DM James: Bloody Jack Lolly Monday June 13th, 2022 9:58:11 AM Benni wisely suggested the mirror might have a clue.
Issac said he heard an answering call to Benni's warning and spotted oars in the hold, He then suggested they weigh anchor and row to shore.
Teddy cast dancing lights in the direction of Jack. Gore Thum climbed back over the rail onto the ship.
Cory commented on all the haunts and supernatural things in the area.
Kristoph grabbed an oar and acknowledged Cory's thanks.
Back in the captains cabin Benni looked at the mirror once more, this time with the certainty that there was something special about it.
On deck the fog was clearing as the rain intensified, but the docks were still obscured and the only thing any of you could hear was the sizzling sounds of rain on the water. Teddy's lights ducked and dodged through the rain where Jack was but the rain and darkness made it hard to spot him.
DM: Jack no longer has total concealment as he makes his way to the docks.

DMJames: My posting window these past few weeks has been terrible due to events at work. As a result you've seen me not do a player summary on all posts which couldn't be helped. The net result was just putting the next scene out there without fully reading everything the players posted. Apologies for that. There is also the fact that you cannot defeat Jack face to face. It's clear to all of you that something else needs to happen and that's always been part of the plan. I'll try to wrap up the Jack part by the end of the month, then you'll likely revisit the Abbey and clear out another small section before tackling the next module. DM Jon is writing that one and I'm excited to see what he has in mind.

Onesimos sighs in relief as Gore’Thum is seen swimming back. ” Don’t scare us like that!”, he playfully admonishes the small frog. It seems the Spiritual Companion’s selfless actions have readjusted the elf’s opinion. Only time will tell…
Benni leads the team back to the cabin, and makes a painstakingly careful search. They have looked before, so going over with a fine tooth comb seems the action of the day.
Finally, finally, he finds the text and the clue they have been desperately searching for. He paraphrases. ”Break the mirror and slay Jack Lolly! Let’s to it, friends!”
He moves aside so the strong ones can have at!

Snark is surprised to see the writing on the mirror. He reads it for the others.
"Written in small text and inscribed upon the border of the mirror. “Empty your mind from worry and strife, gaze into me to gain eternal life. As long as the mirror remains unbroken it will retain your token and each night when darkness falls you’ll be released and filled with might. As long as your reflection remains whole you live to roam and keep your soul.”
"Huh. Wonder why we never noticed that before. Sure seems like we should break it. Maybe it'll end ol' Jack. We oughta get to rowing just in case breaking it doesn't end that monstrosity."

Teddy reads the inscription and calls to the others. "Wait! It says his reflection must remain intact. If we break it now, will he just be free of it? Or do we need to wait for him to be in it during the day to break it? or point it at him and break it?"
Gore'Thum presumably finds some way onto deck and tries to catch up on what's going on.
DM James: Bloody Jack Lolly Tuesday June 14th, 2022 1:13:59 PM Benni looks relieved that Gore Thum was fine and then looked the room over once more.
Issac set the oars into their locks one by one and then went in search of the winch to haul the anchor from the water.
Teddy called out to stop before breaking the mirror.
Cory agreed that breaking the mirror was a good thing.
Kristoph reads the inscription on the mirror and raises his weapon to smash it.
Snark wondered why they hadn't seen the inscription before.
As everyone paused and Issac continued his task to get the ship moving.
Snark Highlight to display spoiler: { considered that it was possible that the mirror wouldn't reveal the inscription unless it was empty. Each time they'd looked at the mirror it was during the day. This was the first time they'd examined it at night and presumably while Jack was not inside it. }
Teddy reasoned out that in order to slay Jack the mirror must be destroyed while Jack's reflection was in it. They just had to decide how they would lay the trap and if they could get the nasty undead pirate to show when they wanted him to.

Isaac continues working on getting the anchor up but realizes something goes over to the others working on the mirror "Hey everyone I know this is a bit sudden but something was bugging me but I think that creature has some sort of ability to turn invisible whenever it's near a mirror that's why we couldn't see it even with the lights on but could sense it. But I think I have a plan" He points to his bag "I got a party popper that should ruin his night if I can get close enough then I can grab him and you can bring in the mirror and do whatever your going to do with it. Until then I'm trying to get this ship shore." Isaac goes back to getting the anchor up so they can row the boat.

