Matthew S. Co-DM The Storm (11:00 am) (Co-DM Matt) Tuesday November 14th, 2017 7:21:13 PM Rolth perked up and headed toward the cave entrance along with Kiwina, Sable, Elyas and Finnian. The sky over the water is dark and from this distance anything in the water is also black. The storm is blowing the wind across the entrance like daggers as the remaining trees outside strained to stand. Kiwina figured it would be safe to walk out into the storm. Just a little extra difficult to stand. (Acrobatics vs Dc 11 - if going outside the entrance) Several of you do notice figures lying outside the cave entrance. All of them large and taur-like. Upon a closer study you notice they are taurs. Two centaur and a minotaur to be exact. Their clothes are torn and they are wet. They struggle to move, let alone stand up. --- Tsak uses the rocks to create a windbreak and protect the firepit. He asked for help with starting a fire. An able-bodied young liontaur offers to help and the fire is lit and warm. Elyas tries to assure the mother but she is still apprehensive. He asks to help. Falco approached Tsak and asked for thoughts on any history. The mother of two replied, “I have never, in my history, seen a storm like this. This clan has been here for thousands of years.” To Elyas, “Some answers would be helpful,” she replied, knowing full well answers will be hard to come by. Gothruk, further within the cave, listened and found some of the thuds seem to be coming from within one of the tunnels. It’s a soft thud followed by a crash. After a moment, there is a commotion and several sheep begin to wander toward the group. Their bahhing sounds distressed and pained, louder than a man speaks. ----------
Kiwina (BatMark subbing for Steve) d20+2=21 ; Tuesday November 14th, 2017 8:44:48 PM
Kiwina says, "The aumakua would not look favorably upon us if we do not even try to save these taurs, let us move to see what can be done." With that, he shields his face from the wind and moves toward the fallen taurs. (Acrobatics = 21, success) If they do not appear to pose a threat, physical or eldritch, he will try to ask them how they came to be here, and whether they would join us in the caves. If they agree, he will help one of the centaurs, using a loop of rope if necessary.

Rolth sees his comrade Kiwina move out into the rain, and is determined to join him. "Domi, grant me strength!" he mutters as he shoulders into the wind, moving toward the other centaur. (Acrobatics = 18, success) He follows Kiwina's lead, checking over the centaur before offering to help.

Tsak decides not to go out in the storm, but tries to get a rope around those that do so that they can be pulled to safety if required. He moves to assist any taurs once inside the cave, helping them to a place by the fire and seeing what can be done for cuts or abrasions.

Sable thinks Tsak’s idea of using a rope is a good one - he prepares to haul in folks from the storm as needed (Strength check - 23). While waiting to haul in the Taurs, he will take a hard look at the sheep (Knowledge Nature - 24).

Looking at the story Falco thinks he will be little use helping out there. At his weight he may just blow clear out to sea. Instead of helping with that he gathers the children in the near one of the walls.
"Children come here and I will tell you a tale." if the children move near him begins a tale of a group of travelers who also face a storm and find themselves on an island, their boat wrecked.
It begins: "Sit right here and I will tell a tall, a tale of a fated trip. It started right here on this very isle with a skipper who was true. Sadly the weather started getting rough and their sturdy ship was tossed. The crew was brave and they landed on an uncharted little isle."
He goes on as long as they will listen about the peoples zany adventures. Each idea more outlandish then the last until they are happily rescued by a passing ship.

Gothruk will do his best to not seem threatening towards the sheep. He'll walk steadily towards them guiding them into the cave, he's no master but he's seen farmers move livestock before and attempts to imitate. (isn't trained in handle animal)

Elyas squints out of the cave entrance, but for now feels like he would be more of a hindrance than a help in carrying the Taurs in from the storm. He doesn't want to be stuck out there himself needing to be rescued.
Instead, he casts Light on a fist-sized rock and tosses it out into the storm to help his companions see more clearly. (perception roll of 12 as he tries to see anything else lit up by his glowing rock)
Do you two see anything out there? He calls out to Kiwina and Rolth

[ooc So since I just had the opportunity to prepare my spells I am going to say that I had prepped CLW and left my other slot for level 1 spells open and can fill it with 15 min. meditation.]
Finnian follows the other two out into the rain leaving his bow unstrung in the cavern so as to nit dampen his string. Naturally acobatic Finnian leaps into the wind but he has to focus all his ability to not be blown away. [Acrobatics=14] The rain makes it hard to see but he does his best to keep alert as he moves as fast as he can to help the fallen Taurs. [Perception=12]
Co- Dm shawn -the storm drenches d20=5 ; d20=9 ; d20=19 ; d20=9 ; Wednesday November 15th, 2017 9:26:27 PM Kiwina moves out to check on the taurs laying in the ground. The win pushes at him making his steps lumber and move at a slower pace.
[Rolth [/b] follows his friend and also has to push against the storm. One thing both notice is sound is being drowned out. A yell might get lost in the winds like a grain of sand on the beach.
Tsak comes up with the idea of tying a rope on those that go out incase they need to be dragged in. Sable thinks its a good idea. (Ooc: if Rolth or Kiwina want it.. they can retro it in.)
The sheep came from deeper in the cave and look scared. A massive storm can do that to an animal.
Falco sits down and calls the children over and begins telling a story. First one child listens, then another... one by one about half the children trickle over to listen.
Gothruk moves closer to the sheep trying to heard them. A few bolt passed and start heading for the mouth. Some move back into the passage they came from. The bahhing doesnt stop.. they are still scared.
Elyas decidesn he would be more help in the cave and casts light on a rock and throws it into the storm. He calls out to see if any of them see anything.
Finnian moves up to to the beach with the others. His eyes strain against the rain and wnd.
The trio venturing onto the beach are aboit halfway to the taurs. The wind and rain is like a wall.. it slows everything to a standstill.
The taurs can be seen to be soaked... their cloaks are saturated.

