The Scourge Dies -- BUT WAIT!! (DM Cayzle) d6=1 ; d20+2=20 ;
Thursday September 11th, 2014 5:52:40 PM

The party cheers Grell's return from the very brink of death!

Rag looks at the fallen dragon. Yes, it is surely true, as Scales says, that its hide is valuable.

Zero and Yeshua both like the idea of dragon hide armor. Best guess is that the hide of this monster could be used to make masterwork half-plate armor and a shield for a medium character.

Rag thinks it is almost as much a victim as Grell ...

HOWEVER, Emrys urges the group to pause before butchery! He wants to speak with the monster ... and on closer examination, he notes that it is at -6 hp, dying but stable, and of course unconscious -- BUT NOT DEAD YET!

Now what?

While the Scourge is unconscious Rag casts his one and only spell... Mark of Justice... The spell takes 10 minutes to complete so the monk just hopes he can keep the butchers away from the poor creature long enough...

"You shall no longer fullfill Draco's evil will... you shall no longer hurt these people or their boats at sea... should you do so you will never breath fumes again..."

Luckily, we can have a thorough discussion in 10 minutes...

"EMRYS! We need an arcane evaluation, post haste. What is this collar and what was it doing to the dragon? Because if it did not completely enslave its will, I am not allowing the creature to recover."

Sir Royston will examine it himself as well. Knowledge (arcana) 24

Grell, 27/86

Washing the blood off his armor and relishing on the sting of the salt on his wounds, Grell watches Emrys cautiously. He hopes that the witch isn't going to try and bring the dragon back to life, because quite frankly he doesn't think he can take another round with it. Still, he holds his tongue, though he does head away from the beach head.

Grabbing Lowell in a shoulder hug, Grell looks over at his brother's hand crossbow. "You know, we should probably look at tightening the string on this...you haven't had a whole lot of luck recent..." Finding a glob of tar on the carrier, Grell playfully teases Lowell. "Well there's your problem right there! You do know you have to clean your equipment every once an a while, don't you?!" Grell fishes around his backpack and pulls out a cleaning rag and then proceeds to "instruct" Lowell on how to service his crossbow.

"Do not worry, Grell. I had no compulsion to raise the dragon from the dead. I was suggesting that I get a chance to speak with it's corpse. All living things leave an echo of their spirit behind when they pass. The dead don't necessarily keep their secrets." On second glance though, Emrys takes a step back from the beast. "Uhh, the Scourge is still very much alive ... and stable I may add!"

"Yes, Royston. I've already requested that the collar be removed ... I guess no one heard me. By its location and design, a collar is traditionally used for restraint and control over a creature. By that same logic and the laws of practical magic, the form signifies the function. The collar could be an implement of domination, not just enhancement. After all, it is illogical for a turtle to wear a collar. It would be quite uncomfortable for its retractable neck. Also, look at the scarring along its back. His shell was forcefully removed. Dragons are very proud and vain creatures, no dragon would willingly do this to itself. It would be like cutting off my own beautiful locks ... the idea is absurd!"

Having finished his short, yet highly informative lecture, Emrys moves in close to the Scourge's neck and places his hands on the collar. He first casts Detect Magic, but again the spell fizzles (Leyline: 16). Emrys sighs, "This has been happening far too frequently lately ... I suspect it's from all the necromancy." He tries again and the cantrip finally fires off correctly (Leyline: 23). He examines the auras and determines the strengths and identities of each. He then casts a second divination (leyline: 94 free cast, woot! Casting Identify.) to give him a better, more decisive prognosis.

(Knowledge [Arcana]: 21. Spellcraft: 35, to identify the collar.)

Emrys determines that the collar is a Belt of Dexterity +6.

Rag casts his spell successfully.

"That is all I needed to hear." The paladin growls low in his belly, his teeth and fingers lengthen and sharpen, becoming wicked talons and menacing fangs. He roars to the heavens, and sinks his teeth into the dragon's exposed neck.

Sir Royston performs a coup de grace on the unconscious dragon.
Bite attack with Power Attack, automatic critical. (1d8+15, 1d8+15) 41 damage.
Fortitude DC 51 vs. death.

Lowell laughs at his brother pointing out the tar. "Okay, okay! I'll take better care of my stuff."

