Sirus: Yep, and what I am saying is, you maybe should have considered an upper ceiling Because there is a point that you are overdoing it, even with that kek   Feralda: This module is rough.   Dungeon Master (GM): yea, "no limit" ;p   Sirus: Lol this is insanity for a random encounter module   Dungeon Master (GM): rough?! ha!   Elizabeth K.: Our only NPC can do combat spells, so we aren't too screwed by that rule.   Sirus: Suddenly it's Middle Earth; Shadow of War up in here   Feralda: Lolz   Dungeon Master (GM): actually it's a set encounter that is supposed to happen as you near their encampment...Anchorites were watching you as you approached   Sirus: Oh. I see. Nvm then No sign of Rolo, again   Feralda: Even after we cleared the lodge, they have no shortage of Orcs.   Dungeon Master (GM): Rolo did message me about 40 minutes ago saying he can't make it   Sirus: Ok.

Ow......OW.   Roqar: Uncanny Dodge Roqar Class: Rogue Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you.   Sirus: Rage does nothing against elemental damage   Dia Xiloscient: Shouldn't Marcy have 4 tmp HP?   Sirus: Oh yeah. 18   Feralda: Not unless you're a barbearian.   Sirus: Ah actually, I guess that means I have to run a concentration check on Avery.   Dia Xiloscient: And Rolo too, so he only gets 7

He fell down the ditch   Dia Xiloscient: It's within 20 feet of a point, so all 4 are within range of this point   Dungeon Master (GM): so Orc #08 and #09   Sirus: within 20 feet of that point, so it's more like that yeah. Should put them all to sleep.   Dungeon Master (GM): oops nevermind   Dia Xiloscient: And use my bonus action to roll the fire toward them . . .   Sirus: Oof. That means they can't save.

Ah, let's see about getting Marcuria and Roqar back up. They'll go around the ditch the long way to check out the anchorite and such   Dungeon Master (GM): yep for certain he has a vial   Feralda: How filthy was the ditch, anyway? Feralda may want to find a bridge.   Sirus: Feralda would have to risk two dex checks to get in there anyways   Dungeon Master (GM): I guess it was just a dry rocky ravine   Sirus: And possibly fall and break her back Best not to, lol The orcs in the trench will be looted by Marcy and Roqar and then they will see about getting back up   Dungeon Master (GM): I will forgo checking to see if you get up the other side as you will just heal and sleep off any damage anyways   Sirus: yeaaah, rest time for sure We definitely are not ready for the anchorite main event this time   Dia Xiloscient: Tiny Hut Evocation 3 Casting Time:  1 minute Range:  Self (10-foot-radius hemisphere) Target:  A 10-foot-radius around and above you Components:  V, S, M (A small crystal bead) Duration:  8 hours A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration.

