[Game Thread] Call of the Ancient - Part 4

[Admin Bhelogan]

Despite the magical haste upon her, Adelaide waited at the strategic point on the small ridge, hoping the enemy movement would give a direction on which way to proceed. Oren did not hesitate, as a pair of eldritch blasts flew from him and slammed into the leader, who held the Red Lantern. The attacks drew a strange stare from the horrific figure, who seemed to question why. "A warlock? Surely, you are fighting for the wrong side.." But, his puzzlement would have to wait. A seemingly harmless bench came flying at the Knight, who in his heavy macabre armor was not nimble enough to dodge the catapulted furniture. The bench shattered into the man's side, sending splintered wood flying in every direction. Gallindan moved to take a stand next to Marcus. He channeled his divinity, that would scare off any fiend or fey. Were Lux present, he would have detested the act, but the men, demonic as they may be, didn't seem phased by the effects. Still, the Paladin stood, waiting to assault the first that drove in.

The lead Knight, despite being the target was not the first foe to rush. Rather, he gave directions to his followers. "Keith, Sarek, and Rodger; get those two off the ridge. The rest of you on horses, flank around their backside. And you my boys, run these fools down!" Like well-trained soldiers, the men took off on their assigned tasks. Two of the horsemen rode north to try and get a better spot to get on the high ground of the ridge, while the third charged and spurred his horse to leap up the hill. He stuck the landing, but it took all of the rider's efforts to hold on, and perform the maneuver, as he landed between Adelaide and Kerwin. The other three mounts stuck out with great speed to go around the south side of the church.

Meanwhile, five men charged in simultaneously at Gallindan, Marcus and Oren. There was no question that they would try to flank the trio, but for the moment they could only get so far. Not to mention, moving in that close came with a cost. All five men were instantly assaulted by the specter of Hakkouth, that Marcus had summoned as a guardian spirit. Two of the knights on the outside edges of the rush seemed to take the worst of the guardian's wrath. The one that was the furthest north had the unfortunate luck to fly into Gillindan's glaive, which landed a deep critical blow across his chest and caused him to howl in pain, as he was nearly going in two. The lead knight, stayed back to mend his own wounds for the moment, as his men did the initial dirty work. His hands called on the anti-paladin powers he possessed to close some of the scrapes and cuts caused by the flying bench and eldritch blasts a moment earlier.

The heavily wounded knight retaliated against Gillindan, using his flank to swing twice, wicked arches of a curved bald connected both times with Gillindan's armor, which, fortunately for him, stood firm and deflected the blows. The other Knight, though not having such an advantage had more luck in getting around Gillindan's defenses, and landed two blows on the Eladrin, one slicing deep into his arm, and the other into his leg. Marcus had the focus of the other three advancers. Swings deflected of his shield and armor, but a few blades managed to slice him as well, though he seemed to act as though no real damage had been done just yet. Oren could see some thin trickles of blood coming from Marcus' fresh wounds that he had indeed been struck, even if he was ignoring the pain for the moment. The tactic worked well enough for Marcus, that despite the blows, his spiritual guardian stayed around to continue harassing the advancers.

Marcus' hammer glowed with crackling energy, a retaliation was now due. The hammer slammed into one foe, and causing an explosion that knocked the man backward, and left him prone on the ground. Another heavy blow landed on the Knight next to the previous and again crackled with strong energy that left his target's armor dented and scorched.

Inside the church, Daybreak spotted the three knights circling around, through one of the small chappel's windows. "They won't have an easy time making it that way," she assured the terrified Isabella. "Watch.." Daybreak stretched her had out, and called to the seeds of thistles and thorns that laid dormant in the ground. Instantly, they spring to life, reaching up with thick spikes that tore at the legs and hoofs of the quickly moving Knights. The men were then trapped, with a decision to make. Ride their horses out of the thicket, which would likely cause the deaths of the mounts, or dismount and brave the spikes themselves.

"How did you do that?" Isabella wondered out loud, her curiosity peaked now and the powers Daybreak seemed to possess. There would hopefully be time for explanations later, if the managed to live through this.

Gallindan Gallindan curses in his ancient tongue as the knights' attacks hit home. He is already regretting the group's decision to venture out into the open. Their tactical position is a disaster. In an attempt to marginally improve that situation, he whirls to face the knight behind him, lashing out with his glaive. The first strike connects, and he yells out in Elvish, "Let the light shine!" But his follow-up attacks - one with the butt end of his weapon and another sweep at the knees - both fail to find purchase.

