Murder on the Xiang-Sei Express

2015-08-14T05:27:03Z

Marek:

The Airship The Xian Express is having some personnel problems. Most notably, personnel keeps going missing en route to Xiang-Sei. One of the deckhands and then the galley cook on the return voyage to Alexandria. They went missing over the Desolation, and so Captain Cyrus contracted the Guild and now you find yourselves standing watch, ready to discover what is happening to crewmembers and protect the eastbound passengers.

The past few days have been uneventful, if bland since a new cook hasn't been found and the crewman filling in doesn't understand the concept of seasoning, but the Desolation stretches out below as far as the eye can see, the dim light that makes it through the gauntlet of overcast storm clouds retreating quickly with the setting of the sun. You all find yourselves on the deck atop the forecastle, bathed in the blue glow of the mana lamps, ready to discuss a plan to defend against further attack and catch the murderer.

As long as the food is plentiful Yngvild doesn't seem too worried about the quality. She is clad in her full armor, masive earthbreaker slung over her back. Her eyes remain fixed on the vast spread out before them, hands resting on the railing as she leans to get a better look outwards for a moment.

Tiasa doesn't mind guard duty, it is somethng she does well, the fact they are on an airship, now that does cause some problems but she has made the best of it. She looks ready for a fight but then the Sith always looks ready.

Schneider has been seasoning his food himself in any event, and so has been enjoying meals as far as possble. He's here because it's got a pretty good view of the whole ship, at least as far as being able to see people being pitched over the side. Well, since the victims weren't found .... "We've ruled out them being kidnapped by teleportation, yes?" he checks. "Other than that, I guess make sure no one's alone at any time."

Kira isn't a cook by trade, but she doesn't mind helping the interim cook if need be. When she's not on guard duty, of course. When out on the deck, she enjoys the grand views as much as she can... even if some of the scenery below isn't very cheerful. Schneider's question makes her lips purse. "Where would they go if they left the ship? How? How would someone come aboard to take them? It's very strange. Teleportation seems a good thing to check for."

Tiasa shrugs, "Pirates, another airship, griffon, there are ways to fly and get up here and get someone off." she says and shakes her head a bit, she doesn't like all that magic stuff sometimes.

"Not sure that we have?" Yngvild rumbles in response to Schneider, metal clattering as the large Aesir shrugs her shoulders. She glances back to the group then down along the airship as her lips purse in thought "Better at hitting things than mysteries" she admits with a short bark of laughter.

Schneider nods at Tiasa's suggestions. "Other airships close enough to move passengers across would probably get noticed. Griffons, though, might be able to slip aboard unnoticed," he agrees. The spell of Flying isn't too complicated, either." He can only shrug to Yngvild, though he smirks about mysteries.

Captain Cyrus agrees with Schneider if the issue is brought up, and arranges for the five passengers to share a room. Three are a Xian merchant family returning home after conducting some business dealings, while the remaining two are a married couple of minor Rosalian nobility that on are vacation, so it's not hard to talk them into sharing rooms if they weren't already.

A search for any sort of teleportation or illusions to hide the presence of stowaways turns up nothing, unless it's spices (irony), fine wine, or textiles that are the culprits. It's down to just waiting for the killer to return, and thus patrolling. The storm isn't making it any better, dropping thick sheets of rain down on the deck along with the occasional flash of lighting in the distance. Luckily, the ship has warding against lighting strikes, though the front row seat is something of a spectacle, perhaps even an omen for the more religious among you. Aside from the rain, thunder, and hum of the engines, it's quiet....too quiet.

You paged (Tiasa, Kira) with 'You two are out taking shelter from the rain under an awning that covers the staircase down to the lower deck when you hear what sounds like glass breaking down below. It sounds like it's came from one of the passenger quarters.'

Schneider is ... less affected by the rain than most, the water ... avoiding him, it would seem. He's never more than slightly damp even in the worst of the donwpour, and the water seems to fear him, leaping away before it can land on him. He likes the lighting, and laughs a little disturbingly at some of the closer strikes. He'll walk up and back through the crew spaces with the others, mainly concerned about crewmen being alone, since it's been crew rather than passengers as the victims so far.

Cold, rain and wind don't seem to bother Yngvild much. By Stormgarde standards it is almost summery. Never one much for stealth she stomps along, humming battle songs tunelessly.

Tiasa cocks her head to the side, "There is something downstairs, sounds off, should there be glass breaking?" she asks as she looks towards the others.

Schneider says, "Glass breaking? Let us investigate! It could be a broken mirror, but it could also be something nefarious!" He sounds excited by the idea of something nefarious, and urges Tiasa, "Lead on, if you heard where it came from.""

Yngvild cracks her neck from side to side and reaches back to unsling her hammer. Nodding to Tiasa and motions her and Kira onwards "Didn't hear much myself..." she begins in her low rumble "...so lead on?"

Tiasa does move down bellow heading for where she heard the noise. She flexes her hands, "Not a lot of room down here." she murmers to herself.

Heading below deck to investigate, you have three options. The crew quarters, which has curtains and a couple of sleeping and off-duty crew trading rum and stories, then the Xian family. A knock on their door prompts a bit of shuffling on the other side and the patriarch opening the door and answering sleepily in broken Tradespeak. A quick inspection turns up nothing. But the Rosalian couple has no answer when they knock and the door does not open, even with the key provided by the captain. The rustle of blankets and sheets can be faintly heard...

Kira apologizes to those they woke or disturbed in their investigation, but it's good to know that all are well. Ok, most are well. When the Selentians' door doesn't open, Kira does the next logical thing. She knocks. "Hello?! Is everything and everyone alright in there? "

No answer from the couple...

Tiasa cocks her head to the side, "Do I break it down?" she asks as she looks at the others and then back trying the door again.

Schneider has to duck for the doorways, leaning forward as he goes through. Drawing his sword, flames flick up and down the blade, seeming to coat it in a liquidy fashion, though the fire goes out when bits of flame drip from the blade. He follows in silence until they are met by a door that does not open. A small ball of fire appears in his hand and he asks the others, "Shall I open the door?" The door may or may not survive this.

Yngvild holds up both hands as fire comes out "Woah, think a little lad" the cleric rumbles to Schneider "Varnished wood, well up in the air and fire. Not a good combination" she says carefully "Lets put it away before we end up dead. Odds are they are just fucking anyway. But still" she moves towards the door and pulls out a rather non-flaming hammer.

Kira frowns. "I heard something," she says softly, "but I'm not sure what..." When Yngvild gives her suggestion, Kira's cheeks go aflame almost as bright as Schneider's hand. "Um... I don't think it was... They could still answer when I called... We should check on them!"

Tiasa nods and starts trying the door a little more seeing if it could easily be forced open.

Schneider /likes/ fire, though. He gives Yngvild a hurt look, but does not set anything ablaze for the moment. To the door, he calls out, "Say if you're both OK and we'll move on. We thought we heard something amiss," he further explains.

Yngvild's deep laughter is decidedly dirty as the large Aesir glances over and down to Kira "If it's any good they might not hear, or not want to answer" she says with a smile to match her wicked chuckle. This fades soon to a serious look as she lifts her loud voice "OPEN OR WE ARE COMMING IN." Her bellow is enough to shake the timbers around the small party as she lifts her hammer ready to smash the door down if needed.

The door opens just a little, but some unseen barricade is holding it closed. But a flash of lightning gives true indication of danger as it throws shadows across the wall, in particular the silhouette of the wife, suspended in the air, limbs dangling limply. With all doubt of danger tossed aside, the door is knocked down easily enough, shattering the chair propped under the door in the process. The husband, a stocky older gentleman with a bear like frame lunges wildly at the first person through the door with a blank face while the wife lies motionless on her glass and rain covered bed, the porthole nearby shattered inward and now playing escape route to a viridian vapor that is draining away out of the ship.

GAME: Kira rolls knowledge/religion: (8)+9: 17

You paged (Yngvild, Kira) with 'Yep, that's a vampire!'

Tiasa moves in after forcing the door open and there is the husband, she slams into him with her shoulder, knocking him into the wall where he slumps down. She looks towards the vapor, growling a bit.

When the door is opened, Schneider is at the ready with his number-one spell. Pointing to the misty form fleeing out the window, he calls out, "Guns and Roses!" and launches a tiny rose of fire out the window towards the vapor, where it explodes with a thunderous report. That will leave a mark.

"Fuckin vampires" Yngvild mutters as she steps in and notices fang marks and vapor. Lifting her earthbreaker as high as she can in the cabin she bellows "IRON MOUNTAIN WITNESS" she bellows then slams the butt of the haft down into the wooden deck. A bright blue light flares out to illuminate the room and hopefully scorch the undead.

The fireball almost blasts back into the cabin through the porthole it goes off so closely, but Schneider's savant sorcery keeps that from happening. The mist is engulfed in flame and then in holy light, both burning. Once your eyes adjust to the light and fire, you see nothing at first, but a crack of lightning lights the sky up again, revealing a gigantic bat, smoldering and with holes in it's membranous wings, flapping wildly in the distance, towards a small singular mountain miles away, far beyond the immediate reach of most spells and it's doubtful that what is available could fell it before it escaped. So you turn your attentions to the aftermath of the attack.

The victimized couple are dead and enthralled respectively. Perhaps mercifully for the moment that he doesn't release that his wife of thirty years is gone. But daylight is but a few hours away and the vampire could not have gone far. Especially considering that a survey of the area under the brief flashes of light that the storm provide shows a series of canyons and valleys, the bottom of which have turned into raging floodwater rivers, which leaves the mountain. Faced with little other prospects, Cyrus stops the ship and brings it as close as possible to the base of the mountain, where an old shattered road from decades or centuries past lies in ruin, leading up the desolate peak. A basket ride down is uneventful at least, the sunrise streaming through the last of the storm clouds. The road leads up to a path that winds up the mountain. An old Charnese mile marker lays discards, it's words washed away by the years.

A few hours of walking finnaly leads to the end of the path, a pair of worked stone bridges that span a large chasm that the sun nor darkvision can reach the bottom of, with a stone platform at the other end, then a large stone staircase that is flanked on either side by two columns that are topped with stone statues of (presumably) Charnese warriors, their features lost to weathering. At the top of the staircase is another stone platform that is worked into the side of the mountain face which is carved with faded bas relief sculptures, a set of aged bronze double doors at the very back.

It is silent as a tomb, which is appropriate given that you are probably about to walk into one.

<OOC> Brandimus says, "http://i.imgur.com/qL5QbuJ.jpg

When things in the cabin have cleared up a bit, Schneider rushes to the window, to see if he can see the fleeing villain at all. And for another fireball, if possible, though he doesn't seem too positive that there will be a chance for that. Well, this is a canny villain. The flames on Schneider's greatsword lick brightly as he smiles a malevolent smile, half-illuminating his features in a fearsome way. Spotting that the enemy too far away, he says slowly, "Oh, the hunt is on now. The hunt is very on."

Yngvild heads to the porthole, a prayer forming on her lips before the vampire gets out of range. Shaking her head she looks back to the room "Laddy you ever set off fire in a wooden ship again I will ram this hammer so far up inside you that Angoron himself will have trouble removing it" the scion of a sailing nation rumbles to Schneider. Once the landing takes place her usual good humor seems restored and she trudges along the path cheerfully enough despite the weather and what they are going to be fighting.

