You successfully managed to get out of the water filled trap/rooms in no small thanks to Shuushar and his fishy like talents. You ended up resting after a small skirmish with some weird rock creatures. During the night's rest, Panian tried to suck on Eldeth but Nymeria stopped him. Panian then jumped on Charani the next morning as the party was starting out. Turns out Panian is half vamp like his daddy Strahd....so much for being a high born purebred elf! The party was discussing all of this and I would assume is continuing their march through the underdark.

Theo: "We need to lay down some ground rules. You don't bite your friends!"
Loranys: "I grab Panian's sword."
Panian: "Of course you do."

Is marching order the same? Not sure if Cha-Cha still wants to be by Panian?

In reply to DMJW (msg # 1):

If Charani is still looking around as you are marching, she sees the posted picture in "game map". You are in a cavern dotted with stalagmites and stalactites and this sigil is carved into one of the stalagmites she sees.

In reply to DMJW (msg # 2):

Looks like you will need to use the drop down menu in game maps to select main game map. You should see sigil then!

In reply to DMJW (msg # 3):

Charani moves closer to the sigill to examine it further.

In reply to DMJW (msg # 1):

While walking, Panian is a bit too preoccupied to pay attention to the Sigil. He sees Charani go to it, and figures they will probably discern, or not discern, its meaning without him. He turns to Nymeria.

"Cous..." Panian catches himself, clearing his throat... "Nymeria, I want you to know that regardless of if we are true blood or not, that does not change our history as best friends and closest allies. I know you have sacrificed much for me, given up a lot of things for me." At these words, Panian looks down as he walks, he catches glimpse of his once-cousin's hand, now missing a finger... "I hope to repay that someday. I know there is a temptation to think of me differently, to see me as a different person now. But ask yourself: did you protect me because we were blood? or did you protect me because we have always been friends? What I did to get you back, the incident with Sodo and the knife. I would still do that for you now, even if you are a Glimmergaunt and I am not. You are my friend. The truest and only deep, long-standing friend I've ever really had. The only person I've ever communed with..." HIs voice trails off. He thinks that he should give her a chance to speak here.

In reply to DMJW (msg # 1):

Loranys sticks close to Theo. She is reeling from the news, and understands that this is far more difficult for Panian and Nymeria than it will ever be for her. Still, she can't help but think about the fact that her exboyf is a vamp. She thinks about all of the sacrifices the group has made for Panian, and wonders if any of them had known, how differently things might have turned out. She also feels a relief: there is an explanation!
She glances at Theo occasionally. She links arms with him, her brother and her rock. Thank the gods for Theo.

In reply to Loranys (msg # 6):

To Loranys and Krysnys (privately): "It is time to discuss those rules. Panian very nearly killed Charani right in front of all of us. He is no different than the crazed, murderous fool who killed a barkeep to spite me before later killing two of our closest friends. I will not abide any foolishness in our approach with him. He is a monster. The safety of the group is of greater importance than his feelings. The three of us have to be in agreement on this. If he violates the rules, he is on his own. The next time he attempts to feed on any of you, I will not forget the heart.

He must willing take his daily dose of holy water. He must never kill and feed on people. He must not resist the Zone of Truth should we doubt his word."

In reply to Theodoric (msg # 7):

Krysnys attempts to respond mentally. If DM gives the green light, check your private messages.

In reply to Krysnys (msg # 8):

Mental connections are loud and clear!

In reply to Charani (msg # 4):

The sigil has been carved into the stalagmite. It looks to be some kind of drow warning maybe?

In reply to DMJW (msg # 10):

While looking at the sigil and the rest of your party being a little preoccupied with Panian, a barlgura demon attacks!!! (If you look at game map/images for group 0 you should see a pic)!!!

In reply to DMJW (msg # 11):

Must be what that sigil was warning us about.

(Charani has a 'Cave of Argghhhhhh' experience while looking at the sigil and seeing the demon appear)

In reply to Charani (msg # 12):

Charani whispers "holy fucking shit" under her breath and attempts to cast burning hands at the creature, regardless of the location of her friends! Not sure where everyone is in relation to each other but I was away from the group.

The demon must make a dex save higher than 15 to pass.

In reply to Charani (msg # 13):

17 fire damage if it fails, 8 if it passes.

In reply to Charani (msg # 14):

I can do two more hits like that at this level.

Next hit total damage 21, 10 if he passes.

Third hit total damage 18, 9 if he passes.

Tryna toast this bitch.

In reply to Charani (msg # 15):

I attack to protect Charani
Hit 12.
Hit 7.
Damage 11, if 12 was a hit.

(I tried to roll both, but it didn't tell me the separate scores, so I rerolled 1 at a time. Such a n00b.)

In reply to Charani (msg # 13):

Demon attacks you....he has 3 attacks (one bite and two fists), if a 16 is a hit on you then he hits all three times. Check out damage in dice roller. Should be 36 points of damage!

In reply to Krysnys (msg # 16):

Demon AC = 15

In reply to Charani (msg # 15):

Saved on first fireball, failed on second two!

In reply to DMJW (msg # 11):

Panian moves to attack, using sneak attack while the monster is focused on Charani...


Sneak attack rolled 16. 30 damage. (Sorry for the couple mistakes in die rolling. Forgot shortsword is 1d6. I'm so used to always rolling 1d8)

In reply to Panian (msg # 20):

You are pretty sure you got in a good hit on the demon and Charani is pretty sure her fire hit the guy too, but all of the sudden he disappears!!!

Charani and Panian need to make a constitution saving throw.

In reply to DMJW (msg # 1):

Rolled 13

In reply to DMJW (msg # 21):

 Charani rolled a 1, with the saving throw modifier it would be a 3 💀

In reply to Charani (msg # 23):

Theo lays on hands to give Charani 20 hp. Then he says "Anyone opposed to running before it comes back?"

In reply to Theodoric (msg # 24):

Loranys asks Krysnys if she is ok--Loranys seems to have come out of her reverie just as the fighting ended! Assuming everyone who fought is ok, Loranys gives 2 thumbs up on running!!

In reply to Loranys (msg # 25):

Everyone do a perception check!!!

In reply to DMJW (msg # 26):

18+modif so over 20!!!

In reply to Loranys (msg # 27):

19

In reply to Loranys (msg # 27):

You have a strange feeling that the demon isn't gone, he just disappeared. There have been no more attacks, but you think you feel a presence following you guys!

In reply to DMJW (msg # 29):

You guys! I have the strangest feeling the demon isn't actually gone.

Loranys casts shield.
