Garrett awaits his possible return to consciousness.
Back to Oshirr House (DM JohnP) Sunday July 30th, 2006 10:16:22 PM Xenia crosses the final yards of ground to the gates of Oshirr House. When the students guarding the gates see her, Thora and Dreana they open the gates wide. Xenia can see the questions in their eyes. Somehow, the group's mission to Gargalus' lair wasn't much of a secret to the people here. But maybe their target was. Xenia doesn't know and can't tell.
She looks around at the students, wondering what she is supposed to do with the Feystone now. What course should she take? How should she proceed?
She isn't very far into the compound when there is a great tumult of cries from the guards. Looking back outside, she can see the crumpled bodies of two of her companions. From here, it looks like Garrett and Nauthiz'Ull. But it's difficult to tell with all of the blood and gore that covers their bodies.
She turns and goes back to her fallen companions. As she approaches quietly, she sees that a note has been pinned somehow to the cloak on Garrett's back. When she looks closer, she realizes that both of them still cling to life.
========================================
Toros and Appolo both keep running. The brief stop to heal allowed the pursuing fey-trolls to close the gap. Somehow, the pair think that they will not shake their pursuers until they reach Oshirr House.

"Alemi!" The dark girl rogue shouts at students who just stand around staring. "Don't just stand there! Get Alemi!"
Xenia stumbles the last few feet to the bodies of Garrett and the Nauth-Whatever-Guy. Struggling out of her haversack is like fighting off a weirdo tentacle squid thing, but finally it's off and she reaches into one of the smaller pouches for potions.
It's in there.
She pops a cap and pours it down the throat of one of the bloody and beaten bodies.
The Power Stone Thing. In the sack. In the big compartment.
Another potion. This one goes down the other throat.
It's in there.
"Now what am I gonna do with it?" the rogue whispers to herself.

Garrett remains unconscious, dreaming of home.
In the Gateway (DM JohnP) Monday July 31st, 2006 10:48:25 PM Xenia's ministrations partly revive her two fallen companions. Both Garrett and Nauthiz'Ull start to revive.
One of the students guarding the gate runs off to fetch Alemi, presumably. After several minutes, during which Xenia tends to her companions, the student returns with the commander of Oshirr House.
When Alemi sees the fallen pair, he rushes up and kneels in front of them. He points to the note pinned to Garrett's cloak.
"Do you know anything about this? How did they get here? I presume that you did not carry them, did you?"
One of the students volunteers that the bodies of the pair suddenly appeared at the gate. Alemi nods in understanding.
"Ahh, Gargalus is probably trying to taunt us. Let's see what this says."
The future god reaches out and plucks the note from Garret's cloak. He opens it and reads is silently, frowning as he does so. He folds it carefully before saying anything.
"As I thought. He means to insult all of you and, through you, myself. But that does not matter if you were succcessful? Were you?"
Just then, Toros and Appolo clear the treeline. It's been some time since they last heard the howls of the fey-trolls behind them but running seemed like the best thing to do.
Xenia (AC21, 55/55 HP) Monday July 31st, 2006 11:08:01 PM
"Um. Yeah. I think." The girl rogue kneels by her two Really-Awfully-And-Grody-Terribly-Beat-Up companions and waves at Appolo and Toros coming out of the trees. "Um ... " She opens the top of her haversack and grips the top of the cloth sack inside gingerly in two gloved fingers. The sack is rent in several places by broken glass. "It's in here."
"Don't touch it," she warns. "It feels sort of weird when you touch it. Like it's pulling stuff out of you."
She lowers the sack to the ground. Then taking one of the lower corners of the sack, she dumps the contents onto the ground.

