- DnD Fellowship
- Osiris convinces Theophania to try to cast Sending to Birel to see if he's alive, but it does not go through. Pretty sure that means he's dead.
- They decide to set up a trap for the ghosty in an attic store room with a window to let him in. They take a spare desk and a chair up there which Tiff will sit out while everyone else hides in the hallway.
- They have a few hours until sundown, so Tiff goes to braid some bay branches before they get too dried out, and Osiris goes to the Rites wing to check out her new office and also to look at the bodies of the previous victims of the spirit.
- The claws are deep and seem to have caused necrotic damage. The hands would be very large, larger than Rusty's.
- The office is organized, but contains mostly just records about the recently dead in the city.
- Osiris also talks to at least some of the other Rites wings acolytes, and learns that it's been two days since Birel was lost. And that they are freaked out. And that the spirit can teleport, distance unknown.
- Then she finds Rowan and conveys the plan about the spirit, to keep her fellow Highpriestess informed.
- Tina stays in the Sanctuary to help guard the residents of the temple for the duration of the trap.
- They set the trap and Osiris uses a Leomund's Tiny Hut in the corner to hide everyone except Tiff who has cast Death Ward on herself.
- Finally at 1 AM, the spirit shows up and grabs Tiff while she's sounding out Dwarven words dealing for 18 piercing dmg.
- The spirit is a large creature with arms that nearly reach to the ground and hands the size of dinner plates with long bony claws on the ends of the crooked fingers.
SPIRIT BATTLE
- Lyrielle dives out of the Tiny Hut and moves around to the side of the spirit and misses punching it, then she misses it again and a third time.
- The Spirit squeezes Tiff for 26 piercing dmg, and then swipes up Lyrielle grappling her as well for 21 piercing dmg.
- Osiris casts Freedom of Movement on Tiff and then moves over to the corner opposite where the Spirit has her two friends grappled.
- Rusty moves to flank the Sp with Lyrielle then swings his axe into it for 54 slashing and 5 acid dmg then slices into it again for 27 slashing dmg.
- The Spirit drops Lyrielle then it pulls Tiff in closer and black tendril somewhat reminiscent of the soul-crystal tendrils slapping into Lyrielle, Tiff, and Rusty for 22 necrotic damage. Then it teleports with Tiff and become hidden, though they can hear her muffled
- Raiàn casts Greater Invisibility on Russell and themself then she moves along the wall next to Osiris.
- Russell casts Daylight on one of the tiles in the ceiling filling the room with Bright Daylight.
- Tiff grabs the Spirit holding her and casts Shocking Grasp on it for 19 lightning dmg then wiggles out of it's grip and runs to the other side of the room.
- Lyrielle runs up to the Spirit and punches him for 13 bludgeoning dmg then again for 11 bludgeoning dmg and then misses with her final attack.
- The Spirit tries to move toward the door, but then he runs into Russell, so he then heads towards Rusty taking opportunity attacks from Russell and Lyrielle for 10 slashing and 6 bludgeoning respectively. The Spirit claws Rusty for 23 (11) piercing dmg and Rusty is now grappled.
- Osiris casts Moonbeam in the center of the window and shouts "Someone close the door! Don't let it get away." Then she just runs over to close the door bumping into both the invisible Raiàn and Russell on the way.
- Rusty slices into the Spirit for 55 slashing and 5 acid dmg and then again for 23 slashing dmg and then again for 17 slashing dmg.
- The Spirit tries to escape out the window and takes 20 radiant dmg (Rusty takes 10 also), and the Spirit disintegrates into harmless dust.
END OF BATTLE
- Rusty takes 7 bludgeoning dmg from falling 40 ft. There is now a Rusty shaped indent in the grass of the courtyard.
- Osiris drops Moonbeam and runs over to the window, and Rusty is fine, so she casts Cure Wounds on Tiff for 47 HP.
-4,000 XP for 154,500 XP total ea.
