PrP: Think of the Children!

From Tenebrae
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Dateline: Khael 24. Happy Valley is reeling with shock after a number of the Gnome children were abducted during the night. Does this have anything to do with the renegade ogre Sandy Claws and his rumored artificer minions? There are reports of someone large dressed in red, so we're just baselessly speculating at this point! Only adventurers from Alexandria will be able to get to the bottom of this chilling tale!

Jessamy: Brunette human woman carrying the symbol of Serriel.

Raethon: Llyranesi male with dark hair

Takiyah: Auburn-haired gobber woman in vestments of Reos

Tiasa: Mostly blue Sith-makar with a wild look

Vroole: Black stone creature in arcane armor.

You find yourselves outside Happy Valley, the Gnomish settlement, tracking the abductor of several children. From the footprints you suspect it's an ogre or other small giant, and the locals who hired you told you tales of a local ogre who lives up in the hills and occasionally emerges to trade, named Sandy Claws. Nobody knows why. He is rumoured to be smarter than the average ogre.

The large boot prints have led you up into the hills and you believe you are drawing near.

Tiasa isn't good at tracking all that well yet, but she knows how to survive a bit. The sith glances around at the others and smiles "I am Tiasa.." she hisses a bit, "Anyone know anything more about thisss Sandy Claws? Not many gnomes talked to me, think find me intimidating."

Up to this point, Jessamy's been fairly quiet, although courteous and friendly enough; she's made it clear that tracking is not her forte, and that she will be able to help more when their quarry is located. While others follow the trail, she's kept her eyes peeled for any trouble.

GAME: Tiasa rolls survival: (14)+6: 20

Takiyah is glad for the large bootprints, because she is much better at healing allies and crafting items than she is at tracking. The gobber Forge has a hand on her dragonspitter, while the other is using her longspear as a walkingstaff.

Walking along with them, Raethon seems to be keeping up with Jessamy. He looks.....a little out of place in this group, but well.....sometimes knowledge is a good thing. "Raethon. It is a pleasure to meet you all." She says before looking to Tiasa.

GAME: Raethon rolls survival: (8)+2: 10

GAME: Raethon rolls diplomacy: (14)+1: 15

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Raethon chatted up some Happy Valley locals, one of whom believes that Sandy Claws is trying to work on Artifice. He may even have a Death Ray!"

Joining the merry band is the stone faced creature, self named to them all, "Indeed it is. I am Vroole. Jessamy..." He says it like he commits ti to memory and nods after a bit, the stone war golem continuing along the path. he wasn't much of a tracker, but he might be able to assist in a way.

The tracks went their way through the hills, you follow them easily. However, you are seeing the signs of local herd animals criss-crossing the trail, deer it appears and some are quite large.

The young Serrielite with the brown curly hair nods at the name 'Jessamy' -- that's her. Apparently these two have worked together before, because Jessamy simply nods at the name, as if she remembered it. At the sight of the herd tracks, she looks around and sniffs the air. "Raethon, it's a pleasure. Are these local creatures?" she asks of the group's trackers, studying the hoofprints.

"Name's Takiyah; pleased to meet all of you," the gobber Forge introduces herself. She blinks a bit at the hoofprints crossing the trail, but shrugs and follows the rest of the party.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Knowledge/Nature?"

GAME: Raethon rolls knowledge/nature: (18)+13: 31

GAME: Tiasa rolls knowledge/Nature: (4)+6: 10

Tiasa cocks her head to the side, "Not used to animals here, used to jungle, different animals in jungle than here, But big they are."

Raethon walks along with the group. "From what I hear, this guy has a death ray." he then looks to Takiyah. Do you know how to counter death rays?"

You paged Raethon with 'Hmm, reindeer. Normally these just live much further North. Domesticated too you think from the patterns.'

Takiyah thinks for a few moments. "I might be able to come up with a design,but I don't have anything field-ready with me," she shakes her head. "About the best I can do is to ask Reos to shift accuracy and fortune to our side."

