[D&D 4E PbP] Carrion Crown Act 1: The Haunting of Harrowstone (IC)
Posts
"So there's definitely more to this then..."
The eladrin breaks from his reverie at the Mayor's pleas, looking at the portly man as if he'd only just appeared.
"Vashian, do you honestly expect us to lounge around for a month, drinking your swill and placating your peasants? There is something big going on here and though it involves books and symbols and whatnot it sounds a damn sight more exciting than sitting on our arses. Or is there a law against excitement here?"
Regarding the gloomy surroundings, he wouldn't be surprised if there was.
Party loses 1 Trust Point
Passive Perception Check: Failed
Cranea did not have enough time to glance at the Sheriff's hand before he pulled it back.
Whether her intentions proved sincere or not, the Sheriff felt uncomfortable of this strange woman suddenly holding his hand.
"I may or may not be superstitious or not, lil'missy, but this IS Ustalav. I've seen some stanger thins' in my youngun' days than this here scene, but one sometimes lives a longin' when feelin a bit distrustful, no offense." With that, the Sheriff shrugs his hand away from the Witch, inspecting it to make sure nothing's wrong before placing it in one of his pockets.
"As fer what's goin' on, I can safely say you an' I agree on somethin'. Quite a coincidence this here happens right in the mornin' after the professor's funeral. Why this happened is anyone's guess. Maybe Heph was right about warnin us about buryin' the Prof. in the graveyard. Maybe not. That's what me and my deputies will find out. Don't you worry. Besides, if you DID do this, you wouldn't come back at the scene of the crime, right?"
Sheriff Benjen glances back at the statue before turning back at the heroes. "Well, time's a wastin'. Best get to investigatin'. So long y'all."
With his say over, the Sheriff walks off, waving back at the Councilman and the heroes before disappearing into the mists.
The Councilman returns his gaze to the heroes."Well, at least SOMEONE is doing SOME work here. Mr.... Drellaphane, am I right? Ravengro is a peaceful town, and I for one would like to keep it that way! What you do is up to you. Just know this: Ravengro doesn't tolerate hooligans and thieves. Long as you follow the law, we'll have no trouble. As for this, clearly its more than a mere prank. A bloody prank, but a prank nonetheless, nothing more," Vashian puffs up, a hint of arrogance tinged in that previous sentence, "I for one will not be swayed by such superstitious tripe such as this. If you think something is tied to this,fine then, be my guest! Just keep to your books, symbols and poppycock and making yourself as scarce and far away as possible from the Sheriff's duties."
Wanting no more questions asked, Vashian quickly places his handkerchief away and starts walking away from the scene. "Well then, now that's settled, I too will ask leave to this meeting. I hope you enjoy your time here in Ravengro. Goodbye, Lady and gentlemen"
With that, the Councilman disappears into the mist, leaving the group alone with the statue...
"He . . . I can't believe . . . I just, wow!" Cranea looked to her companions with a rather sheepish expression, she couldn't tell whether they were amused or annoyed at her feux pas. "I'm so sorry, this never happens to me."
Swiftly regaining her composure, Cranea straightens herself and speaks as if nothing happened. "Well, there's definitely something magical about this ritual, centered there," she pointed toward the "V" marking on the statue, "but what it is exactly I haven't a clue. There may be something in the professor's books, but I really think we should move ahead to Harrowstone to help get a better sense on what Petros was doing."
The lumbering half-orc moved over to Cranea to give her a reassuring pat on the shoulder, "Next time we'll have Drell play the part of the sexy minx and if the Sheriff goes for it then we'll know," he looked around at the party with his eyebrows raised, nodding slightly as if to say clearly I've come up with the most reasonable solution. "What's the point of the V is what I want to know. Is it supposed to be aimed at Vashian? He seemed pretty affected by it."
It is peculiar for her to be saying this, given that otherwise, Valagard loathes unanswered questions with a passion. Perhaps it is the attitude of the people of Ravengro that is putting her off, or perhaps the circumstances surrounding Professor Lorrimor's death simply are more important to her right now.
The heroes were still talking to one another, when they soon realized one voice wasn't heard: that of the eccentric and often jovial Darius!
However, a voice soon erupted not far from them, alerting the heroes that the loss of one comrade was the least of their concern.
"Help, anyone out there?! I need help! Someone save me from these monsters!" a voice from the mist calls out. The heroes set off to identify the disturbance.
What they heard and saw was quite frightful. As they neared the location, they could hear moans and gasps, as well as the slow shuffling of boots across the dirt. When they finally reached the disturbance, they saw it.
A veiled man, dressed in a black cloak and wearing an overly large backpack, was throwing stones at the rabble of clearly dead humanoids. Some of the dead were missing limbs and the lower part of their mouths, while there was a thin, elongated zombie in the middle of them, with sharp claws for hands.
"By Kelemvor's light, isn't there anyone out there to save me from this?!" the veiled man pleads.
Party:
Party gains a Surprise Round!
Kledge Black:
You can hear the faint ruffling of leaves in the trees west of your position (denoted as ??? on the map)
The heroes sneaked in closer (with the walking cadavers oblivious to them), spotting the vast horde of zombies in front of them, and the helpless merchant behind that ghastly rabble. Weapons drawn, they prepare an ambush of their own...
Map:
Use the area highlighted on the map to decide where to place yourselves. I'll consider weapons already drawn for this fight, since it would make sense to carry them when walking in the dangerous land that is Ustalav. After initiative is thrown, will the Surprise round start.
Roll initiative and choose positions!

