The Return of the Sarr


DM RobC - ""Maybe he's not as bad as everyone thinks he is......" 
Thursday May 31st, 2018 7:59:05 AM
Armand isn't far off. The Sarr has cranked it up to 11. OOC: You are back to full spells along with the bonus spell

Atlas comes up with a very basic battle plan: hold the line. He moves 40 ft or so towards the halfling group (that are still around a quarter mile away.

Mack goes with a diplomatic approach. If the Sarr can hear it he doesn't acknowledge it.

Owen waits to see what will happen. He's a little concerned so prepares to cast a Haste spell just in case.

Ely beefs up her protection and stands alongside Khan.

Osul isn't taking chances. The Sarr may be hostile - or maybe not - but those standing around may be just as vicious.

Neshi makes himself very big. Huge in fact. A huge taur will certainly be helpful should there be a fight.

Sarr continues to grow as the last of the bloodweed is drawn to him. He is immense. Probably 400 feet tall, and over 100 feet wide.

With one more anguished "NOOOOO!" the Bloodweed Sarr creature flings out its arms. Quite literally hundreds of creatures of all kinds and sizes erupt from the massive form. Many seem to have been tainted by the Bloodweed. All of the creatures are moving as fast as they can toward the perimeter of the circle--running, flying, burrowing toward the adventurers.

Toward you.

They have to cover quite a distance--some 2,000 feet or thereabouts. It will likely take some time.

Unless, of course, some of them can teleport.

Owen's haste spell triggers giving everyone a bit of a boost.

[OOC: Everybody can post 2 rounds' worth of actions before things get real]

Quickly casting mage armor for his protection, Neshi then begins casting again "Wind wall" in hopes of keeping a section of the circle critter free.

Armand calls out. "Atlas you need to stay within 30 feet of me if you need healing."

He casts Bless, everyone is affected: +1 on attack rolls and saves against fear 79 rounds
He then cast Shield of Faith on himself: +3 to AC 80 rounds.

He calls out again, "I have 1 more shield of faith I can cast, you can't be using an actual shield though to gain it's protection bonus. Anyone or creature need it most? Though it may have to be cast once these things get near, so it would have to be someone in 'reach' of me."

"Oh, and those of you that can't cast we've got some potions available."
1 Wand of Cure Light Wounds
17 Potion of Cure Light Wounds
15 Potion Of Cure Moderate Wounds
2 Potion of Remove Fear
1 Potion of Endure Elements
1 Potion of Hide From Animals
1 Potion of Hide From Undead

Any creature struck by the dagger takes 1d6 bleed damage and must make a DC13 Fort save versus the permanent Drow Poison that has been absorbed into the blade. The blade glows with a pale red light if any creature within 60ft is ‘dying’.

"Well, if no one else wants it Armand, I sure could use it. Or Squeaver. Actually, Squeaver probably needs it more then I do."

Squeaver moves closer to Armand, to protect him, regardless of getting the Shield or not.

On Round 1, I cast Owl's Wisdom on myself.
On Round 2, I cast Magic Fang on myself.

OOC: I'll get an update out here hopefully tonight on all of the spells and durations currently in affect for me.

Atlas runs back towards Armand. "Well, I don't know how we're going to keep them from running through the gaps, but I need your healing! Also, I'm going to drink that Flying potion so I can better deal with the aerial threat."

Thursday May 31st, 2018 11:57:24 PM
On round 1, Owen calls out to the Wardens: "I'll try to deter the ones on the ground a little, but I'll focus my main efforts on the air. 'Osul, can you shift into the form of something that fights underground, to take care of the burrowers?" Then he casts Fly on himself and takes to the air. On round 2, he uses his Invisibility Field to disappear, then flies higher and casts Major Image. A massive stone wall, ten feet thick, ten feet high, and 120 feet long rumbles out of the ground behind the party, apparently rooted deep in the ground. DC 18 Will save to disbelieve.

_________

Round 1:
Standard - Cast Fly.
Move - Fly upwards.

Round 2:
Swift - Activate Invisibility Field.
Standard - Cast Major Image: a really big stone wall appears. DC 18 Will Save to disbelieve. Note: This is a figment, so it is sense-affecting, not mind-affecting. No matter how dumb these creatures are, it should affect them.
Move - Fly higher.

________________

OoC: I'll update my spell list tomorrow. Owen hasn't cast anything he wouldn't normally have prepared.

"Owen, so we're to be first against the wall when the revolution comes?"

'Osul had plans to start setting the defenses up between the wardens and the oncoming creatures. Maybe there will still be time.

He spends a Hero Point for an extra standard action, with which he casts Wall Of Thorns A massive thicket of briars and thorns, ten feet thick, ten feet high, and 80 feet long sprouts twisting and entwining out of the ground between the wardens and the creatures. He then spends the actual round summoning a Large Earth Elemental to attend to the subteranean threats.

In the second round he tries to build on the theme, casting Entangle (using the Wall of Thorns as the diameter of the circle of effect).

"Almost there."

OOC: Thanks Lynnette! I thought about it, but I rely much more on Dex then Str, so getting enlarged actually does more harm then good for me. ;( I thought about using it for Squeaver, but apparently it's humanoid only (and Squeaver would likewise have a similar problem, also relying more on Dex then Str).

I wonder if it would help Atlas quite a bit, since he's a Strength Fighter?


DM RobC - ""Maybe he's not as bad as everyone thinks he is......" 
Friday June 1st, 2018 8:27:45 AM
As you are wrapping up your second round of actions, you see big, glowing letters toward the center of the battlefield. They say: "SIGNAL IF YOU NEED HELP. GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE. SINCERELY, THE IRON DRAGONS".

The casters in the group put up considerable defences. By your DMs count: Wind Wall, Entangle, Entangle, and Wall of Thorns. It will slow many things down, but against an army this size it may only be buying time. For safe measure a Major Image (stone wall) behind the party.

At the same time the warriors in the group ready themselves. Obstacles only hold back foes for so long of course.

The ground troops draw near. Two buzzing swarms of wasps flies over the entangled ground and then moves to try and find a way around the windwall that would surely blow them away. At their base speed you envisage they will be around it in 2rnds.
Knowl Planes DC18: Highlight to display spoiler: {Hellwasp Swarms}

Five skeletal demons are also trying to make their way around the entangled, thorny and windy area. At their base speed you envisage they will be around it in 3rnds.
Knowl Religion DC16: Highlight to display spoiler: {Babau Demons}

Devils, however, are not stopped by the defences as 4 teleport right near the party. Black and twisted angelic warriors, with wings stained black shear and carrying fiery bows. They fly 20ft off the ground and are spaced 10ft apart. There is nothing between them and the party.
Knowl Religion DC18: Highlight to display spoiler: {Erinyes Devils}

More creatures continue to follow all of these. A seemingly endless mass of monsters looking to break you. The Sarr has grown to some 200ft wide and 400ft tall. All around there are groups trying to push back the monsters that spew from his bloodweed form.

"Babau Demons...!" shouts 'Osul, followed by a still shouted solitary expletive which doesn't clarify if he was surprised he recalled them, or wished he had more to follow that up with, or wished he hadn't recalled them at all.

"Buy them time..." mutters 'Osul as he looks to put the finish touch to his outer fortifications, and casts Plant Growth, centred again on the Wall of Thorns (but specifically not impacting The Wardens, nor the pace behind them towards the Stone Wall). Hopefully this bolsters both the Entanglement and the Wall of Thorns.

In the hope that something will come of it, 'Osul spends his last remaining Hero Point for one last extra standard action — to go Lightning Lord on the all too neat formation of the teleporting devils.
Damage: 10, 9, 8, and 10, Reflex Save DC 21 for half damage.

"We only have to hold."

Osul thickens the Wall of Thorns AND Entangled area. They both become thicker and more troublesome. He digs deep for some more time and calls down some lightning on the devils (OOC: Please roll SR for future attacks. I've given you these in full though). 3 dodge some of the damage, and 1 takes the full zap.

Atlas puts on a display, twirling his longsword in his hand and across his body and somehow leaves two of the devils shaken! That's right, even the spawns of hell are frightened by the fighter.

Armand thinks about it but eventually gives Atlas some windwalking ability.

Owen makes his skin a little tougher (though presumably words would still hurt). He keeps his invisibility field up, but can see the devils watching him all the same. Owen may have something to add about what the devils can and can't see.

Elyngael starts to fire some arrows into the enemy. Cold Iron looks to be the right option here with the full brunt of the arrows doing what arrows do. Khan is ready to act as guard.

Mack does something so amazing it defies all words.

The enemy act...

The swarms and demons continue their movements to get closer to the party. The wasp swarm is flying 75ft away from the party and flying fast. The demons are running along the border of the thorns and entangle area, still trying to get around them. They're about 200ft away.

The devils screech as they launch fiery arrows into the party.

Armand is the first target. (Hit AC33, 27, 29. 3 others miss. Armand takes 7 + 12 + 7 normal damage, and 1 + 6 + 4 fire damage)

Atlas is the next, also taking 3 hits (Hit AC24, 31, 32. 3 others miss. Atlas takes 14 + 12 + 9 normal damage, and 3 + 4 + 3 fire damage)

The devils are 30ft away from the front of the party, spaced 10ft apart each, and flying 20ft off the ground.

All around you can see other groups fighting for their lives as well. None are giving up any ground to these beasts.

YurrNeshi quickly casts and becomes an air an enlarged elemental and plows into the creatures around him as a whirlwind.10 foot diameter 40 foot tall vortex

Damage 9 points per creature struck + below

>>>Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the whirlwind might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (generally damage equal to the monster's slam attack for a creature of its size) and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 18) when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take damage as if it were hit by the whirlwind creature's slam attack. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful.

Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where the whirlwind carries them or to escape the whirlwind. Trapped creatures can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a concentration check (DC 18) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a –4 penalty to Dexterity and a –2 penalty on attack rolls. The whirlwind can have only as many creatures trapped inside at one time as will fit inside the whirlwind's volume. The whirlwind can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes as a free action, depositing them in its space.

If the whirlwind's base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the creature and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwind's height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud of debris must succeed on a concentration check (DC 20) to cast a spell.

Atlas grunts as he is impaled by the arrows. "Armand, it looks like we're both going to need that healing. I'll stay within distance, and thanks for the Air Walk!" Atlas, rushes forward and up to confront the devils, while staying within the 30 ft that Armand requested. With all the spells and his holy weapon he's excited to see what he can do!

He strikes true as he approaches one of the shaken devils. Now that he's within range he should be able to deal much more damage going forward.

"Ugh" Armand staggers under the vicious onslaught of the furies arrows. Before Atlas 'walks' off, he channels energy to heal.
Heal 11 hp to himself and Atlas.

He then spends a hero point, and casts HOLY SMITE on the hellswarm. Lets, see that's evil and outsiders. 8d6 for 29 points damage. Will save 17 for half damage and to avoid being blinded for 1 round.

"Mack, do something, I think we may need help! From what Owen says about them we are going to be overwhelmed quickly, we may need help from the Iron Dragons."

I'll drink my Anything Potion (level 3) as a Fly Potion, and fly up to flank the devil that Atlas is attacking. I'll then use a Hero Point to do my flurry:

Owen realizes that he can't do much about this particular crop of enemies, so he stays invisible and flies higher in an attempt to leave their range of true vision. He's around 195 feet above the wall, now. He turns his attention to the Sarr, that he might learn more about the creatures it is spreading: How are these monsters appearing? Are they contained inside the massive being? Are they being summoned or called? Are they being created by it ex nihilo?

Knowledge (Arcana): 28.

Neshi casts a spell and transfoms into an air elemental. He takes in a deep breath and forms himself into a whirlwind and then moves to pick up some enemies. None look to be affected by the windy form.
Highlight to display spoiler: {OOC: Not sure if you saw this bit: "other spells that change your size have no effect on you while you are under the effects of a polymorph spell." Your Enlarge spell won't function while you're polymorphed. Please also let me know the spell you cast to change your shape. EB1?}

Armand digs deep to Holy Smite the swarms. The spell does far more damage than he was expecting, what with swarms taking extra damage from area attacks. Both swarms looked to have stopped in their tracks, blinded.

Atlas steps right up and delivers some holy vengeance upside Devil #2. His blade digs deep and leaves a scar on the devil's face that will take a lot of time to heal.

Mack flies up to double-team the devil that Atlas is having a go at. His attacks hit however the fire doesn't look to do much

Osul calls down more lightning bolts on the blinded swarms. Neither swarm are able to see it coming and the lightning really hurts them. He's really starting to fry them.

Elyngael unloads more cold iron arrows. The arrows are hitting their mark however the fire doesn't look to be doing anything.

Owen stays safely hidden away. The devils may not be able to see him, but he's pretty sure that they can see that there isn't really a wall. He tries to get a handle on how the Sarr is able to create these critters. No summoning or casting looks to be happening. They seem to be emerging freely from his massive body. As each wave of creatures is released the Sarr starts to look a little thinner.

Armand wonders whether now is the time to call for some Iron Dragon assistance. Far in the distance though things look quite grim. The group you suspect to be the Iron Dragons is battling a number of elder dragons. Fire, lighting and green acid clouds blanket the area. The unthinkable has also happened: one of the Iron Dragons looks to have collapsed to the ground! It may be difficult for them to help anyone right now. At least they look to have drawn the sizeable foes away from the fight.

The enemy act...

Devil #1 fires a volley of arrows at Elyngael! (Hit AC29, 24. Miss AC18. Elyngael takes 13 + 10 normal damage + 3 + 1 fire)

Devil #2 is surrounded by Mack and Atlas. It drops it's bow, draws a sword and swings at Mack. This devil has surgical accuracy with its blade and draws a large amount of blood (Hit AC35. Crti confirmed on AC33! Mack takes 26pts damage!)

Devil #3 fires a volley at Osul! (Hit AC24, 21, 21. Osul takes 12 + 8 + 8 normal damage + 2 + 5 + 3 fire)

Devil #4 fires at Armand! (Hit AC25, 23. Miss AC21. Armand takes 14 + 9 normal damage + 1 + 6 fire)

The swarms are blinded and rather than move into the wind wall or tangled and thorny area instead elect to stand still, some 75ft away from the party.

The demons are getting close now. 90ft away from the party and running. Fast.

Armand staggers and drops to knee.
He summons the healing powers of Gargul. He will exclude the Furies in range. (Those in range should be, Armand, Atlas, Elyngael, Khan, Mack, I'm not sure about the others, but Elyngael was moving towards me, and Atlas said he would stay in range and Mack is next to Atlas)

OOC are the devils taking penalties for shooting 'through' Neshi's whirlwind?

Armand summons the stuff of legends (hero point) to cast Entropic shield on himself.

Armand takes a brief moment to bolster his defences. An Entropic Shield and a Resist spell do the trick nicely.

Osul puts some spiked stones in front of the demons to slow them down. He draws down a few more lightning bolts on the swarms.

Mack and Atlas combine to deliver an assault to Devil#2. Mack has better luck landing his attacks, however Atlas's damage is better... when he connects. He laments not being able to do more for the party, but truth be told, things are far from dire. Everyone is still breathing after all.

Elyngael draws some more arrows and takes some time to carefully line up her shot. The first arrow goes clear through the demon's neck, dropping it where it stands (falls?).

Owen makes a renewed effort to get into the fight.

Neshi-wind holds his ground.

Devil #1 targets Elyngael! (Hit AC31, AC28. Miss AC19. Elyngael takes 7 + 7 points normal damage and 2 + 3 fire damage)

Devil #2 swings at Atlas as hard as it can! (Hit AC31. Miss AC12. Atlas takes 14pts damage)

Devil #3 also targets Elyngael! (Miss AC21, AC22, AC18)

Devil #4 targets Armand! (Hit AC26. Miss AC15, AC19. BUT.. Entropic Shield miss chance: 1. It's also a miss!)

The swarms are now close enough to attack.

Swarm #1 goes for Squeaver. Squeaver gets to make an AoO as they draw near but then finds them all around (Squeaver takes 5pts damage!)

Swarm #2 goes for Khan. Khan gets to make an AoO (Khan takes 11pts damage!)

The demons have to slow down from their run speed to circle their way around the stony outcrop that Osul created. It will now take them 3 rounds to get to the party as they navigate around it.

'Osul suspects that Khan and Squeaver have the match of the swarms, and if he can hold up the demons then that will best help the other wardens dealing with the devils, and he pumps a fist in the air as Elyngael's arrow fells it's target demon.

