The Shields agree, and the voice of Mahyawu fades away - although all can detect a happy chuckle at Stohp's response.
The vortex drops down over them. And the scene changes.
For those with any sense of vertigo, it might be an unpleasant switch, for the adventurers find themselves dozens of miles above the Sargrass plains. The entire land is visible, under the violet sky of the Vales of Twilight. The mountain range of crystal runs like a spine down its center.
Then comes the sound. The chanting of the final ritual lines sounds from scores of voices, including, each realizes, their own.
The chant rises in volume. On the far side of the land, a face appears. A smiling woman of surpassing beauty smiles and nods once. Knowledge Religion DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { It is Maab herself }
With that nod, the Sargrass Plains lift up from it resting spot, floats below the group, and speeds off. In a flash, the Shields chase behind. At unheard of speeds, the Sargrass, the adventurers, and groups of others whip through clouds and mist, first of purple hue, and then in white cloud, blue sky, and yellow suns.
You are over the Wold now, whisking away across an endless expanse of ocean, and then land again, in a duration of mere minutes.
A tremendous boom rattles the cosmos, as the land below breaks apart and peels away, forming a gigantic chasm.
Into that chasm, the Sargrass approaches, hovers, drops. The shockwave of the landing rushes out across the rest to the Wold in a visible circle of force.
And then silence.
The Sargrass is returned to the Wold.
And now the party rushes downward, hurtling toward the ground.

At first as things start to shift, Stock twists his head around to take everything in. Very quickly, though, he begins to get disoriented and instead closes his eyes.
He is a bit amused by the chanting and eventually opens his eyes again, just in time to see the world rushing up at him.

As the scene changes, Dorbin wavers and reaches his hands out to steady himself on something, anything. He moves to drop to a knee when the land starts moving up towards him. He gulps and burps as his stomach adjusts to what he is seeing.
Micah's eyes wide from the ritual experience, they widen to the point of popping when he realizes that Maab is herself present. As things continue to unfold before him, he watches unblinking.
When gravity takes hold, he forces himself to close his widened eyes. Domi, save us, he prays as he plummets toward the unforgiving ground. Trying to repress his building panic, he concentrates on his breathing, struggling to maintain his self control.

DM MikeK - The Circle Wednesday May 30th, 2018 9:35:45 PM
The group descends, heading toward an open plain. It is another of those flat rock outcroppings, although this one is very large, nearly a mile in diameter.
The sickly sweet red grass is here, growing on the thin dirt layer covering the rock. But, as the group descends, the grass retreats before them.
Other figures are descending from the sky as well, nine groups of them spaced out in a rough circle even with the circumference of the rock (ie – nearly a mile). The spacing puts the groups to your right and left almost a quarter mile from you.
The grass is retreating inward from the circle’s edge, piling up in the center as the Shields touch down. Someone with an acute sense of irony would note that only Sid is unable to keep his feet. The elf crashes to the ground, but is up quickly, with no damage suffered other than to his pride.
From ground level, the piling grass is becoming rather large rather swiftly.
The grass continues to gather and grows into the form of a colossal sized, red vine/grass, plant like humanoid creature. The grass that covers it is a never ending mess of writhing red tendrils The red plant thing must be 150ft wide and 400ft tall.
The creature roars! In a loud voice it screams, “MY HOME! MY HOME! MY CHILDREN!” Sense Motive DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: { It 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! } Know Religion DC35: Highlight to display spoiler: { It is the Sar!

The colossus is generally facing away from the Shields, focused mostly on the groups on the other side of the circle. If its general orientation is 12 on an analog clock, the Shields are approximately at 5. Shifting its faceless gaze right and left to take you in, the colossus shrieks once more, and raises his arms.
It’s “skin” is moving, rippling in thousands of individual directions.
Once more, the clear voice of Mahyawu sounds in your heads. “You MUST HOLD the Circle! Should it be broken, all will perish!”
Again – Everyone is fully healed. Please fix your headers. Any spell of duration have expired. All casters have a full complement of spells – please indicate memorized spells in your posts or on your sheets. Wow, all these preparatory notes. Not at all ominous….

Taking a few steps forwards to be the frontline he holds his sword aloft, "Spirit of Courage, To Arms! Spirit of Resolve, guard my heart."

As Zander began his call to arms, Bartomus watched the thing turn and look about at the various groups of individuals that had formed a circle about it. "Not sure that this is getting any better, either."
He looked about and shook his head as Zander finished. "So, we are doing this then. Totally agree, lets not call its attention to us. Love that plan, best plan ever actually." ------ 16 on a sense motive; sheet shows highlighted spells.

Micah is every bit a priest and as a priest of Domi he has been educated and trained for war. He surveys the field and mentally begins making some preparations. Emboldened by what he perceives to be overwhelming odds and Metayanu's admonition, he forms a plan and states it. Adding to Zanderallen's instructions he calls out, "We appear to be a part of some form of mystic circle. We, along with the other groups, have been called to hold it. We can expect something to siege against it and likely at any of the positions. I propose we get into a formation of two ranks with a flanker," as he says the last he reinforces his words with gestures. [/b]"Zanderallen you take left front. Next to him, with a five foot space between you goes Stock. Enlarged of course,"[/b] he adds with a grin. "Then I will take right front, also with a (five foot) gap between me and the dwarf. Bartomus and Stohp, you each take second rank, taking advantage of your greater reach. Dorbin, you stand between the two taurs. Finally, Sid, you take a flanking position hidden in the grass slightly ahead and aside of us and try to stay within thirty feet of me should I need to channel."
He then reaches into his bag and extends a simple ring of platinum to the elf. "Put this on. Once empowered, it will provide you some protection, and should you be injured, divert some of the damage from you to me." as he says this he puts on a similar ring. Then he starts casting spells as if the Wold depends on it.

As the colossus of red grass grows and writhes, Zanderallen and Micah call on their comrades to prepare themselves.
The cleric hands Sid a ring, and puts one on himself, while the group arranges themselves in battle formation.
Stock eyes the group to the right, a liontaur and several humanoids, and his left, four taurs and four humanoids. Both groups appear to be doing the exact same thing as the Shields, getting ready for whatever is coming.
Zanderallen invokes Keen on his sword and casts a Protection spell upon himself.
Micah casts Shield Other on Sid, and then Magic Circle of Protection from Evil on Stock.
----
Another roar erupts from the crazed plant creature, and an army of hundreds of creatures erupts from it’s body, flinging themselves in all directions. Perception DC15: Highlight to display spoiler: { The Colossus itself shrinks slightly as the monsters wriggle out of it. }
They appear to be monsters, of every type and description, running, flying, crawling, and burrowing as fast as they possibly can away from the colossus and toward the adventurers holding the circle.
It may be some small comfort to know a good majority are headed away from the Shields. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of nasties coming their way.
At the forefront, a single creature streaks toward the group. Reptillian in shape, brilliantly colored, and with bat like wings that look like glass, the large sized dragon covers half the distance to the heroes in a single round.

We are in rounds. The dragon is 1000’ away, moving at 1000’ per round. Behind it, more creatures are coming, but the distance to be covered is causing them to approach in waves, depending on their speed.

Stohp eyes the creature and tries to calculate distances. "Unless it speeds up or slows down we'll get a shot at whatever that is before it gets a shot at us."
With this knowledge Stohp figures she should open with a tanglefoot bag. It might not work against so large a foe, but if it does it'll give them a big advantage right off. (Prepared action to throw bag when it enters range).

The dragon, which is multihued, not red, rushes toward the Shields. Trailing some distance behind it is what appears to be a man riding one of those rapke things, and a group of some kind of flying creatures.
But the immediate problem is this dragon. At 15’ long and with a wingspan to match, it is not the enormous monster from stories and paintings, but it is a dragon nonetheless.

Zanderallen invokes a smite evil, unfortunately in its natural state, this dragon is not evil. It is however, currently, being controlled and somewhat insane. Never-the-less the smite evil does not take effect. Zanderallen swings his sword but is unable to hit the monster.
Micah also strikes at the dragon, unfortunately his misses.
From further back Dorbin unleashes another furious acid dart. Well it seems to be working the acid hits the dragon and burns. The dragon's eyes roll in crazy directions (as in each eye rolls around looking a different direction). But Dorbin definitely thinks the Dragon is eyeing him.
Stock wades in being sure to be in flanking position with Sid. His hit rings out loud on the dragon's crystal scales.
DM speak, since we don't have a map for this battle, I'm going to rule that Sid is behind the monster, Zanderallen and Micah are in front, and Stock is reaching over them to hit the creature. That means the three in front gain flanking with Sid and vise versa.
The dragon, still rearing opens it's mouth and lets loose a terrible shout (breath weapon sonic). I'm ruling that the one's in the Cone Effect are: Zanderallen, Micah, Stock, and Dorbin. Damage 18 (10d4) DC19 Reflex for 1/2 damage.

Bartomus winced when the dragon shouted. But he tried to focus on the others in the distance. He had his spell to call lightening in place, he might be able to see if a bolt could be pulled down at those riding at them. The rapke would be easier. He focused and as the creature approached made the gesture to pull a bolt down at the rapke. ---- Call lightening - concentration check = 18 (20-2); reflex save reduces damage (9) by half; shaken 13/14; lightening 4/6 remaining

The breath weapon hits Dorbin in the face and the staggers again at the power of the rainbow dragon. He is grateful to feel the power of Micah’s healing almost immediately. He takes a step back and throws another tiny magical dart at the dragon. This time the dart flies high and wide.