edit: no action point.
One zombie (bearing a misshapen humanoid skull) ignores the witches' faeries, and lunges at the nearest threat: Drell.
With one swipe, he slices the fallen Eladrin by the back, digging it's horrible crooked hand, holding him in place.
The other skull wearing zombie, tries to do the same. Though Valagard saw the attack coming, even she should have known one thing of Ustalav: the horrors here are rarely predicable. Instead of lunging at her back, the creature swipes her at the arm, digging its deformed fingers between her left armpit, where the armor was least reinforced. It held her in place, a meal in its eyes.
Suddenly, the tree rustles, and a lanky, thin creature scurries off the tree trunk, and (hoping to get a free meal) rushes behind drell to attack. It jumps on drell's side, and the two zombies started to play tug of war with the unfortunate Eladrin.
The Skullborn however, lets loose of it's prey, when it feels the sharp impact of a rock hitting it from the back of it's head. It turned to eye the merchant it no sooner threatened before.
The merchant, upon spotting the heroes, offers what could only mean a brief smile under that veil.
"By Kelemvor, I don't know who you lot are, but you are a sight for sore eyes!"

Up Next: Rotters and Defilers On Deck: Our Brave Heroes, minus Airyc
The zombie with elongated claws and wretched mouth turned away from the injured Revenant, and feasted on a most unlikely target: its own cadaverous comrade. It tears the mindless thing apart, stuffing its half rotting mouth with pieces of disgusting flesh, digesting what flesh remained of the poor creature.
Satiated in its feast, it tries to slam one of its claws at the Eladrin Revenant, to no avail. Drell spotted the clumsy attack and parried it with the butt of his spear.This caused the creature to stumble back, away from the hardy Drell.
A nearby zombie, on the other hand, decided to try its own luck, and slams into the Revenant. An attack that would ordinarily topple the average man, merely punts Drell in the stomach, causing him to lose balance momentarily. No doubt such a feat even amazed Airyc, who saw the whole thing from right behind Drell.
Two other zombies lunge toward the Cleric, slamming their knobby fists onto her armor, bouncing off and leaving dents. How long this would last was anyone's guess, but even the resilient dwarven cleric knew she was in dire straits if she didn't do something drastic.
The remaining rotten zombies attack the cloaked merchant, almost fighting with one another over their newest meal...
"AAARGH! A LITTLE HELP HERE!" the merchant cries out...

Two of the undead were thrown away from the fighting, suffering horrible damage and giving her companions some breathing space.

Up Next: Round 2 :ohdear:
The lithe figured zombie, now pushed away from the brutish Orc, slinks toward Kledge, and brings his claws to the Artificer. Fortunately, Kledge saw that attack coming a mile away, and dodged it like any other hit a bully in his time would have done to him: with finesse.
Drell on the other hand, was not so fortunate, as the two skull-faced zombies make their way to the injured warrior. Ustalav zombies are notorious cannibals among the dead, so any flesh, rotten or not, filled their appetites. Like maniacs, they descended onto Drell, and start slashing him relentlessly, with such ferocity that even Airyc wondered how this fey-like humanoid was still standing after such an assault.
The cloaked figure brandishes a simple dagger, and with simple grace, cuts the one zombies' head clean off. The headless cadaver falls to the ground instantly, not even twitching on the ground.
"You gotta cut off their heads! One of the only ways to kill zombies here in Ustalav!" the man cries out, hoping the heroes heard the advice...

The decaying zombies moved closer towards the party. One tries swiping at Valagard, but she managed to deflect the clumsy blow. Cranea however, was slashed at her left shoulder, leaving a slight scar.
The merchant tried to parry the incoming zombie, but he was too shaken to hold him off, and was rewarded with an injury of his own for his meager efforts.
That of course, that only changed, when the tall zombie with elongated claws stood upright from its haunches and cries with a shrill voice. Most of the heroes had to protect their ears from the cry; however it did nothing to them...
Instead, the nearby zombies started acting erratically, their movements almost convulsive as if driven to slay their targets outright. They released this unnatural energy in the form of a relentless barrage of attacks against the nearest living creature. Though Valagard managed to effortlessly block the attacks, the same could not be said of the merchant or Cranea, as they were assaulted with a barrage of claws and kicks.
The merchant, though still veiled, started to see a bright red stain form on his cloak.
“Quick! I... *cough*... won’t last long in... in this state! Someone help!”