He casts Entangle on the slow moving Babau Demons (Saving Throw: Reflex partial vs DC19 ; Spell Resistance: no), and continues to dig deep (why stop now - spend 1 more Hero Point) to hopefully entomb them in a Sleet Storm (Saving Throw: none; Spell Resistance: no)

Atlas gets a renewed sense of hope as he sees Mack pummel the devil in front of him. His strikes are true and the devil takes a licking. Atlas looks at his blade with pride, "A good upgrade for sure."

Armand lets loose with another round of healing. Hopefully everyone should be in the 30 foot range, he excludes the swarm(s) and the Devil fighting nearby with Atlas and Mack.

Everyone heals 14.

He then draws a dramatic breath (spending last hero point) as he whips out the windwall scroll he had from the sargrass boat captain. He utters the words to the spell and weaves it in, through, and about, all grounded party members, (i.e. at least Sqeaver, Khan, and Armand). The range should be sufficient to drive off the hellswarms from the companions but short enough not to interfere with Elyngael's archery. It will also protect all of us in the blowing wind from archery shots.

Squeaver bites at the approaching swarm, and even though some of the wasps drop there are still enough remaining.

Osul drops a double spell combination this DM hasn't seen before: Entangle + Sleet Storm.

The first spell entangles demons 3 and 4. They can't move at all. Movement through the area is now difficult terrain and drops speed by half. He then covers THAT area with a Sleet Storm. Not only can the demons no longer see out, but movement through that area is now so tough that it will take a DC19 Ref Save AND a DC10 Acrobatics check to move at 25% pace. So even if all those checks are made the demons can only move 15ft as a double move. Assuming the spells were cast directly on top of them and thus surrounding them it will at best take them 3 rounds just to get out!

As if that wasn't enough Neshi dumps an Ice Storm on top of that. They all take 11pts damage (resist cold) and will be lucky to escape from these spells. Movement in that area has now dropped to 1 square being the equivalent of 40ft. It's safe to say the demons are well and truly locked up.

Neshi and Osul get hero points for a clever combination of spells.
Highlight to display spoiler: {Wow. "If more than one hampering condition applies, multiply all additional costs that apply. This is a specific exception to the normal rule for doubling." So... 1 square = 5ft. Entangle x2 = 10ft. Sleet Storm x2 = 20ft. Ice Storm x2 = 40ft. Assuming they don't get entangled along the way, it should take them 8 rounds to get out at best.}

Mack continues his flurry and kills off Devil #2. He takes a 5ft step closer to Squeaver and uses his extra haste attack to finish off the swarm next to Squeaver!

With Devil#2 now absolutely dead, Atlas is able to take a 5ft step to get within range of Devil#1. He just about kills it on his own!

Armand let loose another round of healing and sets up a wind wall to protect the party from incoming arrows.

Owen drops down to boost Mack's strength. This could make things interesting.

Elyngael can no longer see the demons through all that sleet and ice, but gets the impression that won't be a threat for a while. She instead targets the nearby devils. As a result of Atlas' attacks, Elyngael is able to finish one off. Her remaining arrow is then sent at Devil#4.

Devil #3 drops its bow to go and attack Atlas (Miss AC20)

Devil #4 turns to shoot at Atlas (Hit AC34. Crit confirmed on AC33. Miss AC15, 20. Atlas takes 24pts damage + 6 fire)

Swarm #2 is pushed to the outskirts of the windwall some 20ft away from Khan, who is closest to them.

The demons do ... something

A good round for the party. All demons locked down, two devils dead, one swarm dead.

charging into the remaining spawn with the hopes of destroying/grounding/seriously damaging it.

Damage 16 points per Reflex DC 18 for 1/2 damage

Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the whirlwind might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (generally damage equal to the monster's slam attack for a creature of its size) and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 18) when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take damage as if it were hit by the whirlwind creature's slam attack. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful.

Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where the whirlwind carries them or to escape the whirlwind. Trapped creatures can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a concentration check (DC 18) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a Ð4 penalty to Dexterity and a Ð2 penalty on attack rolls. The whirlwind can have only as many creatures trapped inside at one time as will fit inside the whirlwind's volume. The whirlwind can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes as a free action, depositing them in its space.

If the whirlwind's base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the creature and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwind's height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud of debris must succeed on a concentration check (DC 20) to cast a spell

He takes a moment to admire their handywork before casting Call Lightning at Devil 4 for 8 damage (Saving Throw: Reflex for half damage, DC:21; Spell Resistance yes...

Neshi makes quick work of the remaining hellwasp swarm, scattering tiny little carcasses flying through the air OOC: Just confirming that Neshi is a Small Air Elemental, and how many rounds you have left in whirlwind form

Osul hits the devil with a pretty weak lightning bolt, and even then, it looks to shrug off half the damage.

Armand keeps up the buffing of the party and laments not being able to to safely get close enough to do some healing.

The buffed up Mack steps closer to Devil #3 and flurries as if his life depended on it.

Squeaver sits safe on the ground licking his wounds.

Owen sends a blinding ray at Devil #3. He expects it to be a miss but is happily surprised that he actually hit it! (Yep, Touch AC17 is a hit. Please roll damage

Elyngael just keeps the arrows coming.

Khan is happily safe on the ground

Atlas was so happily basking in his glory that it draws his attention away from the present. He does manage to hit the devil, but barely.

The enemy act...

Devil #3 attacks Mack. He did the most damage and the devil hopes to repay him in kind. Fortunately for Mack, his new defences are up to the task (Miss AC28, 25.)

Devil #4 has a little more success (Hit AC30. Miss AC15, 20. Mack takes 11pts damage + 1pt fire)

The swarms are dead

From the north you can see two pale, glowing whirlwinds are coming this way very very fast. They're about 1000ft away and coming from the direction of the Iron Dragons!

"I hope they are the help you asked for, Armand, and not the help they want! Still, we can worry about that soon enough."
He considers the ineffectiveness of his called lightning on the Erinyes, but knows his quarterstaff would have even less impact.
One still in the air, and one on the ground. There are plenty of forces on the ground, so he looks up at the one in the air, and then more closely at the bow, when an idea strikes him. He casts Quench on the bow, hoping to suppress the flame damage it appears to provide its arrows, and burns his last Hero Point (ahead of the roll) to try to make it through the Erinyes inherent spell resistance.

Armand glances toward the approaching things.
Perception 24 (d20+4), while technically lower than the required roll, it is a nat 20 so automatic success yes?

"I don't know what those things are but they are moving way too fast, they will be here in 3 rounds, so same time as those demons probably get free. And I didn't signal anyone, nor do I think any of us have had time to signal anyone either."

Armand casts a spell and jumps up to tap Elyngael's foot. He casts Resist Energy - fire - on her.

Atlas shakes off the distractions and concentrates. In doing so he delivers a clinic on how to fight a devil in hand to hand combat, landing on every single attack. He lets out an angry growl when his last blow finishes the attack and then shakes his sweaty hair out of his eyes.

Armand continues with buffing the party. This time granting Elyngael some fire resistance. (Mack is correct, a Nat20 on a skill check isn't an autopass. This was a Perception check anyway, so no biggie)

Atlas gets back in the groove. He swings his holy longsword with renewed strength and accuracy and finishes off devil #3.

Only Devil #4 remains.

Mack is close enough to start hitting it and proceeds to slap it around a little.

Owen can see something approaching and prepares for the worst. A fireball tends to work in most situations.

Like the devils before it, when confronted up close Devil#4 drops his fiery bow and resorts to hand-to-hand combat with Mack, but he's just too hard to hit! (Miss AC17)

Osul and Elyngael consider their actions
(OOC: With only 1 devil remaining, I'll put it back to you as to whether you wish to follow through with those actions. It seems you'd be saving a spell, hero-point and potion though. Happy to go with it, just wanted to lay things out)

The whirlwind beings are getting close now. You can see a number of them flying out towards other groups too.

All Atlas and Elyngael can do is watch their attacks sail wide, but that's ok. Osul drops a lightning bolt on the devil, Neshi a lightning bolt, and Mack flurries. Even if all saves are made it is still enough to kill it.

Armand and Elyngael also try to watch for the demons. No matter how hard they look however they cannot see within the driving sleet created by the Sleet Storm.

Owen is the one to call out some good news: aid is on the way!

The devils have been slain and the swarms dispersed. The demons are still trapped within all sorts of spells.

The party look to have a moment to gather themselves.

OOC: My notes on my Thunderstone: You can throw this stone as a ranged attack with a range increment of 20 feet. When it strikes a hard surface (or is struck hard), it creates a deafening bang that is treated as a sonic attack. Each Creature within a 10-foot-radius spread must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or be deafened for 1 hour. A deafened Creature, in addition to the obvious effects, takes a –4 Penalty on Initiative and has a 20% chance to miscast and lose any spell with a verbal component that it tries to cast. Since you don't need to hit a specific target, you can simply aim at a particular 5-foot square. Treat the target square as AC 5.

Atlas comes back down to the ground, his hair standing up a little after all that lighting right next to him, and accepts the potion from 'Osul. Taking the stopper out he downs it quickly so that he can be ready for the next fight.

"Thank you 'Osul, that helped." He looks around at the group, "How are we on spells and prayers? I'm guessing this is going to be a long day."

Before turning back to the field he looks to Armand, "Well friend, I'm ready for that other prayer if your god is still willing to give it to me. Every little bit helps."

Atlas isn't as jovial as he normally is. There is a look that you have never seen on him...maturity? He looks ready for battle, he's in his head preparing, he knows the day is going to be long and they need to hold even if it means their life. Yeah, maybe maturity, but then he sees you looking and he smirks and winks. Can he be mature and Atlas all at the same time? What has the wold come to?

Just to make sure my plan was clear... I'm flying towards the demons, if possible with all of the spells on and around them. Up and over the wall and up high above them, if nothing else, before I drop that Thunderstone in their area. I'll be out of range for a Mass Healing by Armand, but pfffft..... ;)

Owen drops down next to the others. "I'm still pretty good on spells, in part because I could do very little against those enemies. I imagine we'll face more soon; I hope I can do more than identify them."

He looks about at the group during this lull in battle. Mack is up to his usual antics, though this flight of fancy is more helpful than normal. 'Osul is looking out for the health of the Wardens. Atlas, ever a fighter, is planning ahead for the next struggle. Armand is supporting his friends with the same intensity out of battle as within. Elyngael is still on the periphery of the group, alert and outward-focused.

Owen smiles quietly to himself. Maybe his age has granted him a little wisdom after all: he remembers that he is a scholar at heart, not a combat mage, and here is a book that needs to be arranged among the others. He turns to the elven ranger, saying, "Elyngael, why don't you coordinate our defense with Atlas? We were in disarray in the last exchange, but having a plan would help us fight as a team."

Atlas looks at Armand a bit sheepishly, "Thanks for the healing, but I thought you were going to do something to make it harder to hit me?"

Looking more confident when he looks at 'Osul, "That is something I can certainly do! Hey El, you seem to like that bow. I'm going to keep getting out in front and trying to draw their attention. Mack will flank with me so that we have a better chance of success. I really liked how the casters were able to slow the groups down so that we could deal with them one at a time. As the bad guys get through the spells they'll high Mack and I. If they try to go around us you pick them off and push them back to us. How are you with that longsword? If they break past Mack and I we'll need someone to stand in front of the casters to hold them off as long as possible until Mack and I can get back to help."

Mack decides it's time to throw that stone away, and he has just the place for it. He tosses it towards the ice storm. He can't see if he has actually hit anything but there is a very satisfying *bang*.

Osul does a quick assessment of the team. The party are actually doing ok.

Armand reminds the party of their stock of cure potions. Now is as good a time as any to have a drink.

There are further discussions about the fight, the enemies, stock levels, and what to do next. Tactics have also become a good topic. A planned attack and defense could prove the difference here.

The Wind Form Bralani Azatas have finally reached the party and slow downn to settle amongst the group.

"The Iron Dragons bid you well. Good shall prevail today as the heros of the Wold unite" says one with a whispery, windy feminine voice. There are no iminent threats so the azata start casting spells. "Our spells are at your service"

One reaches a windy arm out towards Atlas whilst the other towards Elyngael. Assuming neither resist, Atlas and Elyngael are now under the effects of a blur spell (6mins)

The party still have a few rounds before the demons are loose. The bralani are offering CSW or Blur spells as required/requested by the party.

"Thank you kindly for your aid." Armand tells the beings. He then drinks a potion of cure moderate wound. healing 15 hit points.

Armand looks around. "By Gargul's cold breath. I think those guys over there may need your help." He points southward around the clock dial, in fact next to the Tree on the dial. There you can barely make out 2 Tyrannosaurus Rex's engaging a small party.
OOC, the Lakeview Passage folk may need some help.

Atlas nod's at the voice's of the Iron Dragons, wondering if they are the ones that they ran into at the beginning of this adventure.

Atlas responds to Mack, "Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to, but I think you could benefit from it." He then heads towards the mass of spells that were cast, waiting for the demons to come out. As he walks he raises up into the air 5 feet so he has a good shot at the Demons.

"Thank you! If these are our choices then Blur me please?"

"What did you spot, Mack?"

He follows Armands' gaze to the Ty... dinosaurs Highlight to display spoiler: {'Osul hasn't had any experience with dinosaurs, but the weather druid feels somewhat akin to the thunder-lizards}. He wonders aloud, "How far away are they, and how soon can we be ready to help the other parties?"

"Hey!", he yells in the direction of the entangled spiked-stoned storms, before concluding that he wouldn't be heard in any case. More softly to the other wardens he adds, "When the storms dissipate, the spiked stones and entangled grass will continue."

Mack is up for a little Blur (Woo Hoo!)

Owen also takes up the offer. He puts the other group about a quarter mile from the party. You could get there (eventually) but may be leaving this area unprotected.

Osul is third to the party so will have to wait a moment. He works off the assumption that the spiked stones and entangle spells are still in effect, and will continue to do so when the storm wears off.

Elyngael isn't ready to let her guard down just yet. There's a whole bunch of demons within her range and they're just waiting to come out. Blur-Atlas follows suit and prepares for whatever may come next

Armand isn't as concerned for the party wellbeing as he is for that group of people nearby fighting ... dinosaurs???

The azatas blur Mack and Owen as requested. They look about at the other nearby groups and concur with Armand "We should go to their aid. A few more spells on you and then we shall hurry to them"

OOC: You get 1 more round of spells from the azata. Choose who will receive a spell :)

Don't go dying on me, they're only demons after all. If you're going to die then try to do it in a more spectacular fashion than that."

The group do more buffing. Neshi protecting himself more from fire, Mack casts Guidance on Elyngael, Armand casts Prot from Evil on Atlas, Bralani 1 casts Blur on Neshi, Bralani 2 casts Blur on Armand. It's a buff frenzy!

Owen is concerned about the group fighting the dinosaurs nearby and makes off in that direction. He doesn't get as far as he intended though (Highlight to display spoiler: {"The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run"}

The Bralani look about and are satisfied with what has been done. "We shall follow our masters orders and tend to those in most need. May your blades be sharp and your minds sharper" The pair start their way towards the dino-fight.

The battlefield is starting to be riddled by corpses. Dinosaurs, demons, devils, dragons, hydras, and skeletons are amongst all the things you can see dead on the grass. The battles still rage though as more and more creatures burst from the Sarr and make their way about the battlefield. The Sarr has reduced in size such that he is now "only" 350 foot tall. He looks down on the bodies and booms "YOU WILL NOT HURT MY LAND! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED SO EASILY!" before letting loose another roar and launching a new wave of creatures, causing Sarr to shrink. You're not sure your eyes are seeing clearly, but it looks like there's about 10 big red flying seahorses coming this way. Yep. Flying seahorses. You put them around 5 rounds away.

Unfortunately you may not have as much time to prepare as you had hoped. The Sleet and Ice Storms have ended sooner than they should have. There is also no signs of any spiked stones or entanglement. The demons are free!

DM RobC: Good Wiki find, however only creatures with a natural fly speed can use the run action, and - this is where the wiki comes in - if they choose to must keep to a straight line. Flight speed gained through a spell does not allow for the run action.

Atlas puts on another terrific - or terrifying depending on where you are standing - display with his sword.

There is naturally some confusion as to what the distant creatures are. Owen, Armand and Osul only have a moment, but believe these to be seahorses. More accurately though it is likely they are some sort of giant seahorse carrying the bloodweed sickness and somehow given the ability to breath air and fly. Having never seen or even heard of such a thing that's about all you can tell.

The original Wall of Thorns, Plant Growth and Entangle spells are all still in effect, though may not make much of a deterrent for flying seahorses.

Armand downs a cure potion and ready for the fight. Mack does the same.

Neshi sends in a deep slumber spell. Demon 2 shrugs off the effect but number 3 drops like a stone. He considers using the true strike wand but then has to pause. Wands of True strike have a range of personal. Only the person using the wand can benefit from the spell.

