Yin
  At Dawnton Yin and Yang find Diridon the Dashing has been arrested for murder and is set to be hanged in a week.  He says he is innocent, well innocent of murder anyway (nudge, wink).  So you investigate and determine he was setup and during the investigation you meet an  inquisitor who seems to have a personal grudge against Diridon.  Ekira Corum is a human female inquisitor of the church of Iomedae(LG) and claims to be a daughter of Diridon (her mom died a few years ago from an orc attack).  It turns out she was being manipulated by a demon (Quasit) who has a "minion" named Dalton Krunne (a serial killer).  While an injured Yin convinces Erika she is wrong, Yang dies from a burning hands from the demon.  Erika kills Krunne and drives off the Quasit.
  Freed from jail and cleared of the charges Diridon admits that he isn't the original Diridon the Dashing.  He met the original Diridon several years ago, and took on the name to seduce women.  The original Diridon hasn't used this name for years, too much "baggage".  Yes, the original does reincarnate.  No, this Diridon knows nothing about a curse on your mother.  He does owe you and will give you a Handy Haversack, Ungent of Timelessness (to preserve a lock of Yangs hair - if you want to reincarnate/raise him) and a gem that allows you to use the Silent metamagic feat 1/day (his bards spells can't use it).
  While tracking down Conan/Bobble/Makoto she ends up in a small caravan riding with a "10yr old"(human equivalent) noble halfelf girl with a "large" human female guardian(uses 2 gloves with claws and hide armor with a lion motif).  She has a beautiful singing voice, keeps changing names and seems to be able to brighten your grief at least a little.  She is going your direction for some reason (following a magical compass).  In Laketown Yin meets her halfsister Arran Brewe, halforc (actually 1/4 orc with strong orcish heritage= 1/2orc), female, 18, cleric of pharasma, apprentice midwife.  Her mother (human) has recently fallen "ill" (the same illness/curse/whatever that Conan, Yin and Bobble's mother has).  Arran has met Bobble, Conan and Makoto and can tell you they went to Silverhalls.  It seems the strange little girl's compass is also pointing to Silverhalls.

Conan/Bobble/Makoto
  The group prepares to leave and, as the heroes who defeated 2 bandit groups, they have no problems with the merchants in town. Bobble buys a small sized +1 dagger that was made by Marek before it was enchanted by a local spellcaster.
  Eventually Yin shows up in the company of the strange little halfelf girl and her guardian.  After consulting a compass the girl demands that Conan give her bird back.  After some tense discussion, Conan convinces her he has no idea what she is talking about.  After some experimentation it is determined that the little girls compass is pointing to the wayfinder Conan carries.  Bobble has heard that some wayfinders have hidden compartments, but searching the wayfinder reveals nothing.  Magic must be involved.
  Searching the other items from the same location (the dead body from the Inn that was killed by the mimic) you discover a hidden Bottle of Messages inside the potion of jump.   Breaking the potion of jump and releasing the Bottle of Messages reveals a word, "Open" in draconic.  Smuggling without the smuggler knowing how to open the wayfinder would prevent the smuggler from finding out what they are smuggling and would tend to indicate espionage as opposed to smuggling for profit.

  The command word does open up a small compartment and inside are several small figurines, including a small bird.  You have found her bird.  The strange young girl is actually a demigoddess (Shelyn like, all about arts, beauty and music) and will reward you for helping her.  She thinks Conan has a beautiful soul, and will give him cleric levels and he needs to start making pretty things.  Bobble will get the power to form a catlike creature from celestial energy (summoner levels).  Yin will find her brothers spirit is close at hand, sor levels.  Makoto will get alchemist levels.

More to come....

Bobble will offer his sincerest condolences for the loss of the twin Yang. Will also summon his new cat friend and introduce him around. He speaks the same languages as me if I read it correctly?

You all see a medium sized orange furred tabby cat, standing on his back legs, and wearing a black fedora.

Conan will also offer his condolences for the loss of Yang.   Regarding the Demigoddess, he kind of stutters his thanks, overawed by the whole experience, but to show his official gratitude, he'll sing out in a perfect bass baritone voice, "Oh, thank you.'   Singing is just a passing hobby of his but he hasn't sung in a great while, and most people don't get to hear his voice.   (This should get some head turning by all three of the PC's/ NPC, because nothing so pure and beautiful has ever came out of his mouth so far.)   He will also sketch on the ground a preliminary blacksmith mark he is toying with, in the hopes of getting some advice from his Patron Deity.

  The little girl decides you can call her Maple, for now.  And she doesn't give advice, "Art and beauty must come from within you.  If I helped, then it wouldn't be your art.  That's not to say you can't collaborate with someone and I will help, in my own way.  Anyway, now that I have my bird I must be going home.  Why don't you make a nice bird symbol for your 1st task, that would be nice."  Before you leave Conan needs to forge himself a holy symbol.  Makoto can help with a Crafters Fortune infusion(+5) and it takes Conan 1 day to make an iron holy symbol of Maple's songbird.
  The next day, armed with a detailed description of the current (halfelf) Diridon, you leave the city following the direction he went with the elven caravan.  This takes you the same way you went to find Landers.  How do you want to include the Yin, new cat ally and warhorse in your marching order.
Bobble/dogs - in front?
Makoto/Cart/Goat/Mule - middle
Conan -?
Warhorse - ?
Conover - ranging on flanks?
Yin- riding with Makoto?
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:18, Sun 12 July 2020.

Conan should be out front in wild areas, and switch with Bobble in built up areas. Just an idea. Yes, Yin should ride with Makoto. Bobble will ride Tucker, and his new cat friend will be nearby. The two guard dogs will stay near the cart as Bobble has instructed them to guard Makoto as their primary.

Also, Makoto can invest a protective luck hex, do you want to normally start the day with them invested?  She can give Conan a enlarge person infusion for free, Bobble and Yin can have either Shield or Expeditious Retreat as an infusion for free.

Bobble will take the infusion of expeditious speed.

Conan out in front in the wilderness and Bobble anywhere else is fine by me.   Just a suggestion to Makoto regarding her infusions, I would gladly take an enlarged person on hand for combat but a expeditious retreat infusion all the time for when I'm scouting out in front of the party.   Is the Protective Luck Hex can that be made into an infusion, if so, I'll take one for scouting purposes.   Yin can ride Mako, my horse, if she wants.   Since the wagon is on the road with everything else in the party parse, Conan will be on the left flank and front and Conover will be on the right flank and front.

Bobble, Conan and Yin have been invested with a Protective Luck hex set to activate when attacked. Infusions; Conan = Enlarge Person; Bobble =  Expeditious Retreat and Yin = ???


The road narrows here, leading over a well-worn stone bridge that crosses a stream. Trees dot the landscape to both sides of the bridge, and the rushing of water and the croaking of frogs give the scene an air of tranquility.  As you approach the bridge you notice a large sized bird(male) standing near the road in front of a small rise and near it another large bird(female) sitting on a nest on top of the small rise.  Makoto gasps and says "Be careful, no sudden moves, Axe Beaks are...", and as Makoto is giving her warning the bird charges at Conan suddenly and without warning, "...nesting and likely very aggressive...very, very aggressive."  She sighs sets the wagon brake and cast mage armor.  The Axe Beak closes the distance quickly and attacks Conan, sweeping his legs out from under him (free trip, the protctive luck activate but the axe beak hits anyway- barely) and doing 6 dam.  The female Axe Beak on the nest carefully gets up and and moves toward her mate, squawking loudly.

- No surprise round but Makoto was the only one to go before the Axe Beaks.
- Conan is currently prone.
- Bobble is riding his riding dog(golden retriever).
- Bobbles 2 guard dogs are on the cart with Makoto and Yin
- Conan's warhorse is tied up with the mule and goat

It is now your turn

Rebel should also be with Bobble. Bobble will double move after dropping off of Tucker. He will call Rebel into a flanking position across from him.  Once they are both in position Bobble will attack once and Rebel will go for a bite.

However, best laid plans and all that... Bobble falls while trying to dismount off of his
Riding dog and ends up not getting to an attack position. Rebel will stop next to Bobble to protect him until he is able to get up and move.

Round 1
  Bobble urges his dog forward and around the tall bird's 10' reach.  As Tucker reaches the far side of the bird Bobble acrobatically dismounts in front of the dog and draws out his daggers.  Rebel charges in from the other side acrobatically avoiding the birds claws and pounces, the bite does 8 but the claws miss (rolled 1 and 2).  Conan reaches out and touches the birds claw and the bird starts shaking it's head, then Conan stand up.  Conover charges in and misses.  Yin says something in Celestial and then stares at Conan for a moment and he feels a soothing feeling come over him. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.

Round 2
  Makoto will also get out of the cart and then observe the battle carefully, ready to act.  AxeBeakM keeps shanking it head, dazed.  AxeBeakF moves forward to attack Bobble, and when it gets to the right spot Makoto drops a Glitter dust on the 2 birds.  The male manages to avoid getting dust in his eyes, but the female is blinded from the dust and she misses Bobble (activating Protective Luck).  At the end of his turn the male regains his wits and can act again.

Your turn.
- Bobble cannot attack.  You do not normally ride with daggers out.  So you ride over with Tucker (takes no actions to do this), take a move action to dismount (I rolled for fast dismount and you failed) and a move action to draw your daggers.  Yes, drawing a weapon can be combined with a move, but dismount not a move action it can be combined with.  See https://aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?...&Category=Combat Actions in Combat table subscript 3.

The male bird goes down from Bobble and Rebels hits.

Note;

"Bobble hold off killing this one in case she has babies, Let me try to calm her down and scare her off back to her nest.   It's either that, killing her and taking her young to a druid to watch over or she could do it."   Says Conan holding up his hands before he even moves a muscle.    Miss Makoto or dear Sister Yin, do you have anything that could help me calm this bird down so that its young can have a parent in the wild as verse to being raised in civilization."   He say loud enough for those back at the wagon can hear.


OOC: 13:56, Today: Conan rolled 23 using 1d20+5.  Wild Empathy roll.
(This is the base roll of WILD EMPATHY, that I rolled using Diplomacy, Ranger Level, and -1 CHARISMA Modifier.   This is without any minuses for penalties or bonuses from what either Makoto or Yin can help me with.)

Round 2
  Bobble and Rebel double team the male bird and it drops to the ground, bleeding.  Conan starts trying to calm the female bird down.  At the start of Yin's turn, Conan heals 5 dam while Yin takes 5 dam.  Yin does not respond to Conan's request (she can't understand what he is saying), she casts a mage armor spell before moving 5' and grabbing the reins of the nervous carthorse.  Since Conan is ignoring his dog, Conover attacks the downed male, killing it. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.

Round 3
  Makoto says, "I can probably give you a few rounds to calm it" as she moves forward and casts a spell, the female birds shadow looks odd for a moment but then goes back to normal (the bird made it's saving throw).  AxeBeakF continues to attack Bobble (Bite,claw,claw), and she misses Bobble.  At the end of her turn the female regains her sight.  Conan realizes, the dead male, barking dogs, so many targets are too much to overcome with a wild empathy check.  Wild Empathy/Diplomacy is not the most effective tool in the middle of combat.  Suddenly from out of nowhere, a swarm of bats appears around Conan and Makoto, doing 2 dam and the wounds are bleeding 1 dam a round.  Both Makoto and Conan avoid being distracted (for dc 11).

Your turn.
- The birds are rolling really good on saving throws.
- Conan, I reread your your Dazing Touch power, I suggest you reread it before using it again.
- The bat swarm is immune to weapon damage. 

Bobble and Rebel will move to attack the female bird. Bobble only needs to move 5’ but Rebel has to move a bit more so he will make a pounce attack from a flanking position.

Since this is all based on what Bobble wants Rebel to do, and because the distance is a little far for an effective charge (plus not knowing how high up the bird is), I will put away my sword, take out my bow and use one of those special magical beast bane arrows that we have, when necessary.    Conan will send Conover in to bear bait the bird from the tree if at all possible so that he can use that special arrow against this creature.

Conan takes out his bow and looks at the tree, but sees no bird.  The tree is 30' tall and Makoto was pointing towards the middle, so this spellcasting bird is probably 20' or so high.  As Conover starts moving to the tree, he suddenly starts running strange as he gets past the dead male bird/off the bridge, as if he is running on glass.  He slows down and is limping along at half speed after taking 5 damage.  He makes it to the tree and starts barking, but is obviously in pain.

Conan; are you going to drop your mace or take an action to put it away?
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:30, Wed 15 July 2020.

Bobble sees what happened to Conover and suspects a spell on the ground. He will cross over the bridge to the far side of the river, and will put his daggers away as he moves.  He will double move to get as close to the tree as possible from the far side of the river. Rebel will stick with him. He will tell Tucker to stay where he is.

In reply to aFate (msg # 23):

I am going to drop the mace.    Since Conover is hurting, Conan will tell him to quit barking and lay down close by, about 5' away from the tree but still under the canopy of it though.