Rolth gratefully accepted the offer of a lifeline from Sable. With this added security, he pushes on toward the fallen taurs. (Acrobatics = 13, success!)
Kiwina (BatMark subbing for Steve) d20+2=8 ; Wednesday November 15th, 2017 9:49:34 PM
Kiwina also accepts the assistance via rope from Tsak and presses on toward the Taurs on the sand. However, the wind proves too much, and he stumbles to his knees before he can reach his goal. (Acrobatics = 8, fail)

Tsak does not yet attempt to retrieve Kiwina as he may still recover and reach a fallen taur. In fact keeping the rope firm so that Kiwina does not fall further, he realises that he will need help if he is to return his giant friend to the cave. Straining to have his voice heard over the wind, Falco's preposterous imitation of a screwy first-mate and the bleating of rogue sheep he yells to Gothruk and Elyas for assistance.

With the storm going on outside and deeper into the caves surrounded by panicked and loud sheep, Gothruk dosn't hear Tsak's calls for aid.
He keeps trying to calm the sheep that are still around him.
(OOC - I don't know what to do! Can someone not trained in handle animal calm an animal at all? Logically so but I don't know how that converts mechanics wise. The closest thing I can think of is Diplomacy so I'm going to keep rolling that.)

Falco watches his partners as they go about dealing with things outside. Only going out there if I have to I think. Not a place for someone who ways as little as me.
Seeing the kids gather, instead of finishing his story he adds some in the middle. A tale about a meteor that landed on the island. Any who got close to it aged very quickly only to have their age revert with distance. After some zany misadventures by the 1st mate Billigan they manage to tie the rock to a log and set it adrift.

Kiwina takes the rope from Tsak but the wind forces him to stumble. Sable manages the rope and steps into the sheep causing them to turn back into the cave. Tsak doesn’t yet attempt to retrieve Kiwina figuring he may still reach one of the fallen taurs. He shouts for help from the others. Gothruk is unable to hear Tsak’s call for aid. He tries to calm the sheep by talking to them. The animals are terrified and indifferent to Gothruk so the attempt doesn’t result in much of anything. The sheep, though begin to settle after a moment. Falco watches his partners outside. He decides to comfort the many children with a tale. Elyas moves to help Tsak hold the rope. --- Gothruk notices large patches of fur pulled from the sheep, leaving them bald in several areas. Deep within the cave is another crash and a growl. The sounds of hooves approaching.
Outside in the wind and rain Rolth manages to reach the first taur. Rolth only: Highlight to display spoiler: { A centaur stands uneasy in front of you. It’s right arm is broken and swings freely. It’s knees are bowed. The human-like figure standing in front of you slumps forward staring with a pair of fearful eyes.

Kiwina only Highlight to display spoiler: { The Minotaur stands several feet from him. Through the rain you can make out the human-like figure with the enlarged torso and head. You can also make out that the taur is dragging his right foot. The taur notices you and suddenly summons a spectral echo of the rushing waters. The rush of water carries the minotaur toward the cave entrance. Kiwina Acrobatics vs DC 20 due to flood. To avoid being carried into the cave entrance.} A rush of water bursts into the cave entrance. A broken minotaur is carried into the cave. He searches for Kiwina but notices Tsak standing near and bull rushes CMB 11 vs. Tsak CMD Note: This bull rush attempt doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity.

Rolth looks into the haunted eyes of the broken centaur, and is shaken. (Will save = 6, fail) He nevertheless tries to put a brave face on it and encourage the taur to grasp forearms with his good arm, and head back to the safety of the cave. His sickly smile may not be very convincing. (Diplomacy = 7)

Elyas is startled to see the minotaur coming in on a wave of water and going after Tsak.
His first instinct is to attack this newcomer, but he quickly decides not to be the one to escalate this into a full-on bloody fight.
Instead, Elyas hangs on to the rope and backs into the cave as others start drawing weapons. He casts his protective ward (OOC, +1 deflection AC to all allies in 10 feet for 3 rounds, use 1 of 6 for the day)
He also tries to identify what spell the Minotaur used, hoping to get an idea of what kind of caster they're dealing with here. Spellcraft check = 14

(CMD=18, sense motive=3, attack = 22, damage = 8) Tsak has no chance of avoiding the taur. He is able to keep his balance as he slides for a bit along the worn cave floor, dissipating the energy of the attack. Having no understanding of this unknown taur's motives and feeling like he was targeted, he reacts by going into battle mode - with a roar he swings his sword at his opponent.