Still hurt,but no longer bleeding,the exhuasted Appolo sprints through the gates stopping next to Xwnia and his fallen comredes"OK MIssion occomplished.We have the stone.Gargulas is pissed.we also managed to take out quitea large number of his pets.It will beawhile before he launches another attack on this place."
Nauthiz'Ull Tuesday August 1st, 2006 1:24:36 PM
The dagger. He almost has it in his hand. COntinually swiping at the handle of it as if willing the two to make contact he finally hears...A CLICK! His hand continues to reach for it and click is prduced each time; a ring is the producer.
He actually sees his hand become a milky substance and the leatch bindings of the dagger are felt. Cold; sticky cold.
Then he drinks the warmest liquid he has ever tasted; not the hottest, the warmest. He almost chokes on the liquid. That is when he realizes...both of his hands are trying for the dagger!
The cave races away, as if being ripped away, and there is a transition where the rest of his body begins to feel the same warmth as his throat just experienced.
Then, there are more voices, and a bright light.
Garrett Tuesday August 1st, 2006 9:20:39 PM
Garrett's eyes flutter open and he sees all his companions alive and well, and at Oshirr house to boot. "How did I get here. Who saved us?" Garrett then quickly looks and finds Nauth on the ground next to him, and clasps his shoulder. "I thought we were done for wunjo. What happened?"
Garrett quickly looks to Xenia "Did you get it, did we succeed?"
Handing it Over (DM JohnP) Tuesday August 1st, 2006 10:28:49 PM Xenia tumbles the fey-thingy onto the grass from her pack. Alemi nods when she warns him about the thing. He reaches out, holding his hand just over the stone. He must be measuring it, or reading it somehow. For the future could not be fearful of this little thing, could he?
Then, with a plunging motion, Alemi grips the stone in his hand. His face tightens for a moment and then relaxes. Whatever it is, he seems to have enough willpower to overcome the draining effect.
"I do not know how Gargalus made this thing, but I can sense some of what it does. You have done well for this is the item that will allow me to accomplish my goals. And, then, in your future it can be used for what you seek."
"Take your friends back to the house where you first sheltered. Rest there while I study this thing. While you rest, I will send some people to heal you and provide for your needs."
"Once I have done what I aim to do, it shall be yours to take back with you."
Now the god nods to Appolo and Toros in thanks. Then, cradling the fey-thingy like a precious stone, Alemi turns to go towards his sanctum. As he does so, he motions to the students and several approach to carry the wounded.
========================================
The party is taken back to the house they first used, which seems so long ago. Fruits and simple foods are there for them, along with tubs and other needs for bathing.
The oldest student who brought them there asks in a polite and slightly awed voice, "What would you need?"
Appolo Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 11:32:30 AM
Appolo heads for the house.He immediately strips down.Revealing multiple wounds.When asked what he needs as he accepts the healing"A nice big steak,some strong ale,eggsand bread then a nice long bath followed by sleeping until I awke in my own time and place."
Xenia Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 12:21:24 PM
Whoa ...
Solemness while Alemi is taking on the glowing Power Stone Thing. This is the sort of stuff Gods are made of. For the first time the girl rogue sees it. In the back of her mind, she wonders what it must have been like to fight Gargul.
"Wooooo!!!" That's for when Alemi leaves. "We did it!!! Wedidit! Wedidit! Wedidit!!!" She jumps up and grabs Garrett around the neck.
"Oh! Oh, sorry. Oh stars. You're all covered in blood." Half laughing, she helps her companions to their house. "hehe. We did it, guys!"
All the energy drains out of her, though, when they get inside. Not in a bad way, but in a real satisfied sort of got-things-done sort of way.
"Bath ... " the dark rogue says. "Need bath ... Want bath ... "
The warm water is like floating in luxury.
Garrett Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 9:52:01 PM
Garrett accepts Xenias congratulations with a grimace of pain, quickly followed by a smile.
"You did most of it. All I did was distract him by punching his staff with my face."
Garrett thinks quickly about a bath after he takes off his armor, but by the time it registers he is laying on his back drifting into slumberland.
The Day After (DM JohnP) Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 10:32:10 PM
The bath is relaxing, soothing and oh so warm. Xenia calls several times to get extra hot water brought as she soaks in the tub until all the aches and pains have eased.
Garrett declines her thanks but he rapidly falls asleep after removing his armor. Appolo also doffs his armor and immediately looks for a meal.
========================================
The rest of the day passes uneventfully, as does the evening. A good night's sleep leaves each of them feeling much better. Students continue to bring food and other simple requests from the party.
By the afternoon of the following day, everyone is getting a bit antsy. They've been here at least twenty-four hours and there is not news yet. And no one has come to thank them, either. And they're still here.
Xenia d20+22=35 d20+22=26 d20+20=35 d20+13=24 Thursday August 3rd, 2006 1:39:14 PM
The dark rogue climbs up to the North Wall where they had fought the Great Battle against the Fey Orcs and the Fey Kobolds. She seats herself in the cradle of one of the stone crenellations and looks out over the field, out toward the distant trees.
The emptiness calls up thoughts of Wynn, his thoughtful face, the sound of his laugh, the feel of his body next to hers just before drifting off to sleep. Xenia feels the hole in her heart. And the rogue wants to go home.
Xenia rises and heads back into the compound, wending her way through the buildings toward the place they met Alemi last time. Outside, she heads to the front door. Then, recalling what Alemi had said previously about Concentration, she stops before knocking. Instead, the dark rogue quietly slips into the shadows and opens the door to enter.
Maybe best to find out if he's doing anything he can be bothered for before barging in and trying to bother him.
Nauthiz'Ull Thursday August 3rd, 2006 5:56:05 PM
