Queen Maab - (DM Mark) d8=6 ; Sunday January 2nd, 2022 8:50:05 PM
The evening and the meal continue for, well, for a lot longer than you would’ve thought.
Between the onlooking trees, the flitting faeries, and the raucous and conniving fey it seems like it should be exhausting. Between the ambrosial food and the nectar-like beverage, there’s something sustaining to the meal that seems to invigorate you all.
(Everyone benefits from a casting of Heroes’ Feast cast at 10th level. This means everyone gets 11 temporary hit points. Also, you all get a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and Will saves and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against poison and fear effects for 12 hours. Also, as noted before everyone was healed of all their injuries.)
Some fey begin to gracefully take their leave from the good Queen Maab. Maab once again addresses the Petals, [b]“Very soon my dears I will return you to your ship and the battle that awaits you there.
“I hope this time has rejuvenated you. And do not worry about the fey folk here. It is you Petals that are Heroes of the Wold. You affect the fate of the Wold more than any here. Trust your abilities and rely on your friends, for they are the real source of your strength.
“There is still a bit of help I will send you off with. Each of you is granted a hero point reflecting your valiant efforts before I brought you here. And take these tokens of my favor to call on in a time of need.”
In addition to everyone getting a hero point, she gives each of you a large acorn. (This acorn is a unique fate item. I can be used at any time and will have the same effect as using a hero point. It cannot be sold, but it can be given to another person for them to use. This acorn will not count as part of your hero points, and does not affect the maximum number of hero points you may have.)
You will have one round to prepare before Maab sends you back. You can do what you like in that time. In addition, you may fill any unused spell slots - Maab is able to allow that as well.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (81+11 temp/81HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 25) | Sunday January 2nd, 2022 9:18:05 PM "Thank you for your hospitality, generosity, and advice, Queen Maab. I will do all in my power to be worthy of these gifts, this feast, and my friends, these glorious heroes of the Eight Petaled Rose." So saying, Rolth tucks away the acorn, and launches into song.
(Inspire Courage +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls to all party members)
When once upon the Rose did set, Slithery demons up from the depths, Striking down our heroes, Even unto their deaths.
Queen Maab looked upon this scene, And by her fair hand, Drew them to the Vale, Out of death's land.
A feast worthy of the heroes of yore, Wisdom, beauty and delights galore, Healing, insight, and much more, Until time came to return to even the score.
Now we go, to earn our name, Eight Petaled Rose of Taurnament fame. But always recalling our time with the fey, No matter what else fate might bring this day."

(+1 and Attack/ +4 on Will / +4 poison-fear) "To get back to business," Wil says. "I believe I have a croc, ready to attack the closest enemy. I think that one is down one round. There is also an Archon that I had cast, so that should show up. She can fire off some light rays." "I was under an Entropic Shield, for myself. I will cast another to protect Rolth from himself." He laughed, hoping it was taken lightly. Following that, I can cast True Strike on someone?"
Wil casts Entropic Shield on Rolth.

I've read both the game bible and the Wiki page, and skimmed through the archives, but that isn't the same as actually being involved, and I sometimes I don't always remember what I read, as I am very much a hands on learner.
I appreciate your patience, and look forward to working with Mark as one of your coDMs for, hopefully, a long into the future.)
As you make your good-byes to Maab and her entourage, you realize that you feel a little healthier than normal. (The feast you ate with Maab is a Heroes Feast. Feel free to roll for your temp HP 1d8+5) Maab waves farewell, and in the blink of an eye you find yourselves on the deck of the Rose, or wherever else you wish to be. As you arrive you notice that the Galvos are all where you left them, as are the crew and Centaurs, as if they are caught in suspended animation. however as soon as you act, time resumes as normal, so you gain no benefit from the suspended animation.

Mak (BatMark subbing for JamesM)(64+11/64)HP|AC:19/18T/12FF|CMD 30| Monday January 3rd, 2022 11:09:57 AM
Mak rises with slightly less stiffness than usual, physically refreshed from this comfortable if somewhat unsettling time in the Vales. He shakes off the odd dreams he's been having, double checks his gear, quaffs a potion of darkvision, and readies with quiet determination to return to the battle on the Rose.

Before their return, Elyas casts Darkvision on himself. he looks to the other petals
When we arrive, I will dro a spell on the Galvos to hinder them. wait to engage them until they come towards us. do not go into the cloud. they will have to leave it to attack us and we can fight fewer at a time
when the Petals arrive, Elyas stays towards the back. he finds a spot where he can cover all of the eels without hitting the Petals and lets loose a Stinking Cloud [[everything in the cloud will need a DC 21 fort save or be nauseated as long as it is in the cloud and for 1d4+1 rounds after it leaves. new save is needed every round if it succeeds but stays in the cloud.]]

Kiwina, Son Imod, and Rolth all have such effects in place already; Kiwina offers this spell to the others with priority given Tsak or Mak if one of them plans to engage in melee.
Upon return: Kiwina plans to continue engaging the creatures in melee, using a +2 glaive to start and changing weapons if the creatures press too close.

Before they leave Son Imod bows to Ma'ab and says "Many thanks for healing my affliction"
To Ailleann he says, "I offered you my services for a year when I was ready to hang up my adventuring hat and you said your offer was a one time thing. However, mayhap our paths will cross again on that day and on that day perhaps the timing of the offer would work for both of us?"
Son Imod appears on the deck of the Rose near Rolth.
In the interim he casts Bull's Strength.

Rolth pops in singing a raging battle song, practically frothing at the mouth to get back at these things. He lashes out with glaive, paw, and maw at G2, but doesn't accomplish much. Queen Maab may favor us, but the dice gods are not on his side.

Mak arrives in the crow's nest of the Rose with a quiet pop, and immediately starts raining precision fires down on the galvo, starting with G2, easily seeing through the gloom with his magical darkvision, at least until the stinking fog arrives. Two of Mak's arrows may strike his foe, although the first one one went into the fog and he isn't sure.
(Full attack, Haste, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, Manyshot, Inspire Courage, Heroes Feast) (Two hits vs AC 23, but only one was above the 20% miss chance, if that applies. Damage for the first potential hit is 17-10= 7hp and for the second hit is 20-10=10hp
Tsak pops back aboard the Rose with his falchion drawn and ready to go. Unfortunately he's stuck behind Son Imod, Rolth and Kiwina. Previous experience tells him his crossbow will be useless so he hangs tough with the sword built for slashing and looks for an opportunity. In the meantime he casts Resist Energy on himself as a level of protection against the evil, slimy, writhing worms of electrical mayhem.
Spells: 1x Resist Energy (in addition to the one used above) and 1x Cure Light Wounds.

"Ok, let's get to work guys," he says to no one in particular but could of been talking to himself. Wil searches for his previous summons and spots the crocodile approaching G4 and attacking. (I think G3 is behind something on the ship) The croc tries to attack the creature but misses. "It's ok, Croc. It happens," Wil shouts through gritted teeth. He searches for the lantern archon, he summoned prior to being pulled away and finds it floating behind him. Wil asks the archon to hover over G5 and G2, causing them to be affected by her natural charm (or Aura of Menace) She fires two light rays at G5 but misses.
Wil searches for boxes around 50 pounds that he can have the archon drop over the creatures to damage them. Wil moves behind Son Imod and casts Resist Energy for him. "Too bad we couldn't teleport some of the team to the other side of the boat," he says.

Mak arrives in the crows nest and lands two arrows on G2. (Since your post was in two parts, due to confusion as to whether or not you could act right away, I allowed the first post to be the place marker.)
Elyas casts stinking cloud on the galvos. 1, 2, and 4 made their saves and avoid the nausea, but 3, 5, and 6 are nauseated. I would describe the scene, but I'm not sure what a mass of nauseated eels would look like. :)
Kiwina makes ready to attack with his Glaive.
Son Imod gets ready to get down with his Kama
Rolth makes a full round attack on G2, but only manages to land the first hit, with his glaive, as he continues his song.
Tsak would like to attack, but is stuck behind his larger friends. (FYI, the rules say you can pass through a friends square while moving, as long as you finish your move in an unoccupied square. Of course that would put you in Elyas's stinking cloud.)
Wilford has his croc attack, but it misses. The croc will have to make the DC 21 fort save, since it is in Elyas's cloud. hopefully we don't have a seasick crocodile. Since the Archon is above the cloud, it won't have to make a save, but it will have to deal with the 20% miss chance. The Archon misses with both light attacks, and the 2 affected galvos overcome its aura.
G2 attacks the only enemy they can see, Son Imod. G2 misses it's bite attack, but lands both it's slams, for a total of 14 damage, plus 15 electricity.
G1 moves forward and attempts to bite Kiwina, landing a hit for 6 damage plus 8 electricity
G4 makes a full round attack on the croc, hitting AC 21 for 7 damage plus 11 electical, 26 for 8 plus 6 electrical damage plus, and 21 for 6 damage plus 8 electrical.
Even though they are nauseated, G5, G3, and G6 all retreat out of the stinking cloud. G5 will trigger an AoO from Son Imod.

Falco continues his air walk near where the bulk of the Petals are now located. Survaying the battlefield he decides to use on of his few offensive spells. With a quick prayer a ray of Searing Light heads towards the closest enemy.

"No, my crocodile!" Wil exclaims loudly. The crocodile disappears if I read that right. The Lantern archon cast Aid on Sun Imod to Wil's disappointment. (Round 2) (OOC: Aid grants the target a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + caster level (to a maximum of 1d8+10 temporary hit points at caster level 10th). "I was hoping for a little offense but ok. You do you Mrs." "Let me add to that." Wil casts True Strike on Son Imod. (OOC: Your next single attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.)

As G1 advances, Kiwina makes an attack of opportunity with the glaive. It's electrical attack does not overcome his resistance to energy.
Because G1 moves too close for his glaive to continue to be effective unless he wants to let it squeeze out of the cloud soon, Kiwina splits his weapon in two parts (move action) that become a battle axe and a hand axe (free action) and attacks (standard action) with the battle axe. Although hasted, he has not made a full attack and does not get an extra attack.
OOC: The AoO includes a +5 one-time bonus to hit gained for speaking at Agarime's funeral. Also, I forgot the hero's feast and bardic performance bonuses in the rolls made, so damage rolls have been increased by 1 each as reported below.
AoO hits AC 30 for 12 points slashing damage Normal attack hits AC 25 for 11 points slashing damage

Mak sees Falco light up G1 and switches his target to match, unleashing another fusilade of arrows. Two of them strike G1, doing a total of 11 hp of damage after accounting for the creature's damage reduction and the effects of the cloud.

With the Crocodile gone, G4 moves towards the sound of combat, and discovers Kiwina. it attempts to bite, and just barely manages to land the hit. The bite inflicts 7 damage plus 11 electrical. G4 overcomes the nausea
G2 continues to attack Son Imod, and manages to land both slams as well as the bite, with the bite being a potential crit that failed. Son Imod takes 15 damage plus 23 electrical. G2 overcomes the nausea
G3, G5, and G6 all stay where they are as they try to overcome the nausea.

Having done some damage Falco scans over the rest of the petals. He can tells his arrows will do nothing against this enemy and can see a few wounds. Raising a fist in front of him he calls on the Warper-sar to bathe his team in healing energy.
{Selective Channel: 20 - Should hit all the petals near the ship}

"Let's go team," Wil shouts and Summons a new Lantern Archon. The current Archon fires twice at G2 but they both miss... (AC 7, 5) "I think we should just pick up some of the things on the ship and drop them, Mrs Archon?" Wil shouts while searching for things to pick up. (Perception: 18) "I summoned another of your friends. You can both start dropping things." he added. (OOC to DMs: What is the math for dropping items on these monsters?)

Elyas finishes casting and a fire elemental appears behind the Galvo on Kiwina's side of the ship. it attacks the monster with a burning fist 22 to hit, 5 physical and 6 fire damage. reflex DC 14 or catch on fire
the tentacles keep trying to grab, but are not much more successful this time. CMB = 27

Rolth turns his attention back to G2, and flails away with his furious attack, singing inspirationally all the while. Unsurprisingly, all of his attacks miss. He angrily asks Wil, "Does Wardd hate me? I seem to have terrible luck when attacking."

