DM StevenVdB - A banquet to remember Friday February 7th, 2020 5:49:29 PM
With no one shouting for rescue, no mines to explore, no dragons to slay... and for once the Wold turning peacefully, the Tree Wardens make good use of the free moments.
After his visit to the Catacombs, Atlas is no where to be seen. (feel free to conclude your CC purchases when you are able to. We'll allow the items to be added to your character sheet immediately)
Plateau City: Armand, Owen, Vamir, Elyngael, Rattlebones and 'Osul all went to Plateau City before making rendezvous again in Tree. Each had their own business to attend to and once concluded each of them travels back to Tree... each having their own way of transportation. 'Osul travels even by tree hopping! (please consider all done and update your sheets in not done already.)
Humble's Ford: On his way back Owen makes a stop in Humble's Ford. Of course he is well received as they already know what the Wardens did!! Odd perhaps... nah!... word of the Wardens' heroics quickly spread the valley... once again and they all quickly end up in the Dancing Pig enjoying their Wold-wide assortment of ales, beers, liquors, wines, whiskeys, rums, and every other tasty drink one could imagine!
We heard there's quite a festival planned back at your home?!" the Inn keeper says, "I heard bards from all over the valley are making their way over there to enjoy the festivities... festivities in your name lad! Don't be late for your own party... harharhah... "
hmm... did they plan a surprise party behind your back?!?
Tree:
Neshi and Finnan traveled back with the wagon hauling the dragon hoard. While Neshi immediately retreated in his forging pocket and only returned from it when all things were finished. Finnan explores Tree in awe...
Finnan finds there's quite a bustling atmosphere of fun and laughter around here. Neshi too realizes the place is far more active than usual. He patrols the area and notices bards, magicians and entertainers from all over the continent flocking in!
In the following days the rest of the Wardens arrive back in Tree... by the time everyone is back the place is almost bursting with activity. There are food stands, pony rides, pop-up bars, cotton candy. There's even a full scale circus that has set up its huge tent just outside town. Clowns, acrobats, entertainers of all sorts walk around town inviting people to come and watch the circus.
All this it seems in celebration of their Tree Wardens... their heroes...

Taking Finan around to wander the carnival, Neshi introduces him to those he knows and samples many of the food stuffs as if feels like he hasn't eaten well in days....
At some point during this time Neshi sits down with Osul and talks to him about the greater magic fang spell (what level +??) and then has him cast the spell once on his two front paws. immediately following those castings he casts permanency on his front paws to make the spell stick.
Thanking Osul for the spells he makes it known that Neshi will be willing to use his permanency spell for anything the Wardens might need.
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Saturday February 8th, 2020 10:09:20 AM
Armand observes the goings on at the base of the Tree and decides to venture forth from their headquarters to see what's up. He remembers the last time there was a gathering at the Tree from a large caravan and the awakened apes that appeared. When he see's the beginnings of a carnival a smile comes to his lips. But when he see's clowns walking around he has to restrain himself from casting Flame Strike.
"Clowns, why does there have to be clowns." He mutters to himself.
Armand decides to look around and see what the non-clown entertainment might be.

This certainly is a big Tree." He decides to see if there is any sort of action on games of skill in the carnival.

When Neshi advises he is happy to use his Permanency spell for the party, 'Osul asks, [/b]"Resistance, maybe, kindly?"[/b]
As time permits he makes a point of taking on the shape of the russet hawk and flies in a long conical spiral up the tree to Wiz-bang's tree house. After a visit, he takes a few circuits of the very Tree-top, checking the Tree and then the expanse below, before returning to the hustle and bustle and hubbub.

Elyngael and Brawn make a wide path around the carnival. "Brawn, I was looking forward to the peace and quiet of the Tree, but this isn't it. I appreciate celebrating our safe return but good food and friends would have been plenty." Elyngael sees Armand wandering around looking unhappy. "Armand, what troubles you. Is it the noise? Walk with us, friend, we can take a peek at what is going on under that enormous canvas."

Neshi works with Osul to get the two greater magic spells cast and made permanent on him and then casts resistance and then makes it permanent on Osul. making sure that he checks with any of the others to see if they desire the same?
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 71/71; CMD: 20 Sunday February 9th, 2020 7:32:06 PM
Owen is thrilled that a whole circus has arrived. He and Isabel take Simon all throughout the circus, enjoying the performances, the games, and the music of the bards.

FRIDAY POST
Rattlebones returns with the party from his shopping errands in Plateau City. He takes a tour of the Tree of Parting and notes that one of the rooms is open -- and that it is enormous, given his current size. He floats above the carnival watching the crowd until he spots Owen. He flies down, dismisses his invisibility, and bows from the waist while seated on his tiny broomstick. "Ah, you must be Isabel and Simon. Your dear Owen was quite the traveling companion after we slew the dragon, and he was kind enough to show me around the Tree and spoke of both of you with warmth and admiration. I am Rattlebones!" He snaps his fingers and a burst of confetti accompanies a tiny fanfare. All illusions, of course, and the confetti disappears before it hits the ground. "I am happy to make your acquaintance."
Vamir spends the better part of a day communing with the tree, and using his broom to check her branches. The witch then unpacks is his gear, in his room and enjoys a nice long sleep in a comfortable bed. The next morning the witch ties his long silver hair back, before preparing his rituals. The witch successfully pulls Woldsblood into the world, and quietly thanks Queen Maab for her assistance.
Vamir bounds downstairs and goes looking for the rest of the Wardens. Along the way the young elf takes the time to speak to everyone he can in their native languages (Elvish, Sylvan, Draconic, Goblin, Orc, Taur, Dwarven, Halfling, and Gnome.)
Vamir waves to Armand, and makes sure to tell Owen's family hi. The witch makes sure to try and find each member of the group if only to spend a few minutes with them.

Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 34 (T 21+1 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 132/132 Monday February 10th, 2020 1:43:30 PM
Atlas rushes back from the Catacombs and then spends the rest of his time talking with Miles on security and catching up with the locals at the Triple T. One night at dinner he asks the group, "Anyone want to visit the circus that setup outside of town? Looks like it could be fun. I'll put Ruffas up against their strong man any day!"
DM StevenVdB - "Clowns, why does there have to be clowns." Monday February 10th, 2020 4:37:38 PM
With the Wardens all back in Tree they plan to enjoying the carnival. Atlas is thrilled about the circus and hopes every Warden will go see the circus. Should there be wrestling games or something he'll put if Rufus against any strong man any day!
Neshi takes Finnan to wander around the carnival introducing the ranger to everyone he knows. People smile at Finnan and wave at him. Wait... do these people somehow believe Finnan is part of the Circus?!? Oh... sure... that's might explain it... a miniature bipedal grizzly bear walking around Tree must be part of the circus animals!
"Clowns, why does there have to be clowns.", Armand mutters... only his mental health keeps him from casting a flame strike to vaporize these freaks... He looks around for non-clown infested areas of the circus. He notices there are a lot of tents set up of various sizes. Some are for entertainment purposes, some have signs on them saying employees only.
First thing he comes across is a high pole with a shiny bell on top. The lady next to the game holds an enormous wooden hammer in her hands. "5 copper only lad!! Strike hard... ring the bell and win a box full of chocolates... you lad you'll get a pecker on the cheek as well... hihihihi"(make a STR check DC16 to strike the bell)
Perhaps a bit offended Finnan walks around looking for any sorts of action games... he finds something that sounds just perfect for him! There's an archery contest!! "C'mon humans, woldians, aliens, freaks and all! 5 to join!! Throw 5 silver in the hat, beat the others and take hat home!!" In front of you there's a bull's eye that rapidly swings from left to right. The one that shoots closest to the mark wins... (outer ring AC20-21, first ring AC22-23, second ring AC24-25, third ring AC26-27, fourth ring AC28-29, bull's eye AC30)
'Osul talks to Neshi about the permanency spells and then takes the shape of a hawk and flies around the Tree.
Making a wide path around the Carnival with Brawn Elyngael sees Armand wandering around looking unhappy. She invites him to walk and take a peek at what is going on under that enormous canvas... assuming that would be the huge tent the circus set up... unsure though if that's the place Armand wants to go to... after all it's a circus... circus... clowns... lot's of'm ...yup...
While some of his companions don't seem to be overtly pleased with the circus, Owen is thrilled that a whole circus arrived! He and his wife Isabel take their son all throughout the circus compound. There are life animals, lots and lots of candy, a pony ride and clowns everywhere pulling jokes on kids... folding balloons... making funny faces while they tumble and turn as they dance around. When suddenly Rattlebones floats down flying on his broomstick, conjuring a burst of confetti, Simon claps his hands and jumps up and down!!! "MORE MORE MORE!!!!"
Vamir does not appear to be moved much by the carnival. Seems this day of fun and laughter is just another day of business... He does chat with people he comes meets. A circus sure brings a lot of strange folk along so his linguistic skills sure come in handy! It seems witches are drawn to the occult... look!... there's even a medium that can predict your future by reading your palms...
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet d20+2=17 ; Monday February 10th, 2020 6:08:32 PM
Armand eyes the height of the bell. "I don't know, seem like something more Atlas's speed." But then he decides to try it and gives the lady 5 coppers. He rubs his hands together and takes up the hammer. Strength check 17 (d20+2)
He takes his prize and walks away pleased with himself. When Elyngael invites him to check out the big top he will offer to share his chocolates and go see what's inside.

Vamir smiles warmly as he makes his way down the midway, stopping and encouraging those playing the various games and contests. Melzat wanders along behind Vamir the occasional," Me see! Me see!" ringing causing Vamir to lift the willow above his head, giving him a good view. Vamir nears the circus entrance when his eyes are drawn towards a medium's tent. Vamir enters, "Hello," looking for the medium inside. When Vamir spies them the witch smiles, and nods his head, "Would you be able to tell my future?"

Finnan eyes the hawker of the archery contest. "You amuse me. I shall give it a try." He tosses 5 silver pieces into the hat and then takes his shot.
To hit 19 (D20+18)
He lowers his head in disgust. "That was terrible. I must be too relaxed."
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 116/116 Monday February 10th, 2020 8:03:09 PM
Elyngael accepts Armand's generous offer of chocolates. "I haven't tasted chocolate candy since I was a little girl. My parents used to bring them back for me occasionally. I have never seen a tent as big as that enormous canvas. Let's see what is in there," Elyngael and Armand cautiously peek inside.

Walking with Finan later at the circus Neshi watches him take a try at the archery target and grimaces as he misses.
With out thinking Neshi trows the silver into the hat and whipping out his sling lets fly with two stones one after another. The first stone manages to find the outer ring AC 21 of the target, but the second barely misses knocking a hat off an old dame's head AC 9 as she walks past the other side of the area.
"well the first one wasn't to bad...

