Zeoll shouts a warning, and steps back invisible again. He doesn't smell any invisible threats but does see the inn patrons moving towards the bay.
Aexana buffets the man with more torrential downpour, and again he is able to ignore it and continuing casting.
Sam heals Spire for 12 pts.
Terser moves up and easily spots the caster, the man who is being buffeted by more rain and wind, has no defense when Terser swings his glaive, and watches as is it easily cuts into the mans robes and continues through, gouging the man in almost half.
Coer slams his fist into the baddies face, smashing what is left. Before the body drops he starts moving for the inn patrons. (Remember due to the storm movement is half). As Coer runs by, he begins to feel a surge of fear build up, but quickly disepates and doesn't bother him.
Spire glares at the one standing near him. The man sees the fear of the gods, and is shaken. Doing so cancels the Calm Emotions on all the Attackers.
Magana first realizing her initial target is an ally(Numbskull in the woods is Terser), she changes and swings at the one standing to her right. The first swing of her flail buckles the mans legs, the second spins his neck almost completely around. The thrust of the horns is just extra to the obviously dead man.
Jozhur puts a blade to the sleeping mans throat, and threatens his life to the man left standing. "Alright, Alright" the man yells back dropping his sword, "don't kill Thiago please. We need to go...."
EVERYONE MUST MAKE A PERCEPTION CHECK using the following modifiers (which will all stack up): -4 because of the continuing thunderstorm overhead -2 if you're still trying to save Enthralled people from that Sleepwalk of Doom -2 if you're actively engaged in combat
ALSO, some things to remember: Highlight to display spoiler: {MOVEMENT: Because of the heavy rainfall, the roads within Gullport (they're all dirt roads) have become rivers of mud, reducing movement to one-half speed.
SEEING & HEARING: The thunderstorm lashing the place has darkened the sky and loosed thunder all around the hamlet, so all Perception checks (as well as any tactics that rely on being able to clearly see and/or hear) suffer a -4 circumstance penalty; the penalty is -6 when in the vicinity of the beach/direct waterfront, thanks to the additional roar of the waves crashing against the rocky shore or cliff face. The range for seeing or hearing anything is cut in half.
LIGHT SOURCES: Thanks to the extremely dark storm clouds, the party will need to have their own sources of light if they are to see through the rain effectively. The rain and wind automatically extinguish any unprotected flames, and even has a 50% chance of extinguishing protected flames (such as lanterns).
WIND EFFECTS: Ranged weapon attacks and Fly skills are at a -4 penalty. Small (or smaller) creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the wind unless they succeed on a DC 10 Strength check (if on the ground) or a DC 20 Fly skill check if airborne.}

Believing that the remaining enemies pose little threat, Sam casts dancing lights to guide the group safely to the rescue of the victims. He then starts the slow trudge towards the water. (Strength=18)
Actions: Cast dancing lights Move 10 whole feet towards the walking zombies

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP33) d20+13=23 ; Thursday March 20th, 2014 3:40:49 PM
Zeoll, not in combat, not rescuing walkers, rolls a perception at -4 ... a 23.
"Take them captive," he shouts about the downed and surrendered.
Unless that perception check reveals something major, the old liontaur decides the thing to do is to try to save walkers. So Zeoll spends the whole round racing as fast as he can toward the water.

Terser takes a moment to recover as well, checking the bodies of their attackers and if they are still alive, attempts to stanch their wounds so they can be questioned. perception just getting lower, 8 now. heal checks 20, 18 vs DC 15 for first aid (ignore 2nd for this round - each is a standard action)

Kane' looks through the rain and sees Horace, Pinny, and several others. "I will go to help!, and the witch casts a spell that transforms himself into a Cheetah!
In speedy-cat form, Kane' goes racing along the muddy ground to bite the sleepwalkers to wakefulness.

(Perception 31-4-2 = 25)
Aex is uncertain what to do next... if she sees there are again people walking towards the docks and the others have the remaining baddies under control, Aex will make a double move at least to get closer to the townsfolk (faster if possible with this weather)

Jozhur will not stray far from Spire, since there is a possibility further hostilities. Jozhur will stay with Spire , either helping to secure the attackers or knock some sense into the shamblers.

Coer continues towards the villagers, wading through the mud as fast as he can. If he reaches one he slaps them across the face to awaken them.
If not he tries to judge the distance left to the people.

DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Friday March 21st, 2014 1:05:44 PM
Magana runs forward to the last baddie who believes he still has a chance. The man is preparing a spell when Magana plows into him. The spinning balls of her flail smash into the meager defense and bend the mans neck at an odd angle. His hands still move as if casting a spell, but he is long dead before his body hits the ground.
Sam casts dancing lights, illuminating the area some, and moves up. The strong winds and rain playing a part to slow him down.
Zeoll shouts a plan, and heads towards his shipmates.
Kane turns into a cheetah and speeds off after the walkers. Aexana sees her friends have the three baddies under control, and speeds off in that direction as well.
Jozhur and Spire stay by the downed baddies, securing them and even bandaging them up.
Coer sprints to the walkers, wanting to help.
Jozhur , Aexana, Zeoll, Coer and Spire scroll to display spoiler

Five-and-a-half to six feet tall and roughly humanoid, they are covered in viscous slime, shifting scales, and fishbelly-white flesh with mottled green splotches.

Zeoll moves to CJ-65 and looks at these things.
Knowledge Nature 14 to figure them out. Or Knowledge Planes 27 or Knowledge Arcana 19 or Knowledge Geography 12 ... LOL!
One thing he does figure on -- these are creatures of the sea, and therefore they most likely understand Aquan, a language Zeoll speaks.
Using his knowledge of the language, Zeoll casts his Command spell, forcing the seaspawn at 61CN to APPROACH!
If it fails its save (Will save vs DC 19) then it must move (and only move) to Zeoll.
The old liontaur's thinking is that it will provoke AoOs from Coer as it approaches Zeoll. Also, if he has set things up right, maybe it will end its move in flanking position between Zeoll and Coer.
"We trry things," the old liontaur murmurs. "Sometimes they worrk."
OOC to Coer: Even if you move to engage the other one, I think mine will still provoke AoOs if it comes near me, seeing as you have a 10 ft reach. Good luck!

A flash of lightning and the horror of fish-men arise from the shadows attempting to block Kane'-cheetah's path to the Sleepwalkers. Ugly but no less strange than the Sahaugin or Merfolk the Lionfish have met on Kane's maiden voyage with the heroes. Besides, thinks the wet-furred Witch, the protection of the Sleepwalkers is of more importance.
Altering his path to hug the westward house, Kane' avoids combat or even getting within arms reach of the fish-men. Instead, he paces on quick paws to gain the front of the Sleepwalking line!

Coer slides to a halt in the slick mud as Zeoll calls the beasts towards them. How will I get to the people... he thinks as suddenly a cheetah zooms past him and deftly skirts the fishmen.
I I hope that's one of us he mutters as he steps forward and begins as assault on the slimy creature before him. His eyes flash blue as he once again calls upon his Ki to enhance his powerful attack. He finishes off his attack with a brutal sweep of his horns. ~~~ ooc 5ft step to ck62-cl63 power attack active, use one Ki point for extra attack in flurry, courage has been inspired

Zeoll recalls something about Seaspawn being aquatic outsiders, summoned to do bidding of someone. His spell goes off, and the Seaspawn starts to lumber towards him.
Sam cast expeditious retreat, and moves closer to the walkers.
Kane still in lion form zooms past Zeoll and Coer.(Your token is still the man, the lion token was Zeoll. You were originally at CB60) The cheetah makes it all the way up to the group.
Magana never satiated for bloodlust, charges the Seaspawn. Her flail flies forward and crushes into the ribs of the one before her. She feels the ribs crush beneath her swing, and hears the the familiar sound of the breath flowing from the creatures mouth as it breathes its last breath.
Coer steps forward to meet the two lumbering Seaspawn and opens up with punches and combinations. The first two punches blow throught he seaspawns defenses, and drop him were he stands. His milky eyes rolling into the back of his head, and his jaw obviously shattered. When he turns to face the one Zeoll commanded he continues his assault, and connects every time except one. His last shot actually pulls the seaspawn off its feet, into the air, and deposits its corpse into the wall of the building. It slides done, obviously dead.
Aexana is at CA 60(I swapped tokens for her since the gray blended in),She calls down lightning on one of the closer Seaspawns. who despite his size, manages to dodge the worse of the damage.
Jozhur sneaks up alongside the building, ready to make a sneak attack when the oppurtunity presents itself.
Spire can get the baddies in the blast without hitting his friends, but in doing so will hit buildings. ( I held your action, but if you want it to go off, it will detonate before any other actions next round, and you still will get your normal action.)
Seaspawn 1 moves towards Terser, who is waiting with his attack. His glaive swings, but misses. His AOO as the creature moves forward is more on line and strikes into the belly of the Seaspawn, cutting a curved line and giving site to the entrails. The body crumples before Terser.
Seaspawn 2 moves towards Terser as well. Jozhur jumps out of his spot, but is seen by the Seaspawn. He still manages to connect and hurt the seaspawn. The creature strikes back with it's rapier, getting through the armor of Jozhur 6 DMG
Seaspawn 4 takes his step forward to attack Magana, but instead is met with her flail. The balls doing the usual destruction they do, crushing the already wounded seaspawn and smashing her to the ground.