Mak looks on in grim satisfaction as strikes from Falco, Rolth, and himself finally bring down own of the galvo. He pivots to fire on G2, with three of his five arrows striking home.

Tsak pushes the crew member aside as Wil crowds in behind him trying to get to Son Imod.
How long will the cloud of nausea last? he asks anyone who knows. He wants to be ready when it disappears. In the meantime he has to decide who to cast the other resist energy spell on Son or Rolth.

Falco hooks his friends up with some healing.
Wil summons a second Lantern Archon, and asks it, as well as, the first one to start dropping things on the galvos. The first archon misses with its light rays. A quick look around the deck, at least that which isn't shrouded by the Stinking Cloud, doesn't reveal anything 50lbs or under that the Archons can use for bombarding. Well, nothing with any damage producing ability anyway. (Since Lantern Archons have a strength of 1, they would have to use their greater teleport ability, with a max carrying weight of 50lbs. I gave a 50% chance of finding things on deck, and rolled a 20)
Elyas summons a fire elemental, which attacks G4. However, the ELemntal barely misses the AC 23 galvo. The black tentacles continue to flail about harmlessly, as Elyas casts fly on himself. (FYI because the fire elemental is in the stinking cloud, it will have to make a fort save to avoid being nauseated.)
Rolth keeps singing, but asks Wil if Wardd hates him as he seems to have no luck in landing blows.
Mak switches targets to G2, and manages to stick some arrows into the writhing mass of eels.
Kiwina goes full round attack on G4 landing 2 blows.
Son Imod goes for another flurry of blows, landing one hit on G2.
Tsak asks how much longer the stinking cloud will last. as he offers up some more electricity resistance.
G2 attempts another full round attack on Son Imod, landing both slams, ans well as it's bite. Son Imod takes 15 damage plus 13 electrical.
G4 decides to continue attacking Kiwina, with a full round attack. Both Slams, as well as the bite hit home for 22 damage, plus 23 electrical.
Anyone who is above the Stinking Cloud can make a DC 20 perception check Highlight to display spoiler: {You notice that the nauseated galvos have jumped into the water. Once in the water they quickly disappear under the Rose.}

"Luck is luck.. its not about Wardd's blessing. It will be as it plays out unfortunately, " Wil says to Rolth. "Ok, we got nothing to throw. Let's strange. Did we toss everything already?" Wil asks, not expecting an answer. Archon #1 (Round 3) - Misses with both light rays (G2) "Hopefully, you could possibly blind it!" Wil shouts, unable to contain his anst. Archon #2 - (Round 1) - Also misses (G4) Wil explodes with frustration but settles and again searches for anything the archon can use to possibly drop on the creatures. "Where are those other monsters? Are they hiding?" Wil casts Spiritual Weapon (Round 1) (Masterwork hand crossbow) and fires the weapon (AC17 - miss) "I'm starting to doubt what I said Rolth.. Wardd, do you hate us?"

[ooc: note to GM, the elemental does not need a save, which is partly why i chose one. elementals are immune to poison, which the cloud counts as. also, did the two remaining Galvos take their nauseated save? i didn't see the result mentioned in the post]
Elyas continues to climb to a better vantage. from up in the air, he tries to get a better view of the battle (perception = 16, fail). He aims a scorching ray at G2 from above, firing both beams into the same monster. against Touch AC: 19 to hit, 84 on miss chance for 16 fire damage second beam, 12 to hit, misses
the elemental continues to swing at the other galvo, missing (17 to hit). he is only really helping as a flanking buddy.

Mak calls out from the crows nest, "The nauseated galvos behind the cloud leapt into the water and swam under the Rose! They might be getting ready to come over some other part of the ship, watch out for the crew!" Knowing he can't stop them, he takes aim at G4, counting on Son Imod and the unlucky Rolth to finish off G2. Four arrows strike home, including one that would have been a critical against other foes--right through an eel eye!

Wil and his Archon's seem to not be having any luck. Is the follower of Wardd out of favor with his deity, or is the un-named god of the dice roller just being a butt?
Elyas fires a scorching ray at G2, and the writhing mass of eels falls to the deck of the rose, nothing but a pile of dead eels. (Thanks for the reminder on the Stinking Cloud saves. I forgot to roll yesterday, so I rolled twice for both the galvos in the cloud still. sadly they made all their saves.)
Mak, from his birds eye view, in the crow's nest spots the galvos taking to the water, and warns his friends. He unloads on G4.
Rolth goes all hacky/slashy on G4.
Tsak prepares for the fact of probable galvo re-emergence.
Kiwina seems to be plagued by the god of the dice roller.
Son Imod is also plagued by the dice roller god. Perhaps if we gave him a name, that would appease him.
The crew move away from the sides of the Rose, as a result of Mak's warning
G6 and G3 are still unaccounted for, but G5 shoots out of the water, landing on the deck right next to Wil. The galvo proceeds to try to bite the cleric, hitting for 6 damage, and 8 electrical.
G4 turns his attention to the fire elemental, and preforms a full round attack, hitting AC 32 for 4 damage plus 12 electrical, AC 32 for 5 damage plus 4 electrical, and AC 37 for 7 damage plus 7 electrical.

Assuming that G4 goes down as expected, Rolth will also take a 5 foot step toward the starboard bow, putting him in a position to protect the crew if more galvo come over that railing. Singing his inspirational song all the while, of course!

Mak sees G5 come over the rail to threaten his comrade Wil, and coolly switches his aim to protect his many-voiced ally. Four arrows strike home! Even a skeptic like Mak may be starting to believe!

(OOC... just a reminder, swarms, and swarm like creatures can't be flanked, as per the rules.)
Falco fires an arrow at G5 and manages to hit with two out of three arrows, however, one arrow seems to harmlessly pass throught he writhing mass of eels, and the other barely grazes the mass as it passes though (DR)
Wil cast touch of idiocy on G5, though it doesn't seem to affect the creature. He is sure that the spell hit home, but realizes that since all it's abilities are physical, the lowered mental functions, probably won't be of much benefit, at least not yet. His archons hit 3 out of 4 of their light rays, as he misses with his spiritual weapon.
Elyas lands two scorching rays on G5 as his fire elemental is overcome by G4 and returns to wherever it was summoned from.
Rolth leaves a pile of dead eels on the deck of the rose, as he finishes of G4.
Mak turns his attention to G5, and skewers several of the eels withing the writhing mass.
Kiwina goes to attack G4, but finds nothing but a pile of dead eels.
Tsak finally get his chance to engage the enemy, and he wastes no time putting his weapon to good use.
G4 makes his save against the stinking cloud, just in time to be cut down.
G5 makes a full round attack against Tsak, hitting all three blows for 22 total damage
G3 shoots out of the water, and lands on the right side of the ship, right next to Rolth. It bites the liontaur for 6 damage.

Falco does not like having one of the creatures so close below him and moves, over the Petals, to heal Son Imod. Giving up one use of Water Breathing he patches up their new battle companion.

Elyas sees that the galvo near him has plenty of petals dealing with it, so he flies to the other side of the ship where another one has popped up.
He hovers above and behind the creature, angling a cone of fire down over the monster at a range that would hit the galvo without hitting rolth. the attack does 10 fire damage (possibly more since it is a swarmlike thing)
the tentacles and cloud have basically lived out their useful life, but Elyas doesn't have time to dismiss either spell early right now.

Rolth takes a swing at G3 as it comes over the rail, then continues with a full attack, all while singing a fun fight song (inspire courage.) The sudden reappearance of the thing must have thrown him off his game, and only one blow strikes home, doing 20hp of slashing damage.

Kiwina cannot attack either of the galvos on deck with a slashing weapon, so he casts light at the intersection Z16/AA17 to dispel the low light conditions that everyone seems to have already compensated for. Maybe it will help the crew to have increased light levels on deck.

Tsak continues to slash away at the hissing, crackling eel thing that stands? before him (G5). He gets two pretty good swings in, but doesn't do much damage. Gonna have to work on that, he thinks, might be time to buy a magical sword.

Falco hooks Son Imod up with some healing. (Just a wee bit of advice... Since we are allowed (house rule) to re-roll ones when healing, as one who plays a lot of healers, I find it best to roll each die individually, versus a programmed roll. Of course this isn't mandatory, it's just for your benefit.)
Elyas hits G3 with a cone of fire.
Wil misses with his magic weapon, but casts magic weapon on his crossbow. His Archons hit 3 out 4 times with their light rays
Rolth lands a couple good hits on G3
Kiwina casts some light on the subject.
Mak fires on G3 sish kabobing a few eels in the mass.
Son Imod continues to be at odds with the god of the dice roller, who, at least for now, I'm going to call Phil.
G3 goes full round attack on Rolth. It crits with it's bite, and lands both slams. all total Rolth takes 30 damage.

Elyas fires off a couple of scorching rays at G6.
Wil, Wil, Wil and his archons put the hurt on G5
Mak shows G3 whos the boss.
Rolth finishes what Mak started, as G3 is reduced to nothing but a pile of dead eels.
Kiwina fires off a storm blast at the pile of dead eels that was G3, clearing the deck of the eels.
Son Imod must have done something to appease Phil, because he finally managed to hit his opponent, and the galvo is reduced to a pile of dead eels.
Task prepares to attack G5 but watches as Son Imod finishes it off. (You are correct, heal spells can't put you above your max HP)
************************************************
G6 seeing his partners all reduced to piles of dead eels decides to make a hasty retreat (Withdraw action). It dives into the depths of the sea, never to be seen again.
The battle is over, and the deck, of the rose, is covered in dead eels. The loss of life among the crew was minimal, yet tragic nonetheless. Ramsey asks how you wish to proceed.

Wil jumped up and down and screamed like a crazy man. "That was awesome!" "You did so well team." He attempted to shake the hands of the archons but each one growled at him and avoided any contact. "You know, I'm not unfriendly." He said hurt. "I'm just a little crazy. You could be nicer." "Anyways, I will move on like the adult I am." Wil approaches Ramsey to help properly address the dead. "I know," he says suddenly. "What if we use the archon to help clean this up. What do you say? or maybe help with the funerals?" Wil seems to of forgotten the hurt and returns to the normal crazy of usual.

Mak leaned back in the crows nest and methodically pulled arrows from his pack to replenish those from his quiver. He'd not fired at the fleeing creature since it seemed minimally injured and even had he hit it his efforts would have been minimal as well. Best to save his arrows on attacking beasts, not ones running away.

Falco is relieved that all the enemies have been taken out. Disappointed that one got away but he was in no mood to chase after it. Something just didn't feel right but he couldn't pin down the source. He just felt a little twinge of someone important wasn't feeling ok. "It couldn't be anyone he knew", he thought? "Or someone that knew him?."

Rolth lets out a whoosh of breath as the last of the galvo flees, and stops his raging song. He grins tiredly at his fellow Petals, before looking sorrowfully at the remains of the dead crew. He kneels down before the fallen, and says a prayer to Domi before rising to proclaim, "Let us always remember these fallen comrades, who took up arms against terrible beasts to defend their fellow crew and the Rose! Truly, they will sit at the right hand of Domi the Defender, and bask in his glory in the afterlife!" Turning to the Petals, he thanks Falco for his healing and Elyas for the timely fires of arcane retribution. Mak for his outstanding marksmanship, and Son Imod and Tsak for their flashing blades. Wil and Cicero brought celestial friends to the fight, along with weapons of divine spirit. And as always brave Captain Kiwina and his aumakua brought a variety of timely skills to the fight. "We are the Eight Petaled Rose, hear our roar!!!" he shouts across the ocean.
"Should we split the party more evenly as we proceed to Centaur Isle? I doubt this is the last obstacle that our foes will put in our path. I am loath to lose either the Rose or our newfound centaur allies, after all."

Kiwina sees to it that any injured crew are tended before rites for the dead are spoken.
"Let's get the deck cleared of filth." Assuming that the crew are used to burial at sea, Kiwina will add the prayers of his homeland for easing passage to the spirit world from which they can watch over their families and friends to any words the others wish to say.

