DragonDenn's Death House 3 IC

Ravo init for next room 4

I've nudged the other players on discord.

4 Larry initiative

13 Karen initiatve

Larry will have spent a third level spell to keep Karen under control.

As they prepare to go into the next room Cora reaches out to see if she can sense anymore Undead in the next room.

Init: 21

Using Eyes of the Grave:

As an action, you know the location of any undead within 60 ft. of you that isn’t behind total cover and that isn’t protected from divination magic until the end of your next turn. You can use this feature 4 time(s) per long rest.

 

(Cora, Ravocrath, Tayret and Zenga: Xap has cast Bless on you. Please try to remember to add 1d4 to all of your attack rolls and saving throw rolls for as long as Xap can maintain Concentration. Sorry Larry, Xap can only upcast to include 5 people and my random die roll dropped you out. <karen> wasn’t in the running.)

Cora senses no undead in the chamber as you enter.

As you step in though two large aborations are what you find...



Cora is up.

Stench. Any creature other than a catoblepas that starts its turn within 10 feet of the catoblepas must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of the creature’s next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the stench of any catoblepas for 1 hour

Map

Cora looks between the two creatures and curses them.

((Casting Bane))

Xap will move to G9 (15’) and smack the snot out of CA2.

Attack: 10 Damage: 9 plus 1 to hit due to bless

Attack: 16 Damage: 6 plus 2 to hit due to bless

PAM Bonus Attack: 28 Damage: 11 plus 1 due to bless

If possible, Xap would like to use his remaining movement (15’) to stay within 5’ of CA2 but keep CA2 blocking any death ray from CA1.

Posting a bit out of turn here

Ravo casts Fireball on I5

Both catoblepas must make dc 16 dex saves or take 36 Fire damage or 1/2 as much on success

(Do we have an initiative order?)

     Zenga will follow behind Xap (to F9 I guess) and attack the same catoblepas using his pact tactic and the closeness of his ally for advantage on his attacks. Zenga will flash out with his short sword twice before following that up with a flurry of blows...

Shortsword Attack: 20 Damage: 9  PLUS 3 to attack roll due to Bless from Xap...

Shortsword Attack: 16 Damage: 6  PLUS 3 to attack roll due to Bless from Xap...

Flurry of Blows Attack: 18 Damage: 7  PLUS 1 to attack roll due to Bless from Xap...

Flurry of Blows Attack: 24 Damage: 7  PLUS 1 to attack roll due to Bless from Xap...

((Wait, death ray?  Did someone mention death ray???))

     Zenga stays there, not wanting to provoke an attack of opportunity.

Cha saves: 1 and 10

Dex saves vs fireball: 4 and 3

Cora
Curses the two abominations, which they both fail to resist.

catoblepas2
Targets Cora with a death ray...
Death Ray (Recharge 3). The catoblepas targets a creature that it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 32 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target instead takes 64 necrotic damage. The target dies if reduced to 0 hit points by this ray.

Xap
Lands three strikes against #2, dealing damage with each.

CA1
Targets Larry with a death ray...
Death Ray (Recharge 1). The catoblepas targets a creature that it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 40 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target instead takes 64 necrotic damage. The target dies if reduced to 0 hit points by this ray.

Zenga
(Yep we do have initiative, which was why I only asked for Cora's action, but I am working with it.)
Lands all of their strikes, injuring the abomination further.

karen
Please post action for Karen and I'll work it in still.

Ravocrath
Sends a ball of fire bursting to hit both of the abominations. Both of them are burned badly, with #2 going down, no longer a threat.

Larry and Karen's actions now please. There is just the one abomination left, so not going to update the map. Please make sure the two targeted by death rays do their saves, as there might be two less of you going into next round...

The enemy is nearest to Karen and Larry right now, about 15 feet from each.

Not updating the map as nothing has changed.

Larry's death save  24

Karen moves to e3 and attacks with her glaive  Attack: 12 Damage: 5

F0llowing this, Larry moves to F5, and casts Inflict Wounds at 1st level, adding Touch of Death if it works.

attack Attack: 10 Damage: 32

(Remember Cora to add 1d4 to your Con save vs. the death ray.)

Karen misses the abomination. Larry though manages to grab the putrid flesh and cause it to screech as it's form turns grayish. It wobbles but remains standing.

Cora and Xap are now up. Still need the death save from Cora.

After Cora’s Con save and attack, Xap will advance on CA1.

Attack: 9 Damage: 7 plus 2 to hit due to bless

Attack: 21 Damage: 7 plus 1 to hit due to bless

PAM Bonus Attack: 12 Damage: 7 plus 3 to hit due to bless

Con Save: 3

Thank the Lord on High for Halfling Luck: 11

Forgot Bless, though it's not going to help much: 4

Con Save for Death Ray Damage, DC 16: 18

Action: Cast Ray of Enfeeblement
14

Bonus Action: N/A

Honestly did not expect bane to stay up with that DC and my luck on rolling recently: changing action to casting cure wounds on myself, 2nd level

15

Cora manages to avoid the most dangerous parts of the death ray, but still takes a heavy chunk of the damage. She lifts her holy symbol to her chest and heals some of the damage.
