"One does not survive long by walking into the den of a predator. Follow my example and steer your herd elsewhere," it replies.

Show Travel

Tasks:

  • Darvin: mapping
  • Vithka: noticing threats + navigating (natural explorer feature from Ranger class prevents getting lost; you may still take a wrong turn, but you realize where you are and can course correct right away).
  • Paavu: foraging (wander feature from Outlander background provides 6 lbs of food and water each day)
  • Johnny: helping (Vithka noticing threats make most sense to me)
  • Roscoe: ?
  • Markax: noticing threats

Roscoe could also "notice threats" (which uses your Passive Perception) or help forage (Make a Wisdom (Survival) check if you do)

Pace: Fast (1-2 hexes per 2 hours)
Navigation: Fast paced Wisdom (Survival) check DC 15 (arctic) w/ Advantage due to Map
Passive Perception (Vithka + help + pace): 16 +5 -5: 16
Required food/water (6 adventurers, 1 med beast, 1 large beast): 11 lbs./gallons per day. Net -5 lbs. of food/rations per day after foraging (water is non-issue).

Vithka smiled at the reindeer's advice. "Wise words. Your herd lucky to have such strong and capable leader," she said, bowing her head once more. She relayed what the reindeer had told her to the others and waited to see if they had any questions they wanted answered. To the wolf, she whispered, "Patience, soon you dine on ogre flesh."

Duergar Outpost


21 Kythorn at 1pm-ish; Illumination: Exterior - Dim; Interior: n/a Weather: High Winds

spacer.png

You return to the stream that you recently crossed and follow it to a small canyon in the foothills of Kelvin's Cairn. A blocky stronghold bereft of warmth or charm juts out of a hillside in a rough crescent shape. Only part of its construction is visible; the rest is buried in the stone.

A large double door of stone serves as the main entrance. The terrain leading to it is a gently upward-sloping plain covered with fresh snow. The stream you are following used to flow out of a barred culvert northeast of the main entrance, but the waterway has frozen. Two other barred openings can be seen along the stronghold’s northern wall. Anyone positioned behind these openings would have an unobstructed view of the hillside.

Closer to you, separated from the rest of the stronghold, is a snow-covered stone bunker perforated by arrow slits.

The dim light of midday allows those without darkvision to see well enough, though it does make it more difficult for them to notice any details or danger.

How do you proceed?

OOC

Prevailing light outside is Dim, so for creatures with Darkvision it's treated as Bright (w/in Darkvision range). Those without Darkvision (and beyond Darkvision range for those that do) have disadvantage on Perception checks (and a -5 to Passive Perception).

Also note, your tokens on the map do not indicate your actual position. I'll assume you've stayed far enough away to see the detail mentioned above without revealing yourselves.

Vithka pointed to the bunker. "We may need deal with this first," she said matter-of-factly. "I have spell to help sneak up, if you think good idea."

 

OOC

Vithka will happily cast Pass Without Trace if we want to try to get up to (and inside?) the snow bunker. Or for any other reason, really.

Abilities

Safe Haven As a faction agent, you have access to a secret network of supporters and operatives who can provide assistance
on your adventures. You know a set of secret signs and passwords you can use to identify such operatives, who can provide you with access to a hidden safe house, free room and board, or assistance in finding information.
These agents never risk their lives for you or risk revealing their true identities

Darkvision You can see in darkness within 60 feet of you as if it were dim light. However, you can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fey Ancestry You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Magical Tinkering You've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:
• The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
• Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
• The object continuously emits your choice of an odour or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
• A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.
The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.
You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

Spellcasting You produce your artificer spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus-specifically thieves' tools or some kind of artisan's tool-in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature(meaning the spell has an "M" component when you cast it). You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. After you gain the Infuse Item feature at 2nd level, you can also use any item bearing one of your infusions as a spellcasting focus.
You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of artificer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the artificer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of artificer spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells. You can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Infuse Item You've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.
When you gain this feature, pick four artificer infusions to learn, choosing from the "Artificer Infusions" section at the end of the class's description. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in
the Infusions Known column of the Artificer table. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement. Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the infusion.
You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects appears in the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion ends, and then the new infusion applies.
If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.

The Right Tool for the Job You've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.

Eldritch Cannon You've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand.
Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present. The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.
When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.
Flamethrower The cannon exhales fire in an adjacent 15 foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
Force Ballista Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object with in 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon.
Protector The cannon em its a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (min of + 1 )

Arcane Firearm You know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely. You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.

Spells

Lv2 Spells Prepared Invisibility

Infusions

Infusions Known: 4
Infused Items: 2 Enhanced Studded Leather, Enhanced Arcane Wand
Enhanced Arcane Focus Item: A rod, staff, or wand (requires attunement)
While holding this item, a creature gains a + 1 bonus to spell attack rolls. In addition, the creature ignores half cover when making a spell attack. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Enhanced Defense Item: A suit of armor or a shield A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Repeating Shot Item: A simple or martial weapon with the ammunition property (requires attunement) This magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it when it's used to make a ranged attack, and it ignores the loading property if it has it. If you load no ammunition in the weapon, it produces its own, automatically creating one piece of magic ammunition when you make a ranged attack with it. The ammunition created by the weapon vanishes the instant after it hits or misses a target.