Tsak, ever practical, finds some of the eel that had been roasted by the archons. He gives it a sniff, maybe with some chilli or satay he thinks. Then he thinks better of it and helps wash the deck before joining the taurs in a trip back to the 'Fury'.
(OOC sorry, but with archon's flying about and shooting at things I can't help but think of xcom - it kept cracking me up the whole fight, particularly with all the misses from the dice.)

Son Imod asks, "Does anybody need any healing? I have a few spells and potions that should help."
DM Jeremy Battle Map Thursday January 13th, 2022 11:53:30 AM
Elyas dismisses his black tentacles and looks around. He asks Ramsey who they lost. Ramsey looks around with a look of concentration on his face, than answers, "It looks like we lost 4 crew members. It's weird, but they were all new hires. Their names were Stan half-elven, along with his brother Fred, a human named Karl, and another human named Joe. this is tragic, to say the least, but without you Petals, things would have been much worse."
Wil congratulates his archons, as well as his teammates. He considers putting his archons to work cleaning the deck, a task they are willing to do, however, as soon as they begin, it becomes clear that they are ill equipped to the task at hand, and Wil realizes that a broom, in the hands of someone with a little more strength, would be more efficient.
Mak replenishes is arrow supply, and as he decides to let the fleeing Galvo go unmolested.
Falco is relieved that the fight is over, but a bit disappointed that one of the galvos escaped. he has a nagging feeling that someone important isn't feeling well.
Rolth honors the fallen crew members, and praises the skills and contributions of his comrades. He asks whether they should more evenly split their numbers among the 2 ships, so as to hopefully avoid any more loss of life.
Kiwina tends to the wounds of any injured crew members, than suggests they clear the deck of the filth. He adds the prayers of his homeland to honor the fallen. And suggests burial at sea.
Tsak considers making a meal out of some of the roasted eels, but decides against it. He wants the deck cleared of this bad memory, so he pitches in to help clean the deck.
With the support of the Petals, Ramsey starts barking orders to clear the deck of the eels. With shovels and brooms, the crew members as well as any petals who wish to pitch get to work. in the meanwhile, the centaurs board the petal and offer both their condolences, as well as, their aid in cleaning the Rose. You see Pholus hand Ramsey a small sack, and hear him say, "Please distribute this among the families of the fallen". Ramsey nods and you hear him say, "It will be done, thank you for your consideration!"
With the Rose cleared of the dead eels, and the blood washed from the decking, Ramsey nods his head, towards a crewman, and the bodies, of the fallen, are brought forth. They have been wrapped in sail cloth, as is common for nautical burials, and placed on planks. Four men carry a plank to the side of the ship, and when the victim's name is called, a bell is rang, in their honor, and a bosun's whistle is blown, singling the carriers to dump the body into the sea. After all the fallen have been interned, Ramsey says a few words, and then offers others a chance to honor the departed.

Elyas is quiet as the funeral progresses. he did not know these men who died serving on their ship, and words felt empty. but he would honor them with his silence and pray that they find rest on the other side.
once that business is over, he awaits orders from the Captain. he is willing to once again go on to the other ship, but it is clear that the response plan left some to be desired.
Elyas spends some time studying a section of the deck very intently, and marks it off with some rope. If i need to bring us back to this ship, it will be inside this circle. please keep it clear!

Wil cast Channel Positive Energy to heal anyone nearby (HP: 8) He nurses his own wounds, which get a little better but he is not 100% He gets as involved as much he can in the funeral and assist as he consults Gargul to guide him. Once everything settles down he sits at the nearest table to play a game of chance with anyone nearby.. "An ultimate thank you to Wardd," he thinks. "I offer this gift to you for your favor in that battle," he says.

Falco also channels some positive energy to top off the team. (4d6) (HP: 15) Falco shakes off his feathers and stretches his neck and limbs then gets to work helping clean up the deck. "Wonder if could install some protections across the sides of the ship to help ward off any other attacker," he says aloud. Something to make breaching the deck more difficult?"

Mak limped to the rail and looked out over the water after the crewmen undergo their burial at sea. He's not happy since he knows they'd all have been slain had it not been for some timely divine intervention. So though he just recently started to believe in the powers of the divine through Pantheon he is still coming to grips with the other powers in the heavens He can't help but be a little frustrated that they needed that aid to survive. Yes, a second chance was fortuitous but that meant their tactics had been flawed and they had been taken unaware.
"I'll not remove my armor at night any longer," Mak said quietly to his friend Tsak. "Rolth's encouraging words aside, those four men paid for our negligence."
Upon seeing Pholus offer gold to the dead men's families Mak thought too he should do something as well, but didn't want his own contribution to be so public. After the ship was back on course and everything had quieted Mak approached Ramsey and handed him 400gp for the men's families. "I wish I could do more." he admitted to the shipmaster as he turned to leave.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (81/81HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 25) | Thursday January 13th, 2022 7:31:33 PM
Rolth basks in the warm glow of Wardd and the Warper-Sar, and thanks Wil and Falco for the healing. He's now fully recovered from the blows of the galvo. When the time comes, he says a few more words in honor of the fallen Stan, Fred, Karl, and Joe, entrusting their departed spirits to Domi's guidance. Rolth also thanks Pholus for his generosity.
Once the memorial is over, Rolth calls for a strategy session. "I see no reason to change our destination. We still have to see Pholus and his companions safely to Centaur Isle. From there, perhaps we can continue our work of reuniting taurkind, allowing them to rejoin the ranks of the noble races. And sort out these mysterious mirrors. We seem to be making some progress in our quest, and I would see it through! In the meantime, how should we split our forces? I see that Elyas is preparing the way to be able to bring reinforcements from the Fury to the Rose. I'd be fine moving over to the Fury with him. We could probably use a priest over there, and maybe one more warrior-type. What are your thoughts?"

Tsak is silent and still during the service for the downed crew.
Why? It'll only make you a grumpier old man. You help the team best by being at distance and sniping blokes with those arrows of yours and the armour is nice to have, but not essential surely? He responds to Mak.
The ranger isn't sure how much a magic sword is going to cost, probably a lot. Still he also hands over gold (200gp) from his stash to Ramsay to be distributed among the families of the dead sailors.

Kiwina recalls the history of the Rose and her crew. Five of the party that fought Carlyn are still Petals. After the ceremony, he talks to Ramsey a bit, trying to pick up the mood of the brambletaur.
"I agree, we're still headed to Centaur Isle, and will see if Pholus has requests similar to those of the Purple Duke or Council of Clans." As before, Kiwina plans to stay with the Rose.

"To Centaur Island it is then" Son Imod echoes.
"Speaking of the Centaurs are they still in that launch? Should we maybe guide them back to their boat?"
DM Jeremy Battle Map Friday January 14th, 2022 10:53:33 AM
Not knowing the fallen, Elyas doesn't have anything to say, so he honors them in his silence. He than prepares a landing place for teleportation.
Wil channels, and than helps out where ever he can during the funeral. After the funeral He honors his god by joining a game of bones with some crew members.
Falco also channels energy, as he ponders the idea of installing some sort of protective barrier on rhe sides of the Rose.
Mak realizes that the reason they won was due to Maab's timely intervention, and that bothers him, because he knows that their strategy is flawed. He tells Tsak that he is never taking his armor off at night again, and makes it clear that he feels the reason the four men are dead is because of their negligence. Seeing Pholus offer something for the families of the fallen, Mak hands Ramsey his own contribution, wishing he could do more. Ramsey pats the human on the shoulder and says, "You Petals do so much, everyone who joins this crew knows they are in service of an adventuring party, and we are proud to do our part. We know the risk, and are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. If the Rose was just an ordinary ship, carrying ordinary cargo, we would have all been killed, but this is the Rose, we ferry the 8 Petal Rose adventuring group, and we consider it an honor to do so!"
Rolth says a few words to honor the fallen, and than thanks Pholus for his generosity. The aged centaur simply replies, "It is the least I could do to honor those who fell trying to get us home." Rolth offers some suggestions for group placement among the two ships, and than asks for the others thoughts.
Tsak honors the fallen with silence. He than suggests to Mak that his aim with his arrows is far more beneficial than him being in the fray, and that armor isn't a necessity for his survival, under those circumstances. The ranger wants to purchase a magic sword, and he knows it won't be cheap, but he offers some funds to add to the sack for the fallen's families.
Kiwina reminisces a bit on the history of his party, and than later, he talks with Ramsey. He can tell the brambletaur is a bit distraught, most likely due to the loss of his new crewman, but overall he seems to be in relatively good humor. He makes it clear that they still have a job to finish, and that they will see it done.
Son Imod shares Kiwina's sentiment about seeing the job done, but somehow missed his DC 0 perception check, as he wonders if the centaurs are still in the row boat, and asks if they should guide them back to the Pounding Fury.
Pholus, leaning heavily on Barbale, clears his throat, and says, "With the loss of these 4 good men, I can tell that you are going to be short staffed aboard the Rose, and the Pounding Fury is already short manned, may I suggest that we send a few men back to the Fury and prepare her to be towed. If her rudder is tied, and sails stowed, the Rose should have no problem towing her, as if she was a derelict. This way the crewman from both ships can work together, aboard the Rose, making the rest of the trip far less stressful on them, and defending the ships less stressful a task for you Petals. This of course is just a suggestion. What say you?"
Matt covering for Falco (Ryan) Friday January 14th, 2022 12:43:21 PM
"i think staying together would be a good idea," Falco says. "I hope there would not be a problem with the ships tied together, rough seas and all. Are we heading for anything like that? What do you say about the upcoming weather?"

"How far are we out from our destination?" Wil approaches Falco and asks. "Any suspected bad spots up ahead? Can we set up some magical traps on the Fury to alert us of any breaches? I only have the Protection from Evil... I don't think i have any other spells that will help. Oh, and I have some new weapons that I bought late from the Catacombs."

(Rolls: survival = 37, profession sailor = 26, knowledge geography = 20)
Kiwina assesses what the weather till be, how to handle the ships, and where they are now, but comes to the conclusion that Pholus'es suggestion has merit. His only concern with it is that the noble centaurs and their cargo should also be well defended.

Mak suggested that they come alongside periodically during the tow to place sentries aboard the Pounding Fury. Perhaps even light torches on her deck so that he in the crows nest could rain arrows down on anyone on deck. He also suggested they use the anchor lines from each ship to set up the tow and to attach them to the mooring brackets at the stern of the Rose. They would want the lines to rest just above the waterline to act as a shock absorber and if the weather got bad be prepared to cut it loose or they'd damage the Rose.