Sirus: long rest? or short   Feralda: I can get some spell slots back with short rest, but I'm also injured.   Roqar: Long rest   Sirus: Long rest would be most useful because our wizards have burned up most if not all of their slots   Dungeon Master (GM): 4 watches so 4 checks for a wandering monster   Sirus: Yep   Dungeon Master (GM): 2   2   6   6   Sirus: Tiny hut   Dungeon Master (GM): no encounters so you are fully rested and have all your spells   Sirus: Right. Lemme restore the shizzle.   Feralda: Ok, rested up, and another casting of mage armor for the day.   Dia Xiloscient: Yeah. I also cast mage armor whenever we continue adventuring.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Sirus: Yeah I think one long rest later and we can continue. We have time for more session. So we have a vial. What's inside the vial if I might ask?   Feralda: One thing that confuses me about wizards and warlocks is, the balance for warlocks having so few spell slots is that they get them back after a short rest. However, wizards can get lower level spell slots back after a short rest too, except they have a lot more slots. So not sure why warlock would be chosen over wizard, outside of roleplay reasons.   Dia Xiloscient: Rolo could cast Identify as a ritual on the vial.   Sirus: iirc warlocks have some special spells only they can get.   Dia Xiloscient: Warlocks also have features other than the spells.   Feralda: I guess they do have invocations, and a few class specific spells.   Sirus: Yeah GM could Rolo use Identify to determine the vial contents? as ritual   Dungeon Master (GM): yes Atop the hill is a ring of eight upright stone structures, each one consisting of two 10-foot-high vertical stone slabs spaced 5 feet apart and topped with a 3-foot-thick flat lintel stone. In the middle of the circle, two humanoid figures dance around a deer carcass, each wearing the rotting head of a boar as a mask.   Sirus: Then he will   Dungeon Master (GM): you also notice 18 twig blights dancing with them   Feralda: Seems like they'll get themselves killed through disease, without our intervention.   Sirus: ....rngh   Dia Xiloscient: Twig blights sounds like a job for more fireballs   Feralda: Fireball solves many problems.   Sirus: ok hang on. before we get ahead of ourselves   Roqar: We should fireball them   Sirus: identify ritual on the vial Since we have a bit of time while the anchorites unga-bunga and do their weird dancing   Dungeon Master (GM): It's a potion of Greater Healing: 4d4+4: a glimmering red liquid   Sirus: yooooo   Feralda: Good thing he didn't get the chance to use it.   Sirus: Marcy...could seriously use that in the off chance she gets wonked by lightning again   Roqar: Yeah   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, i need to slap 18 twig blights onto the map   Sirus: If no complaints, Marcy will take that.   Dia Xiloscient: Keep taunting the enemies into attacking only you, and you're welcome to all the healing items you want.   Sirus: kek Normally her duty is just warding off melee attackers from punishing the squishy wizards But the taunting worked out great in that scenario   Feralda: I agree   Roqar: Watching javelins encircle you was fun :P   Sirus: actually you know what? Marcy was supposed to get advantage to avoid that lightning bolt!   Marcuria Violezi: Danger Sense Marcuria Violezi Class: 2nd Level At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren’t as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.   Feralda: Oh yeah   Sirus: I need to remember that. About to become REAL relevant I think   Feralda: Most of them are in fireball range. :)   Sirus: Yeah one singular fireball is going to completely delete the twig blights.   Feralda: We should probably stealth up to them, to see how close we can get.   Sirus: Marcy can't. She has disadvantage on stealth That is a very easy way to ruin it Rolo can invis tho   Dia Xiloscient: Rolo and Dia can both cast invisibility. (It does work on others)   Roqar: Why be Stealthy? Let a Fireball announce us   Feralda: GM is being too kind, bunching them up like that.   Dungeon Master (GM): let me check on something here to see how they are bunched   Sirus: Rolo could try to catch one of the anchorites with a little something special   Dungeon Master (GM): Ominous storm clouds gather in the sky as you approach a ninety-foot-tall hill with trees spreading across its slopes. Atop the hill is a large ring of standing stones. Two ghastly figures dance within this henge, surrounded by a number of smaller capering creatures.

Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "So...what's the plan, then? These Anchorites have to go."   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, they are not neccessarily dancing in a circle i'm going to spread them out a bit   Sirus: How long does it take to swap out readied spells? I may have Rolo switch to Chromatic Orb.   Feralda the Elf Wizard Says: "I doubt that diplomacy is the way to do this. we should just take them by surprise."   Dia Xiloscient: Every long rest, so you could do it as part of the rest we just did   Sirus: Yeah good idea, will do   Dungeon Master (GM): good enough   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Why not use magic? These guys are like evil cultists"   Sirus: swapping out Hold Person for Chromatic Orb.   Dia Xiloscient the Elf Wizard Says: "Hug the treeline till we get close?"   Feralda: If we actually get a surprise round on these guys, they're done before they know what hit them.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so make you plan of attack here   Sirus: The plan I see is   Feralda: Use cover to get reasonably close, then light them up with fireballs.   Sirus: Rolo will use invisibility to get into attack range, smack one of the anchorites with Chromatic Orb and then back off. Feralda can quickly follow up by slamming a fireball onto the group, ending the Twig Blights.   Dungeon Master (GM): you are 80 ft up right now   Sirus: a hit with chromatic orb is 3d8   Feralda: Can I see the center of the area from where I'm at?   Sirus: Think so So in theory you could definitely slap em with a fireball   Feralda: Yes, I can hit every one of them with fireball, when we're ready.   Sirus: Actually   Roqar: Maybe save the venison for us?  giggle   Sirus: Ooh maybe Rolo should just fireball now, and then pop invis so he can sneak attack the anchorites. That way Feralda can save her slots for the more deadly stuff Thing is, if he doesn't, that saves slots for Counterspell... To counter the lightning bolts...   Feralda: Whatever you want. Feralso has counterspell too. Although her save DC is higher, so the fireball would be more potent coming from her.   Dia Xiloscient: If we're doing invisible sneak attacks, do Marcy and Roqar want in on it? Could have them near the henge to jump into melee when the fireballs clear.   Sirus: Yeah. Why don't you just have Feralda fireball them then. We can do that. Actually, maybe I will have Avery use Bardic Inspiration on Feralda before she uses it, so we can take even more on her damage. The hedge? What do you mean?   Dia Xiloscient: stone henge   Sirus: Reminder that Marcy has disadvantage on stealth   Dia Xiloscient: Even invisible?   Sirus: So there's a decently good chance the clap of her asscheeks will alert the guards She can't become invisible   Feralda: I'm gonna cast   Sirus: Only Rolo can Ok hang on Let's make sure we all agree on the plan   Dungeon Master (GM): position all of the party tokens to where you are hiding right now   Roqar: After Fireball most likely on 2 left   Sirus: Feralda fireballs, Rolo casts invisible and goes opportunist   Sirus: Lemme think then. Yeah ok, Rolo will touch invisible on Marcy, making her actually invisible.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Rolo: FOR DESCRIPTION ONLY Invisibilty Illusion 2 Casting Time:  1 action Range:  Touch Target:  Creature touched Components:  V, S, M (An eyelash encased in gum arabic) Duration:  Concentration Up to 1 hour Rolo touches Marcuria, who becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target’s person. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell.