You paged Raethon with 'You have not heard anything either way.'

Raethon nods to Takiyah. "I might be able to reduce the damage in any case. I have a couple of spells specific for that purpose." he then ponders. "Also, he has raindeer that seem to be domesticated."

"Only thing is find out if he is misusing Reos's gift. And if so... then there will be no place he can hide were I will not find him." For once, and probably only the first time for anyone ever, might they have heard some hate pouring forth from the War Golems mouth. Seems VRoole did not appreciate those that misused the great maker's gifts.

Tiasa just watches the tracks to get them where they are going.

After some time you come to a natural bowl in the hills, and the boot tracks become obscured with reindeer treads. Apparently they are many and active here, and indeed surrounding the lip of the bowl are a ring of antlers, born on the brows of deer. There are eight that look normal and one that is monstrously larger than the rest with a glowing red nose. All nine of them are lowering their horns and preparing to charge.

Ssylrath has dropped a TIMESTOP!

<OOC> Vroole says, "Activate armor as swift, and use my Entangle spell. are they all within about a 40 ft radius to the big guy?"

<OOC> Vroole says, "and all into dex for armor activation."

The mostly blue-scaled sith takes a look at those reindeer and then gets a look on her face, "Oh big prey, good challege, come get me you furry appetizers." she calls out and then roars in a feral rage. Her body seems to swell a bit as her muscles grow and she almost gets a bit bigger. But that is not all, her hands and fingers crackle and distort as they grow and change forming into claws. She stands waiting for something to come close at the moment.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "They are spread around you on all sides. You can get... 3 including the big one or 4 otherwise."

It is now Mutated Reindeer's turn! Jessamy is next!

GAME: Takiyah casts Bless. Caster Level: 5 DC: 15

"Reos, hearten our arms!" Takiyah intones, and a wave of encouragement washes over the party.

Vroole looks for something useful he had prepared a bit ago in town just for some tussle in the woods like this. The thing looks like a whirly gig device with a green vine spike on the bottom. He whirs it to life with his finger and slings it over near the largest deer thing with a red nose and it lands shooting the vine into the ground and causing all the wild growth rises up to try and impeded the large deer and a couple others, the ground comes alive with squirming undergrowth for 40 feet around the large creature.

The large glowing reindeer was just preparing to charge when the ery plants of the ground rose up and tried to grab him. How dare they! He forces his way through the grasping grasses and... growls? That's not normal at all. His nose is also glowing more brightly.

It is now Jessamy's turn! Reindeer is next!

<OOC> Jessamy says, "Draw the bow and see if I can put an arrow into our drunken reindeer."

GAME: Ssylrath rolls 3 (esc.art): (10)+3 (esc.art): 13

GAME: Ssylrath rolls 1d5: (3): 3

Uh-oh. As the creatures start to charge, Jessamy mutters, "Maiden's shield and spear stand strong with us," as she reaches for the ranseur in the harness at her back, but before she can move, Vroole's done something and the very grass rises up in anger to slow the creatures down. A grin tugs at her lips. "That's useful," she remarks, unslinging the bow instead and dropping an arrow into the largest of the three. A solid hit, but not a vital one, and she nods.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Fail. Okay. The other six attack, charging. One on each of you, two on Raethon (randomly)."

GAME: Ssylrath rolls 4 (Jess): (20)+4 (Jess): 24

Two of the reindeer are fighting the vines, one more successfully than the other, but the rest charge with a thunderous roar of hooves on turf. Several get in nasty gores.

It is now Raethon's turn! Tiasa is next!

<OOC> Raethon says, "argh. first...that was painful."

<OOC> Raethon says, "second I 5' step backwards and cast haste."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, there's not a lot of room to maneuver but you can still do that. Cast and pose."

You paged Tiasa with 'Oh, I forgot your action in the pose, please feel free to pose it. :)'

GAME: Tiasa's initiative total changed to 12.

GAME: NEW ROUND!

