Scene 5 - The Return of the Sarr!


Time for a Change--DM Post 
Wednesday May 30th, 2018 10:25:21 PM


Each Petal realizes that they are not actually free falling, but rather, their descent is steady and easy, slowed by some unseen force. The Petals land easily on their feet where they find themselves standing on the wide open plain very much like the Sargrass they visited, tall grass and all. To the west they can see a huge range of crystal mountains.

They also are not alone. They can count eight other small groups of people standing in these plains. Each party stands equally spaced so as to form a huge circle. The group opposite of the Petals appears to be about three quarters of a mile away . The group to either side is about a quarter mile away.

Sable and Kiwina Highlight to display spoiler: { You see that the group to your left is about the same number as you and mostly medium sized humanoids. To your right the group is similarly numbered but you count two of what appear to be minotaurs. Other groups are too distant to make out any details.}

There is writhing bloodweed all about, but it retracts back to a single point forming a huge - and still growing - mound of blood tinted grass at the center of the circle about two thousand feet away from the Petals. The grass gathers, growing into a brobdingnagian creature formed of red vines and grass and humanoid in shape . The vegetation that composes the creature is an endless mess of writhing red tendrils and undulating blades. This behemoth stands nearly four hundred feet tall and spans one hundred fifty feet wide at its shoulders..

The creature roars!

In a loud voice it screams, “MY HOME! MY HOME! MY CHILDREN!”
Each Petal hears this scream in his native tongue.

Sense Motive DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: {It too is confused and hurt.}
Sense Motive DC30: Highlight to display spoiler: {It is actually also insane.}
Know Religion DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: {It is an immortal power! }



An army of hundreds of various bloodweed creatures and other monsters erupts from the Power’s body, going in all directions. The creatures run toward the various groups, ignoring the hindering effect of the thick grass. The oncoming monsters have 2,000 feet to cross before reaching the Petals.
Perception DC15: Highlight to display spoiler: {The Power itself shrinks slightly as monsters wriggle out of it.}


The group rushing toward the Petals is speeding through the grass. A small group moves faster than the rest of the monster, breaking ahead and closing the distance to the petals.




Once more, the clear voice of Mahyawu sounds in your heads.
“You MUST HOLD the Circle! Should it be broken, all will perish!”

(SenseMotive=19 Fail, Perception vs spoiler=24 Pass, Attack=11, Damage=3)

It's like the orb we fought on the ship, it's getting smaller as it births the creatures! Tsak yells.
He then sights the group rushing toward the petals and fires at the first one which comes within range of his crossbow.

(Rolls: sense motive = 5, perception = 25)

"That was unpleasant, but this looks worse. I suppose we should form a line and hold it. What do you think of skirmishers up front and archers behind?"

"If we could control the direction of the burn, I'd suggest setting a fire before they get here."

Unless someone makes another suggestion, Kiwina prepares to set his longspear when the monsters get close enough to the group.

At 2000' away, how many rounds does the group have to prepare for the onslaught? How tall is the grass here, if the Petals are able to see other groups and oncoming monsters?

Gothruk takes a couple steps back letting the others like Rolth, Sable and Kiwina hold the front line, however with his massive reach he shall protect the party attacking anything that comes within range. His Guisarme slashig out quickly before being pulled back. He has readied an action to attack and he has 3 AOO due to combat reflexes.
1st Attack: 24 to-hit. 13 Damage
2nd Attack: 15 to-hit. 12 Damage
3rd Attack: 9 to-hit. 10 Damage
4th Attack: 21 to-hit. 15 Damage

This will be a story we can tell to people about for the rest of our lives. Lets make it a good one!

If there is sufficient time, Sable will pull out the Green Book and consult it - looking to see if there is any information there as he failed all other knowledge checks. (Nature 19 with out any bonus provided by book).

Then he will pull out his bow and fire, once the creatures are within range. Two shots = 4 and 5 (darn).

If there is time to fire again before they get close, he will keep rapid shot firing - 9 and 19; second arrow striking for 19.

And if there is a third round, 20 and 11, 1st arrow for 11 and 2nd for 13.

He will QuickDraw his greatsword and ready an attack on the first creature to approach (power attack) - reaction - AC 15; 23 Damage.

Rolth looks at the writhing mass in awe. What is it prattling on about? Rolth is not sure, so he simply resolves to the hold the line. Taking a closer looks, he sees what Tsak was talking about, with the creature shedding its mass to create endless minions. (Sense Motive = 17, fail;, Perception = 18, success)

Rolth agrees with Kiwina's tactical formation and moves to his place in line. He suggests to Gothruk that he use any opportunities he gets to focus on leakers trying to flank around our line to get at the squishies. Rolth himself will take an attack of opportunity with his glaive as the foes close, and have a readied attack for when the first comes into reach.

Readied attack = 7
AoO = 14, damage = 13

(OOC: I've set us up on the map in case that is helpful. Take a look and make sure you are positioned well. I've tried to account for various reaches and preferred combat styles.)

{Sense Motive: 9}
{Perception: 5}

Falco is a little dazed by this entire experience he takes a moment to clear his head before dropping to one knee. Reaching down he runs his hand across the sargrass and smiles.

"I will do what I can to protect you and spread the news of your return."

He stands and looks at the other groups before setting his gaze on the approaching monsters. This is right... we are in the right place and time.

{ooc: Would we have any idea who the other groups we can see are?}

(OOC: how many rounds do we have until they get to us? at 2000 feet, I'm guessing at least a few rounds until the fastest ones get to us)
Perception 24
Sense motive 9

Elyas sees the creatures coming and notices the large monster shrinking slightly. I agree Tsak! But it looks like there will be a whole lot more critters to fight this time around!

Elyas stands behind the bigger fighters of the group and closes his eyes, trying to block out the panic he feels inside. He calms himself and goes through the practiced motions of his spells in preparation of the fight ahead.

(OOC: I am going to go ahead and use 3 rounds of actions, if that's not correct I'll redo the later rounds as things move forward)
First round: Elyas casts shield on himself, and a glowing disk appears in front of him
Second round: Elyas draws his crossbow and casts Magic Weapon on it
Third round: if nothing has quite arrived yet, Elyas will use Protective Ward to give all allies within 10' a +1 deflection bonus to AC for 3 rounds.

Sense motive=8 fail, Perception=17 pass [ooc So technically Finnian can start shooting at 1100 feet at a - 20 I think, but he's going to wait until the are withing 450 feet then cast magic fang on someone who uses natural attacks to give them a +1 magical attack for a minute, then start firing. The furthest he will shoot is at 330 feet which is at his 3rd range increment, so a - 6 I'll roll that 1st shot. [attack=9 that's a hard miss]

I forgot, is there a knowledge check for these guys? I rolled a nature and an arcana. 27 and 15 respectively. One thing he really wants to know is if he things entangle will effect them?

Charge of the Dark Brigade--DM Post

A mass of monsters head in all directions. As they approach the boundary of the circle, the creatures appear to converge on the various groups defending the perimeter, including the Petals. Of those heading their way one groups breaks ahead as it is moving faster than the others.

The group speeding ahead appears to be a small cavalry unit about twelve strong. Two rounds elapse before they come into range, then two more before they can close. They are coming at breakneck speed and, although it would be difficult for any of the Petals, the grass impedes their approach not at all.

