CJ USED CHATGPT. BOO!!! 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 This is what Ralnor looks like btw:

COMBAT BEGINS

  • The room begins to shake, and the entrance that we originally passed through becomes blocked by falling rubble
  • Ralnor stands from his throne, and points at Kaya with his sword — he means BUSINESS

Initiative

Round 1

  • Ralnor
    • Reaches out to the side with his shield hand, clenching his hand into a fist and hurling it forward, manipulating the rocks in front of us to become difficult terrain
  • Vallen
    • Crouches down and readies himself (charging up something?)
  • Kaya
    • Casts Erupting Earth centered on Ralnor, forcing him to make a DEX save
    • Ralnor succeeds on his save, but still takes half damage
  • Quén
    • Walks forward 15 ft, and tells everyone to ready themselves, since we have a tough battle ahead of us
    • They raise their hand, clenching it into a fist. As they do, a sword made of moonlight materializes from the hilt outwards (Spiritual Weapon)
    • As the light from the sword ripples out through the air, everyone gains 15 temp HP
    • They throw the sword, spinning it through the air Alucard-style, and deals 10 20 points of radiant damage to Ralnor (doubled because radiant and he’s undead)
  • Cordelia
    • Pulls The Hermit as a bonus action, which enables her to cast Confusion on a creature of her choice (she chooses Ralnor, who succeeds 😔)
    • Runs 15 ft. to the side, pulling out the Spellslinger
    • She fires on Ralnor, missing
  • Cal
    • Attacks twice, and only hits once (the 19 misses)
    • He deals 20 damage WITH A GUN!!

Round 2

  • Ralnor
    • His sword - still pointed at Kaya - glows red (originating from his hand, rather than stopping at the hilt of the sword) and fires off four blasts of fire at Kaya
      • Kaya casts Shield in reaction to this
      • 3 hit, dealing 14 damage to her
    • Descends from his throne, and stops at the bottom of the stairs
  • Vallen
    • In one quick motion, he springs forward and passes Ralnor, slashing him with his sword as he passes, dealing 11 damage
  • Kaya
    • Walks up to one of the nearby streams - next to a large boulder - holding her hands out to
    • “Hey, stream. I know we really don’t like this guy right now, and that we kinda have a vendetta against him - since you killed his sister before - do you wanna do something similar to him? Please?”
      • Nothing happens 😔
      • Insight: 15. She feels like this is a trial, and recalls the phrase she’s been hearing for weeks: “You don’t command the tide, you move with it.”
      • She realizes that the water is moving in a very specific direction (away from Ralnor?)
    • Stomps on the ground, taking an earthbending stance and moving the boulder she’s standing next to
      • The boulder blocks the stream, redirecting it across the room and towards the other stream at the other side of the room
  • Quén
    • Walks up to Cordelia and casts Warding Bond on her
      • As they put a hand on her shoulder and give her a reassuring squeeze, Cordelia - for a split second - looks to her side and expects to see Camille there
    • Rolls a NAT 20 to hit Ralnor with their Spiritual Weapon
      • Deals 15 (doubled to 30 bcs Ralnor’s undead) radiant damage
  • Cordelia
    • Uses a bonus action to pull The Chariot
      • This enables herself or an ally to automatically reroll a Nat 1
    • Uses an action to fire another Thunderwave at the wall next to the waterfall
      • It doesn’t hit EXACTLY where she wants it to, but still manages to break open the wall a little more to allow more water to pour in
  • Cal
    • Runs and dashes forward, jumping over one of the streams of water and stopping directly in front of Ralnor
    • He attacks twice, missing both times
    • He whispers to Ralnor: “I fucked your sister”

Round 3

  • Ralnor
    • His sword glows light blue, and as it does it seems to generate some wind force around it
      • Attacks Cal with a 34 TO HIT
      • Deals 32 points of damage to Cal, pushing him back 10 feet
    • CAL CASTS HELLISH REBUKE AS A REACTION
      • Deals 7 damage to Ralnor
    • Cal makes a DEX save
      • Quén uses their reaction to spend a hit die and give Cal a +6
      • Cal throws up :( and he refuses to admit that he did it
      • He manages to stay upright/not get pushed prone
    • Flings the rocks from Kaya’s earlier casting of Erupting Earth at Kaya, but they seem to phase right through her and harmlessly hit the wall behind her
  • Vallen
    • Reaches out a hand, and space begins to distort around Ralnor. A beam of light forms between him and Ralnor (it’s Vallen’s version of Lightning Bolt), dealing 25 points of damage
  • Kaya
    • Pushes the second boulder into the second stream, splitting it in two — it merges with the original path of the stream, with the other half meets with the stream that cuts across the center of the room
    • Moves to be in front of the middle stream that cuts across the center of the room
  • Quén
    • Moves their full movement to stand next to Cal, placing a hand on him and standing in waist-deep water with him
    • Heals Cal with Cure Wounds for 8 HP
    • Attacks with their Spiritual Weapon (20 to attack) and misses — Ralnor ducks and the sword whizzes by his head
  • Cordelia
    • Floats 20 feet off the ground as she pulls The Moon card as a bonus action (she will safely land on the ground at the start of her next turn)
    • Fires the Spellslinger at the waterfall, PERFECTLY hitting her shot (with a NAT 20) and widening the hole even further — the waterfall is GUSHING atp
      • Both pillars near Ralnor’s throne begin to crumble
  • Cal
    • Still standing in waist-deep water, which is slowly rising
    • Lays on his back in the water, lazy river-ing down the stream
      • As he does so, he pulls out his guns and fires at Ralnor
      • Rolls a Nat 1, which triggers Cordelia’s The Chariot effect — he manages to hit with a 28. The other shots miss

