The Summit Road Campaign Thread

He growls in frustration as he picks up the pace, his crossbow held loose in case he needs to let it fall into its sling in favor of his blade.

He lengthens his stride, vaulting over the trip wire and into the hall, eyes and ears strained for a hint of the Prey as the others fall behind him.

(Move and Bonus Action Dash gets me to E-Blank with 20 ft of movement remaining.)

Vishal’s eyes glow blue as he starts to detect magic to locate this figure moving along the wall towards KO, stopping if he gets a ping. “They’re using Illusion magic probably invisibility.” 

Seeing Khova moving, Akuma will leave her hiding spot and head out of the D/E door to join the others in the hallway, waiting just outside of the doorway to look down the hall as well as keeping vision within the cafeteria. As she gets out to the hallway, she frowns and mutters to herself. "Well shit."

Perception: 2

He sees the Leader pointing and starts moving in that direction, he sticks the wall next to the message and fires straight ahead with a walloping bolt, before chasing after his shot to close the distance.

Attack with disadvantage along the -1 line toward the end of the alphabet: 7      damage if I hit 10

Movement gets me to -1i

Caelius lifts himself over the window with a silent grunt and runs over to the double doors, poking his head into the hall. Seeing nothing, he moves out of the way (f0) to let others pass into the hall.

Kaori darts out after everyone else, trying to force herself to the front with her shield. Seeing a bloody message on the wall, Kaori squawks and ducks back into the room, leaning on the wall beside the door and shaking violently, quietly repeating some phrases in Vishal's calming voice.

(Full 30ft movement to get out the door and back to G0, Dodge Action, and Bonus Action 'shake like a leaf'.)

Focusing all his senses on the smell of his prey, Diredruhd keeps trotting ahead, into the corridor...

Perception: 19

Druhdaar:

Khova steps into the hallway behind Akuma, electricity crackling around her fingertips.

Back to the PCs.

Vishal runs past everyone still locked in to the illusion magic saying as soon as he gets to M1, “The illusion magic is back, try about thirty feet in front of me someone!” 

He sees where the leader is pointing and fires again, using a regular bolt this time, then he flips a vial into his hand and tosses it, sending a gout of flame from the alchemist fire into the hallway, hoping to catch the prey and outline them.

Then he charges forward, hoping not to lose trace of the threat.

Fire Crossbow: 8  damage if it hits 6

Alchemist Fire throw to S1: 16  damage if hits is 2 at the start of the enemy turn

Then move to O1

Taran's bolt whistles through empty air, and though his fire explodes, it doesn't outline any figures.

The great, shaggy direwolf turns its head towards Taran, barks once, then sprints ahead. It seems to bark with excitement then bites with its wide, drooling jaws, seemingly at thin air. The teeth make a loud snapping sound as they close on emptiness, but the big wolf snarls wildly, apparently close to its prey.

** Attack at Disadvantage: 15  for 11 damage - Diredruhd is now at S-0 and trying to bite down on an invisible target. **

Druhd's teeth close on empty air, unfortunately.

Caelius, Kaori and Akuma remain this round.

Caelius runs into the hall, cracks his knuckles and presents both his palms. Out of his palms come rays of pale green light that race to the end of the hall.

Caelius moves to L1 and casts a twinned ray of sickness.

Attack on W0: Attack: 17 Damage: 10

Attack on W1: Attack: 11 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

If either hit, the murderer must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of my next turn.

Both rays fire through empty air.

Akuma frowns and takes off dashing down the hall, stopping at U0, facing towards the others. "Alright you. Let's see how confident you really are." Her black burned wings expand from her back, a dark aura emanating 10 feet around her in all directions. S0-1 to W0-1. She pauses for a split second before heading back the rest of the hall, stopping at X1, hoping to cut the figure off if they try to escape. 

(Cha save dc 13 or be frightened until my next turn. ) 

Seeing everyone running out into the hallway, Kaori finally takes a deep breath and kicks herself into action. While running out after everyone, trying to get back to the front of the pack, she reaches into her pack and pulls out a small vial filled with orange liquid. Smoke wafts out into the air as she pops the cork off, swallowing the contents in one quick sip and using her belt to lift herself 5 ft into the air as she moves forward (M1 - 5ft in the air), positioning herself directly above Vishal and letting out a loud screech as she exhales a burst of fire at the invisible target.

DC 13 Dex Save from the Enemy - 13 Damage on fail, half on success.

Movement - 30ft from G2 to M1
Action - Drink the Potion of Fire Breath
Bonus Action - Breath Fire at the invisible enemy, since I know they're within 30ft and their general direction.

Dex ST: 10

Conc ST: 20

Khova Readies an action because there's not much else she can do.

Abruptly, three things happen at once.

One, psychic energy explodes through the hallway.

Druhdaar, Vishal, Caelius, Kaori and Taran all must make a DC 14 Int ST or take 19 psychic damage, half on success. On failure, they also remove 1d6 from all attack rolls, ability checks, and Concentration STs for the next minute.

Two, the killer's invisibility drops because they cast a spell. Floating in the air at S0 is a massive (Large size), masked figure wielding a glaive. What you can see of their skin is pale, and their hands are tipped with sharp claws.

Three, Khova's Readied action triggers, and she casts toll the dead for 6 damage.

Killer ST: 17

The killer lets out a quiet, hissing sigh. "You can keep battering at me...or you can go find Shen before the count climbs to five."

Note: The killer is hovering 5 feet above S0, so you can move to S0 beneath them if you want.

Players are up. Make sure to roll your ST if necessary before taking your turn, and keeping the effects in mind.

Int ST - 12 (This was 18)

Kaori clutches her head as the psychic energy explodes around her, but she manages to shake it off and fly directly at the masked figure. Using her momentum, she swings her sword twice in a cross pattern, does a spin, and attacks twice in another cross, using the shininess of the blade and a taunting coo to distract the figure if any of her swings connect before opening her beak and showering the figure in flames once more.

Attack Rolls - (Using Action Surge)
1st - 8 Damage - 13
2nd - 20 Damage - 7
3rd - 23 Damage - 12
4th - 26 Damage - 13

Fire Breath Damage (Half on Successful Save) - 14

Extra Maneouvre Damage (Assuming one of those melee attacks hits) - 3 And the next attack made by someone other than me has advantage.

Int ST: 4