As they near, you realize that the mounts are bloodsoaked wolves, while the riders are little men, vicious in appearance, with flapping black cloaks of utter darkness snapping in the wind of their charge. You see in them as well as their mounts, the taint of the bloodgrass mutation. Riders and wolves howl in harmony as they bear down on the waiting Petals.


Tsak’s bolt shoots wide.

Kiwina has his longspear set for a charge. Roll for attack, calling rider or wolf. Roll damage in case it hits their AC, recalling that a longspear set against a charge does double damage.

Gothruk stands ready. Next post your attacks will apply. Call rider or mount for each. The riders are armored, bear a shield, and wield small lances, while the wolves have tough skin, sharp teeth dripping in blood, but no armor.


Sable fires his bow before switching to his greatsword. First and second round apply as that is all the time they are in range before being engaged. Call rider or mount. The 19 hits either. (It appears damage is 12?). The greatsword will apply next round.

Rolth’s attack will apply next post. Only if you have reach, call rider or mount for the AoO.

Falco has three rounds of actions before the riders engage should he so desire.

Elyas Casts shield on himself and magic weapon on his crossbow. Just as the riders arrive, he uses Protective Ward on his allies.

Finnian casts magic fang on [Who?] His second shot hits [call rider or mount and roll damage]. Finnian Highlight to display spoiler: { both the riders and the wolves appear to have the bloodgrass mutation. Additionally, the wolves appear to be wolves and the riders some goblinoid race.}


Kiwina (Steve M) (40/40 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:17) | HeP: 2 | Status: None  d20+4=11 ; 2d8+6=12 ;
Thursday May 31st, 2018 9:47:17 PM

"Hana lepo!" Kiwina shouts, suddenly realizing something. "We may have to burn the area anyway. How else will we be sure that we've gotten even small creatures in this grass? Be thinking about ways to communicate with the other groups in case we need to."

But first there's a battle. Kiwina aims for the wolf, not the rider. (to hit = 11, 12 damage if it hits (maybe. . . if the creature takes a penalty for charging))

Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (28/28 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; CMD: 19) | Glaive +5 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +3 1d4+1 x2| Status: None  
Thursday May 31st, 2018 9:54:00 PM

A round before the riders reach the Petals, Rolth will pull out his magic gingerbread man, and consume it to gain Protection from Chaos. (OOC: I have not calculated it into his AC, being unsure whether these crittters count as Chaotic. It lasts 10 rounds)

With a roar to outmatch the howls, Rolth swings his glaive with reach at the wolf mount when the opportunity presents itself. (To recap, he hit AC 14 (not including the AC penalty for charging) for 13 hp of damage.) He will gladly accept the magic fang from Finnian if Finnian so chooses. (Finnian has seen Rolth take up to 5 natural attacks in one round under certain circumstances. Defer to others if they have a better option.)

Sable shoots the mount for 12 points and prepares the swing on same (if it survives) or nearest mount that charges him, with rider last.

"Looks like our metal will be tested today petals. We protect the sargrass and it will protect us later.. I can just know it."

Falco takes a shifting step back and readies his crossbow to fire at the eastern most rider when it gets within 80ft. {hit: 6 - Dam: 1 - dang it all}



Elyas (Ben A.) (29/29 HP | AC: 17; Touch:13; Flat: 14; CMD:15) | Light Crossbow +4( 1D8, 19-20) | Status:Shield  d20+5=7 ;

hold steady, here they come!

Elyas fires his crossbow at the closest enemy as soon as it is within 30 ft, but fires wide trying to aim through the grasses

Friday June 1st, 2018 1:49:46 PM

Gothruk's first attack will be against a rider, the rest towards the mounts, limiting their mobility and letting the riders fall off at high-speed. If riders who's mounts have been killed come within range he'll attack them too, or if they try to get up from prone.
I agree that Rolth should have the magic fang, he goes crazy with his claws and bite.

(His attacks:
1st Attack: 24 to-hit. 13 Damage
2nd Attack: 15 to-hit. 12 Damage
3rd Attack: 9 to-hit. 10 Damage

[2 damage to the same mount that Sable shot at]
[Rolth can take the magic fang, +1 to attacks a damage rolls for 1 minute]

Finnian then aims at the mount he had previously shot and fires two quick shots at it.
Attack = 17 - Damage = 8 (+1 if within 30 feet to attack and damage)
Attack=9 - Damage = 4 (+1 if within 30 feet to attack and damage)

Kiwina strikes at a wolf, but though his attack connects, it does not pierce the creature’s thick hide.

Rolth connects a solid hit against a charging wolf as it closes. The glaive cuts deep, but the wolf continues to fight.
[the gingerbread’s protection does not seem to benefit against these creatures. But wait; there’s more…Continue to denote it]

Sable hits another wolf, but his attack is not fatal either.

Falco steps back and takes a shot at a rider. His bolt grazes its cheek, draining a line of blood and a blood curdling snarl.

Elya’s shot goes wide.

Tsak fires at the nearest mount scoring a hit.

Finnian concentrates his fire on the same mount Sable is attacking. Between their two attacks the wolf drops from its wounds. Its rider tumbles headlong on to the ground as it falls. [Rider takes 6 points of damage and is prone.]

Those who close with or near Gothruk pay dearly for their advance.
He kills a rider and severely wounds one wolf and finishes off the one Tsak hit. When the rider of the felled wolf tries to rise, Gothruk takes the opportunity and takes the rider out of the fight.




Not deterred by the arrows and polearms of the Petals, the riders drive their mounts on. Kiwina, Tsak, and Rolth receive most of the charge, but the numbers hitting Tsak have been depleted.

Two wolves successfully bite Kiwina. The sargrass sickness you have encountered before is clearly dripping from their fangs. Make Fortitude save DC 16 or be sickened.
Total damage is 11 hit points. Each wolf tries to wrestle the centaur off his feet, but Kiwina is able to withstand the smaller creature's attempts.


One rider attacking Tsak manages to break through his guard with his spear. (Take 5 points damage.)


Rolf takes a beating from the charge, one rider and three wolves strike home. Try as the might, the wolves cannot get the stalwart liontaur off of his feet. Total damage 16 hitpoints. Make fortitude save DC 16 or be sickened.

Kiwina drops his longspear (free action) and draws his shortspear (move action) while lashing out with his hooves (standard action), attempting to hit rider 1. (rolls 16 & 9, neither hits, )

The previous attacks have left him staggering and shaky -- he just didn't notice it at first. (fortitude = 15, he is sickened)

After being bitten, Rolth has an immediate relapse of the blood fever. His head droops. (Fort save = 10)
But with a roar, he raises his head and his eyes have a mad red gleam. (Free action to enter rage) "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

Even in his sickened state, he whirls into action, striking first--but fruitlessly--with his magic fangs at Wolf 10, then following up with a weak claw swipe that barely connects. (Bite to hit = 8, miss; Paw 1 to hit = 7, miss; Paw 2 to hit = 18, 1hp damage) Shaking his head to clear the haze, he backs up five feet (5 foot step) and (Glaive to hit = 9) He looks up beseechingly to the sky and cries, "Domi, do not forsake me now!"

Elyas summons a spell as the riders approach, aiming at a group of them.

Flames leap from his hands in a fan, scorching the grassy abominations
(6 fire damage, reflex save of 14 for half. Targeting the two closest wolf/rider combos fighting Kiwina. I'm bad with cones, I may be able to clip the one fighting Tsak as well, but I am not sure. )

Finnian fires a couple of shots at the wolf harassing Kiwina trying to drop it and hoping the rider will be hindered if it falls. The first arrow flies into the dirt and the second seems like it will too, but somehow it hits a stone and bounces up to bury itself in the wolfs neck.

