D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki do we have a map or similar for combat, or is it all theater of the mind?

@Guardian Angel Haruki
Nope, can't get a link to a single roll on R20. But you can screenshot a pic of it. Always a chance of fudging the screenshots.

Similar with Discord, but if we had a Discord channel for rolls, would be much harder to fudge things. Basically impossible.

I've never been a fan of this dice roller. The ones on Discord are much more randomized, imo. Here, it seems you either get a string of 16-20s or a string of 1-6s.

D&D 5e - The Lost Lands

Katia Lei

---

She had made it, pressing through all of the shadows. The altar was just a short ways away. Nothing could stop her now!

Nngg... A blast of ice struck her in the back as she darted forward, slowing her steps ever so slightly. She felt almost like her soul was drifting away from her, darkness clawing at the edge of her vision. Light-headed, she persevered... her steps... slowing... as the radiance...

To those who were still able to see her, Katia's form faded from view, consumed by the radiant light and appearing as a floating orb of radiance. The feline, absorbed in the light, saw the darkness fade away from her vision. She lay on some unknown surface on her back, the flaring brilliance shining down on her. "Where... where am I?" she muttered to herself. "I'm dead, aren't I? I failed. Is this where I turn into a shadow?" Despite her situation, she seemed unusually calm, albeit thoroughly disappointed in herself.

As she stared upwards, she began to make out some sort of vaguely humanoid shape in the light. No, the shape was the light, standing tall and proud. Katia stared up at the sight, slowly beginning to realize what was happening. She was in the presence of something that her world had not seen in aeons: a true Celestial. For a moment, she froze with her eyes wide, then immediately cowed before the light, bowing before the Celestial.

"You are too hard on yourself, little one," a voice emanated from the Light, as shapeless as the radiance towering over her. "Your journey is not complete. Now go with my blessing, and bring the Light to wherever Shadow reigns."

The light slowly faded, and Katia looked up to see the unlit altar before her as she lay on the stone floor. Did she dream it? Did that matter? The orb was in her hand still, and Katia leapt to her feet, dashing forward to set the radiant flame atop the altar. "For the power of Light!" she called as she lowered the radiance to its pedestal.

Mechanics

Katia takes 4 radiant damage and is knocked unconscious. Through some divine intervention, she is immediately raised as a free action, with all the benefits of a long rest.

Katia movement: Katia's speed is reduced by 10 ft from Ray of Frost. Katia will stand from prone and expend 1 Ki to dash forward, straight to the altar, moving 25 ft (or until she is adjacent if further).

HP: 27/27. AC: 15. Ki: 3/4 (Recharge Short Rest).
Feline Agility: Available. Golden Surge: Available.
Rolls are on Discord.

The kenku listened silently to the jabbering by the other humanoids. The newly arrived stubby one was quite obviously lying about having allies, likely trying to fluff his feathers to appear more intimidating than he really was. The tactic wasn't foreign to the kenku, but it was usually used by someone who had more weight to their bluff.

Significantly more interesting were the words of the elf. The disappearance of the larger beasts of the forest was concerning, to say the least. Was this connected to his quest? Even if not, a druid could hardly ignore such a threat to nature. Out came the flask again, but this time it was turned fully upright as the kenku squawked in protest. Empty again? This day couldn't possibly get any worse... until he noticed the Sapphire eying his flask. Very carefully and slowly, he placed the flask inside his pack and withdrew another one before buckling the bag up again and tightening the straps, his eye not leaving her until she no longer lusted after his drink.

As the kenku released the seal on his new bottle, his gaze was split between the Sapphire and the Fishknight as he consoled the kenku for the curse now long rendered upon his kin. He had begun to proclaim what was likely an exceedingly long introduction to the life and times of walking salmon when the party was spared the torture by a tortured scream. In a flash, the kenku bounded towards the source, much faster than one would expect from a seemingly inebriated old bird. His staff was in his hand, a new flame conjured and at the ready.

He arrived shortly after the shrill whistle had sounded. It was obviously a signal, and if the know-everything Jacoby was correct, it spelled trouble soon to arrive. "Stick with me!" came a confident male voice from the kenku. "Enemies approach, but we will cut the dogs asunder!"

”Please, Katia, deliver this flame to its seat!" Without ceremony, Katia was thrust from the role of escort to that of torchbearer. For a split second, she hesitated, no clue as to what her friend expected of her, but in an instant, her goal became clear. The light must be borne to the altar on the other side. Ah, it was so simple, and hopefully would dispel the shades as well.

The shades... they swarmed ferociously, filling the darkness as waves filled the sea. Fighting them off seemed as pointless as fighting the paladin. Caught between a false guardian of holy power and the power of evil, everything seemed hopeless. Something deep and sinister inside told her that she could end this eternal suffering: quench the light she bore and surrender to the darkness. This world would surely suffer the same fate as theirs, but what did she have left to lose?

Her hand hovered over the sacred flame. A twitch would destroy it, and she could rejoin her family in the afterlife. But the determined challenge from Cesar resounded in her ears, the call from Wick urging Theodore onwards. They counted on her to see this through, to bury her doubts and accept her fate. Against odds insurmountable, they must remain steadfast, surging forward for the good of all. She may die in her attempt, but by all the old gods and the new, she would make this attempt.

The flame wicked away her life force, spurring her to action. With a primal shout she darted forward, leaping over Birbin to grasp the pillar with her claws. A quick release later, and she bounded between the dozens of shades, weaving in and out and ducking below their swipes. Her shout morphed into a gutteral roar as she pushed herself to the limit, carrying the torch with her and sending the rest of the room back to darkness. The mob of shadows fell behind her, and so did Cesar, undoubtedly soon to be victim to a dozen shadowy strikes, drinking his very life essence away.

I'm... so sorry, Cesar.

Mechanics

Katia movement: Katia will disengage as a bonus action, using 1 ki. She then will dash, climbing around Birbin up the pillar to the north and weaving between the shadows. 100 ft of movement should place her 25 ft from the altar, 10 ft from the northern inner wall.

Katia takes 5 radiant damage from the Light.

HP: 9/27. AC: 15. Ki: 1/4 (Recharge Short Rest).

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki mind if I roll an Insight on Signod's claims about the rest of his party? Sounds like an overt bluff to me :P
