Seraphus:"Your connection to the server is interrupted"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Kasumi you slipped away from Feathergale Spire where Thurl Merosska left you in charge & you find your friends facing minotaurs in the Fane of the Eye
Tony:we need to build a roll20 competitor...
sharatu:"i think we should just leave these Minotaurs alone because were obviously in fire cult territory meaning were going the wrong way and we don't have time for another fight"
Simon N. (GM):I hear Foundry is good :)
Tony:I agree sharatu... how?
Kasumi:Just in the nick of time! I'm sure minotaur horns must be worth something!
sharatu:walk out? im not sure
Simon N. (GM):GM: Sharatu you attack the minotaur?
Alani (Phil):Foundry looks excellent but hard work it seems...
Simon N. (GM):Seraphus you attack the minotaur?

I think one of those was a hit, definitely not the other, but not sure on the third

Seeing his friend being killed might make him think twice?
Simon N. (GM):You already got 6 on Intimidate
They don't seem scared
Rhennya:We don't want more trouble, we just want to find the Air node

Simon N. (GM):LOL
Dagny:Are you going to talk to them Sharatu?
Simon N. (GM):BTW there are ancient demon summoning runes on the floor here, badly corroded.
sharatu:i tried but it failed
Simon N. (GM):#5 Dagny
Alani (Phil):Demonic? No elemental?
Dagny:Can I read the runes?
Simon N. (GM):They look Elven
Rhennya:OOh, so I can?
Dagny:so primordial or abyssal wouldn't help then
Rhennya:I speak both Elvish and Sylvan
Simon N. (GM):Yes. Rhennya this looks like ancient Drow runes to summon demonic forces, but they are too corroded to use.
Dagny:oh, actually Rhennya should be above me anyway
since I'm -1 init
Simon N. (GM):Not a rule in 5e :)
Dagny:ok
Is anyone badly injured? As I look around
Simon N. (GM):only minotaurs!
Alani (Phil)::-)
Dagny:Ok...
"I am Dagny Glintshield, healer and I pledge that we do not seek your destruction, but only that of the cultists attempting to take down the entire valley!"
My voice booms in the cavern
Simon N. (GM):language?
Dagny:OOC I've got Common, Dwarvish, Primordial and Abyssal...with my knowledge, what would I think would be best to use?)
Simon N. (GM):roll INT (Nature)

NATURE (0)
Simon N. (GM):You have no idea :)
Dagny:I have no idea. So I say it in Common
And repeat it in Primoridal
sharatu:would i know since i have two serving me
i think its abyssal
Dagny:Then I say "As proof of this, I offer to heal your wounded brother"
"If you let us go on our way so that we can defeat the ones that threaten us all!"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Dagny what Sharatu says sounds right - they speak Abyssal as their native tongue
Dagny:Can I use persuasion
I'll be happy to repeat my grandiose speech in Abyssal as well
making sure to roll the R's
Simon N. (GM):OK you can roll Persuasion or Intimidate

Simon N. (GM):They don't seem impressed... until Dagny repeats in Abyssal. They flinch and take a step back.
GM: If you allow it, the worried minotaurs fall back.... go out of combat?
sharatu:yes
Tony:yes please
Dagny:It's okay with me
Rhennya:Yes
Alani (Phil):Wooohoo!
Dagny:I wave a hand to them in salute
Alani (Phil):(muffled)
Tony:run west
Rhennya:Let's run to the west to find the Air node!
Dagny:If I know any minotaur proverbs, I call it out after them
Kasumi:Kasumi is disappointed but I'm definitey not!
sharatu:we need to retrace our steps because air should be west and were currently north coming from the west
Alani (Phil):I pick up my arrows from the dead minotaur...
Dagny:OOC: Obviously, I sound taller in Abyssal
Simon N. (GM):You see a big minotaur watching you warily from the east cave, but doesn't seem inclined to attack.
Alani (Phil):And furrier
Rhennya:OOC or deeper, Dagny
Tony:anyone else coming?
Dagny:OOC what would a minotaur proverb be? May your mother's milk be sweet and the your horns always gore true?
Simon N. (GM):sounds good :)
Kasumi:Dynamic lighting always does my head in!
Simon N. (GM):GM: Are you returning to the howling pit?
Alani (Phil):To the group:Shall we jump in the howling pit?
sharatu:sure sounds like a good point
Tony:with back packs
Kasumi:Ok!
I'm lost lol
Tony:south east
Simon N. (GM):Sharatu finds the pit!
sharatu:i form my wings
Tony:backpack
Dagny:Dagny pants, hey, I've got stumpy legs!
Kasumi:Can you move my token please Simon I'm totally lost.
Simon N. (GM):Wind howls as it climbs this dark shaft.
Rhennya:I'll take a backpack too, saving my Wild Shape
Dagny:I'd picked one up previously
Tony:Kasumi we are south
Kasumi:Thank you!
Simon N. (GM):GM: the shaft is rough and could be climbed down with lots of DC 10 Athletics checks
Kasumi:How about Acrobatics?
sharatu:how wide is it
Dagny:What about the backpacks?
Simon N. (GM):Or you could fly, or float down with the balloon packs
Seraphus:ill fly down when they go
Tony:I can use my wings, kasumi can have my pack
Dagny:I should very much like to float. I have always dreamed of being a butterfly.
Kasumi:Thank you Ralph!
Tony:np
Simon N. (GM):Acrobatics ok Kasumi, DC 10
Kasumi:Oh in that case I don't need the pack, but thank you Tony.