Hearing the orders given to circle around the back of the chapel, Oren realizes he wasn't sure if there was a back door to the building. They could lose everything because of a simple oversight like that. He curses. With Marcus' hammer knocking the men back, and Gallindan's formidable ability to deal and heal damage, Oren decides the paladins can cover the door -- he needs to be sure the building is secure on all sides.

Calling on the powers of his patron, the warlock takes a breath, bending for just a second before he leaps upward, suspended by nothing except the will of the Mountain God! He sails to the bell tower to gain cover and grabs hold of the weather-beaten shingles of the small roof to stop his flight. His eyes are instantly drawn down and left to the area behind the church, dreading to see the knights hauling Isabelle out of the building. A smile passes his lips to see a mass of vines writhing around the horses, the riders shouting at each other trying to decide if they should dismount. Daybreak, well done.

Distracted as they are, Oren takes care to move stealthily and prepares to surprise the knights from above.

Kerwin Powell Oh, Kerwin, you fool, what have you gotten yourself into now? the rotund wizard thought to himself as the horsebound knight forced his mount up the rise to confront the alchemist and paladin. Fending off an angry mob of peasants was one thing but this was a man trained in battle with intent to kill not some disgruntled barley farmer embarrassed that his cure for a wilting longplum had been found out by his neighboring peasants. It had been exhilarating using his spell against an actual person. He had never used it such. Sure, he had sent a horse saddle flying through the air to make someone believe that the potion of levitation he had sold them was awfully potent and that they would need to just try harder and spend some more time perfecting its use but to actually injure a person with it was a wholly different animal. He wanted to do it again. Self-preservation prevailed, however, and as the knight was cresting the hill, suddenly where there had been one chunky sage, there were now four. All were moving in unison and all had sweat dripping off their brows from having chased Adelaide through the streets of Kamplinn. Well, you've specialized in avoiding harm, Kerwin. Let's see how well you've perfected the art, he thought to himself as he awaited the inevitable attack.   Movement: move to F12 so Adelaide can maybe flank Action: Cast Mirror Image Bonus Action: Reaction: Free Action: Conditions: Maintain Haste on Adelaide; Mirror Image Rolls:   Kerwin Powell | 6th-Level Transmutation Wizard | 5'3" 190 lbs. Variant Human HP: 44/44 | AC: 9 | Initiative: +4 | Spell Slots: 4/4 | 3/4 | 1/3 | Spell DC: 15 Weapons: +2 to hit, 1d6-1 B, Versatile (1d8)Quarterstaff Cantrips Known: Enchantment cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: S, M (a small amount of makeup applied to the face as this spell is cast) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute For the duration, you have advantage on all Charisma checks directed at one creature of your choice that isn’t hostile toward you. When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you used magic to influence its mood and becomes hostile toward you. A creature prone to violence might attack you. Another creature might seek retribution in other ways (at the DM’s discretion), depending on the nature of your interaction with it.Friends, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (two lodestones) Duration: Instantaneous This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage. This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.Mending, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location. You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube. You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour. You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.Control Flames, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: Up to 1 hour This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.Prestidigitation 1st-Level Spells Known: 1st-level conjuration (ritual) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a piece of string and a bit of wood) Duration: 1 hour This spell creates an invisible, mindless, shapeless, Medium force that performs simple tasks at your command until the spell ends. The servant springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range. It has AC 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 2, and it can’t attack. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. Once on each of your turns as a bonus action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task, then waits for your next command. If you command the servant to perform a task that would move it more than 60 feet away from you, the spell ends.Unseen Servant, 1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You make yourself – including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person – look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can’t change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.Disguise Self, 1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell creates one more dart for each slot level above 1st.Magic Missile, 1st-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 90 feet Components: V, S, M (a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket) Duration: 1 minute This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8, the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.Sleep, 1st-level abjuration (ritual) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a tiny bell and a piece of fine silver wire) Duration: 8 hours You set an alarm against unwanted intrusion. Choose a door, a window, or an area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you whenever a tiny or larger creature touches or enters the warded area. When you cast the spell, you can designate creatures that won’t set off the alarm. You also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible. A mental alarm alerts you with a ping in your mind if you are within 1 mile of the warded area. This ping awakens you if you are sleeping. An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet.Alarm, 1st-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isn’t being worn or carried. The object flies in a straight line up to 90 feet in a direction you choose before falling to the ground, stopping early if it impacts against a solid surface. If the object would strike a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. When the object strikes something, the object and what it strikes each take 3d8 bludgeoning damage. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the maximum weight of objects that you can target with this spell increases by 5 pounds, and the damage increases by 1d8, for each slot level above 1st.Catapult, 1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 round An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to AC, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from magic missile.Shield, 1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (30-foot line) Components: V, S, M (a bit of rotten food) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute A stream of acid emanates from you in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be covered in acid for the spell’s duration or until a creature uses its action to scrape or wash the acid off itself or another creature. A creature covered in the acid takes 2d4 acid damage at start of each of its turns. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 1st.Tasha's Caustic Brew 2nd-Level Spell Known: 2nd-level divination Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a copper piece) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak any language, the creature is unaffected. You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature—what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature’s mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that loom s large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends. Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation. You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language. Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can’t see it, but it must still be within range.Detect Thoughts, 2nd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (powdered corn extract and a twisted loop of parchment) Duration: 1 hour You touch a length of rope that is up to 60 feet long. One end of the rope then rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground. At the upper end of the rope, an invisible entrance opens to an extradimensional space that lasts until the spell ends. The extradimensional space can be reached by climbing to the top of the rope. The space can hold as many as eight Medium or smaller creatures. The rope can be pulled into the space, making the rope disappear from view outside the space. Attacks and spells can’t cross through the entrance into or out of the extradimensional space, but those inside can see out of it as if through a 3-foot-by-5-foot window centered on the rope. Anything inside the extradimensional space drops out when the spell ends.Rope Trick, 2nd-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it’s impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates. Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell’s duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates. If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack’s target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher. A duplicate’s AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed. A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can’t see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.Mirror Image, 2nd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (gold dust worth at least 25 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: Until dispelled You touch a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other entryway, and it becomes locked for the duration. You and the creatures you designate when you cast this spell can open the object normally. You can also set a password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object, suppresses this spell for 1 minute. Otherwise, it is impassable until it is broken or the spell is dispelled or suppressed. Casting knock on the object suppresses arcane lock for 10 minutes. While affected by this spell, the object is more difficult to break or force open; the DC to break it or pick any locks on it increases by 10.Arcane Lock 3rd-Level Spells Known: 3rd-level evocation (ritual) Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Self (10-foot-radius hemisphere) Components: V, S, M (a small crystal bead) Duration: 8 hours A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration. The spell ends if you leave its area. Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can’t extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.Leomund's Tiny Hut, 3rd-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You reach into the mind of one creature you can see and force it to make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to being frightened. On a failed save, the target loses the ability to distinguish friend from foe, regarding all creatures it can see as enemies until the spell ends. Each time the target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Whenever the affected creature chooses another creature as a target, it must choose the target at random from among the creatures it can see within range of the attack, spell, or other ability it’s using. If an enemy provokes an opportunity attack from the affected creature, the creature must make that attack if it is able to.Enemies Abound, 3rd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell fails and has no effect. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.Counterspell, 3rd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a shaving of licorice root) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Choose a willing creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the target’s speed is doubled, it gains a +2 bonus to AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action on each of its turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. When the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.Haste, 3rd-lvl abjuration Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 10 feet Target: A 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range Components: V S M (Holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: 1 hour You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range.