Round 4
  Conan drops his magic mace, takes out his bow and looks at the tree, but sees no bird.  The tree is 30' tall and Makoto was pointing towards the middle, so this spellcasting bird is probably 20' or so high.  As Conover starts moving to the tree, he suddenly starts running strange as he gets past the dead male bird/off the bridge, as if he is running on glass.  He slows down and is limping along at half speed after taking 5 damage.  He makes it to the tree and starts barking, but is obviously in pain.  Conan readies to shoot if he sees a bird.  Bobble and Rebel move to the other side of the river as he puts away his daggers.  The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking around excitedly.

Round 5
  Makoto bleeds as she moves forward to get a better look at the tree, drawing out her bolas.  She mutters "That spell effect sounds familiar..."(She missed her roll by 1).  She seems ready to throw her weapon if the chance presents itself.  Yin starts moving forward and encounters the same "walking on glass" ground as Conover did.  She suffers 6 dam but manages to avoid the worst of it with her high dex and is not moving at half speed (made her ref save to avoid moving at 1/2 speed).  She channels positive energy and heals herself, Makoto and Conover 9 dam.  Conover starts moving at full speed again and Makoto stops bleeding.  From out of a clear sky Yin is struck by a bolt of lightning and takes 10 dam.  The carthorse flinches from the nearness of the lightning bolt, but doesn't move. 

Your turn.
- Sheathing a weapon may NOT be combined with a move like drawing a weapon can.
- the squares doing dam allow a ref save(dc 17) to avoid "move at half speed"

Bobble will stop where he is on the bridge after spotting the bird. He will shoot at it once after readying his bow. He will also call Rebel back over time him.

Conan does not see any bird, though Bobble apparently sees something and shoots an arrow at the tree.

Conan will put his bow in one hand and his mace in the other, since the bird that both Bobble and Makoto can see is invisible to him at least, or it could be that Conan is visually challenged.    Conan will move along his side of the river's edge towards the tree, following the curve of the bank on the right side he'll go around the first tree and come at the main tree.

Round 5
  Bobble stops and shoots, but is pretty sure he didn't hit.    Rebel moves over near Bobble and looks around.  Conan picks up his magic mace, moves toward the combat going along the river bank.  As soon as he passed tucker, the grass felt like it was glass, sharp and spikey even though it looked normal.  Conan takes 2 dam on his legs but manages to avoid having to limp (made his save, so he can still move at full speed).  As Conan moves forward the grass goes back to normal.  Conover remains where he is, looking at the tree silently.  The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking around excitedly.

Round 6
  Makoto says something to Yin in Celestial before moving under the tree.  Yin also moves forward under the tree and looks up.  Neither of them see anything.  Yin casts clw, healing 6 dam.  Makoto pulls out a wand.  From 25' up the tree you hear a bird making very strange noises (casting a spell).  Makoto yells out, "He enspelled more Spike Growth areas, I think it's a druid in eagle form and it can see through the leaves, watch out."  After casting, the bird (a small sized brown eagle or hawk) hops around the tree trunk using the branches as cover/concealment for stealth.  Both Makoto and Yin feel the ground beneath their feet turn spikey, though as long as you don't move you don't take damage.  Conover shifts uncomfortably, he too is probably under the effects of the spike growth.

Makoto and Yin will use levitate to get Yin up, says something in Celestial up the tree where she uses Burning Hands.

Conan will move closer to the tree from where he is, putting his mace away while he is walking and after that getting an arrow ready to fire, once he sees the bird.

Round 6
  Bobble stops and shoots and for a second he thinks he might hit, but he hit a branch (with cover ac 22+).  Rebel moves forward and as he gets to Tucker he leaps of the bridge side wall jumping 20'(to K8), runs around the brush and takes 4 damage from some spike growth (in L6; makes save) before leaping 10' into the tree.  Conan puts his magic mace away and moves forward (see note on post 26 about sheathing weapons) through the undergrowth along the river.  The ground beneath the undergrowth is spike growth, Conan takes 7 dam and is moving at 1/2 speed.  Conover having been forgotten by Conan (not even mentioned in his last post) and not liking the feel of the ground moves forward next to Makoto into even more Spike Growth. He takes 4 dam and is limping at 1/2 speed.  The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking at Bobble approaching him.

Round 7
  On Yin's turn Conan is healed 5 hp(and his 1/2 speed effect is healed as well) and Yin takes 5hp.  Makoto and Yin converse in Celestial before Makoto puts away her bola and uses levitate on Yin.  Yin starts levitating up the tree, until she is 20' high where she finally sees the bird (a brown small sized eagle).  She uses burning hands and the top of the tree erupts in flame, 13dam, the bird shows excellent reflexes and manages to avoid the worst of the flames.  The tree isn't quite on fire, but is smoldering and smoking.  Not enough smoke to affect anyone, yet.  The Brown Eagle flutters down 5', putting Yin between it and Conan and Bobble, and full attacks her, hitting all 3 times for 9 dam).  The bird has less str than a normal eagle and did less damage.


Your turn.
- The Brown Eagle is directly above Makoto, 20' up.
- https://aonprd.com/SpellDispla...mName=Spike%20Growth
- the squares do 1d4 dam/5' and allow a ref save(dc 17) to avoid "move at half speed"
- to see it,
Makoto/Yin/Bobble know what square it is in but Bobble needs a dc 23 perception roll (success= 20% miss chance, fail= 50% miss chance),
Conan can't see from where he is in the undergrowth, move forward 5' and he needs a dc 20 perception roll (success= 20% miss chance, fail= 50% miss chance)
- The Brown Eagle got a little lucky to hit all 3 time and did max dam on all 3 hits.
- I added grid coordinates for you to use, if you choose not to be specific I will interpret your actions as best I can, but not necessarily to your characters benefit.
- any ranged attacks are going to be at -8 (-4 in melee, -4 cover) + probably miss chance from concealment(the leaves)

Yin has Makoto lower her down and then channels positive energy, says something in Celestial, that sound unusually harsh, possibly a curse word.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:31, Sat 18 July 2020.

Conan, Rebel, Conover and Yin will all be healed 8 dam by Yin's channel.  Conover is cured of "move at 1/2 speed".

Conan moves forward toward the combat, pulling out his infusion and taking it.

Bobble will move towards the tree at normal speed and will continue to look for the eagle. If he gets a shot at the eagle he will take it. Rebel will   try to get a melee attack on the bird as well. Please roll for me working on getting stuff out of our old house.

Round 7
  Conan finds his connection with Yin is stopped(no more lifelink) as he slogs his way through the undergrowth (1 dam), pulling out his infusion and taking it. Conover waits near Makoto as his feet are hurting.  As he enlarges, he feels his front half is in spike growth and his back half is out of spike growth.  Bobble moves forward but doesn't get a good view of his target.  He walks through 10' of spike growth, suffering 6 damage and limping at 1/2 speed.  Rebel reaches up and "jumps"/pulls himself up 5' and attacks the bird from below, managing to score 1 claw hit for 4 dam. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking as Bobble moves past him.

Round 8
  Makoto and Yin converse in Celestial before Makoto lowers Yin back down.  The Eagle bites her for 3 more damage as an AOO.   Yin channels again, healing everyone 8 dam and removing any "moves at 1/2 speed" effects.  Makoto uses the wand on Yin, healing 4 dam.  The Brown Eagle flutters up 5' away from Rebel and casts a spell, all his wounds heal.

Your turn.
- The Brown Eagle is directly above Conover, 25' up.
- By the way the Eagle is moving around the tree it's like the tree is getting out of the way.  Yeah, it's a druid with Woodland stride.

Hey Mr Eagle! I would guess you are a Druid? Why are you attacking us? We were just traveling through here and meant no harm to anyone or anything. We are good guys trying to right a wrong. The birds attacked us and we defended ourselves. No reason for you to die here today.

As he speaks Bobble will continue moving forward, scanning the tree for the bird. He prepares to use acid splash once close enough if the bird continues attacking.

The Eagle Druid squawks angrily at Bobble.
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:57, Sun 19 July 2020.

  Yin will wait until everyone has acted and suffered damage from the spike growth, and then channel energy again.

Conan will move closer to the tree with the bird in it (5' forward), dropping his bow and drawing his long knife (dagger).   Once at the tree, Conan will grab a heavier branch to hang onto.    He will then use the branch to reach up to the bird/ druid and then possibly to hit him.

Round 8
    Bobble moves forward for the best angle and goes through 5' of spikes, taking 3 dam and makes his save, readies an action to cast a spell.  Rebel reaches up and "jumps"/pulls himself up 5' (Over Makoto) and attacks the bird from below, but misses. Conan drops his bow, moves forward using branches to get off the ground and up 5' as he pulls out is "dagger" and stabs at the bird from below, a slashing or blunt weapon would be hard to use in this tree.  1 hand is grabbing a branch, the other is holding his "dagger" and he hits, dealing 10 dam.  Conover waits near Makoto. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker stays were he is looking as Bobble moves past him.

Round 9
  Makoto casts a glitterdust spell on the bird which is covered in glittery sparkles, but is not blinded.  Yin channels again, healing everyone 7 dam and removing any "moves at 1/2 speed" effects.  The Brown Eagle starts flying away giving Rebel and Conan an Aoo, which Conan hits, doing 8 dam.  Bobble casts his acid splash dealing 2 dam.  The eagle moves 60', looks back and a bolt of lightning hits both Rebel(8 failed ref) and Makoto(4 saved).

Conan will put his long knife in the ground to mark where he put his bow, to come back for it.   With blood in his eyes partly because this bird/ druid kept nickel and dimming us for damage but wouldn't leave us alone as well.   Conan will say, "Conover on me."   When the dog comes over to me, he'll whisper in his ears with a sad and war lorn look away and send the dog rushing towards the bird barking, baiting the bird to do something to the dog.   Conan will follow suit a few heartbeats after Conover's charge with a charge of his own with his sword out which he took out while he put the dagger in the ground.   "This ends now, Druid."   Conan says in Orcish and as he is yelling a Ork war cry.

(realizing that Conan failed his reflex save, he's going at half speed, can I either set up the charge for the end of this round or the next.)

Round 9
    Bobble hits the bird with an arrow for 6 dam.  Rebel just says, "I'm on it" as he jumps down 10'(right above Yin), out 15', moves 10', jumps over the same patch of ground he jumped over before, moves past a startled Tucker and ends up almost below the Eagle Druid.  Conan sends Conover rushing after the bird following Rebel.  However, Conover is just a dog and isn't as smart as rebel so doesn't know when to jump.  So he ends up moving through several squares of Spike Growth and takes 14 dam, but manages to avoid any major foot damage (successful save).  Meanwhile, Conan drops his "dagger" and moves after his dog, drawing his sword as he moves.  Conan almost immediately gets a painful limp and starts moving at 1/2 speed and takes 8 dam. The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.  Tucker can stand it no longer and takes off after Conover, barking at the bird.

Round 10
  Makoto reaches and grabs Yin by the ankle, and using her 10' reach with her robe to clear the branches, pulls her out of the tree like a ballon.  Yin meanwhile casts a spell, and because she is now out of the tree, she doesn't have a miss chance.  A beam of light projects out of her palm and hits the bird for 5 dam.  The Brown Eagle keeps flying away into a thick tree across the river.  A bolt of lightning hits Rebel(5 dam, successful ref save).

Makoto chats with Yin and then yells to Conan, "Keep Conover there until we get in position and heal him." Then she tows Yin forward and Yin will channel positive energy.

Conan will do as Makoto asks and command Conover to sit and stay until he full moves out of the spike grown ground.   Conan will also ask Miss Makoto to pick up his bow  and long knife from where he put them next to the tree where the bird had been originally, if she could that is please, given her robe is actively moving out 10' or so.   Once he gets up to where the Rebel and the dogs are he'll order Conover to go out scouting for the bird by going forward.

Bobble will move towards the bridge again and make a perception check. If he succeeds he will again shoot his bow. He will send Rebel ahead along with Tucker towards the tree:

    Bobble moves forward and shoots into the tree but doesn't appear to hit.  Rebel pause his movement to wait for Makoto and Yin...  While he does a full move forward (12 dam) Conan orders Conover to stop, waiting for Makoto/Yin to move...  Tucker waits for Rebel/Conover to move forward... The dogs bark from the cart while the goat, mule and carthorse show less signs of agitation.  The warhorse seems to be anxious as well.

Round 11
  Makoto starts moving forward holding on to Yin with her robe, trying to build up momentum and when they get 10' from the bridge she tries to pull her self up to float over the ground on the Yin "balloon".  At least that was the plan, but her grip slips and she ends up skipping across the ground (rolled a 1 to hold on, takes 4 dam).
 Yin channels positive energy healing everyone but the Axebeak for 6 dam.  Conan orders Conover forward.  ...Conover, Rebel and Tucker all move forward, with Rebel slightly behind the dogs.  Conover hits a patch of Spike Growth but is through it almost immediately and continues forward at full speed.  Rebel jumps over the same ground, and over Conover into the tree.  Tucker running alongside Conover hits a patch of Spike Growth and is limping along at 1/2 speed.  From the clear sky a lightning bolt slams into the carthorse (10 dam), which spooks the horse that tries to move away and takes (13) damage from the spike growth under it.  The carthorse collapses and is bleeding heavily.  A glittering eagle moves from the tree, off the map and into a thicker set of trees along the river.