"Hey, what are you doing?!?!" Lowell blinks in surprise as Royston attacks the defenseless dragon. Sure, he was angry at it, but that was no way for it to go! Emrys was planning on doing something important, and now Royston just killed it! Besides, it might not have been completely evil!

Zero rushed towards Royston when he saw him lunge at the dragon, but he was too late. He didn't even have time to voice an objection before the dragon was gone.

"You should not have done that. You do not make decisions for everyone. Definitely not for me."

Zero tossed his flask down angrily and moved away. Seconds later he came back for his flask, took a slug of it, and turned towards Royston again and raised a grubby finger.

"You do not make decisions for me, Paladin" he spat. "If it's the will of the group, so be it, but no one man or woman, holy warrior or not, chooses for me."

Rag just cannot believe what Sir Royston just did!! The monk was too late to stop this act of foolishness... but he stronly condems this act.

"... may the blood of this poor creature of nature forever put a stain on your soul... no true hero would do such an evil act! "

Friday September 12th, 2014 9:55:04 AM
Sir Royston does not look pleased. "You mush-brained fool. This is not some 'poor creature'. This is a rampaging monster, who nearly killed one of us and plainly stated its intention to destroy the town. It is farcical to call my actions evil. Your spell would have prevented the use of its breath weapon, but it still has claws, and teeth, and spells at its command. Its master could be close by, observing us even now, and ready to remove the curse at a moment's notice, or heal it of its wounds. What then!? Do you happen to have a pair of colossal shackles in your belt pouch? Ridiculous. I don't think it is very heroic to endanger the lives of others to satisfy your own conscience."

Evaris [AC 19; HP 11/64] d20+19=28 ;
Friday September 12th, 2014 1:30:39 PM
Evaris, too, is distressed at Sir Royston's hasty actions, but he does his best not to show it.

"We are all responsible for our own consciences," he says. "Sir Royston must one day account for his actions, even as this creature is now accounting for his. We do our best to follow the strictures of our gods, but we cannot claim to speak for them. Sir Royston believes his actions were justified. Even I do not know whether Lord Pantheon agrees. I would have preferred to have taken more time to deliberate before making such a final decision, but what's done is done."

[And that's a 28 Diplomacy to try to stave off an argument.]

Zero lowered his finger after Evaris spoke, but his face remained just as red.

"Aye, what's done is done" he said, his voice still bubbling with anger and agitation. "And I don't want
to see it happen again, not when we all have to live with the consequences. Bloody hell, I'm getting a drink.

And with that Zero stormed off with his flask.

Yeshua is troubled by the Roystons impulsive action, especially since it was in opposition to what many in the group wanted to do. He agrees with the others that the paladin should have talked to the rest first. Whether he was right or wrong is irrelevant and he should have spoken to the group first.

Disgusted with what just transpired Rag turns away from the slain dragon... he doesn't want to witness what comes next if they scavenge this once proud creature for its Dragon Scales.

Walking away from the beach Rag thinks back about the Cthonian Jungle... the place was filled with dangerous animals and plants but it felt like home...
If they want him to join the group to the confrontation with Draco, Rag will go. But once that is over, the Monk will return home... back to Chtonia.

(OoC: not to worry, I had decided already not to transfer this character to another game - the current issues in game just give me a roleplaying hook :-) )

Ariach AC 29/15 touch/19 AC, CMD23; HP 89/89
Friday September 12th, 2014 6:38:39 PM
First at all Ariach is very pleased that his friend Grell is still alive. Although he had given his word to deliver Grell´s message to Vaniime, Ariach feels relieved that he doesn´t have to face Vaniime. Not for anything in the world he wants to tell her why Grell died and why Ariach himself, Ariach who is known as a protector, is still alive.

The brute act of killing the defenseless creature unsettles him, too.
Yes, the turtle dragon is a dangerous wild beast but with this act Royston seems to be the same.
Maybe his thoughts about paladins were too naive, too pure or Sir Royston was leaving the righteous path.

Grell, 27/86
Saturday September 13th, 2014 1:02:33 AM
Grell watches with mouth hanging open as Scales performs his death blow. Not that he's a fan if the dragon, but the paladins bloody means of dispatch is... well... perhaps a little over the top. He reminds himself never to tick the guy off!