(OOC: correction. You are near the cave entrance.. It’s a bit rocky and at a higher elevation than the beach. -- The entrance to the cave is 30 foot wide and 20 foot height. -- Gothruk is 50 foot from the front entrance. The cave height, at the back of the cave, is the same but the length of the entrance in front of Gothruk is 10 foot. A second entrance is to your left. ) Finnian struggles out in the rain. He is ten-foot near from the centaur and the shaken Rolth. Kiwina[b] tries to stand but is washed up and carried into the cave entrance, leaving him prone and 20 foot from the drenched minotaur. [b]Rolth is shaken up.. (OOC: Roll 1d6 for # of rounds shaken. Take off one for this round) Rolth stretches forward to help the centaur but the eyes of this creature have no soul. It heartlessly attempts a water filled slam upon the shaken liontaur but it misses. The slam, plus the wind and rain also causes the centaur to fall forward to his knees prompting an AOO. Falco turns to see the commotion. He sees the large minotaur near Tsak. Elyas is startled by the arrival of the minotaur. He casts a protective ward on his allies and studies the Flood spell the minotaur cast but unfortunately the minotaur cast the spell 30 feet away and in the wind and rain. ---- The minotaur looks to Tsak. The minotaur takes the significant blow but says nothing. It barely reacts at all. It then charges to Gore with a pair of seaweed laden horns (Ac: 20 for 10 hp)
Gothruk draws his weapon as a wet centaur enters from the tunnel. This creature is broken beyond reason. Its head partially caved in. It holds the monstrosity of a face canted to the left. It's equine body thin and malnourished. A sudden flood of water carries the centaur into Gothruk (bull rush CMB: 10 vs. Gothruk CMD). (Acrobatics vs 12 Gothruk to stay on your feet) (This bull rush attempt doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity.) The water sweeps up several of the sheep and a few of the villagers. The rush of water stops near [b]Falco, delivering several of the children, sheep and older villagers.
A liontaur follows the centaur… but it waits and does not attack. Sense Motive vs DC 11 Highlight to display spoiler: {} The liontaur seems to be a bit confused but very angry. The anger is so strong[/spoiler[

(OOC: d6 =3, Rolth is shaken for three rounds, including this one)
Rolth sympathy for the broken taur turns to disgust, as he realizes that this is just a soulless husk rather than a fellow taur worthy of his concern. As the thing flounders to its knees in front of him, he takes a quick but shaky swat with his paw. (AoO: 17 to hit = miss, unless the floodslain centaur has an AC penalty for being on its knees; in the latter case, damage = 6)
With that, Rolth withdraws from this loathsome creature, moving back towards the cave entrance. (Withdraw action to double move back, avoiding an AoO; acrobatics = 17, success!) From there, he tries make sense of the chaos in the cave, but is too overwhelmed to take it all in. (Sense motive = 9, fail thanks to being shaken)

[Acrobatics=23] Seeing Rolth swing at the creature and then book it back past him towards the cave Finnian decides that trying to fight this thing out in the open with no bow is a bad idea. He turns and runs towards the cave but turns back and gestures to the ground raising his arms up. The plants in the area begin to grow and entangle the Taur.
[ooc: I forgot that I do always have entangle prepared, as it is my domain spell. If there are no plants in The area forget this, I'll just double move to the cave. But if I can cast it.

(Attack = 12) Tsak, heart hammering, keeps his guard up and his eyes firmly on the liontaur as he issues directions that he hopes make sense. Sable, go help Gothruk, Elyas give Rolth and Finnian a hand. Kiwina stick with me. He makes a stab at the Liontaur. It's a bit half-hearted, but hopefully he can distract the creature and give Kiwina a clear shot.

Reluctantly Falco steps forward and launches a little dart of acid at the closest attacker.

Rolth, still disturbed by what he saw in the centaur's dead eyes, steels himself to guard the cave entrance. "I am an Adventurer, and an Adventurer is within me. I am an Adventurer, and an Adventurer is within me." With that, he draws his glaive and casts a wary eye for foes approaching. (Rolth readies an attack with his glaive, to be taken if one of the floodslain comes within his 10' reach (+a 5' step if necessary) at the cave mouth. He will also take an attack of opportunity with the glaive if any floodslain attempt to move through his threatened area.) (Readied attack = 14, Damage = 5; AoO = 9, Damage = 14)
To Finnian, with a little quaver in his voice, "Nice spell. Now shoot it!

Finnian rushes over and sees his bow propt against the inside of the cave "There is no time" he thinks to himself. Drawing on the power of the Wold that the druids had given him Finnian allows his fists to grow hard. They stiffen with the rigidity of seasond oak and tiny thorns sprout out. he swings at the taur near Rolth.

(Ooc: Note - the liontaur is fifty feet from the entrance. You will need a move action to hit it.) Tsak Rezar throws out tactics for the others to follow. He stabs at the liontaur but misses.
Falco unleashes a little acid dart which connects on the flank of the floodslain centaur attacking Gothruk. Rolth steps back to the cave entrance, a mantra on his lips as he pulls out his weapon and readies incase one of the floodslain come to him. “Nice spell” he says to Finnian “Now shoot it.”
Sable tries to help Gothruk but fails.
Kiwina moves fifty feet, plants the end of the spear into the liontaurs flank for 6 dmg. If the creature felt pain, it does not show it.
Gothuk puts the floodslain centaur that was attacking him down. He looks to the other centaur and liontaur and sees he has a straight line to them.
Finnian runs towards the taur and casts a spell, turning his hands into thorns and wood. As he gets ready to attack the creature dies.
Elyas fires a shot from his crossbow. Even firing into melee doesn’t even fault his shot and it plows into the skull of the creature, splashing gore out the other side. The floodslain #2 is entangled from the spell, but starts breaking through the weeds and moving out of the area.
FS#4 swings at Kiwinaburying his axe into the mans shoulder. 13 dmg!. It also swipes at him but misses.

