Session 7:
Bregwald and the knight step back from the pile of rubble, bones and corpses, they continue on down the corridor.
The two adventurers first check the door to the left.
Oracle: What kind of door is it?
Door Features (d20): 19 - Reinforced
They come to a thick, oaken door that is reinforced with bars of black metal. Rust has begun to devour the iron strips that run across it. Strange etchings are engraved into the wood.
The two using all of their strength decide to kick down the door.
STR Check (d20 advantage): 2 - Success
+25 XP
The door flies off the hinges and falls into the shadows of the adjoining chamber.
Oracle: What type of room is it?
Area Shape (d20): 16 - Custom Shape
Area Content (d100): 31 - Monster
What kind of monster?
Graveyard Monstrosities - Vermis (d12): 8 - Ghost mother (With Newborn)
Bregwald steps first into the chamber, it is uncomfortably still in there. In the centre is a decorated iron fence that runs its way around a white marble sarcophagus. Sculpted in the old marble is the likeness of a young woman holding her newborn child. They enter further into the chamber, the crying of a woman starts to echo around the old stone walls.
Appearing in the centre of the room, floating above the sarcophagus, is the shimmering mirage of a woman in a white dress. Holding a newborn baby in her arms, her cries grow louder.
Oracle: Is the ghost angered by our presence?
Yes/No (d6): 2 - Yes
The crying continues to grow louder, until it turns to screams, joined also now by the wailing of the infant.
Saving throw vs Spells (d20): 13 - Fail
Bregwald and the knight are struck with terror by the tortured shrieks of the undead, they turn and flee from the room.
Oracle: Does the ghost pursue them?
Yes/No: 5 - No
The two once again reach the corridor, the cacophonous cries of the undead subside. They agree not to enter the room again, lest they invoke the wrath of the ungodly presence they had just escaped.
They instead decide to try the door that had previously sat to the Mad Bones' right.
Oracle: What kind of door is it?
Door Features (d20): 9 - Damaged
An aged, withered, door lies before them, multiple slats have already crumbled and fallen to the ground. Bregwald peers between them to see what lies beyond before entering.
Oracle: What type of room is it?
Area Shape (d20): 15 - Custom Shape
Area Content (d100): 35 - Monster
What kind of monster?
Graveyard Monstrosities - Vermis (d12): 2 - Mad Bones
Beyond the door lies a room with three pillars that are supporting a vaulted ceiling. Stood in the center of the pillars is yet another looming skeleton holding a giant club. Lining the edge of the room are multiple stone caskets.
The two agree that if Bregwald can strike the skeleton as he had with the previous one, then it will surely fall, he only needs the opportunity.
Bregwald passes his torch to the knight and creeps into the chamber amongst the shadows.
DEX check (d20): 1 - Success
He makes his way into the chamber completely unnoticed by the Mad Bones and lies waiting in the shadows, ready for the knight to enter and distract it.
The knight bursts into the chamber, ready face the Mad Bones head on. Its bones begin to creak and the undead terror strides through the darkness of the crypt towards the knight, flailing its giant club around its head.
COMBAT:
Mad Bones HP (2d8): 10
Damage : 1d8
AC: 13
ATK Bonus: +2
Knight HP (1d8): 3
Damage: 1d8 (Broad sword)
AC: 15
ATK Bonus: +2
The flailing club grinds across the floor as it swings across and up towards the knight (d20 + 2 ATK bonus):
14 - Miss
But it narrowly misses, smashing the old door behind the knight into the corridor.
Bregwald seizes his opportunity and emerges from the shadows bringing his mighty mace hurtling towards the mad Bones (d20 +1 ATK bonus, +1 STR, +2 attack from behind):
13 - Hit
Damage (1d8 +1 STR): 3
A violent crash echoes around the chamber as the mace smashes into the giant skeleton, it drops to one knee.