Simon N. (GM):Kasumi can't fail a DC 10 so can basically walk down the shaft wall :)
Tony:I float down
Kasumi:Like incy wincy spider!
Simon N. (GM):GM: You all descend into the Deep Dark Pit...
Kasumi:Off I go........
Tony:the jaws close around us...
Alani (Phil):I get my backpack on and float... emitting a silly "whhoosh" noise with my mouth...
Kasumi:Woooooo!
Dagny:Dagny mutters a prayer to Moradin the whole way down
Tony:tpk
Alani (Phil):It feels like I am playing that old arcade game "Gauntlet" when you move to another level by running in a small pit...
Simon N. (GM):Roll20 being bad
Dagny:I can only see something if I zoom out all the way
Kasumi:I can't see :-(
Tony:blinded by the...dark...
Rhennya:I see nothing, and I have Darkvision
Tony:here it comes
Alani (Phil):Nice "Blue oyster cult" reference, Tony! ;-)
Simon N. (GM):it lost tokens
I've turned off dynamic lighting
Dagny:Dagny has her eyes closed
Tony:y are starting to appear. We are materialising
Rhennya:Woo-hoo!
Simon N. (GM):are you able to change your token sizes?
Tony:nope
Dagny:not that I can see
Kasumi:It's just like Alice in Wonderland!
Tony:feels like Alice in Wonderland
Dagny:I ate the cookie!
Tony:ha, great minds..
Rhennya:No biscuits, though
Simon N. (GM):Very Alice in Wonderland yes :)
You feel bigger again...
A subterranean wind blows north, up the tunnel, carrying distant screams from the south.
Dagny:Is everyone feeling okay?
Do you need anything before we go on?
(like a hEAL?)
Kasumi:That was.....interesting!
Alani (Phil):I am good thanks!
Tony:I'm down 27
Dagny:Do you want a heal now?
Tony:ok
sharatu:"hey kasumi and dagny can you remind me what your "friends" look like so i can avoid blasting them
Tony:how long does commune with nature take
Dagny:You are my friends.
sharatu:no the guys in the air cult
you like
Simon N. (GM):N4. Storm Chasm
A chasm divides the subterranean passageway, which continues on the other side ten feet away. Fog obscures the chasm's depths.
Dagny:Oh, you mean Longlegs? He is elven and quite fair of face.
Simon N. (GM):N6. Breathless Cave
Giant spiders are seized in death among dead cave lizards, giant bats, a carrion crawler, and a female drow decked in fine chain mail, with ruby-pommeled knives at her hips. No injuries are apparent, and the smell of death is fainter than one would expect. At the back of the cave, within ten feet of the drow, a breeze whistles through three tiny fissures in the rock.
Longlegs' name is Elian BTW :)
sharatu:a bit more description dagny there could be more than one elf and there all fair of face
Dagny:OOC Elian!
To be fair, Sharatu, I confess they all look the same to me. Unbearded lads, all of them.
Tony:Go north?
Simon N. (GM):The chasm depths are obscured by fog.

