An Attack in the Contested Lands (DM Cayzle) 
Thursday March 21st, 2024 11:14:49 AM


Setting off into the Contested Lands, you travel through most of the day without incident. The land is hilly and rugged in the Windbourne Hills, and though the distance is not great, the journey is not swift. There is a road, and sometimes you see small farmsteads, usually with stout walls and no windows. Some are so large that surely a big clan lives in them. Farmers tend to stare aggressively, or actively retreat into their homes when they see you.

In between these steadings, the road wanders through patches of wilderness. It is in one of these that you spot a large animal -- a tiger? Mauling a humanoid on the ground. The moment it sees you, it runs off. You are about 200 feet from the person lying on the ground. They may not be dead!

Lady Femmu gasps and calls for the party to help the fallen person. “Please, let’s see what we can do!”

(Perception = 23)

Elron looks for signs of an ambush as he moves towards the injured person. It will take a couple of rounds.

Mundhi runs toward the fallen person. Her base speed is 40 ft., and she runs, covering 160' in a round, and slows down to reach the person at the end of the second round. She looks over the humanoid, and pulls out a goodberry given her earlier by Zeoll. "Medicine," she tells him or her, and pops it in the mouth - even if the tiger victim is unconscious. It will heal 1 hp damage. If at negative hit points, it will stabilize the individual.

The Twins move up to stand over the injured person why the healers do their thing, weapons ready to defend against any further attack.

Friday March 22nd, 2024 10:12:49 PM

Mundhi and Lady Femmu run -- the healer arrives just after the giant-kin. The other heroes follow.

You see clearly the signs of a battle: shrubs torn up, blood on the ground, and most of all, an unconscious dwarf. Or barely conscious; you hear faint moaning. He is dressed as a martial artist, in black, white, grey, and rose, and is very wounded.

Mundhi gives a goodberry. Femmu takes out a healer kit and starts to work on the dwarf. He says “thank you,” and holds out his hand. She takes his hand to comfort him.

The injured dwarf activates a special ability -- a spell-like ability that has no components: there is no way to detect it ahead of time.

Femmu rolls a raw three to resist. The dwarf and the healer teleport away!

The Twins are scanning the area looking for danger and so don't even see the pair disappear into thin air.

Indeed, the spell-like ability the dwarf used was Teleport.

You look around the field. The ground is torn up and bloody. You are alone. So! Will you give up and allow your healer to be taken? or will you DO something about it?

[OOC: Feel free to suggest ways for Zeoll to help. He is always willing to try anything.]

The Twins notice something wrong and turn around to find the pair gone. "Well." "Now what?" they ask, having no way to possibly track someone who's teleported.

"Shall we track where the dwarf came from, and where the tiger came from?" asks Yofiel. "The cat can't be too far off yet."

After asking, she herself examines the cat tracks, and begins to follow them, but not getting too far away from the party - no more than 40-50 yards.

Asimov asks, "Is there any way to track where a teleport spell went? I mean they could have gone almost literally anywhere. While Occam's razor would suggest the Dwarf would return from whence he came he might not be originally from here and could be hundreds of miles away from here if it was the normal version or anywhere in the Wold or Jericho space if it was the Greater version."

Elron helps with the tracking effort, although he's looking for where the dwarf went as well as where it came from. And to see if the cat left tracks, because he thinks the timing of this "attack" is mighty suspicious and could have been some sort of trick of the mind.

Survival = 14, maybe enough to aid another.

Zeoll puts his magical lore to work answering the question.

Spellcraft 9
Know Arcana 18.

"I can't think of how to trrack a teleporterr, but we can use scrrying and divination to get answerrs, maybe."

Zeoll also assists with tracking. Aid Another Survival plus scent ... 32.

Mysterious tracks (DM Cayzle) 
Tuesday March 26th, 2024 9:36:15 PM


It is easy to follow the dwarf back along where he came from. Tracking the dwarf shows, before the tracks peter out, that the dwarf came from the southeast, toward the Cinnamon Valley.

It is also possible to see the tracks of the beast that attacked him. The beast’s prints begin and end nearby, as if it appeared out of nowhere, attacked, and then disappeared.

Roll Know Nature DC20 to ID the tracks: Highlight to display spoiler: {The attacker was a tiger, odd in this terrain.}

Know - Nature 10

Asimov doesn't recognize the tracks.

He asks of the trackers, "So the animal just appeared randomly nearby and disappeared and the Dwarf just appeared on the trail from Cinnamon Valley? So what did they both teleport here, fight each other and then both teleport away with Dwarf absconding with our Healer?"

The Twins frown at the tracks. "Presumably ..." "it was some sort of set up?" "A summoned animal?" "and a fake attack?"

Despite that the group saw a tiger attacking the dwarf, Mundhildur is not acquainted with tiger tracks... despite that they are clearly there, and she can follow them. "So, this big cat - right, Asimov, and twins - just showed up, and disappeared. Maybe it flew in, and can turn invisible. Or maybe it was summoned."

She listens to Zeoll, too. "So, you think you can scry Femmu? And ask divine questions?"

Knowledge nature: 4 (ugh)

(know nature = 22)

"Well, them's tiger tracks. And see here. . . It had a slight limp in it's right front paw. Tiger's ain't much found 'round these parts."

Elron wonders how someone would know to target Lady Femmu with them, and how many might be involved in the plot. He uses his ring of chameleon power to appear as much like Lady Femmu as he can. Admittedly, he can't appear to be her full stature, or fool someone familiar with her, or sound like her. But someone working from a quick description might be taken in until they're close enough to pounce on.

"I don't have any scrrying, but I can cast Legend Lorre," says Zeoll. "I would welcome ideas on how to use the spell."


Some sort of a set-up (DM Cayzle)  
Wednesday March 27th, 2024 9:20:25 PM


The Twins cleverly conclude that this was all just a set-up, and the tiger conjured for the purpose of realism in creating injuries.

Elron has a solid idea for a disguise ... though maybe it is a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted!

The party has questions. Will Zeoll's spell offer answers?

Asimov says, "Welp I got nothing in my Design Folio that can help in this situation. However if we are going to be faced with an organization that can just teleport away if we find them I can prepare up to 4 dimensional anchor ray guns but if I prepare all 4I can't prepare anything else that is a more powerful gadget. The problem with Legend Lore is we don't have Lady Femmu at hand anymore so it will take between 1 and 10 days for you to cast it Zeoll and we have no clue as to who the Dwarf is so I guess it would take weeks to ask about him but what choice do we have. I guess it is a good sign they took her alive so that theoretically she would still be alive when we find her after the days it will take to cast Legend Lore because won't the spell provide us with enough information to supposedly track Lady Femmu down again?"