Rattlebones pushes up his tiny sleeves, his eyes glow blue, and he chants. The words roll off his tongue, building in volume, until he reaches a crescendo and his eyes flash and he points to the sky.
OOC: Cast major image.
Reality melts in a kaleidoscope of colors as gravity becomes subjective and objects float through the air, twisting and turning their forms in erratic flashes of non-euclidean geometry. Limbs and fingers elongate, curling back to pluck eyes and ears and mouths from the faces of their bearers and fling them into space at random angles. As the pieces collide in midair they join into an ersatz quilt of flesh and dirt and grass until all combine into a pillar of psychedelic energy at the heart of the illusion. The pillar compresses, pulling all into it as reality itself bends. All fades into the void. Only flits of color representing the three-dimensional aspects of objects and people remain as they hurtle through time and space toward an unknown destination. All is one, and one is all.
'Osul(Graham) AC:12 (T:11, FF:11), CMD:21, Saves:(F:10/R:6/W:16 + RNL), HP:81/81, Wildshape(XV):7/7, Lightning Lord:13/13, Storm Burst:10/10 Tuesday February 11th, 2020 6:47:50 AM "Atlas, I'm curious about the circus. Weren't none coming by the farm as a kid - just stories - and I cannot recall the last time one was here at The Tree. I mean, markets, traders, .. but a circus?". He joins in. There is some sense in the attitudes of a farmboy to the life of those that travel for a living, but it is an attitude he has no reason to hold onto.
Rattlebones' illusion leaves 'Osul stunned. Eventually, he tries to convey his appreciation of the performance, and adds, "I have no skill for it, but it seems like something that should have music accompanying?"
Now, nothing in the circus will seem that weird!
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 34 (T 21+1 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 132/132 d20+19=37 ; Tuesday February 11th, 2020 1:25:32 PM
Atlas laughs at 'Osul, good natured because he's in such a great mood. " 'Osul my friend, I don't know much about them either. There were a few that came through town as a boy, but my parents were too busy putting us to work. This will be my first. However, I've heard all about them and I am told there are games of chance and games of skill, not to mention a bunch of weird shows and stuff. Follow me, let's have some fun!"
Atlas quickly looks for the games of skill, clueless to the tricks that might prevent him from performing his best. He starts by following Finnan to the archery contest. He pulls his bow out, strings it up, and notches an arrow. As he prepares to pull back he realizes he hasn't paid! Digging out the silver he tosses it into the hat and resumes his attempt. Taking a deep breath, he draws back, let's the air out, and when there is nothing left he let's fly. "Bullseye!" He scoops up the hat in excitement and dumps the coins where the hat was. "These will be more helpful to you than me, but I'm taking you on your word, the hat is mine." Atlas puts the hat on his head, not even cringing at the thought of where it has been. He wears it proudly as he struts about the place as the champion. He nudge's 'Osul, ""What a great atmosphere, eh?"
DM StevenVdB - "Clowns, why does there have to be clowns." d20+6=25 Tuesday February 11th, 2020 5:16:32 PM
Unsure if the game of strength wouldn't be better suited for Atlas, Armand gives the hammer a swing anyhow! It doesn't seem to be too difficult! Almost too easy perhaps... he takes his prize and when Elyngael invites him to check out the large circus tent he shares his chocolates. They do taste wonderful.
Vamir picks Melzat up to give the little willow a good view. The sight of that almost looks like an attraction for some of the Carnival visitors. When he spots the medium's tent he is immediately drawn to it... he walks inside and asks to have his future unfolded.
"Ah youngling... you want to know your future... the old crone looks at [b]Vamir hands... then looks into his palms a long time and asks :" Are you sure?! What would you do if I say you will not see the sun rise again tomorrow... what if I were to tell you you shou... " Suddenly her voice breaks... her mouth opens but no words come out... she rolls her eyes towards the back of her head... sweat drips from her forehead as she begins to shudder... "NO... NO... ". The witch drops to her knees heavily panting... "Please leave... go... never mind me please go..." the witch says at last.
Convinced he can win this archery contest Finnan casually tosses 5 silver int the hat... takes aim and doesn't even touch the target!!! Truth must be told here and there people do chuckle. Neshi hopes to uphold the Warden's reputation and gives it a go as well. At least the first arrow is is in the outer ring... but his second arrow nearly pierces and old lady's hat. A young lad's dad throws 5 silver in the hat and pushes his kid to the front. "Go on! Go... you can do it! I know you can!" The kid picks up the bow... pulls back the string and shoot... The crowd cheers loud as the young boy scores higher than the Wardens!!
Rattlebones is having the time of his life as he entertains and fools the kids!
'Osul and Atlas stroll around the carnival. 'Osul is genuinely amazed by Rattlebones' display. Atlas finds the games of skill and sees Finnan and Neshi are not making a good impression... if fact you can see that kid's father is using black ink on a white shirt... he's writing "I BEAT THE WARDENS AT THE ARCHE...". Let's assume he'll complete the text and have his kid to wear this shirt all day... So Atlas takes the bow. Taking a deep breath he draws back, let the air out and when there's nothing left he let's fly... BULLSEYE!!! Again the crowd cheers madly! Even the boy cheers... his dad seems to be a bit less amused and throws away the shirt. Seeing his dad is a bit angry the boy looks sad... Atlas takes the hat... tosses the silver out and... takes the hat!! "But... hey... no no... but but... " the game host stammers as he sees Atlas walking away with his old hat...
Elyngael and Armand go to check the large tent. You see people, staff most likely, running in and out... in front of the entrance there's a small booth... as you intend to walk into the tent a little old man pops up behind the counter of the booth...
"HEY YOU... the show begins this evening! You have no business inside... they are rehearsing! You can buy a ticket here for 2 Gp for adults and 1 Gp per child. Drinks and candy can be booth inside during the show. The show will start at 8 this evening...

Finnan laughs at his misfortune and goes over to the young man. "You did well. I'm sure there are great things in your future." He pats the lad's shoulders and moves on to see what else there is to see.

"I've never seen a circus before, could you tell me what sort of entertainment to expect?" He tries to overhear what's going on inside the tent as well. Perception 25 (d20+7)

Vamir drops to his knee, looking over the witch as she gasps for air. The elf casts detect magic and looks over the old woman, making sure she was not under the effects of a spell. "Melzat, go find Armand and bring him here. Go now!" Vamir pulls Zaita from his belt, and brings her to full size, as she finally stops he creates water, and pats the old witches forehead. "It will be ok, my friend will be here soon. May I ask who your patron is? Mine is Queen Maab. She was also my mother's patron."
Melzat dashes from the tent, and heads straight for the tree scanning the crowd as he goes for Armand.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 116/116 Tuesday February 11th, 2020 9:39:37 PM "That's a lot of gold for unknown entertainment." Elyngael tells the man in the small booth. "My friend and I mean no harm, we were just curious. If you could tell us what goes on inside this canvas that is so secretive and worth 2gp, we might pay." Elyngael waits for the man to answer, and when he doesn't, she turns to leave.
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 71/71; CMD: 20 Tuesday February 11th, 2020 9:58:36 PM
Owen and his family are delighted by Finnan's illusions. Owen may get a little distracted and spend a while lecturing about Finnan's magical technique, but Isabel and Simon are mostly used to it. Simon cheers loudly when Atlas shoots the bulls eye; he's quite fond of archery. Owen buys three tickets for the evening's show, then treats Simon to a giant paper cone full of popcorn.

Neshi laughs as the boy beats his shots and then smiles as Atlas lets fly.
"You see that's why we let him do the fighting and I stick to magic."
He continues on going from vendor to vendor spending silver and having a great time.

Rattlebones is pleased to provide illusions, but flicks an ear when he hears the old barker quoting the price of admission. "Two gold pieces? Two gold pieces? Surely you meant copper. A common laborer only makes a single silver a day. Surely there is nothing in that tent worth twenty days of a hardworking man's wages!" He floats over to the ticket stand and eyeballs the old man. " If it isn't something incredible... you might be run out of town, naked and tied to your horse."
OOC: An untrained hireling makes 1sp/day. An 8-hour shift at minimum wage in the US is worth $58. Which means an adult ticket costs about $1,160! Give or take.

After prancing around a bit Atlas notices the young boy's disappointment. He pulls out his dagger, takes off his new old hat and begins to gently scrape/carve a tree on the side. It isn't perfect, but it's good enough to know it's a tree. He then gives the boy the hat and tells him, "Here, tell them you bested the most fearsome fighter in all the land, Atlas Sunowl from The Warden's of the Tree of Parting. They won't believe you, but we know that at your age you would have beat me and that seems like the fair way to judge these things. Oh, and take these gold coins to cover the silver that you should have won." Atlas tosses 5 gold coins to the kid and winks at the dad. He rubs the kids hair and heads off for more fun.

There is a lot going on, and much to see and hear, but 'Osul suspects that keeping up with Atlas is the best course of action for now.
DM StevenVdB - "Fuand... just Fuand... no titles needed..." Wednesday February 12th, 2020 5:00:28 PM
Surprised by the witch's seizure Vamir drops to his knees and asks Melzat to go find Armand. He drops to his knees and pulls Zaita from him his belt... brings her to full size and creates water to help the old witch.
"Thank you love... thank you... I don't know what happened... this has never happened to me before... I saw something... evil... "
Slowly the old crone stands, her back heavily leaning forward.
"Sigh... whatever this is it's no good... be careful lad... I'm ok... please leave I need to rest... "
Neshi smiles as his shots go wild... that's why he sticks to magic...
The boy who just lost the Archery contest smiles thankfully as Finnan pats him on the shoulder. An Warden actually gave him a pat on the shoulder!!
Atlas too notices the boy's disappointment and begins to carve a tree on the side of the old hat. It isn't perfect but it's good enough. This is one day to remember!!
'Osul thinks staying with Atlas is the best for now...
Close to the archery stand you can see a type of boxing ring... a deep booming voice calls out :
"Will the most fearsome fighter in all the land, Atlas Sunowl from The Warden's of the Tree of Parting, be brave enough to accept the challenge by Fuand... just Fuand... no titles needed... a challenge to a one on one wrestling/boxing match..."
From the tent an exceptionally strong looking Ogre steps into the fighting ring. He holds only an Ogre hook... but his hands are massive...
At the circus Armand, El and Rattlebones all complain at the cost of the entrance to the show.
"Oh I can assure you this IS a spectacle my friends!! One you have never seen alike! Think Cirque de Soleil only better... opening is tonight. But hold on... it's you right?!? I can get you front row seats! After all you ARE the Tree Wardens! The reason why all are here! You would honor us with your presence." The little old man looks quite happy to see you.
(DM note - I did not quite calculate the cost like that. Guess all players in the Wold are just way to rich in that math)

Vamir smiles gently at the witch, "You may ask me to go as often as you like but I will not until I make sure you are ok, and my friends and I are not in danger." Vamir dips his handkerchief into the water created in Zaita, and wipes the women's face. "Besides, what type of hero would I be if I didn't take care of those who need a little help? You never did tell me who your patron is? Can you tell me how you came to travel with the circus?"
Melzat continues running towards the base of the tree, and then begins shouting Armand's name.
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet d20+30=40 ; Wednesday February 12th, 2020 8:20:26 PM OOC, I think the whole economy is a bit skewed in Pathfinder. I mean if you look at expenses, A stay in a 'common' inn is 5sp a day. Meals per day (assuming 3) for common meals is 3 sp a day. What they may not be taking into account is that if you're going into a medieval or even an old west economy, your room and board is paid for by your lord/ranch owner. That silver piece is over and above the room and board. Otherwise a common laborer would quickly starve to death. But yes, Adventurers are definitely part of the 1% just in wealth. Many higher level adventurers may have more worth in gear than a kingdom in yearly income. But trying to find a buyer of that gear is the hard part. Economies of scale....
Armand rubs his chin and uses his hand to hide a smirk at Rattlebone's comments. "Oh, I wouldn't want to usurp the seat of someone else. I think front row seats should be the prerogative of the young." He eyes the hawker. "I would be more than content to sit somewhere in the back."
Armand decides he will try to turn on the charm. He activates Touch of Glory (6/d) grant touched creature cleric level bonus on charisma based skill check. Diplomacy 40 (d20+30) "However, you still have not answered my question of what we can expect to see. Call it advertising for your show. What do you offer? What sort of skits, acts, entertainment can we expect to see?"

As soon as she hears the "honor us with your presence", Elyngael strides through the canvas flaps to check out this circus. She tries to grab Armand's hand, but he is still negotiating with the man. Inside it is darker and the noise is more subdued thanks to the canvas. Perception d20+19=23

Neshi makes it up to where Vamir entered a tent only to find him kneeling over an old woman.
"Vamir, is everything alright?"

Rattlebones reaches into his belt pouch and removes a stack of coins. He quickly counts them and plops them on the barker's podium. "Here's a hundred gold pieces. I would like to pay for the first one hundred children to attend."

Atlas looks to 'Osul for a way out of this, whispering to him, "Hmm, I'm not any good at boxing or wrestling, I need a weapon in my hand. This guy will pummel me."
Not knowing what else to do, he looks up at Fuand, looks around to the crowd quickly, then works up his loud voice, "Fuand, I've heard of you! My understanding is that you are the most fearful wrestler this side of the Shadow Mountain. I once heard a story that claimed you pinned a hill giant by making his hands touch his feet behind his back! I dare not wrestle with someone as legendary as you!"

He looks the ogre up and down, before turning back to Atlas and adding, "Of course, a blessing or three of The Wood might even up the fight... a little."

