Flank! Defend![OOC: Just a note: Based upon the picture of the tree, the trunk does not take the same amount of space that the graphic on our map does. I don't think that Kendry needs to scoot off to one side to have a clear shot at the bear. If he does, then have him move to F14 or G14. If not, then not. In any case, should the bear respond to Kendry's taunt (and arrows) and charge toward him, Kendry is prepared to step to one side of the tree, or behind it, to evade the charge, if possible.]
Together friends
Try and get ME
Big white bear!
Fight for Bella
For each other
Angry bear
Meets our warfare
A greenmage and a huge white bearHe looks around, and says, "I love you friends."
Conspired one fine day
"Climb up that tree and saw that limb,"
Bella told the group, oh yea.
Then walked she to a bushy trap
Her voice grew faint and weak
A bear charged out and bellowed loud
Full white and strong and sleek
The travelers were perplexed by this
Strange turning of events
Can we rescue her and 'scape the bear
Or will our flesh he rend?
Confusion, shouts and countermands
The fight went to and fro
Each time a chance to flee arose
A friend was downed by foe
At last at last they overcame
The beast so huge and strong
And Bella healed wounds - o yea
And we live to sing this song! hey!
And we live to sing this song!
DM Cayzle: MTWTF 5Good posting, all! The team heads into the Red Hills. They find a group of hobgoblins and dire wolves (and more?) just setting up camp. Attack? Bypass?

Our homeland, fertile valleyHe then begins the next verse.
Where peacefully we grow
Farmers make deep furrows
Tall wheat, sweet corn we sow
At harvest time we rally
All gather and winnow
To share among our burrows
And watch our families grow
With a hey-nanny-nanny no
Hey-nonny-nonny nah
Jump up high and slap the feet
Hey-nanny-nanny no
Hey-nonny-nonny nah
Twirl around and kiss her sweet
In wintertime our pipes we smokeHowever, as he sings the second part of the second verse:
And speak of times of yore
Gathering round the warming hearth
Sweet milk or ale poured
As young and old hear tales spoke--on the word 'heart' the caltrop proves too hard a pick for the strings, as one snaps with a twang and slaps Kendry across the lips.
Though eldest may just snore
Laugh or cry, or touch the heart
My Dearest Airin,His letter goes on to describe details of their visit, and he sends a page of sketches of the people, plants and animals at the cottage / burrow.
We made it safely to Aunt Nilli's place here in The Culverwood. My great grandparents on my mother's side - Granmama Onions and Granpapa Grapes - live here with her. Nobody here to take advantage of Nilli's midwifery skills at the moment. Her black displacer cat with its wavy tentacles and shifting image greeted us at the door, and we were welcomed warmly by Nilli and the grandfolk.
We just decided to head a day or two to the west. Seems there is a waterfall - one of the streams from The Scab that adds its flow to the Peaseblossom River - where, according to a satyr whom Nilli knows, dwells a little fey dragon. What some people call a pseudodragon - but Bella says maybe we shouldn't call one a 'pseudo' dragon if we meet one. Might be a bit sensitive. Well, you know about that - you heard her say it with your own ears.He seals the letter with string and wax and turns it over to Nilli. He gives her a big hug, and a kiss on each cheek. He hugs Granmama Dekki Onions goodbye, and gives Granpapa Landry Grapes a firm handshake and a big smile. "I LIKE YOUR CARVINGS, GRANPAPA!"
Seems like I've been away from you for so long. Love you!
Your Kendry
Duncan speaks with eloquent hands[Perform (singing): 31]
For though his voice is mute
He moves with grace, speed and elan
And charms the girls with smile cute
Nalfein is my older brother
Sharp of wit and right in charge
Helped us start our first adventure
Riverboat and battle large
Many are our friends and true
With us now or far away
Come or go, yet hearts firm knit
In love of them may we commit
Never their memory to betray
Polly always runs so fastKendry sings of many others, recalling some act, or virtue, or characteristic of the many who have adventured with them. Olo's cooking and bushy hair; Willoughby's love for nature; Shale's heroic charge and fight against the goblins; Mayzie's upbringing among the elves, and her refined taste; Bobbles the goblin and Lomar the ogre; Patterton - big Patty, huge and tough and loyal, and in love with his sister; and Airin, of course, whom Kendry loves. He goes on about Morpth's fall and odd redemption; and Dwight - mysterious, talented, surprising friend. Podo, cousin, monk, devotee of Domi and Alemi, volatile as the flame, and loyal to the end; curious Kleel and his big badger; Aya, servant of Gargul; Tobias, ranger, and cousin, and right arm in battle; Julian the restless and brave; Tibbles the incomprehensible and woods-bonded fellow. He even has a light verse about newcomer Marco!
