- Summary: Hired by the Guild to investigate wolf attacks on a village
- APL: 4
- Encounter 1: 3 CR 3 Dire Wolves CR 6 Encounter
For Fiore and Nysalia, you are called to a village not that far from the one you were at before. All of you were sent word by the guild that there was a village in need of help, they have been attacked by wolves and they are very scared. They need help to drive them off or at least keep them away. So you all made the trek to the village where you were plied with food and taken to the last site of the attack. There you can see places where there are the remains of blood and tracks. Whatever was attacked as taken away, it appears it was a villager. The village is desperate for help.
<OOC> Zyla says, "free poses"
Tugging on her Vambraces, Fiore looks to Nysalia. 'Here we go again." She says as she walks her way through the village and starts to follow the blood. "Wolves......Probably has something to do with those collars, Nys."
As the group approaches the village, Nysalia turns to Fiore, her companion from the last venture and nods. "Maybe. Two villages attacked in the same way, with animals acting out of character. Wolves usually don't go near buildings, they go after livestock. It could be that someone is targeting these villages, but who knows why."
There is little to discuss in Leonis' mind. He studies the tracks, and the smearing of blood that lead away from where they arrived. "It seems you are acquainted with this scene a bit more than I..." a pause as he tries to think of a name for Fiore. "Did I ever get a name? Did I ever give one? How rude have I been unintentionally?" his voice huffing in faint amusement. "Anyway, I agree. This seems a bit dire for a situation with wolves. Shall we track them?" his mouth seeming to run with every thought.
Kevan does plenty of jobs with the guild, and this is just another one. He has traveled along with the others, hearing a little about this issue with wolves. When folks start doing introductions, he will introduce himself as Kevan Windsquire.
Perhaps strange to some, familiar to others, a odd paid of figures come ambling down the road towards the village. It would appear to be a ten foot tall tree with a humanoid figure riding on its shoulder. As they get closer, it appears to be an elf carrying a scimitar and a long bow. The tree remains quite treelike even upon closer inspection, except for the walking part. The figure has the bow in one hand, but waves with the other and calls out in Trade "Are the rumors true? Another attack?"
Fiore says, "Fiore. That's what Master Iroh named me anyways.....after fire." She then smiles. "This is Nysalia." She then looks to the tree...and the elf. "Yup. Another attack. Wolves this time." She then points to Leonis. "Lead the way.""
"Fiore and I have faced something similar," Nysalia says. "The other day, we were sent to a village that was attacked by a pair of horses that did quite a bit of damage. They had metal collars on that were controlling them through magic. So, if there wolves are controlled in the same way, they won't be behaving like typical wolves."
Leonis smiles with a bob of his head. "Gladly, Fiore. I am Leonis." he replies, as not to be rude. The odd pair that arrived get a curt nod, and a warm glance. "If this is the same, I would like to take a look at these collars." and that's about it for talking. It's time to track. His mace is taken from the circle on his belt, and then his gaze falls to the tracks and marred earth. Business has began.
<OOC> Zyla says, "perception for those looking around." GAME: Nysalia rolls Perception: (19)+6: 25 GAME: Fiore rolls perception: (19)+12: 31 GAME: Kevan rolls perception: (2)+8: 10 GAME: Eilrie rolls Perception: (13)+13: 26 GAME: Eilrie rolls 1d20+7: (10)+7: 17 GAME: Leonis rolls perception: (11)+3: 14 GAME: Leonis rolls survival+1: (3)+8+1: 12
You can all see large wolf tracks and a signs of fighting. There are a lot of tracks, multiple of the wolves.
You paged Leonis with 'you have the rough idea of which way they are going.'
<OOC> Nysalia says, "Do the tracks look larger than a normal wolf?" <OOC> Zyla says, "yes"
"Well, this could be a problem," Nysalia says as she examines the large wolf tracks. BIgger than normal, which is what's causing her concern. Nysalia secures her quarterstaff to her back and unslings her crossbow, loading it as the party advances. "Fiore, I'll stay behind you, alright? You took down those horses pretty easily last time. Hopefully the wolves won't cause more problems fighting them for you."
"I'll do what I can, but we've got more people with us this time." Fiore then looks up. "and a tree. So we should be fine."
Standing from where he had crouched, Leonis motions with his light mace. "That's about the way they went. It's all mucked up here. A struggle, and blood smears. I might be able to follow them better once we get a ways out, but right now... it's just a rough estimate." letting the others discuss the finer things about the wolves.
Kevan listens as the others talk over whats going on amongst themselves. He seems to be checking his equipment, sword belt attached firmly, buckler ready, all those little things.
<OOC> Zyla says, "ready to move on and follow tracks?" <OOC> Fiore says, "yup."
The odd pair, plant and elf, move towards the tracks. She says "I'm Eilrie and this is Galadh. If we can, we should /not/ kill this wolf if we can help it. If it being controlled, it is the victim in this and should not be punished for it."
Fiore says, "We've tried. It can't be removed unless the one wearing it is dead. We tried with the horses and they wouldn't come off."
<OOC> Eilrie says, "Yes, and I'd like to help with the tracking."
Nysalia agrees with Fiore, nodding. "Yes. I don't like the idea of killing a creature that is being controlled against it's nature, but they may not give us a choice in the matter. At least we can continue the search and bring whoever is doing this to justice. Remember, whoever was controlling the horses maded them destroy a building with their hooves. Ultimately, the wolves are only a symptom of the larger plot."
GAME: Eilrie rolls Survival: (19)+13: 32
With a little time you are able to follow the tracks and head off towards a copse of trees. You make your way there, crossing fields.
"A shame. Most of us seem in agreement." a glance shot to the elf upon Galadh as the follow the tracks. "If this is the case, we must just make sure that it's death is not needless. We will find the source of this, and then act accordingly." moving to continue their search.
"naturally. We're not that heartless." Fiore says as they cross fields. Eilrie keeps her eyes open as she rides on the tree's shoulder, bow ready and alert. She directs Galadh to continue to follow along the tracks.
Kevan simply follows the trackers, its not a skill he is that good at, so always leave that stuff to experts.
<OOC> Zyla says, "perception" GAME: Eilrie rolls Perception: (11)+13: 24 GAME: Eilrie rolls 1d20+7: (8)+7: 15 GAME: Zyla rolls 1d20+3: (16)+3: 19 GAME: Leonis rolls perception: (17)+3: 20 GAME: Fiore rolls perception: (10)+12: 22 GAME: Kevan rolls perception: (16)+8: 24 GAME: Nysalia rolls perception: (10)+6: 16
Almost all of you hear something ahead. Eilrie's plant friend and Nysalia don't notice, but there is just something that suddenly seems off.
GAME: Eilrie used a Rod of Lesser Extend. GAME: Eilrie casts Longstrider. Caster Level: 4 DC: 15 <OOC> Eilrie says, "On Galadh..." <OOC> Zyla says, "ok"
Eilrie starts muttering a prayer to the Forces of Nature to enhance Galadh. Leonis takes up his buckler, and raises the light mace to signal those behind him. No words, just the motion for caution as his stance changes.
Kevan draws his scimitar, and looks around slowly, prepared for a fight when it comes. His eyes are narrowed but he can't seem to figure out why he feels something is off.
As the others ready their weapons, Nysalia brings her crossbow to bear as well. She looks off in the direction of the tracks, ready for what may lie in front of them.
Fiore looks towards the direction of the tracks.
GAME: Zyla rolls 1d20+10: (17)+10: 27
There are echoes of howls coming from the trees. You are almost to the edge when two large wolves, easily the size of horses emerge from the trees.