Staying in bed only when he is forced to, Nauth insists on stretching, slight exercise and some shooting practice as the time passes. His body heals well, knowing full well the ravages of blade, tooth and element; at least the scaring is less than when wounded by the Bevroren Doden.
Nauth, like the ulf, will scout and and pick the appropriate time to confront Xenia when she is alone.
"I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done. I was supposed to go into the cave with you and I got sidetracked. I risked your life and I appoligze for that. You did the right thing by fleeing and it turns out that it was the best thing you could have done. I am honored to fight by your side."
Nauth will also find a time where he and his closest wunjo, Garrett, can talk.
"I was close wunjo, really close. I was in the Cave of the Ancients. I was at the wall with Frigga's dagger wunjo. I was there. I am sorry for being an inconveniece for you at Gargalus' compound, you wasted too much of Domi's blessed magic on me; please. if such situation arises again, reserve your powers and see through to the end. You magics are no good if wasted on a dead ranger. It seems as though I have placed hope and faith in a fickle god wunjo and at the hands of my god himself I realized that my wold was crumbling around me; I knew not what to do. His selfishness has destroyed my faith wunjo."
Garrett Thursday August 3rd, 2006 8:43:52 PM
Garrett rememorizes his spells, and heals all the party who are wounded with one of his wands of clw.(just let me know how many charges you want subtracted, I have 2 wands)
Not having much time to get too antsy, Garrett gets a bath, something to eat, and cleans his equipment for whatever may come.
Garrett thinks to himself that he hopes Gargalus from the future remembers who smacked him upside the head and called him out right before he ascended.
Garrett Thursday August 3rd, 2006 8:51:26 PM
In response to Nauth.
"I am glad you were no closer my friend. I much prefer you by my side. And you are no inconvenience, you are my wunjo, and Domi's magic is no more wasted on you, than it is on me. My magic is only wasted if I cannot prevent a dead ranger wunjo."
"In regards to your faith, remember that Gargalus is not yet a god. Whether or not he changes I do not know, but right now, he is merely an evil human wizard. At least you have the option of learning the likely truth and benefitting from it. I would be glad to instruct you in the ways of Domi. I would be honored to stand side by side with you in the afterlife as well as this one."
Domi's Visit (DM JohnP) Thursday August 3rd, 2006 10:03:36 PM Xenia returns to the scene of their earlier battle. As sitting and musing about a fishy looking bard from the far future, she goes back to the cottage where they first met Alemi. When she slips inside the rogue finds the cottage empty. Certainly Alemi is not there and it looks like he hasn't been there since she handed over the fey-thingy.
Back in the building where they are staying, Garrett and Nauthiz'Ull wax lyrical about their near-death experiences.
After a time, Xenia returns. The enforced idleness is wearing, especially after all they've been through in the preceding couple of days.
Towards evening, there is a polite knock on the door. When someone looks, Domi is standing there. He asks permission to enter and, when it is granted, he enters and nods to everyone present.
"My master ... he's ... I don't know how to say. Obsessed over his plan, I guess. And now you brought him this thing. He's locked himself away in his laboratory, not speaking to anyone nor taking food."
"What was that thing that you brought back from Gargalus' lair?"
Appolo Friday August 4th, 2006 11:18:52 AM
Appolo remained quite and relaxed as he healed.Mostly sleeping.Wuite at home.It would seem that the youngman is quite used to strange places and people.
When Domi arrives and asks his question Appolo steps forward."Well it is a very powerful magical artifact created by the Fey King ona whim from what I hear and he gave it to gargulus.It is called the fey stone and is endowed with the fey Kings power.It changed normal creatures into monsters more powerful then the would otherwise be and under the control of Gargulas.One reason you won't be seeing anymore of his creatures is becuase we have the stone,but I don't think Gargulas is to upset about that,outside of the fact he doesn't like getting robbed.He has something else in the works now."
Garrett Friday August 4th, 2006 4:20:07 PM
"It is an item of great power my lord. I believe Alemi wishes to use it to help him focus."
"We will take it with us when we try and return to our own time to try and stop what happens."
Xenia Friday August 4th, 2006 5:47:29 PM
"Well," the dark rogue stands and walks to a nearby window, "one thing he said to us is that he needs a ... um ... what did he say? ... "
"Single-mindedness!!!" The rogue turns as she grasps the word.
"Yeah, that's it! He said that he needed Single-mindedness! Like, you know, concentration and stuff. So ... " The girl rogue begins pacing in a tight square and snapping the fingers of one hand. "So, so, so ... if he's not talking and he's not eating ... I think that's a good thing! It means he's concentrating real hard trying to get to the Creator of the Wold!"
"Right?" She turns to her companions and the rest of them. "That's right. Right?"
Call out the Troops! (DM JohnP) Friday August 4th, 2006 10:16:28 PM
Domi looks back and forth between the party as they answer his questions. He looks as if he is about to speak but then a student on the south wall shouts out,
"Attackers! Coming from the trees! Lots of them!"
Everyone, Domi included, sprints to the top of the wall. The party can groups of the fey-creatures filing out of the trees. Lots of them, at least as many as attacked during their first night here.
Domi turns to the party, a worried look on his face.
"We don't have many defenders! I have to get Alemi, can you guard this wall?"
Xenia (AC21, 55/55 HP) Sunday August 6th, 2006 9:27:03 PM
"HUH!?!" Xenia snatches at the straps of her haversack a the same time she turns to the sound. "Fram," she curses, "we're in it again."
The dark rogue quickly graps a few potions out of her haversack. She downs two right away. One for speed and a second for some wall crawling. Slipping into her haversack, she palms a third potion to for armor, something she'll not drink till just before heading into the fray.
She puffs out a breath, blowing a strand of hair away from her face.
"Lets go," is all she says as she begins sprinting for the wall.

