Killilli’s Dragon Heist

Aldrik gives Cico a nod, his greatsword in a half-hand stance as the unencumbered noble slips along the wall.

He keeps an eye out for any threats or toothy-mawed ceilings/floors/walls/rugs/bricks...

Stealth: 19. 

Perception: 18. 

Edvord stealthily follows after Aldrik, the man whispers in his start-stop ways to his younger brother, "I do not quite get it... This potion seems like a fine enough gift... I was sure that would win Kerri back over... I think I need a bit of help here."

Edvord Stealth: 12

Lyss refrains from commenting on the sneaking techniques the others are employing...

Stealth: 17

Aimee shushes Edvord.

Cico and Lyss prepare to enter, their footsteps light, their breath undetectable, these creatures won’t see you coming.

Meanwhile, Aldriks footsteps rattle the floor as Edvord whispers a little too loudly to him. Aimee’s shush is the last straw, it rings through the air as the creatures turn, shocked to see you in the doorway. Their laughter becomes high pitched and nervous.

Round 1

Edvord, Kerri, Lyss, Cico 

Boggles (won tie with Aldrik due to Mod)

Aldrik and Aimee

As you sneak into this blazing hot room, the creatures are just surprised enough for some of you to get the jump on them. The boggles stand between you and a blazing circular pit. A molten arm reaches up to grab the neck of the lute. It won’t be long until it’s completely unsalvageable.

Mystery??? - 3

Lyss peeps from cover and tries to put an arrow in one of the grabbers!

Attack: 24 Damage: 11

((Rolled with advantage in case her hide was good enough for them not to see her on the opening round here.))

(Sorry yes, Lyss and Cico were hidden. Everyone else failed.)

The arrow flies straight through the boggles eye. It screams, tugging at the arrow to take it out. Eventually you hear a “Plop” and right before you it holds the arrow, waving it above it’s head. The bloodshot eye stares at you from atop the arrow, severed nerves dangling down. The boggle cackles proudly.

"You can keep the arrow! Give us the rest of our stuff back! And the unicorn!"

Cico frowns at the sight of the arrow through the eyeball. The creature’s indifference to the loss of its eye was unsettling.

Instead of attacking such a mad creature, Cico reaches out to grab the lute before it gets pulled under.

11  (+2 if Athletics, +7 if Acrobatics - maybe to avoid being burned in the process?)

Cico is able to run up and leap over one of the Boggles as the closest one swings at him with the eyeball arrow.

(3ft tall so high jump takes care of it.)

Attack: 13 Damage: 3

Landing on the lip of the pit, Cico tries to reach for the Lute, keeping one foot on the edge as he makes a cranelike form. He just gets his finger on a tuning peg as he feels his weight shift and he begins to tumble into the molten pit.

Dex save to grab the ledge…

Cico Dex Save: 22  

Cico manges to get his hand on the lip of the pit as he tumbles. Looking down, he can see it extends 40ft to it’s base. From this angle, you notice that the lute has a string caught on a jutting rock and dangles into the pit just put of reach of the two molten figures that desperately try to leap up to grab it.

The mage runs up to the space formerly occupied by Cico. To his friends he quickly begs, "Act menacingly but I want them alive!"

Edvord then shouts at the boggles in Sylvan, <Return our lute and we will spare your lives! Face our swords and you will die for sure, cooperate and we will ensure that the master does not punish you!>

Edvord then jumps over the boggles landing next to Cico, goes prone and reaches for the lute.

Edvord Athletics: 12

Edvord lies along the edge of the pit, his waist seemingly floating on solid air as he clenches his abdomen. It seems like those mandatory sit-ups the elves recommended in their bladesinger handbook are finally coming to good use.

He gets his hand on the neck of the lute, careful not to put any weight on Cico's fingertips. 

The boggles chatter for a moment, <He speaks... wow! Should we... What's he doing? That's so silly. Definitely easier just to push them in right? Incinerate the rubbish!!>

Kerri you're up

"Will you please give up on the stupid lute?" Kerri asks, entering after the others and keeping an eye on the hands

The Boggles, chatter and laugh as two approach the pit.

Two large, slippery feet brush against Cico's hands, liquid dripping off of them into a pool around his fingertips. (Dex save at beginning of next turn.) Looking up, he can see the eyeball arrow waving at him.

The other boggle runs up the wall around the pit, it's feet sticking to the surface. Once on the other side, it grabs the lute, tugging it forcefully, its hands seemingly bonded to the instrument. Edvord feels himself being pulled into the pit. Athletics 11 (Athletics contest). As it pulls you read an inscription on the lute.  Dearest Prendy,  my forbidden love, may this remind you that our song will always intwine. All my love, Stormy. The symbol of Mystra is scribed by the name, as well as a family crest. 

The final Boggle faces those in front, a sticky puddle dripping from it before it takes a step back, blocking the pit with its body.

Lyss (pops out from an unexpected place and) shoots at the one that is messing with Cico.

Attack: 19 Damage: 9

(Ignore adv if she wasn't able to hide giving the situation. In case I hadn't had her hide behind a doorway or the like before, Stealth: 26))
