Sister Two


Alpine Meadow 
Saturday January 4th, 2014 3:05:19 PM

Gear packed and what preparations can be made, made the party sets out. Climbing Kits of the highest quality can be purchased and Emerlada is delighted to discover that the paperwork allowing her to do so had already been submitted and approved. Food provisions for the road, trail rations and such are also available. Spices such as salt, pepper and the like are not available nor is anything resembling fresh products.

The group exits Brightenstone and leaves the gnoming mining settlement behind, heading into the deeper wilds towards Sister Two. The journey is not without issue, but nor does anything come up that the battle seasoned warriors of the Grim Guard cannot handle. A small group of ogre, some foolish orcs with a self deluding sense of capability and a a pair of cave trolls. The trek upwards upon the slopes of Sister Two prove more difficult. Vasphour's idea of a climb and the 3 sheer walls the group eventually overcome are quite different. The group does overcome these obstacles as well and after seven long days in the wilds, The Grim Guard round the last switchback before the alpine meadow some 12,000 vertical feet from where they began.

Standing up and hopping down to the to the trail from a good sized boulder upon which he was perched, is a black bearded dwarf in breastplate armor. A polished large steel shield is resting against the rock in easy reach. His rust and black colored cloak seems to shift in patterns on its own as it flutters behind him in the light breeze. Thick boots, worn leather gauntlets, a steel helm and thick leather belt complete his attire. You can see no weapons, though it appears he wears a quiver. The trail leads to him and then beyond to the valley. The dwarf stands, stoic in stance, in a natural bottleneck of boulders and is apparently waiting on you. There is roughly 100' of steep inclined narrow trail between you and him.

As Sam sees the new Dwarf waiting for the group, he does his best to hide in the middle of the group. He unslings his crossbow and quietly begins loading a bolt of dwarven bane.

Sunday January 5th, 2014 7:30:21 PM

Terser leans a bit on his glaive, using it as a makeshift walking stick, looking casual, but ready for anything.

Well met. What brings you to this out of the way place, Sir? Is the hunting especially good up here?

"Ooooo..." the brunette in braids peered at the newcomer, "...he's kind of cute..." Emeralda's following grin stretched from ear to ear.

"I wonder if he's ready to receive the Blessing of Domi..?"

Bruagh can't help but smile at Emeralda's... enthusiasm. He waits patiently to see how the Dwarf will respond to Terser.

The Oathbreaker is as close as he gets to happy as they leave the gnomish settlement, making a point of saying goodbye to every gnome they pass. "I mean no offense by this, Sam, but your people are incredibly boring." Upon seeing the man waiting for them, his demeanor once again grows dark and brooding.

Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Tuesday January 7th, 2014 8:00:40 AM

Sam shrugs at Taggart's comment. He would reply with a thoughtful retort, but he is still unable to speak...

ooc-Looking forward to the next level. The reason is 99% to have a PC who can speak. Playing a mute PC is not much fun.

Alpine Meadow 
Tuesday January 7th, 2014 8:47:51 AM

Terser calls out a greeting and asks the dwarf what brings him to the area. The rest wait for a reaponce, any kind of one. Emeralda quietly coes her hopes to perform a blessing of Domi upon the striking dwarf.

A polished large steel shield is resting against the rock in easy reach. His rust and black colored cloak seems to shift in patterns on its own as it flutters behind him in the light breeze. Thick boots, worn leather gauntlets, a steel helm and thick leather belt complete his attire. You can see no weapons, though it appears he wears a quiver. He stands in silence a moment as the echoes of Tersers words fade and then he lifts a hand and waves you further up the trail.

The party moves closer and at 15' he holds up his hand in greeting.

"Well met Dwarven brothers, I am Brounknar Thunderhand and Sentinel. Whom might I be greeting on the pass to The Meadow of Stars ?" After the party introduces themselves, he continues, "Your business is surely of the utmost importance and all that, but until you can beat me in proper dwarven fashion and prove your worth I can't let you pass."

He pauses a moment as he seems to gauge the group as a whole and then continues, "So what say you? Your dwarven blood deep enough to accept a challenge from the Thunderhand? You have to best me in at least any two contests of the five I name that you care to try."

