What do you mean they're missing?


GM Jon - Day 4 - At the Camp 
Tuesday October 17th, 2023 5:56:46 PM

OOC - It sucks to be an "Older GM" lol ... can't remember something I was thinking about 20 minutes ago when I opened our game tab

As Randolf, the girls, and the remains of the others start off, Manolo runs up and asks the girls a few more clarifying questions: " Tell me, how did she look? Was her skin pale white, like the color of the moonlight? Long and beautiful brown hair? and piercing golden eyes?"

Randolf stops the wagon and looks at Manolo strangely. The girls look at each other, then at Manolo. The older one nods her head. "When she walked out of the woods she was beautiful. Her skin was the color of cream, her hair was brown but done up real nice. She was wearing a dress that mama would never have worn, it, she, well she was almost naked but in a dress. We didn't see her eye color. When she changed, her eyes were like coals, he hair was still brown, but it was full of, stuff. Her dress stayed the same, it was gross to look at her. The men, they, wouldn't stop staring at her."

Torry and Gnubert both agree that evil, in more than one way was committed here in the glade, and that both are ready to "Move out after their prey!"

Ash agrees that due to the "evil present" the group needed to "extinguish it!"

Loryn shares what the old storyteller had shared about the witches' tale. As he is talking, he takes notice of where they are, and where they path is leading. "The old woman, when she mentioned the Frozen Chapel, she said it was in the foothills somewhere in the direction of the trail" Manolo agrees with Loryn on the story and the direction that had been shared

Once Manolo was done with the girls, Drack approached and Randolf and shared that "due to the runes, and the possibility of them turning to undead, burning them might be better than burying them." Randolf looks to the paladin, "That was my thought, which is hard to do as tradition is to bury family with family, but I see your point."

For Drack and Gnubert Highlight to display spoiler: { Through prayer or general insight, this glade needs to be consecrated and/or ritually cleansed to remove the taint that exists now - This is what I had forgotten lol }

Gnubert watches the wagon roll away and turns to the group, "In order for this area to return to normal it must be consecrated. I do not have that spell memorized at this time, but I can tomorrow. If not we should come through here upon our return and take care of it then."

After such a curious line of questioning, Mortimer looks at his own arm and wonders if his pale, white skin was the colour of moonlight.

"Good thinkin', Loryn. It appears this story follows the same narrative, yeah." He then adds, "Drack makes a fine point. Ash was able to discern the hag's trail from the runes ... maybe their purpose was just that; to compel children, with simpler minds, ta follow the same trail." He turns to watch the wagon roll away, "An' there they go, back ta Windhorn."

"Best be off after the other youngin's," Mortimer asserts, "We can consecrate the camp on the way back. Will help dress the wounds of this ordeal, yeah."

So it was a hag! Torryn felt pleased that she'd got something right. She said nothing however. This wasn't the time for preening and gloating.

"Come on, Spot, we need to find the bad guys." With that she set off along the trail, wary for any trace of evil.

"Let's follow the trail while it is fresh. We definitely need to come back here on the way home, and cleanse this place of the evil taint that still exists here. I would like to wait for Gnubert to be able to do it tomorrow, but not at the risk of losing the trail. I don't know what the evil that permeates here can do while we are away. Loryn? thoughts?"

OOC: I'll look in later to see if Loryn and Manolo have posted .. at this point I believe each of y'all have a weeks worth of rations provided by the town. Water can be found or made along the way. Part of the supplies provided would have been personal/one-person tents, and spare blankets, as it can get cold at these heights.

Gnubert nods his head, "I though so as well. Should I start making that spell part of my daily allotment going forward?" The gnome shoulders his bag, and weakly smiles at his friends, "Let's get this done. There's evil afoot!"

As they ride on, Mortimer can't help but feel more confident that the children will still be alive.

"Believe it or not, but that plug-ugly crone is allowin' us more time ta save them youngin's. If left alone with gobbie savages, their bones would already be picked clean. We can tell that ole snaggletooth, 'thanks,' before we liberate her innards!"

"I think you probably should, Bertie." Torryn replied to the gnome. It seemed a judicious use of his magic. For her part though, her main focus was on the trail that had been left and being vigilant for danger. She leant forward in the saddle and whispered in her horse's ear. "Look out for danger, Spot." The speculation she left to others. All she could do was press on and try to ensure that they arrived at their quarry in peak condition to effect the rescue and castigate those that had perpetrated such vile evil. It was what Sacred dancers were meant to do.