Elyngael isn't going to mess around with potions. She just wants to shoot stuff. One arrow hits.

Owen sends in a Crushing Despair spell and is happy with the results. Only Demon 5 is unaffected.

The demons attack...

Demon #2 moves close enough to attack Squeaver using a longspear with 10ft reach. The despair and dazzling display make the attack a poor one (Miss AC10)

Demon #5 moves close enough to attack Mack the same way but also misses (Miss AC19)

Demon #4 casts a spell and is then surrounded in darkness. It moves close to the party. Mack and Atlas find themselves just within it: 5ft from the edge of the 20ft raidus. Demon #2 and #5 are 10ft further in - around 15ft from the edge.
Spellcraft DC17: Highlight to display spoiler: {Darkness}

Demon #3 has lovely dreams about attacking an old elves home and is about 30ft away in clean open air.

The flying red seahorses get closer. Probably 4 rounds away.

Owen calls out: "Atlas! Mack! Those things are covered in acidic slime, so be careful hitting them." Then he lobs a fireball at the oncoming seahorses. It seems to be more effective than usual? Not expected with sea creatures.... Creatures in the radius take 38 fire damage; a Reflex save with a DC of 18 will halve that damage.

Armand casts Light on Atlas's shield to help guide him in the darkness.

Mack tumbles to get into a flanking position with Atlas. It puts him further into the darkness but gives Atlas a better angle.

Owen calls out a warning as he decides to throw a couple of seahorses on the barbie. 2 look very crispy and another 3 a little well done.

Elyngael fires off two arrows into the darkness and believes both connect (Miss chance due to concealment in darkness: 50%)

Atlas swings into the darkness and connects twice. He can tell based on the sickly slime that now coats his sword. (Miss chance due to concealment in darkness: 50%. 2 hit. Atlas to make 2 x DC18 Ref Saves: One to prevent 6pts acid to his sword, another to prevent 7pts acid to his shield.)

The enemy act...

Demons 2 and 4 coordinate to flank Atlas. They scratch, claw and bite at him, but amidst all the action only 3 attacks connect (Hit AC28, 28, 27. Miss AC24, 25, 16. Blur Miss chance: 20%. 39, 44, 46 all hit. Atlas takes 34-6 = 28pts damage)

Demon 5 gets close enough to attack Mack but can't beat the rogue's defences (Miss AC15)

Osul puts the seahorses (airhorses?) at around 360ft away from the party and closing at around 120ft/rnd.

A pitched battle rages across the plain. All over, heroes are engaged with the creatures Sarr has spawned. The tide appears to be turning on the second wave as heroes battle and defeat animals, casters, giants, dragons, and liches. Sarr notices the defeat of its minions as well as the weakened state of the rest of its forces and rages, “ALL OF THE SARGRASS IS AT MY COMMAND, MY CHILDREN WILL PROTECT ME! YOU CANNOT WITHSTAND ITS CONCENTRATED POWER!” as a new wave springs forth from Sarr’s body. Sarr is now much smaller.

Yurr'Neshi sends a fireball into the oncoming herd of seahorses ... there are 5 of them ... they roll 19, 22, 26, 16. and 13 --- no wait, they are bloodgrass infected, so that gives them +4 dex off book, so that's +2 reflex saves so make that 21, 24, 28, 18, and 15. Number 2 and 3 take half damage. By odd coincidence, those are also the two that had failed the last save. Well, that puts total damage to all seahorses at well over their hp maxes, even boosted with +4 con via bloodgrass. ALL THE POOR SEAHORSIES ARE BURNT TO CRISPS! AWWW! Nice Job, Mister Yurr!

Armand wonders why his Light did not dispel the Darkness ... he concludes that probably the darkness was created at a level equivalent higher than that of the light. But no matter, a Dispel can do the job ... nice job with the math, by the way, and yes, the darkness is lifted for the moment. Of course, they can create it at will, so we'll see if any bother to restablish the effect ...

Note that the so-called "Darkness" only serves to lower the light level in the area by one step, so if we assume normal light, then the Darkness creates dim light conditions, forcing a 20% miss chance but not blinding anybody. And if you have Darkvision, the dim light is no problem at all, and you do not have to roll miss chances. Oh, by the way, all the demons have darkvision. Muahaha!

Well, looks like DM Rob is giving total concealment and 50% miss chances due to darkness. Well, for this round at least, Kindly Substitute DM Cayzle is ruling that the "Darkness" does not stop you from seeing who is where and that it only grants a 20% miss chance (0% if you have Darkvision) per my more accurate interpretation of the rules. See, I am a nice Substitute DM!

Mack continues fighting a demon. He attacks twice, hitting twice for 21 damage total, and dodging the acid that splashes when he strikes. Sweet. It is very nearly dead.

Atlas attacks four times, and there is no Darkness, so the kindly substitute DM has zero miss chances to roll and no -2 penalty to att and dam for Darkness, whatever that comes from. So Mack hits ACs 21, 23, 23, and 35 -- ALL HIT, whoa! Okay, the one Mack just hit is WAY DEAD. The next three attacks hit Demon 4, for total 6+21+19=46! Wowsy!

OH WAIT! Atlas's Haste is expired! That means the hit vs AC21 is actually vs AC20, so that misses. And the extra Haste attack is not made at all! Well, shucks. That means Atlas only hits twice, not four times. The shield's 6 damage is still enough to put down Demon 2, and Demon four is hit once for 21.

Elyngael shoots twice and misses twice, alas. Her Khan makes a coup de grace vs the sleeping demon. When taking this action, there is no need to roll to hit. You just inflict a critical hit, and then use that for a save vs death. The kindly Substitute DM rules that to be auto damage of 18 with a critical hit bite. That means a DC28 fort save ... the demon has a bloodgrass-boosted +12 on fort saves, and rolls a 28, exactly what it needs, sorry. Demon 3 is down 18 hp, awake, and prone. BTW, Khan has to make DC18 relfex saves with each bite to avoid acid damage, but kindly substitute DM Cayzle does not apply that rule to coup de grace attempts, so no worries on that front. If Khan continues to attack, though, please roll a refles save each time she or he hits.

Osul spends the round summoning.

Owen does NOT waste his fireball on the dead seahorsies. Will your kindly DM of tomorrow grant you an extra action to compensate? Meh. We'll see. At least you did not waste the fireball?

The enemy act...

Demon 3 is prone. He tries to create Darkness! He does not want to provoke an AoO and lose it, so he uses it on the defensive. But his concentration check fails and he ruins the spell-like ability. Sighing, he stands from prone, and THAT provokes an AoO from Khan. Remember to roll that DC18 reflex save if you hit to avoid 1d8 acid damage (roll it yourself if you miss the save please).

Demon 4 sees that Atlas is a bigger threat and a more damaged target, so attacks him. He attacks with two claws and a bite. First claw is a crit threat nat 20 that confirms against AC30! AND the next two hits are a nat 17 and a nat 18! WHOA, the die roller hates you, Atlas! At least there's no sneak attack damage since his pal the flanker is dead! Now, it says in Atlas's header that he has a 20% miss chance, and I see that the Iron Dragons sent you guys some help? Well, let's roll those miss chances, starting with the crit ... I roll a miss on a 01-20 ... 6, 90, and 57! Well, if Atlas really does have that miss chance, it just saved him from that crit. Damage to Atlas is 16 damage from the second claw and the bite; add in another 13 if that miss chance is not real.

Demon 5 keeps on fighting Mack. It makes three attacks at +12. One hits, a failed drit threat, and Mack takes 6 damage.

To answer a question ... all three demons still in the fight are within 30 ft.

NO DARKNESS FOR NEXT ROUND!

Babau Demon 2: AC19. Last Known: 62 dmg. –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. Mack hits for 21 dmg ... total 83 ... if it is bloodgrass infected and has the standard +4 Con ... plus 6 damage from Atlas = MOOT and just barely DEAD!

Owen the missiles hit the demon by Atlas like a trip hammer doing 26 hp of damage to the fiend.

Mack: fists without flanking fail at flailing. you do 9 points to the demon, and avoid the acid.

Atlas: (snap kick from Cayzle, things happen.) your attacks are more than this demon can take and it spews ichor as you almost decapitate it with your last swing.

Armand: you blast out the power of your god and damage all the demons.

‘Osul: sends his bat into the fray.

Elyngael supports her companion with covering fire to help it withdraw. but the combination of all the attacks are too much for the demon and it crumbles to the ground and begins to bleed out.

Yurr'Neshi pop the demon clean with his lightning bolt.

the sole remaining demon, seeing it's vile companions fall redoubles its efforts to cause misery by attacking the small halfling. it stabs at him with its spear an tries to bite him, but cannot quite hit the dodging halfling.

The Sar continues to rage in the centre of the circle and you can see other groups hard pressed by various monsters. you see something drop from the Sar and begin to roll your way, but it is several rounds out. You have time to get healed and re-buff if you need to.

Yep, something is rolling this way. It looks like a huge reddish metal sphere and it's trampling everything in its path. Corpses and grass get squashed like a rolling pin over dough.

It's speed is a constant however - it isn't slowing down - and most certainly and unerringly headed towards the party

I fly towards Armand for the healing, and tag Atlas with Guidance on the way.

The enemy seem relentless.

With the ball approaching Neshi boosts his spell resistance, Armand channels some healing to everyone, and Mack gives Atlas a little guidance.

It's actually a little surprising but Mack can tell this is some kind of construct.

Osul stands in awe and just hopes something will slow the ball down

Owen ascends out of the balls reach and sends down two scorching rays. No damage looks to be done whatsoever.

Elyngael wonders about potential weaknesses.

You have battled many enemy and as this new threat approaches it seem as if the fight will never end. But in fact, you have held the circle long enough! 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. Even the approaching metal ball has collapsed into motionless inert metal plates on the ground.

It would appear that the battle is over.

Finally, there is a huge writhing as three final gigantic creatures emerge from Sarr. 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 images you encountered when you broke the crstal that had infected your homelands they are the mysterious figures, here born as the new powers of the Sargrass Plains.

The one of green transforms into a gigantic treant. The one of white transforms into the mother of all Sarg moths. The one of red transforms into a series of flickering bestial shapes.

They speak together in unison to all around the battlefield. 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."

"We seem to have survived."

Armand looks around a bit stunned by the suddenness of it all. He sits down and begins writing in his journal. "Hey everyone, when you have minute let me know your thoughts and impressions being present at the birth of a new power. The Sage's guild is going to want as many first hand accounts as it can get."

He looks over at 'Osul momentarily confused..."What folks back into the Tree?"

Elyngael addresses Armand "My impression is that I don't want to do this again! It is far beyond anything a ranger might do, and beyond what I've seen in Nature. Perhaps this is where my path diverges from that of my parents...if we dare." She reaches for Khan, her constant companion, for assurance.

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

"Oh hello!" You jump in alarm as you are greeted by a small fellow who appears in the middle of the 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 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."

He rises on his tiptoes to get a peek at what Armand is writing in his journal. "When you describe me try and fit in the words 'dashing' and 'handsome'" The little guy puffs out his chest and turns to give a view of his side profile.

"Yes. Right. Ahem." He folds his hands in front of him, and composes his face into a serious expression. The short guy clears his throat, 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 DC25: Highlight to display spoiler: {You see the same small fellow, or his identical siblings, talking with other groups of heroes too!}

Everyone is awarded 10,000xp and 1 hero point! Woohoo!

"Gimp! Mr. Gimp?" Armand jumps to his feet. "Guys this is Gimp, messenger of Gargul!"

Armand scribbles in his journal. After the battle was over the dashing Gimp, resplendent with red glowing mud on his spindly legs appears. His body somewhat strawberry shaped seemed covered with scales and the tiny little horns on his head made him appear almost handsome.

"Well I for one am happy that none of our party died in this battle....though I could be wrong, Beodir seems to have disappeared during the combat. I'm not sure what to ask of you really. Oh I know. The Tree of Parting indicated to us that it was going into a dormant period which could last a long time. Do you know anything of this? And also we were given a sapling and nut of the Tree to try and find suitable places to plant. Do you have any ideas where we should do that?"

Atlas comes back down to the ground to listen. "Did you just read that off the palm of your hand?" He shakes his head, "What a day this has been."

Friday June 29th, 2018 7:34:16 PM
Atlas calls Gimp out for reading something off his hand "Be prepared, am I right? It felt like the occasion need a little pomp"

The party have a few questions about the Tree which seems to perplex Gimp and gets him a little animated. "A tree? After all this you're concerned about a tree? What sort of... wait, hold on a moment" Gimp places his finger to his ear and turns his head away and has what looks like a private conversation.

"Yep... Right... You mean? Ok... And the? Oh... So the? Right. Should I?.. Gotcha"

Gimp turns back to the party "I was just testing you of course. The Tree of Parting, am I right? The big man says that the Tree was put into a state to protect itself. Seems the Fey Queen knew something was coming to attack all the flora and wanted it covered. She's pretty good like that. The big man doesn't really do the whole plant growing thing so you might want to keep the little version you have safe. Just in case."

Owen asks about the Sphinx "Yeah.... nah. My orders are to send you guys on your way home. So let's get you going! Time's a-wasting!"

The Imp takes a few steps away from the party. He gives a final cheeky grin and then shoots you with finger-guns. "BAMF!"

The plains, and the gods, and the other adventurers all vanish in a swirl of fog and you find yourself in a blank space between worlds. All you see here is one another.

Oh, and Mahyawu, the Manfri who sent you on this quest in the first place. "Congratulations," he says with his soft tones "I knew you were the right ones. Here. I have something here for you.""

He produces three wooden boxes and opens each lid. Inside the first is a small pile of emeralds. The brightest and cleanest cut you have ever seen. Inside the second is a collection of diamonds, each as clear as the next. Inside the third box are rubies - blood red. "Representing each of the Powers you have helped restore"

"Well, uh, thanks, Mahyawu." Armand seems a little flustered.

"So is everything back to normal now?"

He looks over the gems trying to get a sense of their value.

Elyngael wants firm ground under her feet again. "Those gems are beautiful, but worthless to us if we can't spend them on useful items. I want to see green grass more than I want green gems. It feels like we are in limbo, and that feels like a punishment, not a reward"

Osul can't pick up any weather at all in this little pocket of space, unless "nothing" counts as a weather forecast? If so, he's 99% sure in a forecast of "nothing".

Mack has just about had enough of this planar hopping, a sentiment shared by Elyngael. What's a person got to do to get back to normal ground?

Owen is grateful for the gift while Armand tries to put a price on it.

As soon as Armand touches the chests the white space surrounding the party starts to fade to black. Mahyawu holds his hand outstretched in much the same way he did when you first met. It can only be a gesture of farewell. Will you ever see him again? Time will tell.

Once the surrounds fade to total blackness, they fade back to white. But it's not really white. It's just that your eyes are still adjusting. With your vision returning you can start to make out some colors. It doesn't take much longer for the complete picture to come into view: standing in a field of bright green grass, sun shining, and a clear blue sky. A fresh country breeze brushes past your cheek and the warmth of your sun on your face gives a sense of calm. Behind you are the chests. Up ahead though, perhaps some quarter-mile you can see the broad boughs of the Tree of Parting.

You can see movement around the Tree. It looks like the residents but they are yet to see you.

Finally. Home.

OOC: I've checked your PC sheets and you all seem to have different WBL figures. I'd like to get things to be on a fair and level ground, so instead of the planned and set value there is instead enough in the gems to get everyone to 48k

Armand looks at the Tree to try and determine what shape it's in.

Neshi is just getting settled down from all that is happened when he is whisked through nothingness yet again. Somehow he manages to keep the contents of his stomach contained. As happy as he is to see Mawyahu again Neshi realizes that means there is another trip coming very soon.

As he brings forth the chests of gems a smile crosses his lips and than just as quickly everything goes wonky again and Neshi finds himself in a field of green grass and registers that the tree of Parting is in the near distance, but that is near the back of his mind as he crawls off to the side and empties his stomach of its contents, the last trip having been the deciding factor.,

Owen is glad to see the Tree again. As the party walks back toward it, he finally tells the story of how he wound up returning to the group: "As you know, some time ago I left the Wardens to seek out my wife and son. On the way, I happened upon some Star Mages and leapt at the chance to join their organization. As part of their requirements for membership, I was tasked with investigating an unknown problem: several of their diviners and seers had received visions of a terrible threat approaching, near the Culverwood. Because I have had my own travails there they sent me, and so when the meteor struck I was close enough to be bowled over and warped by its power. I'm quite glad that you guys were able to save me!"