"One, walk past me and up to the top unharmed. This mountain is more treacherous than an Orcs mother, but a true dwarf knowns how to move amongst stone and mountain!"

"Two, best me in a drinking contest so I know you aren't bearded gnomes."

"Three, show me you know the proper way to speak as a dwarf."

He chuckles a moment and then continues

"Four, Try your battle prowess"

"Five, show me that you can't be taken for fools by the greedy gnomes and can hold your own in a bargain."

ooc - agreed, I miss banter by Sam. He's better at it than I am ;-)

Well, I wouldn't care to fight a man that just greeted me so politely, at least not without sharing a drink first. If that drink is to be the first of a contest, then that suits me just fine. I've only had 2 beers with breakfast today, so I reckon I could still take you down.

Terser offers Brounknar a friendly drink.

What say the rest of you? Is another contest preferred? I don't really need an excuse to drink after a hard day's march.

"Why do we even have to do this?" The Oathbreaker calls out. "There is more of us then there is of him. Let's just move past this fool and be on our way."

Tuesday January 7th, 2014 3:16:52 PM

Bruagh smiles to Emeralda. "I can't help but think when he says, "show me you know the proper way to speak as a dwarf" that he might mean a... uh... "Blessing of Domi" if you get my drift."

Tuesday January 7th, 2014 6:52:22 PM

Sam slings his crossbow and nudges Bruagh. The bard begins pantomiming. Sam points to himself, then to the dwarf, and then does the "walking fingers" motion.

Bruagh Stormbringer (Zach R.) AC 22/12/16 -- CMD 23/27 -- HP 73/101

Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Tuesday January 7th, 2014 8:29:38 PM

Sam stops Bruagh and points to himself. He then uses his foot to write "test 1" in the dirt.


Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Tuesday January 7th, 2014 8:43:14 PM

Ooc to DM: How difficult is the terrain? How much space is on either side of the dwarf?

Terrain is considered difficult terrain and I a 5' wide path. Thunderhand is considered on higher ground and the spaces to either side are impassable with two large boulders
Off the path to the left and right is a heavy scree field and to gain the meadow would require a 30' vertical climb

Wednesday January 8th, 2014 11:39:46 AM

"Oh, boy!!!!" Emeralda squeals, practically hopping up and down in excitement. "It looks like somebody IS ready to receive the Blessing of Domi!!!" In her anticipation, the young priestess doesn't even notice any of the other obvious signs or clues that those who are Perceptive may see. She does, however, hesitate when Sam silently advises that Option Number One is the way to go.

"...no blessings today...?" the brunette with the braids asks, clearly disappointed.

The Thunderhand 
Wednesday January 8th, 2014 6:23:00 PM

The dwarf calling himself Thunderhand gives Terser a grin, "Not just a drink Terser, but a contest and trust me, there won't be any hard feelings you wish to test your mettle." Looking past Terser,Thunderhand grimaces slightly at Taggart's remark, but he simply shakes his head a bit and returns his attention to the others.

Sam and Bruagh approach and with Sam's foot indicating the choice of simply walking past, Thunderhand nods and says "Be my guest. I'll meet you at the top for the challenge."

He looks the bubbling Domi priest up and down quickly and rubs his chin, "Blessing of Domi huh? Don't be too disappointed, nothing says you can't try all of the challenges. Might be some 'annointing' in your day yet Emeralda."

With that he picks up his shield and makes his way into the scree field to watch as the group walks up the path to the meadow beyond.

The trail is roughly 5' wide with great boulders creating a near vertical wall to the left and right for 50'. The trail itself is rock and runs upwards at about a 30 degree plane.

With a loud sigh, Oathbreaker calls out, "I'll take the combat challenge. Are we to spar, then? Let us get this over with."

I believe I was first, friend. Take some time to limber up while I teach this dwarf to drink.

Thursday January 9th, 2014 5:12:48 PM

Bruagh waits to see how the first two challenges go before he ascends the mountain.

Emeralda Everbrawl AC20/12/17, HP58/58; Bless 
Thursday January 9th, 2014 9:32:14 PM

Emeralda does not want to pass up the challenge of a fight, but she can see that Sam is of a mind to climb the incline before the group. She turns to him.

