Ok it's time to get started. Let me read off some flavor text first and we'll begin. Ahem.

When everyone is ready to start, the event coordinator should read the following.

Hmm. Don't think I was supposed to say that out loud. Ah, here we go.

The sun is rising high over the eastern ridgeline, illuminating
the Floshin Estate, a graceful keep of wood and stone built
in the willowy architecture of the elves. Beneath the estate,
you meet a number of adventurers, including Sir Isteval,
your friend and patron. Also present is a male dwarf with
wild brown hair, a smiling and well-dressed male Calishite,
a silver-haired half-elf clad in worn leather armor, and a
human-sized figure in a dark cloak.


You recognize the half-elf as Kelson Darktreader. Sir Isteval speaks first:

“My friends!” Isteval says. “The Sword Coast is safer now, but
the Red Wizards still scheme against us. We must end the
threat completely, and we now have the chance to do just that.
“We know


gently caress. gently caress, I don't think I can do this. I can't deal with these goddamn NPCs taking the spotlight. Who writes this poo poo? Alright, forget that, let me make a few changes and start over...
\
:smugwizard:





For years you have battled the forces of the dreaded Thayans, the Red Wizards. Their bastion at Bloodgate Keep has proven impenetrable. From a portal deep within the keep, their armies are vomited forth, teleported to your lands from the far away realm of Thay. Even now their vast army of undead terrors and monstrous creations lurks outside your walls. When the order to attack comes, none of you may survive.

Tonight you are secure in your keep, Castle Tartarus, one of the last bastions of safety remaining in the land. Hope has been nearly lost and your men despair at the odds. Only one last, desperate chance remains. You must rely on a traitor.

A turncoat has joined your side. Mennek of the Red Wizard stands before you now, about to brief you one last time on a dangerous plan.



"As I said before, I have worked at the Bloodgate itself. The gate is powered by elemental energy, living sacrifices and the will of the lich Tarul Var. All three of those elements will need to be disrupted to close the gate and end the threat of Bloodgate Keep."

"Four elemental nodes power the keep: one each of earth, air, fire and water. At the center of each node is a 'key' of sorts; escape from the node with it, and the node itself will collapse. Then you'll be transported to the Bloodgate Nexus, where you must disrupt the sacrifices and deal with the lich."

"It's all quite simple, really. Only one question remains: which nodes shall I teleport you to?"

Montgomery Williams

After conferring with the other forthright individual that put themselves forward Montgomery managed to split the group of would be adventurers into two groups, one accompanying him and the other accompanying the fly orbited wood elf, this Folhapreta. The elf has managed to surround himself with some hefty looking individuals, still Montgomery looks at his group and does not feel like he really came out all that bad.

He confers with the group, and tries to come up with a team name for ease of use, but one of the two clerics keeps speaking up. A brash individual, who seems prone to rushing into danger, a man by the name of KRAG HACK. A seasoned adventurer who has somehow managed to survive some terrible odds, despite his tendency to rush straight into danger. KRAG HACK keeps bringing up Heart, and eventually to appease him the name inadvertently becomes Team Heart. This will probably change at some later time, but for now it will have to do.

Then they get down to trying to decide which node to tackle first. After some debate it is finally decided, mostly by KRAG HACK again, that Fire would be a good idea. It will likely hurt, but any hurts should be a simple matter for the group to heal with their plentiful healing magics. So Montgomery turns to Mennek.

"We will tackle the Fire node first."

The thief doesn't mess around, he knows his team's name. Not heart. Team Golden Balls. Those two things were all that mattered in this hosed up world.

"Earth node please."

There were bound to be precious stones and metals in such a place, that should be liberated before the key is removed and the whole node collapses.

KRAG HACK

Krag Hack beams with pride at the naming of the group though not understanding why it needed a name. Still, this mean't they would finally go and hit things which Krag always like. He looked down to see Hug Hug reach out his hands as these adventures always started, ready to be scooped up and put on Krag's shoulders. With one movement Hug was placed in scouting position, a quick pat on the head for Cid and they were ready to move.

"A brave choice! Good luck, Team Heart."

Mennek quickly casts a teleport spell, whisking team two out of the thread. He then turns towards the remaining team bound for the earth node.

"Seriously, who in their right mind choose fire? Oh well. Good luck out there. Remember: find the key, stop the sacrifices, kill the lich."

Team Golden Balls disappears in a flash. The last thing you hear is a distant "Goodluck, Balls!"

You find yourselves surrounded by a ring of great, uneven stone slabs thrust up from the center of a dusty chamber. Most of the slabs go all the way to the ceiling. Most...

All have gaps between them, revealing a larger area and many passages beyond the ring.

Rocks fall. Everyone might die. At least you aren't on fire?

Everyone needs to do a DC13 Dex save as debris falls in the area. Note that some classes have Dex saving throw proficiency, so those cases get to roll 1d20+dex+prof. If you fail, take 2d4 bludgeoning damage from rocks.

Soon the quake ceases and the dust settles. The path isn't entirely blocked off with fallen rocks. Do you continue NW, or take a different route?

I'm going to speed things up a bit so we aren't just poking around a cave for a week. Any effects that last an hour or more are still going, other stuff has expired.

Now that you are aware of the quake signs you manage to avoid any more collapses. You safely navigate the tunnels until coming upon a large chamber.

A low rise of rocky ground is set with a huge boulder whose
cracks and fissures glow with golden light. A prickly orb of
violet crystal
containing a spark of the same golden light has
been driven into the boulder’s upper surface.


Surrounding the boulder are a pair of massive earth elementals, possibly the parents of the ones you slew earlier. They must have heard you coming, and they defend the boulder.

Earth Elementals' init: 1d20-1 0. Zero. :golfclap:
Don't bother rolling init, take your turns now!


Initiative
:rolldice: Ganja Elf (38/38 AC12)
:rolldice: Folhapreta
:rolldice: Bronan the Brobarian (57/64 AC18)
:rolldice: Pragor Krakskull (59/59 AC15)
:rolldice: Justice McHeropants (52/52 AC19)
Earth Elemental (x2)(68/68HP AC13, resists nonmagical weapons, immune to lots of poo poo)


Darker areas are sandy difficult terrain. Climbing the boulder is a DC10str/athletics check. The orb is on top.

Are you in or are you out?

I want that thing. gently caress elementals get key.

Athletics: 1d20+7 20

Cunning action for hustle gives me 21 squares of movement. After a head start I can jump 10 feet, which is enough to clear any 2 squares of difficult terrain. That should give me enough movement to get to the key, recover it with an action if need be, then jump back off the boulder and get back to the party.

As an aside we could probably bottleneck these fat elementals by hanging out where we are.