Seeing Rolth struck several times Falco's eyes go wide and he whispers before casting a spell.

"Sargrass, do not worry this will come off of you quickly."

He concentrates and summons forth pool of grease under three of the attackers. {ooc: light blue square on map, under 9, 10 & 12}

Tsak faced with opponents at melee range attacks with his sword, skidding harmlessly off the rider’s armor. [Note that the prone mountless rider was killed by Gothruk’s AoO, so your attack was applied to Rider 6 which missed. Either way the prone rider was killed.]

Sable attacks at Wolf 8 on Rolth, missing. [Sable has 10’ reach by nature of his size, so could attack rider/mount 4, 6, or 8. It is Sable’s choice as to which weapon he prefers. Note that either way Sable could still gore. ]

Kiwina switches weapons and attacks Rider 1. [Note that the rider charged last turn so its AC is -2, but this is cancelled out by the sickened condition.

Rolth is a blur of violent action, but not much on effect, scoring only a scratch, albeit a deep one, on wolf 10.

Flames leap from Elyas’ hands, scorching the two wolves and their riders on Kiwina’s right flank. The one wolf, already wounded, collapses from the fiery attack. It’s rider, though badly burned himself, nimbly lands on his feet.

Gothruk strikes wolf 8, sorely, but not fatally, wounding it.
Ready to strike an opening, none of the savvy opponents give him one.

Finnian fires a couple of shots at a wolf (#3) harassing Kiwina, his first shot misses, but his second one heroically buries itself into the lupine’s neck. The beast howls in pain and snarls in bloodlust anger.


Falco casts grease under three of the attackers on Rolth.

The wolves and their riders close on Kiwina. The wolves are unable to connect, but two riders manage to score with their spears. The riders lash out with their blood stained mouths to bite at the centaur but are unable to connect. (Kiwina takes 11 points damage total.

The rider on Tsak manages to hit (Tsak take 1 point damage).

Mayhem breaks out around Rolth. Two of the wolves on him fall in Falco’s grease. When they try to stand, Gothruk’s glaive connects on each, killing the one that was previously wounded. Its rider falls off and slips in the slickened grass and is slain by the taurine monk when he tries to stand. The rider on the other fallen wolf is unable to stay on and also slips in the grass.

[Rolth. Please take an AoO either on Rider 10 or Wolf 11]
Rolth is hit by Rider 9 (2 points of damage) Rider 10 (5 points of damage) and Wolf 11 (2 points of damage; trip attempt fails) [Note that a successful AoO against a prone Rider 10 or Wolf 11 prevents that damage]



Above the red grass plant colossus thing, giant letters appear in the sky:
SIGNAL IF YOU NEED HELP. GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE. SINCERELY, THE IRON DRAGONS.

You can see that the group on your left is beset by fleet cheetahs and flying eagles. To your right, the group holding the circle is being attacked by a dragon!

"Hey Falco, that was slick! And Kill, Gothruk, Kill! Rolth roars in satisfaction. His previous wolf target slain by Gothruk's whirlwind of death, Rolth switches to its rider (#10) when the opportunity presents itself. (AoO = 19, hit for 15 hp to kill rider #10) He laughs off the puny strikes from the other rider and wolf. He smells weakness in Wolf 11 and takes a bite and few swipes. (Bite To Hit = 13, miss; Paw 1 to hit = 6, miss; Paw 2 to hit = 22, hit for 2hp -- enough to drop Wolf 11 too). Not satisfied with this degree of mayhem, he steps left to make some room for a big swing at Rider 12 with his glaive but is distracted by the gorge rising in his throat from the blood sickness.

Seeing the mayhem his last spell caused Falco smiles.

"Going to reserve my spells but I have something read for the next things that get close. I can try and blind them."

Falco, truth be told, is thrilled to be fighting in the sargrass plains for some reason he is feeling a connection to the grass. Pointing he launches a small acid arrow at the closest remaining rider.

Finnian misses with one arrow, but the other finds its mark. Rider 3, the arrow penetrating through his back, falls dead off of his wolf.



Riders 1 and 2 slash Kiwina with their spears while the riderless wolf scores a bite. The wolf is unable to trip the sure-footed centaur Kiwina takes total of 7 points damage.

Wolf 6 is thrown off balance by the death of its rider and bites at nothing rather than Tsak.

Wolf 8 and Rider 9 miss Rolth, but Rider 9 and Wolf 9 score hits. Rolth takes 7 points of damage.

Wolf 12 manages to step out of the grease without falling to attack Gothruk. Gothruk takes 5 points of damage and Fort Save DC 15 or become sickened.



The battle rages on all sides. To your left the battle with wildlife continues. From your right a harsh sound resonates as the dragon attacks your neighbors with a sonic breath weapon.

He hits the wolf, but its thick hide protects it from much of the damage.
On hearing Kiwina's comment he looks up, and notices movement in the grass beyond the party.

Second attack To-Hit=16 hits wolf 9, Damage=8 also must also make an 11 fortitude save or is stunned.

Gothruk also takes a 5ft step to the left to be closer to the rest of the fight.

Can Gothruk tell the spiders speed? How long will it take to close the gap? (Perception=12 if necessary)

"What! What's coming? Who's coming?", Finnigan yells as he pulls and fires more arrows from his quiver. The battle is all he can think about and is too focused on picking out targets to look for anything else. [perception=11]

Two more arrows fly from his bow hitting the closest wolf that is fighting Kiwi a, but not doing enough damage to drop it (at least on his own) [hit=17,damage=5]

Kiwina blasts the wolves and riders on him with an anything potion color spray.
Wolf 1 and both riders are knocked unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 6 rounds.

Tsak hits the wolf on him again.

Sable kills the wolf on him and flanks with Gothruk.

Rolth heals with his potion.

Falco kills the already wounded wolf 8.

Gothruk strikes both wolf and rider, severely injuring both and stunning the wolf.



Finnian lands an arrow in wolf 2. The wolf rears and howls in anger, dumping its unconscious rider on the ground beside it.

Elyas kills the unconscious rider 2 before it hits the ground.






Wolf 2 attacks Kiwina and misses.
Wolf 6 attacks Tsak; hits AC 19 for 2 points of damage.
The rider and wolf on Gothruk both miss, but the lone wolf hits AC 21 for 4 points of damage.




Those who noticed the woman/spider creature slow down before now realize what caused its earlier hesitation. Originating from a position about one hundred feet away from it, a lightning bolt blasts out, burning an afterimage of its blaze into all looking in that direction, as it strikes the spider creature. Even from this distance, the Petals can smell the ozone of the charged air. The monstrosity screeches in pain.

About forty feet above the ground, racing toward the creature, is what appears to be a whirlwind about six feet tall and the obvious source of the bolt. After firing the bolt, the whirlwind continues to approach, getting to about twenty feet of the spider thing.

About one hundred feet away from the Petals, the spider thing halts its advance to turn and face the new threat. With a gestures of its human-like hand it fires a lightning bolt of its on. This too blazes its imprint on the retinas of all onlookers. When the flash fades, it appears the whirlwind is unharmed.

Sable swings on Wolf 6 (18), hitting for 21 points of damage - but is still focused on the fight at hand (Perception 12) but now clearly sees the spider/lady and identifies the threat.

