Ep 118 30/3/4720 - Whispering Way defeated, Bone Grimoire seized.

Erigantus flees via Dimension Door, his two Totenmaskes following. His other companion Yssyr is banished then slain.

YSYYR | Return of the Runelords | Obsidian Portal

 The Bone Grimoire is found at his camp in the Brothers' refectory.

Book of the Loremaster (Rare) - This digest-sized book contains a seemingly random collection of words, phrases, and strange mnemonic aids. Three times each day, a Bard (only) can consult it to gain a +5 bonus when making a knowledge-based ability check.

Simon N. (GM):Hi Chris! Hi James! OK restarting now at top of round.
Victor Septimus:where abuts is my token in these maps?
Chris T.:Bottom of the stairs?
Simon N. (GM):#23 the two Turned Totenmaskes can't get past Victor on the narrow stairway (bottom left of map) so they flee SE.
Slamming the cell doors shut behind them.
Victor & Mal you are on the Overshrine Balcony: The Overshrine
A ten-foot-wide balcony encircles a wide, open chamber
below, the edge adorned with a decorative wooden railing
that has suffered damage in several places. Splashes of longdried
Simon N. (GM):blood mar the floor here and there. Doors line the
balcony’s north and south walls, with a few more exits to the
east. Below, a large stone dais supports a mound of bloodsoaked
rubble.
Quillax is 20' below in the main Shrine of the Seal: A great object once sat here, atop a three-tiered stone dais,
commanding a place of prominence in the middle of a chamber
Simon N. (GM):whose walls are lined with statues of kneeling stone monks. Now,
all that remains of what was once on display is a pile of bloodsoaked
gravel and chunks of decaying flesh and shattered bone.
Ruk is still upstairs.

Simon N. (GM):If you are heading down it's 30' to bottom of stairs.<<
Rukvara:Ruk moves down the stairs, can she reach any of the enemies?
Simon N. (GM):Ruk bounds down the stairs, as she reaches the bottom she sees two hideous faceless undead fleeing SE. Ahead of her the second Baykok flying archer is shooting arrows down at Quillax below.
You could throw javelins at the Baykok but can't melee this round.
Rukvara:Javalin throw at the uglyist of the two :P
Simon N. (GM):The Totenmaskes disappear out of sight, slamming doors, but you can throw at the Baykok (2 javelins).

#11 Victor your go
Victor Septimus:Victor advances 30 ft
Simon N. (GM):From the balcony you can see Q Fire Elemental burning undead monks below.
Victor Septimus:
Command
1st Level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60ft.
Components: V
Duration: 1 round
You speak a one-word command to a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or follow the command on its next turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn't understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it.
Some typical commands and their effects follow. You might issue a command other than one described here. If you do so, the GM determines how the target behaves. If the target can't follow your command, the spell ends.
Approach. The target moves toward you by the shortest and most direct route, ending its turn if it moves within 5 feet of you.
Drop. The target drops whatever it is holding and then ends its turn.
Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means.
Grovel. The target falls prone and then ends its turn.
Halt. The target doesn't move and takes no actions. A flying creature stays aloft, provided that it is able to do so. If it must move to stay aloft, it flies the minimum distance needed to remain in the air.
At Higher LevelsWhen you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can affect one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.
Simon N. (GM):The flying Baykok & Erigantus on the far side.
Victor Septimus:oh i wont do that spell
nm
Simon N. (GM):(Painful wall of text!)
Victor Septimus:oh is that little bony thing down or up?
Dont need to read it all
Simon N. (GM):Maybe just tell me what you're doing & paste the spell if I ask :)
Victor Septimus:when i use it ill tell you what its for
Simon N. (GM):The flying archer is about 10' above your level, 30' above Quillax.
Victor Septimus:ok well i will use command and say "approach!"
Simon N. (GM):Erigantus is standing on the balcony looking villainous, black cape swirling.
on who?
Victor Septimus:ddc 19 wis save or move up to its speed on its turn towards me
Simon N. (GM):The Baykok?

Looking into the ruined library you see "This room may have once been a library, but the walls have
recently collapsed, leaving the room in ruins and most of its
books destroyed." Of more interest is the strange and hideous creature that was reading a book in here - a Caulborn!
Looking annoyed it stands, raising a Kukri. "Ysyyr! I told you I was not to be disturbed!"
Rukvara:that looks..,unpleasent

Simon N. (GM):#10 Yssyr - Ruk hears its cold dry voice in her mind. "Erigantus! sigh I suppose I shall have to deal with them then..." it drinks a strange bubbling concoction. It starts to become blurry, its movements becoming unnaturally quick (blurred AND hasted)
It moves up and shuts the door in Ruk's face. "Excuse us a moment."

