Persepia D&D 5e campaign (The Cult of Silver?)

[Haschel Cedricson]

I don’t expect this to come up but I generally play with a house rule of “you can’t attack another PC unless they consent to it”. Again, I trust this crew but honestly it should be a rule in every campaign just in case.

[Save The Dragons]

yeah i'm down for that. if you think you have a good reason to break that rule talk to me but this should be a PvE game.

[Nexus]

All sounds good to me.

[Save The Dragons]

hype for this, we should be able to start in the next couple of days

[Dannflor]

Sounds good! I'm excited

Jake the Wolfie is going to go with the standard stats since that roll kinda sucks

[Cephrir]

i would go so far as to say it is spectacularly bad

i went with the standard array too it's fine

[Cephrir]

i've been through the forest with an elf with no name

(i figure he will probably find a name somewhere along our travels)

probably not gonna peep y'all's character sheets bc i prefer to experience your representation of them

[Dannflor]

yeah, I'll be doing the same, but I put mine out there if anyone is particularly curious

[Save The Dragons]

You don’t know what you’ve signed up for, but it promised to pay a little gold, which you’re short of at the moment. You’re in a dimly lit room, seated on uncomfortable wooden benches, waiting. Soon, a portly halfling, whom you know as Goertz, waves you out of the room. “Quickly, quickly now.” He practically pushes and pulls the lot of you up a couple of stairs to what appears to be a large red curtain that’s been faded in color and picked at by the occasional moth apparently due to the holes in it. There are several props on stage, including a locked treasure box, a giant target, a 50 foot rope coiled on the ground, and a glass tank with a live fish swimming in it. Goertz pulls a rope and the curtain starts to ascend, revealing an audience of many races staring at you. Humans are well represented, but gnomes, halflings, elves and half-elves, half-orcs, dwarves, tieflings, dragonborn, and even more exotic races like kenku and leonin are here to watch the show. Goertz rushes out in front of you all.

“Ladies, Gentlemen, and Non-Binary Friends, I present to you, the Fascinating Sharks!” he gestures to you all, with a hasty nod. “Go on, you know what to do. Just show them some fancy magic or neat skill you got, they’re all drunk anyway they won’t care what you do,” he whispers harshly.

Roll Initiative (note, I will be rolling for everyone to keep the game moving, but typically you would roll a d20 + initiative.)

‘Well hes shes and theys, usually they save the best til last, but never mind. Get ready to have your socks blown off. Those of you with a sensitive disposition would do well to look away.’

Aulric waves his hands in a showy way before tapping his horns and clicking his fingers as he casts ‘minor illusion’ and the sounds of raucous clapping fills the room.

He then gives a wry smile as he taps on the tank. ‘And for my next trick, I’m going to drink all of this water.’

The applause dissipates as the squeaking sound of voices say ‘no mr nasty tiefling don’t eat us.’ Aulric looks back at the audience. ‘Should I?’

if I am reading the rules of minor illusion I can use it to make different sounds over the course of 1 minute.

[Save The Dragons]

Much of the audience is stunned at first hearing the applause, looking around the room trying to locate it before realizing you cast a neat spell. They turn their attention to Aulric as you say you want to drink the water from the tank. The room fills with shouts of things like "Yes! i wanna see you drink all that" and "No the poor fish!" You're not sure which one is getting more votes, but the audience seems invested either way.

[Nexus]

Aulric reaches into the tank and grabs a fish tightly in his hand. It wriggles, and he moves his hand to the tail, letting it wiggle from the fin. He winks at the audience and then swallows it.

advantage was granted due to using the illusion to help with the slight of hand check.

A mixture of groans and "ewws" erupt form the audience, but in equal number are wide eyed gawkers amazed you were able to put a big fish into your mouth and swallow it. Someone in the front row mutters something about wondering if all tieflings eat raw fish, and gets a hmmph from a nearby tiefling. Regardless, you get a big reaction from the audience, they seem to be excited.

Goertz comes out from the side "Ha, very nice. Give it up for...uh...i forgot your name...the tiefling! Take a bow, take a bow. Next, turn your attention to...ahh...how about the gnome over there?" Goertz gestures to Cael.

Cael is up!

[Guillotina]

“Di name is Cael…”

The audience murmurs when they see something they've never seen before, a black gnome with a heavenly name, some in awe, others in disgust.

Cael walks up to the center of the stage carrying a staff twice his size and his eyes closed, someone in the audience yells “Oi! Look at that, the staff looks like it is dragging down and up the stage the little black creature!”. Everyone laughs.

Cael smirks and opens his eyes and replies pointing at the man's groin. “A Child with a pecker smaller than mine is talking about size! Now that one is one hell of a joke!”. Everyone laughs, shutting up the man and making him leave the establishment totally embarrassed.

Cael then hits the floor with his staff and conjures “Chill Touch”.

Cael: “Who wants to see this ghostly hand from Hades drag that man back here?”

[Save The Dragons]

The audience cheers, excited to see some magic. Some turn to the man, eager to see him dragged back, and some watch the gnome intently.

Cael will roll for Chill Touch with disadvantage in an attempt to drag the man back without hurting him.

A cold skeletal hand reaches out and grabs the man, to the "oohs" and "aahs" of the audience. Some of them look a little nervous at the spell, but the majority of the audience is into it. The man tries to dodge but falls to the floor and is picked up by the icy cold hand and dragged back towards the stage. The hand clings tightly around the man's arm, and he shivers, looking with abject fear at the wizard he insulted, clearly regretting his decision.

Goertz whispers from the back of the stage, "Okay, okay, you got him good, wanna let him go? Don't want to scare the audience too much, eh?"

[Guillotina]

Cael nods in agreement and commands the hand to let go, then the hand vanishes into the dimensional wormhole it came from.

Cael tells the man: “Apologies, I don't have the wisdom that my father had to control my impulses. But i'm working on it.”
