Having leaned nothing from detect Scry. (ooc: You were Ethereal and then Detect Scry magic dosn't cross to the prime material plane.) Reporting what she saw she teleports with the Fisher family back to the unfinished keep.
Feeling like a target, Malgant warns the other refugees of possible trouble.
Surprised by Vauhwyt departure, Aztyr considers her reaming magic.
Opting to forgo the disguise hat, Vorelle prepares for a long night.
Concerned the Uncle, his servants and several refuges offer to help stand watch. (base spot checks, enough for 1 extra per watch.) Vorelle and Champ are standing watch any others? Any other special preparations?

Malgant considers his remaining prayers and decides to stand watch throughout the night with any others that wish to stay awake. Heartened by the courage of the refugees Malgant does his best to keep them awake and mildly entertained during the long night. He tells them tales of his church and the exploits of some of the notable clergy. Probably he bores them to death. But he does make sure his voice is loud enough that approaching assailants will hear him and perhaps choose not to make tonight their night to attack. In the morning, before he prays to Imod for his daily prayers, he thanks him for the ability to have remained vigilant throughout the night ( cast Lesser restoration to remove my fatigued state).

Valanthe should have noticed the zookeeper sooner. It all makes sense. The zookeeper wouldn't be able to capture a unicorn on his own. It would take somebody with some pretty intense magical power to capture a unicorn. Plus it would take some low morals to willingly sell such a creature.
"So what's our plan?"

Aztyr takes the first shift, if possible, requireing a straight four hours of rest to insure that she regains her magical power come morning. During her shift she'll tell tales of the groups adventures if those watching with her are interested. She also commands her hat to make her look like a holy warrior again, rather than the weary magician that she is...

When Vauhwyt returns she finds Appolo and the girls sitting on the dock with fishing poles fishing.Hew is still halfnaked his armour andweapons put up>Everyone can see his tattos.His whole body seems to be covered with them and looking closely enough ti tells his life story.All the people he's met,those of note that he has killed,battles fuaght,love won and lost.Ships sinking.Symbols for all the gods good bad and indifferent evena few that died and never came back.He is telling the girls about the time he went nose to nose with the Great Dragon Lady Maab,having already told them about having gone nose to nose with Gargul on more then one occassion.How he even managed to make the old god luagh once.Appolo although young has had quite alife.He also related his stories to Good win who has been putting them down on paper for posterity.
Appolo sees that Vaughwyt has broughta family,against his advice.He puts his pole down and walks over to them.His brozen sun baked tattoed skin,hait longer then most elves are tall,He has a small knife in his hand"Welcome to our home and yours now as well.My names Appolo.Pirate of Jack,member Swords of Redemption and slayer of the heartseeded,enemy of G'aal."

Malgant answers Val, "I planned to wait for them to rush us. We kill as many as stand and fight and see if the zookeeper will talk. If he does, then great, if not then we send him to Gargul as well unless he can offer us some reason not to. Yes, that's cold and harsh, but I am not going to leave someone desperate enough to attack us around for a second shot at it. Or a second shot at those who want only a new unoppressed life." He looks at the refugees. Willing to stand and fight for their freedom and a new start in a different place. He is proud of them. He is also afraid. He pushes the images of his young priesthood away. The paralyzed militia, eyes pleading for him to save them and him unable to reach them in time."I can see the wheels spinning in your head dear, what am I missing that we should watch out for? Do you think he is a caster of some kind? What makes you frown so at the prospect of fighting him?"

Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Evil) d100=30 ; d100=63 ; Tuesday September 7th, 2010 9:03:52 PM
Vauhwyt sees the worry in Aztyr's eyes as she leaves with four of the five members of the fisher family. She realizes that she has to make two more trips today.
She sees Appolo's trepidation in his eyes and hears the warm welcome he gives the Fishers. She takes a private moment to thank him with a hug and a whisper. "You're the best, my friend! Thanks!" She tells Appolo all about the zookeeper, his evil master, and more.
She also asks the unicorn how he was captured, and if he can shed any light on these matters. Why was he captured? What evil plan does the Master have in mind?
She takes Mookie and blips back, not wearing her armor. She has to go get the fifth Fisher, and she has to drop off Mookie. This is her second TP of the day, of four.
Teleport error = 30 = no problem.
She leaves Mookie with the group here. She casts Extended Magic Weapon on Mal's weapon. Maybe she can get a Magic Vestment from him for her buckler.
If there is an attack, she will sense Mookie's terror and come back with Appolo. She goes back, with the fifth member of the Fisher family and any other refugees who prefer the edge of Blackbird Forest to a possible attack with the main party.
Third TP of the day = error = 63 = no problem.
That night, she stays alert for Mookie to give a warning. She keeps Appolo near. She keeps geared up. If there is an attack, she will grab Appolo and TP to the party. If Mookie is worried but not in terror, she will be able to cast some prep spells, like Heroism and Resist Energy and Blink and Exp Retreat, etc etc.
Current Spells in Effect: Detect Scrying. False Life. Extended Magic Weapon (Mal). Extended Magic Weapon (her own armor spikes). More complete spell list including slots available to come.