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Vroole?"

Tiasa was waiting and ready for the charge of the Reindeer and growls, "Thank you for saving me the running you down." as she takes a chunk out of the reindeer with one of her claws just before it misses hitting her, it might even be why it missed, not expecting the sith to get a claw in.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, Vroole let me know when you are ready, I'll move on and come back to you when ready. No foul."

It is now Takiyah's turn! Mutated Reindeer is next!

Getting rammed by a reindeer does not feel good. Raethon is hit so hard that he rolls backwards and to his feet. "Ow......friggin deer." he says as he says a few spidery words and taps his staff to the ground. A circle appears under everyone, but the most noticeable effect happens to all of Raethon's allies. a clock appears in front of them and seems to speed up dramatically before it disapepars.

<OOC> Takiyah says, "5' step out of the way and cast Prayer."

<OOC> Vroole says, "sorry here still."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, Vroole first?"

<OOC> Vroole says, "five step and shoot the one that hit me also."

GAME: Vroole rolls ranged +2 +1 +1: (8)+5+2+1+1: 17

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, Takiyah. Cast and pose."

GAME: Takiyah casts Prayer. Caster Level: 5 DC: 17

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "And pose, Vroole, too."

It is now Mutated Reindeer's turn! Jessamy is next!

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, the big one charges Vroole. With three of you having stepped back you aren't well covered, and it didn't like that Entangle. :)"

GAME: Ssylrath rolls 7: (6)+7: 13

Takiyah steps away from the reindeer and makes a sweeping gesture. "Reos, move the fulcrum in our favor!" the gobber forge calls out. Luck shifts from the nearby reindeer to the party, weakening the former and strengthening the latter.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Miss."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Even without the Prayer penalty."

It is now Jessamy's turn! Tiasa is next!

<OOC> Jessamy says, "OK. Drop the bow (free), step back 5' and draw the ranseur (reach weapon) -- one attack."

The large reindeer shakes his antlers and then charges at the rock-man, his horns glanging off the hard stone.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You are out of places to step back, sorry. You could attack another one with it though."

Vroole can feel the power of the bless and haste as his movement increases, the armor usually adding a bit, the haste added though makes it feel like he can do anything twice as fast not just with better efficiency. That was one thing he would have to learn himself at some point, would come very much in handy later on as he takes aim and rakes his frost ray across the deer that did him some damage and it goes down frosty like.

<OOC> Jessamy says, "Change that to longsword and attack."

GAME: Jessamy rolls sword+3: aliased to weapon1+3: (7)+6+3: 16

GAME: Tiasa rolls 1d6+8: (5)+8: 13

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You drop that one and savage another brutally."

It is now Reindeer's turn! Raethon is next!

The reindeer slams into Jessamy's armor, finding purchase between the plates and leaving a gash in her shoulder, marking the plates with crimson. It doesn't appear serious, though, and she's about to step back ... nowhere to go. The bow clatters to the ground at her feet, and she pulls the longsword from its sheath, leaving a gash in its chest in return.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "One tries to escape the entangle."

GAME: Ssylrath rolls 3: (3)+3: 6

Tiasa feels full of more energy than she ever has, the haste fills her as well as the prayers and blessings. She roars at the reindeer and her claws move in blinding fashion. The first misses its target but the second rips it open dropping guts to the ground as the beast falls and she is still moving and slashes another close reindeer ripping into it deeply.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Okay, two attack Jessamy, one Takiyah, and one Vroole. The one Tiasa hit runs away, withdrawing."

<OOC> Vroole nods, "With armor activated it adds 2... and what on for whichever spell so if it equals 20 AC it looks like I got at the moment yeah.

The mass of reindeer churns, hooves and antlers striking out, but only Vroole is hit at all.

It is now Raethon's turn! Vroole is next!

<OOC> Raethon says, "has the deer on me left me alone?"

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Yep."

<OOC> Raethon says, "who's hurt the worst then?"

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "One on Jessamy looks a little injured."

