The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
Link to previous thread.
Through Peter's eyes she traveled fast through the corridors of the castle, descending down into the laboratory. Immediately Alifa spotted Dethera snoring on a desk, evidently having stayed up late, and Kathleyîënis wielding a new bow experimentally shooting a target crudely drawn on the wall.
The bow looked made out of bone, rivulets of blood -probably Boots'- running over it. When Kat drew the string an arrow formed from the blood with a sparkly tip and, as she hit the wall, there was a brief spark of light while the arrow lodged itself into the stone wall without an issue.

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
Kat yelped feeling something suddenly on her shoulder- turning rapidly, she sighed relieved seeing it was Peter doing his spider dance and waved with a finger.
"New bow works. Is Alifa awake?" she asked, while Dethera stirred in her sleep mumbling something that sounded like whining.

Kat smiled and nodded, taking the time to throw a blanket on Dethera before leaving.
"Is she in her room?" Kathleyîënis asked taking the stairs, evidently heading to meet the sisters.

Kat entered and waved.
"Bow seems to work. I didn't get a choice on the design" she said, showing the bone-and-blood bow to the sisters "Taddeus said that when you're ready to go outside, he'll find us"

"Mmm I'm not ready." Boots tightened her grip on Alifa and closed her eyes again.
Alifa chuckled and then vanished, reappearing by Kat's side.
"Come on, Boots. It's time to be big ol' heroes together."
Boots groaned and sat up, looking for her clothes and armor. Alifa also started armoring up.Spoiler: Check Out my Writing!

After she was dressed and armored up, Boots led the way down while Alifa gave Peter the kind of kisses you only give someone who did a very good job and is very important to you, right on his crab head.
"Hi girl," Boots said, stroking Tilly. "Did any undead bother you tonight?"Spoiler: Check Out my Writing!

Spoiler: OocOh, for some reason I had forgotten he was a crab.
Still a lot of limbs.
Peter did what he could with his pincers to hug Alifa.
Tilly shook her head and licked Boots' cheek.
All good! The skeleton even tried feeding me! It wasn't anything I eat though.
Fog soon descended on them- it gathered and formed Taddeus' figure.
"Good morning princesses and Kathleyîënis! I, Taddeus Parsimmon Vassimius Emerhet the III, hope you have had a pleasant sleep!"

Tilly melted the goodberry with her acid, then licked it up.
"Like a corpse!" Taddeus smiled and showed a symbol- it was a small badge with a bat motif.
"One of you take this- if we get separated you can use it to prove you're working for one of the Vassals, the Vampire one. Which is not strictly true, but nobody needs to know that"

"I have my own, thank you either way though. Kathleyîënis, you can mount with me if you want" Taddeus clapped his hands, his zombie horse walking over for him to mount on.
"I'll take the Phantom Steed" Kat immediately replied. Taddeus didn't look too put out though.

Alifa generated an aberrant steed. This one was mostly just a horse, though it had eight legs that fazed into each other and its eyes leaked red ink.

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
Kat concluded that as far as creepy mounts go perhaps the Steed was worse.
Riding fast, moving through a couple villages within Taddeus' lands Boots and Alifa saw that every guard was some kind of undead, meanwhile mostly living beings actually inhabitated the settlements. In the late afternoon the four crossed the border, and as they came to one of the villages within the Phantom Vassal's land they found a lively place, where living and ghosts mingled happily.
The weird thing was, Boots couldn't feel those ghosts through her Divine Sense.

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
"What do you mean? Of course they are undead" Taddeus said, then frowned and stopped.
"These people don't have blood"
Now that they were deeper in it also jumped to mind that nobody was reacting to their presence.
Kat took up her bow and shot an arrow in front of the feet of a person, but there was still no reaction.
"I think they might be fake"

The ball passed right through the person, making the image shimmer and vanish- all of a sudden, Boots felt the presence of undeads rapidly advancing from beneath their feet.

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
Spoiler: OocHonestly, I rule it that you can't know their location without spending an action- but you're always aware of their presence. If an undead were to Hide you would need the action to find it, for example.
Oh and yeah, Initiative. You can have the Spirit Guardians already up as Boots had the time to spring to action.
Ghost group A (1d20+4)[5]
Ghost group B (1d20+4)[21]

Taddeus who has boosted dexterity because vampire (1d20+4)[18]
Each group is five ghosts.
"They're attacking us so you're allowed to strike them down" Taddeus announced gravely "Cannot knock out a ghost, anyway"

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
"Then let’s."
Spoiler
I believe you are first.
Hm, thinking of Elementals and Short rest slots:
How do you feel about, in the future, Alifa keeping an Elemental around over travel and resting while the spell is active?
Or is that stretching "rest" too far?

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
As the ghosts came up -white, ethereal creatures that look like people whose legs vanish past the knees- several of them plunged their hands right into them, draining their inner life force.
Spoiler: Ooc
First off, (5d20)[13][2][10][16][14](55)+1 against Boots' Spirit Guardians.
Secondly, it's two slam attacks each.
On Boots:
(1d20+7)[13] (1d10+4)[13] necrotic damage if it hits
(1d20+7)[25] (1d10+4)[13]
On Alifa:
(1d20+7)[24] (1d10+4)[14]
(1d20+7)[27] (1d10+4)[9]
On Kat:
(1d20+7)[21] (1d10+4)[6]
(1d20+7)[9] (1d10+4)[14]
On Taddeus (he's resistant to necrotic):
(1d20+7)[17] (1d10+4)[11]
(1d20+7)[12] (1d10+4)[12]
On Tilly:
(1d20+7)[19] (1d10+4)[7]
(1d20+7)[14] (1d10+4)[8]
Taddeus hissed and mumbled "My spells are not a good loadout against groups of ghosts" and from the shadow cast by his enormous hat he weaved a sword of darkness, that he stabbed in the ghost attacking him.
Spoiler: OocTaddeus attacks!
(1d20+8)[11] adv. (1d20+8)[26] (2d8+4)[11]
(1d20+8)[25] adv. (1d20+8)[12] (2d8+4)[20]
Psychic damage so it's halved. Aaaand it's Boots.

Re: The Sisters' Chronicles Thread 2: Nobody likes Abadaius
Kat ducked between blows, taking distance before aiming her new bow at the one Boots had injured the most.
Spoiler: OocYou bloodied the one that failed its save and Kat after Cunning Disengaging and getting 30 feet away will shoot it.
(1d20+7)[18] (1d8+4)[9]+(4d6)[15]+(1d8)[1]
The last 1d8 is radiant 'cause she channels Boots' blood.
Speaking of which, radiant? You can see they are vulnerable to it.
It's Alifa.

Alifa nodded understanding, but this looked like something her sister could manage, so she simply vanished and reappeared in a sea of screams, moving away as she blasted.