Owen hears about the upcoming wrestling bout. He takes his family along to cheer for their friend.
DM StevenVdB - "Fuand... just Fuand... no titles needed..." Thursday February 13th, 2020 6:02:53 PM "Thank you love... you are a fine lad. Eberyon is my guide... ". The old witch is clearly thankful of the gentle help she is offered. "Oh I've never been very strong... you are a powerful witch lad and I wish I would have been that strong. Long ago I had hopes to roam the Wold myself being a brave adventurer such as yourself but my skills and bond with Eberyon are not nearly as powerful as I would have needed them to be... She does look somewhat ashamed though and she gazes into Vamir's eyes... "This whole predict your future thing is nothing but a way for an old crone such as myself to survive... I do travel the Wold but I just go from town to town where there's a good vibe. I set us my little tent and... well... I mostly tell people what they like to here... yes you will have lovely children... you will marry a wealthy trader... you will be glorious in battle... and so on. Everywhere I go I have to tell the same lies over and over but it pays the bills lad... and people leave my place with a smile on their face!! And isn't that what a carnival or funfair is all about?! When I heard there would be a carnival here in Tree to celebrate your bravery of course I had to be here!" When Vamir asks if she travels often with the circus she says: "No I have never been with a circus this big! But perhaps I will tag along as they do seem to attract a fine crowd! I should talk to the owner if I find him and see if I can travel with them..."
While the witch pours our her heart to Vamir, Yurneshi walks in to check on Vamir...
Melzat tries to locate Armand...
Armand continues to softening up the little ticket seller...
"What to expect?!? Well sir we have the best trapeze duo in the whole northern continent... a whole bunch of clowns and acrobats that will tumble and turn all through the great canvas... a team of horsemen building a pyramid as they ride full speed through the arena!! Magnificent sir... Oh and wait you'll like this... two exotic ladies from the barren Ice Vein... they can twist and turn their bodies in ways you can not imagine... and of course I'm sure you can image a lot... but hold on!! Sir I should not be telling you all this! You will see the show tonight of course!"
While Armand softens up the ticket guy, Elyngael can not hold her curiosity and takes a peak inside the tent... up high in the tent she sees a very muscled young gymnast hanging upside down on a trapeze swinging from one side to the other... oh wait! On the other side a slender girl... clearly very strong as well... comes jumping in thin air!!! THere's not even a safety net!!! Oh... oh... YES!! The gymnast... hmm he's handsome... grabs the wrists of the girl and together they continue swinging through the air. Down on the ground El spots the horsemen the ticket seller was mentioning...
"MISS... PLEASE... please do understand they are rehearsing... they are not to be disturbed and... m'lady we take pride in our crew... a... Circus offers entertainment to the crowd... these acrobats and gymnasts train hard to bring they very best to their audience... but a circus also holds the mystique... the excitement... the surprise... please may I ask you to disturb them no longer and grant them their moment of glory this evening?! " The ticket seller beckons El to move away from the tent.
"Well then here", Rattlebones says as he plops no less than 100 gold pieces on the counter! The ticketseller smiles!!
[b]"Excellent sir!! That will make a lot of kids very happy!! Thank you very much!"
"Finnan walks in on 'Osul and Atlas as this last one is challenged by Fuand the Ogre... since it was Atlas himself who was boasting his name Fuand only repeated that said name...
Atlas tries to smooth talk his way out of this challenge but already a crowd is forming up...
Planning on evening up the battle 'Osul figures he should add some empowering spells...
Hearing 'Osul's complaint about the Ogre Hook, Fuand throws it down...
"We'll even it up... two of you against me... no weapons... no spells... c'mon this crowd wants to see the famous Wardens take on the mindless Ogre... Fuand dares you... "
Hearing about the wrestling match Owen takes his family to cheer for their friends... Gradually a circle of people have created more or less an ring around an arena. Fuand flexes his hands...cracks a few knuckles... and smiles.
"Fuand waits", the Ogre says as he eyeballs the Wardens...

Neshi walks in as the old lady mentions Eberyon and Neshi's ears twitch.
Vamir, is everything ok in here?
My Lady did I hear you correctly saying that your patron, so-to-speak is, Eberyon? I too am a follower of Him as well.

Finnan nods to Faud. He then speaks up. "Faud, what are the conditions of your combat? Just pinning, or slapping and tickling as well? We really don't want to have any bloodshed as that might upset the mood."
He turns to Atlas. "He said two to one, I'm game if you are."

Vamir smiles as the old witch tells her story,"I suspect you were a powerful witch in your own right, but time does have a way of making all things even." Yurneshi walks in as the witch names Eberyon as her patron. "Yurneshi, I walked into this tent to have my fortune told, I am not sure what I expected, however I thought it would be fun. As this woman began to read my palms she said, What would you do if I say you will not see the sun rise again tomorrow... what if I were to tell you you shou... " then her voice broke, she quit speaking although she was trying,and her eyes rolled towards the back of her head. I sent Melzat after Armand, and have tried to make her comfortable. I also cast detect magic directly afterwards and found no auras. It seems more than a little strange to me and what better time to harm someone at the tree but when there are many strangers about!"
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Thursday February 13th, 2020 8:41:13 PM
Armand nods to the hawker. "Well it might be interesting at that." He tries to collar Elyngael. "Please understand she is probably concerned about your treatment of animals. I hope you're not using whips or other cruelties to them."
Armand tries to get Elyngael's attention. "Let's go Elyngael. Perhaps we can see more of the circus." And then in Orc he then whispers to her, "Come on let's look around and see if we can find out more from outside the tent, they must have a camp set up somewhere."
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 116/116 Thursday February 13th, 2020 10:01:37 PM
Elyngael turns from the tent flap to Armand. "Armand, I'm glad to stay out of this tent. This circus is not natural for man or beast! I don't like it, and I'm worried that it is distracting us from something important or dangerous. Perhaps the Wardens' fame is not good for the Tree - it could be attracting the wrong kind of attention'"

OOC: Is Fuand related to The Amazing Oopah, The Exploding Ogre?
Rattlebones nods in satisfaction to the ticket-seller, and ascends on his broom into the sky. He doesn't want to be jostled by the crowd as they enter the tent. He passes his time people-watching.
No better place than a carnival for people-watching.... Oh, gods, look at the tattoos on that one!

'Osul gestures to the slowly gathering crowd and speaks plainly, "They are curious, but that is not what they want. I think they and we wardens would rather see the two of us all sit down at a table and talk over a few pints. What do you say, Fuand?"
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 34 (T 21+1 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 132/132 Friday February 14th, 2020 2:42:30 PM
Atlas pats 'Osul's shoulder, "Thanks for the try. I thought I could get out of it, but it doesn't look like that will be the case." Atlas begins to unsling his weapons and armor. He slides them into his bag of holding and hands it to 'Osul, "Watch this with your life, please."
He cracks a few knuckles then looks to Finnan and nods his head. Then with his loud voice again he says, "I'll bring Finnan here with me, considering your legacy I think it is the prudent choice. What are the rules?" Atlas manages to drag his feet until he knows exactly what they are in for.
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Saturday February 15th, 2020 7:39:18 PM
Time seems to stand still for Armand.

(wanted to post in Friday but my wife had a valentines day surprise :-) )
The Old crone eyeballs Neshi as he walks in... "Ah yes lad but like I told your friend here I'm but a average witch. Despite my hopes though... "
Vamir tells what happened when he asked the woman to predict his future. The witch watches Vamir with the same amazement as Yurneshi does.
"What could have caused this seizure?!" the 'fortune teller' asks... "I've never experienced something like that! Perhaps someone was trying to communicate to you through me! At last!!! Perhaps I AM a medium after all but I just need to concentrate better... "
---------------------------
Armand and Elyngael leave the ticket-seller alone. El is even glad to leave the tent for she feels the circus is not natural for man or beast... perhaps it is distracting you from other matters?!? Armand suggest to look around and find out more outside. Perhaps they have set up a camp somewhere. In fact the camp is right here... there are various tents around the circus. Some marked staff only where you can see acrobats and clowns going in and out as they are practicing for tonight's show. As it is already getting later in the afternoon the artists are getting more and more enthusiastic.
Rattlebones too leaves the circus entrance and takes it to the sky on his broom. Kids below start pointing fingers and are cheering at him. While cruising overhead Rattlebones perceives a young mother in distress near the 'House of Horror'...
-------------------------
Back at the boxing ring Fuand has challenged the Wardens to a knuckle fight. Finnan would like to know the rules.
Fuand smiles as it seems someone is going to accept his challenge after all!
"you can slam, hit, kick above or below the belt ... you can even tickle me if you want! No magic... No biting... No dirty tricks like throwing sand in my face. Just a fun honest brawl."
But Fuand's lower lip goes down when 'Osul suggests to sit down and drink a few beers instead...
From within the crowd someone shouts: "I bet ya didn't kill that dragon drinking a beer did ya?!? "
Atlas begins to unsling his weapons and armor... Fuand's eyes grow large and a big smile appears on his face!! The crowd goes wild and cheers :
ATLAS THE BRAVE!!! He's going to be mashed potatoes with that Ogre Look at that size of the Ogre! O c'mon they killed a dragon... what possibly can the Ogre do?! ATLAS MARRY ME!!! MY HERO!!! GO FINNAN FIGHT!! DRINK!! FIGHT!! GO FUAND!! SQUASH THEM INTO THE GROUND!!!
At Atlas's request Fuand repeats the rules once again:
"you can slam, hit, kick above or below the best ... you can even tickle me if you want! No magic... No biting... No dirty tricks like throwing sand in my face. Just a fun honest brawl and I assure you Sir that I will gladly drink a pint afterwards. "
"No armor?"Fuand asks Atlas. If Atlas acknowledges that, Fuand will also remove his chain shirt...
FIGHT

Finnan looks at Atlas. "Really, we're going to do this without armor. You know he's got the weight advantage and natural armor." Finnan shakes his head and starts removing his mithral breastplate. He has Steapa sit on his pile of armor and weapons. (He did not however, take off his belt of physical perfection.)
Then he will whisper to Atlas as he steps into the ring. "How do you want to do this?"

(Perception DC: 31) Vamir discreetly motions to Yurneshi, as he picks Zaita up and walks to the tent flap, "Something about this feels, well odd to say the least. We should head back towards the other, and I need to find Melzat." Vamir walks outside, pours the water from Zaita, and reduces her, placing her on his belt.

Atlas acknowledges no armor with a nod of his head and then climbs into the ring. "Finnan, makes sure to keep behind him. Flanking is going to be our best strategy."
Atlas walks around the ring a bit, getting ready, then when Finnan is in place he steps forward, making sure Fuand sees him and doesn't try to say he cheated. Instead of trying to grapple the bigger Fuand, he strikes at him with his full onslaught, starting with 3 punches to his gut and following up with two at his face.

El however is determined to find out how the circus treats its animals. As Armand walks around he hears Melzat calling out for him...
Sneaking around Elyngael sees the trained horses that will be used in the ring for building the pyramid... no one seems to take care of them. There are a few wild animals in closed pens as well... looks like they have food and water but no one is looking after them at the moment. The Ranger continues sneaking around when she perceived the pony ride... the ponies are not moving... there's a small group standing in front of the ride but you can't hear what they are saying... you do seem to notice something's going on though... are those children crying?!?
----------------------
At the fortuneteller Vamir makes sure the witch is ok. "Yes I'll be ok dear... go find your friends... " Vamir scans the room one last time but other that a lot of old dusty books and robes he can't seem to find much. He picks up Zaita, walks towards the exit and discretely informs Yurneshi that he feels something is odd about all this... Time to go find the others!
----------------------
Rattlebones swoops down to the House of Horrors and floats and arm-length in front of the mother... when he suddently dispels his invisibility the woman shrieks in terror! Let's be honest... no one is with you and all of a sudden there's a catlike creature flying a broomstick floating in front of you...
Once the mother is calm she stammers: "My son an daughter went into the House of Horror but they don't come out!! They have been in there for over 15 minutes!! They should have come out by now... Oh if they are trying to prank me they are... I will... they..."
The woman is worried and in either anger or fear...
--------------------------------
"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" the crowd shouts as Atlas and Finnan are preparing to go hand to hand with Fuand the Ogre...
Wishing he had better anticipated the crowd's reaction 'Osul sighs a little and checks how he can help his friends that are about to getting pummeled...
And so the fight begins. Atlas makes one final tactic remark to Finnan about flanking and then he takes the initiative of starting the fight. Finnan double checks Atlas is actually sure about removing his armor... that Ogre's bit you know...
With the armor gone Fuand's chest show bulging muscles and quite a few scars... net's not get into detail about the size of his biceps.
Atlas does not waste any time! He hits no less that 3 times! (Fuands reduced AC is 21)
Fuand turns to face Atlas and smiles. With a booming voice he says: " Is that all you got lad?!? C'mon and stand still so I can squash you like a ripe pumpkin!"
With his 10ft reach Fuand can make a full attack on Atlas:

Armand looks around but Elyngael appears to have disappeared. Then he hears Melzat calling his name. "What's up little feller?" When Melzat says come quick Armand heads off following the little guy. He notices a commotion on the way and chants of "fight, fight". He marks the location and then continues to follow Melzat.