With her Wolf double hustle speed (50 ft x 2 x 2) Aex is able to run from CA60 to CN60 to CN48 to CZ48 ready to hurl herself at the first citizen that feels the need to drown himself... She tries to keep an eye out for trouble (perception 21 penalties are probably involved)...

It is only a quick jaunt by cheetah paws to lope up to Pinny and try to bite him on the hand. At the absolute last second, Pinny's foot kicks up a bit of mud right into Kane's open mouth. Uck! Yuck!

Jozhur tumbles by the seaspawn, and tries to lunge at the abomination. His attack comes up short though.
Sam continues heading for the walkers, and is in the last seconds of his rallying speech.
Zeoll spends the entire round running, but it pays off as he gets to the walkers.
Aexana, thinking it is wise to hold onto her spells, heads in the other direction to try and cut off the walkers.
Kane tries to bite Pinny to awaken him, but gets a mouthful of mud for his troubles.
Terser catches his breath, but notices nothing new. The seaspawn before him is alive, and attacking Jozhur.
Magana(whose actions resemble a Young MC song) runs back towards the last remaining fight.
Coer continues heading for the walkers, with Spire following after him. ------------------------------------------ The remaining seaspawn swings his rapier, and manages to connect on Jozhur. The shot looks perfect at first, but at the last second catches a thick part of his armor. (6Dmg)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP33) d20+3=20 ; d20+2=20 ; d4+1=3 ; Tuesday March 25th, 2014 11:06:28 AM
Zeoll dashes to the front of the line of walkers, moving to DA59 (move action) -- or as close to it as a move action will take him.
Kindly DM, note that Zeoll is a taur too, like the minotaurs. He is large and takes up a 10x10 space. I have not bothered with it in the battle, but as I contemplate using my body to block the narrow passage at CZ-DB-58, it sure would be handy to be my full size on the map! That would mean he is moving as close to DA-DB-58-59 as possible with just a move action.
As he moves, he draws a vial of acid.
Then he throws his acid so that it will splash! That way, hopefully all the splashed people will wake up. Zeoll wishes he could dash the vial on the roadway and splash three victims, but the mud makes Zeoll think the vial will not break. Too soft a surface. So he throws it at the building, which should be easy to hit.
He's aiming at something like CY-CZ-59-60 so that when it splashes, he'll get at least two victims.
The AC to hit a grid intersection is a ranged attack against AC5. Zeoll hits AC20! That's AC22 with Inspire Courage!He splashes (hopefully) 2-3 walkers with 1 hp acid splash damage!
He shouts to any who wake up, "Attack the ones still walking to the waterr! Snap them out of it!"
Finally, the old liontaur gets ready to attack any walker who walks by him and provokes an AoO. If that happens, his old paw hits AC20, including the inspire courage, for 3 hp damage. Maybe that will wake up another walker.
NOTE WELL! All of Zeoll's actions -- moving past people, throwing a splash weapon -- would normally provoke AoOs. But I'm betting the walkers are too distracted to be attacking.

Aex steps a bit closer to the walkers and she lands a lightning bolt on any that are still walking (after her friends took care of some). A lightning bolt is a bit cruel but it should definetely shake anyone out of this trance...

Jozhur grits his teeth and ignores the fresh wound on his thigh. Apparently my sword play is a little rusty.
He feints a trip, then plunges his sword deep into the fishman's slimy flesh, even if it is already falling from Terser's blow.

Spire continues to trudge south, hoping to catch up with the crowd of walkers. (60ft move south)
Magana thought there were two ugly fish creatures here, but now sees only one. The thought is a fleeting one though as her rage sweeps her into the next attack (on BQ58).

DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Wednesday March 26th, 2014 11:37:19 AM
Zeoll moves into a better position, and manages to throw his vial of acid at the wall in front of him. As soon as the acid hit the skin of the walkers, and begins to sizzle, then victims come to. Horace slaps at the skin were the acid burns, while Pinny and one of the Elfblood crew yell in pain. Awake Horace,Pinny and 1 EB Crew Member
Terser also moves into position, to help cordinate an attack on the seaspawn. His glaive easily gets through the defenses of the aquatic outsider and cuts him deep. The gurgling from the creatures throat isn't loud enough to cover the gurgling of blood flowing freely from his wound.
Coer jumps over the group and lands on the other side. He slaps the lead walker still and awakens the man, a member of the Elfblood crew. As another trudges by, the minotaur reaches out and awakens them.
Aexana aims a steady her finger at the nearest target. A brief thought flashes through her mind - will this spell be too powerful?
DM Shawn: Please advise if you want to proceed with your planned course of action re casting lightning. If this is a normal NPC they will have D6 or less HP and even if they make their save you will still fry them. Then again, if they are preplanned NPCs they could have far more HP than even you! If you do not wish to proceed then last round will be treated as no action for Aexana as she grapples with the ramifications of casting such a spell, and the spell will not be cast.
Kane takes a chomp at the one in front of him, but the mouthful of mud from before must of still left a bad taste. Oddly, once he retracts from the attack, a white dove plummets from the sky landing next to Kane obviously dead.
Sam casts hold person on the last one of the group to be under the affect, and the man stops walking, stuck motionless.
Jozhur plunges his blade into the dead seaspawn, getting some satisfaction.
Spire continues his trek through the mud, passing sam in his process.
Magana charges at the seaspawn, but sees her glory of another kill taken away before she can reach him. ------------------------------------------------ Horace, still rubbing the acid wound, looks around at the others that were saved. " What... what happened. Not again."

Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 60/60 (raging 84/84)] Wednesday March 26th, 2014 2:22:56 PM Well that was odd. These things certainly didn't seem to be singing. Maybe they're just opportunists, taking advantage of the situation. Or perhaps they came at its call, seeing as we weren't cooperating...
Terser looks around and sees no obvious enemies, but can't see much through the storm anyway. He does yell over to the acid splashed group that some mud would help take the sting from their burns, and then checks on the villagers he tried to help. Are any still alive?

Spire pushes south towards the small crowd, letting a burst of positive energy out from his holy symbol to wash over his allies and the other crew members. He turns to Zoell and Coer and yells out over the storm, "We need to get to the docks. There may be more people under the enchantment, and more of these horrid creatures."
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 21 -- HP 64/68 (Ki 3/5) Wednesday March 26th, 2014 9:25:31 PM

We should regroup before heading to the docks. If there are more fish about, they will be at the docks.

OOC: As a player, I'm not sure if there are any other walkers near me. If there are more than one that are next to each other and next to a building, Zeoll will use the acid trick again to try to wake them up. Rolled vs AC5 to hit a building / grid intersection ... even a 7 without modifiers should do the trick.
If there is only one walker nearby, or if they are spread apart, Zeoll will try to wake just one or two, with a couple paw attacks or a paw attack and an AoO. The raw rolls for that: an 8 and a 17. At least one of those should do to wake up a sleepwalker.
DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Thursday March 27th, 2014 8:51:09 AM
Between all the tactics, the remaining walkers are awoken. Some look around blankly wondering why they are again in the the middle of a rainstorm when they last remember being in the inn. The two members of the Elfblood's and the member of the Pirates of Jack make their way back to the inn with as little as a thank you as possible. Phen, bows to you to show thanks , before heading back to the inn.
Finally Horace speaks up " I think we are the only ones that were in the inn that started the walk. I didn't see any others out here." He looks up to see the three tied baddies in the middle of the road "Friends of yours?"
Besides the mans weapons, Jozhur doesn't turn anything up on the enemy at his feet.

Perhaps Kane can do a runby of the docks to see if there's anything we need to do there? Hopefully the prisoners can be more enlightening than the town citizens have been.
OOC: Kindly DM Shawn, to clarify, these captives are the humans who attacked us, right?
ALSO, is the suicidal sea-song that summons sleepers now silent, or does it still sound?
Zeoll says to Sam, "I hope you have some charrms and suggestions left. They'll come in handy loosening the lips of this lot."
He also searches the bodies of the living and the dead not merely for loot, but for clues as to what is going the heck on hereabouts!
Perception to search, after casting Guidance and Taur's Try cantrips: 29
Zeoll goes over to look at the downed seaspawn. Are they summoned creatures who disappear upon death? Or are they still lying there where they were cut down, implying they are either natives to the Wold or else called, not summoned.
If there are any lying there, Zeoll will check to see if any are still alive. If so, he casts Stabilize to keep them from dying, ties them up, and also checks them over for loot and clues.
Perception 32
Finally, Zeoll sniffs around, wondering if he can possibly track either the humans or the seaspawn back to wherever it is they came from. In this weather, he is doubting it, but what the heck. He tries, after recasting his Guidance and Taur's Try.
Survival 14 and 17 with scent.

