Asteria Amarante [HP: 92/92; AC: 22; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Thursday September 6th, 2018 11:09:02 PM
Asteria grins as she watches the Archon talk with her sister, noting with a twinkle in her eye that it refused to give a name. She waits to see what Ethani does, thinking it may not be good to speak up and interrupt the two. She does, however, count through her gold to make sure that she can indeed help to pay for its service easily.
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Shield Other (Lornak), Planar Ally Friday September 7th, 2018 8:44:57 AM
Ethani bows a bit lower to the archon. "Sir, I must discuss this with my friends."
Turning to the others, Ethani raises a questioning eyebrow toward Asteria and her VERY LARGE pile of gold she was counting. "Uhhh...it looks like Asteria's got the payment if we want to go that route... Should we ask him to complete the mission for us or just scout the area?"
Ethani turns back to the archon, showing the reverence that is indeed due to the figure. "Sir, I must ask. If I asked for you to travel to the tower and search the area would that require less of your time? I know that you have other duties and I do not wish to take up more of your time than necessary."
Planar plans Friday September 7th, 2018 1:12:16 PM Bonus Post
The Hound Archon nods, "Travelling to the Tower and searching the area would require less time and would eliminate the need of combat and would thus lower the risk. I will scout the area about the tower and ruins and report back to you here for 5,000"

Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Friday September 7th, 2018 10:15:28 PM
Lornak hears the the bottom line of the exchange. Five K, thats a little high. He thinks it over and decides the information will be invaluable if the group were to manage taking the men alive. Lornak nods approvingly to Ethani.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 2/8) Friday September 7th, 2018 10:23:09 PM
Gaffer isn't too surprised by the amount given what Ethani told them about the spell. He wonders how likely the Archon would be to succeed in the full mission, but doesn't want to appear rude by asking.
"I can pay my part, I'd much rather find out what they have prepared at the cost of some gold, than our blood."
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 Saturday September 8th, 2018 12:31:16 AM
Toston says, "I'm going to have to borrow against the loot we got from the fight with the orcs and ogres, any other treasure we will find and the payment for this mission in order to chip in."
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25)Edr Elmt, Bls Str Saturday September 8th, 2018 10:33:42 AM
Hmerrin blinks at the price. This spell isn't nearly as awesome as it was ten seconds ago.
But, everyone else seems ok with it, so the lad raises his hands in mock surrender.
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:33/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Sunday September 9th, 2018 4:42:52 PM
Dušan is now wealthier than he could have imagined before meeting the rest of The Tide. Some times it does not even seem real to him. "As long as I can continue my reveries at Tombo's, I have no problem chipping in." Dušan begins counting coins and gems, "I can probably front Toston as well."
Asteria Amarante [HP: 92/92; AC: 22; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Sunday September 9th, 2018 10:18:49 PM
Asteria looks down at the pile of gold in front of her, then back at the group. "Uhhhh, I think I can pay for all of us? But I don't mind just chipping in."
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Shield Other (Lornak), Planar Ally Monday September 10th, 2018 7:12:00 AM
Ethani smiles as the gold is gathered. "Please scout the area and report back to us sir. We are keenly interested on whether any traps are set and what sort of defenses they might have. Any intelligence you can gather will be extremely helpful to us."
Presenting the 5000 go to the hound archon, Ethani bows almost to the ground. "Are you willing to help us, sir?"
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:33/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Monday September 10th, 2018 7:21:35 PM
Dušan awaits the beings reply. He considers what someone like from the planes needs with gold, but holds his own console not wanting to offend or trouble the negotiations.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 2/8) Monday September 10th, 2018 7:44:36 PM
Gaffer waits eagerly to see the being in action, watching them to see if they have any reaction to either the task or the gold.
Planar plans Monday September 10th, 2018 8:13:20 PM
The group puts together the gold and Ethani presents the final offer to the archon. The hound nods his agreement. "I will return here after locating the ruins and scouting the area about the tower." The Hound Archon then places the payment into a bag at his side that doesn't get noticeably bigger or more full. Turning to gauge the direction, he then simply vanishes.
The party is alone once again in the grove of trees that has been magically provided by Gaffer. An Alarm spell exists to a distance of 20' from the center of the grove. It is a few hours before midnight.
DMunless otherwise noted the Alarm is audible
What will be the routine of the night friends?
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Monday September 10th, 2018 9:19:34 PM
Lornak sits back and clasps his hands behind his head. With the Alarm spell up and no real need for a watch he just spends the time gazing at the wondrous starlit sky.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 92/92; AC: 22; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Monday September 10th, 2018 11:20:49 PM
Asteria chips in the gold before laying back down in the magical grove, resting beside a noticeably more peaceful Peri now that the Archon is gone. The two eventually drift off to sleep, feeling safe in the protection of the grove.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 Monday September 10th, 2018 11:50:14 PM
Toston finds a comfortable place to bed down and then goes to sleep.
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Shield Other (Lornak), Planar Ally Tuesday September 11th, 2018 8:17:06 AM
Sighing after a successful negotiation, Ethani stretches and then cuddles next to Lornak. "Well, hopefully that will be worth the gold." The sea-elf smiles coyly as she makes her way even closer onto Lornak's chest. "Well, now that we really don't have anything to do...shall we entertain ourselves?"
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:33/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Tuesday September 11th, 2018 6:47:28 PM
Dušan goes to bed early in order to make time to refresh his spells in the morning. Once done with that he keeps an eye out if anyone is still sleeping and if anyone is watching, allows them to get a little more rest.
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25)Edr Elmt, Bls Str d20+3=8 ; Tuesday September 11th, 2018 7:04:53 PM
"Um, will that alarm spell go off when the Angel Dog returns?" Hmerrin asks. "Cause telling everyone we're here might be a bad idea."
A Night in the Wilds Tuesday September 11th, 2018 9:02:37 PM
The Hound Archon is off and the rest of the party puts down bed rolls and goes to sleep. Well everyone except Hmerrin and Wilford. The hound archon knows the password and so upon his return, he hopefully remember and not set off the Alarm spell. Hmerrin and Wilford both decide that caution is the better part of living and so they each take a watch. Splitting up the night into 2 pretty long stints
It is on Wilford shift, that his eyes start playing tricks on him. Is that a glowing green light in the distance to the north west? The same general direction of the ruins supposed location and also the infamous Bone Tower. Wilford blinks a couple times to clear away any cobwebs and looks again. Yes there is definitely a glowing something out there. Distance is very hard to say in the dark Perception DC 30 Highlight to display spoiler: {It appears to be a humanoid being, medium height and it appears to be slowly closing on the grove. At least 300' away}
Toston sleeps on his sharp gnome ears potentially ready to pick up a disturbance should any happen.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 92/92; AC: 22; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Tuesday September 11th, 2018 11:10:53 PM
Asteria stays sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of any approaching danger.
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Tuesday September 11th, 2018 11:53:40 PM
Lornak dreams a black dream. It is a high contrast from the beauty he enjoyed before resting. The images morph and undulate into grotesque forms. He sees a green door.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 2/8) Wednesday September 12th, 2018 3:11:46 AM
Gaffer rests soundly. Trusting in his spells alarm and unconcerned of any danger. The familiar sounds of insects and shuffling of small critters only serve to send him deeper into his sleep.
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Shield Other (Lornak), Planar Ally d20+10=23 ; Wednesday September 12th, 2018 8:27:23 AM
Blissfully laying next to Lornak, Ethani rejoices in a good nights sleep...which is truly a rarity for adventurers. Perception-23