Rolth looks on in relief as Elyas and Finnian defeat the hideous thing that had been a centaur in life. He begins to calm down a bit, and peers out into the storm, watching for more of these creatures, and still shakily readying himself to attack them if they try to enter the cave.

Gothruk sees one of the other beasts land a huge slash across Kiwina and time seems to stop for a second before he realises that Kiwina is still alright, that would have downed, even killed any normal man. Enraged that it had caused a party member such injuries he charges trying to kill it but fails to land a meaningful blow. Aoo to hit = 14 if it provokes.

Elyas fires into the melee around the liontaur but misses. The bolt skirts close to Kiwina barely missing him. Falco fires off another acid dart and misses. The dart is also danger-close to Kiwina. Kiwina swings wildly with his Shortspear and short sword hitting for 3 dmg. (OOC: I got that you have two weapon fighting but hoof/hoof? That would be four attacks) Gothruk is angry and charges but misses the liontaur as it steps backward into the cave. Rolth is thankful they defeated the floodslain centaur. He watches for more creatures and is ready for anything. ---- The creature is hurt but… it slams its battleaxe into Kiwina. The axe almost tears his arm off, and the blood starts pouring out of the wound as soon as the axe comes out. (12 dmg) Crit confirmed.

Seeing that the last opponent has fallen Gothruk will stab his Guisarme deep into the creatures spine making sure it dead, (always doubletap with Zombies) before moving over to Kiwina helping him lay down so we can tend to his wounds.

(OOC: Here are the centaur combat rules; similar ones apply to liontaurs. Centaurs in Combat Centaurs use the same rules as all D&D creatures for natural attacks and attacks with manufactured weapons. As a standard attack, centaurs can make one hoof attack or one weapon attack. As a full round attack, centaurs can make usual weapon attacks and two secondary hoof attacks at -5 to hit. Centaurs can take the Multiattack feat to reduce this secondary attack penalty from -5 to -2. Centaurs can also take a unique Centaur Charge feat.)
Rolth sees that Kiwina is being well tended to, so he focused on the downed floodslain, searching them for signs that they are coming back to life--a staple of horror stories told around the campfire, clues to where and how they were turned into floodslain, and any loot they might still have.

Finnian rolls backwards and retrieves his bow. He begins to string it but notices that there are none of the creatures left standing. So instead he walks over to Kiwana and kneels down. "here," he says softly and places his hand on him. Still not sure of how it works Finnian begins to draw upon the power of the Wold to heal Kiwana. [Kiwana is heald for 5]
He raises and looks around. "what the blazes were those things?" he asks
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the storm drenches Friday November 24th, 2017 12:25:06 AM
Elyas' magic missle steals the last bit of unlife from the creature. Others rush to to Kiwina to make sure he is still with them, and give him some healing.
"What are these things" Finnian asks, but only gets a shrug or shake of the head. "Zombie?' one liontaur asks.
The storm seems to have picked up strength, as the wind is way stronger then before.The rain is coming down at odd angles, and is even bouncing off the ground hard enough that it feels like rain is coming from below.

Tsak has first aid materials and will use them to ensure that Kiwina is able to rest properly and gain the most from the good night's sleep that he (hopefully) will get despite the storm. Tsak himself is also feeling a little second hand and hopes that he will have a chance to rest for the night as well. Thank you Elyas, I don't know that I could have taken another whack from that creature.

Elyas nods to Tsak and Kiwina as they thank him, feeling happy that he was able to contribute this time instead of always being the one who needs help.
Is everyone ok?
Elyas looks around at the group to see who is injured and who got through unscathed.
Whatever those things were, they seem to be dead again. we should burn the bodies. There may be more of them out there, so we need to keep a close watch tonight. We need to watch the front and back

Rolth will suggest to Arostle that his people could help finish the rainblock at the mouth of the cave, using the materials at hand. If enough materials are available, a sheep pen might also be handy. As much as Rolth wants to explore deeper into the cave, to find out where the sheep and other floodslain came from, he sees the wisdom in resting and recovering tonight. Tomorrow, we can set out to explore a little bit. Rolth volunteers to take a watch at the mouth of the cave, and agrees that we need to watch the cave mouth and the back. (Perception = Perhaps Kiwina could sleep with one of the Potions of Healing, in case we have another attack and he needs to juice up before entering the fray.

Finnian had a new spell that he wanted try out, but seeing how hurt Kiwana is he will sit down and prepare another CLW and then cast it on him again. He will also volunteer to take a watch through the night, but asks that he is woken early so that he can fully prepare his spells before they start their day.