Tiasa looks around and nods, "At least off the ship and can go hunting now." she growls a bit and then stretches some as they move up the path.

Kira can only imagine what the husband will feel when the control is gone. She spends the trip to the mountain doing what she can to soothe him, enthralled or not. When they find the likely lair and are lowered, she at least has the consolation of knowing that no others will be harmed. "The ship can go on if it needs to, without worry of any more attacks or disappearances. Has anyone confronted a vampire before?" She thinks it's a good question to ask, and isn't afraid to ask it.

Schneider shakes his head about vampires. "Not me," he says. "But have no fear. I will burn it's unlife away!" He raises his sword and the flames along the blade surge higher. "They, er, do burn, yeah?" he checks cluelessly.

"Angoron bear witness. Bless us as we battle the unholy" Yngvild calls out in prayer, although not quite as loudly as usual. A blue glow emanates from her eyes and ungulds the party around her. With that she nods to the stairway "Well it ain't going to kill itself" she ventures towards the more warrior looking folks to proceed.

Schneider mumbles another spell. It seems like his blood surges beneath his skin for a moment, then all is calm again. He nods to Yngvild, then will march forward, lighting the way with his blazing greatsword.

GAME: Yngvild casts Bull's Strength. Caster Level: 7 DC: 16

Tiasa as she gets a blessing frm another that makes her stronger, she looks at the others, "Do not...get upset." her form starts to blur and elongates as she shifts into a large lizard, well not large large but large for a lizard, still medium sized but with wicked looking claws and sharp teeth. She surges forward with the others.

Schneider casts another spell, and a shimmering force appears in front of him. He peers at Tiasa's change, but has no clever retort for that, so says nothing.

GAME: Schneider casts Shield. Caster Level: 7 DC: 14

As the front of the marching order approaches the ancient staircase, there is a series of clicks, a not-so-subtle vibrations in the platform you walk upon, and dust geysers out of the seams as old mechanisms begin to move after gods know how long. The two bridges fall away, the iron-reinforced stone slabs retracting on both ends to strand you here. Simultaneously, panels in the columns and the bas relief-covered walls slide away, and six skeletons step out, dressed in ceremonial robes. Their exposed bones are covered in intricate copper wire and leather bindings, acting as both decoration and armor. The curved blades they wield are quite functional, however, the front two carrying tower shields and scimitars, the next row guisarmes, and two that stand above all at the top of the stairs with bows and quivers full of arrows. With eerily synchronicity, the skeletal guardians assume formation and ready their arms...

Kira watches at others prepare for the expected confrontation. She has no magic to incant, armor to adjust, nor weapon to ready, so is as prepared as she will be. She didn't expect the bridge to retract behind them, though, and the emerging skeletons probably aren't here to welcome politely.

The skeletons are fast to act, but hesitate. They move into position with the shield-bearers at the bottom of the stairs and the polearm wielding warriors just behind them. The archers nock arrows and draw their bows back, waiting for something apparently. While two more skeletons emerge, wearing black robes and holding scrolls. They stand to either side of the archers and open the scrolls, reciting the incantations of a shielding spell to match Schneiders, their unholy voices full of malice and reverb.

Schneider has one solution for every problem, and he applies it here with every indication of being pleased with himself. "Guns and Roses!" he chants, and points his blade, and is immedately shot with arrows. He sputters, and a flame leaps from his blade about two feat and poofs without effect.

Yngvild steps a little foward, leaving room for the melee folks to get past her. She holds her huge earthbreaker up to the heavens as her other hand grasps the smaller symbolic holy symbol around her neck "AGORON WITNESS" she bellows to the heavens. An arrow flies out from the undead and shatter harmlessly against her armored chest "BLESS THE BRAVE AND CURSE THE UNHOLY" she demands. She slams her booted foot down as another wave of blue light sweeps out over the party.

"We need to get past their strong point!" Kira isn't a master tactician, but she knows that much is obvious. She beings a quick sprint for the wall of shields, picking up a great deal of speed very quickly. She steps up the shieldwall like a a springboard to leap over the scimitars and through the long guisarmes behind them. She gets through, but not unscathed. Several, mostly the guisarmes, cut deeply through her robes and into her. But they are surrounded, now! Sort of.

Tiasa roars and seems to grow a bit she inches forward and is a flurry of teeth and claws ripping into one if the aegis pretty good.

The skeletal sorcerers cast aside the disintegrating vellum scrolls and lock their skeletal claws into a readied gesture conducive to quick, reactive spellcasting...

Schneider thinks he has these things figured out now, and begins to cast a spell, and is suddenly sprouting a pair of arrows. That looks painful. Magic fizzles, Schneider fumes.

Yngvild steps foward towards the group blocking the bridge. In one hand she holds her massive earthbreaker aloft, and the other boldly presents a holy symbol "IRON MOUNTAIN WITNESSS" she belows to the heavens above then slams the hammer down. A blaze of bright light burns forth amindst the undead, but they all still seem to be alive. Well upright anyway.

The Lancers turn to face Kira, swiping out with their free claws, achieving nothing. The shield-bearing skeletons duck behind their large tower shields, leaving Tiasa's reptilian form to rage against.

Kira bats aside one swinging claw to grab the wrist and twist the arm a way it can't bend. That forces the lancer in an awkward position. Even if they don't have flesh, they have joints! This leaves one hand free to do the same thing to the other one! If there was one more, it could be a square dance?

The skeletal sorcerers finally lurch into motion once they overcome the debilitating pain of Yngvild's holy energy and take a more proactive stance in this fight. Namely by unleashing a quartet of force darts that slam into the wrestling monk. Meanwhile, the archers nock another set of dusty arrows and take aim at Schneider once more.

Schneider grumbles and breaks off the arrows sticking out of him. He grunts with wild fury and with a loud cry, waves his flaming blade and rushes at the nearest enemy. Just because you've stopped a sorcerer doesn't mean you've stopped a sorcerer! With a brutal swing of his flaming sword, he smashes one of the skeletons.

Considering her usual boisterous bluster Yngvild's ice-blue eyes are thoughtful as they take in the battlefield in one sweep. She purses her lips and raises her hammer again "ANGORON, HEAL THE BRAVE" she bellows in her usual demanding style of prayer. SLAM! The heavy hammer comes down and a blaze of holy blue light radiates from it. This time instead of harming the undead it heals her allies, the blue light focusing on their wounds.

The pinned skeleton struggles feebly against Kira's technique, while the other snakes its hooked polearm down and around Schneider's arm as he follows through with the swing of the blade, pulling him onto the mouldering (now-inert bones) of his defeated enemy. The remaining shield-bearer skeleton wastes no time in hacking a nasty gash across the fiery sorcerers back.

Following the lead of the sorcerers, the archers become more aggressive and fire off two arrows at the priestess of Angoron, but their arrows shatter against her armor. The undead arcanists have a little more luck as another volley of magic missiles blast into Kira.

Schneider gives Yngvild a thumbs-up as he feels her healing taking effect. And now here, in the thick of melee, he's got a bit of cover from the damned archers. Sadly, he's got no cover from the polearm guys, and he gets knocked down hard. He rises up, even though that opens him up for further counterattack, swinging hard at the nearest enemy. He's not feeling any pain at this point, wild with rage. "Take that!" he bellows, swinging his sword with powerful blows as he moves in, and he hacks at the enemy, having much more effect with the sword than he was with magic. Smash!

Again a swift assesing glance of the battlefield. Nodding to herself as she makes up her mind the towering Aesir cleric hefts her hammer to the heavens "ANGORON WITNESS. SMITE THE UNHOLY" she demands, her powerful voice echoing through the cavern. Light flares from her hammer, bathing the undead in a bright and holy glow that sends almost all the remnants down into charred piles of bone "IRON MOUNTAIN!" she yells in praise and triumph.

After the skeletons fall into piles of bones, Kira move to the remaining one with a punch for peace. Unfortunately, between all the bones,shields, swords, and guisarmes on the ground, she slips and almost falls.

GAME: Brandimus rolls 1d20+16: (12)+16: 28

GAME: Brandimus rolls 1d8+15: (5)+15: 20

TiasaSOCKPUPPET takes advantage of the relatively cleared stairs and bounds up them, jumping from the last few steps to the platform the remaining skeleton stands on. If the jaws shattering it's skull didn't kill it, the rest of her bulk slamming it into the wall does the trick.

In the aftermath, the crypt is abandoned. The vampire aggressor took the opportunity to flee through cracks leading to caverns not accessible to the corporeal, but he left behind spoils of his victims as well as the treasures of the ancient Charnese nobility buried there. The ceiling was already starting to collapse in the main hall, so compromising one of the columns led at least to the vampire's safe haven being destroyed. It is not a small victory, but the crew of the Xiang-Sei Express is safe, for now.

Possibly Giants?

2015-07-13T00:19:26Z

Marek:

Plenty of jobs come off the Guild of Explorer's notice board, but this one didn't even make it that far. Each of you, for your own reasons, were in the guildhall when a field hand, no older than 15 winters comes in, describing hedge rows stomped, fences knocked over, crops trampled, cattle mangled in the last week. Heavy summer storms in the area and the rocky, hilly terrain masks most of the tracks, but the consensus among the farming village of Brooksmouth is giants, perhaps some advance guard of Dran or Bludgun readying for an invasion! *gasp* The town pooled it's money for a small, but respectable bounty and sent the boy to post the contract.

First come, first serve and now for love of coin, a sense of duty, or hatred of boredom, you all find yourselves in a steam-driven river skiff heading upriver to the giant-plagued village of Brooksmouth. The summer is in full force and fighting the mosquitos and heat, you all find yourselves on deck with the field hand, who goes by the name of Panzra, willing to answer any questions while he sits in a coil of rope and attempts to sew a patch into one of the tears in a spare shirt with a needle and thread.

Stirling does work for the sake of work... and the coins don't hurt either. He sits on the deck with a dismantled deathray, cleaning the parts along with all kinds of shells and small rockets lying next to him that can be loaded into it. He's preparing his inventory of destruction, he won't be without at least 3 ways to blow something up.

Schneider was at the Guild on a whim; he doesn't normally come there, but it was an amazing chance that he /was/ there, and he decided to take the job because it sounded interesting. He's cool enough despite the heat, because he's just wearing the loincloth, and for some reason, the bugs aren't bothering him at all. The breeze blows back his long hair dramatically. "So, a Dranei advance guard?" he asks by way of question. "Has anyone seen then at all? How many? ANd human, giantborn, or what?"

Sounds like it is Hammer Time. So the rather large cleric of Angoron was happy to volunteer. Yngvild nods to those she knows, which is pretty much just Kroth and casts a look up at the Giantborn. Born to colder climes and in her full plate she does not seem to be enjoying the head, sweat beading on her brow as she clanks towards the rail and hopefully a bit of cool breeze.

"Nope, can't say anybody has. Elkram the town drunk said he saw it carried 4 giant swords, one in each arm! ...but he also said he saw a dragon pooping emeralds in the woods once. It only moves around at night and it's been pretty stormy the last few days, just now drying out. But there are big footprints here and there. The Yulgin brothers turnips and barley crop is half ruined, they might have to sell their extra horse, if any of you want to buy one." Panzra answers in a rather long winded manner as he focuses mostly on his needlework, though he spares plenty of curious looks at Scheider's arsenal and Yngvild's hammer given the chance.

