Necromancer's Delusion-Homebrew

(Hopefully I'm within 160 feet of the next tower?)

"What the hell was that?"  Aryn says telepathically to her brother.  "You should lead with that next time."  Aryn and Calypso will move and hover over the back of the last tower for a split second then she'll drop the bundle aiming for the open back of the tower near the base.  If there is any movement left she'll move further east and begin to head off the fleeing orcs.

"I didn't know that would happen."  Gaelin responds.  As he and Valeera make their way west over the wreckage of the first tower he'll look down at the ground and cast Animate Objects targeting ten axes and command them to attack the fleeing drekthar.  He'll direct Valeera to descend and tell her to scorch the earth.

Jinara seeing Doomtail take more damage than expected, tells him to disengage and fly vertically. Jinara himself flies his 30 feet towards Doomtail. He then pulls out his wand sends 5 charges of magic missiles one at each of remaining goblins as a means to add distraction while DoomTail gets away.

Torq will head 120ft NE towards the horse and call for Night Dream to meet him in the air. 

Mucor's blood erupts into a noxious cloud that chokes as he spins and unleashes another beam of sunlight that burns 7 orcs.  Button pops up from Mucor's back and extends his arms out piercing two orcs through the chest.  His arms retract bloodied as the orcs collapse to the ground. The five remaining orcs from the south rush forward and attack Mucor with their axes. Torq rushes northeast as Night Dream slowly gains on him.  Doom Tail shake his head as he hear Jinara's command and charges forward ripping the head from one goblin then grasping two others in his claws before flying up into the air and dropping the skewered goblin corpses on the two survivors.  Between the magic missiles and Doom Tail's assault, all five goblins lie dead on the ground.  Doom Tail descends and next to Jianra and nuzzles him before simply saying, "Together".    The northern horde sprints towards the treeline that is about 80 feet away.

Gaelin peers down at the corpses of the orcs and commands their axes to awaken.  The weapons suddenly sprout wings and immediately begin attacking the nearby orcs killing  4.  Valeera move slightly south and releases a spray of fire that chars a line in the ground killing all caught in the blast while Aryn and Calypso maneuver themselves into position.  Once over the tower Aryn drops the bundle and it falls to the ground impacting with a thud, then a half second later , THWOMP!  as the alchemist fire instantly ignites combined with the oil for a huge explosion.  The bottom of the tower explodes outwards scattering debris into the nearby orcs who who get consumed in the flames.  The top of the tower caves in upon itself leaving only a smoldering pile of wood and metal.  The horde continues their mad dash for survival avoiding the burning wreckage as they sprint towards the forest.

Damage: Mucor-   7

Lightbringers!

Map:

Mucor con save! 14

Mucor would continue to unleash spores on his enemies as he swings around in an attempt to rake his sunbeam across any orcs that survive the spore clouds surrounding him. "Thanks buddy..." Mucor would grunt glancing back to the mushroom. If all the orcs were dead, the minotaur would begin running towards the fleeing orcs.

(OOC: So Mucor has Gauntlets of Ogre Power and I he isn't using it currently... so if our bird friend would like it he can have it since he seems to be very melee focused... otherwise can I give them to Button?)

 Sunbeam con 18 or take 35
Spores con 18 or take 7
More spores con 18 12

Aryn will draw her swords and tell Calypso to descend onto the horde in sweeping attacks.  "Let's kill what we can then head back to the tower. We still have two more camps to attack."  Aryn says telepathically to the group.

Attack:  25    26    11

Damage:   8    2          5   1            7    5         (sneak)     19

(I think I'm already stronger than those would make me, but thank you  for the consideration.  Button is the mushroom groot-like thing right?)

Torq will continue his course and mount Night Dream as he catches up.

(Button is a poisonous mushroom brought to life using the awaken and through lots of RP has and GM kindness.. has grown strong enough to murder orcs with groot-like abilities :D)

(I think to think of Button as toddler groot with a mushroom head.  :)   )

Gaelin and Valeera will follow Aryn's lead and dispense of as many drekthar as they can.  Gaelin will command the axes to continue their attacks and send 3 Eldritch Blast bolts at different orcs.

EB damage:  9     1      6

(OOC I drew this.. it was baby Button... when he was first awakened... he is much bigger now.. he started our a few inches tall and is now like.. 3ft?)

(For the sake of time...  hope everyone had a great weekend!)

Mucor & Button manage to dispatch all of the orcs surrounding them through spells, spores and poisonous spines.  The vast majority of the northeast horde manages to escape into the forest but Stonewing slays a few with his talons and beak as they rush by.  To the east Valeera, Aryn and Gaelin eliminate the fleeing horde to the southeast but the goblins and orcs to the west make it to the forest in the north.  Both groups make their way back to the tower landing to rest and load the griffons up with new bundles.  The burning pyres of wreckage illuminate the horizon to the northeast and northwest as you look back into the darkness.  

"Well done.  We'll have your griffons ready in a few minutes."  one of the mages says before asking.  "Do you require anything else?"

"Can we get some healing for our griffons and more crates of alchemist fire and oil?"  Aryn asks before saying, "We may want to collectively attack the other camps.  It would allow us to knock out almost all of the siege engines with 2 attacks as opposed to many depending on how many targets their are."  

"That would allow us to remain out of the range of the drekthar below but the last camp may evacuate their camp and flee into the forest all together, leaving nearby villages in danger, like with Traes.  If the fourth camp doesn't abandon their camp after we destroy the third attacking as one group would be best.  I'm fine with either method.  Whatever we choose we should be quick about it because the other camps are probably aware something is up."   Torq replies as he works on securing the bundles onto Night Dream's saddle.

(Too short of a weekend!) 

Gaelin would wait to see if any healers were coming, then if none appeared he would use his staff to cast Mass Cure Wounds on the damaged griffons healing:  25.    "I think it would be best if we stick together.  It'll make things much quicker for sure, and if we need to form a hunting party we can." he adds as he grabs a few crates of his own and tells the mages to prepare another salvo of bundles for another assault.

Jinara says "agreed. Surprise is gone. Strength comes now in our collective abilities."

The mages nod and send magical messages.  A few minutes go by as you load up your griffons before 4 individuals dressed in similar white and blue robes enter and begin casting healing spells on each of the party.  You each are healed:  28.  As the acolytes and priest turn to leave a group of mages enter carrying crates and nets and begin preparing another group of bundles.  "These should be ready by the time your back."  one mages says as he hands crates over to Aryn individually.    You take another 3-5 minutes to finish preparing and take flight heading into the cool night air.  The burning wreckage still visible on the horizon.  As you climb higher you begin to notice a familiar blue aura far to the east and recognize the early signs of the sun rising.  You know you have about 30-45 minutes before the sky will be fully illuminated.  

(Are you going to the east or west camp in the middle?)

Roll stealth and perception!

mucor would swirl his staff while casting pass without trace before taking to the air as a cloud of spores settles over the group.

stealth! 14

perception 15

(ooc I have had the stomach flu the past few days so that had been great lol.. also did we get a long rest? cause Mucor has like no spell slots)

(Oh no!  I hope you're at least on the mend.  I don't think we even got in a short rest.  Good thing were all together!)

Stealth:  32

Perception:   22

(Let's go east?)

(Oof.  That's never fun.  Hope you feel better soon.  I don't care what direction we go... maybe west? )

• Stealth:   36
• Perception:   15

(Aryn beat me to it.  East is fine)

Gaelin will use the mass cure wounds to heal the more injured of the group including himself.  Anyone that wants it can take an additional 25 healing.
