With the first plan failing the second takes shape and the Keepers gather around and Emrys blows a flat, off-key, terrible but very low note on the pipes. The world briefly shutters around you and you immediately find yourself standing in a very familiar spot.
Looking around you find yourself roughly three hundred yards from the same deep crater you had been near before. The difference time is the blood grass is rampant and has overtaken both the area and is beginning to surround and cover the crystal.
{ooc: Entire area is difficult terrain}
The crater is roughly 250ft away but far closer is an enormous Purple Worm bursts to the surface and moves to a human male with dark brown hair hanging loosely to his shoulders. Even from a distance you can see his face has an exotic quality to it with almost dragon like features.
The blood grass is thick and you are sure that there could be other things luring in the area.

Tishe’ winces at Emrys’ note but knows she couldn’t do any better. And it has the desired effect; the Keepers are back in Cinnamon Valley!
“Bright Piggies!”, she curses as the gigantic Purple Worm explodes out of the ground. “OK, Sieur Edson and Brom, you two need to have less chance of getting swallowed, so...”
The Weaver casts a Displacement spell, touching Brom, then turns and touches Edson, casting a Quickened Displacement on the Rogue. “That’s the best I can do for defense!”

You see a young human male with dark brown hair hanging loosely to his shoulders. His eyes are bright red, with white irises flecked with orange near the pupil. The skin on his hands and face is a striking blend of humanoid and draconic features, with sweeping horns and tiny scales growing from his skin and bones. He is dressed in a gentleman courtier's outfit, with gold coat, white shirt, red cravat, and black trousers. He is tall and lanky, with a wiry frame and straight posture.
He flicks his hands to his sides. Claws sprout from his fingers and his mouth fills with wicked teeth (Claws/Dragon Bite, free action). "You will learn manners, foul beast! Vahzah nos!" His teeth glow with a golden shimmer (cast quickened true strike, casting a quickened spell doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity). He lashes out against the beast with his claws and teeth.

Emrys forces himself not to be shocked by the scene ... he was expecting as much. The dragonoid in a fight with a purple worm did take him by surprise ... the possibility of witnessing that never crossed his mind!
Speaking to Daemon, he asks, "Is he a cousin of yours?"
"Hardly... though we ssshould ssave him ... he could prove ussseful."
"Agreed!" Emrys begins to craft a spell, one that is the complete antithesis to a spell he cast a short time before.

The minotaur arches a brow towards V, Truly the man had a dizzying intellect.
Barratore's ears flatten as Emrys sounds the pipe. "That, my good friend, was horrible." Barratore scans the changed landscape about them and snorts loudly. Looks like they decided to make the jump home at what could be the last second.
Barratore moves towards the battle and pulls his bow to send a single shot hurtling towards the beast. Speed 40, so move 20' forward

Brom sees the fight with the single man with the giant. He can't help but respond aloud, "Man, I bet he's havin' so much fun." But the task at hand brings Brom back from his daydream.
Brom sees Barratore race off towards the worm, and shouts "Wait fer me."
Brom doesn't bother with an arrow; frankly, Barratore was more skilled than he and it would just be wasted.

Arriving back at the sight of the previous battles it is not fully suprising that a Purple Worm is in the area. The presence of the stranger however is.
Tishe’ quickly bolsters the defenses of Brom and Edson by casting Displacement.
Ahead of the group, the stranger, Sir Royston Scalesworth IV, shows he is very capable of defending himself and tears into the worm with two claws and a bite. All three connect and purple blood splashes on the high red grass. Emrys tries to end the fight quickly by turning the beast to stone but the spell cannot take hold on such a robust animal. {Fort: 36}
Barratore comments on the lack of talent with the pipe that had just been displayed as he moves forward and fires a single arrow at the creature. The arrow just makes it though the creatures thick skin drawing more blood. Attempting a full run Edson dashes across the battlefield but the deep grass slows him. {ooc: I moved normal movement feel free to tell me where the HeroPoint gets you and I will move you or you can. Consider your turn starting form that spot next round.}
Brom calls for the others to wait as he trundles forward though the tall thick red grass. For his part Velarin launches a lighting bolt at the worm that strikes it full in the body and causes the whole creature to smoke a bit.
Having weathered the initial storm the worm attempts to bite and grab at Sir Royston . {Bite Hit: 41 | Damage: 25} Its teeth connect with a crunch and it attempts to grab and swallow {Grapple: 48} Easily catching the newcomer in its maw.

“No!” Tishe’ exclaims, “not someone else getting swallowed! Not until try...”. A few words and a bit of weaving, and Tishe’ casts an Enlarged Grease spell, but not on Sir Royston... on the Purple Worm’s mouth!
She then casts a Quickened Fly spell and also takes to the sky, 30’ straight up. She looks about for other enemy. “Brom, you have the Crystal! Don’t fight! Get to the Meteor!!”

The preliminary effects of the worm's petrification puts a smile on his face. With a violent shake, the beast easily sheds the thin shell of stone, having not a chance of taking form.
"Nail my liver to a stick!"
"Wha?!" asks Daemon.
"THAT is one robust animal!"
After a short pause, awed by the show of fortitude, Emrys finally answers the snake, "Ohh... it's an expression."
Suddenly he is again forced to witness the worm's aptitude for eating. It's sad, but at least it wasn't one of his friends. Better this man-thing be fodder than poor Edson. "Choke on his horns, Worm!"
Emrys casts a quick little necromancy that causes his skin to go pale. A ghostly, gnarled claw of a hand appears next to him. It gives the worm a provocative gesture.
(Casting Spectral Hand. Duration: 15 minutes. Deals 4 points of damage to Emrys.)

