The Meteorite.


Sewer Rescue (DM Cayzle) 
Monday January 15th, 2018 9:00:58 PM


Hmerrin accepts the reward ... and still has a bad feeling about this.

Gaffer senses something wrong ... unprecedentedly wrong ... and the details elude him for now ...

Ethani binds wounds and makes sure that no disease takes root in those bites.

Lornak seeks his bird -- who does come to him, visibly trembling and afraid.

Dušan offers healing to Hmerrin (please mark the spell and the curing).

Toston speaks with animals and can only learn that they are just about out of their minds with fear.

Asteria is distrustful. Of something!

The Tide escorts the dwarf kids back to the Temple of Wardd. And they find it to be very very quiet there.

In the wake of all the animal activity suddenly things get eerily quiet, so quiet in fact that you could hear a pin drop if you were so inclined. It doesn’t last long. All of a sudden there comes a horrendous crash and things sound as if the Wold is tearing itself apart. The sound is so loud that you can’t quite pinpoint where it is coming from and if you were hard pressed to guess you would have to say everywhere but you aren’t quite sure how that is possible but suffice it to say it is that LOUD.

Eventually the racket subsides and you hope for a second that maybe whatever that was signified the end of all the troubles happening of late. If only things were so fortunate because not even a full moment after the thundering noise ceases does the ground start trembling again...could it be ANOTHER earthquake?
But no -- this activity feels different -- as if it is in reaction to something major and not the main event itself. Is the Wold really being split apart? Have the Woldians done something to anger the Gods? Who knows?

The Temple of Wardd rocks back and forth like a ship tossed about in a tempestuous sea. Bits of rock, dust and other debris start to fall from the ceiling. Through the main doors, you see cracks in the ground along the roads and thoroughfares. An unattended cart tumbles down one of the chasms that have opened up and after a short amount of time you hear the impact of wood on rock and you think luckily there wasn’t a horse attached to it.

But unlike the last earthquake, this is short-lived. As quickly as the concussive sound and the tremors started, the Wold-shaking terminates. You see folk stumbling about. Some look stunned, others panicked. This was easily the loudest sound ever heard in the Wold.

You hear cries of frustration and despair -- the repair work so recently begun ... so much of it is wrecked again!

Please make a Fort save vs DC20. If you fail, you are deafened.

"There there, Vin." Lornak says trying to calm her after she lands on his outstretched forearm. "I am glad to see you unharmed." He gently strokes the back of her head. "Clearly you are spooked still. What is coming?" Lornak looks to the horizon. He gives her a morsel and says; "Back home with you. I promise we will go out and hunt soon." He launches her back into the sky and watches as she heads toward Shale House.

Once inside temple Waard he comments about what he has learn; "Vin is clearly shaken. Something is coming." Not so soon after has says this he feels the rumble in the ground that precedes the loudest sound he has ever heard. He fights to keep his equilibrium as the crack whips through the air. (Fort Save d20=24) His jaw clenches and his eyebrows furrow as the force of the sound pressures to burst his eardrums. The structure around him bears the brunt of it he supposes as he does his best to cover any unattended children from falling stonework with his body. He is at a lose. "How do we face what is cracking the World?" His says, words drowned in the roar.

Dušan reflexively puts his hands to ears as he shaken to his core by the thunderous calamity. When he takes his hands down, he sees Lornak's mouth moving, but he can't hear what he is saying (Fort Save d20=14). "What!?"

(Fort Save 14)

The tremendous sound was just too much for Toston's sensitive gnome ears and he reflexively puts his hands up to his ears and just looks at the other members of the Tide hoping one of them gets the message.

(Fort Save: 14) Gaffer claps his hands to his ears with a shout, unable to even hear himself over the deafening noise. He scrunches his eyes in pain and opens them just in time to see everything around him shake. He considers moving towards others but nearly falls as soon as he does and instead just lets it pass.

Once thinks calm down he moves towards the rescued children and tries to ensure they are ok, calming them as much as he can but struggling to understand anything they say with mere lipreading. He is completely unaware of any conversation happening between the tide.

Hmerrin(HP:52/67 AC:24 T:15 FF:20 CMD:24)  d20+8=12 ;
Tuesday January 16th, 2018 6:51:42 PM

The animals go silent. Everything goes silent.

Hmerrin self consciously shivers at the unnaturalness of the effect. And then,
WHAM
A physical wall of sound drives the young man to his knees, his cry joining a cacophony that he no longer can hear.

The accompanying quake drives him to the floor, where he curls up, hands over his ears and eyes squeezed shut.

"No more. No more. No more. No more"

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42,)  d20+6=12 ;
Tuesday January 16th, 2018 8:12:39 PM

Cowering from the sound, Ethani attempts in vain to cover her ears. "WHAT?!" she calls out, but she can't hear a thing.

"Oh my goodness.. what's going on!" Wil said as April.
"The Wold is ending.. can't you tell," argued Cicero
Wil was completely engaged in an argument with himself and the characters in his head. He thought to himself, it would be so nice to be deaf from these voices but he was not effected by the blast of noise.
"Stop," Wil said. "I can't do a thing about this. What do we do? Ever heard of post traumatic stress disorder, I believe eighty percent of these poor resident will never recover."

Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:31/33; AC:17; Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} 
Tuesday January 16th, 2018 9:17:57 PM

Dušan spends a little more time digging the wax out of ears to see if that helps.

Lornak (Frank S.) HP:60/60 AC: 19(T:13/FF:10) CMD:19 
Tuesday January 16th, 2018 9:39:30 PM

As the sound finally dies down Lornak has a nasty ringing left in his ears. Thankfully the structure held. He hopes Shale House fared just as well.

Disaster Falls (DM Cayzle) 
Tuesday January 16th, 2018 11:16:33 PM

Lornak calms Vin and takes her outside to send her to Shale House. He is actually standing outside when the SOUND occurs! The Wold shakes, but Lornak is not deafened.

The SOUND resonates through the Temple, and Dušan, Toston, Gaffer, Hmerrin, and Ethani are al deafened!

Asteria resists the consentrated sound through sheer cussedness, and Wilford ... well, let's just say that strange noises in his head are something he is used to tolerating!

Fortunately, as in any fine casino, there are no windows in the Temple of Wardd. Lornak, outside, sees that every window in sight is shattered.

In the minutes that follow, Lornak, Asteria, and Wilford hear high pithed whines and booms in the distance. Lornak (and the one-in-twenty people of Dirt City who were not deafened) hears these sounds overhead, and he sees that there are THINGS falling through the sky! Wow! Brilliant sparkling colors trailed by fiery tails!

Lornak and those outside only, if you make a Perception DC15 check, please Highlight to display spoiler: {They are falling stars, or maybe falling stones!}

If you ALSO make a Know Nature check vs DC12, then please Highlight to display spoiler: {You have heard of meteors and meteorites. Maybe these are those?}

If you are outside and make a further DC20 perception check, please Highlight to display spoiler: {You see a near and huge stone, shaped like a gem, that flies low and seems headed for the area just north of Dirt City!}

A minute later you all hear another sound, not as loud but still loud, to the north!

Father Chjarom, the seer, cries out! He feels that same sense of dread.

Asteria notices the sound. "Huh...that was weird." Then everybody starts acting like they can't here. Which is weird too. After all, Asteria can't help but hear everyone who is practically shouting now. "Haha...funny guys. Yup, that was a funny joke. Now can we get out there and find some people to help or something? I'm getting bored."

Wednesday January 17th, 2018 3:28:54 PM

Dušan had followed Lornak outside earlier, but his deafness leaves him distracted as he observes the glittering mess fall silently to the ground. He looks at his hands wishing his restorative touch would allow him to cure this deadness, but resigns himself that this is hopefully something that will pass on its own.

