Session Six

by Radiance Tiller

So to start off with we're unpacking and I don't have my paper sheet and the one on World Anvil says my max HP is 2 so I guess I'm gonna have to be REAL careful this time!
 
My wife is real pretty and I love her so much and I'm so excited for this.
 
First roll (wis save in my dreams) Nat 20. This bodes well.
MEEPO IS COMING WITH US. Gonna try and get him kitted out a bit - armor, spear, buckler. Not a spear, those are Str based. Let's get him a lil sword. A pig-sticker.
I pay 15gp for his rapier to the goblins. It is called the BoarStick.
 
Down below is the Twilight Grove, where That Guy Belak tends his enchanted garden and has a Gulthias Tree (whispered). He has the remaining humans down there (minus the boy) so only the girl and the other guy down there with Belak.
 
Attach together with rope and try to climb down into the shaft.
I rolled a natural one.
This is an 80ft drop.
That's 8d6. That's an average of 4x7=28 damage. If that rolls high, it's enough to fully kill me.
I fucking hate climbing things.
 
We are not good at climbing things.
I can't beat a DC5 climb check.
We're never getting out of here.
 
OKAY WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?
Luminscent fungus giving violet light clings to the walls and ceilings of this wide cavern. The air is damp and chilly, with odours of loam and decay. A layer of earth mixed with rotting vegetation and the remains of cave animals covers the floor. Several varieties of mushrooms and fungi grow on the detritus as well as a few saplings. Also with a rusted wheelbarrow and some shovels are two robed skeletons attending the garden.
 
ANDOHSHITROLL INITIATIVE
The skeletons seem content to keep gardening, but a bunch of Twig Blights rush us!
3 points dmg - I'm on 14.
There are five of these fuckers.
Bankroft hits with sacred flame. MEEPO CRITS WITH THE BOARSTICK and PULVERISES that bitch. My mind sliver takes out another one. Erky gets a good high-damage sacred flame on a fourth and kills it! We are tearing them apart.
And thennnn the skeletons get involved. Booo.
They both miss me, and I even push one over! I'm such a bad. ass.
Nothing more dies this round but we're working away at a skeleton.
One of the skeles hits me and I get 1 point of bludgeoning damage. I'm on 13.
Bankfroft kills the blight that's been blighting him.
Meepo kills the last one now it's just skeletons.
I get hit again. I'm now on 9.
Mind Sliver finally kills the one I've been focusing on. Drops his shovel and collapses in a pile of bones.
And Erky kills the last one.
 
Phew.
 
Looking through the muck, and wouldn't you know it, we disturb something else!
An Angry-looking Bugbear, accompanied with two giant rats. Fuuuck.
It's okay his name is BallSag soooo how bad can he be?
 
Meepo runs into battle like the little shit he is.
He immediately gets SMACKED to the side and nearly killed.
 
We tried Diplomacy but it didn't go so well oops.
He hits me and I go down. I am unconscious.
Fail one death save.
Bankroft brings me back up - to 3. Fuck me.
A full round, then a rat knocks me down again. For fuck sake.
Succeed one death save.
Bankroft brings me back up - to 10 this time. Much better.
Agathys up, and I'm Grandstanding again.
Ballsag misses me but then the fucking RAT uses it all up!
And then the other one bites me and I'm on 7HP now.
Ballsag saves against the Mind Spike so that's a lot less cool.
Bankroft reduces the rats to ASH with his channel divinity.
AND THEN MEEPO GETS THE KILL BECAUSE HE'S A KING.
 
Head up to see where Ballsag came from. Oh he living Nasty. He had 11cp and 6sp. I'll give them to Meepo. And a crown of antlers. What a weirdo.
There's a windy tunnel that seems like it'll go to the Underdark. Suspicious. Seems like he hunts in the Underdark. That's hardcore. He has a Box hidden in his bed. With 241sp and 54gp.
Reassure Meepo that I don't think he's a simpleton and that I'm not keeping him along as bait and he's actually a valued member of the party. He seems to buy it.
I think we'll take a short rest here. 7 +6 = 13. + 5 = 17. Back up to full, both hit dice used. Spell slot back, Loremaster back.