I also think we need to get the mirrors off the Fury and onto the Rose. They seem too important to risk losing if something happens to separate the ships. It shouldn't be too hard with all the magic, skills, and brawn that we collectively have!" Once complete, Rolth helps out with rigging the tow and getting back underway.
(Profession Sailor = 19 to aid Captain Kiwina and the crew)
On Kiwina's okay Tsak makes his way to the Fury to pick up Esmerelda and supervise the attachment of the tow ropes to the vessel (Profession Sailor). He makes sure the ropes are attached to something solid and strong enough to handle the tension and that nothing will cause any rubbing/chafing due to the movement of the ropes as the two boats get underway. He will also help move the mirrors to the Rose when he returns.

there are enough seasoned sailors on board to help with the attaching of the ships, so Elyas focuses on helping move the mirrors. he can teleport twice with his current spells, which should be enough to bring over all of the mirrors with the assistance of some allies to hold the mirrors while he transports them back to his outlined section of deck.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Monday January 17th, 2022 11:19:43 AM
Falco likes the idea of towing the Pounding Fury, but worries whether or not the weather will be conducive for such an endeavor.
Wil wonders how far from their destination they are, and also wonders about the weather. Highlight to display spoiler: {You have access to your purchase now}
Elyas likes the idea of towing the Pounding Fury, and begins to come up with the logistics involved. He determines that they will want at least 100ft of distance between the two ships for safety, as well as a means to drop the anchor on the Pounding Fury to slow it down. with the rudder tied, it should follow where ever it is towed.
Kiwina determines that they should be having smooth sailing for the next day or so. He comes up with the same conclusions Elyas did on the logistics, but his biggest concern is for the Noble Centaurs, and their cargo.
Mak offers some suggestions regarding protecting the Pounding Fury, and also makes suggestions as to how to tie the tow ropes.
Rolth is also onboard with the merging and towing, though he feels that the mirrors should be transported to the Rose for safe keeping. He jumps in, helping rig the tow lines.
Tsak also likes the idea, and asks permission to head to the Pounding Fury to retrieve his belongings, as well as Esmeralda. He pitches in, helping make the rigging secure, and than helps with the transport of the mirrors.
Son Imod offers to help move the mirrors.
Elyas with the assistance of Son Imod, and Tsak, teleports the mirrors to a safe spot on the Rose.
It takes a few hours, but the two ships are linked by enough rope to keep as safe 100ft distance between them. The mirrors are safely stowed in the haul of the Rose, and things are under way. The captain of the Pounding Fury volunteers to stay onboard his ship to drop anchor when needed, as well as be available to make any evasive maneuvers if needs must. He mentions that he has a helm of teleportation, and if things get dicey, he will teleport to the Rose for safety.
With the logistics settled, the ships weight anchor, and continue the trip home, a trip which Ramsey estimates will be another two days. During the remains of the trip it is clear that though Barbale and Timapius are recovering from their ordeal, Pholus, if anything is getting worse. However, the noble centaur refuses any special treatment. It turns out the seasoned skipper's estimate was dead on, and the two ships approach the harbor at dusk.
Do our intrepid Heroes wish to wait tell morning, or do they wish to begin the task of releasing the Pounding Fury, and bring both ships into their moorings, in the dark?

Wil ponders throughout the trip how to take advantage of the blessing that Wardd has awarded him and brings up an exciting game of skill as the two boats float through the water. "Anyone want to risk their lives on a game of skill?" He asks. "I bet 50 gold pieces you can't follow me to the Pounding Fury by racing across the tow ropes." "Falco, you could do this," Wil prods.

Falco attempts to treat the ailing Pholus but returns, after Pholus refuses treatment, to see Wil begin to cross via the tow ropes. Falco smiles when Wil prods him but refuses to take on the crazy man's stunt. Falco races to the end of the ship when Wil falls. He hopes the man with the many voices is ok. "You are a fool, crazy man! You know I have claws for feet to grip the rope.. if I was to cross." he shouts into the water.

Rolth defers to the two expert Captains with respect to bringing the ships into their moorings, but does express concern that we remain more vulnerable when loitering in the harbor than ashore. If we do put into port, Rolth suggests that we use magical light to aid us in the darkness, offering up his own light spell as needed. In that event, he will also cast Toros Taur Try (liontaur version) and Expeditious Retreat on himself in the event that prodigious leaps are needed during the process. He will then keep a sharp eye out for hazards and otherwise assist the Captains in maneuvering the ships.

Kiwina asks if it would be possible for the Petals to get Pholus, Barbale, and Timapius safely to town, perhaps using magic, and into a healer's care. He does not want to moor the ships in the dark, unless everyone has good enough night vision, preferring to see where he's going. (Kiwina has low light vision.)
If the captain of the Pounding Fury offers different advice on this particular habor, he will listen to that. The harbor probably has restrictions they ought to follow.

Tsak can see well at night with his dark vision and is willing to assist either captain. But he prefers the 'move the taurs to safety and wait for daylight' plan.
He does not participate in Wil's 'walking the ropes of doom' game, but throws a rope to help fish the wet contestants out of the water.

Son Imod tries to continue the herbal treatments although they are only serving right now to help Barbale and Timapius it seems. (Perfession: Herbology 23)
He says, "I wonder if there is some way to get Pholus to Ma'ab after he passes on whatever knowledge to the herd he needs to. That Fey that sapped me of my strength said she could heal the centaurs I'd have to imagine Ma'ab could heal Pholus alone."
DM Jeremy Battle Map d100=49 ; d100=79 ; Tuesday January 18th, 2022 10:41:51 AM
Wil decides to try his luck, and attempts to run across the tow rope, but only manages to fall into the ocean.. He is able to hit the water feet first, and the only thing he hurts, is his pride.
Falco tries to treat Pholus, but the old centaur refuses treatment. He refuses to join Wil in his foolish game, and rushes to the side of the ship, when the crazy man falls, relieved to find him treading water, with no signs of injury.
Rolth will allow the captains to decide what is best, but points out that they are more vulnerable out in the harbor, than on Terra Firma. If they choose to go for a night mooring, he will offer Magical assistance.
Mak joins Wil in the ocean, as he two fails to make the tight rope walk. He manages to turn his fall into a dive, and he slices through the water unscathed.
Kiwina would rather wait until morning, but will defer to the captain of the Pounding Fury, as this is his home port. He wonders if it would be possible to get the 3 noble centaurs to shore, and into the hands of a healer, possibly via magical means.
Tsak prefers to move the centaur nobles to safety than wait til morning to moor the ships, though he realizes his darkvision would be a great asset, if they choose to harbor the ships now.
Son Imod continues to try his herbal treatments, and they seem to be working well for Barbale, and Timapius, but alas, Pholus has decided to refuse treatment. The herbalist realizes the herbs weren't having any effect on the aged centaur anyway. He wonders if they can get Pholus to Queen Ma'ab somehow.

Ramsey and the capain of the Pounding Fury both agree that bringing the ships into harbor would be best done during the day. The Pounding Fury's captain even suggests that the Harbor Master is probably at the local tavern, and won't be available to see them safely moored anyway. He agrees that getting the three nobles to shore would be wise, and if no one is able to teleport them there, he offers to row them there himself. Either way, both he and Ramsey bark some orders, and the crews get to work dropping anchor on both ships, and removing the rigging connecting the two ships. The crew of the Pounding Fury will return to their ship in the morning, to sail her into port.
Just because the ships are staying out in deep water for the night, doesn't mean that the Petals have to, What do out intrepid heroes wish to do now, and where do they plan on spending the night?

it has been a long several days, and Elyas is happy to stay on board the Rose for the night and go to shore in the morning.
he is not able to teleport all fo the Taur guests over to the mainland at once, and does not have an ideal spot set up for landing where he is mostly guaranteed not to have a mishap. he recommends waiting until morning, or perhaps bringing a healer to the ship.

Mak reminded the group of the flying ship they used during the galvo fight. They could easily put the centaurs in that and ferry them to shore. He didn't think that leaving the Rose or the Fury unguarded in the harbor was wise.
Matt covering for Falco (Ryan) Tuesday January 18th, 2022 1:07:57 PM
Falco, offers to accompany the centaurs to the beach to help with anything they need. He helps Wil and Mak back upon the Rose.
Wilford Grimly (HP:39/53- AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 21) Tuesday January 18th, 2022 1:12:42 PM
Wil appreciated the help from Falco and that Mak joined him. He laughed hardily. Something he hasn't done honestly in years... .or ever. "I guess that was harder than I thought it would be. That was great though, wasn't it? I need to do that more often. Ok, so I need to dry off. I need to spend some time in prayer to rework my spell list. I'm going to stay on board, dry off and armor up. Do we expect any trouble on the beach?"

Kiwina will stay with the Rose until she is safely in port.
"I can ask the spirits to alert us if they notice anything." he offers. (Essentially, cast an alarm spell. If no one suggests another location, centered where the mirrors are, 6 hours duration, around 10PM) "We also have the folding boat if we need to help the centaurs to shore."

Rolth holds off on casting his spells since the ships are not going into port. He laughs as helps the bedraggled Wil and Mak back on board. When talk turns to using other means to send the centaurs ashore, he reminds all involved that things on the isle were quite unsettled when we left, and much time has passed. It may not be that we and Pholus' party will be welcomed, if there are new political arrangements on the isle. Perhaps it is best to wait on the morning and see what the situation is in the light of day. Rolth will take his turn on watch, quietly prowling the deck of the Rose while watching for threats.

Tsak heads back over to the Fury as they are still short-handed. He spends most of the night on watch, only grabbing a few hours sleep in the morning as the ship is manoeuvred into port and docked for the day. In the morning he'll enlist Mak's help to go looking for a magic sword - if such a thing exists in this settlement.

Son Imod decides to help Falco on his heal check but fails in the offing (7 vs DC 10 to aid another = fail)
Mak(JamesM)(64/64)HP|AC:27/19T/21FF|CMD 31|+1 CLB:Arrows(10)|14/9/-/14(RS)/-|(FA,WFs,WS,WT,PBS,DA,RS,MS)**|1d8+15(x3) Wednesday January 19th, 2022 9:15:38 AM
Mak walked along beside Tsak the next morning. "We should visit the catacombs. That's where you'll find your sword."
DM Jeremy Battle Map Wednesday January 19th, 2022 11:33:37 AM
Elyas is happy to spend the night aboard the Rose. Since he has no safe point of reference, he is unable to teleport Pholus, Barbale, and Timapius to shore, and suggests they wait till morning or send for a healer to come aboard the Rose.
Mak recommends using the row boat. He is not keen on leaving the ships unguarded over night.
Falco offers to help get the centaurs to shore, and than pitches in back at the Rose.
Wil finds great pleasure in his encounter with the tight rope, and suggests he need to do that more often, even though he failed. He says he will stay on board the Rose to dry off and spend some time in prayer, and spell prep.
Kiwina asks the spirits to give them warning, should something decides to go bump in the night. he reminds everyone of the folding boat and suggest using that to get the centaurs to shore.
Rolth suggests that, due to the rocky political nature, on Centaur Island, it may be best to wait until morning to make any move.
Tsak spends thee night on the Pounding Fury, so as to help out, the short staffed crew. He wants to look for a magical sword and asks Mak for assistance in finding one.
Son Ismod tries, and fails to assist Falco.
Mak lets Tsak know that he will find his magic sword at the Catacombs. Barbale over hears this conversation, and says, "I don't mean to stick my hooves where they are not welcome, but there is a Catacombs entrance on the island. I would be glad to give you directions. To be honest, Mak is correct, that is the only place you will find any magical item, for sale, at least here on Centaur Island."
************************************
As discussion on what to do with the centaur's continues, Pholus stands up and matter-of-factly says, "Thanks for your concern, but we will stay on the Rose tonight." You have learned from your time with the old Centaur, when he uses such a tone, that he will brook no refusals.
The night passes without incident, and in the morning, the two ships are brought safely to their moorings. A small crowd has gathered at the sight of the Pounding Fury returning to port, and there is much tension in the air, as the occupants begin to disembark. There is great joy for some, to see the three centaurs who have returned, and great sorrow from others, as the rest of the party that sent out with Pholus is obviously lost. Pelonius and everyone else present are shocked to see the weakened state of their leader, and there is much sadness at the loss of Agarime, Brygape, and Sebochus. As everyone looks to Pholus for an explanation, The old centaur stands before everyone, leaning heavily on Timaius and gives a speech. "Good people of Centaur Island, today is a day for change. We have been fools and have allowed our foolish pride to lead us, and that needs to end. Barbale, Timaius and myself have learned this, in our journey, and Agarime, Brygape, and Sebochus, paid the ultimate price as we discovered our folly. We centaurs need to embrace our fellow taurs and seek to once again act as one people. I fear I am not the one to make this change, and you need to elect a new leader, one who can help usher in this new change. I feel it is time for a new type of leader, a mare. It has always been legal, but tradition has never allowed a female to lead the corral, and I say it is time to do away with such foolish traditions. I have two suggestions, though the choice is yours, I suggest that you either elect Barbale, who went through the same trials as myself, and learned the same lessons , or my daughter Pelonius, who, though young, is wise beyond her years, and has been trying, for years, to get me to see a change was needed."
Pholus then walks away, towards his home, with the aid of Pelonius, who rushed in to take Timaius's place as her father's crutch. The Petals are invited to join them at Pholus's home for a bite to eat, and Pholus suggests he wishes to award them for their bravery and service.
What do our intrepid heroes wish to do?
Elyas (Ben A.) (84/73 HP | AC: 18; Touch:13; Flat: 15; CMD:15) | mwk Light Crossbow +8( 1D8, 19-20) | Status: mage armor, darkvision, haste d20+8=26 ; Wednesday January 19th, 2022 12:30:53 PM
Elyas hangs back for a while to see the reactions of the other leaders to the statements that were made. this is a big change in how things are done, and likely will cause a stir. he will catch up with Pholus shortly, but first wants to see if anything else happens, or if any particular taurs make moves.