The Scourge DIES! (DM Cayzle)
Saturday September 13th, 2014 5:08:53 PM
Rag starts marking the helpelss dragon with a Mark intended to forestall future harm.

Royston, however, strikes at the downed dragon and ends it.

Some of the other heroes object vociferously. Others are merely shocked. Evaris tries to smooth things over.

Certainly, the threat of the SCOURGE is over.

Evaris begins by healing his friends. He gathers everyone together, and sends out bursts of positive energy.

Everyone heals 39 points.

Once that is done, he assesses his companions, and adds healing where it is needed.

He casts a Cure Serous Wounds on Grell, losing one of his prepared Water Breathing spells to do so. Grell is healed an additional 25 points.

He casts a Cure Moderate Wounds on himself, losing a prepared Status to do so.

He checks to see if there are any other lingering effects.

[If anybody else needs healing, speak up!]

Yeshua and Truman are still suffering from the battle and says, "We are still a few points short but some rest ought to take care of that. Your healing is much appreciated."

Truman enjoys a good meal of raw dragon turtle meat, but Yeshua decides to BBQ his portion of the carcass later. He helps the others remove the scale and says, "This should come in handy for whomever could use dragon armor or shields..."

While skinning it, he makes sure to keep an eye out on the surrounding area, looking for any threats that might suddenly appear, by land, air or sea...

With Evaris's healing Rag's just one point short to be at full health again.
About half an hour later he returns to the beach hoping the butchers at least had the decency not to leave the creature there to rott.

Zero sat with his thick stubby legs hanging over a dock as he took another slug from his flask. Sadly, all he got was drops.

"Bah!" he spat as he threw the empty flask into the water. It landed about twenty feet out, but after a few minutes the waves brought it back to him, so he grabbed it with his toes and put it away. "It's as if you want me to drink, Mother Wold" he mumbled.

A short while later he returned to the others. His mood was still sour, but his anger had subsided. " Eat some of these", he offered as he held out a hand full of wild berries. "They'll nourish you and heal you up a bit also."

Lastly, he walked over to the dragon and whispered a silent prayer. Maybe the magnificent creature deserved to die, but that didn't change the fact the it was magnificent. Dragons were special. They were the Gods most splendid creation, and they deserved respect.

In the back of his mind, Zero also thought of the creatures scales and the splendid armour they would make. It was a thought that made him feel dirty, but he thought it nonetheless. "Forgive me Mother".

Faust lets a frustrated sigh once the dragon is slain, but is not particularly bothered by it, it was indeed out of its way to cause problems.

The drow will spend his time studying the creature, making notes and doodles about this unusual dragon turtle. If he happens to notice anything still broken from the attacks, he'll revision his prepared spells and use make whole to fix whatever can be fixed.

((OOC: I'm not sure, can wizards still re-choose their daily spells by spending another hour or so? I remember a rule from 3.5 that allowed such a thing.))

Sunday September 14th, 2014 9:25:39 PM
Emrys looked on stunned and shocked at the brutality of Royston. He is also angered by the fact that his newcomer had taken upon himself to decide the fate. "Are you daft? Death is never a permanent solution, especially with a foe as powerful and clever as Draco!"

Emrys begins to pace back and forth and then his index finger is raised to emphasize a point. "The attack on this town was a fool's errand for a dragon. The magical wards that prevent the beast from coming to shore are still in place. A barrier the Scourge was never going to pass ... and Draco KNOWS this! However, what do we have now! We no longer have a dragon ... lo and behold, we have a mountainous pile of flesh! The possibilities are endless for a powerful magic user like Draco. If we drag the carcass to shore, past the barriers, what keeps the dragon from being resurrected? Or better yet, why not animate the beast as an undead and bypass the magical wards altogether! Did it ever cross your mind that the Scourge was sent here to die? This is the Emerald Horse all over again!"

He paces a few more steps and continues, "There is no way around it now. The body needs to be destroyed! Give me 10 minutes to try and gain some information from the corpse. During which I suggest you all sharpen your axes and cleavers."

Emrys will cast a necromancy in order to speak with the dead. He begins to chant the ritual.