Inside the jaw of the huge worm Sir Royston continues to struggle landing a hit with claw and teeth to the creature. The attacks are effective and the creature is finished off by Brom before the others need to cast a spell or expend other energies. As the creature falls Sir Royston is deposited, un-ceremoniously back onto the ground or long red grass.
The once lush field is rife with thick blood red grass and infected vegetation that increases in thickness as it moves towards the fallen crystal. The crystal itself, or where it should be, is completely overgrown with the vegetation. Seeing the mess it is clear the instructions for the ritual will not be so easy to accomplish.
Also as the grass gets thicker it clearly gets tougher and sharper you can be fairly sure you will take some sort of damage if/when you move closer to the crystal.
Will the new arrival be friendly? What will you do about the grass? Who is hungry? Be specific please.
{ooc: If you cast a spell last round assume you have the option of stopping when the creature died.}

The man with the draconic features lands with a grunt. He lies still for a moment, then plants his hands in the dirt and pushes himself up to stand. He looks at the carcass of the purple worm, takes a deep breath in through his nose, and blows out of his mouth. "Invigorating!" He turns to Brom. "Thank you, chap. And your fellows." He waves to the rest of the party. "Anything that keeps me from being swallowed is a blessing. What brings you out here? Are you investigating this blasted grass and the humming crystals? But where are my manners..." He snaps his fingers and a puff of magic whisks away the blood and viscera from the fight (prestidigitation). The man gives a languid bow like a court attendant. "I am Sir Royston Scalesworth, the fourth of my line. Sword of Ffloy. Baronet Extraordinaire of Fargunia. At your service."
When he rises, you notice he has a gold holy symbol of Ffloy on his lapel.

Barratore moves forward, stowing his bow. He catches some of the man's name. Did he say baron and what in the Wold was someone from Fargunia doing way out here? Sure the country was boring as sand and beyond odd and as about as much fun as poking yourself in the eye, but those there, tended to stay there unless declared outcast. Barratore had no intentions on visiting, but being linked to an outclass could be problematic if he ever had the need.
Barratore moves closer, "I am Barratore Steelwind of the Starlight clan, collectively we are the Defenders of the Vale and we are putting a stop to the red grass." The Minotaur fighter, clad in full plate with a sword as large as he is, gives the man a glance over, "If you're not an outcast, you can help."
Turning to the others, 8 say we fly in. Brom and I drop in and create a perimeter, then you join and start the ritual, while we hold it off.
Barratore pulls a fly potion and readies for the go

V holds his spell as the creature falls
"Let us begin, time is short, and the weeds likely summon reinforcements as we speak. Sorry for the short intro master Scalesworth, but we are on a bit of a time line trying to save the Wold and all. Brom, You have the crystal and will deal with the resonance field. Edson, you have the nimble and agile job. The rest of us will try and prevent the ceremony from being stopped. I will summon our musician and give him the ability to fly and stay above the weeds. We have him for a short time, so make it count."
V drops down to just above the ground, and takes a second to begin casting one of his more powerful spells, and at the completion of the casting, V calls forth to the Wold. I wish to summon a Satyr! (using summon natures ally 4 via limited wish). Upon the appearance of the Satyr, V will use his next action to cast fly upon him, and instruct him as to his purpose. "I need you to fly over the crater, and while aloft, play the pipes as wonderfully as possible to prevent the weeds from fully engulfing the area, and to hold them at bay. We will protect you to the best of our abilities."

Flying closer, she bows from the waist. “Many Shadows, Sieur Royston, Tishe’, Spellweaver, and member of the WLA”, she ends with a nod to both of thier WLA pins. The Dragon Disciple sees an unremarkable short, plain human woman in light airy clothing, her mouse brown hair and brown eyes in a tanned face.
“We are expecting more monsters soon, as well as other dangers. We have to keep the Satyr, Brom, and Edson free to do thier things. Can we get some league help?”
She flies over to Edson, casting a Fly spell on the Rogue, Makes it easier for you to get to the incense locations.”

"Yeah, been down one myself. Those things eat anything." He say. Barratore gves Royston the reason for being here. "We gotta stop that blood grass from over-runnin' everything."
He turns to the others. "Can't fly. Unless you guys gotta another potion or a spell, I gotta take the long route."
Either way, Brom prepares himself for sonic blasts from the crystal like the ones he took last time.

"I wonder if we can simply burn away all the bloodweed around the crystal first then fly Brom directly into position. Or if we wish to try a more devious scheme, and try to avoid more purple worms, I could take Brom and a few others into the Ethereal realm and approach the crystal completely unnoticed and unfettered like ghosts in the night."