As the skeleton drops, the knight swipes his sword at its giant skull (d20 +2 ATK bonus):
18 - Hit
Damage (1d8): 2 (Mad Bones only takes 1 due to resitance to edged weapons)
The blade slashes across the skull, cracking the jaw, but the Mad Bones seems largely unfazed and once again stands tall, looming over the knight.
The violent tower of bones stands above the knight and brings its club crashing down from a great height (d20 +2 ATK bonus):
5 - Miss
But once again misses, caving in part of the stone wall beside where the old doorway had previously stood.
As the skeleton lurches trying to lift its great club from the rubble, Bregwald launches himself at the blasphemous terror and brings his mace smashing at the back of its skull (d20 +1 ATK bonus, +1 STR, +2 attack from behind):
12 - Miss
But now he misses, swinging into thin air, he decides to back away slowly, focusing his attention on one of the stone pillars that line the center of the chamber.
Fear starts to take control of the knight as he stands one on with the Mad Bones. Terror-stricken he swings with his sword (d20 +2 ATK bonus):
15 - Hit
Damage (1d8): 2 (Mad Bones only takes 1 due to resistance to edged weapons)
The sword swipes against the ribs of the Mad Bones this time, cracking one in the process, but doing little to stop the oncoming onslaught from the tower of bones.
The Mad Bones lets out an unhallowed hiss and with both hands its club roars down at the knight (d20 +2 ATK bonus):
18 - Hit
Damage (1d8): 7
The club thunders through the shadows and this time finds its mark. The knight hardly has time to cry out in terror as he is hammered violently down into the stone floor. His mangled corpse completely folds upon impact and is left embedded in the dark stone below.
Keen to avoid a similar fate Bregwald settles on a plan to end the skeleton once and for all. He swipes at the crumbling stone column beside him with his mace and tries to push it in the direction of the skeleton.
STR Check (d20): 10 - Success
+25 XP
The stone column begins to crumble and falls down onto the Mad Bones, which lets out one final hiss before both it and the bloody corpse of the knight are crushed beneath the rubble.
+100 XP
Bregwald weeps for his fallen ally, and prays to his god; once again thankful to be alive.
Add 10% extra XP as Bregwald is human.

Session 6:
Bregwald packs the cut of mummified flesh into his pack, and turns to survey the rest of the crypt. His torch flickers over the crumbling, grey stone. He dreads to think what lies beyond the archway into which the giant skeleton had previously fled.
He decides to search the chambers before leaving.
Oracle: What does he find?
Clue Dice Outcomes (d6): 1 - Roll on the Random Secret Discovery Table
Random Secret Discovery (d12): 2 - Friendly NPC
Bregwald continues to search the crypt but to no avail, he decides to avoid searching the archway on his own. Just as he's ready to leave the chamber, the door through which he had entered once again cracks open, a figure enters into the room.
Oracle: What is the NPC's personality like?
NPC Attitude (d12): 4 - Apathetic
NPC Motivation (d12): 4 - Fear
NPC Goals (d12): 9 - Glory
Oracle: What does the NPC talk about?
Verb (d100): 37 - Emphasize
Noun (d100): 18 - Spell
A wandering knight clad in a bascinet and dull chainmail pushes his way into the crypt with his head in his hands, he hardly notices Bregwald. He backs off to the walls and slumps to the ground, mumbling to himself.
Bregwald approaches the knight, who doesn't even look up, and continues to speak to himself. Bregwald asks him what is wrong.
"The mist...the mist...it's going to take us all. Please leave me, I can't bear to be out there for another second. The horror..."
Bregwald tries to convince the knight that sitting around waiting to die isn't an option, and that despite being free from the mist, the crypt certainly isn't a safe space to hide:
CHA check (d20): 7 - Success
+25 XP
The knight ceases his shaking, and stands up, pulling his broadsword from its sheath.
"Thankyou friend, I came to these woods hunting for glory, I don't intend on letting some fog stop me."