Elyngael sees green, closes her eyes, and reopens them to find that the world is indeed green with a blue sky. "Khan, I think we're back! Our adventures have made me feel as the others do about the Tree of Parting. I am happy to see it still exists." Khan contentedly trots alongside his mistress happy because she is. "Armand, lets get walking indeed," Elyngael calls out encouragement to the cleric.

It's been a long journey for the party. You've ventured throughout the outlying areas, travelled to other planes, engaged in a full scale battle on the Southern Continent and now finally you return home.

Approaching the Tree you can see that already it is showing signs of returning to its full and wondrous beauty. It won't be long before the days of its hibernation are long in the past.

The folk of the Tree still look to be repairing things. They're as resilient as the Tree itself it would seem.

It's Liliput that sees the party first. She gives a small shriek and moves her hand across her chest in some sort of protective ritual. She draws the attention of those nearby who then see the source of her scream: you.

There are gasps and confused looks. It only takes a few moments for Miles to arrive and see what is going on.

"Well 'Lems left lung what have we here?" he seems pretty calm and even happy "Looks like Ciyradyl owes me two gold coins" Miles approaches the party and gives Atlas a slap on the back "Good to have you all back, Wardens. How about a drink and you can tell us of your travels?"

The onlookers are still whispering amongst themselves but are visibly relaxing. They're starting to be very happy to see you.

Armand is the one who is first to notice it. At the base of the Tree is a small stone tablet surrounded by fresh wildflowers. Carved into it reads: "In memory of the Wardens. The brave souls who cared for all. Forever in our hearts"

OOC: Could you all please email me your WBLs? Is Atlas the only one already at 49k?

Not in a pocket universe now? Once more with the weather forecasting (otherwise he's not going to rid himself of the agitation that they might not really home or really out of trouble). Survival: 30 - 4 days

Looks like I'll won't be ready for more WLA training just yet. Still, I promised the first round in the Triple T.

With that, and if convinced, he takes on his arriving-back-at-the-tree form, a young Red Tailed Hawk, and takes to the sky, overwatch

Atlas looks at the tablet that is pointed out, "What! You thought we were dead?" He lets out a big laugh, "I'm sorry, that probably isn't appropriate, but we're still kicking and happy to be home. I'm sure there were a few moments where thought we might not make it, but all is good now.

"We're happy to share our stories, lead the way my friend. And tell me, how long has it been?" Atlas walks next to Miles, a big smile on his face and his confident yet relaxed swagger is back.

Armand talks with Owen on their walk to the Tree. "Fascinating, so you are a member of the Star Mages now? I joined the Sage's Guild on our last aborted trip to Plateau City. Did you ever get a chance to visit your wife and son? Perhaps we should work on getting them moved here?"

Armand ponders the sign. "I'm afraid news of our deaths has been greatly exaggerated."

Armand makes a point to check in with James to see how things are going in their headquarters before going up to the Triple T.

Osul deduces that the next week looks set for nice weather. Sunny skies, a little breeze, low chance of rain.

The first thing is working out how long the party have been gone "You're really not sure, are you?" Miles looks a little quizzical "It's been months"

Knowl planes DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: {Time moves quite differently in other planes, especially those with ties to Maab.}

"When we didn't hear from you, not even an animal messenger we were concerned. When the Wold looked doomed and you weren't here we knew, well I should say we thought, that something had befallen you."

With the party doing a quick trip home first Miles gives a nod and heads towards the tavern to get things started.

The party make for a quick trip to the headquarters. News of your return has already reached James, as he stands holding the door open. "Sirs and mam. It is good to see you alive and well."

Inside everything is exactly as you left it. Perhaps even a little cleaner. James has kept things well in order.

"I shall take the liberty of setting out some clean clothes should you wish to freshen up"

Armand wonders how long they have been gone.
Knowledge planes 25 (d20+9)
He counts on his fingers awhile. "Nope doesn't add up. But time sometimes runs differently in the planes and especially in Maab's plane." He turns to Miles. "We were in Plateau City when Maab showed up and teleported us all back here. Then we had those deranged treants attack and we went to see about the meteor. Owen was there, lots of things happened, but we got teleported then to the land of shadows where Maab was holding the Sargrassi in limbo." He shakes his head. "This will be a long tale and probably best done over a tankard or two."

Sense Motive 33 (d20+13)
"James you've done a wonderful job. I don't know if you remember Owen, but he has come back. Oh' by the way Owen, Gaston is dead now. James was his servant but has entered into our servant at the headquarters."

Armand will take several minutes to freshen up and change clothes. Any wealth that we have over our excess he will again set into James's care for upkeep of the headquarters and of course to buy himself food and such as needed. Also to pick up any books that look interesting to fill the mostly empty library.

James takes in Armand's praise. "Thankyou sir. I tried to keep things as intended for what I knew would be your return. The larder is understocked right now, but I look forward to filling it again." James is no longer hiding his joy at your return and is no doubt going through all the things that need to be put in order once more.

He takes Enylgael's quiver and leaves it standing by the door to remind him on his next shopping visit.

Owen is shocked (and probably a little happy) that Gaston is dead. There's no chance of him coming back to seek revenge on the party. No sir-ee. No way at all. Dead guys don't come back.

Khan finally gets to have some fun and free rein. The last Elyngael sees is him trotting off towards the west.

Mack and Squeaver try and find a small stream to dip their toes in. When was the last time the Wold just stood still for a while so that you could enjoy a few simple things in life?

Osul enjoys riding the breeze in red tailed hawk form. He can close his eyes and glide, using the air current to keep him aloft.

While half of the party are out relaxing in nature (Mack, Squeaver, Khan and Osul) the other half relax in their own way: the tavern!

There isn't a lot of fanfare but as is now becoming common practice all eyes are on you as you enter. Most folks you walk past give you a nod, a broad smile and a hearty handshake or slap on the back. The tavern is set such that the party have the center table. Miles has seen that the table is already set with ale. "The mutton is on its way" he says with a smile as he gestures towards the table.

Those at nearby tables watch and all turn to face yours. Miles raises his hands and calmly speaks "Now now, folks. Our protectors here are no doubt tired and just looking for a quiet drink and a meal. I'm sure once they've had a chance to rest there will be time for stories"

You do notice that there are more patrons here than there used to be. Evidently trade at the Tree has improved and more travelers and traders come through here.

Atlas gives James a big hug, knowing it will make him uncomfortable, but also not caring. He's one of them in his own way. "Good to see you James!

Once they are at the Tavern Atlas settles in. He doesn't want to offend Miles, so he keeps a bit of a low profile as he goes about telling tales of their adventure to anyone that wants to listen.

Armand takes out his journal and refers to it as he tells Owen, and the rest of the patron's at the Triple T, of Gaston's demise. He does this between bites of this meal.

He recounts how the party was summoned to Plateau City for Gaston's trial, and the troubles with the journey. Then he tells them about how they saw Gaston in Prison and Gaston was begging them to cut a deal with him so he could get free and tell the party of a sinister plot. Of course the Warden's were not having any part of that, 1) because they vowed to never trust Gaston, 2) he was in jail and they weren't going to do a jail break, 3) the party had no sort of enforcement or legal powers in Plateau City to be able to offer or enforce any sort of deal. Gaston was shocked at this. The party would at best hear him out and then offer to tell the authorities about Gaston's testimony. Of course then 3 Xorn showed up and killed Gaston, as well as some sort of fire elementals. So not only is Gaston dead his corpse was fairly burnt up in the process as well. Though Armand did manage to cast a speak with dead on him, Gaston ever elusive only hinted that there was some lurking conspiracy in the city and environs. The Wardens started to investigate and ran across a strange Golem when Maab appeared and whisked them back to the Tree.

Then Armand will tell the tale of the rest of the adventure in the Sargrass and how its returned and three new powers were born/created.

Owen enjoys a delicious meal at the TTT, and joins in on the tale when appropriate. As a budding Loremaster he is working on improving his storytelling. When the battle with the bandits comes up, he tries to be subtle... but can't resist talking about taking out a whole ship by himself. And there was great teamwork among the Wardens. That too. Yeah.

What started as an afternoon drink turns into dinner and then into evening drinks. It's a relatively mellow celebration for the return of the Wardens. No chairs upended or mugs smashed. Everyone is relatively well-behaved but that could just be exhaustion. The residents also didn't have much time to prepare since your unexpected return.

There are still some in the tavern looking to make the night continue. Laughs are had and (tall) tales told. The ale flows freely and the room is full of smiles. Everyone is just happy to enjoy life and to see you all alive.

Standing by the window and looking out over the fields you can see the sun turning in for the night. The sunset has never looked more beautiful than it does right now. Vibrant colours amidst the clouds and an overall stillness around the Tree. It's as if the Wold itself is taking a cleansing breath.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Right now though, just serenity.

Armand nods at 'Osul's comments. "Indeed in many ways the Tree is still something of an outpost. We have no WLA, no Sages Guild, no Star mages guild. For all of that we must travel, and the nearest place is Plateau City. Still it appears it's been months since we 'left'. I wonder what condition the city is in, if that group has had months to operate how established are their plans?"

Armand points to Mack, "Where did you get to? Well we did send for the horses way back when, but no telling what happened. And we still have the Tree's sappling and nut to plant somewhere as well."

Armand eventually leaves the tavern and returns home to sleep.

Several uneventful weeks pass with the party enjoying the serenity of the Tree.

A few venture to "nearby" Plateau City to visit the guilds there. The citizens there are still coming to terms with recent events, and is evidenced by the increased number of guards and their uneasy attitude to strangers.

Shopping is conducted at the Catacombs and there is even enough time to finish those few odd crafting projects that had been on the go.

Ahhhh... rest.

Once back at the Tree the party take on their usual role of helping out. The increased number of travelers does give rise to more trade. Sometimes haggling goes too far and erupts into small arguments and today is no different.

Standing in front of an arms stall a dwarf is arguing with a gnome. The dwarf has long red hair and a beard to match. He looks quite solid and is wearing a chain shirt with signs of dried blood. In his hands he holds a mace with a broken metal shaft. The gnome is bald and wearing a red and yellow tunic. His arms are folded and is barely looking at the dwarf.

"No returns. I made that clear when you bought it" argues the gnome
"Thief! Swindler! The mace broke against a target dummy. What would have happened if I was in combat?" say the dwarf getting quite red in the face "An elf would have made it better!"
"You inspected it and you bought it. It's not my fault what happens after you take it. Yes. Take it and go!"
"You said you bought this in the Scab. No dwarf would have made this. You are a liar and a cheat. Were you but a foot taller I'd show you where the other end of the mace could go"

More words are exchanged and their voices get louder. With the dwarf standing still the gnome starts to nudge the dwarf away from the stall. The dwarf holds his ground, refusing to budge and glaring at the gnome. Things start to escalate quickly. The gnome gives the dwarf a soft push on the shoulder. The dwarf points his finger right into the chest of the gnome. At this the gnome rolls up his sleeves and shoves the dwarf in the chest. The dwarf purses his lips, glares at the gnome and then spits on the ground

'Osul surveys the scene, "Could get nasty here. I can cool some people, if not their tempers. That or we could take statements and such." And more quietly he adds, "I mean, the increase in trade is a good thing, but I suspect neither the management nor the other traders are going to be happy if this increase is matched by a decrease in the quality of the workmanship of goods being sold."
He thinks he might be able to fix the mace (though certainly not here and now) but doesn't understand the metal well enough to identify the source of the flaw. Otherwise he keeps a Create Water on standby, though he expects to not need it.

After watching for a bit Atlas decides it's time to do something. "Could someone have my back if needed?" And with that he wanders over and inserts himself forcefully between the two, pushing the back with one hand on each of their shoulders. (If the dwarf doesn't budget then I just use him as leverage to push the gnome back further).

"Hey now, there's not going to be any violence on my watch. I'll toss you both into the cooling cell if that's what is needed. I've listened to both of you bicker over this mace the past few minutes and it is clear neither of you is going to be happy with a compromise, and I'm not handing out free money or maces." He turns to the dwarf. "You can either take this as a lesson learned and move on or you can request a formal inquiry into the trading practices of this individual, but I'll not have you beating him to a pulp with your broken mace. If you want to open a formal inquiry then I'll need some information from both of you."

Atlas waits for the dwarf's response.

When in Plateau City Armand reports all that happened in the Sargrass to the Sage's guild. He looks into setting up some sort of messaging system. OOC, I need to work on my fate item, I've been thinking some sort of two way clay tablet that would allow me to send a written message back and forth to the guild 1/day

Armand observes the goings on in the market.
Sense Motive 27 (d20+13)
Before he can intervene in what is about to be a knock down fight, Atlas steps in and starts trying to calm things down. Armand sighs at Atlas.

"Say now, before things turn ugly let's try and let cooler heads prevail."
Diplomacy 25 (d20+10).

Armand goes over to the gnome's stall. He whispers to anyone out of earshot of the 2 arguing. "Anyone know anything about these two?" Armand does not have knowledge local.

Armand then looks at the items in the gnome's stall, picking them up and trying to get a sense of them.
Appraise 15 (d20+5)
He picks up a similar weapon to what the dwarf bought. "I'm no expert..." he swings the item around a bit and makes a show of examining it. "Never can tell when you're going to need a back up weapon." Armand is acting like he may buy something. "What do you guys (ie the party) think about some of these items?"

During the weeks of rest, Owen stops by the Catacombs and picks up a few things. He spends the rest of the time relaxing and studying new spells from scrolls. He learns a good number: See Invisibility (DC 17, Spellcraft 27), Water Breathing (18, 26), Phantasmal Killer (19, 28), Feeblemind (20, 32), Cone of Cold (20, 28), Teleport (20, 26), Seeming (20, 40), and Shadow Evocation (20, 22). He seems to have trouble blending his subtle illusions with the offensive power of evocation...

Owen, wandering the markets of the Tree of Parting with the other Wardens, hears the clamor and turns his attention to the dwarf and gnome. Knowledge (Local): 25, 22. If he recognizes them, he calls them by name and asks them what the problem is. If not, he looks about to see if anyone is taking advantage of the distraction, but is likely a bit lost in the whirl of the marketplace. Perception: 7.

"Who is disturbing the peace of a lovely day?" Elyngael calls out as she and Khan saunter over to the where the shouting is going on. "Let my friends examine these weapons for a moment. I'm sure this can be resolved fairly. If you don't listen to Atlas or Armand, I'll be happy to introduce you to my friend Khan. He doesn't like shouting either." She states calmly looking at the dwarf and the gnome with her hand gently stroking Khan's head.

DM RobC - "I'm sure this can be resolved fairly." 
Tuesday July 10th, 2018 7:08:59 AM
The party decide it's time to step in and settle/defuse this situation. No trouble is too great or small for the Wardens.

Osul acts the strong silent type, watching intently and readying a water spell just in case.

Atlas acts the strong type, imposing himself between the pair. There is no resistance from either although they are both clearly surprised by it all. There is no formal inquiry or legal board per se. If anyone causes a problem Miles simply bans them from trade, or escorts them away, or gives them a hiding serious enough to keep them from coming back. It's a system that has worked for quite some time and having the backing of the Wardens has made his job significantly easier. Who wants to say no to the guy with combat veterans on his side?

Mack acts as backup and for some reason plays a tension building tune on the harmonica. To be honest, everyone watching is a little surprised by it. Well, those that know him aren't that surprised.

"What? You can't even punch a guy around here?" The dwarf rubs the knuckles on his right hand. He appears both surprised and disappointed. He isn't putting up a challenge to Armand though.

The gnome guy looks to relax a little. Seems things are going his way.

Owen keeps his eyes open in case this is a distraction. He doesn't recognize either the dwarf or gnome. Presumably they are new to the trading here. Nearby trade though has paused for the time being as all eyes turn to see what is going on. What started as a disagreement got close to a fight and then the Wardens themselves intervened. Quite a sight to behold.

Elyngael goes for the intimidation route. If Atlas can't settle them down she's pretty sure she - or Khan - can. The gnome takes half a step back. The dwarf does seem bothered at all by the sight of Khan, barely acknowledging him.

Armand tries to get a little more information. He whispers to a nearby chap to see if the pair are known, but all he get is a non-committal shrug.

Armand then takes the opportunity to have a look over the wares of the gnome. It's quite clear nothing here is new. Every piece of equipment (and it is all arms) has scratches or little dints to it. It all looks quite usable, just not new by any means.

The gnome leans towards Armand, keeps his eyes on the dwarf and snips "I only said I bought it in the Scab. I never said it was made there or anything"

The dwarf inhales deeply to try and keep his cool.