Ok the whole golden image of an eagle thing has Bobble confused. He will lower his bow and rush over to the poor cart horse. Bobble casts Celetial Healing on the horse, giving it fast healing 1 for a few moments.

Makoto and Yin will chat in celestial and then Makoto will ask Conan, "So what are you doing?"

"Clearly with the bird moving around like he is, he's keeping his distance from Rebel and myself, the heavy hitters.   So I was thinking of luring it to us instead of constantly chasing it over this god forsaken forest."   Says Conan after he sees the bird fly off and stops near the girls of the party.   Plus after seeing the the bird fly off he'll call Conover back to him.   (When the dogs and Rebel get back to the party, Conan will just channel 2d8+3 on everyone.)

   Realizing the futility of pursuit, the group turns it's attention away from the flying druid.  Bobble heads toward the carthorse, walks into a Spike Growth, takes 2 damage and limps over to the horse and starts casting a healing spell (Celestial Healing takes 1 round to cast).  Conan calls Conover back and Tucker follows.  Makoto says to Conan, "Stay there, I'll get your bow" and tries the same thing she tried last round, using Yin as a balloon.  Only this time she succeeds and then leaves Yin floating in the air above safe ground.  She continues moving carefully till she is in grabbing range of Conan's bow (took her full round to move).  Conover heads back the way he came, jumping over the spike growth with a limping Tucker behind him (they take no more dam from Spike Growths this round).  Rebel on the other hand, without a call from Bobble, continues his pursuit of the bird.  Yin will CPE healing 7 dam to everyone except Tucker, Conover and Rebel.  The carthorse is still unconscious.  Conan CPE healing 4 dam to everyone except the carthorse and Rebel - but including the female AxeBeakF.  Suddenly Conan is right next to an awake and angry large size bird that lashs out at him hitting for 11 dam as she struggles to stand up.  Reacting to defend his master Conover crits and drags her down, dying once again.  There is another lightning bolt in those trees where Rebel and the bird druid are located.

Round 12/13
   Bobble finishes his spell and the carthorse starts healing.  Makoto grabs the bow and hands it to Conan, "Here take your bow and watch for the bird."  She pushes Yin toward the carthorse and says something in celestial   However, Yin needs to be caught by Bobble as she drifts by him.  Yin uses Handle Animal to calm the injured horse and keep it immobile. Conover and Tucker finish off the female Axebeak.  Conan grabs his bow and looks around in time to see a brown eagle fly through a gap between trees 140' away.    A few seconds later an injured Rebel emerges from the trees and starts making his way back toward the group, his tail flicking angrily.


Out of combat
  Makoto will explain that the Spike Growth spell will last hours and there are probably 10-12 20x20 areas around, so it is essential to find where the druid put them.  Unfortunately, Bobble finds he cannot take 10 to find them (+14 perception vs dc28), and he can stop the 2 dogs on the cart from barking.  He finds a smug looking Chito had tied them to the cart to prevent them from jumping down and hurting themselves on spikes.  Yin can easily handle the well trained carthorse and Conan can handle Tucker and Conover while you discuss what to do now.  Rebel reports that there are some scrolls stuck to the tree on the far side of the river.  The druid seems to have run off.

Conan, Tucker and Conover are on the bridge.
Yin and Bobble are next to/on the horse and cart.
Makoto is where she is on the map.
Rebel is hiding in the tree on the far side of the river.

Bobble will use speak with animals to talk to the horse and lead it gently out of the spike growth. Then he will get with the others and discuss the situation. We need to avoid the spike growth, not sure how much of it is on the road. Bobble can search for traps, and will mark the areas with some strips of cloth.  How about floaty girl and Makoto go get the scrolls. Conan can go pick up his weapons and mark the areas of spike growth he encounters as well...

Conan will collect his weapons from Makoto with a Thank You to her for doing that.   He'll move towards Bobble so they can start to discuss the overall situation by first taking an assessment of the animals mood and wound condition (if I have to use wild empathy I will) while waiting for for Makoto and Yin to get back to the road so that they could talk about it in earnest.   (Assuming Makoto and and Yin get the scrolls from the tree.   If not then he'll suggest we find a place to camp for the night to A. To get spells back    B. Get fully healed     C. Discuss the situation more fully in a different light [not while we're all wired up]   I was thinking in a reasonable manner like in the morning.)

Yin will agree to help Bobble get the horse out of the spike growth, using some clw to heal it as you go.  Then she will ask Bobble to clear a path to the bridge and then the tree.

Bobble    dam ;carries infusion Expeditious Retreat
Rebel  12 dam ; 29 hp/13con
Tucker    dam ; 13 hp/15con
Conan  12 dam ;

Makoto    dam ;Mage Armor

Yin   dam ;carries infusion Shield, Mage Armor

  While you are chatting about what to do, Conan seems to think he needs to help Bobble and Yin, Makoto starts to say something but then just shrugs...as if on cue, Conan steps right on some still unfound Spike Growth, taking 3 damage.  Makoto stares and says politely "I am sorry, could you not hear well enough over there where it was safe?"
  Between a clw from Yin, another channel from Conan and another celestial healing from Bobble you manage to move the horse out of the spike growth without trouble.  While this is going on, Rebel carefully collects the scrolls and moves to the bridge following his previous path.  Then Bobble clears a path to the bridge.
  While Bobble is marking the extent of the danger areas, Makoto will make and post warning signs on the road to warn any other travelers.  Conan finds 3 eggs in the nest, such fresh eggs if properly cared for can bring 1500gp each.  The scrolls are druid spells.

The question is;
1- Do you want to camp nearby to help warn travelers and do more searching for info on the druid in the morning after the spike growth is gone, but also near 2 large bodies that are sure to attract danger?
2- What do you want to do with the eggs?
3- How do you want to heal up?
4- Do something about the Axe Beak bodies?

Bobble will recommend camping near here for the night, maybe back down the road a mile or so. We could move the bodies of the birds off of the road and burn them.  Or we could roast one for Conans supper...  how near is this area to any settlements? These big bodies will draw carrion eaters for sure.

This bridge is not near any settlements, these birds are typically found away from people.

Also;
5 - Suggestions on loot?  If you want you can keep all the scrolls as group loot and let Yin try UMD on the spells that can't be used (SNA3 and Call Lightning).  That would mean shares would split 4500 = 1125gp each.

This message was last edited by the GM at 21:37, Sun 26 July 2020.

I there are no nearby settlements that should indicate there is not a lot of traffic on this road. In that case we could leave the birds after Conan shoves them into the spike growth areas. Can you eat these things? Taste like Chicken? We could take some meat with us if so, at least for the dogs to eat today. Then we could move the cart around the spike growth and continue down the road. What do you all want to do? Conan? Yin? Makoto?

Makoto wants to
1-camp by the bridge to be nearby if anyone comes and tries to ignore or can't understand the warnings.
2-take the eggs and sell them.
3-free spell/powers 1st
4-drag the bodies off the far side of the bridge (near the T1 on the map), trying the meat is fine, Bobbles the cook.  At least, all the dogs can eat good.
5-She would like the Summon Swarm scroll to add to her Witch list.  She thinks the others should be kept as group loot and let Yin try to UMD (dc25) them.

Bobble agrees with the plan. He will look over one of the birds, then get out his dagger and start to cut out manageable pieces, drumsticks, breasts, thighs.

  So you set up camp next to the bridge, carefully secure the animals so they don't wander around and setup a guard watching both roads.  After pulling the birds off the bridge, Bobble starts preparing the axebeaks for dinner.  During this phase another caravan approaches from the east.  They are at first suspicious of banditry, but the group convinces them of the truth and the caravan camps along the far side of the river.  An impromptu dinner party of barbequed axebeak takes place on the bridge.
  Bobble pulls off a good meal considering the circumstances, Yin and Conan (using Songbird/ Tap Inner Beauty) perform a good song and Makoto entertains using origami (with mage hand/prestidigitation).  They have need of some healing as well, which Yin, Makoto and Conan can help with.  For your assistance the caravans merchant will purchase the axebeak eggs, he knows someone who will buy them.  These birds are particularly large examples of axebeaks, so 1500gp is fair, normal eggs are only 1000gp.  They can also tell you they passed the elven caravan you are looking for and can tell you the elves next stop.
  The Loot; the scrolls will be party treasure and so everyone gets 1125gp from selling the eggs.  CMW and summon swarm with Makoto, Call Lightning and SNA3 with Yin.


Anything specific you want to do before the spike growth expires and you can look around for clues?
This message was last edited by the GM at 11:52, Wed 29 July 2020.

Bobble can help with a little healing as well. He has a couple more 1st level spells available so can cast a couple more holy healing...

Does the caravan have anything for sale?

Bobble, what do you want?  I will see if they have it.

---

  The presence of so many humans and camp fires prevents any larger scavengers from bothering the bird corpses.  The next morning the spike Growths are gone and you can investigate.  Trying to track is useless, druids are magically untraceable (Trackless Step), but Makoto suggests Bobble talks to some of the local wildlife.  This leads to a squirrel that remembers a humanoid (medium sized - but not human, elf or halforc) sitting at the base of the tree (L-N/2-5).  There you find a piece of animal skin parchment, the same as the 4 druid scrolls, with writing on it.  It is goblin and Bobble can read it, it is a fairly detailed description of Bobble, Conan, Makoto and Conover and their combat capabilities.  It also mentions most of the animals.  Notably missing are references to Rebel, Bobble/Conan's spellcasting and Yin.  Goblins generally don't write, but other goblinoids do, like hobgoblins for instance.  You also know that the hobgoblin bandits you brought in to town were executed before you left.
  The most likely scenario is that the 2 hobgoblins that got away (chp3, msg38) were able to give a detailed description of the group and this report led to a hobgoblin druid hunting you.  This looks like a well prepared and executed ambush, something the military minded hobgoblins are know for.  And for some reason this druid is seeking revenge, or something.
This message was last edited by the GM at 14:18, Thu 30 July 2020.

Bobble will make sure the rest of the group knows about the note.

If they have it, he is looking for another magic dagger.

I rolled randomly, sorry they do not have a magical dagger for sale.

I am waiting for Conan to log in and post if he wants to before moving on.

Conan will help heal and calm the animals and help make camp and will alleviate the troubles of caravanning for the others.   He will just take the money (LOOT) and not spend any of it (until he gets more of it to make his sword magical and to combine his weapons into other versatile weapons for him.   As to the msg. with our descriptions and other pertinent information on it, it makes sense that the Hobgoblins would do this, especially since Conan speaks Goblin.
This message was last edited by the player at 20:08, Thu 30 July 2020.

Chatted with Yin
So the caravan continues on it's way and you do as well.  Knowing there is a druid hunting you makes your trip very nervous.  After much discussion it is proposed;
- Rebel using stealth out front approx. 70' (he is as fast with stealth as most are normally)
- Bobble/Tucker riding front flank to flank, 20'-30' out (crossing in front of the carthorse)
- Conan/Conover/Warhorse 30' in front of the cart
- on or tied to the cart Yin, Makoto, carthorse, 1 cat, 2 guard dogs, mule, goat

When camping there is a conundrum, everybody needs to get 8 hrs of sleep to cast spells.  The suggested camping watch is;
Bobble/Tucker/Rebel = 2nd half of night
Everyone else = 1st half of the night

General suggestions;
- randomly decide when and where to camp
- buddy system everywhere
- spend nights in villages if possible
- look for druids (who will know more about druids than other druids)

  With that in mind, you reach a village and look around for a druid.  The village does have a local druid, but he doesn't know much about local druid politics.  But he can tell you there is a druid named Hemzel, the self-declared protector of the Verduran Forest, who is old and has attended several druid moots (where druids from around the region meet and discuss druid stuff).  He might know about any high level druids in the region.  Hemzel and his little band of gnomes live 3 days away in the middle of the fey infested forest.
  Hemzel is not a friend of people, preferring the wilderness to human society.  He fights loggers and hunters.  In fact several loggers have gone missing recently.  Normally he just drives them out of the woods without killing them, but we wonder if he has finally crossed the line and started killing them?
  Yin and Makoto think it might be a good idea to take a risk and find this druid and ask him about high level hobgoblin druids.

- No the village doesn't have any magic items for sale beyond some 1st and 2nd level cleric potions and scrolls.

Bobble agrees with Yin and Makoto. It will be hard enough to locate daddy dearest without a homicidal Druid after us.

So do you want to do anything to prepare for a 3 day trip through a fey infested woods?  Makoto will be leaving her horse and cart in the village.  Woods aren't normally very horse friendly, especially to a rider with not much skill.  A mule might be handy to haul tents and equipment, but both Makoto and Yin have Handy Haversacks so a mule or goat pack animal could be optional.

