Lost Mines of Phandelver by kyleh2486

Morpetor takes a look at the rings and sarcophagi to see what he might know about the family.

History: 6

Gramgran

"Here, let me take a look at those dears. I know a fair few families from my time. Let's see if I can remember this crest." Gramgran will inspect the rings to see if she knows what the symbols are.

19 History

As she's inspecting them, she'll absentmindedly nod and say, "Yes yes, let's go through that door. No stone unturned and all that."

As they are inspecting things, Kim walks over to Yuri, places her hand on his should. When he looks at her sheglances down for just a moment then back at him, "I am sorry I hit you. I usually try to aim that attack a little past the enemy to prevent shards from spreading, but I just wanted to finish the skeleton quick. Forgive me?" The question hangs out, ringing with sadness and hope.

Yuri seems taken aback by Kim's question, she is usually so strong and unapologetic.

"You did finish it. And what shrapnel got ghrough was a small price to pay." 

Placing his hand on her forearm in what he hopes is a gesture of comfort.

"There is nothing to forgive."

19 History

As she's inspecting them, she'll absentmindedly nod and say, "Yes yes, let's go through that door. No stone unturned and all that."

Gramgran realizes the crest is the family crest of the Tresendar family. These undead must have been the first generation of Tresendar's to pass. 

Gramgran 

Putting the rings back she say, “This was the Tresendar family. We shouldn’t disturb the peaceful dead.” After a brief prayer, she look to the group and say, “Now which way everyone?”

"I agree with Yuri, small doors usually lead to less trouble. I can't hear anything on the other side of this one, so seems as good a choice as any." Vah'Lhorn indicates the door in the north east corner. With his shield ready in one hand, Vah'Lhorn rests his other hand on the door waiting for a nod from the party to open and move on...

((OOC @ all - Vah'Lhorn will move into the room, hopefully with Yuri following behind, as soon as he gets some affirmation from the group. So assume that happens and he leads in if anyone else says they enter the room.))

Van'Lhorn pushes the door inward to the quiet unknown room. As soon as he enters, a blade swings Van'Lhorn's way from a Redbrand (1) standing beside the door to the north. Another Redbrand (2) on the other side of the door to the south yells, "you better get out of here!" After swinging his blade, Redbrand 1will take another stab at you. 

First attack: 21 Damage: 6 slashing

Second attack: 16 Damage: 8 piercing 

• Initiative:
• DM - 17
• Grangram - 5
• Kim - 6
• Morpetor - 16
• Vah'Lhorn- 15
• Yuri - 10

• Redbrand 1 - HP 13 
• Redbrand 2 - HP 18 

 Vah'Lhorn is hit hard with both attacks. Blood sprays onto the door in a fine mist. The attack was quick for most everyone to realize what had happened. Morpetor is quickest to recognize the surprise attack from the Redbrands. Yuri and the others are blocked from moving into the room by Van'Lhorn. Morpetor is up! 

• Initiative:

• Kim - 10 

• Redbrand 1 - HP 19/19 
• Redbrand 2 - HP 12/12 

((OOC - Ouch... Like properly ouch! If I hadn't levelled up after the skeletons that would have killed me! Vah'Lhorn is about to do his Hulk impression... After he shifts his butt to let everyone else in! Morpetor, good luck!!))

2 Scenarios:

1 - if Morpetor is able to cast Burning Hands and hit both of the Rebrands (15 foot cone), at first level, he will do that (sculpting the spell around Vah’Lhorn). Den save of 12 Damage 8

Morpetor concentrates, positioning himself in the doorway between the two Redbrands producing a cone of flame out of his hands. Vah’Lhorn is protected from the flame as it swirls around him - warming him, but not consuming him.

2 - if this cone will not reach both, Morpetor will cast Magic Missle at 2nd level with 2 middles directed at each Redbrand  M1 & M2 Damage: 6 M3 & M4 Damage: 7

Morpetor enters the doorway and raises his hands, one toward each Redbrand.  With a quick pulse of his arms, two swirling beams of light and combustion stream out of each hand finding their explosive end with the two soldiers. (M1&M2 at R1, M3&M4 at R2)

OOC - did you need anything else from me? It’s been awhile, and my wizarding is a bit rusty.

Yeah. You're good. Scenario 1 is good to go. I'll update later this evening when I get home. 

OOC - for future reference do I need to roll attack for each missle of magic missle?

OOC: I usually rule it as a seperate damage roll per missile. It seems to me thats how the rules are written. Plus I enjoy rolling dice.

Also, I don't think you can choose for burning hands to go around allies since its a cone shape. We can make it work this time though. Just future reference. 

As Van'Lhorn takes a decent amount of damage, he doubles over from the stab. Morpetor casts burning hands into the room. The fire takes an unnatural path, evading and sweeping around Van'Lhorn. The cone of magical fire is able to strike both Redbrands in the room. They see the flames coming and both attempt to take cover. 

Redbrand 1: 8

Redbrand 2: 12

Both Redbrands are able to evade most of the damaging fire. 

Redbbrand 1 will continue his assault on Van'Lhorn. "You shouldn't have came snooping around, devil spawn." The Redbrand raises his sword and takes another swipe at your arm and finishes off with a jab to the side. 

First attack: 11 Damage: 3 slashing

Second attack: 7 Damage: 6 piercing 

Van'Lhorn is able to evade both attacks from the Redbrand.

Redbrand 2 raises his crossbow and launches a bolt through the doorway, aiming at no one in particular. (If the bolt hits, it'll strike 3 (Yuri-1 Kim-2 Morpetor-3 Gramgran-4)) The Redbrand quickly reloads another bolt standing at the ready. He moves deeper into the room with the wall to his back. 

Attack: 14 Damage: 9

 The wild shot flies past Yuri and sparks against the stone wall. 

Yuri, Gramgran, Van'Lhorn and Kim are up!

I was thinking about the sculpt spells trait. It makes it sound like I can protect my own people that might be in the way. Am I understanding that correctly?

You're right. I totally forgot you can do that with evocation spells. I should know that. I love playing as a wizard. Retcon on that post.