Things are happening fast. Smashing the Dragon once felt good but Stock still feels unsettled...to say the least. And then he hears Micah mention that it is a Crystal Dragon...Crystal...
...and Stock is a kid again and his father's crystal decanter slips from his grip and falls to the stone floor, shattering.
...and Stock is back. "I HATE CRYSTAL!".

Zanderallen manages to raise his shield in time to absorb some of the dragon mighty breath.

Micah courageously stands his ground and heals the party.
Bartomus calls down a lighting at the rapke bearing its rider forward. What's the reflex save number? You don't list it, I'm going to assume a 20 makes the save. The Rapke seems to dodge some of the damage. Since Bartomus is looking that way...Perception check 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {Whatever is sitting on the rapke, it ain't human, or elven, or dwarven, or goblin, or orc, or anything you've seen before.

Sid once again stabs the dragon successfully! This is fun, and easy he must be thinking to himself.
Dorbin lets fly another acid dart, but it sails wide. Fortunately his previous hits still do some damage.
Stock channels his inner child and smashes the dragon again.
Stohp appears to be contemplating what to do.
The dragon staggered and clearly near the end of its life lashes out at the creatures offending it. It bites at Stock: To hit 25 (d20+16) hits and deals 17 points damage. It claws at Micah: To hit 33 (d20+15) hits and deals 8 points damage. It claws at Zanderallen: To hit 20 (d20+15) and misses.

The blast of Bartomus' bolt draws Micah's attention beyond the dragon. Immediately recognizing the rider on the rapke, Micah calls out The rider is a ghoul, an undead abomination.

The chaos of battle is all around and yet somehow, through his rage Stock recognize the approaching flying creatures. "Harpies! Harpies!" He is barely able to make that much coherent before he goes into smashing mode again.
Stock will never remember exactly how it happened but one moment, he was sure he would narrowly miss with his mighty swing, and the next, the hit lands a solid blow to the exposed right flank of the dragon. ========== Status Effects: Rage (3 used), Shaken - 19 rounds; Enlarged - 57 rounds; Magic Circle against Evil - 60 min.

Bartomus watched as another lightening bolt dropped from the sky and the approaching rapke and its rider. He stared at the approaching rider and realized it wasn't human or any other race he knew. "That's not human, folks. That thing is not human."
Then he felt the smash of something hard against his shoulder and arm. At the same time there was this terrible piercing singing. Bartomus tried to pull another bolt from the sky, but everything was too much for him to concentrate to do that. It fizzled in his mind.

And suddenly you no longer fear the presence of the now dead dragon. You are no longer shaken, prepare to be stirred.
Bartomus calls down a desperate lighting strike. The Harpy is partially able to dodge the bolt. Then he hears the siren song of the harpy and everything goes blank.
Sid if you move over to Stohp you will provoke an AOO from your harpy. So I'm going to keep you fighting your harpy. Sid swings at the harpy on him, connecting. Fortunately the harpy could still be considered flanked from Zanderallen who stepped in front of him.
Stoph steps to the other side of the ghoul attacking him, but to no avail. However, this potentially puts the ghoul in flanking for Zanderallen.
Micah blesses the party. Everyone is filled with vigor.
Stock whips his flail at the incoming harpy connecting soundly. He whips it around again connecting and the harpy drops like a sack of potatoes. Stock you can pretty much reach any harpy with a 5 foot step, except maybe the ones on Bartomus or Dorbin.
Dorbin casts summon monster. What will pop up?
Zanderallen swings at the double abomination before him for he realizes this Ghoul is also an anti-paladin! Seeing Stohp's new position attacking the ghoul, Zanderallen takes a 5 foot step.He calls on his divine powers and swings at the ghoul. Only his first attack hits, and only because of the flanking bonus. Technically you make your will save with Stock's protection from evil. Also you need to make 1 more fortitude save DC 13 for the poison bite from last time, or take 1d3 dex
Monsters act: The ghoul, being undead is unaffected by the harpy's song, as is his undead rapke mount. He laughs, "Oh, this is fun." He swings at Zanderallen. to hit 32 (d20+19) damage 19 (d12+14) to hit 23 (d20+14) miss
The rapke bites at Stohp. to hit 19 (d20+13) just hitting. damage 17 (2d6+10) and poison save DC 13 fort, or 1d3 dex loss.
Harpy 1, drops down to attack Bartomus, who is under her spell. Stock gets an AOO. The harpy attacks Bartomus. (Note this attack is thwarted if Stock is able to deal 38 or more points of damage on the AOO) To hit 18 (d20+8) damage 8 (d8+1)

Micah is almost distracted by the other harpy's song and sees the effect being had on his allies. He says to Dorbin and Bartomus, "Remember that I have a metamagic rod of silent spell in my belt".
Casting defensively with heroic intensity he casts silence to cancel the harpies' song and the potential roar of the rapke.

As the battle rages, a leopard suddenly appears and charges the rapke from behind!
Dorbin sees that Bart is in trouble and lets loose with an explosion of color right next to him.

It's very instinctual when Stock is in a rage. See something, hit something. This time he sees brown feathers out of the corner of his eye and whips his flail to the side. "HAHA! Another one! Fly birdie fly!"
Somewhere there is more singing. It's ugly though and right now he prefers to smash things.
And then everything is silent. Up ahead, is one of those four legged beasts that stunned him before. Stock hates those. He charges forward and strikes the beast.

Zanderallen's reply to the ghoul is lost as Micah's silence descends upon the battlefield. The swing of his counter attack is widely off the mark.

Micah reminds the casters in the party of his meta magic wand. Then promptly drops a silence spell to block the harpy song.
Sid feels deafened by the Silence spell (you are in range so you don't need to make a save. You do have to spend the hero point though to kill harpy2). Sid's first swing is wide, distracted by the too many things going on. But he summons his reserves and plants his sword deep in the harpy as it comes in for the attack.
Stohp is barely in the silence spell radius, causing the harpy song to sputter in and out like an un-tuned radio (whatever that is, since it doesn't exist in the Wold). She lashes out at the rapke's legs. She manages to trip it, bringing the rapke and it's rider down. PS Stohp must make 2 successful DC 13 Fortitude saves on the rapke poison. She owes me one for this action, and will owe another for next action. failure means 1d3 dex loss.
Dorbin casts hypnotic pattern, while one harpy seems to shake it off, the other does not. Result she stops singing and falls. (taking 1d6 falling damage). Dorbin's leopard rips into the rapke, with all attacks hitting. However it fails to grapple the creature.
Stock hits harpy 1 as it flies nearby, but does not kill it. He doesn't notice as he is concerned with the lizard up front that caused so much damage before. He swings at it and hits, because it is now prone. Note the AC shown below is the not prone AC.
Zanderallen swings where the ghoul was missing. His backswing though connects.
Monsters act: The ghoul feeling his mount falling attempts a quick dismount and succeeds (landing at W19). On the ground he takes a 5 foot step(V18). He then opts to channel negative energy healing himself and his undead mount. He then commands his mount, "fight where you are or they are going to whip you like the master does.
The rapke is fighting prone it bites at Stock. to hit 29 (d20+9) potential crit, not confirmed 15 (d20+9) damage 18 (2d6+10) and poison save DC 13 fort, or 1d3 dex loss. You must make 2 consecutive saves to be rid of poison
It claws at Stohp, missing both times.
Harpy 1, attacks Bartomus drops down to attack Bartomus, again, who is still fascinated by the song and unable to prevent the attacks. to hit 15 (d20+8) damage 4 (d8+1) to hit 18 (d20+3) damage 7 (d8+1) Bartomus, you deed not post last time, this damage was from last round and still needs to be put into your header damage 8 (d8+1) According to my calculations from Bartomus's last post that puts him at 0 hit points. Bartomus crumples to the ground!
Harpy 3 continues to attack Micah. Missing both times. to hit 21 (d20+8) miss to hit 16 (d20=3) miss
Harpy 5 attacks at Stohp, now with the flanking bonus from the rapke/ghoul combination. To hit 25 (d20+10) damage 5 hp to hit 18 (d20+5) miss
Harpy 6 hits the ground and seems out of it.

The poison continues to work it's way through Stoph's system, her body offering very little resistance. If she could talk she would probably say something like, "Guys, I don't feel so good.", but alas the silence prevents such things. Swaying a little unsteadily and kind of stuck in the middle of things, that always seemed to be her luck, Stoph heaves her flail over her head and brings it crashing down on the kidneys of the rapke lying prone in front of her. -------------------------- Fort save 4(d20+3), 2 more dex damage, Stoph has taken 5 total Dex damage Attack on Rapke 25(d20+10) counting flank and prone bonus Damage 17 (d10+3d6 sneak)

Sid moves to U23 so that he is flanking h3 with Micah and goes for another attack with his Sword of Stabbings. Afterwards he flags Dorbin and frantically points at Bart.

When Micah sees Bartomus drop, his first inclination is to channel energy to revive him. He can only exclude a couple of creatures and he observes that, not counting the undead foes, three other enemies are within range.
Realizing that one of the wounded foes is distracted by Dorbin's magic, he decides it better to heal that harpy than to not heal Bartomus and acts on his initial instinct.