The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways: The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw. The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder. Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature. When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.

If you create a new transmuter's stone, the previous one ceases to function.Transmuter's Stone, You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook.

[Admin Bhelogan]

Gallindan knew he didn't want to be flanked. He spun around and threw the flurry of his attacks at the evil knight who as circling around his backside. Only his first strike drew blood but infused with a holy smite, it was enough to get the job done. A scream of death penetrated the air, for the first time that night, as the figure dropped into a huddled ball on the floor. Meanwhile, Oren took to the skies, and landed on the top of the bell tower, getting a view of what was happening on both sides of the building. To his relief, he remembered that the small structure did not have a rear door, only windows. The riders were likely just going around the building the long way, rather than trying to find an entrance in.

Up on the hillside, Adelaide's blade did not hesitate to meet the advancing rider. In a blur of action, three slices aimed at the rider, the first and last made contact. Adelaide's second blow hit with a BOOM! that was sure to shake the roofs of houses in the not-so-far-off village. The rider's horse kept running forward, even as he flew off, over Kerwin's head, and landed prone on the ground next to the Alchemist. A grunt indicated that the man was in great pain, but still alive. Kerwin, shocked to see the savageness of his allies' attacks, focused on his own survival, and cast a spell that created multiple images of himself.

The Leader of the horrific invaders took a quick view of the scene, before deciding on a tactical decision. Marus was protected by spirit guardians, and Gillindan had a long reach with his glaive. He chose to circle around, outside the reach of either, nearing his fallen henchmen. "Your sacrifice will not be in vain brother, rise and fight again!" With the command, a black tendril of energy reached out from the Lantern and possessed the fallen body that Gillindan had just slaughtered. With a deathly moan, the body, broken and bloodied, stood back up. Its movements were no longer natural, as true life had left its limbs. But, under the command of necromantic magic, it continued to fight on.

