Episode 84: Red Rural Revelations

Bell's Hells, after fighting and sneaking their way to the center of the Tishtan excavation site, stepped upon the Bloody Bridge and found yourselves transported to the surface of the Red Moon of Ill Omen, Ruidus itself. Upon arriving, you used the still-lingering spell, from Keyleth of the Air Ashari, to transform into mist.
Once you had managed to escape a brief encounter at the center of the receiving encampment on the moon, and managed to evede discovery long enough to escape over the windy and dust-covered landscape.
Upon traveling and traversing to a region that seemed safe, you found a cavern where you could rest and collect your thoughts. Imogen you reached your mind out to try and connect to the weird drawing essence of the very moon that you stand on, and in doing so, you seemed to draw some attention, but learned some very important things.
As you now continue to seek information about what is happening here, what's important about it, who's responsible, and what you can bring back that might offer and advantage to all those that lie in wait on Exandria.
You continued on, through a storm, met some of the local wildlife from a distance, and then settled down in a mountain-nestled village, where it seemed a lot of farmfolk and livestock were being tended to, gathered in a very simple life. Still with a Reiloran presence, some working, some walking with authority. But, here in the shadow, five of your troop have traveled down into one of the little farm sections, an offshoot of the village proper, again to transform back into your physical selves from the mist form within a storage structure of some kind.
Upon nearly completing your structure, your transference, an entity walked in and noticed. About to squeal for a moment, you shouted towards it to stay quiet. Through a brief moment of persuasion, the tension seems to have abated, or not-crossed-over into anything dangerous, as the somewhat-hulking lookking, round-backed, tree trunk-like-armed creature, it's hood pulled up over it's eyes, it's cherub-like cheeks, it's curled, thin, nostril, elephant-type nose that just pushes past the mouth. It looks up at you with dark eyes and is now quivering, asking you in Common,
"What are you doing? Who are you?"

So the legend tells,

the further they delve,

enemies beware,

Bell's Hells are (level) 12.

Of the multiclassed characters:

  • Chetney takes an 11th level in Blood Hunter (https://www.critrolestats.com/levels-chetney) making him (Blood Hunter 11, Rogue 1) granting him an Order Feature:
    At 11th level, you learn to unleash and control more of the beast within. You can use your Hybrid Transformation feature twice, regaining all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. Your hybrid form also gains the following additional benefit.
    Lycan Regeneration At the start of each of your turns when you have at least 1 hit point but fewer hit points than half your hit point maximum, you gain hit points equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). If you are in hybrid form, you gain these hit points before you must make the saving throw for your bloodlust.
  • Laudna takes a 9th level in Sorcerer (https://www.critrolestats.com/levels-laudna) making her (Sorceror 9, Warlock 3) granting a 5th level spell slot and another at (Sorceror 10) on top of the Metamagic ability.
  • Fearne takes a third level of Rogue with a subclass of Arcane Trickster (https://www.critrolestats.com/levels-fearne) making her (Druid 9, Rogue 3) Arcane Trickster granting disguise self, mage hand, and 2 first level spell slots

And The Rest Here on Gilligan's Island

  • FCG takes another cleric level just like Ashton + Ability Score Improvement and Proficiency Verstility, next level (13) in cleric grants a 7th level spell slot.
  • Orym stays single class (fighter) ASI and PV. But his health jumped A BUNCH. Why? Tough feat and rolled high on hp (7 on a d8)
