Chronicles of the Accursed Campaign Thread (Group 1)

Realizing the fiendish beast seems to resist their attacks, the red-haired Half-Elf decides to strike with magic, swiftly cursing the beast before unleashing a fiery red beam of eldritch crackling force against it.

Bonus action: Hex (Str)
Eldritch Blast: 8 Force: 10 Necrotic: 4

It probably does not matter, given the low roll, but Yasmina is blessed, she can add 1d4 to her attack rolls (ditto Cal and Zander).

Looks like we're back to the top of the round!

Duwamilly's bell was her action for Round 2, so Cal & Zander up (remember that you both are blessed, you can add 1d4 when you roll an Attack Roll - or a Saving Throw as well, though I hope we don't have to roll another one anytime soon)

Zander will continue his forward momentum to be to the NE of the beast and attack with Snicker. He raises it high over his head and with a spin he brings the blade down on the beasts neck. 

He will then Action Surge and spin around the other way to bring the blade alongside and hopefully through the creatures neck. 

(NOTE: Snicker ignores Slashing resistance)

Action - Attack: 21 Damage: 12

Action Surge - Attack: 14 Damage: 15

Don't forget to add the d4 from Milly's bless!

As Zander takes his two slashes Cal will slash at him and if it hits he will pump divine fury into the blow. 

attack: 17 + 4

damage: 9

fire damage: 7

divine smite: 22

Bless: 4

The monster screeches in pain... but it's still up, and ready to retaliate! It strikes back twice... twice against Cal who just hit it with the agony of holy fire...

Bite attacks:
Attack: 10 Damage: 10 (piercing)
Attack: 22 Damage: 6 (piercing)

Looks like it actually dug its teeth in with one of the bites...

Initiative:

Yasmina

Cal - 6 damage

Duwamilly

Zander

Monster - 92 damage... also, blue and looks like one more hit will probably put it down.

Delvindra

Lord Amir

Delvindra, please finish it off!

Delvindra moves with the fluid grace of flowing water and the force of a crashing wave. Her entire body in harmony as she brings it to bear against the fiend...

For those who have become familiar with her katas, it's clear to see traces of them in her movements in much the same way that one understands the connection between a gentle rain and a raging storm.

Action: 9 Damage: 6

Bonus Action: 10 Damage: 7

Flurry of Blows: 12 Damage: 4 & 12 Damage: 7

Even with the reduced effect, the tiny tiefling's punch is just enough to push the fiend over the edge... with one last howl, its soul sinks back into the Abyss...

The kobolds, who were previously jeering and shouting, are silent now. Many tiny draconic mouths hang open in pure shock at the swift and brutal execution of the powerful fiend. At last, Zolgu speaks.

"The strangers have proven themselves after all," he says, sounding almost disappointed. "So be it! Take this scale as your prize..."

A small (even by kobold standards) female enters the arena meekly, clutching a single white scale nearly as big as her head. She approaches and holds the scale out to whoever wishes to take it.

"Soon these strangers shall go forth to spread the glory of the dragons to every corner of the world... but tonight we must feast to show them honor for their devotion that allowed them to perform this feat!"

Duwamilly is jubilant: "Well done kids! We've shown everyone that you don't mess with us!" and as she approaches Cal, discreetly places a hand on his wound, and murmurs under her breath a brief invocation to Garl Glittergold.

Thanks to Duwamilly's Cure Wounds, Cal regains 5 HP

Almost forgot... 650 XP for each of you!

The gnome cleric winks at the healed giant, then approaches Delvindra and exhorts her: "Come on, Delvindra, honey! You slew the vile beast, take custody of the dragon scale for our lord".

The ex-Preceptor also tries to boost the kobolds' enthusiasm: "Yes, the Great Wyrm is right! Celebration time!" and she starts chanting "Celebrate good times, come on! It's a celebration... Celebrate good times, come on! Let's celebrate..."

During the celebrations, Duwamilly continues to try to keep the kobolds' morale high. She not only continues to readily offer hot coffee to chase away the cold and humidity of the cave, but even goes so far as to improvise a song about a fervent disciple of Kurtulmak who, in a moment of difficulty, was giving in to despondency... he prayed his god and he made him meet a group of Bacchae kobold girls! The discomfort soon passed...

Giggling, adorned, riding, laughing girls,
luminous in the twilight evening,
reflected glamour of luxurious dresses,
twirling with overjoy.

Kissing undying rapture,
they ultimately left
making a Kurtulmak zealoth
enjoy real optimism!

The ex-Preceptor tries to convince as many kobolds as possible to sing it with her!

The massive djinni scoffs, clearly unimpressed and certainly disappointed in the brief combat, glancing over at Yasmina to see if he could simply take out his frustration on the spectators, but the red-haired Half-Elf prudently shakes her head in response, so the djinni sulks and floats over to the Half-Elf's side, staying wary for any opportunity to fight some more.

Yasmina returns the Tiefling's smirk and floats over to accept the white scale from the Kobold's hand. "Thank you for this honour great Zolgu, we are pleased to stay as your humble guests before we return home." She says with a graceful curtsy to the Kobold.

Later Yasmina would keep a low profile, wary of any shenanigans from the vile kobolds and watchful for opportunities to gather more information about the dragon and it's lair.
Lord Amir would be more inclined to partake in the festivities, conjuring a feast with wine for all to enjoy before eventually returning to his extradimensional palace.

Anyone who wants to investigate the kobolds and their master an Investigation check.

Other than that, I guess take a Long Rest so Zamder and Cal can level up :)

Yasmina investigation: 18 Another roll if the invisible Al-Asfeh is allowed to help: 11

Quote from Oberon99 >>

Yasmina investigation: 22 Another roll if the invisible Al-Asfeh is allowed to help: 17

Duwamilly will find a moment to help with Guidance if asked - or if she understands that Yasmina is up to something (+1d4 to the roll).

[[ OOC: Long rest sounds good; just out of curiosity, how it is the atmosphere? Do the kobolds celebrate gladly? ]]