He then moves on to the human captive. The bard stares into the man's eyes and casts "suggestion". (Suggestion=DC 20)

Bad thing is it seems we still on't know where that sound came from... perhaps those they attacked earlier will put a different light on this matter...

Away from the hearing of the captives, he says to the other party members I don't think we'll need to check the docks after all, unless Father Nogad is there. Hopefully we can get more information out of these men.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) Friday March 28th, 2014 2:17:50 PM
Zeoll figures there is time to Detect Magic later. Right now, he recruits the big taurs to help carry stuff.
"Magana! Coerr! Please put yourr most excellent muscles to worrk with this loot!"
He agrees that following these fellows back to their priestly leader is a great idea.
The old liontaur takes the chance to cast Mage Armor on himself.
Privately, he thinks the first thing to do is to help rid this town of the evil that demands human sacrifice ... that is, the thing that makes that summoning song. As well as its priest!
After that, it will be time to sit in judgement on the humans who may have been its victims, but who also conspired to feed it too.
Not wanting the humans to hear this, he shares these thoughts only in a whisper, and only in the Taur language, with Coer and Magana.

Spire offers up his Handy Haversack as a means of transporting many of the goods they have found. He will also cast Detect Magic to see if any of them light up. "Perhaps the other crews can bring these men back to the inn as we go down to the docks," he says. He will also take one of the holy symbols and inspect it on the way to the docks, trying to think of any details he would know about it or this Father Nogad. (Kn Religion - 28) His stomach churns as thoughts of the Beastmasters float to the surface of his mind again. I do not wish to tangle with those men once more...

Numbly, the BloodWitch stumbles through the mud and rain, flashes of lighting and the peal of thunder barely registering as he goes to find the white dove. Carefully, he will cradle the lifeless form in his arms, and, mumbling to himself, will follow wherever Jozhur goes.
The rain drips down his face, the Witch indifferent to the weather because he failed in his test, and was found wanting.

"We should drop these off at the Lionfish first then scout around at the docks"

Ooc: I would on behalf of Rob and myself thank you guys for the perfect week last week.
Spire's detect magic spell makes the two sets of bracers light up. On the subject of Father Nogad, he doesn't recall anything about hin. Nor does Sam.
The man, his eyes bloodshot from tears, looks up to Sam(possibly a first)... "Your a fool. No matter if you set us free or kill us, we will die by the end of the day one way or another. Father Nogad is going to be upset that we failed. My only solice is that some of the sheep who stayed on the boats took the swim. Maybe then I will be saved."
At the docks... the storm and sea meet in a colossal battle, spraying water everywhere as the rumble from the waves and thunder echo together. In the sea, scattered about are bodied. None move in distress, or seem to draw any breath. Besides the lionfish, three other ships are docked. The Wayfarer, a clipper ship in excellent condition, The Potentate, the largest ship in the harbor, armed with at least two ballistae and The Rakehell, an ironwood ship built to intimidate. The gangplanks are removed from every ship.
through the gloom, Aexana thinks she sees someone duck out of sight on the Wayfarer.
"We have to see who rremains on ourr own boat and brring them up to the inn forr theirr own safety," Zeoll declares.
"Then we can go a-looking forr this Fatherr No-Good."
He proceeds to do just that, boarding the Lionfish to see who is aboard.

Aexana notices someone that apparently tries not to be seen on the Wayfarer... she howls but without Zeol present no one will understand her... Once Zeoll - who wanted to check out the Lionfish - is near she informs him about what she saw...
Bracing against the storm she goes closer to each ship to inspect them... hoping to catch yet another glimpse of whoever is hiding on the Wayfarer.

Zeoll and the others recall everyone from the Lionfish crew headed for the inn, so the ship has no souls aboard. Coer deposits the loot he carried into the hold.
Sams words fall on deaf ears as the man just sits and cries non stop.
Jozhur sees the ships are at the end of their own slips and would have to move closer to each ship to see anything useful.

Sam waits for the reply of the man on the ship. He casts another "dancing light". The orbs for into a line that stretch between the group and the ship.

Unable to speak Aex looks up at her friends hoping someonee will talk to the lonely sailor.

The storm and wind-lashed harbor does nothing to lighten Kane's mood, but his mind slowly slogs back to life. Kane' fights the temptation of feeling and participating for a while, but then has to admit that being mortal... life goes on.
He looks up and Sam's words keep going around his mind. "Perhaps that man would take us to the priest, Father Nonam."