"We'll hold the wall Domi. One way or another. Just keep a lookout for Gargalus or something nastier than we faced last time. Gargalus is not going to send the same cannon fodder he did last time. Especially with us pissing him off. He might even be ballsy enough to come himself this time."
Garrett looks out at the horde of fey coming in to try and get an idea of what kinds of creatures and where they are. (Spot 26) Specifically the trolls we faced recently, the fey that I can easily turn, and anything new that looks nasty.
Go to the Walls (DM JohnP) Monday August 7th, 2006 10:02:10 PM
The party runs to the closest wall, the one to the south. Domi waves at them, shouting something about having to look after Alemi.
The south wall is similar to the wall that the party defended before except for the large gate in the centre. That will make things more difficult especially since they can see many of the fey-trolls leaving the treeline and forming up in preparation for assaulting the walls. It will be a couple rounds before the fey-trolls reach the walls, however, so the party has time to make some preparations.

OOC: Hello all!! Nice to be back from one-week trip to the Wold.
After the encounter with Gargalus, Toros does not appear around for a while. Although he is happy to see everyone alive with the feystone, he cannot justify how all things have developed, especially his uselessness to help Garrett and Nauth to escape from the Future God's temple and compound.
He will run near and ask Domi, "My magic and weapons have been almost useless agains these fey-trolls. However one of your students have a fireball wand, as I remember from the previous encounter. If there is one still available, I could use one such wand that would really do damage on these creatures...!?"
Xenia (AC21, 55/55 HP) d20+20=33 d20+22=31 Tuesday August 8th, 2006 10:42:30 AM
Cloaked in the shadows of the crenellated parapet, Xenia surveys the field on which the forces of Gargulus are approaching. Her voice alone comes from the darkness.
"Hey, guys. You see that?" She points even though there would be few who would see her. "The flying thing in the sky. Sorta reddish. Dunno if that's far away or not. But if I can see it from here ... Well, just wondering how big it is."
With a tindertwig, the rogue lights a torch, and with that torch, she lights others. Some she throws over the wall and to the ground below.
"If you need a fire weapon, there are torches down below," the rogue says from the darkness. "They may not be much. But when a troll's down, you might be able to put them out for good with a good focused hit. (Coup de Gras.) Me and 'Ppolo might be able to keep them down with that."

"When they get here guys, I'm going down front on the ground. I can do much more down there than I can up here. I'll block up one of the entryways and keep them busy. They have a tough time hitting me, and I have the ability to turn the fey."
Danger Young Ranger! Danger! (DM JohnP) Tuesday August 8th, 2006 10:09:26 PM
The party stands on the wall, looking out at the approaching fey-trolls. Appolo is laying in the catapults, trying to arrange to throw flaming balls of pitch at the things.
Xenia makes similar preparations, throwing lit torches over the side that might ignite oil thrown on the creatures.
Toros wants to ask Domi for something but the primal monk has run off to Alemi's laboratory and study. There are no other students on this stretch of wall although they can be seen preparing defenses on the other walls.
Garrett can't see what Xenia pointed out. He casts a spell to improve his mobility during the coming fight.
Nauthiz'Ull simply stands, waiting.
Xenia points out the flying object to Appolo and now everyone can see it. Whatever it is, it's definitely getting closer. But keen eyes might see more ...

Or, if it's not Gargulus and Gargulus is more powerful than that, I'm not sure I wanna be around when he shows up."
Xenia drops out of the shadows, standing on the wall looking out at the approaching storm of war.

