From the spell description of Confusion.
Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes. Note that a confused character will not make attacks of opportunity against any creature that it is not already devoted to attacking (either because of its most recent action or because it has just been attacked).
I KNOW the kitty hit a bunch of us after it confused us. Look back and see if you are one of those people. If you are, you shouldn't be rolling, you should be all about Murder Kitty dying.
Of course if Michael lands that stab, Sigvar needs to, um, kill him.
How long is the poison's effect on us? 1 round per level is the spell duration so is it 1 round per HD of the Kitty?
Does Kitty need to save vs Babble Dragon's babbling?

Whiffling wind
The description says that the wind created by the creature s Severe. Severe winds impose a -4 to fly checks. There is normally no check to fly unless you do something odd like dive, or turn sharply etc. Isn't a DC 15 check a bit high for something that is normally no check? I ask because Sigvar will need to burn a hero point every time that he flies at this beastie, you know cuz armor and size and stuff.

The confusion takes over the Agents of the Fist! Bosk calls out to the Agents and cast a healing spell while the giant cat takes him in her mouth, the massive teeth digging into his body. Michael attacks Sigvar as Sigvar runs at the beast. Fortunately, he does not reach the beast and its dangerous quills yet. Nikolai and Anna hit themselves in the massive confusion. The battle seems to be nearly lost as the cat and the dragon join forces to finish off the Agents of the Fist.

There is a sudden pause as a beat flows out from the center of the grasslands. You feel a light shock wave burst across the lands and through you. The two creatures stop and look back and you see the grasses waving. Another pulse beats out and the dragon and the murder kitty fall to the ground and curl up. Another pulse of energy and power and the two of them are starting to turn back into the grasses from whence they came! The confusion from the quills and the dragon quickly vanishes and you can see that across the battlefield all Sarr creatures are collapsing to the ground and falling from the sky and everything stops. 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 feet high -- that in emerging they rip the Sarr asunder! They are the mysterious figures, here born as the new powers of the Sargrass Plains.

The one with the oak leaf circlet transforms into a gigantic treant. The one on stilts transforms into the mother of all Sarg moths. The one with wings transforms into a series of flickering beastial 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! WE THANK YOU, HEROES OF THE WOLD, AGENTS OF THE FIST, FOR YOUR PART IN BRINGING THE PLAINS BACK TO THE WOLD!”

“WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PART IN [ENDING/TAMING/CURING] THE THREAT OF THE BLOODGRASS.”

“WE HAVE AGREED THAT WE MUST NOT WAR AMONG OURSELVES, FOR THAT WOULD DESTROY OUR HOME FOREVER.”

“AND SO NOW WE RETURN YOU TO YOUR HOMES, WITH ALL OUR THANKS!”

OOC:
Each PC receives 19,200 xp for the bandersnatch.

P.S. Yes, you really did defeat the confounding Bandersnatch. It was fleeing, near death, but when one character at a time went after it, it took shots at the easy targets because that’s what it really likes to do! Although it may have gotten ugly when the confusion wore off because it likely would have kept tracking you in this environment…still, you did work together enough to drive it away, and that’s a defeat in my book!

Nikolai comes out of his confusion feeling much better with the healing and not sure exactly what has happened. The new Three-In-One entities don't help explain exactly what happened but it seems they did away with that large grass creature that was creating all those other grass creatures, and for that he is thankful.

He chuckles at Pompous' comment and adds his own, "Would'a been more fun if I wasn't so confused about the whole thing. LIke, does a drunk know how much fun he's having while totally drunk? Good topic for a scientific research project."

He checks with his team mates to make sure everyone is all right and thanks Bosk for his help.
After that, he waits for some one to fill in the gaps as to what went on.

As the healing waves hit Michael he feels the power of the Sar course through him in three pulses. his mind clears and in that clarity, he remembers that he attacked his comrade. Sigvar! by the god's man, I didn't mean to hit you! I thought that you were a willowisp when the madness took me. just about that time the new sargrass gods start talking and he shuts up to pay attention. well...I'll be dipped in buttermilk...that's it? wasn't there supposed to be a wold shattering kaboom? or loot? wheres the loot?