Seeing the others dealing with the rapke, Dorbin directs the leopard to attack the ghoul. It leaps into action, diving for the ghoul’s throat and slashing with all its claws but mostly missing it.
Dorbin sees Sid pointing at Bart. Dorbin looks over and can see that one harpy is down, but so is Bart. Then he feels the healing energy put out by Micah. He knows Bart will get up, but hopefully he can slow down the harpy. He stops concentrating on the hypnotic pattern and throws a small magical dart at the still flying harpy.

Hero point to Micah - for John's emeritus service.
The ghoul realizes he misstepped as Zanderallen comes forward blade swinging. One swipe connects with the ghoul.
Stohp swings her fail and connects with the rapke. Does she seem less sure of her footing.
Sid slides around the combat and stabs harpy 3. A good hit, but it's the first time this one has been hit.
Micah channels energy to heal. Even as Bartomus collapses on the ground he is aware of the impact. He's conscious but elects to remain still. Harpy 6 feels a little better, or does she in her current state? (only harpy 6 is in range and not undead, so she heals some, but the rapke will not, it's undead.)
Stock rears his mighty flail and whacks the rapke. Clearly the lizard has returned to its grave again. Stock whirls his flail around Stohp and hits the nearby harpy.
Dorbin directs the leopard to attack the ghoul. It does so, hitting once. you can't use the special attack unless he can charge and he only moved 5 feet to get to the ghoul. Dorbin lets fly another magic dart at the harpy on Bartomus. That seemed to do the trick of getting the harpy's attention.
Monsters act: Seeing his beloved mount killed again, the ghoul screams, "Precious!" He eyes everyone present. "I'll get you yet my pretties." He unleashes his swirling battleaxe on Zanderallen. The first swing connects 31, (d20+19) damage 18 (d12+14) the followup swing misses 13 (d20+13) miss. The his head snaps forward and he attempts to bite Zanderallen 22 (d20+12) miss.
Harpy 1, turns and wings it over to Dorbin, there are signs of blood spittle coming out of her mouth. to hit 23 (d20+8) damage 4 (d8+1)
Harpy 3 decides that since she is having such a hard time hitting Micah she'll hit the one that hurt her. She swings at Sid. to hit 19 (d20+8) hit damage 9 (d8+1) to hit 18 (d20+3) miss
Harpy 5 attacks at Stohp, while making a 5 foot slide away from Stock. To hit 16 (d20+8) just barely missing. to hit 23 (d20+3) potential crit, not confirmed 8 (d20+3) damage 5 (d8+1)
Harpy 6 lays on the ground, out of it for this round again...in fact she's flatfooted, too bad someone can't coup-d-grace her.

Bartomus felt the energy flow about him and the blackness about him turned to gray. He looked about and stood. His focus had been lost and he was now looking at a harpy that seemed to be more disoriented than he was. He glanced at the lizards, the giant lizards that were barrelling down on the Shields. Then further away creatures of fire were running towards. These were things he had heard about, described when he was a child sitting about the tribal fires in the desert plains.
"Something wicked is coming behind those lizards, something we need to really be worried about," his voice was a bit shaky in its depth, but certain in its tone. "Hell hounds, nessian hell hounds, Micah."
He fished into his pouch and pulled out a small glass tube with a cork stopper. He flipped off the stopper and guzzled the liquid inside. Warmth and tingles coursed through his body. ---- Knowledge Nature - lizards = 6; Knowledge Nature - running fire quadrupeds =23; consumed one CMW potion for 16

The pain of the harpy's attacks followed by the pulse of healing is disconcerting, but Sid shrugs it off and quips at the harpy, maybe, who knows he's in a bubble of silence. His sword strikes true though.

Stohp takes a 5 foot step down and east so that Stock can get in range of the Harpy if he so desires. After a moment's consideration she drops her weapon and tries to wrap herself around the harpy and immobilize it (Grapple 12, nat 1).

With another enemy down, Stock picks up his head and scans the charging beasts.
Whoa. Big lizards...and...beyond them...
He goes to shout out what he sees but then realizes that he is in the zone of silence. Then he realizes just how quiet things have been. It is entirely possible that the sounds of battle have been entirely in his head.
He sees Stohp trying to wrestle a heavily injured harpy to the ground. As it begins to break free, Stock steps up and aims a pair of measured strikes at the winged beast.
He looks up again and sees the charging lizards even closer now. Hmmph. I guess those guys will be Round 3 then.

Dorbin’s leopard continues his attacks, trying to grab the nasty ghoul by the throat, hoping to rip it to pieces. Meanwhile, Dorbin realizes his plan to save Bart had a small flaw, and that flaw is the harpy attacking him right now! He reaches for a non-existent sword and realizes that even if he had one, he wouldn’t know how to use it. Instead, he takes a step back, waves his arms, and as a mist appears, he moves further away from the attacking harpy.
OOC: Leopard, 5’ step to V17 for flanking. Attack ghoul bite hits AC 25 (d20+10), damage: 8, grab gives him an attempt to grapple: 19. If that beats its CMD, it will be grappled by leopard’s teeth.

The mist should be a cloud in a 20-ft radius, 20 ft high, centered on X30. Dorbin would then move to about U32 or T31 in the mist. The mist: “The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance).

Micah decides to take a hand in the combat with the harpy. Unfortunately he cannot connect.
Bartomus downs a much needed potion and calls out that there are hell hounds and a nessian hell hound approaching. Too bad much of the party is still in the silence spell that Micah put up.
Sid is determined to end another harpy, and he does as his sword impales the creature.
Stohp tries to grapple the harpy but is unsuccessful. PS while you were out, Stohp got bitten by the Rapke, you are poisoned, you have currently lost 5 dex, be sure to update your header, also your are poisoned. You must continue to make saves for 2 more rounds as this is ongoing poison. So save DC 13 fortitude, failure means loose 1d3 dex.
Stock murders the harpy and feathers fly everywhere.
Sid directs the leopard to flank and attack. He then tries to get away from the harpy and casts obscuring mist. You can't 5 foot step, cast, then move again. Sorry. You can 5 foot step and then cast avoiding the AOO if you stay where you were and cast.
Zanderallen continues to work on the ghoul hitting it and finally sending it to where-ever ghouls go when they are slain.
Harpy 6 lays on the ground, out of it for this round again...in fact she's flatfooted, too bad someone can't coup-d-grace her.
Entering the fray are two gargantuan lizards. Fortunately they don't appear to be dragons. However, they are obviously affected by the red weed disease and have many open sores and bleeding cysts.
Trex1 comes charging in and bites down on the leopard, utterly destroying it. The lizard looks momentarily baffled by the lack of something in it's mouth. to hit 35 (d20+20) Damage 39 (4d6+22)
Trex2 charges forward and bites at Stohp, and misses! Stohp can see the size of those teeth and mouth and realizes she could quite easily fit inside. to hit 21 (d20+20, a nat 1)

Bartomus watched Sid walk over and kill the dazed harpy. "Sid, we have hell hounds coming next, after the lizards. We have hell hounds, nessian hell hounds, coming at us next. Not good."
He looked at the giant lizards, and their diseased like appearance. He shook his head and began weaving his fingers and blew upon his hand as he made a ball and threw it at the giant lizard on his side of the Shields' battle line.

Stohp hrms to herself. These new enemies are to big for her to grapple, have no weapon to disarm, and are difficult to trip with 4 legs. Deciding she wants nothing to do with it she withdraws and moves behind Stock. If he doesn't reduce it to chunks in short order she'll figure out some way of helping him take it down.

Stock sneezes amongst the cloud of feathers and the giant lizard is upon them. The size, speed, and grace of its first attack on Stohp is quite literally awe inspiring. At least it would be if Stock wasn't in a murderous rage.
And then Stohp backs away behind him. The dwarf begins gesturing vigorously for Stohp to go right and get on the beasts opposite flank.
Stock reaches back and grabs a potion, pops the cap and chugs it down, stepping deeper into the space between the two giant lizards. =========== Status Effects: Rage (8 used), Enlarged - 52 rounds; Magic Circle against Evil - 60 min (in header).; Bless Move/Standard: Draw an chug a potion of cure serious wounds for 15 (5+3+7) Not sure why it kept wanting to roll d3's...ignore those.

Zanderallen exalts as the ghoul drops beneath his blade. The celebration is cut short as the giant lizard chomps down on the leopard in front of him. All color drains out of his face as he watches that bite. Not even his plate stood much of a chance of withstanding that. But backing down was not his way. Stepping forward he closes bolsters himself once more with positive energy, realizing that his power was nearing it's limit until he rested. ----------------------- Keen, Prot from Evil Lay on Hands 13 (2+5+6) (5 used) 5ft step to U18 Total Defense Action (+4 to AC)

Sid somehow maneuvers through the obscuring mist and manages to find the dazed harpy and slit its throat. He see's Bartomus mouthing something but because he's in the silence zone cannot hear what it is.
Bartomus casts burning sphere and moves it up the line.
Micah charges the last harpy but misses.
Stohp wisely chooses to withdraw. You did not indicate a location on the map so I just moved you back
Stock downs a healing potion and considers taking a 5 foot step forward, but that would put him on top of the dead rapke and would be difficult terrain.You can't move where you indicated so I'm not moving you just yet.
Dorbin moves to the edge of the mist and begins casting.

