Besides beer, i am looking for adventure you see, and after a brief introduction the conversation led to Vah'Lor talking about he's history:
"He never cared for money, shiny gems and the search for power, needless to say, he was considered lazy by he’s fellow Dwarfs. Why would some one work so mutch for richness only to lay dead somewhere, after all death comes to us all, rich or not, Vah’Lor aways thought to himself. He was a strange Dwarf indeed, nothing would motivate him at all, he just worked enouth to pay some beer at local tavern and spend time with his friends. Life continued like that for long time until he got bored of it. One day a the local tavern the unexpected happened to him, he paid attention to the conversation of those crazy adventurers who sough for wealth, power and other dwarven things. But what caught he’s mind was the enthusiasm they had about their adventures (You see, Vah’Lor’s life was easy and confortable, but lacking in enthusiam and histories to tell or to talk about with his friends, suffice to say it was a boing life. Needless to say he went on to have chat with those adventurers, he was amazed by what they had lived, although a dangerous life, it was something he was willing to try for himself."
And that's what brings me to the Sleeping Goat inn, the desire of adrenaline, life, friendship and beer, lots of beer.
OOC: it is not the Sleeping Goat inn anymore, it is the hanging chicken due to some crazy shit ^^ (the Inn ran amok after a crazed wizard gave it chicken legs. the adventurers finaly manage to stop it on the bridge between the peaks. Now it is sitting on a ledge, its legs dangling in the air. there of the hanging chicken.) later all of the adventurers headed out on different adventures. in the last update a portal opened up in the Inn and giant tentacls attacked the barowner and some of his old crew. ^^ and that is pretty much what has gone down so far.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As i woke up and headed downstairs for breakfast i see two tentacles fighting Aemis and in Thanicles (Crazy Wizard?)
Screaming: Fer my black beards and hairy chest, we are going to have some octopus meat fer breakfast lads!!!
I cast Bless (Target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw.)in Aemis and Thanicles and in myself (could not bring bless tolltip to work).
Aemaris spots in a huff he speaks to Vah’lor: ‘’Loud dwarf would you mind giving us a hand.’’ he then continues to speak to himself ‘’ I’m really rusty with these spells’’ he starts casting another fireball he opens his hand as the flickers of flames start to clash and creates his third fire bolt. He then grabs a moonshine bottle chucks it in the portal ‘’third times the charm..or they say’’ and shoots the fire bolt right behind it hoping for that extra umph
Attack: 6
Range: 3
OCC: I’m not sure if I can do two actions like in my scenario. If not then i’ll go with the moon shine throw

What's your total roll? 1d20+ proficiency bonus+ dexterity bonus.+ 1d4 from Vah'Lor's Bless spell
The barrel tossing continues, as Gavin hurls another one through the Portal...
"The last of me Grandfather's Christmas special...ya' Bastard!"
Another thunderous burp from the portal, and one of the Tentacles lets go of Thanicles. The other one, on the other hand, swings towards Aemis...does a 16 hit you? If it does, Aemis takes 7 Bludgeonning damage, and is now restrained! Escape DC 15 (Athletics or Acrobatics).
Thanicles scrambles to the ground, searching furiously in his Bag of Holding....
Aemis and Vah'Lor may take their actions for Round3
As Aiemis is being flung around the Tavern, grappled by the Giant Tentacle, he manages to snag a barrell of Moonshine from the bar counter, and toss it right into the portal! Another burping sound makes the Entire building shake, lasting a solid 6seconds...
"Yes! That's it! Good shot" yells Thanicles, as he reached into his bag of holding, and pulls out a strange metal orb, with a pin attached to it.
"One more! All we need is one more!"
Vah'Lor grabbs the second to last barrel, and throws it with all of his might, but it misses the portal and smashes open against the wall, spilling on the floor...Gavin sheds a tear and prays to Moradin for the useless sacrifice of this 155 year old Mc Kullick's Gold...
OOC: wow, you guys are already connecting through those 6's lol
But Vah'Lor also uses his bonus action to summon his Spirit weapon, and attack the tentacle from a distance, dealing 8 damage to it (By the way what does your spirit weapon look like?)
The Tentacle squeezes Aemis again, Roll Athletics DC 16 or take another 5 bludgeoning damage!
Round 4 Begins
Gavin looks at Aemis and uses his free action to use his Rally maneuver and grant him 4 temporary hit points..."Hang in there lad!"
He pulls out his Dwarven Warhammer, and grabs a very large iron nail, then leaps onto the tentacle (23 Athletics), and proceeds to deliver 4 attacks (2 attacks/turn, uses action surge, and proficient with improvised weapons). He hammers the nail right into the tentacle, and literally "nails" it to the wall, hammering on 3 more times until it is completely stuck to the wall, immobilized....it immediately lets go of Aemis...