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.

"Kaboom!" 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!

Know Planes or Religion DC14: Highlight to display spoiler: { You deduce that this is Gimp, messenger of Gargul! }

Know Planes or Religion DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: { Is it possible that this being has recently been walking in mud made of dirt mixed with Woldsblood? }

"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 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."

If you have sharp eyes, then make a Perception check vs DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: {You note that this speech was actually jotted down on the fellow's palms.}

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

"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.

If you look at the other groups, make a Perception check vs DC24: Highlight to display spoiler: {You see the same small fellow, or his identical siblings, talking with other groups of heroes too!}

The gratitude of the gods.

Pru is speechless. Literally speechless. The gods have not only noticed her--her! Prudence Gundle!--but they are grateful. And Gimp, the messenger of Lord Gargul himself, has come to deliver that message!

"Ulp," she manages. She takes a couple of deep breaths. "No, sir," she squeaks. "No questions."

Akir, finally able to stop babbling like a nincompoop, dismisses his flight spell and falls to his feet. He sheathes his scythe and falls on his knees, to prostrate himself before Gimp the Imp, who serves Lord Gargul, who had gifted Akir some of his powers.

"All men must die, sometime, Master Gimp. I am lucky today was not my day. I shall continue to serve at our Masters behest."

To the new visitor Sigvar bows. " Lord Gimp. My patron, your friend, has seen us through another battle. He has my thanks. How did the other heroes fair? I see you conversing with them all right now."
"Nice trick by the way."

questions?...no not really, I do have a request though. Since the Mailed Fist just helped save the world, would it be possible to get the Danegeld to Aisiidur and the sanctions imposed upon us lifted? Michael looks the imp dead in the eye. not being aggressive, but also not being obsequious, mainly letting the freshly healed skin and the fact that he is literally drenched in his own blood speak for him.

"I don't think that's for the gods to dictate Michael, if we want to regain the trust of the people who hire us, we need to earn it back ourselves."

The Sargrass 
Friday June 29th, 2018 1:06:55 PM

The Agents are weary and worn. Many are still injured and there is blood and remains all over the battlefield. Across the plains you can see other groups in similar situations. The heroes of the Wold are just exhausted.

Sigvar asks about the rest of the Wold. Gimp replies, “Eh. We’ve really just been focused here, so the rest of the Wold should be fine. All that spreading bloodgrass should be gone, so yeah.”

Michael asks about sanctions. The small imp replies, “The what, now? That sounds like something that’s, well, not something I care about very much. I can check with the big guy, but if I don’t care, he probably won’t, either.”

He looks around for another moment, then there is an audible “pop” as he suddenly disappears from sight. The entire plains area starts to get a little blurry and it feels like you are moving once again. You find yourselves pulled again through time and space. When you look up, you can see the old manfri from so long ago in front of you. While you are flying through time and space, he reaches out to each of you, one at a time, and hands you a small rock. The rock is rough around the edges, and each rock is unique. It is layered with bits of white, red, orange, and green chips. Turning it over, it feels lighter than a rock of that size should appear. You can see lines of red flowing through the rock, similar to the flowing grasses of the Sargrass, and they almost appear to be moving. When you hold it up, you swear you can almost see the great battle on the plains on the Sargrass through the edges of the rock. You like holding the rock, it feels good to have the rock. The manfri smiles and bows at each of you in turn, then vanishes into the air.

OOC:
Each of the rocks is actually a luckstone.

You weren't there Akir, Ffloy himself dictated we pay the Danegeld, and endure the sanctions. I personally thought that saving their keisters from a rogue element was payment enough. but noooo...those pusillanimous, greedy, heartseeded, idiots from Aisildur couldn't be thankful for the help they got, they had to have more! If it weren't' for the Divine edict of Ffoy, Bloodblade would have told those bureaucrats to go pound sand, let them try and collect a penalty in perpetuity from the most powerful mercenary force in the Wold!.