Wednesday January 17th, 2018 4:45:41 PM

Lornak cannot believe that he weathers the ear piercing sounds with ease as he witnesses all of the windows in eyesight shatter into a thousand pieces. The glass shards reflected light fills the air around him and they shimmer and sparkle. It is dazzling really. The shards fall to the ground but as they do he notices that some in the higher sky continue to sparkle. "Stones falling from the sky...?" He opines. (Persp d20=20)

The fiery falling rocks are accompanied by high pitched whines and booms as pieces of them split and explode from the main masses. "I've heard tales of satellites falling from the sky but never dreamed I would witness such a display..." She says, awed. "...it is brilliant..."(Knowledge, Nature d20=26)

"If my memory serves they are called, meteor...," He pauses to think, but quickly so as to not avert his eyes from the heavens. "...meteorites...?" The meteorites pass over his head and out of sight. There is a moment of silence. It is broken by another massive boom to the north similar to the one that just rocked Dirt City only further off. "Did something like that just fall on top of us? I fear for anyone near the impact zones. Absolutely awesome..."

Gaffer (Courtney) HP: 61/61 AC:21 (!T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 
Wednesday January 17th, 2018 6:57:05 PM

Gaffer follows the others outside as the second loud noise quakes outwards. His thoughts turn to culverwood to their north. Wondering if recent events have affected those of his circle and hoping it hasn't spread that far.

For a moment he feels torn, wishing he could rush off to check on his old companions, but looking around himself to see the destruction and the injured. He moves to the others to find out what they are doing next.

Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:43/45; AC:22 Touch 20; FF 18 - CMD 23 
Wednesday January 17th, 2018 7:56:03 PM

Toston remained inside but given the fact that the deafness only lasted for 3 rounds and a minute later there is another crash not as loud as the previous one Toston actually hears that.

He asks the father, "What is it now?"

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42,) 
Wednesday January 17th, 2018 8:59:42 PM

Turning her head from side to side, Ethani sighs when she can't hear anything. Feeling quite off her game, she waits for Lornak's return.

OOC: I thought we were still deafend

"Ok earthquakes... check. Meteorites... check. ummm.. Where are the monsters!
What is an apocalypse without monsters.. come on." Wil said, with his hands outstretched dramatically.
After a moment of silence he started to help people near him. He figured wrapping bandages or make-shift bandage around the head would help.

Hmerrin(HP:52/67 AC:24 T:15 FF:20 CMD:24) 
Wednesday January 17th, 2018 10:06:37 PM

As his hearing returns, Hmerrin slowly climbs back to his feet. Dabbing at the blood trickling from his right ear, the young man shuffles over to join Toston, when yet another crashing can be heard.

The fighter exits the temple, joining up with Lornak and Dusan.
"What now?" he asks tiredly.


Disaster Falls (DM Cayzle) 
Wednesday January 17th, 2018 11:45:57 PM


[OOC: Those who are deafened remain so, The effect has already lasted a few minutes. Those who have experienced a shorter duration in other games ... well, maybe Dirt City heard a louder SOUND.]

Asteria urges her deaf friends to stop kidding around!

Dušan hopes he deafness will pass, and in the meantime, the brilliat lights above are astounding!

Lornak explains what he knows to Wilford and Asteria. The others do not hear. [OOC: Could those with intact eardrums please put anything they say in spoilers? The deaf should not be hearing it!]

Gaffer wonders if these effects are reaching as far as the Culverwood. Some intuition in his heart suggests that the danger is to the entire Wold. He joins his friends outside to see them looking up.

Toston sees that Father Chjarom is distressed again, and asks him about it, but the dear fellow cannot hear any response.

Ethani waits in the temple with Toston and Chjarom.

Wilford looks for monsters but detects none aside from the usual suspects who plague his waking moments -- from within.

Hmerrin notes that his hearing does not return. He joins Toston, and the two gesture at one another. Then he goes out, sees his friends looking up, and asks, "What now?" -- he hears no reply.

Father Charom grabs Wilford and shakes him, saying, "The shard! it has landed to the north! It is dangerous! You will go to it! Please!"

Seeing the lips of the others move Gaffer can only shake his head with a solemn face and point to his ear to explain. He watches the skies and waits for his hearing to recover, doing his best to read the lips of anyone speaking.

Feeling uncharacteristically helpless, Dušan retreats closer to the building and tries to at least not be in the way of others. He's shocked at how the loss of one sense has made him so much less capable. He tries to compensate by opening his third eye and Detecting Magic and looks for anything that could make him feel useful again.

Thursday January 18th, 2018 6:23:19 PM

Lornak looks around to see if he can spot any smokestacks rising from skydrawn impacts in an effort to point his deaf companions in a direction. (Persp d20=25) He can add details later as their ears recover. Did he just hear Father Charom say something? Everything is happening so fast.

Lornak decides to let loose the charge on his forearm. He throws Vin toward the sky with a command to return to Shale house. As he does he wonders if the refugees will fair well without them. He looks back to the horizon and knows they must travel North...

Hmerrin(HP:52/67 AC:24 T:15 FF:20 CMD:24) 
Thursday January 18th, 2018 6:40:27 PM

Silence. Well, not silence. Hmerrin has been in silence before. There is a constant, high pitched tone sounding from inside his head, and that's all he can hear.

People are talking, but the young man is lost.

Should Lornak point out one of the smoke stacks, Hmerrin considers it.
He makes a circular motion to indicate the Tide, and then points to the smokestack, and then arches an eyebrow inquiringly at Lornak.

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42,) 
Thursday January 18th, 2018 9:12:33 PM

Sensing the Father's distress, and being in quite a bit of distress herself, Ethani lays a gentle hand on the priest's shoulder. She mimes to him that she cannot hear. Completely lost, she walks around healing those she can.

Thursday January 18th, 2018 9:15:42 PM

Asteria is confused and very scared. As a simple barbarian, even magic was awe-inspiring to her. She starts to wonder if the Wold really is falling apart. Her mind cluttered, she doesn't find anything helpful to say.

Disaster Falls (DM Cayzle) 
Thursday January 18th, 2018 11:45:53 PM

Gaffer watches the skies and tries to read lips. But the clouds don't have lips! [OOC: Make Perception checks to try to read lips please.]

Dušan tries detecting magic. And he does sense something unusual ... like an aura that continues to fall from the sky. Can it be RAINING MAGIC?

Lornak looks to see any clouds of dust that might indicate impact sites. Indeed, he sees a glow and a dust cloud in the north.

Hmerrin gestures a question to the group ... should the Tide head north toward the whatever-it-is?

Ethani does her best to calm the agitated seer. He settles at her gentle healing touch. He asks her to -- if you can hear -- Highlight to display spoiler: {help save the city.}

Asteria's dismay deepens. What to do? What to do?

Toston mimes his deafness to tell the good seer that he cannot hear. If you are not deaf or if you make a Perception check vs DC13 to read lips, then you can get the gist of his response: Highlight to display spoiler: {"WHAT!? SPEAK UP!}

Wilford has questions, but no one has answers.

Gradually, gradually, though, the ringing in your ears diminishes. The pain in your heads eases.

Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:43/45; AC:22 Touch 20; FF 18 - CMD 23 
Friday January 19th, 2018 2:08:31 AM

Toston says to father Chjarom, "I can't hear you."

He is unsure what he said himself because he is still deafened so he looks at the father and covers his ears with his hands.

Wilford Grimly (HP:44/44; AC: 18; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) 
Friday January 19th, 2018 8:30:14 AM

"Hold, sir.. Hold the shaking."
Wil says.
"What is this shard and where is it exactly? If it will help, we will go."