Neshi wanders by as the altercation begins and while he stops he does not enter into the fray as his companions have things well in hand, however he does scan through the crowd and the other stalls looking for anyone who might be looking to take advantage of the distraction that has all the shop owners riveted and focused on things other than their stalls and goods. He can't help but think this could be some sort of distraction for a partner of the dwarf to do a bit of thieving.

Armand eyes the goods then the gnome. "Hmm, caveat emptor, eh?" Armand asks the Gnome. "Seems to me a lot of your items are used. You say you bought them in the Scab? Who'd you buy them from? Looks like the weapons of losers in a battle. I hope you didn't pay too much for them or you too have been taken."

Armand looks sadly at the Dwarf. "It appears the gnome was perhaps less than forthright in his dealings. Much of his inventory has seen better days."
Diplomacy 13 (d20+10)

Armand looks about the market place. "Perhaps we can find you something better. I wonder if there is a stall from House Dul'g in the area. The Tree has a trading agreement with them. Granted it's with Drow, but if they have anything for sell I'm pretty sure that it will be far better made than this...shoddy ware." He indicates the goods of the gnome perfectly aware that his comments will be heard by others in the market and probably stop the gnome's business.

He beckons the dwarf. "Besides if we can find a merchant from house Dul'g I think I can swing a slight discount."

Atlas nods at the comments of the others and says under his breath to the dwarf, "If you need some pointers on how to pick out good weapons swing by the common room tonight and we can talk. When you're face to face with green skins you have to have complete trust in your weapon or you're dead."

Well, everything seems to be back under control. I put my harmonica away, and go see if I can find some cantaloupe.

Owen approaches the group and addresses the gnome. "Look, just because you've got Atlas standing between you and him doesn't mean you get to try to incite him. If you want to sell used weapons at the Tree, you can call them used goods, but you can't go around stirring up trouble like this."

Elyngael smiles and shakes her head at the way the merchant backed off, and the dwarf was diverted, all in a fair and equitable way. "Khan, our friends are amazing. They only use force when it is necessary. Let's go hunting and see if we can bring back some fresh venison to supply the kitchen" swinging her bow and quiver over her shoulder, Elyngael and Khan take off at a loping pace towards the forest.

Atlas chuckles quietly to himself for a moment, then looks over Owen's shoulder and gives the gnome a glare to reinforce Owen's point. "Well said Owen. This is an honest and peaceful place that visitors should be respectful of." He begins to smile at the thought, but then gives the gnome one more glare for good measure. Anyone that knows Atlas knows that he's having fun with this.

Elyngael and Khan continue their pace until they arrive at the forest. Elyngael slows and walks slowly then and laughs as Khan rolls around in the grass and pounces grasshoppers like a kitten. She isn't seriously hunting, she simply wanted to explore these woods, and if a likely place for the sapling should appear, so much the better.

Owen it seems Atlas has a long neck and his Sargrass armour gives him extra flexibility.

Mack: talks to squeever the squirrel take him at his word and makes his way up the tree and onto the branches.

Atlas: gnomes are short, but you do manage to grimace over Ownes shoulder...it's not so much intimidating, as disturbingly weird. The gnome gets the hint and starts packing his stuff to move on.

Armand: no merchants from house D'gul set up shop here, but you do see a lot, relatively, of Drow products at the shops, so apparently Drow traders have been coming by often enough to have fresh shrieker fungus on hand. Dungarth has some exotic leathers, Boolia has some better quality gems, Lorifir has a few drow hand crossbows for sale, but you find the weapons at Saide's shop, the Big Nest. she has some drow swords, a bit of drow armour and what looks to be some dwarven weapons The Dwarf's eyes boggle. By my stone bed! These are Durgar weapons! where the heck did you get those? . he does not stop for an answer but starts haggling with Saide over the price. she engages him but gives you questioning glances as if to say " you want me to give this guy a deal?

‘Osul: cautions Elyngael to see what the kitchen wants before going hunting.

Elyngael is just digging being in the woods.

Yurr'Neshi cautiously scans the area looking for those up to no good. you don't see anyone, but you do see Miles doing the same thing you are. he nods to you, appreciative that someone else can keep from following the crowd.

Armand gives a slight nod to Saide and says, "Hello Saide. Please help out our dwarven friend here who is not very skilled in appraising the true worth of a weapon. He was taken advantage of by a less honest than yourself merchant." Armand pats the dwarf on the back.

Armand will then wander the merchants in search of anyone carrying some books. They have a large library of empty shelves in the Tree. Library

The dwarf seems happy with the deal he got. he thanks the group, apologises for his outburst and is soon on his way. life goes on at the tree. you have been here so infrequently of late that it seems alien, like coming back to your hometown after begin gone for years, but soon, with everyone at the tree so kind and friendly the feeling of being home comes back. some things tickle memories

Lilliput singing as she takes care of the leafy chapel. she has a very pretty voice and her songs of love of Alemi seem to have an extra dimension of beauty when she sings them.

Laughingwater and Hiflanyl working the lifts and squaring things away. there is always a conversation going with those two. that often involves a joke, their laughter is so everpresent its absence is odd.

Miles is always a sight, walking straight-backed and stern around the tree. he's imposing, but he always has a bit of caramel wrapped in a corn husk for the kids. they follow him like a bunch of puppies.

far up in the tree, you hear the tink tink of Boolia's jewellery work. and all the other sounds that go with the tree, not the least of which is the constant sussruss of the wind blowing through the branches.

The day passes in relaxed slowness. then in the evening, most folks go to the Triple T, for drinks and entertainment. many clamors for stories from the Tree Wardens, all wishing to know what went on during the last adventure.

Before turning in, he takes flight (Dire Bat makes a good choice given the hour) to reaquaint himself with the surrounds.

Come morning, he looks to have a discussion with everyone about planting the sapling - gathering all he can about the long table.

Atlas finds his routine, waking up each day to do his forms, going about helping the people of the tree however he can, and trying to enjoy the down time. He's Atlas though, so you know he is getting antsy. To pass the time he begins offering weapon training to those that seek it. It's more to keep him from going insane or getting rusty than anything else, so he charges half the regular cost of such training.

Owen practices with Atlas, it’s prudent to increase both martial skill and team cohesivity.

Mack: & Atlas: You notice that the tree of parting is positively loaded with fruit, nuts, and berries of all types. There is even Caco, vanilla and Tonka beans growing on the tree. The Tree’s foliage thought is turning the glorious golds, reds, and browns of fall.. the tress is going to sleep but far be it from the Tree of Parting to leave it’s denizens hungry.

Armand: yes. But you are famous now, and your fans want to hear your stories again and again. On the bright side though, you haven’t paid for a meal since you got back.

‘Osul: calls for a discusson about where to place the sapling. It’s a valid question. What was once a sprout of less than a foot of height is now a proper sapling at just a bit over 4 ft and it seems to be growing taller ever day.

Elyngael & Yurr'Neshi The Microenvironment around the tree is amazing. The density of life here is easily 3 times what it is elsewhere in the wold. Prey animals from the very large to the tiny, birds of every shape and size, hidden ponds and streams abound, which is odd as a tree this size should drink up all the water from all around, but fish positively crowd the waters. Where prey is so come the predators. A small pride of Smilodon’s and a short faced bear hunt the big animals, but seem smart enough to keep out of sight of the Humans and simply enjoy the largesse. Bobcats, ocelots, Mink, martin and stoats even tiny shews all hunt here. The tree drops enough food that it’s an all you can eat buffet around the tree. Hunting is beyond easy. Choose what you want and it’s only slightly harder than walking out and getting it.

OOC: sorry guys. During the crossover event we were marching to the beat of a different drummer and as such we had no time to put together a new adventure. RobC is working on it now, but It will probably be as much as a week before we can get started. I’m trying to get approval for a min adventure from the PTB…we will see.

Tuesday July 17th, 2018 1:26:44 AM
OoC: That's okay, we can make our own fun!

IC: Inspired by the training yesterday, Owen gathers the other Wardens together: "Everyone has been rather out of sorts lately, what with the world almost ending and whatnot. A lot of the residents of the Tree are still pretty worried about the next imminent disaster. Why don't take their minds off of it? Let's have a few days of games, like Atlas and I were doing with the training yesterday--but a competition, instead!"

With that, he heads out to the grounds beneath the Tree and sets up an illusory obstacle course for the Wardens and the folk of the Tree. Here's how it works:

The course is 260 feet long in total. Make adjustments to the total distance based on your performance on each obstacle, then divide the remainder by your base movement speed to figure out how long it took you:

Obstacle 1: Three burning barriers block your path, each crackling with heat and flame! Acrobatics DC 10, 12 and 16: For each check made, subtract 10 feet from the total. For each check failed, add five feet as you stumble in pain.
Obstacle 2: A wolf approaches! Intimidate DC 20 to scare it away and subtract 30 feet in a burst of vigor, or Handle Animal DC 15 to shoo it away gently and subtract 10 feet. If you fail the first, you must flee and add 30 feet to your total; if you fail the second, you can skirt around it and add only 5 feet.
Obstacle 3: A series of trivia questions flash brightly in your eyes! Ten of them, in fact, one for each type of Knowledge check. They are tricky, but not too difficult: about DC 15. For each one you can answer, the path forward becomes more clear and you subtract 5 feet from your total.
Obstacle 4: At the halfway point of the race, where runners must turn around and return at speed, there is a tall stone maze. You have four options, but you can only choose one and you don't know what the results will be in advance. Results for both pass and fail are listed in the spoilers.
Stealth DC 25 Highlight to display spoiler: {Pass: You sneak past the maze entirely, evading everyone's notice! Subtract 60 feet! Fail: You are caught and add 90 feet as the crowd of onlookers hurls heads of lettuce at you!}
Perception DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {Pass: Your keen eyes spot the fastest way through the maze, but you'll have to make an Escape Artist check against DC 10 to squeeze through. If you succeed, subtract 30 feet; if you fail add 20. Fail: You run the maze as normal, getting lost only once on the way. Add 30 feet to your total.}
Ride DC 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {Pass/Fail: You grab a nearby Minotaur and attempt to ride him through the labyrinth. Wait, that was a terrible idea! You add 40 feet as you get both lost and stomped on.}
Swim DC 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {Why would you swim through a maze? Pass: It seems to work; subtract 10 feet. Fail: You feel silly; add 5 feet.}
Obstacle 5: A steady wind blows in your face! Con or Wis check DC 10 to weather it or be at peace with it, respectively. If you fail the check, add 15 feet to your total.
Obstacle 6: A bleeding wound appears on your legs! Make a DC 15 Heal check to stop the bleeding with your own clothing or a DC 15 Survival check to find a nearby plant that will close the wounds naturally. If you fail the Heal check, you slip on your own blood and add 10 feet. If you fail the Survival check, you get really, really itchy and add 20 feet as you stop to scratch.
Obstacle 7: A giant boss monster attacks you! Describe the horrible creature! You have two tries to make a DC 20 melee- or ranged attack roll to defeat it or add 20 feet as you are snacked on. Alternatively, Sense Motive DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {It just wanted a hug until you started to attack it! If you succeed, it gives you a hug and then hurls you across the finish line, subtracting 40 feet from your total! If you fail, you give it an awkward side-hug and add ten feet in your confusion.}

Armand eyes Owen's obstacle course. "I think I'll pass on that. Seems very physical. Hmm, between Atlas, Mack or Elyngael I'd say."

Armand goes to the table with 'Osul. "I agree we need to get this sapling planted quickly. I still think that the Culver Wood would be the best place to plant it and hide it in case of unforeseen troubles. Too bad we didn't have the nut with us. I think it would have been amusing to plant it in the druid grove in the Sargrass. It certainly would be an unlooked for spot."

Intrigued by the thought of the obstacle course, Neshi takes a look over the course and debates with himself whether or not he is to challenge himself or not. In the end he decides to go ahead and try it without using any of his magic.

With little warm up he takes off at a run to the first obstacle not worrying about the fire at all. He clears the first obstacle DC 11 and proceeds over the second with only minimal difficultyDC 12 and completes the third with no problem what-so-ever.DC 18

As the wolf approaches Neshi uses his bulk and large catness to shoo the wolf away Handle animal DC 17 and moves on the third obstacle.

Knowing this will be his most difficult obstacle he begins answering the questions to the best of his ability

As he exits the maze almost immediately he is face with a steady wind that for some reason really affects his forward progress.

As the wind abates Neshi notices a seriously bleeding wound on his leg nut manages to quickly staunch the blood with some of his leather strips and some cloth.

Up ahead Neshi can see a colossal figure pacing across the race path.

The beast's 60 foot armored and spiked body shook the ground with each step of its massively clawed feet and its tail was knocking aside trees as if they were match sticks Its protruding lower jaw was filled with multiple rows of hand sized teeth dwarfed by its massive horned brow.its size belies the beast's quickness as it senses Neshi's approach and whips around to face him.

Up to this point Neshi wasn't to terribly worried about the course but to be faced with a thing of nightmares, A Tarrasque, for god's sake starts having him rethink his non use of magic, as that true strike wand would come in handy right about now.

Whipping out one of his his javelins, he lets fly with it and watches with glee and it strikes the beast right between the eyes on the first try. dc 25.

Sprinting Neshi crosses the finish line with a time of 40.5.

Not being very competitive, I'm still drawn to Owen's obstacle course, just for fun and because I like puzzle like stuff. ;)

Obstacle 1:
(d20+30 acrobatics check of 34, 43, 36) The acrobatic obstacles seem to come naturally to me, but I try not to get overconfident knowing the others may be quite a different story.

(d20+15 escape artist check of 32 vs. DC 10)
(down to 170)

Obstacle 5:

Obstacle 6:
(d20+15 survival check of 34 vs. DC 15)
(stay at 185)

Obstacle 7:
A stumble into the nest of a giant flaming platypus, and she's NOT happy!
(boot to the head: d20+13+1(flaming tear) of 16, 25 vs. DC 20)
(stay at 185)

I let my monk speed kick in..... (185 / 35 = 5.28)

Atlas perks up at the thought of an obstacle course! He does his best not to watch as Owen sets it up, then he jumps in as soon as it is ready. Unfortunately, as he approaches the line Neshi blasts by him and makes short work of the course. "Wow! Well done Neshi! I don't think I'm going to be able to beat that, but I'll give it a try."

Atlas begins the course strong, getting past the first two burning bushes with ease, but he trips over his own feet with the third one and manages to singe all the hair off his left arm. He shrugs it off and heads over to the wolf, where he gets big and growls at the wolf, scaring it off so that the other challengers will be hard pressed to even find it.

This is where things get tough. Atlas has been around long enough to know that he doesn't know a lot compared to others. However, he gives it his best.

Atlas is proud of how well he did on the questions, but he looks at the maze in a perplexed way. He doesn't really know what to do, so he tries...and fails miserably. The maze has certainly done him in, but the ride was worth it!

Leaving the maze, Atlas faces the wind of his life, struggling to make progress against it to the next obstacle. Somehow he manages to get a cut on his leg in the process and feels impelled to do something about it. He looks about for some healing herbs and finds exactly what he is looking for. He picks some and rubs it on the cut, only to realize too late that it is actually poison oak! He tries to rub it off, but it is too late, he's already itching and blisters are starting to form. He gives up and moves on.

Low and behold, as he is walking he comes face to toenail with an ancient red dragon! He quickly names him Sizzle, pulls his sword and says, "Thou shalt not pass!" He raises his sword in two hands and brings it down into the dragon's foot, which causes the creature to roar and hop around one one foot until he tips over. Atlas quickly moves into position and finishes the dragon by driving his sword into the back of its head. He then quickly runs over to the finish line!

--------------------------------------------------
OOC: This was fun, thanks! I did screw up though, I read wrong and rolled for all 4 of the options for the maze. Based on that it is hard not to cheat, so I'll just take the one where it didn't matter if you passed or failed. It does seem like the one Atlas would do though!

Owen has a brainstorm and before anyone even know what's going on he has a course built. before it's all done most of the tree dwellers have turned out to watch the competition. then they all want to have a go at it as well! soon a judging panel is formed and even some numbered cloth placards are put out from somewhere. most able-bodied folk try it. and most do pretty well, much better than you would think. Laughingwater, Ryan Inger, and Hiflanyl Ilyndrathyl all do pretty well, the best of the lot though their times fail to meet up with the Mack, Atlas or 'Neshi. Ciryadyl and Boolia absolutely skunk everyone at the riddle games. though they fail at most of the rest.

At the table, 'Osul agrees with Armand - to an extent. "Actually, The Sapling was for us to comunicate with while The Tree 'rested', so it should be planted nearby. I think The Seed should be planted in The Wood, and probably in the location depicted in the painting. Deep in The Culverwood. The whole circle of life thing. Should be a great adventure just trying to find the place."