Grell gives Evaris an appreciative slug to his shoulder for the healing he recieves. "Thank you very much friend!" Up to full health, Grell sets about helping Truman skin the dragon, which is no small feat. He looks longingly at the hide. "This will make some beautiful armor for a worthy warrior. I do not deserve the honor of wearing it. Will you be taking it or one of your companions?"

Grell looks over at Lowell. "Hey bro, you gonna help out with this, or you gonna finish up cleaning that crossbow?' Grell chuckles at his own joke, knowing that Lowell never was one for blood and guts.

Lowell (Genevieve) HP40/40, AC 19/13/19,

Lowell turns his head away in disgust as Grell begins carving up the dragon. Sometimes it amazes him that though they are identical twins, he and his brother are so different from one another. And not just the hair and the brains! With a loud "Hmmph", Lowell turns away from his brother's taunting about the dragon. No way he was going to stoop to Grell's level. "Actually, there is work that needs to be done while you're over there playing butcher." Lowell watches Emrys with interest...he's never seen anyone speak with the dead before. Then he heads back over to the villagers and makes sure that everyone is doing well and that nothing has happened to them while they were fighting the Scourge.

"You mewling pusillanimous poltroon. Our virtue is not determined by hypothetical happenings and conjectured conniving.

I will not have us be a cat's-paw in some madman's scheming, and I will not allow bizarre and twisted interpretations of mercy to stay my hand."

Evaris heals the heroes. Grell thanks him.

Rag then steps away, disgusted.

IF Truman bites into the dragon meat before Emrys casts Speak with Dead, then ... Truman bites into the dragon while its heart's blood still runs hot. Truman, please make a Fort Save vs DC24; either way, Truman is unconscious for 3d4 = 8 minutes.

IF Truman waits for Emrys to cast, then the blood cools, and there is no need for any save.

Yeshua, please decide on Truman's action.

Emrys uses strong magic to speak with the dead dragon.

What does Draco plan to do next?

"He is angry. He will try one more time to convince Sturtevant."

Where is Draco?

"In his undersea Dragon Bay lair, or maybe he has left it to come here."

Were you mutilated and sent here against your will?

"No."

Yeshua and Grell tackle the skinning of the SCOURGE.

Zero hands out some tasty berries and is tempted too -- but refrains from -- joining in on the butchery.

Faust looks for things that are broken, but the only thing is the boat you filled with acid as a trap against the dragon. That boat cannot be restored -- too dissolved/sunk/broke.

OOC to Faust: Per the rules, you can leave some spell slots unfilled, and then prepare spells in those slots later in the day, with about 15 minutes work.

Lowell watches Emrys's magic, then sets off to check on the village. It is all fine. No damage, no enemy. The villagers are a good hour walk up into the foothills, so Lowell will have to check on them later.

Most of the party has condemned the slaying of the SCOURGE. Royston defends himself with harsh words. Ariach stands close by to stop trouble that might erupt..

Evaris reels and winces a little when Grell gives him a friendly punch to the shoulder. The guy doesn't know his own strength!

As Yeshua is no fan of rash action and criticized one of their group for doing so, he is more than willing to hold Truman back from eating until the spells are cast. It wasn't easy, as Truman is hungry, but he promises him a Jayhawk (kudos to whoever gets that reference) if he will wait a while for dinner...

Zero closed his eyes and took a deep breath when Royston spoke. He didn't understand the big words that the Paladin used, but they made him angry nonetheless. He clenched his fists tightly, but kept his composure.

And then the dragon spoke. Suddenly the focus of Zero's anger was off Royston and on to Draco.

"Tell me more of this Draco. I need to understand my enemy before I swim out to his lair and cut him down."

With the anger dissipated, Sir Royston turns his attention to the dragon. He walks over and holds up one of its slack limbs. He rubs his chin thoughtfully, then draws a dagger from his belt and begins cutting at the shoulder and elbow. "This beast's humerus bone will make for a perfect walking stick once it is carved."

(Ooc: sorry for not posting last night. I had a late appointment with my eye doctor and my eyes remained dialated all evening. I couldn't see well enough to read anything. )

Turning to Ariach, with a warm smile and a hand on his shoulder, he says, "Thanks Ariach, at least my honor doesn't need defending."