Wil tries to get a sense of the crowd. To see if there could potentially be a problem. (Sense motive: 12) If there is no overwhelming sense of danger Wil follows the centaurs to join them for a feast. "You taurs always have the best dinners," he says with a smile but that smile quickly turns when he begins to hear the whispers again. Wil ignores the voices and pretends, as well as he can, they are not there. "So this hand over of power," he begins through grit teeth. "How does that work? Do you expect any opposition? Please, don't think I'm rude by asking. I'm genuinely curious."
Matt covering for Falco (Ryan) Wednesday January 19th, 2022 3:07:29 PM
Falco disembarked from the ship, stretched his feathers, and watched the crowd react after Pholus's speech. He thought about memories from his past, his father came to mind, then the thoughts disappeared and he continued. He waited with Elyas, watching cautiously.
Mak(JamesM)(64/64)HP|AC:27/19T/21FF|CMD 31|+1 CLB:Arrows(10)|14/9/-/14(RS)/-|(FA,WFs,WS,WT,PBS,DA,RS,MS)**|1d8+15(x3) Wednesday January 19th, 2022 3:32:34 PM
Mak waited until Tsak was ready and then headed for the catacombs with his friend. Before leaving he arranged to meet up with the others at Pholus' home. He did make arrangements to get Elmer from the Rose and set him up in a stable where he could be tended. While at the stable he arranged to have feed and hay sent to the Rose to replenish what he'd used.
Kiwina (Steve M) 94/94 HP | AC:20 (normal) or 21 (using 2 weapons) +4 vs AoO | HeP: 7 | Status: none Wednesday January 19th, 2022 6:18:25 PM
Kiwina realizes that this will not be an easy transition, although he suspects Pelonius has already shown what she is capable of during her father's absence. Growing up, his own people accepted human leaders at times, but not female leading males. This will be interesting. He will have to ask grandmother what she thinks of it in his dreams.
Before going to Pholus's home, Kiwina makes an effort to be more presentable. But if a time was given or implied, he is punctual.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (81/81HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 25) | d20+19=22 ; d20+17=31 ; Wednesday January 19th, 2022 8:11:22 PM
Rolth listens with delight to Pholus' declaration about the reunification of the taurs, and sounds off with a resounding, "By Domi's will, let it be done!" With his Mark of Domi on display, he will mix a bit with the crowd, to gently encourage them to follow Pholus' advice, or at least consider it with open minds. He watches and listens carefully to gauge reactions, noting who is a strong supporter, on the fence, or opposed. He then goes with whichever Petals are headed to Pholus' home.

Son Imod Hugh C 95/95 [68 normal + 9 temp hp] | AC : 25; Touch 20; Flat 21 CMD 30 Wednesday January 19th, 2022 10:58:07 PM
Son Imod makes a point to harvest more lifewood. He will probably need to stock up on herbal healing items in order to keep the party in fighting shape.
After that if everyone else is game to go to Pholus's the minotaur sees no problem in that.
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC17 (T15/F12) 92/86 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Crossbow +1 1D8+1|Status: Electrically Resistant! Thursday January 20th, 2022 11:25:48 AM
'Oh great, politics' thinks Tsak though he tries to keep it from his face, it does seem to be a step in the right direction after all.
He will follow along with the group and wait to see what happens. This takes precedence over the shopping expedition so that will have to wait.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Thursday January 20th, 2022 12:11:51 PM
Elyas listens in on a few conversations. most of them follow the same line as this, "He asks a lot, and it will be tough, but I feel he is right. He does overhear a few conversations of people who flat out think Pholus is a fool, but those seem to be in a strong minority.
Wil tries to get a feel for the crowd. He estimates that most people are onboard with what Pholus has said, but he does sense a small percentage of dissatisfaction. He, and his voices follow Pholus and Pelonius to the aged centaurs home, and is treated with hospitality, being offered a drink and a snack, as they wait for the meal to be prepared, and the rest of the petals to arrive.
Falco stands with Elyas, trying to get a feel for the conversations, and overhears the same conversations.
Mak has Elmer transferred from the rose to the local stables, and he makes sure to deal with all the logistics involved. He arranges to meet the other, at Pholus's home, and asks Tsak to join him for a trip to the Catacombs. (Feel free to head over to the catacombs board and make your purchase. all magical Items are required to be bought and sold there. Only mundane Items can be purchased on the game boards."
Kiwina understands that this transition will be difficult, but he has faith that it will work out. He decides to ask his grandma he thoughts of a matriarch in his dreams tonight. He decides to get cleaned up before heading to Pholus's house.
Rolth gives his full support of Pholus's speech, even vocalizing his agreement. He gets much the same feel for the crowd as the rest of the petals, though his Mark of Domi does seem to get some attention, and he receives several nods of respect as he passes through the crowd. He goes with the other Petals at the appointed time, to Pholus's house.
Son Imod gathers some Lifewood, than goes to Pholus's place.
Tsak isn't big on the politics, but does note that this is a step in the right direction. He tells Mak that he won't be able to join him at the Catacombs at this time, since he feels staying with the group and getting the vibe of the crowd is more important.
OOC...Since the majority of you have mentioned heading to Pholus's house, after whatever task was accomplished, I will assume everyone is on board with that, and move ahead. There is plenty of time to do whatever you want before the meal, even placing an order at the Catacombs.
When everyone else arrives at the appointed time, the Petals are ushered to a lovely dining table filled with all sorts of yummy dishes. Hollyhocks is attending to Pholus, while Pelonius sits next to her father. Barebale and Timapius are the only other guests, apparently, Pholus wants this to be a private affair.`
After the meal Hollyhocks makes an announcement. She says, "It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you all that Pholus is dyeing. He has lived a good life, and is coming to the natural end of it, Pholus asked that I reveal this to none but those present in this room, though, I fear, he only has a handful of days left."
Before she can say anything else Pholus cuts her off, "Tut, tut, Hollyhocks, this is supposed to be a joyous gathering, everyone, and everything dies eventually, let's not dwell on that now, and instead lets try to remain hopeful. Hopeful that the sacrifices that were made, were not made in vain, hopeful that the lessons learned will be put into practice, and hopeful for better times ahead. No we are here to honor the Eight Petaled Rose, and honor them we shall.
With that, Pelonius opens a small chest. inside are 8 carved pieces of jade, carved beautifully into the image of a leaf. She hands one to each of the Petals and says, "These my friends are luckstones, please take them with our thanks!" She than sets down the empty box and picks up a larger one. she opens it and inside it is filled with gold, platinum, and gems valued at 20,000 gp. She sets the chest down before the Petals and say, "Thank you for you service, please take this as a token of appreciation."
Elyas (Ben A.) (84/73 HP | AC: 18; Touch:13; Flat: 15; CMD:15) | mwk Light Crossbow +8( 1D8, 19-20) | Status: mage armor, darkvision, haste Thursday January 20th, 2022 1:55:55 PM
Elyas stops at the catacombs, having not spent much at all recently he has quite a bit to buy.
then he joins the others at the house. based on what they saw of Pholus on the journey it is not a large surprise that he is unwell, but it is sad news all the same.
There is much you want to do with so little time left. how can we help you with your transition of power in the time you have left? it is one of our goals to help bridge the divides between races, and ensuring that the ones who follow you will learn from your own experiences is a big deal.
Elyas is surprised by the generosity of the rewards given to the party, but accepts humbly, bowing as he receives a luckstone.
Matt covering for Falco (Ryan) Thursday January 20th, 2022 5:25:05 PM
Falco follows the others to the home of Pholus. He attempts to insist that he help out but is polite when Hollyhocks arrives. He offers what he can but leaves the work to the elders. He is saddened by the news from Hollyhocks. He is disappointed he was unable to prevent Pholus from getting sicker. "The gift of the luckstone and the chest is very kind," he says solemnly. "Is there anything you would like us to take away from your long life. Something we can share with others?" He asks Pholus.
Wilford Grimly (HP:53/53- AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 21) Thursday January 20th, 2022 5:35:18 PM
Wil enjoys the meal but is distracted when the news is passed around about Pholus. "I apologize," he says after a long conversation with an absent Cicero on preparations for the next fight. "I know.. I need to get a few items.. something about a target and some other ingredients for my spells. I need to organize.. yeah, you don't have to tell me. I'm not as good as you once were," he snaps. "I understand you were a warrior but you pick the worse times to argue with me. I see that my friends have bad news. Can you pause the attacks for a few minutes?" Wil then asks kindly if someone can repeat the news. "I'm sorry, that is not good news. Can I help prepare some of your end-of-life care? A prepared death is an honor to Gargul, but to die a warrior is a higher honor..." He stopped abruptly and quietly argued with himself. "Seriously, I apologize again. I have a guest that is rude." He says pointing to his head. "Excuse the theatrics I bring. I can help." He says hoping, he hadn't lost any faith in his gift.
Kiwina (Steve M) 94/94 HP | AC:20 (normal) or 21 (using 2 weapons) +4 vs AoO | HeP: 7 | Status: none Thursday January 20th, 2022 7:52:58 PM
Kiwina is also saddened but not surprised by the news. He is grateful for the generous reward, as well. Elyas has already cut to the heart of the matter of the future of the taurs, Falco to what Pholus can pass on, and Kiwina is sure Pholus has been thinking about these things. He enjoys the food and listens attentively.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (81/81HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 25) | Thursday January 20th, 2022 9:53:19 PM
Rolth is blown away by the generosity of Pholus. He offers thanks and carefully tucks away his luckstone and treasure before turning to Wil with a wink and offering, "I suppose now we are blessed by Domi and Wardd! Not to mention the favor that Falco brings from the warper sar, even as we seek to change the fate of the taurs and their ties to the noble races." This happy occurrence notwithstanding, he is saddened by Pholus' impending demise, and turns serious again.
"Pholus and Hollyhocks, do you have any guidance for us in this quest? Do you have any ideas how these mirrors are meant to function, and perhaps aid us in reuniting the taurs?"
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC17 (T15/F12) 92/86 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Crossbow +1 1D8+1|Status: Electrically Resistant! Thursday January 20th, 2022 10:57:41 PM
Tsak heads to the catacombs when he has a chance.
He takes Pholus' news and manner in his stride. As an ex-slave and a hunter he is well versed in and in tune with the circle of life. This should be a celebration of what has been achieved by this life well lived.
The jade leaf is wondrous and Tsak will treasure it. His share of the gold excites him a little as, for the first time in his life, he has plans for it. Maybe some armor to go with that new sword.
Son Imod Hugh C 95/95 [68 normal + 9 temp hp] | AC : 25; Touch 20; Flat 21 CMD 30 Friday January 21st, 2022 2:14:21 AM
Son Imod isn't sure how to take the news that Pholus is dying. He hadn't known the Centaur leader for long but he did like him.
He says, "Forgive me if my question is inappropriate but if you weren't impacted by the wasting disease of the mirrors would you still be leaving us so soon? I mean while that fey's deal for me didn't go exactly as I imagined we did end up meeting with other fey during that battle including Queen Ma'ab herself. It doesn't seem fair that only you aren't recovering from that disease when you factor in that Barebale and Timapius were trapped too and if maybe we reached out to Ma'ab perhaps she could cure it and afford you more time? I mean I haven't known you for long Pholus, but you are a Taur of honor"
DM Jeremy Battle Map Friday January 21st, 2022 12:14:39 PM
Elyas isn't surprised by Hollyhocks announcement, but sadden none the less. He asks what can be done to help with the transition of power, and how can Pholus's legacy be preserved. claiming the unification of the taur races is one of the goals of the Petals. He is grateful for the gifts.
Falco does his best to help out at Pholus's home, and is polite when Hollyhocks arrives. He is saddened by Hollyhock's announcement, and bummed he was unable to help him from getting sick on the way home. He is thankful for the gift, and asks Pholus if there is anything they should take away from his long life, something they could share, The old taur smiles and says, "I've lived many years, and though some were bad the majority were grand. If you can learn anything, or wish to share anything, then remember and share what I have learned here at the end of my life. If only I had learned this lesson sooner."
Cicero has some unsettling ideas about death, and is shushed by Wil. Wil apologizes for Cicero's ideas, and reminds everyone he has company inside his head.
Kiwina is saddened but not surprised by the announcement. He shares the same feels his friends have already expressed.
Rolth is overwhelmed by the generosity of the gifts, and suggests they are thrice blessed by 3 gods. He's saddened by the announcement, and asks for guidance for there quest. Pholus answers, "I'm only one being, and I have no right to tell you Petals what to do, but I feel if you keep moving forward, as you have been doing, playing the hero, and earning the respect of all taurs, than you will be in a position to help make a change."
Tsak heads to the catacombs, than heads to Pholus's house to join the others. He feels that this should be a celebration of a life well lived, and not a time for mourning. Tsak is pleased with his gift, and is excited to put his share of the wealth to good use.
Son Imod isn't sure how to take the bad news. He asks if perhaps the wasting disease is partially to blame, and asks if there may be a way to go before Queen Ma'ab to ask for healing. Pholus answers, "Noble Minotaur, I appreciate your words, and your desire to seek my healing. While it may, or may not be true that the wasting may have accelerated my condition, but I am an old taur. I have out lived many a centaur, and I have lived a blessed life. I am ready to join Domi, and my ancestors. I look forward to being reunited with my wife, Pelonuis's mother, and look forward to my eternal rest. It is my time, and I have no regrets.
Due to the weakened state of her father, Pelonius asks to adjourn this gathering. She asks the Petals to stay at Centaur Island for a while, and offers The Petals the Guest house in Pholus's backyard.
OOC... After discussing it with Mark, it is indeed time to level. everyone has enough xp to make level 10.