Schneider has only the greatsword at his hip for a weapon, and the strange mask he's wearing, but it is a very cool sword. "No one's actually seen these guys? Well, if it leaves tracks, we can track it." He ahems. "Not me, of course. But lots of people can track stuff...."

Stirling screws one of the four barrels onto his deathray and, carefully reassembling and moving every piece as he does so and finally loads the shells and rockets into his bandolier and belt. "Do we know what kind of giant? Helps to know the best way to take it down." he's treating this like a big game hunt.

Yngvild takes a long swallow from a waterskin, then sprinkles some of her face, pale skin already redenning under the sun's glare. She turns her gaze to the lad and offers a smile that does little to soften the hard lines of her face "How big?" she asks simply in a low rumble of a voice.

Panzra throws his arms open "This big!", letting his arms stretch out to their full length, easily 4 feet (or more) in size. "It was muddy though, so the tracks were pretty mushy. It squished one of Gregor's goats flat in one step, like one of the rats that got caught in the millstone at Alonzos! Splat!" The teen fieldhand seems to be excited by the prospect of a rampaging giant. Then again, Brooksmouth sounds like a fairly boring village. The river skiff runs up the tributaries that feed the main river, then finally to the site of the first attack, a field of turnips and barley that is half-trampled. It seems other parties have become interested, as Dire Wolf is here to investigate the disturbance!

Schneider blinks as they see the dire wolf. "Well, there is your monster right there," he calls out. "They eat horses and farmers," he says knowledgebly as he draws his greatsword. Flame licks up and down the blade as he prepares to cast a spell.

Rampaging creatures in her domain are always a concern to the large wolf. Most carnivores prefer to hunt, to chase. Domesticated livestock offer no challenge. Only the sick or wounded would attack such. Humanoids, however, are another matter entirely. She pads slowly about the area of the attack, nose low to the ground in attempt to catch scents.

Stirling hops off of the ship with his deathray in hand, fully loaded for whatever trouble may come. "Well I take it you can track it then?" he says to Dire wolf "Lets hunt this thing down, think we can keep some of its bones or such to mount on my wall?"

"We think that's a druid. It showed up and started sniffing around this morning, but we aren't going to chance it. I saw it work magic around one of the giant's footprints!" Hulvin the turnip farmer says of the gigantic wolf padding around his crops, his wheelbarrow out to salvage what mangled crops he can for pig feed.

Schneider does a double-take as Stirling addresses the dire wolf. "What is going on here?" he asks sourly as he disembarks. He's watching the wolf warily, still, unsure of its purpose here, even as Hulvin speaks up for it.

GAME: Dire Wolf rolls survival: (10)+16: 26

GAME: Stirling rolls knowledge/arcana: (11)+15: 26

GAME: Schneider rolls knowledge/arcana: (1)+6: 7 (EPIC FAIL)

Dire Wolf lifts her nose to regard Stirling, a familiar face, and others who are not. "I did not do this. It was a humanoid." The words are growled, but intelligible. The speech may also be a reason that the villagers suspected her to be more than she appeared.

You paged Dire Wolf with 'The tracks are big and deep, but the mud has muddled them. You can get the faint scent of barley, tar, and goat's blood. The tracks head toward the river, and you can see the stream bed is muddied up and river stones are shifted, but the scent is gone. It's a matter of up or down stream until you pick the scent up again.'

Schneider nods slowly now to Hulvin. "Yeah, I guess it -is- a druid. They shapeshift, I think...." He has no idea. But. "Anyhow, did you guys find anything?"

You paged Stirling with 'These look too circular to be anything natural. Perhaps some sort of construct or a golem?'

Stirling grumbles as he looks at the track "Looks more like a golem or something... edges are awfully regular." he notes with a grunt. "Either way, it should go down all the same."

Dire Wolf lowers her nose again, and moves to follow the tracks through the mud. She travels to the nearby riverbank where she stops. After peering out over the water for a time, she snorts and looks back to the others. "The creature crossed the river. It reeks of pitch, grains, and the blood of the goats. I can find its trail again on the far bank."

Schneider shrugs as Stirling and the wolf reveal their findings. He gets back in the boat, presumably to cross the river.

A sniff check of the far bank doesn't pick the trail up. It must have walked along the river as a guide or a means to hide it's scent, if it's that smart. So reduced to up or downstream, it looks like upstream it is, since there were no other signs on the way up the river. The river skiff can't go anyther further into the shallow stream, so it's on foot (Though it was unlikely the large lupine would ride in such an artifice driven contraption anyway). The brook is winding, and the scent is picked up, only to fall back to the trail. The smell of goats and grain is accounted for at least, after stopping by a goat ranch with a smashed in fence that is being repaired by the time you gether, plus a barley field that is partially trampled, the thick hedgerow just kicked over like it was a random weed in a person's path.

Dusk approaches, and the scent grows cold at the river, but the last place is to check is Alonzo's mills, a watermill by the river and a windmill up the steep hill nearby. The watermill is churning along just fine, with Alonzo the nearly deaf, stuped old man greeting you at the door after

Panzra fetches him, Given his squinting, his eyesight can't be much better. "Eh? what can I do for you?" Probably best the elderly miller doesn't see the gigantic wolf at his doorstep.

Stirling doesn't pay much attention to the old man, looking around the mill for any clues as to the 'giant' they are tracking. He will leave the talking to others, its not his strong suit.

Dire Wolf is not inclined to travel on the craft, and needed to scent the far bank, regardless. She travelled in parallel. Once the river shrank to brook, it was no inconvenience to pad through the shallow far. Except, perhaps, for those who dislike the smell of wet fur.

When they reach the mill, she is far less interested in the structure or the elderly man than in the grounds surrounding it.

Schneider looks around as we march up here. The wind blows back his hair dramatically (and in opposition to the prevailing breeze) as he looks around. "Well, I don't see anything here," he says in a bored tone. "It hasn't gotten here yet, it seems," he notes, not bothering with the fellow, either.

Alonzo doesn't seem that bothered that nobody is interested in him. He hobbles back inside his home in the rather noisy watermill (which explains the hearing loss) after some limited attempts at communication with a large brass hearing horn before Panzra takes him back inside. The search for further clues turns one up pretty quickly in the dying rays of the sun. An almost washed away set of tracks leading up the hill to the windmill. Almost lost from the run off from the storm, it's there and then another. Spotty, but everything leads up the hill.

By the time you three get near the top, there is some shouting from the bottom of the hill. Hard to see as the light finally dies, but Panzra is approaching at a jog, carrying something large and rectangular in his hands. Meanwhile, the dire wolf gets the smell of barley, blood, and pitch, strong and fresh right around the windmill and the loose shingles that are littered nearby, possibly blown off by the storm?

Dire Wolf's nostrils flare as the familiar scent hits strongly. "It is here, now, or was just!" The shouting causes her ears to rotate and her head to subsequently follow to peer at the one running up the hil after them.

Schneider doesn't really do darkness. He holds his hand up, palm open upwards, and shouts out a couple nonsense words, and fire springs from his hand, as bright as a torch.

GAME: Schneider casts Light. Caster Level: 7 DC: 13

Stirling raises his firearm and points it at the windmill "Approach it... carefully." he says with his deathray pointed at it. "See what the miller wants.." he asks Schneider while his weapon is trained on the building.

Dire Wolf's snap snaps back to the windmill and she begins to closer further. Not directly towards it, but at an oblique arc. The darkness is less hinderance to her, and may be none at all with Schneider's flame offering some light.

Well, not entirely darkness. The moon is big and full tonight, and it's light quickly overpowers the last golden rays slipping over the horizon. The wind begins to kick up suddenly in a gust, sending the arms of the windmill rolling quickly with plenty of creaks and groans of the wood.
Panzra finally catches up with trio, the object he's holding is a thick leatherbound tome. "Alonzo was reading this, it looks magic!" And it does. Ornate scrollwork and runes are embossed on the cover, surrounding a Coyote's head howling at a full moon. The title reads, "The Man from Lamarka."

Schneider sighs at Stirling. He turns back to see what Panzra is hurrying to tell them, his expression put-upon. "What is it?" he asks once he's close enough. He'll take a look at it, and whisper a few words to the spirits.

Stirling comes up behind Schneider, deathray still aimed at the windmill "What is it? Some kind of magic?" he ventures, since thats sort of the standard for large tomes.

GAME: Schneider casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 7 DC: 13

GAME: Stirling rolls spellcraft: (7)+15: 22

<OOC> Rourn says, "It's magical! Or at least it was. A flip of the pages reveals ink that is faded away to be nearly illegable, indicative of scrolls and magical tomes. Stirling? This is a cursed/malfunctioning Golem Manual."

Schneider shrugs to Stirling. "Dunno," he reports. "Nothing I've seen before." He isn't a big reader in any event, so this is all a fuzzy mystery to him. He'll pass it to Stirling if the fellow wants it; Schneider has no interest in it now.

While she can read, the dire wolf leaves the study of books to the others. The scent is strong and her hackles are raised in anticipation as she cautiously tries to circle the windmill at as much distance as the hilltop allows.

Stirling turns pages in the tome. "Gollums... has he been doing what it says in here?" he asks the person who brought the book. "Its... concerning."

That revelation comes as a warning just a few moment too late. The gust of wind dies down, but the creaking and groaning from the windmill does not. The arms spin just as quickly as they did before, but the wooden structure begins to buckle and bend. Under the light of the full moon and given life by a cursed Tarienite golem manual, the building shifts its planks and beams, taking on a roughly humanoid form, towering almost thirty feet tall, the windmill blades turning across it's back still. Despite not having a face, it's limited body language seems to indicate it is cranky that people are around and it takes several lumbering steps from it's foundation, toward the village square of Brooksmouth, down the other side of the hill.

GAME: Schneider rolls 1d20+7: (15)+7: 22

Schneider turns around as the windmill comes to life. Sort of. "Well, I think we've found it, anyhow," he says dryly. He pulls his mask off and says, "Well, let's see how this goes." He hurls the mask at the giant thing, but nothing happens. "Well, crap," he says sourly. "I was looking forward to getting some use out of that."

GAME: Rourn rolls 1d20+14: (3)+14: 17

GAME: Rourn rolls 4d6+8: (14)+8: 22

GAME: You damaged Schneider for 22 points. 48 remaining.

While the mask had no effect, it still had some effect. Which was to draw the walking windmill's ire. With ground shaking thuds, the golem turns and gives Schneider a good kick from the stout wooden round legs that propel it. This has about as much effect as you would imagine, cracking ribs and sending the sorcerer sliding back in the mud several feet from the glancing blow.

GAME: Dire Wolf casts Strong Jaw. Caster Level: 8 DC: 18

Dire Wolf's eyes go wide. Whatever she expected, an entire building coming to life, as it were, was not it. But even buildings are not immutable before Ea. The weather, elements, wild life can all batter it down. She growls and snarls, calling upon the latter. As large as her teeth are, they grow larger, more vicious.

GAME: Stirling casts Shield. Caster Level: 8 DC: 15

Stirling looks up at the monstrosity and grimaces, putting his deathray away he attached a clockwork disc to a socket in the chest of his armor and turns it with three loud clicks, a slight shimmer enveloping his form as he steps up to go toe to toe with the thing.

