FA1 4/9/59 Duergar in Durgeddin's Forge! (277 XP)

 

Simon N. (GM):hi Matt!

"The Glitterhame

Below the Mountain Door lies the Glitterhame, a large series of natural caverns in the heart of the Stone Tooth. The caverns are beautiful: the walls sparkle and glisten with flecks of semiprecious stone, and millennia of sculpting and erosion by water have created sheets of fluted flowstone, delicate stalactites, and majestic stalagmites. Water streams down through the caverns toward an underground river far below."

Ted:Good evening :-D

Simon N. (GM):"24. The Glitterhame

This great cavern glimmers with a faint phosphorescence. The ceiling is almost fifty feet overhead, and bright flecks and gleaming stone formations are visible in the distance. Patches of strange fungi dot the floor, including capped stalks standing as tall as a human and glowing puffballs almost a yard wide.

High ledges rise fifteen to twenty feet above the floor on the north, south, and west walls. Narrow passageways lead off to the north and the south, and a flight of carved stone stairs descends from the western ledge to a path that meanders through the center of the chamber toward a small iron door in the eastern wall. Audible throughout the entire chamber is the sigh of a soft, cool breeze that rises toward the surface far above."

Chris T.:Hi everyone :)

Simon N. (GM):Hi Chris!

Kenny - Syrus:Hey Chris! :)

Hello Matt

Simon N. (GM):GM: Is Muiz playing tonight anyone know?

Chris T.:We know that the Foundry lays to the east?

Simon N. (GM):yes

Chris T.:Not sure about Muiz...

Simon N. (GM):(Hi Muiz!) Who has a light source, other than Strohm's glowing greatsword?

Ted:(Hi Muiz)

Malied:I can keep holding a firebolt :P

Simon N. (GM):GM: I'll NPC Norrin, & Kenny NPCs Erasmus.

LOL @Malied

Ted:I'll scout around the north cavern looking for tracks etc.

Kenny - Syrus:@Simon indeed! I am representing Erasmus tonight! :)

Muiz:Hello Simon

Malied:I have dark vision so I don't really need light

Chris T.:No light sources here

Muiz:Hello everyone

Ted:theres somthing over here on a ledge

Qiviel:Q can channel divinity into her weapon which will emit light

Simon N. (GM):Better to light a firebolt than curse the darkness! But the Glitterhame is already lit by fungal phosphorescence.

Ted roll Survival

Malied:How dry are the mushrooms in here? could I light them on fire? tht will produce a lot of light ^^

Simon N. (GM):They are damp

Chris T.:Fraener eyes up the ledges above. Any sign of movement?

Ted:

SURVIVAL (3)

Chris T.:(To the east, I see stone coffins noted...)

west sorry

Erasmus:Evenin' All. Hope you're all well. I'm just observing tonight for a bit till I have to drop out.

Chris T.:Hiya Tim

Ted:Hi Dude

Simon N. (GM):You can see ancient dwarf sized stone coffins up on the cliff top. Ted you notice that the central trail through the mushroom forest has recent tracks... not many though. They look dwarfish, maybe.

(Hi Tim!)

Chris T.:"Let's check out those coffins?"

Ted:hey dudes, i thought the dwarves had left? theres tracks here

Chris T.:"My folk left centuries ago." (I think :) )

Ted:Ted creeps up to the ledge

Tenho Isotalo, Rogue:"Hm ...Unless some dwarves heard that the Ogres had been defeated, and returned to claim their ancient birthright?" eyes Fraener

Qiviel:Q narrows her eyes at the word coffin and follows.

Tenho Isotalo, Rogue:The cliff rises above Ted. There appear to be stairs to the south ascending.

Qiviel:Coffins could hold undead and such were potentially abominations

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Ted as a half-orc can you see through darkness?"

Chris T.:"THEIR birthright?!" Fumes Freaner

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"so we descend up then?"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"I'll go first" draws Ironwolf

Chris T.:(No Geoff this week?)

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:ascend up :)

(no)

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc (lol my english bad)

Ted:Sssh Strohm im creepin here

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:brb spillage!

(tea on brown carpet, hopefully ok!)

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc (ahh thats bad gonna be a hard to clean that up)

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:A couple dozen large stone sepulchers line the cavern walls, each carved with intricate reliefs and designs and marked with Dwarvish runes.

Simon N. (GM):Twenty-three sepulchers stand here. The lids are carved in the likenesses of grim dwarves in armor. Dwarvish runes on the front of each tomb appear to represent the names of the occupants or the intended occupants. Three of the stone coffins have additional runes carved into them.