We will gladly keep Mookie with us though so that you will know if we are threatened. I also have more sendings to brief you hopefully before you arrive. Now it is up to the Zookeeper and his employer."

She holds up her right hand and shows Vorelle a plain silver ring, with a very small chain of "Eights" encircling the band top to bottom all the way around it. "With this on Vorelle, I only need part of a full night. Even if it's less than half of a night, I get fully rested. It's an absolutly lovely magic ring. I only actually have to eat when I want too. Although I do love eating. It refreshes my mind in only a quarter of the time usually needed, so four hours is more than enough rest time." If asked she'll tell Vorelle it's a Ring of Sustanance. And worth twice the price in her opinion.

It is nearing midnight in the camp, the sun has set four hours ago. It is one third of the way through the watches 8pm-8am. It is slightly overcast and the moons haven't risen yet, so darkness rules the land except where fires burn. Malgant is telling stories to any still awake, around the campfire. Aztyr would have just finished her first shift. Valanthe and Vorelle have flipped for second and third watch with Valanthe taking second has just gotten up. (assuming 3 four hour watches). There are maybe 3 other adults still awake. One looks up and nervously ask "Did anyone hear that?"
Listen check DC20 Highlight to display spoiler: {You hear a low rumbling sound as if something large it moving quickly along the road near the camp.}
At the Unfinished Keep:
Appolo and Vauhwyt are keeping watch over the sleeping harpy fledglings and the Fisher family. After teleporting two more times Vauhwyt has the whole family with her and Mookie is with Malgant at the uncle's tent and camp. Dul is in owl from keeping watch from a tree branch, Goodwin is asleep. The Unicorn is resting nearby.
Vauhwyt doesn't learn much from the Unicorn, it remembers drinking from a pure spring when everything when dark and it awoke some time later chained and in the zookeeper's wagon away from it's forest so it couldn't teleport. The zookeeper's said he was paid a lot of coin to capture a unicorn alive, but not what the buyer wanted with one. The unicorn isn't sure what the zookeeper used since it is immune to poison and most enchantments.

MN11-12 assuming 5' squares as a starting location. Malgant would be sure to place himself nearest the road, assuming any attack would probably come from that direction.
Stopping in mid sentance Malgant says, " Hear what? I hear nothing but the night sounds of a camp of people making ready to caravan tomorrow morning. What do you hear?" Not in any way discounting the person's ears, Malgant stands up and settles Matilda's Stand on his left arm and draws his blade with his right hand. Facing out into the darkness he challenges whatever might be there." Show yourself. If you be of good intent step forward and be identified. If ye be of evil intent, step forward and take comfort in Garguls embrace delivered at my hand." In a quieter tone Malgant addresses Mookie, who should be roosting somewhere nearby. " I know not what comes, be ready to warn Vauhwyt if it is trouble." Then to one of the refugees, "Wake the others in the tent and have them make ready, tell them what you heard as well. What types of animals did the zookeeper have in his zoo?"

Aztyr, just settling in to get some rest after having taken her shift on guard duty, hears Malgant's challenge. She reaches out and moves the tent flap enough to see out of it and see just what's going on. If nothing comes of it, she'll settle back down and get ready to get some sleep... But for right now, she's as prepared for most anything, or at least as prepared as she can be....

Adurath fair & Blackbird forest (Dm Glenn) Thursday September 9th, 2010 11:34:52 AM
Malgant questions the man who thinks he heard something. The adult says "A low rumble along the road?". Taking a stand Malgant bellows a challenge to the darkness. The adult who heard something goes to wake the others in the tent.
Having settled in the tent, Aztyr hears the man and Malgant talking then Mal's challenge, followed shortly by one of the adults coming to wake her.
Mookie sends a empathic message to Vauhwyt. He dosn't hear anything.
At the unfinished Keep, Vauhwyt is alerted and comments to Appolo. Appolo grumbles about the others getting into trouble. He awakens Goodwin letting him know he and Appolo my be gone for a little while.
Asleep Vorelle, hears something and rubs the sleep from her eyes as she gets up.
On Watch, Valanthe hears the low rumble coming fast along the road.
Out of the dark Malgant's challenge is answered by as several beast and handlers come charging up. The low rumble becomes more of a loud thunder as a Dire bear, and Rust Monster(rust) run forward. In the air is a Cockatrice (coc), just at the edge of your vision are the zookeeper (zok), two brawny animal handlers (H1 & H2), A basilisk (Bas) and Deinonychus (Dei). They are all running so they lose their dex to AC, except for the bear who has run feat.
Spot DC20 Highlight to display spoiler: {One of the handlers have some rains to the basilisk controlling some sort of blinders. }

