Mazra's Sunless Citadel Campaign

(do we know who Belak is? Trying to work out if I've just forgotten) 

(From previously:   "I am Erky, Erky Timbers.  Thanks for the rescue," he says.  Then the Gnome responds to GLYNT, "Denier has sustained me, and the Kobolds as well.  That is unless you have an ale in your backpack, or perhaps a beef rib in your pocket."  He then respond to the other parts of your questions, "Ahh the Humans, the goblins caught three of them over a month ago, and they were captives with me in here for a while. They said their names were Talgen, Sharwyn, and Sir Braford. The goblins kept them in here only about a week before they removed them. Belak wanted them, and that’s the last I’ve heard about that.”  He then sighs, "As to what is going on here, I’ve heard the goblins talk about the Twilight Grove down below. A wicked old human called Belak—a spellcaster, I suspect—tends an enchanted garden and harvests fruit from something the goblins call the Gulthias Tree, but they speak of it only in the most terrified of whispers. The enchanted fruit grows on the Gulthias Tree.”)

Knods at Durchina, dolkek. Welp who's first? 

"Erky, Ask this one where the body of the human they killed is."

"I think they eat him."

"Shall I go first, or do you think I would be more helpful up here?"

"Might be worth asking, hopefully we could at least get the bones to give back to their Mother."

ERKY asks the female Hobgoblin.  “She says, there are no remains.”

(OOC - I could not find the body in the adventure, or a logical location for it.  Unlike the remains of the one with Mama Rat.  But that one was in the Adventure.)

(No one willing to go down the Rabbit Hole?  You'll be late.)

Xanth will go first. Unless someone needs his help up here.

I'll grab hold of a strong looking vine and start my way down.

Portia will bring up the rear

The vines obscure everything until XANTH reaches the bottom.  Luminescent fungus, shedding violet light, clings to the walls and ceiling of this wide cavern. The air is damp, chilly, and redolent with the odors of loam and decay. A layer of earth, mixed with rotting vegetation and the remains of cave animals, covers the floor. Several varieties of mushrooms and fungi grow on the detritus, as well as a few saplings.  Four robed Skeletons with shovels and rusted wheelbarrows are spreading compost on this odd fungus garden.  Recognizing that XANTH is not a Goblinoid, a wooden shrub comes alive and attacks the barbarian once he is firmly on the ground.  Three other wooden shrubs come alive as well.

(Map updated!)

(For clarity:  RAGDOR has 10' of movement to be down.  ERKY and GLYNT have 20' of movement to be down.  And PORTIA has 30' of movement to be down."

PLANT CREATURE 1 ATT 5 DMG 3

ROLL FOR INITIATIVE

(Double Movement cost to go the remaining way down.  You will need to be on the ground to take further actions.)

PLANT CREATURES' INITIATIVE 3

SKELETON INITIATIVE 4

ERKY INITIATIVE 18

Int roll 4

Glynt Initiative 7 

Action: Go Down the Vines

I didn't manipulate my Dice Roll.
I also didn't roll a 23, it should be a 15

They really can't seem to get Dice Rolls working properly.

(on mobile so not checked map). Portia will nimbly slide down the vines (bonus action dash) a once on the floor, will stab her magical dagger to a bush that's in melee with someone else. 15 to hit, 9 damage (which includes 3 sneak attack. A low roll of a 1 and a 2 on 2d6)

Initiative = 11

ROUND ONE

ERKY 18 PLANT 16 GLYNT 15 SKELETON 12 PORTIA 11 XANTH 11 RAGDOR 4

ERKY climbs down and sees the attacking bush.  Suddenly a blue-white light streaks toward the vegetation and freezes the first PLANT to death.  ATT 25 (Nat 20) DMG 8*2=16

The second PLANT moves and attacks ERKY.  ATT 7 DMG 3

The third and fourth PLANTs dash toward the party.

GLYNT touches ground.

(Glynt can still act in the Round.  I will wait for his action(s).  Everyone else can post planned actions or adjust upcoming actions.)