Replicate Magic Item Using this infusion, you replicate a particular magic item. You can learn this infusion multiple times; each time you do so, choose a magic item that you can make with it, picking from the Replicable Items tables.

 


Johnny nodded as he prepared his cannon and crossbow, checking them and making sure they were in good working order.

"If we don't clear it, they will be able to pepper us with arrows, and then surround us if we push to the main entrance. I think we need to deal with them first."

He moved quietly, following Vithka's lead.

Stone’s Endurance
When you take damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage taken by 1d12+1. You can use this trait 3 times per long rest.


Class: Cleric

Eyes of Night
You have darkvision out to a range of 300 feet. As an action, you can share this darkvision with up to 2 willing creatures you can see within 10 ft. of you, lasting for 1 hour.

Paavu took up her crossbow, loading it, then followed after the others. The arrow slits on the bunker likely had someone on the opposite side watching them, and perhaps it was possible that -- like her -- these individuals stationed here could see equally well, though she doubted they had the same measure of blessing as she did. Gods-touched, she was, whereas the dwarves stationed up here could not be considered in a similar measure. Such was the way of opposing sides -- someone had to be right, someone wrong, and Paavu firmly believed that she and her allies were among the "right", their cause being noble (their cause often bringing death)...

wizard4altered.jpg.4b3a9e2c92fbbe17bc4858eabf613f52.jpgDarvin nodded with agreement. Best take first things first rather than leave a problem for later. He quickly cut off his light spell, taking a moment to adjust to the dimer light as best he could before continuing after the others. He could not write out the map like this, but the mid day sun should be enough to follow in the foot steps of the others. And besides, he had a thought for their underdark visitors that would do better with the contrast. With the thought in mind, he gave a knowing smirk as he trudged after the others.

With Vithka's magic masking your approach you find a safe path by hugging the north cliff and moving behind the bunker where you find there are no arrow slits. The wolf moves quietly among you but were it not for Vithka's spell the axe beak would surely give you away.

This stone bunker stands fifteen feet tall. The rough edges of its construction indicate that it was cut from a single piece of stone. The cliff-edge continues along the north side of the canyon, passing below the barred openings you spied earlier.

How do you proceed?

OOC

Prevailing light outside is Dim, so for creatures with Darkvision it's treated as Bright (w/in Darkvision range). Those without Darkvision (and beyond Darkvision range for those that do) have disadvantage on Perception checks (and a -5 to Passive Perception).

Darkvision You can see in darkness within 60 feet of you as if it were dim light. However, you can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fey Ancestry You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Magical Tinkering You've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:
• The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
• Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
• The object continuously emits your choice of an odour or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
• A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.
The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.
You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

Spellcasting You produce your artificer spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus-specifically thieves' tools or some kind of artisan's tool-in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature(meaning the spell has an "M" component when you cast it). You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. After you gain the Infuse Item feature at 2nd level, you can also use any item bearing one of your infusions as a spellcasting focus.
You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of artificer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the artificer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of artificer spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells. You can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Infuse Item You've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.
When you gain this feature, pick four artificer infusions to learn, choosing from the "Artificer Infusions" section at the end of the class's description. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in
the Infusions Known column of the Artificer table. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement. Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the infusion.
You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects appears in the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion ends, and then the new infusion applies.
If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.

The Right Tool for the Job You've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.

Eldritch Cannon You've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand.
Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present. The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.
When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.
Flamethrower The cannon exhales fire in an adjacent 15 foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
Force Ballista Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object with in 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon.
Protector The cannon em its a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (min of + 1 )

Arcane Firearm You know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely. You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.

Enhanced Defense Item: A suit of armor or a shield A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Repeating Shot Item: A simple or martial weapon with the ammunition property (requires attunement) This magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it when it's used to make a ranged attack, and it ignores the loading property if it has it. If you load no ammunition in the weapon, it produces its own, automatically creating one piece of magic ammunition when you make a ranged attack with it. The ammunition created by the weapon vanishes the instant after it hits or misses a target.

Replicate Magic Item Using this infusion, you replicate a particular magic item. You can learn this infusion multiple times; each time you do so, choose a magic item that you can make with it, picking from the Replicable Items tables.

 


Johnny shook his head.

"I will give the bunker an once over, I still don't want it behind us if we can help it."

He moved quietly to the bunker, using the lack of arrow slits to his advantage. Then he crept around the bunker, making sure to remain below any arrow slits and searched for a door. If he could find none, he would return to the others and follow, otherwise he would indicate the door to the others and suggest they go in.

Johnny scouts the perimeter of the bunker and discovers there are no doors. The arrow slits, which are about 4 inches wide and 36 inches tall, watch the approach through the small canyon to the main gate. He does, however, hear someone inside; the occasional vulgar noise reverberates in a hollow-sounding stone room.

Johnny returns to the group to report his findings.

What next?

OOC

Prevailing light outside is Dim, so for creatures with Darkvision it's treated as Bright (w/in Darkvision range). Those without Darkvision (and beyond Darkvision range for those that do) have disadvantage on Perception checks (and a -5 to Passive Perception).

Vithka frowned when Johnny reported that there were no doors. After a moment, she shrugged and pointed in the direction of the stronghold, suggesting that they continue on. She looked at the bunker once more to determine where the slits were and which path to their destination would give whoever was inside the least opportunity to see them.

 

OOC

I'll wait until everyone is ready to go before posting another Stealth roll (if that's necessary).
