Zeph sees the large Draakh hound dodge the sphere of holding, and then gasps as Garret is struck!
Then, he thinks to Keela"Could you possibly encircle the Hound in a wall of ice?"
Jumping into the cockpit off Avis, Zeph activates the propellers and flies to Garret's position, flying low to reach out his hand and grab the halfling, scooping him into the cockpit before the hound can eat his friend (Sleight of hand = 12, reflex = 15. Fly = 37, nat 20).
Dm Jim: you won't be able to pick him up this round unless he jumps into the Avis.
Addison: Oh! I thought enough damage was done to make him go unconscious. Can I use a Hero point for an additional action to grab him as I fly by?
DM Jim: Yup! :)
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:-10/42 Ki:7/10] Monday November 14th, 2011 12:06:27 PM
Garret watches as the bead falls the ground harmlessly and doesn't have time to yell as the creature's giant metal paws slap him down. He smiles as the world fades to black.
OOC: OUCH. Current Con: 8. He's dead, Jim.
Dm Jim: Not so. Under House Rules: Death occurs at -10 hps. If a PC is down and losing a point a round, he dies during the round he hits -10. A PC will survive an extra round for each hero point that he has unspent.
So currently you have 2 rounds unless you stabilize sooner.
Also under Hero Points: Cheat Death: A character can spend all of their Hero Points but one to cheat death. How this plays out is up to the DM, but generally the character is left alive, with negative hit points but stable. Cheating death is the only way for a character to spend more than 1 hero point in a turn. The character can spend hero points in this way to prevent the death of a familiar, animal companion, eidolon, or special mount, but not another character or NPC.
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] d20+8=13 ; 2d4=5 ; Monday November 14th, 2011 6:49:30 PM Wall of Ice won't do any good, Keela replies. The creature will ignore it.
She studies the battlefield, trying to gauge whether a Web spell would have enough anchor points to trap the beastie. If there is, she casts Web [DC 19 Reflex save; not subject to SR].
If not, she uses her staff (and the Arcane Bond ability) to cast an Acid Arrow at the monster [hit Touch AC 13 for 5 acid damage].
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:-10/42 Ki:7/10] Tuesday November 15th, 2011 2:11:07 PM
Garret dreams of his youth, racing up and down the Windbourne Hills with other children at a town near the monastery...
OOC: Not putting much trust in stabilization, I think my best bet would be to use all but one hero point to stabilize, albeit at -10!

Zeph grabs the small halfling from the soil and pulls him into the cockpit of Avis as he flies from the battlefield with the Draakh golem.
Next action is to immediately uncork a Cure Serious Wounds potion and dump the contents into Garret's open jaw. Please work...

Koko the Dire Tiger charges back to the top of the wall and attacks one of the attackers that broke through the defense.
Actions: Attack- I assume I can't charge, so just did one attack
Rolls: Claw- hit AC 28; damage 17 + 4 (cold) = 21; grapple check = 31

As Garrett falls, perhaps for the last time, Keela unleashes a large web spell that ensnares the Iron Draakh and stops it from finishing the job on Garrett.
With the rush of wind on her wings, Avis flies in and Zeph heroically swoops down and scoops up Garrett before any further harm can come to him.
Atop the wall, another attacker has breached it's defenses and howls in victory, but it is short lived as Koko--in tiger form, slashes the kothruls abdomen sends it's guts splashing against the inner wall. The rest of the wall continues to fight against the three attackers who made it to the top--shortly to be joined by more friends.
With a fierce growl, the Iron Draahk breaks free of his webbing, but just as soon as it does, a pair of large earthen hands reach up under it and grasp one of it's hind legs and begins to pull it down into the collapsed tunnel.
Zeph, roll for the potion healing