Up Next: The Heroes (sans Airyc 'n' Drell) On Deck: Round 3, aka When Drell defected to the Undead
Breathing heavily, the dwarf nevertheless intones two additional prayers, one to bolster Cranae's vigour and help the dryad strike back at the undead horde more potently, the other to guide Airyc's axe should his luck fail him. "Perhaps you could go lend our beleaguered friend there a hand?" she suggests to the half-orc, steeling herself for the zombies' retribution. "There is nothing I can do for him right now, I'm afraid."
Actions:
Attack: 14 – miss, for half damage.
Damage: 16 8 (radiant)
Effect: make a secondary attack, which is a close burst 3 against every undead enemy in burst other than the primary target.

Minor: Favour of the Gods on Airyc: the next time he misses with an attack roll before the end of Valagard's next turn, he can reroll that attack roll and must use the new result, even if it's lower.
Up Next: The Heroes (sans Airyc 'n' Drell, nor Valagard) On Deck: Round 3, oh dear!
Kledge steps away from the ugly zombie that was just trying to jump on him, throws his last vial Drell's way. Noticing Valagard seems to be making friendly with the zombies, he twists a knob on his crossbow, which shoots a wave o force towards Valagard. The resonance seems to be aimed at the big zombie she just struck, but it has no effect.
Minor: Healing Infusion: Curative Admixture on Drell (spends a surge +2)

Valagard gains +1 AC

"Thank you for the healing energies mistress Valagard!" She cried over her shoulder as she moved into a better position to save the mysterious stranger before hurling an electrified bolt of witchfire at the zombie attacking him.
Standard action: Witch Bolt attack v. reflex
Attack: 1d20+4+2=18 v. Rotter (E8), HIT!
Damage: 1d10+4=7 total damage
Green-tinged lightning shot from her Rowan Wand and wrapped itself around the Zombie Rotter, as it coiled around the undead creature the faint smell of charred, sickly flesh pervaded the air a moment before the spell tore the thing apart. Flesh and bone were bisected by the arcane energy and the zombie fell to the ground in pieces before the astonished stranger. Cranea blew the man a kiss then returned to her friends.

Up Next: Braaaaiiiiins (and Round 3)
The skull-faced zombie, unperturbed by Kledge's measly attack, starts pounding the dwarf in from of it. It struck with such force that it rattled Valagard, causing her to lose her resolve, and allowing the creature to grab her by her shoulders, pinning her in place. It's bottom half jaw dropped fro, such an attack, but it still had teeth to gnaw on its food, given the chance...
The lithe zombie, now without a target again, scurries his way to Airyc. It slammed its clubbed arm on the Half-Orc's left shoulder, and a large bruise started to form...
The veiled man offered a wink of his own back at the Dryad.
"My thanks lass! Now, to repay the favour!", the man says, as he hurls another rock at the zombies, this time at the thin figure attacking Airyc. It struck it with enough force so as to catch the creature off-guard.
"Now, while it's distracted, whack him!" the man shouted.

Up Next: Rob's Zombies On Deck: Heroes that are mighty and magical
The defiler starts to spasm and convulse frenetically (releasing slime and bile from its open wounds onto the ground), and soon four more undead monstrosities joined the fray. Well, three do anyway, as one is cannibalized mid-rise by the defiling zombie. It ingests its new fallen comrade, and shambles his way to the artificer.
The risen dead do not idle for long, as they shuffle towards their closest meals. One tries lashing out at Drell, only for it to be parried effortlessly by the Eladrin’s fighting prowess. Valagard, however, was overrun by the zombie horde. Being held in place by the skull faced zombie helped little, as one of the cursed dead slams her in the face, knocking her out of the skull-faced zombie’s grasp, but also onto the ground on her back. If she was not helped soon, she would soon fall prey to the dead her supposed ‘clanmother’ so loved. The irony was not lost to the dwarf.
The remaining one makes a dash to the Artificer. Kledge, now having watched the spectacle in front of him, knew all too well what happened should he get pinned down by these abominations, and managed to avoid a strike... for now...

Damage: 1d6= 5 total for all enemies hit.
Skulloborn #2 & Rotter @ M7 are destroyed
Cranea looked on in delight as two of the zombies were peppered with holes. The sprites she summoned accelerated through their bodies with the force of projectiles, and they fell apart at the joints. Cranea knew that her companions were still in dire straits though, and yelled toward the sprites at the top of her lungs, pleading with them to keep on the pressure.
Action Point!
Attack: 1d20+4+2 v. Will (Defiler)=26, Critical HIT!!!; 1d20+4+2 v. Will (Rotter, M9)=15, HIT; 1d20+4+2 v. Will (Rotter, M8)=18, HIT.

Zombie Defiler takes 6 damage and cannot take opportunity actions until the end of my next turn. Both the rotters hit are destroyed.
After watching two more zombies fall and one take damage, Cranea dismisses the sprites, feeling a well deserved sense of satisfaction after being so terrified only moments before.