As if horrified by the unholy magic, the spirit of Hakkouth lashed out violently at the cult members of the Cloak of Aramok. Even the newly formed zombie was not spared his wrath, as he zipped around, searing them with radiant energy. It did not deter them from their dedication to following orders though, and the Knights fought back. Marcus was hit twice, the second blow caused him to lose his concentration, and as a result, his Spiritual Guardian disappeared. Gillindan found himself being hit by more blows and slices as well, as to more slashes cut him deeply.

On the south side of the church, two of the riders forced their horses to push through the thorn ticket, summoned by Daybreak. It was a costly decision, for the animals, who barely made it across, before they were permanently maimed. Leaving their mortally wounded horses behind, the Riders continued to rush around on foot. The third rider decided to disobey orders, and circled back around from the direction he had come, and instead came face to face with Marcus.

On the Hillside, the Knight who had been discounted stood up, and shoot his head. He wasn't sure why he was seeing double, or triple. Lazily he swung at the mage once, missing wide. The second time, he hit! Or, rather, hit something that went POOF!, as soon as his blade sliced through it. One of Kerwin's images disappeared. The other two riders spurred their horses into action, dashing around the bend, and barring down on Adelaide. They flanked her on either side, but had rushed so fast to get there, that they were not prepared to attack just yet.

Inside the church, an argument was starting. "We should help them!" Isabella cried out, seeing Marcus and Gilliindan surrounded by foes. She started to take a step to the door, holding firmly to the broom she had been handed only a few moments earlier. Daybreak reached out an arm to stop her.

"We will do what we can from here, but you are not stepping out of this church," Daybreak insisted. Meanwhile, the Druid changed her own spell's focus, letting the thick blanket of thorns behind the church wither out. Instead, her magic called a beam of light, from the Moon, to shine down, enveloping the lead Knight with the Lantern.

Marcus unleashed how own return volley of crushing blows. His hammer struck the first Knight in front of him, and like Gillindan's blow, was infused with holy energy. Even the shield and armor of the man gave way to the weight of the blow, and bent, leaving a thick imprint of Marcus' hammer. "Let's hope that one stays down..." he shouted towards Gillindan, now knowing exactly what kind of magic was used to raise the Zombie behind that had rejoined the fight.

OODM zebedee - For clarification, when you take the attack action, you get two attacks. When you take the attack action, you can choose to use your bonus action to a make 2 attack with the butt of your weapon. (You may have other things you would rather use your bonus action for) So, this is just 1 attack, regardless of how many attacks you get with the 'attack action'. Gillindan gets hit twice more, once for 5 and once for 10 damage respectively. tomplum - since the intent was to allow a flank, and also to avoid a possible OA, given KH2s position, after failing a STR save vs. Adelaide's attack, I left Kerin where he was. If you prefer that not be the case, let me know and we can retcon it. - One of Kerwin's illusions has been destroyed. Everyone us up to act! NPC Status (not listed are unhurt) Marcus = -45 HP

Kerwin Powell One of his illusions had been destroyed, but two remained and despite one knight focused on battling him and another two fighting Adelaide, Kerwin couldn't help but notice as the lantern wielding man brought a fallen warrior back from the brink. "Oh, hells no!" he cried out in surprise. "Adelaide, make use of that magic a bit longer, I think we've got enough enemies to fight without them picking their own corpses back off the ground." Kerwin reached deep within himself and overcharged one of the standard wizard spells any mage worth their salt learns, the magic missile. He sent three bolts streaking across the lawn hoping to take down the foul necromancer and then turned the last two upon the man attacking him having seen him barely survive his tumble from his horse.   Movement: if KH2 dies, move to D15 Action: Cast Magic Missile as third level spell Bonus Action: Reaction: Free Action: Conditions: Maintain Haste on Adelaide; Mirror Image Rolls: Dice magic missile vs KH2: 2d4+2 (2, 2)+2 Total = 6 Dice magic missile vs KH1: 3d4+3 (1, 1, 3)+3 Total = 8   Kerwin Powell | 6th-Level Transmutation Wizard | 5'3" 190 lbs.