Sid looks around and realizes how thick the mist is. Knowing where h1 was he moves to w29 to try and flank it between him and Micah. His sword meets mist and he purses his lips for a moment.
I have got to make a language for the Shields that uses hand gestures, he thinks to himself as he remembers Bart's somber expression.

Stohp is very surprised, but pleased, that the T Rex is eating corpses rather than attacking. "Avoid the second one and keep the path between it and any corpses clear. We can kill the other while it's eating. Heck it might attack the other monsters coming for us."
Suiting actions to words she heads down to help finish the harpy, picking up her weapons along the way.

Stock involuntarily flinches as the lizard head comes down...and then feeds. "Gross. That can't taste good."
Doing his best to skip around the feeding lizard, Stock bellows an attack and moves to support Zanderallen. Even in his rage he can feel the other lizard at his back as he moves in and brings his flail to bear.

Dorbin looks across the field of battle. He is prepared to work with the massive dinosaur nearest him, but when he hears Stohp mention attacking the other one, he points at the dino and three eagles appear in the air around him and they all attack it from above!
Glad to have someone between him and the other monsters, Dorbin reaches out and touches Stohp. A light flash of blue covers Stohp’s body and her outline suddenly looks a little off. Dorbin remains at the edge of the mist.

Micah's mind is racing. For now they have to survive, but if they do the Silver Shields have to take the time to get in a better formation. He idly wonders if they could move a dragon body to form a defensive barrier, but does not consider their having any chance of being able to move one of the giant lizards, provided they out live the two of them.

Harpy 1 takes a step out of the mist, and attacks Bartomus. Her mace lands a solid blow. Bartomus takes 9 hp damage.

Stohp drops her weapons again and tries to grapple the harpy so it can't continue to hit them (13 to grapple)
The pain is intense. Stock can feel the strength of the jaws piercing his armor. He finds his mind racing trying to work through his options, even through his rage and his pain. True to form, Stock takes the direct route. He switches his flail to his left hand and reaches back, drawing his handaxe. Bellowing in hate and pain and anger, he brings it down with all of his might.

Sid moves out of the mist, spots the harpy, and cuts it down with a swift stroke. OOC – Sid was already at V29. DM assumes intent was to move up to V27, where harpy would be visible. Also, not seeing any ability on sheet to move, attack, and move again. Therefore, keeping Sid at V27.
Bartomus watches Sid put down the harpy, and then watches the flaming sphere hit TRex1.
Seeing Sid has already dispatched the harpy, Stohp keeps her weapons in hand.
Bellowing in anger, pain, and a bit of panic, Stock pulls out a handaxe and frantically hacks at the TRex. He gets one good blow in.
Dorbin’s eagles continue to swoop and attack. A couple attacks hit. Dorbin himself hits the TRex with an acid dart.
Zanderallen presses his attack in an attempt to aid Stock. One blow gets through.
Micah takes a step and sends out a wave of positive energy. Zanderallen, Stock, Stohp, and Sid are healed for 12 hp OOC – Stock was out of range without a 5’ step.
---
With a practiced jerk, TRex 1 throws its head slightly back, and then forward, encasing Stock within its huge maw. With a quick swallow, the dwarf is gone. The TRex then takes a step away from the flaming sphere. Stock takes 18 hp damage, and finds himself in the stomach of the beast.
TRex 2 tromps toward the mist, eyeing it, Bartomus, Sid, and Micah, as if making up its mind.
----
From above comes a cheerful voice. In a clear tenor, it calls out, “Hello! The Iron Dragons bid you greetings, and sent us to ask if you need any….oh, dear. I guess you do.” Two thin, elf like humanoids with silver white hair, drop from the sky and land in front of TRex 2.
Immediately, multiple images of each elf appear, superimposed upon one another. It makes for a very confusing effect, and TRex2 blinks repeatedly, swaying its head from one to the other.

Meanwhile, the hellhounds are still tearing across the broken plain. They are 3 rounds away.

Sid looks at the elf guys, "Stock was just swallowed! If you want to one of you needs to attack THAT ONE!" He points to Trex1 and leaves them to figure it out. Sid moves to either v16 or u16, which ever one is lacking Zanderallen and is at the belly of the beast.Sid starts singing a dwarven warsong. It is a bar song that he learned while bar tending. It isn't pretty and it isn't in any key disceranble by man or dwarf, but it is a call and response. "Brother's we must fight in the mines," he yells almost without melody.

Stohp runs up to v18, shouting "Enlarge me, I can grapple it!" There's a beat of silence as she consider's the poison weakening her and the shear size of the thing. "Maybe. Ok, probably not, but what else am I going to do?!?"
If someone enlarges her her 23 to grapple. Otherwise 13 to hit, which misses.

Micah processes the developments almost subconsciously: Stock swallowed by one of the giant lizards; Zanderallen continuing to wound the one that did so; the other one being harassed by providential assistance from the Iron Dragons; and on coming hell hounds.
His decision is made quickly: Zanderallen must stay in the fight.
Counting on the predatory instincts of the wounded beast overcoming any tactical consideration, he moves within reach of the terrible creature, waving his shield and free arm wildly to gets its attention and, now that the silence spell has worn off, shouting, "OVER HERE YOU OVERGROWN GECKO! I BET YOU CAN'T SWALLOW ME!"

Bartomus watched as the giant lizard swallowed Stock. He looked in disbelief as the dwarf vanished as the giant creature tossed its head back. He flipped his fingers and directed the sphere at the creature. "Hope we can rescue Stock, I mean he's alive right?" ---- Sphere - dmg 10; reflex against 15 negates

All at once, things got quiet. A part of his animal brain screamed in terror, another part howled in anger, and the final (small) part wondered that it didn't hurt more. Regardless, there really is only one path open to Stock. As always, Stock does what Stock does. Straight ahead...and the axe came down again and again.

Dorbin’s eagles continue their swooping and diving attacks, slowly trying to wear the massive beast down. Dorbin stares, mouth agape, as Stock completely disappears into the beast. He reflexively reaches for his notebook to take notes, but shakes his head, clearing it, as he watches the other creature approach. He is relieved when the two flying elf-like creatures move to distract the other huge lizard. He still isn’t sure about the massive beast’s intentions, so he slips through the fog, preparing his crossbow as he moves.

Zanderallen keeps after TRex 1, hitting the giant lizard with another solid blow.
Sid flips and flops across the battlefield, seeking to get in next to Zanderallen, and bring Stock hope.
It doesn’t work.
The TRex1 catches the rogue in mid flip, nearly cutting the unfortunate elf in half. Sid takes 35 hp damage. OOC – TRex CMD is 39. Sid’s acrobatics check of 26 fails to avoid AoO. It looks like Sid did not update his header with the 12 hp he gained from Micah last round. Adding that, I've got Sid at -4 hp.
Stohp also runs up on the TRex, but it is preoccupied with Sid, and cannot also attack the taur. The taur tries grapping the gargantuan lizard, but fails.
Micah ALSO runs up on the TRex, shouting in an attempt to get its attention!
Bartomus rolls the flaming sphere into the TRex. It dances out of the way.
Inside the TRex, Stock slashes though stomach wall and intestines and other yummy bits in a bid for freedom. With a final hack, the dwarf cuts an opening in the creature’s belly, and slides out.
The eagles set upon the TRex with a vengeance.
With a final cry, the gargantuan creature falls, dead.
---
TRex 2 snaps at elf 2, but is unable to find purchase amongst the bobbing images.
Each elf creature sends a lightning bolt slamming into TRex 2.
One of the elves looks over, and cheerfully calls out. “Nice job! Say, there’s a bunch of fire dogs about to attack. We can lend a hand with some healing spells, unless you got that handled.”
----
In the center of the circle, the Colossus cries out, YOU WILL NOT HURT MY LAND! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED SO EASILY! Again it flings its tendrils outward, and again creatures begin racing toward you. It was hard to tell this the first time, but this time it's more obvious-- It has shrank considerably in sending out all those creatures.

Quickly taking in the situation, he starts yelling orders. "Zanderallen, form a rank with me using Stock's mother on your left flank. Stock--welcome back--get behind us and use your reach to attack the dogs! And stay within my reach, so I can heal you. Stohp, grab some harpy building blocks and toss them to my right. We need to funnel our enemies to a focused front." Sid--you crazy elf--fall back and use some arrows! Dorbin and Bart--keep it up! New Allies! If you keep that overgrown dwarf eater occupied, we would be much obliged!
Wound tight as a clock spring, he moves forward in anticipation of a new attack, pointing to where he thinks the paladin should be.

Sid's eye nearly pop out when he sees the teeth lined jaws coming right at him despite his fancy footwork. He doesn't even have a chance to scream before everything goes dark.
A warmth envelops him and he wakes up on the grass, aching and covered in scratches, but still alive. The first thing he notices is the giant lizard is lying dead next to him. Did I do that? he wonders to himself.
The next thing he realizes is Micah is barking orders like a sergeant. Fall back and use arrows? He seriously considers it as he stands up and retrieves his weapons from where he had dropped them.

Stohp is pretty confused by the order but gamely goes over and picks up some harpy corpses (T27 I guess). She struggles a lot with them - she's never been particularly strong (Carrying load of 90). Eventually she just grabs a pair by the feet and drags them along behind her (lets her move up to 5x her capacity).

