THIS THE FIRST TIME I DO THIS BUT THIS WILL BE FROM THE EYES OF THE MIGHTY BORK PLAYER! AND WELL... HERE YOU GO!
SORRY IF BAD GRAMMAR OR SPELLING OR SUCH, IMA TRY TO DOCUMENT THIS AS IN-MOMENT, 1ST PERSON AS POSSIBLE
--------
So! Backstory of someone touching a leyline and they had to fight and they fixed and then had to figure out the issues with outside force of mist or such? BORK not understand fully but they said YOUR DAD came and brought them on a dangerous path to goblin city. fought a satyr gnome pixie and we on a cliff now of embervale.
louis uses musician feat on violet, shortcake and sentinel.
i now realize this gonna be hard to tell who saying what based off voices lol..
----
BORK and gang look out and see nothing but miasma and darkness and dead trees. we hear a scream from the chasm!
louis and violent seem to fall in!!! disappear to game 3 chat. oh no!
BORK see mushroom map and dm not happy us on cliff saw.
now we climbing down cliff? for sake of saving time he says. survival checks went bad mostly. cool cool dm says
it now getting really dark as we walking thru a dark forest and we arrive at a camp spot now! yay. this going fast tho
belakor is carrying shortcake as we show up and only sentinel and el'drain was ready for a surprise fight! damn init rolls xD
a shambling mound shows its face but theres a shadowy wood woad in the back too. he looks like he has alot to say. he kinda cute too
we start! sentinel is asking shortcake to get off his horse. rude but then gets in good tank spot up front. yay fast beefy ppl. he swings and hits! but the mound strikes back in response. tries to swallow sentinel but he gets out!
el drain hex and pokes it and runs back. no ork spirit i guess. wood woad comes closer but then belakor hexes and gets a big swing! chooses str hinder BUT THEN ANOTHER SHAMBLING MOUND COMES IN OMG AND DM REALIZES THIER CRAZY REACH??
louise turn and he sorc burst it with fire! very cool. and another one! big dmg woo! and then the BORK runs in and gets 2 good swings too! first one looking critical!
shortcake says the other mound smells like teen socks after gym class for vicious mockery and hopes and it doesn't come touch her cuz it gross
violet walks up to the wood woad and asks it about its day? trying a fellow plant folk card. makes bork giggle. it doesn't seem to go well tho. so violet stabs it! and smite! very nice, big hit "sorry buddy we cant be friends" they say. AND THEN ANOTHER WOOD WOAD COMES OUT TOO?? "oh yeh is that how we doing our own kind?" and smacks em. oh boy..
back to top with sentinel and he swings hard at first mound! but wiffs INTO A CRIT! and smite ofc for it to go down. he runs to the wood woads to cover party while el'drain moves in!
..... long break time real quck.....
EL'drain moves out and back and ends thier turn with a polar bear? ok but the wood woads surround violet and smack em as belakor goes to help! with a hex move and shoots at the last shambling mound but completely misses. and then it runs in on shortcake! gets a hit and pulls her closer. oh crap! wait no she shields! and then cancels cuz wanna be closer, SO IT TRIES TO ENGULF AND SHE FAILS! oh crap crap so then louise sees this and ponders before commanding it to grovel. it works! does break grapple like he was hoping but he hexes it too! and BORK run in and smack it too! we working it!
shortcake is mad at it now for dirtying her dress and misses her angry stabs. damn.
back at the wood woads violet misses both thier stabs too. they really hurt and sweating. bork wondering why they ran in like that... but thier horse teleports them off cuz it a fey horse! and they bonus lay on hands themselves. crazy plays. the woads now gang up on sentinel being alone! cant get thru the AC tho as he swings back! gettting a sword in and smiting again. big hit again.
el drain is next with a conjure animal smack in front and uses an owl to cure wounds on violet to the side. a woad tries to run for sentinal but takes a horse kick. still alive enough to get to good clubs in! oh geez belakor takes a greatsword to the mound for huge damage as it swings at me! bastard! bork shake it off and chews on shortcake, "juicing up" from it? oof bork dont like how that sounds
louise misses turn so bork swing and get 2 hits for trash damage. lol... BUT shortcake come in with blade ward! and violet with a toll the dead!
the wood woads come in hard at sentinel, forcing him to heal himself hard for his turn. and eldrain hits em both hard back! one dies!
belakor takes down the mound that was eating shortcake! and bork runs at the last woad and....shit damage but then shortcake shoots it with fire for the kill! yay team!!!
we take a solid short rest and move on. to a very cool map with pretty mushrooms!
el'drain uses an owl to look around and sees "humanoid creatures" up ahead. louise and sentinel approach...
"perhaps the creatures here aren't hostile, but maybe territorial"
belakor takes a step up and sees 2 ooze things on the other side! and some dopplegangers after that?? oh crap
one doppler runs at bork and misses as the others come in too! belakor walks towards a slime and misses his shot, putting himself inbetween of 3 dopplegangers? oh man
but then violent and bork start swinging at one of those and push it off belkor, and gets some good damage on it trying to clear it off el drain too. shortcake poison sprays to the outer group for good stuff. el drain now runs and the op attacks miss! then he calls lightning back on em. fancyyy!!! louise throws an orb and does a ton too! gets a doppler down as it bounces around!
sentinel looks back to see all the chaos and explosions behind them and takes a longsword to the outergroup. and runs back with op attack missing, so he can throw a javlin at a ooze in the back! slows it too! then moves back into the first guy he hit. fancy footwork!
learn the slims are called "oblex" dont expect me to spell it right again. but one comes in at belakor and swings, taking a big chunk out of him. and then eats his memories!!! holy crap! and the other runs up on sentinel! taking shreds
"these things like flesh and bone, i am magic metal and wood!" sentinel cries
the hurt dopples gang on bork but miss cuz bork just that great. yor dad surprise runs in to smack on the outer group thing. "your daddy is home!" and then hides behind a horse lol.