When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you used magic to influence its mood and becomes hostile toward you. A creature prone to violence might attack you. Another creature might seek retribution in other ways (at the DM’s discretion), depending on the nature of your interaction with it.Friends, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (two lodestones) Duration: Instantaneous This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage. This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.Mending, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location. You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube. You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour. You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.Control Flames, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: Up to 1 hour This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.Prestidigitation 1st-Level Spells Known: 1st-level conjuration (ritual) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a piece of string and a bit of wood) Duration: 1 hour This spell creates an invisible, mindless, shapeless, Medium force that performs simple tasks at your command until the spell ends. The servant springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range. It has AC 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 2, and it can’t attack. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. Once on each of your turns as a bonus action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task, then waits for your next command. If you command the servant to perform a task that would move it more than 60 feet away from you, the spell ends.Unseen Servant, 1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You make yourself – including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person – look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can’t change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.Disguise Self, 1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell creates one more dart for each slot level above 1st.Magic Missile, 1st-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 90 feet Components: V, S, M (a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket) Duration: 1 minute This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8, the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.Sleep, 1st-level abjuration (ritual) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a tiny bell and a piece of fine silver wire) Duration: 8 hours You set an alarm against unwanted intrusion. Choose a door, a window, or an area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you whenever a tiny or larger creature touches or enters the warded area. When you cast the spell, you can designate creatures that won’t set off the alarm. You also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible. A mental alarm alerts you with a ping in your mind if you are within 1 mile of the warded area. This ping awakens you if you are sleeping. An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet.Alarm, 1st-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isn’t being worn or carried. The object flies in a straight line up to 90 feet in a direction you choose before falling to the ground, stopping early if it impacts against a solid surface. If the object would strike a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. When the object strikes something, the object and what it strikes each take 3d8 bludgeoning damage. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the maximum weight of objects that you can target with this spell increases by 5 pounds, and the damage increases by 1d8, for each slot level above 1st.Catapult, 1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 round An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to AC, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from magic missile.Shield, 1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (30-foot line) Components: V, S, M (a bit of rotten food) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute A stream of acid emanates from you in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be covered in acid for the spell’s duration or until a creature uses its action to scrape or wash the acid off itself or another creature. A creature covered in the acid takes 2d4 acid damage at start of each of its turns. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 1st.Tasha's Caustic Brew 2nd-Level Spell Known: 2nd-level divination Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a copper piece) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak any language, the creature is unaffected. You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature—what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature’s mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that loom s large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends. Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation. You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language. Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can’t see it, but it must still be within range.Detect Thoughts, 2nd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (powdered corn extract and a twisted loop of parchment) Duration: 1 hour You touch a length of rope that is up to 60 feet long. One end of the rope then rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground. At the upper end of the rope, an invisible entrance opens to an extradimensional space that lasts until the spell ends. The extradimensional space can be reached by climbing to the top of the rope. The space can hold as many as eight Medium or smaller creatures. The rope can be pulled into the space, making the rope disappear from view outside the space. Attacks and spells can’t cross through the entrance into or out of the extradimensional space, but those inside can see out of it as if through a 3-foot-by-5-foot window centered on the rope. Anything inside the extradimensional space drops out when the spell ends.Rope Trick, 2nd-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it’s impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates. Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell’s duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates. If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack’s target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher. A duplicate’s AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed. A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can’t see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.Mirror Image, 2nd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (gold dust worth at least 25 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: Until dispelled You touch a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other entryway, and it becomes locked for the duration. You and the creatures you designate when you cast this spell can open the object normally. You can also set a password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object, suppresses this spell for 1 minute. Otherwise, it is impassable until it is broken or the spell is dispelled or suppressed. Casting knock on the object suppresses arcane lock for 10 minutes. While affected by this spell, the object is more difficult to break or force open; the DC to break it or pick any locks on it increases by 10.Arcane Lock 3rd-Level Spells Known: 3rd-level evocation (ritual) Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Self (10-foot-radius hemisphere) Components: V, S, M (a small crystal bead) Duration: 8 hours A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration. The spell ends if you leave its area. Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can’t extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.Leomund's Tiny Hut, 3rd-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You reach into the mind of one creature you can see and force it to make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to being frightened. On a failed save, the target loses the ability to distinguish friend from foe, regarding all creatures it can see as enemies until the spell ends. Each time the target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Whenever the affected creature chooses another creature as a target, it must choose the target at random from among the creatures it can see within range of the attack, spell, or other ability it’s using. If an enemy provokes an opportunity attack from the affected creature, the creature must make that attack if it is able to.Enemies Abound, 3rd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell fails and has no effect. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.Counterspell, 3rd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a shaving of licorice root) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Choose a willing creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the target’s speed is doubled, it gains a +2 bonus to AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action on each of its turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. When the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.Haste, 3rd-lvl abjuration Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 10 feet Target: A 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range Components: V S M (Holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: 1 hour You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface. Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways: The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw. The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder. Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature. When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it. At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the Duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd.Magic Circle Features: Always on the lookout for danger, you gain the following benefits: You can’t be surprised while you are conscious. You gain a +5 bonus to initiative. Other creatures don’t gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being unseen by you. Alert, Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Transmutation spell into your spellbook is halved.Transmutation Savant, Starting at 2nd level when you select this school, you can temporarily alter the physical properties of one nonmagical object, changing it from one substance into another. You perform a special alchemical procedure on one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials. For each 10 minutes you spend performing the procedure, you can transform up to 1 cubic foot of material. After 1 hour, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), the material reverts to its original substance.Minor Alchemy, Starting at 6th level, you can spend 8 hours creating a transmuter's stone that stores transmutation magic. You can benefit from the stone yourself or give it to another creature. A creature gains a benefit of your choice as long as the stone is in the creature's possession. When you create the stone, choose the benefit from the following options: Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet An increase to speed of 10 feet while the creature is unencumbered Proficiency in Constitution saving throws Resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice whenever you choose this benefit) Each time you cast a transmutation spell of 1st level or higher, you can change the effect of your stone if the stone is on your person. If you create a new transmuter's stone, the previous one ceases to function.Transmuter's Stone, You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your wizard level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