Gore'Thum is eager to get to shore and chase after the villain. Teddy looks around for another rowboat so they don't have to try to sail the giant ship that none of them know how to sail.
DM James: Bloody Jack Lolly Wednesday June 15th, 2022 8:15:15 AM Benni agreed with Teddy and Snark but wondered how they would set the trap.
Issac revealed Jack's hide in plain sight ability before going back to the anchor to begin the process of pulling it from the bay floor.
Teddy looked around for another boat but could find none.
Cory reasoned that Jack might hide in reflections.
Kristoph withheld his attempt to smash the mirror.
Snark attempted to suss out the properties of the mirror again.
Issac managed to get the anchor off the bay floor. As soon as he did the current picked up the ship and started moving it towards the shore. By the time he had it fully aboard the Ghost was only about 30' from the rocks of the shoreline when it slid upon a sandbar and came to rest ten feet from shore. Being that it was just past high tide the ship would likely be safe here until the next high tide some hours away.
Getting back into town would be a little treacherous however, but if they were careful they'd make it in under an hour. They could also stay aboard and wait for Jack to return. What would they do?
Snark Highlight to display spoiler: { With a little help from his friends and the aid of the inscription Snark determines that this cursed item transforms one into a Murdering Soul. A creature that must kill in order to survive. He suspects that's likely what happened to Jack's crew and once they were all gone Jack had to find other prey. A murdering soul also creates minions that must kill and feed each night or perish. The mirror itself transforms any in its reflection that reads the inscription aloud. Once the mirror has delivered its curse it falls dormant until the victim fails to feed and expires or is slain. The inscription is only visible when the mirror is empty. }
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 13/29 Wednesday June 15th, 2022 12:16:03 PM
The gnome finishes divining the properties of the mirror. He has his little bat Luna go back into her nest in his pack.
"Well, it seems this cursed mirror transforms somebody into something called a Murdering Soul. It has to kill in order to survive. I figure this is what happened to Jack's crew, and once they were all gone ol' Jack had to find other prey. A murdering soul also creates minions that must kill and feed each night or perish, so the town's in trouble. The mirror itself transforms any in its reflection that reads the inscription aloud. Once the mirror has delivered its curse it falls dormant until the victim fails to feed and expires or is slain. That inscription is only visible when the mirror is empty."
Snark is surprised and grateful to see the ship has drifted to shore.
"Well, we could wait here for Jack and try to smash the mirror just as he comes through, but I'm not even sure that will end him. Besides, while we wait here he's munching on somebody in town. Seems like we oughta warn them."
“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) Wednesday June 15th, 2022 1:57:04 PM
Onesimos considers the problem. ”Jack has to know his mirror is in the Captain’s Cabin, and he would know how we could break the curse. I think we need to move the mirror onto the top of the boat and cover it to trick him into looking at the same time we break it.”

Isaac looks out towards town. "If he comes back here it would mean he successfully fed otherwise he would die right? If we had a message spell we could get an update find out where he is. I say we head into town we might be able to take him by surprise." Noticing how beat up the others looked Isaac tries something "but Lets see if I can patch everyone up a bit." He holds the three symbols of his gods and channels energy. He creates a burst of positive energy to heal three times.

"Thanks Isaac, didn't even notice in all the ... well excitement is the wrong word. Look I know this is not going to be easy and I don't know about you all, but speaking for myself it seems we have two possibilities here. First we wait and set up a trap. Secondly we go look for him. If we set a trap it means we are effectively letting him kill someone. If we go looking for him, we may not find him, but at least we tried! I vote we take the mirror with us and try to hunt him down. I don't think my conscience will allow me to just wait for him. What does everyone else think"?

Gore'Thum points out. Teddy groans. "I don't really want to chase him. He's so fast we probably can't catch him. Maybe we set up a trap in the warehouse on the docks? Spread flour or something on the floor so we can see his movement, even if he's invisible?"
“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) Thursday June 16th, 2022 1:07:15 PM
Onesimos listens and it settles his thoughts. ”He has to kill AND get back into the mirror. So we take it with us and look for him… we still don’t know if the mirror can even move, or that we can make the 10’ leap to shore without breaking it. But if we can do that, Jack will either have a means of hunting the mirror down and we get our fight, or he dies with the rising of the sun and we get our way anyways. Let’s try it!”
DM James: Bloody Jack Lolly Thursday June 16th, 2022 2:23:07 PM Snark suggested they try to warn the townsfolk.
Benni suggested moving the mirror.
Kristoph wondered if Jack would sense the location of the mirror. He also suggested they take the mirror with them.
Issac also thought they should go into town, but he healed everyone first.
Teddy suggested an alternate location as did Gore Thum.
Acrobatics DC 19 to Leap with the mirror to the shore. or Throw the mirror to someone on shore Hit AC 5 with a -4 to hit due to size AND a Reflex Save DC 15 to catch it. or Climb DC 15 after jumping into the shallow water.
Failure will cause 1d10 points of damage to the mirror. It has a hardness of 6 and can take 15 hit points of damage before it breaks.
Unbolting the mirror from the floor wasn't too difficult as the planks beneath the mirror split when it it was forced over. The mirror was also long and narrow so a medium size person could tuck it under their arm.
Moving to the bow of the ship they estimated the best way to get the mirror off the ship.
DM James: There is no rope on board, but using rope to pull the mirror from the water would be the safest, but the slowest option. The mirror weighs 20 pounds.