Falco listens to all that is said and offers one final word before leaving Pholus's company.
"In the Wold change is a constant and the powers of the gods are a very real thing. Take your rest, be with those you love until such time as you are called to life again. You have touched our group and we will be changed as well"
The loss of one to age does not sadden Falco so much as reassures that it is possible to go out quietly in this hard Wold. He privately swears to do all he can to keep his companions on a path that allows them this same long life and gentle end.

Elyas agrees with Pelonius that anything further can be dealt with after her father is rested. he asks her if she needs anything else from the Petals for now.
if not, Elyas will help make sure that the mirrors are offloaded from the Rose safely. where will those be kept now?

Kiwina is polite and complies with Pelonius's request to leave without fuss, and even accepts the use of the guest house for the night to be polite. (His connection to the spirits are stronger when he is on the water, and on later nights he will return to the Rose.)
With the other Petals, though, he worries that staying long may land them at a state funeral. He also wonders how the centaurs will answer the offer from the liontaurs in a time such as this.
Wilford Grimly (HP:53/53- AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 21) Friday January 21st, 2022 6:31:11 PM
Wil steps away, smiles a bit. He finishes his conversation away from the crowd and curious onlookers. “Ok… ok… we need a vial of holy water, 25gp of silver dust and more groceries. To be finished later.”

Rolth accepts Pholus' advice, as well as the offer to stay at the guest house. He invites Hollyhocks to join the group for continued conversation, if willing. If said worthy is willing, Rolth will ask for any insights into the nature of the mirrors, as well as whether there is anyone hereabouts who can offer WLA training.

Tsak quietly joins the others as a guest and spends a few hours in contemplation of the stars.
He also studies his spells, goes for a long walk with Esmerelda (and anyone else who may be interested) and then gives his cat a thorough brush that leaves her fur knot-free and gleaming.

Mak remained quiet, astounded at the centaurs generosity. ”Thank you.” was about all he could say as he looked at the jade petal, or leaf, as it were. ”I’ll treasure this.” he said quietly as he looked for a safe place about his person to store it.
Mak was happy to stay in the guest house, but made plans to visit Elmer in the morning. Perhaps even take him for a ride about town. He’d a lot to think about and already his mind was thinking of new tactics he might employ in combat.
OOC: Updating main sheet shouldn’t take long, but I need to verify everything is laid out correctly. I suspect it’ll be ready Tuesday.

Son Imod agrees to stay at the guest house and will brew another herbal healing item in the evening.
(OOC: will update my character sheet when I get a chance)
DM Jeremy Battle Map Monday January 24th, 2022 10:41:05 AM
Falco makes a lovely statement, and vows to do what he can to make sure the petals die of old age.
Elyas agrees with Pelonius and asks if she needs anything before adjourning. since there isn't anything she needs help with, at the moment, he goes to help unload the mirrors.
Kiwina is willing to spend the night at the guest house, but prefers the Rose, as his connection with the spirits are stronger there. He worries that if they stay too long, they will be attending a state funeral. He also wonders how the centaurs will respond to the liontaur's offer, under the circumstances.
Wil and his "friend" make a shopping list. He is pretty sure he can find the items in town.
Rolth excepts Pholus's advice and use of the guest house. he asks Hollyhocks to join them at the guest house, if he is available. the cleric answers, Allow me to help the Lead Stallion to his chambers, and I will meet you later."
Tsak spends some time in meditation and spell prep, and than goes for a long walk with Esmeralda, as well as anyone else who wishes to attend. He also grooms his big kitty friend.
Mak is grateful for the hospitality, and the generosity. He plans on visiting ELmer, and maybe even taking him for a ride. For the moment though, he has a lot on his mind.
Son Imod is willing to stay at the guest house, and plans on brewing some potions in the morning.
********************************************
Our intrepid heroes finish doing what they find necessary for the day, and adjourn to the guest house. Hollyhocks arrives after dark, and brings with him a couple of bottles of taur wine. He offers everyone a glass of the lovely drink before asking, "What is it you would like to talk about?" He than answers Rolth's question about the mirrors, "To be honest, I don't have any idea, other than to say that I believe them to be a gift and creation of Domi. I believe Domi wants to see an end to the hatred and mistrust among taur kind, and the mirrors are a means to that end. I am speculating of course, but I can't believe that Domi enjoys the current relations among his creation. Is there anything else I can help with? or are there any other answers I can attempt to give? I will happily do my best to answer your questions."

Not knowing how long they will be in port Falco spends the time before their guest arrives sorting and cataloguing his gear. Some of it is getting a little long in the tooth telling him that shopping will be needed before leaving port.
Once Hollyhocks arrives Falco, for this rare instance, joins in on the wine. He nods at the comments about Domi clicking his beak quietly. He finds the mirrors quite vexing and decides to just listen as the others weigh in hoping they will help his mind settle with them.

Your own use of the mirror ended up with mixed consequences. on one hand you came away with a deep understanding of the broken relationships between races and a desire to fix what you can. but on the other hand, you were imprisoned for a time inside of a magical mirror.
Elyas looks to the others, especially the devout followers of Domi for ideas How do we encourage the mirrors to be used to bring more enlightenment about the state of Taur relations without putting people in danger of being trapped in another dimension? there won't always be someone handy who can dispel the magic and pull people out of the mirrors.
Mak(JamesM)(72/72)HP|AC:31(AO)/27/19T/19FF|CMD 32| Rapier,+1(Agile,,Keen,Adman)|17/12/-/-/-|(FA,WFin,PS, WFs)**|1d6 + 9(x2) Monday January 24th, 2022 2:52:47 PM "I'd wager we'll be tasked to bring the mirrors to the other taurs. I suspect they have some kind of communication property about them, or even a means of transport that allows the taur leaders to meet and discuss policy. Having all three here wouldn't be conducive to peace, certainly."
Mak also considered the need for mundane equipment and while out riding Elmer made the necessary stops to replenish his gear. Also since these islands seemed to favor the taur races he looked for places that might have or could make clothing for humans. He'd prefer a ready made outfit to a custom one, and he was prepared to purchase four sets.
Wilford Grimly (HP:53/53- AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 21) Monday January 24th, 2022 3:49:20 PM
Wil took time to complete his shopping list, take a much-needed, bath and launder his clothes. He also spent a large amount of time training on multiple things. Especially, climbing skills. That dip in the water was fun but also embarrassing. Lastly, he searched for a cleric of Ffloy, needed to help bless a new (Feat) spell called Coalesce. (This is a Wold feat)
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (89/89HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 26) | Monday January 24th, 2022 5:58:26 PM
Rolth appreciates Hollyhock's comments on the mirrors, even though they do not unravel the mystery. He tends to agree with Mak's appraisal of the mirrors' purpose, given that each is carved with a different type of taur. Rolth still wonders exactly how to make them work. "Does anyone have any divination magic that might help us figure these things out?"
Before Hollyhocks leaves, Rolth asks again, "Is there anyone on the island who can complete my Woldian League of Adventurers training? I'm a little behind on that and would like to catch up."

Kiwina listens when Hollyhocks directs Rolth to the WLA; he is also in need of training. He privately agrees with Mak's assessment that the mirrors will probably go to the leaders of the three taur races, eventually.
"Hollyhocks, have there been any rumors of something called the deep, other than what you may have heard from us?" If Hollyhocks doesn't know, that doesn't mean there are none -- Kiwina will go talk to some sailors the following day.
Son Imod Hugh C 95/95 [68 normal + 9 temp hp] | AC : 25; Touch 20; Flat 21 CMD 30 Monday January 24th, 2022 11:54:47 PM
Son Imod says to Hollyhocks "That tracks with how I came to join the party and my sacred quest given to me in a dream by Imod himelf"
The taur sips the wine wistfully and continues, "He charged me with joining the petals in order to help us move beyond the petty bickering of the past and put aside our differences. Considering a minotaur, a liontaur, some centaurs and others worked together to retrieve the mirrors in the first place I believe this is possible."
"Let's just hope no evil is around to try to create one mirror to rule them all. I think I remember hearing a legend once about some rings and how the Elves had 3 and then this bad guy came along and made his own ring. These mirrors are kind of rings filled with glass. Maybe it is just the wine talking."

