Bartomus tries to impale the onrushing Orc15, but misses. Stock slams his flail into Orc18, and then brings it around into Orc16 on the backswing. The loud crack of breaking bones accompany both hits, and both orcs fall. --- PC Actions
At Lavinia’s instruction, Sasha bounds behind Orc15 (Move Action), and bites at him, but misses (Standard Action). The ranger swings around the cat, and closes on the fallen orcs.(Double Move) OOC – more detail in post email
Bartomus grabs a dagger and yells. "Find the girl, whoever she is, we have to find the girl."
Having quickly dispatched the two orcs behind him, Stock finds no adjacent opponents upon which to fix his glare. Instead, (DM assumes that) he turns his attentions back on Scarface. The dwarf has the hang of his size this time, and the mighty flail whizzes over Sid’s head and slams into the orc leader with a resounding SMACK!
Zanderallen gives himself a quick heal, and calls out "The shaman disappeared, watch out everyone." The paladin presses the attack on Scarface, who is still standing. His blade cleaves into the big orc, and continues its path into Orc11’s side. Orc11 falls.
Scarface is still up, and screaming profanities, and swinging away. Sid strikes at him, but misses.
Stohp takes a step to the left, and tosses a rock into the space behind the fighting orcs. A loud BOOM rocks that corner of the room, and the visible orcs duck instinctively. Only Orc 12 appears affected, though.
"The orc caster went invisible" calls out Micah as he realizes what occurred. The cleric casts a spell, giving all within 10’ of him extra protection. Dorbin casts aanother spell.

Scarface is bleeding from multiple wounds, but he ain’t dead. Not by a long shot. Bellowing in pain and rage, he continues his assault on Zanderallen. The paladin fends off both falchion strokes, but Scarface succeeds in biting him. Zanderallen loses 7 hp.

Sid's ears perk up as he hear's Micah's yell, "Well, this has been fun I must say. I'll just leave this here for you to look at at your leisure, I think I have some other business to attend to." This that Sid drops the paper and disengages from Scar Face going R21, Q20, and parkouring up Bart and Stoph, through the P/Q 19/18 junction to fly over Dorbin's head with a tumble to O16 and go out the door to climb up to the nearest window.

"Haha. Keep them coming!." Stock finishes his turn. As he does he notices his "friends" from the javelin contest moving in. "Hey boys! I believe we've met before!"
For a moment he is disoriented but it passes and he turns then back to Scar Face and goes full extension with his lengthened arms in bringing his flail around again.
In an instance, Stock's head whips around to see if any of the orcs approach within range of his flail.

Dorbin nods at Bart and points just beyond him. A massive, powerful leopard appears behind Bart and lunges into the battle with the orc. The leopard's paws and teeth slash and tear, drawing large amounts of blood from the creature.
Dorbin ducks as Sid jumps over his head, then he makes a gesture at the wagon and pulls Bart's glaive up and over the battle, through the air, and to his hands.
Leopard appears at N21 then pounces (charge) Orc 15 (ending at N19). That gives him 3 normal attacks, plus two rake attacks from the pounce. Ouch.

Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 21/10/21 CMD:15 Monday August 7th, 2017 1:08:22 PM
He rapidly looks around, trying to take in the ensuing melee. "What happened to Briadoc?" cries out Micah, concerned what the halfling might be able to do, then acting on an impulse he adds, "Make sure these treacherous orcs, don't murder him!"
He then reaches out to touch Zanderallen, mystical words focusing his will, he adds his own, [b]"Domi aid your just fight,"[b] as strength fills the paladin.

Roaring as the orcs teeth sink into his shoulder, Zanderallen shrugs him off as he feels a newfound strength surge through him from Micah's spell. "Biting? Really? We might as well start name calling too, Ugly Guts." Zander steadies himself and, spotting an opening, lands another gash into Scar Face. Cleaving through he continues the blow into the Orc kind enough to walk into his reach. Pulling back from the blow Zander gives his shoulder a quick rub to heal the bite marks. ----------------- Swift action - Lay on Hands (3 remaining) -Healed 5 Standard Action - Cleave Scar Face into Orc 12 - 23 hits Scar Face for 19 damage - 17 to hit Orc 12 for 11 damage Not moving, AC -2 Cleave +2 MCaE

Sasha, frustrated at her first miss on the orc tries for another attack. She's just as determined as her ranger when it comes down to hunting.
Lavinia, skidding to a halt in front of the prone orc decides she'll try and take him out before he can get up.
Sid rolls, flips, and cartwheels over and around his comrades and out the back door. Above him, the rogue sees the open shutters of a large 5’x 5’ opening. Using the brackets of the back door as handholds, he is able to climb up to within grabbing distance of either the shutter or the bottom of the window. OOC - Climb rate is one quarter speed. Sid can reach far enough to see in second floor using a Single Move Action, and therefore will have a Standard action remaining.
Stohp ducks the flying elf, and then squeezes past Micah and Bartomus. Reaching a point where he can get a clear shot, the taur pegs the shaman with a tanglefoot bag. The shaman is encased in goo, and falls to the floor, unable to move.
Bartomus slashes at Orc 15, missing, and calls out for Dorbin to help him out.
Stock calls out a welcome to his gaming buddies, and then blasts Scarface upside the head with another resounding THWACK!
Dorbin obliges Bartomus. A leopard appears next to Orc 15. Caught between the leopard and Sasha, the orc has no chance. The two cats shred him. Various pieces of orc drop stickily to the floor, as the druid’s glaive floats through the air and into his waiting arms.
Micah asks about the whereabouts of Briadoc. As far as anyone can tell, the halfling has not left the office. The cleric casts Bulls Strength on Zanderallen.
Zanderallen reveling in his new found strength, happily repeats his exercise. His blade cuts deeply into Scarface, and then continues through Orc 12. The smaller orc falls.
Lavinia strikes Orc 14 twice, and he dies at her feet.
-- Orc Actions
Scarface is a bloody mess. His leather helmet might be the only thing keeping his skull together, and he’s leaking important parts out of his stomach wound. Still, he’s standing. No longer yelling, the orc wordlessly gives Zanderallen a defiant look. The orc is going down fighting. He spits the blood out of his mouth, and attacks. Either from desperation, or sheer force of will, both falchion attacks pierce the paladin's defenses. Zanderallen takes 34 hp damage.
The shaman struggles against the goo pinning him to the floor, but is unable to break free.
All four of Stock’s javelin buddies charge him. They are joined by Orc 13, who has seen enough of the paladin’s blade to try someone else. Stock gets AoOs on Orc 7 and Orc 8 at ac 11. Three orcs miss. If Orc 7 survives the charge, he hits Stock for 8 hp damage. Orc 13 also hits Stock, for 7 hp damage.
The orc on the stairs (S2) leaps down and strikes Lavinia. Lavinia takes 15 hp damage.
Orc 17 also moves in an attacks Lavinia. He misses.
Five more orcs pour down the stairs and pause, evaluating the scene.

The leopard that appeared out of thin air tore the orc into pieces and then seemed to turn to look about. Bartomus was grateful for that assistance as his dagger slash was wild at best. He caught movement out of the corner of his eye, turned and watched in awe as his glave floated into his hands , Bartomus looked back at Dorbin and smiled. "Great trick, thanks Dorbin!"
Bartomus squeezed past the leopard and around the grease trap. He was out of reach of the orcs, and took a readied stance.
"You all could just decide to head out and catch the next boat out of here. Once you tell us where the girl is." Bartomus said with a level of conviction and sincerity. It was worth a try, he thought. ============= Move to L22/23

Stock faces the oncoming orcs, smiling broadly. "Step right up..." His flail smacks down on the orc on the right. "...keep coming..." This time an orc catches his flail in the mouth. Pain on his left side draws Stock's attention that way and his last swing finds another target. He lets his gaze settle on one of the orcs in front of him. "Who's next?"

As Scar Face's falchion digs into his flesh Zander learns a new lesson. Never assume a foe is down just from looking at his wounds. He had failed to confirm the wounds had actually dropped the big orc after finishing his cleave. And his lowered defenses had opened the door for some negative reinforcement. But it took more than that to fell a paladin of Domi, not much more though. Stepping into the space vacated by Sid, Zander once again hits Scar Face. This time from the other direction as he moves to help his large dwarven companion. Barely holding his stance together he manages to continue on into the orc trying to avoid his blade. Touching his side his healing, while potent, barely touches the extent of his wounds. -------------- 5ft step to S22 Standard Action - Cleave Scar Face into Orc 13 - 29 hits Scar Face for 19 damage (he's got to be dead, right?

The fight is going better than Micah expected, but his allies are taking some serious wounds. He moves a bit closer to Lavinia, then calls upon Domi's power to provide healing, excluding the benefit from some of their foes by shear force of his will.

The massive leopard shakes it's jaws free of orc and looks up at Dorbin. Dorbin sees the mob coming down the stairs and points with one hand at the orcs. The leopard moves quickly, low across the ground and attacks again, launching at the new arrival, biting and clawing. As the leopard moves, Dorbin tries to slow the new group of orcs as well. He waves with his other hand, making another patch of grease appear. He calls to Bart, "They said the prisoner is upstairs." He continues in orcish, to those Bart is approaching, "This is not your battle to win!"

Distracted by eliminating the orc at her feet Lavinia misses the orc come down the stairs until the attack hits her. She cries out in pain. Sasha, upon hearing her ranger in danger immediately drops the bit of orc shes chewing on and leaps to her aid.
Lavinia winces but is bolstered by the arrival of her feline companion and the rush of healing and steels herself for a nasty fight. She swings her blades twice at the stair jumping orc.
========================================== Sasha bite = 11 (probably not a hit but) Damage =2 To trip = 13
Bartomus grabs his glaive, and moves to meet the new arrivals. Stopping out of range, he asks them to tell him where the girl is and then leave. The orcs don’t appear all that interested in parlay, though.
Sid finishes his climb, and pokes his head up to peak in the window, and finds both the window and his vision is entirely filled up with a very large ogre. Somehow, the ogre has not yet seen Sid, but there is no way the rogue is getting past it without being noticed Sid does notice a 15' x15' cage behind the ogre. There are also several other ogres in room. Numbers and locations are a bit fuzzy with Gigantor blocking his vision.
Stock kills Orc 7 AND Orc 8 AND Orc 13. The bodies are piling up. The giant dwarf fixes his gaze on Orc 10, and the blood drains from the orc’s face.
Zanderallen strikes Scarface again. At last, the big orc’s eyes lose their fury, and he slumps lifelessly to the ground.
Micah takes a step to ensure everyone is close enough, and then channels healing energy into the group. Everyone healed for 14 hp.
Dorbin’s leopard moves up and bites S2 Leopard can’t pounce because it can’t charge - no straight line shot to S2 as Lavinia is in the way. Since it can’t pounce it can’t use a full attack and only gets bite + grab. Dorbin casts another Grease spell (?) PC Sheet says he only prepares one 19, 20, and 21 fall. S3 remains upright.
Stohp yanks Orc 9’s falchion from his grasp, and advises the fellow to run away.
Sasha moves around the summoned leopard and bites at S2, but misses.

As the orc advanced, Bartomus swung his glave, but his grip slipped and the slash went wide opening himself to an attack by the advancing orc. The vile creature's blade bit into his shoulder. Bartomus bellowed and swung back at the orc. This time the glave bit into the orc's upper arm.

The leopard sees its chance to finish off the wounded orc and presses the attack, biting and clawing, jumping up on the creature with claws flashing around, trying to grab ahold of the creature with its teeth.
Dorbin looks around at the two groups of orcs and the two groups of shields and hopes that the lines hold because he doesn't want to fight these things hand to hand himself. He hopes the grease will continue to slow the one group down, but he reaches into a pocket and throws a bit of fine sand in the direction of the stairs to attempt to slow them a bit more.

Stock is too entranced to really register any of what is actually happening though so feeling pity or disgust at the pile of bodies will have to come later.
A blow lands on Stock's left arm, breaking the skin but not doing any lasting harm...to Stock at least. To the instigator of the blow however, Stock just catches a glimpse of terror in the orc's eyes before landing another resounding blow.
Sensing his companions crowding around him, Stock yells, "Spread out! I can hold this door!"