I Concur with Yin's assessment about the druid making the trip more nervous, travelling arrangements and even sleeping/ guard duty.   But I've only one question, who will watch our backs as it were when travelling?    With Conan and company in front and Bobble on flanks.    Once we reach town does the local druid have any other information, help or spells he could help us with for our trek into this Fey forest (The ways of magic are still unknown to my character.)

In reply to aFate (msg # 75):

I will leave my horse in town but take the mule with me into the forest for the supplies.   (PERSONALLY I CAN'T THINK OF A POTION OR OTHER THING I SHOULD BUY WITHIN THE VILLAGE BUT LEAVE IT UP TO YOU GM TO PICK FOR ME ANYTHING.)

The local druid can draw you a map.  When news of your expedition spreads a couple of people approach you with offers;

The local woodcutters are offering a small reward
(200gp if rescued alive, 50gp for information about his fate);
  Thaven Lumberbeard, delved deep into the Verduran Forest two weeks ago, never to return. Now all the loggers fear to enter. Discover what you can about Thaven’s fate. He carried a wicked lumberjack’s axe, banded in an intricate pattern of red and yellow wood.

The local cleric of Pharasma can offer a reward
(300gp worth of 1st or 2nd level cleric potions)
   There are rumors that this Hemzel has discovered an artifact, a tablet of rare blue stone, with intricate cuneiform writing, that he recovered from an abandoned druid circle.  It should be a relic of Pharasma that was lost.  Liberate this tablet from the druid’s hands and return it to the temple.  How you liberate it is up to you.

Bobble wants to get a handy haversack! Nice item.

Bobble will leave all 3 dogs with the cart and horse with instructions to guard them. He will arrange with the stable owner to feed the dogs. The goat will go with him and will pack supplies. He will plan on traveling on foot unless his move speed is too slow then he will ride Tucker instead of leaving him behind.

Bobble will wonder aloud if this magic tablet may be cursed and could be causing changes in the Druid, thus the missing logger etc.

In reply to Bobble (msg # 79):

Conan wants one as well, they are really nice to have.

Yin suggests
- be sure you have cold iron weapons
- protection vs chaos, potions or scrolls
- does Conan want to get a chain shirt (light armor, 30' move)?
- to the druid; does he know if Hemzel has any vices that we could bring him.
  if nothing else, alcohol, cigars, a cold iron scimitar, stuff like that;
"What about you Bobble, is there anything that would be gnome-nip?" (ie; catnip)

Makoto suggests
- gifts for the fey (just give me how many gp you want to spend - Yin suggests 10gp each)

Yin will help out around the village offering her healing services.

Cleric of Pharasma
To the best of his knowledge, the tablet is not magic or cursed.  However, it is not outside the realm of possibility that something could have happened to it while it was lost.

Local druid
He doesn't know that much about Hemzel to know any particulars.



https://aonprd.com/SpellDispla...ction%20from%20Chaos
(Bobble, Conan and Yin can all use scrolls of this)
potion PfC lasts 1 min = 50gp ; 3 min = 150gp
scroll PfC lasts 1 min = 25gp ; 3 min = 75gp
scroll PFC,communal 3 people that lasts 1 min each = 150gp(but only uses 1 action to cast)

Conan can ask for PfC as a spell when he prays for spells.

Tell me when you are ready to head into the woods.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:28, Sun 02 Aug 2020.

Bobble will see if there is a handy haversack for sale in the village.

He will buy 2 3 minute scrolls of protection from chaos. He will pick up some gnome appropriate gifts for woodland gnomes as well.

He will ask Conan to leave any battle axes behind.

He will be ready to go then.

Per post 73: No, their are no other magical items for sale, it is a small village.

How many gp are you spending on these gifts?

Good idea on leaving any axes behind or hidden in 1 of the 2 Handy Haversacks.

Conan will get a chain shirt non masterworked while in town for 100 gps., give Makoto 10 gps. for the Druid stuff and if either one or both, BOBBLE or YIN want to go in with me on a couple of the and no more than three communal scrolls of PFC, I'm game (THE COMMUNAL SCROLLS SEEM TO ME TO SAVE BOTH TIME AND MONEY.)    Does everyone want me to leave my big sword (which is based on the Great Axe damage wise) back with the other stuff in town?

Conan's weapon looks like a sword, but has the stats of an axe.  It should be fine.

Per PfC;
Bobble will buy 2 3 minute scrolls = 150gp
Makoto, Conan and Yin will each buy 1 scroll PfC,communal 3 people that lasts 1 min each = 150gp each; With Yin carrying them all.
Makoto will also buy some potions PfC lasts 1 min = 50gp each (she can't use the scrolls)

While the "PfC,communal scroll" is more expensive than three "scroll PfC lasts 1 min" (150 vs 75), it is only 1 action vs 3 actions to cast.


  So the party prepares and heads off into the woods, following their map.  Conan and Conover in the lead as he is the only 1 with the skill to navigate through the woods.  Makoto has decent survival and could find food and water, but she has no sense of direction.  Bobble can ride Tucker and him and Rebel can bring up the rear or the flanks.  The girls will lead the pack animals, Makoto with the goat and Yin with the mule.

will continue later...

Bobble will spend 100 gold on gifts for the gnomes before they leave.

  On the 3 day long trip you see signs of fey, but don't encounter any.  As the sun sets on the third day of travel in the Verduran Forest, the welcome sight of a puffing chimney—Hemzel’s home, according to the map—reveals itself atop a hill in a small clearing.  Smoke rises lazily from a chimney set atop a small, round wooden hut just over a steep (5') hillside covered in thick vines and bramble hedges (5' tall).  Conover stops and waits for Conan, sniffing around nervously.  As Conan approaches his dog he hears the chittering of rats coming from, the hedge.  Suddenly a stump next to the path burst open and out pours hundreds of rats who are angry that their home was disturbed.  “Too late, too late for Hemzel!” a high voice cackles from behind the hut. “Gire, finish them!”

"Yin, get ready for the rats."   Conan will say as he casts aid onto his dog, Conover.   Conan will as well take out his great falchion to be ready for the rat swarms when they come a calling.   Conover will bound forward to attack a rat swarm.

Round 1
Conan casts a spell on Conover and takes out his sword.  Conover steps forward 5' and attacks, but makes no appreciable difference in the swarm (misses).

The rats (Rat Swarm1 and Rat Swarm2) move forward and engulf both Conan and Conover, doing 4 dam to each of them.  Both Conan and Conover get AOO and both hit, doing dam to the swarms.  Conan is not distracted, but Conover is distracted.
Distraction
Any living creature that takes damage from a creature with the distraction ability is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save negates the effect.
Nauseated:
Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move actions per turn.



Yin moves forward and uses burning hands on the rats near Conan, surrounding Conan with dead burning rats.  The rats left in Conan's square scatter.
Ratswarm2 is destroyed

Bobble rides Tucker in to within 30', moving into the clearing to get a cleaner shot, and casts Acid Splash.  It makes no appreciable difference in the swarm (misses - touch Ac is 14, and they are in melee so -4 to hit).  Rebel starts forward and stops when Bobble indicates he wants them to stay together.  Rebel looks at Bobble and says, "But they're rats..." as he moves next to Tucker.

Suddenly the plants all around you start grabbing on to your, you are in an Entangle spell.
Ref save, dc 13  A smaller, different voice than the first voice says, "You should flee, runaway or, ummm, your wings will be used as a chew toy for a wolf." 



Round 2
Makoto spends the whole round tying off the goat and mule so they don't run away and yells, "I'm entangled back here, it might take me a bit to get up there."

Your turn, don't forget to roll the ref save for entangle.

Conan kills many of the rats attacking Conover, but not all.  Conover struggles ineffectually against the entangle.

Bobble,
while you are riding Tucker in the open you are not effected by the entangle.  In the wood or hedges or if you get off your dog you will need to make a save as if you had just entered the spell.

Bobble will call to Rebel Let’s go get that thing! And will ride Tucker up towards the top right corner of the map. He will send Rebel at his best speed after the creature. When Bobble is close enough he will cast another acid splash.

15:42, Today: Bobble rolled 1 using 1d3.  Acid splash damage if it hits.
15:41, Today: Bobble rolled 17 using 1d20+6.  Acid splash at creature in tree.

Round 2
With each swing of his sword Conan kills many of the rats attacking Conover, but not all.  Conover struggles ineffectually against the entangle.

Rat Swarm1 moves forward and engulf both Conan and Conover, doing 2 dam to each of them.  Both Conan and Conover get AOO, both miss (Conan rolled a 1) and both are distracted.
Distraction
Any living creature that takes damage from a creature with the distraction ability is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save negates the effect.

Bobble urges Tucker forward, but try as he might, Tucker is stuck in the entangle (failed save, and failed 2 str checks).  Rebel has the same problem, "Sorry, I.. can't.. break.. free.."(failed save, and failed 1 str check, made 2nd but then failed the end-of-round save).  Unable to get close enough, Bobble drops his dagger, pulls out a bow and shoots at the glowing figure.  The arrow goes right through the figure. 

Yin says, "KDEMZAQOO", Makoto yells, "That's a dancing lights and ventriloquism spell, ignore it".  Unable to use burning hands for fear of hurting her allies, she casts mage armor and moves toward the smaller voice.

Gire's voice says, "Finish them, umm, ok.  Be warned intruders into, um, I mean, um, I
 will summon a mighty beast to, um, finish you with, um...."  A small fur ball comes out of the woods and lands 10' from Conover, it becomes a normal sized rat.  Gire says "...um, defend the hut."  The rat moves around the Conan/Conover/Ratswarm and rears up on the path trying to look as menacing as possible. 

Round 3
Makoto pulls herself free a moves forward through the grasping vines "This reminds me of that tavern where the men had trouble keeping their hands to themselves."  She fails her save at the end of her turn.

Your turn, don't forget to roll the ref save for entangle.

Entangle DC13:

This spell causes tall grass, weeds, and other plants to wrap around creatures in the area of effect or those that enter the area. Creatures that fail their save gain the entangled condition. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of your turn. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail must end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts.

If the plants in the area are covered in thorns, those in the area take 1 point of damage each time they fail a save against the entangle or fail a check made to break free. Other effects, depending on the local plants, might be possible at GM discretion.

Entangled::

The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.

- if you are entangled, you are immobile because the plants are considered "immobile objects".
Bobble;
while you are riding Tucker in the open you are not effected by the entangle.  In the wood or hedges or if you get off your dog you will need to make a save as if you had just entered the spell.

Conan will since this is the only action he can do is move forward in front of his dog and stand defensively(fight defensively/ dodging and parrying blows etc.) towards the rat that just came out, if he can.

Yin looks perplexed and then looks disappointed, as a mother scolding a boy and then gestures forward. Then says something to Makoto who relays "Move out of the swarm so Yin can use fire."  Yin moves toward the Gire voice and after a move action she starts making various gestures toward an unseen audience as she and Makoto chat a bit.  Makoto yells in Sylvan "HGF".

Round 3

A faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape in the woods 5' from the edge of the upper right hand corner of the map and 15' up in a tree says in the same High Voice "I guess I will have to have fun another way."  You sense movement as a small sized elf-like fey runs down from where he was hiding (square below the Q) attacks Conan (hits with a sword for 2 dam) and then continues moving, ending on a stump on the other side of the hut and says "I will slice you up, a slice at a time and there is nothing you can do about it."

Bobble has Tucker stay.  Rebel has the same problem, (failed save, and failed 1 str check, made 2nd but then failed the end-of-round save)and can't break free.  Bobble shoots the swarm to minimal effect, 1 whole dam.

Yin looks perplexed and then looks disappointed, as a mother scolding a boy and then gestures forward. Then says something to Makoto who relays "Move out of the swarm so Yin can use fire."  Yin moves toward the Gire voice and after a move action she starts making various gestures toward an unseen audience as she and Makoto chat a bit.  Makoto yells in Sylvan "HGF". .

  Gire, a tiny sized, green-skinned female humanoid with a pair of dragonfly wings comes darting out of the woods yelling, "Ahhh, the meanie girl is gonna burn me, ahhh....Redmylyfyc, she wants to burn me."  She flys across the clearing and hides behind a branch/tree trunk.

Round 4
Yin says something to Makoto as Makoto starts pulling out a seed pod.  She  glances at Yin, "Bobble, Yin would like to know why you are..."pissing on a forest fire with your bow?  Conan, why is the big strong fighter afraid of a rat?"" then shrugs.  She casts a spell and the now familiar Glitterdust settles on Redmylyfyc (he saved so he is NOT blinded).  She continues, "the glowing one is a Quickling and the flying one is an Atomie.  You should use cold iron if you have it."

If Conan and the dog leave the swarm, she will blast the swarm with burning hands, otherwise move and reserve an action to burning hands the quickling as he runs by.

Bobble needs to get to where the action is. He casts Expeditious Retreat on himself. He will drop his bow on the ground and pull his cold iron dagger as he moves towards the Quikling. He will have to try to move through the entanglement area to get to the fey creatures. Rebel will continue to try to break out of the tangle as well. Tucker will attempt to follow along.