Michael heaves a sigh and quiets down. There are few things that get him really excised, but that happens to be the big one. As they fly through the nether realms he tries to find his centre, when the old Manfri shows up he accepts the stone with a bow...looks odd in space, but he does it. The novelty of the stone makes him forget, for the moment, the poor treatment of the fist so long ago. it's still there though and one day he will make it right.

The group finds themselves traveling through time and space when very suddenly they realize they are standing on solid ground. Looking around it takes just a moment before you realize that you are back in the Wold, if you indeed ever left it. In fact, the road you are on is the main east-west road that leads to the citadel of the Agents of the Fist and if you know your landmarks, the citadel is just a short distance to the east, no more than half an hour by foot!

Michael knows where they are. the landscape, the sky, the birdsong, heck even the smell in the air. they are close to home. Michael takes the lead, scouting ahead for potential trouble, even as they near the Citadel. It would suck to go through so much, fight such grand battles and save the world, only to be put out of commission by a large Gnoll raiding party, or that green dragon decides to attack...the world is a dangerous place, less dangerous now thanks to the efforts of the Mailed Fist, but still it pays dividends to be alert. As they approach the gates Michael speaks to Pru.

Hey Pru, could you do some of that voodoo that you do so well and clean me up a bit. I'd hate to go before the commander looking like I just slaughtering a pig. .

The Agents head out and quickly reach a hill that looks down towards the citadel. All looks to be in good shape -- no total destruction or anything like that. The people move about the small town and look to be putting things back in order, continuing their recovery from the near-end-of-the-Wold. The citadel looks no worse for the wear, despite a few cracks in the foundations and perhaps a tower that's not quite as straight as it used to be. Michael, with his keen eyes, looks off to the north and thinks he can spot something quite large flying far off in that direction.

Nikolai admonished Pompous, in a friendly way, "You mean what's left of the barracks, right?" but then, at the top of the hill, it seems that the elementals never got to the Citadel proper and the foundations and stonework held up pretty good against the earthquakes.

"Anna, you are welcome to the hat anytime," he replies as he hands over the hat. "If you don't use it, that's fine too."

Nikolai muses over what Pru just said. "Well, I'd write up our report like I always do but who's going to believe that a group of heroes from around the Wold just saved the Wold from a grass no one got faround to really seeing? Might be easier if we had that head but we don't. Oh well, we do have a few souvenirs to prove we didn't desert," Nikolai sighs.

"Technically, since I'm the Thumb, I'm the only one required to report. The Fist members all show up for the report as a tradition, but not a requirement, so Trayvin, if you need to check on the townsfolk first, go ahead. I'm sure Commander Palance won't mind."

Anna says, "Thanks Nikolai. I will show the commander my true self as soon as I can. I'm just worried about folks taking my red grass hair the wrong way. I know the red grass we just stopped tried to invade everything but my grass hair isn't aggressive like that was."

Anna uses the hat to appear as she was pre-plantkin, transforming the hat itself to appear as a hair pin that resembles a tree.

As the group heads into town, a few people call out to them. Others stop and point. As the group gets towards the center of town, more people have started to line the streets and some are cheering, "Hail the heroes of the Wold!" A little girl runs up to Trayvin and hands him a small yellow flower, then she runs away.

The town itself has been rebuilt more than you imagined. You wonder if perhaps you were away longer than you thought. The open air stadium at the entrance to the citadel looks brand new and in excellent shape: clearly a lot of time was put into that area for the town to rally around. Nearby the gates of the citadel haven't been completely repaired, but they look respectable and have a guard standing smartly next to them. The guard salutes the Agents and tries to suppress a smile, but fails. He says, "Welcome back, heroes!"

Trayvin manages to stammer out a thank you as the girl runs away. Apparently the Agents were gone longer than they thought. Maybe the people don't need much help after all.

"I guess we should see the Commander right away, and give our report. She will probably be able to give us an update as well."