Sasha is in fury now, seeing the wounds upon her friend
Lavinia feels the blood run through her armour from her wounds but shes determined to end this. Hopefully one of her buddies has more healing up their sleeves.
========================================================= (If S2 alive these attacks are on him. If not on 22) Sasha bite = 19 Damage = 3 Trip = 22 Claws = 14 Damage = 5
(If S2 alive these attacks are on him. If not on 17) Lavinia to hit = 28 (Nat20 woot) Confirm crit = 11 (...) Damage = 8 (+4 if crit) Offhand = 18 Damage = 6
Bartomus strikes the orc, and again suggests surrendering.
Sid reaches up, grabs the startled ogre. With a quick flip, he tries flipping the creature out of the window. However, the ogre slams both meaty paws onto the walls, and refuses to go. Sid's momentum carries him backwards. The rogue manages to continue the flip so that he finishes his fall on his feet.
Dorbin’s leopard finishes off S2. The wizard then casts sleep. Orc 21 is unaffected. Dorbin is unsure of 17, because Lavinia slices him open at the same time.
Stock quickly dispatches orcs 9 and 10, and yells to his companions, "Spread out! I can hold this door!"
Micah charges the shaman but misses. Everybody loses that +2 to AC as Micah’s Magic Circle is out of range.
Zanderallen heals himself a bit, and heads for the stairs.
Stohp moves in behind Lavinia, and attempts to disarm Orc 17, but fails.
Sasha kills Orc 22
-- Orc Actions The shaman pulls out a battleaxe and attacks Micah, missing.
S1 calls out - Orc Highlight to display spoiler: {”Javelins”} and drinks down a potion. The other five orcs get in line and chuck javelins in the direction of Stock. None hit.
S3 attacks Zanderallen, missing. Orc 19 attacks Zanderallen, missing. Orc 20 moves around all the grease areas, and also attack Zanderallen. Also missing.
Orc 21 moves up and attacks Lavinia, missing.
The ogre leans out of the window, and throws a javelin at Sid, missing.
-- Enemy stats and info All orcs and ogres are evil.
S3 has taken 9 hp damage
OOC - So, about Sid and his derrring do
To throw the ogre out the window requies a grapple check to hit, followed by an attempt to Move the grappled opponent. As Sid doesn’t have the improved grapple feat, the grapple attempt would usually invite an AoO. However, the ogre doesn’t know Sid is there, so I’m ruling he can’t.
Sid made a successful grapple check (Standard Action) and then tried to Move the ogre out the window. The ogre gets a chance, with a +4 bonus, to break free, due to the hazardous location of his destination. The ogre rolls a 25 vs Sid's CMD of 16 to break the grapple. Sid is therefore standing in midair, and so falls. I used the acrobatics skill check to ignore the first 10 feet, and thus, no damage.

Sid lands with grace and ease and puts his hands on his hips, the javelin thumps on the ground next to him, and before it's stopped he's drawing Branwen, "I should've just stabbed him," Sid says as he aims, "but nooo, had to be cute didn't we," and fires, "now he knows we're here and we can't climb to them without them being able to get a good whack at us."

Stock senses rather than sees the rest of the Shields spread out only to see 5 javelins head his way. The miss is quite comical. "I can't believe I lost to any of you before! I mean I'm big as a barn and you ALL MISSED!" Stock takes a step forward and swings again. ======== 5 ft step southwest Power Attack against 1 hits AC 14 for 25 damage

Bartomus swung his glave at the orc in front of him with no success. He shook his head in frustration and recovered his swing.
Stock (JonM) HP: 58/66 AC: 16/10/14; CMB: 12; CMD: 24 Wednesday August 9th, 2017 10:59:39 PM Oops that was supposed to be a 10 ft move to right in front of 1and S1

Dorbin watches as the great cat quickly destroys another target. Seeing no other targets next to it, Dorbin makes a clicking noise, and gestures towards the other group of orcs. The great leopard quickly responds and pads silently over towards Dorbin, facing the orcs outside.
Dorbin hears and sees Sid moving around outside the door. He shifts slightly to clear the doorway and to hopefully hide behind Stock a bit from the javelins flying outside. He takes a quick glance into the office and then focuses on the orcs outside. He peeks around the edge of Stock and makes a throwing motion with his hand. A tiny green dart appears out of thin air and flies towards one of the orcs outside.
OOC: Leopard move to O21 preparing for charge/pounce next round. Dorbin - 5 foot step to Q18. Casting acid dart: Hit AC 18, 4 damage on orc 3,

Rebalancing as orc falchions skitter and bounce off his shield and plate mail, Zanderallen launches his counter attack slicing through two of the orcs in front of him. ------------------- Standard Action Cleave (-2 AC) - 24 to hit S3 for 13 damage -23 to hit Orc19 for 17 damage

Stohp moves down to support Zander against his three. She reaches out and disarms orc 20 (25 to disarm).
(Even if the ogre had rolled poorly I doubt the window is massive enough for it to fall out of XD)

As the next Orc falls Sasha leaps nimbly round the back of the next nearest foe, natural instincts guiding her way. But the grease has moved from its original point and her jaws find no purpose.
Lavinia takes advantage of her feline friends to continue her assault, calling out "They'll never listen Bart, Orcs are too dumb to seize life even when its on a platter"
=============================================== (I preferred my trip with rope idea, which is still an option)
Sasha moves behind 22 to flank with Lavinia Bite = 9 (Another nat 1 this place is clearly messing with her)
Lavinia 1st hit = 14 + 2 for flanking (I forgot) Damage = 6

Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Friday August 11th, 2017 11:31:46 AM
Dorbin pauses and watches his green dart fly through the air in slow motion as the leopard pauses, legs bent and muscles tensed...
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 Friday August 11th, 2017 2:48:53 PM
With this evil priest before him, Micah sees this as a more personal conflict than mere villains out to better themselves with no regards for who they harm. There is no doubt in his mind that Domi will prevail in this combat.
Sid fires an arrow back at the ogre, plunking him in the leg.
Stock steps over one pile of dead orcs, and starts working on a new pile. The dwarf’s flail reaches out and smashes Orc 1 to a pulp in one blow.
Bartomus with a swing and a miss.
Dorbin’s leopard moves around the fight to line up another target. Now its just a question of whether Stock will let it live long enough for the leopard to kill it.
Dorbin himself takes a quick look into the office (OOC – Perception roll please), and then fires an acid dart into Orc 3. The orc lets out a satisfactory hiss of pain.
Zanderallen wounds S3 deeply, and drops Orc 19.
Stohp reaches over, and disarms Orc 20.
Sasha moves around to flank, getting enough of the orc’s attention that Lavinia even with her die problems, is able to cut it down.
Micah strikes the Shaman.
-- Orc Actions
The shaman attacks Micah, and hits. Micah takes 6 hp damage.
All the orcs at the barn door close on Stock (no AoO) and attack. Orc 3 hits for 8 hp damage. S1 hits for 15 hp damage. Stock takes 23 hp damage.
S3 attacks Zanderallen, missing.
Orc 20 picks up his falchion, drawing an AoO from Zanderallen and Stock and Bartomus. Good luck, buddy.
At a barked command from deeper in the second floor, the ogre pulls a large wooden door across the window. It slams into place, followed by the sound of wood slamming into a metal bracket. Sid cannot see inside.
From above Stock, a similar sound is heard, as that opening is also sealed off.

Stohp notes the orc picking up his weapon and happily knocks it out of his hand again (She is armed with sap so gets AoO as well: 23 disarm). She also swipes at S3's weapon, trying to prevent either of them from continuing the fight (20 to disarm).

Sid sighs tries to climb up the wall and falls. Cursing loudly in dwarvish, "No look here! You can either leave peaceful-like, or I'm going to burn this mother down! THIS IS YOUR WARNING." Sid takes Branwen and shoots at 3 (which I believe I can see through the door).

Seeing only one orc in range, the leopard pounces through the air, claws and teeth flashing. It rips the orc into many pieces, flinging it to the left and the right.
Noticing that the grease has done its job, Dorbin waves a hand and dispels the grease piles.
OOC: Wow. Too bad someone bigger wasn't in line. Leopard pounces on orc 3 and makes him into tiny bits. All five attacks hit, damages: 7+7+7+8+7 = 36. Wow. (and move to O24).

AoO on Orc 20 - 24 to hit for 16 damage ------------------- Gladly taking advantage of the opening the orc gives him picking up his weapon Zanderallen lands a solid blow into it's body. Finishing his stroke Zander turns his blade and delivers a solid back swing. First into the other orc and then into whatever is left of of the poor orc going for his weapon. "The druid is upstairs with some ogres. Somebody help Stock and Micah, I'm going up for the girl."

"Can someone help me finish off this orc priest, so I can get back in range of everyone? he asks as he strongly lands a solid blow to his foe's ribs. He grimaces in determination when he feels some bones crack.

Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 38/48 AC: 21 T: 9 FF: 20 CMD: 19 Monday August 14th, 2017 8:29:43 PM
Zanderallen seemed detached as his blade cut through orc after orc. Some part of him lamented the loss of life even as his convictions of right and wrong drove him onward in the fight. Maybe some of them could have been spared but they wouldn't back down, and so eliminate them he must. To save the druid and stop whatever evil was going on here.
Stohp notes the orc picking up his weapon and happily knocks it out of his hand again. And that worked so well she does the same thing to S3.
Sid shouts a warning to the closed window above him, which draws no reply. The rogue then fires an arrow into the wounded Orc 3, finishing him off.
Deprived of its intended target, Dorbin’s leopard has to make so with pouncing on Orc 2, which he does, and shredding him to small pieces, which he also does.
Dorbin dispels both Grease spells, and suggests maybe people should stick together. Glancing about he notes that the treeline is still at the same place it was before, and Briadoc is trying (poorly) to hide under his desk.
Bartomus kills Orc 20.
Zanderallen finishes off S3. "The druid is upstairs with some ogres. Somebody help Stock and Micah, I'm going up for the girl," he instructs. The paladin heads for the stairs.
Stock destroys Orc 5, and takes a step back into the barn.
Lavinia, sensing that the battle down here is being handled well calls out. "The girl is a druid. The druid. The one that led me here. She's tied up come help me." And she runs upstairs quickly followed by Sasha.
Micah lands a blow that breaks the shaman’s ribs. The orc is on his last legs. The cleric also calls out that folks are too spread out.
-- Orc Actions
Much like the boss orc, the shaman plans to go down fighting. With a snarl, he steps into Micah (placing him just close enough to Stock, grabs his holy symbol and yells a curse. Negative energy slams into the cleric and the dwarf. Channel negative energy – Micah and Stock 10 hp damage. Will Save DC 12 halves
The last two orcs grimly move in on Stock (no AoO) and attack. S3 hits. Stock takes 18 hp damage.
Lavinia and Sasha arrive at the top of the stairs and are greeted by a drumbeat and a high pitched caterwauling. The, uh, singing and drumming are coming from an orc that is now inside the cage with Jella. Jella is still tied to the post.
Two ogres are also at the top of the stairs. Each carries a large greatclub. They attack. Ogre 2 hits Lavinia for 14 hp damage. Ogre 3 misses.
From across the stairs, Orc 23 hurls a javelin at her. It hits. Lavinia loses 8 hp damage.
Two more ogres and another orc stand ready.

Bartomus looks at his fellow taur and then runs to the base of the stairs. He looked up at the top of the stairs trying to understand what the wailing and drumming was all about. He began the sing son wired needed to bring healing to the woman hit by a javelin. ===== [I] not sure I can get any further

Stohp hears Micah's call and moves over to help. Knowing how pathetic she is when trying to hit things she instead tries to hold the Shaman still so that Micah can land the killing blow.

The leopard pauses only a moment before leaping into the air again and slashing into the orc (S1), ripping it to pieces with claws and sharp teeth. The leopard looks back at Dorbin, then vanishes into thin air.
Dorbin turns and fires another small dart at the shaman, but the dart flies wide and hits the wall.
OOC: Leopard pounce, hits AC 18 20 24 23 19, all hits! Damage: 7+8+6+6+6 = 33. I think Dorbin needs to just memorize this spell twice each day.
Even through the haze of his rage, Stock feels the weight of the blows hitting him. He takes a step back, grabbing one of the larger potions at the top of his pack and taking it down in one swig.

