(4) Sophes the Avenger: yes
(4) Sophes the Avenger: what can you tells us about the the trail north

** (3) Vrryl reins in his horse, and waits patiently. **
(1) GM_Erik: after several minutes, the man comes running back with a group of 6 men.
(1) GM_Erik: two of the men are obviously more ornate than the others.
(1) GM_Erik: These two step forward and ask: Who is the representative of this group?
(4) Sophes the Avenger: what can we do for you?
(1) GM_Erik: These two step forward and ask: Who is the leader of this group?
** (4) Sophes the Avenger points to Vrryl **
** (3) Vrryl looks startled, "huh?" **
(1) GM_Erik: The two men start talking to Vrryl, but he can't quite understand them.
(2) Mika_no_Krynn: "It looks like they want to talk to you Vrryl."

(4) Sophes the Avenger: you're the boss
** (3) Vrryl blinks, "er..what:s he saying?" **
whispering to Sophes the Avenger, They're introducing themselves

(2) Mika_no_Krynn: "Good things come to those who wait."
** (4) Sophes the Avenger introduces Vrryl **
** (3) Vrryl sighs and charges his tattoo. "My apologies, I could not understand you before. I can now. Greetings." **
(1) Chieftan: We are the chieftans of this area, are you the leader of this group?
(1) Chieftan: We heard you are travelling north, is there some purpose for which you are journeying?
(3) Vrryl: ??
** (2) Mika_no_Krynn stares at Vrryl, increasingly impatiently... **
** (3) Vrryl shrugs, "We have no real leader of the group. We are simply travellers working our way northward towards a great evil." **
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans converse with eachother
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans: Your coming has been foretold. We wish to help you any way we can.
** (3) Vrryl raises an eyebrow. "Er..." **
** (3) Vrryl looks back at the party, "They um... say they wish to help us." **
** (4) Sophes the Avenger mutters "That's what people always tell you when they want you to do something bad" **
(2) Mika_no_Krynn: "Well what can they do? Why do they want to help us?"
(1) Chieftan: We do not have much, but we will provide whatever we can.
** (3) Vrryl turns back to the Chieftan, "A thousand thanks. I am not sure what help we need, but let me confer with my comrades." That said, the mage slips off his horse, and motions for a mini conference. **
** (2) Mika_no_Krynn strolls over to where Vrryl stands. "So what do you think?" **
(4) Sophes the Avenger: I say the more the merrier
(2) Mika_no_Krynn: "We could use some more troops, these horsemen have been wearing down our ranks."
(3) Vrryl: Ya, we want to fill our ranks up though with these guys? Squishies don:t have the best survival success when their with us...
(2) Mika_no_Krynn: "True, but they can split the attention of the enemy. Can't hurt if they come along. Plus they probably know the territory quite well."
** (3) Vrryl nods, "Fair enough. How many people do we need, and is their anything else we could ask of them?" **
(8) Jessica: Who knows, they could have a nice suprise... even the squishiest of people can product amazing results in extreme conditions
(8) Jessica: if all else fails they'll save us from a fatal shot or two
(1) GM_Erik: Booting '(4) Sophes the Avenger' from room...
(4) Sophes the Avenger (exit): 21:32
(3) Vrryl: "True."
(2) Mika_no_Krynn: "Well let us see what they can offer. A few able bodies would be nice. I don't think they can offer too much in the way of firepower, but who knows."
(10) Sophes (enter): 21:32
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (10) Sophes...
** (3) Vrryl nods in agreement, and returns to the Chieftans. "Again, we thank you. We are curious, what help are you willing to offer?" **
** (10) Sophes the Avenger nods **
** (2) Mika_no_Krynn nods in agreement with Sophes' nod. **
(1) Chieftan: Let's return to the closer village and discuss matters. But we are willing to offer what supplies we can and possibly some manpower to assist you in your quest
(3) Vrryl: "We thank you greatly. We shall follow to your village. But... we do not wish to mislead you. Our quest is most dangerous..."
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans indicate for you to follow them, and they begin walking away from the battle.
** (3) Vrryl hops back on his horse. "They want us to follow to their village to discuss details. Objections?" **
** (2) Mika no Krynn shrugs, and begins to follow. "You're the leader." **
(8) Jessica: nope
(8) Jessica: none whatsoever
** (10) Sophes the Avenger follows **
(1) GM_Erik: You follow them through the former battle back towards a village off in the distance.
(1) GM_Erik: You walk past groups of wounded where people are bleeding terribly and others are trying to help them.
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Looks like the aftermath of a drinking party in Vahalla."
(3) Vrryl: "I would chuckle, but it may be misunderstood by the locals."
(10) Sophes the Avenger: looks like the aftermath of me drinking
(10) Sophes the Avenger: [1d20+1] -> [8,1] = (9)
whispering to Vrryl, Most of the people don't look too healthy
** (10) Sophes the Avenger walks on blissfully ignorant **
(3) Vrryl (whispering): like... starving unhealthy?
whispering to Vrryl, some look sick, others look pretty thin
(3) Vrryl: "They:re not looking so good..."
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Who?"
(3) Vrryl: "These people."
(3) Vrryl: "Look at them... they:re starving and sick..."
(8) Jessica: you can only do so much.... in the end everyone dies
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Well they did just conclude a battle. But you're right, they looks pretty grim... must be on the right track."
(3) Vrryl: "Guess so."
** (3) Vrryl slows. "Anyone want to help?" **
** (8) Jessica grins, ""What's in it for me?" **
(10) Sophes the Avenger: well I guess it's sorta on our way. even if it's a long walk
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Well we could set up a triage centre, couldn't hurt our cause.
(3) Vrryl: "I:ll give you a candy."
(2) Mika no Krynn: "So that's what you call it now?"
(3) Vrryl: "It:s what the kids are calling it these days."
(8) Jessica: as long as it's made of pure gold and approximately 31 oz..
(1) GM_Erik: Katrina volunteers to stay behind and help the wounded.
(3) Vrryl: "Its made of dragon flesh, and weighs the same as my fist."
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Perhaps someone should stay behind with Katrina, just in case."
** (3) Vrryl grins affably. **
(10) Sophes the Avenger: I can help her out and handle any trouble