It is strange that it seems they have been gone longer than what it feels. He smiles at the villagers as they pass by and waves.

"Well, Sigvar, this may be in relation to the earth elementals. They may know nothing of the grass. Considering the warning of that old prophet, they may think giant earth elementals were at war with the Wold, not some seemingly harmless grass. I guess we'll find out soon enough."

Michael takes the initiative to do some info gathering before they meet with their commander, whomever it may be at the present. He pauses at the gate looking around while the guard answers Michael.

Anna says, "Regardless if they are cheering for our work pre Manfri Portal or post at least the local populace knows we are indeed a force for good. I agree though that since the Gods and Immortal Powers of the Wold were gathered post final battle the least that Imp could have done was carry our request to Ffloy, he owed us that much. Perhaps though we could seek a more direct conduit to the God of Trade. Perhaps we could take a trip to the nearest temple dedicated to Ffloy and ask the head priest there to deliver our request to his or her Diety?"

Anna goes with whoever is reporting in with the Commander when they go waits for a break in the conversation and says, "Ma'am I think there is something you should be aware of." Anna pulls the hairpin/hat of her head revealing her green skin and red grass hair to her commander.

"As you know I am a loyal Agent in service to the Mailed Fist but I'm also a servant to Queen Maab and Emissary of her Consort Lord Eberyon. My work with the Fey has only increased my ability to help the Fist but I wasn't sure how folks would take my red grass hair given recent events. I can assure you ma'am that the grass on my head will stay confined to that area and won't try to spread like the grass we just stopped. I thought to borrow Nikolai's hat of disguise as a precaution and I might be able to afford one of my own depending on the on the value of what we brought back with us if you think it is prudent to keep my recent change covered up as it were. I believe my Lady will one day grant me the ability to physically alter my appearance to appear as I was one day for longer periods of time than just 8 minutes but right now that is all I am capable of so I thought borrowing the hat was the right thing to do. Your thoughts Commander?"

When Michael approaches Tom, he tries to remain at his post, but cannot help but break into a smile and start talking. “Oh things have been good here. We’ve had some infusions of gold to help rebuilding, and you can see the town is getting right to work. And your adventures? I guess you didn’t know, but there was a traveling wizard and bard fellow that came through town and they showed us a view of the battles in the Sargrass! It was absolutely amazing! It was like we was there with you when you battled that horrible porcupine thing. We had to tell some of the townsfolk to take their kids home because we didn’t want them to have nightmares about those things for weeks, you know? But yeah, word got out pretty quick that it was you guys out there. Everyone here knows it was you, and they know you saved the entire Wold. You should hear the rumors going on as people speculated what would have happened if you didn’t succeed there! Well, let’s say some of the adults had some nightmares about what that might have been. So yeah, you’re heroes here, that’s for sure. I’m bettin you won’t be able to pay for an ale any time in the next year, least round these parts! Congrats, man, you were awesome, and to tell the truth, I’m glad you didn’t die in that mess!”

As some of the group head into the main gate, a cheer suddenly arises from the crowd, “Hip, hip, hooray!” Everyone is smiling and waving, clearly happy to see the return of the Agents. Nikolai thinks he may have seen one or two younger women blowing him a kiss.

Inside the Citadel, Commander Palence interrupts before anyone can start a formal report. She says, “No report needed. We have heard and seen all that you have done. Your actions will forever reflect well on the Agents of the Fist and have been the best PR we would ever have hoped for – oh, and that whole saving the Wold thing didn’t hurt at all.” She smiles and continues, “Consider yourself on paid leave, furlough, or just a break. We’ve got nothing special happening here, but I will certainly contact you when you’re needed again. Enjoy your fame, as the whole town loves you now, in case you didn’t notice!”

When Anna shows her hair and talks about Maab, she waves her off and says, “Indeed, Anna, we all saw your clear actions in the battle of the Sargass. I do not think any will be offended by your new red hair because your actions clearly outweigh the recent events of that horrible diseased grass. If you prefer to keep it hidden, please do so, but be aware that it will not offend me, nor likely anyone else here that knows of your exploits.”