10:41, Today: Bobble rolled 19 using 1d20+7.  Save Vs entangle
11:02, Today: Bobble rolled 23 using 1d20+5.  Rebel save Vs entangle.

Bobble should be able to get to the area where the Q is on the outside of the brambles.

                           Aid(+1 hit, vs fear)
Makoto    dam ; entangled
Chito    dam ; in forest
Yin    dam ; invested protective luck, mage armor
goat, mule

Round 4
Conan attacks the normal rat on the path, misses and then jumps over it, moving toward the quickling and pulling out his heavy flail.  Conover finally tears himself out of the entangle before moving back to Makoto.  When he gets there he fails his save and is entangled again.
putting a weapon away is an action that CAN NOT BE COMBINED WITH A MOVE.

Rat Swarm1 moves forward and engulfs the normal rat, and it vanishes in the horde of rats.

Redmylyfyc yells at the hiding Gire, "Gire, you get back here or I will tell Cyflymder about this and I'm sure he can find another wolf for you to have "for dinner"."  Then he moves forward, slashes Conan (hits with a sword for 1 dam) and dances back the way he came, running around the house laughing.

The door to the hut opens, missing Conan, but you see nothing in the doorway.  Conan (takes 8 dam) suddenly staggers from the force of an axe as a man appears in the doorway.  He was invisible until he attacked Conan.  The man(?) wields a distinctive axe banded in an intricate pattern of red and yellow wood.  He wears a breast plate that looks like it is made from a turtle shell.  He also doesn't look quite human, more like a human-fey cross.

Bobble drops his bow, casts a spell, jumps off Tucker, runs through the entangle drawing out his cold iron dagger and barely makes it out of the spells area.   Tucker struggles ineffectually against the entangle.  Rebel manages to break free, and follows after Bobble only to be caught again at the end of his move.

Yin sighs, moves forward and casts burning hands, the rat swarm is burnt to little dead rat bodies with a few remaining rats running away.

Gire yells "Ok meanie girl I umm am coming to k..., hur..., I'll get you, just you wait." 

Round 5
Makoto activates her cloak and tries to use that to rip herself free, and fails.  She hasn't seen the guy in the door yet.

Move forward on the path,
if Conan is hurt channel positive energy
otherwise, cast create water to start putting out fires

(to Yin: Even though, I'm hurt, focus all your firepower on the quickling and other fey creature and together we'll put out the fire.   He either missed or connected with the flail, he wasn't sure, which but with that he started to mumble a spell (true strike) and stepped back 5'.    Conover will try to free himself from the entangle again or not but will make his reflex save just fine.

Redmylyfyc    dam ; Glittering(-20 stealth)  sword
Gire    dam  bag
Man? with Axe  11  dam  axe, potion

Bobble  1 dam ;
protective luck ; Expeditious Retreat, dropped bow,magic dagger
Rebel     dam ; 29hp/13con ;
Tucker     dam ; 13hp/15con ; Entangled
Conan  19 dam ; hvy flail(2 hand), True Strike
Conover  1  dam ; 30hp/13con ; Entangled
                           Aid(+1 hit, vs fear)
Makoto    dam ;
Chito    dam ; in forest
Yin    dam ; invested protective luck, mage armor
goat, mule

Round 5
Conan sheathes his sword, takes a 2hand grip on his flail and hits the Man? with Axe with it, doing 11 dam (more than a scratch, but he isn't bleeding yet).
 Conan, finds he can't 5' step because of the difficult terrain and starts practicing his spell, he is not entangled.  Conover tears himself out of the entangle and dashes forward to help Conan who is being attacked.  When he gets there he is not entangled.

Redmylyfyc runs down through a part of the hedge that is passable (though difficult terrain) and attacks Bobble, "Where do you think you're going traitor."  However he misjudges Bobbles skill and misses (rolled a 1).  Embarrassed the quickling says with as much bluster as he can "Let that be a warning, next time will be for real."  Then he runs back up through the hedge and around the hut.

Man? with Axe continues to attack Conan, missing.  He also pulls out a potion (so axe in 1 hand, potion in the other.

Another ball of fur is tossed out of the woods from 15' up in the trees as Gire yells "Protect me from that scary girl.  I don't want to be burned."  The ball of fur turns into a cat, a normal looking cat, that stands there hissing ominously. 

Bobble sees he doesn't have to climb the hedge and follows after the quickling.  At the end of his magic enhanced move he can barely see the quickling up on a stump so Bobble casts snowball at him, missing.  Tucker and Rebel break free, and follow after Bobble.  Rebel makes it out, but Tucker fails his end of round save and is entangled again.

Yin ignores what Conan says because she can't understand him anyway.  Since he didn't take more damage she moves forward and casts create water, putting out some of the fire, and she is still NOT entangled, it must be her dancers moves or luck.

Round 6
Makoto manages to tear herself free from the entangle, and manages to stay free, but has no actions left to move.

Conan steps back 5' to cast his spell, but since it is difficult terrain and he is trying to concentrate on spell casting, gives Man? with Axe an Aoo, but it misses.  Conan casts his spell.  Conover dashes forward to help Conan and misses the Man? with Axe, and fails his save (is entangled).

Redmylyfyc runs over, hits Bobble for 1 dam and then runs out another thin section of the hedge.

Man? with Axe turns invisible.

Gire ?

This spell causes tall grass, weeds, and other plants to wrap around creatures in the area of effect or those that enter the area. Creatures that fail their save gain the entangled condition. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of your turn. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail must end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts.

If the plants in the area are covered in thorns, those in the area take 1 point of damage each time they fail a save against the entangle or fail a check made to break free. Other effects, depending on the local plants, might be possible at GM discretion.

Entangled::

The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.

- if you are entangled, you are immobile because the plants are considered "immobile objects".
Bobble;
while you are riding Tucker in the open you are not effected by the entangle.  In the wood or hedges or if you get off your dog you will need to make a save as if you had just entered the spell.

Creatures that move into the area must save immediately.

Bobble will continue around the corner of the building, looking for the quickling. He will attack it if possible. Rebel will run around the building to join Bobble as soon as possible.

Conan will send his dog forward into the doorway and hopefully into the invisible man.   (In the hope that he will become visible.)   Moving forward himself after his dog moves into the hut, if he, the man with the axe is visible, then Conan will swing his flail at him.   (I forget the action this is called, not called but prepared.)   If not, then he will quickly and purposefully cast create water to help put out the fires within the huts.


OOC: Can Conover sense the axe man?  if so, please roll for me.

Round 6
Bobble runs around the hut following the quickling, he manages to just catch up.  Tucker frees himself and runs after Rebel.  Rebel follows Bobble, but instead of chasing the quickling he plots an intercept path.  He runs by the hut and launches himself over the hedge landing in front of the quickling.  This distraction gives Bobble just the opening he needs as he slashes with his cold iron dagger and hits for 9 dam (sneak attack).  The quickling moves so fast that he has a blur effect (20% miss chance), but Makotos glitterdust negated that effect.

Yin moves forward and casts create water, putting out some of the fire, and luck runs out as the entangle finally snags her.

Round 7
Makoto moves forward and casts a spell.  The quickling's shadow seems to stop moving for a second, but then he saves and it has no effect.  She is NOT entangled.

Conover fails to break free from the entangle so just attacks Man? with Axe missing due to the invisibility.  Conan "sees" himself a second or 2 in the future moving forward and attacking through the doorway...NOW.  He moves forward and attacks, doing 33 dam on a critical hit. A potion bottle breaks on the floor as the man's head separates from his body and you hear a >Thunk< from across the room.  The body collapse in the doorway with another >Thud<.  Both pieces are still invisible.

Redmylyfyc not liking these odds, the quickling takes off, acrobatically avoiding any AOO.  He yells, "Gire, I am going to warn Cyfylymder about this, stop them or else."

Gire continues her chatting from inside the woods about how you should flee and what not.  Rebel and Bobble are in the middle of another entangle.  Gire is also exceptionally talkative, and she cannot stop herself from chattering during the encounter. She continues describing the horrifying fate that awaits the PCs unless they flee, but you realize that Gire is herself horrified by the violence she describes and that she isn't really interested in fighting, but she seems to be afraid of the quickling Redmylyfyc and whoever Cyfylymder is.  She seems almost as afraid of Yin.

We are "out of combat", though there is still plenty of stuff to do.  Who wants to do what?
- Atomie over in the woods protected by a cat
- hut on fire

Bobble and Rebel along with Tucker will head after the fey in the woods, assuming we can break out of the new entangle.  I’m working so please roll for me

As for the entangle, you get reasonably lucky, so it does not slow you down by more than a round.
What do you plan to do when you get there?
How are you getting there, fast or quiet?
What are you going to say, if anything?

Bobble and Rebel will move quietly. Bobble would like to capture the fey if possible rather than hurting or killing it as it seems to be reluctant about this whole thing. Tucker will investigate the cat but won’t attack.

Conan will cast enough create water to help put out the rest of the fires in the hut.   After putting out the fires he will immediately go after Bobble into the woods in order to prevent a murdering of a fey creature that could be used as a information source.

Bobble, find the fey but don't kill it because we could get possibly some useful information out of it .    Conan says before he starts putting out the fires.

Put out fire, looking around for survivors.  To Bobble, "Expeditious retreat, why didn't you lead with that."  Conan, "See how fast the combat gets over when you get within swinging distance.  You are not an archer, and neither are you" looking at Bobble.

Makoto will suggest, "Bobble, why don't you try talking FIRST, capturing second."

Bobble hears what everyone is saying. He gives up trying to sneak up to the fey and stands up.

Please stop fighting. We are not your enemies, and we came here to see the Druid. We have some gifts we can give you. We want to talk to you about what is going on here. We won’t hurt you if you come out and talk to us.

Bobble will reach into his pouch and pull out one of the gifts we brought for the fey.

  Conan and Yin, who manages to use escape artist to escape the entangle, fight the fire from the doorway with create water spells.  It's a close call as the fire was on the verge of raging out of control.  But after about a minute of constant create water the fire is out.

  Bobble carefully moves toward the Gire, using sweet words and presents.  Makoto struggles through the entangle to join him.  At the word gift she peers around the branch she was hiding behind.  She has you set it near the cat, and keeping an eye on Yin (who is still fighting the fire), Gire flutters down and examines it.  You ply her with food and drink and as long as "the meanie fire woman" doesn't make an appearance and Bobble/Makoto keep their distance she is happy to answer your questions.
 https://sites.google.com/site/...he-forest/atomie.jpg
  Gire is a miniscule(tiny sized), green-skinned humanoid wearing a needle-thin rapier. A pair of dragonfly wings holds the wee creature aloft. She has a small gray bag.

About Hemzel? “Cyflymder said Hemzel was going to lead the humans to destroy the fey! So we pounced and surprised him. Cyflymder and his brutes tore the druid apart. His poor wolf friend too! So much blood!”
Who is Cyflymder? “A great, bold fey. He’s promised to clear the Verduran Forest of the scum who stole our heritage. I think he is cruel—it would be better if you fled on your own, wouldn’t it?”
Where is Cyflymder? “He went north to a druid circle so he could destroy the lorestone.”
What happened to the lorestone? “The smooth rock?  Cyflymder took it with him after he killed that druid.”
Why do you hate druids so much? “Cyflymder says the druids only exist to trick us and help humanity steal our treasure. But… but I’m not so sure he’s right.”
If questioned about the combat abilities of the fey, Gire quickly launches into lurid tales of their bloodthirstiness but offers little real information.  You get the impression that Cyflymder is a quickling and that he has a couple of Spriggans (gnome-like fey that can grow to large size).  Both quicklings and spriggans are known to enjoy violence and killing (evil).

  At the hut Conan sees that Bobble and Makoto are chatting with the fey peacefully so he can search the bodies and hut.  Smoke fills the inside of the primitive, one-room hovel.  Tinder from the fireplace is strewn about, this sparked the fires that threatened to destroy the hut. The room itself is in shambles.  An eviscerated human body sprawls across the floor, and a butchered wolf lies against the wall by the front door. Puddles of blood surround them. A dead gnome, whose hands are tied to a rough wooden table, looks like he was tortured before his throat was cut.  Upon which sits an ornate—but empty—box
and a blood-spattered/heat-damaged manuscript.
  There are 5 bodies,
- an atomie just outside the front door of the hut that appears to have been savaged by Hemzel’s wolf.
- 1 dead wolf
- 2 dead human/fey creatures (1 killed by Conan, 1 killed earlier, probably by Hemzel)
- 1 dead gnome (Hemzel)
Except for the 1 human/fey Conan killed (which looks like the description of Thaven - chp4/msg78), the other 4 have been dead for at least an hour.  The hut looks like a battle took place before it was set on fire.
  The manuscript, while damaged, is still mostly readable.  However the journal is written in pidgin shorthand of Common and Druidic and is about a magical druidic artifact called a Lorestone.  It will take a lingustics skill to read.



Any more questions?  What are you doing now?

While Bobble entertains/questions Gire, Makoto calls over Conover and examines him.  She will also quietly relay to Conan and Yin what they have learned from Gire.