He casts Levitate on the mirror, safely getting it down from the ship.
Then he searches around until he finds the ship's rope ladder and climbs down with the others.
DM James: Street Light People Friday June 17th, 2022 7:34:52 AM
Using magic creatively Snark managed to get the mirror safely ashore even as the others climbed up the rocks onto the shore to find a small trail heading back to the town. Flashes of light in the sky and the glow of the street lights in the distance told them they were headed the right direction and an hour later they were walking through the east gate.
It wasn't very late but the streets were empty and the lights in the homes and businesses were out. Even the warm tones coming from the Blue Cat tavern were missing and it's lights were out as well.

Onesimos doesn’t see what the lightning could have revealed, but can identify the forms on the dock as easily as Kristoph. The elf thinks quickly, and finds he doesn’t want to drive these away, he wants them back to the Lands of Rest.
He calls a battle plan. ”Isaac, Kristoph, and Benni in a line up front. Teddy left flank, Snark right flank. Cory, you have the mirror: try to get Jack’s reflection, then break it.”
The cleric then waits until all three undead are within 30’ before unleashing a burst of positive energy!
”We took your boat, Jack Lolly, and your mirror! You wont be able to get back and you will at last rest!”
….. Perception 18 fail to see in town Perception 24 success to see on docks
Positive Burst affecting Undead only. 9 damage to ALL Undead within 30’. Will DC14 to negate
"Great. Lightning. I wonder which one of the Crones is in charge of lightning. Well, could be worse. Could be raining."
Snark can see the townsfolk are in for the night, but some are looking out the windows. Then he sees what Kristoph sees - undead ambling forward!
"Holy Mother of Pearl! Undead!" He heeds Benni's direction to get in formation, moving to a right flank. As he does he pulls the sunsunrod tucked into his belt and smacks it hard against a rock.
The gold tip of the rod flares to life, casting a cold light 30' out with dim light beyond that.
Then the little gnome echoes Benni's taunts to Jack. "Hey Lolly. I got a few adverbs for ya. Like fatally. Irrevocably. Inexorably. That's us comin' for you Jack, ya lilly livered sea rat."

Snark lit his sunrod. He also decided to taunt Jack.
Cory reached for her bow.
Issac moved to the front and took a defensive posture.
Teddy cast Control Undead. Gore Thum moved forward with the fighters.
The creatures ran out into the street as they shielded their eyes from the streetlights and ran towards the heroes. Kristoph intercepted one with a punch to the chest. A second one rushed at Benni as it flailed its arms about and tried to unsuccessfully bite him. Benni then called upon Flower and delivered a burst of radiant energy to the undead, unfortunately they seemed ready for that tactic and resisted it. The third and final creature attacked Issac though its bite was turned by his armor.
Teddy's spell went off just as the creatures closed the distance. Of the two male attackers, one paused in its aggression.

---------------------------- Enlarge Person - This increase changes the creature’s size category to the next larger one. The target gains a +2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), and a -1 penalty on attack rolls and AC due to its increased size. A humanoid creature whose size increases to Large has a space of 10 feet and a natural reach of 10 feet. This spell does not change the target’s speed. Equipment is similarly enlarged by the spell.

Onesimos sees Teddy’s spell take hold, and feels it wise not to jolt another’s spell. Dropping the woven band of Flower so it falls back to his chest, he wields his buckler and strikes out at the undead attacking Kristoph.
He takes a moment to look about: where is Jack Lolly?

Kristoph hisses as one of the creatures claws rakes down his arm drawing blood. Blusinda hisses as well as she moves into a flanking position (OOC dunno if this provokes but she will either way). Gritting his teeth Kristoph spins and kicks the undead in front of him.
(flurry of blows: 24 and 18 to hit for 7 & 9 damage) his legs are a blur and he starts to sweat.
Blusinda slams into its legs (19 to hit for 1 damage - and requiring a Ref (DC:11) or catch fire, taking 1d4 damage for an additional 1d4 rounds at the start of their turn).

Teddy commands the undead to attack its associates. Gore Thum attacked a creature.
Issac missed the undead in front of him as it flailed about spasmodically trying to bite him. The male undead in the center turned and attacked the one next to it and it's fangs bit deep. As it withdrew it's mouth you could see a form of ichor leaving it's mouth, likely a form of poison that would be debilitating if the man wasn't already dead.

Gore'thums attack isn't nearly as effective this round (13 to hit, if that doesn't miss 8 damage). Teddy will go heal the most injured ally (Snark I think?) for 13 hp.

There was a flurry of action as the heroes dodged and struck, but the only one doing any damage was the controlled undead creature. Meanwhile there was no sign of Jack in the streets. He could be rowing back to the Ghost as they fought, but only to not find his ship where he left it. He was going to be upset certainly.

Onesimos Hague’s the battle and ensures the undead can’t get around the line Kristoph, he, and Isaac made. Maybe that’s why he fails to strike anything vital

Isaac looks at the second undead ready to fight if it breaks free. He makes his way around it so that both he and Benni are flanking the creature. "So at the count of three and put them out of their misery?"