Chris T.:F tries to read the runes

Simon N. (GM):@Fraener The additional runes record the occupant’s date of death and the great deeds the dwarf performed in life. Also carved into these three coffins is a warning that doom awaits any who dare to defile the honorable dead.

The names on these three sepulchers are those of Borgol the Old, Gharin Orc-Doom, and Numik the Unlucky. Three of Durgeddin's heroes who fell battling the Orcs.

Each tomb is a marble vault 6 feet long, 4 feet high, and 3 feet wide, with a heavy stone lid.

Ted:Ted uses the magic rope to climb up the ledge

Chris T.:"These are the tombs of the honourable dead of my folk."

"They are watched over in their slumber by the Dwarfvater."

He isnpects more, looking for any with his family name on.

Qiviel:Q will do a Divine Sense

Malied:I'll assit him with investigation#

Simon N. (GM):The rope snakes out & goes stiff, Ted holding it ascends to the top.

Kenny - Syrus:"These look rather messily placed, these coffins....."

Simon N. (GM):The central north tomb bears Durgeddin's name, but clearly has not been used.

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"better leave them alone and explore elsewhere then dont want to wake up the dead"

Simon N. (GM):Qiviel senses nothing.

Chris T.:"Should we check these tunnels first though? We don't want to leave anything behind us."

Ted:hey rope coil around me dude

Simon N. (GM):It looks like the NW tunnel leads back to the Stirge Cavern, where steps ascend to the Mountain Door.

Kenny - Syrus:@Simon yes

Simon N. (GM):(OOC will be less generous w the rope in future - Rope of Climbing

This 60-foot length of Silk rope weighs 3 pounds and can hold up to 3,000 pounds. If you hold one end of the rope and use an action to speak the Command Word, the rope animates. As a Bonus Action, you can Command the other end to move toward a destination you choose. That end moves 10 feet on Your Turn when you first Command it and 10 feet on each of your turns until reaching its destination, up to its maximum length away, or until you tell it to stop. You can also tell the rope to fasten itself securely to an object or to unfasten itself, to knot or unknot itself, or to coil itself for carrying.

If you tell the rope to knot, large knots appear at 1-foot intervals along the rope. While knotted, the rope shortens to a 50-foot length and grants advantage on checks made to climb it.

The rope has AC 20 and 20 Hit Points. It regains 1 hit point every 5 minutes as long as it has at least 1 hit point. If the rope drops to 0 Hit Points, it is destroyed.)

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani Readies to hit any stirges that come close.

and the stirge attaches to the target. While attached, the stirge doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the stirge's turns, the target loses 5, 1d4 + 3, hit points due to blood loss.


The stirge can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 10 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the stirge.

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"is this it?"

Simon N. (GM):Cut into the cavern wall is a small but strong-looking door of iron plates, about five feet tall and four feet wide. Heavy rivets stud its surface, and a tarnished silver rune—Durgeddin’s smith-mark—gleams on the door’s rusted face.

@Fraener, you can tell the door consists of two pieces of sheet iron bolted to a strong frame. A pintle is fitted through the door’s middle, so it has no hinges.

Simon N. (GM):@Fraener It's the door to the Foundry level. Either a really good Thief or the key would get you through. Or a Disintegrate spell. :)

Fraener knows it's only metal-faced, wood between.

Chris T.:"I think we should keep it intact and find a way to open it. It will be a fine defence when we return to live here."

The stairs end at the entrance to an octagonal chamber. The floor is inlaid with cracked, dusty blue tiles, and the walls are dressed with polished marble. Large doors of iron-bound oak exit to the northwest and northeast.

Three cast bronze statues, almost ten feet tall, stand by the west, north, and east walls. Each depicts an armed dwarf. The eastern and western ones carry axes and shields. The center statue is armed with two axes. The ceiling rises in a dome almost thirty feet above the floor.

Simon N. (GM):From somewhere in the distance, you can hear the faint ringing of hammer on anvil.

Chris T.:back

Simon N. (GM):Ted let me know any scouty type things you're doing

Then Mage Hand pokes are the East statue, especially the Axe!

Simon N. (GM):the door opens, revealing a stairway heading up to another heavy door.

(no effect on statues Syrus)

Syrus (Kenny):"OK I think it is safe!"

Simon N. (GM):@Fraener the magic source is half way up the stairs

Chris T.:careful to stay behind the statue, F detects magic ahead.