Atlas stumbles, but manages to recover enough to fight back, "Is...uh, yeah, that's all I've got. Told you it wasn't going to be a fair fight." Atlas doesn't hesitate though, he steps up and lays into the ogre. With Finnan's flank he is able to land a few, but ultimately it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference.

It's getting late in the afternoon...
Armand catches up with Melzat and hears about the seizure of the fortune teller. At the foretune teller's Neshi and Vamir hope she will try to do a seance once again... but she shakes her head. "No... I won't try this again. I don't know what happened nor how it happened."
-----------------------------
In front of the House of Horror, Rattlebones tries to calm the mother down asking something to pinpoint her kids. Before going in one of the kids gave a woolen scarf claiming it would be too warm inside the House of Horror. Perhaps that will help [/b]Rattlebones[/b]? She stares at the catlike creature wondering what he... it... whatever... is going to do with the scarf.
-------------------------------
Elyngael walks up to the pony ride. Parents try to draw their kids away from the ride. Others stare bewildered inside... soon El understands what's going on... near the back of the ride a snow white pony lies motionless on the ground... laying in a pool of blood... from where El stands it's hard to tell exactly what happened. But there's a lot of blood on the ground... looks like there's but one dead pony. The others are unharmed.
-------------------------------
All damage in the fist fight is non-lethal. After all it IS just a game... I think...
Finnan joins the frenzy!! One punch hits Fuand clean on the jawbone... but the ogre is able to dodge the two other punches... but then Finnan also... bites
"I SAID NO BITING YOU MAGGOT!!! Fuand roars back at Finnan
Dispite the heavy blow he got Atlas does not hesitate and steps up... even though thinking this is an unfair fight Atlas lands several blows!!
Angered by Finnan's nibble, Fuand swings his arms the size of a small tree aimed at Finnan... Hits AC41 : damage 21 Hits AC23 : damage 21
The crowd goes : "HUAH... WHOAH... AAHHHH... 'Osul shape changes and watches the battle from above...

"Sorry I missed that in all the hub bub, bub." Finnan calls out to the Ogre.
Then he calls to Atlas. "I think we should change tactics. We're playing into his game right now."
Finnan starts to try to grapple Faund. His muscles ripple as he flexes and springs into the grapple lucha libre style. He might be small but he has mighty thews (strength 26). CMB 40 (d20+20...CRIT). rolling to confirm 37 (d20+20) Not sure what a crit grapple would entail.

Rattlebones nods and accepts the scarf. "Just a moment." He wraps the scarf around his neck, moves his hands in a complicated series of motions, and mumbles under his breath. He finishes just as his eyes glow blue. He turns in a circle until he senses the direction of the boy. "There he is. Hopefully your daughter is with him. Let's go." The tiny cat beckons with a paw and begins floating forward to find the children.

Atlas responds to Finnan, "I thought his game was going to be to grapple us and squeeze us to death. He could do it to both of us at once with those arms." Atlas pauses as Finnan jumps at the ogre, then continues, "But I see you are OK with that approach. OK, now hold him still for me!"

At the Foretune Teller :
Melzat is able to bring Armand to Vamir and Yurneshi. The three of them discuss the odd seizure of the foretune teller. The tend to the old witch who clearly is not used to getting this much attention. "No no I'm feeling just fine... like I told your friends here I just don't know what happened..."
You hear a lot of shouting and cheering near the boxing ring.
------------------------------
At the Pony Ride :
Elyngael urges the parents to get their children away from the ride. The ranger wants to check what has happened. Getting closer to the pony it becomes pretty obvious what killed the poor thing... its throat has been gashed open pretty brutally... this definitely was no cold steel cut. More like it was torn open... ripped open. The pony was all the way in the back of the pony ride... the blood isn't fresh anymore.
You hear a lot of shouting and cheering near the boxing ring.
------------------------------
At the House of Horror :
Rattlebone uses the scarf to try an locate the kids. Scanning in all direction he gets no bearing of the kids. There's panic in the mother's eyes...
You hear a lot of shouting and cheering near the boxing ring.
------------------------------
Owen and 'Osul witness the match between Fuand the Ogre and Finnan and Atlas... Both sides have got some bruises already... neither side yields.
In fact, perhaps an odd and unexpected move makes a nice twist to the trading blows that the audience has seen so far.
Finnan throws himself at Fuand to get a grapple!!
- Finnan attempts to grapple CMB40 (no crit applies to grapple rolls) - Finnan does not have the Advanced Grapple feature nor Grab ability so Fuand gets an AoO - Fuand AoO hits AC33 damage 18 - Finnan takes 18 HP non lethal damage and adds an 18 penalty to his CMB so CMB becomes 40-18 : CMB 22 - Fuand's CMD is 43... - Grapple fails
Fuand laughs at the brave attempt!! The Public cheers as they also enjoy the bravery the Wardens are showing!!!
"My turn little one!! Let's give the public what they want"
- Fuand attempts to grapple Finnan CMB 27 - NATURAL 1!! - Fuand does not have an advanced grapple feature nor grab ability so Finnan gets an AoO (please roll the AoO prior to your next actions) - Fuand's grapple attempt is an automatic fail due to the natural 1 so the grapple attempt fails.
Fuand tries to grab the little ursine but stumbles over his feet gruesomely failing to grab Finnan!
Even though the grapple attempt turned out differently Atlas can still make his move! Again 3 successful punches!!
Damage : Fuand : 16(Atlas round 1) 15 (Finnan round 2) 31 (Atlas round 2) 19 (Atlaso round 3) POSSIBLE FINNAN AOO TOTAL Non-Lethal Damage : 81 HP
Atlas : 40 (Fuand round 1) TOTAL Non-Lethal Damage : 40 HP
Finnan : 42 (Fuand round) 18 (Fuand round 3 AoO) TOTAL Non-Lethal Damage : 60 HP

A big guy in an even bigger hat pushes in front of Owen and his family, blocking their view. Owen hoists Simon up onto his shoulders to give him a better view. Simon calls out "Atlas! Step on his neck! Fishhook him!", and Owen quickly tries to shush him. Isabel looks mortified.

Be that as it may...
And I thought Atlas had 4 successful punches, you stated his AC is 21, are some of our attacks not hitting? You didn't count Atlas's rend the turn before. If we should be hitting but are not it's something our characters would notice.
AC now 16 / 16 / 12 HP 62/122
"Great Bear in the Mountain, but you're huge." Shouts Finnan. He then takes a punch at the big gallut's knee. AOO Punch, 27 (d20+24 with flanking) damage 10 (d2+8)
Finnan grunts and goes to work on that leg.
Punch, 34 (d20+24 with flanking) damage 10 (d2+8) (opps sorry ignore the d8+8 the mouse jumped, I'd erase it but then Rob C would get a flagging email and have to investigate). Punch, 27 (d20+19 with flanking) damage 10 (d2+8) Punch 18 (d20+12) miss

Armand exits the tent and looks around. There seems to be quite the crowd over that direction. Too much effort for him to try to elbow his way to the front to see what it's all about. Armand decides to cast Detect Magic and slowly wander around the carnival.

The area around the pony rides quickly empties. Elyngael determines that the white pony has been brutally ripped open by claws and some time ago as the body is no longer warm. What attacked a harmless pony? She looks around for tracks. Perception d20+19=33; Survival d20+23=31 Elyngael must inform the others.

Rattlebones furrows his brow. "They are not within 840 feet. That isn't good. Quick, tell me their names, their hair color, and what they were wearing."
The beastfolk cat casts another spell, and an enormous banner appears in the sky overhead (100 feet up, 30 feet x 50 feet), red velvet with gold letters and rotating slowly.

Simon hops on Owen shoulders and holds his hands like a fighter would. With every punch or jab the Finnan or Atlas give, Simon too strikes his invisible opponents.
Back at the Fortune Teller the group comes to the conclusion they won't get much more from the old crone. Armand heal check gave no ill results at all. Looks like she's in perfect health. Perhaps a bit nervous and most of all a little shaking of what happened. Vamir is perplexed. Melzat slides of his shoulders and runs towards the boxing ring. Armand can detect a number of magical aura's close by. Most though seem to come from the boxing ring. Neshishakes his head in frustration of not getting more info from the witch and heads of towards the boxing ring as well.
Near the pony ride Elyngael examines the crime scene... there are a number of tracks around her... most from the ponies, though there are other humanoid prints too. Could be visitors. Could be the owners. could be the killers... difficult to say. She realizes she needs to warn the others and asks Brawn to guard the ride to make sure no one else gets into trouble.
Near the House of Horror Rattlebones summons an enormous banner in the sky reading :
CHILDREN ARE MISSING!! JEDDAH, DARK BROWN HAIR, AGE 9 ELSA, DARK BROWN HAIR, AGE 7 RETURN TO HOUSE OF HORROR IMMEDIATELY
People that walk by wave at Rattlebones... look at the sign... shake their head with just a hint of compassion and ... walk by... Seems like no one has caught sight of the two kids.
The fight club goes into a frenzy as bruises are building up on both sides...
(DM Note, sorry if I missed something with the nat 20 grapple. I did not spot the roll 20... so yes in that case the grapple should have succeeded. Too late now to turn everything back. )
Finnan takes advantage of his AoO and viciously hits Fuand's knee. Looks like the Ogre does whimper a little on that hit... but it ain't over yet! Finnan grunts and works the Ogre leg some more!!
(Leaving some space here for Atlas's actions)
Fuand winces in pain and looks down on Finnan... "Small you are... but a grand combatant as well..."
FUand brings his fists down on Finnan... Hits AC38 - damage 22 Hits AC40 - damage 19
"Do you yield brave one?!" Fuand asks Finnan"In that case... stay down"
Atlas : 40 (Fuand round 1) TOTAL Non-Lethal Damage : 40 HP

Isabel gasps at the blows Finnan receives. Owen notices the skywriting and turns to her: "Isabel, Simon. I'm going to try to find the missing children." He gently sets Simon down, puts the lad's hand in Isabel's, and moves off. Finding a quiet place, he begins to cast Scrying on Jeddah.
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Thursday February 20th, 2020 7:48:49 PM
Armand looks up and see's the enormous banner in the sky. "I wonder who made that?" He says out loud. He quickly looks around and tries to see he spot Miles Raynor, the head of security for the Tree.
"You good sir, excuse me. Can you tell me the direction of the House of Horror?" He stops the first carnival worker he can see. With the information of the location of the House of Horror he will make his way to that general direction. Should he see any of the security forces of the Tree he will try to have them contact Miles and meet at the House of Horrors.

Finnan's eyes cross momentarily and he sways a little. He shakes his head and looks at Fruand. "I'm not done yet sir." He wonders if Armand will be nearby to apply a little healing once he passes out. Likewise he wonders why Atlas seems content to stand there while he's taking all the damage from the Ogre.
"No offense, but your leg is handy." He again goes after the leg, or anything else within reach.

Vamir bows to the old witch, and walks to the flap of the tent. "Melzat, I need you to return to our rooms. There is a fresh pot of soil harvested today for you, and I have a need to wander around for a bit." Melzat tudgs on Vamir's pant leg, "Go see? Sound fun! Go see?" Vamir smiles, and pats the willow softly, "Not right now Melzat, go to our room." Vamir walks Melzat to the tree and watches him scoot up to the room. The witch casts barkskin on himself, and pulls out his broom. The witch casts broom of flying and kicks up into the air.

Elyngael sees the banner in the sky. She didn't see either of those children at the pony ride. Something or someone is taking advantage of the confusion and crowds of people. She needs to tell the other Wardens about the pony attack right away, so she follows the crowd assuming they, too, are headed to the House of Horrors.