A short moment later after a thought (Knowledge [Religion]: 25), he asks Evaris, "Do you have a Consecrate spell prepared? That's the only thing I know of that would prevent this mountain of flesh from being animated by undeath. Who knows what contingencies Draco has placed upon this beast!"

As a precaution, Emrys places a preservative enchantment on the carcass to prevent it from rotting and releasing possible magically enhanced toxins to the local fishing waters.

Evaris squints at the distant figure, but can make out nothing at this distance.

"We may need to go out and meet him," he says, and casts Water Walk on anyone who wants it (casting twice if necessary).

In agreement, Emrys confirms what everyone sees. "The rider is human, armored in dragonhide and flying in fast! Prepare yourselves!"

Rag stands idle but holds a mage armor potion in his hands... if this turns out to be a hostile meeting he'll quaff the potion and this time he won't wait for nothing...

Faust accepts the waterwalk as he only prepare fly once for the day.

"I do wonder, was the dragon here out of its own free will or it only believed to be here out of its own free will? There are spells that could easily persuade any intelligent being into biding to your musings, especially if they're already in friendly terms with you."

"Also, mr. Scalesworth, mr. Myrridanmyl speaks the truth, one can only be so cautious when dealing with spellcasters, we are a crafty bunch and, frankly, getting a creature under your control dead and reborn in necromancy is such a simple yet ingenious plan I'm insulted for not coming to the possibility myself, ergo, please refrain from taking hard to reverse decisions in the future without proper consideration."

Yeshua and Truman, who are on active surveillance after eating a healthy meal of dragon turtle (Perc = Yeshua 30), see the figure and agree with the assessment of their friends...

They move to somewhere that could provide cover, and wait to see how things go... Diplomacy is not their role, but if this turns into a fight, then they'll step in...

(OOC - I still need to update Yeshua/Truman to take into acct the new xp and will do it this weekend. Cayzle, I sent you an email about him and did you have a chance to review it yet? Thx)

Alerted by the others, Grell draws his bow and watches as the stranger approaches. Percet=26. He makes sure his sword is nearby since things probably won't work well.

"Hm?" Lowell notices the figure riding the wyvern approaching the group. "Hey, do you see that person, Grell? He's wearing some cool looking armor! How do you think he got it?" Noticing his brother take out his sword, Lowell takes out his crossbow, hoping that he wont need to use it with all the bad luck he had been having so far.
Perception=26

Sorry for a quick DM Post ...

The figure is now three rounds away by flight. Any last actions before he arrives?

Also, please state your location on this map. Note that the dragon corpse is at AG-AH-12-13.

OOC how much time has passed since we cast our buff spells? I assume the long duration stuff is active? If not I will recast bark skin, and have Mage armor cast on me with my wand.

Zero's stood next to the fallen dragon as his body began to twist and conform into a new form. His body turned green, more attractive and smaller. Around his body a massive flower bloomed, and large flowering vines appeared that lifted Zero into the air. It was an odd sight seeing a smaller Zero sitting in the depths of an enormous, sweet smelling flower.

Zero the Alarune took up position on the beach 20' to the left of the fallen dragon.

It has been just about thirty minutes since the SCOURGE died, give or take a few. Long term spells are likely still going (remove 30 minutes from durations, please).

"Emrys, you're our diplomat," Evaris says. "Do you speak Draconic? Would you like a Tongues spell?"

Nervously Rag watches the figure getting closer. His hand sweats on the potion he holds... the other hand closed tight around the Quarterstaff... he gazes upon the staff and wonder if he shoudln't just go in bare handed like he used to do...

(what is the duration of the elixir of insight?)

Emrys does his best to stand with confidence, even though he is entertaining the thought of turning invisible (standing in AD-13). However with Ariach and Evaris by his side, he is comforted with the fact, that if Draco attacks, he wont be dying alone (just joking :).

Turning to Evaris, he answers, "No, I speak Draconic just fine. Thanks anyway." His mind begins to race and he composes a diplomatic plan. Somehow convince Draco that this plan is futile and will only lead to more dead dragons. First though, he is interested to see if Draco is dragon enough to be repelled by the magical barrier.