Malgant takes only a moment to assess the grouping of creatures rushing toward them. He realizes that with all of those different types of attacks this could rapidly become a bad situation. Then he looks closer and smiles. Their different speeds have grouped them, perfectly. Calling out to Imod Malgant causes a blinding curtain of whirling blades to come into existance. He forms a ring from the blades and centers it on the Zookeeper( Cast blade barrier. I should get a 6 square radius ring of blades. Centering it on the zookeeper SHOULD trap the zookeeper,H1,H2, the Basalisk, Rust Monster and the Deinonychus inside the ring. If they want to run through it they will make a reflex save DC 20. Success will halve their damage. 39 damage rolled.) Calling to the three adults that have chosen to help Malgant directs them to what he hopes is a relatively safe job that still includes them in the fight." You three guard the opening to the Uncle' Tent. Allow none of these creatures to pass. Val and I will get the bear. Aztyr, Vorelle, and Appolo see what you can do to kill that bird Vauhwyt once you regain your wind, help out where you can." More quietly, over the Message spell Vauhwyt enacted earlier he adds" If that rust monster gets through I will need the ranged people to switch to it as fast as possible. I am afraid it will seriously harm Valanthe and my ability to keep fighting if it reaches us. As always, if those guys inside the blade ring bunch up Roast them Aztyr, but for now concentrate on that chicken."

Panicking Mookie hides, while Vauhwyt feels Mookie's fear. The liontaur teleports with Appolo to the battle.
Worried, Malgant sees an opportunity to entrap several of their foe. Then calls on the adults to guard the tent. Resisting the urge to flee they instead guard the tent.
Sending a ray of purple death at the Cockatrice, Aztyr hits it. The Cockatrice fails to save (fort 11) and turn to dust with a zap and pop. (minimum damage for Aztry is 26 it had 27. toast!)
Vorelle fires from beside the wagon, since the cockatrice is dead next closes target in sight is the first Handler who the ranger easily hits even with the cover of the blade barrier.
Waiting for the magic to soften the foes up, Appolo turns invisible and speedy.
Foe:
Trapped the zookeeper barks orders to his companions telling the bear to attack the elf warrior (move action, Handle Animal: {auto}) , as he shifts and taking a arrows to his bow fires at Malgant (hit ac 32 dam 18 ) the arrow hit causing a sever wound to the large minotaur. The cover from the blade barrier doesn't seem to affect his aim.
The bear moves forward attacking Valanthe (claw hit ac 21) missing the elf warrior.
The Handler and Basilisk move forward, the Handler directs the basilisk to gaze at Malgant through the blade barrier (gaze fortitude DC13 or turn to stone permanently)
The other handler moves to the far side of the blades calling the rust monster to his side.
A winter wolf comes bounding unseen out of the darkness and breaths his fuzzing breath upon Vorelle, Vauhwyt and Mookie (Cold dam 11 Reflex save DC16 for half 5 Mookie and Vorelle get a cover save bonus of +2 )
(Edit 3:37pm : Forgot to add ranger monstrous humanoid +6 damage to each arrow for Mal. Should be 38+18=56 total). (Edit 3:42pm: 30ft range on many shots so only one arrow at Mal for a total of 18. Sorry).

Valanthe shifts to her left (5' step to k13). She keeps her shield up, trusting the enchanted mithril to deflect the claws. The bear's massive strength could still be a problem. Valanthe smiles and tightens her grip on Gargul's fist. Valanthe focused on the bear and the sounds of battle all around her faded to softer background noise. It has been too long since the hordes of undead and her blood yearns for this battle. Valanthe lets out a loud battle cry as she slides her shield aside. Gargul's fist comes in hard, striking out for the dire bear's large maw of teeth.
ooc: power attack -5 / +5. First attack hits ac 23 for 21. Second Attack is a crit. AC 19 to confirm. 65 dmg if it is a crit (the damage is actually 3d8+51 but the scale only goes to 50) 23 if it is not. 3rd attack hits ac 21 for 21

It is almost certainly assured now. He hears a messy sound of bone and flesh being crushed and looks to his left to see Valanthe slam the dire bear with Gargul's Fist. With the cockatrice down, the bear, in Valanthe's capable hands the only pressing matter is the winter wolf. He knows Appolo is lurking somewhere back there so he expects the wolf to die shortly.

Vorelle dodges the frosty breath of the Winter Wolf [Reflex save 29; Evasion].
She steps back and unloads a full volley of arrows on the Wolf.
[Step to Q-5. Hit AC 32 for 14 damage; hit AC 22 for 14 damage; hit AC 23 for 13 damage; hit AC 18 for 9 damage. To-hit rolls above do not include Point-Blank shot, which I have added in here. Damage rolls assume the Winter Wolf is a Magical Beast, which I think it is. If I'm wrong about that, each damage roll should be 4 less.]