Hmerrin(HP:52/67 AC:24 T:15 FF:20 CMD:24) 
Friday January 19th, 2018 8:30:08 PM

With the ringing in his ears gradually subsiding, Hmerrin realizes the deafness should pass relatively soon.

The fighter pantomimes for everyone to stay put.

Once he can hear properly, he tries to get the gist of what the old priest/seer/crazy guy was saying.

Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:31/33; AC:17; Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} 
Friday January 19th, 2018 9:02:31 PM

Dušan joins the rest of the group. “It’s raining magic outside,” he says perhaps a bit loud. Then he realized he could start to hear that muffled in his own head and the ringing was subsiding. He hopes this means the rest of his hearing would return soon, “Hey! I heard that! And I’m hearing this, too.”

Nodding at Hmerrin’s pantomime he takes a seat on the floor.

Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:43/45; AC:22 Touch 20; FF 18 - CMD 23 
Friday January 19th, 2018 11:16:04 PM

Toston overjoyed to be able to finally hear something and that being Dusan's observation sings, "It's raining magic, hallelujah."

Then goes back to the priest and says, "Now what were you saying?"

Disaster Falls (DM Cayzle) 
Friday January 19th, 2018 11:53:27 PM

Indeed, the deafness fades, and you regain your ability to hear. Thank goodness!

That goes for the old seer too. And when communication is possible, he declares that disaster has fallen, as a star from the sky. But this star came not from the heavens, but from the south!

The high priest of the temple arrives, elegant in his gold lame suit of office. He says that he has a report of something falling north of the city.

“If it is a threat, we need to know,” the high priest says. "Will you go investigate?


Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42,) 
Saturday January 20th, 2018 3:48:23 AM

Gently rubbing her ears, Ethani smiles. Secretly she had been worried that her hearing might not return. This was a good sign. Finding Lornak, she says (perhaps a little too loudly) "What happened outside? I was too afraid to come to you when I lost my hearing." The sea elf leans her head on Lornak's shoulder and whispers "What is going on my love? I'm afraid. "

Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:31/33; AC:17; Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} 
Saturday January 20th, 2018 5:37:06 PM

Not wanting to speak for the group, Dušan looks at his friends, "I think we should go. It feels proactive and I'm tired of being reactive."

Lornak greets Ethani with an embrace when she emerges from the temple. He raises his hands and waves the group towards to give an account of the sky falling; "Celestial bodies rained from the heavens and crashed down upon the earth. They burned and shimmered the entirety of the sky in long streamers. The last large satellite exploded to the North" He points his hand to the direction where he can see a strange glow and a cloud of smoke rising from the impact.

"I believe they are called meteorites." He looks down to Ethani and lowers his voice. "It was quite beautiful and awesome and frightening."

Sunday January 21st, 2018 9:37:51 AM

Finally. A chance to actually do something. Possibly even helpful.

"Wardd yeah, we're going," Hmerrin practically laughs out. "That's why they pay us all that gold, right?"

The young fighter waits impatiently for his comrades to prepare, and then heads north with them.
He's tries to keep an eye out for Flying Purple Cloud Monsters, and giant cracks in the earth, and looters, and evildoers, and anything else out there that will likely try to kill them.

Toston says to the old priest, "I don't suppose you have any magic item in your basement that may lend us Wardd's luck in investigating whatever fell from the sky? I understand it is customary for you to have a bunch of lucky magic items in your basement."

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42,)

Comforted by the bravery of her friends, Ethani nods. "We should probably get going..."

Keen to find out what the situation is further north Gaffer is pleased with the plan. "Lets get going before anything else comes crashing down" he says to the group in general, keeping his eyes on the skies.

Once they set off he offers to fly above if any of them are worried about going the wrong way, otherwise enjoying getting out of the city and stretching his legs.

Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:31/33; AC:17; Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16}

Lornak leans in and kisses Ethani gently then pulls away still holding her shoulders. "Are you ready for this?" He asks her. "You just got back." He squeezes her shoulders. "You can stay behind if you wish, there is plenty of healing that can be done here."

Lornak joins the rest of his companions and sets out to march towards the horizon.

Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP:43/45; AC:22 Touch 20; FF 18 - CMD 23

Toston waits patiently for what the priest has to say

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42,) 
Tuesday January 23rd, 2018 9:02:05 AM

Enjoying the warmth of Lornak's kiss, Ethani nods enthusiastically. "I can do this. It's just the deafness scared me is all. You will need me with you. And I don't want to be away from you again. Let's get going."

Grabbing Lornak's hand, Ethani gets ready to leave.

Investigation (DM Dank) 
Tuesday January 23rd, 2018 10:36:28 AM

The party prepares, gears up and heads out of the city to the north. The old priest shakes his head to Toston's question of a magic item or two. "All of our available resources are being spent here."

He does have a bit more information, though.

"The meteor seems to have fallen in the old bloodyards. In my grandfather's day, the Lich-Master of Bone Mountain led an army of evil and undead things to attack the city. They hauled evil magical bells and gongs like seige engines. Led by Bull the Minotaur, every man, woman, and child of Dirt City prepared to fight. And it was the Gold Dragons who saved the day in the end. Those old battlefields are still cursed to this day, and adventurers have encountered all manner of evil and dead things there."

"The falling stone has landed in the middle of that old battlefield. It is an infertile and festering stretch of land where only nettles and brambles may grow and monsters and beasts are known to prey upon those who dare venture within."

Gaffer offers to take wing, once clear of the city proper to provide a birds eye view of the surroundings and what may lie ahead.

The group's destination, as best as any know, is less than a days walk. The good news. Right into the scrublands where the Master of Mount Bone's army was defeated in a great battle.

You are an hour outside the city, with about 3-5 hours travel to go. The air is dusty, the sky hazy with the sun glowing behind it. You can taste the dust in your mouth and though it irritates your eyes, you can still see quite well.

"You know," Dušan begins "I never left the city before I joined the Tide. And It's places like this that make me realize why."

Fearing the worst from the rumors and looks of things, Dušan casts Detect Magic and keeps his eyes peeled for threats (Perception d20+6 = 13), but is more focused on any out of place auras (Spellcraft d20+17=24) ahead of them. He also occasionally looks behind him to make sure there are no auras following them as well.

Lornak treks on the scrub land towards the impact site, the talk of undead bouncing about his mind. He wishes he has more fire weapons. Or any weapons more powerful than the simple wooden and silver bolts packed carefully inside the numerous pockets about his garb.

He surveys the scrub land and realizes that he has not been out in the wild for quite some time. His nature instincts have taken a hit with his captivity in urban environments. (Persp d20=13) He notices the small oasis's of beauty tucked away here and there but the terrain seems foreign to him even though he has see plains like this before.

He speaks to Ethani; "When all of this upset has mended itself I want to journey out into the wild for a time. Would you join me?"

The young fighter slides in next to Dusan.
"There ARE regions of colossal beauty," he notes, echoing Lornak.

"This ain't one of 'em."

Hmerrin continues forward, taking an occasional glance around for movement, but mostly relying on his more aware teammates to warn him of trouble.

Asteria is glad to be back in familiar territory, though not in reference to the land itself. She actually doesn't really know where they are right now. She's thankful to be on the road again, with an axe in her hand and friends by her side. She missed this lax period where they were just on the road, able to actually chill out and talk

The tall barbarian lady nudges up to Gaffer, giving him a playful prod to the side. "Hey! I'm Asteria. I don't think we've properly met before! But I don't think much either, so it might have just slipped my mind. Who are you again?"

