Behind the Scenes: Day 24 Dice Rolls

The Show-runner

Because, of course, Daphne had to ask for something interesting to happen, the town the date is occurring in happens to be hit with a kraken attack. Let’s start with the first couple of monster blocks:

Drowned Kraken Minion (Level 2 Monster)

HP: 45

Armor: 0

Bottom Treader: It’s undead. It can’t swim, but can trundle along just fine along the bottom.

Bound Together: The minions serve as eyes and ears for the kraken. All minions can communicate with each other and with it’s kraken as long as it is within 1 mile of it.

Undead Fortitude: If it hits 0 HP, it can make an Endurance saving throw (unless it hits 0 HP from either a critical hit or radiant damage). If it succeeds, she drops to 1 HP instead. Each time it uses this feature, it gains 1 level of disadvantage on subsequent saving throws.

Multiattack: The minion makes two rusty sword attacks.

Rusty Sword: The minion attempts to cut the target.

• Full success: 3 slashing damage
• Partial success: 1 slashing damage OR give a chance to free dodge as a “double or nothin’”
• Fail: miss

Kraken Priest (Level 5 Monster)

HP: 75

Armor: 0

Amphibious: The priest can breathe air and water.

Innate Spellcasting: The priest can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

• At will: Command, Create or Destroy Water
• 3/day each: Control Water, Darkness, Water Breathing, Water Walk
• 1/day each: Call Lightning, Evard’s Black Tentacles

Thunderous Touch: The priest casts Shocking Grasp on steroids. +1 to hit.

• Full success: 25 lightning damage.
• Partial success: 12 lightning damage OR give a chance to free dodge as a “double or nothin’”
• Fail: miss

Voice of the Kraken (1/rest): The speaks words straight from the kraken it serves. Every target that can hear the speech within 300 ft must succeed on a Intelligence saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. Targets can repeat the saving throw upon the end of their turn.

Encounter 1: 12 minions, attacking an orphanage. First 2 rounds are just Aelene and Daphne, since Honey needs to level-up.

Round 1:

Aelene: bonus action, reflection up to block a minion, move to block another, action: triple swipe, 12, 16, 14, one minion ded, Minion A HP left: 3, disadvantage on counter (headless), no damage

Daphne: Chain Lightning, SP left: 48, targeting 4 minions approaching, Minion B HP left: 5, C and D HP left: 25, one dodges

Minions (11 left): Moves forward

Round 2:

Daphne: Catapult at B, SP left: 47, 7 on positioning, advantage to dodge, B dodged, E def doesn’t, crit fail, E HP left: 21

Round 4:

Aelene: move reflection and self to engage the remaining 2 minions, triple swipe, 14, 9, 13, both dead

Encounter 2A: Shore.

Kraken Priest with several more minions, mostly engaged with town guard. Aelene needs to swap to the mundane double-bladed scimitar, due to no time to reset the vorpal one. Losing the heavy damage on crit may make this more interesting. I quickly stopped bothering to roll attacks on Aelene (and never bothered rolling for Honey). Again, 4 armor + ignore crit is too much for the level 2 dudes to handle and Honey’s got a hovering flying speed (and paralyzed the one foe that could hit her in the air round 1), so, yeah, this is really a matter of how many they can kill before Harper finishes off the kraken (see below)

Round 1:

Aelene: 12, E fails undead thing, E ded.

Encounter 2B: Kraken Fight over the ocean.

For the Kraken itself, I did all of the modifications in my head. A CR 23 monster has an obnoxiously large stat block. At least I didn’t have to worry about lair actions. Also, this was very stupid. Don’t try to kill a kraken as a duo of Tier 3 players. Harper’s sword is way out of balance (in a fun way). This shouldn’t of worked.