Stock emerges from the beast's belly with a battle yell as it literally collapses around him, picking up Sid's Dwarven song where he hears it leave off. "Ring the stone and break their bones. Into the mines we go..."
He stands over Sid, eyeing the remaining lizard and breathing heavily. He then sheathes his hand axe, now liberally coated with gore, and consumes a potion.

Dorbin surveys the field and remains near the rear. He directs his eagles to quickly head over and hit the remaining trex, but after that attack, he’s going to have them come back and get in the way of the approaching fire dogs. Meanwhile, he takes careful aim at long range with his crossbow and fires. He doesn’t really see where the bolt goes, though, because the animals are so far away.
OOC: 3 Eagles: AC 14; HP: 7/7/7 Round (3/7) Eagle attacks (1 each since they moved): 1d20+5=20; d20+5=9 ; d20+5=25 threat to confirm: d20+5=10 ; d4+2=6 Total damage to t-rex: 6
My calculations guesses: if hell hounds are running, I think their speed is 160 ft/round. So when they are still one full round away, they should be 160 feet away. The crossbow range increment is 80 ft, so Dorbin is going to attempt a shot when the dogs are 160 feet away, still 1+ round away. That should give him a -2 to hit. But he only rolled a 14 to hit (d20+4=14), so probably none of that matters.

Zanderallen stays in blank confusion at Micah for half a second, his eyes looking around for another dwarf. Putting two and two together as he sees Stock covered in lizard insides and his means of exiting he moves to the gestured location. He eyes the approaching hell hounds before throwing a glance at the remaining T-Rex and the two beings that hold it off, "I know not who you are strangers, other than allies of the Iron Dragons, but your help is greatly appreciated. If you can continue to hold that beast off until we deal with the approaching hounds we can then aid you in taking it down for good and holding this edge of the circle." ------------------------ Keen, Protection from Evil Move to W14, next to Micah
(OOC: Meant to ask a while back but keep forgetting. Due to some post timings and DM switch Zanderallen used a smite evil on the crystal dragon when Micah was able to identify it and know it wasn't evil. Micah should have been able to do so before Zander would have spent the ability and would have let him know. Would a most gracious DM allow said ability to have not been used? It becomes very relevant as the hell hounds approach.)

Micah gets into his “all business” mode – channeling positive healing and generally directing traffic.
Sid climbs to his feet, wondering how he managed to fell the T Rex, and stumbles back toward his arrows.
Bartomus pushes his flaming sphere forward.
Stohp retreats, and grabs up the a leg each of harpy 1 and harpy 3.
Stock sheathes his handaxe, now liberally coated in gore, into his belt (also liberally coated in gore). He pulls a potion from his potion case (liberally coated in gore), and raises it to his lips (yep, them too).
Dorbin directs the eagles to attack T Rex 2. They swoop in, and draw some blood, much to the delight of the two silver elves bobbing and weaving before it. “Oh, very nice!” they cheer.
Meanwhile, the conjurer sends a crossbow bolt in the general direction of the approaching hellhounds.
Zanderallen was hoping to move in on Micah’s left. But Stock never moved, so the enlarged dwarf is still there. The paladin steps to the cleric’s right instead.
---
TRex 2 snaps elf 2. Again, the lizard comes up empty.

The silver haired elves gives Micah and Zanderallen a thumbs up on the request to occupy the T Rex. "Okely dokely!"
Two more lightning bolts crash into the monster.

The hellhounds close. There are seven of them – six are the size of really large dogs, and the Nessian even bigger, an ox or good sized draft horse. They are 160’ and closing fast.

"That definitely proves I am NOT a drill sergeant," says Micah as the actions of the Shields fails to match the mental image of what he expected them to do.
"At least you are still nearby," he says to Stock as he reluctantly makes contact to cure the slimy barbarian. "Now get behind us since you can reach and we have better armor."
He then looks anxiously at the oncoming hellish pack.

Stick picks a chunk of something out of his beard as he glares at Micah, moving to the back. As he walks he pulls another javelin out of his pack...and then watches as Stohp puts herself on the wrong side of the holy warriors for the oncoming monsters.
He turns to face the charging dogs, hefts the javelin and prepares to rage throw.

Dorbin eyes the approaching dogs and looks over at the massive lizard. He figures the eagles can stay there one more round, but then head for the dogs. The eagles continue their dive-bombing of the monster.
Meanwhile, Dorbin steps forward and reaches out with his hand, squeezing a lump of butter in it. A magical patch of grease appears in front of the front lines that will hopefully slow the attacking dogs down a little.
Dorbin had moved up to W26 two rounds ago, so he should be able to move to V21 this round without a problem, then cast grease on X11-Y11-X12-Y12. Grease: Reflex DC 16; hopefully negates charging through that space, could possible end up with some hilarious results…

Shuffling slightly to allow room for his allies to move around him Zanderallen reviews their position and the approaching hounds. Willing the fire to die from his blade it still glows with a faint white light from the celestial spirit housed within it. "Well friends, we'll have some stories to tell after this is all over. How many people can say the fought alongside, well almost alongside, the Iron Dragons to save the world? Oh, Stohp you look a little unsteady. Let me aid you." Chanting softly he infuses Stohp with divine power restoring her slightly, before turning back to face the rapidly approaching hounds. ----------------------------------------- Cast Lesser Restoration on Stohp healing 1 ability damage

Micah reconsiders his drill sergeant style, and casts a healing spell on Stock.
Stohp drags over the harpies, and drops them in behind Micah and Zanderallen.
Which blocks Stock from where he wanted to go. The dwarf takes a step back, and readies a javelin.
Dorbin’s eagles continue to harass the TRex. Dorbin himself moves up and casts a grease spell.
Zanderallen casts Lesser Restoration on Stohp.
Sid moves up, and while he’s waiting, takes a shot at the TRex for funsies. The arrow strikes true. ---
TRex 2 snaps elf 2 again. And again finds no purchase.
The oncoming horde closes. As they reach 30', Stock launches a javelin at the big one, but misses.
Led by their leader the hellhounds close. They look extremely ferocious...right up to the point when the large Nessian hellhound slips on Dorbin's grease spell. Four legs splay out, and the creature slams into the ground with a sharp "Yip!"
The rest of the hounds circle around and approach the group on line.

The elves slam the TRex with some kind of air attack.

Dorbin stifles a laugh as the larger dog drops to the ground. He says to himself, “This is serious, people could die here.” Then he reaches in a pocket and tosses some sand towards the end of the line of approaching dogs.

The single word is barked out so loudly and in such a staccato fashion that it seems to hang in the air after it is complete. Stock smiles broadly as he watches the four legged beast slip and slide to a stop. Seeing the smaller hound approach behind it, Stock steps up and swings twice with all of his might.
His swing seems a little off however, as if the healing hasn't quite taken hold. ============== Status Effects: Rage (14 used out of 17), Enlarged - 46 rounds; Magic Circle against Evil - 59 min (in header).; Bless 5 ft. step forward to W14/X15 Power Attack vs H1 hit AC18, 31 damage Power Attack 2 hit AC16, 30 damage

Micah cheers Dorbin’s efforts, and takes a step forward to attack the prone Nessian hellhound. However, he does not connect.
Stohp tosses a tanglefoot bag at the Nessian. It strikes true, breaking open and covering poor pooch in a gooey mess. The mess slows the hound down, but does not seem to stick it to the ground as the taur hoped.
Bartomus sends his flaming sphere at the oil and goo covered Nessian. Somehow, it is able to avoid the fireball, and the grease doesn't catch fire either.
Dorbin casts a spell on one of the hellhounds, and then calls on his eagles to attack another. H4 collapses. The eagles peel off above the TRex, and then swoop down on the H6, scratching furiously.
Stock steps forward, and swings at H1. The impact crushes the hound’s skull like a grape.
Zanderallen attacks H2, hitting once.
Sid shoots at the Nessian. Ironically, the fact that Dorbin knocked him down makes him harder to hit with ranged attacks. The archer’s arrows both miss.
---
The elf guys draw scimitars, step into the TRex, and attack. Both miss.
---
TRex keeps after elf 2. This time he gets the right image, and blood sprays as its teeth slam into the elf. The dinosaur lets go, and the elves keep fighting.
The Nessian stays down. With a roar, it opens its mouth, shooting a 30' cone of flame into everything before it. Micah, Stohp, Zanderallen, Stock, and Sid take 23 hp damage. Reflex Save vs DC 21 halves.
H5 follows suit, breathing out a smaller cone that catches Micah and Stock. Micah and Stock take 6 hp damage. Reflex Save vs DC 14 halves.
H1 attacks Stock. It bites the dwarf, who can also feel flames from the beast licking his wound. Stock takes 4 hp damage, plus another 4 hp fire damage[/b]
H2 attacks Zanderallen, missing. H3 also attacks Zanderallen, also missing.
H6 snaps at an eagle. It catches the bird perfectly, snapping its head off with a quick twist. Dorbin - one eagle dead
-------------
The battle rages across the plain, now more frantic then before. The colossus is sending wave after wave out from itself in a desperate bid for freedom, while the heroes of the Wold fight just as desperately to hold the circle.
Its very hard to shake the feeling that something else is coming......