(22 points of hp for Garret-sama!) more later
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] Wednesday November 16th, 2011 10:32:53 AM
Seeing that the iron monstrosity is tied up for the moment, Keela tosses her last Sleep spell [Will save DC 17] at the Korthul who have broken through.
Her spells are dangerously depleted.
I'm just about tapped out, she sends to her friends. How are we doing?
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:12/42 Ki:7/10] Wednesday November 16th, 2011 12:25:45 PM
Garret coughs and sputters and feels the Wold moving all around him. He blinks his eyes as he sees the sky, clouds, and sun above him. He starts to think, "So, this is where I'm headed for the afterlife? I would have thought..." His thoughts are interrupted when Zeph's stressed and combat-driven face appears to block his view of the sky. He blinks again as the craft sways in the wind. Garret grabs the side of the craft as it turns and he gets to his feet, looking around. "Zeph, my friend, I was fighting that dog that's getting pulled down into the earth a moment ago. What happened?"
Zeph Illidian HP 77/78 AC 29/28t/22ff CMD 27 (Mage Armor, Shield, Prot From EvilNemesis Insight, Haste) d20+15=22 ; d20+17=36 ; 5d6(2+1+1+1+5)=10 Wednesday November 16th, 2011 8:41:26 PM
Zeph looks as the color returns to his old friend's face, "Welcome back to the land of the living." and tosses him another Cure Moderate wounds potion.
And then he points to the battle being waged beneath him. He says, "Keela and Koko fight on the wall while Nagegy's elemental wrestles the hound. We must find their Karkassan or Al Mathir leaders and target them."
Zeph looks to see if the Wall needs any more help, if so, he will swoop down and flick his Fireball wand at one of the ladders (10fire damage, bleh), probably swooping low enough for Garret to jump out and whip some scaly butt.
If the Wall is holding well against the onslaught, Zeph will search around for the leaders of the Mathirian races (Fly = 22, perception = 36)
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:24/42 Ki:7/10] 2d8+3=12 ; Thursday November 17th, 2011 12:22:48 PM
Garret grabs the potion and says, "Thank you," as he stands and drinks it as he looks around at the battle scene. He says, "Nice view from up here. I wonder if it would be possible to head for the leaders without getting ourselves killed... again."
Koko Dogteeth- DIRE TIGER FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 d20+17=21 ; d20+17=26 ; d20+17=34 ; d20+17=33 ; 2d4+10=14 ; 2d4+10=14 ; 2d6+10=17 ; 2d6+10=19 ; d6=3 ; d6=1 ; d6=2 ; d6=6 ; d20+19=27 ; d20+19=30 ; Thursday November 17th, 2011 4:22:27 PM
Koko held his position on the wall, and targeted any enemy on top of the wall that avoided Keela's sleep spell.
Actions: Koko will make a full attack; should an enemy fall, he will use any remaining attacks on an adjacent enemy.
Attacks: Claw- hit AC 21; damage 14+ 3 (cold)= 17; grapple check 27 Claw- hit AC 26; damage 14+ 1 (cold)= 15; grapple check 30 Bite- hit AC 34; damage 17+ 2 (cold)= 19 Bite- hit AC 33; damage 19+ 6 (cold)= 25

With Keela and Koko's concerted efforts on the wall, all but one of the attackers fall to spells, blades and claws--but they keep on coming, another four ladders get propped up against the walls and the climbers are steadily making their way up.
On the training grounds, the battle between the Iron Draakh and the Nagegy's elemental are at a stalemate.
Outside the wall, as witnessed by Zeph and Garrett overhead, the hermit's Air elementals continue to rip down the line of attackers, but they seem to be losing some of their wind. Zeph unleashes a mild fireball, akin to a young dragon's fart and seriously chafes one of the kothruls loincloth.
Far off (1000'), the lone group of 7 Mathirians as was spied a while ago, remain relatively motionless.
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] 5d6=16 ; Friday November 18th, 2011 1:08:49 AM
This is all starting to look depressingly familiar.
Ideas? Keela sends.
She also sends a Fireball, via her wand, at one of the ladders full of climbing invaders. [16 damage; DC 14 Reflex save]
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:24/42 Ki:7/10] Friday November 18th, 2011 2:15:17 PM
Garret says to Zeph, while pointing to the Mathiraians, "That sure looks like a tempting target, but there are an awful lot of them there. What do you think?"
Nagegy -- DM Jim Friday November 18th, 2011 4:58:19 PM "I think it would be suicide," Nagegy says as he places his clawed hands on the shoulders of Zeph and Garrett. His sudden appearance in Avis came as a surprise as he was just on the temple roof contemplating another spell, "but I think it would be fun to kill a few Karkasan's face to face. But of course, we should include Keela and Koko--if they want to come."
Musings -- DM Jim Friday November 18th, 2011 5:04:43 PM "This isn't exactly what I was thinking it would be, Tolly."
The man's friend gave him a wry look as he fended off a kothrul attacker, "What did you expect, tea and biscuits?"
"No, don't be silly, but there's a lot of them out there, Tolly. And look, the wizardess over there, she looks concerned, looks like we're going to lose the fight."
"Bah, she's just doesn't want to get any blood on her dress, or her shoes. You remember Lady Arvendahl? How we caught her that one time after she killed her suitor?"
Edward thought a moment, "Oh yeah, you rolled around on the floor screaming like a stuck pig and surrounded her in a circle of your own blood--and yeah, she didn't want to muss up her shoes stepping in it."
"I was not screaming, I was tactically diverting her attention while you hid in the corner."
"Yeah, you're a peach of a friend."
"I know."
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] 5d6=23 ; Sunday November 20th, 2011 10:19:05 PM
Keela tosses another fireball at the attackers. [23 damage]
Well, come get me while you can, she sends to the crew in Avis.