Micah is a bit surprised at how his call for help is answered, so much so that he nearly misses the advantage provided to him by grappling minotaur. However, he calls upon inner reserves and lands his his mace soundly the head of their foe.
If shaman drops, he takes a move action to get closer to the stairs (R21). If shaman still up, he five foot steps to U21.
======= Assuming orc is grappled, use hero point to add +4 to attack. Hit AC 14; damage 6 If not grappled, no hero point, no damage. Save 20 vs Channel: take 5 points damage Conditional move to R21 or U21
Sid rushes over to the base of the stairs, bow drawn. OOC – When moving on a diagonal, every two squares count as 15’. Sid needed 45’ to get to his current position.
Bartomus runs to the base of the stairs as well. By now, its getting fairly crowded down there.
Stohp moves over and grabs the shaman.
Dorbin’s leopard shreds yet another hapless victim, this time S1. The orc falls, as the leopard disappears.
Dorbin fires another small dart at the shaman, but the dart flies wide and hits the wall.
Stock breaks contact with the last orc, and drinks down a much needed healing potion.
Micah overcomes his surprise at Stohp’s appearance, and drops the shaman. The cleric starts moving toward the stairs.
Lavinia and Sasha scamper back down the stairs. OOC – DM Executive Decision to get them out of play, as leaving them subject to attack would probably have ended badly. Made liberal use of Withdraw action

Orc 4 backs up, and prepares to defend himself (AC is 17).
The drum beating continues, and the ogres pull back from the staircase. Those PCs at the base of the stairs cannot see any enemies from their line of sight.

"We don't have time I think," Sid says and walks up the stairs and as soon as he sees an ogre he fires. If Sid can see a spot besides the landing that he can get to to make way for everyone else he will, else he hops up on the bannister.

Dorbin sees the crowd at the bottom of the stairs and realizes this battle may not be as close to over as he thought. He looks outside at the remaining orc and yells out in orcish, "Go on, get lost!"
He then steps over to the door to the office and calls out, "Hold on, the battle still rages out here. You're safe for now."

Stohp holds back, moving closer to the stairs but back towards the wall. She's learned to let the tougher members go first and isn't eager to rush face-first into an ogre's blade.
As the warm feeling in Stock's throat fills his body, he feels rejuvenated. With just one target left in front of him, he charges, letting out another battle cry. He sees the eyes of the orc open wide as he brings the large two handed flail down upon the evil humanoid. The resulting sound and feeling reverberating through his weapon is both satisfying and sickening. So much so that his rage starts to fade.
He turns back to the building and can feel the sweat coating his brow and underneath his shirt. He is certain that at least a few of the injuries are still bleeding a little.
"What...what now? I was a little focused on these little guys."

Lavinia feels something break as the Ogre hits her, and shes unable to get out of the path of the javelin. Making a quick decision based on the fact she feels pretty damn woozy and something is clearly out of kilter she grabs onto Sasha and lets the panther carry her down the stairs.
"Two Ogres, and an Orc on drums. Have at them I need to patch myself up a bit"
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 d6=5 ; d6=6 ; d6=5 ; Wednesday August 16th, 2017 7:42:33 PM
Micah continues to move closer to the stairs then pauses to call upon healing power.
======= Move to N20 Channel energy for 16 (5 remaining) Note: anyone within 10' of Micah gets +2AC and saves
Sid climbs part way up the stairs. Catching sight of Ogre 2, he fires an arrow, which sticks in the beast’s leg. The rogue makes himself small to allow others to pass by.
However, no others pass by. Zanderallen pauses at the bottom of the stairs with Lavinia and Sasha. Stohp prepares to support.
Dorbin moves to the office door and calls in for Briadoc to sit tight. A weak, “ok” comes out from under the desk.
Micah moves closer, and then pauses to heal everyone except Sid for 16 hp.
Stock crushes the last orc on the ground floor.
-- Ogre Actions
The drum beating stops, but the singing, such as it is, continues.
The ogre Sid shot moves forward, blocking the entrance to the second floor, and attacks. His massive warclub slams into the rogue with a sickening crunchy sound. Sid hit for 17 hp damage.
Sid (Andrew) HP: 1/34; AC: 17/15/13; CMB: 2; CMD: 16) Wednesday August 16th, 2017 9:56:35 PM
Sid withdraws from the bannister and the ogre to I21, and thumps against Stohp and sags heavily. "Wardd's Teeth this is not my day." He looks around at everyone, "Sorry guys, I didn't think they'd attack! I thought he'd laugh at me and maybe put an 'x' down. I didn't know they hated paperwork so much." He leans back hard, blood seeping through his tunic.

As Sid is badly wounded and retreats Stohp pears up the steps and considers. With the Ogre's reach none of her companions can approach without being hit first. Her reach matches his, however, and he is the only one guarding the steps currently. She decides to risk moving in first, getting just within reach of the Ogre and attempting to disarm him (25 to disarm), clearing the way for her companions.

Bartomus watched Stohp take the stairs as Sid came crumbled back down. He followed behind his fellow taur with his glave swinging at the first target that he finds. =========== Attack - 22; damage 13
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Thursday August 17th, 2017 11:36:28 AM
Dorbin closes the door to the office as he calls out, "I'll come back for you, but wait for me!"
He turns and gestures towards the stairs for Stock, then heads over to the bottom of the stairs himself to join the crowd. If there is a push up the stairs, he wants to be in place to come up in the rear with some additional support.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 48/48 AC: 23 T: 11 FF: 22 CMD: 19 d20+10=11 ; Thursday August 17th, 2017 12:22:26 PM
Fully rejuvenated by Micah's healing and seeing Stoph get a good grab off on the ogres club Zander sees and opportunity and decides to take it. Dashing around past his large companion's legs he moves to directly engage the ogre. "I would tell you pick on somebody your own size but she just took your club so how's that going for you?', Zanderallen taunts as his blade unfortunately catches in the stair railing. Pulling it free he readies his defense for the inevitable counter attacks. --------------------------- Move Action - move past Stoph to I32 or where ever there is room between her and Ogre 2 since Stoph is using reach Will provoke if the ogre still has a weapon Standard Action - Attack Ogre 2 Nat 1 misses...

Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 Thursday August 17th, 2017 6:19:43 PM "Into the breach," mutters Micah as he follows the errant knight up the stairs and joins him at the front line. "Imagine meeting you here," he quips with a grim smile.

Full move action to I33 (first choice) or H32(if cannot fit in first choice).
Stock (JonM) HP: 50/56 AC: 17/11/16; CMB: 12; CMD: 24 d8+1=9 ; Thursday August 17th, 2017 7:20:09 PM
Stock looks up and sees the fight is not quite over yet. "Hey guys wait up!" He starts making his way over chugging a potion as he goes.
==== Move to M22-N23 Potion of cure light wounds for 9 hp
Sid retreats back down the stairs, and is starting to have second thoughts about the whole ‘Sign Here’ ploy.
Stohp moves around Sid and Lavinia, climbs the stairs, and disarms Ogre 2.
Bartomus follows Stohp.
Zanderallen squeezes past the two taurs, and attacks Ogre 2, but misses.
Dorbin closes the door to the office, and joins the gang at the bottom of the stairs.
Micah also squeezes around the taurs to join Zanderallen at the top of the stairs.
Stock starts moving over, pausing long enough to down a potion.
-- Second Floor
The second floor is entirely open, with the odd post extending floor to ceiling for support. In the center of the floor is a iron barred cage 15’x15’ square. Sitting with her back against a post in the middle of the cage, her hands bound around it behind her, and gagged, is a very tired looking girl (g) in leather armor. Standing behind her, an orc with a set of war drums (D) is doing the singing.
Outside of the cage are four ogres and two orcs.
-- Ogre Actions The drummer keeps singing, but also pulls out a scroll and makes a motion. A cloud of golden particles covers Zanderallen, Micah, and Stohp. Zanderallen, Micah, and Stohp Will Save DC 13 or become blinded.
Ogre 2 takes a step back, and picks up his club. Stohp gets an AoO.
Ogre 3 steps forward and slams Stohp with his greatclub. Stohp loses 21 hp damage.
Ogre 4 moves to the opening over Stohp’s head, and also attacks the taur. He misses.
Orc 23 throws a javelin at Stohp. It misses.

Lavinia is still pretty winded, but she doesn't want to leave the fight to just her new allies. She groans and rolls over slightly to look at Sasha.
"Sasha go help them. I'll sit here and patch myself a bit ok? Be careful"
Sasha stares at her for a second before licking the halfling on the forehead and bounding up the stairs. If she can find room she will make her way through and attack the nearest Ogre with a pounce.
====================== OOC: Is there anything I can do to heal myself with no spells or potions?
Sasha go! To hit = 24 Damage=4 To Trip = 24

Stohp had be intending to open the way then retreat so as to not leave herself open. Instead half the party crowds up the steps behind her and she takes a bad hit. Even if she forced her way past the party without crushing them under her 800 lbs, she'd leave herself open to more attacks.
Caught between an Ogre and a hard place, Stohp reaches for some inner reserve and deftly disarms all three Ogres. "Quit crowding behind me and move up before I get my skull caved in!" If her companions do as asked she'll try to fall back so that all three Ogres can't attack her.
(AoO 19 vs Ogre 2 Standerd action 28 vs Ogre 3 Hero point for bonus action, 24 vs Ogre 4, all to disarm
Readied move action to retreat as her companions move up. Not sure how it would work mechanically with so many who have to move first, but she wants to fall back at least 5 feet, or more preferably swapping places with Bart.)
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 27/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 d20+3=12 ; Friday August 18th, 2017 12:20:36 AM
Bartomus moved forward and tried changing places with Stohp as she staggered backwards from the ogre's smashing blow. He swung his glave at the Ogre at the top of the stairs. Yet the swing failed to bounced off the wall as he found himself jammed between his fellow shields.
Sid (Andrew) HP: 1/34; AC: 17/15/13; CMB: 2; CMD: 16) d20+8=9 ; Friday August 18th, 2017 2:25:30 AM
Sid notches an arrow and waits. If he sees an opening to fire at an Orc or an Ogre, he will, but especially since Stohp is stuck in traffic, he will wait to make a move when it is safer.
=================================
To Hit(If he can see an Orc/Ogre): Nat 1

Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 48/48 AC: 23 T: 11 FF: 22 (+3 vs. Ogre 3) CMD: 19 d20+11=16 ; d20+13=15 ; d8+15=19 ; d20+10=27 ; d8+10=14 ; Friday August 18th, 2017 9:50:15 AM
Someone in the back of Zander's head a little voice, that of reason which is why it's so quiet, is saying something to the effect of, 'This is a terrible idea, you're going to regret this in about 5 seconds. And it's going to hurt, probably alot.' Zanderallen however pays that voice little heed as he calls out, "Push up if you can, make room for everyone. We've got a whole room of ugly here." Shrugging off any ill effects of the orc's golden dust, easily with the protection of Micah's circle, Zander takes a quick step into the middle of the ogres. With two of them just within his reach he calls out once again for Domi's aid, focusing his righteous anger on the ogre that hit Stoph. Even as the Ogre bats aside his attack by sheer force of will he holds the blade on course rending through both ogres. --------------------------- - Will Save 16 vs blindness dust - 5 ft step to J33 to avoid AoOs - Swift Action Smite of Ogre 3 (+3 attack, +5 damge, +3 AC) - Standard Action Cleave Ogre 3 into Ogre 2 -2 AC(Counteracts Micah's Magic Circle) - 15 to hit Ogre 3 (Hero Point Used to give +4 after Roll) *19 to hit Ogre 3 for 19 damage - 27 to hit Ogre 2 for 14 damage

I'm going to post two potential actions because I can't tell if I can do what I want to do. ----------------- Preferred Option 1 if there is a window on the south side of the building, Stock climbs toward it similar to what Sid did except he is almost 9 ft tall and 1600 pounds Stock sees the jam up at the stairs and swings around outside again and begins climbing up to the window on the south side of the building, hoping that the wall doesn't get ripped off the side by his massive weight. Even if it does get ripped off, maybe it will distract some of those guys up there..., he thinks. =============== Climb 8 - Was -2 from fatigued and +1 from enlarged
Option 2 if there is no window on the south side ------------------ Stock does everything he can to get as close to the action as possible. "Come on guys. Let me through." Hearing the action coming from above, Stock's anxiety is rising but in his winded state, he can't do much more than push forward. He takes note of Lavinia's battered state as he passes and wonders how he can help... ============= Hard to see where everybody is ending up but Stock will do everything he can to get as far up the stairs as possible including double move to be in position to participate next round. If he can't double move, he will hand a potion of cure light wounds to Lavinia as he passes.
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 d20+10=28 ; Friday August 18th, 2017 1:36:54 PM "That will be a problem," thinks Micah as he closes his eyes to avoid being blinded.
He then responds with his own magic, casting Silence on the space above the drummer's head.
Having done that, he moves off of the stairs to make way his allies.
=========

Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Friday August 18th, 2017 4:48:46 PM

Lavinia (Carissa) HP:11/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Friday August 18th, 2017 9:27:20 PM
Lavinia groans her way over to crouch next to Sid, also drawing her bow and notching an arrow, preparing to fire at whatever ugly thing tries to head down the stairs.
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 17/38hp AC: 19/13/15 CMB: +8 CMD: 18 +2 vs grapple, disarm Sunday August 20th, 2017 9:10:27 AM
As she retreats Stohp reflects on how this always seems to happen when she gets up close in a fight. Maybe she should learn how to shoot a bow. At least she didn't actually go down this time.

Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Monday August 21st, 2017 11:05:55 AM
Dorbin glances to the side as the action continues on the stairs and wonders if it has gotten a little dark outside...
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 48/48 AC: 23 T: 11 FF: 22 (+3 vs. Ogre 3) CMD: 19 Monday August 21st, 2017 8:05:28 PM
Drawing back his blade, Zanderallen raises his shield watching the ogres as they ready their clubs. 'My ribs are going to regret this.', he thinks as they swing towards him. While the slow movements of the ogres made them easier to hit, it also gave way to much time to dread their attacks.
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 d20+4=5 ; Monday August 21st, 2017 9:01:49 PM
Having dealt with the percussionist, at least for the moment, Micah is ready to join the melee. Preparing to join Zanderallen in the fray, he takes a look at the room, especially windows and other means of entry into the upper level.
======
Rolled a perception check if needed to see the room. Will not do so, if it is an action.
Stohp, Micah, and Zanderallen all avert their eyes in time to avoid being blinded. They are covered in a glowing dust, but seem no worse for wear.
Stohp knocks the club out of Ogre 3’s hand, and then does the same thing to Ogre 4.
The two taurs do a little two-step jig on the stairs, and swap places. Bartomus misses with his glaive.
Sid looks for a shot, but between the bad angle and the waltzing minotaurs, he can’t find any targets.
Zanderallen says a little prayer, and wades into the ogres, slicing into both his opponents.
Stock recalls there is a window on the south side, but he also recalls the sound of some kind of door slamming across the opening at the beginning of the fight. Looking at the stairs, Sid and Lavinia are blocking the bottom, and the two minotaurs have the stairs themselves clogged up pretty tight. The giant dwarf has no good options.
Lavinia, Sasha, and Dorbin also wait.
Micah casts a spell, and suddenly the singing stops. The orc with the drums frowns deeply at this new development.
-- Ogre Actions
The drummer unlocks the door of the cage, steps out, motions Orc 24 into the cage, and then locks it again.
Orc 24 then draws his falchion, and fearfully watches the drummer.
Ogre 1 holds his position, warclub drawn.
Ogre 2 takes a step back, picks up his club, and attacks Zanderallen. He hits. Zanderallen takes 16 hp damage.
Ogre 3 does the same thing, and also hits. Zanderallen takes 19 hp damage.
Ogre 4 also picks up his club, and also attacks Zanderallen. Fortunately, he misses.
Orc 23 swings around Ogre 4, and draws his falchion.

Bartomus swung his glave again at the Ogre that had retrieved his club and swung widely at Zander. His glave missed. He couldn't find any room to move forward and at this point couldn't retreat.
Lavinia (Carissa) HP:11/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Monday August 21st, 2017 9:41:03 PM
(Did Sasha not get to attack then? I sent her up the stairs to attack Ogres)
Seeing the massive cluster of people at the top of the stairs Lavinia knows she going to have to get creative if she wants to help. Hmmm. She thinks for a moment and then remembers the giant beetle tied up nearby. Couldn't those things munch through wood with ease? Surely it could make its way through a building. Without another word she turns away from the bottom of the stairs and heads in the direction of the beetle.
Sasha will follow Lavinia's request and help out however she can with the attack on the second floor.
Sid (Andrew) HP: 1/34; AC: 17/15/13; CMB: 2; CMD: 16) d20+10=26 ; Monday August 21st, 2017 10:09:33 PM

Stohp, noting how Stock is stuck in the back, retreats further. He's on a roll today and she's to injured to help much without great risk.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Tuesday August 22nd, 2017 11:42:11 AM
Dorbin keeps watching the clogged up stairs, unsure of how to help out. Then he starts waving his hands and chanting, getting himself in a place to see as far as he can up the stairs.

Bolstering himself with his last lay on hands Zanderallen follows after the two ogres pushing further into the room. Cleaving once again his blade bites deep into ogre flesh, burning the first ogre with holy power. "Domi take you foul creatures!" ----------------------- Swift Action - Lay on Hands (0 remaining) - 7 healed (1s rerolled per woldian house rule) Move - 5 ft step to K34 Standard Action - Cleave Ogre 3 into Ogre 2 (-2 AC offset by Magic Circle) - 29 hits Ogre 3 for 21 damage - 19 hits Ogre 2 for 13 damage

Micah against calls upon the power of Domi, excluding the two ogres who are encountering another form of his god's power. If an ogre falls, Micah will move further into the room.

Bartomus again misses with his glaive. But he is able to take another step up.
Lavinia heads for the front door. Sasha squeezes past Stohp, and then leaps from the stairway to the floor above. She lands in front of a startled ogre.
Sid moves over to the dead shaman/mystic orc.
Stohp backs up some more to give Stock some room.
]Dorbin moves closer to the stairs, but still staying out of the way, and begins a spell.
Zanderallen continues to push into the ogres. His blade rips open Ogre 3, felling the beast. The sword continues into Ogre 2, who still stands, but is gravely wounded.
Micah channels healing energy, skipping the heavily wounded Ogre 2. Zanderallen and Bartomus are healed for 16hp.
Stock starts up the stairs.
-- Ogre Actions
Ogre 2 withdraws. Ogre 1 moves up. They squeeze past one another, and so neither has time to do anything else.
The drummer steps out of the Silence circle, and taps Ogre 2 with a wand. Some of the ogre’s severe wounds heal.
Ogre 4 attacks Zanderallen. His great club slams into the paladin. Zanderallen takes 18 hp damage.
Orc 23 steps in and attacks Zanderallen. He misses.

Bartomus took stock of where he was and where his colleagues were. He had to do something different. He leaned the glaive against his shoulder and quickly tried to remember the finger movements for producing flames. When he finished he flicked it towards the ogre that was attacking Zander, but the flame didn't go where he wanted it. ======= [ooc] Spell - produce flame - ranged attack role was a 1.

Micah contains to channel divine energy to his allies. Trying to break up this bottle neck, he drives forward, trusting on his armor and his god to protect him from fatal harm.
======== Whoa on the D6 already. Channel Energy for 11 (3 remaining) at original position, hoping to get some of the downstairs allies and excluding injured foes--I think Og2 is out of range. Moves to M35

Frustrated by his inability to get up the stairs quickly and trying to cover up the weariness he is feeling, Stock bellows his rage. "What's up there? Just a bunch of Ogres?! Just let me up and at them."
He pushes as far up the stairs as possible, switching hands with his flail and grabbing a javelin from his shoulder quiver and looking for a shot.
============= Still think I'm going to be stuck on the stairs. If I can get a clear throw at OG4: Thrown Javenlin Nat 20(!), 15 to confirm (Modifiers were +7 normally -1 for enlarged - 1 for fatigued - 4 for throwing into melee) Damage: 4 or 8 if the crit lands (Modifiers were +3 normally +1 for enlarged -1 for fatigued) Kind of anticlimactic crit, especially if I can't even get in position to see the ogre Sorry i missed the post yesterday, brain fart.

Dorbin points at a blank space at the top of the stairs and the air starts twisting and turning. A moment later a small air elemental appears and Dorbin yells out, "Attack!" The air elemental quickly slips across the space and slams into the Ogre.
Dorbin looks for a way up the stairs without getting in the way.

Getting in the by now familiar flow of feeling his body give way and then be bolstered back and forth between the blows of his foes and the channeling of his allies Zanderallen is fully in battle mode. His blade glowing with the holy energy of his divine bond and fully soaked in orc and ogre blood he looks around briefly. He spares a moment to yell a threat at the orc threatening the druid, unheard in the Silence spell, "You're next.", before stepping forward to take advantage of the ogre temporarily removed from his feet and make more room. -------------------------------- Move - 5 foot step to L35 Standard Action - Attack Ogre 4 - 17+4(prone)+2(flank)=23 hits for 15 damage AC +2 from Magic Circle (header updated)

Sasha rips out a chunk of Ogre 4’s ankle, tripping him. The cat adds a claw across the face for some extra damage.
Stohp takes a moment.
Sid rifles the dead shaman/mystic, looking for some help. He finds a couple scrolls. The rogue’s wandering eyes also take note of a promising looking case on the nearby body of Scarface.
Micah channels more healing energy. Zanderallen and Bartomus and Stock are healed for 13hp.
The cleric then cuts through the ongoing battle, allowing both Ogre 1 and Orc 23 to swing at him as he goes by. But the force is strong in that one, and they both miss.
Stock pushes his way up the stairs, squeezing Bartomus. Turning, he spies the prone Ogre 4 and gets the satisfaction of sticking him with a javelin.
]Dorbin finishes his spell, pointing to Stock’s backside. An Air Elemental appears, slides up the giant dwarf’s back, lands on the second floor, and attack the prone Ogre 4, hitting.
Zanderallen joins in the parade of sharp objects ripping into Ogre 4. The paladin steps over, and thrusts his blade into the monster’s heart, killing him.
-- Ogre Actions
The drummer says something to Ogre 2, who swings around the south side of the cage and pulls up into a ready stance.
The drummer then crosses through the effect of the Silence spell, and yells something. Language Giant Highlight to display spoiler: { "HOLD" } Apparently in response, Ogre 1 assumes a ready posture, but does not attack.
Raising his right arm high, the drummer yells in common “Parley! You attack, we kill elf. We kill elf, Wood kills us all. I want a deal.”
Orc 23, flanked by Micah and Zanderallen, reconsiders his current position, and scampers away to relative safety beside Ogre 2. Zanderallen and Micah may take an AoO, if they wish.
Orc 24 has a falchion at the elf woman’s back, ready to run her through. His eyes are locked on the drummer’s upraised arm.

"THURSDAY" POST
Micah takes the opening provided by the retreating orc, striking him a glancing, but painful, blow.
He then realizes something has changed and deduces from the actions of their foes the gist of the leading orc's unheard words. Hoping his action will not be taken as hostile, he dismisses the silence spell.
Hands upraised, he responds in common, "Repeat. I was in the effect of the spell and my allies coming up the stairs may not have heard what you said." The words 'coming up the stairs' are said much louder than the rest of his statement.
[Assuming he or someone else fills him in on the demands] Micah responds, "Make your proposal. However, understand that you are mistaken about the woods. We are not its enemy, you are. And it will not kill you." He hesitates to emphasize his next words. "It will absorb you."

Bartomus held his hands up and open with flames sitting in the palms. He watched the exchange between Micah and looked at the elf. He chuckled in affirmation when Micah said the wood would absorb the orcs. He smiled in a grim, cold manner. "It's alive, it would love to feed you all to the beetles just waiting out there."

Pulling his blade free of the ogre, Zanderallen hears the drummer orc's threat just in time to pull his hit on the retreating orc. Taking a deep breath to steady his voice he replies, "Killing the girl is not what any of us want. We're willing to be reasonable. Shredds is dead and Aurelius is imprisoned, this operation is over. We'll give you enough ointment to safely make it out of the woods and you leave here and never come back. How does that sound?"