"And yeah, we're probably gonna die here. But if I'm going down, I'm taking as many of Gargalus's minions down as I can."
"Do you think somebody should tell Domi and Alemi that Gargalus is flying in on a big dragon?" Garrett yells toward one of the students who looks less actively engaged then others and points at him. "You, go and tell Domi or Alemi that Gargalus himself is coming, and he's riding a dragon! find them as fast as you can."
Garrett will assist in loading and readying the catapults to fire until the bad guys are about three rounds from the base of the tower.

Fire in the Sky! (DM JohnP) Wednesday August 9th, 2006 10:21:20 PM
The fey-trolls move closer and everyone figures that it will be no more than half a minute before the assault on the wall begins. But the dragon and it's rider should arrive about that time, too.
Garrett and Appolo continue to load the catapults, hoping to get off at least couple shots before the battle begins. Xenia seeks the comfort of the shadows instead.
Nauthiz'Ull and Toros simply cower in fear, expecting the worst.

Domi ran off some time ago, looking for his master to warn him of the approaching dangers. Looking back to the other walls, the party can see that the students are preparing to meet the assault as well.

Nauth has been pondering what has been going on and what happened back at Gargalus' compound. How could his god betray him like that? How could his god have been so fickle in his mortality? Why was he worshipping this bastard? There was much to think about, so much so that he did not realize what had been happening, until the horns sounded.
Moving as quick as his disconnected body would allow, Nauth races to the wall along with Garrett and the others. He picks a vial from one of the pouches at his side and drains the contents.

When the real stuff starts, she gulps her potion and dives into shadow. She'll have to figure some way to keep them troll guys from smelling her. A roll in some orc or troll blood should do it. But first you gotta spill some.

Appolo's words help Toros start to regain his composure, and he looks around to find out a good escape route, if things go wrong. (JohnP, could you please give some information regarding such search of an escape route, thanks...) However, in the deep of his hearth the taur wishes to stay to the end - fighting with his friends, instead of run away as last time. Recognition of this deep honorable feeling encourages Toros more and more, helping him to find what he looks for in order to live on honorably not in the Gods but in his own self.
Finally, the Taur is ready for the final fight... at least mentally, even if not yet physically.
Where there's Flame, there's Smoke (DM JohnP) Thursday August 10th, 2006 10:35:59 PM
The red dragon looms closer, and the keen-eyed see the figure atop the dragon motion towards the party. Whoever it is riding the dragon has evidently recognized the party and wants to pay a visit. Somehow the figure on the dragon can communicate with the fey-creatures since they stop their advance on the south wall where the characters are.
All the while, Nauthiz'Ull wracks his brain about dragons. His survival skills tell him that it's going to be difficult, nearly impossible to prevail against an experienced dragon and the fey-creatures. Of course, Appolo knew the same thing.
Hmm ... what does Nauth remember from fireside tales. Red ... breathe fire and like hitting things with their claws and munching on rangers. Or rogues, clerics and just about any adventurer, for that matter, as long as they're slightly charred and still wriggling.
Xenia and Toros both figure that discretion is the way to go. Looking over his shoulder, Toros sees all sorts of barracks and buildings inside the compound where he could hide. And there's all sorts of lovely nooks and crannies where he might try to hide in the shadows.
From all appearances, the rider has directed the dragon to land outside the walls without attacking. Could he or she be seeking to parley with the party?
Of course, the party are free to attack it as it lands if they choose.
DM JohnP - You're getting one round of ranged attacks, if you choose. Or you can dive into melee, if you like. Map will go up tomorrow night and party will keep attacking first.
Appolo Ac 23 Hp59 Friday August 11th, 2006 2:16:50 PM
Appolo watches as the fet creatures stop and the dragon continues to advance.He steps forwat toward the dragon"Toros Xenia you two need to get that stone from Alemi and prepare to get it back to our time and complete the mission.Everyone hold thier fire.Let's see what the dragon rider has to say."
Appolo stands on the peripit and awaits the red menace.
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) Friday August 11th, 2006 4:32:09 PM
Xenia stands ready to trip the pall and send burning pitch down onto the troll guys out on the battlefield.
"'Ppolo, there ain't no bargaining with Evil. 'Sides, this has all happened afore, 'Member?"
The rogue is on a hair trigger, ready to fire at the slightest provocation.

Here's the map, please indicate where you are on the map.
The walls now have ballistas in addition to catapults. I'll include the firing rules, etc. in the DM post. And that will come tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

Put Xenia at E22. She'll be at the Ballista and fire on Flame.

Nauth will take position on 23AB which I assumer is an elevated potion of the undulating wall as in typical medeviel fashion.