Simon N. (GM):The Caulborn as far as you know are Prime natives, so it should be back.
Quillax:Good thing Q learned the basics of Giant while spending so many years with Claw :D
Rukvara:she ios also holding an attack until the banishment finishes or one minute passes
Chris T.:Mal repeats her warning about the possible rerturn..
Victor Septimus:Ready a slash from the longsword
Simon N. (GM):You can roll DC 18 Investigation checking out what's left of the books here.
Chris T.:anyone any good at that?

Nope, but Timeglass helps a lot :D
Chris T.:it would seem so :)
Rukvara:(The giant words that Ruk is using would make sailors blush)
Chris T.:hehe
Simon N. (GM):"Damage during the fight against the
Whispering Way resulted in the devastation of
what was once a well-stocked (if small) library. In
the months since the fight, one of the Whispering
Way agents has spent most of its time here, sifting
through the remains and doing what it can to
Simon N. (GM):salvage arcane lore preserved within the tattered
books. This cultist is a hideous creature named
Ysyyr, a native of Kaer Maga and the one responsible
for alerting the Whispering Way to the possibility that
the Brotherhood guarded one of the three seals. A
creature known as a caulborn, Ysyyr has little interest
Simon N. (GM):in leaving Kaer Maga’s underworld, and it has arranged
to become the keeper of this site once Erigantus and
Woaerym eventually move on. Ysyyr is more interested in
the mysteries of history than contemporary battles, and it
won’t attack the PCs unless they disrupt the work in here,
where the creature sits on the bare ground painstakingly
Simon N. (GM):piecing together torn-up pages from thousands of
different ruined books...."
Chris T.:With Mal's helmet she understands every word and blushes furiously.
Simon N. (GM):Of the books that have been mostly restored,
most are relatively mundane accounts of philosophy.
There is very little here of interest to anyone seeking
the remaining seal imprisoning Tar-Baphon. A PC who
succeeds at a DC 18 Investigation check, however, picks out
the one book that appears to have survived the room’s
Simon N. (GM):damage quite well—this is a "Book of the Loremaster"
Quillax:Q carefully collects it
Simon N. (GM):You can check out the Book of the Loremaster later - as the minute ends, Yssyr reappears on init #10. your Readied attacks go off on him
Rukvara:Ruk was holding
Simon N. (GM):you can all roll. he's still burry

Quillax:Sorry, that should be +8, so the last one is a 20
For a slam
Simon N. (GM):w disadvantage?
Quillax:With adv from timeglass ?
Simon N. (GM):negates
so just count the first roll - miss
Quillax:which is fine, there are two attacks so the second counts as second attack
Simon N. (GM):hum ok
I don't normally let monsters ready a multi attack though!
Quillax:Unless a readied attack is only one out of a set?
Simon N. (GM):The rules are blurry :)
Quillax:I'm cool whatever you decide :)
Simon N. (GM):you can hit, roll dmg

Victor Septimus:So we get to multi attack on a ready attack?
Simon N. (GM):no PCs definitely don't
Extra Attack says "on your turn"
monster multi attack does not have that limitation
Victor Septimus:Im aware of the rules. Your little talk there seemed as if there was an extra attack getting addd in
added
Rukvara:Ruk is now Exhausted btw, Rage timeed out
Simon N. (GM):Quillax is in elemental form James II
Victor Septimus:I'm clre
Simon N. (GM):So using a monster stat block
Victor Septimus:Cool. I'm just making sure i'm not missing a houserule as i'm not aware of all yours yet.
Simon N. (GM):It's ambiguous whether monster multi attack (not PC extra attack) can be Readied.
ok
GM: Checking Banishment, looks like Quillax could let it end right after the monster's turn?
So #9 Mal then #9 Quillax to go
see if you can kill it before its go :)
Chris T.:Mal, bonus action Shield bash it to the floor then bonus action to attack it
Simon N. (GM):sorry Mal could end it not Quillax could end it

