The time of the #SpinachInquisition is upon us!
This is our forth session for the all-out battle of Salvation. We've been in combat for a month (irl), which is definitely a record.
Saal Dreadstroke and his team of elite assassins rode in to Salvation to take the artifact we found in Cyre: the Oracle of War.
We are not being particularly cooperative.
We just scored our first kill on one of the assassins, and have a second in a 4v1 that's about to turn into a 6v1.
Several of the other assassins have been bloodied through hit-and-run actions.
A merchant freed the prisoners in Sheriff's (RIP) Sheriff Station, who engaged the metal snakeboi. They traded their lives to take about half his health bar off.
We are pretty much out of spell slots, wildshapes, and everything else.
I'm about to dodge into the NPC's office to use his bodyguards as meat shields, cuz I've only got 9 HP left.
I'm in the market, so once we get rid of this hellgnoll lass, I should be able to raid the empty stalls.
Belaluur was selling potions of healing, so there should be at least a few in her stall.
I am not a very friendly birbperson
I knew exactly what I was doing when I ran in here. Shybuck ate 5 piercing + 12 poison damage from the hellgnoll.
Druid being druid-y by equipping her pseudodragon with a healing potion
to fix the next person to go down!
Bard joined me in the office and got a fear effect on the hellgnoll to get it retreating
and now everyone if firing into their back as they flee
druid got the fuck out of dodge afterwards, since they are out of Stuff
and now the cavalry has shown up to try and save the hellgnoll
Second assassin is DOWN
That leaves Bo Rogan around 40% HP, Snekboi around 40% HP, and the enchanted armour at 100%.
Saal Dreadstroke has not left the train station.
The armour blew me up, but the pseudodragon fixed me up immediately with a clutch 10 on the healing potion roll.
poop
Bard: How bloody does his butthole look?
DM: uh he doesn't really have one, thankfully
Bard: HOW DOES HE POOP
DM: he's just kind of a glowy enchanted suit of armour. he does not poop.
Sorc using minor illusion to try to distract the snekboi about to murder our cleric.
AND IT WORKS! Cleric lives another turn!
Honestly it was a great way to buy time. We're one turn out from bringing down the enchanted armour in the little office!
Then we can focus fire snekboi.
Salvation's resident apothecary, Bertran Squall, was alerted to the situation by our druid as she flees the town.
Squall has sallied forth to apothocarry the team.
YEE YEE
ENCHANTED ARMOUR ASSASSIN DOWN
- [x] Ganji Saberhands
- [x] Yrgna Bloodfist
- [x] Indomitus
- [ ] Sardzarka (20%)
- [ ] Bo Rogan (40%)
- [ ] Saal Dreadstroke (100%, noncombatant at this time)
Snekboi has fled the market.
We have a moment of respite. Hopefully I can loot some potions of healing...
The druid has fled Salvation.
DM: Are you sure? There is actually some shit that will go down outside of the map...
Druid: can't be helped
Me, who saw some spoilers when googling an NPC that I thought was Lore Important and knows what is about to go down: 🤕
The illusion the sorc did was so good that the snek is like, a block down the road.
He had made it sound like the ogre Bo Rogan was calling for help.
I used the respite to loot Belaluur's stall for x2 Potion of Healing.
DM: Druid, you are being attacked by the Death Dogs.
Druid: ok
DM: I dunno their CR but there are probably enough to maul you
Bard: afterwards, will we just see her mauled corpse?