Wil squints and groans to see anything in the distance. Something that may be causing that green glow. "I hope the archon didn't explode. Would it be green like that? Wil wakes Toston to help him look into it. "Not sure how much you can see. It's pretty far away so it may not be something we have to deal with at the moment." (Perception: 27)
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:33/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Wednesday September 12th, 2018 5:33:06 PM
Dušan sleeps soundly and solidly, oblivious to the nocturnal events.
By the time Wilford relieves him, the lad is more than ready for his bedroll.
He drops to the ground, and is out for the night.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 92/92; AC: 22; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Wednesday September 12th, 2018 9:17:42 PM
Asteria rolls over in her sleep, snoring loudly and cuddling with her dog.
A Night in the Wilds Wednesday September 12th, 2018 9:35:42 PM
Wilford wakes Toston and gets his opinion on the green flickering light. The rest of the party sleeps soundly. As Wil and Toston watch, the light appears and disappears randomly, but it is very evident that each time it reappears, the green glow is closer to the grove.
Perception 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {It appears to be a humanoid being, medium height and it appears to be slowly closing on the grove. At least 200' away. The humanoid creature appears female with long hair caught in a sweeping breeze. Her clothes are gown like layers and seem to dance about her frame}
Toston says to Wil, "Whoever or whatever she is appears to be getting closer. I think now is the time to wake everyone because who knows if she is friend or foe?"
He then racks his brain for anything that might be relevant to this green woman.
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) d20+12=22 ; Thursday September 13th, 2018 12:53:04 AM

Lornak tosses and turns in his sleep. He almost wake but then turns over onto his side and wraps an arm around Ethani. He quiets down and continues to snooze.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 2/8) d20+13=26 ; Thursday September 13th, 2018 4:19:18 AM
Gaffer remains asleep, he kicks off part of his blanket; to warm beneath it all, and relaxes again. If he dreams, he dreams of soaring along the outskirts of Culverwood, enjoying the wind ruffling his feathers.
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Shield Other (Lornak), Planar Ally d20=9 ; d20+10=14 ; Thursday September 13th, 2018 8:24:41 AM
As Lornak puts his arm around her, Ethani snuggles in closer to him. This night was perfect and nothing could disturb her slumber.