" The men were compelled to look at the hag....were they under the influence of a spell? ...
The hag might try the same thing on us". He continues and voices his concerns.
He bumps into someone at random and looks at them saying, "so we just burn the old hag witch or witches and that's it"

Clearing Map

The party follows the trail for several hours. At first the group of goblins and prisoners seems very disorganized, with people walking all over the place. You come to wider spot on the game trail you've been following, and can tell that whoever was walking this way took a break here, due to the smell of a slit trench, and food crumbles. After moving away from the smell, y'all take a short break. The elevation is beginning to rise, and you all notice the change in air and the pressure in your ears.

After a few more hours, around 4pm, the seven of you ride into a clearing...

Perception DC 15+ Highlight to display spoiler: { Just like at the campsite, there is no 'normal' forest sounds, the air is also still and kind of stifling}

Survival/Know: Nature DC15+ Highlight to display spoiler: { the grasses and brush within this glade are sick, and dying, as though their life is being sucked away. The trees also look sick }

(I made each of y'all a letter in a text box, you should be able to click on them and move them around, hopefully)

60' away from the edge you entered is a large stone block. It is black in color, and there is something on it. It's easy to see it's a body. There also looks like there is something, or several somethings on the block with the body.

Gnubert sirs wearily before he notices the stillness of the clearing (PerceptionDC28). The cleric absent-mindedly r7bs his holy symbol and makes sure it is displayed on his chest. Gnubert wipes the sweat from his hands and points to the stone, "What is that?" Gnubert points to the body and tries to get a better look (Perception DC 29)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Torryn noticed the lack of normal sound. She dismounted and told Spot to stay back. She knew that Spot was brave, but this was no place for an animal not accustomed to battle. She then invoked her Fey Armour (Mage Armour). With her magical protection in place, she advanced, bow in hand. She lightly nocked an arrow, carefully listening as she did. The body on the rock was disturbing enough. That there were 'things' near it was worrying.

Like several others, Loryn notes the stillness of the scene and as he dismounts, the gnome comments on it.
Ash mentions a possible trap and then Loryn notices Torrynashkabbeth is already walking forward. The gnome winces. He leaves the question of what is on the altar alone.

(Perception: 12. Survival: 18, got lucky!)

Mortimer senses the sapping of life and vitality in the area. The entropic qualities of mortality is something he is quite familiar with. The area's natural order devolving into chaos was definitely in an advanced state.

After he dismounts, he notices his own vitality had diminished since they rode up on the first camp. (ooc: I'm assuming it's been 6 hours since they encountered the original camp.) So he empowers himself with the forces of unlife once again. He also invokes a simple divination to detect magical auras.

(Mortimer casts False Life. Effect: Temporary hit points. Duration: 6 hours.)

Mortimer asks, "Agreed. Any sign of the ole slag?"

Gnubert rubs his holy symbol as he surveys the scene. The body on the altar doesn't look right, there's something about it that sets the hairs on the back of the neck standing straight up.

Ash determines that this scene is a trap, however a general glance doesn't lead to anything other than the altar and body.

Torry, dismounts and preps her bow and moves into the clearing Highlight to display spoiler: { the illness in the vegetation seems to start at the altar, and is gradually moving outwards in a circle }

Torry's actions make Loryn groan. Loryn utilizes Detect Magic to observe the scene

For Loryn Highlight to display spoiler: { There are seven objects on the altar, all radiate necromantic magic }

Mortimer uses magic to buff himself before anything happens, then uses Detct Magic as well Highlight to display spoiler: { There are seven objects on the altar, all radiate necromantic magic }

Manolo is left with the mounts for the moment, which are unhappy about being this close to the clearing, except for Spot who is watching Torry walk away.

~Well, that's not good~ Thought Torryn as she moved forward. She opened her Fey Sight (Detect Magic) and also invoked her Sacred Dancer ability to uncover Evil.(Detect Evil) With her senses thus enhanced she scanned the area before advancing further.

This done, she moved forward again, trusting her agility and senses, being particularly wary of ambush or traps.

Upon seeing the altar, with the body resting upon it, he tries to identify any runes or symbols. Mortimer, at first, tries to identity the god or power this altar was meant to commune with. (Knowledge [Religion]: 8.)

Then after several rounds of concentration, he discovers the necromantic auras of seven magical items around the body. Mortimer then tries to identify these necromantic magiks. (Knowledge [Arcana]: 20.)

Mortimer immediately draws his weapon as well. "There's seven necromantic objects around the body; probly not the good kind. Gimme a moment to identity, yeah."