GAME: Schneider rolls 1d20+7: (13)+7: 20

GAME: Schneider rolls 1d6+4: (5)+4: 9

Schneider grumbles about golems and doesn't bother trying the magic thing on it. "Should have known," he grumbles, backpedalling as he fishes for a javelin in the quiver at his hip. He hurls the javelin, with ignites as it leaves his hand. It thunks home solidly, in the shingles, though ... how do you tell if it was effective? Schneider looks puzzled.

GAME: Rourn rolls 1d20+14: (4)+14: 18

GAME: You damaged Schneider for 18 points. 30 remaining.

GAME: You damaged Stirling for 21 points. 63 remaining.

Now that's it's actually damaged, the animated windmill roars and brings both of it's heavy wooden fists down in Schneider and Stirling's general area, clipping them in the shoulder or showering them with clods of mud and rock as it slams into the dirt.

GAME: Yngvild rolls initiative: Roll: 8 + Bonus: 1 = Total: 9

(Editor's Note - Yngvild joined us late)

The windmill is far larger than the wolf, but she can reduce the difference some, care of her allies the Sith and their wondrous jungles. A snarl turns into a bellow as her form ripples and expands, black heavy hide bursting through white fur that recedes and reforns to bony plates along her spine and wick bone spikes at the end of a heavy tail.

GAME: Stirling rolls 2d6+7+1d6: (6)+7+(1): 14

GAME: Stirling rolls 2d6+7+1d6: (9)+7+(5): 21

Stirling clenches his titanfists tight, furnace on his armor bellowing black smoke into the sky as the power lines to his fists jump with a surge of power. "Come on big boy, let spunch it out." First a frost rimed fist smashes throught the wooden structure followed by the second fost crackling with lightning, knocking boards loose.

GAME: Yngvild rolls 4d8+7: (26)+7: 33

GAME: You damaged Schneider for -33 points. 63 remaining.

"You started without me?" booms Yngvild's voice from behind the group, actually sounding slightly hurt. Her eyes are keen however as they quickly assess the small battlefield, a shaggy brow arising at the animated windmill. Nothing the most wounded she clanks forward and lifts her hammer to the sky "IRON MOUNTAIN BEAR WITNESS" she booms in something more like a demand than a prayer. Still it seems to work as a holy blue light beams down to her hammer and onto her hand. She slaps that down firmly on Schneider's shoulder, then glow gathering around his wounds to sooth and heal them.

GAME: Schneider casts Lightning Bolt. Caster Level: 7 DC: 16

GAME: Rourn rolls 1d20+3: (6)+3: 9

GAME: Schneider rolls 7d6: (31): 31 (+15 for Fire Vulnerability)

Schneider whuffs as he narrowly avoids getting splattered. He's not going to last long at this rate, he decides, and backs off with a hasty, "This is for the birds!" He sighs as he receives the healing, and backs up to get a clear shot. "Balvolo, turnizard... Galbolt!" And so saying, a bolt of fire leaps from his hand and slams into the windmill about halfway up, sending bits and pieces falling all around as it seems to burn it deeply.

GAME: Rourn rolls 4d6+8: (19)+8: 27

GAME: You damaged Stirling for 27 points. 20 remaining.

Fire Bad! Wrong monster, but the windmill, once lit aflame, is in a frenzy. The windmill blades on it's back begin to spin wildly, throwing loose shards of wood and nearby stone flying in a cloud of debris, while it flails it's limbs at it's attackers, most especially at the one that set it aflame. One oaken fist drives the warrior-sorcerer to the ground, while it's mangled leg knocks Stirling around like a ragdoll.

GAME: Stegasaurus rolls melee: (6)+11: 17

Stegasaurus catches all manner of flaming splinters. Twenty tons is not so nimble. With a bellow, the large, viciously-spiked tail is raised up and then brought down heavily... to impact the ground near the flaming windmill thing.

GAME: Stirling rolls melee+1+2: (1)+10+1+2: 14 (EPIC FAIL)

GAME: Stirling rolls melee+1+2: (2)+10+1+2: 15

Stirling wipes blood from his mouth as he returns to his feet from a savage blow and strikes at the target again, whiffing his first swing and following up to get nothing but air. Must have really ratled the Arvek.

GAME: Yngvild rolls 6d6: (18): 18

GAME: You damaged Yngvild for -18 points. 53 remaining.

GAME: You damaged Stegasaurus for -18 points. 46 remaining.

GAME: You damaged Stirling for -18 points. 38 remaining.

GAME: You damaged Schneider for -18 points. 12 remaining.

Yngvild starts to heft her hammer in both hands as if to strike, but then the wrath of the windmill descends upon them all. She hisses in pain and takes a half pace back away "ANGORON HEAL THE BRAVE" she demands firmly to the heavens, her booming voice echoing around. Her booted foot comes down hard on the ground as with a crack of thunder blue light flares out and around the party to heal their wounds.

GAME: Schneider rolls 1d20+7+3: (4)+7+3: 14

GAME: Schneider casts Lightning Bolt. Caster Level: 7 DC: 16

Schneider finds himself regaining consciousness on the ground, and shakes his head to clear it. A cool breeze blows his hair from his face, and he raises one hand. "Balvolo!" He shouts at it, but ducks as part of it moves toward him, and he winds up eating dirt as his spell ... fizzles.

GAME: Rourn rolls 1d20+14: (5)+14: 19

GAME: Rourn rolls 1d20+14: (1)+14: 15 (EPIC FAIL)

The windmill literally windmills as it swings it's limbs around in a violent rage, catching nothing but the thick, bony plates of the stega-druid, but failing to do any real damage as it starts to lose it's footing, it's interior half exposed by the burning bolt and Stirlings hammer-like fists.

GAME: Stegasaurus rolls melee: (6)+11: 17

Stegasaurus pulls her tail spikes free of the dirt and sweeps is sideway in a long arc, turning her body and using her hips. They are not in Landy Sandiel's league, however, and the moving construct is just outside of the swing. Uneth proves unable to hit the broad side of a windmill.

GAME: Stirling rolls melee+1+2: (13)+10+1+2: 26

GAME: Stirling rolls melee+1+2: (18)+10+1+2: 31

GAME: Stirling rolls 2d6+7+1d6: (10)+7+(1): 18

GAME: Stirling rolls 2d6+7+1d6: (3)+7+(4): 14

Stirling spits blood into the mud and swings again at the windmill, he's boxing with a building 2 times his size but he doesn't seem to mind and lands a pair of destructive blows that finaly break the support beams of the windmill and brings it down.

Schneider breathes a sigh if relief as Stirling finally manages to demolish the windmill sufficiently for it to stop attacking. He rises up, and picks up his greatsword, letting the magical breeze that blows back his hair also brush him clean of dirt and muck.

"I was promised giants" Yngvild says, her voice down to it's usual loud volume, not quite booming. She glances over the others carefully, looking for any injuries that need urgent tending. Spying Schneider's cleaning breeze she smiles broadly and shakes her head whilst moving to the wreckage of the windmill "A lesson in why you should not toy with magic" she rumbles as her voice turns more serious.

Stirling runs a flamethrower over the ruins just o be sure. "Missuse of magic is what this is, pitty." he comments as he continues to ensure the absolute desctruction of the remains.

"I think we should take the book to the Elunites" the large Aesir says as she peers suspicously down at it "They are better at dealing with rogue magic than my own order" she adds then picks it up rather gingerly before tucking it away in her pack.

Schneider nods to Stirling as he burns the remains, adding some fire of his own for good measure. He shrugs about the book, and asks, "Can't we just burn it?"

Stegasaurus snorts and crushes a few more cinders beneath her tail and mass. Just to be certain. "We could destroy them all before they do..." Comes the odd, hissed suggestion.

Panzra comes out of hiding in the outhouse (which is a small blessing that the Tarienite Tome didn't animate that as well) nearby, surveying the carnage wrought by building and adventurers. He mutters a few prayers to Althea and Gilead (cause he's unappreciative of Angoron and the Green Word, the little bastard) before running to the town square to tell everybody what happened, those who weren't already watching from a distance when the windmill golem caught fire.

Once everything is sorted out, it turns out that Alonzo had found the book in a locked chest a traveling merchant had sold him. He used the watermill and some chain to break it open, and found all sorts of interesting objects (that will end up in the loot pile along with what the villagers were paying). Fortunately, the magic of the cursed manual seems to have been spent, but probably best to dispose of or store the book safely just in case. Tarienite magic items aren't known for their predictability. But all in all, it's an interesting story at least. Not many adventurers can claim to have bested a building in combat.

Marek:

Be it through Explorer's Guild contacts off the books or through your religious affiliations, the four of you have been invited to a job proposition by one Gregor Wellworth, an elderly diviner of no small repute. For whatever reasons they may be, your acceptance to the invitation brings to you the Wellworth house. Not quite a manor, it straddles the line between the home of a well to do merchant and that of true nobility. In any case, Gregor is a gracious host, if an absentee one. Refreshments of fine wines and liquors are made available by the halfling butler, along with a platter of fine cheeses, fresh bread, and all manner of fruits. Once the formalities are enjoyed or at least endured, the small statured butler leads you to the study, where Gregor awaits.

Once the oaken double doors are closed behind you, the aged wizard speaks up. "Welcome, you've all come highly recommend by your respective faiths and guilds. Take a seat and we can get down to the business at hand." With a wrinkled feeble hand he gestures to the couches and recliners scattered in a rough semicircle around the upholstered rocking chair in which Gregor sits. The ravages of time have struck him particularly hard, leaving him a stooped, white haired shell, yet his bright blue eyes radiate vitality and a youth that is quite a strange juxtaposition.

Corra makes her way in and gives a bit of a nod as she is greeted and smiles softly, "Thank you for the welcome." she says and then moes to find a good place to sit.

Godwyn tugs on the silver rose clasp of her cloak one last time before making her way inside, just as the greeting is delivered. She nods, her features impassive for the time being as she takes a seat, finding one next to Corra. Godwyn turns her head and smiles. "Well what do you know. I tend to run into you a lot, don't I?"

Kojot enjoyed the samplers of cheese, bread, and fruit, although he only had a small glass of a light wine -- bad form to get too tipsy before a job, after all. The half-orc leans on one of the arms of a couch, not exactly sitting but not quite standing, either. "Yes, thanks for the hospitality," he agrees, a hint of a polite smile on his face.

Corra smiles and gets a strange look on her face, "WEll I am really triplets." she says and then giggles, "Just get around a lot." she shakes her head and waits for the others to sit.

Verna is not one to insult hospitatlity, though she limits her acceptance to a few morsels of cheese and bits of fruit. Once their host has arrived, she settles with the others to listen to the expeted proposition.

"I would like you to destroy a devil." Gregor proposes, "One that I shall not name, but a phistophilus. A devil that deals in souls, my own included. 60 years ago, when I was but an apprentice struggling to master the arts, my sight began to fail me. The priests could only remedy the problem for a while, the affliction would return and my sight dimmed. My family was nearly bankrupted trying to save my eyes. I was made an offer by this devil. My sight and family's wealth restored, and a long life for my soul. I was a fool and I signed the contract, damning myself. I've had my sight, I've watched my coffers ebb and flow over the years like the tides of the sea. I've married and buried my beloved wife Yanel, watched my sons and daughters grow old and raise families of their own. I have had a wonderful life by all accounts, but nothing worth an eternity of torment. I come to you without honor to ask you to kill the devil and release me from my contract." His speech over, the withered old man hangs his head in shame and awaits your answer.

