| + | === Session Start & Setup === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Players adjust hope totals for their characters and confirm starting stats. | ||
| + | * The group is considered mounted on their Talons (animal companions/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Initial Combat: Zombies and Flaming Humanoids === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The party breaches the village gate and fights a horde of zombies, successfully cutting them down with teamwork and weapons. | ||
| + | * Two burning, charred humanoids (“immolator”) attack from different directions while another horde of zombies closes in. | ||
| + | * **Key Actions:** | ||
| + | * The sorcerer casts a “chaos” spell, describing a prismatic energy attack, and targets a flaming enemy, dealing significant damage. | ||
| + | * The druid casts an ice spike spell, contributing additional damage. | ||
| + | * The guardian sends his Talon to attack, and personally absorbs and negates incoming damage using armor and skills. | ||
| + | * The bard supports with a rally and considerations of buffs. | ||
| + | * The immolator erupt in flames during the fight, causing area damage; players manage fire-related conditions (catching fire, dousing flames) using agility and other rolls. | ||
| + | * Heavy use of group defense tactics—sword blocks, armor, and coordinated party abilities to reduce or avoid catastrophic damage. | ||
| + | * Player characters take turns attacking, healing, or defending each other as zombies and immolators push the group’s limits. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Aftermath and Firefighting === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * After defeating the immediate threats, several buildings remain engulfed in fire, and voices cry for help from inside. | ||
| + | * **Player Actions to Rescue Villagers: | ||
| + | * The warrior physically smashes open burning doors to rescue panicked civilians, carefully avoiding flame bursts. | ||
| + | * The druid and bard enter buildings to find, free, and evacuate trapped villagers, relying on instinct and presence checks. | ||
| + | * The sorcerer uses water and elemental powers to shield against heat and helps suppress flames, supporting rescue attempts. | ||
| + | * The group coordinates “progress checks” to rescue as many people as possible before structures collapse, sometimes splitting up efficiently for multi-location rescues. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Recovery, Healing, and Interrogation === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * With fires under control and villagers gathered, the party provides first aid and tends to their wounded, using class features and downtime abilities. | ||
| + | * The villagers inform the party that most of the survivors were kidnapped and the few holdouts locked inside buildings to burn; their attackers came from the north (Serpent’s Creek), taking many prisoners. | ||
| + | * The group assists with further fire suppression and bucket brigades before taking a much-needed short rest to recuperate, repair armor, heal, and swap abilities as needed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Following the Trail === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Refreshed, the party organizes to track the kidnappers north toward Serpent’s Creak, using Talons to scout ahead for additional threats or survivors. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Next Encounter: Pursuing Captors === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The party’s scouts identify a rear guard of enemy soldiers—some armed with rifles, others with heavy clubs—escorting prisoners. | ||
| + | * **Ambush and Combat:** | ||
| + | * The sorcerer attacks with chaos bolts; the druid uses entangle and shapechanges into a wolf to engage quickly. | ||
| + | * The warrior and slayer execute coordinated melee and ranged attacks, focusing on disabling key enemies and freeing any restrained allies. | ||
| + | * The bard provides enhancements, | ||
