Chapter 1: Hollows Last Hope

[Lucian]

Lucian focuses his next Ignition on the fetish attacking Toryn. Repeating his incantations, he caused another burst of fire to erupt around the fetish.  Then refocused his shield. 

Action 1 and 2 - Ranged Spell Attack on Fetish attacking Toryn. Casts Cantrip Ignition.
Action 3 - Casts the cantrip Shield to gain a +1 to AC and the Block Reaction with shield 5

Ignition (Attack): 1d20+7 = 16 - Possible hit if damaged.
Ignition (Fire Damage): 2d4 = 5

[Harley the Barbarian]

Damned enchanters and hags, Harley snarled, even as regained her composure and stepped forward into the fight, swinging the maul with brutal anger at the fetish. 

Action 1: Stepping back into the fight
Action 2: Strike
Strike: 1d20+6 21
Damage: 1d12+2 7 (-2) 5
Action 3: Strike
Strike: 1d20+6 13

Missing wildly with her second strike, she begins yelling obscenities.

[Satoru Hanzo]

Satoru grunts at the same time Arielle does, as she takes two vicious strikes to her stomach. He coughs up a bit of blood, feeling his body react to the punishment she takes. Whoever said this was a smart plan…I hope they’ve learned their lesson. Then a soothing light fills his body, knitting broken organs whole and restoring proper blood flow. He breathes deeply and lets it out in a grateful sigh as he looks at Larz’s still-outstretched hand above him. Wiping the blood from his lips, he smiles and says a very genuine “Thanks” to him. Then he turns his attention back to the matter at hand. Once again, he points his hand at his Companion and shares a weave of primal armor around her as she similarly casts another spell herself, lifting that same gnarly, amber-studded arm and swiping it at the fetish before her. Initially, he can see she is about to miss, so he murmurs some encouragement to her and she changes her angle at the last moment.

Actions:
Action 1: Act Together
Action 2: Satoru casts Protect Companion
Action 3: Arielle casts Gouging Claw

Hero point used to roll again. 17 to-hit, 9 damage, plus 2 persistent minus hardness.

[DM Dread]

Larz seeing Satori is injured as Arielle's attacked surmises that they are linked somehow and calls upon Trudd, The Dwarven God of Strength and Bravery and sends a pulse of positive energy into The Kitsune that in turn also passes through their living conduit back to the Winged Fey companion. The wounds they obtained vanish before the healing of Larz. He then looks around and raises his shield in case he is attacked.

Breezy squirms and wiggles in pain trying to get loose from the lid of the malign pot to no avail, finally he pulls his morningstar and smacks the side of the cauldron feebly. 

Bolstered by the aid of the others Harley steps forward swinging her Maul and breaking a large chunk of wood off  the animated Fetish. She swung a second time and because of the success of her first strike it looked like the pile of wood was more vulnerable and she smashed it into kindling cussing at it as it fell.

Oriana was prepared to blast the Fetish attacking Arielle until she saw Harley smash into so much kindling and turned to fire off another icy blast at the one that had struck Toryn a second ago.  Such was the force of her gale of ice the creature almost fell over....its bark stripped from its animated body. Then she looked at the doorway, knowing she had to go inside next and hefted her shield in preparation.

Toryn gleefully pulled his other blade and went into a complex feint and strike routine slipping through the defenses of the creature and watching it fall apart after being blasted by Oriana.

Satoru felt the warmth of the positive energy increase his bodies natural healing far beyond the normal until he and because of the link they shared, Arielle could only see pink skin, totally bereft of any wounds, where once he was bleeding. he saw Harley destroy the fetish that had assaulted Arielle and then saw Toryn finish off the other and held off attacking with the magical gouging claw, but instead sent a mental summons to Arielle to get back to his side, as he still mentally boosted her defenses.