Outside, after a little consideration, 'Osul sees if Elyngael and Khan (and others?) would like the company exploring the local area.

IC: Owen congratulates Yurr'Neshi on a fabulous run, thumping him heartily on the back.

Once everyone who wants to run the obstacle course has, Owen gives it a shot himself. It has added difficulty for him, because to run it he'll have to stop concentrating on the illusion: he'll have only 40 seconds or so to run before it disappears. And in any case, he's sure to be comically slow.

The Race:
Owen surprises himself as he leaps the first two hurdles, only to grow overconfident and get slightly singed on the third. His shock only grows, however, as his furious effort to shoo the wolf away succeeds! He rolls into a jaunty stride as he reaches the trivia questions, his area of expertise.... but he misses the Dungeoneering question, to his embarrassment and chagrin! He decides to try swimming through the maze, since without invisibility he'd fail to sneak by. It works, surprisingly! He is at peace with the wind, jogging along gently until a wound opens up on his leg. He deftly ties a bandage... just higher than the wound. The leaking blood undoes his footing. The boss monster is a tall army commander with pointed spikes on his bronze armor. Two dagger tosses miss, and Owen is kicked in the stomach. He hobbles across the finish line with a time of 6.67. Just two seconds after he finishes the race, the illusionary obstacle course disappears.

OoC: Wow!, I'm really impressed with Owen right now. He missed only four or five checks, and missed them (except for the very last one) by no more than two.

with Owens, run a great cheer arises from the crowd, a laughter follows soon after. it's getting late in the day, and most folks meet at the triple T. The races dominate the conversation, so request to hear about your adventure are easily turned aside. Miles is the first to mention that a martial event aught to be had. then laughingwater mentions that a race to the top of the tree would be fun. Ciyradyl chimes in that she has an idea for a cooking competition where the best cooks would square off and have a day to cook with a random ingredient that she chooses. Lorifir mentions that most everyone here can shoot a bow and a test of archery skill might entice folk to practice more. Sadie has a quick quiet conversation with Boolia and Dungarth then stands up and announces that the three of them will provide medals for the winners. Excitement builds, but a steady voice cuts through the wild imaginings. it's Folbre Ilyndrathy, the Manager, Mayor really of the Tree of Parting. This is all well and good, but remember we have a community to run, let's slow the pace down a bit. We will have one game a day, we'll try and time it so that the maximum amount of folk can come to watch it. I think with coordination we can maintain our obligations and still let everyone have a good time. . The two Ryans, Mystbender and Inger, suggest a story and poetry competition that can be held at the Triple T, they Nominate Arnos Faulk to judge, since being a published author it would be unfair for him to compete.

Elyngael you wander the land around the tree, letting your senses and your imagination guide you. You don't know if its a daydream or a vision, but your mind paints a picture of a vast copse of Trees just like the Tree of parting, their branches touching like roads and thousands of people living in harmony in the Trees. A city in the tree tops.

Owen tells a story about his son, Simon. He learned about books when he was just a baby, because Owen was a scholar and his wife was a librarian. He knew that one looked at books, but didn't have the ability to understand them or to turn the pages, so he would just stare at whatever book was nearby until someone read it to him. "It was rather disconcerting at first! You could walk around a room holding him and his eyes would stay locked on whatever dusty tome you happened to have out. But we figured it out soon enough.", Owen says with a mild chuckle and a half smile. It is clear that his mood has shifted toward sadness in recalling the story.

Hopefully someone will share a humorous story to cheer him up.

Plans are made and rules hashed out. Times set and lists drawn up. Tomorrow starts with the race to the top of the tree. It’s a timed event. Contestants will meet at the base of the tree by the main lift. Lots will be drawn to determine everyone’s place and numbers assigned. When the whistle blows the first runner will begin his run. 1 minute after he starts the whistle will blow again and the next runner will start. The judge will be at Triple T where the finish line is when he hears the whistle he writes the time down by the first number. He then does so for each number as they are indicated. Once all runners have completed their run the times will be tallied and a winner announced. That takes a while to hash out, and by the time it’s done, eyes are getting heavy and folk are ready for bed. The meeting adjourns and folk depart.

‘Osul: darkvision isn't as good at tracking as regular vison, but with rolls that good you could track by sense of smell. Yes, it's an Ogre track, there are three in fact. plus an unknown number of smaller humanoid tracks...probably orc. they passed this way no more than 24 hours ago and as recently as 4 hours ago. the tracks are running parallel to the tree, not toward it

Elyngael Kahn takes a sniff and the hackles rise on the back of his neck. Whatever it is, he don't like it. as far as following the tracks...he loses it after a couple of feet.

Yurr'Neshi ?

'Osul and Elyngale found what might be evidence of a reinforced Orc war party, either passing through or just arriving to the area. it's late and the tree is organized in such a way as it's very hard to sneak up on it at night. you tow are going to have to either fly up to the tree to get back or have the night guard lower down a lift to get back to the tree.

"A few ogres and many orcs, maybe not all at once (not together?), but heading the same direction in the last day or so, but not in about a watch or so."
"So we really should let the other wardens know."
"Speaking of watches, Elyngael, I don't think we should bother the night guard. Do you have any ideas on how we all get back up in the tree? I have one so far ... do you think both you and Khan would have any problems riding a dire bat? A huge dire bat if needs be?"

"Osul, I trust your night eyes and Khan has definitely scented an enemy. I think our friends at the Tree need to know about this, but I agree we don't have to disturb the night guard. I have no problem riding a dire bat and as long as Khan is with me, he will be fine, too. Let's get back, get some rest, and consult with the others. Then I for one, am coming back here and scouting for any more suspicious movement." Elyngael and Khan mount the huge dire bat, grateful for the silent and speedy ride back to the Tree.

"Did someone say let's go sneak around out in the woods and see if we can find any orcs or ogres?!?! I'm in!"

I look around.... Hmmm.... everyone seems to be resting. Probably making sure they are charged up before battle. I better go secure the woods.

I head out with Squeaver, just to take a quick peek. Hoping Squeaver is a good judge of my sweep patterns and speed by now, I have him keep a safe distance, act natural (for a giant albino squirrel), and wait for my signal if I run into a trouble or spot a problem (the squeakity-squeak-squeak language that I've been practicing in great detail with Squeaver.... or a loud girlish scream if I get attacked by surprise).

Owen finds himself restless and can't sleep, luckily the tree is a good place to pace, the rocking, the sound of the wind in the branches, it's both relaxing and conductive to deep thought.

Mack: nobody said that, but that never stops Mack. The tracks were about 4 miles (6.43 Km )from the tree it's still night and you don't know from which direction the Elyngael and 'Osul came back from. so although your rolls were good, there was really nothing for you to find. lots of wildlife. you see a stoat...

Atlas: sleeps the sleep of a man content.

Armand: does too.

‘Osul: when out of combat I don't put a lot of restrictions on movement. When time is not a problem and someone is not trying to kill you, you don't have to be a stickler.

Elyngael riding a dire bat is kind of cool, you can just almost hear it's echolocation.

Yurr'Neshi curls up to sleep.

The morning comes and it looks to be a light day at the tree. After the flurry of traders, muleskinners, a baggage trains...a few trappers and adventurers coming by to sell skins, loot and provender up is kind of a welcome change. chores are finished quickly and a sense of excitement and expectation is starting to build at the Tree of Parting.

OOC: Thank you Shane.

'Osul expects the hubbub about The Tree, but not the general topic of the climbing race.

When a quorum of Wardens can be achieved, 'Osul continues his key discussion from yesterday morning — the need to plant The Sapling. That leads to Elyngael's trek yesterday in search of a good place for The Sapling, and... he leaves a natural point for Elyngael to discuss what they and Khan found.

Elyngael both rested and still thrilled with her dire bat ride, jumps in"Osul, Khan and I have made a discovery that should alert all of us. We were scouting the area for a place to plant the Sapling last night. Instead, we found orc and ogre tracks parallel to the Tree, but not towards it. This definitely needs our attention. Has anyone else noticed anything unusual?

Owen suggests finding a suitable place for the sapling in the Culverwood. When he hears of the orc- and ogre tracks, he recalls something from some months ago: "Weren't we trying to figure out a symbol with three dots that those orcs and such were carrying? Have we made any progress on that?"

"I seem to recall you and Atlas saying something about dotted orcs." Armand tells Owen. "I think those orcs were before I joined you."

Armand looks around at the others. "In any case I think we should investigate these tracks as quickly as possible. And let's go ahead and bring the sapling. If we encounter the orcs and ogres and they are hostile, after we deal with them we'll have some fertilizer to bury with the sapling."

Atlas replies to Armand over breakfast, "I'm up for the trip. We've seen that symbol on a few different types of denizens, so there is certainly someone or something that is putting them there. We don't need an army only a few days walk from the Tree, so best to put an end to it before they become too much...if they are not already. I am still curious about the dreams of the Tree from the past as well, but we haven't had many clues since then, so I'm guessing we'll wait to deal with that."

Owen recalls a bit of lore from an oric raid a while ago. could it be related?

Mack: returns from his nightly sojourn tired and a bit loopy...well loopier than usual, he can't even get his monks robe on correctly. Mack is Fatigued.
Fatigued: A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a –2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become exhausted. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued.

Atlas: is still curious about the tree dreams, but is always up for action.

Armand: Sensibly suggests that they tell tree security whats going on, Miles is thankful to hear the warning and begins to make arrangements for extra security for the race.

‘Osul: tells about what he saw outside the tree.

Elyngael is ready to get on the move.

Yurr'Neshi so is 'Neshi"

breakfast plans are made, the crew heads out. in a bit more than an hour, they find the trail that the orcs and ogres left earlier. it's much easier to follow in the daylight. 'Osul and Mack pick the trail up with no problem. The trail passes the tree and begins to curve slightly to the north from the eastern track it was following. 'Osul notices something, there are fresher tracks of a running bugbear to the side and on top of the older tracks. after a few more hours you come to an Orc camp, it's cold, looks to have been abandoned a few hours ago, the tracks leading away show that the orcs were running, North West....straight toward the Tree of Parting.

"Elyngael! The bugbear arrived later at the encampment - it's trail is fresher!" He nods in agreement with Atlas and Armand, before saying, "Owen, that might work, but you're going to have to catch them both first!"
He shifts into the shape of a large air elemental and heads off Tree-ward in search of parts of the small horde.

Elyngael and Khan run past the Tree northeast to where Osul saw the bugbear tracks. "Why didn't he tell me if he had already seen bugbear tracks?

How could Osul have taken us back to the Tree without telling us everything? Or warning the others?" Elyngael asks Khan as they quickly arrive at the cold Orc camp.

Elyngael rationalizes that because both she and Osul didn't see anything that some sort of magic is being used to hide the creatures.

a man can walk around 1 mile in just about 15 minutes, that's assuming he's walking around a football track and is doing nothing but walking. the tracks were just over an hour from the tree, call it 6 miles. Tracking slows you down as does walking through deep grass and uneven terrain. the party is currently about 7 miles from the tree give or take. it was assumed that 'Osul shared the knowledge of the bugbear tracks with the party. you tracked the horde about 4 miles as their track paralleled the tree. Elyngael if you were running back to the tree to check things or running back to check tracks you are going to be a few hours, does this help?

'Osul turned into a air elemental and flew off. I have Owen teleporting with Elengael, Kahn and since he was taking casters either Armand or 'Neshi. of course he could leave Kahn with the warriors and take both and since Elyngael is a Ranger she might want to stay on the ground. we should probably clear that up with this next post before we go any further. Owen can take three people. please state who all is teleporting and who is staying behind. except for 'Osul everybody is up for the spell.

Elyngael was not 'near' the main group when the signal came as she was checking tracks further out. Take Atlas in the teleport. Elyngael will run with Khan. If she needs to get back quicker maybe the giant dire bat will again appear and she can ride. But since that would take out one of the spell casters she'll run with Khan. There may be a spell caster or something behind the group directing actions.

Owen rings the bell and shouts magically to get himself heard, Miles has done good work with these folks, about 15 people including miles race up the main lift and Hiflanyl Ilyndrathyl works the mechanisms that pull the lift up, bows begin to appear from within houses and soon half the populace is standing in strategic places arrows knocked and looking for trouble. a quarter of the folks are setting out medical supplies and wheeling out barrels of arrows for the bowmen. the other quarter equips themselves with spetums and positions themselves to quickly react to attempts to climb up the tree. in less than 5 minutes the tree went from a welcoming open place to a bristling fortress of death.

Mack: it's an easy track to follow, the horde is not attempting to cover their trail.

Atlas: stands confused as parts of the party take off via teleport, parts run back to check tracks and others forge on ahead.

Armand: finds himself at the ToP, staring in stunned silence as the tree quickly takes on a war footing.

‘Osul: lays down his web spell and suddenly a whole passel of orcs become visible, most are entangled in the webs but 4 are not. something large and moving behind the orcs stumble into the tangled ones and lashes out at them for their clumsiness, it pops the spell and 4 ogres are revealed. The column is thrown into chaos. suddenly from above, you are hit by 5 glowing darts of force. you take 16 points of damage! above and to the right of you a figure appears to be flying, having dropped it's invisibility to cast a spell at you.

Elyngael tracks at a run toward the horde.

Yurr'Neshi Yes, you smell the stink of orc, ogre and bugbear, but also cloves and patchouli, something that has an inkling about personal hygiene is travelling with the horde.

Well first off Armand was not staring in stunned silence. As stated several posts ago, Armand was headed down to the lowest level of the tree. His intention was to get to the lowest level that would provide him with the longest view outward, unblocked by branches or leaves. If that would be the ground then that was his target area.

Secondly, since Elyngael elected not to be teleported and Owen's Teleport spell had capacity, Atlas should have been teleported to the Tree. He was with Armand and Owen as we waited for a signal from 'Osul. So I am going to assume he's here at the Tree as well.

Armand will orient himself to face toward 'Osul's location. He will scan the area to see what 'Osul is dipping toward.

As the trackers run along, Neshi passes on that they are definitely on the trail of a large group of orc, ogres and bugbear, as well as something else perhaps a bit more refined, that may be leading them, maybe an ogre magi is Yurr'Neshi's first thought.

(sorry guys, I get Armand and Atlas confused sometimes and even sometimes mix their stories in ways that only make sense to me. It seems that once again I have caused confusion here, this round will be spent trying to straighten thing out).

Armand You arrived via teleport on the lowest level of the tree of parting, the branches you are on are about 25 to 30 ft up in the air. once you arrived you found the tree dwellers lining the branches and rails watching the race progress. when the alarm tripped, there was a flurry of movement and the folk on the ground raced up the main lift and the lift was drawn up after them. If you wish to be on the ground, you will need to take a ladder lift, which will take a few rounds to get into operation you do not see a bad guy anywhere, but you do see from your location a dot on the horizon about a mile away, you see 5 glowing lights coming from the dot. make a DC 15 check against Knowledge Arcana, Dungeoneering or Intelligence (magic users only have to make a DC 11 check) Highlight to display spoiler: {it's the unmistakable glow of Magic Missiles flying through the air and impacting something}.

'Osul your Entagle spell got a lot more of the baddies than you thought. the Ogers that ran into the Orcs, 3 of the 4 were caught as well as 1 bugbear. you do not know how many more remain invisible, but there is a robed figure up and to your right lobbying magic Missiles at you. The Tree is about a mile away(you can see it clearly from where you are at.) and you think that the rest of the party is about 2000 to 2500 ft behind you.

all the rest of you tracking the party and not at the tree, you see 5 flashes a little over 1/4 of a mile away up in the air. make a DC 15 check against Knowledge Arcana, Dungeoneering or Intelligence (magic users only have to make a DC 11 check) Highlight to display spoiler: {it's the unmistakable glow of Magic Missiles flying through the air and impacting something}.

since this was an explanation, this is still the last round.

The wardens pour on the speed, With Armands fly spell and everyone else's quickness the crew makes it to the scene just as the wizard is getting the last of his troops free from the entanglement spell. There is a whole passel of orcs 4 ogres 4 goblins and one bugbear that you can see. They are waiting for you and begin to toss javelins Air elemental Owen is busy flying around in a circle and randomly throwing lightning bolts every few seconds. (and he will be for another round after this one.

'Neshi is outside the attack zone so he takes no damage and is not part of the attack.

everybody else who has engaged the horde if your AC is equal to or less than the To hit dice I have rolled roll a 1d4 for each instance. on a roll of 4 on the dice you are hit with a javelin or an arrow. the last 7 entries +10 and +9 are a longbow 1d6 and a shortbow 1d4 respectively all others are Javelin at 1d4. wasted shots that do not result in a 4 on the roll will be seen as having hit someone with better armour. Yes, it is possible for all shots to miss. Yes, it is possible to be hit multiple times. Yes, it is also possible for a used to hit roll to be used by another person to be hit yet again. This reflects the chaotic and random effect of volly fire. it can be of little effect or it can be quite deadly.