He gently lets go of the arm and smiles, pats him on the shoulder, then heads on in. Going inside, he waves at the Mailed Fist members but does not take any exceptional notice of ladies paying him any extra attention. His mind is racing ahead on his report to their commander.

Thanking Commander Palence for their time off, he promises to have a report written up for the archives by end of next day. Saluting his commander, he leaves and joins Trayvin at the Last Assignment tavern.

Hey I'm with you Trayvin, just let me get a quick bath and change of clothes first. Purs spell is great but I still got dried blood in my hair I need to wash out...and I want to look my best just in case Q shows up at the last assignment.

with that Michale flags down a page to get him a bath in his room, and has him send another page up to clean his gear. as the hot water and soap wipe the grime away, the heat also relaxes him and he finds himself trying to nod off. with a shake he gets out of the tub and dresses in his finest scouting leathers. looks himself in the mirror...shakes his head...then goes and gets the white silk shirt with the open collar and the blousey sleeves. Tinker picked this out for him on a misson one time, where he needed to act like a traveling pest control man..it didn't work, but they got the misson done anyway. He looks good in it. with the leather pants and some broad high boots...he's styling. He meets Trayvin at the Last Assignment.
He is home now, among friends, food and beer are plentiful. soon the stories start and some how the horror, strife, desperation and fear turn into laughter and bonhomie in the retelling....
...so there I was climbing on top of that dead hydra to get a better look around, when that danged porcupine cat grabs me, now mind you thats the second time in less than a day that something has tried to eat me, the first time was that gigantic bird....I couldn't help but think, do I look like pet food or something?.........so me and Sigvar are hiding behind pru's ice walls, waiting to ambush this crazy dragon..and Sigvar...man ...he starts in with this speech...duty, honor, brotherhood, those we love, we are the elite, the gods are watching...I can't remember all of it...but it juiced me up! and all I could scream was "HOLD FAST..then that dragon flew 30 ft over our heads and burbled something and next thing you know...I'm charging at Sigvar thinking he's a Will-o-wisp....luckily that was about the end of the Sarr...it all devolved into grass a few seconds after...good thing too...That big minotar would have squished me like a grape. .

One more thing maam, as long as I get at least an hour of natural sunlight I can go without food, rest or sleep; if you want to use my new abilities to have me serve as a sentinel overnight while we are at the Citadel let me know. I intend to stand watch the whole night while we are camped afield providing I get my sun moving forward."

Anna then arranges to take a bath of her own and ensures she spends an hour outside in the sun so she can eschew rest, sleep and food if she desired.

She polishes her armor then heads down to the Last Assignment ordering either meed or hard cider instead of ale depending on what is available.

Anna says to Michael and the others (her todo list taking a bit of time), "Sorry I was late. I needed to get some sun, take a bath and see to my armor. I trust you guys difn't drink up the entire bar in my absense."

Sigvar is unused to this level of reknown. Sure, as a combat unit he was used to being congratulated for a well fought battle or a timely arival but this, this was something more.
Hero?
He supposed they were but wouldn't anyone who was able to, and could see the dark bend that the grass was leading up to, wouldn't anyone have tried to stop it?
He retires to his room and looks over his gear. It is battered, but still deadly, still protective. Was it enough? The cat had effortlessly gotten past his defenses. The Hydra had been unable to even touch him.
What to improve?

OOC
I think this is out of the scope of current Pathfinder rules but we work for a military unit so I will ask.
Can we retrain combat skills (feats)? Sigvar is seeing the futility of armor vs the foes they fight and is contemplating the benefits of upping his firepower by using a larger, heavier weapon. That would require him to retrain weapon focus and improved critical to optimize his build. Can we do that?
His other option as I see it it to beef up his AC. The Armory function of the Fist says that trading in gear grants you gear of the same bonus. His Lion's shield is worth 9170 gp, and a +3 shield is worth 9000 base gp, large and masterwork (to get to magic armor status) make it comparable. Would he be able to trade in his Lion's shield for a +3 shield?