Asteria does not seem affected by anything going on in her surroundings, and in fact seems to fall deeper into sleep's grasp. "SNNNNNNNRRRRRRZZZZZZZZ It was just a love tapSNNNNNNNNNNNN"
A Night in the Wilds Thursday September 13th, 2018 10:38:11 PM
Toston and Wilford discuss waking up the group, but they dont for now. Wilford starts a summoning spell, but stops. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. wilford has no such capability The eagle cannot scout to report back
Toston tries to put some pieces together and nothing stands out as to what the green glowing woman could be. Over the course of the next few moments, the green glowing woman closes to 100'. Flickering in and out of existence as she did so.
Toston and Wilford can now also tell she floats above the ground, as opposed to walking
Perception DC 25Highlight to display spoiler: { She has a translucent quality}
Toston says to Wil, "That's it I'm waking the others. She hovers and she is see through I wonder if she is some type of undead." Toston moves over to Ethani and gently shakes her awake, he makes a shushing gesture, directs her attention over to the floating green translucent woman and whispers, "is that some sort of undead or something?"
If Ethani can't answer his query he moves on to the rest of his companions in the following order doing the same thing and asking them the same question: Dušan, Gaffer, Lornak, Hmerrin, Asteria
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Shield Other (Lornak), Planar Ally d20+10=16 ; d20+16=36 ; Friday September 14th, 2018 9:38:47 AM
Ethani wakes with a strand of red hair plastered to her face, sleep crunchies in her eyes, and Toston in her face. "Huh...uhhh...undead. Mmmm"
Gently moving Lornak's arm and careful not to wake him, Ethani looks where Toston points, though she's not quite awake enough to focus correctly. "That glowly blurry thing over there??"
Wracking her brain, Ethani tells Toston all she knows about ghosts and undead in general.
OOC: I'm not sure how well Ethani can advise Toston. Perception check was 16, but Knowledge was a natural 20. I'm assuming that if she glows Ethani would be able to see her at 100 feet. I'm also assuming that Toston, being a mage would give Ethani an accurate description of what he sees. So to me it would be logical if Ethani can determine whether the figure is a ghost or not.
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25)Edr Elmt, Bls Str Friday September 14th, 2018 5:43:57 PM
Hmerrin continues to sleep soundly.
If it gets to the point where's he awakened, the fighter is instantly on his feet, takes one look at the green ghost lady, and shakes Asteria awake.
"Trouble," he tells her.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 2/8) Friday September 14th, 2018 9:11:32 PM
If Gaffer wakes, he is surprised, having expected to be the first one awake if there were any threats, given the alarm.
He looks to the others to see what they have figured out, and grabs his weapon and shield, just in case.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 92/92; AC: 22; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Sunday September 16th, 2018 12:51:52 AM
If Asteria is woken from her deep slumber, she groans, hair covering her face in a very unflattering way. "Five more minutessssss." Grumbling as she sits up, Asteria groggily grabs her axe and gets to her feet, stretching. "Can't we just like, pretend we don't see her? I'm sure she's just passing through yknow?"
She Comes in Colors Combat Rnd 1 Sunday September 16th, 2018 9:44:22 AM
Toston decides that the rest of the party needs to be awake. He awakens Ethani first Ethani moves so as not to wake Lornak and gets up. She can easily see the glowing figure and quickly narrows down what is most likely is. A WitchFire, the party was in danger.
She urges Toston to wake the others, which he does Everyone is quickly woken, get to thier feet and grabs a weapon or shield as Ethani tells them about the creature. When a particularly vile Hag dies, they sometimes return as a Witchfire.
WitchFires don't just glow, they are forever being consumed by a sickening green fire and that fire spreads to any living being striking it or struck by it. They can strike at range, hurling bolts of green fire, they have been known to summon Wisps and casts Rays of Enfeeblement. Witchfires are incorporeal and immune to fire.
The creature, now identified as a Witchfire, closes quickly to 50'. This undead is strikingly beautiful, looking more like a fairy creature than the wicked creature Ethani just described. She smiles and holds out her arms as if to give someone an embrace. Her eyes are closed and her head tilts slightly as her upper body begins to gently sway. About the grove a gentle, soft and beautiful female voice can be heard singing a melody.
The grove provides partial cover for ranged attacks Combat Rounds All PC's are standing with shield and or weapon in hand
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 27(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Sunday September 16th, 2018 4:20:08 PM
Lornak wakes to the hymn of a beautiful voice. In the space between waking and sleeping, seeing faint a faint green glow, he wonders if he is still dreaming; "Lovely..." escapes his lips. His eye focus his hearing pick up the rustle of the wind. He feels the ground beneath him. "I'm not dreaming am I...?"
He sees the other members of The Tide readying for battle and is shocked awake. He instinctively draws his crossbow and swiftly nocks a bolt as he stands with them. "What is that?" He asks. When Ethani tells the group what is bearing down on them, he sees the horror behind her eyes.
He stands true nonetheless even though he is pretty sure his attacks will be completely ineffectual. Crouching, he goes into a defensive posture(Standard Action, fighting defensively.) and raises his buckler.

