bwatford Posted January 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted January 24, 2023 Level 1: Dungeon Level Xaya did a quick investigation of the room but turned up nothing of value or use as Varta moved through the chamber and to the next door and as others readied she opened it to reveal another sixty feet of cut stone that ended at yet another door. The group continued forward to the next door. Once there Varta listened against the coldness of the wood. Hearing nothing she opened it. Headless Statue Half-buried in stone debris at the north end of this twenty-foot-by-forty-foot partially collapsed hall is a headless stone statue of a tall nude woman. Despite the overall thinness of the woman's frame, her figure has round hips that jut out to each side, overly broad shoulders that defy the thinness of her arms, and a broad upper torso with very large breasts, her lower torso has a very thin defined waist. Behind the statue can be seen a recently dug tunnel about three feet wide that worms its way northward. Across from the door that varta just opened can be seen a set of large double doors.

"HAH! If I just eat less bread and more vegetables, I can look just like her. I swear!" The Goliath laughed a bit more to herself before moving on. She was curious about what lay behind the two wooden doors and stopped to listen there, but did not open them because the party needed to decide which door to open. And whether or not to pursue that strange tunnel leading behind the statue. What was that about, anyway? Mechanics Listen at the door. If nothing is there, you can assume Varta opens the wooden door.

"I do wonder about these statues we've been finding," the wizard finally said, "All jokes aside the proportions on this statue make me think it's less a historically accurate depiction of someone and more a representation of something. A fertility goddess, perhaps? Or an artist's own whimsy?" It probably wasn't relevant, but Blue dutifully made notes and a quick sketch anyway before turning to face the doors. "Ah my favorite," Blue said softly, "A fork in the road. Two possible adventures waiting ahead. The infinity of choice reduced to a few simple options. The future balanced as carefully as a dwarven made throwing dagger for just a single moment." Tucking his ink pen behind his ear, the wizard rubbed his beardless chin.

It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points.

bwatford Posted January 26, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted January 26, 2023 Level 1: Dungeon Level Varta moved across the chamber to the set of double doors that had been placed there. She listened at them but heard nothing from the other side. As she did so she remembered a warning that Durnan the barkeep in the Yawning Portal pulled her aside to tell her before her descent. "Remember. There are brave adventurers and old adventurers—but no brave, old adventurers. Be smart down there. Know when to run. Know when there's nowhere to run to." Moss meanwhile moved beyond the statue as he climbed over the ruble that filled the chamber on the north end of the chamber so he could make it over to the recently dug passage. Actually, it was more where someone had cleared a path through the collapse perhaps. He could see where the tunnel went north before turning west and out of sight. A strong earthen smell assaulted his nostrils from the recently disturbed dirt and rock. The passage wasn't very wide, and one would have to squeeze their way through it if they wanted to go that way. He also wandered if perhaps the statues head was underneath all the rubble. It would take them about a half hour or so to clear enough rubble to find out. As the others gathered Varta opened one of the doors to see what was beyond, a hall travelled east before turning to the north and another went south before ending at an intersection that was well lit by two candles that floated gently inside a niche in the wall.

"I think the head of the statue is under here," he says, pointing to the rubble. "It would take a little while to dig it out. Do you think it might be worth it? The statue might like her head back, after all." The druid finds the earthy smell wafting from the tunnel comforting, given the harsh smell of stone that permeates most of the dungeon. He shakes his head though at the thought of attempting to squeeze down the tunnel. "I don't look forward to exploring the tunnel. It's going to be a tight squeeze for me, and probably some of the rest of you as well," he says as he looks at Varta. "The doors are probably a better bet, if we're not going to fix the statue. Fixing the statue would give Blue time to cast his ritual as well."

There was nothing quite like it in all his experience. Though, having seen more possible futures than most, perhaps his experience was less than subjective. "Certainly wouldn't mind a chance to translate this," Blue chimed in with a grin, tapping the line in his notes where he'd recorded the unknown language, "Though whether or not it's useful I have no idea." The wizard shrugged before glancing through the doors that Varta had opened and then north to the tunnel. "A tunnel implies a creator," he said thoughtfully, "but so too does a light source. That said, I do agree with Moss. I'd prefer to have room to move if it comes to a fight. But perhaps it won't?" Blue hummed thoughtfully. "Time to think isn't a bad thing.