Round 4

  • Ralnor
    • Forces Kaya to roll a DEX save (26)
    • The earth beneath Kaya’s feet begins to shift, and the section of ground she’s standing on tilts sideways so that it’s diagonally perpendicular to the ground
      • Kaya manages to stay upright, rooting her feet to the ground like a mineral-seeking goat
      • Kaya takes 18 points of damage (3 ground spikes stab her)
    • Ralnor looks at Kaya, saying: “I tried… to save them.”
      • A single tear slides down Kaya’s cheek
    • Two columns of earth - directly beneath Ralnor’s feet - shoot up, throwing him into the air. When he lands, he buries the blade of his sword in the ground
      • Forces everyone to make a DEX save
      • Kaya takes 39 points of damage
      • Quén takes 78 points of damage (manages to stay up thanks to temp HP)
      • Everyone who failed falls prone (Kaya falls into the river, and Quén loses their footing and starts floating down the river)
  • Vallen
    • Another bolt flies from Vallen’s hand, appearing to distort space as it moves. As it hits Ralnor, the earth cracks beneath him as his weight increases
    • Teleports next to Cal, holding out his hand so Cal doesn’t float down the stream any further
  • Kaya
    • Earthbends one of the crumbling columns so it falls directly on Ralnor
      • Ralnor stabs the sword into himself, and with his hands now free uses them to hold the pillar up to keep it from crushing him
    • The fallen pillar also redirects water so that a stream now flows directly next to Ralnor
  • Quén
    • Uses half their movement to stand up, and gets on shore across from Ralnor
    • Uses their Channel Divinity without expending a hit die or a charge of Channel Divinity, and as they do they feel their heart pound harder for a brief moment
      • CJ ROLLS SOMETHING… but nothing happens?
      • Everyone gains +11 temp HP
      • Kaya gets healed for 17 HP
    • The Spiritual Weapon swings again at Ralnor, but misses (even with advantage 💀)
  • Cordelia
    • Uses her bonus action to pull The Empress, which allows her to choose creature within 60 feet — whenever that creature (Ralnor) takes damage, he takes an additional 1d4 force damage every time he takes damage until the end of Cordelia’s next turn
    • Uses the Spellslinger to fire at the ground beneath Ralnor’s feet
      • The ground caves in beneath EVERYONE, and we - as well as Ralnor - plummet. As he plummets, he screams angrily and the earth comes with him
      • We all have to make DEX saves (we all pass, but still take 8 points of damage)
  • CHANGE OF SCENERY
    • Perception checks: everyone except for Cordelia realizes that we’re in the royal catacombs
    • Floating above the throne - or what remains of the fallen throne - is a shard of the Orb
    • CJ pulls out the Jenga Tower… I get scared 😨
    • We see that - as Ralnor lands - the water seems to flow around him — as if he’s not allowed to touch water at all
  • Cal
    • Moves towards Ralnor, pushing him — Ralnor wobbles a little but manages to stay on his feet
    • Attempts to grapple Ralnor, rolls a Nat 1 :(
      • HE MANAGES TO GRAB RALNOR’S ARMOR!!! But now he can’t let go???
    • JON NOW HAS TO PULL A BLOCK FROM THE JENGA TOWER

Round 5

  • Ralnor
    • Takes his shield - with the sword still stuck in his back - wrapping an arm around Cal, and throws his shield at Kaya like he would a throwing knife (hits with a 25)
      • Kaya takes 24 HP, taking Kaya down to 23 HP
      • The shield bursts into flame as it hits her, instantly cauterizing the wound
    • Mans screams again. His ass CANNOT shut up
  • Vallen
    • Bro starts charging up another attack, crouching down
  • Kaya
    • Launches a spike in the wall at Ralnor, dealing 14 damage to him and 7 damage to herself
  • Quén
    • Drinks a Potion of Greater Healing 12 HP
      • They heal themself, and as they do, Ralnor reaches backwards, pointing at the Orb. Izzie has to pull a Jenga block, and Ralnor says: “Nobody’s dying today.”
      • Ralnor heals :(
    • Casts Life Transference on Kaya, taking 24 necrotic damage (and healing for 9), while healing Kaya for 48 HP
      • Ralnor heals for 24 HP :(
    • Also moves to be right next to Kaya
  • Kaya (Free Action)
    • Perception 25: She realizes that Ralnor’s never acknowledged the water itself???
  • Cordelia
    • Pulls The Lovers card as a bonus action, transferring half of her current HP to Quén (25 HP)
    • Fires a Firebolt at Ralnor using the Spellslinger, but misses
  • Cal
    • Attempts to push Ralnor into the water, winning the STR contest — he manages to move Ralnor 5 feet closer to the water
      • Ralnor’s head is now being hit by water, since he’s prone and his head is touching a stream
      • Ralnor gets PISSED at this, crying out in a bloodcurdling scream and attempts to push Cal off
    • Ralnor (LEGENDARY ACTION)
      • Earthbends a pillar to push Cal over, knocking him prone
    • Cal uses half his movement to stand back up
    • Uses a bonus action to attempt to grapple Ralnor again

Round 6

  • Ralnor
    • Stands back up, pulling the sword out of his body and throwing it to the side
    • He finally looks to the water, and - with as much force as he can - shoots the water directly at Cal, dealing 17 points of damage
    • Forces Kaya and Quén to make DEX saves
      • Ralnor throws out his free hand - the hand NOT controlling the water - and a wave of flames rush towards them. They both manage to duck beneath it and don’t take any damage