Onesimos agrees, they can’t have the monster running around free, and the scream in Heranmar only gives him more incentive.
He waits, delaying until the others that want to are prepared, then… ”One, Two,THREE”, he carefully chooses and bashes the Undead with his Morning Star, hoping for a coup de grace.

Cory fired yet again. Another hit! Hopefully that would kill the undead. Re-kill. "Hey, hear that? Something's going on over there. Something bad, I'm guessing."

Teddy is glad the fighting is over, but worried about the fights yet to come. He looks at the undead uncertainly. He could try to order it to destroy itself but he's not sure if that will work. It's creator could also take back control of it if they brought it with them. He settles on, "Go into the ocean and find the deepest trench.."
Gore'Thum reminds everyone to check their status and take care of wounds before they proceed (reminder that I healed Snark for 13 hp several posts ago, you should update header)
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 29/29 Tuesday June 28th, 2022 12:56:51 PM
(Thanks for the reminder on my header Mitch. That was pretty old damage.)
(Take 10 on Perception = 22)
Snark senses the opressive feel of this place. "Something's wrong. This place feels opressive, like more oppressive that this town usually does. Which is saying somehting."
He waits for the others to finish off this one undead before moving out to confront the new threat.
He casts Resistance on Benni, granting a +1 to his next save.
DM Jon: Street Light People - Standing in the Street Tuesday June 28th, 2022 4:12:17 PM
Teddy was of a mind to let the Undead walk into the sea, however, his friends put it out of it's misery.
Cory and Snark pick up on the oppressiveness that seems to have settled over this section of town. It's bad enough that everyone who had been watching the battle has closed their window coverings and doused any lights. The fog is beginning to thicken as well.
Cory is fairly certain that the women's scream is close by, within 100' or so of where the party is standing. The scream didn't sound pleasant ...
GoreThum looks everyone over to see who is injured, having already provided health to Snark.
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 29/29 Tuesday June 28th, 2022 6:44:07 PM "Ugh. Fog. This place."
With the undead made into justdead, Snark tucks his still lit Sunrod in his belt and takes off running in the direction of the scream.

Satisified to see the last undead fall, Kristoph looks down at his firecat.
"C'mon girl. Somebody's in trouble. Let's hope their assailant is flammable."
He and Blusinda set off in the direction of the scream.

Onesimos breathes a quick prayer for the fallen to help the souls of those trapped as undead to make it back into the Woldblood for rest at last. The fog bores in, and with it, a feeling of uneasiness caresses the elf. Before he realizes, three of his friends have already dashed off towards the scream.
”But we need a better plan than ‘attack’ “, he mutters to himself. Nothing to do than to pick up Jack’s Mirror and trot off after his friends pretending to be iron men.
…… Pick up Mirror (standard action) Move with friends 20’ (move action)
DM Jon: Running the Streets Wednesday June 29th, 2022 2:44:16 PM
Snark and Cory both have an idea where the scream came from. Gathering everyone up, including Blusinda who is very happy at "playing with the undead," the party moves out.
Benni mentions coming up with a "better plan, than just attacking" especially with not knowing what the group will find.
As you continue the fog seems to get thicker ... you get to about where Cory and Snark "believe" the voice came from. It's hard to see in the fog, even with the street lights.
However, a male voice calls out...
Now let every man drink off his full bumper And let every man drink off his full glass We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass!
There are two figures about 50' (+/-) in the fog. One says, "Ah my lass, those with me mirror have come. Why don't you go play with them, while I find another to share me bounty with."
The one figure seems to vanish, while the other begins a staggering run towards the party
and what do ye do me landlubbers?
Isaac Harker (Justin M) HP 40/40 AC20/ T12 / FF 18 Wednesday June 29th, 2022 3:51:27 PM
As they run toward the scream Isaac sighs "Benni if you got a plan I'm all ears. You want to just set up in the church? That's holy ground right?" As they draw close and over hear the figures "Looks like he's running away." He draws his sword ready to fight again.