Simon N. (GM):Illusion magic,

Chris T.:he points this out to the others.

Then advances to where the magic seems to be

Simon N. (GM):As Fraener reaches the halfway point, a magic mouth appears on the north wall & calls out in Dwarvish, “Alert! Alert! Intruders approach!”

Syrus (Kenny):o_O

Malied::/

Chris T.:F steps aside to let the fighters in.

Simon N. (GM):The door at the top appears stone, carved with a glowering dwarf’s face.

Ted:rolls eyes taps out pipe

Syrus (Kenny):OOC Magic Mouth is so Old Skool!!

Ted:cough

Simon N. (GM):It does not appear to have a lock, and is designed to rotate/open away from you.

Qiviel:Q moves up, prepared to face whatever or whoever has been alerted

Syrus (Kenny):"Sir Norrin and Jyrdani we need you up here!!!"

Malied:Malied presses against the the wall to let the meat shields by

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Leave this one to the meat shields, squishy guys." grins

Malied:Malied slaps heron the ass as she goes by

Simon N. (GM):Norrin pushes on the door... it opens easily...

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus throws some glitter confetti over 'Ras and Jyrdani, grinning :)))

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"I'll let Erasmus beat you up for that later, Malied. But do it again and I'll kill you."

Malied:hmm

I doubt it

Syrus (Kenny):"Yikes, what is THAT??!!!"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:This enormous hall is lined with ten great pillars, carved into the forms of giants and dragons, that support the vaulted ceiling high above. Guttering orange torches set in sconces along the walls illuminate the room, and a mighty throne sits on a dais at the opposite end. The walls were once covered with tile mosaics, but they have been smashed and defiled by graffiti. Tiny fragments of tile litter the floor. You can see five other exits.

A small fire smolders on the floor before the dais, where six sleeping pallets lie empty, surrounded by packs and supplies. The sound of hammers ringing on iron comes from beyond the doors to the south.

Suddenly a harsh voice calls from the shadows of the pillars, “Go back the way you came! This is the only warning you’ll get!”

Ted:looks like a lords audience chamber

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani doesn't stand for sexual harassment in the workplace.

Ted:someone's left the lights on...

Simon N. (GM):brb

Chris T.:"A dwarf wizard is close by I fear.."

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus will fire a crossbow bolt towards the Dais

(To where the camp fire is, 80ft)

Chris T.:"Greedy followers of Abathormost likely.."

Malied:"a wizard eh? finally I'll have a fellow arcane practitioner to talk to!"

Chris T.:"There will be little talking if they followthe Lord of Avarice."

Ted:Who's Abathormost?

Chris T.:"He is the God of bad typing and missed space bars."

Malied:"fair enough, then once they're dead their spell books will do the talking ^^"

Ted:LOL

Malied:xd

Chris T.:"Abathor, Lord of Avarice, represents the dark side of my race."

Ted:his curse is upon me alwaz

Syrus (Kenny):"Errrrr are we just gonna stand here??"

Malied:"I thought YOU we're the darkside of your race?"

Ted:a dwarf god of greed oooh nasty

Simon N. (GM):Syrus fires an x-bow bolt across the hall, it clatters off the steps beyond the fire.

Malied:Malied jokes

Chris T.:Fraener gives Mailed the look he reserves for elves.

Malied:"well, no point waiting on a welcome party"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus send in Mage Hand to poke around the floors ahead

Malied:Malied squeezes between the others#

Simon N. (GM):The cavern was formerly Durgeddin’s throne room, banquet hall, and center of authority. Its ceiling is 30 feet high, and the sconces are 10 feet above the floor. The throne looks unremarkable: a simple design of stone that might have been decorated at some point in the past. The graffiti consists of crude epithets in the Orc language insulting dwarves and their ancestry.

Ted:giggles

Chris T.:Fraener imagines himself sat on the throne, once these halls are restored to their former glory

"Behold! The throne of my Grandfather!"

Malied:"let me know when your detect magic is going to fade, i'll start casting mine so we have another up immediatly"

Chris T.:"Will do mailed."

Erasmus Bos (Tim):OOPs, will not use Bardic Inspo!

Ted:Shatter

2 evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 60 feet

Components: V S M (A chip of mica)

Duration: Instantaneous

Ted:Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

A sudden loud ringing noise, painfully intense, erupts from a point of your choice within range. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw. A nonmagical object that isn’t being worn or carried also takes the damage if it’s in the spell’s area.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
