DM_tzivos
as you walk inside, you can hear some noises coming from what sounds like the basement
sounds like footsteps, clanking, and grunts
Matine_Etwaul
I carefully descend the stairs.
DM_tzivos
roll stealth
Matine_Etwaul

@Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+1) [16+1] : {17}
DM_tzivos
you manage to quietly tip-toe down the stairs leading to the basement and find the passage to your lab open. In the opening, you can see what looks like some kind of impish creature jittering about
Matine_Etwaul
Can I get more precise info?
DM_tzivos
the secret passage leading to your second lab has been found, somehow, and an impish creature with a seemingly glossy wooden texture is standing slightly in the passage, jittering and mumbling
Matine_Etwaul
I step out into the open so that it can see me.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing there?"
DM_tzivos
the imp spins around and looks at you in bewilderment before just as quickly making more grunting noises and nasty faces at you
you can hear more footsteps
while the wooden imp continues to mock you, two more show up behind it
one is wrapped in bandages and gauze like a shitty mummy costume
the other is sporting a majestic pair of wings and a feline face
roll initiative

(1d20+1) [10+1] : {11}
DM_tzivos
you go first
Matine_Etwaul
I throw a couple of fireballs at the imp closest to me

second fireball hits
Matine_Etwaul
!roll 1d4+1
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d4+1) [1+1] : {2}
DM_tzivos
the fireball arcs through the air and hits the wooden imp directly, but its tougher than it looks. The glossy wood it's made out of absorbs the impact of the fireball and leaves the imp relatively unharmed
Matine_Etwaul
That's it for me.
DM_tzivos
the feline imp runs ahead of its friends and swipes at you

take 3 damage
DM_tzivos
it's bandaged friend follows closely behind it and also takes a swipe at you

!roll 1d4
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d4) [4] : {4}
DM_tzivos
it's shitty mummy bandages pack a bigger wallop than you'd think they would, and you're smacked silly by them
take 4 damage
the wooden imp just stands back and makes more faces at you
your turn
Matine_Etwaul
Everyone is all in a group, so it's as good a time as any to use breathe flames.

Matine_Etwaul
fuck
well everyone takes 1 damage at least
DM_tzivos
the feline and bandaged imps are lightly burned, and that's it
Matine_Etwaul
End Turn.
DM_tzivos
the feline imp takes another swipe with a devilish grin on its face

take 4 damage
its bandaged friend tries slapping you again
!roll 1d20+1
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+1) [3+1] : {4}
DM_tzivos
yet it misses and gets wrapped in its own bandages like an idiot
and the wooden imp continues to taunt you like an asshole
your turn
Matine_Etwaul
I apply a bounty mark on the cat imp.
Then I fire off two fireballs at it.
!roll 2#1d20+5
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [4+5] : {9} (1d20+5) [6+5] : {11}
DM_tzivos
both fireballs miss the feline imp as it ducks and weaves around them
Matine_Etwaul
: (
I retreat a bit up the stairs
Then that's it.
DM_tzivos
the feline imp follows you closely with another attack
!roll 1d20
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d20) [7] : {7}
DM_tzivos
but it misses and smacks the stairs
the bandaged imp tries to follow but trips at the bottom of the stairs on its loose bandages it wrapped around itself
the wooden imp doesn't appear to be following its friends
your turn
Matine_Etwaul
I do the breathe fire thing again.
!roll 1d20+5
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [1+5] : {6}
Matine_Etwaul
gdi
DM_tzivos
the attack misses the feline imp by a mile and you feel your lungs burn ever so slightly
take 1 damage
Matine_Etwaul
Well that's all I can do, so
End turn.
DM_tzivos
the feline imp lets out a cocky chortle before going in for another attack
!roll 1d20
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d20) [6] : {6}
DM_tzivos
but it wiffs and smacks the floor again, hurting it's widdle paws
the bandage imp, in its stupidity, continues tripping up each individual stair on more and more bandages
the wood imp is nowhere to be seen right now
your turn
Matine_Etwaul
All is fireballs. So I fire off more at the only enemy who appears to actually be dangerous.
!roll 2#1d20+5 at the cat

!roll 1d4+1
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d4+1) [2+1] : {3}
DM_tzivos
the fireball lands directly on the feline imp's chest, setting it ablaze for a split instant. It looks visibly injured
Matine_Etwaul
End Turn.
DM_tzivos
The feline imp looks mad while it swipes at you

DM_tzivos
!roll 1d4
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d4) [4] : {4}
DM_tzivos
its anger turns to motivation as its claws leave a shallow cut on your torso
take 4 damage
the bandage imp has stopped for a moment and is re-wrapping itself in more bandages
your turn
Matine_Etwaul
I do the thing where I shoot fireballs at the cat!imp.

@Tyche[Dice]
(1d4+1) [3+1] : {4}
DM_tzivos
the fireball hits hard, and the feline imp staggers as it's fur/feathers become further charred
it looks really beat up
Matine_Etwaul
Even so, I retreat further up the stairs.
End Turn.
DM_tzivos
the feline imp runs up in another attempt to swipe at you

DM_tzivos
the bandage imp finally catches up to its friend, having finished re-wrapping itself, and sees what happened to its feathery bro

take 1 damage

Matine_Etwaul
I scramble further up the stairs and fire off yet more fireballs.
!roll 2#1d20+5

Matine_Etwaul
!roll 1d4+1
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d4+1) [1+1] : {2}
DM_tzivos
the fireball arcs gracefully through the air, almost in slow motion, before landing squarely on the feline imp's head. As the fireball makes contact, the imp explodes into fruit gushers
Matine_Etwaul
Well that's *something.*
I continue my ascent up the stairs as I watch for any imps preparing to murder me.
DM_tzivos
you reach the top of the stairs and are now standing in the entrance foyer
the bandage imp runs forward to avenge its fallen friend and swipes at you

DM_tzivos
the fireball zooms forward and smacks the bandaged imp in the face, sending it staggering. It looks severely injured
Matine_Etwaul
End turn.
DM_tzivos
the bandaged imp takes off its bandages and starts wrapping them around its wounds
!roll 1d6-1
@Tyche[Dice]
(1d6+-1) [1+-1] : {0}
DM_tzivos

DM_tzivos
the fireball and imp both explode in a bright burst of colorful fruit gushers and embers
Matine_Etwaul
yay
I look around to see if the final imp is anywhere nearby.
DM_tzivos
the wood imp is still in the basement
Matine_Etwaul
Okay. I stay where I am and prepare to light 'em up if they come into sight.
And that's it.
DM_tzivos
nothing happens because the wood imp remains in the basement. However, you begin to hear some feint *clanking* noises coming from the basement
Matine_Etwaul
oh god
I sneak down the staircase to see what it could be.
DM_tzivos
sneaking down the stairs, the *clanking* noises become louder, but the wood imp remains out of sight. it appears it ran into your lab while its friends dealt with you
Matine_Etwaul
Oh my god that is not good.
I don't really want to get into another fight, but I REALLY don't want anyone messing around in that room.
I sneak in to see what's going on in the lab.
DM_tzivos
roll stealth

DM_tzivos
you manage to stay quiet enough to avoid being noticed by the imp as you sneak in
the wooden imp is just playing around with scalpels and other medical tools, it seems
Matine_Etwaul
I decide to set the little guy on fire.
Matine_Etwaul

DM_tzivos

Matine_Etwaul
Well that's in.
I watch and wait to see its reaction/
DM_tzivos
The wooden imp notices it's suddenly on fire and begins to panic and flail its arms around