Noticing Toston's casting, Dušan figures Resist Energy is as good a place to start as any. He steps behind Hmerrin and lays the spell upon the fighter. granting him 10 fire resistance.
Responding to Ethani, "I can cast Magic Weapon if anyone lacks means, but it is hardly an efficient spell if you have any other methods of hitting etherial."

"A ghost that burns you up," Hmerrin remarks. "That's just great."
Feeling a new spell from Dusan, and hoping it does something against beautiful green ghost women, the lad cricks his neck, sighs deeply, and steps forward to the edge of the grove.
Nonchalantly waving his handaxe toward himself, he calls out. "Alright lady, c'mon then."

We just paid off a god's servant, I think we should be good for the day!" Grumbling, Asteria moves forwards to prepare for battle, trying to stay behind tree cover.

Ethani casts Spiritual Weapon to bringa trident into being, but like Wil, her spell shifts and the favored weapon of Alemi, the Sap, shimmers into focus. Dusan casts Resist Fire on Hmerrin and mentions that he can cast Magic Weapon in amoment if need be. Gaffer casts a summoning spell to bring an Air Elemental to the fray Hmerrin sighs, this was going to hurt and moves up to take a spot Asteria moves up next to Hmerrin, grumbling about undead and fire
The beautiful woman glides along to the party's left smiling and laughin silently. Her arms and hands float about as if she is dancing with those you cannot see.

Ethani nods briskly at Dusan. "I get the feeling we're going to need every spell we can cast."
Pulling a wand from her belt, Ethani nods at Toston. "I've never been in combat with one before...but I remember reading a tome from the priest Pafsord that said "Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect an incorporeal creature normally. so it should work.
Ethani directs Alemi's Sap to strike at the Flame Witch and yet again it misses (AC 14 from last round, AC 18 from this round). Letting out a little huff, Ethani can't help but feel ineffective. Wand in hand she moves toward the frontline fighter hoping to buff them next round (AB12).

Concern has Dušan hyper focused on the front lines protection. He shifts his focus to Asteria, casting Resist Energy on her as well. Hopefully the green flame will not pose as much as a threat. With that done he turns Lornak, "You got it."

Having moved last round, Ethani taps Asteria with her Bull's Strength wand and then steps back to safety AA11.
Clearly desperate for ways to take down the witch, Ethani calls out "We can also harm it by casting positive energy spells like Cure spells, but I don't know if we want to waste those on her. I definitely want to wait to channel my energy until it cures you and hurts her. Plus she's not close enough yet. Dusan, could you use your Spectral Hand to hit her with Cure spells?"

Lornak watches as his initial shot flies straight through the apparition. His eye open wide in astonishment. He wants to turn tail and run but his hand crossbow starts to turn a bluish white color. Whisps of smoke float off of it in tendrils. The Bloodwitch's work.
"Dusan old buddy, you never cease to amaze." Lornak says as his confidence returns. He loads another bold into his crossbow. The tendrils slither up and around the shaft of the bolt as if devouring it. His weapon enveloped in the blue white mist, he aims it at the apparition, and lets the bolt fly.
(Move Action to Reload, Standard Attack Action d20=21 vs AC, 5 dmg) Thinking the shot wide again Lornak inquires about a different strategy;
"You think it could see me in stealth? Lornak shifts his position (5 foot step 11AA) I could try to get the drop on it."

The new, still living, Medium Air Elemental flies after the figure, and upon reaching it turns into a whirlwind. Currents of air begin to swirl at an increasing pace, and in it's new form the elemental tries to engulf the spirit, seeing if the force it generates can affect her.

Asteria immediately feels her strength drain from the ghost's spell, and she hisses as she tightens her grip on the hilt of her axe (Fort 12 vs. 18). This thing is really starting to get on her nerves. Feeling rage course through her blood, she flies into a rage. "That's it!"

Lornak does not have to wait but a split second to feel how dangerous the green flame actually is. Lornak's body is blasted with searing white-hot pain. All he sees is green. He drops his crossbow and frantically bats at his flaming arms. Imagine his surprise when he gleans the apparition's beauty when thoughts of charred flesh surface in his mind.
He instinctively drops to the ground and begins to roll around in an effort to damp the flame. (Move Action) He knows it should be having some affect, yet it seems to do nothing for the pain. (Will Save d20=19) Through gritted teeth he digs in and continues to writhe. (Action Point Spent for Wil save, d20=8...)
He lets out a guttural scream; "The Pain!"
It is completely useless to do anything but to bear the wounds. His whole body aches. His head swimming he eventually gathers the strength to recover his crossbow as the flames die out.(Standard Action) He barely raises his buckler in defense of another volley.