Leaving Kiwina in the hands of people capable of medicine and care Gothruk will help gather up the sheep if someone with animal handling skills can assist, I imagine there would be at least a couple farmers amongst the Coalborn clan. Afterwards he'll keep watch on the cave that leads deeper inwards. While people settle down to sleep.1D20+6=8
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the morning Saturday November 25th, 2017 10:35:05 AM Tsak uses his training to stop the bloodflow and suture the wound on Kiwina . Tsak does a good job and between that and the healing Kiwina is set.
Elyas is happy he was more of a help and not the one needing help. He suggests burning the bodies of the dead taurs. It would have to be done in the cave, due to the storm outside.
Kiwina takes time to relax and recuperate, but would rather be guarding the cave.
Falco checks on the townsfolk, especially the children. He tells them the petals are there for them and one Taur child runs to him and wraps his arms around him.
Rolth suggests to Arostle to ask if his people could help build up the weather defenses. He nods and says he'll have the men help. He also says they'll gather some rope and tie up the sheep.
Rolth sets up watches and decides they can search the cave in the morning.
Sable searches rhe bodies.. and other then the weapons and water logged clothes.. nothing is salvagable. One thing he notices.. the decayed flesh thats pulled away from the ribcage reveals the lungs are full of water.
Finnian was ready to use a new spell, but decides to heal Kiwina instead. He offers to take a watch. .
Gothruk helps gather up the sheep, and with Arostle's rope they are secured togther and tied off to a crack in the wall.
The night goes by at a snails pace. Thunder, lightning, win and rain assault the cave. Children cry through the night.. and sleep comes in patches. When Dawn comes the wold is not as it was the night before... flood waters are high.. and parts of buildings can be seen floating. The skys are dark and the wind is whipping up the sand and leaves. Then everyone notices... the storm hasn't moved... its as if its sitting ontop of the island.

Rolth points farther into the cave and asks, "Anyone know where that goes? And how it came to be that a flock of sheep and some broken taurs came at us from in there?" Barring some deep insight, he suggests that the Petals go deeper into the cave, to see what other threats or opportunities might be awaiting us. Rolth will volunteer to lead the way, at least as long as he will fit. If there is room, he will have his glaive at the ready, but if not, he'll have his morningstar out.

Tsak gives Rolth a wry grin: Mutton yesterday, mutton today and blimey if it don't look like mutton again tomorrow! Take a few people with you, and maybe leave a couple here with Kiwina and myself so we can continue resting without getting eaten or beaten. If someone can give Tsak some healing that would be awesome, in any case he'll spend 8 hours resting to get back on top of his aches and pains.

Accepting the plan to split up the party, Kiwina agrees to stay with Tsak and guard the families until the rest of the Petals report back or until it is time to go looking for them. "How long are you going to spend on this? An hour or two?" He does not think a prolonged absence would be good. "We survived the night without incident.

Finnian spends some time preparing his spells before rising to listen to the others. "I may be able to gleam some further insight before you venture back there," he says and approaches the sheep. Finnian spends a few minutes soothing the sheep and then casts a spell. He begins bleeting to them and a series of baahs is all that os heard from him for the next minute.
"Hello Mr. Sheep, I am Finnian. We are friends. Sorry to invade your cave. Have you been here for a while? Do any of you know where these creatures came from? Or what is back there? How far back is the cave? We want to make the cave safe. And if we can find an answer to where this storm came from. Any help would be awfully appreciated."
He finishes talking to the sheep and relays any information gathered to the party. Then announces that he too will stay with the wounded and casts a CLW on Tsak. Then hefts his bow to keep watch on the cave entrance. [Tsak 9 healing!]

He casts light on his dagger which he holds out as he prepares to move with the folks going to explore.
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the morning Monday November 27th, 2017 11:40:39 PM Rolth points further into the cave and asks if anyone is familiar with where it leads. He suggests they explore the cave system. Elyas is the first to follow Rolth into the cave system. Then Sable. Sable squeezes easily through the opening with a half a meter excess. Gothruk says, “I too would like to explore the cave. Even of we don't find anything we'll know it's safe to move further into the cave out of the rain being blown towards us. We should keep some petals here however incase there are more of those poor drowned meatsacks, we wouldn't want our wounded attacked while we were out.” He volunteers to lead the group. Falco is a bit worried about leaving the villagers but is prepared to move out with the others. Tsak gives Rolth a wry grin and says, “Mutton yesterday, mutton today and blimey if it don't look like mutton again tomorrow! Take a few people with you, and maybe leave a couple here with Kiwina and myself so we can continue resting without getting eaten or beaten.” Kiwina accepts the plan to split up the party. He stays with Tsak. He asks about the length of time they plan to spend exploring. He suggests that too much time apart may be bad. Finnian spends some time preparing spells and then says, “I may be able to gleam some further insight before you venture back there.” He then craftily talks to the sheep. ----- A couple of the liontaur villagers started to speak at the same time but a younger taur won the unconscious battle and said, “There are a couple ranchers that keep their sheep in the cave. My father is one. He points to an older liontaur near the campfire. That would explain the sheep. It’s sad that he has now lost several. It just doesn’t help us at all.” To Finian a ewe replies with a baa.. That short reply says a lot. Finian only: Highlight to display spoiler: { The ewe tells a terrifying story of taur falling from a large hole in the roof of the cave. After several moments they stood up and attacked anything that approached. That’s when the group began to panic and leave.}

Knowing that Kiwina is safe and on his way back to being healthy and that Finnian can rouse them in case of trouble Tsak allows himself to relax and sink into a deep, restful sleep for many hours. He wakes up feeling refreshed and eager for stories as to what the rest of the party has found. Thank you Finnian, I feel brand new Tsak is a little disappointed to hear that the sheep have owners, he was beginning to look forward to lamb roasted on a spit...