Zeph thinks for a moment, "On second thought, maybe it would have been better to have them chase us. Oh well."
Then he swings around to get Keela, plopping a nice fireball on top of a ladder as the Kothrul climb, igniting it in flames (26 damage)
Hop on Koko, if you can't meet us there under your own propulsion.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:32/42 Ki:6/10] Monday November 21st, 2011 11:21:32 AM
Garret jumps as Naggy appears and almost falls out of the flying craft. "Ok, let's go get them!" He puts a hand on himself and a few more wounds disappear.
OOC: Use ki point to heal 8.
Koko Dogteeth- DIRE TIGER FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 Monday November 21st, 2011 1:57:11 PM
Koko saw the flying craft and jumped up to hop on.
OOC: Can Koko fit on when he's in dire tiger form? If not, Koko will take the form of a pteranodon and fly on.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:32/42 Ki:6/10] Tuesday November 22nd, 2011 12:48:21 PM
Garret hits the side of the craft, trying to urge more speed out of Avis.

Slapping the side of Avis like she was a thoroughbred, Garret and the entire crew--less Koko, who is flying beside Avis as a pteranodon, speed to the group of seven Mathirians in the distance.
Below them the battle wages on, few notice the Heroes of Bryn flying off, those who did, didn't have long to contemplate their flight as the fight was bloody and fierce. Luckily, seven of the ten ladders that had successfully grappled the top of the walls had been pushed back and their attackers defeated--yet three more ladders remained and more were sure to replace those that had fallen.
The wind whipped at their hair, brushed their scales harshly, as they raced forward. "Keep moving forward," Nagegy quipped, "funny how my father's words come to me now, at this moment."
-------------
As you may know by now, I'll be leaving Uncharted as your DM, but your replacement will be every bit as good as I, and perhaps even better.
If you didn't know, I started Hook City, with Donna's help, as their first DM--the games, and my first time DMing here. I made a poor decision last year and lost Hook City and I've always wanted it back. This does not mean I didn't want Uncharted, but when the opportunity came up this weekend, I made my desires known to Jerry. I didn't think he would want a sudden changeover, but when Jerry says jump, you jump and use jazz-hands :)
I will miss you all, you've been good roleplayers and I'm sure we will meet up again in another game either as DM's or players. I will try to help out as much as I can with Zach, please give him a warm welcome.
Good-bye and the best of luck to you all :)
DM Zach Wednesday November 23rd, 2011 8:46:21 AM
Hello all!
I'm excited to be taking over for Jim and working with you guys.
I have good news and bad news.
The good news, I get to pay Addison back for everything he has done to my group over the past 18 months in the Forged.
The bad news. You guys (and gal) have to put up with me pretty much FOUR-EV-ER (sorry that was my best Sandlot impersonation).
I'm going to try and make this as painless and seamless as possible. It will take me a few days to get into the swing of things as I am reading archives, DM notes, character sheets, wiki pages, etc. in an all out effort to acquaint myself with the going-ons of the game and your characters.
A few things about my DM style. As a rule of thumb I am... woefully inadequate when it comes to maps. This is a two part problem. I like nice pretty, detailed maps (much like the ones Addison uses as the DM of the Forged) and they are extremely time consuming. This means that when I do use them I am spending quite a bit of time to do so, which means I do so sparingly. But all is not lost. I tend to give PC's the benefit of the doubt when a map is not used.
Also, I make mistakes. I try to avoid them but it happens. Some times they happen frequently and can often be rather annoying. I apologize in advance and promise that if you point them out I will correct it as soon as possible. I don't get mad, and have plenty of experience with criticism. You won't hurt my feelings =).
My only redeeming quality I have I guess you can say is that... I am a rather consistent poster. Even if the post is just checking in, letting you know that I am waiting on someone else to post or the like.
All that being said, I am looking forward to having fun with you guys. If you need anything, my email is zsramage at yahoo dot com. Don't hesitate to ask. I will try and get enough info processed to make an IC post later today. It is however my daughters 3rd birthday so if I don't, I will get one up tomorrow on Thanksgiving.
Thanks for letting me be your new DM.
-Zach
P.S. I make no promise that I will be better, as good as, or even remotely comparable to Jim C in the DMing department. Feel free to hate me for it!