Corra cocks her head to the side as she listens and then nods, "I do not see a problem with that, removing such things from existance is almost a duty, they are an affont to the natural world." she says as she looks arund at the others.

Godwyn leans back in her seat for a moment, pondering. "Tell me," she speaks after this silence, "will this kill you?"

Kojot glances at the sheathes on his gauntlets, then shrugs slightly. "Should be an interesting challenge," he notes, a smile starting to quirk across his face. "I'm in."

"Interesting..." Verna absorbs the task and tale. "Why, now, after what seems a strong existence, do you wish to renege on your obligation?"

"Are you asking me why I do not wish to feel the flames of Hell?" Gregor asks, bushy brow rising in curiousity before he looks to Godwyn, "It is quite possible. I will surely lose my sight and most of my fortune, which is while I will pay you before the task is complete. The bridge between my natural years and those provided by this devil are seamless, though these last years are not ones I cherish. I have grown frail and pain is my constant companion and for all I may know, the devil may see fit to give me the infirmities of a human and the lifespan of an elf. I wish to meet my judgement by the content of my heart and not the folly of my youth."

GAME: Godwyn rolls Intelligence+2: (20)+3+2: 25

Gregor's response is acceptable to Verna and her hood dips in a nod. "A worthy desire. I will assist as I am able."

GAME: Verna rolls knowledge/the planes: (20)+8: 28

A nod from Godwyn. "Have you made your peace then? Has anyone redeemed you for your decisions? Because if not, there's no telling where you'll go."

She taps a finger on her chin. "The contract... we have to destroy it. Killing the demon's not enough."

GAME: Corra rolls knowledge/THe planes+1+4: (20)+10+1+4: 35

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You paged (Godwyn, Verna, Corra) with 'Okay, both of you did high enough to get 2 chunks of info, which we'll say you don't know redundant things:

All the basic devil stuff.

They can use contracts as weapons, using them as whips that deliver vicious cuts while entangling those they hit.

Among the magic always available to them is At will—bestow curse (DC 20), detect thoughts (DC 18), dimension door, erase, identify, major image (DC 19), produce flame, sending.

And they are spell resistant and only a blessed weapon will cut them freely (dr/good)

Update for Corra's Info!

They can also call upon these spells 3/Day - 3/day—arcane eye, break enchantment, greater teleport (self plus 50 lbs. of objects only), hold person (DC 19), locate creature, mage's private sanctum, scorching ray, silence (DC 18), vision

And these 1/day—contact other plane, delayed blast fireball (DC 23), dismissal (DC 21), plane shift (DC 23), summon (level 4, 1d6 bearded devils or 1 bone devil 50), symbol of pain (DC 21)

They are exceptionally nimb;e (High Dex).

Very strong willed (High will save)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corra passes on what information that she can remember and seems to be thinking for a moment, considering.

The more knowledgeable members of the group and Gregor compare notes on what is known of this species of Devil and while his information is largely redundant with what the trio of adventurers know, he does happen to know that these devils always carry active contracts on their person. His plan is largely straight forward. Gregor will use an abandoned old dungeon, away from any bystanders to summon and bind the demon known as Sael (Sai-El), use a scroll in his possession to prevent him from fleeing once the circle is broken, and lock the lot of you in the chamber with Sael and you apply violence to solve said problem. Preparations are made and contracts are signed, ironically enough.

Once you are all ready, the plan is carried out. A teleport spell brings you to the dank subterranean stronghold, the remnants of an old fort long forgotten. Still, the underground portions are mostly intact, if infested with rats and the skeletons of orcs slain long ago by the murderhobos before you. Using the last reserves of his physical strength, Gregor stoops to form the summoning and binding circles, stopping to double check his work and correct mistakes from a shaking hand. Once he is finished with the initial preparations in the chamber, he indicates 4 small strong boxes previously dropped off when the new door was put in. Each contains your payment (whatever the treasure roll may be) and he steps inside to finally summon Sael.

The summoning and binding seem to go off without a hitch. The contract devil appears in a flash of sulfurous smoke, smug grin revealing razor sharp teeth framed by rust-colored lips. The dark red devil, who may or may not look suspiciously like Tim Curry with slightly smaller horns from Legend stares at Gregor, perhaps speaking silently in some manner. Sael simply stands and waits, hands behind his back, his robe of vellum scrolls flapping about despite a complete lack of breeze down here. "You know this won't last forever and the contract will be valid, even in this pathetic prison, old wizard." Sael taunts Gregor to his back as he shuffles out of the rectangular stone chamber, producing the key to the iron door and a paper scroll from his robes. "It is time." He murmurs. The diviner reads the scroll, struggling in parts as the magic seems beyond his normal purview, but the entire room flashes with a green light and Sael, catching sight of some of you in the door frame, loses his smirk, yellowed eyes narrowing. It's all up to you, now.

Spells and prayers are chanted in preparation with destroying this unholy barrister. Sael sits in silence while Gregor holds the door, staring down at the mildewed steps lit green by the glow of the extradimensional spells. Once all of you step inside, the elderly diviner struggles to shut the iron door locking it behind him as he awaits what will ultimately decide his eternal fate.

"I SEE THE TIME FOR WORDS ARE OVER," Sael finally speaks up, his words echoing in both your ears and your mind. "AND A SENTINEL NO LESS. MY MASTERS WILL BE PLEASED ONCE I DRAG YOU TO THE DEPTHS, GODWYN." Them's fighting words!

Godwyn's face is resolute.

Oh, no he did not just call her out. Well, if he wants it so badly...

For a moment, she tilts her head to the right, as if he were a curiosity. "So they know me now? Flattering." She takes a few steps forward. "Well then, you will indeed be seeing your masters again soon." She brandished her great sword. "When I send you to them, pass on this message... they're next."

Sael looks down at his scratched chest and back up at Kojot, wagging his finger in a T-1000/Robert Patrick style (muh immersion!) before he jerks back a few steps long enough to summon a ball of hellish fire that engulfs practically the entire room, starting with the fighter that drew first blood. Luckily, he took most of the blast while the rest of the crew avoid the worst of it.

GAME: Verna casts Haste. Caster Level: 9 DC: 17

Verna is fortunate that the creature blocks some of it's own blast. Robes are generally flammable. While it my be difficult to affect the demon directly, she can attempt to do so indirectly. A rapid incantation and she invigorates herself and her allies.

Corra growls a bit as she watches and then gets blasted. That wasn't really nice." she says and shakes her head a bit. She feels the haste fall over her, "Thanks." she says with a grin and then pulls two arrows. Her first show looses those two arrows which manage to sink into the devil's hard hide and just inches from a throat shot, sinking into the shoulder instead. Two more arrows follow in rapid succession but they fail to find purchase in the foul devil. Then finaly and last shot sinks into the devils hide once more. "Did I mention I have trained to fight your kind."

GAME: Godwyn rolls Smite+4: aliased to weapon19+Charisma+4: (1)+15+3+4: 23 (EPIC FAIL)

Godwyn props her weapon onto her right shoulder and sets herself. Since the time for words is over, she says nothing as she outright charges toward the demon. At the last second, her blue eyes flash and her armor and weapons glow as she makes to deliver her attack.

It rams against his chest and does little to penetrate... but she doesn't care. Godwyn glares up at him. "Well what are you waiting for?"

Kojot grits his teeth from the firey blast, then steps up and slashes the devil viciously. The half-orc lands several small scratches (even the largest rock will lose to the sandstorm), plus one satisfying gouge.

It's been a long time since Sael actually endured any real pain, let alone at the hands of mortals. The onslaught of arrows and steel sends him into a reflexive lashing out, quite literally. His large horns do little to penetrate Kojot's armor, but the vellum contracts that make up his robe writhe and twist to life, turning into a whip like construct that flicks out and slashes at the paladin, inflictng grevious paper cut like wounds that bleed profusely. However, the supernatural coils don't ensnare.

GAME: Verna rolls 1d20+9: (19)+9: 28

GAME: Gareth rolls 1d20+16: (1)+16: 17 (EPIC FAIL)

Verna frowns as most blade and bow have moderate, minimal, or negligible effect. Perhaps magic is the proper means. Calling upon the energies and knowledge stowed within her ring, she incants an inversion of her prior spell, focused upon the creature. It's movements and actions are delayed and sluggish despite it's abyssal nature.

Godwyn's armor takes the first blow... and she does nothing but grimace at the next two as they score home. She shoves one of them away as it tries to wrap around her, before taking in a breath and closing her eyes.

Her right hand touches just above the symbol on her tabard, shredded but still there. Those wounds do not seem so grievous now... and that should be cause for concern.

"Your arrogance will cost you much," she intones as he finds his movements hampered, and as Godwyn opens her eyes, the blue glow persists.

The Sentinel raises her weapon and gives her battle cry, her voice seeming to double itself as she blazes even brighter. "Forward Unto Destiny!"

Then she swings, and as if knowing exactly what it would take... "One!" The first strike rams home, flashing against the horns, smashing them to pieces. "Two!" The second strike punches further in, penetrating his flesh.

"And... begone!" The third one is what does him in at last, and holy energy shoots through the devil. "Relay my message swiftly, tyrant."

For the first time since this entire encounter began, Sael's smug grin falters at first when he is slown to a crawl by the priestess-magi Verna and then when the first holy cut sears his infernal flesh. He doesn't have the moment to curse you, figuratively or literally before the two follow up slashes of Godwyn's blade leave nothing but black ichor and smoking red flesh twitching on the floor. His robe of contracts, no longer contained by his devilish will explodes in a shower of blood-inked pages.

After a few silent moments, the shutter to the door opens and Gregor peers inside. "Is...is it over?"

Verna observes the explosion, gloved hand tentatively lowering from the ready. "I certainly hope so. That creature was rather unpleasant." Her hood pans to Gregor. "You have no other outstanding contracts, I presume?"

Godwyn watches as the demon falls, cleaning the blood from her blade with her cloak. "Well, it appears you're still alive. That takes care of the contract on his end... but what of yours? Do you have it with you?" Because if he does, this will be resolved quickly.

Godwyn watches as the demon falls, cleaning the blood from her blade with her cloak. "Well, it appears you're still alive. That takes care of the contract on his end... but what of yours? Do you have it with you?" Because if he does, this will be resolved quickly.

The elderly wizard unlocks the door and floats inside, overland flight being one of the few spells that comes in handy at old age. "My copy is long destroyed, it was nothing something I wanted to keep around for my family to stumble across. His copy must be destroyed as well. There is a brazier outside in the courtyard. Burn mine and any others you see fit to."

Once the task is completed, returning to find Gregor only turns up his shriveled, milky-eyed corpse playing on a stone bench near the entrance. He looks peaceful, at the very least. Of course, now there is the case of the long trek back to Alexandria, possibly toting this old codgers body. DOH!

Godwyn glances back at the wizard when he doesn't answer... and closes her eyes as she sheathes her blade. "He knew what was coming. Harpist guide him to his rest." She turns to the demon with a look of disgust. "Verna... we need to destroy these contracts."