Tsak, satisfied now that the party is aware of the danger of spider lady, focuses on the wolf attacking him and lets fly with another bolt. His aim is true, the creature dies mid-snarl with a bolt thru its heart.

Falco gives a little cheer when he lands a rare killing blow. If anyone was watching they would notice he even did a little self high five but I am sure no one was watching. The flash of ligntning catches his eye as he see the spider lady batteling a.... cyclone?

"Those things seem to be fighting each other lucky for us. I don't think the spider can hurt the cyclone, it just laughed."

Getting his head back in the fight he again fires his crossbow at number sex.

Kiwina unsuccessfully attacks wolf 2 with his spear and hooves.

Tsak severely wounds wolf 2, aiding his friend. [changed targets since Saved kill Tsak’s stated target]

[b]Rolth moves in to assist Kiwina, but is unable to land a hit on Wolf 2.

[b]Falco
sees the Sable slay the wolf on Tsak (wolf 6) and changes his target the one on Gothruk. Even with cover, he scores a damaging hit.

Gothruk finishes off wolf 9 and moves back a bit.

Elyas misses with his crossbow and shouts encouragement to the other Petals.



The Petals are finishing off the dark brigade. Despite heavy losses, the madly continue to fight on. Well, the two conscious ones do. The rider, despite being nearly dead from its wounds, nimbly dismounts its slain wolf and advances on Gothruk, missing horribly.

The seriously wounded, but still fighting wolf (the conscious one) attacks Kiwina and misses as well.

Beyond that melee, the drider has apparently decided to disregard the cyclone for now and advances toward the Petals. She ends the round about forty feet away from the closest ones.

The cyclone keeps pace with the drider, continuing to hover about twenty feet above the ground. It releases a scouring blast of wind that lashes in a straight line toward the evil creature. It nimbly dodges to one side, avoiding some but not all of the damaging blast.

A voice issues from the cyclone, resonant and surprisingly melodic considering it is coming from a whirling maelstrom, ”Madame Hushfoot, sends her compliments. I hope you do not mind me softening up the drider a bit. How else may I aid thee?”

Alas, we have no priest to make us speedily whole. If there us aught that you can do about these things, it would aid our cause greatly."

With that said, Rolth turns back to the business at hand. He swings his glaive at wolf 2, nearly severing its head with a killing blow. (To hit = 24, damage = 13) He turns his attention to the unconscious rider 1 and wolf 1 at his feet, attacking them in succession. He claws the rider's throat out, and even manages to scratch the wolf. Most satisfying! (Bite vs rider 1= 30, 4hp damage, Paw 1 vs rider 1 = CRIT, 4hp damage, Paw 2 vs wolf 1 = 27, 2 hp damage.)

Kiwina kills the remaining conscious wolf.

Sable fires at the drider. Neither shot is able to penetrate its thick skin.

Gothruk attacks the wolf and rider on him. One hit scores on the wolf.
The 17 will hit the wolf, AC 16. Please roll damage. Note that 12 points will kill it.

Seeing no active foes nearby, Rolth tears into the enchanted ones at his feet, killing the rider and sorely wounding the wolf. I applied the damage from wolf 2, slain by Kiwina, to the unconscious wolf 1.

Elya sends a blaze of fire to the drider. Despite the drider’s innate resistance to magic, the clever wizard is able to make his spell count.

Finnian fires twice without scoring a hit.

Tsak fires at the unconscious wolf, but his arrow glances off its tough hide.
The AC of the unconscious wolf is 15 vs. ranged attacks; 7 vs. melee.

Falco attempts to blind the drider with glitterdust but the spider thing manages to avert her eyes successfully.


The remaining active wolf and rider are unable to land an attack on Gothruk.




The cyclone responds, ”My name is Adrastos,” with this the cyclone dips as if bowing. ”I see no other creatures, but if I should, I will certainly inform thee.” He then lashes the drider with another blast of air.
This time she does not avoid it. The drider takes 10 more points of damage.


The cyclone then moves closer. ”Alas, I have no remedy for thy illness, but I can assist with some healing, albeit limited.” It then moves close to Rolth.

The drider charges Sable and strikes him soundly with its heavy mace. He can see its fanged mouth dripping poisonous blood and can smell its sickly sweet breath as it closes with him.
Sable can make an AoO against AC 18
Sable takes 5 points of damage.

Rolth, realizing that his magical boons and protections are fading fast, hopes that Adrastos can heal him quickly or catch up and heal him after his "CHARGE!" He drops his glaive and draws his morning star as he charges up to the drider.

(Morning star to hit = 19; potential damage = 8)
(Paw 1 to hit = 24, damage = 1)
(Paw 2 to hit = 18, potential damage = 1)
(Rake 1 to hit = 9, miss)
(Rake 2 to hit = 8, miss)
(Bite to hit = 21, damage = 5)

Summary: Drider’s effective AC could be reduced 18 or less for Rolth by either a flanking buddy moving up or a charging AC penalty from the drider’s last action. So:

If AC 20, then damage = 6
If AC 18 or less, then damage = 15

Seeing Gothruk and Falco taking care of the last of the wolves Finnian turns his attention to the drider. What a foul creature he thinks to himself before moving out of Rolths way and firing at it. One arrow flies wide, but the other finds it's mark [hit = 21, damage = 7]

Even though his spell worked to scorch the drider a little bit, Elyas can tell that it came incredibly close to failing. As his allies pile around the creature, he decides to stick with his enchanted crossbow to have a better chance of landing a hit.

He comes close, but is not quite able to find the mark.

Rolth charges the drider and tears into it star, tooth, and claw for 15 points total damage.

Kiwina delivers a coup de grace on the unconscious wolf. The body flexes at the blow then relaxes as its life departs. [the -2 from sickened condition applies to total damage of the attack, so 4 hp of damage]

Tsak engages the drider, but his attack misses the mark.

Sable attacks the drider, but also is unable to score a hit.

Falco hits wolf 12 for 4 points of damage.

Gothruk kills the rider and finishes the job on killing wolf 12.

Finnian takes careful aim at the drider. His second shot sinks solidly into the junction of the humanoid and spider bodies. It spasms, a look of surprise on its face, then all eight legs collapse and its head whips forward, hitting the ground with a resounding thump.

Elyas’ shots fire wide, but the battle is already over.




All enemies have been defeated!
…..At least for now.

The cyclone moves toward Rolth. ”A brave attack! Well done worthy warriors and wizards all of you,” he exclaims. It is a bit disconcerting to hear a voice coming from a whirling windstorm with no visible face or mouth. It stops near to him and extends an appendage of whirling mist and dust toward the liontaur. A glow erupts from this extension and passes over to Rolth. It feels warm and soothing and his many wounds heal considerably. Rolth heals 22 hit points.

”I spoke too soon regarding the absence of other foes. I see motion in the grass some distance away in the direction of the Sarr. You do, however, have a little time to restore and prepare before another assault. I regret that I have limited healing power. I can heal but one more time this day. After I have done so, I will fly up to take a better look at what comes.

"I would not refuse the healing, nor do I expect would several of us." Kiwina says. "Depending on how much time we have, we can also use a wand to cure light wounds." Kiwina takes this opportunity to retrieve dropped weapons.

Depending on the time available, he would also like to better prepare for the next skirmish, to get a look at what's coming, and to inspect the grass.