Adelaide Darkdraft Wasting little time and little thought, Adelaide began carving up the next of these jerks, her blade flashing in the light Attack KH5, hit, 10 damageagain and Attack KH5, hit, 13 damageagain.

Character Sheet

[mountainbound]

Seeing both sides of the battle, Oren knows that Marcus is taking the brunt of the assault. He pushes off of the decrepit bell tower, dragon scale cloak whipping behind him in the night breeze, and hovers above the church roof. The warlock can only shudder in horror as the leader of the knights zombifies one of his own men, cruelly twisting life and death in an unholy abuse of power.

"No, you piece of filth," Oren addresses the head knight from above, realizing that the man never said his name, "I know I'm on the right side more than ever. Go back to where you came!"

With that he summons forth a barrage of psychic energy, aiming to knock as many opponents away from his friends, giving Gallindan and Marcus a moment's tactical reprieve.

OOC AC: 16 HP: 54/39 Action: Fly Condition: Armor of Agythys Bonus: none Move: U16, trying to catch KH1, K3 and K5 if possible in 30' cone effect Action: You unleash a destructive wave of mental power in a 30-foot cone.

[zebedee]

Gallindan Gallindan staggers under the continued assault. There are just too many of them, attacking from too many directions. And that one with the lantern seems unwilling to get his hands dirty. We'll see about that. Blood flowing freely from several wounds, he stands tall for a moment... and then is gone. In an instant, he reappears one glaive's length away from the lantern wielder. With his left hand, he reaches down to his belt and a pulse of green light courses across his body. The bleeding slows, but it doesn't stop. He stands straighter and turns his full attention to the lantern bearer.

[Admin Bhelogan]

A trend was starting as Kerwin noted that the leader of this foul cult needed to be neutralized sooner rather than later. Three magic blasts of energy screeched toward the group's leader, while the other two targeted the mountless knight that had just smashed one of his images. All five bolts struck. To the leader, the blasts seemed like a minor annoyance. To the man standing in front of the multiple images of Kerwin, the two bolts proved deadly.

Kerwin's spell of haste was still coursing through Adelaide's veins, and she was going to make good use of it. Two slashes of her sword nearly tore the life from one mounted rider, and left him completely unable to withstand the bash of Adelaide's shield that sent him flying off his mount. Like the previous rider she had dismounted, the horse took off running, leaving the man laying on the ground, wondering if it was worth getting back up. Next, the Paladin tore a patch from her cloak and put it on the ground. The effect was just as she had hoped, as the horse, along with its rider, instantly tumbled down to the suddenly opened pit, and landed with a hard thud. A cracking sound echoed up, as one of the horse's legs broke on impact.

Oren continued to fly above the church and sent out a Psionic Blast to help give Marcus some breathing room. Marcus had to duck when he saw what Oren was about to do, and did so just in time to avoid getting caught in the blast. The spell proved devastating. The closest cult member was slammed into the ground and joined the ranks of fallen knights that evening. The rider on the horse seemed to miss most of the blast, reacting to twist out of the way, upon reading Marcus' body language to do the same. The third was also knocked back, and skidded along the ground, ending nearly at the feat of the Knight with the red lantern.

