Reuniting the Band

If anyone wants to cast /do anything and requests Darkeness removed Trolkarl will drop concentration 

Chadwick is just going to run into the darkness and start swinging. Can't see anything going wrong there.

(Yes that would be helpful unless you are going to solo it)

The IS attacks Trolkarl, to hit = 19 and 22 for 14 slashing damage total.  It the engulfs Trolkarl with a vortex.  DC14 CON save = 14.  He resists the effects.

Starker to act.

Starker over TheCompanyNet:”I would like to cast Fireball, but I need to see those I want to exclude from the calcining purifying flames. When the darkness is dismissed I will briefly leave the confines of the Hut to rain fire on our foe.”

<holds action and movement until the darkness drops or another enemies presence is detected.>

Chadwick to act

Dropping concentration, I think no reaction is required

The Darkness effect ends revealing Trolkarl fighting an unseen adversary.

Starkers reacts with a Fireball excluding Trolkarl and Starker’s backup spellbook.  DC17 DEX save = 8, failed.  24 fire damage.

The construct spirit closes on the IS.

Chadwick to act.

Chadwick takes a double move to get up to Trolkarl and BA to use LOH to heal him 15.

Spirit guardians does 19 damage to the US unless it makes a 13 WIS save.

DC13 WIS save = 21.  The IS takes 9 radiant damage.  Trolkarl is healed 15.

Trolkarl to act.

Attack action- now w disadvantage 

1- 23/23 damage = 12 radiant 

2-28/13 guessing this misses

plus Sap, which I always forget to mention 

Sap. If you hit a creature with a Longsword, that creature has Disadvantage on its next attack roll before the start of your next turn.

Trolkarl’s first attack his the creature.  It folds in upon itself disappearing with a quiet “pop.

Starker:”These creatures are often summoned on to this plane in order to stalk individuals or groups.  One of our old acquaintances must be very interested in taking revenge.”

The invisible stalkers are dispatched.  Two of the horses bolted and are recovered with Freya’s help.  The night returns to its normal routines as the trees set ablaze by Starker slowly burn out.

/plans?

/OOC is anyone else NOT receiving email notifications? I have rechecked options, but I'm getting nothing for the last few days.

Good point on us being hunted Starker.

A consequence of this may be that other we care about are put at risk by meeting with us. 
Consider what happened when Alamnal sent the bounty hunters after me, they attacked everyone that was near me. If we meet our contacts at the mine for instance, they may become targets or perhaps bait to lure us. 
We need to be careful until we discover who is behind this attack and the ship following us to Waterdeep. 

Xymox:  "My friends, as Trolkarl destroyed that creature, I saw its eyes as it disappeared.  They belonged to the wizard we fought on the mountain...Monlor the Tempest.  I'm sure of it."

Starker, looking around for and retrieving Cyrus’s vest, fez, and scalpel: ”Cyrus’s injury had two unfortunate effects. It exhausted me; I will need several days to recover. Also, the monkey is dead.  I will need to conjure a new one. Each one has a slightly different appearance and personality. Do not be alarmed … they inevitably like mangos and murder.  It will be fascinating to see if some or all of Cyrus XVII’s acquired traits are ‘inherited’ by Cyrus XVIII.”

Kragen frowns at Starkers characterization on the tiny monkeys preponderance for mangoes and... murder. Kragen cant help himself but think the monkey/s maybe inheriting traits from their progenitor? 

Then shakes that thought off, Starker has conducted himself admirably... most of the time.

Walks over to Starker, reaches up and grasps his head firmly in both hands, somewhat too firmly you observe.

"I am sorry you have lost another... Friend. Let Tyr provide some respite from the grief and pain you may be felling Mage Starker." Kragen begins a prayer to Tyr. "Recieve Tyrs blessing and vitality that you may rise up and meet the day anew."

MA Greater Restoration L5 - remove 1 level of exhaustion

You touch a creature and magically remove one of the following effects from it:

• 1 Exhaustion level
• The Charmed or Petrified condition
• A curse, including the target’s Attunement to a cursed magic item
• Any reduction to one of the target’s ability scores
• Any reduction to the target’s Hit Point maximum

"I agree Trolkarl, this presents a problem we may not want to expose the Stonejaws to. Let us continue to Shalecliff and confer with Cleggor."

then looks to Xymox. "The list of Judgement grows, it seems Bard. Monlor the Annoying Drizzle has made the list." Smiles fondly, thinking of Craddock the Coward and his timely demise.

Starker:”Thank you, Father Kragen.  I feel much better. And thank you for your kind words about my familiar. He was indeed efficient and utile.”