The Sargrass

The Agents set up and prepare to relax. Michael finds that the pages in the citadel are fighting over who will get to serve the Great, Indestructible Michael. Those that arrive at the Last Assignment Inn find that the place starts out with few people there, but you can almost see the whispers as word spreads like wildfire who is in the Inn. In no time, the Inn is absolutely crammed full of people, with others looking in through the windows, taking in every word. Any coin offered by the Agents for anything is completely refused with a laugh.

OOC:

As I understand the rules for the Wold, yes, character surgery is certainly allowed. And I can understand that when you try out one build and really want to switch, that it can be difficult! So yes, just send an email with the changes you’d like to make or swap, and that should be fine. I think trading the shields as part of the Fist unit should be perfectly okay as well (we’re assuming the citadel has a +3 shield, so that’s kind of impressive, too).

P.S. The catacombs are open for business.

P.P.S. Due to poor planning on the part of your DM, the next module will not be ready for play for a week, so next week will be some nice down town. Feel free to role-play as much as you like, interact with the townspeople, make friends with other fist units, etc.!

Those that stay in the citadel find that the numbers of the agents are down from what they were before the disaster, but those who have stayed appear more dedicated than ever. Pages remain in total awe when they spot one of the agents.

In the town, after the first night, the town goes back to rebuilding. A small bridge has already been built over the large crack in the southern road. The lumber industry is thriving as demand for rebuilding has increased. Most of the town appears to be working together to help rebuild the destroyed and damaged buildings.

Akirs plans involve shopping, scribing, and preparation. Part of that of course, requires a trip to the catacombs. He was appreciative of the luck stone, but in his rational mind he knew that money could be spent elsewhere. He was low on gold coins, but the stone should fetch a good price.

Once he finishes there, he starts seeking a representative of Wardd. There was a rumor he had heard, of a way to trade spell power about, but it requires the brokerage of power with a God not his own.

Sigvar weighs the stone of Luck in his hands. It made him feel good, but that did nt protect him and his Fist. It made him better at skills and raw physical feats, but again, did not protect him. He would head to the catacombs and sell it in exchange for more owerful enchantments on his armor and a few trinketsto improve his resistance.
He goes to the Agents exchange and trades in his Lions shied for a nrmal +3 shield. The foes he was likely to face now would be heavily armored and the shield, while powerful, did not attack with the accuracy he did and would not harm them.

Akir can find a representative of Wardd. As it happens at the east end of town, away from the worst destruction, there is a small house with a priest of Wardd. He is hoping to build a temple here, but hasn’t had much success yet. He has an entranceway to his house that is decorated as a temple to Wardd as much as possible. He smiles and greets Akri, glad to have a fellow worshipper visit and is very agreeable to talking with and supporting Akir.

Some journey to the catacombs and Michael suggests going after griffin mounts. Trayvin and Michael manage to find the commander and drop a few hints about going after them. The commander looks at them and commends them for their bravery and thoughts. She says that right now she’s working on a potential threat that might need to be dealt with, so she’d prefer they wait a little before heading out on that quest. She would certainly keep it in mind for the future, though.

"Well Michael, she didn't say 'no' so that's a start. Maybe we could check in with the guys running the stables and see if any of them have any experience with that sort of thing. It wouldn't hurt to have all the information handy, just in case."

Nikolai spends his spare time half in town helping out and half in the library studying.

OOC: still have not had time to look at the loot sheet but if my memory serves me right Nikolai just wants some fire arrows.

Rebuffed. Rejected.

Pru tells herself that it serves her right. Throwing herself at a man like that. What would her Ma say, if she could see what her daughter was getting up to? Nothing complimentary, that was for sure.

"I did think I was more interesting than fire arrows," Pru sighs. "But it's fine. Fine. Men. Who needs them?"

