Act 3: In Search of the Unknown

Act 3: In Search of the Unknown

Having returned to the Keep on the Borderlands and spent a few days recovering from the ordeal at the caves and recruiting some new members as some old members departed the group who still did not have a name for themselves now sat around the tavern as new members get acquainted.

The tavern was always a lively place here and eleven other patrons sat around the room here. The group now contemplated returning to the caves, but they also had the map with the X marked on it with the "Q" that was nearby and unexplored. Then there were the offers still up on the inn board.

- A merchant staying in the inn is looking for adventurers that wish to journey to the sea for a mission of legend. Offers up 50 gp each for the undertaking.

- Dennel and Larissa Batharda wish to hire a group of adventurers to venture into their recently deceased father's home to recover his will. It seems that Dennel is offering 300 gold as a reward and Larissa is offering 400 gp. Although the offer is listed together, it seems that the siblings are competing for separate adventurers and are offering to make a sport of it.

- Tayanna Serrengriff, the new sheriff of Thelport is offering a group of adventurers 500 gp to return with her to help clean up a problem that the town is facing.

Quell - Kenku Rogue 2

"Rumors have it you lot are seeking others for a bit of 'specialized' work." The masked, wiry figure took inventory, assessing those present with a vacant lens-covered gaze. Briefly pulling his mask up, the person underneath had the visage of a raven; a full-sized beak, intelligent dark eyes, and glossy black feathers instead of hair. "Look no further for an experienced ruin delver and treasure hunter. My passion is my work and my work is exploring, cataloging, and retrieving what's been lost from the world," he stated confidently, not intending to boast or over-sell his talent, but to share a fact.

"Call me 'Quell'," continued the bipedal raven, shifting the large-sized backpack he wore; the container was adorned with all manner of equipment suitable for survival and exploration in the wilds.

Gesturing to the table, Quell asked those present, "May I join you to discuss collaboration?" He rested his hand onto the back of a chair, spidery black-nailed fingers clutching at the wood, awaiting a reply.

Cyran Astrucia - Elf Cleric of Darach-Albith character sheet

Cyran says a prayer for his fallen friends, but is in no condition to carry their bodies back. He isn't even much help carrying Clarabelle back. She's heavy, he's not very strong, he has quite a bit of gear already, and he is unaccustomed to manual labor. This adventuring is proving harder than he thought it would be. But the next day, he helps Clarabelle recover with some of his light, reciting a soft prayer over her when she finally awakens.

"Let the blessed light guide you."

Back in town, Cyran reflects on the misadventures. They had lost two companions, but somehow Darach-Albith had spared him and kept the remaining members alive. He prays for guidance, and feels that he is told again spread his light throughout the world. At this point, he's not sure he knows what that means, and he still doesn't know why his vision brought him to this place.

In the tavern, he drinks a good but not too expensive bottle wine, sharing the bottle with Clarabelle if she is interested. He makes sure they are seated by the adventure board so he can see if anyone else might be interested. While he sips his wine and eats a small meal, he turns to Clarabelle,

"We'll need some help if we want to go back and finish, or try some of these other jobs. Anyone here look interesting."

Just then, the Kenku approaches. He hadn't even noticed the raven it had been so quiet.

"Hello, I am Cyran and this is Clarabelle. We tried to defeat the goblins, but it ended as more of a stalemate. We cleared most of them, but the leader survived. We could go back. Or do any of these seem interesting to either of you."

RACIAL FEATURES

Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. 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.

Trance. Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.

___________________________________________________
CLASS FEATURES

Warding Flare (3/day). Also at 1st level, you can interpose divine light between yourself and an attacking enemy. When you are attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll, causing light to flare before the attacker before it hits or misses. An attacker that can't be blinded is immune to this feature.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel Divinity (1/SR)

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with two such effects: Turn Undead and an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.

When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.

Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC.

Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.

Channel Divinity: Turn Undead

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Harness Divine Power (Optional, if we are using it)

At 2nd level, you can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, the level of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). The number of times you can use this feature is based on the level you've reached in this class: 2nd level, once; 6th level, twice; and 18th level, thrice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dawn

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to harness sunlight, banishing darkness and dealing radiant damage to your foes.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and any magical darkness within 30 feet of you is dispelled. Additionally, each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to 2d10 + your cleric level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

Nalla "Stonecrusher" Kalagiano - Goliath Fighter

AC: 16 | HP: 13/13 | Initiative: +2 | Passive Perception: 12 |

Nalla has spent the last couple of days watching those who come and go. She noted the group that came in last night carrying the dragonborn lady. The next day she comes down from her room to see them sitting over by the adventure board. She notices that they are lacking in muscle so she walks up to them and introduces herself. As she is about to head over the Kenku approaches them so she hangs back and waits to go over till they are done talking.