"As a priest of Domi, I cannot run from a fight, but I bought a Climbing Kit before we left," she tells the silenced bard. "Would you like to use it? It should aid you in climbing up..." She shrugs off her backpack and opens it, offering Sam the satchel at the top of the pack.

Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Friday January 10th, 2014 1:21:53 AM

Sam smiles and shakes his head at the offer. The tiny bard slowly advances towards the dwarf blocking his path. Once he is within 10' of him he stops and smiles. He begins humming a dwarven mining work-song. The tune quickly changes tone to a strange droning sound.

Cast hold person (DC=20)
Start fascinating performance (DC=19) as a move action in case the spell fails

The Thunderhand  d20+13=33 ; d20+13=17 ;
Friday January 10th, 2014 9:02:32 AM

While the rest of the group waits for Sam to move up the trail, the bard instead launches an attack at the dwarf.

"I see you are nothing but a bunch of greedy selfish craven cowards, not fit to be called dwarfs. For a moment I thought you might be the ones..."

Thunderhand stops in mid sentence and plops down on the ground to listen to the fascinating performance of Sam the mute bard.

The trail is roughly 5' wide with great boulders creating a near vertical wall to the left and right for 50'. The trail itself is rock and runs upwards at about a 30 degree plane..

Thunderhand is 10' into the scree field

Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Friday January 10th, 2014 9:35:05 AM

Sam continues his song. He slowly squeezes against the wall as he continues humming. The bard then makes his way past the dwarf and continues up the trail.

ooc to DM: I'm now wondering if I am misunderstanding this challenge. I was thinking that the trail lead up the mountain and that the challenge was to make it past him. By fascinating him, I was hoping Sam would get past him and up the trail without him grappling, tripping, or whatever to stop Sam. If I am wrong and this is simply a climbing challenge then...oops. If not, then I'm hoping Sam can think,"I win".

DM: The dwarf was blocking the trail. When you selected the challenge of walking the trail, he got out of the way. The party does not have to go past him to go up the trail.

Terser, Honored of Clan Ironbane (Warren G): HP 82/82 - AC 21/13/21 - CMD 24 (raging HP 100/100, AC 19/11/19 - CMD 26) 
Friday January 10th, 2014 10:39:18 AM

Terser calmly takes the insult from the blustering dwarf.

I don't know what you mean by "the ones," but if you didn't want someone using their abilities to pass one of your silly contests, you should have established some ground rules before challenging us. Don't blame my friend for your lack of foresight. Though if you wish, we will still best you in any challenge you care to offer, for we are as much dwarf as you think yourself to be, and likely much more.

Taggart Oathbreaker (Ian) 21/18/18 - 57/67 - CMD 24 
Friday January 10th, 2014 11:19:07 AM

"Ha!" The Oathbreaker lets out a loud laugh, running forward to clap Sam on the back ."And that's how we do it, aye? Let's be off, now, before Thunderhead wakes up here."

Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Friday January 10th, 2014 4:03:02 PM

Sam does respond to Taggart, but instead continues humming. The gnome is surprised that he doesn't know how his performances work by now.

Emeralda Everbrawl AC20/12/17, HP58/58; Bull's Strength 
Friday January 10th, 2014 5:50:17 PM

"Go if you must, my friends," Emeralda says, not joining the others as they follow Sam's lead, "I am a cleric of Domi, and have been offered the challenge of battle. I will not turn from it, but I also don't expect you all to fight if you have chosen not to do so. As for me, I must live up to my name, lest I disappoint my patron deity." The cleric then invokes the boon of Bull's Strength upon herself as she prepares for her intended combat with the Thunderhand.

The Thunderhand  3d6=8 ;
Saturday January 11th, 2014 10:21:12 AM

Taggart's congratulate Sam and head up the trail. Sam continues fascinating Thunderhand , who remains seated in the scree field 10' off of the path.

Emeralda declines to head up the path, instead she prepares for battle with Thunderhand by casting Bulls strength upon herself.

Terser waits for the drinking contest to start.