Reitterates himselff"Everyone hold thier fire.Xenia Toros go get that Stone and slap Alemi upside the head if you have get both him and Domi out here now."He then turns to watch the drafon come in.

Garrett continues to load catapult at AC21.
"Dragons or Fey, not a great choice. Take down the dragon and it might give the fey reason to second guess their attack. Give us time to get help. Besides if I'm going to die it might as well be against a dragon. What'd you all think."
Toros Monday August 14th, 2006 10:00:54 AM
"I dont think Alemi nor Domi would listen to me, however I will try" says Toros in response to Appolo. "Keep them busy at bay as long as you could!" Then the taur goes after the future gods...
Xenia Monday August 14th, 2006 10:28:26 AM
"Domi went to get Alemi, 'Ppolo!" The girl rogue is on a hair trigger and the tension bleeds from her voice. "He makes one wrong move and I'm gonna stick him with this giant bolt. I'm gonna stick 'im!"
Final Showdown (DM JohnP) Monday August 14th, 2006 10:40:25 PM Xenia is crouched behind a ballista, aligning the huge weapon on the red dragon that crouches outside the walls. Her companions make similar preparations, including Garrett cranking on the catapult. Nauthiz'Ull stands near his companion but doesn't assist with preparing the siege weapon.
Appolo figures that Alemi and Domi will be needed to deal with the combined menace of the dragon and the rider, who he clearly recognizes as Gargalus. He asks that someone go to fetch the future gods and Toros runs to do so.
=======
The dragon's rider slides from the back of the great creature then turns to rest a hand on the beast's neck. Those who are top of the wall clearly see that Gargalus seems to control this great beast.
"So, you made it back here. I owe all of you a debt of gratitude since Alemi would never have taken and used this thing himself if I had offered it. But, if it was stolen by the likes of you, he would use it. And so my plan comes to fruition."
"Great things are afoot here in the Valley but I sense that some prodding is needed. And, since some of you sullied my person by attacking me, I should punish you. But we've already established that you can't hope to stand against me, if you ever do more than simply slink away like the thieves that you are."
"So, Flame here ...."
As he speaks, a sudden change comes over the Compound. In fact, over the entire Valley. As suddenly as the ringing of a bell, everything seems to come to a halt and begins anew. In an instant, the Wold somehow changed. It seems more alive -- the air cleaner and crisper, the light brighter, and the birdsong sweeter.
In the ringing silence, a great cry of pain and loss can be heard from the west. In it's wake, all of the fey-creatures collapse to the ground. It was like their animating force was drawn away.
Toros looks towards Alemi's house and sees a crowd of students clustered around instead of defending the walls. At the centre of the crowd he can see the heads of Alemi and Domi and a third figure.
Outside the wall, Gargalus looks up when he senses the change in the Wold. His superior sneer doesn't fade even though his fey-creatures have all collapsed.
"Flame, my boy, you know what to do. Return to me when you have had enough exercise."
With that, he makes the gestures to teleport away. The red dragon looks across at those who are on the wall, trying to figure whether to start with the main course or have some appetizers first.
NOTES: Tell me where you are on the map or else I will place you someplace.
Ballista -- essentially a Huge crossbow mounted on a post. There is a size penalty for firing this size of weapon: -2 for Large creatures, -4 for Medium and --6 for Small. Loading time is 2 full-round actions for a Medium character, 1 full-round action for Large. Damage is 3d8 (19-20, x2).
Crossbow -- splash siege weapon normally served by a crew. For a single character, 10 turns to wind back, 2 to load, 2 to aim, 1 to fire.
Bright fire screams in the dark rogue's mind. But she fires the Ballista in silence. The *thang* of the enormous crossbow is impossibly loud in the quiet before the storm. From the distance comes a meaty thuk, but the rogue is already gone.
Without a word, she turns and dives off the far corner of the tower, leaping over the battlements and drifting to the ground below.