Tsak sips his wine, and finds he has nothing to add during the conversation with Hollyhocks.
He will join Kiwina the following day to talk amongst the sailors.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Tuesday January 25th, 2022 11:13:15 AM
Falco gets some stuff done, than listens intently to Hollyhock and the others. he is vexed by the mirrors. He even partakes in a little wine.
Elyas comments on the interesting nature of the mirrors, but worries that getting stuck in them in the future may prove problematic. Elyas asks, the Domi devotees how to use the mirrors without getting trapped.
Mak suspects they will be asked to deliver the mirrors, and believes they are some sort of communication device. as he rides around town, he is surprised to find a shop that seems to cater to none taurs. as he enters the establishment, he sees articles of clothing, armor, weapons, and other non-magical items for sale, all sized for creatures ranging from halflings to elves in stature. He is easily able to find some clothes that fit.
Wil does some mundane chores, than goes looking for a cleric of Ffloy. He learns that though they don't have a temple, here on Centaur Island, there is a shrine, and he is given directions, and is told he could visit there in the morning if he so wishes..
Rolth appreciates Hollyhock's words on the mirrors, and agrees with Mak that they are to be uses as communication devices. He asks if anyone can use some divination magic to ascertain the proper use. Hollyhock says he plans on preparing some divination spells in the morning, and that he is hopeful that Domi will enlighten him. Rolth asks if there is a place here that he can do some WLA training. The cleric answers in the affirmative and gives direction for Rolth to head there in the morning.
Kiwina learns the location of the WLA and agrees with Mak's beliefs regarding the mirrors.He asks Hollyhocks if he has heard any rumors regarding "The Deep" The cleric answers, "There is a rumor of some dark evil located somewhere deep in the ocean. I have heard this referred to as "The Deep" What it is exactly isn't clear, as the reports all seem to say something different. I'm not sure if it even exists, but if it does, I believe, based on the rumors I have heard, that it would be some sort of gateway, to some dark dimension."
Son Imod agrees that Hollyhocks is right regarding Domi's desire to see friendship among taur kind, and explains that it coincides with the reason he joined the Petals. He expresses concern that some evil entity may try to create a mirror that can control the other three, mentioning that he heard a legend of this happening with some rings. Hollyhocks replies, "I too have heard this legend, I heard that a couple of halflings were able to destroy the evil master ring by throwing it into a volcano."
Tsak sips his wine in silence, and plans on talking to the sailors in the AM.
As the evening grows late, Hollyhocks stands to leave saying, I must to bed as I promised Pholus and Pelonius that I would join them for a walk on the morrow. Sleep well, friends, perhaps Domi will give us the insight we desire in our dreams."
The night passes without incident and our intrepid heroes go about their morning rituals. After a hearty breakfast, delivered to the guest house, The petals go about their different errands. Mak finds his clothing store, Kiwina and Mak go looking for clues/rumors regarding "The Deep", Kiwina and Rolth find the WBL, and Wil heads to the Shrine of Ffloy.
Kiwina and Mak don't learn anything they hadn't already learned, though they find a sailor that claims he actually saw "The Deep". He claims it is a giant gateway to another dimension populated by ponies and teddy bears. Each pony has some sort of symbol on their rump that indicates what kind of magic they can do, and the teddy bears have a similar symbol on their bellies. Apparently, when the bears do their magic it shoots out of their belly symbol. It is clear that this dude is as mad as a hatter, and anything he says may not be based in reality.
Wil finds the Shrine of Ffloy, and is disappointed to discover that there isn't a cleric in attendance. In fact, the shrine is little more that a 5 foot tall image of Ffloy's holy symbol, carved in granite. There is a finely dressed gentleman with close-cropped hair loitering around the shrine. He looks at Wil, and in what appears to be an attempt to strike up a conversation, asks in a gravelly voice, "What brings you to the shrine of Ffloy?"

OOC: Might want to revisit that post and remove Mak from all the Ffloy references. I believe that was Wil
DM Edit: Thanks my bad!
Mak was pleased with the merchants in the town and purchased four sets of clothing. It seemed that though magical healing did wonders for the body, the holes in the clothing remained. He also purchased needle and thread for mending the items that didn't require replacement.
Mak also handed 3000 gold to Kiwina to donate to Pantheon. He'd been making these donations regularly and decided Kiwina was as good a conduit as any for the transaction.
OOC: Mak is dumping gold towards his legacy item. It appears that when it hits it's next upgrade availability Mak will be 26,000 gold short, so banking some extra gold now towards that day.

As things settled down Falco ponders The Deep.
"Petals, as we spend a lot of time on the sea and this 'The Deep' will probably be an issue it might be good if we had more ways to breath underwater. I can allow us to breath underwater but not really if we are caught by surprise. A potion of water breathing might just be a good thing to have on your person."
He then spends the rest of the night sketching out outlandish ideas for ship defenses from creatures coming from the sea. His favorite is comically large nets that hang over the side to catch creatures up. . ____________________________________ CURRENT SPELLS: 4th - Air Walk / Freedom of Movement / Restoration 3rd - Dispel Magic (2/2) / Searing Light / Water Breathing 2nd- Lesser Restoration (2/2) / Resist Energy / Cure Moderate / Silence 1st- Command / Endure Elements / Entropic Shield / Divine Favor / Obscuring Mist / Shield of Faith C - Create Water / Detect Magic / Light / Mending

Wil awakens the next morning with a purpose and a smile, till a group of voices interrupt his thoughts. “Hold up, one at a time please. No I’m working on my anger. I promise I will not get mad.” “ How is that relevant?!” He growls. “You are dead, I cannot see your hairstyle. Come on are you trying to make me mad.” “Wait.. wait.. so yes I’m going to see that shrine this morning. Ok, I will say hi.” Wil is a bit disappointed the shine of Ffloy is empty but happily conversates. So, sir… per the friends in my head I’m looking to acquire the feat of Coalescence. Do you know of this feat and what I will need to acquire it? I was instructed to visit a cleric of Ffloy but I do not see one. I am a cleric myself of Wardd and formerly of Gargul.
Elyas (Ben A.) (84/73 HP | AC: 18; Touch:13; Flat: 15; CMD:15) | mwk Light Crossbow +8( 1D8, 19-20) | Status: mage armor, darkvision, haste d20+12=29 ; Tuesday January 25th, 2022 2:05:56 PM
Elyas does his morning preparations, then spends time wandering the city. He stops in at the catacombs to get an order of some magical equipment, then just sort of wanders, hoping to spot something of interest.
The Deep has shown influence near the Petals on each of their last few stops, and he is worried that it might have spread here as well. The amulets really touch something inside Elyas and he fears them. he watches for anyone wearing such a symbol, or any statues, icons, or depictions of the tentacles as he wanders around.
perception= 29.
Kiwina (Steve M) 94/94 HP | AC:20 (normal) or 21 (using 2 weapons) +4 vs AoO | HeP: 7 | Status: none Tuesday January 25th, 2022 7:06:13 PM
Kiwina learns what he can about the Deep. From the description he hears, it is indeed the vilest of monstrosities, and he is comforted by the thought the the sailor they heard it from is clearly speaking nonsense.
He also trains, for as much of the day as he can. He will need to train more.
In the evening, he lets the others know what little he has learned, and points out that there is some party treasure onboard the Rose. (That is, items not claimed, destroyed, or sold that are on the loot list -- mostly potions.)
While they're here, a trip to the Catacombs is probably in order for Kiwina as well. He asks the others what they think of a cloak of the manta ray.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (89/89HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 26) | Tuesday January 25th, 2022 7:17:30 PM
Rolth heartily concurs with Falco's suggestion that folks get a potion of waterbreathing, and notes that there is a potion of waterwalking left in the party supply aboard the Rose. After breaking his fast in the morning, Rolth heads to the WLA and works on his training. He will have to come back the next day, but is excited to make progress!
After completing the day's training, he returns to the Petals to see what they and Hollyhocks might be learning.
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC17 (T15/F12) 92/86 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Crossbow +1 1D8+1|Status: Electrically Resistant! Tuesday January 25th, 2022 9:53:10 PM
Tsak makes a note to do something about the water breathing thing - either a potion or a spell. He wanders what he can do about Esmerelda if they are caught in a 'deep' situation.
He spends the day practicing his swordwork aboard the Rose.

Mak purchases some new outfits, and makes a donation to Pantheon.
Falco Ponders "The Deep", and comes to the conclusion that everyone should have a potion of water breathing handy. He spends his free time thinking up ways to protect the Rose.
Wil has an argument with his "guests", and than heads to the Shrine of Ffloy. He is disappointed that the shrine isn't being attended, but decides to engage the well-dressed man in conversation.
Elyas does his morning prep, and then picks up an order from the Catacombs. After the trip, to the Catacombs, he wanders about, keeping his eyes open for anything that would indicate the presence of "The Deep". He doesn't see anything, but that doesn't mean things couldn't be well hidden.
Kiwina realizes that "The Deep is a vile thing, but is glad that the sailor's description is nonsense. Though he will require more training, he spends most of the day training at the WLA. He considers purchasing a Cloak of the Manta Ray, and asks his fellow Petals their opinion. He also reminds his comrades they have unclaimed party loot that should be dealt with.
Rolth agrees with Falco, regarding the potions of water breathing. He spends his day training at the WLA, than joins his fellow Petals to glean from them and Hollyhock.
Tsak looks into the water breathing thing, and worries about Esmeralda, under those circumstances. he spends some time practicing with his new sword.
Son Imod creates a tonic, than goes to see what the WLA is all about.
********************************************************************* Wil: In his gravely voice, the well dressed stranger answers, "Ah yes the Coalesce Spell Feat, I have indeed heard of it. I have heard that it requires making a bargain with Ffloy. Are you planning on switching allegiance to the god of commerce, or are you just wanting to strike a bargain with him? I hear you have to barter one of you highest level spell slots to gain his help, are you willing to pay this price? If you are willing to pay the price, then I think you and I can reach a bargain." With that, a large desk appears, out of nowhere, and the stranger sits down behind the desk. He indicates that Wil should have a seat opposite him. He snaps his fingers, and a piece of paper appears in front of Wil, on the desk. The paper is a written contract, with all the requirements of the feat written down. He hands Wil a quill, made from a flowing ostrich plume, that he apparently conjured out of thin air, and says, "If you agree to the terms, please sign at the bottom."
WLA training is done, investigations are done, and the pondering of ideas is done. it has been an eventful day, and everyone is a little tired. When everyone arrives back to the guest house, to meet with Hollyhocks, and dine, they can immediately sense that something is wrong. You see a small crowd, at the main house, and they seem to be weeping. Hollyhocks is addressing the crowd, and you hear him saying, [b]"What you have heard is true, our great leader Pholus is dead. His daughter Pelonius, and myself were having a pleasant stroll with our Stallion, but as we reached the Whistal Grove on the edge of town, the great leader collapsed, and his spirit left his body to join his ancestors. Please give Pelonius some space, as she mourns, and plans her father's funeral. All the details will be announced as soon as they are verified, thank you.
As the crowd disperses, Hollyhocks waves the Petals over and says, Pelonius requested to see you, would you attend her?

Mak brushed some of the salt from his clothes and responded. "Certainly, whatever we can do to help." he said as he stumbled a bit and looked back uncertainly at the others in case they disagreed.

Falco rises and does his morning preperations. He takes extra time on his prayers today contemplating the life that will soon leave the Tuar Isles. Once done he joins the group only to find is prayers were timely.
As the crowd disperses he gives a sigh feeling life continue. He is happy to attend whatever Pelonius would ask of them knowing full well that their next mission would probably come from the meeting.
Knowing time is short he makes a mental note to visit the catacombs for some new equipment.

Wil contemplates, reads and discusses the pro's and con's with himself.. taking on a different tone of voice with each character that is within the discussion. It gets slightly heated when the feminine voice of his mother chimes her opposition but Wil expertly re-directs her and she concedes. "My highest level spell right now looks to be Spiritual Ally so... sure.. let's do this.. please advise Ffloy there is a deal. As much as I would love to study under the mighty god.. I am still learning things under Wardd and he gets me." Wil smiles. He signs the document and thanks the gentleman. Wil leaves the temple, grabs a drink to celebrate when he hears of the news. Slightly, drunk.. Wil returns to the others to see what the majority has decided to do.

