MÖRK BORG: Chapter II: The Greed Lineage

[Stormbringer]

I don't suppose we have the fantasy version of flash bang grenades handy?

Not right now, no!

[Sly Boots]

Door Protocol Alpha, deploy!

[Stormbringer]

Holding Precious up to the door, the bird's head tells Giant Dances the Sea that all is quiet on the other side.

[Sly Boots]

I'll ease the door open and peer beyond.

[Stormbringer]

Giant Dances the Sea peeps out and deduces that there's a hallway. At the north end, a closed door, to the east. At the south end, it bends around a corner.

[Sly Boots]

Giant will repeat DPA (Door Protocol Alpha) on the door to the north.

[Stormbringer]

After careful listening, Precious informs GDTS that there is the sound of...chewing...going on, beyond this door.

[Sly Boots]

Giant will geeeeently ease the door open a crack, just enough to see inside the room.

[Stormbringer]

GDTS peers through the door, and sees a very large room, leading right into the heart of the castle. It is a well-furnished study, lit by two blazing torches, with several chairs of expensive make, now faded and mildew-spattered. A large oaken desk sits in the centre, strewn with books, piles of parchment and spilled ink. The Blade of the Ancestors also sits atop this desk, its distinct cockerel pommel glittering in the light of the torches. The walls are lined with tapestries showing the emblem of Baron Risten V.

Five undead are in the room. Three have swords, one has a spiked club, and one is unarmed. They are chewing on the corpses of five guardsmen, each wearing the aketons of the Risten livery, and each having wielded a sword before they fell in violent battle.

At the back of the chamber, sitting on a throne, is a sixth undead, having the bearing of a nobleman. He is wearing gilded chainmail, and adorned with a mouldering cape of almost royal finery. A fine sword is leaning next to the throne. Sitting on his lap is what remains of Baron Risten V, dead, being hungrily devoured by the undead lord.

A door can be seen at the back of the chamber, in its south-eastern corner.

[Animalmother]

Malaiz peers around the door, takes in the sight of the occupants and backs away slowly. He dutifully hands each remaining member of the party a healing suppository with a firm nod.

Can I summon 2 spells again or is that still on cool down as it where?

[Sly Boots]

I think what Giant will attempt to do is cast SKELETON BOMB in the middle of the room, then close the door again before any of the undead inside realise the source. Hopefully it at least weakens the group inside somewhat before we take them on, but things will likely kick off pretty quickly, so Giant will do his best to explain his idea to Margar and Malaiz before doing anything

[Animalmother]

I think I have a spell to command a creature to perform one act. I could cast it in the zombie lord to kill everything.

[Stormbringer]

Can I summon 2 spells again or is that still on cool down as it where?

Once daily.

You still have one scroll you summoned: Enochian Syntax. A successful cast means you can make any creature obey a single command.

He dutifully hands each remaining member of the party a healing suppository with a firm nod.

These aren't really things you hand out: it's basically a doctor's bag that you use to treat wounded people. Right now, only Margar is wounded.

If you do this, test Presence (d20 + 3)

[Animalmother]

Malaiz instructs Margar to present the appropriate orifice and he will administer some healing.

I'd like to try the mind control spell.

[Stormbringer]

Malaiz instructs Margar to present the appropriate orifice and he will administer some healing.

If Margar agrees, it's a d6. We'll make Margar roll it.

I'd like to try the mind control spell.

First, let's try casting it: test Presence d20 + 3
