Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

The witch is now 90 feet in the air, just starting to fade into the fog above.  Is Lionel still pursuing?  She's 40 feet away. 

Everyone's actions.  Lionel, don't forget your AoO. 

His attention caught between the two enemies, Mordekai sees the house slow its relentless assault as the witch gets further and further away.  In a bid not to let her get away, Mordekai fires another two desperate Eldritch Blasts at the witch.

Attack: 27 Damage: 14

Attack: 11 Damage: 8

Edit: I forgot Bless...so attack 1 adds 1 and attack 2 adds 1 to it.

The evil was getting away! Even if it meant the end of him, Lionel could not just let it happen - not when the fight already begun, not after what he saw in that moving hut! He flew after the skull.

(sacrificing one attack for the dash)

AoO: Attack: 4 Bless + 20 Damage: 11

Attack: 4 Bless + 23 Damage: 14 + 5 radiant

Lionel, please make your save vs. Lightning bolt.  Lionel sweeps his blade through the witch as she tries to flee, spraying blood across the inside of the upside down skull, and then swoops after her trying to stay just within range. 

Two blasts from below both miss as the witch is now all but hidden from below by blasts.  

Dex Save: 21 + 2

Gritting his teeth in determination, Olin leaps toward the slowed roots once again, trying to climb up into the hut. (Dex save, 18+1)

Olin carefully climbs up the root and into the hut. He looks into the cradle tying to see if the baby is alive. He also looks at where the floor is glowing green, trying to see if he can figure out how to get to the gem he assumes is beneath the floorboards.

(I still have action/bonus action, just would like a little more info on what I see in here before I take them.)

Without too many options, Meepo casts toll the dead on the house.

DC 14 wis save.

Damage: 16

He moves to stay at range of the house.

House Wisdom save: 13.  The house shudders slightly as the magic from Meepo draws life energy from it.  Meepo stays within 60 feet but keeps himself behind some cover.

Ismark also keeps himself at cover, cradling his broken arm as he rests behind a tree, blood seeping from his nose and ears. 

The witch and Lionel vanish into the fog above continuing their aerial battle. 

Olin tries again to clamber up the slow motion house, this time managing not to be tossed free as the house shakes itself about.  He stumbles into the inside of the house and looks around. The hut is fifteen feet on a side and packed with old fur­niture, including a wooden cot, a wicker cabinet, a slen­der wardrobe, a wooden table, a stool, a barrel-topped wooden chest reinforced with brass bands, and an iron tub filled to 1/3 full with thick viscious blood that is sloshing about and spraying over the edges as the house moves about. In the middle of the room is a ghastly wooden crib with a small, angelic child sitting in it. All the furnishings except for the crib are bolted to the floor. Three goat bodies are here, sliding back and forth across the blood splattered ground, leaving smears of red. Despite the crib not being bolted down, it doesn't seem to be sliding anywhere.  The child sits there, oddly not being affected by the thrashing home at all, sitting strangely still, and turns its head to make eye contact with you when you look at it.  It stares with an intense....wise look that sends shivers up your spine, silently watching you and making none of the babbling child like sounds you'd expect.  Beneath the crib, green light seeps up through cracks between the rotting floorboards.  There's no floor covering that could be concealing a secret latch or anything, you figure to get at the light you'd have to move the crib, then hack through the floor boards. 

Now that you're inside, the house seems to focus less on trying to send you flying free, but it's still moving, so everything but the crib is rocking about and creaking with the motion.

Olin, what do you do?  Then it's witch and house.

"Silvanus help me, what have we walked into?" Olin shudders. "I sure hope this thing works the same way as that blasted tree blight." Seeing the crib and child not following the laws of physics the way the goat carcasses and other furniture are, Olin suspects it might be an illusion. Hoping he's right and it's not magical in some other, more nefarious way, Olin reaches out his hand to try either push through. If it is in fact real, he'll try and push it out from atop the glowing area of the floor.

Once the crib is either moved or proven false, Olin attacks the floorboards with spear and spectral branch, trying to break through the floor to reach the gem.

spiritual weapon, Attack: 22+4 Damage: 14
shillelagh, Attack: 24 Damage: 11

Olin stumbles forward, placing his hand into the crib.  It goes through. As he suspected, an illusion.