OOC: I’ve been mulling this over for two hours, so here’s what I’m gonna do



Detecting Magic – Drack, Torry, Mortimer, Loryn – The altar makes you wants to weep, or run screaming from the clearing.

Drack has drawn his sword, and Ash has a wand at the ready.

The body – it has been expertly skinned … that skin is missing. There is no blood on the body, nor in it, nor on the altar.

Mortimer determines that the seven items are necromantic in nature. Highlight to display spoiler: { The necromantic magic has been used to generate unlife, in some way or another, these things ‘read’ as undead. }

Gnubert, who has his holy symbol out, has moved up within 10’ of the altar can see that the seven objects are hand stitched dolls, each one looks like a party member. As his holy symbol flashes with power, the dolls all stand up … then they all begin singing, and it’s not pleasant

Your blood will run red

Your bones will break too

You've missed our sweet morsels

Now we'll make morsels of you!



The clearing suddenly explodes into tearing noises – Gnubert, Drack, Mortimer, Manolo, Ash, and Loryn are caught in a deluge of razor-sharp wooden splinters

Reflex Save DC 14 Highlight to display spoiler: { You take half damage upon a save }

Torry is able to escape being hit as her friends seem to absorb all of the splinters – what she sees are two figures which have stepped out of the two dying trees on either side of the party

Torryn quickly invoked further Fey Magic and summoned her Fey Shield. (Shield) A ghostly screen of transparent falling leaves appeared in front of her. She noted the position of the attackers.

"Drack! Take one! I'll take the other!" She called with unusual volume. It was rare indeed that Torryn raised her voice. Yet the horror of the scene before her had mad her blood boil. These things would not be hurting anyone else; of that she was determinedly certain.

Trees exploding unexpectedly cause Drack not to react as he would in battle, and he takes the full brunt of it.(reflex save 10). Disgusted by what he has seen so far, he relies on his faith in Domi to look over them, and help this vile evil be destroyed.

Drack takes a move towards the one by the altar and takes a swing.(hits ac 20 and 23 for 15 and 15damage)(Correction. I moved, so only the first swing and first damage count)

"I see undeath here, there on the...ugghhh," groans Mortimer as he recoils from a wave of the most profound gloom! A choir of dismal moans blare from his slack-jawed mouth. There would be tears streaming from his eyes if he had the ability to cry; that well had gone dry long, long ago.

With sudden explosion of the surrounding trees, his eyes go wide as instinct takes over (Reflex: 27, half damage.). He spins and flips backward with the spray of wooden chunks and splinters.

OOC: The damage was from wooden slivers shot from the wooden attackers - total was 25, so half would be 13

Upon everything that just happened, Torry directs Drack to "Take one, and I'll take the other" Torry then summons a ghostly shield to protect herself

Loryn recoils from the altar and its' inhabitants, and following the splinters follows up with a spell of his own ... an area around the wooden enemy explodes in a burst of glittering dust ... The wooden thing shakes its' head, and growls, which sounds like ripping wood

Drack agrees with Torry's directions, and attacks the wooden thing in front of him, his blow strikes but feels lessened in some way

Mortimer does some cool moves and avoids most of the splinters, then prepares himself for actions (holding actions)

Gnubert ducks the wooden splinters, and then uses his mace to smack one of the dolls off the altar like a circus game ... the doll, his own, flies off the altar several feet, and then begins to disintigrate on the ground

Manolo also does some awesome dodging, parrying, spinning, and flipping and ends up behind the wooden enemy, without it noticing, which places him at the edge of the Glitterdust spell ... He's 10' behind the beastie, unless he wants to be closer then you'd have to roll against Gnuberts' Glitterdust spell

Mortimer decides on an action, and he blasts himself (well his doll) off the altar ... by the time it hits the ground, its a pile of refuse

Ash, considering his options, cast a spell to make his friends faster By my math/use of a ruler, the entire party is caught in the spell ... as Drack is the furthest at 25' from Ash, as is Manolo

The thing by Drack attacks him back by punching at him twice It hits twice for 22 damage, bludgeoning

The thing by Loryn steps forward and attacks Loryn twice with two punches and misses both times

"Step back. Loryn, I have it!" Torryn instructed as she stepped up, bow in hand. She loosed an arrow and it burst into flame as it left the string. It then sailed high overhead to plop down harmlessly nowhere near her intended target. 'Great, maybe I don't have it.' She muttered ruefully. That was not part of the plan. Now she could only trust to her dancing and her magical defences.