<OOC> Raethon says, "all right. let's see if I can make a scorching ray work."

<OOC> Raethon says, "I don't have precise shot though."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "So, -4 to hit."

<OOC> Raethon is trying to figure out all the bonuses. I only know of bless and haste. what about prayer?

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "That's a +1 as well. And lemme fix the damage because of that too."

GAME: NEW ROUND!

It is now Vroole's turn! Takiyah is next!

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Vroole, two are on you including the big one. There is nowhere to step back to."

With the deer out of his face, Raethon turns his attention to the deer that is attacking Jessamy. Attempting to assist, Raethong aims the top of his staff at the deer and fires a ray of scorching energy at the deer.....but he aimed at the thing's head....and ther ay goes through it's antlers.

<OOC> Vroole says, "Actually can I drop the gun and use titan fist slam?"

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "On the big one or the small one?"

<OOC> Takiyah says, "Is there one 10' away? Longspears have reach."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Sure. It'll have cover though from other combatants."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Or, the big one won't if you want to attack it."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Stabbing over Vroole. :)"

Maybe its mad to drop his death ray, but Vroole does it anyway as the armored plates slide over his fists, turning them into full metal punching machines. The large deer was a reject of mad science and it needed to be taken down. One, two, three, the haste spell helping as the first one connects on its chin, the other passing by as it reels a little, but he Vroole corrects for a third, hitting it in the shoulder with a solid thunk. It seems though it barely registers the metal fists hitting it.

<OOC> Takiyah says, "I'll attack the big one twice, then. And more like stabbing *under* Vroole, given my (lack of) height."

It is now Jessamy's turn! Tiasa is next!

<OOC> Jessamy says, "Attack with longsword again. This time I think Imma try PA, and this is a full attack."

Takiyah twirls her spear around and jabs at the mutated reindeer, using Vroole as a portable wall. The Forge's spear connects twice, making some cuts on the mutant's legs.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Sure. There's one on Jessamy, one on Takiyah, one on Vroole, plus the big one."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Everyone is close so you can attack any."

Antlers skitter harmlessly off of armor, and Jessamy shakes her head. Enough is enough, and with a cry of "Serriel!" she brings the blade down /hard/ and almost wildly across the creature's chest. Wild as it is, the blow strikes true, and blood sprays hard across her and anyone close to her as the blade opens a key artery. It drops, and she turns her attention to her other attaker, but this blow is not as true and goes wide.

<OOC> Tiasa says, "okay full attack power attack, trying to get more than one if still hit after someting goes down."

GAME: Ssylrath rolls 1: (9)+1: 10

Tiasa growls and shifts gears to attack the one fighting Takiyah and rips it to shreds with both of her claws, but she is still moving pretty fast and manages to get a swipe at the one of Vroole as well as the first falls. The sith seems almost more wild beast than sentient right now.

One of the reindeer staggers away bleeing heavily where Tiasa savaged it, and the other tries to injure Jessamy without success. There is one still fighting the plants, it's all wrapped up in a bush currently.

It is now Raethon's turn! Vroole is next!

Seeing his back against the wall, Raethon taps the shoulder of Jessamy with his staff. He says a few spidery words and Jess SHOULD feel a lot stronger.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Most of them are down or fled."

Finding a little room the added speed helps him to move back out of range a bit from attacks from the big one, picking up his gun he swings it around to rake it across the big deer... The war golem was very much pissed off now ti seems as fur freezes over with the rake and the abomination felt that one for sure.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "The other two are trying to flee, can we end combat here or do you want to kill them too?"

<OOC> Jessamy says, "I see no reason to kill them without need."

<OOC> Tiasa says, "is good with ending"

Takiyah jabs once, then winds up and stabs the mutated reindeer hard, finally finishing the beast off.

Tiasa shakes her head and pants a bit as she watches the big one fall and the others are fleeing. She lets herself come down from her rage. She hasn't bee harmed but she resumes her normal size and her hands distort as they turn from claws back to hands. She looks a bit tired too, "Where think the ogre is from here?" she asks as she looks around.

