Leodes

The Bandit King of Halolis. He was executed by Dawnguard and Sariel under orders of Aria and Ismene.

Session 91

[10:17 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Cutting straight to it, Ryleigh says, "Aria wants us to take out the Bandit King."
[10:21 PM] Sariel: Sariel raises her eyebrows in surprise, crossing her arms against her chest. "I normally like to ease into something like this." She laughs, "No time for niceties, I take it... Why the Bandit King?"
[10:23 PM] Urrak: "She didn't exactly give a reason, I'm assumin' it's a power grab."
[10:24 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "When I asked why the Bandit King and not the person controlling the slums, she said, 'because that's the job I have for you." Ryleigh recites, shrugging.
[10:25 PM] Sariel: Sariel rolls her eyes and scoffs, "Typical..."
[10:26 PM] Urrak: "Aye, she's about as cuddly as a viper. Ye deal with her often?"(edited)
[10:26 PM] Seirixori: "Hey, they can be cuddly," Seir says distractedly.
[10:28 PM] Urrak: Urrak chuckles a bit, "A'course Seirixori."
[10:29 PM] Sariel: Sariel mutters to herself, "about as cuddly as a bull in a fighting ring..."
[10:31 PM] Sariel: She sighs and waves off handedly to some papers on a small table near by, "Ismene has actually had her eye on Leodes for awhile."
[10:32 PM] Sariel: "I do have some intel that may be of use."
[10:33 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I assumed this wasn't a new development, and anything you can provide would be useful. The person who's familiar with this place is Brimeia and well, she spent most of her time in the fighting ring."
[10:41 PM] Sariel: Sariel nods solumnly, "He's been a pain in our sides for some time. Holds food for ransom, among other things..." Anger washes over her face briefly before she glances up at the team, "We know that he's taken over a farmhouse up north as his strong hold."
[10:42 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Do we have any idea how many guards he has? Or the strength under his command?" Ryleigh's careful to keep her voice even.
[10:45 PM] Sariel: "There's at least a couple dozen guards. Unfortunately, I don't have an exact number."
[10:47 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "That helps though," Ryleigh says, giving Sariel a small smile. "Would you happen to know if it'd be better to attack at night or during the day? Granted, he may have the same amount of guards regardless of the time of day."
[10:56 PM] Sariel: "They work in shifts, but as far as we can tell, there seems to be fewer men at the farm in the day time, but they'll be on alert." Sariel tilts her head and stares off for a sec, "There's more men at night, but many are sleeping, and those that aren't, aren't paying much attention." She turns back to Ryleigh, "I suppose which time will hold the highest advantage depends on how stealthy you lot can be."
[10:56 PM] DM: Rukiya laughs.
[10:57 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh laughs too. "My armor isn't exactly quiet, and my sword doesn't turn her light off. So we're not very good at being stealthy."
[10:58 PM] Sariel: Sariel grins, "Perhaps not the nightshift, then."
[10:58 PM] Sariel: "Unless you favor the challenge."
[11:00 PM] Urrak: "I'm sure we can find a way t' get there without rousin' too many alarms. At least a couple of us can be sneaky," Urrak places a hand on her chest, "I mean, definitely not my clumsy ass, but Rukiya and Seirixori are pros."
[11:03 PM] Seirixori: "Uh, what?"
[11:03 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "So quiet."
[11:01 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I'd rather not alarm every person that we're there by tripping over one another during the night. Let's approach during the day, perhaps he'll invite us in a easily as Aria's people did."(edited)
[11:04 PM] Sariel: Sariel looks between them, considering something, "So, just... walk into a brawl then? Is that the plan?
[11:05 PM] Urrak: "Ryleigh thinks she can charm her way into anywhere."
"[11:05 PM] Seirixori: Seir's face flushes at Gunnloda's comment, but it does get her to pay a little attention. "I can make several distractions."
[11:05 PM] Brimeia: "Wouldn't be my first time walking into a fistfight," Brimeia grins.
[11:06 PM] Sariel: "If you need a scout, I've been known to be 'Sneaky' as you put it," she smiles wryly.
[11:07 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh raises an eyebrow at Urrak. "Not anywhere, but with some finesse I've managed to get into many places without having to draw my blade."(edited)
[11:07 PM] Sariel: Sariel grins, "Think you can charm a Minotaur?"
[11:10 PM] Urrak: "They'd more likely try t' out stubborn each other"

