Parths' Adventurer Training

OOC: This is definitely over the top, but Wormsquirt thinks it's the best idea ever. It's also, I would like to think, one of the reasons that Wormsquirt was ostracized from his clutch... he pranked the wrong kobold one too many times.

It's totally over the top... love it. One issue is that Wormsquirt could be damaged by sacred flame. I would suggest Belialuin cast firebolt after the minor illusion of the dragon roar so there's no risk to Wormsquirt but it's up to you guys.

OOC: Yeah sure but the Firebolt comes from the hands so it's not likely to fool. It's a cantrip anyway :) . By the way, did Belaluin learn anything from the thinner stranger book that Parth gave to him ?

Belialuin puts his hands over everyone and says in a very happy voice "So we're doing this guys? Let's start the party. Me, Wormsquirt and Mysti are going ahead until we are in distance to perform our trickery, followed by Zarbof, Roger and  Thorum Closely. Then on the signal from Mysti we observe and perform the following actions. Wormsquirt rushes out in an angry blood-soaked, muded form and I cast the Illusion so that the Dragon roar comes as he opens his mouth, with a subsequent  Sacred Flames from Mysti  that go in from of WormSquirt but far enough not to damage him. Let do this ?"

With these Belialuin draws his dagger and does a small cut on his hand and downs the blood in His Waterskin and gives it to Wormsquirt. "This is worth suffering some damage "

Thorum will nock an arrow just in case this performance goes south. 

“  Erevan Ilesere is te elven god of mischief and I believe he smiles on you today. Onward sir Wormsquirt, may your heritage shine bright today!”

So I've been thinking of how to actually play this out. The bears have a passive perception of 13 and you folks are lucky that I've been giving them disadvantage since they're focused on each other and the food or they would have detected you while you were discussing the plan :)

But they have a -4 on INT checks (for illusion) I think with the added addition of Wormsquirt running up bursting into flames that warrants disadvantage on their saves against illusion.

So Wormsquirt goes running in while Belialuin casts minor illusion to make him roar like a dragon as Mysti cast sacred flame.

I'll need a DEX save (13) from Wormsquirt for sacred flame because that needs a creature to target and you're it :)

Bear 1 INT save: 1

Bear 2 INT save: 6

OOC: Here it goes...

Dex Save: 11

Oh no. So Wormsquirt comes running out into the camp roaring like a dragon and tries to sidestep the sacred flame but gets caught in it.

Mysti, you'll have to roll damage for that.

The bears are completely terrified and are smashing into each other trying to scramble away faster than the other. Clawing and pushing their way over each other they run out of the camp with grunts. Their meal completely forgotten.

sacred flame 6 dex 13 save

Wormsquirt you suffer 6 DMG but other than that the plan worked very well. You don't think the bears will be back anytime soon!

Belialuin rushes to Wormsquirt "Well that was something. Are you alright my Kubold friend? I can hand you a healing potion if you need it. But man that was something. You definitely qualify as a Dragon in my eyes. Even mighty Bohamat would laugh at this " Belialuin bursts into laughter as he stands near Wormsquirt "Ohoooo I feel it's gonna be a  great day today" while he continues to laugh with tears in his eyes.

Wormsquirt waves off Belialuin with one hand while he tries to put out his burning clothes with his other. "I'm fine, I'm fine," he says as the corners of his mouth turn from a grin to an open guffaw. He looks at Belialuin and his own laughter, the spirit of the moment making him rock back on his feet, then fall to the ground laughing. "That was so worth it! Did you see how they reacted?" 

Thorum steps up, laughing at the display, and assists Wormsquirt in patting out the flames. "That definitely worked out better than I expected!"

Roger stands behind the others, it’s obvious he wasn’t very amused, but says nothing.

With the bears now scared away the way into the cave is open.

"Hey, look at that! It worked! Well done."

Under his breath, Zarbof mutters, "dammit."

"If the dead gnolls attracted a couple of bears overnight, we should probably check out the cave with a little care again. Anyone want to do that for us? I'd suggest Wormsquirt, but maybe someone we can trust to take the task seriously might be better. Thorum, can you see in the dark?"

Someone want to give me a nature or survival check. Whichever is best for you.

Mysti survival : 20

You remember that Parth burned the gnolls that attacked the camp and you realize you'll probably face a similar problem when leaving the cave if you don't do something with the dead gnolls.

Remembering what Parth did earlier Mysti tells the group, "We should have burned the dead gnoll bodies, if we still can we should do that."

"You're right.  Let's pile them up."  Zarbof begins gathering up yesterday's dead knolls, making a large pile on top of the one the bears were already fighting over.
