While not able to move, Mort did try to using the enchantment of his armbands to make himself grow larger.  Might help cause a distraction for the others to act he thought to himself.

Strange Magic In Flight: Day 14 of 14

The sudden volley of arrows reaches the gray men before the charging Gierdon and Aaron reach them, causing them a bit of consternation. It's enough to allow closing the distance to melee range.

Both of Tom's arrows hit, causing the two gray men that they hit to look down at the arrow sticking out of them in an odd mix of surprise crossed with incomprehension. Although neither of them falls down, they are taking out of action for some reason.

The two behind them raise their weapons, but they won't have a chance to fire before Aaron and Gierdon reach them and attack.


Meanwhile, Mort is able to activate his armband, and suddenly enlarges! Although unsure of the magical mechanism going on, Mort is surprised that he is no longer paralyzed in his enlarged form.

Gierdon takes advantage of the grays’ confusion and charges headlong, swinging his axe at the closest, the keen edge slicing deep as he connects.

19:10, Today: Gierdon Warbeard rolled 20 using 1d20+3.  To hit.

In his enlarged state, Mort quickly regained his footing and charged down the gray men hammer in hand, "Now it's my turn"  He let out a loud challenge of a roar as he rushed forward charging through them before he spun and brought his hammer to bear down upon them.  "RROOAARR...."

OOC: Mort will bull rush them.  He will not plow over any of his companions but if he has a run at several of the gray men he will plow through them.  Think of it as close lining them.

Strange Magic In Flight: Day 14 of 14

Having moved up to engage the gray men in melee, Aaron swings his sword at them again but misses. The gray man he's attacking looks confused... as if being attacked is completely foreign to him.


Gierdon has also engaged in melee, and he hits with his axe. That gray man looks down at the cut across his chest and falls over, even though the wound doesn't look all that critical.


Tom fires off two arrows and manages to hit with one. That gray man now has two arrows sticking out of him; he just stares down at the arrows... more confused than before.


Then Mort goes crashing into the gray men. He's charging down what was once a street so it's wide enough to accommodate him, and since neither Aaron or Gierdon are trying to block him, he has no problem charging past them.

Unlike a normal man that charges forth in a mostly upright position, Mort has to bend over slightly in order to use his horns effectively. Also, his new size doesn't have enough ceiling clearance for him to stand upright anyway. So, as he charges forward and further lowers his head, his new size throws him slightly off balance by the time he reaches the gray men.

He plows into the group of them, able to hit the first three because of his size. The one that fell down, however, winds up tripping him due to unstable footing and as Mort knocks all the remaining gray men down, he winds up falling down on top of all of them.

The impact drives the arrows through those that had them. On top of the charge damage, it kills both of them. It also kills the one that Gierdon had hit. The other three are knocked unconscious.

"I don't think it matters now," Dominic whispers to Mista.

"We didn't realize there so many of them... or that one was so BIG! As the saying goes, 'the enemies of my enemies are my friends'. We'd better introduce ourselves before they decide to attack us!"

He stands up from hiding and steps out into sight.

"Thank you for defeating the gray men," he calls out. "They were coming for us!"

Technically, of course, he didn't think the gray men knew he was there. For that matter, he didn't even know where 'there' was.

I move out to tie up the live ones. We don't want them running off and creating more trouble.  I also gag them so they can't talk but they can breathe.

I'm Tom.  You are?

Tom asks as he goes about his task and looks up in Dominic's direction.

Before Dominic can respond, Mista too steps out of her hiding place.

"Hello there, my name is Mista Faer and this is Dominic. I am an priestess from the lands of Glantri. We both have come here outside of our own knowings. Do you have any clue in what forsaken place we are?"

"What she said," Dominic adds.

"She can tell you how she got here. Me, I fell through the floor of some ruins and landed in the room where she was being held prisoner. There was no way back up through the ceiling... it wasn't collapsed here."

"But there were arcane symbols on the floor."

Anya had still been clambering down through the opening when the brief battle broke out. As she rushed forward, she quickly saw that the battle was all but over... and there were two new people... the verdict was still out on whether the gray men were 'people'. She had no problem with Dwarves and Elves being people, not even a minotaur or a hobgoblin. It'd made her re-examine her beliefs after encountering Mort and Rukao, and she'd realized that her concept of people had never been based on outward appearance but on how they'd acted and behaved.

"I'm sure Anneth will want to see these mysterious symbols," Anya spoke up as she reached the front. "And, for your information, Miss Mista and Dominic... you are on the moon."

She let that sink in for a moment.

Elwood lets his breath out in a rush as the gray men fall below Mort's charge and the volley of arrows. "That was close."

He rushes over to Mort's side to help the now even bigger minotaur up to his feet. "Are you hurt, Mort?" And to the newcomers, he calls back over his shoulder, "I'm Elwood. Pleased to meet you."

He shrunk back down to his normal size. "Thanks, I'm good, mostly froze me in place" Mort said as Elwood help him regain his footing.  He glanced over at the new comers, see that they did not appear to be hostile he turned his attention back to the gray men.  Figured he would let the others see to the introductions.

He looked over the fallen ones, noting if there was anything unusual about them other than their gray skin. (Head, fingers, knees & toes)

He also checked out their freeze stick that they used on him.

Rodridgo slung his bow over his shoulder and moved forward as his eyes watched the grey men currently being tied up. He stops before Mista Faer, offering a low bow speaking in soft elven "Rodrigo de Camora, son of Don Carlo De Camora of Belcadiz at your service" He offers Domonic a brief nod after his greeting.
"You have found yourself in the company of the crew of Strange Magic. We have just arrived on the moon ourselves."



OOC: I can't find the ship Name so went with Strange Magic, if that's not in please correct me. Though I did find out Rodrigo at one point of time was the one flying it all the time. And apparently was in charge or tried to be?

As Mort examines the gray men, he discovers several unusual observations.

Four of them are dead; only two are still alive but unconscious.

While it looked like they had enlarged heads, it was mostly only in comparison to their thin bodies, which he now sees are rather frail. Their heads are only slightly larger than a normal humans, but they are a bit elongated, further adding to the effect.

They have black pupil-less eyes.

Their bodies are thin and frail, slightly elongated, making them particularly susceptible to impact damage and blunt-force trauma.

Their arms and legs are thin and elongated.

They have 5 fingers and toes but the fingers are elongated.

They were wearing a type of harness over their shoulders and across their chest. It's thin and flat (probably silk) and the same color as their skin, making it hard to see. It has similar type holster on the left side clearly designed to hold their weapon. There are also several loops on it.

All six of them had the hand weapon, which is a somewhat oval-shaped ivory-colored 'stone'. It appears to have been worked, probably shaped to fit into the hand, the discharge end has a small blue stone set into it, and the body of it has a number of arcane runes carved into it.

Two of the gray men have a small gray box hanging from the loops on their harness. It's about 3" wide by 5" long by 1" thick, has a dial on the top of it and a small red crystal set in one end.

OOC: Yes, the ship's name is Strange Magic.

Aaron sheathes his blade and looks over the grey men, obviously fascinated by them.

"Interesting beasts. Strange even for the crew of the Strange Magic. Anyone know something about these guys?"

Very strange looking indeed.

OOC: I usually wait until the post count gets closer to 1,000 before starting a new thread, but Tom has a good point about changing the post name... now.

So, continue posting in the new thread as I'm closing this one.