Session 92

[7:04 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "A Minotaur," Ryleigh says in partial disbelief.
[7:08 PM] Sariel: "with smoking armor. Rumors say he may be part demon. So I mean... If you want to charm him... go ahead." Sariel laughs.
[7:08 PM] Seirixori: Seir, who's been focusing mostly on the ground and everyone's immediate persons for sneaky hands finally looks up, and nearly growls as she speaks, "Does he just have a bunch of stupid assholes and then him? Or are there stupid assholes, slightly less stupid assholes, and then him?"
[7:09 PM] Urrak: "Glad t' see this job is gettin more interestin' by th' day," Urrak chuckles, "Never met a Minotaur I didn't like. Granted, haven't met many."
[7:11 PM] Urrak: "An' I reckon a man who calls himself a King has many, many assholes around him."
[7:12 PM] Sariel: Sariel gives Serirxori a puzzled look, "Are you asking if his goons have a hierarchy?"
[7:12 PM] Seirixori: "Yes."
[7:14 PM] Sariel: "I... assume so? Imagine it'd be hard to be King of an unorganized mob of anarchy."
[7:14 PM] Seirixori: "Do you know who they are? Or what they can do?"
[7:15 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Unless he's the worse one and that's why he's king, because they fear him," Ryleigh adds to Sariel's comment.
[7:19 PM] Sariel: "You can't rule a mob with fear alone." Sariel glances back at Seirxori, "And in any case, all I know is that he works mostly with humans, but is also in league with..." Her mouth curls in distaste, " the Shaugin tribe."
[7:20 PM] Urrak: "Sounds like ye've some history with 'em. What's their deal?"
[7:21 PM] Sariel: Sariel crosses her arms and looks away, "They've got a genocidal grudge against sea elves."
[7:21 PM] Seirixori: Seir's lips curls with dissatisfaction, but she just stands silently with a snarl on her face, her questions done for now.
[7:24 PM] Urrak: "Good enough reason t' hate anyone," Urrak folds her arms.
[7:25 PM] Sariel: Sariel curls in a little on herself, scowling deeply. "There's not many of us left."
[7:25 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Wait... what does the Sahaugin tribe have to do with the bandit king? Are they going to be at his compound?"
[7:28 PM] Sariel: "Could be. They work together. " Sariel rolls her eyes, "I don't exactly have a roster."
[7:29 PM] Urrak: "Either way, we've more than jus' a bull-man t' deal with."
[7:31 PM] Sariel: "A smoking bull man. But yes."(edited)
[7:32 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Would you happen to know why Aria and the pirate queen want an alliance?" Ryleigh asks, attempting to remain polite.
[7:35 PM] Sariel: "Ismene wants help ousting the Sahuagin. She feels they're a threat to her hold on the harbor. As for Aria..." Sariel shrugs, "rumor has it she wants our help taking out Amphion."
[7:35 PM] Sariel: "A little tit for tat."
[7:38 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh nods, her mouth pulling into a thin line. "I see."
[7:40 PM] Urrak: "So then, we should stake th' place out first. Figure out how many guards an' lackeys he's got traipsin' around."
[7:41 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Should we inform the pirate queen first?"
[7:45 PM] Sariel: "Ismene is more interested in results than meetings. We already have all the approval we're gonna get."
[7:48 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Okay, I don't want to step on anyone's toes unnecessarily while we're here." Ryleigh rubs the back of her neck, then adds, "It's too late in the day to head to the Bandit Kings. Why don't we rest up and reconvene tomorrow morning."