Good morning. I'm Nalla. I hope I am not interrupting anything, but I noticed you come in last night in pretty bad shape and that you seem to be lacking in muscle. Oh dear, that was not meant to be insulting or anything. I just meant there were no heavily armored people among you. I am not a seasoned adventurer, but I do know how to hit things with my weapons. I offer you my protection if you are interested.

If you don't mind me asking, what were you attempting to do that left you in the sorry state you came back in?

You get the impression that she is not trying to be rude or insulting, but does not seem to be too good at talking to others.

A man standing a little less than six feet tall with a lean build approaches the party. Elven ears peek out from shoulder length hair of burnt orange. He obviously covers his youthful face with a full beard, but the wisdom shines through his inhuman, golden eyes. He wears bespoke leathers, a deep hooded, green woolen cloak covering a backpack, crossbow, and quiver, and a brace of throwing daggers on his weapons’ belt. He carries a carved quarterstaff.

"Well met. You guys are the ones who just returned from the caves? If you're going back, I'd like to go with you."

"My parents left me a map of the caves, but I've never found enough people to go with me. I'm Roth."

Clarabelle thanks Cyran and the others for saving her from the caves. She cries many tears for her companions who died and few for the ones that decided to leave.

"Roth, Nalla, Quell, well met friends. That was an adventure that almost did me in. If you don't mind me playing my lute or my flute, you are welcome to join us. I'm not anxious to return to the cave again right away. We went there to clean out the goblins that were attacking some of the locals. There are couple other job offers on the table. Perhaps we might consider helping the local sheriff take care of a little problem before we go back? What do the rest of you think?" She inquires as she tunes her lute.

Feywild Visitor Whenever you’re sound asleep or in a deep trance during a Long Rest, a spirit of the Feywild might pay you a visit, if the DM wishes it. Determine the spirit’s form by rolling on the Feywild Visitor table. No harm ever comes to you as a result of such visits, which can last for minutes or hours, and you remember each visit when you wake up. Conversations that occur with a visitor can contain any number of things, from messages and insights to nonsense and red herrings, at the DM’s discretion. Such conversations are always conducted in a language you can understand, even if the Feywild visitor can’t speak that language normally.

RACIAL FEATURES

Breath Weapon (2/2 per long rest). When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Chromatic Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Damage Resistance. You have resistance to cold damage.

___________________________________________________
CLASS FEATURES

Bardic Inspiration (3/3 per long rest) 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. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Jack of All Trades Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn’t already include your proficiency bonus.

Song of Rest Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest by spending one or more Hit Dice, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

Nalla "Stonecrusher" Kalagiano - Goliath Fighter

AC: 16 | HP: 13/13 | Initiative: +2 | Passive Perception: 12 |

After the group has had some discussion and detailed what all the options are, I assume including the map with the Q on it, Nalla speaks her opinion.

Well, we have plenty of choices. I will go where ever you all decide, but my preferences would be either go check out the location marked on the map or go check out the siblings home. As for the siblings, I am sure you all have the same impression I had in that they are trying to screw each other over. My thoughts on that are we go and if we can find the will, then we read it. If he states he wants it going to one or the other of them then we bring it back and give it to them. Of course if he doesn't state one or the other then we could always claim the place as ours, seeing how it is abandoned at the moment. Just saying, if they are going to play dirty then they deserve what they get.

Quell - Kenku Rogue 2

The kenku gave a nod, taking a seat at the table. Folding his hands together, Quell remained quite still, observing those gathered before him, silently assessing. He remained quiet, initially, as some started to speak about the past and, more importantly, the future.

"The town's problems nor becoming embroiled in some family's scandalous drama hold no interest for me. Neither do returning to those goblin-infested caves. But the mysterious map marked with a 'Q'? That sounds promising. Where does this mystery spot lead? To a hidden cache of treasure? A secret route to a lost civilization? Something else entirely?" he excitedly remarked, unlacing his fingers and leaning forward as he leveled the dark glass lens of his mask to meet the gaze of the others. The mystery was like a heady drink, filling him with a sense of euphoria and fulfillment at a mere thought.

He motioned to Nalla, "That's one already showing interest!" Quell swept a hand out to the remainder who've yet to voice their preferences. "What say you all?"