SPELL SAVE DC : 14   Sirus: ah wait no there we go   Feralda: DC16 Dexterity   Save A bright streak flashes from Feralda's pointing finger to Twig Blight #17, within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.

Avery: Bardic Inspiration(D8) Avery Class: Bard You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails.

Niches in the walls hold clay dishware, wooden utensils, gathered berries, bundled herbs, and creepy totems at area E: This tunnel slopes up to a secret trapdoor that is plainly visible from the underside.   Feralda the Elf Wizard Says: "We're going down."   Sirus: Actually I think the trapdoor is in the ceiling? Since the GM is mentioning the underside of it   Feralda: Oh sorry, up.   Dungeon Master (GM): yep on the ceiling   Sirus: Could the rope over the gate holding the deer be cut with a knife?   Dungeon Master (GM): yes or untied   Sirus: Thinking Avery will use her dagger to cut the rope   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Dia Xiloscient: Do I see any signs of magic on the way?   Sirus: Free the nice deer : )   Feralda: Then the deer attacks   Sirus: kek   Dia Xiloscient: Making sure: the deer is not magic, right?   Sirus: lul real fake deer   Dungeon Master (GM): There is no sign of magics in the cave here for Dia’s familiar. actuall this deer is being timid, if you will and doesn't try to bolt/attack   Sirus: Ok so Avery cuts the rope and opens the gate, trying to gently motion the deer out so it can walk to freedom let's say   Dungeon Master (GM): ok you guide the deer out with a little coaxing   Avery the Half-Elf Bard Says: "C'mon...let's get you out of here, friend.~"   Dungeon Master (GM): leaving the boar to rot?   Sirus: lol.

That's Avery's business.   Sirus: Dia should probs get out of the way. ...As should Roqar lol   Dungeon Master (GM): ok you cut the rope and open the gate, the boar charges right out and of course feralda is there Tusk Boar Attack: 4  |  15 Damage:   2  slashing Attacks: Feralda!   Feralda: Oh right, because I sat outside and looked through my owl eyes. :P   Sirus: miss It still misses lol   Dungeon Master (GM): she dodged the boar!   Feralda: Wait who moved my token?   Sirus: The GM probably It's fine tho.

Feralda: Feralda disengages with her familiar, and comes in with a huff, wondering where a boar came from.   Sirus: Nah. With the boar and the deer out of the way, Marcuria will push open the trapdoor from below.   Dungeon Master (GM): that is where Marcuria emerges   Sirus: Oh. It just comes out there. Then in that case, Marcuria heads back down. Time to try door #2.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "This room's clear. Let's try another."   Dungeon Master (GM): and door #02 will be the north west or the north east cave entrance?   Sirus: I vote northeast.   Roqar: sure   Feralda: Ok   Sirus: I'm sure Reidoth appreciates freeing the aminals   Dia Xiloscient: Still nothing from Detect Magic?   Dungeon Master (GM): the entrance lintel stone above the mouth of this cave is bare. Ok at area A: Situated in the middle of this intersection, facing the cave mouth, the skull of a boar rests atop a pile of humanoid and animal bones.   Feralda the Elf Wizard Says: "Oh no, another boar."   Marcuria the Human Barbarian Says: "Tch.
