The Rise from the Ashes

Advantage and Disadvantage usually cancel each other. Will it in this case?

@LiLNasY

Yes it will. ^_^

The Rise from the Ashes

<Snipped quote by LiLNasY>

Oh, if nothing stops them, they'll go to the orchard, okay?

@LiLNasY

I was going to call for another stealth check with advantage thanks to Meli’s Help Action.

Sorry for the wait. Had to prepare for departure. ^^”

Woo! Thank you for the inspiration. Kalila got a 14 on her initiative.

Kalila didn't let her gaze shy away from this thug as he laughed at her and asked who she was. She looks to Gerta when she subtly told her to stand down. She sighs through her nose and she watches as Gerta pays the man. Fifteen weeks of pay gone in an instant, to this man! If Kalila didn't know better, she would say that this is just pure extortion. She sets the cup of tea and saucer down on the table.

Thankfully, it seems like he was fine with the gold. But...another argument starts as he demands to have Garrek join whoever he works for. Knowing a bit of Garrek's story, thanks to Gerta, Kalila glares at the man. Gerta obviously says No, but the man persists, and even decides to double the amount next time. Kalila gasps as the man grabs Garrek by the neck so quickly, after he calls him out. She immediately stands up in shock and to help Gerta and Garrek.

Thankfully, Gerta manages to get the man to let go of Garrek with the tea! Kalila silently rooted for her. Everything explodes into chaos as he screams at her.

This time...

This time, there was no stopping that liquid fire in her veins; The dam of her restraint breaks! The wind springs to life around her in reaction to this magic, and her eyes glow with the magic once more as she loses control. Her voice reverberates as she speaks first,

"You dare to intrude upon this home, and demand more than what is freely given in hospitality?! A curse upon you for your gluttony!"

After the words were spoken, the air gains hints of red and it swirls around the man. His body is taking in less oxygen than what his muscles need, making any feat of strength much more difficult than it would originally be.

The magic doesn't stop. With one hand clutched on the vessel, another hand draws some of the iridescent smoke out, and it changes from gas to starlight that keeps changing colors in her hand! She fires the iridescent light at the man! Any wounds left behind, would allow the red air to enter and cause the wounds to fester right before their eyes.

Kalila's Turn

Kalila uses her Bonus Action to cast Hex on the man, and imposes disadvantage on his Strength Checks.
She then uses her action to fire an Eldritch Blast at him for a 16.
If that hits, she will deal a total of 11 to the man. 4 Force, 5 Necrotic from Hex, and 2 Thunder from Genie's Wrath.

@LiLNasY Woo!

For Initiative, Kalila got a 14

Stealth check is successful with a score of 17! For now, we are out of initiative for ease of posting.

Meli immediately drops low along with Cad, and she places a hand on his shoulder. He can feel magic coursing through his being, reassuring him and helping him keep still, while the bandits shout and speak with the one who just fled from Cadmus,

"Eh?! The hell are you talking about, Reg?"

The bandit Cadmus chased turned around and speaks, "I swear, I had one of dem satyrs, when a lad with a metal arm attacked! He took out Wen, Ven, and Ben! They were just chasing me!"

"So...where are they?"

Reg shrugs and answers, "I don't know! They gotta be around here somewhere!"

The leading bandit rolls his eyes and he speaks, "Alright, alright. Men! We gotta do a sweep! Stay guard over the vermin!"

The bandits begin to search around, while 10 of them stay around the carts holding the Gathering hostage.

Meli whispers to Cadmus her doubts, "I don't think we can save them right now. I hate saying this, but I think we need to retreat..."

Where Wishes Fall (D&D 5e)

Kalila’s cheeks reddened with a blush in embarrassment. Apparently not every single establishment that sells clothes is a tailor. Something to keep in mind from now on. She does smile and thank Gerta again when she assured her that Garrek would help her later. Then the topic of the pendant comes up. Apparently, Thornwick left an address behind so she could follow up on the appraisal.

After that, Kalila was able to enjoy breakfast and tea, while catching snippets of conversation around her. The peaceful atmosphere was nice, and even she tried to make pleasant conversation as well.

But that peace was disrupted by a hard knock on the door. Just like that, the peace was shattered and tension replaced it. She notes what Garrek stated and how Gerta asked him to open a door. Just from those words alone, it sounded like whoever was at the door had come for money.

Before Kalila could ask or react, Gerta returned with a pouch, and the door opened to reveal a dangerous looking man. While Kalila herself was dressed to the nines, this man was armed to the nines. So an outright fight with him could be fatal.

He proceeds to sit at a table and shout at Gerta for money. This was bad…

Kalila could feel her own anxiety rise again, and threaten to silence her. But…she knew that she couldn’t just do nothing. She had to help. It’s clear that there is some sort of plan in place if Garrek headed to the back door.

She could also feel that liquid fire react. It feels like a dog tugging at the leash, just begging to be unleashed on the man. Knowledge of incantations and somatic components flood her mind. But she is able to restrain it for now.

Instead, she decided to try and distract the man for now. Her eyes briefly scan the room for anything that could be used to their advantage. Other than that, she decides to speak up to distract the man.Hopefully what little she knows of business law from her father will help everyone here.

She keeps her composure as she simply sips her tea before commenting out loud, “I see the saying is true in every sense of the word: You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar,” Truly, she is mimicking the ladies at a tea party who passive aggressively make jabs at the uncouth.

She then addresses the man, “You do realize that by coming earlier than what your contract dictates, you are actively rendering it null and void?”

The Rise from the Ashes

I don't remember how many lol. Can we say a bunch? Like over 20? Over 50?

@LiLNasY

Yeah, we can say a bunch. Over 20. Not quite 50.

Also, can I get a Stealth check from you for your Hide action?