Gallindan needed a moment of reprieve and used his fey ancestor to step away from the heated part of the frey. The moon-beam lit knight didn't seem to be intimidated by the move, but it did give Gillindan a moment to heal himself, and ready his glaive for striking at anyone that got close.

The beam of light Daybreak had called down started to sear the skin of the Cult Leader and caused him to step out of its range, for a moment, towards the entrance to the church. He looked at his subordinate, lying on the ground and pointed towards Gallindan. As expected, a glaive lashed out as soon as he got close, moments after getting to his feat, that removed his head.

Predictably, the other Knights moved in to surround Marcus, who did his best to defend himself against the barrage of blows that just kept landing. Flanked between the Zombie and the last mounted rider, several blows brought Marcus down to one knee. To those who saw it, they were not sure how he was still alive. But, the stubborn Paladin gritted through the pain, during out how to best keep the enemies busy while his allies widdled down their numbers.

From around the side of the church, the two circling nights dashed towards the front door of the structure, having seen who was inside. Up on the hill, the last two knights facing Adelaide and Kerwin had some tough decisions to make. The first, getting to his feat, decided it was time to flee. He got to his feet, and ran as far as he could away, towards the town, where he hoped to find somewhere to hide. The other, jumping off the back of his lame mount, struggled to get out of the pit Adelaide had placed beneath. He managed to do so, take a step forward, and swung his sword in defiance. To his surprise, he managed to land a blow on the fiery paladin, and he regained a bit of confidence.

"I see you..." The lead Knight called out to Oren, flying in the air. He pointed a finger at Oren, and a bolt of light flew out. It was guided directly to Oren, and hit the Warlock with radiating energy that burned his skin, and caused him to light up like a torch.

Daybreak spotted the knights that were working towards the Church entrance. Although she wanted to help in the battle outside, she knew her priorities were to protect Isabella. She moved her Moonbeam towards the entrance of the building, making it a painful prospect for anyone to pass through of they wanted to get inside. She then moved to brace the front door. Isabella, continued to watch the Druid in action, memorized by her abilities.

Marcus knew he wasn't going to last long at the rate things were going. He had to let his offense down for a moment, to heal his own wounds, much like Gillindan had done. With most of his wound closed, he held his position, waiting to see what played out next. This battle was not a total loss, but he knew it could easily still go either way.

Kerwin Powell With the immediate threat dealt with, Kerwin chanced a glance back toward the church where Marcus was making a valiant stand, Gallindan and Oren were dealing aces and Daybreak had Isabella holed up in the temple. There was still one battling enemy on the hill with he and Adelaide but what caught the wizard's eye were the two knights who had gone completely around the church and were heading toward the door where a beam of light was shining. "No you don't," he said as he cast a sleepspell to the limits of its range to try to stop them from reaching the possessed young woman.   Movement: none Action: Cast Sleep as 2nd lvl at S20 to get KH3 and KH4 Bonus Action: Reaction: Free Action: Conditions: Maintain Haste on Adelaide; Mirror Image Rolls: Dice sleep dice: 7d8 7, 4, 7, 5, 4, 7, 1 Total = 35   Kerwin Powell | 6th-Level Transmutation Wizard | 5'3" 190 lbs.