#Description
Vah'Lor see's the tear droping from Gavin's eye after the he' disatorous attempt to throw the barrel and he understands the feeling in he's heart. He promises to Moradin that he will pray and get drunk in his honor, when the time comes.
OOC: The spirit weapon is a two headed hammer, each face is an sturdy iron mug, so that in the absence of one, my dwarf could cast spirit weapon and drink beer for a whole minute hehehe, also in the grip and handle there are carvings of fire, plants, animals, water and others representing both life and light. At this time i should mention that my dwarf worship's Moradin (Dwarven deity) and Meryn (Deity of life and light).
#Dialog
Moradin and Gavin forgive me, but i MUST try it again !
Thanicles ! You better be right about this waste of moon shine !
#Action
- Hurl a barrel through the portal (Thinking: Please be a recently made batch, please, my heart won't survive another waste of good moon shine) 19
- Move spirit weapon near the portal, and use it to redirect the barrel to it if needed: 25 Damage 5 (Not sure if legal,just tryng to be creative, if not just move to and atack the tentacle)
Vah'Lohr summons Moradin's strength, and hurls the last barrel of Moonshine right through the Portal. Another thunderous belching sound, and the Tentacles both go limp. Thanicles jumps up in the air in excitement. "Yes! That's it! Now everybody back up!"
Thanicles tosses the Frag Grenade into the portal, then quickdraws a laser pistol and shoots the grenade as it flies in, detonating it right as it hits the portal.
A wave of explosion and debris rocks the entire downstairs of the Tavern! Everyone ROLL a DEX SAVING throw DC 12 to take cover, or take 12 fire damage!
The portal collapses, cutting off the Tentacles Clean...they fall down onto the dining room floor, shaking the entire building as they hit the wooden floor, and collapsing a few floorboards.
Gavin sighs, then stares at Thanicles, pointing his hammer at him, angrier than ever...."You! I told you if we survived this, I'd kick your old wizard bollocks right back to yer' bloody floating tower!"
However, before he or anyone can do anything, another portal opens, and five Men wearing grey cloaks and "futuristic" outfits come out of it. They immediately point at Thanicles..."There, he's out of spells!"
All five fire their strange futuristic weapons, and everyone in the Tavern is now encapsulated in a floating energy bubble, hovering over the Tavern floor.
"Thanicles, you have been found guilty of illegally tampering with the Space-Time Continuum, and smuggling illegal goods across more than 50 different Planes of Existence and Timelines. As Agents of the Planar Rangers of Haba Templa, we place you under custody, and at the Mercy of Norian..you have the right to remain silent, everything you say from hereon now may be used against you in an extra dimensional court of Law....Take him away boys....medic, take care of the injured....(one of them casts healing word on Aemis, who regains 4 hp).
The agents manifest an pair of antimagic restraints on Thanicles, who still braggs as he's being handcuffed and shoved through the Portal.
"Bah, you squares don't have what it takes to TRULY protect the Multiverse. I killed a Great Old One today, what did you pencil pushers do, except bothering an old man while he's trying to do his job? It's okay though, you can send me to dimensional wizard prison, I'll be out in two weeks tops! Ive already escaped 17 times before". As they drag him, he licks a bit of remaining monnshine off the floor and says "Mmmh...Gavin, this truly was your masterpiece!"
The agents turn to all of you and throw some sacks of gold at your feet. "For your troubles...and silence. Sorry you had to be mixed up in all of that. Trust us, the less you know about us, and the old Wizard, the better off you are...he's caused enough trouble around, and he's been blacklisted by the Talaveroth Arcane University years ago....Now, have a good day...and they disappear, leaving Aemis , Vah'Lohr and Gavin . The energy bubbles disappear, and they gently fall back to the tavern floor. Still not sure what just happened, Gavin contemplates the devastation caused by Thanicles to his Tavern (once again). Luckily, the new magical add-ons and unseen servants quickly get to work, and the Tavern seems to just clean/repair itself as everyone recovers from the encounter.
Aemis and Vah'Lohr each earn 100gp from the Planar Rangers!
Well, its been about a month of running/playing "Knights of the Hanging Chicken" on a daily basis, and I truly want to thank everyone that has participated so far. All of you have already affected Talaveroth in more ways than you know, and actually putting my World on here instead of in my chaotic head and giant piles of paper dating back to 2001 has been an amazing exercise!
With 13 active players, we have so far created a very nice palet of characters, alliances and storylines, which has really taken an unexpected life of its own! I myself am really enjoying this, and I think this mass Campaign system is starting to come along nicely, largely thanks to player co-operation , and creativity which I will always try and reward.
If this ever reaches a point where there are Truly too many players for me to handle (4 different sub-campaigns so far), I might be looking for extra DMs to run their own Talaveroth groups, and coordinate with the rest of the Campaign...I'm more than open to the concept.
Yeah, thanks so much for the ride so far! If you need a DM to help out, I'm happy to help.