Bartomus let the flaming sphere hover over the Niessan Hellhound as he walked forward to join the melee. The hounds were out of his reach and the sphere was about to run out. "I'll need to think of something else here," he said to himself as he moved forward. Then he watched the downed hound spew forth flame that engulfed some of the Shields. ---- Flaming Sphere, last round 12 damage; reflex save against 15, spell resistant; move to S23

Dorbin’s mouth drops open yet again when he sees all the flames engulf the Silver Shields. Is this the end? Is there where the last stand will be made and the stories will be told of when the Silver Shields failed the Wold? He doesn’t have anything to help protect again fire for anyone, that’s not what he does. He sees the hell hounds attacking, and doesn’t have a lot of options. He has really used up a lot of spell power today, more than he ever has before. He figures since the first sleep spell worked, he can at least try that again to perhaps slow down another hell hound. He touches the pearl in his pocket and throws another bit of sand while the eagles continue their barrage.

Stohp takes a facefull of fire (13 Reflex) and falls back, batting at her fur singed fur (5 foot step back to exit it's reach). Rallying, she throws another tanglefoot at the farthest back Hellhoud (H5, nat 1) but misses wildly.

Zanderallen flinches as he is unable to raise his shield in time and takes the full force of the hellhounds fire breath. Torn between guarding the flank and taking down the largest of the hounds the fire breath sets his mind. He didn't know how often it could release some terror but it had to be put down first. Maneuvering through to the open ground in front of it he raises his sword. Calling in the last of his reserves smites the beast hoping something worse isn't coming next. ------------------------------------------- Keen, Protection From Evil Reflex 16(d20+7+2(PfE)) fails 23 damage taken Smite Evil of Nessian Hound (+3 to hit and AC. +6 on damage and ignore DR) (2/2 used) First Attack 38(d20+18, 36 to confirm crit) 43 damage Second Attack 18(d20+13) 16 damage

Unconsciously, Stock reaches up and checks his beard. Satisfied that it is mostly intact, he barks a loud laugh and returns to dealing pain to the hounds.

Bartomus let the flaming sphere hover over the Niessan Hellhound as he walks forward to join the melee. Again, the hound avoids it.
Dorbin casts another sleep spell, this time on H3. The hound shakes its head profusely, but does not succumb to the spell. The eagles continue diving on H6, doing a lot of damage.
Stohp steps back away from the fire breathing pooch, and throws a tanglefoot bag that misses its mark.
Zanderallen steps into the Nessian. Wielding his sword aloft, he strikes with all the righteous power he can muster. Thanks to the entangling goo, both blows strike true, and the hound squeals in pain. But, while hurt, it is still active.
Sid ‘s reflexes fail when he needs them most, and the elf slips into unconsciousness.
Micah, also hit by the fire, channels healing energy to Micah, Stohp, Sid, Stock, and Zanderallen.
Stock checks to make sure his beard is intact, and is happy to feel it is still there. The dwarf takes a couple swings at the Nessian, but cannot connect. Typo on my part. H5 did the breathing. H1 is quite dead
---
The elf guys continue to attack the TRex, Blades and blood fly, as the elves continue their assault.
---
The Nessian struggles to its feet, drawing AoO from Micah, Zanderallen, and Stock. The huge hound snaps at Zanderallen. It's teeth clamp onto the paladin, and fire licks at his exposed flesh. Zanderallen takes 16 hp damage plus another 5 hp fire damage.
H2 attacks Zanderallen, missing. H3 takes a step, and breathes a cone fire at the front line. Micah, Zanderallen, and Stock take 11 hp damage. Reflex DC 14 halves.
TRex attacks elf 2. The elf nimbly evades the jaws.
Suddenly, two tall humanoid figures pop into existence, and immediately slash at the other elf with a long blade like arm. They manage to pop two of the elf's mirror images, but otherwise do no harm.
Lanky and treelike, these humaniods’ long arms reach all the way to the ground. One arm ends in a wicked spike, and the other in a powerful tendril covered in bony hooks. Its face is plain with no eyes, mouth, or nose.

Dorbin’s eagles continue their assault on the hellhounds. Dorbin spots the tall men appear and decides that he’s not exactly in a safe place. He casts a spell and takes off into the air, moving away from the tall men.
Dorbin casts fly and moves to ensure he is out of the reach of the tall men.

Dorbin’s eagles put down H6. He then flies away from the tall men. OOC – please give me something to work with. Elevation? Distance? Direction?
The Nessian tries to stand. Bad idea. Stock, Micah, and especially Zanderallen slaughter it during the attempt. Zanderallen does not take the damage from the previous round.
Noting that the Nessian isn’t getting up again, Sid plunks H3 with an arrow.
Stohp moves directly south toward the newcomers. Unfortunately, this path is far too close to the massive TRex to go unnoticed.
With a quick movement, the dinosaur leans over the elf attacking it and rips her in half. Stohp drew an AoO, and takes 38 hp damage, putting her at -16.

Stock is almost giggling as the large hound collapses. "Sit boy! HAHA!"
He turns to face two of the remaining hounds and yells, "No. More. Fire!", and begins pummeling them with his flail.
He turns his head to scan the remaining foes in time to see Stohp falling, clearly heavily wounded, and Stock begins to feel his rage faltering. ============== Status Effects: Rage (17 used out of 17), Enlarged - 43 rounds; Magic Circle against Evil - 59 min (in header).; Bless Forgot to roll a reflex save last turn: 5; took 11 damage Power Attack1 against H3 hits AC18; 26 damage Power Attack 2 against H3 or H2 hits AC25; 22 damage

After the large hound fall, Micah steps forward to engage the smaller ones.
When he sees Stohp rush forward, he tries to call out a warning, but the Trex attacks the heedless taur before he can find his voice. Micah looks on in horror as her destroyed body collapses on the grass.
Finally finding it, he shouts out, enraged, "WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP DOING THAT! You keep running forward like you are invulnerable! I have news for you, you bullheaded daredevil. YOU ARE NOT! " His angry words are belied by the tears running down both checks.
"I can't heal that." he chokes out, ending his outburst.

Stock exults in the Nessian’s death. Keeping his flail falling, he drops H3, and H2 as well. But, the indomitable dwarf is beginning to flag. And Stohp’s death doesn’t help his mood much.
Sid cries out that Stohp is down, and sends an arrow flying at the TRex. It does a bit of damage.
Dorbin’s eagles disappear. The conjurer climbs in elevation another 15’, while casting another summoning spell.
Micah takes a step toward Stohp, but can tell there is nothing that can be done for her. The emotionally spent cleric shouts out his frustrations.
Zanderallen skewers H5. It dies on his sword.

The elf guy gamely attacks the TRex, again drawing blood. “I don’t know how much longer I can hold them,” he calls out.

The TRex attacks the elf guy. The mirror images foil its attack.
Each of the tall men take a step, disappear into thin air, and immediately reappear next to Bartomus. Both slash the taur with their blade like arms. Blood spews, and Bartomus collapses. Bartomus takes 24 hp damage. I've got him at -8, and unconscious.

Around the battlefield, similar stories are etched in blood on the field. Pushed to their breaking point, heroes are falling. Nearly a half mile away, giant red letters spell out "HELP" over one of the groups. Another is being battered by a hail of arrows launched by giants.
And yet, the colossus is shrinking, and shrinking still. The call goes out, and it taken up. Elf guy joins in, "HOLD THE CIRCLE!"

The pain and exhaustion hits Stock like a wall and nearly drops him in his place. "Micah...I need some healing if you have anymore...Oh Bart..." He says that as he sees the two strange humanoids fell the Taur.

Dorbin reaches deep and with the help of the pearl of power, manages to summon a small air elemental. This is really the last of his magical abilities, so he hopes that it will be enough – he knows the Silver Shields can’t hold out much longer. He directs the air elemental to take out the sleeping dog before it wakes up and joins in.
Dorbin spots the tall men getting closer. He wildly throws and acid dart in their general direction, but then turns and flies further away from them, but towards the sar creature.

Overcome by the loss of another friend, Micah momentarily falters. The words "hold the circle" bring him back. His soot covered, tear streaked face hardens to an expression of shear resolve. He resolutely steps over one of the downed hounds to get in range of the recently felled taur. Betting that Bart is only unconscious and responding to Stock's plea, Micah channels Domi's healing power. Then digging deep, he shouts out a curse at one of the tall creatures, attempting to strike it blind.

The Silver Shields turn to face the Tall Men and TRex, determined to fight on.
And then, they are gone. With a silent cry, all three simply ... implode, leaving nothing but dust behind.
Across the battlefield you can see that all Sarr creatures are collapsing to the ground and falling from the sky and everything stops. Every minion of the Sarr, every enemy infected by or made out of bloodgrass immediately ceases to function as the corruption withers to dust and they become rooted in place as blades of Sarr grasses, only slightly tinged with red. Any Sarr-aligned creature suffering from the bloodgrass mutation immediately have their affliction cured and they throw down their weapons in surrender. It would appear that the battle is over.
Finally, there is a huge writhing as three final gigantic creatures emerge from Sar. They are so large -- a hundred or two hundred feet high -- that in emerging they rip the Sarr asunder! These three figures seem familiar to those who encountered images when you broke the crstals 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. One on stilts transforms into the mother of all Sarg moths. One with wings transforms into a series of flickering bestial shapes.
They speak together in unison. Each of the Powers says a different word when there is a choice in brackets.
“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.”
“WE HAVE [CONCEDED/AGREED/VOWED] THAT WE MUST NOT WAR AMONG OURSELVES, FOR THAT WOULD DESTROY OUR HOME FOREVER.”

