Vall had been about to offer a spell he had learned recently when they suddenly found themselves already there.

Slightly disoriented at the sudden change of scenery, yet realizing he should be used to it by now, he takes stock of what was before them.

The gates seemed to be their target, but the surrounding buildings and the small wood might also provide some answers.

Taking a cautious approach you start with the nearest structure, making sure it is free of hazards. It looks like it was once a stable but it hasn't been used in many years. The external structure still stands and there are hints of the interior's former purpose. Crumbled walls, broken timber, and a burnt out fire ring is all you notice.

How do you proceed?

DarkvisionYou 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.[ TranceElves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. Fey AncestryYou have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

ExpertiseAt 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves’ tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves’ tools) to gain this benefit. (Stealth, Athletics, Acrobatics, Perception) Sneak Attack (6d6)Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 5d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.[/ooc] Cunning ActionStarting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action. Fancy FootworkWhen you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal.
During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn. Rakish AudacityStarting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into
battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.
You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don’t need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you. 
Thieves CantDuring your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.[ Uncanny DodgeStarting 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. EvasionBeginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving
throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. PanacheAt 9th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature’s Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.
If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you and can’t make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart.
If you succeed on the check and the creature isn’t hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it. Steady AimAs a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can
use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn. Reliable TalentBy 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10. Feat : SkilledYou gain proficiency in any combination of three skills or tools of your choice. (Nature, Intimidate, Sleight of Hand) 

Magic

Cantrip Known  Booming BladeEvocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 5 feet
Components: V, M (a weapon)
Duration: 1 round
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. 
On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and it becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.
This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.

Equipment 

Consumable (10) 

Potion of Healing A character who drinks the magical red fluid in this vial regains 2d4 + 2 hit points. Drinking or administering a potion takes an action  *2  Potion of Greater Healingregain 4d4 + 4 hit points  Potion of Superior Healingregain 8d4 + 8  hit points  Potion of Fire Giant StrengthWhen you drink this potion, your Strength score changes to 25 for 1 hour. The potion has no effect on you if your Strength is equal to or greater than that score

Common (5)

Uncommon+ (6)

Bracers of ArcheryWondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While wearing these bracers, you have proficiency with the longbow and shortbow, and you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls on ranged attacks made with such weapons. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master's Guide.
These bracers are bulky with hexagon designs along them that do not match any common racial or family styling.
In addition, the hexagons turn blue in the cold or a warm orange in heat. The bearer suffers no harm in temperatures as cold as -20 degrees Fahrenheit or as warm as 120 degrees Fahrenheit.  Headband of Intellect Requires Attunement
Your Intelligence score is 19 while you wear this headband. It has no Effect on you if your Intelligence is already 19 or higher without it  Cloak of DisplacementWondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
This cloak is made of the pelt of a smooth, blackfurred creature. A bone toggle fastens the cloak around its wearer’s neck. Close examination of the gold-embroidered hem reveals a poem that reads (in Common): “Six men in pain; six men rent. Blood, it falls like rain; broken bodies bent. Six men plead; and six men cry; Tearing arm and leg, six men die." 
Ring of Shooting StarRing, very rare (requires attunement) While wearing this ring in dim light or darkness, you can cast dancing lights and light from the ring at will. Casting either spell from the ring requires an action. The ring has 6 charges for the following other properties. The ring regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn. Faerie Fire. You can expend 1 charge as an action to cast faerie fire from the ring. Ball Lightning. You can expend 2 charges as an action to create one to four 3-foot-diameter spheres of lightning. The more spheres you create, the less powerful each sphere is individually. Each sphere appears in an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. The spheres last as long as you concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell), up to 1 minute. Each sphere sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. As a bonus action, you can move each sphere up to 30 feet, but no farther than 120 feet away from you. When a creature other than you comes within 5 feet of a sphere, the sphere discharges lightning at that creature and disappears. That creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes lightning damage based on the number of spheres you created. Spheres Lightning Damage 4 2d4 3 2d6 2 5d4 1 4d12 Shooting Stars. You can expend 1 to 3 charges as an action. For every charge you expend, you launch a glowing mote of light from the ring at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature within a 15-foot cube originating from that point is showered in sparks and must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d4 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one Charges 6/6
Wand of Lightning BoltsRequires Attunement by a Spellcaster This wand has 7 Charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its Charges to cast the Lightning Bolt spell (save DC 15) from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 3rd-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend. The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended Charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed. Charges 7/7

Eireann looked over the stable, letting his keen eyes take in the details. Stables were often a place to set a hidden path into or out of a main structure. Good for sneaking out when enemies or angry husbands arrive and when you need a quick exit with your finest mount. Of course, most stables had no such passage.