He moves up to try and get in 30 foot range of the elemental, while lightning begins to crackle around his staff.

"You know Wilford," Cicero began. "A little preparation goes a long way." Will struggled with the heavy crossbow, till finally it clicked into place. "You know Cicero, there are plenty of other disembodied voices I could select." (AC: 25 dmg 2) He then puts away the crossbow forever and thinks of a new strategy. (Spiritual Weapon AC 12 miss?)

Dušan decides Asteria would benefit more Ghost Weapon then his attempt at using his Spectral Hand offensively. Sending it over to the Barbarian he casts Ghost Weapon on one of her axes.

Hmerrin arrives just in time to see Ghost Lady fly away and blast Lornak.

Her face contorting in pain when Lornak gets hit, Ethani decides it's time to stop playing nice. Moving in so she's sure to hit the witch (move to AC 10), Ethani lets loose a wave of healing for the Tide...and pain for the witch. Channel positive energy for 12.
"Stay away from my Love you witch!!" she screams as she prepares herself for front line combat.
Meanwhile, the Spiritual Sap continues to miss. If anything can be said for Alemi's Weapon...it's consistent.

Asteria hisses as the ghost flies away from her reach once again, and she gives pursuit just in time to watch Lornak get hit and Ethani move into potential target land. Cursing her sister for moving anywhere near its view, Asteria tries to keep herself relevant to the ghost with a little bit of help from 'Ol Choppy 2.0, now featuring ghost hunting abilities!

Dušan cringes at the rage in Ethani's "What did I do?"
He then follows the daggers from Ethani's Eye's directed at the ghostly figure and silently hopes he's never on the receiving end of that glare, "Oh! That witch. Visaura give respite, I thought I was in trouble."
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 2/8) Monday September 24th, 2018 7:18:18 PM
Gaffer can't help but stumble back in fear as flames reach towards his allies. He calls to the Elemental to move closer to the witch, not sure it can even understand him, but hoping the witch might target it and not his allies.

Lornak is engulfed and quickly drops to the ground to extinguish the green fire, but to his horror it does not go out. The supernatural flames persist despite his best efforts. He regains his feet without any other true option. The flames continue to dance about him, illuminating him as they do the spectral haunt. Gaffer closes to his own range and sends a pair of shocking blasts at teh spirit, but both miss. The Air Elemental swoops in, but is effective against the incorporeal creature. Wilford fires the Heavy crossbow, winging the ghost and then begins thinking of new tactics to employ. The spriritual Weapon misses Dusan employs his Spectral Hand to gine Asteria's axe, Ghost Weapon. Hmerrin charges after the ghost and wounds her Toston casts his final volley of Magic Missiles Ethani moves up to close with the ghost and lays into her with a blast of positive energy Channeling energy can heal OR hurt not both. The ghost turns to Ethani, you certainly have its attention Asteria purues as well, Choppy 2.0 falls short and strikes only air
The ghost shoots straight through the copse of trees. The Alarm spell activates, screeching into the relatively still night air and as it passes, a green bold of fire lances out at Ethani. The green fire blasts into the cleric Ethani Touch AC 32 crit 19 confirmed Dmg 30+21 = 51 Will DC 22 Sickened Ethani crumples to the ground and the ghost laughs melodically

Feeling a surge of healing warmth wash through him, Lornak raises from the ground. Once on his feet he fights an inconsistent equilibrium. He wobbles a bit and feels woozy as his sight is engulfed in green flame that persists about his body. He unconsciously nocks a bolt into his Ghostly Crossbow. (Move Action)
He stumbles forward. (5-foot step to 8AB)
Unaware that his love has just dropped dead to the ground beyond his peripheral vision, Lornak trains his weapon at the horrid nightmare and looses the bolt at its flank. (Attack Action d20=18)
We cannot win this one...

OOC: Thanks almighty DM...I choose to damage the witch instead of heal. Sorry Lornak. :( Also, I'm confused...according to the prd.. "While these eerie flames deal no additional damage.." where is the damage from these touch attacks coming from? Also, I'm sincerely confused as to which thing on the map is the witch. I was assuming it's S, but your post says it entered the grove but the map shows nothing inside the green (which I'm assuming is the grove). Can you help a sister out??
Finding herself wreathed in fire for the briefest of moments, Ethani collapses to the ground, blood flowing from her nose and ears. As she lays dying, she smiles mentally. At least I hurt her. And if I hurt her, they should be able to finish her."

DM the Witchfire is indeed S on the map. I used the phrase of shot through the grove to indicate how she ended up on the far side of it. The green fire that surround a victim of the initial blast does not do additional damage. But the initial attack does 8d6 damage. Hope that clears it up

Dušan berates himself for joking at a time like this. Whoever said laughter was the best medicine was the best medicine never had to try to react to watching a friend crumple to a fiery inferno. Intent on being better, Dušan sends his Spectral Hand to Ethani and casts Cure Critical Wounds for 34 HP.