Falco fails to identify the spell that was cast but has a good guess given the contextual clues. He glances down at the grass and then takes one knee running a hand over the sargrass and smiling. Wonderful. He starts paying attention again when Sable speaks.

"Oh, don't worry about me. I am ok."

Tsak gathers his gear and his thoughts. Noting the number of bumps, scrapes and bruises he grabs the heal potion out of his back pack and swallows it down... blaargh, quickly followed by some water to rinse out his mouth.

Kiwina takes the break in hostilities to recover.

Rolth thanks the whirlwind and relaxes his rage.

Sable also regroups and proposes Kiwina as the recipient of healing and proposes the use of the wand.

Gothruk seconds the need to heal Kiwina and requests healing from the wand.

Falco enjoys the momentary respite and being in the sargrass.

Tsak gathers his gear and his thoughts and uses the pause to take a healing potion. .
Yes, add the 1 to the d8 roll result for 8 points of healing.

Elyas pauses to ponder their position.

Finnian provides some much needed healing to Gothruk.


Adrastos hovers over to Kiwina and reaches out a whirling limb to heal him.
Kiwina heals 25 hitpoints.

He then speeds off in the direction of the maddened Sarr gaining elevation as he goes. After a brief pause he returns and lands among the Petals. Before their eyes his form changes. Where the whirlwind was, now stands an elf-life creature a little over six feet tall, lithe yet muscular. On his back hangs a strung bow and quiver and a scimitar rests on his waist. His hair is long and silvery white, so white that it almost sears the retina. His most distinctive features, however, are his eyes. The irises swirl with perpetually changing color, varying with no discernible pattern various shades of blue, green, brown, purple, and gold.

He bows to the group then stands straight as a soldier giving a report, ”I see approaching your position three reptiles draconic in appearance, but only six feet in length. They appear maddened by the bloodgrass corruption and intent upon attack. At the rate they are moving I suspect they will be here in about twenty seconds. He approaches Sable, then reaching out asks, Brave warrior, may I bestow upon thee some minor protection? It alters thy outline making it more difficult for foes to harm thee.

[You have a total of 6 rounds of actions: two while Adrastos acted and scouted then four more until the reptiles arrive. In the next player post describe what actions you will be taking during those rounds, if any. During that time Adrastos we be casting buff spells on six more of you (assuming you consent). In the next DM post, the creatures will come into view in the tall grass about 60 feet from the Petals.]

(OOC: Six rounds gives enough time for everyone who is wounded to get a CLW if they want it.)

"We don't know how long this will go on." Kiwina notes as he prepares for the next attack. He takes one cure from the wand, and uses another anything potion to give himself some mage armor. Like I should have done before the first attack, he thinks ruefully. Then he tries to spot the approaching lizards (perception = 9), equipped with longspear again.

Rolth moves to line up behind the remaining grease spell, which might slow the advance somewhat. He hopes others will join him. He is still fatigued unless Adrastos can lift that condition—Rolth will definitely ask for that, and is gratefully accepts any buff on offer, given his current sickened state. He will switch to his Morningstar and shield, but hold his attacks until he can make a full attack series.

Feeling zesty and full of life after quaffing the disgusting potion Tsak will happily take any buffs should they be offered. If others are better suited for what the creature has in mind, then that's ok too.

He decides to start the fight with his crossbow and looks for a suitable place where he will have a clear shot without endangering the petals that will engage in melee.

Gothruk asks for two hits of the wand (Who can actually use that btw?) then readies himself along the back line similar to before.

If any of the corpses are going to get underfoot he quickly picks them up and hefts them aside.

Gothruk will be happy to receive a buff seeing as he was hit a couple times during the last bit of fighting.

Finnian doesn't have much I. The way of buffs, if anyone else needs a wanding he can do that but other than that he is going to cast entangle where they should come out of the grass and then just preparing to unload at them when they come into view.

Kiwina takes the temporary cessation in hostilities to heal an improve his armor class. He stands ready with his longspear. For your information. A longspear has the brace ability. If you use a readied action to set a brace weapon against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging creature.

Adrastos responds to his request to end his fatigue, ”Alas, this is a power I possess not.’

Tsak accepts the aid of Adrastos and stands ready with his crossbow.

Sable heals up the Petals with the wand and stands ready with his bow.

Falco awaits the appearance of the creatures.

Gothruk clears out some of the corpses and heals a bit.

Finnian casts entangle in front of the Petals.

Elyas prepares to shoot.

Adrastos cheerfully casts blur on Rolth, Kiwina, Tsak, Sable, and Gothruk. He then looks up to check around. He stops his casting and stares intently in the direction of the party to your right. It appears that that group is being attacked by two bipedal lizards nearly forty feet tall. Not too far behind the beasts, creatures that appear to be composed of fire are closing in on those heroes as well.

Adrastos’ shoulders straighten as he raises to his full height, ”I think I am needed elsewhere. Forgive my hasty departure”, and with those words he transforms back to the whirlwind and flies toward the threatened party. ”Fare well,” he calls as he speeds away.

Soon after his departure you see the three lizards you were expecting break cover about sixty feet in front of you. You recognize them as taztylwyrms like you encountered before, but unlike the one that aided you, these are coated and dripping and blood and appear ready to charge.


Tsak, Elyas and Sable may take their shots at the tatzlywyrms when they appear as part of last round’s action. Falco may cast a spell as a readied action if he chooses. In the future, specify what spell you are readying. Finnian scores two shots on the center one.

Because of the entangle the wyrms will not be able to close next round even though all three saved.

Gothruk responds to Rolth's growl, Though I would consider it an honour to fight amongst the front lines, I cannot wear armour without restricting my movements and I leave myself open to counter attack a lot during battle. He says a little sheepishly. I am also not as durable as the rest of you forward pillars. I feel I am best in the middle where i can move to the front if necessary but also providing protection and hitting enemies hard while also not being taken down an a number of seconds.

Rolth readies a morningstar strike when a warm closes, choosing a wounded one if posssible. (To hit = 8,dam 5)

Tsak’s bolt misses the mark.

Kiwina sets for a charge.
They will charge next round, so roll to hit and damage (double damage for set spear).

Sable misses with both shots and switches to greatsword.
You will get an attack of opportunity as they close, against their charging AC (AC 13).

Falco casts [i]glitterdust
on two of the worms. One stops in confusion, obviously blinded by the light.

Gothruk uses his great reach to cover the front. The writhing grass animated by Finnian’s spell is slowing down their approach, so none of them close yet.

Finnian fails to land a shot and thanks Adrastos.

Elyas hits Wyrm 1 and give a protective ward to those near him.




The wyrms move forward, but are hindered by the entangle spell. One is blinded by the glitterdust. The one on the Petals’ left gets entangled by the vegetation and cannot move forward.

Beyond the tatzylwrms, the sky erupts. The flash of fire and lightning glares brightly followed by a resounding boom that threatens to deafen the Petals. With the sound comes a blast of wind that pushes and tears at everyone and everything in its path.

Then the colossus in the center of the circle calls out in a deep voice that is felt as much as it is heard, ”ALL OF THE SARGRASS IS AT MY COMMAND, MY CHILDREN WILL PROTECT ME! YOU CANNOT WITHSTAND ITS CONCENTRATED POWER!”

You see another eruption and more waves of creatures form in its wake, heading outward in all directions. This time it is much more obvious that the behemoth has decreased in size yet again.