Rolth is crestfallen that we will not have another chance to speak with Pholus, but is nonetheless determined to carry on his legacy. "I would be honored to attend to Pelonius! Lead on!" He hopes that we will learn of the next steps in choosing a leader for the centaurs, which will figure prominently in our next steps. And perhaps Hollyhocks has learned more about the mirrors from his divinations. Rolth wonders whether any of our own newly empowered clerics might also be able to call on divine-ation :)

He then returns to hear about the hullabaloo and says to Hollyhocks, "My condolences. Whatever I can do to help in Imod's name it will be done."
DM Jeremy Battle Map Thursday January 27th, 2022 11:34:00 AM
Mak is quick to answer, for the Petals, but looks around to make sure he hasn't overstepped.
Falco is happy to meet with Pelonius, feeling their next mission may be coming.
Elyas is sad he wasn't around to say good bye, but is happy to meet with Pelonius.
Wil discusses the pros and cons amongst himself and his "guests", and arrives at a consensus. He signs the contract, and the gentleman says, "It's been a pleasure doing business with you!" As soon as the man finishes speaking, he, along with the desk, and contract disappear, and Wil is left holding the fancy quill, which apparently was left as a gift. (It is just a normal quill, it just happens to be pretty) Wil can make a DC 15 knowledge religion check Highlight to display spoiler: {You realize you just met and bargained with Ffloy himself} After the bargain is concluded, WIl heads to the tavern, and than back to the guest house, where he goes along with what the majority of his fellow Petals decide.
Kiwina tells Hollyhocks that the Petals will attend, and asks that he lead the way.
Rolth tells Hollyhocks to lead on. He is curous about the selecting of a new leader, as well as whether or not Hollyhocks was able to glean any knowledge about the mirrors.
Son Imod is very interested in joining the WLA, and only awaits his share of the recently acquired treasure. He vows to do what he can to help in this difficult situation.
Hollyhocks leads the Petals into Pholus's, or I guess I should say Pelonius's house, as she is Pholus's sole heir, and the house would now be hers. He leads you into the main sitting room and you see Pholus's body. The old centaur looks at peace, and maybe its due to the dim lighting of candles, but he appears younger somehow, in his eternal slumber. Hunched over her father's body, you see Pelonius. As you enter the room, she straightens up to meet you. it is clear she has been weeping, but she asks you all to have a seat. "Thank you for coming my friends. This is a hard time for me and I fear that my strength may fail without the company of comrades. We haven't known each other long, and though it may be my grief talking, but I feel I can trust you, and I desire to call you friends. No, more than that, I don't wish to but call you friends, I wish to truly be your friend, and you mine. Tomorrow will be my father's funeral. As per tradition, A Lead Stallion's funeral is meant only to be attended by the leaders of the communities, and the family members of the departed. I want to break that tradition, by inviting you Petals to attend. If you agree, you will be the first non-centaurs to attend the funeral of a Lead Stallion, as well as the first to attend who weren't either family or leaders. After the ceremony, there will be a great gathering, to which all residences of Centaur Island are invited. This gathering is a celebration of life, and though there is sure to be sadness among the people, their will also be dining and entertainment, and happiness. Through out the festivities, people will have the chance to step onto a platform to share a memory of my father, and though I would never ask it, If one or all of you wish to share your story, about how you rescued my father, as well as how his ordeal changed him mentally, I would greatly appreciate it. Hearing the story from outsiders, may go a long way in changing the hearts of those who would rather hold onto the old traditions of hate."

Mak swallowed hard. He wasn't expecting this at all and it was good news. Only a monster would deny Pelonius after seeing her in such a state, so he nodded affirmatively. Then speaking only for himself.
"I knew your father but a short time and he always conducted himself with honor. It would be my pleasure to speak of him if I can find the words."
Mak would have to consult with Rolth to form the proper speech, but if that one consented he was certain he could come up with something short but satisfactory.
OOC: Mak taking 10 to write his speech would be a 13, if Rolth aids him (DC10) that would bump it to 15. Should be respectable. Mak would read from his prepared notes.

"Dang it.. I should know more about religious stuff but I just don't.. yeah. I know I'm a cleric..but it is what it is." Wil says as he pockets the pen. "My luck is just heading in the best direction." He says a quick prayer of appreciation to Wardd (OOC: I don't have any ranks in Know: Religion.. ugh)
"I'm going to quietly decline the invitation to speak tomorrow," Wil says to Rolth. "I'm not a good public speaker." "I have this sinking feeling we will be dealing with this Deep creature.. any rumors on what it is.. kind of creature? I suspect some more water based monsters are heading our way."

Falco says nothing while Pelonius is present waiting to speak privatly on this subject.
"Some among us are excellent speakers but not all. If we are trying to heal the bonds of the Taur races our best, or most passionate, voices should take the lead here."

Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (89/89HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 26) | Thursday January 27th, 2022 8:08:29 PM "I would be honored to speak of Pholus' Domi-inspired dream for Taurkind. Mak, thank you for your boldness in stepping forward to speak, but perhaps in this case, it might be best if you stand in as the noble race to be emulated, with your truly noble, hopefully sober, bearing, while I offer a soliloquy. Maybe offer some heartful comments at appropriate moments to help sway the crowd," Rolth suggests gently. "I am also ready to join the entertainment, if some song would be welcomed."

Son Imod Hugh C 77/77 | AC : 21; Touch 19; Flat 18 CMD 30 Thursday January 27th, 2022 10:50:11 PM
Son Imod says, "All I can do is speak the truth of the Pholus I knew and how I came to join the petals including Imod's sacred quest. I am not sure how pretty my words will be compared to some of my compatriots but I am not afraid to speak the truth as I know it in honor of Pholus's memory. Do you think though having a Minotaur present at a Centaur gathering and speaking in terms of reverance for the dead may ruffle some feathers in the old gaurd?"

Tsak is torn. He doesn't want to dishonour the situation, but is unsure whether a half-orc dropping truth bombs is going to help the situation. Often-times it goes badly.
Umm, I could speak, and certainly I thought highly of your sire, but I think that Rolth, Mak, Son Imod and perhaps Kiwina will do a much grander job. If that's all the same. I appreciate the opportunity, and the risk that you're taking with this change in protocol.
Tsak desperately wants to fade into a dark corner out of sight, but tightens his jaw and stays where he is to answer any more queries.

We want Pholus' vision to grow to life, but if it is seen as something being brought in by untrusted outsiders it will lose momentum...
Elyas will of course go where the Petals go, and if Hollyhocks and Pelonius do not change their mind he will go and show his support. he just worries about whether this is a good idea.

Mak nodded at Rolth's suggestion. "It's quite odd, but since that battle with the galvo aboard the Rose my leg no longer hurts. Perhaps a side effect of the intervention we experienced? There is also the coincidence that my mug stopped working during that strange encounter as well. Perhaps both are a sign from Pantheon?"
DM Jeremy Battle Map Friday January 28th, 2022 11:29:43 AM
Mak offers to share a speech at the festivities, and asks Rolth to help him scribe the best things to say.
Wil is unable to identify the mystery man, but maybe later he can describe him, as well as what happened to his fellow Petals, and mayhapes one of them may be able to. (Anyone who wishes to try to identify Wil's mystery man can make a DC 15 Knowledge Religion check Highlight to display spoiler: {Wil met with Lord Ffloy himself} Wil declines the invitation to speak, which is fine. In fact, Hollyhocks lets out an audible sigh of relief when he does so. (Anyone who wishes can make a DC 10 sense motive check Highlight to display spoiler: {He was worried that Wil's "friends" may cause a ruckus.} He asks about the creature, or creatures, known as "The Deep", But neither Hollyhocks or Pelonius know anything helpful.
Falco suggests to his friends that the best speakers are the ones who should do the talking, if they are to try to win over the crowd.
Rolth is more than happy to speak at the festivities, and suggests to Mak that maybe he should let those of eloquent speech do the talking. Of course he says it in a manner designed not to offend.
Son Imod says he is willing to speak the truth about the departed's quest, as well as his reason for joining the Petals, But wonders if a minotaur speaking about such things at such an event would be prudent. Pelonius says, "Friend minotaur, I believe all us taurs need to be represented. You are the only minotaur I know, a fact I hope to change very soon, and I would be honored if you would represent your people, in honoring my father. Friend Rolth has graciously offered to speak, and so the liontaurs will be represented, and of course, there will be plenty of centaurs. If you are uncomfortable, I understand, I leave the decision up to you. Just having you present does give a sort of representation if you chose to decline."
Tsak graciously declines speaking, but thanks Pelonius for the honor she is granting the Petals by breaking protocol.
Kiwina is willing to say a few words.
Elyas is willing to attend the funeral, but is worried that such a breech in protocol my be offensive to some. Pelonius addresses his concerns by saying, "My friend, I feel you Petals have earned the right to be at the ceremony, as did my father. Last night, he spoke to me privately, and requested I invite you to his funeral. He believed that in order to break the tradition of hate, we need to start by breaking other traditions, and creating new ones to replace them. That is why he insisted that the next Lead Stallion should be a mare, and that is why he wants you Petals at his funeral. I realize there might be some hard-liners who will be offended by father's request, but no one will deny him that, and no one will deny a grieving daughter such a request either.
The next day, the ceremony is held at the temple of Domi, and it is a solemn occasion. Hollyhocks, as the ranking priest, of Domi, and personal friend of the departed, gives a heart felt homily, and Pelonius, fighting back tears the whole time delivers a fitting eulogy.
After the ceremony, the funeral festivities begin. The town square is filled with tables offering all kinds of food and drink. There are various tests of skill, and strength. There is fencing, jousting, arm-wrestling, wrestling, archery, a form of boxing, that can only be described as centaur kick-boxing, and many others. The over all feel of the event is a mixture of sadness and celebration. as promised, there is a stage in the center of the square, and people randomly go up on stage to share some story of Pholus, or some well wishes to Pelonius.
Now is the time for the Petals to share their hearts, it is time to honor a lost leader, an honorable one at that, and it is time share Pholus's vision for the uniting of the taurs.

Wil recognized that Hollyhocks was uncomfortable, which was fine with him. He knew he was a little much but the others were not so happy about it. A pair of voices fought around the tables, within the saloon in his head.. nothing like a good mind bar fight. Wil tried his best to mediate, without causing a scene so sure.. Hollyhocks was right on. "Guys.. guys.. come one. Settle down." "Let's just stand here and honor the dead. You will not dishonor the dead so cool it!" He said firmly, which seemed to work temporarily. "Festival!" Wil said after the ceremony. He participated in the festival showing off his skills with his floating hand crossbows. "I defeated a eel-covered creature on the Rose with these," he bragged. "More stories in the future, he promised.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (89/89HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 26) | d20+24=33 ; Friday January 28th, 2022 5:08:47 PM
During the festivities, Rolth will use his magic and talents to join in the celebration, summoning appropriate instruments to play, dazzling with prestidigitation, and the like. He will end by casting Eagle's Splendor on himself as the time for speaking arrives.
Rolth strides onto the stage, gesturing to those of his fellow Petals who wish to join him to do so. He raises his arms, sleeves sliding down to reveal the Mark of Domi inked on his wrists, matching the symbol that hangs around his neck, nestled next to Woldian League of Adventurers badge affixed to his vest.
"My fellow Taurs, for that is how I regard you all although it may seem strange at first, let me tell you a story about Domi, about Taurkind, about the dear departed Pholus, about the noble races, and how all these came to be linked during momentous events and adventures these past few months.
Many of you know that we came to this isle recently only to go off in search of Pholus and his brave band. But let me go back a little further, to tell the tale of how we came to be here, already in pursuit of a dream, no, a quest, laid down for us by the blessing of Domi. Some time ago, three of us left Bridge Isle to follow a vision from Domi that the Taurs would be reunited and restored to noble status. Yes, a centaur, minotaur, and Liontaur all setting aside past animosities in order to regain what we had collectively lost. And pointing to his human companions joined by some of the noble races that strive so we can renew our kinship with them as well. And, in this time of change, also this dear beastfolk, Falco, who bravely brings good transformation wherever he sorties. Our journeys began with the Taurnament of Roses, which with Domi's strength and blessing, we emerged from victorious, awarded by your own Hollyhocks, among others. Since that time, we have crisscrossed the Taur Isles, seeking to defend those who needed it, and being called upon by the leaders of each isle to bring messages of reconciliation to another isle of Taurkind. So it was that we landed here, with a message to your leader from the Liontaur Council of clans.
And yet upon our arrival, we found that the dear, departed Pholus had gone ahead of us, bravely following his own vision granted by Domi, back to Bridge Isle where we had started our adventures. So learning, we set off in pursuit, that we might aid his quest. And so it was that we tracked him to a place of testing, where we won through to the place where he and his surviving companions had found the Triune Mirrors of Domi, each one carved with the likeness of a type of Taur. While communing in these mirrors, Domi spoke to Pholus, and made clear what he—nay, what we—must do. For here is what Domi has taught us in the course of this quest:
Two are stronger than one, and a cord of many strands is not easily broken. This is the beginning of wisdom - that communication and understanding leads to peace and cooperation.
Domi has sent us this message to humble our hubris, turn from a path of destruction, and pull together as one. Will you accept Domi's will, and consider the Liontaur Council's message, just as they are weighing a missive from the Purple Duke of Minotaur Isle? In the name of Domi, on behalf of Pholus, I beseech you to make common cause with us, the rest of Taurkind, and the noble races to accept change and thereby change the Wold for the better. What say you?