(you climbed a moving house, stumbled inside, looked around, and felt through the illusion.  Your attack on the floor will be next turn.) 

Outside, the house takes a moment to slowly rotate about.  Then one of its slowed lumbering roots digs up another huge rock and flings it towards Mordekai. Attack: 13 Damage: 20. 

Lionel, the witch continues to zoom through the air, but bleeding profusely begins attempting to dodge and weave in order to evade your attacks. As you begin maneuvering through the fog it begins to get disorienting, even up and down, with the firm tug of gravity, becomes difficult to discern as there is nothing around you in any direction but a grey smear.  With the onset of evening and the lack of light, visibility is terrible in the quickly dimming grey fog bank. Occasionally from the fog you hear the sounds of your allies somewhere below in battle. (She takes a withdraw action, then flies 40 feet. No AoO, but she can't cast a spell at you.) 

Olin, back inside the house, you slam the floor with your spear, and use your magical club to batter at it through the illusion of the crib.  The child locks its eyes on you and begins to whisper in a quiet voice, though it's some language you don't understand....."Moje najljubse sadje je jabolko, vendar je moj drugi najljubsi hruska. Ce bi vse zivljenje jedel samo eno sadje, bi bila to lubenica."  It's words are filled with some evil intent as the illusion glares at you with deathly eyes.  The rotting floorboard give way easily, smashed through, bits of rotting wood falling into a gap below. Dug into the heart of the stump is a three foot deep cavity, at the bottom of which sits a green glowing gem shaped like an acorn that resembles the other you took from the animated tree. 

Mordekai, Meepo, Lionel, your actions. 

There was still some flight left in him - even if quite new, Lionel learned to work with this ability. He could only count on his blade here to see anything in the fog (The sword's luminous blade emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet). For now his only goal was to follow the witch.

Dash after the witch.

Mordekai's concentration check to maintain Slow: 12

The witch disappears into the fog, and a giant rock smashes Mordekai around the head. He turns, wonders how a house threw a rock, and returns fire. 

Attack: 12 Damage: 8

Attack: 25 Damage: 9

Edit: As always, forgot bless. Add 3 to the saving throw (please be a 4!), and 2 and 1 to the attacks reflectively. 

Meepo casts toll the dead again on the house.

DC14 Wis save or take 16 damage.

Wisdom save: 14

Olin stumbles as the house suddenly begins moving much more fervently, the slow spell disrupted.  Outside it rocks back and forth as it crunches along towards Mordekai, seemingly having chosen him as it's enemy as his blasts continue to takes chunks of bark off of its limbs and bits of house go flying.   It moves closer to Mordekai (30 feet closer) as it stomps through the sludge, and flings a rock sideways which tumbles through the air towards Meepo.  Attack: 23 Damage: 21

Up in the air, the witch shrieks at Lionel as he keeps pace.  She hisses at him as he swoops near her and takes a chance to try and blast him out of the air again. She flies away (AoO Lionel) and uses the momentary space to unleash a bolt of lightning rips through the air into Lionel.  DC 19 save, 24 damage, save for half.  She's now 40 feet away again.

Alright, everyone's action, Lionel, don't forget your AoO. 

Hearing the sounds of struggle outside and the mad, incomprehensible babbling of the illusory child by his side, Olin does his best to clear his mind. Rapid fire he repeats to himself, "Silvanus guide me. Silvanus guide me. Silvanus guide me." Olin re-positions himself and reaches into the hole in the stump. His mantra shifts to "Let this work. Let this work. Let this work." He grabs the gem and pulls it free, ready to leap from the cursed hut and flee at his first chance.

Olin lays flat on the floor and reaches in for the gem....but as he does so, the jagged floorboards suddenly move!!  The form a horrific wooden maw and attempt to bite down on Olin as he reaches for the gem.  (Roll a DEX save)

AoO:  Attack: 1 Bless + 10 Damage: 10

Dex save: 12 + 2

Lionel's goal now not only to reach the witch, but to get into the skull with her.

Meepo casts shield to block the boulder this time.  he then casts toll the dead once more.

DC 14 Wis or take 10 necrotic.

Mordekai backs away 30ft and continues to fire Eldritch Blasts at the house. 

Attack: 9 + 4 Damage: 13

Attack: 13 + 3 Damage: 12

Dex Save, 18+1