15' up the trail, Taggart's steps upon a loose stone triggering a minor rock slide from upon.
Taggart Dmg 8. Reflex save DC 15 For half

Saturday January 11th, 2014 2:49:55 PM

Sam stops his performance as he was confused as to the nature of the situation.

ooc-Sorry Forged. Thought this guy was blocking our path to try to rescue Tahni.

Taggart Oathbreaker (Ian) 21/18/18 - 67/67 - CMD 24 
Saturday January 11th, 2014 5:12:38 PM

ooc :: Is that not what's happening? From the Oathbreaker's point of view, this is just some dwarf blocking our path for no real reason.

Bruagh Stormbringer (Zach R.) AC 22/12/16 -- CMD 23/27 -- HP 73/101 
Saturday January 11th, 2014 10:13:43 PM

OOC: I am exceptionally confused as well.

Clarifications, hopefully 
Sunday January 12th, 2014 5:01:26 PM

Trying to remove confusion:

The party is walking up the last 100' of the trail to the meadow.
The meadow sits upon a 50' high rock outcropping.
The trail goes through a canyon like path for the last 50' to arrive at the top.
To the left and right is a dense field of loose gravel and rock.

A dwarf hops down from some rocks to stand upon the trail.
he introduces himself as Brouknar Thunderhand and identifies the location you are heading towards as the Meadow of Stars.
He says you need to pass 2 of 5 challenges before doing what you would like to do in the meadow.

the challenges are
1. walk up the trail
2. drinking contest
3. prove you cant be tricked by greedy gnomes
4. fight
5. show you can talk like a dwarf

Sam choose option 1
the dwarf got out of the way to watch you walk up the trail
Terser chose option 2 and Emeralda chose option 4

DM hopes this helps
if Sam wishes to retract the hold person spell and fascinate, no problem there as well.
We can fast forwards to the group heading up the path and setting off the minor rock fall


Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55 
Monday January 13th, 2014 12:20:06 AM

Ooc-Sam would like to retract the actions and head forward

Monday January 13th, 2014 11:55:13 AM

ooc - works for me, can drink equally well at the top or bottom. though if we're at the top, doesn't seem like we need to pass another contest to get there, haha.

Terser will head along, ready for a pleasant meadow setting for the drinking contest instead of this rocky passage.

Bruagh Stormbringer (Zach R.) AC 22/12/16 -- CMD 23/27 -- HP 73/101 
Monday January 13th, 2014 8:12:26 PM

Bruagh urges the group to stay together. "Let's do one challenge at a time".

Official Picking back up post; Brouknar Thunderhand 
Monday January 13th, 2014 8:42:25 PM

Sam steps forward with Bruagh and indicates the party would take the first challenge, walking up the trail to the Meadow itself. Brouknar nods his agreement, fetches his shield and then gets well off the path so the group may continue as he watches.

The party gathers up, Terser thinking the meadow a better place for the drinking contest and Bruagh voicing that the group should look to undertake a single challenge at a time. the group stands at the bottom of the last leg of the trail. 50' at a steep incline between two great pieces of rock is all that lies before you. Brouknar stands silently now 10 paces to the left.

It is obvious that this dwarf loves his clan, as the symbol is engraved in every place it can fit. (perception 14) However, it doesn't matter what clan one comes from. Only the actions of the individual can truly define any man.

He walks up the trail with the others, looking carefully for where to place his feet so that the climb takes place uneventfully.

(perception for the trail 16, climb check 22)



Trail to the Meadow of Stars 
Tuesday January 14th, 2014 10:08:45 PM

The group begins moving up the trail, and just before Taggart steps upon a loose stone, Terser spies the rocky snare. A minor investigation revels the loose rock to be a large piece of shale with a scattering of loose rubble across it. The Shale is wedged into a crack in the vertical wall to the left and staggered with additional rock of granite. A very deliberate trap designed to topple several tons of crushing rubble to those caught beneath. The group is about halfway, of the 50' trail that remains. Brouknar follows about 15' back.

Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55  d20+8=22 ;

Trail to the Meadow of Stars 
Wednesday January 15th, 2014 10:56:12 PM

Bruagh spots another snare, this one a bit more carefully concealed. From behind you Brouknar speaks up, "Well done brothers, good to see the line is still being taught how to walk amongst the rock."