in the back, belakor starts swinging on the oblex in front of him! misses but heals himself a bit. violet rides in to help be'lakor and cure wounds him big while their horse attacks! good teamwork
BORK takes out one on him but misses the other, while shortcake works on oblek on sentinel with more poison and crits!
eldrain is asking if people need heals still, very nice guy. but no one does so he runs in on the oblek with balakor! louise hexes and scorching ray it too! all hits for big!
back to sentinel again with more sword swings! and gets a mighty smite swing!
the slime oobleks make a final hoorah and take a bite out of belakor and sentinel! sentinel gets his memories eaten, much to the dm delight.
last of the dopplers come at bork and get a hit in! both fail to unsettle the mighty bork tho. behind him, yor dad comes at the sentinel blob. doing tons. he may be a gobbo but he mighty like ork! kills it! and runs in as belakor gets the other slime! and a doppler! big turn!
violet sees only the 1 dopple left and gets big hits! even their horse got a good kick! the dopple is pushed back. BORK embarrassingly misses as he runs in, but shortcake comes in hard with a huge witchbolt or the kill! we made it down a "difficult path!"
we move into a clearing in the mushrooms. shortcake and belakor needed to leave tho, as we take long rest for next part. yor dad cooked an excellent vegetable beef stew! sentinel and eldrain are fancy and only half rest while everyone got weird sleep spots. yor dad tells us he cant walk with us beyond this point. gave us a back story about trying to be a musician and not happy with it. then wished on a star and got good! apparently how he got the dad name and became a warlock and left to get milk. big lore drop!!! that was a year ago but thats why he cant show his face cuz he a dead beat and wants us to carry him in an urn. and no he does not have the milk still.
no one does good on keeping watch or even at the init roll when we get jumped by goblin warhorns in the morning! woo here we go i guess
top of round
4 hobgoblin warlords run in. yor dad and sentinel and BORK spread out to run in front of them, making great swings at their respective targets. violet summons their horse back. eldrain goes bear mode and swings. team surrounding the yordad one. good to focus down 1 at a time. bork will try to live till they get here
2 gang on the bork and grapple and swing out, a couple hits
but then louise makes all of them grovel! very cool.
BUT THEN ANOTHER TOUGH GOBLIN COMES OUT OF THE CORNER AURA FARMING??? IT COMES OUT WITH SOME SPELL THAT LOOKED LIKE A FIREBALL but gets countered
the bugbears grovel as maebe(?) comes in to help the BORK swinging, hitting a warlord with a hammer. yordad finishing up the one being surrounded by team. they look over to borks warlords. sentinel swings at his and runs from it, going to the group helping bork.
we all have a laugh about DORK and JORK being BORK brothers
and then the bork still cant roll damage!!!! but violet goes in to the back on the mage guy. good idea tbh. get some good hits in with their horse. eldrain goes back and gets ready as a hobgoblin swings at yor dad, screaming something in goblin and crits him! the one grappling bork misses all as bork laughs louise makes the mage walk toward them, giving op attacks on it to violet and horse. and then also gets made to grovel on his next turn loll
so maebe tries his stuff but rolls 3 nat 1s in a row trying LMAOOO!!!! so yordad comes in with big hits! takes out warlord on BORK then runs on the mage and kills him too! sentinel then turns back on his original warlord swinging! smiting and all, as he does. BORK takes a couple big swings at the last one by him. violet helps in taking down the other guy with sentinel.
eldrain comes in as an allosaur on the one with bork! big hits and makes it prone.
it stands up and says "fuck this dinosaur, my uncle got ate by one" and hits dino eldrain. the other one is very much restrained and etc from the charms. then louise comes in hot on that guy and scorching rays it to oblivion.
now just the one left, maebe guiding bolts it at lvl 4! and Warhammer. it almost down. yordad comes in with eldritch blast it for the kill.
dust settles and we rest.
game ends.
Emerald Plains S0ep01: "Bonds Broken"
Watcher:Cirrus
1. Lvl 7 drogue | Canna
2. Lvl 5 druid | Blake
3. Lvl 5 paladin | Violet
4. Lvl 6 monk | Silas
5. Lvl 5 fruid | Cirrus
6. Lvl 5 Paladin | Goblin Slayer
When we showed up to the Emerald Plains, I thought that we were in the clear for the most part. Every region has it’s… baggage, but something is going on here. It’s something dark and evil. After my full recount, it seems to have to do with something fey in nature.
There was a really bright light that came from the Circle of Blooming Threads, so we went to investigate with Cybil.
We went back to the Gilderspring Grove and devised a plan to go somewhere that I can’t remember the name of. Canna probably remembers. She remembers EVERYTHING people say. Yordad offered to be our guide out to the goblin encampment. He gave us an option – go through a scenic route that would be safer and take six days or we could take the more dangerous route which was effected by corruption and take a risk in partaking in conflict.
I was our lookout on this venture. We made it a few hours heading west before our first encounter with other creatures. I hate fey creatures. Most lie and bend the truth, and the others would rather just be blunt and tell you that they “want to eat your face” like the redcap we encountered did. I didn’t know that satyrs could be so… aggressive either.
Main Objective: Get to the Goblin Encampment. They may have answers for us there. General Notes/Observations:
- Canna with bombs? Not conventional, but I’m okay with it.
- Fey creatures creep me out still. They probably always will.
- The ley lines seem to be opening up some power to something, I just don’t know what that power is.
- Silas has a mean punch that stuns, so maybe put them on the frontlines to stun everyone before we move in to attack?