Omens and Worst! (DM Cayzle) 
Wednesday January 24th, 2018 8:17:17 AM


Dušan detects magic, but nothing within range registers. Out of range, however, he sees shooting stars flying from the south overhead. There are more meteors to fall, maybe?

Lornak checks his weapons; he feels out of place in this scrubland of ill omen. He hears the sounds of small animals, hidden mice, maybe, or rabbits or foxes, shrieking in pain ... others in the group hear it too, if he mentions it.

Toston is not sure he has a good feeling about all this!

Hmerrin tries to keep alert. He notes something ... a ground squirrel ... but something is off about it. It seems to be in pain, twisting and writhing. As you watch, you see the creature mutate before your very eyes. Its fur falls out, it sweats droplets of blood, and it makes the oddest sound ...

Wilford reminisces about undead encounters past, but he too sees something odd ... a patch of grass ... hued in red!

The party hears the sound of more meteorites whistling across the sky and landing in not too distant locations. Each lands with a solid *whumpf*

The party gets closer to the site of the meteorite fall, and you can see other small patches of the unnatural red grass as you approach the crater.

You also observe more small animals -- a fox and a hawk lying on the ground -- that seem to be in pain, convulsing and mutating. feathers change to scales; claws grow into talons, muscles wrench under skin.

From the crater ahead, at the impact site, the party hears howling and gobbling sounds -- a fight is taking place!

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42 Sanctuary 1/7,) 
Wednesday January 24th, 2018 9:44:22 AM

Ethani takes the time to snuggle a little with Lornak on the trip. It was so rare that they found any down time.

"I would LOVE it My Love. There is so much of the surface Wold that I have not seen. I would love to show you my Wold as well. The Undersea Kingdoms are beautiful year round. There is so much I have to show you...the endless void where the sea elves prove their bravery by diving for pearls...the Coral Reefs of Loralei Pass...oh, and you must see the sunken shipwreck remains outside of Aisildur. I used to sneak out there when I was little and pretend I was a Pirate of Jack. Mom used to get sooooo ticked!!" Ethani snickers at the memory.

The young sea elf is brought back to reality by the sounds of animals in pain. So much pain. Human or animal...it doesn't matter to the Healer of Alemi. Pulling her wand from the loop on her side, Ethani casts Sanctuary on herself. Knowing that animals in pain can lash out inadvertently at those who are only trying to help. She intends to advance as soon as she can toward the fox and hawk, intent on healing from whatever is hurting them.

Hmerrin looks on in revulsion as the squirrel, well, melts. Into .. something.

"Dusan? Lornak? This would be the part where you tell us there is a perfectly natural something going on, and we don't have to worry about it," he quips halfheartedly.

As a counterpoint to his attempt at playful banter however, the fighter draws his axes, wordlessly waves at Ethani to stay behind him, and warily advances toward the impact site and the sound of fighting.

"This ain't right," he mutters to himself.

Dušan, expecting the worse, takes out his Wand of Mage Armor and taps himself. He then positions himself in the middle of the group. "I'm positionitioning myself strategically where I can reach the most of you," Dušan says to the front line, "Not hiding in the middle. I would never do such a thing. I faced down a bear. And well, I guess we know how that ended."

"It sounds beautiful, my love." Lornak says to Ethani. "I pray we can find the time." Lornak bristles a bit at the mention of Ashira, Ethani's mother. He bristles even more when he sees the small creatures around him mutate before his very eyes.

"That is an ill omen." Lornak says to no one in particular. "I fear our circumstances may be very much out of our control..." Yet we must press on. He thinks to himself.

"...everyone keep their wits about them..." He says to the group. "...do not extend yourselves until the real threats emerge."

Lornak pulls out his crossbow and nocks and bolt into it. He hears the cries of battle and moves ahead cautiously. (Perception d20=28)

A chance to get out of the city is always welcome. Well. Almost always...
His heart wrenches at the sounds of the animals and he can't help but feel concerned at the strange colours taking root in the earth. What could be the meaning of this? (Nature: 1 + 10)

Shouldn't we at least try first before we kill them?" Shaking her head at the hack and slash mentality of her sister in arms, Ethani waits for a higher power to move the hands of time.

Release the Hounds (DM Dank) Combat Rounds 1 
Thursday January 25th, 2018 6:39:49 PM

Noting the distressed animals, the mutating bleeding and morphing animals, Ethani feels the call of the healer.
She takes out her Santuary wand and casts a protection spell upon herself before she moves to approach.

Hmerrin draws his axes and waves for the elf to let him lead the way

Wilford calls upon a spell to aid him should the need arise for combat

Dusan moves to the middle of the group where he can best get to everyone and casts Mage Armor on himself with a wand

Lornak draws and loads his crossbow and moves cautiously ahead towards the crater and the sounds of combat.

Toston also casts Mage Armor with his wand and follows Lornak

Gaffer feels for the animals, the druid's heart aches as he watches them mutate into hideaous abominations before his very eyes

Asteria tightens her grip on her axe. She too feels forr the hapless things, but nothing can be done now but to perhaps put them down. She moves to the side with Ethani and Hmerrin

Ahead, Lornak and Toston near and peer over the crater rim.
The meteorite struck a burial mound of some kind when it hit, sheering off the entire front section.
The crater is roughly 110' across and slopes down to a depth of 40'

Nearly half of a dozen undead have emerged from teh destroyed mound, but that is not what is making all the noise.
A great pack of mutated hounds have descended upon them and are tearing them to bits.
The dogs are huge now! Just over five feet tall at the shoulder, with foam dripping fangs and large, red eyes
and flecks of more foam and blood splattered everywhere. Blood seeps from their nose and eyes, and drops from
their hide.
Knowledge Nature DC 20:Highlight to display spoiler: { It’s difficult to tell at first, but these appear to be a species of wild dog that have somehow been transformed.}

As Ethani approaches the fox, what is left of the creatures fur raises and it hisses. The hawk, though most of the poor things feathers are gone, takes to the air.
It launches, splattering blood and a strange white foam as it whips its wings and despite it being impossible, it does indeed rise into the air to head away

Hmerrin and Asteria are right behind/beside Ethani and about 4 feet from the fox.

"My apologies good Gaffer. With all the upset abound I have completely forgotten my manners." Lornak says. "These two fine ladies are Ethani and Asteria, missing members of The Tide for a time on an urgent mission for the WLA." He waves his hand two the sea elf and barbarian respectively. "They have returned to us after the earth quaked." Twinkling can be seen in Lornak's eyes when he speaks about his love, Ethani. "I recommend getting on their good side for their favor might just keep you alive."

Lornak spots the carnage taking place over the ridge and slowly backs away with a gasp. He recognizes the species of the hounds and is suddenly very very afraid at what they may face on the other side, undead aside. (Knowledge: Nature d20=25) "Those wilding dogs have been twisted in form by something sinister..." He warns the group. "...they are barely recognizable in their obscene state. I fear what made them that way..."

"Dusan, my friend I do not suppose you have anything in your considerable repertoire to imbue my bolts with fire, and perhaps may anyone have an extra mace or flail...?"

Ethani's eyes squint in distaste at the undead. Unnatural out of place things that should not be. She voices her opinion none the less. "We should let the dogs finish off the undead. One less thing we will have to kill later.

Sighing, Ethani resigns herself to the fact that the animals are probably beyond her help now. She nods at Asteria as she roots through her backpack and fishes out her Bull's Strength wand (move action). She then reaches out to Alemi in Prayer (standard action).

"My gut says the more undead they consume, the stronger they become." He says disagreeing with Ethani. "Can we afford to wait much longer if that is the case?"

Monday January 29th, 2018 8:11:54 AM

Everyone moves into action and Ethani is no different. Tapping Asteria with her *wand* of Bull's Strength, Ethani scoots back toward Gaffer (S3), not wanting the party to get too spread out.