Teddy thought the plan was 'catch Jack, fight him, break mirror'. Not much of a plan, but slightly more then just 'attack'.
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 29/29 d20+5=7 ; Thursday June 30th, 2022 1:38:40 PM
Snark waits to confirm the incoming creature is indeed undead from her gait, demeanor, dead eyes, etc.
Assuming it's undead, as it move up he fires another blob of acid. He hits touch AC 7. Oh well.
"How fast can ol' Jack keep creating undead? There has to be a limit or the whole town'll be gone. And how come he's not trying to make undead out of us?"
“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) Thursday June 30th, 2022 2:11:38 PM
Onesimos is thankful for Teddy reminding them the ‘plan’. And Kristoph has a point too. ”What happens if we keep the Mirror away from Jack until dawn? He doesn’t seem worried about it.”
The cleric takes a moment to cast Protection from Evil on Kristoph, making it more difficult for Evil creatures to hit the monk.
DM Jon: Running the Streets Undead Chick trying to "Kiss" Issac d20+6=7 ; Thursday June 30th, 2022 3:20:01 PM
Issac prepares to engage the female undead charging the party.
GoreThum and Teddy prepare to meet another undead enemy
Snark flings a glob of acid at the undead but she swerves out of the way at the last second, and it misses
As people prepare, the topic of "Falling back to the Church and Holy Ground" as a plan gets tossed around
Benni touches Kristoph and bestows a protection from evil creatures, making him harder to hit
OOC: oops, Benni is also keeping a weather eye on the mirror
Cory prepares her bow, and knocks an arrow
The Undead seems to head straight for Issac, hands outstretched, her mouth in a snarl and showing her teeth have become sharpened and ragged, she tries to grab and bite him, and she fails miserably...Issac will have wait until next turn for his "kiss"
For Snark to peruse Highlight to display spoiler: { A male voice, deep and none to pleasant responds to your question, "None save one are fair enough for my tastes, and she has a wicked sting. There are others as fair close by to share my tastes with! } and what do ye do me landlubbers?

Kristoph moves in to attack. He hits AC 13 and 25. Assuming only the second one hit he does 7 damage.
The Blusinda moves up. She slams the undead, hitting AC 20 and dealing 2 points of fire damage. The creature must make a DC 11 reflex save or catch fire for an additional 1 point of damage.

Teddy can cast Command undead one more time. Since the group has already damaged this undead, probably heavily, he makes plans to control the next single undead they run across so they can speed up after dealing with this one.

Snark lobs another glob of acid, but misses the female undead, he also comments on 'Ol Jack's parting shot
Cory fires an arrow which hits and sinks into the undead
Issac calls on his new strength and size and hammers the undead with a massive blow
Kristoph and Blusinda double teams the undead, both striking, and now her right leg has caught on fire
Teddy holds his last Command Undead spell, and GoreThum keeps a weather eye for anymore undead who might be headed the groups way
The undead growls and launches herself at poor Issac, looks like she wants to give him a piece of her mind, she does manage to get her mouth locked onto him for a "love bite." Again, the area where she bites begins to darken and ache ...
Issac takes 12 points of damage

Isaac feels the poison work it's way through his system weakening him considerably. But he decides to fight on he doesn't put his all into the attack again instead opting for a measured attack but misses. regular attack:8 fumble?

Kristoph again makes a flurry of blows, hitting the thing twice for 10 and 9 damage!
But since Blusinda lit the thing on fire, Kristoph takes 1+2 points of burning damage from his unarmed attacks. Unfortunately, he catches fire (relex 9 - fail) for another 2 points of burning damage, and will spend his next round putting himself out unless someone can drop some water on the monk.
Blusinda slams another fiery claw into the thing, hitting it for 4 points of fire damage. Since the undead is already on fire, it takes an additional 3 points of burn damage this round. The undead can take a full round action to put out the fire (DC 11 reflex save, +4 if it is smart enough to drop and roll around.)

With the mirror in one hand, Onesimos can’t effectively use his sling, and is more vulnerable in melee, so he channels a positive effect to blast the Undead. He looks too see if he knew any of the undead townsfolk who Jack has created.
”I didn’t hear that Snark, but he seems to respond to your taunting. Keep at it and see if he gives other clues. He could be talking a half-dozen women in town that I know, and I’ve only been here a month.”
“I agree we should keep making for the Sanctuary of the Sea. The consecrated ground could provide more defenses.”