{ooc: Emrys, yes things have happened very quickly. You guess of about 15 minutes since fighting the crystal elemental feels about right. A lot is going on in a short timeframe.}
Royston cleans himself off and makes the appropriate introductions and asks about what has brought the group to this place. Barratore greets him and explains they are putting a stop to the red grass. Brom sympathizes with being down the gullet of one of the worms and contemplates how they will get to the crystal. Tishe’ flies closer and introduces herself, outlines their plan before casting fly on Edson.+
Emrys suggest burning the grass and then flying Brom to position.
Still a good distance from the meteor the team assesses its options. The grass in front of you gets thicker both in amount and size of the plants. Where you stand the grass is two to two and a half feet high, closer in… well be glad your not a halfling. In places it is not so much grass as vines thick enough to almost be the trunks of small trees. The edges glint as though tipped in red steel and the closer you get to the crater the more the grass seems to move, almost writhing where it covers the large crystal. Despite this you can still see that the crystal pulsates with power below the red vegetation.
{ooc: There are many ways you can approach this and I am not going to provide two much guidance other than do what feels right and see what happens. Attacks, spells or really anything you come up with is fair game. If you like you can even make a simple check even. Examples would be STR for pulling grass away from crystal or INT for untangling a mess of plants.}

Edson, Brom, and Tishe’ covered by the sorceress, Velarin, Emrys, and the winged Sir Royston taking care of themselves, and Barratorre’s potion. Yep. Good.

Barratore downs the potion and quickly realizes that his ability to flit about like V and Tishe is non existent. No, he would move towards the crystal, steadily gaining altitude as the spell naturally allows and once over the location. Barratore would enact his Enlargement spell and touch down to begin pulling weeds from the ground to clear them.
"Emrys, save that in case we need to get back out eh?"
"I'm going in to clear some room. We need the crystal not buried and all." Barratore flies in to do battle with the grass

Emrys remembers that Tishe had cast Resist Energy on Brom. He decides to do the same with Edson and then Barratore when next given the chance. He speaks a few words of power and his spectral hand touches Edson on the shoulder.

Sir Royston heals himself (18) and stands akimbo studying the scene. "I can take to the air, 'tis true." He bends over slightly, flexing his back muscles, and a pair of golden dragon wings sprout from his back. You can see his coat is fashioned with slits to allow the wings to move without tearing the fabric. "If you fellows don't mind, I would like to assist. I can commanded to assist the good and valiant. I can cast a wall of fire spell around the satyr. I can make it just 5 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall, which would effectively blanket him in fire that would be harmless to him."

Emrys also does something else ... he regretfully removes a slightly crooked broom from his witchy haversack. He sighs thinking how clichéd this mode of travel is.

"More the merrier and stuff." He says to Royston.
Brom nods to V, and moves to help Barratore remove the grass. "You gotta a promising future as a landscaper." He say chiding Barratore as he pulls the grass out.

{ooc: my first roll was unintentional}
Assessing the next task the group gets into action. Emrys casts a spell protecting Edson from sonic damage with his spectral hand spell. Finally he removes his flying broom as Daemon makes fun of him.
Velarin suggests Brom assist Barratire in clearing the weeds flies higher and then gives himself the ability to see invisible.
Tishe’ takes the moment of quiet to cast Fly on Brom and then waits for the others to take action.
Royston heals himself and then sprouts a pair of golden dragon wings form his back. He then suggests that he can help protect the satyre by creating a wall of fire around it.
Barratore drinks a potion to allow him to fly and he an Brom move towards the crystal. As they move Barratore enacts his enlarge person spell as they fly.
About ten feet from the crystal something clearly goes wrong. All the flying party members quickly fall to the ground and you can feel the magic that had been bolstering you quickly drop out of existence. As they hit the ground the crystal pulses with negative energy and those who just abruptly fell from the sky are buffeted with pain. {Negative Energy Damage: 14 Brom and Barratore} Landing in the grass the pair find that the grass is indeed sharp and resilient as it scrapes and abrades their skin. {Damage: 3 Adamantium for overcoming DR}
Edson was caught daydreaming and does not fly over with the others.

Barratore is about to reply to Brom's quip when his flying potion fails. Instead of something clever, he gets out "Buuaaahhh!" The loss of flight, is sudden, but the minotaur proves himself to be a rather agile creature when the need arises. He twists over and lands squarely on his hooves. (acrobatics 27) The energy blast stings, as does the grass, but not overly so. Though if the negative energy continues, things could get very interesting. Barratore pulls his sword and sees about making that clearing his spoke of earlier. Not bothering with his shield, he sweeps into the grass.

V winces slightly as the pair fall into the rather deadly looking grass, well deadly for some perhaps. He held firm that Brom and Barratore were not going to meet Gargul by grass. The elf supresses a chuckle and refocuses, "Anti-magic field. Afraid I don't have a Wall of Force at hand to aid us."
"Tishe, Emrys, how close and how long does the Saytr need to be and play. Does the ritual say?"
"Hmm, let's give this a go shall we?" V twists his fingers quickly and gives a spin of his wrist and with a nod calls a shimmering wall of ice into existence. The shimmering wall is not solid, but a line of energy blazing with intense cold from on side. It extends (down the 19/20 line starting at K until it strikes the anti magic zone. Cold side 19 Everything within 10' Dmg 13, within 20' 7 Dmg)

Nearing the crystal a blast of energy pulses out from the crystal. Then as if on cue, Brom's fly fails. Like Barratore, he lands on his feet. Brom draws his sword and begins to cut the hard, steel-like vegetation.

