Session 17 in Rise of the Runelords in 5e


The group went into the Barn wanting to end this with the obese half-ogre sorceress that almost killed them the first foray into the farmstead, revenge is what fueled the group now.
 Charles and Toucan lead the way and killed to penned up hounds that they fought before, no other soul was present, 3 doors faced them now. Two are on raised platforms 15 feet above the floor.

Charles rips one of the doors open, hanging on one hinge the other door is thrust open, waiting a few seconds as the room beyond is filled with spider webs of large size, out of one of the web tunnels a horse sized spider lurches out at Charles!



The upper doors are opened and three half-ogre brutes come out peppering the party with ranged attacks in the form of javelins thrown from the upper levels.

Tamar moves forward as Shalelu begins firing at the giant spider but first drops a hunter's mark on said spider, Ulgar summons a giant octopus and a Deinonychus to push the half-ogres of the platforms, Mama starts casting spells and immediately Toucan disengages to go after Mama.
 
  





Mama gets forced back as one of her sons has to push past her to stop the monk from getting to her, she worries and casts cloud kill forcing the group to fall back out of the barn, in her next round after the cloud dissipates in the clean wooded air she casts Bigby's hand to enter the the fight.
The group falls back from that deadly cloud kill, Tamar enters the barn after the cloud moves and Charles goes screaming through the barn and leaping up and over and on to the catwalk, by now the Deinonychus engages Mama. 






She is getting assaulted on all sides, arrows from the Ranger, a summoned monster from the Druid, the Barbarian and Monk coming towards her from the other side and the Cleric casting a spell, she once again opens Dimension door and gets killed while stepping through the door to safety by the summoned creature.

Toucan and Charles find three prisoners in a holding cell at the back of the barn, freeing them they come to learn that these are Rangers from Fort Rannick, Jakardos Sovark, Vale Temros and Kaven Windstrike.
Shalelu begins crying as she recognizes one of the Rangers, her step father Jakardos
"why, did you abandon us at crying leaf?" she questioned.