There are some things that stand out in the hut;
- whatever was in the box on the table is gone (probably the lorestone)
- Hemzel's armor is destroyed
- most of misc loot that a druid would have in his home was destroyed by the fire/smoke

Bobble will pick up his magic dagger. He will look at his bow and shake his head.

Yin you are right, I am no archer. Why do I carry this thing around?

He will remove his quiver and leave the bow and quiver in the hut.

We need to go after these evil fey as much as I want to get on with our quest. These wrongs must be set right.

Yin suggests asking Gire where Hemzel's followers are and how many other fey scare her and why.  Then take Hemzel's body out next to his wolf and respectfully clean it, cover it and such.  To Conan, "I think maybe you should use your channels now when there are no enemies around."

Then she will use Ears of the forest(city) to "gather info" on what was said in the hut, especially about the lorestone.  She will relay what she sees to the group;

DM edit; Yin sees/hears a quickling torturing the gnome and asking about how to destroy the Lorestone
- take it to a druid circle and expose it to sunlight
- learns the name/direction of an abandoned druid circle
- learns the name of the evil ritual that turned the humans into evil fey
This message had punctuation tweaked by the GM at 17:37, Sat 15 Aug 2020.

  Makoto responds to Bobbles declaration on archery, "Now that is going to far, don't you have a middle ground.  It's not that you aren't a good archer, it's that you are trying to use it when better tactics would be to do something else."  She takes out a glass vial and her machete, "Your bow and arrows are tools like these things.  When I need to cut a plant I don't use the vial.   When I need to store a potion I don't use the machete.  If I leave my machete behind and I need to cut a plant, what am I going to do?
 Remember when Conan left his flail behind and then we needed a blunt weapon to harm the Hungry Flesh in the goblin halls (chp2/msg26)?  You don't leave a tool behind unless there is a good reason to, just learn to use the proper tool for the job."
  Makoto will ask Gire about Hemzel's followers and other fey that scare her and why.  Gire will say the other gnomes live in a small clearing/village on a river nearby.  She has no immediate response to the question of other scary fey (beyond Cyflymder and his Spriggans).

The entangle spells are gone.
The cat from the Bag of Tricks is gone.
It has been about 15 minutes.

  Gire is friendly towards Bobble.  With no more questions Gire leaves.  Conan and Yin, having brought the pack animals to the hut, are busy packing things on the mule and goat and discussing what to do about the bodies.  Makoto is examining the human/fey bodies, "I think they were humans that were turned into this evil fey form through an evil magic ritual."
  From the path a group of 9 gnomes (longswords, crossbows and chain shirts) and 1 wolverine(with a collar, on a leash) emerges.  8 have crossbows out and 1 is holding the wolverine's leash.  They take in the scene, the smoking obviously burned hut, the signs of battle, the bodies of the wolf and gnome(covered with a blanket, but obviously of small size) and the presence of armed intruders.  The leader grips the wolverine's leash with white knuckles, narrows his eye and growls angrily "What have you done to Hemzel?"

Yin steps forward 5' with arms wide open and empty, "Good master gnomes, we are but travelers and seekers of knowledge, the local druids recommended we talk to Hemzel and when we arrived we were set upon by a vicious group of fey that claimed to be in service of Cyflymder.  And while we reduced their numbers, some are still about.  You have my deepest sympathy for the fact that we were not able to stop this treachery.  Perhaps we can work together to right these dastardly deeds."
Will take 10 on diplomacy and hope for some aid.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:11, Sun 16 Aug 2020.

Before the Gnomes show up, Conan and Yin are discussing what to do with all the bodies within the hut.   And to that end, Conan will have dragged out of the hut, the body of the dead guy he killed and put him in the middle of the road for all to see coming up the trail.    And before that he will have used up his channels if necessary to heal everyone up.   (GM please roll for me.   I believe I only have two channels.)    BACK to before the Gnomes, Conan will place the head of a stake in the ground in front of the body looking down the path.   The other body he will put next to his decapitated body,

After the Gnomes come, Conan will quickly motion Yin forward outside to handle the situation because he knows he isn't the right tool for the job.   (SEE GM, I CAN LEARN, IT JUST TAKES ME LONGER TO SEE THE LISTEN THAT NEEDS TO BE LEARNED.)   He will also aid YIN in her current task, by having the dead body of the headless human sized Gnome in his arms and will in turn display it for her to gesture at as to who killed who.   (GM, You might give me both rolls as to aid another because of situational variables in the head on a stake but the not there yet.)

Wow. Head on a stake. Classy Conan.

Bobble will move up with Yin to address his fellow gnomes.

Ah my brothers I had hoped to find you in better circumstances. We heard there were gnomes out here and brought you some things. We are so sorry we were too late to save them. This human was apparently allied with them or controlled by them, and my companion slew him in self defense.  We want to stop them and need your help

DM edit; 23 on aid another
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:21, Sun 16 Aug 2020.

  Makoto will move over to the doorway and whisper to Conan, "Now would be a good time for some luck don't you think."  Then louder she says, "And this fellow (meaning Conan) was just clearing this vile henchmen of the quickling Cyflymder out of the hut.  Apparently Cyflymder has learned how to turn human's into these evil fey creatures.  Do you want a closer look?"

Conan can use a use of Bit-of-luck to give himself a "reroll" on his aid roll.  Since Yin is taking 10, it wouldn't help her.

16 aid another

With all the aid anothers and circumstance bonuses for
- treating Hemzels body respectfully
- mentioning Cyflymder name
- showing a dead evil fey
- having a very plausible story... you have relieved the initial hostility

The gnomes look at each other as the leader hands the leash to a gnome beside him and then steps forward, "Yes, I would like to see this."  While the rest of the gnomes watch, crossbows ready, but not pointed at anyone, the leader steps forward and examines the body Conan is holding.  He lifts up the blanket and looks at Hemzel and then looks into the room.  While he is doing this Yin continues "Out of respect for his death we need to move quickly to stop a greater catastrophe by stopping this evil gang of fey.  Hopefully with your help, but without it if we need to."  Makoto will add, "Also, apparently the fey have taken a Lorestone and are trying to destroy it.  If we don't hurry they just might succeed."

Does Conan or Bobble want to do or say anything while the gnome leader is making his inspection.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:21, Sun 16 Aug 2020.

Bobble will speak to the gnomes in their language, and will begin to take out gifts from the packs on the riding goat.

Hello all. My name is Bobble. I am on a quest to locate my no good father who is apparently out causing mischief. We are trying to help out good people along the way.

Conan will use a bit of luck on either himself (if personal) or on Yin if not to help her in her negotiations with the Gnomes.    He'll do this by moving closer to Yin and touching her on her shoulder.

Conan will Channel his x2 a day, and Makoto will top him off with a charge from a wand.  So everyone is at full hps.

  The gnome leader, Boomroppel, believes you and is saddened by the death of his leader.  They profusely apologize for their mistake and happily encourage your plan to track down and slay Cyflymder since he’s become such a menace to this part of the Verduran Forest. Boomroppel claims that his band isn’t strong enough to defeat Cyflymder but you might be.  Boomroppel will give you a wand of cure light wounds(25chgs) as a peace offering and a map to the abandoned druid circle.  The circle is on an island in a lake.  The island is only 30' from the shore and had a makeshift bridge the last time he was there.  It should take you all night to get there by morning.
  If you can slay the fey who killed Hemzel and return the lorestone to them you can keep Hemzel's treasure, including his +1 spell storing, shock dagger.  Hemzel had some other journals, they will look them over to find any information about your hobgoblin druid.  If you want to leave the goat and mule behind, they will take care of them for you.

Anything else you want to do before setting off?

---

We will be using Forced March rules.  You will probably be using scrolls of lesser restoration to eliminate the fatigue from staying up all night.

Conan will ask again if we can have the Gnomes as backup troops because of what the little ATOMIE said about the big bads' forces.    Even though they aren't strong enough maybe together we could carry the day.

Bobble would love to have that dagger for sure! He will Not leave his goat behind with the gnomes. There is no way these guys are going to be able to fight this evil. We need to do the heroic Thing and Bobble needs to be able to keep up with the long legs.

Conan won't be leaving his mule here with these Gnomes either especially since we're going on a forced march.

In reply to Conan (msg # 136):

Conan, why don’t you leave her here? These good gnomes will tend her well. I would leave my goat but I can’t keep up with your long legs! This will be a tough hike so why put your mule through it?

Bobble will walk over to Conan before they head out. Hey Brother, we need to do some planning for this fight. It’s going to be tough. We need to try to make sure we are supporting each other, and that we can get in flanking attacks. Rebel and your dog will help with this as well. Use your cold iron weapon as it is deadly to Fey. Ok?

In reply to Bobble (msg # 138):

Okay, brother, with your assurance I'll leave Dorsey here.   Even though she is probably tougher than all of us.    And you're right, holding up his heavy flail in his primary hand, is the best way to deal with the fey.    Do you have any other ideas for the fight?, replied Conan to Bobble.

So far I have Conan leaving his mule with the gnomes, Bobble taking the goat and Bobble leaving his bow and arrows in the hut.

Makoto suggests Conan take the wand of clw(25chgs) from the gnomes, please record it on your character sheet.

Anything else you want to do before you leave?  Last chance....
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:38, Thu 20 Aug 2020.

Bobble will take his bow and arrows just in case. He will attach them to his harness on the goat.  He is ready to go. I believe he still has 2 first level spells a available.

  The sun has set by the time the group is heading out into the dark forest.  Tired from a day of travel followed by a fight, the darkness seems especially oppressive as it closes in around your lights.  At first you have no problems, but after a couple of hours the animals and Rebel begin to complain of fatigue.  After a break for healing, Chito is put in Makoto's Handy Haversack with a hollow piece of wood sticking out to provide air.  Makoto then observes, "Why exactly is Rebel out and getting all tired out.  Couldn't you send him away and summon him when we get to the pond?  Then he would be all fresh.  And remind me back at town, I want to learn the Mount spell."
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:15, Thu 20 Aug 2020.

Yes Bobble will release Rebel and summon him in the morning. Still new to this summoner thing

  Rebel is sent to wherever he goes when Bobbles asleep and the group continues on.  The night drags on in the dark woods.  As you put 1 foot in front of the other time seems to lose all meaning and the fatigue of not sleeping begins to set in.  Only Yin and Conan seem to be enduring the journey, and then at the halfway mark Yin needs to be healed.  Conan finds he needs to consult the map more than usual, but manages to stay on course (survival skill, with extra +2 from map).
  At the next stop Conan require healing.  After this, Yin will use her channels instead of the wands as almost everyone is becoming more and more fatigued from traveling all night.  Finally, you near the end of the journey and the sky to the east begins to show the first hints of dawn.  According to the map the lake is just ahead, so you stop 1 last time to heal your forced march damage with a channel, summon Rebel and Makoto pulls out 4 Lesser Restoration scrolls (2 from before and 2 from Hemzel's treasure) to cure the fatigue of not sleeping.  However, there are 6 creatures that need restoration, Bobble, Conan, Makoto, Yin, Conover and Tucker.  Makoto can whip up an alchemical stimulant that will eliminate the fatigue for a short while (probably an hour), but after it wears off the user will be exhausted.  You are currently about 10 mins from the lake according to the map.



Yin and Makoto suggest using the scrolls on the humanoids and the alchemical simulates on the dogs.  However, they are your animals, so you can choose - Alchemical stimulant or leave them fatigued.  Yin says; "We should stop nearer the island to buff up."

What Buffs do you want to cast when you are 1 min away from the island?
This message was last edited by the GM at 10:38, Sat 22 Aug 2020.

There is no need for anything for the goat as it will not be fighting.

Bobble will summon Rebel. Then he will cast expeditious retreat on himself and Rebel

When you get close enough you can see activity on the island, including a large gnome-like figure, probably a Spriggan.  What Buffs do you want to cast when you are under 1 min away from the island?

Bobble will cast resistance on himself, Conan and Rebel once we are less than a minute out. +1 to saves can’t hurt

Bobble will also use protection from chaos on himself and Rebel.

Conan will opted for the alchemical stimulant for the dog and suggest to Yin to cast the communal protection scroll she has from him now while she can speak Common.    He will use one of Miss Makoto's infusions, that being enlarge person, once he is over the makeshift causeway along with his bull strength potion.   (in short, he'll use the infusion on the other side of the causeway before battle and use the potion about the same time maybe a little before like towards the end of the causeway going into combat.