Zanderallen blinks as the remaining creatures wink out of existence. As the three huge beings emerge he flinches from their awesome might. Listening in awe as they speak, grateful beyond thought that they have made peace. As their words fade he surveys the dreadful carnage around them. With a jolt his eyes fall on the still body of Stohp. A strangled cry echoes from his lips as he runs over to the minotaur, dropping his sword and shield as he goes. Kneeling beside her he puts his hands on the dreadful bite and wills the healing energy into them. But no warm glow covers his hands for he is spent, and even if he did still have energy to call it would be no good. Still kneeling beside his fallen comrade he weeps, his whole body shuddering with the sobs.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:36/40 CMD:15] Thursday June 28th, 2018 11:11:20 AM
Dorbin freezes and looks around, still flying. He has a view of the entire battlefield and the appearance of the massive creatures in the middle is not important to him as he looks down and over the carnage around him. He sees Zanderallen drop to his knees and he is silent and remains still in the air. The air elemental flies up to him and hovers with him.

A little wilded eye Sid gasps for breathe as the Powers talk, his adrinaline spiked nerves catching up to his surroundings. He walks over to group around Stoph and puts a hand on Zanderallen's shoulder as he looks at the once lively taur on the ground as the sounds of sobbing are lifted away by then wind.

With the sudden absence of all immediate threats, Micah becomes numb.
Still maintaining his grasp on mace and shield, he drops his arms limply to his sides. Breathes come in deep gasps as the adrenalin coursing through his system ebbs. A bone deep tiredness threatens to bring him to his knees.
When he sees Zanderallen at Stohp's side, he has to look away. At some level he is aware of the wondrous event unfolding before him, but at this moment he has no capacity to react.

Stohp barely even registers the Sar's death. She's to busy staring at her distance corpse and her comrades crying over it. It's a very weird experience.
DM MikeK - messenger of the gods Thursday June 28th, 2018 9:53:48 PM
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.
But, as impressive as a circle of gods may be, the emotion of Stohp's death is too much to ignore. The Shields slowly circle their fallen companion.
"Oh hello!" You jump in alarm as you are greeted by a small fellow who appears in the middle of your group! 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!
Know Planes or Religion DC14: Highlight to display spoiler: { You deduce that this is Gimp, messenger of Gargul! }
"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 the unconscious Bartomus. "What's this? Slacking off? Lying down on the job? We can't have that!" He touches Bartomus with a thin, twisted finger, and the taur is fully healed.
Then, he turns, tilts his head, and regards the two halves of Stohp. "You too. I mean, look at you! You're just falling apart on me!" Again, he touches Stohp... and raises her from the dead! Stohp feels a tug, and is yanked back down to her body, where she awakens fully healed.
"Oh, and you," he declares to the elf guy, "many thanks, nice seein ya here, but we're done now. You can go." With a dismissive wave of the short guy's hand, elf guy disappears.
There is some kind of sound from the convocation of gods, and the he looks back at them guiltily. Turning back to you, he murmurs, "right, speech stuff."
The short guy glances down at his hands, assumes a regal bearing, 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.
"Formalities over. You got questions, ask 'em. You wanna kvetch, I'm all ears. And if we're done, then it's time to send you home."
If you are looking toward the center of the circle, you see the three new Powers merging with the mist and joining the gods.

Darkness - all darkness. Yet there was a voice, sounds, like that distant rumble of storm as it passed. The peace of the darkness was a draw. In the far off a shimmering green light. A faint music reached out to him from the darkness and he felt himself drawn to it and the light.
Then something red flashed across everything. The music ended with a sharp note, like someone had pulled the instrument away from the musician mid movement. He found himself watching the redness grow in intensity. He shifted direction and followed the red. Then there was a tingle that grew in tandem with red light that soon was so bright as it came right in front him. "WE CANT HAVE THAT."
He slowly opened his eyes. He looked about and there was a short, bright red devil like thing. He took a second and listened to the thing talk about gods being grateful. As he listened, he felt and it seemed like he felt good. He sat up and listened to the talking red voice.
"I can say thank you, and yea, thank you.' He pulled his legs up and wrapped his arms around his knees. He took in everything about him. They had been hit hard and while he felt good, the others were breathing heavy and a few were standing about Stohp with looks of bewilderment and shock on their faces. In the far off, there was a mist with new symbols rising to join others and one he knew. One he recognized and in his mind he gave a simple note of thanks to Lord of the Fey, Eberyon.
"Do they have names? " He nodded towards the center and looked back at the avatar among them.

Dorbin openly gasps when Gimp appears and quickly raises the dead without any effort. Still flying, he assumes the position of sitting in the air and grabs his leather-bound book once again. He is looking around the battlefield, looking at the new gods, looking at Gimp, looking at the healed and writing furiously.

"By the bearded halls of my ancestors...I've never...Who are you? What is happening? And who were those elf guys?"

Zanderallen barely even notices as the creature moves among them. He has no idea what it is and some part of him thinks he should not have dropped his sword. But as it speaks and heals Bart his worry disappears. The look in his eyes is hopeful as it moves toward Stohp. As her body knits itself back together and she draws breath again he looks at the creature, "Good fellow, you have no idea how thankful we are to you. How much of the world has changed?" --------- Know(Reg) 7

Sid has had enough. He puts his bow in his efficient quiver and just slumps to the ground. A wail that is part anguished sob, adrenaline, and the physical pain escapes him and he curls up a moment, sitting with his head in his raised knees with one hand up warding anyone off. Like a summer storm it is over, with just the light muttering of dock language until he sighs, deflated. "Ye gods that was close."
He wipes the tears from his face, sniffs and sighs gustily, and crosses his legs. "Alright Mr. Man, are you buying the drinks as well because I think I need one. How long have we been gone? I've read stories of time being wonky when you travel planes."

Micah reluctantly raises his mace and shield at the sound of the new arrival. His eyes grow wide as he realizes who is speaking to them. Self consciously he belts his mace and stows his shield.
When Gimp heals Bart, his smiles sadly. When Gimp raises Stohp, he abandons all reserve. Rushing to to her side, he grasps her in a hug of relief. After a few moments, he releases her and returns to his feet, saying quietly, "Welcome, back."

Stohp finds the whole being dead and then not thing rather bewildering. She just sort of sits there staring vaguely as Gimp backs away and Micah hugs her. When he finally lets go she manages to go, "Uh... thanks?"
DM MikeK - Gimp the Imp Saturday June 30th, 2018 3:09:23 PM
The Shields regard the strange looking messenger with varying degrees of awe as he casually brings back Stohp from the Lands of Rest. A couple of you even recognize him.
Questions abound, not the least of which is Sid's about buying the drinks.
"Oooo, GOOD question!" the creature responds. He waves a hand, and a mug appears before each of you, and himself as well. He grabs his, raises it toward the group, shouts "Here's mud in your eye!" and guzzles down the whole thing. The liquid is refreshingly cold, and tastes perfect, exactly what each hero deems most delicious. Oh, also, everyone is completely healed of all wounds, poisons, and any other deleterious effects.
Gimp gets down to answering the rest of the questions.
To Bart - "Names? Well, yeah. Alemi, Domi, Wardd, Flower, Gargul, Maab, Eberyon, etc, etc, etc. I'm sure you've heard of them. Oh, you mean the new three? Uh, I don't think so. Just got born an all. Well, I mean, they probably got names. But no ones told me yet."
To Stock - "I am Gimp, thanks for asking. I'm pretty much Gargul's right arm, herald, guy Friday, confidant, errand boy, yada, yada, yada. What's happening is you won, the Wold is saved, the Sargrass is back in its rightful place, and that trio of powers is gonna be handling it from here. The elf guys are extraplanar creatures called Bralani Azata. Those crazy Iron Dragons summoned a half dozen in to help with the battle. Some called it cheating, but hey, all's fair, right?"
To Zanderallen - "Your Welcome. Well, the whole Wold has changed some. You can't be having tidal waves and earthquakes and meteor showers without stuff changing as a result. For you guys, The Crying Woods is a lot more powerful, but in a lot smaller area, maybe a sixth of its previous size. So you folks are heading back to some seriously interesting possibilities!
To Sid - "Oh, bout a week. Everyone you left is still there. The Float is fine. The street is fine. The girl is fine. You're fine. I'm fine. It's all fine."
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Saturday June 30th, 2018 7:44:56 PM
Bartomus reaches out and grabs the mug. He grinned when he realized it was cold and took a sip, followed by a deep gulp. "Delicious, just delicious."
He nodded as Gimp listed off the deities of the Wold then cocked his head to the side and looked back at the center of the circle. The one had invoked the images similar to his own lord Eberyon, and that intrigued Bartomus as to if there might be a connection. As he continued to drink, there was a cool feeling that flowed through him. He felt good, really good. He finished off the drink as he listened.
"Oh, oh, Sid, what girl is that?" Bartomus asked with a grin. Then he thought for a second, "oh you meant Stohp, Glad we taurs are still here!"

Sid looks relieved and drinks from his mug. Wanting a beer he tastes something thick and malty sweet with a nice mild hopy flavour(think of a Belgian Strong Gold) and sighs." A small smile plays upon his face as Bartomus speaks. He looks at him incredulously and says, "Elly Bart, we own the Arrow together, been together for about forty years, was with all of us for a week or so in the HQ while the Wold started ending? I mean, why do you think I spend most nights away from HQ?" Sid turns to Stoph, "Not that I'm not happy that you are back together again. To Stoph the heart of the Shields, may we get you better armor or something!" Sid downs his drink and says to Gimp, "Thanks."