Knowsing that her battle sister sometimes gets caught up in the thrill of battle she calls out "Hey Asteria,I'd feel a lot better if you'd move back over here toward me. Makes healing you easier..."

The lightning bolt comes crashing down as gaffer directs it towards V6 dealing 9 damage.
"Watch the sides, I don't think we want to be encircled" He calls to the others and begins to summon a Dire Wolf to join their fight. Muttering to himself, "Please don't freak out, please don't freak out..."

After spouting what he thought might be a decent enough battle speech he turns his head back towards the oncoming horde of hounds. To his surprise they are right on top of the group. He reacts the only way he knows how in the short time distance between him and the horde; "Gaah!" He mouths as he stumbles backwards from the edge. (5 foot step to P5)

Out of the corner of his eye he sees a hound engaging from the groups right flank. He lets loose the suspended bolt more out of reflex than purpose. (Attack Action d20=36(Nat 20 +14BAB+1MagicWeapon[MW] +1Luck, Crit Hit Confirmed d20=34, 18dmg(1d4+3+1+1Luck X2)

As the bolt flies from its home Lornak watches in awe as the crossbow shimmers to life mid fire. The sparkling energy surrounds the bow and illuminates it. Just before the bolt finds purchase in the hound (N6) the energy whips out of the front of the bow and connects to the bolt creating the effect of a piercing white fire.

Haha! He screams. "That's more like it!"

Toston can't really get another good burning hands lined up so he decides to acrobatically move to outflank hd12 with Hmerrin.

(OOC: don't know if I need to roll 1 acrobatics check for all enemies or 5 checks for the 5 hounds threatening the squares I move through. hound 5, 10, 9, 12 and 13 all threaten squares I'd be moving through.)

(Single roll is 13, 4 more rolls are 13, 32, 27 and 19; I'm thinking I provoke at least 2 AOO)

Toston then swiftly charges his attack with magic before punching hound 12. (24 vs AC; 6 magic bludgeoning damage) Toston should be at U6 I believe.

Growling as one of the dog attacks connect, Asteria starts to feel a little weird (Fort DC 19). Nevertheless, a barbarian's gotta do what a barbarian's gotta do. Her axe lashes down at the dog that threatened Ethani (hd 9) and she smiles as bone and goop fly (AC 33/23 for 20 or 45 if crit).

OOC: I meant to say in last round's post that she moved to T3. I'll have her move this round, but I would appreciate it if I can get the full round attack that I should have had last round for not moving. LOL...which is AC 7...yeah...that's gonna hit. :P

Lornak's little victory is short lived as a hound lunges to tear off a piece of him from his lower leg. He braces for the bite and cries out through a grim smile as the teeth sink in... (Fort Save d20=23) He withstands the pain as the hound wrenches its head away. He wonders what he might have just contracted from its bleeding maw.

Lornak feels the wound in his leg go numb as the Bull's Strength spell kicks in. The familiar sensation of his muscles growing slightly larger emboldens him. "Thank you, Love." he quips. "This fight may well come down to me showing off my new dueling skills."

He swiftly loads another bolt(Move Action) and lets it shimmer point blank at the attacking hound. (Attack Action d20=33 (+14BAB+1[MW]+1Luck), 8dmg(1d4+3+1+1Luck)

Toston leaps and twists his way past the Hounds to another position. As he moves, three of the hounds bite at him, but Toston is just ahead of each attack. He then strikes a hould in the flank.

"Lornak!" Ethani's calm demeanor quickly fades to near panic as she watches her Love's life blood quickly draining from multiple wounds. Without a second thought, she reaches out her hand to Lornak and lightly touches his arm. There is a brief flash of light from her hands and immediately all of Lornak's wounds close (36 pts healed-Lesser Life Gift-Move Action).

Ethani gasps as the wounds open on her own body, The pain hits her all at once and she can't help but let the briefest of grunts escape her lips before she casts Cure Serious Wounds on herself. (3d8+10=24 restored-Standard Action)

Lornak's flank gets bit as he backs away from the front line. He does not endure the pain as well as the first wound. He feels fatigued. (Fort Save d20=19) In reaction he steps back from the front line and drops his crossbow(5 foot step to O4)(Swift action) He regrets having to waste time doing so.

As he steps back he feels Ethani's hand on his shoulder. "Quarters are getting tight." He brandishes his rapier(Standard Action) and raises his buckler; "I think its best that I show off for you now!"

Gaffer moves to Asteria after completing a second Dire Wolf summoning. The 2 wolves attack the dogs, but miss the elusive hounds

Toston charges his attack with Magic, but misses

Asteria swings her axe twice, but she too is having an off few seconds and misses

Wil fires a crossbow bolt and it sinks into the grouund next to the hound with a thwap

Estaria reaches out and cures Lornak of his wound, the hard way, by taking the pain unto herself. A blessing of Alemi later, however, and she is cured as well.

Lornak steps away from the hounds, dropping his hand crossbow, pulling his rapier and brandishing his buckler.

Hmerrin, his previous wounds healed, strikes and connects solidly with 2 of his 3 attempts. the axes bite deep and kill the hound

Dusan spews forth a swarm of wasps. What? He what? Wasps swarm about one of the hounds, stinging and biting the creature.

The hounds under Wil, converge on the dog and tear it into tiny pieces

2 Hounds close on Lornak and one of them reopens the just healed wound in his leg.
Hit AC 15/29 Dmg 17

1 hound attacks Hmerrin, but the young man is able to spin away

2 hounds attack Toston and still the gnome eludes them

1 hound attacks teh wounded Dire wolf, tearing another large chunk from the wolf
Hit AC 30 Dmg 19 (35 Dmg total)

1 hound attacks ASteris, but misses

1 hound attacks the new wolf and misses

The hound in the swarm barks and snaps at the wasps, to no avail

There is still so much to be done...

Ethani steps away from Lornak who looks like he is fine right now and makes her way over to Hmerrin (S5). She taps the young man with Bull's Strength, hoping to tip the fight toward the Tide's advantage.

"Bwhahahahahaha!" Asteria bursts out laughing when the dog misses its attack. "Not so easy is it? Ok...my turn..."

Down swings her axe in a mighty arc and then a backswing against hd15 (AC 25 for 19 and AC18 for 25). IF she is able to kill the critter, Asteria turns her second attack against hd14.

Gaffer winces as his dire wolf takes another harsh attack but ultimately is glad it's the wolf taking the damage, ready to heal Asteria if it becomes her turn.

The wolves continue to attack (Attacks : 13/14, Damage : 13/10) and Gaffer curses their poor work, "What is this!" While calling down another lightning bolt on Asterias target.(14 damage)

Hmerrin feels the strengthening spell, while also noting Toston flailing at this hound.

Hoping to take advantage of both his increased strength and the fact that hound isn't paying attention, the fighter widens his stance and drops his grip on his axe handles, trading some accuracy for more raw power.

Both weapons whistle as they arc into the hounds.

Dušan takes a 5 foot step back Q3, wipes some spittle from his chin and smiles at carnage the wasps have wrought. He is so pleased that he decides to bring forth another swarm. This time he is more prepared for the toll on his body. After a few wet coughs he stands dauntless, arms spread, head back and from his open maw he lets loose another Wasp Swarm into P2 and sends them southwest to M5.

The air is filled with the buzzing of thousands of insects as the swarms harry their respective hounds.