He will run us ragged and then grab the Mirror. What we need to do is get him reacting to our story. The ship wasn’t safe, that’s Jack’s lair. But consecrated ground could stop him. If we go there, he will have to stop us before we get there. He will have to come to us.”
Or at least I hope so, Onesimos says to himself.
DM Jon: Dancing in the Street, again Monday July 4th, 2022 2:25:32 PM
Kristoph's and Blusinda's attacks/fire is enough to return the undead back to its dead state. The woman is younger, probably late teens t early 20's. You've seen her around town as her father owns one of the fishing vessels, and she helps him with repairing the sails and nets.
Benni and Snark make a plea to go to the sanctuary of holy ground to keep the mirror and party safe.
That's when another female scream breaks the silence
Perception DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { This is scream came from somewhere in the opposite direction of the Sanctuary }
Kristoph: (MarkB for Stephen C) | AC:19 | CMD:23 | HP: 26/31 - Blusinda: AC:16 | HP:21/21 Monday July 4th, 2022 4:48:05 PM
Kristoph runs to the next scream.
AC 20 T15 F15| HP 31/31 Cory .(JD) Monday July 4th, 2022 11:37:38 PM
'Umh, splitting up seems like a really bad idea," Cory said. She stayed with the largest group of the party does split.
“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) d20+6=25 ; Tuesday July 5th, 2022 12:27:12 AM
Onesimos winces. The scream was the opposite direction to the Sanctuary. ”Jack knows it too! He’s trying to lead us away from the Sanctuary! He’s only going to DimDoor away when we get there. The only way to stop him from killing the community is to head to consecrated ground!”
And yet, for 140 years, Benni has heard the tales of adventurers who didn’t follow the warnings of adventure. And Cory just paraphrased the number two rule of successful adventurers.
The armored cleric follows Kristoph as fast as he can.
Gore'Thum and Teddy Treeborn (Mitch) HP 16/32 AC 12/11/12 CMD 11 Gore'Thum HP 15/30 AC 12/12/11 Tuesday July 5th, 2022 8:32:59 AM
Teddy prepares an action to command undead the next zombified victim they see. Hopefully that will let them run right past and catch Jack.
Isaac Harker (Justin M) HP 23/40 AC16/ T9 / FF 18 Tuesday July 5th, 2022 10:27:18 AM
"I'll head with the others to the Church. I don't think we can keep fighting like this" Isaac makes his way to the church with Benni and Kristoph.
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 29/29 Tuesday July 5th, 2022 2:21:52 PM
Snark runs with (hopefully) everyone else toward the next scream.
"I'm not too excited about ol' Jack leading us on a wild goose chase, but why would he come to the sanctuary? If he wanted to tangle with us, he'd a' done so by now. He seems to be trying to avoid us, not come to whereever we're hiding.
"If we go to the sanctuary, he's just gonna keep killing folks or making more minions that're killing folks. "
“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) Tuesday July 5th, 2022 3:18:37 PM ”He is making minions whenever he wants now, whether we are chasing or not. I’m only hoping that changing the rules equals changing the game. Does anyone have a better option?”
Benni literally sees no way of stopping Jack from undead if the whole town if he wants. There is literally nothing the heroes can do to win unless some divine inspiration strikes them.
Benni burns a Hero Point to ‘petition the GM for inspiration’ per Hero Point rules.
DM Jon: Decisions Tuesday July 5th, 2022 3:23:51 PM OCC: Sorry for the lateness, somehow I got Covid last week and my brain still isn't back to 100%
With the death of the undead female, and upon hearing another female scream, the party faces a fast and dirty decision, which is made as Snark, Kristoph and Blusinda, and Benni (who still has the mirror) all begin running towards the scream. Teddy, GoreThum, and Cory appear to hesitate and then join in on the chase as the largest group of people are moving away from the Sanctuary, as Snark eloquently puts it as he beings moving "If we go to the sanctuary, he's just gonna keep killing folks or making more minions that're killing folks."
Hint Highlight to display spoiler: { Jack's not dumb. The longer y'all stay away from "Consecrated ground" the better chances he has of catching you off guard and getting his mirror back ... of course, daylight will begin showing up in an hour or so ... }
Issac states he's "heading to the church," as his other companions begin heading into the thick fog
“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) Tuesday July 5th, 2022 3:38:05 PM
Onesimos calls to Kristoph and the others. ” Jack's not dumb. The longer we stay away from "Consecrated ground" the better chances he has of catching us off guard and getting his mirror back. We REALLY should be headed to the Sanctuary by the Sea.”
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 29/29 Tuesday July 5th, 2022 6:10:26 PM "Gee, it sure doesn't seem right to ingore the cries from the town, hide in safety at the sanctuary, and hope Jack to comes for his mirror. But nothing else seems to be effective in stopping Jack, so let's give that a try."
Snark grumpily stomps back to the sanctuary with Benni. Probably best not to get too attached to this town anyway.

Teddy and Gore'Thum will follow the group. Or whomever picks a direction and starts moving. Teddy will stay alert and continue to have his spell prepared in case Jack attacks them on the way with some undead friends.

DM Jon: Decisions Wednesday July 6th, 2022 4:59:43 PM OOC: I've asked for some advice on what I'm about to do, so if I have to edit the post, that's why
Before the majority of the party runs off, well they make it maybe 20 or 30 feet, the logic behind Issac and Benni's thoughts on the Sanctuary grounds being hallow (or consecrated) make sense. The party hightails it away from the latest scream and out towards the sanctuary.
Jack's frustrated roar can be heard across town, causing lights to turn on and people to look outside of their windows, this time, many are armed.
As the party turns a corner, there's a face made of fog staring at them. Jack's face. Glaring it speaks, "That place won't help you. I'm coming for my mirror, and you won't be able to stop us. I will enjoy feasting on you all." The fog blasts the party with ice-cold air, that has little aftereffects other than now you all want to bathe.
As you start making your way out of town and towards the sanctuary the fog has re-coalesced into what looks like three forms.
The fog clears as the center one waves their hand. Jack Lolly, master of the Black Ghost, looking extremely pissed off, has two new friends. They are easily recognizable as the wife and daughter of the town baker. They both look at the party hungrily.
"Ye've got something 'o mine children. Now give it back, and I might let you live, well, he strokes the two females' heads, some semblance of life ... I need a new crew, and there are so many places to visit and feed."
Now you scallywags, what be you'rn actions, arrrrrgh
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC13 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 29/29 Thursday July 7th, 2022 12:14:32 AM
Snark is surprised that this Jack fella seems to know where they're headed no matter where he is.
"Is this guy omniscient?"
Then he seems to form a face in the fog where he can see us. And just as quickly he appears where we are. "Geez, this guy is omnipresent too?"
As Jack demands that the group submit to him, Snark replies, "Hey Jack - shut it."
He casts Glitterdust on the three undead before they separate.
---------------------------- Glitterdust - A 10' radius cloud of golden particles covers everyone and everything in the area, causing creatures to become blinded and visibly outlining invisible things for the duration of the spell. Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect. DC 16 Will save. Duration 4 rounds.