When he sees the wurms begin their charge, Kiwina sets his spear for the attack (to hit = 13, misses).

Since the spear is a ranged weapon, if he is able to as the wurm approaches, Kiwina also makes an AOO with a hoof (to hit = 19, damage = 1).

Monday June 18th, 2018 9:59:27 PM



Kiwina and Rolth are ready for the tatzlywyrms, but the spells prevent any foes from closing this round.

Finnian hits the entangled wyrm 1 twice.

Elyas hits the blinded wyrm 3.

As the center wyrm charges, Gothruk connects with his readied attack, then as it moves forward he connects again, killing it as it reaches the grease area.

Falco attacks the blinded wyrm 3. Numbers did not produce. Try again against AC 11.



Tatzlwyrm 1 Escapes the entangle and moves closer to Kiwina, but is slowed by the entangle.

Tatzlwyrm 2 charges, to be hit by Gothruk’s readied action. Then as it reaches the greased area it slips, but is slain by Gothruk’s AoO before it hits the ground.

Tatzlwrym 3 spends its entire turn getting its vision back. It is no longer blinded and it manages to resist being entangled.


Beyond the wyrms you can see creatures advancing in all directions, including toward the Petals. Anything heading towards the Petals is still too far away to see.

Tsak comes to with a start. Did I fall asleep, was I dreaming? Those creatures look a lot closer than I remember.
He rouses himself, sights a wyrm and fires a bolt at it, but misses.

Last Round Attack: Hit: 9, Dam 6

Falco again fires another acid dart but has little hope that it will connect. {Hit: 7}

This is not going well for me. Somehow it all just feels off now.... am I just doing the wrong thing with my life?

Elyas takes another shot at number 3, hitting it quite solidly. He is happy to see one of the wyrms smashed to the ground by his companions!

25 to hit, only a 7 to confirm the critical. 8 damage.

(sorry, I rolled before roll20 loaded completely. the roll was for something within 30ft. i corrected the numbers in my text)

Tuesday June 19th, 2018 9:23:58 PM


Sable stands ready as wyrm 3 charges he and Rolth. Before the tatzlwyrm can close, he separates its head from its body.

Rolth remains ready to attack, but Sable makes it unnecessary.

Tsak fires but misses.


Falco fires another acid dart, but fails to land it. [i]last round missed, too. Touch AC 10 while charging.

Finnian has found the target and hits wyrm 1 twice, severely wounded it.

Elyas confirms Sables kill on wyrm 3.

Though severely wounded and hindered by the entanglement tatzlwyrm 1 charges toward Kinnian only to be laid low by the ready Gothruk.

Kiwina’s readied attack proves unnecessary.

The Petals have cleared there zone, at least for now.



The vigilant Rolth Highlight to display spoiler: {sees that something is indeed coming from the second wave of creatures created and released by the maddened Sarr. He cannot make out what it is, but it is moving along the ground rapidly. Whatever they are, there appear to be a lot of them. Rolth estimates they have about five rounds before they come into view.}

Given the short respite, you can see what is happening to either side. Judging by the flashing lightning, Adrastos seems to have joined the fray to your right. As you watch, one of the giant lizards topple, apparently slain.

On your left, those heroes continue to be fighting giants and spellcasters. From this distance, it is difficult to tell how the heroes are faring.

=============
Tatzlwyrm 1 DEAD By Finnian and Gothruk
Tatzlwrym 3 DEAD by Sable

Kiwina takes advantage of the respite to examine the grass around them, trying to assess two things. (Know nature = 17) If he used alchemist's fire on an opponent, would a splash be likely to ignite the grasses, and if the grass started burning, would it spread slowly enough to escape?

Falso takes a deep breath and drops to one knee.

My magic, it feels wrong in my brain. I am not surprised I am ineffective. The grass... what doe it want of me? Faith in it?

Falco is clearly having an existential crisis.

Finnian let's out a sigh of relief and draws a few arrows from his rapidly depleting quiver and sticks them point down into the ground next to him. He then grabs the last full quiver out of his pack and straps it to his belt. He scans the grass for the next wave. "I didn't, he says to Elyas, " but you are right. We need to stay on guard."

Hey Finnian, how long do those vines last? Do you think they'll still be there when the next critters approach?



Another lull in the action. Round 21--DM  

Wednesday June 20th, 2018 9:48:37 PM


Kiwina notes that a fire would not easily spread on the grass as it is too green.

Sable takes a look around. Sable Highlight to display spoiler: {Something is indeed coming from the second wave of creatures created and released by the maddened Sarr. He cannot make out what it is, but it is moving along the ground rapidly. Whatever they are, there appear to be a lot of them. Rolth estimates they have about four rounds before they come into view. Nothing new to the left or the right.}

Falco takes a deep breath and drops to one knee. Falco Highlight to display spoiler: {. As you touch the grass you feel a slight tingle in the tips of your fingers. Or do you? It was so faint it could have been your imagination….}

Elyas takes a moment to ready himself again, searching for the next target.

Finnian lets out a sigh of relief and prepares for the next wave. Finnian Highlight to display spoiler: { Something is indeed coming from the second wave of creatures created and released by the maddened Sarr. You cannot make out what it is, but it is moving along the ground rapidly. Whatever they are, there appear to be a lot of them.}

Tsak uses the pause to take a close look. Tsak Highlight to display spoiler: { You see that something is indeed coming from the second wave of creatures created and released by the maddened Sarr. You cannot make out what it is, but it is moving along the ground rapidly and there appears to be a lot of them. Given their rate of speed, you estimate they have about four rounds before they come into view.}

Rolth complements the Petals and informs them that more are coming.

Gothruk asks about the duration of the entangle.

The battles rages on in every direction except to the rear. Motion appears in the grass before the petals, but it is too far away for anyone to discern what may be coming. A brief break seems to be the case.

Satisfied that the grass will not burn easily, Kiwina examines the lay of the land between the party and the power in the distance. Is the party in a clearing, and does the grass continue pretty much unitformly ahead of them? (perception = 26)

”I cannot make out what these things that are swarming our way are, but they are fast and low to the ground. They should be here in about 24 seconds or so.”, says Sable.

If he does not get a clear shot and they are 1 round out, he will switch back to greatsword.

Did.... I know I felt something form the grass just then. What is it you need? I am already your defender though possibly the least among them.

"I will answer your call when this day is done. You will need people in the Wold."

He straightens up and prepares his crossbow.

Finnian searches through his pack for a potion that he is pretty sure he still has.

[I believe that I still have my anything potion, I know that I didn't use it, but I'm not sure if it was Falco or I who gave the old woman the potion. If I gave it to her then we'll say that he didn't find what he was looking for.]

I'm worried that this could be a swarm, and if it is I may be useless

Swarming creatures? I can help with that, but only slightly. I am running low on magic with this long fight, but I can use one more burst of flames I believe

Perception = 10

Another lull in the action. Round 22--DM  
Thursday June 21st, 2018 6:48:10 PM

Round 22

Kiwina takes a closer look and observes that they are in a region of shorter grass, about knee length to a human that is about two hundred feet in diameter, the Petals being in the approximate center. Beyond this the grass height approaches six to eight feet, making seeing anything approaching farther away than that difficult to see. Kiwina Highlight to display spoiler: { He sees also that a large group of creatures appear to be rapidly approaching, their passage marked by the motion of the grass as they move through it. He estimates they will hit the clearing in about three rounds.}

Sable informs the others of approaching danger and has his bow ready.
[You can take a shot when they are about 100 feet out, when they clear the taller grass. Roll a readied action and approximate target; e.g. left, middle, right. Target is AC 15.]