Asteria continues her assault, striking with one of her blows killing the hound

Gaffer readies to heal Asteria if needed as the Dire wolves continue to attack, but not score any hits. The druid calls down another stroke of lightning into a hound on Asteria

Hmerrin, plants his axes into a hound multiple times

Wil pulls out a flask of Alchemical fire and throws it into the 3 hounds beneath him, catching one of them on fire

Dusan slides back and sends another swarm to help Lornak

He steps back as liquid black passes out of the corner of his eye. He steals a glance back at its source and is astonished to see its spewing forth from Dusan's mouth. He realises that Dusan has been going through some changes lately... "That's new." He mouths to himself.

Distracted by the swarm of whatever flying about, he does not see the attacks from his right. (Fort d20=21, Fort Save = 31) He feels very very lightheaded and is barely staying on his feet. His vision is blurred at the edges and he is woozy.

Ethani sighs as she sees Lornak ripped into once more. She carefully threads her way back over to him (O3). Reaching out her hand, she lightly touches Lornak's shoulder and smiles as some of his wounds heal (27 restored...one of those 8's was a 1 which I rerolled...and then promptly lost the "explain this roll" thing).

Dušan is nearly knocked off his feat by the hounds attack. He barely manages to keep the snapping jaw away (Fort save d20+6= 23) as the dogs fleks of saliva bead with his own down his chin. Doing so left him open to rakes from the paws however.

He hears Gaffer's encouragement as feels the Druid's healing wash over him, "Hang in there, they're losing this one"

"Yes they are..." Dušan agrees in a voice that's not quite right as he takes another cautious step back 5 feet. Maybe his throat is just raw from the wasps, but his smile is not right either. Dušan often hides behind a smile the same way a city official hides behind a uniform, but this smile is not hiding anything. This smile is all teeth bared and dripping with rage. And then there are his eyes, opened wide in fury, nearly feline and feril. A look that many would consider unsettling. But this look is not for them. This is for Hound 4. (Cast Scare )

Hoping for the best brings him back to the present. He shakes his head and his carefree smile attempts to return as turns to Gaffer, "Sorry about that. Thanks for the assist!"

(last round...post came at same time as DM)Lornak strikes out with his rapier at each hound trying to eat him and slices deeply into each.

Gaffer casts some needed healing into Dusan [Heal 17]. The summoned Dire wolf misses again.

Wilford hurls a second alchemical fire, burning several as well as the swarm. Alchemist Fire deals 1d6 on a direct hit and 1 splash to all adjacent creatures. I scored the hit on hd 3 and splashed hd11 and hd1

Leaving Hmerrin to take down the last couple, Toston moves to help Asteria. He flanks the hound, but is unable to hit it

Ethani moves to assist Lornak, the hound she passes ignores her. Arriving, she heals him with a Cure Serious Wounds spell [Heal 27]

Hmerrin chops into one of the hounds still facing off with him and kills it.

Lornak kills one of the hounds with a quick thrust and then finishes off a second with a decisive slash. Both attacks hit and you killed it. PLEASE NOTE Extra dice for sneak attacks do not get any bonuses. Just the dice

Dusan steps back from teh hound and casts Scare. The hound growls in response. Despite the terrifying visage Dusan put forth, the spell seem sto have had no affect on the hound.
Both swarms moves south

Asteria plants her axe hard into a hound, spraying the area in blood as she laughs. The hound is wounded, but still full of hatred and fight. Her second swipe whistles high and misses.

The hounds lunge...

The summoned Dire wolk is bit

Asteria side steps teh hound and it misses

Hmerrin gets bit

Toston continues to flurry at the hound (13) he is flanking with Asteria. He charges his attacks with magic and then attempts to punch it once again (24 vs AC; 6 magical bludgeoning damage) (13 vs AC; miss)

Knowing that she won't stand any chance against the animals, Ethani takes a step behind Lornak (O3) and casts yet another healing spell (Cure Moderate Wounds=21)

"Holiday. Yes my Love, we need to plan our Holiday after this..somewhere warm and quiet...and free of dogs."

Relieved to see more hounds fall, Gaffer stays by Dusan's side while calling down lightning once more (11 damage) on the hound hovering near Ethani (hd4).

The wolf lost to it's blood lust and continues to attack despite the gaping wound it receives. (16 + 9 = 25) Lunging forwards with a surprising speed, (12 Damage), attempting to grip the hounds neck and drag it to the floor. (Trip: 3 + 9 =12)

Hmerrin gives a hiss as the hound's teeth find flesh.
[Fortitude 13 - Fail]

Hearing Ethani's shout, the fighter looks over his shoulder.
"No, No, No. No eating the healers."

The fighter takes a step and slams his axes into the offending critter.

Rather fatigued, Lornak holds his pain in as another hounds bites into his lower leg. His face an evil grin; "Next up in dueling regiment, distance." He grunts. (Fort Save d20=30) He lashes out at the animal.

hd3(Attack Action d20=38(Nat 20 confirmed)(+13BAB+4BullsStrength+1Luck), dmg=15

He is again hit by the familiar warmth of someone's healing touch. He teeters back and forth a bit. The ups and down of combat can be trying. He strikes out against the other hound between him and Wil.

Every fiber in Dušan encourages him to move away, but he doesn't want to be a coward. He doesn't mind joking about such things as he is often most effective furthest from harm. And in this case he can't decide who would weather the assault better, Ethani or himself. So, he stands his ground, hoping more targets for the hound will give more time for another to strike it down. In the mean time he calls the Waps in N13 back to N5 where they furiously return to their fervor.

"Don't get in the wasps path," Dušan warns Wil and Lornak pointing north of the wasps, "They can get rather single minded if they don't have target.

Toston continues his assault and connects with a magically charge fist. He feels ribs shatter under the force of the blow, but the hound is still on its feet nd attacking.

Ethani moves to her right behind Lornak and casts another healing spell on Lornak. [Heal 21]

Gaffer calls down another bolt of lightning near Ethani and the Dire Wolf grabs ahold of the hound in its jaws. The wolf is unable to bring down the hound.

Hmerrin adjusts his priorities and attacks the hound trying to eat the healer. His axes dig in twice and the animal falls dead.

Lornak skewers the hound to his left and then runs a deep slice across the hounds flank that is between he and Wilford. DM just remembered that he forgot that Wil is 10' up and not in melee range of the hound and therefore not flanking. My bad. for this fight you are flanking, cheers

Dusan calls back one of the swarms and it returns to engulf a hound near Lornak and Wil. The succumbs to their bites and stings, falling to the ground dead.

Ethani chuckles at Hmerrin's playful banter and Lornak's snarky response. "You're more than welcome for the healing that Alemi has provided you, my Love. Perhaps you would prefer that the dogs eat me alive and then you will have no one to restore you..." Ethani gently jabs.

Reaching out her hand once more, she touches Lornak's shoulder. Her hand glows white as the healing provided to her by Alemi is channeled into Lornak.

Ethani then turns her attention toward the other side of the battle field and Asteria. She travels out of the reach of the dogs and lands behind her shield sister (T2), ready to provide her with healing next round.

Swish...swish...Asteria always loved the sound of her axe in battle...it was like a song of death. (AC26 for 19 and AC 17 for 17 vs hd13).

"You know, if they weren't falling apart, I'd skin these dogs after I kill them and make some nice fur boots." Asteria lets out an exaggerated sigh at her bad luck and shudders to think of what kind of bugs the last dog bite gave her (Fort-12).

Not to be outdone the dire wolf continues to fight. (Attack: 19) Trying to rake it's claws against the hound before it (Damage: 13)

Lornak takes one another bite from a hound before it goes down. He withstands the wound but he feels chewed up. (Fort Save d20=29)

He hears and feels Ethani's words and touch but it is very distant. So are Hmerrin's words, even though he gleans their meaning.

He attacks the hound near Wil again but is to weary to know if it does damage.