(Spellcraft: 46, natural 20)
"Antimagic Field!" is all he can blurt out after watching his friends fall from the sky. He recognizes it immediately. "We should have already started the damnable ritual!"
He quickly begins to help Tishe arrange the incense. He then flings open the book and quickly scans the instructions about where, when and how close the pipe player should be." (Perception: 19, Knowledge [Arcana]: 39.)
DM Ryan - Weeding the Garden| Tactical Maps and Artwork Wednesday May 16th, 2018 11:28:21 AM Velarin, like Emrys notices the anti-magic field. He questions how long the pipes will need to be played as he summons a wall of ice into existence. Its shimmers forth flattening the grass beneath it but it does not appear to kill the grass with cold as it arrives on the material plain. The wall stops abruptly for two reason as it approaches the crystal meteor. First the anitmagic field and secondly the density and height of the grass. {ooc: If not for the field I would still rule that those squares are occupied.} Sir Royston suggests some other barriers that he could summon to guard the crystal if needed.
Emrys determines that the pipes do not need to be played for a long period, certainly, less than a minute in total. That along with the other items should complete the ritual as instructed.
Barratore and Brom mange to maintain their dignity as they both land on their feet among the thick difficult grass. Barratore hacks away with his sword, each strike slicing a path to allow access to the crystal. It will take some work but this will work. Brom also works with his sword to clear the grass. {ooc: Going to need some rolls, you can roll this rounds attack with your next post as well as your next action.}
Tishe’ and Edson are clearly distracted by the pretty colors and do nothing.
As the group continues to work on the ritual those in the back quickly notice a new complication has appeared out of thin air. Near a tree to the north four figures have popped into existence, clearly teleporting in from another location. The larger figures appear to be large moving metal men, as though a giant suit of armor had some to life, they stride forward with large heavy steps. The smaller figures appear to be two elves dressed in long green coats with green pants. Both are flying twenty feet above the ground and both have clearly been affected by the bloodgrass in some way, one of them yells.
“Away form our crystal or die where you stand. The bloodgrass must be allowed to spread.”

Tishe’ pulls her head out of the ritual book. “I’ve been reading this for days, ever since the Manfri gave it to us, and I have no idea how long the satyr needs to play; long enough is my best guess.”
She looks at the arriving creatures and quips; “ and here comes more expected guardians.” She wastes no time in words, but flies to line up the two elves and then casts a Lightning Bolt followed by a Quickened Lightning Bolt!
“Hey metal head! Back off or I’ll turn you to slag!” Tishe’ studies the opponents, hoping to figure out what they are as she taunts them to remove thier attention from Brom and Edson.

Emrys is really beginning to tire of this. This madness needs to stop. He wants nothing more than to complete the 'gosh darn' ritual and finish this.
He grits his teeth as he speaks eldritch words of power. His fist turns to a coiled thorny stump and he then rams it into the ground. There is a low rumble within the earth that travels toward the battle field. From the ground springs forth a thorny wall of thick, prickly bramble ... creating a barrier between his group and the charging metal men.

He continues on trying to set up the ritual.

Tishe’ positions herself so the half-elfs are in a line and fires off two quick lightning bolts. Each of the casters avoids some of the damage from one bolt. {Saves: 17, 31 and 32, 19}
Brom begins to work himself up and advances on the closest of the iron giants. Barratore on the other hand continues working on the grass and is making some headway as the blood red grass starts, very slowly to fall.
Velarin dismisses his energy wall wonder exactly why the powers that be made it so much shorter then expected. He flies forward {ooc: I am assuming you meant a lower case t for the location, the upper case would be 80 or so feet away} Taping deep in his reserve of magic he issues forth a mighty cone of frigid temperatures twice. The second mage avoids some of the damage but the first is frozen solid and smashes as he hits the ground.
Emrys calls forth a wall of thorns separating part of the battlefield before returning to his ritual. {ooc: There are upper and lower case letters. I am assuming you meant the lower case so I did my best. You posted after Brom had moved so I guess he is in the wall?}
Sir Royston advances on the remaining half-elf and fires off several scorching rays. Two hit but, while badly bloodied, are not enough to kill the half-elf.
The remaining elf does not even seem to notice his partner is dead or that he is gravely injured. Instead he simply raises and arm at Tishe’ an a stream of magic missiles fly towards her. {Maximized Magic Missle: 25 Damage]
Both of the iron giants move towards the crystal. The western most one pushes itself part way though the wall of thorns only to stop directly in front of an unhappy barbarian.

Emrys understands everything about the ritual intimately ... but there is an aspect, deep within his subconscious, that doesn't understand it at all ... let's give this aspect a name, 'Stephen'.
Emrys has read the book, outlining the ritual's function and the various components, only once because that's all he needed. Stephen however questions what the incense is used for and why Edson, a nimble fellow, must handle the smoldering herbs. Why not just burn the herbs in a bowl. Why must Edson dance around with it? What is its purpose?
Emrys knows exactly what the small crystal (that came with the book) is used for. However Stephen thought the anchor crystal was the crystal meant to touch the meteor crystal; which creates a discordant resonance field. If that is true, then Stephen wonders what the small crystal is used for?
Emrys resents the fact he couldn't summon the Satyr ... thankfully Velarin can. On this rare occasion, both Emrys and Stephen understand the function of the panpipes.
So Emrys begins to wonder ... is there anything he needs to do for this ritual? All the assignments have been given to others. Both Emrys and Stephen are certain of that ... so what is there left for him to do?
Emrys eyes the golem stuck in his Wall of Thorns, so he summons forth a Creeping Doom to take care of him. Great masses of centipedes come crawling up out of the ground and begin to envelop the golem.
(Casting Creeping Doom on the Golem stuck in the wall. Summons four swarms of empowered centipedes. Duration: 15 rounds. Damage of each swarm: 4d6. Poison Fort DC: 27, but he is immune.)
(Damage to the Golem: 14 + 18 + 16 + 10 = 58)