When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you used magic to influence its mood and becomes hostile toward you. A creature prone to violence might attack you. Another creature might seek retribution in other ways (at the DM’s discretion), depending on the nature of your interaction with it.Friends, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (two lodestones) Duration: Instantaneous This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage. This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.Mending, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location. You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube. You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour. You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.Control Flames, Transmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: Up to 1 hour This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.Prestidigitation 1st-Level Spells Known: 1st-level conjuration (ritual) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a piece of string and a bit of wood) Duration: 1 hour This spell creates an invisible, mindless, shapeless, Medium force that performs simple tasks at your command until the spell ends. The servant springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range. It has AC 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 2, and it can’t attack. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. Once on each of your turns as a bonus action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task, then waits for your next command. If you command the servant to perform a task that would move it more than 60 feet away from you, the spell ends.Unseen Servant, 1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You make yourself – including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person – look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can’t change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.Disguise Self, 1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell creates one more dart for each slot level above 1st.Magic Missile, 1st-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 90 feet Components: V, S, M (a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket) Duration: 1 minute This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8, the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.Sleep, 1st-level abjuration (ritual) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a tiny bell and a piece of fine silver wire) Duration: 8 hours You set an alarm against unwanted intrusion. Choose a door, a window, or an area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you whenever a tiny or larger creature touches or enters the warded area. When you cast the spell, you can designate creatures that won’t set off the alarm. You also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible. A mental alarm alerts you with a ping in your mind if you are within 1 mile of the warded area. This ping awakens you if you are sleeping. An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet.Alarm, 1st-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isn’t being worn or carried. The object flies in a straight line up to 90 feet in a direction you choose before falling to the ground, stopping early if it impacts against a solid surface. If the object would strike a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. When the object strikes something, the object and what it strikes each take 3d8 bludgeoning damage. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the maximum weight of objects that you can target with this spell increases by 5 pounds, and the damage increases by 1d8, for each slot level above 1st.Catapult, 1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 round An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to AC, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from magic missile.Shield, 1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (30-foot line) Components: V, S, M (a bit of rotten food) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute A stream of acid emanates from you in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be covered in acid for the spell’s duration or until a creature uses its action to scrape or wash the acid off itself or another creature. A creature covered in the acid takes 2d4 acid damage at start of each of its turns. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 1st.Tasha's Caustic Brew 2nd-Level Spell Known: 2nd-level divination Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a copper piece) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak any language, the creature is unaffected. You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature—what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature’s mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that loom s large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends. Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation. You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language. Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can’t see it, but it must still be within range.Detect Thoughts, 2nd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (powdered corn extract and a twisted loop of parchment) Duration: 1 hour You touch a length of rope that is up to 60 feet long. One end of the rope then rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground. At the upper end of the rope, an invisible entrance opens to an extradimensional space that lasts until the spell ends. The extradimensional space can be reached by climbing to the top of the rope. The space can hold as many as eight Medium or smaller creatures. The rope can be pulled into the space, making the rope disappear from view outside the space. Attacks and spells can’t cross through the entrance into or out of the extradimensional space, but those inside can see out of it as if through a 3-foot-by-5-foot window centered on the rope. Anything inside the extradimensional space drops out when the spell ends.Rope Trick, 2nd-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it’s impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates. Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell’s duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates. If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack’s target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher. A duplicate’s AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed. A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can’t see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.Mirror Image, 2nd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (gold dust worth at least 25 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: Until dispelled You touch a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other entryway, and it becomes locked for the duration. You and the creatures you designate when you cast this spell can open the object normally. You can also set a password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object, suppresses this spell for 1 minute. Otherwise, it is impassable until it is broken or the spell is dispelled or suppressed. Casting knock on the object suppresses arcane lock for 10 minutes. While affected by this spell, the object is more difficult to break or force open; the DC to break it or pick any locks on it increases by 10.Arcane Lock 3rd-Level Spells Known: 3rd-level evocation (ritual) Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Self (10-foot-radius hemisphere) Components: V, S, M (a small crystal bead) Duration: 8 hours A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration. The spell ends if you leave its area. Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can’t extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.Leomund's Tiny Hut, 3rd-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You reach into the mind of one creature you can see and force it to make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to being frightened. On a failed save, the target loses the ability to distinguish friend from foe, regarding all creatures it can see as enemies until the spell ends. Each time the target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Whenever the affected creature chooses another creature as a target, it must choose the target at random from among the creatures it can see within range of the attack, spell, or other ability it’s using. If an enemy provokes an opportunity attack from the affected creature, the creature must make that attack if it is able to.Enemies Abound, 3rd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell Range: 60 feet Components: S Duration: Instantaneous You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell fails and has no effect. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.Counterspell, 3rd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a shaving of licorice root) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Choose a willing creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the target’s speed is doubled, it gains a +2 bonus to AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action on each of its turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. When the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.Haste, 3rd-lvl abjuration Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 10 feet Target: A 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range Components: V S M (Holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: 1 hour You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface. Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways: The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw.

Gallindan Gallindan is pleased to see some of the knights stay down. And that Marcus has somehow survived the assault so far. Feeling stronger himself, he moves to rejoin the fight. He steps around the lantern bearer to bring two more into range of his glaive. Then he turns his attention to the enemy leader. His glaive cuts deeply, and he again calls out in Elvish, "Let the light shine!" The impact of the divine blow opens up another opportunity, and he slams the haft of his weapon into the man's face with brutal force.

Character Sheet

[mountainbound]

Gritting his teeth against the intense heat from the bolt, Oren masters his pain, keeping a firm grip on his mind so that he doesn't succumb to the fear and burning. He uses his cloak to deflect some of the bolt, and then whips it around him to put out any flames. He sees Gallindan fighting the leader next to Marcus, and that Kerwin seems to be casting something to keep the two at the door occupied. Sensing the leader is the biggest threat, he floats just above the rooftop and sends two bolts of his own back at the lantern holder, hoping to take him out one and for all!
