LIBRARY
  • Bord and Mak'Ti fly to Library - meet up with Robalar and Kiole again. Robalar interested when Mak'Ti mentions Full Moon Grove

  • She is still asking lots of questions about Lyka's bracers, explains the new rune seems to block divination Magic
  • As they sell her old weapons, she asks lots of questions about the battles and fights the weapon has been in, and gives them a higher price for it, satisfied at the stories (more clues about Sapphire Dragon-ness, think Tony picked up on it but Mak'Ti was not there)

KOCE

WERERAVEN TF

CHAR Saves (Resisting the Curse)

Whenever the character transforms they must make a Charisma saving throw, DC 15, which increases with each failed save or decreases with each successful save. Once the save hits DC 20, the character has succumbed to the Beast and is permanently lost, taking on the effects of embracing the curse. On that same note, if the DC hits 0, the character has completely mastered their inner Beast, and does not have to make any more saves, except during Full Moons.
  • (Started at DC 15)
  • Use for Triggers and Each Willing Transformation
  • 8 Saves
  • 3 Failures
  • NOW at 10 DC

CON Saves (Terror of the Night and Full Moon)

When you take a long rest, you must succeed a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become transformed at a random point during the rest, attacking the nearest available creature a minimum of 2 turns if able. Your actions and bonus actions must be used for melee attacks against other creatures if able during those turns, and attempting to transform back afterwards must also succeed a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. This does not use your limited transformations, and you still gain all the benefits of a long rest if you resume your rest before 30 minutes past. In order to remember the events of this transformation, you must succeed a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw, otherwise you have no recollection of these events.
  • (DC 10)
  • Use for Long Rest and Full Moon
  • Each long rest that you do not transform due to Terror of the Night, you may attempt to gain more control over your transformations by making a DC 10 Constitution Check.
  • Each long rest you kill creature(s) while transformed due to Terror of the Night, gain a -1 modifier to the Constitution Check in attempts to control the beast.
  • If you succeed in an accumulative total of 5 Constitution Checks when you attempt to control the beast, you automatically succeed on saving throws for the Terror of the Night feature except on full moon, in which case you have advantage on the saving throw.
On a FULL MOON, the afflicted character must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw or suffer the Terror of the Night effects with a DC depending on whether the player chose to embrace or resist the curse.
  • Resist the curse - DC 20 Constitution Saving Throw (with advantage since he conquered TERROR OF THE NIGHT)
  • The curse is at its strongest whenever there is a Full Moon in the sky - at that time, if the character has not mastered it’s Lycanthropy, the infected character must make all Wisdom saving throws that cycle at disadvantage to retain their sense of self.
  • DC 10 WIS Saving throw to remember the night if Transformed

For Next Session (review!!)

  • Lyka's new armor - if he chooses to examine it closely (DC 18 INV) he will find that some of the markings contain tiny script, which looks like Githyanki writing telling of the war with the Mindflayers.