   So the group has Conan (who is the only one who can use them without a roll) use the lesser restoration scrolls while Makotko whips up a stimulant for Conover, and the group feels much better.  Yin casts Mage armor on herself and Makoto.
  You move forward and get a glimpse of the island from a fair distance.  You see a small tree covered island about 30' from the shore.  There is a circle of stones and in the circle you see a large sized gnome-like creature, probably a Spriggan.  It is too far for more details or to see annoyingly stealthy creatures like a Quickling.
  After about 10 minutes of slogging your way through the underbrush you get close enough to be about 1 minute away from the island, so Bobble, Rebel and Chito carefully move forward to investigate.  The thick trees, brush, and brambles of the Verduran Forest finally give way to a glassy lake with a small tree-studded island just thirty feet offshore. An improvised bridge of mossy logs roped together floating on the water stretches toward the island from the near shore, though some of the trunks have tipped nearly vertical into the water, leaving gaps along the makeshift bridge.  The logs look wet and slimly, so are probably fairly slick.  At the 2 gaps Bobble spots 2 crudely hidden snare traps and in the tree branches over the logs he spots a couple of snakes(likely poisonous), close enough that they could strike at anyone crossing the bridge.  Well, they could hit anyone medium sized or larger.  Also, the logs have recently been crossed.
Acrobatics dc 10 (1/2 speed) to cross the bridge
To cross the gaps either
- jump (dc 10 for distance+10 for surface=20)(see acrobatics rules)
- swim (see swim rules)
- climb through the trees (where the snakes are) (see climb rules)

Tucker and the goat are left behind.  So this is the situation so far, how would Bobble and Rebel cross to the island, risk the bridge as they both have good acrobatics skills or other?

Bobble will cross the bridge. Avoiding the snare traps. Daggers in sheaths in case of a fall into the water. Rebel has an amazing jumping ability so he will take 10 and make the jump.

  Oddly, there seems to be a black "curtain" of darkness running from stone to stone in a large circle on the island that wasn't there the last time you scouted the island.  Chito "meows" at Makoto from where she is holding on and Makoto says, "Interesting..." and is then distracted by the following...

Round Surprise
Bobble and Rebel move down to the "bridge" and just as Bobble is about to set foot on it, him and Rebel both see the large crocodile hiding in the murky water, but too late.  The croc strikes out at Bobble, hoping for a bite sized meal.  But this meal is always ready to dodge (uncanny dodge) and avoids the crocs bite.





- While both Bobble and Rebel made the perception roll to see the crocodile and can go in the surprise round, but the croc got a higher initiative.
Bobble and Rebel may both take 1 action on the surprise round.
- Everyone else is surprised, that means you don't get a turn yet Conan.
- Conan currently is holding Conover and has a levitating Yin holding on to his shoulder.
Makoto is holding on to Yin's neck.

Round Surprise
Bobble acrobatically start to cross the bridge avoiding the croc, jumping over the 1st gap and avoiding the snares and snakes.  The Croc does get an AOO on Bobble but misses.  Rebel follows and then leaps over the slower Bobble and both gaps making it to the end of the bridge.

Round 1
Crocodile swims after Bobble and lunges out of the water, but misses.

- Everyone's turn on round 1.
- remember, Bobble and Rebel only had single actions.
- Conan is currently holding Conover and has a levitating Yin holding on to his shoulder.
Makoto is holding on to Yin's neck.
- REMEMBER, there is a darkness hiding what is inside the circle.  I just have been forgetting to put it on the map.

  Makoto looks at Conan and says urgently, "Hurry, just get across, we need to get over there NOW."

Bobble will continue to cross the bridge as quickly as possible. Rebel will move forward as well so they are both clear of the crocodile and can get into the circle of stones quickly.

Conan will just wade across the swamp in order to get to the island.   In short, he'll ignore the croc until it bites him because of all the people and animals around him currently. (doing a dbl. move to get to the other side of water.    Once on the other side of the bridge, he'll unload the dog and others and take out his hvy. flail while still moving.)

Bobble/Rebel make it to the other side without incident.  Conan sidesteps the croc and wades through waist deep(for a large creature) water and makes it to the other side as well.  You are facing a wall of darkness.

Bobble has 75' of movement from the end of the bridge
Rebel has his full action left
Conan has 30' of movement left
Conover is on the ground on Conan's right side with his full action left
Makoto gets down behind Yin next to the water
Yin is still floating 5' off the ground with her full action left

Where are you heading with the rest of your movement?


This message was last edited by the GM at 21:49, Mon 24 Aug 2020.

Bobble and Rebel are going to head for the gap in the stones straight ahead of Rebel. They won’t go through the wall of darkness until the others are ready to go so probably next round. They are staying a bit away from Conan and the ladies to help reduce the chance of an area effect hitting all of them.

Ok here is the plan. Bobble and Rebel are going to try to get to the center of the circle to put the rune stone into a bag so it is out of the light. Yin, Conan and Makoto will engage the quicklings etc. to try to keep them off of Bobble. Rebel will stick with Bobble and protect him as much as possible. Bobble will be defensive and will not attack anyone until after the stone is secured.
This message was last edited by the GM at 01:10, Fri 28 Aug 2020.

Can someone take down this darkness?   Replies Conan before finishing his movement into the darkness.   If someone removes the the darkness, he strode into the clearing confidently but if not he will enter it cautiously using stealth and ready to attack the first thing that assaults him.

  The stones making up the circle are 10' high.

Round 1
Bobble acrobatically moves across the bridge, and then moves over to the nearest gap between the stones and waits for the group to head into the darkness.
 Rebel joins him.  They move in with everyone else.

Conan slogs his way through the water to the other side avoiding the crocodile.  On the other side he drops Conover onto the ground and asks "Can someone take down this darkness?"  Makoto responds with "I doubt it."  So he strides cautiously into the darkness, pulling out his flail.  Conover moves beside Conan.

Makoto drops off her Yin ballon and moves next to a pillar and then moves Yin down to the ground.

Yin says something to Makoto who relays, "Forward, find the Lorestone and put it in a bag out of the light.  Bobble that's your job, the rest of us can help him do that."  Yin casts a spell and moves into the darkness.

The darkness is a curtain or wall - not solid darkness.  Inside is a dome made of darkness but the top of the dome is open to the sky, and the hole in the top is rapidly getting bigger and brighter.  Currently the light level is dim.  Makoto says, "I think the darkness is a defense mechanism of the artifact.  Hurry, we probably only have about a minute before it's gone."  At first glance you see nothing inside the circle and the lorestone is not evident, but then...

Suddenly, a high staccato voice cackles maniacally and calls out from the stone behind Yin and Conan “Too too late, filthy intruders! All your prancing through my beautiful forest, and soon nothing for you remains! The beautiful, beautiful sun will do my job for me, destroy your precious lorestone soon, and you are failures, humans are always failures, always always.”  It sounds similar to Redmylyfyc the quickling, but different...probably Cyflymder.

Cyflymder ?

Spriggan1 from behind a stone where it was hiding a small sized spriggan uses shatter on Conan's flail.

Spriggan2 from behind a stone where it was hiding a small sized spriggan uses shatter on Bobble's dagger.

Spriggan3 from behind the central stone a large sized spriggan moves around the pillar and hits Conover for 16 dam.

water elmental from the darkness near the central pillar moves a human made of water.  It charges at Rebel, but misses widely.

Bobble has not drawn his dagger so the spriggan may need to target something else.

Bobble is going to do nothing but move to the central stone, on the far side of where the large spriggan is staying out of AOO range. Rebel will be beside him and will stay between him and the large spriggan. When they are next to the central stone Rebel will jump onto it, and kick the lore stone off to Bobble who will bag it up and then try to get away.


Bobble rolled an 8, plus his normal 2 for will save, and then +1 for resistance for a total of 11. It is a MW cold iron dagger so I don’t know if that helps. It probably is destroyed. How did the spriggan know which dagger to target?

Conan will spring forward and attack S3, hopefully taking him down so Bobble doesn't have any problems from it and can get the stone quicker.   The dog will follow his master but will miss the criier

Round 2
Bobble's cold iron dagger starts to vibrate, but then the protection from chaos spell kicks in and it doesn't break.  Then he moves over to the central pillar while Rebel moves and jumps up onto the central pillar.  The high staccato voice from on top of the cackles maniacally again "Fail, fail stupid gnome, traitor.  I have what you seek, but where am I?"  Bobble then casts detect magic and looks away from where the voice came from, to the north of were Bobble is standing, "There are magical auras this way."  Rebel jumps down and stands beside Bobble.

Conan's cold iron flail doesn't even vibrate, so Conan and Conover move to attack Spriggan3.  Conover misses, Conan hits for 22 dam. He is hurt but still going.

Makoto moves through the curtain of darkness and takes in the battle, "Hmm, Drowned Shade.  That is both a water elemental and an undead."  she moves over to get a better angle on Spriggan3 and throws something at him, it hits and explodes in a puff of spores...doing 15 dam and covering his eyes in spores.  Spriggan3 goes down, dying.  Chito, who had jumped up onto the top of the stones next to Makoto, runs over and jumps onto the stone with the voice, and "meows" at Makoto.  She says, "Chito says there is nothing up there, it is a ventriloquism spell."

Yin moves behind Conan and throws a magic stone at the undead water elemental, but misses.

Cyflymder's voice says ">fey name< move in and help Redmylyfyc attack the traitor gnome" and then in another language that has a watery sound to it, "fsfs"...

Spriggan1 moves over to threaten Makoto with his morningstar while he again tries to shatter Conan's cold iron flail.
Conan, make another dc 12 WILL save

Spriggan2 grows large and moves to threaten Bobble and Rebel.

The blurry form of a quickling comes out of the dim light to Bobbles right.
 Redmylyfyc attacks Bobble in a flank attack with Spriggan2, hitting for 2 dam before moving away to the top of a stone pillar, "These are the ones I told you about Master, the ones from the hut."  Bobble starts to feel lethargic...
Bobble needs to make a dc15 For save vs poison or take 1 con

Spriggan3 dying...

water elmental/ moves over and attacks Conover, criting for 19 dam.  Conover goes down with a "Yelp...", dying.

...from 10' north of Bobble where he was standing invisible, Cyflymder takes off and moves to Conan and attacks with a electrical dagger (which he drew as he moved).  The dagger almost hits a vital area, but at the last moment luck intervenes and it is just a hit.  The dagger sparks as the stored shocking grasp goes off as well.  Conan takes 28 dam.  Cyflymder then moves away from Conan and jumps up on a stone pillar.  From the voice near Chito comes a high staccato maniacally laughter, "Feel my magical wrath, and gaze upon the Lorestone as soon the sun will destroy this druidic abomination."  In 1 hand he holds the shocking dagger and in the other something else (it is too dim for details, but it could be the Lorestone.
Protective Luck activated and turned a 20 crit into just a hit.

Round 3
As Bobble moves over to attack Cyflymder he draws out his dagger and he feels the lethargy pass (saved vs poison).  He is concentrating on his target that he ignores the threat close at hand, giving Spriggan2 an Aoo, which hits for 16 dam.  Bobble knows it would be a miracle for him to leap onto the stone pillar, so he just tries to leap up high enough to attack, and he falls short.  Rebel moves over and does manage to jump onto the stone pillar, his attack misses.  Apparently Cyflymder has a large AC.
Your post did not say you were using acrobatics to avoid spriggans aoo.

Conan's cold iron flail doesn't even vibrate, Conan attacks the undead water elemental, but misses.  Conover stops bleeding...

Makoto moves back to back with Conan, taking out a scroll as she moves.
 This gives Spriggan1 an AOO which misses.  She uses a CMW scroll on Conan, healing 14 dam.
 Chito watchs.

Yin moves next to get both the undead and Bobble in her area and Channels positive energy(leaving out the dying spriggan3), healing 11 hp, doing some dam to the undead water elemental.  Conover wakes up.  Conan orders Conover to stay down and defend himself (rolls nat 20 on Handle animal roll.

...Conover takes Total Defense, +4 dodge to ac.

Cyflymder's voice yells "Redmylyfyc, go finish off the big guy, I almost killed him.  You others, get over here and help me", then in aquan "bbdsbh".

Spriggan1 grows large and moves over to flank with Cyflymder.

Spriggan2 moves to threaten Bobble and Rebel, but can't charge because the central pillar is in the way.

Spriggan3 dying...

water elmental/ moves over to attack Conan, and moves 10' giving Conan an AOO, which he barely hits, doing minimum dam, 14.  It is hurting.  It attacks Conan, but misses due to the protective luck.

Redmylyfyc moves and attacks Conan, but again the protective luck causes him to miss the flanking attack.  He moves back to flank Rebel.

Cyflymder attacks Rebel and misses.


The light level has risen to normal as the curtain of blackness has become a curtain of grayness.

Conan will concentrate all his firepower on the mini star destroyer known as the undead water elemental.   After hitting the elemental and hopefully it will go down he move to flank with Bobble and have Conover flank with Rebel.

Bobble is stuck between a rock and a spriggan!
 It looks like desperate measures are called for.

1) Rebel is going to do a full attack against Cyfmmmfgsie...
2) Bobble will move away from the spriggan using acrobatics
And will move past the stone out of the circle, will then turn
around and will make a running jump to get to the top of the stone. If he
succeeds he will try to grab the tablet away from the quickling

The Island ends at the edge of the map.

Round 4
Bobble tries desperately to avoid the 2 large spriggans, but his skill is not sufficient for the task and both get AOO on him with 1 hitting for 12 dam.  Rebel will full attack Cyflymder, but with a 24 ac, he is almost impossible to hit without good tactics or extreme luck, and Rebel misses all 3 times.  Hurting, Bobble abandons his initial plans and moves over to the islands edge and takes out a potion, calling Rebel down.  Rebel will step off the edge and fall to the ground acrobatically.