OOC Um Appolo, if you move you get a single attack, and there is no sneak attack damage added to your posts above. It looks like you might have skipped it.
Spells cast today: Four 5th level spells, all Teleports. Four 4th level spells, Detect Scrying and three Stone Shapes back at Blackbird Keep. Three 3rd level spells, Extended Magic Weapon (on Mal). Extended Magic Weapon (her own armor spikes). Heroism, before spying on the zookeeper. Two 2nd level spells, False Life, Alter Self.
Spells still in effect: Both extended Magic Weapons, the Detect Scrying, and the False Life. The extra hit points for the False Life (1d10+10) were never rolled, so here goes: 17. Not shared with Mookie, BTW.
Current spell slot status:
0 of 6 cantrips used 0 of 7 1st level spells used 2 of 7 2nd level spells used 3 of 6 3rd level spells used 4 of 6 4th level spells used 4 of 4 5th level spells used
Current HP and AC: Vauwhyt: 101+17=118 hp; AC21 Mookie: 50 hp; AC15
This Round's Events
Two saves vs cold breath: Vauhwyt 27 no damage with evasion; Mookie 23 no damage with improved evasion. Cover bonus not needed.
What's the luck bonus on Vauwhyt's armor spikes this round? +1.
Mookie's action: The raven moves into Vauhwyt's space and into his accustomed belt pouch for hiding. "You go get them, Boss!" he says.
Appolo moves invisibly behind the wolf and sneak attacks it, getting one attack and sneak attack damage. I'm assuming he's in W4, X4, or X5. Vauhwyt takes a five foot step to T-U-7-8. Then, flanking Appolo, she makes a full attack: Two paws and two hits with her armor spikes.
First armor spikes hits AC23 for 1d8+6+4d6 sneak att damage = 9+15=24 damage.
Second armor spikes at -5 hits AC29 for 8+10=18.
Two paws hit AC20 and AC28 for 4+14=18 and 3+11=14.
If it is AC20 or worse, the wolf takes 24+18+18+14 = 74 damage. If it is AC21-23, it takes 24+18+14 = 56 damage. If it is AC24-28, it takes 18+14 = 32 damage. If it is AC29, it takes 18 damage. If it is AC30 or better, it takes 0 damage.

Shifting, Valanthe issues a battle cry as she strikes the bear three times hard breaking some of it teeth. The attack is so fierce and powerful that it knocks the bear down in one round. Failing to kill the bear out right (massive damage save 20 vs DC15) , he will be dead shortly, but not likely to cause anymore problems.
Not turning to stone, Malgant calls down a column of divine fire upon the zookeeper and dino. Dino avoids some of the attack (reflex 28) as does the zookeeper (reflex 37), but he is getting hot also they seem resistant to the fire part of the attack. The Minotaur calls for someone to take out the rust monster!
Ceasing an opportunity, Aztyr drops a fireball upon Rusty, Basalisk, and their two handlers. All take a full force of the blast (saves: 15, 19, 11, 19). The Rust monster is toast, the other three are singed, but still standing.
Moving quickly, Appolo circles around the winter wolf to stabs it. The wolf smelling him takes a swap at Appolo (AoO hit ac 8) but misses badly. Appolo wounds the beast deeply as it howls in pain. (OOC: Only get one attack with a standard action after you take the move action too. Need a full action to get more than one attack. Damage??? short sword is 1d6+5 +1d6shocking burst Sneak is 6d6 dm roll=36 total. Also, the wolf is able to detect anyone within 5ft of it by sent.)
Avoiding the frosty breath, Vorelle fires a volley of arrows into the winter wolf hitting it all four times with each arrow striking deeply. The wolf continues to howl in pain, as it falls to the ground thrashing in it's death throws.
Both Vauhwyt and Mookie avoid the frost! Mookie hides in the liontaur's pouch as she steps forward to finish off the dying Winter wolf.
Foe:
Trapped the zookeeper snarls as the group kills several of his beast, clicking his boots he fires five special arrows at Malgant (Range hit Ac 38, 36, 31, 28, 30 Non lethal dam {5+6+12}=23, {4+3+12}=19, {7+1+12}=20, {3+5+12}=19 total 81 ) one misses, but the other four strike the large minotaur each one stinging like mad!
Still smoldering Handler and Basilisk shift forward, the Handler directs the basilisk to gaze at Valanthe after the way she took out the bear he's worried. (gaze fortitude DC13 or turn to stone permanently)
A Quasit appearing out of nowhere, right in front of Aztyr as it claws and bits at the Liontuar (hit ac claws 26, 18, bite 12 dam 2, 1 Plus two poison attacks fort DC13 or take 2 & 4 of Dex damage.) the little demon snarls and hisses at Aztyr!
The adult guard jumps back from the sudden appearance of the Quasit.

Aztyr is shocked as she gets attacked from out of the blue. She imagines this is what it feels like when she does it to others. She easily shakes off whatever poison the demon is useing. She points her index finger at the Quasit and releases a stream of missiles at the tiny deamon. (cast Magic Missile) As she's casting she again yells at the volunteer guard, "Head to the big tent, if anything else tries to attack, just yell for help. We'll get as fast as we can. Now GO!!"