DM StevenVdB - Fight Club Round 5 - WARDENS WIN !! Sunday February 23rd, 2020 11:12:27 AM
Fight Club 5 :
As Fuand tries to break Finnan's skull the public holds its breath. Will the brave Warden yield?!? Irritated by the crowd, 'Osul lands and resumes human form.
"No offense, but your leg is handy.", Finnan says as he makes no less than 3 excellent blows at Fuand's kneecaps!!
"That's enough Faund, pick on someone your own size.", Atlas chimes in. He steps closer and makes a nice punching bag out of Fuand!! One hit after the other it seems Fuand is going down!
"Whoah hold on hold on... no more!! ... argh... wow... I yield... you won... " Fuand says. He is breathing very heavy and appears to be on the brink of passing out. He surrenders...
The public roars and cheers the two brave wardens that won from the mighty Ogre Fuand!
DM Note : Finnan and Atlas both are awarded a Hero point for their bold fight with the mighty Ogre - well done!
Still on his knees Fuand says: "You truly are mighty warriors. I misjudged you by your small stature. Let's have a drink... beer's on me... and let's share some stories perhaps! Where are your friends? They can come too"
---------------------------------------
Seems not many wardens were worried about their fighting friends. Owen even leaves his family at the fighting ring and goes to check on those missing children. He finds a quiet place and begins scrying on the little children. Assuming Owen got the scarf from Rattlebones first. (scrying casting time is 1 hour - so we will have to wait a bit for getting those results in)
Armand too is intrigued by the large banner and tries to locate Miles Raynor. Finding the right direction towards the House of Horror isn't difficult at all as the banner Rattlebones conjured up is showing the way. Armand and Yurneshi leave their fighting friends and go to check on the House of Horror... On their way over they notices Miles is also heading that way...
Vamirbows to the old witch and sends Melzat to his room... the little willow isn't too happy about that but of course does as Vamir asks. Then Vamir casts broom of flying and kicks up into the air.
Something of someone is taking advantage of the confusion... Elyngael needs to get back to her friends and inform them of what she has seen so far... while she was expecting the crowd would move towards the House of Horror it seems not too many are impressed with the huge sign that reads CHILDREN MISSING...
sad but true...
At the House of Horror there's no sign still of the missing kids.

Finnan pants and tries not to collapse. "Whoa you are pretty tough. It took too of us." He stands leans back stretching and wipes the sweat from his brow. At that point he notices the banner in the air. He quickly points to it. "That can't be good." He rushes over to his gear and starts putting it on. "I'm afraid drinks will have to wait Fraund."
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet d20+30=42 ; Sunday February 23rd, 2020 3:21:30 PM
Armand tries to get a sense of things as he works his way to the House of Horrors. The people of the Tree are a community that have been through a lot and work together a lot. He activates (Touch of Glory (6/d) grant touched creature cleric level bonus on charisma based skill check). As he goes he starts calling out to people he knows. Diplomacy 42 (d20+30)
"There's children missing. Jeddah and Elsa. We need to start a search. Start forming at the House of Horrors. Miles Raynor will organize the ground search. Ciyradyl Ilyndrathyl will open up the Tree Top Tavern and organize a search of the Tree itself in case the kids went back home." He realizes he may be overstepping his authority but time is of the essence in finding missing children. Either they are injured, in trouble, or about to learn an object lesson from playing a prank.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 116/116 Sunday February 23rd, 2020 4:20:51 PM
Elyngael hears Armand's plea for help and rushes over to him. She tries gather round people for the search. "Armand, a pony from the ride has been brutally killed. The tracks were muddled, but I could tell from the wounds that it was not a blade. Something is stalking this carnival and not for fun and games!"
Yurneshi (Kent) AC:25 (21) / T(23)17 / F(20)16; HP: 109/85 CMD: 24 energy resistance 20 fire, spell resistance, Mage armor, stoneskin, bear's endurance Sunday February 23rd, 2020 5:51:34 PM
Moving with Armand and Vamir, Neshi hear Elyngael and replies What kind of wounds? Claw, fang? What size track?
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 71/71; CMD: 20 Sunday February 23rd, 2020 9:41:08 PM
Owen continues to cast Scrying, taking his time to properly set up the spell.

Vamir flies about Yurneshi's head keeping up with the Wemic's pace. Hearing Armand call out for a search of the tree Vamir calls out, "I will go ask the tree directly. She can give us an indication of children on, and in her." Vamir flies over to the tree, and reverently lands on an upper branch. The witch takes of one glove, and gently lays it on the tree,"Hello old friend, I am sorry to bother you so late but we are looking for two children who have gone missing this evening. Have you seen, or heard of these children in the last few hours. Their names are Jeddah, and Elsa."
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 34 (T 21+1 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 132/132 Monday February 24th, 2020 3:50:41 PM
Atlas sighs in relief, then gives Finnan an enthusiastic fist bump. Looking to the ogre, "I thought you had us. It was a great fight, but 2 on 1, so why don't I buy the drinks?"
Atlas joins Fuand on the way to the tavern, looking about for his friends as he goes.
'Osul(Graham) AC:18 (T:17, FF:15), CMD:24, Saves:(F:10/R:8/W:16 + RNL), HP:81/81, Wildshape(XV):6/7 Large Air Elemental, Lightning Lord:13/13, Storm Burst:10/10 Monday February 24th, 2020 4:24:31 PM "Finnan, thank you for that. May I attend to your wounds?" If he agrees, 'Osul casts Heal on him.
"Atlas, Fuand, there is something that needs our investigating. You can come with us, but the drinks must wait."
'Osul finishes helping Finnan and Atlas into their armor (offerring Atlas some healing as well), before heading off in the direction of the signage and the House of Horror.
DM StevenVdB - "These young twigs are no longer with us..." Monday February 24th, 2020 7:40:23 PM
The fightclub comes to an end and having seen the enormous sign in the sky, Finnan thinks it is wisest to go check it out before getting drunk. Atlas though is up for a drink first and looks about for his friends on his way to the tavern. Fuand has a limp now that his kneecap has been remodeled... as they go the Ogre digs up a potions and drinks it... almost immediately his limp improves. However 'Osul stops Atlas from walking away. There are more urgent matters that beer drinking. He wants Atlas to follow him to the rest of the Tree Wardens. Fuand nods and follows you to the House of Horror.
Back at the House of Horror Armand tries to get a sense of things. He urges people to help looking for the children. The Tree locals of course want to help but a carnival does attract a lot of outsiders as well. At first they don't really worry... after all kids go play hide and seek all the time! Especially at a carnival. But with the Clerics persuasive behavior more seem willing to help. Miles will indeed organize part of the search...
"Did anyone check the House of Horror?!?" Miles asks Armand...
While Armand and Miles begin organizing the search Elyngael joins up and breaks the news of the brutally killed pony to them. Miles looks horrified. Neshi wants to know what kind of wounds they were... claw, fang? Size tracks?... the wounds were made by something large that's for sure... the few prints El saw were large.
Vamir hears Armand calling out for a search and calls back that he will go ask the Tree directly...
"These young twigs are no longer with us..." the Tree replies calmly. (DM note - I don't exactly know how the interaction goes with the Tree... so I may fall out of order here.)
Meanwhile evening is setting and candles are lit all through the fistival ground. The flickering light creates a strange atmosphere.
It takes some time to mobilize everyone. About enough time for Owen to set up his scrying spell... what follows is most disturbing... he senses nothing at all...
Rattlebones (Tanner) -- HP 104 | AC 17/16/-- | CMD 13 | F+14/R+10/W+21 Monday February 24th, 2020 8:46:44 PM "This is curious." Rattlebones scratches at his chin. "A locate creature spell has limited range, and can be blocked by a thin sheet of lead, but scrying does not have those limitations. It should work regardless of physical materials between the caster and the target, and even on other planes! Either the children have had a nondetection spell cast on them... Or they are no longer living."
OOC: The lack of a Will save (resisting scrying) or caster level check ( nondetection spell) implies the lack of a target for scrying, which means they are likely dead.
(DM note : all true... )
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 116/116 Monday February 24th, 2020 8:54:54 PM OOC Actually you told me ". there are a number of tracks around her... most from the ponies, though there are other humanoid prints too. Could be visitors. Could be the owners. could be the killers... difficult to say. " You never told me there were a few large prints or I would have started tracking them or with the survival role I made should have been able to identify them.
(DM note : yes forgot to add there were large tracks... I doubt you could have identified them...)
"It was some powerful creature. I'm afraid the tracks were all muddied and obscured from the other ponies and such that I could not tell for sure. Whatever it was left the pony dead and was unseen."
Armand (Robert D) AC 25/touch11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Monday February 24th, 2020 9:00:13 PM OOC Okay I'm confused. Where did all these people come from if they are not residents from the Tree? The Tree is the only community for miles/days of travel around here. It's in the middle of a trade route and the only people that generally visit here are caravans on their way to or from someplace. That pretty much has been established for some time. Are these missing children from the Tree?
(DM note : of course there are many others. Even the circus is not part of the Tree residents. The circus and other entertainers were invited to make this carnival happen. Many came... and of course the very same invitation drew a lot of other people also who are here to watch and participate.
No these two kids are not from Tree. )
Armand looks at the House of Horrors. Is this a tent as well? How large is it?"I don't believe anyone has gone into the house at this time." He replies to Miles. He looks around. "Who is in charge of this attraction?" He shouts.
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 71/71; CMD: 20 Monday February 24th, 2020 10:25:28 PM
Owen casts Fly on himself to get a good vantage on the carnival. Spotting the rest of the Wardens, he swoops down and tells them the bad news. "My scrying revealed nothing... and not because the spell failed." He casts Detect Magic and looks over the House of Horrors.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 34 (T 21+1 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 132/132 Tuesday February 25th, 2020 12:21:31 AM
Atlas quickly moves on from the fight and works with Armand and Miles to organize the search, but upon hearing from Owen and Vamir, he says out loud what others might be thinking, "Those two combined leave me thinking that this isn't a rescue mission any more." Then, hearing from Armand, he says, I'll check the House of Horrors. Finnan, Fuand, you have my back? Anyone else want to go?"[/b]
Atlas doesn't waste time. He puts his armor back on and straps on his weapons, ready for anything. Then he heads into the House as soon as the others respond.
Finnan (Trey sub for Zach) Tuesday February 25th, 2020 12:26:34 AM
Finnan hurries about, first putting his gear back on, then working with the others. However, as soon as he hears Atlas is going into the House of Horrors he jumps in, "I'm with you. It would seem fitting that this place hold something unpleasant for us to find." He leaves the rest unsaid and stands next to Atlas and Fuand, ready to head in.

'Osul follows Atlas, Finnan and Fuand to the House of Horror and the rest of the wardens. He sniffs the air and asks, "It's not just the kids, is it?", to the wardens already present.

Vamir flys to Melzat, and sweeps him up. The young elf then swoops down to the Wardens, "The tree says the twigs are no longer with us. I think she means Jeddah and Elsa are no longer with us. What's next?" Vamit stores his broom, and prepares to enter with the others. Vamir takes the time to survey the are carefully, unsure what he is looking for but looking nonetheless.
DM StevenVdB - "This isn't a rescue mission any more" Tuesday February 25th, 2020 6:56:25 PM
Slowly it starts to sink in that the two missing children are presumably dead... Rattlebones realizes none of the spells to locate them succeeded and the Tree herself informed Vamir the twigs are no longer with you... Whatever killed the pony El confirms was something powerful...
Armand confirms no one has gone into the House of Horror yet and call out for whoever is in charge of this attraction... no one answers... the ticket booth is empty...
From his vantage point Owen casts detect magic and looks over the House of Horror... he only notices a lingering aura...
Atlas voices the grim thoughts many were probably thinking already. He's ready to enter the House of Horror and asks Fuand to join him. The mighty Ogre stands there violently shaking his head... "Fuand not go in there... " Then he brings his large head close to Atlas's... "You don't tell anyone but... Fuand is afraid of the dark.
Then Fuand says : "I will go look for Fransisco... the Circus owner and see what he knows about all this. He's a good guy..." Fuand hurries off... Atlas notices the mighty Ogre stays always in the light...
Finnan though is eager to go with Atlas into the House of Horror. So are 'Osul and Vamir...
Darkness has settled around the circus area. The missing children are still in your head but you do realize they are most likely dead... no one will dare speak those thoughts but where's the creature that killed the pony...
Atlas, Finnan, Owen, Vamir and 'Osul are entering the House of Horror.
Rattlebones, Elyngael and Armand make some perception checks please...
Miles rallies some people to start looking around the circus grounds...

Armand really begins to wonder what's going on. He dimly recalls a novel he read once called "Something Wicked This Way Comes". He takes out his glaive and casts Light on the blade to help out in the dimming light.
Perception Check; 26 (d20+7) nat 19
He continues to look about and asks about the mother. "Who is the mother that is missing these children?" He begins to wonder if this whole thing could be some sort of scam, part of him not wanting to believe that something would slay children.

Elyngael is with Armand. "I agree that something strange is occurring here. Normally there would be a distraught mother crying and screaming for her missing children. Something must have corrupted the Tree. It tells us that the twigs are no longer with us which we all think refers to the children. But how would the Tree be involved in missing children? This cursed carnival has brought its curse to our Tree!"

Finnan (Trey sub for Zach) Wednesday February 26th, 2020 10:19:18 AM
Finnan, healed up from his friends, is spry as he follows Atlas in. Having overheard Fuand, he chuckles to himself and says to Atlas, "So all we needed to do was put out a torch or two? Crazy."