OOC: Zach says what I have done to his group; while he should be saying what I have done for his group. =) It's also my 24th birthday tomorrow! What a coincidence.
Zeph flies Avis to the 7 leaders, determined to end this battle The Kothrul will flee once they see their leaders have fallen... we must work together in this fight though, or it may be our last. Nagegy, would you happen to have any SPell REsistance spells?
When Avis gets close, Zeph will say hello by swooping in low and letting lose a fireball from his wand (damage =16), and then take off high to see if the casters will fire back at him.
Koko Dogteeth- Pteranodon FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 Wednesday November 23rd, 2011 4:21:14 PM
OOC: Welcome aboard Zach. Good to have you.
IC: Koko Dogteeth, now in Pteranodon form, followed Avis as closely as possible. As he pursued his heightened senses perceived that something in the nature of the Wold had somehow shifted. It wasn't something tangible like a coming storm, but rather something just beyond the senses. Koko wasn't sure what it was but he was certain that his companions world was about to change.
DM Zach Wednesday November 23rd, 2011 5:45:30 PM
@ Addison: I know, you are great. Happy early Birthday, my Birthday was Sunday.
@ Jeff L: I've looked over your character sheet once and saw no errors. I'll look it over again and then we can work out exactly how/when you want your new character to be brought in.
@ Jeff O and Kathy: Hi!
@ All: I am having trouble opening the google doc with all of the juicy DM stuff in it. This is keeping me from being able to make a purposeful post today. Please be patient... I'm sure we will get the kinks worked out by Christmas lol.
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] Wednesday November 23rd, 2011 10:43:39 PM
As the group swoops toward the leaders, Keela calls out: "Who wants to be invisible?"
She has a Greater Invisibility for whoever wants to claim it.
[OOC: Welcome, Zach!!]

Zeph smiles excitedly at Keela, "Me me! That will help so much!"
Koko Dogteeth- Pteranodon FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 Thursday November 24th, 2011 7:36:19 PM