Toros Tuesday August 15th, 2006 8:39:37 PM
Toros carefully approaches where Domi and Alemi are located, trying to recognize the third person with them.
While coming closer the taur makes his voice heard, "Domi, Alemi, what is going on?" This is questionto address both the sudden change anyone can feel at Wold and the standpoint (literally and physically) of the future good Gods and their students. All is strange!!
Final Showdown (DM JohnP) Tuesday August 15th, 2006 10:50:34 PM Xenia loosed the ballista bolt at the red dragon called Flame, hitting it just under a leg where the scales are thinnest. The creature screams in pain and prepares to fight as Xenia drops off the side of the tower and lands at the base of the wall.
Appolo fires off another ballista bolt that barely misses the future god and buries itself in the sod. Then Appolo leaps off the tower and lands on the wall's fighting platform.
Toros runs towards Alemi, Domi and the third figure. He doesn't immediately recognize the bearded, muscular male figure who stands head and shoulders over either Domi or Alemi. His cries go unheard over the crowd of students. DM Note - Toros is now off the map, feel free to come back.
Garrett and Nauthiz'Ull stand in awe of the dragon's majesty.
========================================
Gargalus completes his spell and teleports away.
Flame mutters something in draconic and then lifts his huge body into the air and flies up and over the wall until he is close to Appolo. The rogue and the others on the wall are amazed at the agility of this great beast and slightly in awe of his might.
Appolo, Garett and Nauthiz'ull, please make Will save DC 24 -- Success means no effect. Failure means Shaken (-2 on attacks, saves, skill checks and ability checks) for 4d6 rounds.
Then the dragon hovers 10 feet over the wall so that Appolo cannot reach it.
DM Note - The non-posters are getting a free pass this turn.
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) d20+22=38 d20+22=30 Wednesday August 16th, 2006 11:23:27 AM
Breathing hard, the rogue listens as leather wings flap somewhere over the edge of the tower above. She could stay here. She could run. Instead, she begins climbing back up the tower.
Melding into the shadows, Xenia climbs like a spider back up the wall. As she rises to the lip of the crenellation, there he is, The Dragon. It's flapping and looking down on something below. The rogue creeps forward, drawing her bow, getting ready for a sneaky shot.

The ranger watches in awe as the majestic creature lands in front of the tower walls. His vantage point is high but open for anything. He is not affraid of the creature, he is enraptured by it.
How can I defeat this thing?
Slowly chanting a few words, the ranger casts one of his milktoast spells that will most likely prolong his death this day. A slight shimmer envelopes his body and the typical heat waves ripple from his body.
"Umm, what are we doing? Are we shooting?"

DM Note (JohnP) Thursday August 17th, 2006 6:24:55 AM
Sorry guys, no post last night and no time this morning. Too much to do and too little time to do it. I'm heading out of town this morning until Sunday. I'll try to post then.
I think someone is supposed to be subbing for Garrett and has forgotten to do so. I also don't want to continue until he had posted, since it won't be fair to dragon-toast someone who isn't moving.

Garrett is obviously affected by the dragon's presence, but still manages to cast shield of faith and move 20' down into the compound using airwalk.
"I hope Alemi and Domi are ready for this thing" he thinks to himself, "because I'm not."

She inches over the top of the wall and hides in the shadow of the ballista with her bow drawn, looking for a weak spot in the dragon's armor. Xenia -- please make a save vs. fear (Will DC 24) or become Shaken
Nauthiz'Ull casts a spell and prepares to fire at the dragon.
Appolo manages not to cower from the dragon that is hovering over him but then he turns and runs away. The dragon bites at the rogue as he moves past and it's needle-like teeth tear into Appolo's back. Flame's bite AoO -- hits AC 45 (Tumble 14 was not sufficient to avoid AoO, and moving through multiple threatened squares), 22 damage
Toros keeps running towards the knot of people clustered around Alemi, Domi and the third figure. He reaches the edge of the crowd and can now see the figure better. Something about that third figure seems familiar ... Toros - Knowledge Religion check, please.
Garrett moves into the compound and sinks towards the ground.
======
Flame screams, "It's no fun at all if all you do is run away! Here I come!
The dragon flies towards the fleeing rogue, dropping as he does. Once he is close enough, Flame whips his neck out to bite at Appolo. The needle teeth sink into the rogue's back again, nearly killing him. Flame's bite -- hits AC 48 (threat), confirmed AC 48, 44 damage
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) d20+4=8 d20+20=22 d20+20=40 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 11:45:07 AM
Holy Stars and Planets! He's so big. The dragon then takes two healthy chomps from Appolo in less than six seconds. Blood sprays, and the dark rogue feels her body betray her and begin trembling with fear.
And he's so fast.
Xenia forces herself forward. The dragon is now going after Garrett.
Gotta get closer.
She dives off the tower and floats to the top of the wall below. Again across the wall to hop over the side and drift to the ground. Though silent as the night, the rogue wavers in her fright and her form flickers in and out of shadow, visible to the vigilant eye.