The contract itself is simple enough, a (hopefully) relatively quiet investigation for a missing person, one Golan Brooksmuth. You were hired by Rath Cooperston, a dwarven brewer and distiller that has decided to expand into wines and brandies by purchasing an old vinyard near the border of Sendor, abandoned and eventually sold by distant relatives. Brooksmuth was hired to survey the house and land and see what would be needed to bring it back into operation, but he never reported back. In this day and age of random encounters, that usually does not bode well, so the lot of you were hired. After several days on horseback, walking, or atop a rented cart, you haven't ran across the surveyor but the vinyard draws near.

The goblin artificer rides on the cart, his armor is getting large and bulky lately with additions, so best not to cripple his dog. As they travel, he tinkers with various things he brought, but when the arrive he is ready to go, frowning as he starts to look for any signs of trouble.

Corra is a tracker and so she is along to help should they need to do such. She rode her horse and her hawk flies overhead. She keeps her eyes open for the area around them, always wary.

Autumn rides on the cart as well, reading a book. She speaks up "Did you know that this vinyard has produced at least eleven vintages that are considered some of the best wines? Over the last one hundred of fifty years though. It has also produced vintages that are considered to be inferior to dog water as well. Very hit and miss this place."

Nicolai does indeed walk, his breastplate held over one shoulder and a long glaive held lime a walking stick. He whistles a tune as they travel, assuring the others that he 'knows a dozen of them .' To pass the time, he explains.

It's not long before the main house comes into sight. It has definitely seen better days. The roof has caved in and exposed two floors to the elements, and judging from the broken windows and doors, vandals and looters have picked it clean of valueables. The main processing building has fared not that much better, but being made of stone, it is somewhat more intact. The vinyards themselves are overgrown with weeds and wild grapes and blackberries coiled around the rotting trellis's that run the length of the vineyard. Still, a check of the interior is in order and there must be a cellar to store the wine somewhere.

Corra nods and ties off her horse and then looks around the others, "We should check the place out yes?" she asks and then takes a closer look at the outside first, if there might be something out here.

The goblin artificer climbs off the wagon, looking around. Klythos absently touches a dial, adjusting it absently. He doesn't say anything, figuring someone else will take charge and he can just follow and zap things.

Nicolai begins putting on his armor, tugging and tightening straps until the metal is securely fashioned around his torso. Once he's ready he follows Corra and also looks around, occasionally pushing weeds aside with his glaive.

Autumn takes a deep breath, checks her crossbow and hops down from the cart. She looks around and says "Corra, do you want to do a sweep around the house looking for tracks so we might know what we're up against?"

GAME: Corra rolls survival: (18)+10: 28

GAME: Nicolai rolls perception: (11)+7: 18

You paged Corra with 'You see some pretty old horse tracks in some dried out mud that lead up to the hitching post, which has a chewed off set of reins wrapped around it, something consistent with what you'd expect a horse to do if it was tied up too long. And some boot prints that are really faint, so at least a week or more old, going towards the main house and a distinct heel impression coming off the porch of the house facing toward the vinyards and the winery itself. Time would line up to when Golan would have been here.'

Corra cocks her head to the side as she is checking some tracks, "Well I think he was here, and then his horse got loose cause he didn't come back. Went into the house and then towards the vineyard and winery." she thinks, "We can check inside, what do you think?" she looks at the others.

Klythos shrugs "Lead." He is a goblin of few words.

Nicolai nods in agreement. "We'll be right behind you," he assures.

Autumn pauses long enough to mutter a quick spell, the comes with everyone else.

GAME: Autumn casts Mage Armor. Caster Level: 2 DC: 16

GAME: Klythos casts Magic Vestment. Caster Level: 5 DC: 16

Klythos adjusts another dial on his armor, this time there is a faint humm from the armor. He continues to look around as the move. He will bring up the rear, guarding it, and so he can shoot over and through anyone up front.

Autumn walks along, checking her crossbow and peering around carefully while sticking close to Klythos and Nicolai.

GAME: Corra rolls perception: (6)+15: 21

GAME: Autumn rolls Perception: (2)+3: 5

GAME: Nicolai rolls perception: (1)+7: 8

The tracks lead first to the winery, which looks long abandoned and shows no signs of Golan once the soft ground is replaced by the wooden floors. But another trail leads towards the vinyards and more signs that Golan met with a grisly fate pop up rapidly. First signs of a struggle in the dirt. Thick heel marks kicked into the ground, a broken trellis lies in a heap with a mess of wild grapes and weeds wrapped around it, and then drag marks. Not more than a few paces away, the thick smell of a rotting corpse hangs in the air, but it is Corra alone that spots the twitching vines that snake out amongst the trellis sides, ready to attack!

GAME: Corra rolls reflex: (14)+10: 24

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+10: (3)+10: 13

The main vine raises up, revealing a main body as thick as a man's leg and easily thirty feet in length, sending out thick offshoots to attack Corra, while every vine and plant within ten yards of it begins to animate and wildly whip around, looking for something to wrap around and constrict. Fortunately, the archer is quick on her feet and even with the element of surprise, it does nothing but reveal the rotting corpse of one Golan Brooksmuth, the latest victim and source of food for the creature.

GAME: Corra casts Hunter's Howl. Caster Level: 4 DC: 13

Corra moves back after realizing what it is and casts a spell. Her voice echoes out in a fierce howl, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

The vine wildly thrashes, looking for a victim, but once it becomes obvious that none are around, it pauses, though the vines around it continue to writhe.

GAME: Nicolai casts Spiritual Weapon. Caster Level: 3 DC: 14

GAME: Nicolai rolls 1d20+4: (12)+4: 16

Nicolai moves closer to the vines. He begins one if his favorite and most effective spells - but blinks as the glowing spear of divine force has no effect. "What is this?" he bellows Only it's not the trees that surprise him. It's the way things seem to fall away from him as he suddenly grows is what surprises him.

GAME: Autumn casts Enlarge Person. Caster Level: 2 DC: 16

Autumn starts up a steady chant as she concentrates on her spell, focusing on Nicolai...

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+8: (1)+7: 8

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+8: (5)+7: 12

Corra takes a deep breath from where she is standing and looses two arrows at the vines looking for a vulnerable place. Both arrows hit the center and strike pretty deeply pissing it off.

GAME: Klythos rolls ranged-2: (12)+7+-2: 17

GAME: Klythos rolls 3d6+5: (7)+5: 12

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+3: (8)+3: 11

The goblin grins, a bit happy to be able to do something useful. He adjusts some dials on his weapon, then raises his death ray, firing off a blast of green electric goo. The goo manages to harden and slow the thing, but the electricty has little effect.

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+18: (15)+18: 33

The vine creature doesn't seem to be intelligent, but it has a general direction from which it is being attacked. Planting several of it's larger vines on the ground, there is a horrible tearing noise as it pulls up roots, snapping the bands of electrically charged glue that keep it stuck to one of its trellises and slumps forward....Apparently this thing is mobile. As it lurches forward, the circle of animate vines and plants around it seem to follow it, coming perliously close to the priest and the goblin.

GAME: Nicolai rolls reflex-1: (6)+3+-1: 8

GAME: Nicolai rolls strength+4: (13)+4+4: 21

GAME: Nicolai rolls 1d20+4: (14)+4: 18

GAME: Nicolai rolls 1d8+1: (8)+1: 9

Nicolai's glowing sword of force (and not a lance at all) has been poking ineffectually at a mass of vines for the last few seconds, but now plunges into a particularly thick stem.

GAME: Autumn casts Grease. Caster Level: 2 DC: 16

Autumn spots that Nicolai seems to get grabbed by things, so decides to help out. Concentrating, she casts Grease on the GiantBorn's armor, making him too slick to be held...

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2-2-2: (19)+8+2+-2+-2: 25

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2-2-2: (6)+8+2+-2+-2: 12

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+7: (7)+7: 14

Corra looses two more arrows, taking time to find a tender spot and one of the arrows misses but the first sinks deeply once more into the mass of the vines and causing it to leak its sap.

GAME: Klythos rolls ranged: (8)+7: 15

GAME: Klythos rolls 4d6: (6): 6

The goblin frowns, moving up a bit closer as he adjust dials on his armor. The power back on his back starts to glow red and he fires off a blast of red energy from his death ray. The ray barely hits, scorcing a few leaves but little more than that.

GAME: Klythos rolls reflex: (17)+8: 25

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+12: (13)+12: 25

GAME: Pavel rolls 2d6+11: (7)+11: 18

GAME: You damaged Nicolai for 18 points. 10 remaining.

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+18: (15)+18: 33

Leaking profusely, the murderous plant lurches forward until it finally slams one of it's main vines across Nicolai's chest, putting a sizeable dent in his breastplate and several cracks in his ribs. Not likely to leave well enough alone, it wraps it's tendrils around the greasy giantborn, looking to choke the life from his body.

GAME: Nicolai rolls cmb+11: (10)+7+11: 28

GAME: Nicolai rolls reflex-1: (6)+3+-1: 8

GAME: Nicolai rolls 1d20+4: (14)+4: 18

Nicolai grits his teeth as he's covered in vines. They have a hard time holding him though, thanks to the spell making his armor slippery as if it was oiled. Nicolai pops out, only to stumble immediately into another patch of vines. His spiritual shortsword takes one more poke before fading from sight, leaving Nicolai to fight his own battles.

Autumn quietly steps back, watching for another opportunity to lend a hand.

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+7: (2)+7: 9

Corra again looses two arrows but the first misses, probably cause it moved and she was out of position. The second one sinks into it and the main part seems to stop moving, though there are thrashes, uncontrolable and it struggles to maintain its grasp on life...and fails.

GAME: Pavel has cleared initiatives.

Nicolai uses his glaive like a staff once more, this time to help him stand. He's clutching his midsection with his other hand, breathing heavily. "What in Tarien's name was that...?:

Corra cocks her head to the side, "PLant monster." she says and shakes her head a bit.

Nicolai pokes at the corpse in the vines with the butt of his glaive. "Mystery solved..." he murmurs

Autumn says carefully "That was very... bizzare. I've heard of plants that move on their own, read about them too, but seeing one." She shivers and shakes her head.

With the assassin vine defeated and well uprooted, Golan's corpse isn't the only one you find. The skeletons of a few looters and unfortunate grape poachers are littered in the loose dirt around the previous planting site of the vine, carrying a nice bit of coin and valueables to supplement the payment the dwarven brewer paid you. A further inspection of the grounds and cellar turns up little, and with the remains of the surveyor loaded on the cart for a proper burial, you make your way home to Alexandria.

FIN.

The Big Lebunski

2014-07-12T23:02:15Z

Marek: Created page with "This wasn't a simple "Save our Livestock/Kill the Troll/Stop the Bandits"-handbill-tacked-to-the-Explorer's-Guild-Notice-Board type of job, you knew that when each of you were..."

This wasn't a simple "Save our Livestock/Kill the Troll/Stop the Bandits"-handbill-tacked-to-the-Explorer's-Guild-Notice-Board type of job, you knew that when each of you were picked out quickly one late afternoon by Merwin Tumblebrook, the pudgy halfling assistant to Geoffrey Glimmergust, magicite and jewel tycoon, to assist in a kidnapping case. It got even more complicated when you were introduced to Geoffrey, the bloated aristocratic gnome confined to a wheelchair by terrible gout, inconsolable by the loss of his precious "Lebunski", his hare familiar.