Leonis notices the wolves that have likely been aware of them in return. They did show themselves. His stance tightens, drawing to a stop before the others of the party. He's ready and waiting, his mace held with a flex of his grasp.
As the wolves begin to move in, Nysalia fires off a bolt from her crossbow. The shot goew wide, though, and she steps backwards to reload.

GAME: Kevan's initiative total changed to 3.
Kevan grins and rushes forward, the plants seem unable to grasp him and he almost dances through them until he reaches the wolf, slashing with his scimitar. He gets a good strike at it, cutting it and causing blood to flow.
<OOC> Leonis says, "With Kevan going forward, and two wolves caught in entangle. I am going to move towards the back of the party, and hold my action in case the third one charges.

<OOC> Zyla says, "fiore" <OOC> Fiore says, "The one towards the rear is bad news, huh?"
Leonis sees the forward wolves are given some obstacles, his attention turning on the third that has tired to fool them with it's flanking. He just switches position, moving to the back of the party, waiting for it's charge. "I think I know what a rat feels like when a cat is baring down."
<OOC> Zyla says, "it isn't in an entangled zone." <OOC> Fiore says, "all right. Might have to divvy us up for this then." <OOC> Fiore says, "Actually, lemme hold action for the other two.." <OOC> Fiore says, "I know...argh." <OOC> Zyla grins. <OOC> Fiore poses.

