Agatha
The banshee is not fooled by Kriv's antics and becomes infuriated with the mind-trick that the dragonborn attempted. As he finishes his request, the banshee shares it's anguish with a loud, mournful wail. The sound shakes the trees and branches that make up it's lair but also rattles the minds of the living. Blood starts to ooze from your ears as the death wail assaults you.
Those who do not die heard an answer in the wail, "The disposition of the spellbook formerly belonging to the mage Bowgentle is in the hands of a necromancer named Tsernoth from the city of Iriaebor and the name of the wizard who built the Old Owl Tower is Arthindol."
As it quiets, it starts to fade and then disappears.

Standing back she grins wryly at Kriv's word play, tensing a bit as she waits for Agatha's response.
It is not long in coming, and she claps her hands over her ears as the wail pierces her brain. The screech staggers her, but she manages, just barely, to maintain consciousness.
Kallista Con Save

Chandan CON Save DC 13

The banshee releases a mournful wail, provided that she isn't in sunlight. This wail has no effect on constructs and undead. Al l other creatures within 30 feet of her that can hear her must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature drops to 0 hit points. On a success, a creature takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage.
So, I guess you're saying that Chandan is more than 30 feet away, which I'll buy. You definitely need a couple of people to survive to provide healing. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 | Davroar
He falls to his knees, eyes closed, and pressing both hands to his ears in a vain attempt to block the banshee's wail from his mind. When it finally ends, his head hurts like hell as he slowly opens his eyes and finds it gone and with Kriv lying on the ground. In more of a stumble than a purposeful stride, he reaches Kriv's side and casts a healing spell on the Dragonborn.

Kalista & Davroar are up
Chandan & Kriv are down
Kriv will be up next round - before any death saves are needed. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 | Jaliera
She is scared by this creature and not sure what she can add that will help. Fortunately Kriv seems to be doing quite well.. at least until it all goes pear-shaped.
Jaliera Con save

The noise is like nothing she has ever heard in this world.. and she hopes never to hear it again. But at the end she is still standing. She moves to help Davroar with Kriv. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | DM
The banshee is gone. She took the comb. Two members of the team are down and the survivors have been harmed by the wail. Davroar rushes over to Kriv and tries to cure him. It takes a moment, but he opens his eyes. Outside the lair, Chandan is lying on the ground, a small pool of blood is forming where his head meets the dirt. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 | Kriv
The Dragonborn slowly focused on the Druid, then gradually raised himself up, gingerly.
"You know, I'm giving serious consideration to favouring your method for dealing with the undead."
He reached around for his fallen journal, smoothed the pages and quickly made true the root of his provocative question, filling in the incomplete commentary before adding in the words seared into his brain at eldritch, near-fatal volume.

Her head still ringing from the Banshee's Wail, she see Kriv sit up, but notes Chandan is still lying on the ground, apparently unconscious.
"Davroar, can you look at Chandan. I'll try to keep a lookout for anything else coming, though an elefant could sneak up on me right now and I'd not hear it." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 | Jaliera
She had not been aware of the impact of the screech on those outside of the dwelling but a screech that loud and angry was bound to penetrate. She rushes outside to see how bad the situation is. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 | Davroar
He gives a quick smile at Kriv's comment on the undead, but does not want to say anything more just in case the banshee is nearby. Instead, he only says, "Good to see you're up..."
Then with Kallista mentioning Chandan is hurt too, he stands up and says, "Thanks Kallista, I'll see what I can do."
Back outside, his head clears up a little as he heads over to where Chandan has fallen and casts another healing spell on the old man.

He blinks and stares up at the young druid, Davroar, whose head is framed by the dappled light through the leaves above.
It's true that Chandan did have a drink from his new wineskin, after the others had entered the banshee's lair. That's the last thing he remembers....
Sitting up, the monk winces and groans, his head sore, and glances at the wineskin.
"Holy cow, that is some strong drink!" He gasps.
Clambering to his feet, Chandan pats Davroar on the shoulder.
"How are you?" | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 | Davroar
"I feel like someone's stuck a pine tree through my ear and shaken it. Other than that, I'm good."
Davroar will offer his hand to help Chandan stand up if he wants it. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | DM
It would seem that there is no more to gain here as both missions were completed - although at a temporary price. Banshees are a dangerous foe, and Agatha will continue to haunt this place.
Now the party needs to decide where to go next. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,061 Likes: 9 Wobbly Headed Administrator | | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,061 Likes: 9 | Chandan
Thanking Davroar for the helping hand, Chandan shuffles on his feet, looking around for his rusty old spear. Upon finding it, he picks it up with a loud cracking of his back.
"That undead was lot more lively than me!"
When the others appear, the monk suggests a next move.
"While we're here in the east hills, might as well go see the Red Wizard if we have his answer.
"But still we are no closer to Cragmaw Castle."
| | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 | Jaliera
She had been hovering nearby, concerned for their fallen comrade.
"Well one encounter here was definitely enough for me. And yes Cragmaw is our ultimate goal but we still need to revisit the wizard and collect the potions from the druid. I wouldn't want to head for the castle without them." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 | Kriv
He tucked away his journal, and nodded agreement with Jaliera.
"In terms of our intermediate objectives, we have what we came for. Perhaps I could have asked for Cragmaw's location as well, but there was no indication she knew of it, and pressing our luck further..."
He left that unsaid.
"So, double back to the red wizard. Do we have any other likely targets around here?" | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,500 Likes: 57 | Jaliera
"Not here no. Apart from a few loose ends in town, the next thing would be to find Reidoth the druid. He is supposed to be in the ruins of Thundertree and knows a lot about the area." | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,284 | Davroar
"I did try to send a message to Reidoth two nights ago, and told him we would be heading to Old Owl Well. I was hoping he might have been there when we first got there..."
Then of course meeting up with the red wizard got them moving immediately to here instead. Davroar thinks if there is still no word or sign from Reidoth when they get back to Old Owl Well, then more than likely his message never made it to him. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,061 Likes: 9 Wobbly Headed Administrator | | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,061 Likes: 9 | Chandan
"You did well to get the information you did." Chandan says to Kriv, pausing to ponder before continuing, "A phantom like her is probably bound to this place anyway. Little chance she even remember where Phandelin is, let alone Cragmaw."
The bedraggled monk looks around the gloomy forest. He'll be glad to be gone from it.
"Come. Let's walk back to the road. From there, Old Owl Well."
Chandan starts humming a prayer in his native tongue.
From what he can gather, Davroar had saved him and Kriv... again. Chandan sings for the blessings of the Lords of Karma, to be speedy in their rewarding of the druid.
But the Dragonborn had also shown that there were virtues to having a reptilian mind, whilst Jaliera and Kallista had stood tall against the dread magic that had felled the rest of the party.
Much to be thankful for! | | |