Warmth fills her body and Ethani crawls 10 feet forward making positive she is within striking distance of the Witchfire (AA11). "Oooooh...you are sooo going to regret that!!" Ethani once more sends out positive energy against the evil witch as she wipes the blood from her nose. 9 Damage
The Spiritual Sap which had returned to her side floats back over to the Witchfire and once more completely fails to connect. Perhaps it is just wishing to take it easy on the evil creature.
Glancing at Dusan, Ethani pauses to nod her thanks. "Thank you friend!" she calls out as she points to his hallmark Spectral Hand.
"It would appear that our enemy does not care for channeled energy. Perhaps it is our turn to make her burn!" Ethani calls out to her friends...not aware that Wil has indeed just struck the Witchfire with his own Energy.
OOC: Thanks DM of epic awesomeness. That does clear things up immensely. I tremble in the presence of you greatness. ;)

Gaffer lashes out with his magic scimitar as the ghost passes by, seconds later he sends another flash of lightning after her.
"We must be getting close right?" He asks to no one in particular. Feeling increasingly hopeless as his attacks have little affect.

Asteria continues to curse as not only does the ghost dash away once again, but it also hits her sister down. While she is relieved to see her get back up as quickly as she fell, Asteria's rage only builds as she gives chase, swapping to her bow once again. "I just wanna smack this stupid thing around a bit!

Lornak takes aim and fires, the ghost bolt goes wide and misses. The man begins to loose faith. Toston heads after the ghost, drawing his enchanted elven blade as he does so, but unfortunately he misses as well. Ethani is overcome by the ghostly fire blast and falls to the ground. Will chanels additional positive energy into the ghost and the Spiritual Weapon also connects. Like Ethani before him, The Witchfire turns to Wolford and her face seems far less fair to him now. Dusan sends the Spectral Hand to Ethani's aid and cures her. Heal 34 to Ethani Hmerrin heads back and gets his bow, chasing the ghost about the area was playing right to the creatures advantage. He needed Ghost Touch on his bow Gaffer manages to get his scimitar around as the ghost moves past, but misses. Witchfire had a AC 28 during the AoO Asteria moves after the ghost and stows her axe and quick draws her bow

The apparition is deadly quick. Lornak gets blasted off his feet. Pain lances through is already battered body. So much so he barely registers impacting the ground. "No more!" He shouts as he puts his arm up to defend himself. As the apparition floats above him he scoots back along the ground. (5 foot step to 8AD)

Flinching as the witch sends another flash of flames at his allies and regretting greatly the spells he gained today, Gaffer continues to chase after the flying figure, trying to stay in range for another storm burst.
He wanders if there is space for a sleet storm, but thinks better of it as Toston rises into the air.

Lornak barely registers the touch of his love as she conveys her healing power upon him. As his eyes come back into focus he notices that she too has the ever-burning ethereal flames of green writhing about her body. She has also been hit by this... Thing.
As his strength returns to him, his first concern is for Ethani; "Get to cover, my love." He reaches out to grasp her shoulder. His head swims a bit. His arm hurts. "Whoa, this thing really works a number on you."
He goes to get up and then whisk her behind him but falls back down upon his haunches. (Fort Save d20=20) He eagerly wants to take revenge on the apparition but his constitution is not quite up to task. "I am going to roast that thing the way it has roasted us...!"

Toston asks for a Fly spell and Wil quickly delivers one. Toston flies in and swipes at the green ghost. Ethani Last round is brought back by Dusan and climbs to her feet and channels additional energy into the ghost. Ethani This Round heals Lornak for 27HP Lornak moves back and away from the ghost, having more than his fair share of her supernatural blasts. Gaffer launches another storm burst, but misses this time Hmerrin picks up his bow and after Dusan lends a Ghost Weapon Spell, sends an arrow into the Witch ASteria fires a couple of arrows and strikes the Witch once
The Witch shrieks and climbs back and away from Toston. At that point she vanishes. Spellcraft DC 25 Highlight to display spoiler: {Invisibility}

Unsure whether the Witches disappearance signals her retreat, or impending pain, Gaffer casts Fog Cloud, centering it to his south east so none of his allies are inside it as it appears.(AF14?)
"If anyone needs cover, get inside the fog, if we can't see her, I'd rather she can't see us."
With that said he moves himself towards the center of the cloud, and tries to listen out for any terrifying spirits reappearing. (Perception: 31)

Dušan considers his options and finally decides he can't do anything if he can't see her. He casts See Invisibility on himself wishing he could cast it on others as well.