Merwin shows you the ransome note, scrawled in blood. "WE HAVE UR RABBIT. GIVES ALL YOUR GEMS. PUT THEM IN THE OAK TREE WHERE RIDGEWAY ROAD FORKS BY MIDNIGHT OR WE FUCKS THE BUNNY UPS." The source of the blood is obvious, as the note was wrapped around a severed rabbit's foot. Geoffrey is happy to pay the ransom, but Merwin wants the four of you to deliver the case and make sure the rabbit is returned and to bring the kidnappers to justice if the opportunity presents itself. So on a cold rainy night on a creaky wagon, you find yourselves lugging the well secured strongbox on the muddy Ridgeway Road, looking to secure a bunny.

Zoob has been thinking, apparently a rarity. "So, we're rescuing a rabbit if possible, but it's already missing a foot? Wouldn't it be easier to just get another rabbit? Or even better not have nasty scary fuzzy critters underfoot all the time? I guess he's got reasons but it seems like a waste of money to me."

Solace is the tallest member of the party, a nearly unheard-of occurrence. Which probably means he's holding the box, if no one else volunteered. "People get unduly attached to their pets," he says. "And it /is/ a familiar, so I suppose there could be something special about the creature." Other than that, he rather seems to agree with the goblin.

Rhar was likely picked for her wolflingness. Or maybe because she knows how to find rabbits? They are delicious. But someone shouldn't hunt other people's rabbits. It's not nice. She listens when they're told about the rabbit, and stares at the paper with the little pictures on it. Then she stares more. None of them look like a rabbit. But the bloody foot is definitely rabbit. She gets closer to sniff at it to make sure. Then nods three times. "Rabbit."

Corra keeps her eyes open as they travel. She doesn't like the rain, hard to read tracks in the rain but she has her cloak up. "Familiars are different from what I am told." she says and shakes her head.

Fortunately, it's not a very long trip. A few miles outside of the city, Ridgeway Road does indeed come to a fork and a dead oak tree stands between the fork. As you draw nearer, the oak turns into a treant! Well, maybe not. But it does grow a mouth. "Put the gems in the hollow of the tree and await directions." The mouth says before it fades away. A simple enough spell, but suitable for ransom purposes, apparently.

Rhar doesn't mind the trip. But it's not her paws that are getting muddy. Those would be Gurr's. But Rhar above means less of Gurr's fur gets wet from the rain. So it's a good trade. Rhar also gives Gurr food. And throws the ball. Both of them growl when the tree they find talks. Then it stops. "Tree talk?" Rhar is confused. Gurr is wary.

Zoob bounces excitedly at the magic speech. "Ooh! Wizards! They go thump very satisfyingly when you put holes in them!" He brandishes his thunderbelcher. "I've just upgraded Bessie here for faster operation so when they undoubtedly attack us this should be great fun!"

Corra cocks her head to the side and then shakes it, "don't like it when the trees talk, means bad things coming." she looks around not sure if it was a delayed trigger or if someone just set it off.

"Clever. Truly." Solace's voice is deadpan. He glances at Rhar, shakes his head. "It's a spell. There are probably more of them in store, if we aren't careful." Still, he moves forward to put the box into the hollow of the tree, his other hand dropping down to lightly touch the various devices clinging to his belt.

Once the box is in the hollow of the tree, the mouth appears again, monotoning another declaration. "The bunny is an old mine 300 paces to the west of here." Simple enough. 300 or so paces to the west, there is in fact a small outcropping of rock with a small cave that leads downward. Broken rock and rusted out broken pick heads would indicate it is in fact an abandoned mine.

Corra cocks her head to the side, "Why couldn't it be a forest, why a mine, I don't like being underground, but at least it isn't a sewer." she says and shakes her head a bit.

Zoob watches the second magic voice in fascination. "Well! If the strange magic tree says go into the mine then into the mine we will go! It looks safe as far as I can tell, certainly better than my Auntie's workshop and that hardly ever falls over without blowing up first. Shall we?" He starts heading towards the mine entrance.

Solace frowns at the direction. "Mines are not the best places," he agrees with Corra. As they approach, he fingers one of the devices on his belt, and a small item unfolds. He settles this against his ear and fiddles until it starts to glow, softly.

GAME: Solace casts Detect Thoughts. Caster Level: 6 DC: 17

Rhar can follow directions, and her noise. "Fine mine!" She points it out in case anyone else didn't see it. Then she and Gurr sniff at the entrance to see what they can smell. And she looks at the ground for paw prints.

"...just the rabbit, that I can tell," Solace tells the rest, before turning around to look back towards the hollow tree. "Two of us should stay outside, while two fetch the bunny. Just in case," he suggests.

Zoob hops up and down. "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! I'm expert at keeping watch for stuff! Except when I get distracted of course or when there are bees. Or badgers, those are the worst, can't stand badgers with their stripes and tails and I'm-so-much-better-than-you-because-I-can-dig thing they have going on. Also bees."

Corra frowns, "Splitting up is rarely a good idea." she says and then shakes her head.

Solace says, "Going all in and having the mine mouth collapsed on us is also rarely a good idea," Solace points out. Then he stares at the hopping goblin, and sighs. "Perhaps we could split three to one, then, and if it goes wrong, we only lose one. Rhar, you seem good with animals," he adds, hopefully."

"Rhar go! Gurr go!" She volunteers them both. Gurr looks... less than enthused. It isn't his den. Why should he poke in it? After he reminds Rhar of the complex social and legal aspects of presumed public and private spaces, she nods. "Rhar go. Gurr go."

Ultimately, the point of whether to split up or not is pretty moot, as 3 steps into the cave, an errant footstep causes red sigils on the traced into the support beams to glow and flicker, creating a sulphurous miasma that begins to coalesce into six hellish, giant....marmots? The battle is on!

Zoob starts screaming as soon as the weasel-things appear, and goes more high-pitched when one latches onto him. "Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff! AAAAAAAAAHH!" He manages somehow to wriggle away from it but another one latches onto him and stops his flight.

"Rhar!" She wants the evil weasels to know who they bit! And it's polite to introduce yourself. She bonks the one chewing on her with her sharp metal stick and her big round not-so-sharp wood stick. It goes POOF after the shield bonking. Gurr tries to snap at the wriggly weasel, but can't. Not fair. HE'S the one supposed to be doing the biting.

GAME: Solace rolls 1d20+4+2: (16)+4+2: 22

"By the foulest breath of the Tyrant, what in all the Hells is this?" Solace yelps as the giant thing latches onto his arm and breaks through his armor, then he snaps his arm a few times until it tears free.

Cast aside, the fiendish rodents leap back onto their respective targets, gnawing new wounds into their enemies. One breaks away from menacing Zoob and leaps for the halfling, but sails over her head, catching naught by air between its fangs.

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 -2 -4 (touch attack): (15)+10+2+-2+-2+-4 (touch attack): 19

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 -2 -4 (touch attack): (5)+10+2+-2+-2+-4 (touch attack): 9

GAME: Zoob rolls 1d10+5: (1)+5: 6

Zoob has collected himself somewhat. Just a little bit. He bites back his feat and levels his thunderbelcher at the one lone marmot standing on the ground and starts firing at it, winging it with one shot and missing with the other. His knuckles are white with the strain of ignoring the one climbing up his pants.

"No hurt pack!" Rhar informs the hungry weasels. They must've been the ones that bit off the rabbit's foot. She slashes her sharp stick at the one chewing on Gurr. And hits it right in the eye! NO more chewing. EXcept for Gurr. He lunges at one tastily in reach. But there's no satisfying crunch before it poofs into smoke.

GAME: Solace rolls ranged+1+2: (19)+5+1+2: 27

GAME: Solace rolls 3d6+5: (5)+5: 10

Solace aughs again as the marmot dives in and latches onto his boot. And then he almost gets shot by the thunderbelcher. Cursing in Infernal, the artificer opens his gauntlet to reveal his deathray, and fires it into the weasel's head. It explodes in a corona of blue-white sparks.

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1+2: (4)+8+2+1+2: 17

Despite having their numbers reduced to 1/3 of their original total, the two remaining conjured hell-marmots continue to nip and tear at Corra and Zoob, scurrying around to find gaps in their armor.

GAME: Zoob rolls cmb: (3)+4: 7

Zoob drops his firearm and starts flailing madlly at the animal as it climbs all over his body, gnawing and nipping. It looks like he's in more mental distress than physical, but he's unhappy just the same. "Stopitstopitstopit! Getitoff!"

"No. Hurt. Pack!" Rhar reminds the marmot as she swings at the one on Corra. Twice. She cuts it, but doesn't bonk. And Gurr darting in between Rhar swinging sticks just misses. It's all the fur. It makes the marmots poofy.

GAME: Solace rolls ranged+1: (8)+5+1: 14

GAME: Solace rolls 3d6+5: (10)+5: 15

Now marmot-free, Solace spins and takes aim at the goblin. Or...the marmot on the goblin. Whichever he's actually aiming at, it's the marmot who fries.

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1: (6)+8+2+1: 17

Corra tries to shoot the one on her again and its just too close, its fouling her shot.

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d4: (1): 1

GAME: You damaged Corra for 1 points. 27 remaining.

Despite being alone and half dead, the remaining marmot continues to gnaw on Corra's leg, apparently content to die a warrior's death and get sent to unholy rodent Valhalla.

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 -4 (PSB, Deadly Aim, touch attack): (18)+10+2+-2+-4 (PSB, Deadly Aim, touch attack): 24

GAME: Zoob rolls 1d10+5: (6)+5: 11

Zoob stops hopping when the one is fried off his shoulder and grabs for his gun, shooting the last one on Corra. "That was unpleasant. I don't think that the wizards behind this like us much."

Solace lets his deathray sink back into its gauntlet casing, and limps over to kick a bit of marmot corpse. "And we're such nice people," he deadpans. "Let's get the rabbit."

Gurr growls. Rhar is a little annoyed. "No meat!" They hunted and killed it, and there's no reward. Gurr taks it the hardest. But he perks up at mention of the rabbit. Then sags again. Because this one isn't for eating. Rhar reminds him that and nods. "Find rabbit." And they go off searching. At least Gurr gets to SMELL rabbit.

Corra growls a bit, "Think I wasted my spell too, couldn't hit the darn things." she shakes her head, "Lets get the rabit and go."

Clambering down into the mine, it's a straight shot for the most part, the largest obstacle being a bit of debris and loose rubble to clamber over. But at the back of the worked out copper mine, there is in fact a 3 legged rabbit with a bandaged stump in a tin cage, red eyes wide and nose twitching madly. That just leaves the kidnappers, which coincidentally enough come smashing through the underbrush into the small clearing around the mine as you exit it.

"WHERE IS THE MONEYS? GIVES US THE MONEYS OR WE FUCKS YOU UP!" Bellows a rather scrawny looking fellow dressed in black studded leather with a rapier in one hand and the strongbox full of what appears to be marbles in the other. To his right is a cloaked hunchbacked figure with green-grey skin leaning against a spear, "Did my trap kill them?" It mutters rather dimly. Flanking to the left and right are two pairs of stupid looking thugs, brandishing long blades and maces to go along with their raggedy shields and worn mail shirts. "YOU TAKE OUR MONEYS, WE CUTS OFF YOUR JOHNSONS!"