He disengages the hound, staggering backwards. He's had enough of this fight. Confident or not about whether or not Wil or Dusans wasps will finish off the hound he is done with it. (Move Action 5 ft step to P4)

He turns to Hmerrin; "No need Kid, thank you for the concern though..." He groans.

Release the Hounds (DM Dank) Combat Over 
Wednesday February 7th, 2018 11:01:07 AM

The combined attacks of the group put down all of the remaining hounds.
Asteria gets healed by Dusan [22 HP] and
Lornak receives additional healing from Ethani [? HP] Ethani not sure what your rolls are, but Im pretty sure you don't heal with a d20. Please list what healing was used in the next post.

All of the hounds lay dead, mostly hacked up by axes, but even were the kills clean, no one would want to try and used the skins of these creatures. The fur is patchy and thin. The skin is blotched and scabbed, even where no weapon has struck.

Gaffer wonders to himself on the possible impact of being bitten. He certainly knows of animals passing along things people prefer not to have, like rabies and perhaps these foaming and wild crazy mutated hounds do indeed have the horrid disease, but that would not explain their unnatural red color or the blood and ooze coming from their eyes, nose and ears. Rabies might be blessing compared to what, if anything, these hounds passed along

The fight is over and a semi quiet falls over the area. Without ferocious growling and snapping hounds the background of the landscape comes into audio. A slight hum and it seems to be coming from the crater.
The red dust is still in the air and now that you are not being attacked it is easier to notice the large amounts of red vegetation. Both inside the crater and out, red weeds seem to sway, even though there is no wind. Even in the blast zone of the meteorite, the red weeds grow and thrive where there is no possible way any vegetation could have survived such an impact

Near the center of the crater, by the sheared off mound where the ghouls emerged, you can see a blueish glint or soft glow, possibly the meteor itself. While you are looking, it pulses twice and then flashes brightly accompanied by an audible THOOM!. It then drops back to a soft glow

Wednesday February 7th, 2018 5:32:51 PM

"I don't suppose one of you nature types could find some mint," Dušan questions, "however horrible that looked, Let me tell you, it tasted worse..."

With the worst of threat over, Dušan looks over the hounds and tries to see if he can figure out what malady ails them. (Heal d20+12=17)

Then a light catches his eye from the crater. He quickly opens his third eye and tries to determine the source. (Detect Magic, Knowledge Arcana d20+15=27, Spellcraft d20+17 =19)

Hmerrin(HP:60/74 AC:26 T:16 FF:21 CMD:24)

Hmerrin looks about.

"We probably ought to get down there sooner rather than later and figure out how to save the Wold," he observes.
"Everybody relatively OK?"

The young lad glances at the blue glint at the sound, but holds his position while he waits for the others.

Lornak finds his crossbow among the miasma of the hounds and fetches it up. He looks upon their ragged forms as is at a loss as to what could have twisted them so. (Persp d20=13) Stowing his crossbow he joins the others.

"I would be happy too my friend, just so long as you eventually explain your new insectoid relationship." He says with a twinkle and a bit of jest in his eye. "A bit of thorax caught in your teeth...?" He searches out the area for mint and gazes upon the red flora and fauna below him. He tries to discern their pathology (Knowledge Nature d20=20)

He responds to Hmerrin as he looks also at the gashes in his legs; "None worse for wear. However, I am not too keen on what I may have contracted from those bloody hounds."

He shifts up to the ridge line wearily and internally questions The Kids sanity. "I admire your tenacity Kid, if not your prudence..." He shuffles down with the group against his uneasiniess

Not wanting to call attention to get minor wounds, Ethani casts Cure Moderate Wounds on herself (16 pts, but only 12 needed to get to full health).

Taking a very long look at the hound corpses, Ethani hopes to uncover what ails them (Heal =33). Afterward, she examines her companions wounds to see if she can determine if they will suffer any illness from them. (Heal=32)

Asteria streaaacchhhes after the long fight, having barely broken a sweat. After a brief but earnest thanks to Dušan for the healing, she parks herself by Ethani once more, if she wasn't already. She offers a slight pat on the back to her sister in arms.

"Want me to bury them?" She asks, in reference to the fox and hounds. She knew Ethani had wanted to save them, even if it was silly.

"Ooooh, shiny." The big ol flash surely catches her attention, but she doesn't approach without the group.

(Perception: 16)



That's not right...(DM Dank)  
Thursday February 8th, 2018 10:18:52 AM

Ethani casts Cure Serious Wounds on herself.
Wilford casts a healing spell on Hmerrin
Dusan casts Detect Magic and other than what the party carries, nothing is in range, including the object creating the bluish light in the crater.

Dusan and Ethani examine the dogs and the wounds of the party members and the pair come up with a few conclusions, of which none are particularly good. The Hounds were definitely carrying a disease of some kind and Lornak, Hmerrin, Asteria and Wilford all have it. Where the hounds teeth found flesh, the skin is turning an irritable red and seems to be spreading. Small veins and major ones alike, are looking like long angry red lines. The curing spells have taken care of the physical damage, but it is obvious that the disease was unaffected.

Asteria can feel a tingling itch where she was bitten, as can Wilford.

How the hounds were initially infected is unknown. They could have been injured as the party, but in their current state, you simply don't know

Lornak moves up to the crater

The red weeds or grass if you will, sways gently in a non existent breeze. Back and forth, to and fro it moves and drifts upon itself.There is no pattern, but it is captivating and beautiful in its own way

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42 ) 
Thursday February 8th, 2018 1:22:35 PM

Ethani casts a side glance at Dusan and pulls him into a private conference. "I can attempt Remove Disease on three people, but I will have to do it tomorrow after my morning prayers. Do you think you can cast a 4th spell? I am worried that this disease might progress rapidly and I am VERY concerned that it might cause our friends to become aggressive and hostile."

Thursday February 8th, 2018 5:10:48 PM

"I agree wholeheartedly, Ethani." Dušan responds quietly, "Luckily diseases are an area of expertise for witches, but let's not get overconfident. Some diseases can prove to be resistant to magic."

Stepping away Dušan decides Asteria and Wilford are showing the most advanced symptoms. He figures a little aid might not hurt either and asks the clerics for some, "I don't suppose one of you would mind casting a little Guidance to help with this?"

He takes a closer look at Asteria's wounds and casts Remove Disease (Caster check d20+7 = 11 without Guidance). "Oh, and Lornak. Maybe we should collect some of this red grass. A cure can often be found in the same environment as the source, even if you can't find a more... creative application with the plant."

Hmerrin takes in the conversations, looks at Asteria and Wilford, and then at the bite on his own leg. The blood drains from his face.
"Sweet Alemi," he breathes. "Are we gonna turn into them?"

Dusan mentions collecting the plant.

The young fighter immediately finds the closest patch, grabs and handful of grass, and yanks hard to pull it out.

He then precedes to have a conversation with himself, looking far more comfortable about it then he should be.

Thursday February 8th, 2018 8:08:06 PM

Asteria looks at her wounds with mild concern, but mostly interest. "Huh. Would you look at that." She scratches at it a bit before forcing herself to stop messing with it, as the moms of the tribe always told her.

She laughs at Hmerrin's ghost of a whisper, her bright demeanor never seeming to fade despite her illness. "Oh, Hmerrin! Don't be silly. We can't turn into dogs! At least, I can't."

Toston moves closer with Lornak.

"I wonder what that humming noise is?" Toston asks as he gets closer.

Lornak looks at the festering wounds in his legs and the undulating plant life and wonders if there is a correlation. Is the soil or even proximity to the crystal shard causing the "disease" that infected the hounds? Could it possibly affect him...?