Rolth enjoys the temporary break.

Falco whispers something then stands with crossbow ready..

Finnian searches through his pack for a potion that he is pretty sure he still has and finds it.

Elyas worries about a swarm, but can discern nothing in the tall waving grass.



And the battle ranges all around and before them as they wait what is rapidly approaching them in the tall, tall grass.

Rats? Bats? Smaller? If they're too small our weapons won't do anything against them. If they're rat sized then we could still put a dent in with our swords and bows, though a morning star would probably do better. Get more of them at once. Questions and explains Gothruk.
A fire blast through the middle of them could work nicely. Make sure you make it count Falco!

Rounds 22

The Petals wait anxioulsy for the appearance of what is approaching through the grass.

Tsak switches to falchion

Sable readies a shot.

Elyas stands ready to cast another protective bubble.

Finnian’s senses are intensely focused. Finnian Highlight to display spoiler: { Finnian sees the ants, or course, but more terrifying, there is something very large behind them. Its massive body rises above the eight foot tall grass and it moves steadily toward your position. You can tell it is a quadruped and its head swings from side to side as it runs toward you, revealing two large tusks protruding on either side of of incredibly long, flexible nose. He estimates it will be on the Petals in about five rounds. }

The grass parts in a burst of motion. Charging toward the Petals are ants the size of a pony. Sable and Finnian drop the first one with their shots, leaving eleven more remaining. They scurry toward the party, their six legs carrying them rapidly through the grass. That is, until they hit the area of the entangle spell. Seven of them get grabbed by the animated vegetation. The remaining four continue forward, but their progress is impeded. They are now about forty feet in front of the leading Petals and should be able to close next round--provided they, too, are not entangled.

Elyas was expecting a swarm of little ants, and is a bit surprised by a smaller swarm of giant ants. these may still burn nicely but are too far away still for that.

instead, elyas fires a crossbow bolt at the closest ant (#9)

21 to hit, 7 damage! not too bad

Rolth is heartened by his stalwart colleagues and finally catches his breath after the strenuous fight against the wolf riders. (Fatigue ends at the end of round 25, just in time!)

He readies an attack with his morning star to strike the first ant to come within five feet. He'll go for a wounded one if he has a choice of such targets. (To hit = 20, damage = 2 sigh, worst barbarian ever :))

And in response to Kiwina, Rolth opines, "We were charged with holding the circle, not seeking battle with the Power directly. Perhaps we could close the circle slowly, along with the other groups, once we have worn it down some more. Otherwise, I think we would be slain before we could even reach the thing, given its tremendous reach. For now, we have more pressing matters, with an army of ants approaching!"

Sable’s first shot missed, but his second shot hits Ant8, the he switches to his greatsword.

Kiwina stands ready with spear and sword.

Elyas corrects for the size of the ants and fires a successful shot at ant 9.

Gothruk, seeing several insectoids charging towards him prepares to hold the line.

Rolth regains his breath and readies to attack. He reminds Kiwina there charge was to hold the circle.

Finnian warns the others that something big is coming behind the ants. It resembles an elephant but seems bigger than what Finnian recalls. And, it is clearly suffering from the bloodgrass disease. He fires twice and one arrow hits ant 7.

Falco recognizes the beast that is approaching behind the ants. Falco Highlight to display spoiler: {"Looking like an oversized elephant covered in shaggy brown fur, it is clearly a mastodon! Its tusks are deadly and it likes to charge and trample its foes.}
He levels his crossbow and fires at ant eight, hitting it between the joints of its chitinous shell.

Ant 8 is the only lead ant to resist the grabbing grass, he runs forward and attacks Rolth who responds with a readied at. Gothruk hits it with his readied attack. That, added to the damage caused by Sable’s, Rolth’s, and Finnian’s attacks, kills it.

Only three of the previously entangled ants were able to break free. They move forward, hindered by the spell.

Closing in rapidly is a giant beast. It towers over the eight foot tall grass. Its head bear two enormous sweeping ivory tusks, flanking a long, prehensile snout. Standing about twelve foot at the shoulder, its body is covered with shaggy brown fur, caked and matted with blood. The elephantine beast is clearly infected with the bloodgrass disease.

As its catches sight of the Petals, it raises its head, lifted its snout high in the air, blaring a blast in rage and defiance, as it continues its charge toward you.

Rolth congratulates himself on the kill and waits for more.

Kiwina also is ready to attack any ant that overcomes the enchanted terrain.

Sable is ready to strike the next enemy within reach, but nothing makes it. save that result!

Tsak switches to ranged weapons.

Falco warns about the impending mastodon and takes a shot at one of the ants.

Elyas focuses on the closer foes, but misses with his attack.

Finnian hits ant 7 with his second shot.

Gothruk stands ready for more and ponders elephants and ants. .



The lead ants cannot escape their entanglement. Ants 2 and 11 get grabbed again. Ant 10 charges, manages to stay up through the grease, and survives the readied attacks of Rolth and Gothruk. After this heroic effort to get there, its attack is unable to get through Rolth’s defenses.

Behind these insects, the mastodon continues its charge. As it breaks clear of the tall grass, it shakes its head in rage, releasing another thunderous blast from its massive trunk without slackening in its rush toward the Petals. Gothruk finds his answer as the maddened beast runs right over the ant in its way, squishing it like a bug. It also appears that the clinging vegetation is little match for the thundering bulk as it hurtles toward the Petals, slowed but without much likelihood of it being halted.

As if in reply to the beast’s trumpet, the Sarr issues forth yet another wave of creatures. It significantly depletes itself with this release. The sky between the colossus and the Petals is filled with hundreds of birds, audible even at this distance. They take a moment in apparent confusion, then, seemingly filled with purpose, streak toward the waiting Petals.


But first the Petals have to survive the charging pachyderm...

Kiwina repositions in preparation for the charging mastodon’s approach.

Sable stands ready.

Rolth tries unsuccessfully to deal with the ant that is on him.

Falco hits the charging mastodon with glitterdust. Expect for sparkling, the giant elephant seems unfazed. The surviving ants in the area, however, are all blinded.

Elyas fires a shot, but misses the mark.

Tsak hits ant 5 and Finnian kills ant 7

Gothruk stands ready.


Ant 3 breaks free and moves forward.
Ant 10 tries to step forward, but slips in the grease.
All other ants are either entangled, blinded, or both.

The mastodon charges forward, crushing the ants in its path. Five more insects are destroyed by the dauntless bloody juggernaut.(Ants 11, 2, 7, 10 and 12)


As it gets nearer to the Petals, the maddened beast appears to select Rolth as its target, lowering its head to aim its blood drenched tusks at the awaiting taur. Sable’s greatsword lashes out, cutting deeply into its shoulder. Gothruk misses his first swing, but cuts a shallow gash at the base of its prehensile nose with his second.

The massive’s juggernaut's momentum carries it toward the awaiting Rolth. Its sickly sweet breath nearly chokes the liontaur and then… Its forelegs buckle and it tumbles forward into Rolth. Rolth, take 31 points of trample damage or DC 29 reflex save for half. Even as it plows into the taur, the giant creature transforms into a tall and large clump of grass. Though slightly tinged red, the blades appear to be normal Sarr grasses. The ants, too, transform into harmless grass, the animus that drove them apparently departed.