Although it actually made quite a bit of sense when you really thought about it. "You guys want me to put the head back on the statue? Or are we too scared to try that?" Mechanics Listen at the door. If nothing is there, you can assume Varta opens the wooden door. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobtheWizard Posted January 31, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 31, 2023 Xaya Nev - Eladrin Artificer 5 (MW Sheet Link) AC: 17 | HP: 42/43 HD: 4/5d8 | Initiative: +2 | PP: 13 | Spell Slots: 1st 2/4 / 2nd 1/2 | Fey Step: 3/3 | Any Cantrip: 1/1 | DM Inspiration: 1/1 Xaya stays in the middle of the room, now keeping away form the statue. She doesn't like the idea of reuniting a cobra head with its body. "Umm. Maybe its head is buried for a good reason. I don't want to have to fight a giant snake lady. Maybe we can just keep moving. Or do you think she might be nice and helpful and that's why someone decapitated her and buried the head?" Sensing her caution, Jax runs over to her and places herself between Xaya and the statue. Jax (Steel Defender) AC: 15 | HP: 31/31 | Initiative: +1 | PP: 16 | Repair: 3/3 Mechanics Main Hand: Greatsword Off Hand: empty Action: Investigation15 Bonus Action: none Reaction: Shield if it would help. Move: none Manipulate: none Defender Action: none Defender Move: none Defender Reaction: deflect attack Steel Defender In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.

The magical mechanisms inside the defender restore 2d8 + 3 hit points to itself or to one construct or object within 5 feet of it. REACTIONS Deflect Attack. The defender imposes disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within 5 feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the defender. Notes Threestrings, Bard in Waterdeep "Could you please deliver this to a female half-drow named Cal'al Claddani, who runs a tavern called the Flagon and the Dragon in Skullport, on the third level? Cal'al provided shelter and healing to a wounded friend of mine and I kind of owe her for it. Once you deliver the pouch, your group will be able to take refuge in a in a place called Dalagor's Fortress, located on the uppermost level of Skullport. A dragonborn mage named Felrax guards the place." Esvele Rosznar, "my brother Kressando. He has gone down to Skullport to conduct secret meetings with the thief's guild there, for nefarious purposes I would assume. He is twenty-two years old and has fair skin, like mine, and real curly hair. Be wary though, he is highly trained in the art of stealth and thievery. He also wears a platinum signet ring bearing our family crest, a diving white falcon on a field of blue. The ring also bears an inscription 'Fly high and swoop swift'. House Rosznar to fulfil that debt. Skullport is connected to level 3 of Undermountain by the underground River Sargauth and by five meandering subterranean passageways: Beggar's Rest Pass, Shadow Pass, Steamfall Pass, Taglath's Gap, and Whisperhaunt Pass."

Gallifrey Posted January 31, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 31, 2023 Admaer "Blue" Azuregift - High Elf Wizard AC: 15 | HP: 28/32 (fey ancestry) | HD: 5/5d6 | Initiative: +2 | Passive Perception: 14 | Arcane Recovery: 1/1 | Portents: 20/13 | Spell Slots: 1st 3/4 2nd 2/3 3rd 2/2 | DM Inspiration: 0/1 Blue smiled at the thought of a statue coming to life. It would certainly be an interesting experience, and one well worth writing about. That being said, there was a tiny chance, almost negligible really, that it could end very badly for all involved if the statue was, just perhaps, evil. Or if not evil at least tragically misunderstood and cursed with a hunger for living flesh, or some such thing. "We could always let the dice decide," the wizard said, reaching with his mind and floating one of the intricately carved crystal dice out from his belt pouch, "Messages from beyond are generally fairly broad, but that doesn't make them useless. Especially if you don't keep pestering the entities that live there." Blue plucked the die from the air and rolled it in his hand, even as his Grimoire snapped open and the pages began turning on their own to the Augury spell, but he held off beginning the ritual, clearly waiting for a consensus.

"It seems a shame to do all that work and leave the poor statue headless," he says to the others. "Reptilian features are not necessarily a sign of nefarious intent. At least, for my own sake, I hope they are not." The tortle rocks back and forth, the only sign of nervousness he betrays. He looks at Blue, hoping the wizard can offer further insights. "The dice might be helpful in our decision-making."
