Masters of Eothia 1-20

"Ghosts are not the scariest thing. Trust me." Crispy mentions casually, thinking of her dead, murdered Father. "But something here scared the shit out of these people."

[most of you, save the eternal Cora Perkins, have probably not encountered ghosts before, unless you can gimme a scenario from your backstory :) ]

Rosli, it appears to be coming from the centre of town... Map incoming if we need it :)

The middle of town has a large round stage made of stone. Stairs lead up to it in a 360° fashion and a tall marble water fountain is situated in the middle. There, on the steps, sits what appears to be a human in ragged clothes. They are hunched over, mumbling to themselves and wailing sadly.

Doesn't seem like they've noticed your presence.

Rosli will whisper to the group "Should we say hello? Something sounds sad." 

Yasei, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness at the wailing stranger, slowly approaches the ragged human with her arms and hands spread out in a "I'm harmless" fashion.  "Hello there?"

Insight check (3) to see if I can tell if the human is truly sad, or faking it to draw us in.

Crispy pushes her way past everyone, clearly not afraid of danger, or wanting to die, either one - and walks directly up to the person and says.

"Alright. What's wrong? Where is everyone?"

Haha okay then.

As this individual turns, you see a face of sheer horror. Words alone cannot begin to describe the spine numbing fear which each of you experience. It takes each of you back initially, as it snarls and Wailes at you! It's like gravity is doubled as the weight of what you're seeing sinks in- the outsides of your vision begin to darken- what the hell IS that thing?

Y'all need to make a DC16 wisdom saving throw against being frightened.

It begins running toward your direction.

17 Wisdom save

As Rosli's tail goes rigid and the hair on her begins to stand she will back away "Oh no oh no oh no... We just wanted to help you!" 

7 Initiative

Nothing scares Crispy: 4

I SAID. Nothing scares Crispy: 4

Initiative: 10

Ok, apparently something scares Crispy. And yes, I ****ed up the dice roller lol

Saving from laughing at 'nothing scares Crispy' = 9

Initiative = 9

....and the nervous laughter commences.

Wis save: 15

Initiative: 10

Well, as per the frightened condition, 

" A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight. The creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear."

The creature stops running just short of you and let's out a cocophenous bellow which doesn't seem natural at all. It sounds like a ship's horn, hurting your ears. At the start of your turn, I need a con save of 16 or you take 10 psychic damage.

Initiative: thing, Cora, Rosli, Dani, yasei.

12 Con save

Yasei's CON save: 6

CON save: 2

****!!!!!!

Luck point.

CON save: 9

Christ, man. Seriously?!

I'm assuming I can't attack it since I can't move towards it.

Your hands tremble from fear- each beat of your heart feels like it’s making your entire body shake. Your ears are filled with the heavy -boom- -boom- of your heartbeat, deafening your to anything else. You cannot bring yourself to attack let alone move any closer to this thing which looks like some scrawny skeletal teenager with a ghastly face!

I forgot to add- you can repeat your saving throw at the end of your turns.

After Dani’s CON save, it’s another round of the same.

The creature backs up slightly, still staring at you each with it’s ghastly gaze!

DC 16 con save at the start of your turns, or take 5 psychic damage. DC16 wis save at the end of your turn to end the effect.

Initiative: thing, cora, rosli, dani, yasei.

Crispy hides behind something, anything, just to not look at such a horrific sight.

So, another CON save?

Con: 2

Round 2

Yasei backs away in abject horror, trying to buy some distance between the freak and herself.

DC 16 con save: 6

DC16 wis save: 17

...

 OOC: Huzzah!  She passed both saves.  Next round, slice-n-dice time.

CON save: 8
WIS save: 4

Cora. Snap OUT of it!
Mother?

Booyeah, mother ****er. Like X-23, Crispy draws her blades, and angrily growls at the creature - and advances rapidly.
