LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I think you need to roll, pianotm.

My Stranglehold skill would typically be pretty useful in a 3v1 fight, but I'm not convinced that it would actually work on this thing, considering it's some kind of shapeshifter and its neck is seemingly made out of gooey ectoplasm. Just attack.

Rolled a 19 for hit chance. After modifiers that's a 20.

Rolled an 8 for damage.

(I forgot to include the -1 hit chance from fatigue last round, since apparently I am still pretty fatigued even after eating a meal and getting a couple hours of rest. My attack was blocked anyway though so I guess it's irrelevant.)

Not for attack advantage. If you're wondering how I got an attack advantage, I got it from when I did Bardic Performance.

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

My bad on the fatigue. Also you can get higher than a 20 with modifiers only (this'll only be relevant in the future where enemies have higher than 20 AC) for future reference.

Also, advantage is when you roll twice and take the higher roll. I don't know where you got the idea that advantage is an auto hit.

"You know, this Ice Wraith doesn't seem to like us very much. Do you think it would mind if we just left? Or maybe it just wants something different to spend time with..."
I cast Chaotic Summon again. I might just happen to conjure up something the Ice Wraith is interested in. No other way to find out than try. Let's see what happens.

My Chaotic Magic roll is a 27.

Oh! Well, in that case, I rolled an 18 and a 19. So there's 19 and +5.

-----Turn 15-----
The ice wraith expels a breath of cold in a line, catching Leara and Aldus.
They manage to side-step most of it, taking only 3 cold damage each.
Agnelia triples her efforts, whipping at the form horizontally to chunk out it's face. The creature reels in the air and begins to get low to the ground when Leara drives her sword into the rest of it's head easily, pinning it to the ground. The creature explodes, creating an icicle around Leara's hand and sword.

Ice wraith is defeated!
The party gains 40 XP each!

Agnelia levels up!
You gain 1 skill points, 1 affinity point, and roll 1d8 + constitution modifier to increase your max health, or take the average (5) + con mod.
You can Upgrade any 1 skill:
Viria's Boon: +2 bonus. You get a +3 to stealth checks.

Choke-Hold: Reduce the penalty to -1. The base escape DC is increased by 1.
You can choose to yank and have the grip be released and deal 1d8 damage. Each fatigue stack can only be healed with a constitution save DC 10 + strength (-2) = 8, ever 4 points above the DC is an extra stack healed.

Sacrificed Power:
-Touch an enemy near you and push them back, dealing 1d8 damage to them.
-You heal for 1d12 every turn you focus
You have four charges of this ability each day.

Well, not sure what just happened here, but since there's no battle results, I assume the creature is still alive. I assume the sword is still in my hand, icicle or not. Hit it again...if it's still there, that is.

Rolled a 4. That gives me 9. :/
LockeZ

Whee!

I'll take one Miasmal affinity point, add second skill point in Nature, and I'll upgrade Sacrificed Power. I rolled a sweet 8 for my HP increase. (just as a note, you're calling both combat abilities and environmental abilities Skills)

Leara now has an awesome ice-elemental sword, and a less useful ice-elemental hand that probably needs to be broken free. Unfortunately said frost-encased sword is the only smashing weapon we have to break her hand out.

So, did I not summon anything? I'd rather not be without extra protection right now, I'm almost dead.


"Brrr... I don't feel so good. Everything around us seems to be unusually hostile, and all this cold is trying to limit my potential for change in a very unpleasant manner.
Leara, do you think you could communicate with Ice Wraiths now that one of them seems to have infused you with their power? We might be safe then, if more decide to show up. Unfortunately, I have not yet discovered the secret to making sleep obsolete, so I think I'll have some."

Unless someone/something stops me, I start preparing to go to sleep.

Cancel action.

"It looks like it's dead." Break ice off of hand. Tend wounds. Rolled a 16 for tending wounds. Not sure which modifiers go with it. Turns to Aldus. Speaks to nobody in particular. "I guess we're not finding a safer campsite. My turn to take watch. Yay."

"Oh, are we taking turns? Wake me up when you're done."

Less than two minutes after waking up, I immediately collapse onto the ground and fall right back asleep.

Leara breaks the ice of her hands and immediately tend her wounds once mor, successfully. Aldus successfully summons another creature that Leara instantly recognizes. The drow in the Lower Realm often used it as a messanger, as it easily blended in with it's dark depths. She knows of it as a Drelkm, an extremely minor demon.
Leara takes a position and stands watch as Aldus goes to sleep, ordering the Drelkm to stand watch as well. It disappears after an hour. Nothing dangerous happens on Leara's watch. You have all completed a short rest at least. 4 more hours for a long rest (max HP restore, cure fatigue etc.)

So, do we want to start moving again, and if so, should we rather go to the temple or the mines? Or do you think it'd be better to rest another 4 hours? The only one of us who's had a full night's sleep is Agnelia, after all.

Either way, until Leara decides to wake us up after her watch is completed, my action will be to murmur in my sleep.

Well, Agnelia said that whoever was responsible had held her at some kind of mine. So I say we go to the mines. Wake up and get the new day started.

OK, sounds fine to me.

Wake up.

After hearing Leara start her explanation, however, I interrupt. "No, I wasn't being held anywhere. I just found the mines. I know where they are and can take you back there, but you're the first people I've met since leaving my home at the temple. Actually, you're the first people I've ever met who weren't priests or acolytes at the temple."

"But if you're going somewhere, I'd like to follow you and help. I don't know anybody else, and I don't have anywhere else to go. And you saved my life."

I turn to Aldus. "Maybe we should go to the temple first, and try to find some kind of clue to what happened."

I get up and, seeing that everyone else is already awake, I greet them. "Ah, good morning, friends. I had the most fascinating dream tonight. Unfortunately, it ended right before I could peek through the door that opened into itself, but at least I got to shake the hand of the eye. Well, I suppose there is no purpose to delaying our departure any further. You remember the way without my help, Agnelia? To the mines, then?"

I cast Prestidigitation on myself and my clothes repeatedly to clean them and start walking the way Agnelia leads us, until Leara suddenly stops me.

"Ah, you changed your mind, Leara? Very well, that seems like a sound choice. Although, Agnelia, before we go, can you tell us how many priests and acolytes who are the only people you have ever met were at the temple? If you were the only one, there might be nothing to worry about."


P.S.: LockeZ, I am Aldus. pianotm is Leara, and she was the one who started the explanation. (Not that Aldus would mind if you confused us.)

One of you is referring to your character in the first person and the other is referring to your character in the third person and it keeps confusing me!

...sorry...I'm the third person one, but I've stopped.

Heh, I was just going to offer to change the way I refer to my character, but you're already a step ahead of me, pianotm.

Okay, so is everyone content with changing the plan and going to the temple first? I'm absolutely fine with that.