(8) Jessica: Ahh Vrryl, always playing the hero
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Ok, great... it's decided. We'll travel on and you can stay with Kat and tend to the wounded."
(3) Vrryl: "Ya ya, just keeping alive those who can help us."
(1) GM_Erik: a few others stay behind as well.
(1) GM_Erik: The group travels on, and eventually approaches a village made of local materials, fronds, wood, branches, etc.
(1) GM_Erik: Women and small children poke their heads out of the huts to gape at the outsiders
** (1) Mika no Krynn ooks like a monkey. **
** (2) Mika no Krynn looks on in amazement at the marvel of the architecture. **
** (10) Sophes the Avenger heal, heal, heal, watch for trouble. heal, heal, heal **
** (3) Vrryl would gape back, but that might signal the wrong message. **
(1) GM_Erik: Many of the women and children look emaciated.
(3) Vrryl: "They look emaciated."
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans lead you to a small clearing in the center of the village, and squat down at the edge facing inside.
(1) GM_Erik: They give instructions to other people who walk off and come back with some food in wooden bowls and some water in clay containers.
** (2) Mika no Krynn follows suit and squats down by them. **
** (3) Vrryl does likewise. **
** (3) Vrryl nods his thanks, and accepts a tiny portion of their offer. **
(1) GM_Erik: They nod.
** (2) Mika no Krynn take a small chunk of bread and a healthy drink of water. **
(1) GM_Erik: A Chieftan says: We will provide whatever we can while you are staying here. Is there anything specific you need?
(1) GM_Erik: Mika notices the water is somewhat brown.
(1) GM_Erik: Mika manages to not spit out the foul tasting water.
** (2) Mika no Krynn makes a odd face after downing the water and begins casting a minor spell. **
** (2) Mika no Krynn casts Purification on the food and water. **
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans look on curiously as Mika casts her spell, and therir eyes open wide when they see the change to the water.
(2) Mika no Krynn: "There we go. Much nicer now."
(3) Vrryl: "Cute trick."
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans try some of the water after giving first chances to others, they then try some and are very grateful to Mika. They start thanking Mika profusely.
(2) Mika no Krynn: "I'm all about cute..."
(8) Jessica: how little they really know.....
** (2) Mika no Krynn smirks at Vrryl, "See cute works every time." **
(1) GM_Erik: The chieftans offer you 20 of their warriors.
(3) Vrryl: "Thank you for your hospitality, but we must speak business. Time is essential.
** (3) Vrryl gasps, "Twenty! You are too kind." **
(1) Chieftan: It is what we can afford. We have recently acquired less need for warriors.
They will be here shortly.
** (2) Mika no Krynn pokes Vrry, "Ask them if they need any more food or water purified? I'll do it before we set out." **
(1) GM_Erik: After some arrangement, the 20 warriors gather near the clearing.
** (3) Vrryl nods, "My companion wishes to know if you have a water supply you wish cleansed?" **
(1) GM_Erik: It doesn't take too much effort to notice they don't look too healthy. They are better than some of the others, but they still look undernourished.
** (3) Vrryl stands and greets each warrior. **
** (2) Mika no Krynn sets about purifying the food and water supplies of the village as Vrryl looks over the warriors. **
(1) GM_Erik: Mika notices nearly all the food in the village (and there isn't much) is not very clean
** (2) Mika no Krynn goes about diligently cleansing the village's food and water supplies, as meager as they are. **
** (8) Jessica takes a quick nap on top of a hut **
(3) Vrryl: "May I ask... when did your villages begin to suffer so?"
** (10) Sophes the Avenger continues to help katrina and keep and ieye out for trouble **
(1) Chieftan: about one moon ago.
** (3) Vrryl nods. "Did it come to the villages all at once, or take each village one by one?" **
(1) GM_Erik: the Chieftans look at eachother and talk about when it started.
(1) GM_Erik: They are suprised that they both began having similar problems about the same time.
(3) Vrryl: "I understand."
(3) Vrryl: "Would you mind us camping nearby for this night? It is getting late and we must set up camp soon. We have our own supplies, so will not need to take from your shortages."
(1) Chieftan: No, you may stay here. We mean to help you in any way we can.
(3) Vrryl: "Again, our thanks." Bows his head. "You mentioned earlier, that our coming was foretold... how did you mean?"
(1) Chieftan: A powerful god told us the coming was foretold.
(1) Chieftan: A powerful god told us the coming was foretold.
(1) Chieftan: A powerful god foretold the coming.
** (2) Mika no Krynn casts Cleanse on herself after finishing her purification duties and looks for Daniel to settle down for the night. **
(3) Vrryl: "Interesting. Again, our thanks." The mage turrns to the warriors. "We will leave come morning. Please take this time for yourselves. Our mission may be long and perilious. Join only if your hearts are willing."
(1) Chieftan: You are too kind.
(1) Chieftan: We were supposed to help you.
** (8) Jessica rolls off the top of the hut, floats in mid air and slowly flies to a clearing outside of town to setup her tent for the night **
(1) GM_Erik: The next day comes.
** (2) Mika no Krynn packs up in the morning and readies herself to set off. **
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Shall we? Seems like we were heading in the right direction before."
(3) Vrryl: The heroes depart in the morning, 20 units larger than when it arrived.
(1) GM_Erik: The group begins heading North, albeit at a much slower pace.
** (3) Vrryl does normal travelling stuff. **
(1) GM_Erik: a few days go by, progress remains slow, as the terrain gets more hilly, and several of the warriors need to be cured of disease.
(1) GM_Erik: Katrina cures the warriors.
(1) GM_Erik: [1d100] -> [57] = (57)
** (3) Vrryl suggests developing a Famine battle plan. **
(1) GM_Erik: Well, it seems apparent to everyone after a time that they are entering familiar territory, near where they encountered DEATH before. The towns were to the north of their current location.
** (2) Mika no Krynn casts Fly as the Eagle on Sophes. She then teams up with Vrryl as Sophes goes with Jessica to do recon ahead of the team. **
(8) Jessica: come on slowpoke, let's go
** (8) Jessica lifts up and zooms off **
** (10) Sophes the Avenger flys off with jessica **

