Eima doesn't like how much weaker Tymmy is looking. She draws her rapier and comes into melee. "Hey, ye dusty shadow, take this!" However in her eagerness to protect the goliath her lunge catches nothing but air.
Under a few more flurries of blows the last shadow finally gets blasted out of existence!
(combat over)
The runic circle suddenly hisses and flashes with lurid light. As if being extinguished, the glow of the runes dims as shadowy smoke rises from the carvings. The smoke gathers in the center of the chamber, where it coalesces into an apparition of an emaciated skull with one glowing green eye.
The apparition speaks in a hissing baritone. “Good news, Zalryr...Oh what a pity you're dead. But all is not lost it seems, even in death you have brought me new... points of interest.” The apparition swivels to look at each of you in turn. “Yes, there is great potential here. May we meet again—but until then, I have my eye on you.” The apparition then explodes into streaks of shadow, passing through each of you with a whispered scream before vanishing.
Each of you roll any die:
If it is even:
Charm of the Creeping Hand
Supernatural Gift (Charm)
Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an attack roll using a weapon or an unarmed strike, you can infuse your strike with life-stealing energy. Your attack then deals an extra 1d10 necrotic damage, and you gain 5 temporary hit points. Once used five times, the charm vanishes.
If it is is odd:
Charm of the Eldritch Eye
Supernatural Gift (Charm)
You can cast Clairvoyance as an action, without using a spell slot and requiring no material components. Once used three times, the charm vanishes.
(OOC: this concludes the adventure! But we can follow up with your final rp posts if you wish. Lord Neverember is grateful for your assistance and pays you each 100g for the job. There is still much to do later though...Thank you all for sticking with it! It's nice to get to the end of something! :) )
[[ Yep. Nice to see the natural end of something. Was nice to have a little one-shot and hope you enjoyed running it. ]]
Eima looks around perplexed as her trigger/sword-hand gains necrotic sigils. "Well, guess these can come in handy on the next mission." She looks to Tymmy and asks, "You alright there, big guy? Those shadows seemed to weaken you a bit." To the rest, "Well that skull apparition wasn't creepy at all, eh?" she chuckles a bit forcefully.
Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
IF you are interested in doing the actual Vecna adventure let me know. I haven't 100% decided yet but it would be nice to know. Otherwise see you in the forums!

I for one would be 100% down if the group was interested, but if you end up not doing it I completely understand. Thanks for doing this and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

“I’ll be okay I just need to lay down for a couple days,” Tymm says weakly as he staggers out of the room, his large feet practically dragging on the floor, “And maybe a nice bath in some water monster guts…”

[[ With doing Eve of Ruin, would have to think on that. Currently in an Eve of Ruin campaign PBP. (Cyreon is also in it.) So, for me, partially depends on how different two experiences might be. ]]
Tez still shakes from the experience and nervously charges his staff with lightning whenever a shadow so much as flickers the slightest around him, "You bet! Never had I thought that shadows would jump into existence and battle! And then this creepy skull... Let's get out of here and into the sun... I need to something to feel that I still live... And you, Tymm, you look worse for wear, let me buy you a drink and get some colour back into your face."
Totally agree! Feels nice to have finished an adventure for a change - I think this is my first time for that particular achievement with PbP.
Thanks everyone! I'm already in an 'Vecna: Eye of Ruin' campaign, so I'm not sure that it would be fair for me to participate in the same one again. I would, however, be willing to continue with Tez in another adventure or module if you find that that would be interesting to you.

(I gotcha! With a couple of you in one already I won't specifically take you in one unless you really want to later. I'm still deciding but if you see me post it and want to jump in that'd be fine! Again, ty all and hit my up anytime for something! :) )
