #02 -WEC19 's turn is done.

The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. At Higher Levels .  When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius of the fog increases by 20 feet for each slot level above 1st. SPELL SLOT LEVEL 12 OF 4 REMAINING

Dungeon Master (GM): ok in front of the spiders   Dia Xiloscient: Yep. They shouldn't be able to see the battle now   Dungeon Master (GM): you hear what sounds like Nezznar swearing now   Dia Xiloscient: Not sure who's measuring, but I think the fog should be limited to the upper level   Rolo: where is he   Dungeon Master (GM): yes it will hang up there   Sirus: Amidst the spiders if I had to guess He seems like "surround himself with giant spiders" sort   Dia Xiloscient: Also, I'm hoping he thinks Mormesk cast the fog   Dungeon Master (GM): alright   Dia Xiloscient: eot   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d100( 94 ) = 94 Dia 's turn is done.

Life Drain Mormesk the Wraith Attack: 14  |  9 Damage:   15  necrotic Attacks: Bugbear #04 -WEC11! The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.   Sirus: I have decided that Marcy will actually just do nothing instead, by the way. Not ready yet.   Dungeon Master (GM): he missed the bugbear! : Mormesk the Wraith’s turn is done. Avery , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, what is she going to do?   Sirus: Avery gonna just slip out of harm's way there, yep.

Roqar , it's now your turn!   Roqar: Roqar will dash South   Dungeon Master (GM): alright   Sirus: By the way, a question. Is Nundro actually at this location here on the map or are you just storing him there, GM?   Dungeon Master (GM): being stored there   Sirus: Mh right, okay.   Dungeon Master (GM): prior to entering this cavern the spiders would always be around Nundro   Sirus: Alright. Fair to guess that Nundro is still back the way they came then?   Dungeon Master (GM): yea : Roqar 's turn is done. Bugbear #03 -WEC18 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): that bugbear stays back for the moment : Bugbear #03 -WEC18 's turn is done.

Farren Nidanas , it's now your turn!   Dia Xiloscient: Farren joins the group, and takes the dodge action (Don't expect it to matter, but can't hurt to have +1 AC)   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Sirus: Actuall Dodge is supposed to be disadvantage on attack rolls? Or... Dodge is disadvantage on incoming attack rolls yeah   Dungeon Master (GM): ok : Farren Nidanas 's turn is done. Giant Spider #02 -WEC19 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): appears to stay back : Giant Spider #02 -WEC19 's turn is done. Giant Spider #01 -WEC19 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): as does that one : Giant Spider #01 -WEC19 's turn is done. Bugbear #03 -WEC11 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): stays where he is : Bugbear #03 -WEC11 's turn is done. Giant Spider #03 -WEC19 , it's now your turn!   Dungeon Master (GM): stays back : Giant Spider #03 -WEC19 's turn is done. Dia , it's now your turn!   Sirus: Yay the whole party is here.   Dia Xiloscient: Full dash to join the group eot : Dia 's turn is done. Juan , it's now your turn!   Sirus: Aight, now I think next round we could just yeet on out, and let the bugbears enjoy mormesk As he slaps them all to death.   Dia Xiloscient: Don't we not have Nundro?   Sirus: We don't no   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so looks like the party will retreat from this fight?   Sirus: Yeah, here's what i'm thinking guys We all kinda wait until a certain point in the next around and nyeeom on out Going through the supposed poison fungus   Dungeon Master (GM): No Nundro was always near the spiders until this cavern   Sirus: Then we cut up north again through here See if we can find Nundro. Should be a lot doable with the bulk of the guy's forces preoccupied with the hopeless fight against mormesk.   Dia Xiloscient: Sounds good. Worst case we take the spiders from behind after they've lost their minions   Sirus: Ye. All agreed then?   Buddy D.: yes we have another nasty storm coming in   Dungeon Master (GM): keep in mind the bugbears can tell their weapons are not hurting Mormesk, so they may retreat themselves   Sirus: Hm ok. Lemme think. Any way for someone to trick the bugbears into thinking they're wearing mormesk out?   Roqar: We did come to rescur Nundro all for that   Sirus: Maybe someone could minor illusion a glob of ectoplasm flying off of Mormesk to make it look like they finally hit them.   Dungeon Master (GM): yes and aside of mormesk and the known ocre jelly and a couple of unexplored areas, those are the only known pest left.   Dia Xiloscient: Yeah, give him a few "injuries"   Rolo: minor ilusion that says ouch when hes hit

Sirus: Ooh that's even better   Dia Xiloscient: Range of minor illusion is 30 ft, so can't retreat while using it.   Sirus: No, we'll have to wait a turn or two. But that should be ok I think   Rolo: i have minor iulluision   Sirus: The bugbears are too busy fighting to realize it OOH Ok Rolo, just had an idea. Hear me out Rolo goes invisible right? Then he goes here   Dia Xiloscient: It looks like there can be multiple illusions at a time, each lasting a minute, so we can get 20 between us.   Sirus: And he can kinda peek out from behind the rock and keep using minor illusion   Rolo: k np   Sirus: To continue giving false hope to the bugbears until they all fucking die How's that? While the others all retreat, and when the bugbears are dead, Rolo can come rejoin us   Rolo: k   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so if a bugbear is near death I will roll a d100 and a 44% or less he retreats   Sirus: Ah ok. Mmh maybe that doesn't really work out then. Maybe we should just stay put for a round or two.
