Azy session 16 April 2021

Car left with Gahl (repair shop owner) for repairs, she goes to Guitar Center with Girthor (Ranger) and Quele (13 yr old bard) Mission - Clear Belleville of as many gnolls as they can, but first, get Quele a new instrument as hers was smashed in their previous scuffle.

At an abandoned Guitar Center, they see a green butt disappear into the wall, and find a small tunnel leading into the boarded up store. Azy rips her pants loudly, which alerts the critters inside. She pushes food out in front of her before exiting the tunnel. Pointy ears, green body, completely naked goblin, Red scaled skin Kobold, Halfling. They football tackle Quele when she runs incautiously towards guitars. Azy takes another ration and throws it away from Kel to draw goblin, kobold, and halfling away. The goblin goes for the food. Azy goes to pull the kobold and halfling off Kel, sees that Kel is actually laughing, she’s being tickled by them.

Richard the halfling is excited to see them, hasn’t seen people in weeks. Goblin, no name, they can’t understand him. Kobold is called WiFi. Azyria asks how long they’ve been here, they don’t know. She asked if they’re playing instruments, they heard thumping on the way in, Richard says uh yeah of course. They get super excited that Quele plays string instruments. The shop is in super great shape, everything is in good condition. WiFi drags Azy around the store showing off favorite things, with very little common, and Wifi plays guitar (badly). Azy hears “music” from the back, sees Goblin playing tambourine, Wifi playing guitar, Richard on drums. Richard is the only one with good skill.

Quele takes a kazoo, harmonica, and bass. Richard speaks Draconic after sharing space with them. Goblin swings from the ceiling on an iron “vine”, green penis heading for Azy’s face, she Dex saves herself out of the way. The rock band ask them to come back for a visit, shows them spare bedrooms in the practice rooms. They go to leave, goblin latches on to Gunthors leg.

Walking into Belleville IL, they see 5 feet tall, a few 15-20 feet tall iron spikes, jutting out from the ground like they grew out, not like they were placed in. They cluster most heavily towards the hospital. Hyenas all around, scurrying towards something. 9 ft tall barbed spiked wall with rotting body parts running North-South for miles on Frank Scott Pkwy West. On top of the Memorial Hospital Belleville, a smoke signal tower, with hyenas rushing towards it. They can't see over the wall, so they go to the Taco Bell to the WEST to see over the wall to see what’s going on.

The gnolls are feeding the hyenas human body parts, like it’s a hyena feeding sanctuary. Some of the parts are still wearing clothes. There seems to be 8-10 gnolls, around 40 hyenas, but not entirely sure because they are moving in and out of the building. Azy can’t find a spot that they’re more isolated, the hospital is the base of operations, which is weird for gnolls. The intrepid crew head to the AutoZone across the street to look for explosives/flammable items. They find enough to create “a pretty huge boom” (per Da’Jon James, DM).

They set up all the explosives in front of the AutoZone, go back to the Taco Bell roof. The gang of 3 looks for a way to block the ladder from attack, but can’t find anything. They shoot an arrow set on fire at the pile of gas, oil, etc. Using the bow makes Azy feel comfort, like she’s at home. The pile explodes like a “mini atomic bomb” (DM). Gnolls and hyenas come out from behind the fence to investigate the flaming AutoZone. The plan is to shoot while the gnolls backs are turned, and drop flat behind the lip of the roof when not shooting. Quele will do her best to be inspiring.

BATTLE!

Azy Init - chooses closest gnolls, as none seem to be bigger or leader. Shoots w Boneshot and special arrow. She thinks about her special arrow, it comes out of the bone bow itself as she’s pulling the string back. 11 pts damage, 10 pts psychic damage from special arrow embedded in the chest of the shot gnoll, burrowing into the chest of its victim. She casts Hex using a Diamond, the fire makes its way to the gnoll, then drops behind the roof wall.

Girthor shoots, drops behind wall.

Gnolls split up and start searching

Quele uses kazoo to play battle charge music, which gives bardic inspiration, but is also loud enough to be heard by others. She casts Enhance Ability on Azy “Cats Grace”, won’t take damage if jumping off the building.

2

Azy - honks about peeking over ladder to see if gnolls are coming, but they’re not there yet because they can’t go 90 ft in one turn. Stands up to move her Hex, sees 4 spears flying at her, gnolls held their action until they saw her. All 4 miss due to disadvantage. Azy sees 10 gnolls, moves Hex to the closest gnoll, uses special arrow to shoot, misses her shot, / Uses bardic inspiration to save the shot. 7dmg, 7psychic damage, 6 hex dmg- the Taco Bell shadow attacks the gnoll. The creature that was in her dream last night starts pulling the string of the soul and now it’s almost dead. Drops prone.

Girthor shoots the same gnoll drops prone, it dies and Azy gets her special arrow back.

Gnolls do something they can’t see.

Quele casts Bardic Inspo on Azy again, stays prone.

The arrow burrows into the gnoll and out the left eyeball, gnoll dead, she gets her arrow charge back. Drops prone.

Hears claws on metal, the sound of hyena cries. A gnoll head pops over the ladder.

Kel can’t use held action due concentration, casts Vicious Mockery. Gnoll dies from his momma being mocked so hard.

Gnoll x2 makes it to the roof. Gnoll 1 bites her face, 4pts damage for Azy.

5

Azy - nasty ass gnoll in her face breathing all stinky on her. Casts Armor of Agathys, bits of the bone from her bow separate and start climbing up her arm and turn into a layer of spiky bone armor in 3 seconds. Moves hex to the gnoll in front of her. A few of the bone shards jump to gnoll and start burrowing in due to the hex.

Girthor shoot, misses.

Quele casts Cure Wounds - gains 10 hp for Azy. Scurries behind Azy and Girthor.

Gnolls - spear throwers are climbing building now. Gnoll in front of Azy goes right and holds action, gnoll off left attacks, gnoll that was behind attacks as well. Bone armor attacks the biting gnoll, jutting out of its face, does damage. Climbing gnoll throws a spear, misses.

Gnolls in front move to L and R of Azy, one more comes up the ladder, more are coming from afar.

Azy - flanking the L gnoll w Quele. Insight - Gnolls don’t usually hold the actions to flank, these aren’t acting normally, and they’re only attacking Azy.