You are surrounded with dead reindeer and blood. So much blood.

All the fleeing deer fled one way, along the path you are follwoing. It seems the sensible way to go.

As the deer withdraw, dead or fled, Jessamy relaxes and looks around her. Crimson marks the plates of armor heavily, but little enough of it seems to be hers, and she shakes her head slowly. "They are beautiful ... but what happened to the one?" she asks, pulling a cloth and wiping her blade clean. "My thanks for the spell," she adds to Raethon, sheathing the blade and moving back over to where she dropped the composite bow.

Tiasa nods, "We should take few to make it up path, need moment to recover," but it would only take a minute or two so wouldn't be that much of a difficulty.

Vroole tosses his death ray over his back and considers the mutated deer some more, "If I could spit I wouldn't waste it on such an animal as this..." He almost could be heard to growl, if rumbling stone against stone could be considered a growl like sound from the Artificer stone creation. He does move over to check the body of the creature.

Takiyah looks at the dead reindeer. "Maybe we should take some of these back, once we make the return trip after defeating Sandy Claws?" she suggests. "It'd be a shame to let the meat go to waste, after all."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Can I get Knowledge/Nature and Craft/Artifice from anyone with the skills?"

GAME: Vroole rolls Craft/Artifice: (9)+13: 22

GAME: Tiasa rolls knowledge/nature: (8)+6: 14

GAME: Takiyah rolls Craft/Artifice: (13)+11: 24

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Weird, I lagged there. Anyway, there's a glowing device of artifice attached to its muzzle. Probably enraged it and made it tougher."

While the others examine the bodies, Jessamy looks the others over and puts her weapons back in order. "Yes," she nods in agreement with Takiyah. "I think it's cold enough that they'll keep for the time this takes. No doubt the poor will appreciate the meat."

Vroole reaches for the artificer like device on the nose and with little care, rips it out of the creature and looks ti over, "I have no need for the meat, but this... This will need looking over."

Raethon nods to Jessamy and walks his way forward. "I don't think we're done yet though...."

Tiasa cleans herself up a bit and is looking more relaxed and better each moment that goes by.

"No. I want to find the person that created that ... thing." Jessamy jerks her chin at the mutated reindeer. "And more importantly, those children ... and Guardian grant that they still live."

The stone creation nods to that, "Indeed... what ever made this will find a very enraged war golem. Especially if the children have been harmed in any way." Vroole tucks away the device so he can check it out at a later time, for the moment making haste to find the creator would be more important.

Dusk is starting to draw in and the temperature is dropping as eventually you come to a large cave mouth. From inside a deep bellow can be heard. "Work, little elves! Make toys for Sandy Claws, toys to kill with! Ho ho ho ho!" It sounds very ominous.

You also hear a whimpering that sounds like children, but it is cut short at the bellow.

GAME: Tiasa ends her rage.

GAME: Ssylrath removes the timestop.

Tiasa has recovered by the time they made it there and her eyes turn fiercely red, "He has made them slaves...." she hisses, "Children are precious and sacred.." if she didn't like this ogre before, she really dosn't now.

You are grouped outside the entrance, it's about 10' wide and tall. It seems to be if anything even colder inside, but the cave makes a turn a short way in and you can see light around the corner.

"...to kill with?" Jessamy's voice lowers, taut with anger. "Enough." Leather drops to the ground at her feet as she releases the ranseur from its harness and grips it in both hands. "Le's go."

<OOC> Jessamy says, "I will lead."

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Just Jessamy leading?"

<OOC> Vroole says, "slapping a shield device onto myself and the Fox's Cunning also. Both should last 4 minutes, plenty of time I would think for combat. :P And I'll go with him."

As you come around the corner, you can see up ahead into a large room with an ogre wearing red-stained Titan armor. He is glaring at a gaggle of gnomish children huddled among some crude tools, unmoving. However you have tripped an alarm wire and there is a clatter of metal-on-metal. The ogre turns, sees you, and shouts. "Frosty! Kill!"