"Sweet Alemi, indeed..." He says

(OOC double clicked the roll button ignore the second roll)

(Perception: 20) Gaffer also moves towards the center, feeling very nervous as he watches the red grass sway.

"Turning into animals is not so bad but I don't like these ones. Can we hurry and get out of here. They can help at the temple right?"

"It will only infect the animals," Wil says confidently. "No way it can transfer to us."
He then itches his leg careful not to touch the wound. He then wraps the would carefully with any bandages or clothing he can find. (Perception: 23)
"Do you think the dogs have any treasure.. nah.. that would be silly. Those plants seem to be alive. I think I may join you in touching one. Just so curious. So with the houses destroyed, what do we do with this meteorite?"

That's not right...That might be worse (DM Dank)  
Friday February 9th, 2018 3:38:30 PM

Ethani has to wait until tomorrow to attempt to cure anyone.
Dusan does not and sets about casting Remove Disease on Asteria. The spell seems to have no affect.
Hmerrin, on the thought from Dusan to collect some of the strange grass, heads over and tries to grab some. The grass remains quite where it is. Hmerrin pulls, tugs and otherwise does his best to uproot the grass, but to no avail.
Asteria seems unconcerned about her possible condition
Toston joins Lornak and are both able to verify that yes, the hum is coming from where the meteorite likely is. The back of the burial mound by the torn corpses of the ghouls that attacked the hounds.
Wilford does his best to bandage up his wound and while it looks better because he can't see it. The itching has not subsided

Lornak Toston and Gaffer enter the crater, the rest of the group is near the rim. The bank is not particularly steep nor is the soil very loose which makes going down quite simple The red weeds and grass sway and move, but not reaching towards you or reacting to your general presence in any way. Now 40' closer, the trio can hear the hum very well and just in the destroyed burial mound, a soft blue light can be seen. The aura pulses softly, fluctuating intensity seemingly at random

The burial mound is well overgrown with red weed and grass and indeed as the group both in and out of the crater observe the strange plants they can actually see it growing and spreading. Bright red tendrils push just under the soil and thick bladed weeds push to the surface every 10cm. The underground tendrils bare a horrifying similarity to what is going on with 4 of the party members wounds.

Ethani (Nellie, AC 19, HP 42/42 ) 
Friday February 9th, 2018 8:19:09 PM

Ethani slams her fist against the ground in frustration at the failure of the spell. She turns to Asteria. "Hey Sis, do me a favor. Gather one or two of the hounds that are the least damaged by our fight. Ethani takes her priestly clothes out of her backpack and hands them to Asteria. "Tear this up and wrap them in this. I wish to examine them further once we are safely home. "

Friday February 9th, 2018 10:00:19 PM

Dušan wonders if a second attempt of Remove Disease would prove more useful. He knows he could put more effort in the spell, but he wonders if this disease could be resistant to the spell. (OOC: Not sure if this would be Heal, d20+12=26, or Knowledge Arcana, d20+26, or even Spellcraft d20+17=36)

While ponders this he moves forward to those in the crater and tries to think if this sound like anything he has read about the other Planes (Knowledge Planes d20+15=16 ug natural 1)

Lornak does his level best not to succumb to the panic creeping up inside him. Looking left and right as the group moves slowly in towards the shard the perceptible growth of the plants make the space around him seem suddenly claustrophobic. The decay inching along the ground makes him think upon the spreading decay inside his wounds...

"If we cannot stop the spread of this the whole of the region will be consumed before anyone can react..."

As he creep steps cautiously his hand unconsciously finds its way to the hilt of his rapier... (Acrobatics d20=17) ...ready to lash out if any of the plant life decides it wants to be sentient and aggressive.

"Oh sure, and its Magic Unbreakable Grass to boot," Hmerrin spits.

The teen glances again at his leg, and scans the area in evident frustration.

Seeing the trio at the bottom of the crater, Hmerrin leaps down to join them.

Between Lornak's observation, the growing grass, the bluish light, and the implications of his own leg wound, the young human's fight or flight drive is fully engaged.
Axes in hand, he strides purposefully toward the blue light.

Wil grumbles over the constant itching.
He heals himself but he's unsure if it helped the itch.
(Heal moderate wounds: 14)
"Those dogs, do they have an allergic dander cause this leg itches. Hey, maybe we could poke the metorite with a stick. Nothing bad ever comes from that." His tone, slightly sarcastic.

"What are we even doing with this thing" Everyone's growing concern over their wounds raises the question of how they can handle the meteorite. While waiting for the others to join them he watches the plants and the blue light closely, the hairs on his neck raised (Perception: 18) his instincts urgently warning him to get away.

Dušan get's lost in thought as he observes this otherworldly scene. Oblivious to danger, a small part of him hopes that the more observant of he group will notice any danger before it's too late. Until then he allows himself to indulge in his curiosity.

Toston casts detect magic in the bottom of the crater interested to see what can be seen.

He tells the others what he observes.

Asteria is becoming increasingly upset about her wound at the other's reactions to the injuries. She feels anxious that it might be worse than she initially thought. Grabbing the clothes from Ethani, she goes to wrap the nearest hound in them and hoists it up.

The Crystal (DM Dank) Combat Round 1 
Monday February 12th, 2018 10:16:07 AM

Ethani asks Asteria to gather up a hound, or what is left of one of them in a spare set of garments she has and Asteria does so

Dusan thinks on the implications of the spell not working and the simplest explanation is that the disease is a potent strain. He has read about how some disease are much harder to cure then others by magic or mundane means.

Lornak, Toston and Gaffer continue towards the center and Hmerrin and Dusan move down and joins them. Now that he is closer, Toston casts Detect Magic and picks up an aura of Strong Conjuration magic from the destroyed burial mound. The group of 5 can now see a large crystal with brilliant swirling prismatic colors within. It pulses and radiates and the writhing swaying grass seems to move in unison. A new sensation reaches the 5 as well, that of a sickly sweet smell. Like ripened melon in the a hot sun. The soft hum continues....

The ground to the left and right of Hmerrin, Lornak, Tostonand Gaffer erupts, sending dirt and small debris flying. 10' away on either side is a giant badger. Each of these animals very much resembles the hounds you just faced. blood oozes from their eyes, ears, nose and about their claws. Froth and blood come from their mouths as they screech a hideous and wild cry at you.

Combat, no map

Badgers are HUGE in size 15x15. They are 10'
Badger 1 on the right 10' from Hmerrin and Lornak
Badger 2 on the left is 10' from Toston Dusan and Gaffer

Ethani, Asteria and Wilford are 60' away at the crater's edge

Monday February 12th, 2018 4:05:38 PM

Dušan tries to position himself equidistance between the two flanks ready to aid either side. Toston can usually stand his ground. With that in mind he turns to the badger on the right and asks his Immortal Power to Focus Curse on his next casting, "Visaura, these creatures pervert your Domains by using this disease to remove themselves from the eternal cycle. Help me to end their suffering and place them back into the natural order."

He then focuses his power into a Doom spell cast on the badger.

The ground erupts and two REALLY big badgers follow.
Hmerrin does a quick evaluation, eyeing the animal's claws and the distance he still needs to cover.

"Great," he spits. Hmerrin dances in on the badger to the right, keeping his handaxe ready to try and bat aside an oncoming blow. Reaching the badger, he strikes with Thunder.

Lornak snaps his head toward the ground where the Badger on the right emerges. No surprise this time. He swiftly pulls out his still strung crossbow and maneuvers carefully to flank the beast as Hmerrin engages it. (Move action) He plans on keeping his distance and not taking a hit this fight. (Acrobatics d20=21) He raises his buckler, ready to avoid any immediate attack.