Atlas laughs at both Fuand's words and Finnan's response, in a good natured way of course. He pats Fuand on the back as he goes so he knows that he doesn't think any less of him, then puts his work face on as he leads the group in. His head is on a swivl as he looks about to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. [b]"Owen, 'Osul, can either of you cast some light up here

DM StevenVdB - "This isn't a rescue mission any more" Wednesday February 26th, 2020 7:21:11 PM
Preparing to go into the House of Horror with the others, Yurneshi wants to know if anyone knows the layout of it. Since the one who runs the House is not here its doubtful anyone else has a good idea of what to expect. Still it seems a few people who have conquered the House of Horror earlier came back because of the banner
Its just a set of corridors and rooms that you go through sequentially. , one says, [b[There were no side tracks or anything. You simply go from one room to the other till you are back outside I guess its very scary for kids but well its fake you see but it did smell awful in there [/b]
Armand begins to wonder what exactly is going on here and recalls a novel he once read. He and Elyngael check to see where the mother is shes still standing there unable to act she looks bewildered and frightened. But shes not screaming or anything if that is what you would have expected.
When we get out of here then?, Osul says after hearing the info on the slain pony.
Finnan and Atlas finish their conversation with Fuand. With a bit of a laugh they say goodbye to Fuand before venturing into the House of Horror. Fuand nods and walks away.
Vamir, Rattlebones and Owen keep an eye out and prepare to go into the house as well.

Vamir steps back and looks at the tent, "If we cut the ropes to the stakes would 'Osul, or all of us who can fly be able to lift the canvas? If so we can just look in and not have to walk through the haunted house." Vamir turns to look at the crowd, but doesn't have knowledge religion.

Armand is alerted by some commotion over yonder. Knowledge Religion 26 (D20+17) So unless it's rare, I should be able to identify up to a CR 16 undead and tell what it is.
He immediately shouts, "GUYS WE GOT UNDEAD COMING THIS WAY!" To Miles, "Get these people to safety." Armand advances one move toward the undead....range? collateral damage? got lots so spells and they have pretty good ranges.

Neshi gets a whiff of the inside smell just about the same time the others point out the undead moving toward the center area..
"Ok everyone I think we have a target at this point. Any of you all know how to identify the type of undead or have a way to destroy them without endangering innocents?"
He starts searching through his mind for what spells he has that could be helpful.

Atlas feels the nudge from Finnan and turns to look. He takes a moment to think through it and then reacts, "Finnan, I don't know what might come from this House of Horrors, so I don't want to leave our back exposed. Keep an eye on it while we see what awaits ahead." To the others he says, "It looks like they're coming our way, so no need to leave Finnan by himself. Let's form up here. Armand, you mind taking the lead? The undead seem like a topic you might know a bit about." Atlas throws a wink in for good measure.

"It seems strange that they are just walking towards us and not attacking anyone. Shall we parley...with my sword?" Atlas laughs out loud, unable to help himself.

(Sorry folks I was out of town yesterday. If all posts get in before Sunday Ill make another post this weekend)
While examining the House of Horror Vamir suggest simply lifting the whole tent rather than venturing in the dark looking for more trouble.( Not a bad thought actually! compliments on your creativity of solving the matters at hand.) However then he notices the undead that are approaching. They are still over 150ft away but well they are on their way Osul too likes the idea of lifting the tent but right now you have more urgent matters. The fact that it is becoming harder telling the difference between the distractions and the actual trouble is not only a disturbing fact perhaps theres more truth to it than you might think
We got Undead coming this way! Armand shouts. Miles now also notices them and nods.
Yurneshi hopes someone can identify them and find a way to destroy the Undead without endangering innocent bystanders.
Speaking calmly to Brawn, Elyngael readies her bow for incoming.
Rattlebones flies overhead. Approx 150 ft he estimates.
Getting a nudge from Finnan, Atlas watches in the same direction. But Atlas also worries about things that might come from the House of Horror! Neshi agrees and cast a web over the Houses entrance.
Like Rattlebones, Owen to takes it to the sky calling out to the townsfolk.
The Undead approaching are identified as nothing more than simply zombies Now that everyone is paying attention to the zombies approaching several townsfolk are running away in the opposite direction.
Leon?!... Leon is that you!!, a young woman shouts if you trace her eyes you notice she is looking straight at one of the undead her husband perhaps? He looks about her age but the large cut in his abdomen doesnt look good
More people seem to recognise some of the undead!
But wait look at those two little kids near the front of the zombies dark hair a boy and a girl From the description Rattlebones gave earlier these kids must be Elsa and Jeddah!! Their mother is still looking in the direction of the House of Horror assuming her kids are still in there if the mother hasnt been hysteric so far she is about to become Their clothes are soaked in blood the slashing claw marks in their throats plant a sickening image in your mind that will forever haunt you as you close your eyes.
But thats not all
As the Wardens begin to realize the undead are coming from the circus, a large sized humanoid shaped mix of flesh, metal, glass, and wires, with a red crystal orb embedded in its metallic head walks straight towards you . DC 20 knowledge religion Highlight to display spoiler: { identifies the monster as an Iron Wight}
Miles shouts You take care of that thing well take care of the rest of the zombies As Miles is pointing straight at the Iron Wight you can only assume he wants you to get rid of the Wight

Not at all sure what he is seeing, Neshi take in all the metal and wires mixed in with human parts and grimaces as she sees the creature and the children and others it has killed.
Taking just a moment to collect himself, he whips off a lightning bolt that streaks right out a strikes the abhorrent creature and then strikes each of the other undead (up to 12)

Armand eyes the zombies. "Something wicked indeed." He looks at the monstrosity in the rear.
Knowledge Religion 21 (d20+17). "The front mass is zombies, but that thing in the rear is an Iron Wight, I've only heard vague legends about them. I believe we will need to use adamantine against it." He drops his glaive and pulls out his +1 adamantine hammer.
Then Armand casts Undeath to Death. Will Save 22 or 34HD of Undead is destroyed (13d4) (range medium, 100ft+130ft, 40 foot Radius burst) He is targeting the zombies (since creatures of more than 9HD are unaffected). As he finishes casting he will say "Gargul welcomes your souls poor creatures. Be with Lord Gargul."
OOC I'm assuming since there is no map that the Iron Wight is still at the 150 foot range, so it is not going to close this round.

'Osul shouts out to all and sundry, "HEY, AN IRON WIGHT!!!" and starts casting a summoning spell.
At the end of the round (hopefully) an augmented greater air elemental appears (55' closer to the Iron Wight, and hopefully now with most of the living away from it), and 'Osul while spinning his upward pointing finger in the air yells out in Auran Highlight to display spoiler: {"Sweep up the undead, and especially the iron wight!"}

Owen easily recognizes the Iron Wight, and tries to remember what he can about its abilities.
He realizes that it will be especially traumatizing for the circusgoers to see their undead loved ones hacked to pieces by Miles, so he swoops down and briefly confers with the Head of Security: "Miles, I'm going to put an illusion up around the regular undead. We don't want people seeing your men cutting down their family, even if they're undead. I'll leave places for your soldiers to enter without breaking the illusion; please quietly spread the word."
Then he soars upwards again and shouts "Powers of earth and stone! Rise at my command!" He casts a Major Image of a ten-foot high stone wall that encircles the regular undead. A set of four stone gates, spaced evenly around the circle, open whenever one of Miles' soldiers needs to pass through and then slam shut to foil prying eyes."[/b] Townsfolk and circusgoers must make a DC 20 Will save to disbelieve the Major Image.

Vamir shakes his head, and pulls out his broom. "Melzat, stay out of the way, and for goodness sake be safe!" The witch casts spectral hand causing 1 point of damage and flies 30 feet up the better to observe the field of battle.

Atlas spares a look back at Finnan, "Sit tight my friend, we're about to find out what this is all about. Granted, I may have to take a pee break by the time they get here, but Armand has it covered if that happens." He smirks at Finnan and then moves to make sure that as the undead approach they cannot hurt Armand without going through him, while also giving Armand a clear line of sight for talking to them should they be so inclined.

(There's no map on this one as there's but one enemy - if you do want a map let me know and I'll prepare one.)
The Wardens quickly identify the monster as an Iron Wight. Armand advises to use adamantine weapons against it. Yurneshi is the first to act... The Iron Wight is struck hard by the lightning bolt... it crackles through the wights body and then shoots off to the zombies nearby. The Zombies that are hit simply vapourize... the wight attempts to dodge the bolt but fails (Ref Save 17 - failure). While the bolt already was particularly powerful, it seems to hurt the Wight even more... Armand shows mercy on the zombies and tries to gather them in Lord Gargul's realm. Between Armand and Neshi no more Zombies are threathening you.
Hoping to bring an augmented air elemental to the carnival, 'Osul begins his summonning spell. (The Elemental will appear at the beginning of next turn as it takes a whole round to cast the spell - as it appears it will act immediately)
"That weasely barker had better have my refund ready after this, or I will put the fear of the Light into him.", Rattlebones mutters as he flies up in the air buffing himself.
Waiting for the Wight to come closer Elyngael takes out an adamantine arrow...
Owen does not want to plant haunting images into the minds of the circusgoers. So he conjurs up an image of a ten-foot high wall. Most of the people fo OHHH and AHHH as they witness what is happening.
Like Rattlebones, Vamir too takes it to the sky.
The Warden melee fighters Finnan and Atlas sit and wait for the Wight to come closer. Already their magic weaving friends are eating away at the monster so it's rather uncertain how much of the Wight will be left before it gets close.
Furious the Wight trashes forward over the dead undead. It makes a double move closing range to 30ft from you (who's in the frontline and who's in the read?) Elyngael shoots of her readied arrow as soon as the Wight comes within range. (please roll the readied arrow prior to your next turn)
Wight : damage 87 Range from your front line : 30ft

Seeing the success of his first bolt he follows up with a second.
Chain Lightning, 34 points damage, reflex save DC 24 for 17 points. (no secondary targets)

Vamir shrugs his shoulders, and points one finger at the wight causing a wall of thorns to encircle the undead. (The wall is 13 10x10x5 foot cubes so 10 foot thick on the sides and behind the wight, and 20 foot thick in the front if my math is correct).
She then shoots 1 arrow. (d20+17=21) Damage normal (d8+6=10) electrical (d6=3) She retreats 30 feet opting to stay at range for now. She calls on Brawn to get behind her to keep him out of the match.

Armand shakes his head at the wight's charge. "So much waste."
Armand casts Flame Strike. Reflex save 21 for half damage. Damage 34 (17 holy and 17 fire).
As he moves he passes his +1 adamantine hammer to Atlas. He then retreats 30 feet. "I think I'm going to do better casting some spells at this thing. But when it's done, we'll need to find who is responsible for creating these undead and then have them talk to Gargul about it."

Rattlebones surveys the scene for a moment, then speeds off on his broom. He circles around, looking for anyone who is not running and watching the chaos in the center of the carnival.

'Osul shouts to the newly summoned elemental in Auran, "Typhon, kindly spin-up, pick that up and drop it as far as you can away from us?" Reflex save to avoid slam damage and a second reflex to avoid being sucked up into the whirlwind. Typhon has plenty of movement to attempt several times if required. "Stand your ground? Anyone?"

Atlas gives a glare back to Finnan, then he rushes forward and attacks with his longsword, ensuring that he is blocking the path between the wight and his friends.

The Iron Wight closes range fast. Elyngael lets fly her readied Adamantine arrow from her shocking Longbow... bows don't come any better when facing a Wight as not only does the Adamantine goes right through the damage reduction, the shocking damage also does more damage than it normally would!
Neshi is pleased to see his lightning bolt do so much damage. So he follows up with a second one! (Forgot the Wight's spell resistance. Please make a caster level check vs DC21 for the spell to be succesful) If the spell penetrates the SR21 : Ref save 32 succes : damage 17+50% = damage 25HP
Hoping to stop the advance of the Wight Vamir conjures up a Wall of Thorns around it. 10ft on the sides and back. 20ft in front. Upon touching or going through the Wight takes 2HP damage per round. Without any dispelling magic the wights only option is to try and pass through the briars. STR check 27 vs DC20. The Wight moves to the sides and manages to move 5ft into the wall. As the wight moves into the briars it takes 2HP damage.
Elyngael shouts a second arrow. This one though misses the wight.
"So much waste, Armand says. A massive flamestrike engulfs the wight. (Please make a caster level check vs SR21 to see if it is succesfull. If so, Ref save 14 : failure. Damage
Not interfering with the battle, [b]Rattlebones remains up in the air hoping to catch a glimpse of who ever is resonsible for this mess.
'Osul hopes his Air Elemental will clean up the trash... Ref save 1 : 33 - natural 1 / Ref save 2 : 32 ) The wight avoids most of the damage and fights not to be picked up by the Whirlwind.
Finnan gives Atlas a nudge to get out and fight the wight. Atlas nods at Finnan, draws his longsword and runs towards the Wight. However he stops as he gets close to the Briars.
Wight : Round 1 damage 87+11+6 = total 104 damage
Round 2 Neshi : 25HP (please roll caster level check vs SR21) Vamir : 2HP Armand : 34HP(please roll caster level check vs SR21) 'Osul : 6HP TOTAL: 171 HP (IF BOTH SR CHECKS ARE SUCCESSFULL!)
Range from your front line : 25ft as he is stopped by the Briars.