As expected Tishe’s magic missles spin the half-elf in place before he does an almost comical fall, chin first, the ground. She continues on and fires a lightning bolt that slams into Iron Golmes. {Reflex 15 and 8} The energy crackles over the creatures and you see their movements slow. Sir Royston follows this attack up with more magic missiles that slam into the closest golem.
Unphased and unconcerned Barratore continues his assult on the grasses surrounding the crystal and tow of his strikes manage to cut down more of the imbedding grass.
Both Emrys and some other being, Stephen, are unsure as to the nature of the ceremony given the abstract way it seems to be unfolding. The universe at large regrest this abstract nature but acknowledges that sometimes it is the way of things. There is really no way of knowing if placing the incense in a bowl of moving it to more difficult areas {probably with some sort of dex check} will aid Barratore in cutting the grasses so the crystal can be applied. There is also no way of knowing if doing so before the Wold as a whole is ready will have the desired effect.
What is known is that multiple mound of centipedes are further impeding the golem stuck in the wall. The centipedes do cause damage but as suspected the poison is ineffective.
Brom is less cereberal then Emrys and is not looking for every detail of a complicated Wold wide event. Instead he lays into the golem in front of him with his adamantine sword. Sparks fly with each hit denting the golem and clearly preventing him from moving immediately to the crystal.
Still flying Edson continues to rain arrows down on, lets say, the closest Golem.
The golem stuck in the wall attempts to push though but fails to make any headway against both the wall and the centipedes.
The other golem, slowed by the bolt of electricity, swings once at Brom connecting squarely with the barbarian. {Hit: 44 Damage: 26}
Back near Barratore the crystal pulses yet again with negative energy. {Damage: 17 to Barratore}

Sir Royston bends down slightly, then leaps into the air, "Huzzah!", clapping his wings powerfully to rise above the ground (move action, Fly check 27, rise 30'). He comes to a halt in midair (Hover feat). "Once again, with feeling! Fus Ronaaz!" (standard action, magic missiles). Additional bolts of energy strike the nearest golem (blue).
ooc: 16 force damage, no save.

The golem strikes back and Brom uses his sword to partially deflect the blow, but the force is still enough to feel. "My kinda fight. Just as Domi intended. No Magic, to tricks, just skill and weapons alone."

V surveys the battle unfolding before him, and realizes that the time has come to summon the Satyr. He would like to clear a path in the weeds for Barratore, but Barratore's close proximity to the antimagic field would negate his spell.The ritual must begin, and the Satyr is an integral part of that.
V begins casting limited wish, using it to duplicate a 4th level Summon natures ally spell, to summon a Satyr. V hopes for more than one, in case one falls, but is slightly disappointed that only one appears. V summons the creature to appear at J20, which he feels is the safest location. Near Edson, Tishe, and Emrys, and as far from Golems as possible while being close enough to the others for the ritual to occur.
"You have your satyr, begin the ritual! We will try and hold them off."
V considers also summoning a very large earth elemental, but is unsure what effect the crystal will have on it. The last thing the group needs is for his elemental to join the bad guys.

nother negative energy wave pushes into Barratore, he grits he teeth and snorts sharply. The pain was tolerable, it was more of a wasting feeling, pulling at his bones and muscle. That voice in your heaf that tells you, now is a good time to rest. Barratore had been ignoring that voice for most of his life

Tishe’ waves off Edson’s concern, but returns with her own. “Sieur Edson, put your bow away and grab the incense. The ritual has started and we need that stuff placed!”
“Brom, quit playing around and get that Crystal placed. We will take care of the golems!”
Of course, she has no idea how to do that! The golems are both slowed because of her lightning bolt, and the only spell she has that doesn’t have spell resistance is...

The wizards lay dead and the golems are either engaged or heading for the crystal. Sir Royston takes to the air, flying closer to Tishe’ and launches more magic missiles that strike the blue golem. Brom continues his assault on the red golem but only one of his swings finds its mark sparking and slicing the iron.
Surveying the battle Velarin realizes that the time has come to summon the Satyre and begin playing the called for music. The creature, looking slightly confused, appears near Tishe’ and Sur Royston. He calls to the others “"You have your satyr, begin the ritual! We will try and hold them off."
Still flying in relative safety Edson lets lose more arrows. The tough exterior of the golem repels all but one of the projectiles that lodges in a joint near the knee. Tishe’ waves off Edson’s concerns asks him to grab the incense. Searching her brain she manages to come up with another spell to hamper the golem in the thorns. A shower of glitter explodes coloring the wall and the golem. {Save: 26} Sadly the creature is not blinded by this spell as was hoped.
After being bathed in negative energy for a second time Barratore grits his teeth and snorts. The pain is not so bad but he dislikes the diminishing effect. Dismissing the idea of resting he continues to lay into the grass blanketing the crystal. Slice after slice rains down and he is making good headway.
From the corner of his eye Barratore sees movement, it appears the grass is going to fight back. Two larger sections of thick vines, as think as Brom’s arms, lash out from each side at Barratore. {Hit: 29, 34| Damage 19 | Miss} One of the vines finds its mark opening a gash in Barratores side.
The golmes continue their assault. The blue golem, slowed but strong, finally manages to push free of the wall of thorns while pushing though the mass centipedes. The red, also slowed, swings with a mighty fist at Brom. {Hit: 41 | Damage: 33} The fist clearly would have connected if not for Tishe's displacement spell.
The red grass around the crystal seems to sway more and more as things clearly build to a climax, for better or for worse. With only one person working on the grass things will clearly take longer but Barratore is a mighty warrior and is making good headway despite being alone in the effort.