Rukvara:soz, lag
Simon N. (GM):Rukvara chops off the foul beast's head!
Rukvara:ignore sefcond
Simon N. (GM):You have defeated the Whispering Way (well, 2 dead and 1 fled)
Rukvara:Ruk Brweaths heavily, looking a little tired
Simon N. (GM):The library seems to have been looted off its best books though.
Chris T.:But no sign of the Bone Grimoire :(
Rukvara:Double exhustion
Chris T.:Which is what we came here for..
Simon N. (GM):Ruk looks tired
What are you doing now?
Chris T.:It's 6PM
Simon N. (GM):you can have 5 mins
Quillax:Q will carefully pack away the one book they found.
Chris T.:There are many doors to search and there may yet be secret hiding places within the librARY?
Rukvara:I'm happy to call it, hear, i have dinner arriving in a sec
Simon N. (GM):Ruk sits down and has dinner.
Chris T.:M will continue to search
Rukvara:speed haved and dis on abkily checks
Simon N. (GM):(short resting - can restore 2 exhaustion levels in 2 hours Ruk)
Rukvara:we ending the session?
Simon N. (GM):Where is Mal searching?
Quillax:Do you need a lesser restoration?
Will that fix it?
Chris T.:She has the Locate Object spell if that helps?
Simon N. (GM):You cast Locate Object - Bone Grimoire?
Chris T.:yes please
Simon N. (GM):It's about 40' north of you.
Chris T.:behind the double doors then :)
Simon N. (GM):This once much larger chamber seems to have originally
been a communal banquet hall, but now the large tables,
elegant chairs, and chandeliers lie in rubble on the floor, and
the north and east walls have collapsed into ruin. A small but
relatively comfortable looking campsite has been erected to
the east.
Simon N. (GM):In the campsite, the hideous Bone Grimoire sits on a reading table by Erigantus' camp bed.
Good bedtime reading.
Chris T.:yay! "We found it!"
Simon N. (GM):OOC I really thought for a moment you were going to walk out & leave it. :D
Chris T.:Search and rest?
hehe are we that hopeless? :D
Victor Septimus:"looks like your big friend could use some time to recover"
Simon N. (GM):Erigantus has gathered
what treasures he could from
the shrine, and has now organized
these prizes in his campsite. This
collection of valuables includes
2,500 gp in minor trinkets (silverware,
Simon N. (GM):jewelry, gemstones, and the like), but also a
partial collection of ancient stone tablets that
weigh 15 pounds each. Each of these four tablets
functions as a divine scroll. The spells contained
on the tablets are blade barrier, heal, shield of law,
and wind walk. Other treasures include an illuminated
Simon N. (GM):manuscript describing in excruciating detail the culinary
habits of a bloatmage named Chundakus—a disturbing,
oversized text almost a foot thick and 3 feet wide that
weighs 45 pounds and is worth 3,000 gp; a marble-andobsidian
sweetmeat dish with a rim decorated with silverencrusted
imp canines worth 600 gp; a superb mandolinlyre
Simon N. (GM):(a lyre of building) painted with an astonishingly vivid
urban scene; a rolled-up Minkaian rug depicting dragons
feasting on laughing monkeys worth 750 gp; and a lectern
of wood and iron that depicts a wolf devouring lambs
with angelic faces.
Victor Septimus:"i wouldn't mind tending to my wounds either"
Chris T.:Mal 184/184
Quillax:Q will put everything into a bag of holding that looks interesting.
Chris T.:"Rest. Then we must away to the City of Xin!"
Quillax:She then holds out some Keoghtom's ointment jars to anyone interested.
Chris T.:"Zutha's doom is upon him...£"
Quillax:(lesser restoration doesn't do exhaustion, I don't think...)
Victor Septimus:Victor extends a hand
Rukvara:Ruk needs to take abth in oinmenty
Victor Septimus:resting does.
Rukvara:short rest does it, don't worry :)
Victor Septimus:Simon can we short rest here at all>
Simon N. (GM):(Exhaustion needs Greater Restoration yup! Bit silly IMO)
(Exhaustion is worse than death in 5e!)
Rukvara:"smn agreed
Quillax:it's 2d8+2 per application and a jar has 5, so take what you need.
Chris T.:(Hakeem remembers it well....)
Simon N. (GM):You may short rest now!
Rukvara:it can eventually lead to it !
Quillax:(I can do greater restoration if the short rest doesn't cure it)
OK, I'm going to say good night and kick Simon onwards so he gets to the pool :D
Victor Septimus:Victor takes a corner and takes a seat
Simon N. (GM):GM: Erigantus and his Totenmaskes flee the Shrine of the Seal, cursing his bad luck at getting caught up in an epic level adventure when he's only Tier III...
Chris T.:Thanks Simon! Have a great week all and stay safe.
