Savage Harvest- adventure thread

Sasha searches the bodies and around the throne.
Investigation: 16

"Wow Sasha, that's a cool trick!  Though, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do it to me" 

She follows the rest through the room, checking out the throne as she goes.

Investigation 10

Gerty, don't you want that axe? I think it will look good on you!

"Why not? Perhaps you'll find yourself having a hard time going to sleep one night." Sasha says to Gerty with a smile and a wink, briefly pointing her fey wand at the dwarf as she searches around the throne. "Perhaps someone should tie them up before we move on?"

As Gerty gets a closer look at the axe Gorf was attempting to use, she can see it is well made. The axe head is embellished with silver scrollwork designs containing an image of a human hunter on one side silhouetted by the sun. On the opposing side is a wolf howling in front of a full moon. The silver designs extend a short way onto the handle. What you have found is https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/view?entityTypeId=112130694&id=4910122 

on Dungho’s body Sasha finds a pouch containing 100gp, and on his finger is ring with a Raven engraved on it. Laying next to him is a paper bag that is flattened, and wrapped with a small piece of thread. Looks like the same thing that caused all the smoke, but neatly sitting next to Dungho.  https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/view?entityTypeId=112130694&id=1006864

on Ichor’s sleeping form you can’t really find anything without disturbing his slumber.

As you move about the cavern searching the goblins, you hear a loud crashing sound in the kitchen, it sounds like the pantry door might have finally given way

Go, go, go!

Gerty reaches down and picks up the beautiful great axe.  She admires the carvings and scrollwork design, as well as how it has such a balanced weight to it.  She swings it a few times and a big smile comes across her face.  William yelling, brings her back to reality and holding it grasped in her hands, she follows him toward the hopeful exit.

Luke snaps out of it and draws and draws an arrow

"Coming." Sasha grabs the pouch, the ring and the paper bag and hurries after the others, turning to create a new wall of fire at the closest chokepoint (Minor illusion).

Since you see no way out through the cavern, you head back towards the kitchen. Hoping the force that came through the pantry door went somewhere else. It’s eerily quiet considering a door was just smashed open. Sasha creates the illusion of fire at the entrance to the cavern in hopes of tricking the slumbering goblins if they happen to wake before you make good your escape. Sweat drips down your brows as you peek around the bend in the tunnel towards the kitchen door. It seems like it is still closed, that nobody has come through it just yet. There is a faint blurry residual of the smoke from the bag trick that still lingers in this space.

( let me know if you want to alter your lighting with the lantern or any other precautions as you move about through the dungeons. I am assuming you have full lighting currently)

Luke stays behind everyone keeping quiet, still, and out of their lights 

stealth: 19

Luke, having picked up a good rhythm since entering the well is really beginning to enjoy sneaking through the shadows unseen. The strategic possibilities begin to permeate his being.

you begin to get closer to the kitchen door and there is still no sounds coming from behind it. At approximately 15’ before the door your lantern light reflects back off of 2 glowing red orbs…Eyes of a terrible beast. Out from a slight depression in the wall steps a thing all fear to meet, the bidderboo. Snarling teeth, with blood dripping from them, large clawed hands and those horrible glowing red eyes…it lets out a long howl. It has found its next prey….

Luke stays hidden and holds his arrow until one of his mates are in melee range

For when the arrow flies ( I am going to bed)
Hit: 17
Damage: 5
Sneak Attack:1

"No!!  We almost made it!  Guard Mikel!" and Gerty, finding grasping her new great axe, easily lifts it above her head as she charges the creature and goes to sink it in the bidderboos flesh.

Attack: 12 Damage: 15

Gerty swings her glorious new found axe, the silver shining in the lantern light whizzing towards the wolfman. In a flash, the bidderboo dodges to the side, the axe missing its target. As he avoids the strike, He runs right into Luke’s masterfully calculated shot, the arrow striking into the bidderboo’s shoulder.

(doing 6 dmg)

Out of shock and fear at seeing this terrifying story come to life and the worry of seeing her friend locked in battle with it,  Rikaria puts her hands to her temples and utters strange words none you have ever heard her say before and  she casts the spell Mind Sliver at the bidderboo.

The Bidderboo howls in pain as the psychic energy smashes into his brain.