<OOC> Takiyah says, "Casting Bless"

With the cold snow creature rises up, Vroole flicks his death ray back to standard shots and fires it across the snowy body of the thing. IT crackels with arcane energy and scorches it. This thing was going to be tough though.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "Vroole?"

It is now Jessamy's turn! Frosty is next!

Frosty drops in a pile of snow -- the group brought guns to a snowball fight! Not, however, before the branches clatter across Jessamy's armor, buffeting her again. She staggers, but Takiyah's russet healing washes over her, and she breathes a sigh of relief and steps through the snow. "Guide my weapon against this foul creature!" she shouts, burying the ranseur in its flesh. Looks like that hurt.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "I think that's just Jessamy hit, even with Rage."

GAME: NEW ROUND!

It is now Tiasa's turn! Takiyah is next!

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You'll have to provoke or acrobatics to get into melee."

Raethon smirks as the snowman drops. he then points his staff towards Sandy claws. three blue balls fire out and hit the man in the face. Raethon chuckles.

<OOC> Tiasa says, "will try acrobatics to get into melee and then single attack with power attack"

GAME: Tiasa rolls acrobatics: (10)+5: 15

GAME: Tiasa rolls melee+2-1: (16)+7+2+-1: 24

GAME: Tiasa rolls 1d6+8: (6)+8: 14

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "You drop him. Pose."

Tiasa growls as she is almost hit and then the ogre starts to move back, "No far, stack close, easier to hit." she growls and she moves forward rolling, though it puts her right in front of the ogre and easy target though the ogre misses and Tiasa ducks under his strike and shoves her claws deep into his gut. She pulls her claws out, as Sandy grasps his belly, blood and guts oozing out past his fingers, "All.." coughing up blood, "I..wanted..was all the toys.." more coughed blood, "to kill everyone." he cries out as he collapses, unmoving.

Timestop by Ssylrath has left.

With the fall of their captor the gnomish children come running over. They are all dressed in green outfits with pointy green hats. There is a babble of thanks and pleas for rescue and the like.

Vroole nods and accepts the gracious thanks, but finds the claws death ray and with a crack over his knee he busts it into two pieces and tosses it away. It wasn't good for anything anyway with its creator dead now. The next thing he does is move over to where the gnomes were working and looks over what they were making for this Sandy ogre thing.

Before JEssamy can follow, Tiasa springs into action, and the creature falls under the sith'makar's claws. The ranseur lowers, and she tells the corpse, "The only toy you'll be seeing is Lamentation, foul one." She looks up, and around at the others, her own armor dented rather badly, then at the gnomes as they cluster around them. "We'll take you back," she tells them.

Aside from the usual trash found in ogre lairs, there is a large Artifice workbench with rough tools. Interestingly it looks like he never figured out how to do Contraptions, they were beyond his intellect. The children were given a bunch of tools ranging from rocks to metal sprockets and the like, none of any significant value.

Tiasa looks drained and tired, but a look of accomplishment on her face as her rage fades and she returns to normal.

The children say they were grabbed through windows and similar, stuffed in a sack and brought here. Sandy kept demanding they make him 'toys' and he seemed to think they were magical elves who could make anything.

Takiyah rummages through the workbench, taking any parts that might be of salvageable use. While she might not have the knack of a true artificer, these components might still come in handy for more normal magical crafting.

<OOC> Ssylrath says, "And that's pretty much it. You take the kiddies back and get your payment, case closed. If anyone wants to post a rumor to the board you can claim an RPP remember. :)"

Leaving most of it behind, it was rubbish, Vroole already had his own master work tools to do his own work with. Anything there would be a waste to try and keep and use in his own case, "

Vroole says, "Lets get these gnomes home. I'm sure they have those that are missing them."

Raethon looks about at the kids and twirls his staff, chuckling. "I think we did pretty good."