Caster Level: 4 DC: 16 <OOC> Eilrie says, "Behind me?" <OOC> Zyla says, "yes one of the wolves had circled around to ambush but it wasn't sneaky enough not to be seen" <OOC> Eilrie says, "Ok, having Galadh moving over towards that one.

With the wolved entangled and closer now, Nysalia takes aim agian with her crossbow. This time, the shot strikes true and hits a wolf in the shoulder, eliciting a yelp of pain. With a grim nod, Nysalia reloads her crossbow.

Eilrie recites a prayer that makes Galadh even tougher in combat, then directs him towards the wolf attempting to circle around and capture it...
<OOC> Zyla says, "the one in front of you it hurt, but the one behind you is more hurt. you have two wolves on you both flanking. the one behind is hurt enough that you could probably knock it out if you used non lethal." <OOC> Zyla says, "but that would impose -4 to hit" <OOC> Kevan says, "Can I move to whichever is most healthy?" <OOC> Zyla says, "you don't have to move, its right in front of you" <OOC> Kevan says, "Ok, I slash it" GAME: Kevan rolls 11: (1)+11: 12 (EPIC FAIL) <OOC> Kevan says, "psh" <OOC> Zyla says, "miss."

<OOC> Zyla says, "Leonis" <OOC> Leonis says, "I am going to drop my mace, and take out my light crossbow, and load it. I believe that's my action. Since getting in melee is risky either way." <OOC> Zyla says, "ok." GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.

Leonis drops his mace, taking a moment to draw a light crossbow, and prepare it for combat by loading a bolt. "It's always like this." he mutters to himself, taking note of where his previous weapon was laid. He'll come back for it after this is done.
<OOC> Zyla says, "no. its the one behind the group." <OOC> Fiore says, "Okie. How far away?" <OOC> Zyla says, "its 50'" <OOC> Fiore says, "Okie. I'm gonna slide on up behind it, and attack it with Stunning fist." <OOC> Fiore says, "oh wait..." <OOC> Fiore says, "My movement is only 40, so I'd have to double move to get there. I move behind it but 10 feet away. that way it'll have to divide it's attention for a round, and I can 5' step in next round." <OOC> Zyla says, "okay" GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.
Round Three - Init 20.
It is now W1's turn! Nysalia is next!
<OOC> Zyla says, "w1 is going to try to attack you again Kevan" <OOC> Kevan says, "Ok"

<OOC> Zyla says, "Eilrie" <OOC> Zyla says, "do you have Heal?" <OOC> Zyla says, "skill?"
Again, Nysalia raises her crossbow and takes careful aim at the remaining wolf to the front. She fires off the bolt, and it strikes home deep in the beast's chest. There's a yelp of pain, the wolf shudders, then falls to the ground dead.
<OOC> Eilrie says, "Checking... yes. Not great, but yes." <OOC> Zyla says, "roll it" GAME: Eilrie rolls Heal: (14)+9: 23 You paged Eilrie with 'you know that neither wolf that has fallen so far is hurt enough that you they are dead, but they are dying and can be stabilized. figured you would want to know that.'

Eilrie gestures and commands Galadh to keep controlling the wolf it is wrestling with. She shouts "STOP! Don't kill them!" She hops down and with a thought releases the Entangle so the spell stops trying to grab everything. Moving towards the downed ones to check on them. She adds "Someone help Galadh in case the wolf starts breaking free."
<OOC> Eilrie says, "Going to try and stablize the downed ones." <OOC> Zyla says, "do you have stabilize prepared?

It is now Kevan's turn! W2 is next!

<OOC> Zyla says, "kevan both wolves on you are down, no entanglement. One wolf grappled at 65' from you" <OOC> Kevan says, "Then I'll just hold my position and wait to see what happens."
Kevan holds his blade, then flicks it to get some of the wolves blood off it. He looks around, perhaps making sure nothing else charges out from the distance.

It is now Leonis' turn! Fiore is next!
The wolf pinned by the tree writhes around a bit and then breaks free. It growls a bit.
<OOC> Zyla says, "Leonis you have your crossbow out." <OOC> Leonis says, "I do." <OOC> Leonis says, "Sorry I was having to find something for my blind sister.It's not easy." <OOC> Leonis says, "Alright, I am going to take aim at the one that broke free, and try and peg it with a bolt since it's disengaged." <OOC> Zyla says, "ok" GAME: Leonis rolls 1d20+4: (2)+4: 6 <OOC> Leonis says, "Ha! That should of been +5 actually, but I am sure it still missed." <OOC> Zyla says, "yep..." GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.