Manolo attack the tree thingie as it moves and will proceed to attack swiftly if it is in melee range.

after a few precious second he reloads his light crossbow and shoots the enemy.

Haste gives you an additional +1 to hit, and because the critter hadn't acted yet, you treat this as a sneak attack with it being "Flat Footed", so roll sneak attack damage and add half your Rogue level to the damage from your Surprise Attack talent

Mortimer is happy to see the singing doll, in his likeness, fall apart into its various components. However he then feels the thud of something behind him. He spins around and his reaction is, "Sticks an' Twigs?!" Mortimer doesn't know what to make of these creatures attacking Loryn and Drack.

(ooc: Can you describe them: size, reach, etc. I'm assuming they're wooden; what do they look like? All we have to go on are their avatars.)

His indecisiveness is broken by the sting of Gnubert's healing. He winces in pain and gives the gnome a thankful thumbs up.

Since Drack is alone with the beast, he decides to give the paladin some help. Mortimer speaks words of power and a crackling and coruscating ray springs forth from his hand and slams into the creature.

(Mortimer casts Ray of Exhaustion at the Tree Monster with Drack. Hit Ranged Touch AC: 26. Fortitude Save: 17 vs. Exhausted condition: Half Speed, Can't Run or Charge, -6 penalty to Str. and Dex. If it saves, it becomes Fatigued instead: Can't Run or Charge and -2 penalty to Str. and Dex. Duration: 6 minutes.)

Combined with lightning fast speed (Speed 60ft) and an acrobatic maneuver, Mortimer moves to a flanking position behind the creature. He hopes Drack could benefit from the distraction.

(Acrobatics: 34 vs creatures CMD, to avoid attacks of opportunity while moving through threatened squares.)

(occ: Jon, I made a mistake on the Acrobatics check. I applied the speed bonus that you would add to Jump checks. This maneuver doesn't get a speed bonus. Therefore Mortimer will maneuver around the enemy, avoiding threatened squares, and take a flanking position. His speed is 60ft from Haste.)

Loryn blinks, his only real defense, as the creature swings at him missing. Taking a step back, the gnome defensively casts a spell to assist Drack. Manolo had a flanking Torrynashkabbeth and a blind opponent and would hopefully make short work of the creature.

Updated Map

Gnubert, seeing his friends are in trouble, moves and then channels health, targetting everyone but Manolo, who is behind on of the critters [everyone is healed for ... 14 pts]

Critter 1:
Torry fires a fiery arrow at it, and the arrow ends up smouldering in the grass

Ash "Apzay's" the wooden creature, but the electrical attack doesn't seem to faze it

Critter 2:
Loryn, blinking and surveying the scene, turns and fires off several magical bolts which slam into the critter fighting Drack, for 9 damage

Drack uses his healing ability to return 18 health, plus the 14 from Gnubert is 32 health returned. Drack then swings and connects on the critter

Mortimer dips into his magics and fires off a dark and crackling beam ... which slams into the wooden critter, causing it to shake it's head, but it shows no negative effects from the ray

Critter 1 -
Manolo gets off an Attack of Opportunity when the Critter moves away from him and towards Manolo's friends, then on his "normal" turn he hits once with a possible crit, and then misses on his second blow

Critter 2 - Drack hit for 10, Loryn hit for 9 ... it seems displeased with this "taking of damage", especially as Drack smacks it again for 7 damage.

Critter 1: Swings twice at Torry as she's the only target available ... and misses both times

Critter 2: Swings one fist at Drack, and the other at Mortimer - it connects on Drack dealing 7 damage; and it misses Mortimer

Description: The two critters stand about 7 foot tall, probably weigh 400 or so pounds, and look like crude humanoid figures made of wood, with articulated limbs ... their eyes glow a dark red, and it appears they have been made mostly from Darkwood

For Manolo Highlight to display spoiler: { You're stuck on the other side of the Glitterdust spell ... if you move through it, you'll have to make saves, or you'll have to run around it, which you can do rather easily, as you're hasted }

(Chris - Did you add your +2 Flanking bonus to hit? Drack and Mortimer are flanking the wood monster.)

Mortimer is confused. His spell hit hard and did nothing to the beast. That spell would affect anything that was living, he thinks. Mortimer then announces, "I don't think they're alive or livin'!" (Knowledge [Arcana]: 20, to identify.)

Mortimer takes his mithral silver sickle and attacks the wood creature along with Drack. He hits hard several times!

