Private Notes
- The wooden doors burst open with the sound of crackling electricity in the air. One of the skaven screams "YES, YES. KILL! Kill!" INITIATIVE!!!
- The Doom Wheel immediately begins charging toward us, targets Rory with a lightning attack, and is able to move through our squares. It deals damage as it passes through us.
- And it has legendary resistances!
- And legendary actions! The skaven piloting this wheel tries to sweep Rory off his feet.
- As the wheel takes off into the huge cavernous room, Rory takes flight while Hasted and takes off after it. He reaches it and tries to knock the skaven out of the wheel, but is unable to do so this turn.
- As Rory is chasing the wheel, he hears the falling and shifting of stone. He looks around and sees about TWO DOZEN more skaven appear on the mesas on the edges of the cavernous room.
- The skaven on the Doom Wheel uses a Legendary Action to order all skaven within 120' of him to move toward Rory and attack him. Luckily most miss. That could've been really bad.
- Rory maneuvers strategically to align himself with a row of enemies and chucks his Javelin of Lightning through them and at the Doom Wheel, hitting it and dealing damage to everything in its path. He then breathes fire on the skaven in the same row, taking them all out. It's a start!
- Freya casts an effective Fireball into the room, taking out four or five more of the little rat men.
- The Doom Wheel moves in range of his skaven buddies and once again orders them all to move toward and attack Rory using its Commander of the Vermintide legendary action. Rory's in for it again!
- Kemurial enters the fray just as Rory retreats to Friar Karl in hopes of getting a heal. Luckily Friar Karl obliges.
- Kemurial uses his robe's ability to cast Scintillating Colors and stuns most of the skaven in the central part of the room, which significantly helps us turn the tide against the skaven!
- Rory flies back into the fight with renewed vigor and takes out both snipers and one of their shield skaven.
- Rory then flies back to the Doom Wheel and once again tries to wrest control of the wheel from the skaven. He almost succeeds, the but the pilot skaven uses another Legendary Resistance to barely hang on to the controls.
- Freya attempts to Polymorph the pilot skaven into, ironically, a regular rat, and it starts to shift into its new form, but it retains its form as it uses a third Legendary Resistance to resist the change. One of us is bound to take control of this wheel!
- Apparently the pilot only has three Legendary Resistances. Kemurial casts Toll the Dead on him and he does NOT have the ability to resist it! With it, he does some good damage to the skaven.
- Seeing his opportunity, Rory tries once again to knock this skaven out of the driver's seat... AND SUCCEEDS! Finally! The driver is knocked prone next to the machine. Rory makes an attack at him and then yells at the group that he's got him prone on the ground and someone should come try to take control of this machine. I really hope that one of the PCs is able to control this thing because that would just be tons of fun!
- On his next turn, Kemurial approaches the vehicle and attempts to control it, but unfortunately is unable to fully and competently do so. However, he causes the vehicle to fire a bolt of lightning, hitting the Polymorphed rat rat, causing him to revert to his regular rat form. Kemurial continues to try to figure out how to control the vehicle.
- Rory gets a good crit on the warlord, then finishes him off by knocking him upward in the air, and accidentally grazing the button/lever that fires a lightning bolt, hitting the skaven mid-air. He falls smoking and sizzling to the ground. Combat over.
- Kemurial takes a moment to orient himself to the Doom Wheel's controls, and is able to figure out how to drive it! Vroom vroom, baby!
- We take some time to search the bodies before taking a short rest.
- TSRGBU.
- Kemurial lectures Rory on sticking with the group so we can make plans of attack in situations like this where enemies take off instead of chasing after them. Rory takes note of his concerns, apologizes and says that he didn't know there'd suddenly be a bajillion skaven around the corner soon.
That's it for this session!