Conan destroys the undead water elemental. Makoto says, "Hold on Conan, let me and Yin go before you move."...

Makoto casts Glitterdust on all the fey, Both Spriggans are blinded.
 Chito watches.

Yin moves and casts burning hands which burns both spriggans.

...Conan moves toward the fight.  Conover stands up and moves toward the fight.

Spriggan1 and Spriggan2 swing at Conan, both miss.  They are both still blind.
1 misses by rolling a 1, the other misses because he is blind.

Spriggan3 dying...

Redmylyfyc waits for his leader...

Cyflymder curses, "Kill the spellcasters."  They look at each other...

...Redmylyfyc moves down and attacks Makoto, hitting for 2 dam.

...Cyflymder moves down and flanks with his ally but missing Yin.  Then he moves away, confident in his ability to avoid Conan's attack, an unfounded confidence as Conan lashes out and connects for 26 dam.  The quickling moves off cursing up a storm in sylvan.  For the moment he seems to be incoherent with rage.
Conan came REALLY close to criting on his AOO

The light level has risen to normal as the curtain of blackness has become a curtain of dark grayness.

Conan will tell Conover to go help Makoto and a Yin by barking and distracting, getting within 5' of it, and threatening the quickling while he dispatches the two large spriggans.   First S2 than S1 in that order.    (In short, Conover is only suppose to distract the quickling if possible and not get into battle actual.    The spell casters can take it out quicker than he can but if he must he'll go into battle.

Round 5
Bobble hears the fighting and realizes from what they are saying that the spriggans are blinded, but he knows it won't last long.  So he rushed into the fight -potion in 1 hand/dagger in the other, stopping by spriggan2 and hitting him for 12 dam.  Rebel ignores or misinterprets your orders (it's hard to tell which) and follows Bobble and also attacks spriggan2, 4 dam.

Makoto steps back and throws a seed pod at spriggan2, missing.  She draws out her cold iron dagger.  Chito watches.
rolled a 1

Yin steps back and heals everyone 6 dam.

Conan swings on the least damaged spriggan1 and connects perfectly - criting for LOTS of dam.  Conover misses.

Spriggan2 desperately swing at Conan, both miss.  He manages to shake the glitter out of his eyes and can see again.  He is very badly hurt.

Spriggan3 dying...

Redmylyfyc waits for his leader...

Cyflymder curses seeing his spriggans in such desperate circumstances, "You hit me" he says disbelievingly.  He rushes down to the other side of Conover, "It seems this dog is precious to you?"  He stabs Conover for 20 dam, Conover goes down.  As he spring attacks back he says "Kill it."  However, he left himself open to an AOO from Yin who swings at the stone in his hand with a club.  He hits her for 18 dam, but loses the stone.  The stone he was carrying around is now on the ground near Yin.  Cyflymder laughs, "You think that was the real one.  Humans are so foolish.  You can have that fake one."  He doesn't seem to be lying.
Yin rolled 20/20


...Redmylyfyc stabs into Conover body and then moves away.  Is Conover dead?  It's hard to say.  The quickling didn't do a Coup-de-grace, he just attacked.  It was easy to say the spriggan was dead, but Conover may be dead or right next to dead.

The curtain of darkess is still dark gray, but it is getting lighter by the round.

Rebel moves 5' and full attacks, doing 13 dam and taking the last spriggan down.  Bobble moves forward, grabs the stone and drops it in a bag.

Yin will Channel, healing 3 dam, but Conover doesn't move...Conover is dead.

Why are you over reacting, even our tiny little healer knock the rock out of your hand with a STICK!    If she can hit you than anybody can and you didn't even have the cajoles to stick around to kill a defenseless dog but had your minion kill it.    So what chance do you think you're going to have against someone like me.    I mean I'm big and stupid and you're little and smart.

(If this works, I will try to first disarm the leader from his dagger, this turn and if that don't work than I will try to trip him next turn.)

Yin channels, healing 5 dam.

Cyflymder can't resist the challenge and moves in to attack Conan.  Conan attempts a disarm and fails.  Makoto gives Conan some Protective Luck.  The luck fails as Conan is hit with a critical hit for 21 dam.  The fey just laughs as he moves away.  Since he is using spring attack, Conan doesn't get an Aoo.
(I rolled a 20 followed by a 19 for the PL)

Redmylyfyc starts running around the circle, mostly hopping from top to top but sometimes dropping down to the ground to get a better angle to jump on a future stone.  He seems to look particularly at the eastern most small stone pillar(the green X) like he is looking for something.  He gets almost all the way around the circle.

Conan won't grunt or say anything, even though that hit hurt, he'll just turn to face the quickling, knowing this will probably be his last chance to hit or do anything to the fast little critter.   He will prep his action for when the quickling comes again, he'll raise up his heavy flail as if to strike but will instead trip the fey.

Yin will use her last channel, healing everyone (not badguys) who needs it, 12 dam.
This message was last updated by the GM at 00:05, Tue 01 Sept 2020.

Bobble sees the motion of the quickling and will take off for the stone on the edge of the circle he keeps glancing at. He will send Rebel ahead to jump onto the top of the stone and push off anything he finds up there. Bobble will plan on climbing the stone if Rebel can’t see anything. He will use detect magic next round if needed.

Bobble and Rebel explore the pillar with the X...and find nothing.

Cyflymder laughs, "You are so easy to fool."  Then to Conan "I think I will kill you last...you can watch as you fail to save your friends, 1 by 1."  He attacks Yin (the healer) "no more healing for you".  Makoto Protective Lucks her and he still hits but almost missed.  He does 16 dam.

Redmylyfyc moves to a flank, waits for Cyflymder to spring attack, then moves away with acrobatics.

They end up where they started from.

Yin casts sanctuary, and talks to Makoto who says, "Don't move Conan, make them come to us."  As Yin and Makoto move next to him, back to back with each other.

Bobble will spend at least one round casting detect magic and concentrating on the
 southern portion of the circle. Rebel will be next to him with a held action to attack if the fey come close.

Round 8
Rebel jumps down and readies an action.  Bobble casts detect magic and concentrates on the area and detects magic.  But with the curtain of darkness around, that is no surprise.  He will need to concentrate longer if he wants to determine if there is an individual magical aura somewhere.

Cyflymder says to his ally "Take the fool" and they move to attack Bobble, Makoto uses Protective Luck on Bobble and it works...the fey misses.

Redmylyfyc moves to a flank Bobble, waits for Cyflymder to spring attack, then moves away with acrobatics.  Rebel manages to hit him for 5 dam.  This quickling is seriously hurt.  Rebel and Bobble then get Aoos as he fails his acrobatics roll to get away, but both miss.

The fey run outside the circle and you can't see them.
There locations on the map is where they left the circle and how much movement they had left.
The curtain of darkess is now light gray...almost gone...maybe a round or 2 more.

Bobble is going to move to the top of the circle and inspect the pillar there. He will send Rebel to the southern most pillar to do the same.


I’m fresh out of ideas here guys! We are almost out of time! Any ideas?

Makoto says, "Conan, lets get over to Bobble so we can support each other.  Bobble, I thought he was just trying to trick us to look over there.  Are we sure that stone isn't the one we are looking for, perhaps he was lying about that one."

Conan will move over to Bobble to support him.    He'll do this by prepping an attack (prepare an action)(to trip) on the first fey to come near Bobble's position.

Round 9
Rebel runs to the south and jumps on top of the pillars, he runs across the south most pillars and finds nothing, then he readies an action.  Bobble moves to the north to look around.  Being only 3'6" what he can see is limited, but as far as he can see there is no unusual stone or such around here.

Conan will move next to Bobble and ready an action.
ready action to trip first fey to come near Bobble's position

Makoto readies an action and stays next to Yin as they both stay next to Conan.

Yin casts clw (9 heal) and stays next to Conan.

Spriggan2 dying...

Spriggan3 dying...


Redmylyfyc moves in next to Makoto and Yin while giving directions to his leader on where you have moved.  Cyflymder moves in provoking an AOO and readied action from Conan(AOO miss, readied action miss), misses an attack on Makoto and then spring attacks away.  Redmylyfyc acrobatically moves away.

The group gets the impression that Makoto wasn't the first choice of a target, either Conan or Bobble seemed to be their primary target last round and Makoto was a target of opportunity.
The curtain of greyness is...almost gone...last round for sure.

Sure, Bobble will try going with Conans idea of double jumping rather than him using an action to lift Bobble up. DM pleas roll.

Round 10
Rebel looks at the quicklings ready to pounce, but will continue looking around, sees nothing.  Bobble moves back and with a "running" start easily (with his speed) manages to jump/bounce off Conan up onto the stone.  Looking around he sees nothing that looks like the lorestone.

Conan moves and slams his flail into Redmylyfyc, killing him instantly.  The central pillar and his flail are splattered with quickling blood and guts.

Makoto readies an action and stays next to Yin as they both stay next to Conan.

Yin life links Makoto and stays next to Conan.

Spriggan2 dying...

Spriggan3 dying...

Cyflymder throws a hissy fit, "NO, no, no, I will NOT be defeated by stupid lowly humans.  I will kill you all."  He avoids Conan's reach (acrobatics), moves to Bobble "Give me the stone.  It's mine I stole it, it's mine and I wanna destroy it."  He hits Bobble for 11 dam before spring attacking away.

The curtain of greyness vanishes and dawns light fills the circle...and nothing obvious happens.
Protection from Chaos on Conan, Makoto and Yin goes down.

Bobble, I guess you have the real stone so get your butt over here so that we can better help you defend yourself.   Conan will Yell over to Bobble to move quickly over to him and the others for mutual protection.   Conan will move around to the other side of the central pillar facing the fey and ready and action to trip him.

Round 11+
Everyone gathers around Conan...
Rebel and Bobble move and ready actions.

Conan moves and readies an action.

Makoto moves and readies an action.

Yin moves and channels her last channel, healing 10 hp.
- will use a scroll of protection from chaos communal on Makoto, Yin and Conan

Spriggan2 dying...
- at some point he dies and shrinks to small size.

Spriggan3 dying...
- apparently stable

Cyflymder glares at you before he starts trying to whittle you down from afar. At each failure he becomes more and more frustrated...
- Tries to shatter Conan's cold iron flail (conan saves)
- Tries to trick you with dancing lights (You have seen this trick before)
- Throws 4 daggers at you, 1 each
          Bobbles, Makoto are missed, Yin is missed due to Protective Luck
          Conan is hit; takes damaged (healed by Yin) and makes his For save vs posion
- He recharges the dagger of spell storing with another shocking grasp and then casts vanish (Yes, he can cast spells)
...invisible he moves in and attacks Conan (who's strength and reach are causing problems), hitting for 24 dam, not enough to take Conan down.  As he spring attacks away Conan's flail(readied action) catches the annoying evil quickling at the feet and dumps him on the ground. The group surrounds him and attacks;
- Rebel moves to flank and misses, but both Bobble and Conan hit (a prone target has -4 to AC from melee attacks) inflicting lots of damage...

...For a moment you hope for victory, but as you watch, a necklace he is wearing, with a string of intricately carved bones, has the last bone break and he heals most of the damage you just inflicted upon him.  In despair you watch as he acrobatically gets up and moves away mocking you.
   Suddenly a beautiful woman appears between the fey and the group in a dress (seemingly made of water) that covered everything but concealed nothing (if you know what I mean), Bobble, Conan and Cyflymder just stop and stare.  From the waters edge a huge sized water elemental appears and starts moving toward the woman.  Makoto whispers to Yin, "Nerid, be very careful...".  The woman turns to Cyflymder and says in a voice as soothing as a cool breeze on a hot day "Cyflymder, what did I tell you to do before you went on your pointless crusade?"  Cyflymder replies with adoration "return the necklace to my Queen", "...and..." she prompts, "without using it."  She continues "return it to me now."  Cyflymder moves forward and hands her the necklace.  She puts it on and breathes a sigh of relief.  She bends down toward Cyflymder "And here is your reward..." as she kisses him.  His eyes and lips turn blue, he is blinded, poisoned and starts gagging as water fills his lungs.
   She turns away from the dying quickling and looks at the group and gestures toward Cyflymder, "Who are you and what do you have to do with this one?"  The huge water elemental is beside her, waiting....

---

- Conan and Bobble are fascinated and can do nothing but watch and answer her questions(as long as she doesn't attack them or their allies).  Conan and Bobble may refuse to answer her questions if they make a dc 18 will save per question.

She mutters, "Yang keep it in your pants..."  To the Nerid, "Great and dread Mistress, this one took that which was not his.  we are here to claim it from him and he did not take kindly to this.  If we might have your leave we will take our companions and cease our disturbance of your peace."  The Nereid looks thoughtful, "Did he harm Hemzul?"  Yin says "Yes, in many cruel ways, which I shall not go into here."  The Nereid sighs,

Will continue this later...