1 - I guess the DM assumes the spellcasters would not prep some spells when they were in sight range to see what was going on.
2 - Armand would not close to more than 70 feet as most of his spells are medium range or better, that puts the Javelin's at -4 for 2 range increments.
3 - 6 potential hits, all from arrows, 1 hits, a short bow Armand takes 4hp damage.
4 - they shot/threw at us, they should be visible now, plus the duration for invisibility is not great.

Armand casts Holy Smite and targets a mass of Orcs to get the maximum potential from the 20 foot radius of the spell. Damage 24 (4d8). Will save of 18 for half damage. Will save also applies to avoid being blinded for one round.

Alright. I've agonized over this post for the past 24 hrs. you guys are approaching an armed orc horde around 50 total strength. I was going to hold you all to the run moves you had posted in the last post before engagement. 'Neshi, and Owen had stated that they were going to stop at predefined distances. the rest of you ran on. The orcs are spread such that things like flame strike and fireball won't get more than 4 or 5 of them. I ran combat numbers last night and with flanking bonus, the guys on the ground in this encounter probably won't last 3 rounds. This was meant to be a one-off combat to pass the time until Rob got the next module done. With the way you all are trying to engage this horde it will most probably mean the death of everybody on the ground. I feel that perhaps I did not make the danger of this horde evident enough to you in earlier posts. I'm going to back this combat up to the round just before you all meet the horde. 'Osul still has three rounds of his confusion to put up with, the orcs never hit you with a volley of javelins. if you wish to cast buffs or make other changes in this round before we meet the horde please do them now. This promises to be a hard dirty fight if you take them on the ground.

Owen shouts to the other Wardens: "Let's work our way back towards the Tree! Take care, everyone!"

After casting his first Fireball, Owen has continued to fly towards the approaching horde, now at only 60 feet per round. He drops three fireballs on any concentrations of the enemy that he sees. Let me know if he gets within 200 feet of the enemy caster. Counting my earlier roll, the three fireballs deal 26, 39, and 31 Fire damage, respectively. Reflex DC 18 for half damage.

Since Owen is stopping a ways off from the battle, Armand will quickly speak to him.

"Owen, we need to herd the approaching orcs and what-not toward the Tree. Miles has a kill zone set up. Do you have any way to contact the others that could not teleport with us?"

Armand will cast entropic shield and then continue to double move at maximum fly speed. His goal is to go over (well over) the battle to get to the other side and the rest of the party.

OOC Shouldn't the tracking rolls we made way back have told us the difference between tracking what was first billed as a party of orcs and maybe an ogre to a horde of orcs, etc.? I mean its a difference of -4 to the target number and -16 to the target number (-1 for every 3 creatures in the party being tracked, and that's assuming all are only medium sized) With that modifier we almost don't even have to make the roll to track.

Elyngael slows to normal speed with Khan and calls out to Atlas and Yurr'Neshi and calls out loudly enough to get their attention. "Hey guys, what we're tracking is larger than it should be. I mean look at these tracks.

Atlas slows his pace so that he is following the horde at the same place as they are going, but about 400' behind them. Unless they are specifically watching behind themselves for some reason then they shouldn't even know he is there.

Owen your first fireball toasts 5 orcs, your second 2 and your third 3, like I said they are spread out and spread out even further to keep spellcasters minimized.

Atlas: slows down when they get near the horde

Armand: continues on towards the horde, high and out of range you see a powerful bolt of lightening flash from the wizard (which shows you exactly where he is) towards an air elemental 'Osul.

eOsul: the Wizard screams at the flame strike and then launches his own attack at you. a bolt of lightening hits you for 51 points of damage DC19 reflex save for half damage.

Elyngael OOC:(I never said exactly how many orcs, I just said a passle of orcs. once you get to a certain number it's almost impossible to get exact numbers by tracking anyway, and who knows they may have been covering their tracks.

Yurr'Neshi ?

the Tree wardens take stock, and wisely decide it's not the best idea to rush head long into a force much larger than themselves.

Those high enough, see clearly the wizard cast lightning at 'Osul. and begin to direct the horde away from the tree! and back the way they came...unfortunatly, thats back along the same track that the rest of the party is on!

Friday August 17th, 2018 5:18:54 PM
OOC - a 15d6 fireball is illegal. The spell tops out at 10d6. See page 283 of the Core Rule Book.

Armand contemplates catching 'Osul as he falls to the ground, from said fireball above. However, as 'Osul is currently in Air Elemental form, there's not much to really catch. Armand hurriedly flies to the group on the other side of the horde. He signals them as he lands.

'Osul may is injured and the horde is turning this way away from the Tree. However, I've got a plan. I can enact a spell like ability. It will make the individual members of the horde have to make a will save to attack us, as long as we don't attack. So hold a readied action for anything that gets within 30 feet of me and attacks us. We can work our way toward 'Osul. Remember ignore anything that doesn't attack us first."

Armand activate Divine Presence when the first member of the Horde is 60 feet away. Will Save 17 to even notice us to be able to attack.
Divine Presence (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of divine presence for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All allies within this aura are treated as if under the effects of a sanctuary spell with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is a standard action.

Sanctuary Any opponent attempting to directly attack the warded creature, even with a targeted spell, must attempt a Will save. If the save succeeds, the opponent can attack normally and is unaffected by that casting of the spell. If the save fails, the opponent can’t follow through with the attack, that part of its action is lost, and it can’t directly attack the warded creature for the duration of the spell. Those not attempting to attack the subject remain unaffected. This spell does not prevent the warded creature from being attacked or affected by area of effect spells. The subject cannot attack without breaking the spell but may use nonattack spells or otherwise act.

The orcs do not make an orderly retreat, whatever the mage in charge said the retreat turns into a rout. if anyone wishes they can get an AOO against opponents passing through their position, which will, in turn, initiate combat with that opponent and perhaps draw another orc into combat as well. or you can either hunker down or move laterally to their path and avoid engagement at all.

Owen ties to catch the mage, but was not expecting the haste with which he buggeds out. you can chase him if you wish, but a stern chase is a long chase and you are chasing a numerically superior force

Atlas: hnnker down as Orcs, Ogres goblins and bugbears stream past. You get the feeling that they were relying on surprise and invisibility for their attack, and the fact that they lost both advantages tilted the balance

Armand: 'Osul floats gently to the ground, as only an air elemental can. while your channel does not do a whole lot it does bring him back to positive and consciousness.

Osul: regains consciouness

Elyngael move laterally to get out of the hordes way.

Yurr'Neshi holds his ground.

The Horde streams away, leaving behind the dead from confused 'Osul's attacks. 3 orcs and 1 goblin.

OOC; I think it has hit all of us who have been around with Mack pretty hard that he has departed. He certainly lent a sense of whimsy, chaos and fun to the game. I was frankly at a loss as to how to give him an honourable exit from the game. kudos and a hero point to Armand for picking up the mantle and giving our friend an honourable, effective and soap opera esq departure. this isn't good bye, it's more like see ya later. once he gets his computer issues fixed we will see that crazy halfling yet again.

The bodies of the attackers have a few things in common. similar clothes. the orcs have 3 gp a piece while the goblin who was dressed a bit better has 65 gp on him. He also has a very nice shortbow, 20 arrows in a nice quiver with 5 of the arrows separated from the rest. He has a couple of thunderstones and 3 smokesticks. 4 tindertwigs, some really nice leather armour 6 potions 4 or which are identical to each other and smell strongly of Alchemists fire, and 2 that are quite different than each other.

the orcs gear and weapons are all of poor quality but the two of them have a small bag each with a residue of dust in the bottom of it. they also each have a crest...it's a symbol you have seen before...

"Meanwhile, it is getting rather tall and heavy (cumbersome, maybe?), sooner rather than later would be strongly advised. Remember, The Sapling and The Seed were provided so we would continue to communicate with The Tree (an aspect of The Tree?) while it slumbers. If we are going to consult with it, it need to be close by The Tree. This might be close enough, what do you all think?"
"On the other hand, I thought it would make some sense for The Seed to be planted where The Tree originally departed, as depicted in the painting from the satyr..."

the area secure, the Wardens make their way back to the Tree of Parting. during the walk, they discuss the seed and the sapling and what should be done with them.

Miles follows you all to your house. What all did you see out there? he asks. then shakes his head. No...lets get to that in a minute. guys we are alone here, surrounded by hostile parties on all sides and we are the only source of succor for many miles. There is no garrison, and we are visible for miles around. We've been attacked by roving bands before. The best way to fight them is from the boughs of this tree, we can hit them at will and they can't hit us up here for spit. I admire you all for "talking the fight to the enemy" and all but it wasn't necessary, let them come to us. if one of you had been killed, it would have been a foolish death! . he huffs out a breath, nods, then looks up. now...what did you see out there?

"Point taken Miles." Armand says.

"However, in this case there was a lot of 'not being seen.' It looks like whoever was out there was using dust of disappearance and dust of tracelessness to get close to the tree. When I got there, it appeared there were many orcs and some ogres and bugbears in the mess. From the gear we found it looks like they belong to the same clan, something with 3 dots as a herald." He pauses. "Perhaps 'Osul can give more details he was the closest."

For the benefit of Miles, 'Osul recaps the previous late afternoon and evening, and their findings from this morning. The items and armor marked with the three dots are presented.
"The horde was invisible and traceless. Had they gotten through the longer grass unspotted they could have apporached un-noticed... And too late we discovered they were working in league with a flying, invisible spellcaster. This was not our usual ground based foes here."

Miles keeps quiet as the Wardens lay out there concerns. he then points out that besides some of the current guests of the tree like Misbender and Inger, many of the permanent residences have a bit of spell power. there are alarm spells and various other means to detect advancing enemies and it's not like we havent had a spell caster or two come after us we've taken steps. what steps those are, he does not say.

Atlas listens to acknowledges the wisdom of Mile's words, "Your plan makes sense, as always. I will heed your words to the best of my ability. However, it is clear from the symbol that we keep seeing that someone is out there building an army. Can the Tree withstand an army? I know that it is a wondrous and powerful thing, and the people here are courageous, but I think it might be time for us to act as Wardens and get to the bottom of this mysterious symbol we keep seeing."

Armand finds himself wondering with all the defenses that Miles has described, what does the Tree need with the Wardens. But then again where were all these defenses when those crazed Treants and demon elementals attacked the tree shortly before the whole red vine/sargrassi adventure took place.

He perks up, ignoring Miles. "Yes 'Osul we need to get that sapling planted before it's no longer a sapling. Where do you think we should plant it?"

miles sticks around to listen in as the crew discusses where to plant the tree. he speaks up.

My dad was a forester all his life. he taught me much about trees. kind of how I wound up here. I had to go my own way as a soldier, but the tree of parting gives me a connection to my father. He told me that as a rule of thumb if you know how tall the tree is going to get, you need to plant other trees at least that far from each other. it keeps them out of each other's light, and they don't compete for water and nutrients as much. .

Atlas is on board with Neshi, "I like Miles' suggestion, lets just plant it a distance equal to the height of the Tree of Parting in some direction. I would vote for East, along the route from the cities, but honestly, I don't have a strong opinion on it and will go with whatever the group decides. I'm going to go back to see James and get ready to travel. We'll do the planting when we leave."

Turning to Miles, "Can we have someone from the Tree provide some magical assistance to help it get started and protect it from those that would do harm? Maybe a ward or something?"

Atlas finds his way back to the group, astonished that nothing is decided yet. " 'Osul, I do agree with you, but at this rate it will be another month before we manage to get this done. Hopefully you don't take offense to this..." Atlas goes to the tree, picks it up and starts heading north. "El, you said north or south right? I'm going north then, closer to the Culverwood. Anyone can join if they wish, it will only be a short walk, maybe half a kilometer or so. It will probably be something grand to talk about in 10 years when this amazing tree is grown to full height and people are living here too. Please do yell up to the locals, I'm sure they can catch up. I'll walk slow."

As Atlas walks he talks to himself and anyone else that might be within earshot, "We'll have to come up with a name. Tree of Parting II isn't fitting. Hmm, what about The Tree of Life, or The Peace Tree, or maybe The Saint Tree...hmm, something here is bound go catch on. It is a living thing, and if the Tree of Parting can be the judget, it seems to have some will of its own, at least the Tree of Parting did when it attacked the attackers that one day. It takes care of the people and animals like a loving parent or grand parent. And yet, this tree is new, so is it like a new born babe with a huge weight on its shoulders, or is it just an extension of the existing Tree of Parting and inherits its wisdom and desire for good? Or is the Tree of Parting actually just a plant and neutral on things going on in the wold. I don't think so, it gives me a feeling...back to naming. The Sacred Tree, The Skyward Tree, The Tree of Innocence, The Tree of Virtue, oh, I like that one." Atlas goes on and on as he waits to see who catches up. The tree is getting heavy, but he didn't spend the last few years of his life defeating monsters to let a little tree get the best of him.

leave it to Atlas to break an impass with action and purpose. as he walks he is joined by other member of the tree, boolia and Ryan Inger help Atlas carry the tree, soon all the tree dwellers are on the floor, each helping atlas, to carry the tree. It seems everyone wants to have a small part in the new tree. something to tell the grandkids about. About a kilometer and a half from the tree of parting, a strong wind blows against you, strong enough that you stop. everyone looks around. it's a slight hill, a small stream flows at it's base. the shadow from the Tree of parting bearly reaches here in midwinter, and never during the other seasons. what is more the place feels right, almost as if the tree itself is saying "right here"

someone thought to bring spades and soon a hole is dug, once again everybody takes a shovel of dirt out the hole, Miles Lilliput and Hiflanyl kind of take on the role of master Arborists and provide good direction and advice on how to plant the tree. from how to handle the root ball to how to tie it out till it's roots take good hold. they put together a plan to keep it watered until the roots can reach down to the water table. Miles even arranges for a patrol to come out here to keep an eye on it. once the tree is planted it's a thing of beauty. it's like a picture the very definition of "the tree on the hill" and dosen't it already look bigger?

We have done our duty, and thanks to Miles, Lilliput, and Hiflanyl we have a plan to ensure that this new tree grows to it's full potential. While I haven't spoken with the others about this, I am sure they will agree. As the Wardens of the Tree of Parting you can be assured that we will extend our protection to this new tree as well." Atlas looks about sheepishly, not really meaning for that to come off as a speech or anything.

"Head back? Or are we having a picnic now?"

He speaks to Atlas. "Well said. I think we should head back. It's getting late and we need to rest. Then we need to decide where or what to do next. We've been stagnating for awhile here doing nothing really."

Armand pauses and then continues when other Wardens are also nearby to hear.
"Granted that apparently several months have passed since the whole meteor, red vines, Sargrassy jaunt occurred. But we've got several things to consider. 1 - What happened in Plateau city, before Maab yanked us out of there it seemed that some secret group had designs on the town. 2 - Some giants were attacking the local country side between the Tree and Plateau City, wiping out towns and what not. Granted that may have been tied into the whole shebang with the secret organization in Plateau City. 3 - Owen's back but he originally left to go check his family and never made it. Maybe we should help him in checking what's going on with them. Perhaps they need to be transplanted to the Tree where Owen can spend more time with them."

after the planting several folks head back to the ToP. while a few stay and bask in the quiet pride and wonder of planting a new MegaTree on the plains. 'Osul finds that meditation comes easily to him here, a calming peace of mind, like setting with an old friend and stalwart protector at the same time.

back at the tree food is prepared and baskets sent out to the folk staying by the tree, only 'Osul spends the night in quiet contemplation. The food is good. bacon wrapped and pecan-crusted pork tenderloin, spiced green beans, carrots and some kind of pungent sauce that perfectly pairs with the rest of the meal.

'Osul prepares for dawn. The focus for this mornings meditation is clear - the newly planted Sapling.
With the arrival of the rays of light, 'Osul casts Speak with Plants, and asks The Sapling their impression of their new home, and if it is comfortable. Eventually, he offers to cast Plant Growth (Enrichment) on the top of the hill, whether or not it directly benefits The Sapling. He leaves a clean hill behind him as he returns to The Tree.

"It just so happens that I do. If we look at each instance we can see that they seem to be coming from somewhere to the north east. We should see if we can get a message to the Emerald City to see if they have encountered it at all, but my guess is that it will be further east."

Atlas asks the folks of the Tree if someone can communicate with Emerald City for them and ask the question.