Magana quickly checks below decks on the Lionfish before rejoining the rest at the Wayfarer.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 37/49 d20+3=11 ; Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 12:13:56 AM
While the others try to speak with the person on the deck of the Wayfarer, Jozhur continues trying to find a way onto the deck of the Rakehell. He gets closer to the ship to better examine it.

Spire will stick with Magana, leaving the search of of Lionfish to Coer.
DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 9:40:24 AM
Magana finds nothing below deck before joining the others at the Wayfarer.
At the Wayfarer, the man listens as Zeoll speaks.
"Aye, hold on a bit. I'll geet me captain." the man says in a cockney accent.
After a few tense seconds, the gangplank is lowered. A tall half-orc stands at the top of the plank, and motions with your hand to come aboard.
"I am Gruumshal, captain of the Wayfarer. I take it, you are part of the Lionfish crew? Did you lose anyone to the sound? Three of my crew men, good men lost their lives to that horrid sound. I ordered the crew to stay below deck until Terza returns to us. "
At the Rakehall....
As Jozhur moves closer to the ship, two men pop their heads over the railing.
"Aye... that is far enough human" the obvious half orc says. " No one gets on the ship without Jandal Phen's permission. And the way people keep dying, I don't see him giving that out kindly. So beat it, and clean the docks with your feet."
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 37/49 d20+3=18 ; Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 11:48:10 AM
Jozhur peers toward the Rakehell and calls back to the half orc, "Okay. We came to check on the ships for all the captains. Is there anything you would like me to pass along to Captain Phen?"
------------ Perception: 18
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/15 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 5:44:46 PM
Spire bows his head as his companions speak to the other sailors, uttering a short prayer for each of the departed as he clutches the silver holy symbol around his neck.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 5:52:20 PM
Zeoll is not sure that there is anything else to do here. The crew is safely ashore. The loot is stowed. The dead are blessed. And now we need to find this Father Nogad.
"Clearrly, the people of this place arre complicit," he declares. "But none the less, I think finding this evil shaman is a good idea."
"Anyone have a suggestion?"
(StevenVdB) Aexana HP 49/49 - AC16/14/13 / +4 vs Giant - CMD 15 / +1 vs Lizard & Goblinoids Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 6:11:56 PM
As Zeoll asks for suggestions Aex gowls a bit...
"Why don't we wait till this bloody storm is over... or do you think even that could be the doing of such a shaman? "
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 6:58:10 PM "Let's ask our friend the high priestess. She will surely know."
Sam silently appeals to Terser, to get his support.
Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC13/ T13/ F10/ CMD 17) HP 47/47 Wednesday April 2nd, 2014 8:19:00 PM "The shaman is probably not responsible, " speculates Kane'. "I would think the good Father would be in league with the fishmen who have a magic bauble that creates the storm. Perhaps another for the unearthly music?"
All is mere speculation on the Witch's part, and he agrees with Zeoll that the high priest may be able to give a clue.
Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 57 of 71] Thursday April 3rd, 2014 12:18:40 AM
Magana thanks Gruumshal, captain of the Wayfarer. for welcoming them aboard.
"I think our own crew has escaped the call, but several residents of the town were not so lucky. We were also set upon by men and sea creatures on our way here. Have you any idea whence this evil originates?"
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/15 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday April 3rd, 2014 12:33:03 AM "As much as I would not like to, I am beginning to suspect the townsfolk are complicit as well," Spire muses. "We should make our way back to the inn now that we have checked the ships and plan our next move."
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 60/60 (raging 84/84)] Thursday April 3rd, 2014 8:47:11 AM We haven't finished with the ships yet, Spire. I'm sure we can talk our way onto Phen's ship, seeing as he did give us permission. And there's the other two yet to look into.
DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Thursday April 3rd, 2014 11:32:18 AM
@ The Wayfarer
Gruumshal thanks you for the prayers for the dead. You can see he is genuinely upset at the loss. He keeps quiet for a second before uttering his own silent prayer.
" I do not know what caused it, but I do know all those bodies floating in the water are from the three ships with crews remaining at the docks. No bodies belong to any townsfolk."
@ The Rakehell
The two sailors disapear for a brief moment, talking among themselves, before popping back up.
"Tell him we lost five in the night. Now if your done, beat it before we make yout body less watertight. "
Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 57 of 71] Thursday April 3rd, 2014 12:59:00 PM
"Thank you, Captain. I believe we will be seeing Terza again soon. Would you like me to pass a message?"
Magana has the thought that the missing innkeeper may be behind the troubles here, and makes a mental note to bring it up to with her crew mates at the next opportunity.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 60/60 (raging 84/84)] Thursday April 3rd, 2014 3:00:08 PM
Terser heads to the last ship to see if he can raise anyone's attention there. Then, he will join in with Sam's suggestion of asking questions of the high priestess.
Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC13/ T13/ F10/ CMD 17) HP 47/47 Thursday April 3rd, 2014 5:36:47 PM
Kane' thinks about how they can get answers, silently contemplating.
....................... Loss of Domain, Granted power, and Domain spells
The old liontaur repeats Aex's suggestion of waiting for the storm to pass. But he disagrees, himself.
"I do not think that we should wait forr the storrm to pass," says Zeoll. "because the evil call to waterry death continues thrrough the downpourr."
"I think we should seek out the prriestess, or the town fatherr. We spoke to them beforre, but now we have a name. I want to ask them about this Fatherr Nogad."