(1) GM_Erik: the town looks large enough to have hundreds of people
** (3) Vrryl radios this back. **
(3) Vrryl: "Mika, shall we?"
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Lets go check it out..."
** (2) Mika no Krynn banks off towards the town. **
** (3) Vrryl engages his shrink ring and is reduced to half size. **
(1) GM_Erik: As you approach the town, you see crowds of people lining up.
(1) GM_Erik: like everyone in town is taking part in a mass exodus
** (3) Vrryl radios this arising information back. **
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Hm... what do we have here?"
(2) Mika no Krynn: me approaches the town slowly, trying to take in exactly what the people are doing and how they look.
(1) GM_Erik: You see that there are some overseers to the whole operation, and they look over twice as large as many of the people
(3) Vrryl: "Splugorth??"
(1) GM_Erik: make Demon Monster rolls.
(1) GM_Erik: You see one Alu Demon, and a Tauton overseeing the mass movement of people.
** (2) Mika no Krynn radios the main group, "Looks like we have some lackies of the Pheonix Empire here... an Alu Demon and a Tauton herding up a town." **
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Lets head back and regroup Vrryl, then we'll take these bastards out. Could probably get some info from these guys."
(10) Sophes the Avenger: on my way.
(1) GM_Erik: Victor: Be careful, don't engage them, there may be more.
(3) Vrryl: "Sophes and Jess, how long will it take you to get to our position?"
(1) GM_Erik: 15 minutes
(10) Sophes the Avenger: a week
(8) Jessica: Roger, I'll head on over
(3) Vrryl: "We'll keep observation in the meantime."
(10) Sophes the Avenger: [1d100-78] -> [90,-78] = (12)
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Go in for some close-up recon Vrryl, I'll cover you."

** (3) Vrryl shifts himself into a buzzard instead)) **
(1) GM_Erik: Vrryl sees one more Alu Demon, one more Tauton, and two Dybbuks with Hell Hounds on leashes.

** (2) Mika no Krynn awaits the arrival of Jessica and Sophes. **
** (10) Sophes the Avenger flying fast **
** (3) Vrryl gathers the intell, then returns to Mika:s position. He reports his findings to the party via the radio. **
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Well do we want to take these guys out?"
(2) Mika no Krynn: "Six on four... kinda tough."
(10) Sophes the Avenger: we could bring some re-enforcements form the column
(10) Sophes the Avenger: not everybody has to stay there
(2) Mika no Krynn: "True, we could use a couple more guys at least. At least out number them."
(8) Jessica: I don't think that these are good odds for us right now
** (2) Mika no Krynn radios the main group, "Move up to our position guys. Sir Thorpe, Lazlo, and Daniel move at speed and maybe bring a couple of others so we can begin planning an assault strategy." **