Spell Resistance check 22 (d20+12) (for the Flame Strike)
Armand tries to pass his +1 hammer to Atlas but apparently Atlas is not paying attention. He considers his next move carefully. He decides to cast Holy Smite at the wight.
Holy Smite, spell resistance 31 (d20+13). Will Save 20 for 1/2 damage and no blindness. Damage 34 (5d8) and blinded for 1 round if fails save.

Vamir watches from above, his spectral hand floating near his shoulder. The witch retrieves his wand of bestow curse and waits to see the wights next move.
SR 29 Neshi's lightening bolts strikes home again and decides to try something a little different this time around, sending a thing green ray streaking toward the beast and striking it solidly.

Atlas, in his haste, completely overlooked the briar...until it poked him! He holds steady on his side of the briar and readies an attack should the wight make it through. While he waits, he takes a moment to look into it's eyes to see what is there. Then he makes some faces at it for good measure.

Struggeling to get out of the briars, the Iron Wight screams in rage... since the Wardens have managed to cast spells penetrating the Wight's spell resistance it has sustained massive damage so far but it just seem to keep on coming. No parlé for this creature!
Noticing Atlas is not paying attention to the hammer he is offering, Armand casts holy smite at the Wight! (Will save 17 - failure - OMG the dice are against the Wight) and asks Rattlebones to keep an eye on the Circus... Vamir observes from his vantage point.
Neshi truely is on a roll! The thin green ray hits the Wight (fort save 29) and... is entirely disintegrated leaving behind only a trace of fine dust...
Owen thinks over his options...
Trying to make it even harder for the poor Wight Elyngael casts Engtangle on top of the briars... (ref save 29 - success - if even possible inside the briars)
Following Armand's advice, Rattlebones keeps an eye on the circus...
Seeing how lightning bites through the Wight with such efficiency, 'Osul adds some more... (ref save 30) However the Wight is unable to dodge the second lightning bolt...

Neshi once again has a look of surprise on his face as his disintegration spell actually disintegrated their opponent.
He looks again to make sure it isn't trick of the eye and then turns to his friends as Armand sends his comment out.
Shaking his head, Neshi looks a bit abashed and then responds. "Thanks. Though before now I had only heard of that spell working that way, but it has worked perfectly both times Iv'e cast it, thank Eberyon.
Well, I webbed the the haunted house entry before this all started so we should perhaps go check out the main tent like you suggest.

Elyngael sees the Wight drop and lets out a breath of relief. Things have really quieted down, so she easily hears Armand's request to gather people together. She and Brawn walk around and reassure the dazed people that they need to come with them. Everyone gathers near Armand and slowly begin to talk quietly as their senses return.

Atlas looks about to see if anyone notices that he's covering for the fact that he didn't see or hear anyone say anything about the hammer. Under his breath he says to himself, "What is wrong with you, you're stumbling around like a castle guard. Wake up Atlas."
In response to his own encouragement, he walks back to Finnan and stands ready to take on whatever is revealed when the tent lifts.

The Wardens are quick to congratulate one another. Armand compliments Neshi's disintegrate spell. Then Armand asks for Owen to have the elemental lift the House of Horror.
Impressed by his own spells Yurneshi thanks Eberyon for his powers.
So far Rattlebones didn't spot any suspicious bystanders. Elyngael gathers the people together. You can hear cries when some find the mutilated remains of their relatives. Vamir is mostly concerned about the well being of the townsfolk.

Inside the House of Horror it seems quite abandonned apart from the synister music that accompanies the horibbly disfiguered people that crumbled to the floor.

Vamir briefly watches as the elemental lifts the tent, and then makes his way through the crowd. The young witch talks briefly with everyone who is willing, hugging some, praying with others, and trying to calm the most angry. Melzat runs to Vamir, and gives his leg a hug, "Melzat worry! Melzat happy!" Vamir hugs the willow and the two slowly walk back towards the group.

DM Jeremy Friday March 6th, 2020 5:47:36 AM
Just thought I'd interrupt for some clarification. Iron Wights are undead, not golems. Undead may or may not be under the control of someone else, while golems are usually automatons. Armand, and I believe Osul, properly identified the creature, so this is something your characters would know, though it's easy to miss as a player.
Finnan (Trey posting for Zach) Friday March 6th, 2020 3:34:36 PM
Finnan watches the tent go up, then when nothing exciting happens he looks over at Atlas and begins to laugh. "Thought you were finally going to stick something with that sword, eh?"

Atlas watches the test go up as well, but when he hears Finnan laughing he looks over at him and punches him...in the arm, and not that hard, but hard enough to make him feel it. "Like you've done anything more!" Unable to help himself, he begins to laugh as well. "Hey Armand, I was off my game a bit there. Can you scare up another so that I can show Finnan how to fight?"
After a few moments Atlas remembers that some kids have likely died. The reality of it abruptly stops his laughing.

DM StevenVdB - This whole thing is most confusing... d20+20=40 ; d20+24=39 ; Sunday March 8th, 2020 2:29:07 PM
(DM Note : maybe I phrased it wrong I meant the music from the Haunted House matches the sight of the zombies that just got slain and I described the dead zombies as the disfigured people crumbled to the floor... There are (currently) no zombies in the Haunted House nor slain bodies (yet) )
Even in situations like this Finnan tries to keep up the spirit making jokes with Atlas. As they both watch the tent go up, the fighter is amused at first but then he realizes some of the kids must have died as well That reality stops his laughing.
Vamir spends some time caring for the crowd. Both residents and strangers are here praying and weeping together. As he does, Melzat runs up to him. Owen frowns at the dead zombies. Tending for the dead Vamir finds the missing children their mother in a state of shock on her knees next to them. Shes not even crying
Whatever transpired here is very confusing for Armand he hopes to shed more light on the situation with a True Seeing spell. Neshi and Osul keep an eye out for things of interest If things were vague before they seem to stay that way (DM checks: 40 (nat 20) vs DC20 and 39 vs DC37 success)
Elyngael decides to separate the residents from the people linked to the carnival. The ones who do not live in Tree are herded towards Atlas. Rattlebones too hopes to get more clues about this place he lands his broom next to the fallen Wight and casts Detect Magic. The Wight isnt magic nor is its gear (and like DM Jeremy pointed out its not a golem) but among the crowd a powerful aura can be felt

casting a stoneskin spell to complement his mage armor spell, Neshi looks around some more as he feels an somewhat powerful and yet unknown aura coming from somewhere in the crowd.

Which implies to us that these people were INSIDE the House of Horrors because that's where we were looking and you said floor, the zombie attack was outside of tent area and thus should have been dirt or ground. You then corrected that "I meant the music from the Haunted House matches the sight of the zombies that just got slain and I described the dead zombies as the disfigured people crumbled to the floor... There are (currently) no zombies in the Haunted House nor slain bodies" So WHAT did we SEE inside the House of Horrors since the tent side is open for us to look in?
Armand cast Detect Magic to complement True Seeing. He still wonders what he is seeing inside the house of horrors. He scans across the open tent area and then slowly rotates 360 degrees just letting his spells inform him of any irregularities. If he should see any magical auras where they shouldn't be or if his true seeing hints at things not in their right form he will immediate signal the Wardens.
"Can someone please make that music stop? Elyngael? Atlas? Finnan?" He asks. Then he projects his voice loudly.

HOWEVER, we ask that all those directly involved with the running and owning of any attractions in this carnival circus stay here. Failure to do so will imply your guilt."

DM StevenVdB - This whole thing is most confusing... d20+24=34 ; Monday March 9th, 2020 7:14:43 PM (DM Steven : Im first going to address Roberts post and mail concerning the House of Horror
Please know this was/is meant to be a horror style module and, horror is not all about blood and gore. More often its about not knowing your enemy not knowing where to look for danger when or where it will strike. One of you said it correctly in the past few weeks its been difficult to see the actual from the distractions. You have had a few clues and several distractions .
In this case I apparently have to give away one of these distractions as the Horror House is nothing but one of those. The children missing near the house. All to make you anxious to go inside while in fact the danger is elsewhere. Even the children and their mother werent but a distraction for setting the scene and to make you look in all directions The confusion about soil, dirt, floor is only to blame for me not being native English and often missing the richness and subtle difference in the English language but thats a sorry excuse.
Let me summarize:
A) Sensing your frustrations I have to give you this. Theres nothing dangerous inside the horror house. Never was, never will. The horror house is but a distraction. If you would have gone inside I would have described a visit to an actual house of horror. I indeed havent described the house once the tents gone up as I wasnt expecting you too look much longer in that direction since the zombies didnt came from that direction ah yes it could have been just another distraction in this case it wasnt.
B) The music is not a clue at all I always love the music when I visit a house of horror. The dark sinister sounds that accompany the macabre images or displays. The manikins, the skeletons, the fake blood often it all comes alive thanks to the music. In this case, youve just slain a bunch of zombies and an Iron Wight I just felt the music was most fitting that scene the music wasnt in the module just me trying to set the scene.
C) There is indeed a magic aura that you have spotted in the crowd and Im well aware of the True Seeing and Detect magic spells that were cast. I will gladly explain all this when we are further in this module.
I hope this addresses your frustrations. Admitted it WAS my intentions to cause confusion and, like you said, to make you wonder what is actual and what are distractions it was NOT my intentions to make you feel bad or frustrated. If that is the case I apologize)
Assuming Rattlebones informs his friends about the magic aura, Neshi casts an additional protective spell on him. Hopefully they will pinpoint the aura soon
Getting the hint from Rattlebones, Armand complements his True Seeing spell with an additional Detect Magic He starts looking at the House of Horror and then slowly scans 360° the House gives no clues but as soon as he looks into the direction of the carnival people he as well can sense the magic aura that hides among them. As Armand scans the crowd, Owen flies over the crowd looking for someone suspicious. Theres not something that really looks out of place nor does Armands True Seeing shows anything out of the ordinary.
Then Armand projects his voice loudly ordering everyone not involved with the carnival to leave the place and those that are involved with it to stay around. It takes some time for all the Tree residents to leave the place. Most of the carnival people where already rounded up by Elyngael earlier. Atlas keeps an eye on the carnival group. For Armand and Rattlebones the magic aura they spotted is still among the group
Quickly now the irritating music is stopped. Elyngael, Osul, Finnan walk through the exposed house of horror. Now that the tent is gone and the music has stopped there really isnt much horror-like about it anymore. Theres a lot of fake skeletons, spiders, webs, blood, vampires and so on.
Vamir comforts the mother. Shes rather catatonic but still shows signs of gratitude as Vamir cares for her and her children.
Rattlebones concentrates and isolates 1 older looking man dressed in robes, leaning on a staff he emanates a strong aura

Armand begins to work his way through the crowd of the circus/carnival workers. Perception 8 (d20+7) ugg bad roll, I assume it aplies to normal vision and picking up on body language for clues. Magical auras and True Sight things will I assume jump out more.
"It's time's like these I wish I would keep a Commune spell handy to speak with Gargul, or Speak with Dead so I could question the unfortunate victims." He shakes his head as he moves through the group.
True Sight will last 13 minutes, not sure what sort of time frame we are working with. Detect Magic will last 13 minutes, but I can recast it if time runs out.

Elyngael has a problem - she doesn't know what to do next. It looks like people are out of danger, the music is no longer, the House of Horrors is a fake. She looks at the other Wardens for a clue. The only odd thing is Rattlebones staring at an old man. Or is he? She is starting to doubt her own sight during this confusing day.

He flies 60 feet toward the old man.

Finnan finishes the search with the others and is slightly disappointed in the results. He looks about and sees what the others are doing, but decides to stick with his new mates a bit longer.