Stock mutters, "Finally make it up stairs and all I get is to stick one of 'em in the leg with a javelin".
Rather than butt in now, he keeps his mouth shut for once.
Hearing what the two holy men are saying he leans in and whispers to them, "Don't forget to ask about who the real power behind this is..."
Then he very openly begins cleaning the gore from his flail, making sure to flick some of the larger bits in the general direction of the ogres.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Thursday August 24th, 2017 1:35:13 PM
Dorbin makes his way up the stairs in the sudden quiet as the battle pauses. He moves up by Micah so that he has a clear line of sight to the orc in the cage, but attempts to stay out of reach of the Ogres.
Lavinia (Carissa) HP:11/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Thursday August 24th, 2017 6:37:02 PM
Sasha makes a couple more swipes at the Ogre under her before noticing that all of her Ranger's allies have stopped attacking. She is confused but her commands were to help these people and if they've stopped she will too. She still remains where she is though, a low growl developing in the back of her throat.
Lavinia sprints out the door and heads towards where the beetle is kept. If the door is unlocked she will head straight in.
================== OOC: I guess this is what Sasha would do in this situation? Its very hard to make a judgement since Lavinia isn't around to advise her. Lavinia meanwhile has heard none of what the orc said.....
DM MikeK - Parley Thursday August 24th, 2017 8:28:39 PM Lavinia gets to the corral gate, and finds it is closed with a simple latch on the outside. She raises the latch, opens the gate, and walks into the corral. She gets her first good look at the creature inside. Six jointed legs hold a metallic green body about a yard off the ground. The body itself is about 10 ft diameter and about 5 ft thick. It's back is almost flat. It is eating several bales of grass that have been stacked in the corner. It either has not noticed the halfling, or it doesn’t care.
Sid grabs two scrolls and a sack of gold off the mystic, leaving bulkier items (breastplate, cloak, battleaxe, and javelins) for later. Turning to Scarface, he gives the body a quick going over, and finds two potions, a ring, a sack of gold pieces, and a red metal medallion emblazoned on both sides with symbol of a diamond. The orc also has bulky items – hide armor, falchion, javelins, and a short spear.
Micah slashes at the retreating orc, notices something is up, and drops the Silence spell.
The rest of the Shields make their way up the stairs. Sasha holds her ground, head low, back arched, and growling softly.
Micah responds to the drummer, "Make your proposal. However, understand that you are mistaken about the woods. We are not its enemy, you are. And it will not kill you." He hesitates to emphasize his next words. "It will absorb you."
Bartomus smiles in a grim, cold manner. "It's alive, it would love to feed you all to the beetles just waiting out there."
Zanderallen takes a deep breath to steady his voice and replies, "Killing the girl is not what any of us want. We're willing to be reasonable. Shredds is dead and Aurelius is imprisoned, this operation is over. We'll give you enough ointment to safely make it out of the woods and you leave here and never come back. How does that sound?"
The drummer gives Micah and Bartomus a look of disdain, and is about to argue with them. The names Zanderallen rattles off don’t appear to mean anything to him. But at Zanderallen’s proposal, the orc immediately replies.
“Yes. Give us…” There is a pause while the drummer scans his comrades and does some math. “…three vials. And we will leave.”

Dorbin isn't sure that it is a good idea to let these creatures free, but he knows he isn't so good at negotiations. He remains quiet as the small whirlwind he has summoned spins behind him.

Micah had to halt his hand from palming his forehead when Zanderallen blurted out like that, but upon hearing the drummer's reply, he stares in amazement at the holy warrior. Domi be praised, he exclaims under his breath.
Aloud he says, "You terms are nearly acceptable; hold on a moment." With this last he turns to his companions. After a moment's consideration, he asks the grappling minotaur, " Stohp, would you go check on the others and Briadoc? It appears things are stable here."
He returns back to the parley with his amendments, "As I said, your terms are nearly acceptable. Add to them that you will depart peacefully and desist from all hostilities until sunrise two days from now and tell us who sent you and for what purpose. Grant us these requests and we will grant yours.

Zanderallen keeps a sheepish look off his face as he senses Micah's disappointment and thinks over how he could have completely blown their negotiating strength by his unguarded words. Maybe he should leave the bargaining to wiser heads in the future. Wait and use his skills to back them up. Snapping out of his reflections he listens to the drummer's proposal. Rather than mess up anything else he is ready to move in and protect the druid once the orcs let him. ------------------------ Sense Motive 29

The ogres and orcs maintain their ready posture, as the drummer answers Micah.

"okay, let's clear a path for them. Zander, please lead them out and make sure they get their vials. "
He then steps to the south side of the cage, leaving a path open for them while getting closer to the pen without rushing the spokesman.

Stock wants to know about the weapons, but the drummer shakes his head. "We were going to get them at the end of our stay. They are not here." Sense Motive DC 12 Highlight to display spoiler: { He is sincere. }
Micah calls down for Sid, but the rogue has already come upstairs. Sid hands over the three vials. As the Shields make way, the drummer unlocks the cage, and the orcs and ogres follow Zanderallen down the stairs and out the front door.
Free of the barn, the group breaks into a jog, pausing near the edge of the farm only long enough to apply the lotion to their foreheads. Zanderallen watches as they pick the least active piece of woods, and scramble through it.
The Shields have the place to themselves. There is still a lady elf tied to the post, eyeing you warily. Additionally, there are a lot of bodies to look over, if one were so inclined. The watchful, protective presence is still felt, although the grimness seems to be dissipating, It seems to be waiting...
Stohp pokes her head into the office, and finds Briadoc is well aware of the fight. The halfling is in a fetal position under the desk, eyes clamped shut, and hands over his ears.
Lavinia tries to make nice with the gigantic beetle. It pays her no mind, and keeps eating.

He looks at the woman in the cage and realizes he can't quite fit in there to help her. "I'm assuming you are the druid. Well met. Consider this a rescue."

As others free the druid, he heads back downstairs to also check on Briadoc. He calls out, "I told you that you'd be fine in here. The fight is over now, you can come out."

Sid walks over to the elf lady and says in elven, "What a day am I right? Ok, I am going to cut you loose. I'm do it standing behind you at the post and you can freely exit the cage. We mean you no harm and are here to help. Sound good?"
Then Sid walks behind the post, pulls his dagger and carefully cuts her bindings.

Micah surveys the situation. Seeing that Sid is freeing the prisoner, he keeps an eye on the departing foes, then returns his attention to the interior of the building.
Being alarmed by the extent of the elf's wounds, he will attend to Sid with his wand, using it twice.
Waiting for an opportunity he calls out, "Anyone needing healing gather around." Once the injured folks, including possibly the druid are within range, he channels energy again.
Waiting to here from the druid he starts to form a mental check list "Gather any valuables. See that Briadoc is secure. Take care of these spores--that will free up the wagon. Deal with the beetle and this building. What else?"
Given the chance, he will share these thoughts with the others.

Bartomus followed the drummer, orcs and Ogres down the stairs as they left the caged elf. He watched as they cracked open the vials and then started off in their jog into the woods. He glanced over at the beetle pen and the woman near there, then walked towards the edge of the woods.
He concentrated and then began speaking in Druidic at the forest.
"The Drummer was the one who held the woman hostage and with one of the orcs held her captive at blade tip. The big ones were just muscle." Bartomus chuckled and also pictured the orcs that were in the upstairs with the drummer. He held their images and thanmade a point of trying to project those to the woods without any magic, just a simple thought. "We will leave and head back to the Float. You let us know if you want us to do anything about the buildings they forced upon you."
He heard Dorbin call out that it was safe and for something to come out. He arched an eyebrown as he came to where Dorbin was standing. "Don't know if I would call anything here safe, my friend."
He winked and looked about. "Well the sooner we can leave this place, the better for all of us."
Bartomus waited and looked at the woods, made an obvious bow, and then turned and headed back to the group.

Keeping watch on the edge of the clearing until he cannot hear or see the orcs and ogres Zander then returns to the building. Hearing the upstairs is in good order he moves to secure and reassure Briadoc. "Have no fear Briadoc, the fight is over. Although we will have to bring you with us. For no matter how naive you were about the uses of these plants, you did stand by and do nothing while the druid was kidnapped and held prisoner. I might be able to believe you were just as much as prisoner as she was if you aid us now. So think carefully on your next actions." While his tone is quite firm, Zander is trying to not sound aggressive or angry with the halfling, just disapproving.

DM MikeK - Recovery Tuesday August 29th, 2017 8:45:25 PM
-- Awards! - Everyone receives 1850 experience points and one hero point. --
Stock lets the druid know she’s rescued, and tries to figure out where Lavinia went, while also getting down to the serious looting.
The dwarf comes up with quite a haul. Added to the items Sid procured, the group finds:
7 vials of the yellowish lotion mwk hide armor (4), javelins (125), mwk shortspear, 1217 gp, Red Metal Medallion emblazoned on both sides with symbol of a diamond. breastplate, battleaxe, wooden holy symbol of Ga’al mwk spear (3) studded leather armor (22) falchion (25) large hide armor (2), greatclub (2)
There are also 6 potions, 2 scrolls, a ring, a cloak, and one falchion that radiates magic.
---
Dorbin and Zanderallen join Stohp in coaxing out Briadoc Greenstocking. The halfling creeps out from under the desk, and fearfully regards the trio. “What..what do you want to know?” he stammers.
Micah heals the rogue, and everyone else on the second floor. The cleric starts making up a mental To Do list.
Bartomus attempts to communicate with the woods, but gets no response.
Sid soothes the druid, and cuts her loose. The elfin woman rises, rubbing her wrists. Micah’s channel heals her ills, and she smiles gratefully at both men.
The woman takes a deep, cleansing sigh, and announces, “I’m OK, Daddy.”
Immediately, the pressure of that grim presence relents, morphing into a more peaceful, protective aura. This is the presence Lavinia felt traveling with Jella to Cutters. The effect on the Shields is like emerging from deep underwater, the lifting of a pressure so constant that everyone was actually becoming used to straining against it. Briadoc feels it as well, blinking and looking about in wonder.
Bartomus, and anyone else outside, will note that this change has absolutely no effect whatsoever on the Woods outside the barrier. It is still trying madly to get in.

Feeling an almost literal weight off her shoulders Lavinia realises something has happened, and probably something good. Giving up on her beetle recruitment plan she runs back inside and upstairs.
"Oh phew I see you managed to rescue her. Hello Jella, its nice to see you again." Sasha immediately lopes up to her ranger and shoves her head against her, demanding attention
"Yes, yes and hello to you ya big lump. Were you a good girl? Yeah of course you weren't" and she scratches the panther behind the ears.
Looking round at the group at large she sees the fearful looking halfling. "Oh hallo. Nice to be able to look someone in the eye for once, rather than the kneecaps. What're you doin' out here?"
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Tuesday August 29th, 2017 10:36:29 PM
Bartomus felt a shift. He stretched and shifted his neck. Something was different, noticeably different. He shrugged and took a deep breath. It felt better, if nothing else it felt better.
He mounted the stairs and worked back up to the second story room. The captive was free and was looking so much better than earlier. He watched the new addition to the group get head butted by her panter. No longer the killing machine he had seen earlier down below, the panther now seemed like a giant kitten in its actions.
"Zander, Micah, what's our plan to get out of this place? We can put things in here and set it all ablaze when we leave, or try some otherway of disposing of it I guess. But, not sure I want to be here all night." Bartomus said as he scanned the outside through the windows.

As the pressure lifts, Dorbin looks around. He smiles as the others take care of the halfling, then wanders over to the loot pile. He starts digging through the items, checking them carefully.
OOC: Attempt to identify items, as much as he has time for (spellcraft rolls): 6 potions (27, 14, 27, 26, 23, 20), 2 scrolls (20, 30), a ring (15), a cloak (21), and one falchion (27)

It takes him a moment to reconcile the change in pressure in his mind with their current circumstances. Realizing this druid is more than just a damsel in distress, he approaches her with more than mere courtesy, "Greetings, Ma'am. I am Micah Smith, priest of Domi, and member of the Silver Shields. We all are members of that group and are honored to be able to be of service to you. We still have some cleaning up to do and it occurs to me that you might have some additional insight in how to best restore the harm that has been wrought in this place."
As he speaks to her, he takes the opportunity to examine her condition more thoroughly to determine if further healing may be warranted.

Stohp looks down at the halfling seriously. "We have no intention of hurting you. Your work was more effective then you know. Someone used it to kill dozens in the float. We've been investigating and that led us here."
Sighing she looks towards the closed office door through which a fresh scene of carnage belies any peaceful message. "The one behind this is ruthless and powerful. We need to know everything you can tell us so we can stop this before more people die."

"See anything in there? Where'd your cat go when the fighting started anyway?" He looks around trying to spot Dorbin's familiar.

Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 39/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Wednesday August 30th, 2017 2:52:47 PM
A shudder moving up his spine as he feels the grim presence lighten, Zanderallen blinks several times. He hadn't even realized how tense he had become. Becoming more relaxed he notices Stohp's look at the carnage of the other room and then looks down at his own person, covered in that same carnage. "I think I hear them planning upstairs, maybe master Briadoc can add some helpful advice to that planning. I think we need to clean this place up, but I have a feeling that if the protection was removed from this clearing the forest would take care of that with a vengeance." Moving Briadoc to join the discussion upstairs, Zander finds a place to take a seat and rest a little. On a whim he takes to moment to scan Briadoc's heart for evil, in case he was some dastardly agent of destruction hiding in a naive halfling's frail frame.

Sid nods, and thinks, letting his mind wander through the stories he's heard of the Crying Wood and the float. There was something about a protector sacrificing himself. Hmmm.
Lavinia (Carissa) HP:11/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Wednesday August 30th, 2017 8:14:17 PM
Lavinia and Sasha are going to sit on the floor and Lavinia is going to attempt to patch herself up a bit. She turns to the rest of the group and asks.
"Hey, not to be a bother but does anyone have a healing potion? I lost mine during my first jaunt through the forests and haven't really picked any more up. And Jella do you mind telling me what happened? We suddenly just lost you in the forest. Did the Orcs capture you by Cutter?"
DM MikeK - Discoveries Wednesday August 30th, 2017 9:48:48 PM
Lavinia gives up on the beetle, and returns upstairs. She greets her friend Jella, and spends some bonding time with Sasha.
Bartomus also comes back upstairs, wondering how to clean up the Farm.
Zanderallen and Stohp lead Briadoc upstairs. Zanderallen is also concerned about the Farm, and Stohp would like some more answers from the halfling.
Micah, wondering if there is more to this druid that first thought, takes some pains to courteously introduce the group to her.
Sid also has an idea floating, and waits to reconcile them with Jella’s reaction.
For her part, Jella smiles warmly at Lavinia, “Hello, Lavinia. I certainly did not expect to see you here.” She turns to the others. “Thank you all for saving me. My name is Jella Jadenth, a druid of the Circle of the Alder, and most of the time Cutter’s resident expert on the Crying Wood.” She gives a deprecating smile at that. Cutter has a population of maybe three dozen people, so being the resident expert on anything wouldn’t be difficult.
Sid plus anyone else with Knowledge History DC20 Highlight to display spoiler: { The name Jadenth rings all kinds of historical bells. About a generation ago, a Floating City adventurer named Florin Jadenth sacrificed himself by “merging his soul with the heart of the Wood” to become protector of an elvish village. }
Jella continues. “I wouldn’t worry about this place. Once I leave, the Crying Woods will no longer be restrained. Within two days, it will obliterate any sign this farm ever existed.”
Briadoc blanches at Stohp’s questioning. “I, I’ve already told you all I know about him,” he responds. “Lord Crimson hired me to develop plant based extracts making the victim subject to mind control. I haven’t perfected the technique. Lord Crimson is human sized, but he wore a loose, crimson colored cloak with the hood pulled far over his head when we met, so I don’t know what he looks like. And he gave me this.” The halfling pulls out the now familiar red colored metal medallion, emblazoned with a diamond shape on both sides.
Dorbin and Stock, well mostly Dorbin, work on identifying the magic items.

Emily has emerged from wherever it is Emily emerges from. The cat spends magic item inspection time rubbing Stock's leg.
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Wednesday August 30th, 2017 10:18:08 PM
Bartomus watched the fearful halfling explain what little he knew about his employer. When he saw the colored medallion with the diamond, he got an idea.
"I think Briadoc, it might be best that you retire from this line of work and this region. The first step in such a new career would be to turn over that medallion to Micah and us Shields. Then when we get on the boat to the Float, you come along and take the next ship we can find for you that takes you very, very far away from the Float. Really far away."
Bartomus rubbed his chin. "But, before all of that. Where exactly did you first meet Lord Crimson and where did you make your crew drop off your creations?"
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 17/38hp AC: 19/13/15 CMB: +8 CMD: 18 +2 vs grapple, disarm Wednesday August 30th, 2017 10:50:21 PM
Stohp frowns at Bartomus. "Sailing off into the sunset never to be heard of again is a nice thought, but unrealistic. If we want to take Crimson down we need to bring a case against him. We can't just walk up to him and accuse him. We need evidence, witnesses. If Briadoc saw him, personally, and can identify him in a court of law then we can finally end this and his plots."
Stohp turns back to the Halfling. "I know you're frightened, but you tie everything together. With your help we can prove, beyond doubt, Crimson's connection to the trash level plague, Shredds, and many other crimes. Even if you did flee for your life Crimson can't afford to leave you as a loose end. You are in great danger now, and you're best hope is to come with us and let us protect you. We have proven ourselves repeatedly against his thugs."
Stock (JonM) HP: 56/56 AC: 17/11/16; CMB: 12; CMD: 24 d20+2=17 ; Thursday August 31st, 2017 10:44:12 AM Enlarged
Stock looks down and grunts. He attempts to grab Emily and put her on top of the horde of loot.
"So a few halfway decent items for us to bring back. I know what people say about dwarves but it is certainly not true that we focus too much on possessions and gems and gold and the like. I mean look at how Sid went and checked some of the bodies during the fight - and that guy's an elf. Nobody ever says that about elves."
He absentmindedly picks up the medallion, inspecting it.

Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Thursday August 31st, 2017 1:13:12 PM "Gotta disagree Stohp," Bartomus said while slowing shaking his head. "He said he never saw Crimson's face. So no way to identify who he is other than a big red robe. We take him back to the Float we become the biggest target ever. Yet, we take that there and I thought we had another, we might have a way to step closer to Crimson.
Bartomus pointed at the medallion as he spoke. "we take the medallion and go up float to say one of the less reputable dealers in estate jewelry. Show it about saying we have a couple of them that are identical, got from a friend estate. Seeing if we could get a sense of what they are worth so he fan pay off some family debts and such. Might be better to say a young lady with family debts. Who asked the Shields for help."
Bartomus paused and rubbed his chin then smiles. "Going all legal against someone who can afford diamonds as gifts, and the costs to do all this. They are going to have way too many resources in the Guard and the Courts."

Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 39/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Thursday August 31st, 2017 2:44:44 PM
Bowing to Jella Zanderallen introduces himself, "A pleasure to be of service to you Miss Jella. I'm Zanderallen, servant of Domi. Glad to hear you say the woods will reclaim this clearing, I was afraid of how it? they? might react if we put this place to the torch. We would be more than happy to escort you out of here, although maybe we should be the ones asking you to escort us out. Where would you like to go? Briadoc will come with us at least out of the woods. We'll need him to provide information about how this mind control stuff works to some of our alchemist friends so we can develop an antidote or preventative measure. Then we can decide the best means to keep him safe, either by sending him away or determining a safe house if we need him as a witness. I'd say let's get all the loot loaded into the wagon and maybe cover it up with those seed bags. Don't want to tip off Orsis, it's a long walk back." Not remembering the exact time frame of how long Orsis would hold the boat for them, Zander gets to work unloading the seeds from the wagon to way room for their liberated loot.
Seeing Zanderallen has the essentials covered, he proceeds to help load the wagon.
He does seek out Stock and offers to end the enlarge or let it continue for the little while it remains effective. His choice.

DM MikeK - Jella Jadenth Thursday August 31st, 2017 10:19:09 PM
Various Shields voice opinions regarding the fate of Briadoc, but it appears the halfling will be accompanying the group for the short term anyway. The halfling gives up the medallion, but doesn’t seem much convinced that the group can keep him from harm in the Float. He’s not in much of a position to argue about it, though, and goes wherever he’s told.
Zanderallen asks Jella where she is headed next, and Sid asks about her relation to Florin Jadenth.
“Florin Jadenth is, was, my father. Now he is Nemorlachria. He watches over me whenever I’m in the Crying Wood. I’m afraid I take advantage of him that way. I was recently in Cutter, helping bring supplies to the woodsmen there. On the way back, it was not the orcs, but I was hit with some kind of spell, I think. When I woke up, I was gagged and tied to the post. Daddy was very unhappy, but he had to stay or I would get hurt.”
The druid frowns. “Whoever this Crimson person is, he is very well informed. He knew that as long as I was here, his farm would be protected.”
“For now, I plan to go back to Cutter. You are all welcome to come with me there. Turtle boats make a supply trip every week. You would be able to catch one back to Floating City. Or I can escort you back to wherever you entered.”
Stock and Dorbin inspect the medallion. The dwarf finds it is just a dyed common metal, likely not worth more than a couple gold pieces. It is not a diamond, it just has the shape of a diamond etched into it.
Zanderallen and Micah begin loading the wagon with the looted equipment.
Lavinia (Carissa) HP:11/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Thursday August 31st, 2017 11:09:45 PM
Lavinia allows herself to be carried by her panther companion to the wagon where she flops dramatically onto a free space.
"Oh I'm not doing that again for a while. Remind me not to go up against things twice my size next time." She rolls over slightly to look at the party. "If there's gonna be a next time of course. I found this a whole load of fun if you'd have me again."
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Friday September 1st, 2017 1:47:07 AM
Bartomus shrugged and followed the others down the wagon and helped in transferring the load.
Stock (JonM) HP: 56/56 AC: 17/11/16; CMB: 12; CMD: 24 Friday September 1st, 2017 9:56:01 AM Enlarged Stock tosses the cheap medallion back down into the pile. "...piece of junk."
"Micah - Why don't you leave me enlarged for now. I'm thinking that I'll have to pull the wagon and being a bit larger will help."
While he waits for the others to be ready to move, he pulls out his block of wood and wood carving knife and begins to carve again. The block doesn't have much of a shape yet so he is mostly hacking away material. Doing all of this while enlarged requires a slightly different approach and he chuckles. "It's funny. When Micah made me big, all of my stuff grew to match. Including this block of wood here as long as I hold it. So I can carve as I would normally - more or less. But when the spell wears off, my carvings will shrink again and everything will look incredibly detailed....That's pretty wild."
With that he gets back down to work.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 39/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Friday September 1st, 2017 11:26:35 AM "Nemorlachawhat? Sorry to be rude, but it that like the head druid? I'm afraid I've never left the Float before. If it's not too much out of your way an escort back out along that path would be appreciated. I think it would be wise to nab Orsis, he's the captain of the boat that brought us here.", Zander explains to Jella and Lavinia, "He seemed like he might be more connected to other parts of Crimsons web."
Finishing up with the wagon loading Zanderallen blinks several times in surprise when Lavinia asks if she can stay with them. Even in the short time they'd worked together he'd already come to see her as part of the group. Had she really only joined up with them early today? He knew he was often the one quick to offer welcome, with the potential to throw caution to the wind, but he had fought and bled alongside this plucky halfling lass even if he only spoke for himself. "You've got my full welcome. You've got spirit Lavinia, I like that. And Sasha is pretty handy in a pinch, although she'll have to get along with Emily. She's got top feline by seniority."
"Briadoc, you didn't have any research papers or notes in your office did you? We should probably take any of the paperwork we find in there. Even logistical notes could point us to something."

"Pardon me everyone, but I seem to remember some locked drawers in Briadoc's study." Sid goes down to the study and attempts to open the drawers. He thinks he has a key from Briadoc and will try that first, after looking for traps.

As talk begins about returning to the boat and the load is shifted from the wagon, Dorbin pipes up, "Uh, guys? If our ship escort is expecting us to show up with a bunch of bags of stuff and we show up with a pile of loot, I'm not sure things are going to work out so well. I'm imagining that we're going to lose the loot and end up left on the pier with an angry woods behind us."
Meanwhile, Emily wanders over and rubs against Lavinia's foot.
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 17/38hp AC: 19/13/15 CMB: +8 CMD: 18 +2 vs grapple, disarm Friday September 1st, 2017 12:12:21 PM
Stohp thinks a moment about he offer for a ride on the turtles. "If the orcs made it out alive they probably made their way to the ship we used to get here. There's a chance it's gone, or that the crew knows we don't work for Shredd's and will be hostile. We should take the turtle back."

Micah considers the comments of all then tries to summarize what he think he heard, "It appears we have two options: go back the way we came or go by turtle.
The advantage of going the way we came is that we have a chance to obtain more information from Orsis. The disadvantage is he we will probably end up in another fight. I believe Orsis had a crew of eight with him. It is probable that we can overpower them, especially with surprise. We can get him to pick us up by covering the loot with the intended cargo, but i doubt we can carry it on board without raising suspicion. Problem is what do we do with Orsis after we overpower him? Will he stay neutral or turn back to his employers? I do not wish to kill him to prevent the latter.
Turtle is our safest option, but we miss the opportunity to interrogate Orsis. My inclination is that Orsis cannot tell us much more than Briadoc.
I propose we take the turtle."
He then pulls out his wand. "Probably prudent to heal up a bit more, since we are not yet out of harm's way. With this he heals up Lavinia and Stohp.