OOC Aztyr, you might need a Spell Penetration roll. Its a puny demon/devil thingee but a demon/devil nonetheless.
IC Malgant is staggered by the arrows. Catching his breath he realizes that this is why he likes being held in the grasp of Imod's Righteous Might. Arrows from pissant evil creatures hurt alot less when he is in Imod's grasp. Nonetheless he is here now and the world is swimming before his eyes. He could heal the damage, but the zookeeper seems to have it in for him and he can only heal so much at a time. Imod taught that problems did not always need to be solved with death. So instead, Malgant steps forward to J-K/9-10 Malgant tries another path. He utters a word so terrible that it causes the zookeeper to go blind. ( cast Power Word Blind, no save, zookeeper is blinded for a duration based on his current hit points, I am assuming it will be between 2-5 rounds and 2-5 minutes, probably rounds) Then in what he hopes is a clear voice, Malgant calls out to him," Eventually your quiver will run dry, yet my faith is as deep as the sea. Drop your bow and call off your pets. Tell us who sent you and we will let the local authorities deal with you. The upside to this is they probably won't kill you. We however may not be so kind. Choose."

Valanthe shrugs off the Basilisks gaze. She seems unconcerned with the deadly monster for the moment as she crouches down before the massive bear. Valanthe may have been hardened by that infernal machine but she still had the soul of a wood elf. She reverses the grip on her warhammer and brushes her fingers across the top of the dire bear's head. A tear rolled down her cheek as she let the sorrow take hold. This wasn't the bear's fault. It wasn't an evil monster. It had the unfortunate luck of being captured by the zookeeper.
"Somebody please heal this bear before it dies. It was not at fault here."
(OOC: I couldn't find any listed potions on my sheet otherwise I would have done it)
Valanthe stands up and gazes at the zookeeper with fire in her eyes. She holds out her arm, pointing at the zookeeper. "Zookeeper we are going to have a nice long talk about the proper treatment of animals! Don't think a wall of whirling blades will stop me. There is no place you can go where I will not hunt you down!"
OOC: Intimidation check 32. She doesn't know he's blind but she sounds might angry.

Shocked by the surprises attack, Aztyr sends a stream of magic missiles at the Quasit. The stream of missiles hit the little demon causing it to collapse to the ground. Yelling to the three adults guards, gets them moving. They quickly disappear into the big tent.
Feeling the sting of the arrows, Malgant utters a word of power to blind the zookeeper. The eye's go wide as they lose the power of sight. The Minotuar calls on the zookeeper to surrender!
Shifting again, Vorelle sends a volley of arrows at the basilisk hitting it all four times. The basilisk drops dead.
Unaffected by the Basilisk gaze, Valanthe feels for the bear, as she tries to intimidate the now blind zookeeper. He seems to be shaken by her threats as his skin pales a little.
Foe:
The two animal handler's look at one another then throw down their clubs, then speaking to the zookeeper "You don't pay us enough to die! They've killed all the animals except for you precious pet lizard. " They both raise their hands in surrender.
The blind and shaken zookeeper curses and throws down his weapons, "I should have know dealing with him would turn out bad. I surrender!"

Valanthe resists the urge to go over there and smash the zookeepers head in. She drops Gargul's Fist and fishes out a potion of cure serious wounds. Valanthe tears the cork free with her teeth, spitting it aside.(7+5+2+5 fixed = 19 damage healed)
"Just hold on. This is probably going to hurt a little."
Valanthe does her best to tilt the bears massive head and pour the potion down its throat. Seeing the mangled maw gave Valanthe second thoughts about what she did. At the time those teeth seemed like the biggest threat.
OOC: could somebody roll the potion results for me? I'm at work right now. (rolled it for you. Malgant)

OOC Are you wasting charges of haste Appolo? You are not invisible, and I find it doubtful you are hasted. Clean up your headers. Also, just because everyone surrendered doesn't mean the 13 MINUTE long blade barrier is gone. I have some other pressing matters to deal with before it disappears, like not passing out. Start thinking what we want to know from these guys. Val and Vauhwyt you can draw straws on who asks the questions. Vauhwyt has the charisma for it, but he is already afraid of Val. Your call. Of course bad cop worse cop could work too. I propose we take custody of the remaining animals and send them with Vauhwyt to the lake refuge. They can be released into the woods. Being animals the forest should accept them,no?
IC Malgant inwardly sighs in relief. He could have healed the bear at the same time as he healed himself, but Valanthe has already taken care of it. On to other pressing matters... " Vorelle, can you calm the bear so that it does not attack us when it regains it's senses. I agree it is not the animal's fault, but I can't have it running around mauling people. We are armored and ready to deal with it, those in the tent would not fare as well I fear. Zookeeper, calm your dinosaur and make it safe, muzzle it, whatever you need to do to keep it from suffering a fate similar to these other creatures. Aztyr,Vauhwyt,Appolo, watch him. If he appears to be doing anything other than surrendering, reprimand him, harshly." Malgant looks at the others, and sees that he is the only one hurt aside from a minor scratch on Aztyr. He does not want to use his major heal spell yet, in case it is needed later in the evening. Instead he casts a lesser healing spell.( spontaneously Cast Cure Critical Wounds using a Sending spell 4+8+4+7+13=36 healing which restores 54 hit points, 18 real damage and 36 nonleathal I rerolled the 1 since woldian healing is never a 1) " My friends, I will drop the Blade Barrier once the animals are under control. Please honor my bargain and do not kill them. Once we have gotten some answers they will be turned over to the watch on attempted murder charges. " Malgant then calls over his shoulder to the refugee guards in the tent. Once they have interrogated the zookeeper he will send the refugee guards to the town watch to have the watch take custody of the men.