Brom is relishing the battle, but the shout of Tishe causes him to briefly think about his task. Get the crystals together. 'How does Brom do that?' He thinks. And he thinks. And he thinks. Then a plan forms in the battle crazed mind of the Barbarian.
Brom flies straight up 40-ft (two moves). At his height he looks down at the crystal and laughs. Crystal causin' problems, Brom got somethin' fer crystal.

“Right tactic, insufficient application”, mutters Tishe’ to herself, and gleefully laughs as Brom and Edson begin to take their places for the ritual. “Sieur Satyr, Sieur Emrys has a set of pan pipes, we require you to play them to this tune”, and she hands the sheet music from the ritual book to the fay with only the smallest amount of blushing.
“Sieur Royston, can you assist Barratorre with the RedWeeds? Sieur Emrys and I can keep the golems weaving to our pattern until the RedWeed is overcome. Then you may come to our rescue!”
Tishe’ flies closer to the Crystal and at an angle to the Blue Golem until she has a good bead on the Red Golem. “Luckily, reapplication is a specialty of a Sorcerer!” She casts Glitterdust at the Red Golem, and then gauging if the first one was effective, casts anotherQuickened Glitterdust!

The attack from the actual plants, catches him a bit off guard and he pays for it with a bruise in the side. Barratore advances another 5' and continues hacking and slashing into the plants. A glance up and he knows, soon he will need to deal with the golems as the others fall into the actual ritual. He grins through some of the pain and endorphins flood his blood stream at the sight of a dive bombing Brom.
He also calls out to Tishe as she fires off a plan, his mood bolstered due to Brom. "Oh i see how it is. Sieur Emrys and Sieur Roy even the flaoggin saytr is Siuer satyr." Barratore doind his best Tishe impression
"but not the minotaur, Oh no, just plain, no respect, Barratore. When I'm done trimming the verge, you and I are having words"
In Barratore's head, this is all fun and games. The real Wold however, does not always get the minotaur's jests as they often come when he's in some sort of lethal scenario

Seeing that Edson is on his way to the incense, the witch takes up the incense and rubs his hand against one side of the incense bundle. The temperature of his hand becomes very hot and the herbs begin to smolder and smoke, like lighting his pipe. (He's using Rose's Temperature Control to light the incense.)
Emrys reaches up to hand it off to Edson as soon as he arrives.

Edson have stowed his bow grabs the incense and makes his way toward the crystal, landing just outside the anti-magic field. Brom, hearing Tishe’ leaps into the air flying 40 feet straight up, away form the golem.
Brom when you get the crystal in your hands Highlight to display spoiler: { The crystal vibrates violently as if trying to get away, convulsing in your hands. Make a Str or Dex check please. }
Laughing as the barbarian launches himself into the air Tishe’ calls to the satyr asking him to take the pan pipes. Tearing out the music from the instructions she hands that to the satyr as well before turing to the golems. She locks her eyes on the red golem and glitter a cloud explodes around the construct. {Will Save: 16} Covered in glitter the now sparkling creature is clearly blind. Acting quickly she attempts to reapply to the blue golem as well as the spell was ineffective last time. {Will Save: 7} This time the glitter clearly covers better and the second golem is blinded.
In the thick of things The Honerable Sieur Barratore Steelwind lashes back at the thick vines that had struck at him. He manages to slice one of them clear in two and in the process takes out more of the regular red grass from around the crystal. Sir Royston salute Tishe’ and flies to assist Barratore with the troubling red grass.
Emrys givs the pan pipes to the slightly less confused Satyre and gives him more instruction this time in Sylvan. The Satyre nods, looks at the sheet music and takes a moment to study what is to be played. He looks at Emrys with a simple question “Stand here and play?”
Velarin bemoans the fact that so many of the obsticles are difficult for a wizard to deal with. Getting creative he summons forth an earth elemental that immediately attacks the blue golem connecting with two mighty blows.
Blinded the red Golems trudge vaguely in the direction of the crystal, moving very slow. The blue golem swings at the elemental, well at least in the direction from which it was just attacked. {Hit: 29 / 38 Damage: 19 / 34 Concealment: fail, fail} If the golem had not been blind both blows clearly would have connected.
The remaining vine again lashes out at Barratore but its attack misses the minotaur.

Emrys answers the satyr in sylvan, "You should move forward as you play, but maintain a safe distance from the combatants, but don't enter the field of the red bloodweed." Emrys then points to a large rock (v20) that could provide him some safe cover.

Replying to Edson, he says, "Don't worry, my friend, if the worst happens, we'll just bring you back ... again! Third time's a charm, after all."
Emrys looks to the well bring of those in the thicket. It's hard to tell from this distance, too many obstacles are in the way. He then turns to the satyr once again, "Good sir, my friend here, Daemon the viper, will guard you as you play ... you have no need to fear him."
The witch then takes his broom and casts the spell ... the inanimate broom suddenly springs to life. Emrys mounts it and takes to the skies over the battle. He climbs 30ft up and forward. He dreads the golems, there isn't much he can do against them.

Sir Royston lands next to Barratore (just outside the antimagic) and gives a quick bow. "If you please." He plants his feet, stands akimibo, and takes a deep breath. His eyes glow a bright golden color and he shouts. "Yol Toor Shul!" A cone of golden flame erupts from his mouth.

