Ryo’fein will take 20. If we started out with 5,000gp, did you guys want to split that 7 ways? Or just mark it as a party bank? 100gp for 20 arrows that does +2d6 to undead would be awesome.

The Group purchases what they need and head towards House Morcane. The tunnel leading in has a twenty skeletons waiting on the other side of what would have been a barrier but you step through the magical abjuration and then make quick work of the meagre servants left to keep watch.

Ryo’fein notices some sort of alarm with his perception and simply fires an arrow at it before it can begin to make any noise. The main door to the house has been shattered and standing guard at the opening in the distance is the large form of some sort of zombie giant or ogre.

Having issues then here

I couldn’t figure out how to gray parts out attempt to pretend your character doesn’t see them

Purging a nest of undead would be tiresome work. The skeletons were a good warm-up, but a gigantic zombie requires Ryo’fein’s full attention.

He ensured that they were all hidden as they prepared for the ambush. Once ready, he nocked the newly purchased arrow and let loose.
OOC:
I’m assuming we can take the creature by surprise, but I’ll roll Initiative in case you want us to. Also mentioned giving time for folks to prep if they need to beforehand, that way I’m not forcing people into combat before they’re ready.

Action: Ready Action to attack when an ally attacks the creature.

I'll take the stake and I'm good with party loot. Seems appropriate for House Platin :)
Can we get some more info about the scimitars and rapier?

Purchasing the silver stake, T'rissae gives the drider a curious look as she evaluated the weapon. Gia seemed unusually prepared for the vampiric threat that had overtaken their city. But then again, apparently the T'sarrans had been a threat for some time beforehand. Thanking her for the support, T'rissae briefly considered asking further questions but decided against it. She wasn't sure she could word them politely and this seemed like a bad time anyway.

Following Ryo'fein's lead, the cleric whispered an incantation while her fingertips plucked at summoned starlight. She always enjoyed watching beings who had never seen moonlight experience it for the first time.

Rolls

Dex (advantage) - Initiative - (2d20H1+2)

(1714) + 2 = 19

Sacred Flame - Dex save DC 16 - (2d8)

As T’rissae’s flame distracted the creature, Ryo’fein took the opening and fires another shot.
OOC:
Readied Action triggered.

OOC:
The scimitars and Rapier are +1 weapons. She's selling them to you cheap for 250 gold.
Ryo is a whirling agent of destruction, his weapons chip away at bone and remove huge ribs from the creature. If it had been alive he would already have killed it. However, it is undead and thus still there when he is done breaking and shattering bones.

Bor levels his trusty bow at the giant zombie. Wary dwarven eyes surely press against underdarkened night, as our deurgar fellow puts two magical arrows into dungeonous air!

Rolls

Longbow - Attack - (1d20+11)

(3) + 11 = 14

Longbow - Damage - (1d8+2)

(7) + 2 = 9

Undead Dmg - (2d6)

(21) = 3

Burny quickly ran through her litany of spells but none seemed appropriate. She had Yao Pu fly at the giant's face, its invisible talons helping distract it (help action), turning the raven visible as it flew behind the giant's head.

Then she reached for her link with Shishi and blasted it with eldritch energies.

Rolls

Eldritch Blast - (1d20+8)

(11) + 8 = 19

Advantage from help action - (1d20+8)

(6) + 8 = 14

Force Damage with agonizing blast (+5 each) and repelling blast (knocks back target 10+10' no save) - (2d10+10)

(83) + 10 = 21

Eldritch Blast 2nd bolt - (1d20+8)

(13) + 8 = 21

Advantage - (1d20+8)

(10) + 8 = 18

Bor and Burny come in with the assist and the large Zombie is once again dead.

Inside the entrance hall itself there are still some spots of blood here and there. Remnants of House Morcane’s fight.
There are three rooms here, one east, one north, and one south. All the doors are closed.

Ryo'fein took point and kept an eye out to let the others check the corpse for any possible loot. "Keep going left until we make it back around?" It was an old explorer's trick to not get lost, just stick to one direction and explore every corner.
OOC:
He'll head up north when everyone's ready (unless someone wants to go elsewhere, I just picked a direction to keep things moving).
Feb 8, 2026 9:14 pm
"Hold up, Ryo. Let me send my arcane eye in to check things out first."

Burny sends the Eye ahead to check out the rooms (if it can get in, if doesn't open doors); she may have to move closer to do so, if so she waits for the others to come with her. Yao Pu goes up top to scout the rest of the area from the sky (invisibly).

Ryo'fein glanced back. He wasn't used to working with others. It was strange. Unnerving and strange. He didn't like relying on others, but he'd have to admit, a magical eye? Well, that is quite handy.

He nodded appreciatively at Burny.
Feb 11, 2026 5:57 pm
The doors are open and the eye takes a look through each one.

North
In the reception room to the north there are four creatures in dark black armor the visors are down and they are likely not alive.

East
The Great Hall has a huge banquet table in the center. A chandelier hangs above and light shines down at a table where a meal has recently been served for four people. At each seat there is a pool of blood right next to chains that have been set into the table itself. From the marks it is clear some living person was chained down at the table at each seat, their neck presented to the one who was dining on them.

South
Ther is a kitchen with two Goblins working to clean up to the west. The east has a closed door marked ‘Storage’

OOC:
It's been a while, so I'm just going to assume that Burny shared his findings, that way I can post.
"Four dark creatures to the north sounds very inviting to me." Ryo'fein smiled at the others, but then turned serious. "We're here to clear this place out, so let's start cleaning."
Feb 17, 2026 1:29 am
Sorry, yes.

Any way to prep for 4 armored undead? Anyone need to prep spells? Anything you think will work well?
Feb 17, 2026 12:51 pm
Exhausted but undeterred, our duergar fellow simply raises his trusty warhammer, gesturing to Shaojiao in implied fighter-minded reply!
Feb 19, 2026 2:48 pm
You enter the room and the four skeletal knights turn your way. They stare at you as if awaiting a command and only after a moment do they even realize that you do not have a command sigil allowing you to attack them before they can attack you.
OOC:
You should be able to reach any of them.
Feb 19, 2026 4:18 pm
Burny doesn't enter the room herself. That would be foolish and she might get in the way of the warriors. She sends Yao Pu in, flying invisibly up near the ceiling. He's a bit sulky about it, but it's all mental so no one else needs to listen to him.

The instant the Skeleton knights turn to attack, Burny attempts to banish the two farthest away Skeleton Knights.