Onesimos hustles towards the Sanctuary of the Sea, and is not disappointed when Jack shows up. ”I was right! I was… Uh oh, hadn’t thought quite this far. “
Only a quick reminder to himself means Benni has, but he’s not gonna say it because the elf is really bad at bluffing anyone. He has to get Jack to look in the Mirror and then break it, and without the Undead Pirate knowing. The cleric casts Sanctuary, and boldly uses the Mirror like a shield.
”Snark, I think he can sense the Mirror.”
“My spell will keep your victims from attacking me, Captain, and while you are probably too strong, you don’t dare attack me or your Mirror will get shattered by your blow. Your terror ends tonight!”. (Benni tries to weave words to catch and keep Kack’s attention)

Teddy casts Command Undead per his prepared action. He tells the undead female, "Attack the two next to you." That way even if he can't compel it to attack it's master it'll still have another valid target.
Gore"Thum stays back behind Benni and his santuary (how big is that?).

(Cory's arrow may have hit? If the undead she attacked is blinded, it would not add it's dex bonus to AC. This will make it easier for the other undead to hit it as well.)
Snark looks at the glittering Jack. "You look better this way there Sparkie. I wonder how you'll look covered in mirror shards?"
Snark readies an action to cast Grease in front of Bennie if Jack decided to charge the cleric.
---------------------------- Grease - A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful DC 15 Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a DC 15 Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.

Benni gets tripped up in his story, and when he does Jack shakes his head, then looks up at the sky.
When Snark calls him "Sparkie," Jack's head whips around to look at the mirror again
That's the moment when Issac, GoreThum, and Kristoph all attack the mirror ... shattering it ... Jack's scream pierces the pre-dawn night ...
The party watches as parts of him begin breaking off, just like the shards of glass now all over the ground and covering everyone other than Snark, Cory, and Teddy
As the pieces of Jack hit that ground they begin sizzling and melting away, his clothing and other items drop to the ground ... as the last few pieces of him hit the ground, an almost whining, voice can be heard, "No more lasses for 'ol Jack"
Cory spins and fires an arrow at the blinded undead, striking it ... And the older undead smacks the blinded one, doing damage as well

“Benni” AC 18/11/17 CMD12 HP 20/ 20 Onesimos (SteveK) Saturday July 9th, 2022 3:17:30 AM
Onesimos mutters a prayer in relief as the Mirror shatters and the effects are seen on the Undead Captain. ”To the Lands of Unrest, Jack Lolly, and your overdue time to atone for all selfishness, pain, and suffering you have caused. May you retain and remember to love yourself and others without greed or avarice.”
But Benni has little time at the moment with two of Jack’s victims undead in the streets. He draws forth from his belt pouch a vial of holy water and packet of powdered silver. Breaking both, he intones a Consecrate spell, temporarily making a 20’ radius of consecrated ground! ……..

Snark looks around as Jack seems to die with the breaking of his mirror. He looks at the ground where Jack was to see wha's left behind.
But he doesn't look for long - there's still some fighting to do. Snark flings another blob of acid at the blinded undead, but misses (hits AC 8). "Aw rats! I can't hit for nothing today!"
Kristoph: (MarkB for Stephen C) | AC:19 | CMD:23 | HP: 26/31 - Blusinda: AC:16 | HP:21/21 d20+6=26 ; d20+6=25 ; 2d6+8=16 ; d20+3=14 ; d4=2 ; d4=3 ; d4=3 ; d4=4 ; Saturday July 9th, 2022 2:42:51 PM
Kristoph moves up to strike the blinded undead, drawing his Kama as he does. He hits with a crit (confirmed), dealing 16 damage.
Blusinda also moves up, slamming the thing with a fiery blow. It hits AC 14, dealing 2 points of fire damage and potentially setting it on fire (see Burn below.) ------------------------- Blinded The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength– and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
Burn - A creature with the burn special attack deals fire damage in addition to damage dealt on a successful hit in melee. Those affected by the burn ability must also succeed on a Reflex save (DC:11) or catch fire, taking 1d4 damage for an additional 1d4 rounds at the start of its turn. A burning creature can attempt a new save as a full-round action. Dropping and rolling on the ground grants a +4 bonus on this save. Creatures that hit a burning creature with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the burning creature and must make a Reflex save to avoid catching on fire.