Though the prospect of staying outside any longer isn't what Aex had in mind she nods to Zeoll... She would like to return to her Gnome self and be able to speak but she would get blown away in this weather!
After checking each of the ships (scent 38) Aex follows the group to the Priestess... she also believes there was more she knew when they first saw her...

Coer checks over the Lionfish to see if it has sustained any damage in the storm before following his friends along the docks.
ooc: And I have internet access again - sorry all. Separate IT issues at home AND at work meant I have been confined to the real world. damage check - Sailor; 21
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/15 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday April 3rd, 2014 8:03:19 PM "Should we really be going back to the priestess so soon?" Spire follows Terser to the other ship, protesting against the rain and wind. "She might not even answer the door. The woman has good reason to be a bit afraid of our group."
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday April 3rd, 2014 10:36:35 PM
Sam joins terser and others in wanting to talk to the priestess. With how allusive she was earlier, he is almost certain she has the information they require.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 37/49 d20+6=23 ; Friday April 4th, 2014 9:55:39 AM
"Watch your tongue. I could your bodies to those in the sea an no one would be the wiser."
Otherwise satisfied with the half orc's answer, Jozhur heads off to check out the third ship.
----------- Intimidate: 23
DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Friday April 4th, 2014 12:26:28 PM
While contemplations of revisiting the priestess are made, some of the group head to the last ship, The Potentate.
"Stop while your ahead" yells a human sailor, peaking over the railing. He holds a crossbow in his hands, and his compatriot behind him has a similar one.
"We're not buying and we're not selling so head back to the other ships and away from us."
At the Lionfish, Coer can see there is no structural damage.
Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC13/ T13/ F10/ CMD 17) HP 47/47 Friday April 4th, 2014 2:21:37 PM
Kane' keeps up with the others, not yet willing to say what is on his mind. The others will come around soon enough.

Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 60/60 (raging 84/84)] Friday April 4th, 2014 3:56:17 PM Well, they seem very defensive, but there's naught we can do about that. Let's go find out about this Father that seems to be in charge. He walks next to Sam, providing as much of a windbreak as he is able, and helping him along when the winds blow especially strongly.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Friday April 4th, 2014 8:32:31 PM
Sam hangs on to his brother, Terser as they head to the Priestess' home. He shows little concern if others decide to investigate other leads to this mystery. Once there, he knocks on the door of the familiar place.
Oo to DM-I'm not normally a "let's split up the party" kind of guy. Sorry for any headaches.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP33) Saturday April 5th, 2014 8:48:23 AM
Zeoll follows along. The group needs answers. Eventually, someone is going to provide them ... will they, nil they!
Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 57 of 71] Saturday April 5th, 2014 11:01:27 AM
Magana rejoins the party en route to the priestess' home, resolved to either getting answers or wreaking havoc.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Saturday April 5th, 2014 8:55:12 PM
As Sam heads towards the house with the group, he wrestles with the ethics of the situation.
"How far can we go to unravel this mystery without being evil as well? There are no apparent law-keepers. Everyone who lives here seems to want to cover up what is going on. With lives at risk and no end in sight, maybe it is best to consider all who oppose us in this mission...as evil."
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 21 -- HP 64/68 (Ki 3/5) Sunday April 6th, 2014 5:07:19 AM
Satisfied the Lionfish has survived the storm intact, Coer wanders down the dock only to see half the team heading back into town.
This town is making everyone crazy he mutters as he walks over to Jozhur.
Making new friends Joz? Coer slaps his friend on the back and beams a cheesy grin to the man brandishing the crossbow
(StevenVdB) Aexana HP 49/49 - AC16/14/13 / +4 vs Giant - CMD 15 / +1 vs Lizard & Goblinoids Sunday April 6th, 2014 6:33:42 PM
Aex strongly doubts that the priestess will let the group in this time... perhaps an appolegy, some cookies to make up perhaps... something... anything...
And then there's that dreadfull hill to climb.
Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC13/ T13/ F10/ CMD 17) HP 47/47 Sunday April 6th, 2014 7:37:24 PM
Kane' shakes his head as Sam muses. "A far easier explanation is a people who are afraid and cowed by a situation and a small handful of strong-minded people, Sam Sir. It may be a case where we will have to save them even as they try not to be saved."
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 37/49 Sunday April 6th, 2014 9:24:58 PM
Jozhur decides this might not be the time for thoroughly checking the ships and turns to follow the others.
"Well hello to you too!"
"I guess we should join the others, Coer. I can stop by here later."
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Sunday April 6th, 2014 10:14:58 PM
Ooc-Was inter-monologue, but maybe Sam's face projects his thoughts. :)
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 17/13/15 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Sunday April 6th, 2014 11:54:32 PM
Spire stands at the end of the dock, pleading with each of the party members as they pass, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. "I truly believe this is a bad idea," the elf proclaims multiple times. "I doubt we will be well-received. She may not even open her door to us."
DM Shawn - One Rainy Day Monday April 7th, 2014 1:05:06 PM
"He aint no friend of mine minotaur, and neither are you. Why don't you show some intelligence and follow what the man said and head back to your friends. This boat isn't your boat, and these people aren't your people. You have a problem talk to Captain Creel at the inn."
The others, and Coer and Jozhur if they wish to join, begin to head back to their favorite priestess. The thoughts of her warm, caring, and giving house send promises of joy as much the storm sends promises of dryness. As for the storm, as if dialed down, it begins to rain less and the winds resemble a breeze more then a strong gust. As usual, when a storm ends, people are seen as well. In the distance, too far to reach, people are headed up the hill friom their houses to the church. The hurriedly run, as if they know the storm might kick back into gear any second.
Zeoll follows along with the group, wondering if the break in the storm will also lead to a break in the mystery.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 60/60 (raging 84/84)] Monday April 7th, 2014 2:00:02 PM Perhaps the priestess if giving a service. If so, we may not have to bother her at home. She may be more receptive during visiting hours in her place of power and worship.

Happy the storm begins to die down Aex returns to her own Gnome self. Her vibrant green clothes soaking wet sshe hustles along to keep up with the larger ones of the group.
As she notices several seem to making their way to church Aex says: "Looks like more are to seek answers and guidance from the priestess... I'sd say we better go check it out as well...who knows... we might actually find some answers! We're still missing our innkeeper... perhaps he'll show up as well!"
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Monday April 7th, 2014 7:27:06 PM
Sam smiles at both the changing of the weather and circumstances.
"I'm feeling like it is time to address a captive audience! No more dodging questions. Time to get some information."
As Sam and his companions get closer to the church, he casts "message" on himself.
Magana (Craig) [AC19] [HP 57 of 71] Monday April 7th, 2014 8:28:23 PM
Magana strides eagerly toward the church, buoyed by the improving weather and the prospect of a confrontation.
"Take heart, Spire. The gods favor the bold, and evil fades under the light of truth!"
Kane' Ma'Kai (SteveK) AC13/ T13/ F10/ CMD 17) HP 47/47 Monday April 7th, 2014 8:43:37 PM
ooc: Sorry! I thought it was external monologue! :-) ...............
Kane' is thankful the storm is dying down and agrees with the others to get to the church and the priestess. The Witch's thoughts turn to the storm and the fish-men, and he catches Zeoll's eye as the half-elf stubbornly sticks to Jozhur's side.
"Zeoll Sir, you were outside at the first storm and singing. The storm wasn't bad until just before the singing started, yes? And this time the storm rose and fell in timing with the singing. It may be that we have a warning now when the next singing attack will be."

Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 21 -- HP 64/68 (Ki 3/5) Tuesday April 8th, 2014 6:23:04 AM
Coer waves to the crossbowman and turns to catch up with his friends "we shall tell the captain how you courageously defended your ship
He hustles forward not wanting to be left behind and settles into pace with Spire and his Minotaur shaped shadow, Magana.
Hearing Spire's grumbling he responds I don't wear armor and the gods like me. You're just still sore about that time you died... .... .... oh look, the weather looks to be clearing
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 37/49 Tuesday April 8th, 2014 6:45:10 AM
Jozhur heads up to the temple with the others, hoping the group finally gets some answers.
"Perhaps, Kane. It is an odd coincidence the storm and that noise even happened on the same night."