It is now Fiore's turn! W1 is next!
<OOC> Zyla says, "Fiore, it is nolonger pinned or grappled." <OOC> Fiore says, "but I can step up and flurry, right?" <OOC> Zyla says, "yep it hasn't moved.."
Leonis raises his crossbow, training on the wolf near the tree, and elf. The small thing didn't take long to load, but accuracy is called in to question as the bolt goes wide, and sticks harmlessly in to the earth. There is a pause, lips peeling in an annoyed smile. "This is not my day." he mutters, beginning to reload.
<OOC> Fiore says, "I think I'll pull my punches though. I don't think I need the -4 to hit for it." <OOC> Fiore using a ki point too.

It is now Nysalia's turn! Eilrie is next!
<OOC> Zyla says, "Nysalia" <OOC> Nysalia says, "Okay. So, do any of these wolves have the magic collar on?" <OOC> Zyla says, "there is one still fighting, two down, going to go look at the down ones or just trying to get a quick look so can still do something else?" <OOC> Nysalia says, "Quick look at one of the downed ones to decide if I need to shoot again" <OOC> Nysalia says, "One of the downed ones is like 10' away IIRC" <OOC> Zyla says, "perception" GAME: Nysalia rolls perception: (12)+6: 18 <OOC> Zyla says, "yes has collar, no, its out of fight."
Three quick punches, and two connects makes Fiore a happy girl. The fact that it's not down makes her a little less happy though.
<OOC> Nysalia says, "Okay, going over to the one Eilrie has stablized and using rope to bind it so that it won't attack if it wakes up." <OOC> Zyla says, "pose." GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.