DM MikeK - Nemorlachria Saturday September 2nd, 2017 9:27:33 AM
Lavinia asks about maybe sticking around with the Silver Shields for awhile. Zanderallen speaks for the group when he says she is already considered one of them.
Sid recalls a locked desk drawer, and helps himself to Briadoc’s key. The rogue’s instincts are good. He finds a wand and another 350 gp.
Briadoc answers Zanderallen that yes, there are notes in his office. The halfling, escorted by Sid and Stohp, retrieves a large folder of papers.
Jella shakes her head in response to Zanderallen’s question. “Nemorlachria. No, he is not a druid. The people of Elvenguard live within the realm of the Crying Wood. They have achieved this because one of their own binds his or her soul with the spirit of Nemorlachria. That person’s physical body ceases to exist, and they spend the centuries as a spirit. One in eternal conflict with the evil we know as the Crying Woods. My father, and his comrades, journeyed to Elvengard to protect Prianna, the volunteer, as she made this transition. At the height of the binding process, they were attacked by a druidic order who called themselves Darkwood. Darkwood killed Prianna. My father took her place. Now I can feel him only when I journey into the Wood.”
While the wagon is loaded, discussion continues around whether to go back to the dock, or instead go to Cutter and a Turtle boat ride back to Float.

Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Saturday September 2nd, 2017 5:16:05 PM "Darkwood, you said Jella, now that would be something to do some snooping about when I get back to the float, assuming the turtles can carry us Taur." Bartomus said as he listened and moved things into the wagon. "How did this Darkwood identify themselves, MIss Jella, if you don't mind sharing. Realize they did you and yours harm."
Stock (JonM) HP: 56/56 AC: 17/11/16; CMB: 12; CMD: 24 Sunday September 3rd, 2017 10:49:56 PM
Stock wanders over to Lavinia and looks closely at her. "Here, take this. You don't look good." He hands her a potion of cure light wounds.
"I tried to ask before but maybe you missed it. Where did you go when you disappeared before the fight? You are lucky I didn't see that they had a halfling working for them. I would have thought that the two of you were working together the way you vanished right before we got here. Next time give us some warning..."
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 34/38hp AC: 19/13/15 CMB: +8 CMD: 18 +2 vs grapple, disarm Monday September 4th, 2017 9:39:35 AM
Stohp's already said her piece as to their destination so she helps load the cart with the loot. While doing so she tries to stay within sight of Briadoc to keep an eye on him. It's highly unlikely he'll run off solo into the woods, but she can't help but watch him just in case.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Monday September 4th, 2017 11:12:58 AM
As the stuff is loaded, Dorbin wanders over to Briadoc and his papers. He glances at them and says, "Anything magical in those notes? Or is all this natural and herbal?"
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 Monday September 4th, 2017 5:56:06 PM "Hearing no significant objections, let us go to the turtle," concludes Micah.
He then turns to the druid, "Ma'am, as soon as we are finished with our preparations, please lead the way."
Noticing that Stohp is keeping an eye on Briadoc, he catches her eye and nods encouragement.
He then turns his attention back to the wagon. "We need some of these spores for evaluation and possible development of an antidote, but this stuff it too dangerous to keep much of. Let us destroy everything but a couple of pounds." With this he begins to unload the hazardous cargo and take it outside for burning.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 39/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Monday September 4th, 2017 9:05:34 PM "Turtle it is. Let's get going."
Loading the last of the loot onto the wagon, Zander is ready to head out. He aids Micah in securing and destroying the insidious seed.

"Tastes rubbish but I feel so much better" she turns to Stock.
"Where did I go? Huh? Me and Sasha just snuck round the back to get a different view and we saw Jella tied up and rushed in to go help her. I was gonna try and sneak in with all the action but one of them saw me apparently." She shrugs, nonplussed. "Guess I can't sneak past them all. And what do you mean you thought I'd be working with him? Just cos we're both halflings doesn't mean I'd instantly be working with him. Sasha and I forge our own path. Of pain and stupidity it seems. But yes, next time I'll try to give some warning. "
DM MikeK - The Wood reclaimed Monday September 4th, 2017 9:44:26 PM
Lavinia and Stock discuss future tactics. Stohp takes it upon herself to prevent Briadoc from running off. The taur is correct in that he seems disinclined to go anywhere at the moment.
Micah and Zanderallen keep a pouch of the seed, and burn the rest.
The rest of the team finishes loading the wagon.
Jella answers Bartomus. “Well, I am not sure exactly. I was not there. I was told giant elementals attacked, announcing that they were Darkwood. Some of our Circle have been tracking them, but I asked to be left out of it until they found someone I could kill.”
The words are spoken in the same soft sing song voice, but still the emotion is evident. The woman pauses a second to recompose herself.
“There is an elf named Tionel who was a member of my father’s group, the Crimson Shields of Hope. He lives in Elvenguard, but sometimes visits. I can leave word for him if you like.”
“In the meantime…” Jella has spotted the beetle, and walks over to the nearby crops and cuts off a goodly hunk of vegetation. “Beetles live to eat,” she says, and she walks over and wave the leaves in front of the creature’s face. It eventually turns, and follows the druid out the gate. She walks along the road to the west, waving the leaves, and the enormous bug continues to follow. Arriving at the crops, the beetle pauses, lowers its head, and quickly devours what is in front of it. But it never stops walking. Having been pointed in a direction by Jella, it just keeps moving that way, consuming everything in front of it.
“Here we go,” Jella announces, and falls in behind the creature. The Shields find that even pulling the wagon, they can move at a leisurely pace.
As the group closes in on the wall of twisting vegetation, the plant’s movements cease, as if suppressed. The beetle enters the completely docile Woods, eating a ten foot wide path as he goes. The Shields and Jella follow, walking a pristine cut path, and accompanied by a sensation of protective gratitude.
After traveling about a hundred feet, the group hears a crash behind them. Turning around, they are witness to the Wood retaking the farm. The well-ordered crop rows are already gone, the plants growing into enormous leafy bushes only to be swept away by encroaching roots. The ground under the farm opens. The entire building drops nearly ten feet, only to be blasted into the air by a fully formed oak tree bursting out of the ground. The ground closes, and the oak stands majestically in a rapidly closing clearing, as the shards of boards and equipment fall like dust to the ground. The bodies of the orcs are simply consumed by flowers and thorns.
Jella watches with the Shields.
“And the Wood reclaims its own,” she whispers. Then she turns and follows the beetle.
Stock (JonM) HP: 56/56 AC: 17/11/16; CMB: 12; CMD: 24 Tuesday September 5th, 2017 10:39:25 AM "Glad I didn't trip on my way out here! Those plants are vicious."
Then after a short while, "We keep hearing about these Crimson Shields...Who are these guys? I feel like we've heard both good and bad about them, right? Or am I mixing up Lord Crimson and the Crimson Shields?'
Head down, Stock keeps pulling the wagon forward. He is relishing the labor and working his muscles.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Tuesday September 5th, 2017 11:23:25 AM
Dorbin audibly gasps as the woods engulf the clearing. He then moves up close to the wagon and the druid, staying away from the edges of the path. Emily sits on the top of the highest point of the wagon like a queen, taking a bath.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 39/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Tuesday September 5th, 2017 3:14:30 PM "We would greatly appreciate talking to Tionel. It seems whatever is going on in the float may be tied to something to do with the Crimson Shields. Maybe Lord Crimson was a member and turned to darkness." Joining in hauling the wagon along Zanderallen is amazed by how easily the druid and beetle turn impassable woods into a nice easy path. He is just thinking how much he would not want to get them angry with him in the woods when he hears a crash and jumps turning to see what caused it. He watches in horror as the forest reclaims it's own. "By all that is holy, these woods are terrifying. Jella, I am so glad you are here."

Within minutes, any trace of the farm has all but disappeared.
Micah makes sure Briadoc is watching, but didn’t need to worry. “Incredible,” the halfling whispers, mouth agape.
Jella leads the group away, and talk turns to the Crimson Shields, and Lord Crimson. Might they be the same? Or is Lord Crimson a former member gone bad? “The Crimson Shields do not go bad,” Jella states flatly. “Lord Crimson must be someone else.” Sense Motive DC15 Highlight to display spoiler: { She doesn’t know for certain, but is just a bit biased when it comes to her father’s group. }
In answer to Stock, she replies. “The Crimson Shields were adventurers, just like you. They became powerful and famous. After Daddy…passed on…some of them left. A few others joined with another band, and eventually became the Grey Dragons. They have since retired from adventuring, although Paragon Belkior remains active in the city. He sits on the High Council."
The journey continues for two days. Jella is able to keep the beetle on course. And that protective presence never wains. Briadoc has absolutely no interest in escaping.
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 d20+3=15 ; Tuesday September 5th, 2017 10:40:42 PM
Bartomus had followed the party deep in his own thoughts. He had watched the forest reclaim the outpost that Lord Crimson had sponsored. It was impressively frightening how quickly the forest wiped away the intrusion into its domain.
He found himself marching along and suddenly paying attention to Jella's discussion of the High Council. "Was there a follower of the Crimson Shields, some one who wanted to be part of them, that could be this Lord Crimson then?"
Bartomus continued to walk as he waited to see what others thought and was amazed at the amount the beetle ate.
Lavinia (Carissa) HP:19/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Tuesday September 5th, 2017 10:49:14 PM
Lavinia has a great interest in discussing the forest with Jella, comparing it to the Culverwood and asking her opinions on why it is so different. And does she know the reason it became so angry in the first place?
She also has questions about Mittiri, a god she has only heard of in passing through conversation with the druids of the Sacred Circle.
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 34/38hp AC: 19/13/15 CMB: +8 CMD: 18 +2 vs grapple, disarm Wednesday September 6th, 2017 5:56:32 AM
Stohp watches the rapid magical growth and destruction with interest. Sure she'd heard the stories and rather expected something like that, but it's another thing entirely to see it. Afterwards she stays quiet, lost in thought and enjoying the quiet walk.

Stock looks at Jella, tilts his head, and says, "I see...Belkior...sounds familiar...is Paragon his name or his title?"
Then later, "...now that's an interesting thought, Bartomus. Somebody whose jealousy over not being a Crimson Shield drove him to want to take part of their name..."
========== Sense Motive: 7
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Wednesday September 6th, 2017 11:47:36 AM
Dorbin walks with the others quietly, but watching his step. He figures with as much as that beetle is eating, he doesn't want to walk directly behind it. But he doesn't want to walk too close to the edges of the wood, either...
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 39/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 d20+11=16 ; Wednesday September 6th, 2017 5:12:05 PM
Catching Jella's bias towards her father's old adventuring group Zanderallen quickly apologizes, although he isn't so sure himself, "My apologies. I meant no ill towards the Crimson Shields, I was merely thinking aloud. It is more likely someone trying to stain their good name as some of my companions think." Letting Lavinia change the subject towards the forest, Zander walks along sometimes joining in the conversation and sometimes just focusing on his own thoughts. By the end of the second day he is ready to be getting out of the woods. He had been so focused on their mission he hadn't even thought how this was his first time out of the Float.
Sense Motive 16
Sid (Andrew) HP: 34/34; AC: 17/15/13; CMB: 2; CMD: 16) Wednesday September 6th, 2017 6:01:42 PM
"Jella, I bet you have tons of stories about the Crimson Shields. I've never been this close to a primary source before. I want to know everything! Every adventure!" Sid walks excitedly next to Jella and forgets the serious stuff.
Lavinia (Carissa) HP:19/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Wednesday September 6th, 2017 8:44:57 PM
Lavinia tries to keep an eye out for any creatures that might be living in the forest, though she seems to recall that pretty much nothing but plants lives here. She's glad she studied up on her plants before she arrived here
DM MikeK - Cutter Wednesday September 6th, 2017 9:13:53 PM
The Silver Shield continue their march, as questions and answers pass the time. Jella answers everyone as best she’s able.
To Stock - “Paragon is a title. Belkior is a very powerful priest of Alemi. They say just being near him makes you healthier.”
To Lavinia – “I think something hurt the Crying Wood. Something very bad happened a very long time ago. I can sometimes catch a sense of deep betrayal. I do not know what it means. But, it scarred this forest, scarred it very badly I think.”
She avoids further discussion around Lord Crimson and his possible origins, and is grateful for Sid’s eager quest for stories. “I can tell some of what I heard,” she replies. “I was not there, of course.” What follows is quite a bit of detail concerning her father’s last adventure. Crimson Shields – Bad Wood
However, all nice walks through malevolent, people killing plants must come to an end. And soon enough, the group emerges from the Wood in front of a small stream. The beetle turns back. The group continues over a simple but sturdy footbridge, and into a village of maybe a dozen homes. A few people are there, and react with shouts of happiness at the sight of Jella.
“Go find your Da!” one woman tells her son. The boy, and a couple companions, race off to spread the news. Within half an hour, the woodcutters have returned, and an impromptu celebration is underway. Kegs are tapped, and the barbeque is burning. It’s going to be a fine party.
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Wednesday September 6th, 2017 9:31:43 PM
Bartomus listened and noticed that Jella didn't answer his question and seemed to be of a manner that an answer was not forth coming. He made a mental note for researching the matter more when he returned to the Float.
When they crossed over the bridge, leaving the eating beetle for a much appreciated change in scenery - a foot bridge. "Civilization is near at hand," Bartomus said as they walked behind Jella into the village. Within a few short minutes, all was in motion, children and others about to be joined by men coming out of the woods with axes and other tools.
When the village began setting about a welcoming party for their favored druid, Bartomus offered to help where ever he could. "Please let me know where I can help out."
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 Wednesday September 6th, 2017 10:00:05 PM
Micah is quiet throughout most the journey.
The unexpected darkness off his first night not on the Float is a bit unnerving, but with prayer and deep breathing exercises he falls asleep after only a little disquiet.
Upon arrival at the village, he is careful to stay out of the way and responsive to any directions from Jella or the villagers. "Another victory meal it appears", he says quietly to Zanderallen. "I will take care to not get between you and the food."