Anna says to Pru, "You know I heard once about a tribe of all female warriors who pretty much only treated with men under the cover of darkness during designated months in order to keep their numbers up. Aside from that, they certainly didn't."

When the team's dreams are crushed yet again, Michael feins subtle hurt instead of anger, he Salutes his commander and thanks her for her time, then walks away once dismissed dejectedly.

Perform 27.

Yeah, lets check them out Trayvin, we will have them one day, probably about the same time you and Pru get massed teleport or Wind walk, but one day.

Perception 38

As they are walking, Michael notices Pru talking to Anna, she seems upset, he can guess why. That girl has had a crush on Nikolai for as long as he has known her. it's strange, Michael has never seen Nikolai flirt with any women. Michael just always assumed that he wasn't interested in women. pitched for the other team so to speak. he doesn't Judge, but it aggravates him that Nikolai keeps playing with Pru's heart like that.

Michae talks time to write in his journal, talking to all the Fist member to tease out all the facts. he makes sure to separate his impressions from facts but he does a pretty good job of writing up the encounter. he talkes 20 and does extensive research on the creatures they fought in the sargrass. the Jubjub bird, the Bandersnatch and the Jabberwoky. the feels lucky that they still live after that.

The conversations continue as the group tries to adjust to civilian life. Some are finding it more difficult than they would have thought and are already itching for more adventure…

I don’t believe you can take 10 on any action that can possibly have a failure effect.

OOC:

Found it! Take 20 assumes every result from 1 to 0. Take 10 is an average result, and you can do this as long as you aren't in danger.

"Taking 10: When your character is not in immediate danger or distracted, you may choose to take 10. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, calculate your result as if you had rolled a 10. For many routine tasks, taking 10 makes them automatically successful. Distractions or threats (such as combat) make it impossible for a character to take 10. In most cases, taking 10 is purely a safety measure—you know (or expect) that an average roll will succeed but fear that a poor roll might fail, so you elect to settle for the average roll (a 10). Taking 10 is especially useful in situations where a particularly high roll wouldn't help."

DM Note: Excellent!

Putting her romantic troubles behind her, Pru takes the time to ensure that all her uniforms are clean and mended before sitting down and writing a long letter to her family. She is curious whether any of the meteors hit near the village, and anxious to reassure them that everything is fine now. She does not mention Nikolai.

Anna adjusts to the routine of getting an hours worth of sun each day and then not needing rest or sleep at night. She patrols the ground of the citadel using her darkvision SLA to help her when needed. She spider climbs the walls sometimes too just for kicks.

(Perception: 15)

She knows she doesn't have to do this but she wants to do it because it will help her prepare for her new role as overnight sentinel and guardian of her friends.

She takes Nikolai aside and tells him what she's been doing as far as nightly activities goes and asks him if he intends to still have others join her on watch when they return to active duty or if the responsibility will be hers and hers alone.

When she's about to leave she says to him bluntly, "You know Pru has a crush on you right? If you aren't interested you should just tell her gently that you don't think of her in that way."

Once SIgvar returns from the Catacombs he spends time in town helping to rebuild. He is , after all the work he did while repaying his debt after the Fist Civil War, pretty adept at building. He also prays in the shrine in the Citadel each day and like Michael, stays in shape and trains daily.

The Sargrass 
Thursday July 12th, 2018 3:45:17 PM

Akir works on his scrolls. Pru decides to write a letter to her family, hoping they were safe from the horrible red grass. Michael remains the solider and uses his down time to continue his own training. When he heads out to join the recruits, he finds that he is still quite the hero and recruits really look up to him. One of the leaders tells Michael that the recruits seem to actually work a bit harder when they are trying to keep up with Michael during PT.

Anna learns more about her new forms and tries them out often. She patrols often and just before night one evening, she thinks she can see a large flying creature way off to the south of the citadel. She wonders, briefly, if Slartanus may be headed back to that tower. Sigvar spends a lot of time browsing the wears in the Catacombs.

Michael gets off on the Troops striving for him. he remembers some of the old cadence songs his Drill corporal used to sing. he teaches them to the boots as they run.