The Elemental takes two more enormous swings at the blue Golem. (hit ac 41, 36. Damage 14, 18). If the Blue Golem still stands, V sends a flurry of 5 magic missiles at it for 25 damage. If not, then the red Golem is the target.

Tishe’ jerks and focuses on Barratorre, “But I always say... oh, I guess I don’t. I’m sunbaked! My apologies Sieur Barratorre, I did not mean to impinge your honor, sweetie!”
The golems look good being all sparkly, and since they are slowed and blind, it looks unlikely that they will be able to affect the battle.

The damage caused by Emrys’s swarms seems to have been delayed but now it can be seen that they are causing some pitting in the large creature.
Edson retrieves the incense and moves towards the crystal, landing just before the anti-magic shell would have sent him crashing to the ground. He is in position to give it a try next turn. Near where Edson landed Barratore hacks the attacking vine away with his first swing before landing a few more blows on the grass itself. At this point the grass on the east side of the crystal has growen very thin, not enough to make a clear shot but very close. Sir Royston give a quick bow before planting his fear, taking a deep breath and issuing forth a gout of golden flame at the crystal. The flame roils and a high pitches sound, like a scream, comes form the grass for while it resists fire it cannot resist that much.
As the smoke clears you see that the grass further from the crystal has blackened and that closer is singed and will be easier to damage in the future.
Brom calls for a shout as to when to attack but the crystal has not been cleared quite enough at this point. Brom Highlight to display spoiler: { You should be able to dive at the crystal next turn. Give me an unarmed attack roll with your next post. I will wave any fly check. }
Velarin’s elemental slams its mighty fists into the blue golem and it teeters, almost falling. Moments later five magic missles slam into the construct knocking it from its feet with an earth shaking crash. So heave you can see that the fall even snapped off pieces of the difficult to damage grass.
Tishe’ wisely stays out of the remaining golmes reach and prepares another lighting bolt for when the creature speeds up. The remaining golem shakes its head slowly as its eyes become clear, it has not however speed up. Tishe’ Highlight to display spoiler: { The golem will speed up on its next turn so you can change your action in your next post if you like or just let it ride. }
The satyr, protected by the oversized snake, begins to play the haunting melody it found on the music. As the music begins to syncopate and really beging to flow the grass around the satyr is pressed flat to the ground. As he plays this effect moves closer and closer, almost as though you can see the sound of the song radiating from the player. Again near the satyre the grass begins to glide subtly away from the music that is being played. {ooc: With a +19 I am just giving you a pass on that check for yesterday please roll for the next post though}

Barratore gives the newbie a nod, "That was pretty impressive stuff Friend." Barratore strikes again, laying into the grass with nearly 8' of steel.

The satyr plays the most haunting song as he makes his way to the large rock Emrys had pointed out. Guarded by Daemon, the satyr continues walking to the rock as he plays. (Perform: 36)
(The satyr started walking toward v20 last round. I don't know if there is any movement penalties on him.)
Emrys continues his flight over the battlefield (30ft higher, now 60ft in the air, and 30ft further west) and he has a much better view of what's going on. He can bow see Brom and he wants to make sure he is at his full strength before touching the meteor. He begins to speak words of power and his spectral hand goes racing forward to deliver the touch. Emrys can't help but frown with disappointment to the particularly weak results.
(Casting Cure Critical Wounds on Brom, with Spectral Hand, empowered by Spiritual Healing. Cures 4d12+15: 3+3+9+3+15 = 33 points of healing)
Having not directed the swarms to go elsewhere, they continue to gnaw away at the fallen golem.

After Brom becomes partially healed from Emrys' cure spell ... on the Lygn River, along the Emerald Kingdom and Culverwood border, a school of fish go belly up on the surface of the water.

V directs his elemental to move around the wall of brambles and bugs, and to engage the red Golem and kill it. (By my reckoning, the elemental should get to L,M,N 16,17,18 with a move and a move).
realizing that his options are limited at this point, V can only hope to slow down the Golem, or damage it with indirect magic. He therefore casts Black tentacles, centered at I 9, and radiating out 20' from that spot in every direction. (Should encompass 1/2 the Golem, and not Brom, CMB grapple check of 26, 6 pts damage and grappled if successful)
"[B]Hey Brom, stay out of the tentacles, but keep him in it for a moment until my elemental gets there to relieve you![B/]

DM Ryan - Weeding the Garden| Tactical Maps and Artwork Thursday May 24th, 2018 10:21:43 AM Velarin directs his elemental to follow the golem and, like a good general, erects another barrier in the path of the golem in a form of black tentacles that writh from the ground battering the construct and causing it to stumble.
Receiving a compliment from Barratore Sir Royston pivots and launches more bolts of magical force into the remaining golem. The golem teeters before crashing to the ground with a deafening crash.
Still hacking at the plants Barratore signals for Brom to hold his position for a few more seconds. A virtual artist with his blade both fresh and singed grass begins to fall, the is a glimpse of exposed crystal but only for a moment before one finaly thick vine wraps up to cover the area in a protective grasp. The mighty Barratore can almost see the vine quake as he finishes he follows through on this last blow.
With things going the Keepers way Emrys sends healing energies to Brom bolstering him greatly for his attempt to bring the crystals together. As always this healing has a price and in the Culverwoods a school of fish now floats belly up.
Emrys guides the satyre forward with Daemon as its protector. The grass parts out of the satyre’s way as the music seems to push back against the magic in the grass. Rising and falling it seems the grass close to the musician and spreading is actually becoming a less vibrant red. Further, now that the music has been playing for a moment the party feels buoyed by the song, refreshed as though waking from a good nap.
It is down to the Keepers vs the grass. At this point the fight has clearly tipped in favor of the Keepers.