Oh well. She thought to herself. She notices that the Quasit is still twitching, and since it is a Demon, she feels no compunction to taking the time to stomp on it. (Coup de grace) After it's good and truely dead, Aztyr will collect one of it's teeth and put it in her totem bag. She will also collect a small amout of the dust from the cocatrice and one of the antennae from the rust monster after Malgant drops the Blade Barrier. Both also going into her totem bag. Aztyr will mostly rely on the others to say something if the Zookeeper starts doing something out of line. She also has a few questions as to why they were attacked....

Vorelle kneels next to the massive bear. She feels the same way as Valanthe about the bear--and all the animals, really. Yet again, she feels a pang for the beautiful Winter Wolf.
But her concern right now is the bear. Moving slowly, keeping her voice and manner non-threatening, she attempts to persuade the bear that everthing is all right now, and that nobody is going to hurt it.
[Wild Empathy 25]
Adurath fair & Blackbird forest (Dm Glenn) Wednesday September 15th, 2010 9:49:09 AM
Valanthe, uses a potion of cure serious to heal the injured Dire Bear, it is more than enough to save it's life. The bear starts to come around as Vorelle users her wild empathy to calm it and the handlers order it to stand down. The bear doesn't seem to want anymore fight right now.
Being cautious, Vauhwyt uses magic to become huge.
Appolo approaches the zookeeper starts to question him through the blade barrier.
Malgant leaves the blade barrier up for a few moments as he heals himself and sees that the animals are under control. The zookeeper directs the dinosaur not to attack.
Meanwhile, Aztyr takes the time to finish off the Quasit demon, by stomping on it, then goes about collecting bits of the dead animals.
Vauhwyt waits watching the enemies, as Vorelle continues to calm the bear.
The zookeeper and handlers have thrown down their weapons and surrenderer, still standing inside the blade barrier awaiting the leisure of their captors. One of the handlers, complains "Hey, all the zookeeper said was we was to rough you guys up. No one said anything about killing you!" The zookeeper still blind tries to glance in Apolo's direction "So you are the ones responsible for stealing the unicorn. He said your where, but I wasn't sure. Didn't matter, he wanted me to attack you guy's or he would have killed me for losing the unicorn."

Valanthe takes one of her gauntleted hands and sctratches the bear behind the ear. The dire bear might not be in danger of dying it was still busted up pretty good. She didn't think it would want to keep fighting. Dire bear's were quite intelligent. It nearly died after facing what it thought was easy prey. Now it would be looking to go somewhere and lick its wounds.
"Zookeeper this is quite simple. You will tell us everything you know about this man and where we can find him. There is no negotiation. No demands you can make. Malgant said you shall live so you shall. If you do not answer our questions you will see first hand how much a person can live through."

It is an intelligent being, and should not have been caged in the first place. And whoever this mysterious man is, he clearly doesn't have your best interests at heart."

OOC And THAT is why I thought Valanthe should negotiate. No gruesome details, just the facts, let him fill in the gruesome details.
IC Malgant adresses the animal handler that spoke up. His tone is harsh. " I am large but I am not an idiot. Did you really think that allowing us to be turned to stone wouldn't kill us? You need to be silent for the rest of this negotiation unless you want me to become offended and beat you to death with the remains of the basalisk at your feet." The Minotaur then turns his attention to the zookeeper." Being told to do something or you will be killed is a strong motivator. I did not steal anything from you. Apparently your loss has made you desperate, foolishly desperate it seems. Tell us who ordered you to enslave the unicorn you just freely admitted to having captive and where we can find this person. If you know, tell us what he intended to do with the unicorn." While he talks, Malgant says another prayer to Imod.( Spontaneously cast Mass cure light wounds using the wall of stone spell.

(intimadate check 26, not bad for no training) She likes pretending to be angry enough to chew on someone. The wash of Malgant's healing takes care of the two minor scratches before she could activate her tattoo, so she'll save that for later.

I've never seen the person who hired me he's always contacted me via some sort of magic scry. He offered me lots of gold and a few items to capture him a unicorn. As part of the agreement, he sent a down payment in gold, this bow, a bundle of arrows that don't slay and the winterwolf and little demon. I think they were to keep an eye on me. the blind zookeeper shakes his head then continues "He made it clear, he doesn't tolerate failure. I captured the unicorn , catching it by surprise. I arranged for him to pick up the unicorn after the fair, but when it was stolen, he offered me second chance, all I had to do was to attack your group, he said you were the ones responsible for stealing the unicorn.