Quick to come to others' aid
Cousin, she, we saw her last
After beer for Calfast's play
Selithe, sister mine thou art
Sweet as honey from the comb
Dear ones come and then depart
Yet dear they are though far they roam
Many are our friends and true
With us now or far away
Come or go, yet hearts firm knit
In love of them may we commit
Never their memory to betray
Many are our friends and trueChanging the key, he quickly sings a new and different song:
With us now or far away
Come or go, yet hearts firm knit
In love of them may we commit
Never their memory to betray
Together now we seek new friendsKendry stands, holding lute in hand, and takes a fresh look about. "I'm thirsty!"
Healing to bring throughout the land
Finding those who help us brew
Libations for dark minds to cure
Might there be watching from above
A bright new friend with wings of love?
A bright new friend with wings of love?
Fa la-la la-la la-la
Aye, we seek to free the bounden slaveBy the end of the round, he is 60 feet in the air. He wonders if his sky bombs might cause those beneath him to scatter.
So fight we all with might and main
Dispel the magic of our foes
And free the prisoner of his woes
So fight, my friends, now fight to save!
They flee they fly...is the best he can come up with to continue inspiring courage in his friends and comrades.
Away they run
Now free our friend and kick their buns!
The Culverwood where many dwell"Blessings upon you and this peaceful pool, fair dragon. I shall show our friends your picture, and speak of how you helped us."
Has wondrous places, people, things
Of one most charming I must tell:
A wee bright one with iridescent wings
She dwells right near a pool so sweet
It maketh wise the one who bathes
Good friends the dragonette does treat
Especially him who music plays
Be not her foe unless it's clear
Sleep eludes you come what may
For sharp her tail as a spear
Grown creatures heed her lullaby
Thank you, Krrshekki, for your gift
May it help heal many who
Fell under illness, minds adrift
Cured by Bella's healing brew
The Culverwood where many dwell
Has wondrous places, people, things
Of one most charming I must tell:
A wee bright one with flashing wings
The Culverwood where many dwell"We bested your beautiful bear. We brought the homunculus. We bring the sleepy drug of the wee faerie dragon.
Has wondrous places, people, things
Of one most charming I must tell:
A wee bright one with iridescent wings
Thank you, Krrshekki, for your gift
May it help heal many who
Fell under illness, minds adrift
Cured by Bella's healing brew
Bella is a complex woman. She has her enthusiasms, her fears, her friends, her foes. No less than three - or was it four? outstanding individuals recommended we join with her.He writes another letter to Airin, and wonders when she might again travel with him...
May she grieve well for her little Herbert - and find steel in her soul to carry forth her righteous plan.
You took something of mine. I understand that it is still intact. I want it back, and I would be willing to negotiate terms. All things considered, I think this is most reasonable. Contact the Dourscale branch of the Mailed Fist. As neutral ground, this should be a safe place for us all to discuss terms."This was written by Flavius Aetius. We 'borrowed' his homunculus recently for B... Heather's work. He would like it back. Thought you all should know that he knows where we live. Let's keep that in mind as we make plans for the near future."
"As for the loot, 400 pp still doesn't go quite far enough split 11 ways (9 members+tithe+party damage control stash). If she had left 407 pp it would have been an even split. Anyways, I think 36 pp isn't anything to shake a stick at. I'd say the extra 4pp go towards buying some pearls to identify some stuff."See also Dwight's post on Sunday February 11th, 2007 5:43:24 PM. He explains it pretty well.
Tibs: We follow behind you. Wait up! You got about a twelve hour headstart. -KLPBackspace:
The flying killer we attack(Inspire courage: Perform, Singing: 31) He steps to V16. His bow he keeps in his left hand.
Who felled a halfling from his back
Now she sees just what takes place as
Halflings readied now she faces
1st sketch, Tobias swinging twin swords as the winged lion bites into his thigh, Craft, drawing: 26;He gathers a few metal feathers from the lion, too. If there are non-metallic feathers, he'll take a few of those, too.
2nd sketch, Julian charging on the back of Badger, an instant before the moment of impact, with Tobias in the background: 21;
3rd sketch, group portrait lined up on either side of lion: 23; 4th sketch, lion sunning herself on rock: 26 (man, good sketches!);
5th sketch, flying lion whipping metal tail feathers in arc against the party members: 8 - he crumples his first attempt; 9 - second attempt; 14 - he keeps his third attempt, but decides to return to that at a later date.
Beard we the lion in his den?he sings out in an effort to inspire courage [Perform, singing: 18].
Brave we, bold we, enter in.
Though sharpened feathers cut the air...his song continues. He nocks an arrow and draws his bow, taking aim.
Soon lion's skin will leave this cave
My bonnie lass gives fair answer
Let Sharles go with peace to grave
Lion, if you now lie down,He does not expect his friends to stop attacking unless the lion complies with the words he sung out - in common.
Stop attacking my dear friends
Then listen to your words we might
Else you'll die - the choice is yours
Fearsome power in feline formHe gives a nod, again, to Julian, thanking him wordlessly for his suggestion and action.
Winged to prey from daybright skies
Now may rest the cats who reigned
Over crevasse, over plain
Let flames aloft bear her who died
Though terror's gone, lost strength we mourn