GAME: Zoob rolls intimidate: (8)+7: 15

Zoob pulls himself up to his full height and leans on his thunderbelcher. "Come now, fellows, you are going about this all wrong. You are supposed to realize that if we cared about you at all that we'd have actually brought payment, that box was just to distract you. Which it did. Now get out of our way or well have to get rough with you." His voice drips menace at the end.

Corra frowns as this all happens, "Really? Just Really?" she shakes her head and sighs a little. Her spell is passed now and that just has her a bit grumpy. She eyes them through her goggles.

Rhar doesn't know who Johnson is, but she's not going to let them cut anyone. "Give rabbit! Now!" She points her sharp stick at them and growls. Gurr helps with the growling.

Solace shifts to make sure he's got three of them in the color spray arc without hitting any of his companions, and says to Rhar, "We've already got the rabbit. We just need to keep it." He looks over the bunnynappers. "You should really take the goblin's words to heart."

The lesser thugs and peons do just that and take a step back, looking amongst themselves until the leathered up ring leader puffs his chest up, "We are nihilists, we believes in nothing! He believes in it so hard it gives him dangerous powers!" He hooks a thumb toward the deformed cultist looking fellow next to him. Throwing the strongbox aside, he flourishes his rapier in an almost competent way, sparks of magical energy flying off of it. "Gives us what you have on you and we call it even!"

Zoob lifts his thunderbelcher until it is aimed square at the ringleader. "Give you what we have? How about we start with this? Bessie has all kings of gifts she's itching to give away."

Corra shakes her head, "You should just go your own ways now." she says softly.

Rhar has two sticks she can give them, too! And she waves them to show just how hard she can give them to them. "Leave rabbit. Not hurt."

GAME: Rhar rolls 1d20+6: (1)+6: 7

"No hurt pack!" Rhar doesn't know anything about magical finger-wiggly stuff. But it usually explodes! She and Gurr rush the Nihilist. Gurr gets some leg in his teeth, but not a good hold. Rhar was thinking Gurr would go faster. She swings her sharp stick before they get there.

GAME: You damaged Rhar for 19 points. 0 remaining. (DISABLED)

GAME: You damaged Solace for 5 points. 17 remaining.

It takes a wolf mauling their boss for them to snap into action, but when the peons finally do, Tarien must be smiling on them. Bringing down a mace, Rhar has her skull thumped soundly before another's longsword stabs her right in the side, while the pair of thugs to the right manages to give Solace a rather nasty slash across the arm.

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d4+1: (4)+1: 5

Meanwhile, the leather clad scrawny leader of this crew of bunnynappers steps back and mangles his way through a spell. In a flash of light, there are 6 of the idiots standing together, all with the exact same smug, self satisfied look on their faces. "Which is true me! Can you find out before I kills you?!" All six rattle off and cackle together. And the hunchbacked cultist, bleeding from Gurr's bite hobbles backward, chanting something in Infernal. Whatever it was, the prayer seems to have bolstered the resolve of he and his allies.

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1-2-2: (10)+8+2+1+-2+-2: 17

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1-2-2: (4)+8+2+1+-2+-2: 11

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+8: (1)+8: 9

Corra frowns as she watches one get hurt badly and focuses over there. She looses two arrows at them and only hits one hurting him but not dropping him.

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 -2 (touch attack): (13)+10+2+-2+-2 (touch attack): 21

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 -2 (touch attack): (2)+10+2+-2+-2 (touch attack): 10

GAME: Zoob rolls 1d10+5: (5)+5: 10

Zoob hops backward as the thug moves forward faster than he expected. "Hey!" He fires off two blasts with his thunderbelcher but the second one is accompanied with a fizzle of sparks and the capacitor grafted to the side bursts and goes dark. "Bessie! No! Don't do this to me!"

GAME: Solace rolls ranged+1: (19)+5+1: 25

GAME: Solace rolls 3d6+5: (15)+5: 20

Solace curses under his breath in Infernal, forming a counterpoint to the Nihilist, as the battle is joined and a rent is put into his armor. He takes a smart snap back and then fires his deathray, spitting blue-white sparks, into the face of his attacker. "Why do we have to get the stupid kidnappers?"

GAME: Rhar rolls melee+1: (17)+9+1: 27

GAME: Rhar rolls 1d4+4+1d6: (1)+4+(3): 8

GAME: Rhar rolls 1d20+6: (2)+6: 8

GAME: You damaged Rhar for 1 points. -1 remaining. (DYING)

Rhar is knocked for a lupe. She sees little bunnies prancing around her head. But that won't stop her. Not completely. "No... hurt... pack." She swings her stick and finishes the wounded one that bonked her. And falls off of Gurr. Who snaps at the other one but is thrown off by Rhar falling off.

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+7: (20)+7: 27

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+7: (6)+7: 13

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d8+5: (4)+5: 9

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d8+3: (3)+3: 6

Gurr doesn't get too much better treatment, getting stabbed in the side with the remaining peon's blade. Fortunately for Zoob, the mace of the other peon goes wild, though his aim seems to be getting better and better now that the ringleader of these suprisingly competent idiots begins singing a shrill war song in a pigdin of Charnese tradespeak, elven, and Infernal. The nihilists chants a few words of his own and hands his hands down on his leg, closing the bite wound that Gurr left.

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1-2-2: (4)+8+2+1+-2+-2: 11

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1-2-2: (18)+8+2+1+-2+-2: 25

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+8: (4)+8: 12

Corra looses two more arrows at one of the unwounded peons and the first misses but the second shot hits soundly almost dropping him, but he is still standing.

GAME: Zoob rolls craft/gunsmithing: (18)+10: 28

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 (DA): (8)+10+2+-2 (DA): 18

GAME: Zoob rolls 1d10+5: (2)+5: 7

Zoob hops backward again, frantically prying out the busted component on Bessie and socketing in a new one. As soon as the replaced charge is in place the gun goes off, finishing the aborted shot from before and taking the top of the thug's head right off. "Well. That worked I guess. Good Bessie."

GAME: Solace rolls ranged+1: (12)+5+1: 18

GAME: Solace rolls 3d6+5: (13)+5: 18

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+3: (6)+3: 9

Solace's head turns as he catches the familiar lilt of his home language, and he scowls. "What, did the Council boot you on your odiferous ass for incompetence?" he asks, but rather than waiting for an answer, he fires off a ray of shimmering, sticky lightning that crawls over the enemy's skin, hissing and popping.

GAME: You damaged Rhar for 1 points. -2 remaining. (DYING)

GAME: Rhar rolls 1d20+6: (16)+6: 22

GAME: Rhar rolls 1d6+3: (6)+3: 9

Rhar lies in a heap on the ground. Bleeding from the stab and the head-cracking. Gurr is not happy. He delicately explains the error in the peon's actions. By biting his face off.

Hissing some hateful words in Infernal, the nihilist curses Solace to blindness, but being a rough and tumble sort, it doesn't take. Meanwhile, the ringleader begins chanting some long winded spell.

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+1: (8)+1: 9

GAME: You damaged Rhar for -9 points. 7 remaining.

GAME: Corra casts Cure Light Wounds. Caster Level: 1 DC: 14

Corra watches Gurr take out the other peon that is close and takes the opportunity to move over. She leans down to touch Rhar as she sings softly and casts a spell. Glowing moves from her to Rhar, healing.

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 -2 (PSB, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, touch attack): (1)+10+2+-2+-2 (PSB, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, touch attack): 9

GAME: Zoob rolls craft/gunsmithing: (8)+10: 18

Zoob levels his thunderbelcher at the ringleader. "I told you Bessie had something for you, here it is." He pulls the triggers and there is a small 'plink' sound as the capacitor drops off again and rolls. Zoob makes a grab for it and misses, scrabbling around as it lodges under the body of the guy he shot previously.

GAME: Solace rolls ranged+1: (8)+5+1: 14

GAME: Solace rolls 3d6+5: (10)+5: 15

Solace is happy to return insult for insult, in the same language, even. In Infernal, the half-Mul cheerfully calls him a failure to his homeland, his race (whatever that might be), all the gods both good and evil, and his parents (presumed to be a goat and a ooze, based on Solace's words). And he also shoots him again, like you do.

Rhar gets to her furry feet after the feeling-better. With the help of Gurr fur. She climbs aboard and growls loud at everybody. "Go for throat! Go for belly!"

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d8+5: (3)+5: 8

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d20+8: (17)+8: 25

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d6+8: (6)+8: 14

The ringleader finishes his incantations and gestures, mirrored by 5 copies. A few yards in front of solace appears a stocky dwarf made of stone and earth, which lurches forward to slam an earthen fist into his skull. With that distraction complete, the ringleader moves to heal the dark priest, who throws back his hood, revealing a malformed half-orc visage with the symbol of Gunakhar seared into his forehead. The old scar begins to smoke and bubble like a fresh wound, releasing death and decay all around.

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1-2-2: (14)+8+2+1+-2+-2: 21

GAME: Corra rolls ranged+2+1-2-2: (20)+8+2+1+-2+-2: 27

GAME: Corra rolls 1d8+8: (7)+8: 15

GAME: Corra rolls 3d8+24: (15)+24: 39

Corra really did not like the effects of that channel. She pulls back her bow and takes a deep breath aiming as she looses first one and then a second arrow at the half orc. The first shot takes him solidly. The second takes the nihilst in the eye and down the priest goes.

GAME: Zoob rolls craft/gunsmithing: (17)+10: 27

GAME: Zoob rolls ranged +2 -2 (PSB, Deadly Aim, touch attack): (6)+10+2+-2 (PSB, Deadly Aim, touch attack): 16

GAME: Zoob rolls 1d6: (3): 3

GAME: Pavel rolls 1d6: (3): 3

GAME: Zoob rolls 1d10+5: (9)+5: 14

Zoob scrabbles and finds his capacitor, slamming it home and raising Bessie. He fires again at the multiple guy, his bullet finding a home. "Hah! There you go, present from Bessie! Next time I'll giftwrap it for you."

The leathered up leader of what is now a party of one gasps as the bullet tears through his stomach and a wolf snaps away at one of his exact copies, causing it to blink out of existence. "You haven't seen the last of Chuckwith Stepleton!" He stacks one cliche on top of another one by shaking his 5 fists as he says it, but what can you expect from a bard. With a quick muttering of a spell, he fades from sight and flees from the scene of carnage. The elemental doesn't fare much better under the continued attention of the likes of you adventurers, but it gives him time to flee in the chaos.

After patching your comrades up, you turn to discover some bad news. Subject to the life draining magics of the deformed priest, Lebunski is nothing more than rabbit jerky, frozen in one last moment of horror. Wrapping the stiff little chunk in a rag, you endure the walk of shame of a seemingly failed adventure back to Geoffrey's manor, only to find the fat gnome happy as a clam in front of the fireplace, with an intact Lebunski in his lap, nibbling on a carrot.

"Hey, it turns out he wasn't kidnapped! I found him hiding in Merwin's room! Speaking of, have you seen him? I looked all over and I couldn't find him, not since you left!"

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!