The two agree to search deeper into the crypts, hoping to split whatever treasures they may find, and at the very least rid the tomb of some of its hellish inhabitants.
Lead by Bregwald, they step under archway and into the shadows.
Oracle: Are there any doors leading from this chamber?
Yes/No (d6): 2 - Yes
How many? (d4): 2 doorways
Oracle: Is the Mad Bones inside this chamber?
Yes/No (d6): Yes, but...
It stands still in the shadows now, as it waits for our approach.
The torchlight reveals a long corridor, the walls are lined to the ceiling with corpses that lie upon stacked stone platforms. The air is thick with the smell of rot.
Bregwald can see the faint outline of the looming skeleton standing at the end of the hallway, as if it's guarding the two doorways that lie either side of it. He raises his hand to signal to the knight following behind to stop, and surveys the room before going any further.
Bregwald surveys the corridor for anything of use:
WIS check (d20): 1 - Success
+25 XP
Bregwald notices hanging from the ceiling, above the head of the great skeleton, is a large chandelier made of wrought iron; its candles long extinguished.
He picks up a piece of the crumbling masonry lying about the crypt, and throws it at the chandelier:
DEX check (d20): 18 - Fail
He misses by a wide mark, the stone thuds against the ground beside the Mad Bones. The skeleton once again lets out an ear-piercing hiss, raises its mighty club, and charges the two adventurers who both stand ready, weapons drawn.
COMBAT:
Mad Bones HP (2d8): 9
Damage : 1d8 (Club)
AC: 13
ATK Bonus: +2
Knight HP (1d8): 3
Damage: 1d8 (Broad sword)
AC: 15
ATK Bonus: +2
Bregwald and the knight both press in around the skeleton in the narrow corridor.
Bregwald bring his mace crashing against one of the skeletons knees (d20 +1 STR, +1 ATK bonus):
6 - Miss
But the towering mass of bones avoids by turning away, facing towards the knight who swipes at it with his sword (d20 +2 ATK bonus):
13 - Hit
Damage (1d8): 4 (Mad Bones only takes 2 due to being resistant to edged weapons)
The knight's sword scrapes off the skeleton's femur, its giant bones creak as its club comes thundering down upon the knight (d20 + 2 ATK bonus):
7 - Miss
The knight rolls out of the way, the club crashes through a stack of corpses in the wall. A storm of rubble flies into the air as multiple wrecked cadavers tumble to the ground.
Whilst the skeleton is lifting its club from the rubble Bregwald swings his mace at it with all his might (d20 +1 STR, +1 ATK bonus):
19 - Hit
Damage (1d8 + 1 STR): 9
Bregwald's mace smashes through the ungodly fiend, it lets out one last piercing hiss, before the bones tumble in a mess on the ground.
+100 XP
Bregwald and the knight step back before the giant pile of bones and corpses, grateful to still be alive.
Add 10% extra XP as Bregwald is human.

Session 5:
Bregwald steps back from the gorge, and continues his search for an offering. Seeds, berries or even flesh can be a suitable offering to Murgo. The fog presses in around him until many of the trees seem to fade away into the thick smokiness.
Oracle: Do any apparitions appear out of the fog?
Yes/No (d6): 3 - Yes, but...(but not needed)
Oracle: What figure appears from the fog?
Phantom Parade - Vermis (d12): 8 - Woman Vomiting
The sound of someone retching intensifies out from the fog. Bregwald advances towards the sound until the mist pulls back to reveal a young woman, completely naked, her cadaverous body writhing on the floor. Her hands are clutching at the soft earth as she looks up at Bregwald, before retching again, purging the contents of her stomach all over herself and the ground beneath her.
Reaction (2d6): 12 - Very favourable
"Please help me...please end my suffering. I can help you..." the phantom's frail voice cuts through the still murk surrounding them.
Bregwald steps back, not knowing if this is real, scared and confused by the corpse-like figure before him. He turns and runs.