GAME: Eilrie rolls 1d20+11+2: (13)+11+2: 26 <OOC> Eilrie says, "Going back for the grapple. :)" <OOC> Zyla says, "grappled again" GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.
Round Four - Init 6.
It is now Kevan's turn! W2 is next!
<OOC> Zyla says, "kevan"
There's only one wolf up, and Eilrie is rather distruaght at the party having hurt the wolves. But considering that the beasts have collars on them similar to the horses, Nysalia doesn't feel too guilty. But to keep the peace, Nys runs over to the wolf that Eilrie had just tended to and kneels down, pulling out sturdy rope from her backpack and working quickly to bind the wolf to prevent it from attacking again should it wake up.
<OOC> Kevan says, "Everythings in hand basicly, yes?"
Eilrie rushes over to the second downed wolf, to keep it from bleeding out and dying. Meanwhile with dogged determination, Galadh's branch arms wrap back around the wolf to pin it to the ground again...
<OOC> Zyla says, "wolf grappled again but still very active."
Kevan moves over closer to the grappled wolf, but takes no action so far. Merly waits while others pummel it, he won't try, he might cut it up.
<OOC> Kevan says, "Just being ready in case it breaks free" <OOC> Zyla says, "ok." GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 24.
It is now Leonis' turn! Fiore is next!
The Wolf breaks free once more, shaking its head a bit and growling.
<OOC> Zyla says, "leonis" <OOC> Leonis says, "As much as this is amusing, watching a tree tickle a wolf. I'm going to try and shoot it again." <OOC> Zyla says, "-4 to hit if you don't have precise" <OOC> Leonis says, "Revise that. I think I am going to cast ear-piercing scream." <OOC> Zyla says, "ok..." <OOC> Leonis says, "Well.. I might daze it? Maybe." GAME: Leonis casts Ear-Piercing Scream. Caster Level: 2 DC: 14 GAME: Leonis rolls 2d6: (11): 11 <OOC> Leonis says, "Whoops. No. 1d6." GAME: Leonis rolls 1d6: (2): 2 GAME: Zyla rolls 1d20+7: (6)+7: 13 <OOC> Zyla says, "it is dazed and hurt a bit." GAME: Zyla advances the initiative order.
Round Five - Init 21.
It is now Fiore's turn! W1 is next!
<OOC> Zyla says, "fiore, the tree grabbed it again but then lost its hold once more" <OOC> Zyla says, "and it is dazed" <OOC> Fiore says, "same thing. Flurry with ki point." <OOC> Fiore says, "and pulling punches." <OOC> Zyla says, "ok" <OOC> Eilrie says, "For non-lethal?" <OOC> Fiore says, "yeah, for non-lethal." GAME: Fiore rolls melee: (18)+7: 25 GAME: Fiore rolls melee: (20)+7: 27 (THREAT) GAME: Fiore rolls melee: (10)+7: 17 GAME: Fiore rolls melee: (3)+7: 10 <OOC> Zyla says, "Hit, crit, miss" GAME: Fiore rolls 1d8+4: (6)+4: 10 GAME: Fiore rolls 2d8+8: (10)+8: 18 <OOC> Zyla says, "it is unconscious, it falls." <OOC> Fiore thumbs up.
Leonis had been ready to take another shot, but the redundancy of actions take it's toll. With a twitch, he calls upon the divine blessings. It's beautiful words, and the reverberating wave of his yell that is let loose upon the wolf... though no one hears a thing except his target.
<OOC> Zyla says, "free poses for a moment after Fiore's pose. how is everyone on time want to wrap up, I usually don't go a second encounter but could tonight if you were up to it"
Eilrie pulls out some rope to hobble and muzzle the wolf that Galadh was wrestling with. She checks it, to make sure it will survive the battle. Then she starts checking the collar that it is wearing. She will even check it magically.
GAME: Eilrie casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 4 DC: 14 GAME: Eilrie rolls Spellcraft: (8)+6: 14
Fiore really punches the crap out of the wolf, but it's the kick to the side of the head that makes the wolf fall. She looks over to EIlrie and the tree. "I made sure not to kick it as hard as I could Eilrie. But, as a precaution, double check this one, okay?"
Leonis retrieves his discarded weapons, his sheepish glance searching the others. "Well, it got done." little thanks to his efforts. Though he was never really good at the fighting thing. A sigh follows his mental dismissal, and his attention turns to the objects that drew him here in the first place. "So... it was these collars again?" moving towards Eilrie as he waits for confirmation.
Kevan cleans off his blade, and sheathes it. He looks around then towards whomever is asking about the collars. "Have some of them been taken to the guild already?"
You paged Eilrie with 'it shows signs of enchantment magic though it seems to be fading. the collers look to be made of a single piece of metal.'
Eilrie frowns as she looks over the collar on the wolf she is examining "It... looks like the enchantment is fading. It might be as simple as keeping the wolves restrained until they are free of the enchantment and the collars can be removed."
Nysalia goes over to Eilrie and helps her with binding the wolves. "The collars are magical," she explains as she sees Eilrie examining the metal bands on the wolves. "And they are tied to the life force of th wearer, so they cannot be removed ever. And the best will obey whatever commands it is given by the master of these collars." She sighs as she finishes tying a knot. "Perphaps there are sages that can decipher how to take the collars off, but the other collars we collected from the horses are stillbeing examined."
Fiore says, "Get the collars off then. Cut 'em off if you have to. That way we can get them to the guild." She then looks to Nys. "though I doubt the guild is going to say anything if there isn't an enchantment.""
Nysalia adds, "The enchantment is ebbing because the wolves are so badly hurt. But it won't disappear until they are dead." She turns to Fiore. "The collars are metal. And enchanted metal at that. We can't cut them off."
Eilrie shrugs "Whoever enchanted these collars can't be the most powerful wizards in the land. We can find someone who is stronger and they can remove the collars without a problem. It might take powerful magic, but I know a few people who would be willing to do what it takes to get them off."
Kevan grunts and shakes his head, "Tie up the wolves, lock them up, heal them. Then take them whole and alive back to the guild."
Leonis raises a brow, listening as he raises a finger as if he asked permission to speak. "Then shouldn't we take the wolves?" he asks and looks between them. "I have to head back, but I assure you I can deliver some injured wolves to the guild. Though I won't deny that I would also have another party take a gander at them too. " he says in full disclosure.
<OOC> Zyla says, "Knowledge/Arcana rolls are possible." <OOC> Fiore does not have the skill. GAME: Eilrie rolls Knowledge/Arcana: Trained Use Only: 0 <OOC> Eilrie grins. GAME: Nysalia rolls knowledge/arcana: (1)+7: 8 (EPIC FAIL)
<OOC> Zyla nods. then you just have to go with what you have. we can do wrap up if you want with the added that you get the wolves to someone that can remove the collars.
After making sure the wolves are secured and all that, you get a hold of the villagers who pay you and even offer transportation to get the wolves to where you can help them. They thank you heartily for helping them. The collars can be removed by various means available but still the mystery of them remains.
