Chronicles of the Accursed Campaign Thread (Group 1)

Okay... so... it looks like Cal, Delvindra, and Zander are all down, and Milly has learned a valuable lesson about being careful where she points that wand lol

Also... mummies 1, 2, and 3 get disintegrated in the fireball as well. Mummy 4 survived with 58 damage. Mummy 5 got by with 'only' 39 damage. And mummy 6 survived with 57 damage.

The mummies fortunately do not immediately descend upon Duwamilly in spite of the fact that she just hit them with a fireball, instead they try to destroy the monster the evil genie that is right in front of them.

Mummy 4 vs. evil genie
Attack: 21 Damage: 11 bludgeoning + 3 necrotic
Attack: 22 Damage: 4 bludgeoning + 7 necrotic

Mummy 5 vs. evil genie
Attack: 17 Damage: 10 bludgeoning + 7 necrotic
Attack: 12 Damage: 4 bludgeoning + 6 necrotic

Mummy 6 vs. evil genie

Initiative:

 PCs are up! Well... Milly and Yasmina are...

Duwamilly declares: "No stupid bully coming out from the ceiling is going to kill my kids... Not on my watch!" and with determination she intones a short prayer to Garl Glittergold, recommending Zander to him... and immediately spreading well-being in the warrior. [[ OOC: This is her bonus action ]]

While the figjter is reopening his eyelids, the gnome cleric has already rushed to Cal's side and administers one of her Potions of Healing. [[ OOC: This is her Movement & Action ]]

So Duwaimlly heals:

7 to Zander
6 to Cal

[[ OOC: @Zander & Cal: so you too can act! Maybe from range, until I can heal you a bit more... But oh, well, up to you ]]

"You are a disgrace even for your kind Maheen, allying yourself with someone like that measly human wizard Firion who runs with his tail between his legs like a cowardly dog."
With a furious rage Lord Amir continues with another quick fierce series of slashes against Maheen with his massive thunderous scimitar.

Scimitar: 22 Slashing: 9 + Thunder: 2
Scimitar: 13 Slashing: 10 + Thunder: 2
Scimitar: 16 Slashing: 14 + Thunder: 2

The Air Elemental servant follows too keeps slamming into the massive Dao from the opposite direction.

Slam: 13  Bludgeoining: 12
Slam: 10  Bludgeoining: 16


Yasmina peeks out and unleashes another beam of blue eldritch crackling force laced with thunderous energies before ducking into full cover again.

Eldritch Blast: 23 Force: 9 + Thunder: 2

Finally Hayya the massive Sand Snake slithers around the Dao and tries to crush it.

Constrict: 13 Bludgeoning: 15 and the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained

(Extra crit damage: 3 )

Zander thinking he had survived the creatures thunders wave was ready to charge at it when all of sudden all he saw was flames. The flames were so hot, like nothing he had felt before. His last thoughts were of Snicker. 'I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you a dragon to fight with and express yourself.' All became black as he waited to see his ancestors. 

"Boy! Boy!" he hear the words but was lost in the blackness. Now, more clearly and in compassion he heard Snicker's voice again. "Zander. It's OK. You're not done yet. Get up, we have a fight to win." With a start he bolted up, he could feel the healing words soothing his aching body. His training kicked in and he was back on the battlefield and ready for action.

BA - Manifest Echo by Maheen. 

Action Echo attack Maheen - Attack: 18 Damage: 18

Zander will heighten the Echo's fury and Unleash  Incarnation with a 2nd attack. Attack: 18 Damage: 17

Even under the effects of the potion, Delvindra's ability to remain on her feet after being ravaged by the Dao's attack seems to be nothing less than an act of sheer willpower.

Willpower...and an insatiable desire for revenge.

The voices howl at her to take her vengeance, to bathe the creature in flames, and she almost gives in to the impulse. The fact that the attack would likely kill Zander and Cal only gives her the slightest of pauses, but it's long enough for a more rational voice to take hold.

It's not her own voice, or the voices of the devils, or even some imagined version of Ilmater.

Of all things, the voice in her head sounds like Milly.

You can banish him.

It's reckless, desperate, and probably foolish. If it fails, there will be no second chances. But as she looks on the shattered bodies of Zander and Cal, and Duwamilly's desperate attempts to revive them while holding the cultists at bay, she knows it's a chance she's willing to take...

(Cast Banish on the Dao, Cha save vs DC16. Rift Step to Milly, Zander, & Cal)

Cha save: 23

Quote from Mister_Whisker >>

Cha save: 23

The Dao laughs at Lord Amir's taunt Delvindra's attempt to banish him.

"Pathetic devil-spawn!" he bellows. "I am not some common beast who can be ordered back to its cage! And I will not be shamed into submission by a Djinni who would join forces with the undead! Firion is only a foolish mortal... but think of the lost treasures from the horde of the Dragon Lord which I shall be able to claim by aiding him! "

Cal is up, followed by Maheen!

Cal will move 10ft from the Dao and use his Channel Divinity: Vow of Enmity as a BA then he will drink the invulnerability potion. Stealing himself for what is to come. 

The Dao is arrogant... but... it turns out he isn't stupid. Enemies surround him on all sides, some of which have done serious damage already. With a booming laugh he disappears. You can hear him moving through the room, but you have no way of knowing where he is...

Everyone who wants to attack him, make a DC 15 Perception check to target the correct location...

Oh also... Milly kind of cast a fireball on the mummies. The three that are not piles of ash are not happy... they're going to turn their wrath upon the party now that the genie isn't standing right there in their midst anymore...

Mummy 4 vs. Cal
Attack: 12 Damage: 6 bludgeoning + 8 necrotic
Attack: 19 Damage: 8 bludgeoning + 2 necrotic

Mummy 5 vs. Air Elemental
Attack: 8 Damage: 5 bludgeoning + 3 necrotic
Attack: 17 Damage: 7 bludgeoning + 6 necrotic 

Mummy 6 vs. Delvindra
Attack: 7 Damage: 4 bludgeoning + 7 necrotic
Attack: 7 Damage: 5 bludgeoning + 11 necrotic

Initiative:

The party and summons are up again!

[[ OOC: OK, first things first: Duwamilly tries to use a scroll of Dispel Magic. She must succeed in an ability check using her spellcasting ability to determine whether she cast it successfully. The DC equals 13. Rolling... ]]

Duwamilly's Wisdom ability check: 5

Duwamilly is annoyed by the disappearance of the Dao... even more so considering that this causes the mummies to change their targets! She at least tries to dissolve the enemy's spell, so that he becomes visible again. She takes out one of the precious scrolls of Dispel Magic that the teddy-bear-angel had given her on Mount Celestia and begins to recite it... But the sight of so many wounded companions evidently compromises her correct understanding of the powerful spell and the magical writings disappear without effect.

The gnome cleric reminds herself: "As in every joke, it's at the end that you laugh!" and she quickly calls upon Garl Glittergold's protection again, healing Cal further.

Duewamilly's Healing Word heals 5 HP to Cal.

As the cowardly Dao tries to flee, Hayya the massive Sand Snake quickly tries to catch him.

AoO
Constrict: 21 Bludgeoning: 13 and the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained

Con save: 12

Withering under the blows of the mummy's fists, Delvindra drops to the ground...

Having the cowardly Dao restrained, Hayya the massive Sand Snake continues to squeeze.

Constrict: 20 Bludgeoning: 14

The Air elemental servant, barely holding together, keeps slamming into the restrained Dao.

Air Elenental (90 - 85)
Slam: 22 Bludgeoning: 14
Slam: 27 Bludgeoning: 18