Oracle: Is Bregwald able to escape from the phantom just by running?
Yes/No (unlikely, d6 disadvantage): 2 - Yes
As Bregwald turns from the woman she begins to sob "Please don't leave me... please..." but her cries trail off into the distance as he flees, until eventually nothing can be heard other than the sound of his boots pressing against the forest floor.
+100 XP for surviving an apparition of the fog
Oracle: What does Bregwald come across as he flees?
Nature Descriptors (d20): 12 - Forgotten
Feature Descriptors (d20): 13 - Burial Site
After some time running, the woods open up into a small clearing. Bregwald steps into it and is able to make out the shadow of a building through the fog. He approaches to find a stone crypt, lichen and ivy crawl over the cracks in the long-forgotten masonry. A thick, wooden door is at the front, two decrepit statues of knights holding large swords stand at each side of it.
Oracle: Are there any creatures around the outside of the crypt?
Yes/No (d6): 6 - No and...
Random Event Generator (d20): 4 - Hidden trap activated
Trap Type Table (d12): 8 Cage trap
As Bregwald approaches the crypt, the ground gives way beneath him, revealing a rusty cage beneath the stony ground.
Saving throw vs Death Ray (d20 + DEX bonus): 8 - Fail
Bregwald tumbles down with a pile of rocks until he finds himself in an old rusted cage that was hidden beneath the stony walkway before the crypt.
10ft falling damage (1d6): 2
He hits the cold ground with a thud, the air is forced from his lungs as he wheezes, trying to gather himself.
-2 HP
Oracle: Are there enough rocks that have fallen into the cage for Bregwald to pile them up and climb out?
Yes/No: 2 - Yes
Bregwald stands up and dusts himself off, rubbing at his sore ribs. He piles up the stones that have tumbled into the cage with him, and uses them as a ramp. He claws at the earth above him, and drags himself back onto the ground.
+25 XP for escaping from trap
Oracle: Is the door to the crypt locked?
Yes/No: 5 - No
Bregwald thinks of how he could gather flesh from the crypt as an offering for Murgo, providing the corpses aren't already reduced to bones, or dust. He pulls a torch from his pack, lights it, and presses the door of the crypt open with his thick, fleshy hand.
Oracle: Are there any creatures waiting on the other side of the door?
Yes/No: 5 - No
Oracle: How many sarcophagi are in the room (d6)? 4
The torchlight reveals a dry, dusty chamber, as still and unnerving as the fog that remains outside. Four large stone sarcophagi stand at each corner, adorned with the likeness of knights in full armor, arms crossed across their chest.
Bregwald approaches the one to the left of the door, and begins to pull the cover over onto the floor.
Oracle: Does the sarcophagus contain an enemy?
Yes/No (d6): No but...
Something else enters into the chamber
Graveyard Monstrosities - Vermis (d12): 2 - Mad Bones
The sarcophagus cover crashes to the ground to reveal a preserved corpse within. Bregwald gets ready to cut off some of the mummified flesh when he hears the ominous rattling of giant bones.
A looming, 7ft skeleton stoops down through an archway at the back of the crypt, dragging a wooden club behind it. Bregwalds turns, his torchlight reveals the chilling presence emerging from the shadows.
Bregwald quickly pulls his effigy of Murgo from his pack, and holds it above his head praying to his god, he shouts cryptic enchantments that boom out around the crypt.
Turn Undead vs Skeleton: 16 - Success
The towering mass of bones hisses at him before turning and fleeing back into the shadows, once again stooping under the archway until eventually disappearing completely from sight.
+25 XP for turning undead
Bregwald thanks his god, and wipes the sweat from his brow. He uses his hatchet to hack away some flesh from the mummified corpse that stands rigid within the sarcophagus.
+100 XP for gathering an offering for Murgo
Add 10% extra XP as Bregwald is human.

Session 3:
Bregwald steps back from the effigy, wondering how it could relate to the desecrated shrines that now litter the forest.