Ash, surprised that his lightning bolt didn't affect the creature, switched to magical missiles, striking the creature for damage

For Ash Highlight to display spoiler: { Between your nature and arcane skills, you recognize these as Wood Golem's which have resistances to many spells, and damage types as they are "golems" }

Gnubert prays and "Blesses" the party (it's a 50' burst, so again, you catch everyone except Manolo) Everyone gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects

Torry fires off two arrows, and both hit. The creature flinches in surprise and pain as the arrows damage it

Drack smacks Critter 2 dealing more damage, and making it angry (it's shaking and it's eyes are glowing brighter)

Loryn casts another spell, and slams three magical bolts into Critter 2

Mortimer smacks the creature twice doing some damage Highlight to display spoiler: { With your arcane knowledge, you recognize these as Wood Golem's which have resistances to many spells, and damage types as they are "golems" }

Critter 2: Swings one fist at Drack, and the other at Mortimer as they both damaged it ... it misses Drack, but catches Mortimer with a critical hit, dealing 19 points of damage

Critter 1: Takes a step forward, and then swings at Ash and Torry as they both damaged it, it misses Torry by a mile, with a surprised look on its face ... it catches Ash with a solid hit for 11 damage

Wood Critter: AC 19
Critter 1: 19 damage
Critter 2: 58 damage

Hopefully this map works

Addendum - Mortimer and Drack have Flanking, and now that Manolo has moved, he and Torry have flanking as well

Ash winces at the brutal hit. Blood pours freely from his mouth.

"Wood golem, you idiot." He says to himself, annoyed.

"Wood fuels fire..."

Ash pockets his wand, and moves his hand while grabbing a pinch of bat guano. He drops a Fireball at K12.( or close enough to catch both golems and not Gnubert or Loryn)

19 dmg, dc 18 reflex for half

I changed the epicenter ... it'll hit both of the golem's and none of the party members ... using rulers to figure stuff out is fun =)

Mortimer receives a massive blow that nearly takes his head off. Suddenly memories of reading about golems from large, dusty tombs flash across his mind. Another memory has him suturing mounds of dead flesh together ... though he doesn't recognize the hands doing the stitching.

Not hearing Ash's revelation, Mortimer declares, "Oye, I thinks these buggers are golems, yeah!"

He continues to slash at the wood golem in front of him.

Ok, so here's how I see this playing out as the fireball spell takes longer to cast than the folks attacking

Manolo had moves up to attack Wood Golem 1, striking it with a savage blow

Torry slams an arrow into the wood golem as well, causing it to flinch

Drack slams Wood Golem 2 for some severe damage, and it drops to the ground in front of him

Mortimer caught it on the way down, but his blows didn't seem to scratch it

Ash's spell then goes off, and with a WHOOSH of fire. Golem 2, who's on the ground, sizzles and pops and the begins to smoulder. Wood Golem 1 tries to throw itself out of the way, but the flames lick at it hungrily ... and it drops to a heap on the ground, it is smouldering as well

Loryn, who had held their action, can now act, as can Gnubert

Mortimer's ears are still ringing from the clobbering he received across the head. He's been in many fist fights. Has taken countless kicks and punches with little to no effect on him. However that slam from the golem was a true slobber knocker.

After Mortimer shakes the bats from his belfry, he turns to the altar with the perfectly skinned body. He restates what he had learned from them, "An aura of undeath, the dolls 'ave." He walks over to the alter to scrutinize the skinned body (Perception: 22.). He adds, "These dolls 'ave our likeness, yeah. The bog witch 'as been watchin' us!"

Gnubert smiles as the majority of his friends remain unscathed. Gnubert walks over to Mortimer, "I know it stings when I heal you but I see you are still a bit injured. Would you allow me to try and patch you up?" If Mortimer agrees Gnubert will cast cure light wounds (7 points of healing).

Loryn was pleased to see the evil things fall, but he also knew there was much more to do. These things were creations and that meant there was a creator. The others were on the right as far as he was concerned, the dolls should be destroyed and the fact that they existed in the first place was unnerving at best and boded ill for the Argentium.
I suggest we pile everything, including the poor soul atop, next to the alter and set it a fire with our blessing and move on."

Assuming none object, Loryn gathers up some wood along with the bits of doll and the skinned corpse. Hopefully one of the others had some oil and a torch. As a last resort Loryn could cast Scorching Ray

Once the unpleasantness is done, Loryn mounts up and prepares to continue to follow Ash

The abandoned homestead with creepy unknown evil statues and the Frozen Chapel would be cool. I would prefer NOT to have council or elders or really anyone in Windhorne be the source of the next adventure.