It appears you have held the circle long enough. Everywhere you look, you see the Sarr-spawn creatures have transformed into ordinary grasses. The flock of birds heading toward the Petals drops from the air, disappearing from sight as its members return to the plain. If you are sickened, Highlight to display spoiler: {You realize that the bloodgrass mutation is gone! You are no longer sick.}


All is quiet.


Then there is a huge writhing as three final gigantic creatures emerge from the depleted Sarr. Even at this distance, the terrible rending sound of their eruption causes you to wince. So large are they -- a hundred or two hundred feet high each -- that in emerging they rip the Sarr asunder! These three figures seem familiar to those who encountered images when you broke the crystals that had infected your homelands: they are the mysterious figures, here born as the new powers of the Sargrass Plains.

One with the oak leaf circlet transforms into a gigantic treant.

Another on stilts, transforms into the mother of all Sarr moths.

Yet another with wings, transforms into a series of flickering bestial shapes.



All three speak together in unison. Their voices entwine together in not quite harmony. Through most of their proclaimation their words are together, but at key points each one uses a distinct word. Though spoken simultaneously, these words are are distinctly discernible.



“WE ARE THE SARR REBORN-BORN-EVOLVED!

WE THANK YOU, HEROES OF THE WOLD, FOR YOUR PART IN BRINGING THE PLAINS BACK TO THE WOLD!”

“WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ROLE IN ENDING-TAMING-CURING THE THREAT-CHALLENGE-DANGER OF THE BLOODGRASS.”

Finnian drops his bow and runs to Rolth's aid, but the adrenaline from the fight has him stumbling over himself and he can't seem to figure out what is wrong "he's right Rolth is dead" Finnian announces in a panic [Heal=8] (no reason to try this wand then.. ) "I won't let the Wold take you" he pleads in desperation as he searchers through his pack for the wand tucked into his belt. He feels a stab in his side and looks down to see it poking him. After Dr. Gothruk and Nurse Finnian's thorough examination he is completely without hope that magical healing will bring him back from the clutches of death, but in vain he tries the wand. [heals 8,technically next round]

As you see and hear the three new Immortal Powers of the Sargrass, a mist rises from the Plains and forms into a light grey cloud over the three newborn immortals at the center of your circle. In the rising mists you see the avatars of gods ... a great silver dragon ... a greater gold dragon ... an all-seeing eye ... a waxing moon ... a blue-eyed dove ... and others besides.

"Oh hello!" You jump in alarm as you are greeted by a small fellow who appears in the middle of your group! He was not there a second ago! He is a funny-looking thing, with a body shaped kind of like a strawberry, but with long spindly arms and short spindly legs. He has mud on his feet -- red glowing mud, though the redness fades away after just a moment. Something about him seems a little bit infernal ... the tiny horns? The scaly skin? Something. But surely no evil demon could sport such an honestly happy grin!

"Well, now! Nicely done! NICELY done, indeed," the happy outsider declares. "While you all distracted that crazy Sarr, the gods have set things to right and anchored the Plains right where they belong. Good job."


The funny fellow walks over to downed liontaur "What's this? Slacking off? Lying down on the job? We can't have that!" He touches Rolth with a thin, twisted finger ... and raises he is immediately revived! Rolth, Highlight to display spoiler: {Rolth is at full hit points.}


Without any further regard for the barbarian, the short guy glances down at his hands and then says formally, "The blood of the Wold has returned where it belongs. The infection called the Bloodgrass is beaten back and tamed. The Plains, preserved by the power of the Fey Queen, are returned and tied into the Wold as they should be. And now life will spring anew throughout this land. You who have responded to the call of the gods, you have earned a place in the history of the Wold, and you have the gratitude of the gods."

The goofy devil bows and tips an invisible hat to you. He grins again.

It takes a double take as its eyes glance toward Falco. Eyes narrowing, it pauses then muses aloud ”This should be interesting.”

Then it brings its attention back to the entire group, "You got questions, ask 'em. You wanna gripe? I'm all ears. If we're done, then it's time to send you home."

In the center of the large circle, you see the three new Powers merging with the mist and joining the gods.

(Rolls: perception = 22 & 17, respectively)

Kiwina looks at the strange, strawberry imp for a moment, then lets out a soft snort. There is a question he tried to get answered before, but nobody would. He does not think this creature will do better, but prepares to ask after everyone else has had a chance to have their questions taken more seriously.

I hope he realizes home is a ship.

Home sounds nice to Sable...

Rolth sits up with a gasp, then clambers to his paws. "You do NOT want to know what's under those grasstodons! I saw things I can never unsee, things that touched me! He pats himself all over to make sure all his bits are in order, after the savage trampling, and is surprised to find himself whole. He takes a closer look around and spies our apparent benefactor, noting his use of cue cards for his speech. (Perception = 22) Rolth nods to the strange fellow and turns his gaze outward, trying to take in what has happened while he was out--only to discover similar envoys talking to the other heroes in the distance. (Perception =27)

He thinks to himself, Home, where is home now? Does Liontaur Isle remain? Or is my home wherever I tread with these proud Petals? Or the WLA, which helped us with advice when we were in the Vale of Twilight and will hopefully do so again? Ah, it is too much right now, I think I'll just bask in this glorious day for the nonce! After about ten seconds of basking, though, his mind flits back to the berryman.

"A question, did you say, why yes, I do believe I have one. How might we best set ourselves on the path to reunite the taur races in Nobility?"

(Perception vs spoiler=21 Pass)
Questions? Nothing comes to mind for Tsak.
Home. What an interesting concept; maybe I'll create one someday, but for now adventure awaits.

Tsak notices that the other groups on the plain appear to be having a similar conversation with a similar being. This doesn't seem any more odd than anything else that's happened recently and he thinks nothing more of it.

Tsak is looking forward to a warm bed, a cold beer and a chance to sit with the petals and plot their next steps in the wold.

Falco lets out a little yelp as the oddly shaped creature speaks behind him. Without thinking a little glob of acid starts to grow in his hand but he quickly dismisses the cantrip before it finishes.

"I have questions. This new power is it three aspects of one or three working together? What happened to the area the sargrass was in before it was recalled here?"

Gothruk listens in especially curious about Rolth's question. To unite the taur races would be an awsome achievement.

I have a slightly less important question so answer the others first. Do you know why plants dislike this group so much? From the very start of the taurnimate with raspberry bushes and huge Taur hedges, to cutting and bleeding grass or many others examples. It seems one of us has been cursed by druids.

Elyas (Ben A.) (29/29 HP | AC: 18; Touch:14; Flat: 15; CMD:15) | Light Crossbow +4( 1D8, 19-20) | Status:Shield  d20+4=11 ; d20+4=15 ;
Friday June 29th, 2018 4:42:48 PM

After all the excitement, Elyas is not particularly perceptive, and has no knowledge about the creature that is talking to them. (perception of 11 and 15)

I do have a question. something that has been nagging at me since we first teleported off of our ship. How much time has elapsed between when we fought the mad crab and touched the crystal and now? Whne we returned home last time, the grass had grown out of control and there was no sign of the treants we had spoken to just a day before by our reckoning

Elyas is wondering just what might be left of their home after everything. if much time had gone by, there might not me much that can be saved. what between the zombie taurs, blood-crazed treants and critters, and the grass itself... the islands might never be the same.