Stock dips his waterskin in the stream and drinks long and deep. He is pleasantly surprised by the fact that the water is cooler than he was expecting. He is also famished. His raging before and being enlarged and breaking heads all combine to have him going back for seconds and thirds of everything before losing count. He finds a place where he can still appear social while not directly participating in any of the conversation, pulls out his block of wood and carving knife and begins to go to work.
After a short while however, he gives up. His weariness contributes to an inability to keep his hands as still as he would like. As a result, the wood is not taking shape as he would like and he stops before going to far with the project. ========== Craft Carpentry 6 - He needs 3 more rolls above 15 to be done with his carving
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Thursday September 7th, 2017 11:20:33 AM
When Dorbin smells the food he realizes that he was quite hungry. As it cooks, he stands close by, hoping to get a taste, perhaps before it is ready. He doesn't know a lot about cooking on an open fire, so he does ask quite a few questions of the cook regarding the fire, the meat, the preparation of the meat, how they know how long to cook it, and other such questions. When it is ready, he starts eating quite a bit more than someone of his size should be able to eat.
Sid (Andrew) HP: 34/34; AC: 17/15/13; CMB: 2; CMD: 16) Thursday September 7th, 2017 1:56:51 PM
Sid loves the story and when they get to the village and the wood cutters are there he checks on the people who where supplying the Split Arrow with wood and makes sure everyone is ok, since orcs and such were in the area.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 48/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Thursday September 7th, 2017 3:22:09 PM
Zanderallen almost visibly relaxes as they enter the village, releasing a tension he has been holding since they entered the woods. His heart warms as he sees the village welcome Jella back, glad to return their protector to them. When he sees the food and drink being prepared a grin lights up his face, temporary feigning a hurt expression at Micah. "I might dig in but at least I have table manners. I've heard your family dine, it's hard to tell you've left the forges from all the banging you make." Zander laughs at his gibe, although most of his happiness comes from being back among buildings rather than any particular wit of his own.
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 Thursday September 7th, 2017 9:18:39 PM
Micah smiles at Zanderallen's joke. Not because it is funny--or accurate, but because it is good to not be immediately in danger.
DM MikeK - Turtle Boat Thursday September 7th, 2017 10:26:58 PM
Bartomus offers to help, and is immediately put to work with a small team attempting to erect a large canopy tent. The taur's size comes in very handy, and the task is finished in no time.
Dorbin commences to harass, sorry, make that pester, sorry again, make that question the head cook. Fortunately, the man is more than happy to elucidate upon the art of fire pit cooking, and jabbers away as he prepares the feast.
Sid finds Randolph, the woodcutter supplying the Broken Arrow to be alive and well, and quite safe. The supplier relays that Jella was needed to help guide each wood harvest through the last strip of the Crying Wood and into the Lake. The druid had some kind of business in the Float, so the crew missed their scheduled shipment. Which would have been fine, except then Jella went missing, and well, Sid knows the rest. OOC - DM owes Sid and company one story. I'll put it together over the weekend.
The feast gets underway. All the villagers want to know what happened, and a complete description of the adventure. Jella demures, giving the same story she gave you. She was in the Wood, and then she woke up tied to a post, and then the Silver Shields rescued her.
Sensing a better story is at hand, the villagers turn to the Shields to hear the tale.
After storytime, a few pipes and a lute make an appearance. The musicians are passable, especially if one has imbibed an ale or three, and music, laughter, and dancing fill the night.
Woodcutters are a hardy bunch, and come daylight, most all of them are up and ready for work. Cut logs are rolled into the stream, and guided down it with long polearms. The stream enters the Crying Wood, and Jella is there, striding side by side with the woodcutters. Again, the protective presence is there. And again, the Crying Wood is suppressed.
After a short way - less than a mile - the stream empties into the lake. The woodsmen hop from floating log to floating log, expertly lashing together large, temporary rafts.
Also near the shore is a famous Turtle Boat. The gigantic turtle, whose shell is big enough to hold its current driver and all of the Silver Shields AND their wagon of loot, waits placidly. "Who's going back?" the driver calls. "They are," Jella calls back.
The druid turns to the Shields. "Thank you for saving me. I do not think I ever told you that. Thank you"
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Friday September 8th, 2017 1:08:23 AM "Thank you for ensuring we had safe passage and a Turtle no less,"Bartomus said and made a slight nod towards Jella. "Giant beetles, an angry wood, and turtle boats, who would have thought of it."
He takes a few steps towards the turtle and waited for the other shields.
Stock (JonM) HP: 56/56 AC: 20/14/17; CMB: 8; CMD: 21 Friday September 8th, 2017 10:35:03 AM
Before boarding the turtle boat, Stock turns to Jella. "You stay safe. These people need you...and I'll be surprised if we don't need you again in the future. Keep in touch. You know where to find us if you need to find us."
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 48/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Friday September 8th, 2017 11:25:51 AM
Zanderallen enjoys the meal, music, and rest, thanking the woodcutters for their hospitality, and letting them know that if something should happen again to send them a message at their headquarters. He then pulls Jella aside, "I don't know if you know already but I feel like you should. The orcs and whoever was sponsoring them were using some sort of ointment to pass through the Crying Wood unharmed. We took it all except what we had to trade to the orcs for your freedom. I don't know who other than Briadoc may know how to make it or how it works. Hopefully we won't have need of it but Crimson seems intent on using the Crying woods and we may have to stop some plan of his again. Just thought you should know. Thank you for your assistance in getting out of the woods. Stay safe." Answering any other questions Jella has Zander then pushes the wagon onto the turtle, ready to get home.
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Friday September 8th, 2017 11:55:24 AM
Dorbin, feeling he has made a new friend of the cook, stays with the cook for most of the celebration, hoping to learn more about cooking, hunting, and processing food.
In the morning, he heads with the others down the stream, but he walks cautiously, still not sure about the woods, despite the suppression of its anger. When they arrive at the turtle boat, instead of climbing on board, he walks around the edges of it, checking out the turtle itself. He is very curious about the actual turtle and the fact that is it being used as a boat.
Sid (Andrew) HP: 34/34; AC: 17/15/13; CMB: 2; CMD: 16) Friday September 8th, 2017 12:27:14 PM
Sid bows to Jella, "It was an honor. I hope we'll be able to come back sometime." With that he calls back to Randolph, "I'll by you a round after you drop off our shipment at the Arrow," climbs on board the turtle.
Micah (John) HP: 46/46 AC: 23/12/23 CMD:17 Friday September 8th, 2017 1:47:32 PM
Micah's smile is deep and broad as they make goodbye's. To Jella he adds, "As Sid has said, it has been an honor. Farewell and do not hesitate to get word to us should more trouble arise or even threaten. And should you ever be on the Float, look up the Silver Shields." He then takes her aside privately and adds, "I do not wish to cause you further discomfort, but the coincidence in the name of foe and your father's colleagues should be readily discounted. Should something occur to you, please let us know."
As they step on the boat, he gives a nod and wave of farewell to the druid and the villagers.
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 34/38hp AC: 19/13/15 CMB: +8 CMD: 18 +2 vs grapple, disarm Friday September 8th, 2017 5:42:48 PM

Lavinia (Carissa) HP:19/45 AC:20/16/15 CMB:5 CMD:20 Sasha HP:21/21 AC:19 Friday September 8th, 2017 10:41:39 PM
Lavinia had a whale of a time at the party. All her aches and pains washed away with the application of some strong alchohol and bad dancing. Shes sad to leave the village of Cutter behind, but alas, adventure awaits.
She bids a fond farewell to Jella before they leave. "Hey I'm glad everything turned out well. This forest seems to have had enough heartache without adding anything else to it. I'm gonna head back with these folk and see if we can get to the bottom of this whole mystery. But Sasha and I are grateful for your guidance and knowledge. And who knows maybe we'll be back soon."
Lavinia stops and thinks for a second. "Hey maybe see about getting yourself a companion in case anyone else tries to snatch you up. Gods know where I'd be without this little lady." Lavinia scratches the panther behind one ear with a grin.
Bidding farewell to Jella and the rest of Cutter she heads to the boat.
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Friday September 8th, 2017 11:24:14 PM "We get to ride a turtle, an honest to goodness turtle," Bartomus said with a bit of giddiness that seemed more like a excited child. "Have seen the shells of smaller ones, but never something like this."
The Taur walked forward on the boat and was grinning as he looked at everything.

Bartomus(Rod) HP: 34/34 AC: 13 (11+2); Perc+7;Heal+8 Sunday September 10th, 2017 7:24:07 PM "Come on Stohp, we get to ride, ride - this," Bartomus said with flourish and through his arms wide. "It's perfect for folk like us, we got to figure out how to have access to this in the future if we have to leave the float."
Bartomus' enthusiasm was evident as he tried to excite his fellow taur. "Wonder if we can ride up front and see this glide through the water."
Stock (JonM) HP: 56/56 AC: 20/14/17; CMB: 8; CMD: 21 d20+5=18 ; Monday September 11th, 2017 11:09:34 AM
Stock settles into a seat on the boat and unloads his gear. He immediately hops up again.
"Hold on a minute..."
He jumps off the boat and rummages around on shore for a moment, eventually finding a small stone and putting it in a pouch at his waist. "Can't forget a souvenir!"
He sits down again and removes his carving knife and sharpening whetstone. After putting a good edge on his knife, he gets back to carving his block of wood. After a while, his shoulders relax a bit as his work begins to take shape. It is still pretty rough but Stock seems satisfied. All that is recognizable is a slender cylinder sticking out in one direction with a fatter chunk of wood opposite the cylinder that has yet to be touched by the carving knife.
-------- "Craft Carpentry 18 - 2 more rolls for his carving to be complete."
Dorbin (JeffO) [AC:13/13/10 HP:35/35 CMD:14] Monday September 11th, 2017 12:10:41 PM
Dorbin spends more time examining the turtle and the boat. When he heard it mentioned, he thought it would be a slow boat that was shaped a little like a turtle. He is interested in the construction of the part that sits on the turtle and how it connects to the turtle (and how it doesn't fall off). He looks it over from the land, walks a little into the water, then all over as he boards the ship with the others. He then pulls out a pile of papers and writes some notes on them about the turtle ship.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) HP: 48/48 AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 24 CMD: 19 Monday September 11th, 2017 1:41:39 PM
Getting up on the turtle, Zander is amazed at the room on top of the shell. Big wagon, two tuars, and a handful of humanoids, with room to spare. He wonders who old the turtle is to be this big, and how much did it eat? He didn't want to see that bill.