Nalla "Stonecrusher" Kalagiano - Goliath Fighter

AC: 16 | HP: 13/13 | Initiative: +2 | Passive Perception: 12 |

Nalla turns to Quell and though a small part of her says it might not be appropriate, she still asks.

If I may, Quell, why do you wear a mask to cover your face, that looks just like your face?

She keeps eye contact with him, as best she can through the mask and goggles and waits for the answer. There are no signs of her trying to poke fun or anything on her face, just pure curiousity.

Quell - Kenku Rogue 2

Tilting his head, Quell looked directly at Nalla, features unreadable. Without missing a beat, he responded: "Ah, an unusual question! I'll answer your question with one of my own— why do we wear clothing?" He didn't wait for a reply. "For function! For fashion! For expression!"

Quell swept a hand along his covered beak. "But most importantly... I wear this for protection! Delving into ruins often exposes one to irritating or harmful substances; I prefer to keep my senses at peak performance and desire to protect them from any harm." Leaning with his elbow on the table, the kenku continued, "Nearly five years ago, I had been exploring an old crypt that once belonged to a practicing necromancer. She had been killed in a terrible accident (not my doing) and left behind her belongings. They served no one else and no further purpose, so I decided to 'acquire' them and share them with the world. As I was investigating said necromancer's laboratory, I spilt one of the alchemical flasks she had on the workbench. The substance got upon my clothing and it stank to the highest heavens! The smell was downright atrocious. My eyes were watering endlessly, my tongue lost its sense of taste, and I couldn't smell anything but that sickening fluid."

He swept up the mask, revealing his actual face. "It was while I endured that horrible stench that I thought to myself: 'If I only had something to protect my face'." Quell tapped the mask now resting on his brow. "It's not easy finding something that fits my glorious beak, mind you." His laugh was on an inhale, coming out as short, low croaks and as he laughed, he offered Nalla a friendly wink.

Clarabelle the Cold - White Dragonborn Bard

AC: 15 HP: 13/13 Spell Slots: 3/- Dragon Breath: 2/2 Bardic Inspiration: 3/3 DM Inspiration: 1 PP: 12

The white dragonborn gently strums a soft melody while everyone talks. She responds to Nalla "Nalla, we had the same thought initially, but after talking to the siblings... Well, they want you to sign a contract with huge penalties. I think that it is not worth the hassle. My idea is that we just do something small together first, then we can go back to the cave or check out the Q on the map. One of the problems that we had before was with the group getting separated and then killed. Perhaps if we do something small first then we can get to know each other before we head off after some bigger prizes." She suggests.

Features:

Feywild Connection Your mannerisms and knowledge of fey customs are recognized by natives of the Feywild, who see you as one of their own. Because of this, friendly Fey creatures are inclined to come to your aid if you are lost or need help in the Feywild.

Fey Mark You were transformed in some small way by your stay in the Feywild and gained a fey mark.

Your skin sparkles with faerie dust

Feywild Visitor Whenever you’re sound asleep or in a deep trance during a Long Rest, a spirit of the Feywild might pay you a visit, if the DM wishes it. Determine the spirit’s form by rolling on the Feywild Visitor table. No harm ever comes to you as a result of such visits, which can last for minutes or hours, and you remember each visit when you wake up. Conversations that occur with a visitor can contain any number of things, from messages and insights to nonsense and red herrings, at the DM’s discretion. Such conversations are always conducted in a language you can understand, even if the Feywild visitor can’t speak that language normally.

RACIAL FEATURES

Breath Weapon (2/2 per long rest). When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Chromatic Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Damage Resistance. You have resistance to cold damage.

___________________________________________________
CLASS FEATURES

Bardic Inspiration (3/3 per long rest) 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. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Jack of All Trades Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn’t already include your proficiency bonus.

Song of Rest Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest by spending one or more Hit Dice, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

Cyran Astrucia - Elf Cleric of Darach-Albith character sheet

Cyran greets all of the newcomers. It looks like we are forming a new party here. He says a short prayer of welcome to each of them as he introduces himself.

"Let the blessed light guide you."

He offers each of them some wine, but stays close to Clarabelle and supports her decision. He explains what we had found looking into the siblings' contract.

"We talked to the siblings already. Their contracts stipulated that we would have to pay them if the other found the contract first. We shouldn't go near that job."

However, he is intrigued when the man named Roth claims to have a map of the caves.

"I'd love to see your map, Roth. Clarabelle, maybe we'd have more success there if we knew where we were going. But I'm also fine helping the sheriff or looking for this Q."