Teddy is so relieved the scary zombie pirate is gone his knees go week and he finds himself sitting on the ground. Gore'Thum goes over to check on him and leaves the undead to tear each other apart.
DM James: Sunrise Monday July 11th, 2022 9:34:21 AM
Jack's collapse upon the flagstones of the street, cobbles made up of shells mostly, causes a ringing noise as the metal bits on his person bounce upon them. Smoke and ichor exude from the spot just as blood curdling screams come from his undead spawn as they too fall to bits at the heroes feet.
All just stand exhausted and looking at the carnage as the first rays of light pierce the gloom of the fog and light up the ground at their feet. Bit's of glass, metal, buttons, and buckles glitter in the morning sun as the residents of the town open curtains, windows, and doors to peer out into the street that now seems safe.
In the near distance sheriff Whip appears with two new deputies and move to keep people away from the scene.
"Please everyone, stay back. Evil may yet still have a hold on the area. Allow our heroes to clear the street before we rush them in our show of gratitude."
At the end of the street the baker stood with his apron in hand holding a bloody hand as he looked on at his wife and daughter with a great sadness. Everyone else obeyed the sheriff as the heroes started rummaging through the debris looking for evil objects.
As the heroes moved from undead to undead they picked up what they could. The baker seemed anxious about them searching his wife and daughter and as they reached for the women's jewelry he called out. "Please don't!"
As for the other bodies on Jack they found two magic potions, a magic chain shirt, four daggers (2 Magic), a masterwork composite longbow (+2 Str) with 20 arrows, masterwork whip, a magic belt, magic boots, magic rapier, magnifying glass, spyglass, masterwork thieves’ tools, and Owner’s Papers for the Black Ghost. The undead men which turned out to be the sheriff's deputies they found misc standard equipment and on a string around one's neck they found an abbey key. They could return the key to man's family or try to keep it.
So as the sun warmed the people on the street the harbormaster walked up. "Jack's ship be grounded for the moment til the tide comes in. Somebody'll be wantin' ter move it or it'll smash on the rocks. Ye got a few hours yet though. Nuff time ter get some rest and sum food. I canna get a crew tergether to help when yer ready. Captain Rio said she'd help tow you back to the dock."

Snark steers clear of the women's bodies as asked.
He turns to Isaac. "You mind checking things over for evil? I'll give a look to see what's magic, and if I can figure out what they do."
The little gnome casts Detect Magic on the items. He will use Spellcraft to see if he can determine the properties of the magic. He also has his little bat familiar see he it can help.

Isaac respects the Bakers wishes and only uses his detect evil to detect any evil on the mother and daughter's bodies making sure that Jack didn't leave an odd surprise. If he finds nothing he goes over and detects any evil on Jack's items. Once that is done he heals himself and the party using his channel energy to heal everyone.

DM James: Morning Tuesday July 12th, 2022 2:45:03 PM Snark asked Issac to check for evil as he cast detect magic. Benni sighed in relief that the night had ended as well as the undead threat. Issac healed everyone around. He apologized for the ship. Cory offered to row the ship back to the dock. Teddy ranged far and wide looking for undead that they'd left in the street and collected their gear.
Issac's healing reached out to those around them and included the baker whose hand stopped bleeding. Issac scrutinized the area and the objects and found nothing evil. It seemed as if the evil left the area with the demise of Jack.
Aside from the ownership papers for the Ghost, Snark was able to identify everything.

It wasn't too long and the bodies were removed from the street. All told it looked like Jack had killed 8 people during the night. The ones that hadn't taken a run at the heroes had expired when jack was destroyed.
At the Blue Cat the mood was somber, but the staff moved rapidly to accommodate the heroes. Food, drink, and a warm spot by the fire was all prepared in short order. Throughout the quiet room the people there seemed to give the heroes a bit of quiet space in the aftermath of the battle. Meanwhile Gore Thum tapped the Abbey key on the table as if in thought.

Isaac responds to Sheriff Whip with " I'll help out as much as I can. I'll start as soon as things get settled down around here first. Me and the others are also investigating the haunted church. So if you can't find us that's were we've gone off to."
Isaac looks over the identified items noting the spider climb potion and Magic Chain Shirt.
At the Blue Cat Isaac eats his fill and lays down in a real bed grateful for some rest after the fight with Jack.

Cory picked at her food. "I'm hungry, but I'm too tired to eat." She forced down as much as she could and went very, very light on drink.

Gore'Thum is willing to get paid for a job they are already doing. Teddy is surprised by the offer and uncertain so goes along with Gore'Thum. Both are very tired from the long night.