Asteria holds her breath and tries to listen for any clues of the ghost's whereabouts.
She Comes in Colors Combat over Monday October 1st, 2018 10:24:31 PM
The group looks about for the Ghost. Dusan casts See Invisibility and soon enough, he locates the ghost. She has moved away nearly 50' from Toston and is now about 45' in the air. No one else knows where she is other than that. Northeast of Toston, about 50' away and 45' off of the ground Ethani draws a second wand and taps Lornak with some healing.
As Dusan watches the WitchFire soars upwards and away to the north and in moments is an additional 250' away and now perhaps 200' off of the ground
The sickening Green flames wrapped about Lornak subside a few moments later

He returns to the ground and says, "I don't know how we'll ever get back to sleep after all that excitement or how much use I'll be tomorrow considering I used most of my spells just now."

Slamming her fist in the ground, Ethani lets a few choice Aquan curses loose. "Well so much for a peaceful night. We should probably be more careful about where we rest."

"I don't think it was the place we rested. What happened to the Summoned Ally? Did it set off the witch in our direction? Maybe there was a trap and it set it off. Wonder if it's still here, in this plane?" "So are we not going to get any rest now." Wil frowned.

"I wouldn't mind a solid 8 hours, Wil, but I understand if the group wants to press on."

Asteria crosses her arms across her chest and plops to the ground with a scowl, letting her bloodlust slowly fade from her body. "Well THAT was stupid! What was her deal? Did she just want to mess with us?" Resting against a tree, she eloquently states her opinion on the topic of sleep. "'M tired."

Lornak is very very happy that the green translucent flames die away as the apparition moves off. Taking a moment to check his constitution, he finds that he feels way better than he did only a minute ago.
"Let us just be glad that she has moved on." Lornak says, eyeing Ethani. Even though he feels that the entire confrontation may have been avoided he does not speak of it. If someone would have just let the thing pass... "Thank you for the remedies, my love."
"I suggest those of us that used up a daily spell should get some rest. I do not require a full nights sleep to be full." Lornak informs the group. "I will take the first watch." Hopefully we can avoid poking another ghost...

A New Dawn Tuesday October 2nd, 2018 11:22:51 PM
The attack is over and several of the spell casters lament the interruption and the possibility that they will be without spells for the final push to the ruins. Wil wonders about the Planar Ally, but in reality, it has only been a few hours since the Hound Archon departed. The Archon's return is still many hours away
The arcane spell casters have already gotten several hours, the interruption does not reset that time, it merely adds a bit to it. Shortly after dawn, they can begin to prepare. An advantage they have is that they can prepare spells at any time of day. Unlike any spell casters that gain their power from divine sources. Morning will come, the time to pray and prepare, in less than 8 hours.
The group does what they can to return to resting positions, some, Asteria, finding success coming quickly. The Barbarian is soon snoring in deep sleep. Lornak takes a watch.
The night concludes and the morning dawn arrives and the grove vanishes
Divine Spell casters will not gain back spells slots cast in the battle with the Witchfire. The Time of day to prepare spells will come and go before 8 hours from the battle have elapsed Arcane spell casters will need to wait an additional 2 hours and can then prepare all spells for the day
Do you head out at first light or hold up and wait for the Hound to return?

"I suggest we wait until the ally returns, then depending on what they say we can move closer. I think I can find our tracks, just in case that is an issue. Then aim to start early tomorrow?"
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:29/33; AC:17; Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Wednesday October 3rd, 2018 5:07:42 PM
Dušan falls back to sleep as soon as he is able. After he rises he spends time communing with the Wold's Blood to refresh his spells. Refreshed and recharged he agrees with the others, "Waiting for more information seems prudent, but I don't think we should camp here again in case the witch is bound to this location in some way."
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25)Edr Elmt, Fire Res (10) Wednesday October 3rd, 2018 6:50:45 PM
"Yeah," agrees Hmerrin. "Let's give it a couple hours for the Hound to come back, then we should probably get a couple hours away from here, call it a day, and power up in the morning."