If I have components I can give you all a token, like the one I left with Rufus and the innkeeper in Acid City ( why can I not recall her name ever?) Let him take me wherever he is taking me and you all can scry on me and teleport there. If it goes wrong I either word of Recall out or you summon me with the token. It would give us a shot at getting rid of this antagonist sooner rather than later, but it is kinda risky.
What do you think?
Valanthe AC 32/ 25 vs intangible HP 156/ 156, Light Fortifacation, Thursday September 16th, 2010 5:16:06 PM
OOC: I thought much the same thing. Appolo would make a good prisoner since he would have a very good chance to slipping any non magical bindings. Plus I'm sure he has a few concealed blades upon him. I see one problem with that plan. Whoever is pulling the zookeeper's strings was able to magically scry us without problem. He knew what we did and where we could be found. I'd bet money he watched the entire battle and knows the zookeeper lost. He probably expected it if he's half the wizard I think he is. So if the wizard is aware whoever goes as the prisoner would be taking a suicide mission. Especially if he has scrying and teleportation wards up.
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Thursday September 16th, 2010 5:46:05 PM
OOC: Well, he has never scried me since the module began, because I would have detected it. And he is not scrying us now. He might be getting a report from some spy, but he's not scrying.
I think you all need me and Aztyr to teleport the whole group in. I wish it were me being the hostage. Even blinded and gagged and tied, I can slip into the Realm of Shadows and escape. They are sure to gag you first thing, Mal, and then where are we if you end up in a place warded against teleports?
Vauhwyt asks the zookeeper if he knows of any spies that may be watching now or in the past. Does he THINK there might be some?

OOC I was thinking that, the gagging part. That's why I wanted to make the icon so that you guys could summon me out if things went badly. If they are nonmagical bonds Imod can grant me the strength to break them, I think. The fact that he is being watched is still possible. Do we think it is worth the risk? Is this guy a "big Bad" that we want to catch? I think he might be if he is going to all this trouble. Please keep discussing.

OOC: From my understanding of Scring, If the Big Bady is Scring the Zookeeper, you'd never know it Vauhwyt, only if he began scring again upon you. Even if he saw you through his scring on the Zookeeper, he is not actually scring you, and Detect Scring only detects it if you are ther actual target. Like when I scried Appolo to find the new campground/town.
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Thursday September 16th, 2010 9:01:19 PM Detect Scrying:
"The spell's area radiates from you and moves as you move. You know the location of every magical sensor within the spell's area." That's every sensor -- even those targeting others -- in a 40 ft radius. Even if he is scrying on Mal, if his sensor is within 40 ft of me, I would know it. There is no saving throw and no spell resistance.
Mal, we'll have no idea when you'll be in trouble. So how would we know when to activate it?
I really think it has to be me.
But how would Aztyr know when to teleport, or to where? I'm not convinced this idea is very good at all. And the villain will be immediately suspicious that the rest of us ran away. Good guys don't do that. Also he will be surprised that the zookeeper won. Didn't you all just win some tourneys?
Valanthe AC 32/ 25 vs intangible HP 156/ 156, Light Fortifacation, Thursday September 16th, 2010 10:55:39 PM
OOC: I think this was a test. We may have to let this 'wizard' to spring his trap with agents that will have more information.
"Zookeeper if I were you I would find a way to atone for all that you have done. You were fortunate today to escape with your life. Believe me that we will spread the word to druids of your actions. So the next time you go looking to capture an animal it may be watching you." Valanthe says as she tries to comfort the wounded bear.
Vorelle Friday September 17th, 2010 2:02:41 AM
"The zookeeper's master said he wanted us 'roughed up,'" Vorelle reminds her friends. "He didn't say anything about wanting us captured. I think if the zookeeper showed up with a prisoner in tow, it would be suspicious."
Adurath fair & Blackbird forest (Dm Glenn) Friday September 17th, 2010 10:31:25 AM
As the group discusses a spy prisoner plan, the Zookeeper shrugs agreeing with Vorelle "He didn't say anything about prisoners, and give how easily you won, if this wizard suspected half your ability, then I don't think he expected me to win. Which mean I and the whole attack was to save him the trouble of killing me or just a distraction at best. Anyway, I don't have any means to contact him, and he didn't say anything about contacting me again."
In response to Valanthe, "Atone? Yes if I live long enough."
Vauhwyt hasn't detected any Scrying during the battle.
Appolo Ac 34 HP106 . . Friday September 17th, 2010 1:26:17 PM
Appolo listens to the discussion"OK then let's turn these bozo's over to the local authorities,round up the animals and head back to our new home.Let this evil wizard or what evere chase us.We finish building our pace.Drop the bear and remaining animals off deep in the forest.Can't have them hanging around to close to our abode.Then we go after this lich on mount bone.I don't like the idea of one of deliberately getting taken prisoner bya unknown opponent.So let's forget about that idea.Let's just head to our home and concentrate on our orginal plans."
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 98(30 non leathal)/128 hp Malgant Friday September 17th, 2010 2:27:12 PM " Very well, I will keep my end of this deal." Malgant motions the refugees forward and instructs them. " Please go and get the law man of this town. Tell him that our camp was attacked. We defended ourselves and captured the attackers for him to take into custody for trial and punishment. We will hold them here until you return."