The party arrives at the top of the trail and steps into The Meadow of Stars. Just beyond the tight gap of the pass the group is led to a low stone table. The party sees a small campsite, cooking fire, bedroll tucked into a ledge in the rock and other equipment one might expect for a single prolonged camp. There are also several large barrels and a tapped keg. Brouknar comes up as well and moves over to what is obviously his campsite. "All right then, you passed one of the challenges. If your wish is for fighting and for drinking I would suggest former first and then we can toast to your valor and courage. Or we can talk about what it means to be dwarf." Brouknar folds his arms and takes a breath. "So we could see what you're skills are martially, we could see where you stand celebratorily, we can see if your elders talk to proper dwarf etiquette, or we can see if your a gnomes dream come true,."
He looks to Sam after the last statement, "Just an old saying mind you. Before your time to be sure."

Brouknar beams the party a seemingly genuine smile and waits for the group to decide whatever it is they will decide


Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 14 -- HP 55/55

Thursday January 16th, 2014 6:52:19 PM

Sam clears his throat as he prepares to support Oathbreaker with a song.

Ooc- inspire courage +2 when the action starts

Fighting Thunderhand 
Thursday January 16th, 2014 9:54:23 PM

Oathbreaker steps forward to take on Thunderhands challenge.
Terser stands by wishing he could somehow lend his strength to Oathbreaker.
Sam can help and prepares to do so
Emeralda has been oddly quiet. Ever since she was more clearly able to see the clan markings Thunderhand bears, she has been lost in thought. As Oathbreaker declares his intent. she breaks from her thoughts. "Taggart, be granted the blessings of Domi" and with that she casts Bull Strength. She then casts Bless and Prayer

Brouknar eyes his opponent and moves off 10 paces. His shield is now at the ready in one hand and a beautifully crafted Urgosh in the other. Looking to Terser and Bruagh, "Don't just stand there, get beside your brother and let's test our mettle. 5 Rounds should be good."

"If you have no questions, I'm ready when you three are." Brouknar's face sets as if made of granite and his leather fist tightens about his weapon so as to make the material squeek

Bruagh embraces Terser and wishes him well. " You are a great warrior and will be victorious. Don't feel as though you must. I will fight in your stead if you wish though I know you will be successful."

Sam hums the familiar battle anthem of DrakesMeade as Taggart fights. He feels hope welling up within him as his brother battles the stranger. The humming becomes louder as the gnome feels strength slowly returning to his vocal cords.

Actions: inspire courage +2 and "good hope" cast.

Taggart now has +4 to hit and to damage.

Ooc-Tear him up Oathbreaker!

Taggart barrels in and strikes Brouknar a solid blow, though Thunderhand seemed to have turned at the last moment to avoid a more direct strike
Sam continues inspiring Taggart and Terser and Bruagh cheer him on as well.

"I appreciate the style Taggart, but you left yourself a bit open." Brouknar Kicks out with his right leg into Taggarts thigh. The dwarf then steps in close while bringing his knee into Taggarts stomach followed by a snapping head butt and finally another heavy boot to the same wounded thigh

Taggart takes 11+11+17+14=53 non leathal

Knowing he has little time left to strike down his for before falling himself, the Oathbreaker pours everything he has into his final flurry of blows.

Ooc-Oh Forged. What a great adventure we've had. I'm so sad to see it end.

OoC - I'm really sorry for leaving, everyone. If I could, I would keep playing in the Forged, but I have to drop to one character and I had my other one first. It really sucks to see this over, it's been awesome.

All things must end, but this one cam too soon. Tahni is still out there, and we will see her rescued some day. Thank you for the ride, brothers.

Ooc-Sam will travel with the residue, but slip through a rift and end up in Bonetown.

Thanks for letting me part of your game everyone. I wish it did not have to end and in such a way with very incompletely business. If you keep a weathered eye on the horizon and your dwarfs in your pocket, I expect you shall see the fluttering of a tapestry within Giggling Ghost and a cry from the dark for rescue.

Ooc-If there's a future "Save Tahni" tapestry, Forged better have first rights to it! Thanks for DMing BTW!

Awesome! Sam will be there!

And now (sadly) I'm deleating the Forged bookmark. Goodbye Forged. :(
