=== Episode 27: Thing in the Rug === ==== The Party ==== ([[Liisa Lee|Liisa]]) [[Arabelle]] - Vistani ([[Anna Prosser Robinson|Anna]]) [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] - Human Paladin of Lathander ([[Commander Holly|Holly]]) [[Strix]] - Tiefling Sorcerer ([[ProJared]]) [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] - Human Rogue ([[Nathan Sharp|Nathan]]) [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] - Human Bard ==== Murderbot ==== The group is being rewarded with treasure from the [[vistani]]. [[Strix]] picked a rug. Something is in the rolled-up rug and she is about to unfurl it. [[Arabelle]] uses her tarokka deck and does a reading. The cards tell her that the hag pin is close. The group needs the hag pin for the [[Ritual to Trap Strahd|ritual]]. The rug has a unicorn on it. Chris points out that this is not [[Strix]] 's style at all, and that it would look terrible in her hovel. Rolled up in the rug is a humanoid. It's a short jester. He has a little club. [[Strix]] snatches it from him. He is a silent, evil little golem. His eyes open. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] senses evil coming from him. She commands him to no longer be evil. It doesn't seem to work. Arabelle thinks he looks cool and wants to be friends with him. She asks him to find the hag pin. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] has it. He says nothing. [[Luvash]] declares that the evil toy is now the property of the heroes in a most gregarious manner. Jared wonders if they will one day turn him into a real boy. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] goes to scope out [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] and somehow gets lost in the tiny camp by rolling a natural one. It is a maze of horses. He eventually finds [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]], who seems to be crying. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] has no sympathy whatsoever. The adventurers grab some more treasure. They get non-magic jewelry and a potion. ==== The Vistani Tent ==== Someone is cooking waffles for the heroes in a [[vistani]] tent. Most of the group goes into the tent. [[Strix]] stays outside.. She's sure something bad is going to happen. She spots two [[vistani]] talking quietly outside. [[Strix]] goes into ''gaseous form'' and learns that one [[vistani]] is leaving to inform [[Count Strahd von Zarovich|Strahd]] that the adventurers are here. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] rolls a natural 20 on his perception. He sees that the shadows of the [[vistani]] and [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] are moving of their own accord. He joins [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] dancing and warns her that something's up, and they nonchalantly dance out of the tent. [[Chris Perkins|Chris]] points out that the waffles are still being made. [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] tells the group that [[Count Strahd von Zarovich|Strahd]] is linked to the [[vistani]] and that their shadows are representative of that. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] grabs [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] and asks him what he did. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] goes, "Is this the part where we kiss?" ==== Murderbot's First Murder ==== [[Arabelle]] shows a kid named Joseph her new buddy. The group is calling the little serial killer golem "[[Murderbot]]." The kid spits on [[Murderbot]]. [[Murderbot]] opens his mouth and fires a dart into Joseph's neck. He falls over. He's dead! [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] says he can bring the kid back to life, but he won't do it unless the group agrees to stick the hag pin in [[Arabelle]] (killing her). [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] grabs [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] and says, "You heal this child, you dirty cockroach." She intimidates him and throws him to the ground. The group rolls initiative. [[Arabelle]] runs and [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] tries to grab her, but he rolls a 3. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] casts ''sleep'' on [[Arabelle]], which works. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] pulls out the hag pin and stabs [[Arabelle]]. She reaches up and smears her blood on his face. Then she shrivels into a husk, dead. [[Strix]] has ''see invisible'' going and rolls a 20 on her perception check. She spots an individual watching from the shadows. [[Strix]] decides to cast enlarge/reduce on this person, but they make their saving throw. ==== Vistani Retaliation ==== The mystery person steps out of the shadows and stabs [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] . It's Arugal the [[vistani]]. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] casts ''thunderwave'', hitting Arugal and a couple of party members. [[Strix]]'s moths and dirt clumps go flying everywhere. The [[vistani]] in the tent have heard the activity. [[Strix]] panics and uses a ''fireball'' to set the tent on fire. An angry mob rushes [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]], who is holding dead [[Arabelle]]. He chucks her corpse at them and turns to run. He turns and there's Luvash, her father. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] avoids eye contact. [[Luvash]] starts choking him with his whip. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] slips free and jumps on [[Strix]]'s horse. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] turns ''invisible'' and heads for a horse. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] flies into the air with her magic boots, crying. She wants to get the dead kid, Joseph, and take him along, but ultimately she decides to let him go to [[Lathander|The Morninglord.]] [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] rolls a critical hit on Arugal. [[Strix]] can see [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] because she can ''see invisible''. Arugal kills the horse that [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] and [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] are on. [[Strix]] and [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] are actually torn on whether to go get [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] and [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] or not. [[Strix]] decides to go back for them and yells, "Friendship!" Diath mutters, "we're dead" over and over. [[Strix]] casts ''darkness'' right on top of the mob. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] gets off the horse and puts [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] on. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] and [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] hold hands in the magical darkness and everyone starts yelling "friendship!" [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] flies down and grabs onto [[Strix]]'s horse, which is fleeing. She is "horse surfing." The [[vistani]] get on their horses. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] and [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] are running. The group actually gets away and makes it safely into the woods. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] casts ''cure wounds'' on [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]], who was at 0 hit points. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] summons [[Mourning Glory]] with a Disney Princess mini-tune. End of session. {{Episode nav|state=expanded}} [[Category:Episodes]]
