The Phandalin Chronicles

After the last strike, Kazri believes her sword hand would go numb, and the sword would turn to a dull lifeless gray. However, to her surprise, none of that comes to pass. The longsword still seems to be fine. In fact, it seems that she is looking at an old friend that she hasn’t seen in a very long time.

”Master... Master Krom. Can you... Can you please inspect this sword? Thank you. Thank you...” Says Kazri still not believing what just happened.

"I will lass, I will." replies Krom walking near Kazri and then giving to the paladin a strong hug "I knew you could do it."

"To properly identify the sword now I need a peal to act as focus, unfortunately I do not have such focus with me. But as soon as we are out of this barrow, I will be able to meditate and find out what this sword can do."

Chip would quickly strum on his lute and let out a shout. "Yeah! You got it! I think.." Each of you feel a surge flow through your bodies as you gain 8 temp HP.

"There is one question remaining however, and that is of the rest of the borrow." Rhogar stepped up to speak. "Do we continue cleansing this place? Or shall we return to town? Time remains of the essence, it is true. But, there may yet be other restless spirits that should be seen to." He huffs through his nose, then looks back the way the group entered from. "That, assuming we have a way to consecrate this place. If not, we should simply return at a later date... The day we return the sword, perhaps."

Chip go back to work opening the tombs and looking for anything useful. "I am checking for undead in here... and there.. and there.." The dragonborn would say as he points towards the tombs. (The non-acid ones)

Chill relaxes as the stalker is defeated.

"We came for the sword and we have found it.  This was probably the best treasure to be found in this place.  There are probably a couple other Wisps yet and who knows what else.  But I am up to finishing the exploration of this tomb.  I will scout out the western passage and let you know what I find."

Chill looks to Rhogar.

"Does Ghorar still have eyes on the Wisp in the southern chamber?"

"I agree with you my friends, we should explore the rest of this barrow and cleanse it from the undead. After we are done, I could etch symbols of Moradin in each chamber and bless them. It may not be enough to re-consacrate this barrow permanently, but it may discourage other spirits to enter this tomb." says Krom to the rest of the group.

"Lass, do you still have some strength to heal yourself or should I heal you? That creature wounded you badly." says the dwarf examining Kazri's wounds.

"I can also help heal your wounds if you need" Chip would add as he pushes on the lid for one of the sarcophagi

Rekuberk cracks his neck and set the Warhammer back into Krom's hands, instead reaching for the familiar handle of his Greatsword. "Perhaps a small rest is in order first. That blasted things hurt more then I thought it would on the first strike."

"A short rest should give me enough time to properly examine that sword." replies Krom accepting back his Blessed Warhammer from Rekuberk.

If the group decides to take a rest, the dwarf sits down and starts examining the sword.

(OOC If the group takes a short rest, I will spend 1 hit dice to heal for 4.)

Ghorar reports nothing new from chamber he is watching.  The Wisp floats near the entry but has not left the room or seems to have detected Ghorar.

Chill carefully moves to the western corridors while the others rest.

He again finds a wisp floating near the entry to another chamber and if it has detected him it does not move to attack.  After some time Chill realizes that the space just before the entry to the chamber is like the one they are in now and likely holds another pit trap.  It seems the Wisps are trying to lure any adventurers into the caverns and catch them in the pit traps.

From what he can see there are some additional tombs within the chamber.

Chip and Chlll have already checked the 2 tombs in the chamber where you are resting and found nothing of value.

Krom spends his rest examining the longsword that Kazri picked up.  Indeed it is Lady Alagondar’s dragon slayer sword.   (added to Kazri's inventory)

While Krom examines the dragon longsword, Kazri takes a short rest. She is still trying to process what she just did. (Kazri will spend 1 hit dice: 11)

Go ahead and hit Short Rest on the character sheets and adjust your HP as needed for hit die rolled.

Except Chill who didn't rest.

Once Chill returns with his report, an at the time stretching Rhogar snorts and straightens up. "They are nothing, if not consistent." He comments on with a toothy grin. "Though be that as it is, we should be sure to bring our bridge with us to the next rooms, and ensure easy traversal. Master Krom? If you have already made your mark in the tomb, we should be off to the east. If any of the areas are to hold more things of use, it will be there... likely, anyways."

When everyone has been rested. "I will help with the bridge." (Athletics: 17) Kazri tries to lift one side of the structure.

Rekuberk hit Did: 9

"Let me help with our stone bridge, lass.", Krom chanting an hymn of strength tries to lift the other side of the stone slab (Athletics: 8 + Guidance: 2 ) "Let's head towards the east chamber."

As soon as the group has line of sight with the Will O' Wisp, the dwarf walks near Chill chanting an hymn of transmutation (Magic Weapon) while touching his crossbow.

"I have renewed the enchantment on your crossbow Chill."

Chip would strum on his lute and clear his throat. "I am prepared to sing it to sleep..... Permanant sleep" He would add. "Get it.. because it will die?"

"Thanks Krom.  I'll try and soften the Wisp up before you guys move in to lay that platform down.  You guys wait back here and we'll see how this one like magic bolts."

Chill motions to others to stay back and then will hide around the corner and then pop out and fire at the Wisp.

Stealth 25

Attack: 26 Damage: 21

"If you're certain. But we won't be too far behind." Rhogar had replied, even if unnecessarily so. Despite Chill's confidence, the Bronze stayed back and out of sight by virtue of being at the back of the bus, halfway expecting to hear a zap, followed by the cries of a fried cat.