Maintaining his flight (Fly DC 24), Brom waits for the moment when he sees the opening he is looking for. "There." He says and begins his bombing run. Coming in hard and as fast as the spell will allow, Brom makes solid contact with the crystal (using surprise accuracy to boost his attack, AC 51).

Edson was struck dumb for a second due to the satyr's song. He shook the cobwebs and held up the lit incense.
He moves closer to the crystal following behind Brom and Barratore, hoping the incense smoke might irritate the weeds and push them back.

Not one to sit on his laurels, Barratore presses his attack against the vines and grass about the crystal. Starting a bit rough with his initial stroke, the fighter recovers somewhat and slides his sword through tangled weeds a pair of times. The Dragon person heads to the and Barratore spares a glance just as the Black Tentacles spell erupts about it. He puts that threat from his mind, it was done

Like a rocket Brom swoops down and, despite the vibrations and protestations of the object in his hands, slams the small crystal into the meteor. As the crystals touch the music from the pipes transforms into a cacophony of every instrument ever made playing a different and earthshaking note as though calling the primal force of music as a weapon. There is a blinding flash and those closest are flung back 22 feet from the meteor. {no damage} The flash of light strobes several times and between each flash there is just enough time for your eyes to make out impressions of what has happened.
Flash one, you see the red grass near the meteor blown flat back to the ground, not stirring.
Flash two, a wave of energy shoots out from the crystal killing more and more of the red grass in an ever increasingly large circle.
Flash three, the ground shakes as deep red roots contract and wither beneath the Wold.
Flash floor, another wave of energy, maybe from a different crystal being broken, pass though the area. As it passes over you you feel refreshed, rejunivated ever so slightly. {+2HP healing}
Finally as the lights return to normal you see the meteor shattered, three large pieces resting at the edges of the crater and a fine dust over the rest of the area near where it was. Intuition tells you that the three large shards represent the three aspects of the Sargrass.
After the noise of battle, explosion of the crystal and everything else that has gone on the Wold is not quiet except for the quiet song coming from the pan pipes.

Brom makes contact and the Wold goes nuts. Flashes, maddening noise, then nothing but the sound of the satyr playing. Brom is stands and looks about for a moment or two before shouting "Ya!!! while raising his hands to the sky.
He quickly looks for the golems. He hopes there is something left to fight.

Barraore, ever ready for the next challenge, looks about for one. Seeing nothing but dead grass, his friends, and a shattered crystal, he allows himself to relax.
Slapping a large hand on Royston's back. "Not bad. Not bad at all. Definitely seems like you can handle yourself. You thinking you might want to be hanging with us for a while to see what kind of excitement we find? We do seem to find quite a bit. Anyways, you're welcome to come along with us if you want to.

Quickly, she examines her Steelgrass Ring, her arcane bond, to see if the reddish sickness is gone from it too.
“I’d like to get the Crystal, if there is any left”, she says in response to Barratorre. “As a memento of the Keepers and rememberance of my beloved Sargrass.” She pauses and says serenely, “Talki fresal, dondit likki”

Emrys feels the recoil from the first pulse and is blown backwards on his broom. After about two or three awkward tumbles he is able to regain control (Fly skill: 33). Thankfully he is able to safely negotiate the following flashes.
For a very brief moment between the pulses, the thin vale between realities is partially lifted. Unseen by all but Emrys, a translucent, deformed behemoth strikes the meteor with his titan-sized hammer. Emrys recognizes him as, "Monster!"...one of the four aspects of Emrys. He then suddenly notices the other two Emrys' flying next to him. On the right, the flamboyant Emrys the Muse, in his typical exotic fashion, is still playing the pan pipe. On the left, Emrys the Master is simply looking on with grim satisfaction ... his magic quill records the event in a floating tome. The reunion is brief as they vanish as quickly as they materialized.
Emrys snaps himself out of the multi-dimensional distraction and flies back down to Daemon and the satyr. "Well done ... well done indeed!" (in sylvan). Then looking to the viper ... "You too, Daemon!"
With his feet firmly on the ground again, he senses the Great Root is pleased. His mind is filled with sudden flashes of ancient trees, viewed by countless eyes. A wellspring of life, gnawing consumption and deathly decay ... and the blood at the center of it all ... is at balance again.

Buffeted by the shock waves, V makes a shaky landing near the others and attempts to make sense of what happened. He looks about the battlefield, and sees the red grass dead or returned to normal, and the crystal shattered in the parts.
"It appears that our task is complete. Hopefully the rest of the Wold's heroes are successful as well. It appears that I can dismiss our helpers." unless their are objections, V will dismiss the elemental and the Satyr to their home planes.
"I agree Tishe'. If their are shards of the crystal that can be easily transported, we should take them with us."
"Well, what now? Do I summon the mansion, or do we want to try and check in on what is left of the Valley...Or the Wold for that matter?

The threat has ended and Brom stands with the others. "That was kind'a fun." He says. And echoing Barratore's invite to the dragon mage, Brom says "And don't forget the fun. We always something fun. But the fun always ends too soon. But hey if like findin' trouble, fun, an' fightin' ta keep the people safe, we're yer peeps."