I can run to Izen, like this

all the way to Izen like this

when I get to Izen the orcs are gonna say

how'd you get to Izen in just one day?

and I'll reply with a whole lot of anger

Blood and guts and a little bit of danger.

Oh yeah

Pru dispatches her letter, and decides, on balance, that she would rather skip physical training and feel guilty about it than actually do it. Instead, she heads for the range and works on the accuracy of her spells, firing one Ray of Frost after another at the target.

The group continues to rest and recover. Michael ponders taking over the training for the troops. Pru works on her air, and Anna tells the others about the sight she saw and asks if anyone wants to head in that direction to check it out.

Michael enjoys training the troops and while the men work on some tasks he talks with their sgt to see where Michael might help with the training. it's one thing to take a run with the men, quite another to inser himself into the training cycle. still if the Master sgt thinks Michael can be of use and not a hindrance to training Michael will be glad to help.

Nikolai finds himself in the library deep into studies of the undead when Pru shows up. The book is open to a picture of undead zombie things with maggots and ooze all over their bodies. Most gross and unnerving. Apparently it unnerved Pru a bit and after a brief chit-chat she left. Nikolai had a hard time prying his eyes off her retreating form and back to his studies.

Once his share of their loot was handed over, he took a trip to the catacombs to cross off some items on his wish list.

News of something worth going out to investigate, and perhaps have a picnic as well, Nikolai agrees with the prospect of looking into what Anna saw.

The group continues to discuss what will come next for the Agents of the Fist. The townspeople seem to be keeping busy rebuilding the town as much as they are capable of. It’s not going to be a perfectly designed city, but the people are happy with a roof over their heads in most cases. The stores are doing brisk business as the rebuilding continues. Overall the people seem to be in a good mood, knowing that they are safe because they live near the Agents. In fact, it almost appears that there are more people in the town now as word has spread about the Agents of the Fist saving the Wold.

Pru, Anna, Sigvar, and Nikolai consider heading out and chasing a dragon all around the Wold. In passing, Commander Palence mentions to Nikolai that she has heard rumblings of possible trouble off to the north, but she doesn’t have enough detail yet to warrant sending anyone out, but that he should keep his ears open to see if he hears anything about happenings in that direction.

We also have those Griffons Michael wanted to recruit into service of the Fist. Could you imagine a Griffon mounted Calvary unit?"

Nikolai agrees that there is not enough information about the dragon and why it seems persistent on asking for trouble.

The Agents talk about the dragon they had faced down. They wonder what happened to the sorcerer that had been brought back by the Agents, and they wonder about the fellow that hired them. There is no word around town about Lord Klirt, no one really seems to remember his name. They remember some rich fellow showing up in town and disappearing about the same time the crack appeared, but no one really knows more than that. Perhaps he fled when the town was attacked back where he came from. Perhaps he headed down to the keep, assuming that it was clear. Perhaps he was eaten by the dragon -- no one in town seems to know.

"The dragon's pet sorcerer was in custody, but she escaped during the excitement of the earthquake and the wind," says Pru. "Well, technically, I guess right before the excitement, but that's what kept us from going after her. I thought Lord Klirt was headed back to the tower the last time we spoke to him."

Anna then says, "I'm honestly getting sick of that wyrm constantly showing up with a new pet spellcaster, it started with that witch fire and then that sorcerer what's next a bloodwitch or a wizard? However if the commander is going to want us to head north then we can't exactly easily go back to the tower."

OOC: I'm thinking of saving up for the next Special training level myself.

IC: "Well, Anna, that'll just have to be one of those things to worry about when it happens, if it happens. We could hire some woodsmen to keep an eye out for it and keep us informed if they see it again, I suppose. I'll ask around town for any volunteers."

Nikolai has returned from the Catacombs sporting a new belt, backpack, and headband.

He sees Pompous' new decoration and promptly 'orders' the Fist to the Last Assignment for a congratulations party, he's buying the first round.