--------------------------------------------------------
ooc: DMs, what do you want us to roll to see if we know what direction we should be going? We've had enough encounters with this symbol that I'm guessing we should have a good idea of where to start looking.

Is this the symbol associated with the consortium? (PC might remember but I certainly don't) IIf so I am certainly up for getting back after them. I know we had that prisoner but then he was killed but didn't we get some information anyway back at the jail, just before MAAB grabbed us?

Dispel Magic would help with either the flight or the invisibility, once we can see them. Conjuration isn't my specialty, but Glitterdust would be helpful for a little while. The best option is probably a Druid spell, 'Osul: Faerie Fire. That will light them up for all to see."

"Actually, if we have to fight a spellcaster like that again, I have some tricks prepared..."

The group mulls a few different ideas, but one thing is for certain, you are heading out. You pack your bags and prepare for the long journey, with a stop at the place where the encounter happened to possibly speak with the dead. James assists you in your preparations, prepares your horses that have been returned from the city (for those of you that want to ride), and assures that all will be well. The people of the Tree wish you safe hunting.

You are only about 500 feet out from the canopy of the tree when you see a strange shimmer to the air in the distance, like you would see when looking off into the distance in the hot desert, but it appears to be substantial, like you could touch it if you walked up to it. It encompasses everything to the north, whether you look to the left or right, it appears to be spread ahead of you. The horses and any other animals with you make a little noise and seem uneasy when they see the wall.

You are about 100 feet from the shimmering wall and it stretches up and out in both directions as far as the eye can see. You don't feel any change in the environment and if you step back it disappears. It only appears once you are within 100 feet. If you are riding, walking, or flying you all have the same experience.

The group gives a collective sigh at another hurdle preventing them from attaining their goals. 'Osul, Armand, Owen, as you study the wall you sense that it is more than a magical field. There is no known mortal magic that could create something so massive that it would go as far as the eye can see in all directions. Your thoughts are confirmed when Armand's detect magic spell results in nothing. Armand, you have the sense that this could be something divine, but if it is your knowledge does not provide any clues as to what it could be.

As 'Osul, Armand, and Owen study the wall, and Elyngael lets her frustration be known, Neshi picks up a rock and throws it at the wall. The moment before it hits she sees a dragonfly cross in front of it and fly into the wall. When the dragonfly touches the shimmer there is a flash, you cannot tell if it is a physical flash or a mental flash, but you blink your eyes involuntarily and you see that you are as you were moments before, just when you were about to cross into the area where you could see the shimmering wall. You have the memory of what happened, but you appear to be exactly as you were a few seconds prior to crossing that threshold.

'Osul, you cannot sense the dogs that you had started to summon. It is as if your spell never completed before the dragonfly crossed the threshold. However, you do remember sensing animals on the other side of the shimmering wall prior to the disruption.

You stand about 110ft from where you think the wall was, 10ft from where you think you crossed the invisible line that let you see the shimmering wall. You look about and all seems normal from your vantage point, except for the sense of 'how the heck did I end up back here' that you are left with after the flash. There is a slight sense of dread that seeps in as you consider that the sapling is on the other side of that wall, off in the distance.

Ugh, I'm with El, I just want to get on with our adventure and get past these stupid diversions. It is like the Wold is punishing us for some reason. Shouldn't it be happy we planted the next great wonder?"

Atlas takes a deep breath, tries his best to get over his whining, and looks to the others for help. "Any ideas? You all are the experts when it comes to magic and the divine. Although, I'm more than happy to try running into if if you think it will help. Then again, maybe it is gone, I'll check" Atlas walks forward about 15 feet to see if he can see the shimmering wall again.

Neshi walks back up toward the line where they could see the shimmer and looks at it from several different angles even going so far as to do a sniff test to see if he smells anything different about the area or not. Looking where the dragonfly was, Neshi tries to remember what happened to the dragon fly, did it pass through something?, was it flash fried?, He even goes so far as to look for dragon fly remains on the ground.

Monday September 10th, 2018 12:14:40 PM
As a group you look about and all seems the same. Elyngael, you see that the Tree is behind you and it appears that you could just go home with no trouble at all.

The Sapling is still over a kilometer away to the north. As you enter into the area again the wall does re-appear and further arcane investigation indicates that this is not a spell of any kind and not likely due to magic. This would lead to the assumption that it is either divine or something else entirely. Those with knowledge of Astral planes are unsure if this could be something related to that.

'Osul, as you look about you see what you believe is that same dragonfly flying about. It buzzes about quickly, but doesn't approach the shimmer again. Instead it lands on Neshi's back.

Armand, you continue to dig as the group goes about trying to figure things out. One would imagine that a wall of this size would extend into the ground as well, but it is worth a shot. However, it seems that life isn't always as one would expect. You take a breath and stab your shovel into the ground a final time thinking that it has to touch the wall if it extends down, but nothing happens. It was delicate work ensuring that your elbows, head, and other body parts didn't touch while you were shoveling, but sure enough, after you clear some dirt away you notice that the wall sits about 6 inches above the ground, right about where the grass rises up and almost touches it. It was nearly impossible to see before, but as the dirt falls away and the grass lowers, sure enough, the wall stops.

Owen, as you watch the group you pick up a rock since no one else did. You're thinking about throwing it as you watch Armand finish digging, but you notice a flock of geese above flying straight towards the wall. Unfortunately you see them too late to take action and they fly directly into the wall.

Flash, you all are back to where you were before entering the area where you could see the shimmering wall. Owen, you look up to see the geese flying where you would have assumed they were when they entered the area. Their formation scatters and they seem confused. A couple geese manage to fly straight north still and it is only a matter of a few seconds before they disappear from view and reappear where they were again. You cannot see the wall, but you assume based on their positions that they flew into it again. This time around it is enough to cause them to fly in a different direction. They form up again and head south.

Neshi, you catch 'Osul watching you and notice that he is looking at the dragonfly on your back. You remember watching the dragonfly approach the wall and there was the mental flash, but you don't remember exactly what happened to the dragonfly when it touched. The only conclusion you can draw is that the moment the dragonfly touched the wall you had the mental flash, therefore there was no way to see what happened to it. However, inspection of the ground in the general area you think it touched shows no trace of it.

Atlas, you continue to be flabbergasted as you depend on the others for their knowledge. No one suggests running through it, so there is that.

Atlas looks a bit ashamed, "Armand, next time let me do the digging. I'm here for that type of stuff, you shouldn't tax yourself so much."

"Well, based on what Armand found, we could just dig under it. However, I worry about leaving the people of the Tree here without the ability to get to the Sapling, or anything to the north really. Granted, maybe the solution is on the other side? I'll do the rest of the digging."

If the group is up for it, Atlas shakes off the latest flash and starts to dig a big enough hole for everyone to crawl through, even if they don't want to go through, it would be good to have it there."[/b]

Armand looks to where he was digging the hole. Can he tell if the hole is still there or if it 'reset' when the geese hit the 'wall'?

"I'm not convinced it is a time-thing, but I'm all for keeping together.", he adds with a nod to Elyngael, "But next time you want digging done, let me know so I can find something that makes quicker work... or I could just...

As you all discuss options, Armand looks over to where the hole was and sees that it is as if he never picked up a shovel. Atlas would have to start from scratch, but that will be a lot easier now with 'Osul's softening of the ground.

However, the group seems intent on trying to see where this shimmering wall might end, more so than what is on the other side anyway. After a brief discussion you decide to head east. It doesn't take more than 50 feet when something triggers the wall again and all of you are back to where you started. Using common sense the group decides to travel east outside of the wall's effect this time.

Periodically you walk into the area (on purpose and by mistake) and one or more of you see the wall again, ensuring that you are on the right track. It is perilous work checking on the wall since no one knows what will happen if only one of you are in the area when something goes through it. However, before fate can show you, you see something on the horizon.

Up ahead you see what appear to be humanoid figures. From this distance it is hard to tell anything about them. Maybe 3 or 4? You cannot tell what race they are or what they are doing, but you can see that they stand right about where the wall would be and are busy moving around. Before you take action you see them disappear and reappear about 100 feet from where they were. They seem to be suffering from the same thing you did.

You are far enough away that they haven't seen you, but also you cannot really see them all that well either.

After some discussion, and the suggestion that maybe they should revisit the Tree, the group decides to get a closer look. As one, you move in that direction and at one point there appears to be a nice long stretch where those figures are not bounced out. If at any point you are in the area of effect and the figures get bounced out, you end up getting bounced out as well, back to the last point where you entered and could see the shimmering wall. The time you spend in the area of effect is not long enough to watch the sun move, so it is hard to say exactly what is happening. However, the feeling you are given is that when you are bounced out time is reset for anything that was in the field of influence, but everything outside of it appears that it is not impacted.

Eventually you make progress and get close enough to notice that it is 2 boys and a girl. One boy appears to be older, maybe 12ish, the other two appear to be around 8 years old. They are human, and they are wearing clothing you would expect from farmer's children, but they are covered in dirt that has made streaks down their faces from what appear to be both tears and sweat.

You can also now see that they are clearly trying to dig a hole under the wall. As you approach, the boys seem to hurry with their digging while the girl yells at them, although you can't hear exactly what she is saying. The hole appears to be big enough now for one to fit through. Sure enough the younger boy starts to scoot through as you get closer. The larger boy turns to face you with his back to the hole and the girl moves behind him. She is urging her little brother through the hole and you clearly sense worry in her voice.

Atlas laughs at what Owen says, "Thank you Owen, but you really do think more of me than you should. I plan to assume they are hostile until we get closer and see for sure that they are not." Atlas dismounts from his horse and walks the beast so that he can more quickly defend himself if the need arises.

All appears to be for naught though when they see the kids. "It's just some kids. Looks like they are having some luck with the digging this time." As they approach Atlas leaves the area of influence and enters back in so that if they are bounced again he doesn't end up further away.

As they approach Atlas puts on his most un-scary face and says to the kids, "Hey there, no need to be scared. Are you OK?"

You all put on your most kind and welcoming faces for these children, doing your best to appraise the situation and help them in any way that you can. The younger boy has made it through the small channel they dug and he shouts back to the others, "Come on, hurry up before something touches the wall!" The girl quickly turns and starts to crawl under the wall as you realize that sound is traveling through the shimmering wall as if it wasn't even there.

The older boy responds to your questions as he takes a step backwards towards the wall. He seems very cautious and his voice cracks a little as he starts to speak, "Hello good people. We were, um, we were looking for our bugbear, he ran this way and then the wall went up between us. He kept running while we kept being forced back." The boy takes a peek behind him to see how the girl is doing before continuing.

"We are not hurt or anything, just frustrated. If you don't mind, we're going to try and get through this wall before we get sent back again." With that he turns to try and follow the girl, who is halfway under the wall right now.

You don't recognize the children, but you do know that there are farms in the area. You sense that the kids are nervous and in a hurry, but you are unable to tell if it is due to the wall or something else. You are on the fence on whether or not you believe their story. Neshi and Elyngael, you notice that the boy on the other side of the shimmering wall has something stashed away in his shirt. You cannot tell what it is, but his shirt is larger in the front and it isn't because he has grown a beer belly at this young age. The boy is moving a lot trying to encourage the others to get through, so you are not sure if the moment you see in that spot of his shirt is moving on its own or just due to his movement.

As all this is going on, you notice that the shimmering wall is starting to take on color, or rather a mix of color, like a muted rainbow of colors across the surface. It is still completely transparent, just a very slight hue thus far.

Atlas, as always, starts to wonder what the kids could be up to. However, this time he shows good restraint. Instead of doing something rash, he looks to Armand for direction, smirking to show that he is being a good little fighter.

You all clearly sense that something is amiss. Two children are now through to the other side and the oldest is on the verge of diving through the hole, but before he does a sense of resignation crosses his face and you see tears start to form in his eyes. "We did have a bugbear, we raised him from when he was little, but he's dead now. An old witch killed him and said that if we didn't take a plant to some new tree by a stream that she would kill us too. She put a curse on us and said we would turn black and get boils on us while we died a horrible death if we didn't have it there by tomorrow. Len there has it under his shirt. Can you help us?"

As the boy tells the story Len pulls out the plant and you can see that it is a small vine like plant, but before your eyes it starts to whither and blacken. The girl wails in grief, presumably assuming that they are next to blacken and whither.

You do notice that she looks a little older than she did, and when you look at Len he seems more like 12 now than 8. They are aging on the other side of the wall!

With no strong concerns, 'Osul reenters the conversation, after getting Armand's attention. "A witch cursed you, you say? Where did you meet her? ... What did she look like? ..."
'Osul listens intently, and initially he doesn't think this is a witch, or at least not a curse on the kids. He does think whoever they are, they are a bully, and likely mean harm to The Sapling. If a curse can be identiified then that is beyond his abilities. He looks to the other wardens and asks, "So, who is our resident expert on curses and witches?".

seeing her brothers start to change the girl quickly slips beneath the wall as well. As she does so there is a flash of light, when it clears the hued wall is gone, the land has subtly changed and there is a small tree with a small mound directly below it at its base. three ghostly figures seem to be standing beneath the tree. a girl in her mid teens and two boys in their pre teens. As one they point to their feet, look up at you pleadingly and then look at the tree.

To everyone, "Is that the sapling we planted? Can anyone make out what they are pointing to on the ground? I guess we'll have to go over and talk to them. But stay close I may enact Death ward to protect us from negative energy when we get closer."

The tree is not the tree you planted, You recognize the tree though, it's one of the trees off to the left-hand side of the trail headed toward Plateau City, it's mostly hills and grassland, so the rare tree is worth note...it's about a half mile from the trail and about 10 miles away from the Tree of Parting.

at the base of the tree are the skeletal remains of three young humans, the roots of the tree sprout from the chest of one and weave through the chests of the other two. it's touching and pitiful at the same time, even in death two of the skeletons have hold of the hands of the one whose chest has sprouted the tree.

When 'Osul casts his spell the connection is odd. the tree has no sort of sentience not even plant sentience, but it is a plant, it has obviously been magically tampered with. its almost as if there are an array of options laid out in your mind. Add...withdraw...release...consume...cancel...destroy. you sense a great deal of power within the tree...almost like its a receptacle or something. how the power got there, what it can be used for, and who put it there are other questions not answered by the tree.

Armand you notice something strange as well. the kids aren't ghosts..they are souls. The tree looks/feels/smells? like some kind of soul jar

Powerful doesn't mean inherently evil, so can someone, please, check to see if this actually is evil, or good.

Armand notices that the tree really is a tree, but it’s also a construct, like a golem would be the closest approximation you could come up with, you don’t really have words for it. It’s like a magical cistern that you throw living things into and it converts them into magical energy. The energy in it is neither positive (good) or negative (evil). It just is. The mechanism by which it works though...that’s pretty evil. The kids aspects realize you cannot hear them and start pantomiming chopping the tree down

IC: Owen realizes that if the kids were turned into energy long ago, there's nothing the group can do that will save them. They are no more, and magical energy is all that remains.

In a moment of inspiration, Owen realizes that he can seal away this foul artifact after it is destroyed, and in doing so honor the memory of the children. Looking about for a nearby boulder or rocky outcropping, he casts a spell he he has seen but never learned: Stone Shape. Using his knowledge of the arcane and his spellcrafting ability, Owen taps into the powerful flow of magical energy released by the construct and uses it to draw more and more stone from the earth, sculpting it into a towering statue that depicts the three children holding hands. The stone encases their remains and the broken construct used to destroy them.

Elygale's sword cuts the tree well, much better in fact that it should, Armands hammer shakes the tree tremendously and Owen draws the magical power from it via his connection with the speak with plants spell. the tree separates from the stump and a wash of light and power pour forth from the stump. no damage is gained by anyone but you can all feel tremendous magical energy pouring into the environment. enough that ancient events where things impacted the magical fabric of the world glow briefly as the energy passes

The souls of the children become almost real from the energy, they start to speak, but something catches their attention and a smile comes to their faces, they see beyond into the lands of rest, Mom! Dad! they raise their hands as if to embrace...and fade away.

the statue of the kids is a masterpiece, they look like they will move at any moment, they look happy, just like they looked before they faded away. you guess the spell must have drawn from the more than just your memory because the kid's clothes, now that you see them in stone, look strange...old...really old. you don't know how long the kids have been there, but it looks like it must be for hundreds of years...perhaps even fourth age.

every spell caster receives one spell slot for each spell level. you know that when you cast a spell it will be the first one gone and will be gone forever.

all non-casters get +10HP that work the same way as the spells. first gone and then gone forever.

ooc: guys I am deeply sorry it took so long for us to get to the next module, work, life and a lot of other stuff put the module late.