Stock begins to feel more himself. When the mug appears in his hand, he furrows his brow assuming it to be beer. He is therefore surprised to see steam rising from it. He smells it and his mind takes him back home, watching his mother make a sludgy tea of roots and subterranean mushrooms. It doesn't look like much but it tastes wonderful and really sets a dwarf up.
He takes a sighs and smiles. "Well lads, I'm ok if we get a week off or so before the next time we have to save the Wold."

Dorbin is surprised when the floating mug appears next to him while he is still flying. He turns his nose up at it at first, but when he takes a second look at it, he shrugs and grabs the mug. He was expecting a frothy mug of dark, horrible beer, so is quite surprised when he looks and smells it and finds it is a nice, cooling mug of cold tea. He smiles and takes a drink, then quickly gets back to writing.

Micah is a little abashed at his emotional outburst and is quite pleased to have a drink in his hand as a distraction. Taking a sniff, he is surprised to at the pleasant smell of fermented sassafras roots. After seeing the obvious satisfaction of the other Shields, he takes a deep draught. As the carbonation tickles his mouth and throat, he cannot resist smacking his lips in satisfaction. A bit of foam still on his lips, he raises his mug to Gimp in silent salute.

Taking the mug, Zanderallen remembers how parched he is after their fight. Taking a deep gulp of his cold cider he sighs appreciatively. "I'll drink to that Stock. But wow, we've been gone a week here. I hope Cutter's village is doing alright. And everyone back at the Fence. I hope they didn't think we'd been killed, which most of us haven't. And not even death seems to have stopped Stohp, at least with your help, friend Gimp. I guess we'll have to wait and see what adventures come our way next, I sure there is bound to be need of us soon."
DM MikeK - End Matters Monday July 2nd, 2018 9:03:43 PM
Gimp looks at Zanderallen, and takes on a deeply hurt expression.
"I'm sorry, but did a good looking fellow who bears a striking resemblance to myself, and who served you the best cup of cider you've ever had, not just say, like, three seconds ago, that everything is fine?"
The creature wags a finger in front of the paladin. "You are a Worrywart, that's what you are."
"Cutter is fine. And the Fence is home to the Wold famous Giggling Ghost, which in turn are home to those Wold famous tapestries. And THEY, lady and gentlemen, have presented any and all with a front row seat to the ferocious battle you have ever so recently found yourselves in. So, yeah, they know you're alive. And they know you helped saved the Wold. Oh, and so does everyone who felt like casting a divination spell in the last hour or so.
In short, you folks are hometown heroes. Enjoy."
Gimp snaps a finger, and you find yourselves in that weird space between portals. In front of you is Mahyawu, the manfri that started this all. "With our thanks," he says as he presents you with a 6' by 9" by 1" deep box woven from some kind of grass.
The mist fades, and now you find yourselves on the ground floor of your HQ. You are home.
Inside the box are seven rings, sized to match each of your fingers. The rings are platinum, with the band fashioned to resemble a rapke - from tail around to an open mouth that forms the setting of a silver pearl, cut into the shape of a shield, as if it was blocking the bite of the animal. The ring itself is worth 500 gp, and suffices as the material component for the Shield Other spell. It is also a Ring of Protection +2. Therefore, the total value of the ring is 8500 gp.

The transition from one place to another to home had part of Bartomus' mind spinning. When it settled as the box was opened and the beautifully wrought platinum rings came to light, Bartomus focused on the beauty of the rings. Each was striking in its simplistic details. He was in awe of the carving of the pearl and looked at the others. "An amazing gift, and suddenly we are here at home. A feast is in order I would say, right? Time to eat and drink, tell tales and rest, right?"

Stock slips his old ring off his finger, tosses it in the air over his head and catches it behind his back. He then deposits it in the small pouch he keeps on his belt.
He sniffs. "Ugh. You'd think if they were going to heal us they would also clean us off. I still smell like the inside of that lizard...At least I don't taste it any more...I'm going to clean up. After that I'll either come down and join the festivities or pass out in my bed."
In his mind, he is already passed out in his bed.

Dorbin is clearly thrilled to have returned to the HQ. He looks around and blurts out, "I have got to go to the library. I have to share with them all I've seen and learned." He pauses for just a moment to see if anyone will stop him, but if not, he takes off at a run out the door. His cat looks around and plops down in the middle of the room and starts taking a bath.

Slightly abashed by Gimp's words, any reply he might have given is lost as they quickly jump through portals and receive their gift. Finding himself back at home he slips on the ring and finds a chair to sit down in. "As good as passing out in bed sounds I have a feeling as soon as people find our we're back they're going to want to throw a celebration. Before that happens I need to get out of this armor and have a bath. Micah let's get out of our plate." With help he removes his plate armor and goes in search of the bath to clean up.

When it is his turn he solemnly takes his ring and bows and says, "Thank you."
As they appear at HQ he looks up and around and blinks and calls out, "Elly?"

Elly comes running to Sid about thirty seconds after the group arrives, and pretty much won't let him out of her sight.
Micah, Stock, and Zanderallen figure some cleaning up is in order, and go wash up.
Dorbin heads for the library.
Bartomus looks for a feast.
The taurs search is not long in coming, as within the hour, Happy himself is banging on the door. "Ho there Silver Shields! I've kept the crowds back long enough, and its time for you to present yourselves at the Giggling Ghost for a party that will be spoken of for generations!"

While others crashed and talked of baths, Bartomus sniffed and agreed that he needed one. Badly. He worked his way to the bath and made himself a bit more presentable. When he emerged, he felt better. He found his way back to his room and to the clean clothes he had available. He tossed the torn, tattered and soiled shirt to the floor near the door so it could be burned, and pulled out the blue and green silk woven shirt. It was clean, he was clean, and he felt better.
He looked at the ring on his finger, each of them having taken one that was made for them. They had survived it all, well with the help of Gimp they had survived. He understood his fellow Shields wanting to rest. But, he wanted food, drink, some laughter, and celebrating. He headed back down to the common room and on the way disposed of the battle worn shirt. He was restless and when there was a knock on the door, he jumped to it and was delighted in the news Happy was sharing. "We have a party at the Ghost! We got invited to a party at the Ghost!"
Bartomus had a wide, beaming grin.
Micah (John) HP: 25/52 AC: 23/11/23 (25/13/25 vs evil) CMD:17 (19 vs Evil) Tuesday July 3rd, 2018 11:48:03 PM
Micah would normally be embarrassed by such an elegant give, but the artistry and the functionality of it are irresistible. He spends some time appreciating its elegance.
Micah, expecting a reception committee will inevitably arrive soon, quickly washes up and changes into a simple tunic. Though weary, he makes sure his plate mail is in order and properly stowed before coming downstairs.
When he hears Happy's voice, he resigns himself to not having a peaceful, quiet evening. Knowing that this celebration is as much for the celebrants as for themselves as likely guests of honor, he cheerfully heads toward the Ghost.

Stohp (Mitch) HP: 22/45hp AC: 19/13/15 (Poisoned: 16/10/15) CMB: +9 (Poisoned, 6) (11 w/flail on disarm/trip) CMD: 19 +2 vs grapple, disarm) Wednesday July 4th, 2018 10:54:28 AM
After getting her bearing Stohp goes strait to bed. She doesn't even bother to clean up beyond stripping her filthy clothes on for some sleep wear. Then someone comes to wake her up all excited about a party. She has to resist the urge to punch them in the face. After a few moments searching through her extensive wardrobe she snarls, throws back on her dirty, blood-streaked clothes, and joins the rest of the group leaning on a wall and fuming. Let the party-goers see her as she is right after the battle, maybe it'll make someone decide she can go back to bed.
Bed sounds nice.... she dozes off leaning against the wall and ever so slowly starts to slide sideways.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 67/67 AC: 23 T: 11 FF: 22 CMD: 20 Wednesday July 4th, 2018 11:34:16 AM
Having bathed cleaned his armor and weapons and changed into clean hose and tunic of simple brown emblazoned with Domi's crest, Zanderallen is just coming downstairs when Happy knocks on the door. He opens it and greets the tuar warmly having been expecting him. "Happy! Oh it's so good to see you. Come on everyone, it's time to celebrate. Then we can all sleep for a week."

Sid lifts Elly and spins her around and holds her close. He kisses her for a long time and then pulls her to the far side of the HQ 1st floor. He pulls of the ring on his right finger and holds it in front of her. In Elven he says, "I know this is more of a human thing, but this ring has helped me come home safely to you time and again. I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?"
((Sorry if this is tortured but no one ever talks about Elven mating rituals and this is the personal/embarrassing type of thing I do in private in real life.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:40/40 CMD:15] Wednesday July 4th, 2018 12:34:55 PM
As Dorbin heads out the door, he nearly runs into Happy mentioning the party at the Ghost. Dorbin pauses, then says, "I've got to at least stop by the library! I'll... I'll see everyone over at the Ghost later!" With that he dashes off to the library to share all that he's learned from and about the Sargrass and the Sar.

Stock finishes cleaning himself off and then decides, ”I guess I have one party in me. We do have reason to celebrate after all.”