"I like what Appolo is saying," says Vauwhyt. "I still need the better part of a week to finish the bare minimum work needed to make a place to live. I'm thinking that now we have a family of refugees, I have to prioritize that. Maybe the rest of you all can wait, or else check out those giants or something. But I have to get a roof over the heads of the fledglings and the fisher family."
"I've no teleport spells left, but in the morning I'm heading back," she adds.
Adurath fair & Blackbird forest (Dm Glenn) Monday September 20th, 2010 2:31:23 PM
Appolo is dead set against a fake prisoner ploy, instead he wants to return to the stronghold and finish it. Vauhwyt agrees with Appolo and wants to finish the work on the stronghold.
Malgant agrees and sends some of the refugees to bring back the town's constable. Aztyr returns to the tent.
About a half hour later, the Town's Constable accompanied by the mayor and a few militia men enter camp to take the captives into custody "The zookeeper tried to kill you? It's late will throw these fellows into the stockade and sort out the details tomorrow. "
After the excitement of the battle, the rest of the night passes peacefully. It morning, the Uncle and his people are do the final pack before they head out. There are mostly empty fields where the brightly colored tents and booths of the fair once stood. The only ones left are the small town and a few travelers who like yourself delayed a day before setting out.
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Monday September 20th, 2010 4:02:02 PM
"Time to head for home," says Vauhwyt. "Who's coming? Anyone want I should bring some beasts with me? Like Mister Bear, maybe?"
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 98(30 non leathal)/128 hp Malgant Monday September 20th, 2010 5:05:18 PM
Malgant will expend several more of his spells on spontaneous healing to get himself and the Dire Bear healed, Then he will turn in for the remainder of the night. If possible he would like to have Vauhwyt take both the bear and the dinosaur to be let go into the Blackbird wood. That is a far better place for them than in captivity, and now that they have no captor they are a liability in settled areas.

I've got one more group to transport." Aztyr says from her tent after the town's guard had picked up the prisoners and left already. Aztyr settles in and gets some sleep, planning for the coming morning.

At the tent Valanthe takes up a lazy watch. They could still be attacked by the zookeepers mysterious employer but she highly doubts it. Thoughs roll around in her head about the giants and what they should do next but Valanthe doesn't really decide on anything. Part of her enjoys the quiet time while another part of her hates it. That fight was just a tease. A tease of battle and her blood wanted more.
Appolo Ac 34 HP106 . . Tuesday September 21st, 2010 12:18:21 PM
Appolo sleeps well gets up in the morning."Well I'm heading back with Vuahwyt.I think we should all head back to our new home and finish it up.Tehn decide what to do next.One thing at a time.Don't worry the bad guys will still be out there waiting for us."
Adurath fair & Blackbird forest (Dm Glenn) Tuesday September 21st, 2010 4:59:09 PM
Upon the morning, Vauhwyt is ready to return home. Having healed everyone, Malgant wishes to take the remaining animals back to the Blackbird woods. The Dire Bear is calm and willing, but the dinosaur is the zookeeper's animal companion and will not leave the area without him willing.
Aztyr has one group to transport, and a trip to the inn, before going to the unfinished keep.
Valanthe feels restless by the teased of battle too easily won. Appolo heading back with Vauhwyt, reminds everyone there are still bad guys out there.
(Is everyone go to the unfinished Stronghold today?)
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Tuesday September 21st, 2010 7:32:41 PM
Malgant is torn. He does not want to allow those who oppress the refugees even one more day of opportunity to do so. But, his group will not be whole until Vauhwyt has seen to the needs of her adopted children. This too Malgant can understand. Perhaps with his help they can be finished sooner at the stronghold. To that end he prays for the ability to help with the stone working today.
" I would rather have us all together before we once again walk into trouble. We haven't run into anything we can't handle yet, but this new enemy may be more of a challenge. Why don't we all go to the stronghold and see if we can't help get some extra work done? That way when it is ready, we can all head to the giants and see what can be done about them. I will petition Imod today for the prayers to work with stone and come lend a hand at the new town. "
"First though, I will stop by the law man's office and see to the disposition of the zookeeper and see if the sheriff needs anything from us. Why doesn't Aztyr take the last group to Acid city, get supplies and come back. By then I should have all of the legal problems here sorted out."

Whats up with Ashira? Is she part of the group? Is she still playing? Do we have an open spot? I think Lorth has more time now and can post regularly. I can see if he wants to come back. Let me know.

In the morning, Aztyr refreshes her mage armor(extended with rod) and then takes the remaing group to the Inn and introduces them to the Inn keeper as more for the trip to saftey. While at the inn she orders enough food to last the group plus the harpie hatchlings for another four days. (lmk the gp cost) After she stows the food in her haversack, she teleports back to where the fair was to pick up those who didn't go with Vauhwyt, which should be Malgant and Valanthe, Vorelle and Champ, assuming Appolo and Ashira and the dire bear go with Vauhwyt.

Vorelle is more than willing to go to the stronghold and see how Vauhwyt is getting along. She is also curious about the unicorn. She gathers herself and Champ together for the teleport.