Gothruk is a bit crestfallen at hearing that the sheep are what's left of someone's livelyhood, especially considering he would have liked to eat one or two. Seeing that only three remain at camp Gothruk will change his mind and stay withdraw and Kiwina.

After the younger liontaur explains where the sheep come from and hopes to reassure him.
"There will be many losses I fear but if we pull together it will be ok. We may need to use some of your sheep to keep this group fed in the short term but in the long term I am sure your neighbors here will help you get back the loss in some way."
Turning back to the other Petals, "Shall we see what we find in further?"

Upon learning that the locals are familiar with the cave, Rolth briefly delays the exploration team to inquire about their knowledge of the cave layout, including any potential ambush points, access to the sea, and the like. Armed with that knowledge, he will lead the way into the cave, appreciating the light from Falco.

Elyas offers to cast light on Rolth's weapon as well if he will be leading the group.
He addresses the gathered taurs Does anyone here have experience with these caves and wishes to act as a guide for us? We need to make sure nothing more is coming from behind us

"keep your heads up while you are back there" Finnian says "apparently some Taurs came through a hole on the ceiling and started attacking them, that's when they fled. I will make sure that the grouo stays safe." he adds patting his bow. "don't be gone for too long."
With that Finnian turns back to guarding the entrance. He keeps an arrow stuck in the ground next to him that he continuously casts light on.
Kiwina (Steve M) (14/28 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:16) | Status: None Tuesday November 28th, 2017 7:35:51 PM
Kiwina listens to the accounts of the cave interior, wondering why people are gathered so near the entrance during the storm if there is greater shelter within,
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the morning Tuesday November 28th, 2017 11:49:56 PM Tsak gets a good amount of sleep and wakes up in the morning refreshed. Gothruk and Tsak are disappointed that the sheep are owned. Falco says, "There will be many losses I fear but if we pull together it will be ok. We may need to use some of your sheep to keep this group fed in the short term but in the long term I am sure your neighbors here will help you get back the loss in some way." Then asks to see if the others want to continue exploring. Rolth asks for information and the villagers are happy to explain that the cave goes back about a mile with several holes in the ceiling due to cave-ins. The sheep normally stay near the entrance, when no one is inside with them. They then advise that there are several dangerous sections past the first hole in the ceiling. Elyas offers to cast light on Rolth’s weapon. He asks for a guide but the villagers advise it’s much too dangerous with the rain coming in and the potential for cave ins. Finnian thanks the sheep and tells the group what he heard. Kiwina wonders why they stay near the entrance. --- The storm outside keeps up it’s relentless pounding on everything outside. Inside the cave, after 100-foot, you notice a circular chamber with a huge ceiling. Within that ceiling is a large hole. Rain falls from the sky into the center of the chamber. Some sheep skirt around the edges near the rock walls but most of the anti-chamber is flooded. The water seems to drain South into several other cave entrances.

Sable takes look at the sheep and rain to see if there is something more unnatural at play (Knowledge Nature - 16). He then prepares to advance into whichever tunnel the party chooses (he votes for the one on the right first).

Gothruk wants to sleep but knows that he can't let his guard down while the group is so vulnerable, so he keeps steady watch for anything trying to make it's way into the cave against the rain and winds.

Falco pushes on but is concious of how deep the water is.
"Petals, if this gets too deep I will not be able to join you. I am good at getting into small places but deep water presents a problem to us small folk."

Elyas will follow to the right, keeping an eye on the water, watching for any more water-logged zombies.
He thinks back and tries to remember any ingormation about what this cave has been used for in the past, maybe this huge room was man made?

Finnian waits vigilantly with his bow. He silently prays to the Wold. Asking the ground and the trees and the roots for guidance. He flexes his hands that were turned into wood earlier that day. "How could such power be given to me just as the Wold seems to be shattering around us," He wonders if there is anything he is meant to do with it.
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the cave Thursday November 30th, 2017 12:22:25 AM Sable looks for anything unnatural but the rain and the sheep are natural as far as you can tell. The storm above… there is something strange but it’s hard to figure out. Rolth looks up into the storm to see the strength of a full on hurricane swirling above. Small objects, possible creatures flying helplessly with it. Falco pushes on. The rocks are slick. The water, at this point is ankle deep, but slick. And he can tell its sloping down. Elyas watches for zombies. He recalls that this room was a place of worship for ancient treants that originally populated this area. The carvings begin to become noticeable along the walls. -- (Acrobatics vs DC 16 - to stay on your feet or get washed into the caves) Tsak checks the dressings on Kiwina’s wounds and relieves Finnian to get some rest. Gothruk keeps watch. He notices with keen perception that other taurs walk around outside the cave, or at least try to walk. The wind makes any step hard work but they keep trying, looking for something. Kiwina rests and tells stories to several of the hybrid children. Finnian wonders about his purpose in the Wold and asks the ground and trees for guidance. Some of the trees are screaming as they are ripped from the ground. Others, ancient treants, seem to be busy if not fighting for their life.

Rolth struggles to keep his feet. (Acrobatics = 13 if needed). He is reconsidering whether they should go down the tunnels, with no obvious threat or motivation to go that way, and the risk of the floodwaters. If necessary, he will crawl back to safety, and throw a rope to help others who might be in trouble.