He turns round to face the rest of the room.
Oracle: Is the forest doll still there?
Yes/No (d6): 2 - Yes
The shadow of the forest doll still lingers ominously at the other end of the chamber, its rattling breathing echoes around the stone walls.
Oracle: Are there any further exits from the room?
Yes/No (d6): 4 -No, but...
Verb (d100): 50 - Ally
Noun (d100): 60 - Thief
A thin, masked man wielding two daggers emerges from the shadow of the tunnel. His mask portrays a crooked, smiling face.
"Heh heh...I certainly wasn't expecting company. You don't look like one of those damned Oracle cultists, tell you what, help me get rid of our friend here *he nods to the Forest Doll*, and I'll share whatever I find here with you"
Bregwald nods, and the two men approach the Forest Doll, its skeleton of sticks and vines rattling violently the closer they get.
COMBAT:
Forest Doll:
AC: 11
Atk Bonus: +1
HP (d8): 5
Damage: d6 (vines)
The masked thief runs at the Forest Doll shouting "I'll hold the damn thing still, you light it ablaze!"
The masked thief goes to wrestle the Forest Doll (d20 +1 atk bonus): 15 - Success.
Vines are flaring out from the Forest Doll's body, but the thief manages to sidestep them and wrap his hands around its body, holding it in place.
-4 AC to Forest Doll whilst wrestled.
Bregwald goes to plunge his torch into the twisted wooden mass that makes up the Forest Dolls body (d20 +1 atk bonus, +1 strength): 11 - Hit
Oracle: Does this kill the Forest Doll?
Yes/No (likely, d6 advantage): 1 - Yes
+25 XP for killing the Forest Doll
The Forest Doll lets out an unholy scream that violently bounces off the stone walls of the cave around them. It goes up in a ferocious blaze as the thief pushes it away from him. The flaming corpse convulses on the floor, Bregwald covers his to ears to protect them from the unhallowed shrieking. Eventually the screaming subsides and the corpse is reduced to nothing but a smouldering pile of ashes.
The masked thief looks up at Bregwald "Heh hehe...You certainly held up your end of the bargain, now I'll hold up mine, but we ought to be quick"
He wanders over to a stone sarcophagus that sits against the wall behind where the Forest Doll was stood, and starts to push the lid off.
Oracle: What kind of treasure is there?
Item discovery (d12): 4 - Scroll or book
What type of scroll (d100): 02 - Level 1 Cleric spell
What spell (d8): 3 - Detect magic
The huge stone lid drops to the ground to reveal a mummified corpse clutching a scroll, several gold rings around its fingers.
The masked thief shakes his head "How disappointing...I'd hoped for more", he snaps the fingers from the corpse's clutching hands, and empties the rings into a small pouch. "You can take that scroll, I have no use for it, farewell, hopefully we don't meet again...heh heh".
The thief runs off into the darkness of the tunnel from whence he came, his chuckles echoing down through into the chamber. Bregwald takes the scroll and stuffs it into his pack, before turning, ready to leave the cave himself.
+1 Scroll of Detect Magic
After crawling back through the tight tunnel, he once again finds himself at the foot of the waterfall. It is starting to get dark, he decides he better make his way back to the Chapel for the night.
Oracle: Does he encounter anything else on his way back through the woods?
Yes/No: 5 - No
Oracle: Has the weather changed?
Yes/No: 6 - No and... (and not needed in this case)
He trudges his way through the woods, the soft ground begins to become an impassable bog due the endless rain. Mud covers his armour and slows his progress.
Does he get lost due to the difficult terrain:
WIS check (d20): 9 - Success
+25 XP for successfully getting back
Despite it being a battle through endless bog between the whistling trees of the Flutewood, Bregwald eventually finds his way back to his Chapel, and settles down for the night.
He cooks some vegetables in a pot over his fire, puts out his torch, and settles down for the night.