Shaken by the might of the dragon, Xenia slowly creeps forward and down the wall. She comes to a halt where she might be able to fire, but misses her footsteps while moving. The dragon turns to look at where she is trying to hide.
Thinking that he should meet the dragon's might with magic, Garrett casts a spell that channels the power of a future god. With his new size, he is a better match for the dragon.
Appolo collapses to the ground, his life slowly trickling away.
Nauthiz'Ull hesitates to fire on the dragon. Or anything, in fact.
In the centre of the compound, Toros moves closer to the trio who are surrounded by the students. He pushes some aside as he tries to get closer to the unknown figure. Moving his bulk through the press of students is difficult but he should be close enough next round.
========================================
Flame looks over at where Xenia crouches. "So, the little sneak has decided to come out. Have I mentioned yet how I dislike sneak-thieves? At least you're not a Halfling."
Then he unleashes a furious assault on Garrett, biting at the Protector then slamming him back and forth with claws and wings, and finally slapping with his tail. Flame - bite hits AC 47, 23 damage claw - misses AC 28 claw - hits AC 39, 13 damage wing - misses AC 28 wing - misses AC 27 tail slap - hits AC 36, 24 damage DM JohnP - Please note that Flame's natural weapons are subject to your damage reduction.
Then Flame moves aside, moving closer to the sneak thief.
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) d20+20=34 d20+20=32 Wednesday August 23rd, 2006 10:12:01 PM Fram your Manhole, the rogue replies to the dragon with her inner voice, and in the darkness she makes a vulgar finger gesture in its direction. Then, with all her stealth, she creeps away from the wall. Xenia flickers into view as she crosses out of the shadows of the wall and into the shadows of the nearest building, but then she's gone again.
As she passes Appolo, she draws a potion.

Watching the events unfold, nauth snaps out of his awe-stricken solidity. This dragon is quite different from any of the other dragons that he has ever seen before. It is amazing!
He knows that there is quitel likely little that he can do to this creature but he knows that Garret will not be alone in this battle. Taking a step closer to the edge of the wall, Nauth draws out a stone with odd runes etched into the faces and holds it tightly. he then prays, as ironic as it seems, to Gargul's ways as his body begins to darken and become semi-transparent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ actions 5' step (free) draws thunderstone (move) fails to activate darkwalk ability (standard) - concentration.16

Garrett's blood flies as he is savaged by the dragon. Rarely has he encountered such ferocity, and a creature so easily able to connect with him while protected.
"If I swing back Garrett thinks, he could finish me next round. My only hope is to keep healing myself and hope Alemi and Domi get their butts out here to deal with this thing. If it is occupied with me, perhaps it will forget Toros." Garrett thinks to himself
Garrett then converts greater magic weapon to cure critical and stares down the dragon. "Well snake. Got any better. I'm not use to fighting someone's pet, so forgive me if I don't do as well as usual."
ed. DM JohnP - Are you going to cast defensively again? I'll assume so and make the roll for you. Or you can step away from Flame.
Toros Thursday August 24th, 2006 10:45:32 AM
Toros starts to lose his patience in his attempt to come closer to Alemi and Domi, knowing the time is very limited for his friends at the walls. With one last attempt, he will push his way to the future gods and the third figure next to them.
"Alemi, why are you waiting here doing nothing!? You are stronger than Gargalus and can beat him or his minions!! And Domi, what happened to your courage, how can you stand here doing nothing, while your followers fight for you to death. Come on you must do something!!!!!"

Then she steals across the open area to stand at the corner of a building, drawing a potion from her pouch as she does so.
The dusky rogue is now standing next to Appolo as he gurgles on the ground.
Nauthiz'Ull hops down from the crenellation and tries to enter the shadow realm. He cannot focus his mind though, so he remains wholly in this world. Then he removes a stone from his pouch,
Opting to repair himself, Garrett hunkers down and casts a healing spell. He managed to prevent Flame from attacking him when he does this.
Toros has now pushed his way through the students and shouts at the future gods. The third figure turns from Alemi and Domi and looks directly at the liontaur ... or into his soul. Toros has to withstand that stare if he wants to reply to the words spoken by that radiant being.
"Child, what do you want? What can you and your companions not do for yourselves?"
Will save DC 15 or become Shaken
========================================
"Oooh, a cleric! I like clerics, they usually have nice jingly things! And they fight like girly-men!"
Flame continues to attack Garrett, biting and hitting at the Protector. He batters Garrett, tossing him back and forth and but Garrett remains standing. Then Flame moves away from the Protector. Bite -- hits AC 47, 15 damage Claw -- hits AC 38, 16 damage Claw -- hits AC 34, 15 damage Wing -- hits AC 36, 9 damage Wing -- hits AC 34, 14 damage Tail slap -- hits AC 34, 22 damage

At the corner of the building, Xenia keeps one eye on the Dragon as it pummels poor Garrett. With the other eye, she watches herself as she pops the seal on the potion with her thumb and pours the contents down Appolo's throat.
C'mon, you. Get up. We got dragon baiting to do. And this time, keep out of its way. she thinks to herself.
Then, silent and in the shadows, she creeps closer to Big Red, sneaking to the corner, angling for a shot.