Finnian reels back from the feeling that he received from the Wold. The pain, the screams, could thins really be the end? he wonders as he wipes his brow.
Are there any sacred places of power or sentient life that may be able to explain what his happening to the trees and treants. [know nature=11... Natural 1.nope not that I know of]

With misgivings about splitting up the party, Kiwina pauses to listen every so often as he's dealing with the children (perception = 19). Until it gets close to two hours after the explorinng group leaves, though, he does not suggest seeing if they are in trouble.
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the cave Friday December 1st, 2017 12:09:29 AM Sable, Falco, Rolth, and Elyas all lose their footing on the slick rocks and slide into the deeper water. the current begins to pull them further into the flood waters. (Need Swim checks, and remember any penaties for heavy armor.)
Tsak continues watching at the mouth of the cave. the one thing he notices is the storm is not moving... it is situated over the island. It continues its onslaught, but the storm itself isn't moving. the clouds arent moving.
Gothruk continues to watch the taurs struggle to walk in the storm with morbid fascination.
Finnian doesn't recall the oldest tree or treant. He tries to also recall places of power but is blanked.
Kiwina periodically listens for the others, but betweem the storm and rain, most sound is drowned out outside the general area.
The group that is near the flooding waters are dealing with deeper waters and a current, while the others keep watch or relax.

Rolth tries to swim across the current to reach a point of safety or at least a good handhold. (Swim = 9). If he can grab a wall or something similar, he will do so. Eventually, he'll want to tie off a rope to help keep us safe as we work our way back up the tunnel.
(OOC, can you describe our situation with a little bit more detail? Are there dry areas along the side of the tunnel? How deep is the water? Any useful places to hold on or tie off ropes? Thanks!)

Task nods to Gothruk and follows his advice about keeping a low profile when watching near the cave front. He will still periodically check the fire and the rest of the cave. Noticing that the storm isn't relenting he talks to Finnigan and Gothruk (after his rest) to get their views on food, water and contacting the rest of the petals.

Many of the Petals slip and fall into the aggressive water pulling them toward the entrances further toward the cave entrances. Above your head you realize that the rain is beginning to slow till eventually it stops. The circulating cloud stops and Perception vs DC 10 [b] notice that the creatures caught in the storm begin to fall from the sky.[/spoiler] A floodslain minotaur falls from the sky and strikes the edge of the opening and spins. He hits the stone floor and lays awkward, unmoving. The water begins at a brisk ankle-deep height but the level drops. The water begins to drain leaving the stone floor less wet and flooded. No less slippery. The cave system outside of the immediate room is still flooded. Large rocks are available to grab as the water recedes. Villagers step into the room as the rain stops and offer help to the Petals.
Outside of the cave entrance the wind slows and the floodslain begin to wander more easily. They seem oblivious to any population within the caves. The rain eventually stops but the sky is still dark. Other villagers begin to gather wood and objects they find nearby. They stack the objects at the entrance hoping to create an obstacle for any curious floodslain. “Jan, a large male clan Kotori chief, insists the Petals rest while the larger members of the Kotori stand guard. “You have done so much for us. Let us help you. From the looks outside we all will need some rest. A big fight is coming.”

Rolth will examine the carvings in the cave, to see if they have any clues to help explain our current situation. (Perception = 12). He'll also ask Finnian and the local elders if they have any insight into the meaning of the carvings. He will then take a chance to rest, keeping his weapon at hand.

The night is uneventful as the guards successfully avoided making any noise to attract the floodslain. The carvings within the cave are cryptic and it’s really difficult to make anything out of them. Kiwina is uninterested in any big fight with the floodslain. He asks about any skills with traps and the possibility of setting up some. After some rest everyone is together. Outside, the sun has come up revealing the devastation of the storm. Everything is destroyed or gone altogether. Perception vs. 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {The Wanderer's Roost and Chessford Field (home of the taurnament) are completely destroyed. } Perception vs DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {Alex Marblehorn and the remaining Marblehorns fight floodslain near the beach. The ships, completely destroyed lay on the beach and float in pieces near the shore. They seem to be searching and fighting. } To the right, outside of the destruction are other taurnament groups fighting the floodslain along with huge treants tossing the undead creatures back into the water. There are few items available that could make good traps. Large and medium boulders, ropes and levers.

"My friends traps are a great idea but there is a battle going on down on the beach, I think at least some of us should go help the. There are even treeants and who knows what side they are on."

Perception 11 for spoilers
Elyas sits inside the cave mouth and watches the moving groups of floodslain.
What do you suppose they are looking for? he mumbles, not really expecting an answer.
He tries to obverse the creatures to learn more about them. Do they seem to be intelligent, or maybe controlled by someone ( sense motive 21, natural 20!)
Is there any indication of a spell that created or is controlling them? (knowledge arcana 13)
Finnian spends the morning preparing spells and looking out at the destruction that the storm has wrought. "The Treants, their on our side. They are fighting for the Wold and we should too.," He says hefting his bow and taking aim.