"Somewhere we can set up camp if we are here over long? Let us hope we don't need it."

Lajal looks around and calls out softly in the words of nature and the wild, "Greetings little creatures that dwell here, pay tell me of the bad things that live here, I have seeds, grains, and fruits"

He studies the little marks around the area, trying to keen the nature of the creatures around and where they leave their little tracks. "Creatures of this area, we wish you no harm, and see you wisdom and knowledge in this area, are there ways down that large folk as we could travel? Could you show us the way" 

He sits down away from the others and carefully and slowly makes some small piles of seeds, grain, and fruit.

Duncan Tallheart

Character Sheet

Duncan made his way alongside Theren.

"I doubt we'll find more than old dung in here, but it doesn't hurt to check it out."

Duncan held his shield in front of him, as he usually did. He had not yet drawn his long magical rapier, as he knew he could buy himself enough time with his shield alone should an enemy appear. After so many adventures Duncan felt far more confident is his fighting abilities... so long as they weren't facing gigantic worms again. That was one experience he hoped to never repeat.

"It looks like somebody was taking shelter here." He said, making his way over to the cold looking fire ring.

 

Abilities and FeatsFighting style: Duelist:
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other Weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to Damage Rolls with that weapon.

Shield Master:
- If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield.
- If you aren’t incapacitated, you can add your shield’s AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.
- If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect.

Sentinel:
- Whenever you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, its speed drops to 0 for the rest of the turn. This stops any movement they may have been taking.
- Creatures within your reach provoke opportunity attacks even if they took the Disengage action.
- When a creature within your reach makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn't have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.

Toughness: Gain +2 HP/ Level

Second Wind: On Your Turn, you can use a Bonus Action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. You must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again.

Action Surge: On Your Turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible Bonus Action. You must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again.

Extra Attack: Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.

Sneak Attack: Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.
You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Indominable: (one use): Beginning at 9th level you can reroll a saving throw that you fail. You must take the result of the new roll. You must finish a long rest to use this feature again.


Battlemaster: Superior Dice - You start with 4 superior dies. They are 1d10 and you use one whenever you use a maneuver. You regain then all when you finish a short or long rest.

Maneuvers:
Maneuvering Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to maneuver one of your comrades into a more advantageous position. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and you choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature can use its reaction to move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks from the target of your attack.

Riposte: When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to make a melee weapon attack against the creature. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.

Parry: When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to reduce the damage by the number you roll on your superiority die + your Dexterity modifier.

Menacing Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Commander's Strike
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and use a bonus action to direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you and expend one superiority die. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack, adding the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.

[Poor_Knight]

This old stable is devoid of any apparent dangers and the fire ring has not been used recently. Lajal's connection with the natural world leads him to a field mouse who is happy to relay what it knows in exchange for food. From it he learns:

Last night I heard noises coming from the house to the west and I saw two boar-faced creatures walking on two legs. 

The tall house to the west frightens me so I never go near it; something isn't right about that place. 

Sometimes, strange howls, unearthly screams, and other sounds can be heard from the big house on the hill.

The nearby woods can be peaceful at times, but at others, the wind rushes through it quite violently. I've heard voices in there that are comforting and frightening at the same time, so I stay away.

How do you proceed?

Lajal thanks the little mouse and gives it some extra food for its help, he then relays the information to the others. "So boar-faced humanoids, anyone knows what or whom they could be? As the others feel unnatural and perhaps linked to the unliving, what are your thoughts"

[cheezal]

"Well i'm not 100% certain,but could be a victim of lycanthrope,i have heard that they effect humans in many different ways and forms ,boars could be one of them?"

"But we should be wary of all many of danger around here,from what Seer said!"

Theren tapped his chin in thought for a moment before shrugging, "He could be talking about orcs. Boar faced could easily just mean the tusks, so that could fit. As for the others.., undead could fit for unnatural, as could demons. Both tend to ward off animals, anything with the good sense to avoid such creatures really. And Seer did mention Oni, so that is a possibility. As for the last one, I think I'm going to bet something fey. Something both charming and frightening would fit right up their alley, well some of them. Hmm.., maybe our Baron made a deal with one of the wild fey..." He added, his tone drifting off as he thought about the chances of such a fey around.