The Cauldron tilted backwards and looked for all the world like it was swallowing, but how could an animated pot have that look....and down went Breezy into the depths of the pot, disappearing within its maw. The fire inside beginning to burn the slight leshy.  It then tried to bite at Dunndero with its lid and 'bit' his hand trying to hold the pot in place, bruising the bartenders fingers. its shifted to its right preparing to exit after dealing with the invaders inside the cottage.

gunting Dunndero grimaces thgrough the pain and almost let go, but managed to fight through it to reaffirm his grip on the Cauldron, making it easier to hit. He banged on the side of it to no avail as he couldnt bring enough force to damage the hard cast iron. He knew he had to get Breezy out from inside though.

Lucian seeing no Fetish to damage looked around quickly and saw there were no others animated and took a few steps forward but raising his shield of force to insure he could block any attack that came. He could hear Breezy's screams from inside.

[Dunndero]

Seeing Breezy plucked out of the maw of the cauldron by Larz, encourages the enraged Dunndero and He hollers, "yer aboot to be turned into tea cups, yo stinkin pig pot!" as he tightens his hold on the lid with his large bony scared ham handed fist trying to hold its maw closed so it can't bite down on anyone. Dunnsero sees Oriana's critical attack leave the cauldron ɓroken, as she blasts it with freezing water, causing its side to visible crack. He then swings his axe at the cauldron's weakened side with a solid thump that causes his axe to bite deeply, and tries to swing his axe at the cauldron's side a second time just hitting it once again, but not quit as soldidly, as he so focused on maintaining his hold on its lid. I got a hold of the darn piss pot, It's cracked wide open, flatten the damned thing!", Dunndero shouts to his allies.

[Brilliant Breeze]

Breezy not enjoying the heat or sensation of being in a giant metal pot. First casts healing on itself. Feeling the healing energy wash over itself helps for a bit. Then knowing it should get out tries to force its way out of the pot. However the heat was wilting Breezy and he tried in vain to push his way out.



Actions 
1-2: Cast Healing Healing 1d8+8=16
3: Escape attempt (Critically failed last escape attempt i can't this time roll realized after here is my off by one failure anyway lol)

[Toryn Togglebit]

Toryn saw Dunndero wrestling with what appeared to be an animated cauldron, with a highly panicked Breezy desperately trying to escape its mouth. The gnome stared at his shortswords and concluded that trying to stab a cast iron cookware would only serve to dull the blades and annoy the pot. Instead he focused the ambient primal energies around him into a mote of good luck and willed the magic to flow into Breezy. He also kept a vigilant eye trained towards the fallen tree to where the reptilian tracks led; hopefully there weren't any more unexpected guests prowling about.

Action 1: Stride
Action 2: Casting Guidance on Breezy (+1 to next attack, perception, save, or skill check until Toryn's next turn)
Action 3: Seek (scanning for creatures towards the fallen tree. Perception +5)

[Larz Oathtaker]

The dwarf having scanned the area and knowing there are no threats outside says Enemies inside as he turns heading back into the cabin. Rushing up the steps Larz pauses in the open door way, looking. Around the huge orc he sees the pot its bottom glowing red while the lid snaps like a living creatures mouth. When he sees the little Leshi inside the pot, he responds without a thought, stepping around Dundero and moves alongside the pot. He notices that with Dundero gappling the pot its movements are slowed. He waits timing the snaps of the lid and times his strike perfectly, as he drives his hand into the pot and grabs breeze, You'll not be havin any greens today.  The seering heat inside burns the flesh of his arm, with a growl of pain the jerks the leshi free form the caldrons open maw. I gotcha liitle feller.



Actions
1st move
2nd move
3rd athletics check (grab and pull leshi from caldron DC18)

(D20 roll 15+4=19) Leshi free hurray!

[Lucian]

Lucian's heart dropped as he heard Breezy scream from inside the house.  He jerked his head toward the house to see the Cauldron trying to snack on the little guy.  There was only one spell he could use that wouldn't accidently hurt Breezy, but might damage the animated pot. He focused his hands together into a diamond sign and in a forceful tone, "VIS!" Glowing bolts of glowing energy dart from his hands and one by one smash into the cauldron.