Not sure what the Marblehorns are searching for, Sable thinks it is a good idea to get closer to get a better look (Perception 21). He will advance with other party members towards the beach, with weapon drawn.
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC15 (T13/F12) 19/19 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Status: None d20+6=14 ; Tuesday December 5th, 2017 7:36:33 PM
Task, agreeing that the Petals need to enter the fray, will advance with his falchion drawn toward the nearest floodslain. He will ensure to work together and try not to get into a 1 vs 1 situation with these undead nightmares.
Gothruk (BatMark subbing for Logan) d20+6=26 ; Tuesday December 5th, 2017 10:02:33 PM
Gothruk is also fed up with hanging about the cave waiting for something to happen, and join Tsak and the others in advancing in careful formation. His guisarme is ready for action, and he will take an opportunity attack if any floodslain get within his extensive reach. (Perception = 26 to notice threats approaching)
(OOC, we actually have several folks with reach weapons out and ready, so please take that into account if things get close.)
Kiwina (BatMark subbing for Steve) d20+8=12 ; Tuesday December 5th, 2017 10:06:53 PM
After pointing out the trap-building potential of the local materials to the villagers, Kiwina will accept Finnian's offer of healing before joining the Petals advancing to the fray. Still smarting from the last beating he took, he will employ his longspear, and try to keep the floodslain at reach. (Perception =12)
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn -the cave Tuesday December 5th, 2017 11:24:45 PM Rolth rallys the troops as he looks out onto the beach. He sees the living people on the beach searching around.
Falco adds that traps would be a good idea, but they might not have time at the moment and are more needed to fight.
Elyas does see intelligence in their movements and decision making, but the also look like they are free willed. He doesn't see any evidence of a spell.
Finnian prepared his spells, and then decides where he is most needed. He sees plenty of wounded people on the beach, and plenty of dead walking too.. it would take too long to count.
Sable wants to figure out what they are searching for, but from here he cannot tell. He ventures out onto the beach and the destruction and despair is more evident. The beach is covered with bloated dead, and torn apart corpses. And some rise as soon as they come to a stop from the tide rolling in.
Tsak agrees that they are needed and draws his weapon as he heads out.
Kiwina and [/b]Gothruk also follow out into the fray. Again, the destruction is more evident as the beach is littered with corpses... hundreds. Everyone snaps back to attention as a huge treant swats a group of dead and sends them flying into the sand. Some get back up, some don't.
A group of the undead break off and move towards the party. About 10 in total, but still far enough away to not be able to attack or be attacked.... but they are come to the party.

(Perception = 16) Oh crud! thinks Tsak. 4 of these things was dangerous, 10 is too many for us to take on! How can we whittle down the numbers? (Perception to come up with an instant plan to save the world from the wet, smelly, undead monster things - or maybe just notice something useful)

Rolth surveys the terrain looking for any advantage. (Perception = 20)
Are there any natural chokepoints, high ground, or nearby allies that we can use to our advantage? If not, we should pull back to inside the cave entrance, where they would encounter traps, then be funneled in small numbers into our ranks of reach weapons, so we would get far more attacks than they would, including attacks of opportunity.
Are any of the floodslain spread out that we could pick off, or in a tight group?
How fast do they move? Could we use speed to attack one or a few in isolation?

{Know Arcana: 12} normal undead? zombies?
"Well it looks like they are coming this way."
Falco moves forward if the others do but stays near the back, crossbow in hand.

Finnian starts firing arrows at the beasts when they get within 500 feet but pauses when they are 100 feet away. His first shot falls very short. [attack=1] He looks around hopin that no one saw. "Bow strings wet," he says to anyone how may have caught his catastrophic miss.
[ooc, how far is the group coming at us?How fast are the moving?]

Gothruk will stab any bodies nearby incase they try to get up later, he'll also look around the group making sure we arn't getting attacked from any other direction. I agree moving back to the cave would be the best bet, we could try and whittle down their numbers by keeping ahead of them and attacking with reach weapons but that seems dangerous (and I don't think it could work mechanically) Rolls failed to properly reset, just ignore them.

Kiwina studies how fast the floodslain move, and whether they are grouped together or spread far apart. If there are some that away from others, it may be possible to engage them with several attackers. (perception = 20).

Co- Dm Matt and Shawn - The Fight on the Beach d20=5 ; d20=2 ; d20=10 ; d20=19 ; d20=11 ; d20=12 ; d20=2 ; Wednesday December 6th, 2017 9:58:19 PM Tsak searches for anything helpful to cut down the hungry floodslain mob heading toward them. He notices an outcropping of rocks that could separate the group, if you could figure out how to do that. Another taurnament group, a ragtag group of humans and taurs is fighting off four thin floodslain near the far side of the rock. Rolth surveys the surroundings along with the others. He suggests falling back into the cave. There are ledges outside the entrance of the cave but would need a Climb check. The floodslain are slow moving creatures. Gothruk agrees that moving back may be a good idea. He also suggests they use reach weapons Falco wonders about the creatures and finds they are undead. He moves with the others. Kiwina finds they are group together but very easily distracted as a pair head toward a taurnament group near them. (OOC: Did you get any rest the other night? I little rest goes a long way) Finnian starts firing arrows when the creatures get within 500 feet and pauses at 100 feet. His first shot misses.
---- In front of you is the expanse of the beach, 1000 foot length, with taurnament fighters and treants fighting every 100 foot. You are fighting within the center of a 100 foot wide section. The ten floodslain are 300 foot in front and below you. A pile of rocks jut from your right side and a 15 foot cliff on your left. The ten floodslain are trotting forward at a 30-40 foot trot, depending on what kind of creature they are and if they are.. “Oh a ball..” distracted. Two are currently heading right. A really good Perception vs. DC 12 will win you, Highlight to display spoiler: { You notice that the groups seem to be separated in five with several weaker taurs and a single stronger one. The separation is barely noticeable.}