When one of the group stirs, Lornak ends his watch. He stands and stretches his muscles. He only greets Ethani with a gentle kiss if she is not meditating. He heads out into the surrounding brush to find something to eat for the group.(Knowledge;Nature d20=10, Survival d20=10).
To his dismay he returns to the camp and digs into his trail rations. He munches on jerky absently. Before he realizes he finds himself eyeing his arm for just a second and sees an after image of green ethereal flames. He shivers to. That witch REALLY worked a number on me. I cannot even scrounge breakfast...
He wants to go out to the marshland and track the apparition so as to learn more about what he encountered. More importantly, to find its weakness should he encounter anything like it again. Today is not a normal hunting experience however and he shoves the thought aside. "I believe we should take the time to regroup." He says as the conversation commences. "Last night was quite a shock to the system."
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 30/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Planar Ally, Spiritual Weapon 8/8, Prayer 5/8, Wednesday October 3rd, 2018 9:49:58 PM
Ethani rises and enjoys her time with Lornak before she spends her time in mediation.
Thinking about her options, Ethani agrees with moving camp a few hours. "I don't relish the idea of staying here in case the witch comes back, but I would prefer to wait for the Hound's report before we approach the tower.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 84/84; AC: 18; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20; Fatigued] Wednesday October 3rd, 2018 10:28:50 PM
Asteria votes to wait for the Hound to come back, as she wants as much shut-eye as she can get.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:22/20/18- CMD 24 Wednesday October 3rd, 2018 11:27:42 PM
Toston says, "I need a wand of magic missile. As long as I can see it I can hit with the magic missile."
A Day in the Wilds Thursday October 4th, 2018 12:20:38 AM
The group prepares and partially breaks camp. The consensus is to wait for the Hound Archon and so the group does. There is some concern about the witch's return, but if the party leaves the area, the Archon may not be able to find them. It is to this location that he is returning. So the party must remain if they wish to gain anything from the casting of the spell.
The following day overcast and dreary, though Gaffer did not expect it to be so. Perhaps even this relative distance to Bone Tower is not enough. A storm has hung in the northeastern sky for days now and the prevailing air that Gaffer can note along with the higher pressure of late, suggests that should not be. Of course, if the land itself can take on the aspects of the creatures about it, what of the land subjected to such evil as that of Marteus and his deadly twin?
The party spots a herd of antelope and later, what look to be bison in the distance. Always the predators of the wilds hound the flanks, but such is the natural wold.
As evening approaches the Hound Archon returns. Without a sound, he simply appears in the midst of the group. "My task is completed. The ruins you seek are 8 miles to the north by northeast. A small gullie can be used to mask you approach for the last mile. The marking tower has completely collapsed in on itself and appears to be an animal lair. There was none at home when I arrived, but the den is small and i would judge the animal to be of no threat to you. A small outbuilding, possibly a gatehouse or an armory at one time has a vine and brush covered wall that conceals an entrance which is trapped with a dead fall. There was evidence of recent passage and I would estimate at least 3 maybe 4 individuals have navigated the dead fall and likely passage at the bottom. The individuals are humanoid, medium build and wear boots. I would suggest your quarry of 2 has 1 or 2 accomplices with them."
The hound falls silent and then asks, "Is there anything in my initial report you wish to discuss? If not I believe my bargain full filled."

"Let's pay the man, or dog, or whatever, and get a couple miles under us while we can."
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 78/79 AC: 23(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Thursday October 4th, 2018 7:29:43 PM
Lornak's heart begins to pound when the hound divulges the details of his scouting. "Finally, something promising." He says excitedly. He knows that he cannot dismiss the Archon but cannot think of anything more to ask it about concerning the tower. It seems a thorough bounty of reconnaissance.
"I believe that is more information that we could have hoped for!" He slaps Dusan on the shoulder heartily. "Let us make the most of it!" Lornak prepares to break camp.
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:29/33; AC:17; Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Thursday October 4th, 2018 7:47:12 PM

While Peri growls once again at the hound man, Asteria packs her bag and helps to break down camp. "Nice. But uh... dog dude, did you see a green lady? There was this big witchy lady who attacked us after you left. Lots of green flames, hard to miss."
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 0/8) Thursday October 4th, 2018 8:11:31 PM
Gaffer definitely feels uneasy as the unnatural weather take hold. "I suggest we skirt around the storm brewing that'a'way as much as we can, I just hope our destination isn't to close to it's heart."
He is impressed by what the Ally has gathered, at least the animal isn't a threat, and hopefully three or four people shouldn't be anything to beyond their ability to handle. Why did they go there though?
As the group begin to travel, if nobody objects, he casts Pass Without a Trace on everyone, just in case the wtich comes looking for them, or anything else does.
[I'm understanding the spell as up to 8 people for up to 8 hours?]
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 30/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Endure Elements, Planar Ally, Spiritual Weapon 8/8, Prayer 5/8, Thursday October 4th, 2018 10:00:07 PM
Ethani nods as the archon gives his report, bowing to the ground. "Thank you right hand of Alemi. We truly appreciate your efforts. We hope that in the future we may ask for your assistance again. "
To the Ruins Thursday October 4th, 2018 11:00:04 PM
The group is happy with what the Archon has to say and barring a question about the glowing green ghost, none has any questions. The hound bristles a bit at Asteria's address and straightens slightly, "Have a care the ease at which you address me." The hound nods to Ethani and even returns her bow, though not as deep.
He then simply fades and is gone.
The party breaks camp the rest of the way and at the suggestion of Hmerrin and a few others, heads out to gain a few miles before dark. Gaffer casts Pass Without a Trace on the group to help them avoid detection. The party makes a mile before the deeper darkness of the night sets in and forces you to stop.
A good deal of tomorrow will be used making the rest of the way to the ruins the Hound described. The party will likely be arriving in the late afternoon

Ethani spends her morning prayer time thanking Alemi for the use of the Ally and that they survived the witch. She carefully prepares her spells for the day.
"We are near a swamp. I wonder if the Witchfire just happens to live here and she stumbled upon us. If so, perhaps after our mission is done we should return and eliminate her so she doesn't kill some other traveler. "