Kasumi:And don't forget Thurl Merroska!
Simon N. (GM):Alani & Seraphus see lightning flash in the depths
Dagny:Do we trust Thurl?
Kasumi:That's a good point, that letter was a bit suspicious.....
Tony:Eagle vision
Dagny:Any farther than we can throw him? Elian is a bit...simple. I do not think he knows what is really going on.
sharatu:what does thurl look like so i can not kill him
Kasumi:Ah, never mind Sharatu, kill away!
That's always been my motto anyway!
Rhennya:Where is the wind coming from?
Simon N. (GM):The NW passage is icy
Winds howl through the caverns
Dagny:CAn we hear anything?
other than wind?
Simon N. (GM):ok hold up
N2. Deadly Pool
The temperature plunges in this cave, which is dominated by a frozen pool. Ice crystals glitter on the walls, floor, and other rock formations. Snow whirls about on strong gusts.
Dagny:Is that a chasm I see before me?
Rhennya:Have our balloon backpacks been used up?
Dagny:Go back across the chasm or go past the deadly icy water to the NE?
Rhennya:Is the ice solid enough to take our weight?
Simon N. (GM):The balloon packs are still good (last 10 minutes)
Alani (Phil):Maybe Sharatu can melt the ice?
Simon N. (GM):

Dagny:Isn't that a path along the side?
sharatu:or we could just go round on the stone path
Simon N. (GM):You could edge round the frozen pool of liquid ice
Rhennya:OK, so some sort of magical ice
I'm happy to go around then
after some of you!
Kasumi:My unarmoured movement grants me ability to move along liquids without falling.
Simon N. (GM):Suddenly, the air grows very warm. Water rains from above. The ice cracks, and thick waves of steam rise from the pool. Bobbing among the breaking ice, the bloated bodies of small humanoids stare up with wide, dead eyes.
sharatu:do we hear any chanting at this point
Kasumi:Oh......
Simon N. (GM):It's very hot now
The water bubbles, boiling. Boiled dead gnomes float inthe water
Dagny:Oh great, zombie soup
Tony:run
Rhennya:Yuck, the smell!
Simon N. (GM):GM: You carefully edge round the boiling pool

Dagny:very, very carefully
Rhennya:Still no chanting?
Simon N. (GM):N3. Oubliette
Gore spatters the floor and walls of this windy cave, and the floor is strewn with dismembered humanoid corpses. A windy cyclone moves among the remains. A shaft in the ceiling leads up farther than you can see.
No chanting over the howling wind, no
Dagny:This is not a pleasant place
Simon N. (GM):A red cyclone circles the shaft, spattering gore everywhere
Alani (Phil):This looks like the exit once we'll be done...
Rhennya:Is the shaft wide enough for us to fly through?
Simon N. (GM):A very bloody air elemental!
Tony:bloody or bloodied
sharatu:not the right way evidently so lets not get caught up with it
Simon N. (GM):You see a human head wih the air symbol cut into it.
Alani (Phil):Ouch!
Tony:run away!
Simon N. (GM):The elemental is currently ignoring you.
Dagny:Anyone we recognise?
Kasumi:May I do a religion check Simon?
Simon N. (GM):@Dagny no
Male w droopy black moustache
Dagny:I tiptoe quickly away
So, dead hipster elemental
Simon N. (GM):N8. Wind Chorus
Wind rushes through this curving natural passage and off into the darkness beyond, howling in a changing pitch as it feeds through the alcoves and fissures of faraway caves.