DarkvisionYou 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.[ TranceElves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. Fey AncestryYou have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

ExpertiseAt 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves’ tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves’ tools) to gain this benefit. (Stealth, Athletics, Acrobatics, Perception) Sneak Attack (6d6)Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 5d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.[/ooc] Cunning ActionStarting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action. Fancy FootworkWhen you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal.
During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn. Rakish AudacityStarting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into
battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.
You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don’t need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you. 
Thieves CantDuring your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.[ Uncanny DodgeStarting 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. EvasionBeginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving
throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. PanacheAt 9th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature’s Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.
If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you and can’t make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart.
If you succeed on the check and the creature isn’t hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it. Steady AimAs a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can
use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn. Reliable TalentBy 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10. Feat : SkilledYou gain proficiency in any combination of three skills or tools of your choice. (Nature, Intimidate, Sleight of Hand) 

Magic

Cantrip Known  Booming BladeEvocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 5 feet
Components: V, M (a weapon)
Duration: 1 round
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. 
On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and it becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.
This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.

Bracers of ArcheryWondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While wearing these bracers, you have proficiency with the longbow and shortbow, and you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls on ranged attacks made with such weapons. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master's Guide.
These bracers are bulky with hexagon designs along them that do not match any common racial or family styling.
In addition, the hexagons turn blue in the cold or a warm orange in heat. The bearer suffers no harm in temperatures as cold as -20 degrees Fahrenheit or as warm as 120 degrees Fahrenheit.  Headband of Intellect Requires Attunement
Your Intelligence score is 19 while you wear this headband. It has no Effect on you if your Intelligence is already 19 or higher without it  Cloak of DisplacementWondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
This cloak is made of the pelt of a smooth, blackfurred creature. A bone toggle fastens the cloak around its wearer’s neck. Close examination of the gold-embroidered hem reveals a poem that reads (in Common): “Six men in pain; six men rent. Blood, it falls like rain; broken bodies bent. Six men plead; and six men cry; Tearing arm and leg, six men die." 
Ring of Shooting StarRing, very rare (requires attunement) While wearing this ring in dim light or darkness, you can cast dancing lights and light from the ring at will. Casting either spell from the ring requires an action. The ring has 6 charges for the following other properties. The ring regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn. Faerie Fire. You can expend 1 charge as an action to cast faerie fire from the ring. Ball Lightning. You can expend 2 charges as an action to create one to four 3-foot-diameter spheres of lightning. The more spheres you create, the less powerful each sphere is individually. Each sphere appears in an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. The spheres last as long as you concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell), up to 1 minute. Each sphere sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. As a bonus action, you can move each sphere up to 30 feet, but no farther than 120 feet away from you. When a creature other than you comes within 5 feet of a sphere, the sphere discharges lightning at that creature and disappears. That creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes lightning damage based on the number of spheres you created. Spheres Lightning Damage 4 2d4 3 2d6 2 5d4 1 4d12 Shooting Stars. You can expend 1 to 3 charges as an action. For every charge you expend, you launch a glowing mote of light from the ring at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature within a 15-foot cube originating from that point is showered in sparks and must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d4 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one Charges 6/6
Wand of Lightning BoltsRequires Attunement by a Spellcaster This wand has 7 Charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its Charges to cast the Lightning Bolt spell (save DC 15) from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 3rd-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend. The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended Charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed. Charges 7/7

Eireann frowned

"Orcs would be wishful thinking I bet. Demons or wereboars. Neither are much fun to deal with, I bet. I will go take a look at this western house"

Eireann sneaks up towards the house, and tries peering inside any window or doorway he might find.

Vall offered the mouse a goodberry for it's assitance, relaying through Lajal for it to eat it before the night ended.

Reviewing what they'd learned he agreed, especially about the idea of Fey potentially residing in the wood. And Fey could often be reasoned or bartered with, and could very likely provide even more intel on the tower.

 

Crunch

Huh. Apparently if you timeout the new 'post a reply' it doesn't error out or give you a 'warning, not submitted' thing (while helpfully giving you that one last chance to copy the raw bbcode for your entire post)... Now it just eats it. With no notification whatsoever.

Fun.