Session 93

9:21 PM] DM: Meanwhile, Urrak starts to hear heavy footsteps on the stairs and a bellowing voice. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU IDIOTS DOING DOWN HERE?" And there, entering the room, is a smoking hot minotaur man with a huge ass sword. Which he will attempt to use against Urrak because she is in range. (24a, 17 damage).
[9:22 PM] DM: Gunnloda will peek around Rukiya and see the trouble Urrak's in and enter the room. She'll cast bane on Leodes, Thug A, and the bandit captain.
[9:23 PM] DM: Thug A and the bandit captain fail.
[9:28 PM] Urrak: Urrak will sweep her blade across Thug A and Leodes ((25, 16 and 24 ,11 and 3 dmg to Thug A))(edited)
[9:30 PM] Urrak: Urrak yells to whoever is close by as she swings "He's here! Leodes is here!"
[9:51 PM] DM: Leodes will attack Urrak again.
[9:52 PM] DM: (26a, 9d; 18a)
[9:53 PM] Urrak: Urrak will use her parry to reduce the damage done
[9:53 PM] Urrak: ((5+3=8, one point of dmg taken))(edited)
[9:54 PM] DM: He then lowers his horns and tries to shove her. Roll a strength save please.
[9:54 PM] Urrak: ((13))
[9:55 PM] DM: Urrak stumbles backwards 10'.
[9:57 PM] DM: Gunnloda will point at Leodes, and a black beam of energy envelops him and leaves him with a sickly aura.
[10:03 PM] Sariel: Sariel, still visibly shaken, takes a moment to clutch desperately at the necklace dangling just beneath top of her tunic before making her way to where she hears fighting in the other room.
[10:06 PM] Urrak: "Y'can't get rid o' me that easy, fucker." Urrak charges back at Leodes and attacks with her greatsword ((17, 9 ; 12, 12 ))(edited)
[10:07 PM] DM: Neither attack hits.
[10:12 PM] DM: Brimeia. You have free advantage if you attack Leodes.
[10:12 PM] Seirixori: ((For both attacks?))
[10:12 PM] DM: Just the first.
[10:13 PM] Seirixori: Brimeia: Brimeia runs at Leodes and uses her great axe to swipe at his legs ((26a, 9dmg + 25a, 16dmg)).
[10:14 PM] DM: He grunts as Bri's axe slashes him.
[10:16 PM] Seirixori: Seir will make a full run with her action to get into the house and up to bandit D and roar in their face. ((80ft movement))
[10:18 PM] DM: Leodes will attack Bri for 10 and 15 damage, reduced to 12 total, and use his second wind to heal himself for 10 hp.
[10:20 PM] DM: Correction, reduced another 6 damage for 6 total because Gunnloda.
[10:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda then lifts her holy symbol and her eyes turn black. She says some words that none of you understand, and Leodes shivers.
[10:24 PM] Sariel: Sariel moves behind Urrak and shoots at Leodes with her crossbow ((11))
[10:24 PM] DM: That misses, unfortunately.
[10:25 PM] Urrak: Urrak slashes at Leodes again (( 23a, 8d ; 14a))
[10:26 PM] Urrak: and she'll use her Second Wind to gain back some health
[10:26 PM] DM: Urrak's first swipe seems to hit him a lot harder than expected, then he regains his footing and the second swipe misses.
[10:27 PM] Urrak: ((7+6 = 13 hp regained))
[10:27 PM] DM: Rukiya will throw another dagger. She's running out. Another bandit eats it. She then jumps through the window to the body she killed first and picks up her first dagger.
[10:28 PM] DM: The two thugs attack SeirBear- 16a, 5d; 22a. 6d
[10:31 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh runs into the main room, and seeing a thug trying to get at the parties squishies - she misty steps into his line of sight. Swinging Dawnbringer at him, then slashing at him again. ((20A, 16D; 15A, 11D))(edited)
[10:32 PM] DM: He does manage to keep his feet through all of that.
[10:33 PM] Seirixori: Brimeia: Bri swings recklessly at Leodes again. ((22a, 6dmg + 15a))
[10:33 PM] DM: Leodes snarls.
[10:40 PM] DM: Leodes is going to just go fucking ape on Bri. (15a, 14a, action surge 26a, 11d, and a crit! 14d, for a total of 12, divided by 2 again so a total of 6 whole damage on four attacks.) Leodes manages to bring his terrible greatsword around and slashes through Bri, but when the sword seems to pull at Brimeia's life force, Gunnloda's eyes darken again and she grumbles in that strange language again. The pull inside Bri lessens and dissipates and Leodes snarls again, getting even more frustrated. He glares daggers at the little dwarf who keeps saying weird shit and fucking him up.(edited)
[10:42 PM] DM: Gunnloda just sticks her finger up at him and casts Toll the Dead, hitting him for another 10 necrotic damage.
10:45 PM] Sariel: Sariel, still thrown off her game, runs around Urrak to attack Leodes and misses.
[10:45 PM] DM: Urrak finish this.
[10:45 PM] Urrak: ((19, 11 ; 9a))
[10:47 PM] DM: Urrak mirrors Leodes's attack and sinks her own blade into Leodes's gut, but this time he falls to his knees, gasping. He's not quite dead, but he's definitely going that way. The other two fall quickly to Rukiya, Seir, and Ryleigh's attacks, and you're all left staring at the minotaur in smoking armor trying unsuccessfully to hold his insides in. (End initiative.)
[10:49 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh is going to move to the minotaur, she kneels down and tilts her head, before saying, "This is what happens when you starve innocent people for power." And she's going to watch him bleed out.
[10:51 PM] Urrak: Urrak wipes her blade off with the sleeve of her shirt and sheathes it. She walks a bit away from the group and wraps a hand around her side. "Well, guess he was here after all."
[10:51 PM] Seirixori: Seir walks up next to Ryleigh and snaps at Leodes but doesn't actually bite him.
[10:52 PM] DM: He chokes on his last couple breaths and falls over, dead.