Oh dear. Is 6 bad?
Dagny:I take a step back and shake my head. Serka would never use that tone with me!
Simon N. (GM):Kasumi you hear Vanifer the dead Fire Prophet''s voice. "You fool! You're going to burn!"
sharatu:"whats wrong dagny why are you shaking your head?"
Dagny:Serka never talked of failure, only of hard-faught battles. Dagny shook her head again.
"There are voices in the wind, Sharatu, but I do not trust them."
Kasumi:But....you're dead....I saw....your head hewn from your body........
Tony:run away
sharatu:"i don't hear them you might have to run some tests"
Kasumi:Kasumi's Stillness of Mind penetrates the fear and allows her to shake off the voice.
Tony:south or east?
Vanifer:"Soon you'll be dead too, fool! You think that Dragonborn will keep you around? He's going to feed you to Tiamat to become her high priest!"
Dagny:Dagny clutches Ralphs jerkin (?) and holds on, willing herself to not listen to the voices.
She follows along behind
Vanifer:N10. Stalagmite Garden
Wind blows through this weird stalagmite garden. The rock formations are smooth and contorted, their natural forms weathered to be chaotic and abstract.
Dagny:Ah, much like dwarven art
Kasumi:I was reborn in fire........I know that it can never hurt me now. My patron is a red dragon, if I am Tiamat's chosen then so be it!
Vanifer:Supernatural air has weathered the stalagmites such that they form weird images as one moves through the cavern. You seem to see a line of figures struggling to walk against the wind, faces of the dead...
Alani (Phil):MODA
Rhennya:Rhennya frowns at the unnatural formations
Dagny:Using my stonecunning, do I know anything?
about the stalagmites?
Vanifer:You see light ahead beyond a chasm.
Kasumi:May I do a Religion check?
To see if I can identify the figures (are they lost souls?)
Tony:float across?
Alani (Phil):Can I walk along the edge of the chasm?
Rhennya:We still can (float)
Simon N. (GM):@Dagny the weathering is clearly supernatural, a result of powerfil elemental forces
Tony:float?
Dagny:"This is an unholy place."
Simon N. (GM):Several windy tunnels meet at a chasm. Ledges along the cavern walls create natural footpaths above the abyss.
Tony:walk carefully with pack on
Simon N. (GM):Would be DC 10 Acrobatics to edge round the chasm without falling
Alani (Phil):Same as Tony.

Simon N. (GM):A warm wind swirls through this smooth cave, seemingly changing course at random. Nine cultists wearing feathered cloaks stand here with arms outstretched, as though waiting for the wind's embrace or, perhaps, waiting for the wind to carry them somewhere far, far away.

Simon N. (GM):The priest nods to Ralph looking slightly annoyed.
Tony:thanks
Dagny:Dagny mutters to herself "Freaking windhuggers." but very quietly, so no one can hear.
(and after she's out of the room)
Simon N. (GM):At an intersection of four tunnels, a mighty gale blows from the northern way, making a constant howl. Two braziers burn with green flame, lighting the area. Numerous rock columns join the floor to the ceiling. Severed silk ropes, darkly sodden with blood, sit at the base of three gore-spattered columns. Tied to two other columns are two women, each with a symbol cut into her forehead.
As you step in, the two huge ape beasts vanish.
Kasumi:Symbols again.......
Rhennya:Human or dwarf?
still alive?
Simon N. (GM):human, just about alive
Kasumi:This looks like a sacrifice to some demon!

Deseyna Majarra:"Thank you, milady! I am Deseyna Majarra, a diplomat of Waterdeep."
Nerise Gladham:"And I am Nerise Gladham, of Gladham farm."
Dagny:Dagny is quite angry. It is one thing to perform your rituals; another entirely to involve peasants who have no choice. "How did you come here?"
sharatu:"a diplomat i hear"
Kasumi:Hmmm, perhaps you're right. goes to Sharatu to see if he can do her an ape kebab
Nerise Gladham:"My farm was attacked! They kidnapped me and brought me here.I hope my family still live."
Dagny:(there's bound to be some still flaming cultist you can use as a fire)
Kasumi:Great idea, thank you Dagny!
Dagny:OOC Wasn't that the farm we helped a long time ago?
Deseyna Majarra:"I was with a delegation from Mirabar accompanying the dwarf sage Brundelthar. we were attacked... it's a long story."
sharatu:sorry to burst your bubble kasumi but demons bodys disappear after dying going back to reform in the abyss
Dagny:I am glad to tell you that Brundelthar lives.
Kasumi:sadface
Deseyna Majarra:Different farm you think
Rhennya:"Do you know if there are more prisoners frm your delegation? Or others?
Dagny:Do you know anything of a ritual being performed near by? Perhaps the name Thurl strikes a bell?
Deseyna Majarra:"He lives! Excellent news! We were captured by the Earth cult, but then these Air Cultists attacked and took me..."
nods
points to the NE tunnel "That way! They are summoning Yan C Bin, Elemental Prince of Evil!"
Dagny:If Dagny is still wearing the emblem of the Air cult on her cape, she will rip it off and stomp on it.
Kasumi:sigh there might be a snack on the way.......
Dagny:"Do you think you will be okay here? We must hurry."
Rhennya:"No time to lose!
Deseyna Majarra:"A group of knights passed by some hours ago."
Howling Hatred Priest:"Going somewhere?"
