S149 Recap: Call Of The Grave | Ep92: Into The {off-brand} Underworld

General Summary

#TheProcrastinationIsReal > Anyaychdee, into the cave to grandma's house we go! (we are in fact nowhere near anybody's grandma, which is actually a first for this campaign since Nova's grandma is technically Gaea) > Also Kirin had to touch Aravin to cast darkvision on her and Aravin made a #GoodCrit Deception check to maintain her poker face > #NothingGayAboutThat #Lie #CritCount1 > Anywemblies, we continue our tracking until we locate what we're pretty confident was the troll's lair (Was it the bones? Did the bones give it away?) > And Fred says fuck “Alright gang! Let's split up and look for clues!” > #JeepersAndJinkiesAndZoinksOhMy! > Nova (& probably Corayas & Scribius too) investigate the offshoot tunnels where they find an altar to some demon princes of the abyss > #HateThat > also there's a Nat20 religion check to identify that fact so #CritCount2 > “I can excuse eating Caspadin, but I draw the line at worshipping demons!” “YOU CAN EXCUSE EATING CASPADIN‽‽‽” > #NobodyActuallySaidThis,DontWorry > Also #SorryKirin > Isati looks for hints and markings on the ceiling or higher points of the walls > #ThisIsMostlyChill > I Don't really remember what Serenas was doing > #SorrySerenas > oh wait! Serenas made a general perception check > #I'mNoLongerSorrySerenas > Aravis goes through the bone pile to find more of Caspadin's remains > #ThisIsMostlyNotCreepy > Kirin has taken her #Investimagations out into the darkness beyond Isati's light > #We'llComeBackToThat > And finally we have Romad! Romad rolled a #Nat20VibeCheck and these vibes are rancid > #CritCount3 > Shaggy: “G-G-G-GHOSTS!?‽” > #RuhRohShaggy > Anywights, we got a spooky spirit and two shadows! Will they get to do anything? No! :D > No literally not a single one of those enemies got to take a single turn. Romad fucking #GoodCrit obliterates the spirit with a #StorgeChargeAttack and the rest of the gang finish off the shadows lickitdy split! > #RestInFuckingPiecesMyDudes #CritCount4 > Okay I'm not actually on nearly as much of a time crunch as I was last recap but I am on a spoon crunch that I'd rather allocate to the actual session so we're once again entering nyoom mode > Romad senses the pull of death? Wack. Isati also senses this? Wack. Isati scries on Caspadin and sees a split vision with one getting blocked by a higher power and the other landing on a strange specter of a dire wolf patrolling the borders of an even stranger graveyard? EXTREMELY WACK. Tracking down the #Red&Black sword of Caspadin in a cavern that also contains the bodies of creatures that fell through a hole in the ceiling? Wack. The message “What Comes From [The]¹ Earth Returns To [The]Earth— [Throw Me Down²] And Pray For Home” being carved into the wall in ancient celestial? Curious. > 1. 'the' articulates added for grammatical flow. > 2. rough translation of used words that have had varied contextual meanings throughout antiquity that the translation team was not able to confirm with certainty. > Leaving the caves? Nice. Ending up on a foggy cliff face full of strong winds and hidden crags? Wack. Nova getting a #GoodCrit Perception to not get lost? Nyice. Serenas #GoodCritting his Dex save not to trip and fall and die? Wack. (I KID!! IS ONLY JOKE!) > #AndI'dHaveGottenAwayWithItToo! #IfNotForYouMeddlingKids! #CritCount6, #GoodCrits6, #BadCrits0, #FinalCritCount > Ending the session as the party stands before the chilling gates of The Forbidden Graveyard? Scawy!இ௰இ > #That'sAllFolks