OOC: Still waiting for access to the DM Notes. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and hopefully I can post tomorrow.
Koko Dogteeth- Pteranodon FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 Thursday November 24th, 2011 11:42:36 PM
OOC- Darn you American Thanksgiving! Turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie plus football!
DM Zach Friday November 25th, 2011 7:33:27 PM
Koko, Zeph, Keela, and Garrett race towards the Al Marthirian leadership in an effort kill the snake by cutting off its head.
As the heroes continue to approach one of the leaders moves forward and yells at the group who is within about 200ft now.
"You will all die if we fight. Yet we still believe in the honor of the defender. So we challenge you to face our 4 best champions. We offer the challenge. So honor demands that you declare the rules of the fight. Offer something dishonorable and we will kill you permanently. Show that the races of your civilization can show and receive honor and we will fight for the town. Victor keeps it and the mine forever!"
The Seven Leaders stand motionless awaiting your answer.
Koko Dogteeth- Pteranodon FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 Saturday November 26th, 2011 9:41:59 AM
Koko heard the challenge and thought the deal sounded more than reasonable, so he flew up to Avis and turned back to his human form.
"We can save many lives by accepting this challenge" Koko said. "Let's take it, call off the attack, and then show these champions the meaning of pain."
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] Saturday November 26th, 2011 10:04:48 AM
"We should accept," Keela agrees. With a shaky laugh, she adds, "I don't suppose they'd be willing to have this thing tomorrow? I'm just about tapped out."
Zeph Illidian HP 77/78 AC 29/28t/22ff CMD 27 (Mage Armor, Shield, Prot From EvilNemesis Insight, Haste) d20+12=16 ; Saturday November 26th, 2011 11:22:26 AM
Zeph wonders if they are lying (sense motive 16, bleh), and then agrees that if they are honorable, it may be the quickest way to solve this.
Rules of engagement are up to us? Zeph thinks to his teammates, Could we possibly face them all at once 5 vs 5? Teamwork and spells allowed.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:32/42 Ki:6/10] d20+8=24 ; Monday November 28th, 2011 11:19:58 AM
Garret also listens to see if their intentions are honorable (sense motive: 24). He says to the others, "They have shown they have been honorable in the past." He looks around at the massive battlefield and continues, "And we really don't have a lot to lose. Let's give this a shot. Since we get to determine the rules of the fight, we will certainly tell them it will be tomorrow, or even the next day. Heck, as sore as I am right now, I could wait a week. I think they'd go for it. Any ideas for the conditions for the fight that will favor us the most?"
DM Zach Monday November 28th, 2011 7:34:21 PM
The fighting continues below as the group contemplates the offer.
As best as anyone can tell they are being forthcoming with their dealings.
They wait patiently and without emotion.
The sounds of battle rage on below as they have not given the sound to fall back. Until the terms have been agreed upon, you doubt they will give any quarter.
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] Monday November 28th, 2011 11:37:01 PM
"We accept your challenge," Keela calls back. "Just give us a few minutes to work out the details."
To her friends, she says: "Should we specify no magic? If they have casters, they'll still be fresh."
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:32/42 Ki:6/10] Tuesday November 29th, 2011 12:12:06 PM
Garret replies, "I think we should propose a battle at dawn, two days hence. We could recover our battlefield, see to the wounded, and prepare ourselves. I think I could hold my own with no magic, but can four of us? Then again, they have magic that brought out that metal dog as well."
DM Zach Tuesday November 29th, 2011 5:35:32 PM
The same leader calls back to Keela, "As you wish, but know that if your terms are dishonorable or unfair, we will take this city by force before dawn."
They Marithians wait patiently for the terms from the group.
--------------------
OOC: Hey guys and gal, I am going to be sending an email to you guys within the hour talking about a few topics. Please respond.
Koko Dogteeth- Pteranodon FORM - AC 29/T16/27, HP 27/77 Tuesday November 29th, 2011 11:58:24 PM
"We would not propose anything dishonourable" Koko shouted before turning to the group in a more hushed tone. "... we wouldn't, would we?"
"I don't see why we should wait two days." Koko said after his question was answered. "I say we get this over with a few hours after dawn. That will give every one ample time to cast preparation spells."
"As for terms, I think the battle should commence in a large open area. I also think everyone should enter the battle with no prepatory magic already cast on them... that way you win by your skills and abilities alone, rather than the skills and abilities of your allies that aren't in the battle."
Keela [AC 19; HP 61/61] [Haste] Wednesday November 30th, 2011 10:52:23 AM
Keela nods at Koko's suggestions. "Um....no attacking unconscious people?" she suggests.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:32/32/22 HP:32/42 Ki:6/10] Wednesday November 30th, 2011 12:43:28 PM
"Could we battle to the... unconscious, and not the death?"
DM Zach Wednesday November 30th, 2011 7:47:17 PM OOC: I'm just waiting for the group decide how they want to proceed and convey that to the Al-Marithians.
The battle rages on below as the others wait in typical silence.

Zeph frowns at the situation and waves to the Al Matharians, to parley
He guides Avis to a fast halt at the edge of their group.
The elf drops down from Avis, and looks at each of the seven lizardfolk, taking in their individual equipment and such (perception =27) He says,"I am Zeph, called here to avenge the good people of Bryn Baraz, who have invested livelihood in the settlement. Is it that Al Mathir could not justify the losses you would sustain to the value of the mine? One battle to stop the bloodshed is a wise choice.
I suggest we make terms in writing, a treaty, that the winner of the bout be the rightful inhabitants of Bryn Baraz, and the other shall never attempt to reclaim. On the morrow, we can fight with all our peoples as witness. What say you?"

He continues, "Is there no way that we can live in peace and share these bounties of the land?"