Atlas uses his loud voice to split the folks up. As he does so he looks for a few able bodied young men that are not part of the circus and sends them on an errand to find Milo, wherever he may be. "Ask him if he'll take charge of the folks from the Tree of Parting, merchants, travelers, and all. I'll circle back to the circus folks and see what comes of that group." With that, Atlas checks in on the circus folk and tries to determine their demeanor before he decides how to act.

Neshi hears Rattlebones and also makes a move towards the mystery man!
Near the Haunted House Finnan and Osul are a bit disappointed about not finding anything immediately but they do not intend to give up easy.
While his friends have now isolated one older man, who is emanating a strong magical aura, the rest of the carnival people are herded by Atlas. Some are send away to finding Milo. The rest he checks before he acts. Atlas notices another figure acting a bit strange at the back of the group. Looks like that one is trying to stay out of sight. (stealth check 28 vs perception 30)

Then he responds to the old man. "Well frankly some answers would be nice. You have to admit," Armand waves to the recent undead remains, "things have gone a little weird with your circus. What is your position with the circus? Can you explain any of what's been going on here? And perhaps more to the point why do you radiate such strong magic?"

With all the recent distractions Armands on edge. Perhaps the old man emanating a powerful aura is also just a distraction?! Having a couple of spell monitors active he hopes to see the actual Detect magic shows a powerful aura emanating from the old man no doubt about that. The True Seeing reveals the old man as he is an old man No illusion, no polymorphed person, nothing like that but he could be simply using a mundane disguise true seeing would not help Armand to see through that
Owen gets Armands hint. He looks around and then focuses on the old man. If hes going to use that staff, Owen will have some counter actions ready. Elyngael and Rattlebones too have their attention fixed on the old man
Vamir had just about enough of this after gently squeezing the mothers hand he stomps straight towards the old man. Melzat trailing behind.
When Armand and Vamir speak directly and not very subtle at the old man, this last one eyeballs them with a puzzled look on his face. This is not my circus Sir Im Gunthred, the healer. When artists get hurt they come to me for patching them up again. I dont know what transpired here Then Gunthred looks down at his own clothes and hands trying to see that magic radiation Armand mentions What magic?!?; he asks...
Not taking part in the conversation Osul is mainly interested in the staff Gunthred is carrying. It looks like a nice, wooden, quarterstaff often used by older man to lean on Finnan has nothing immediate to contribute so he makes sure no one will be able to sneak uo to them.
Could this be just another distraction!?!
Atlas however did notice someone else at the back of the group who's been trying to stay out of sight from his clothes you would assume he's a stable boy. Without making a stealth check Atlas tries to sneak up on this stable boy (perception 34) and attempts to grapple him.
Wielding a shield, Atlass Grapple check suffers a -4 for not having his two hands free. Your AC in the header corresponds to wielding the shield. That would result in a grapple check of 32 instead of 36. Atlas has no Improved Grapple feature so is subject to an AoO The stable boy waits for Atlas to come closer and then lashes out his hand to touch Atlas! (Theres a small mistake on your character sheet. Atlass Touch AC is only 17 as both armor and shields are not taken into account for the Touch AC) Negative Energy touch hits AC17 damage 17 CMB of Atlas after AoO is 36-17 or 32-17 = 19 or 15 vs CMD 20 (10+7BAB+2STR+1DEX)
With or without shield, Atlas fails to grapple the man at the back by now everyone has their eyes on Atlas and the new one While the rest of the Wardens see nothing but a stable boy , Armand now has the full potential of his True Seeing!! (no longer using stealth checks - true seeing does not reveal creatures that are simply hiding...)
Armand Highlight to display spoiler: {now sees a creature wearing expensive robes made of fine silk. A pale blue light shines from where its eyes used to be. Oddly it's not radiating any magic aura. }

Elyngael throws her hands up in the air. "What the does 'welcome friends' mean. I mean it's not us that went anywhere, it's that guy that is on our turf." She shakes her head. Not knowing what to do she decides to look around the area to see if there are any other skulkers or the like. Perception (d20+19=28). Then she tells Brawn, "If you scent anything not human growl and point the way." Brawn's Perception Scenting (d20+4=15)

Rattlebones rises another 60 feet in the air (double move, now 120 feet total) to get an easy view of everything.
He then spins around, keeping an eye out for the visual manifestation of magic within several miles.

Spellcraft: 40. Owen identifies the spell for the others. "That was dimension door... he's still nearby. Within about a thousand feet, I would hazard. Be careful, everyone."
Owen casts True Seeing on himself. He then flies higher for a vantage point and looks for the creature. Perception: 33.

Having had his eyes on the old man that Armand was focusing on, Neshi does not see the other guy until he hears Atlas cry out and by then it is too late. At Owen calling out of the spell Neshi starts looking around for anyone that suddenly pops into existence within several hundred feet.

Atlas, having completely fumbled his half-hazard attempt to grab the person, flinches in pain as he feels the spell hit him. Not wasting any time, he yells to the group "Got a hot one here!", but sees that Armand and Owen have already seen what was going on and responded. He takes a moment to regroup and looks about to see where the thing might have gone.
ooc: Sorry for the late post, on vacation. Also, thanks for mentioning the Touch being wrong. I had a bad calculation and was double counting my dex bonus.
DM StevenVdB - WE HAVE A TARGET! Friday March 13th, 2020 6:50:56 PM HE is not human!, Armand relates as he finally sees the true shape of the stable boy. The cleric fails to identify the spell thats been cast just before this person vanished
Frustrated Elyngael asks : What does the welcome friends mean!?. Shes right! After all hes on your turf! She walks around the area to see if she can find something out of the ordinary and asks Brawn to put his nose to use. El doesnt see much, but Brawn quickly finds the trail of the Zombies that were here earlier that leads into the general direction of the circus
Up in the air, Rattlebones flies even higher hoping his detect magic radar will pinpoint the magical manifestations. Below the seer sees several magical auras but that would be the Wardens gear popping up on the radar. Theres but one other blip on Rattlebones visor the circus area the blip looks rather strong no way to tell just how many small blips are there
No spell cast gets by Owen. He identifies the Dimension Door that just has been cast. That also means the one that [Atlas[/b] tried to grab earlier is not that far from you putting all pieces together you could say Rattlebones big blip would be within the Dimension Door range
Osul gets his bearing and is ready to move.
Down on the ground Vamir looks at the old man who claims to be the circus healer, and asks the crowd to confirm what Gunthred said. Yes yes he is! several with the circus people say. What just happened to Frank?! someone else asks. You can only assume hes talking about the stable boy dont forget virtually everyone has seen what just happened at the back of the group between Atlas and the stable boy Frank.
Finnan and Atlas are ready and eager to move out. Question is, if you dare to stomp straight at the Circus an area that clearly emanates powerful magical aura(s) without preparation
Night has fallen. The sky is mainly open with patches of clouds occasionally covering a crescent moon. The carnival grounds are lit with countless candles and torches still but theres hardly any activity left Tree residents have been ordered to go home and the remaining circus people are huddled together. Gunthred, the old man, no longer emanates a magical aura Knowledge Arcana DC22 makes you realize the spell active on Gunthred was Highlight to display spoiler: {Misdirection. This allowed the spellcaster to misdirect the results from the Detect Magic spells that were cast earlier}
The path towards the Circus tents is also abundantly lit with torches so you would not have any difficulty to find your way in the dark.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 116/116 Friday March 13th, 2020 8:37:16 PM
OOC I'm confused and could really use a map of where everything is. What is the difference between the circus tent and the House of Horrors? Are these two separate things? What sort of distances are involved here?
Elyngael notes Brawn pointing the way toward the circus tent. (tents? how many tents are there?)
She speaks up, "Brawn is saying the enemy is in the circus tent." She still has an adamantine arrow notched.

Armand hears Elyngael shout as he racks his brain trying to identify the creature. "Hmm, maybe it's not an magical creature or an outsider. Maybe it's some sort of deity of devil." Knowledge Religion 32 (d20+17)
He then returns to the matter at hand. "You know I for one am quite tired of all this. I say we shred the tents and bring whatever or whoever is behind all this out into the open. Owen can you have your air elemental friend start destroying the circus tents?"
He then casts Air Walk and starts walking into the air about 20 feet high.

"So we have a Lich around? And one that can use a dimension door spell as well. I'm not sure I like where this is going. Thoughts, ideas?"
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 71/71; CMD: 20; Fly, True Seeing Sunday March 15th, 2020 5:26:02 PM
Owen asks Gunthred about his aura: "Did you know that you were under the effects of Misdirection, or was that an especially cheeky move on Frank's part?"
He smiles at 'Osul when Armand tells him to direct the air elemental. He speaks to his friend in Auran: Highlight to display spoiler: {"Why is it that they can never keep our names straight? We should start mixing up Armand and Atlas to see how they like it."}
Owen then speaks to the group generally: "I suppose we have a moment to ready ourselves before moving in. What's the plan?"

Vamir pauses as the crowd vouches for the old man, and waits for him to answer Owen. Vamir chokes down his frustration and anger, knowing this is not the time to think with his emotions. Vamir looks at Owen, "Those of us that can fly should do so, hopefully limiting chances to flee, we should advance at the same speed as those on the ground. I can cast see invisible on a few of us, well 6 of us but that will wipe out my second level spells. I don't have a clue about lich abilities so any information there would be fantastic."
"Although this isnt directly stated in the Core Rulebook, many elements of the game system work assuming that all spells have their own manifestations, regardless of whether or not they also produce an obvious visual effect, like fireball. You can see some examples to give you ideas of how to describe a spells manifestation in various pieces of art from Pathfinder products, but ultimately, the choice is up to your group, or perhaps even to the aesthetics of an individual spellcaster, to decide the exact details. Whatever the case, these manifestations are obviously magic of some kind, even to the uninitiated; this prevents spellcasters that use spell-like abilities, psychic magic, and the like from running completely amok against non-spellcasters in a non-combat situation. Special abilities exist (and more are likely to appear in Ultimate Intrigue) that specifically facilitate a spellcaster using chicanery to misdirect people from those manifestations and allow them to go unnoticed, but they will always provide an onlooker some sort of chance to detect the ruse."
Rattlebones (Tanner) -- HP 104 | AC 17/16/-- | CMD 13 | F+14/R+10/W+21 Monday March 16th, 2020 1:49:08 AM
OOC: Holy cow, I'm tired. I meant wouldn't Atlas get an AoO against the spellcasting lich?
DM Jeremy Edit: I think DM Steven simply forgot to mention that the Lich took a 5ft step away before casting, because it is pretty standard policy for a caster, and something a powerful being such as a Lich would most certainly do..
Finnan (Trey posting for Zach) Monday March 16th, 2020 1:51:57 PM
Finnan regroups with the others, stepping up next to Rattlebones and taking a deep breath before saying, "Ah, just a lich? I thought we had an undead horde after us. This should be a piece of cake, if we can find him."
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 34 (T 17 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 121/138 Monday March 16th, 2020 1:53:57 PM
Atlas also returns to the group, still shaking off that deadly touch. "A lich you say? Well, I can tell you that his touch certainly hurts." Looking about he spots 'Osul and Owen talking, "What are you two up to? It doesn't look good...for me anyway."
Don't we need to find some sort of object that is associated with him in order to really be rid of it?
DM Jeremy Battle Map Monday March 16th, 2020 7:10:19 PM OOC The site is both a traveling circus and carnival. Like any traveling carnival, there are a variety of games and exhibits, some are sheltered in large tents, such as the House of Horrors, and some are outdoors, such as the boxing ring. The tents/exhibits are laid out in city blocks much like any fair or carnival, with an exceptionally large tent at the end furthest from the Tree. This tent is the Big Top for the circus portion of the fair/circus combination. DM Steven has been referring to the Big Top as the circus tent, which of course it is, however Im thinking the small language barrier has caused some confusion. Again, for the record, the House of Horrors is just one of many exhibit tents, and as Steven has shared, the scene has moved beyond it, and you are now about three blocks from the Big Top.
Elyngael has an arrow at the ready as she tells everyone that Brawns is leading towards the Big Top.
Armand realizes that the stable boy everyone calls Frank, isnt an outsider or magical, but his religion check does identify him as a human lich (undead), but he can tell that this isn't any ordinary lich. He shares his knowledge with the others, then asks Osul to have his summoned elemental start ripping up the tents, as he casts air walk and takes to the air.
Neshi is worried about a lich, especially one that can cast dimensional door. He asks if anyone has any ideas, and asks if there is some sort of object they need to find associated with the lich.
Osul agrees with Elyngael, and likes Armands idea. He has Typhoon join as they head to the Big Top.
Owen asks Gunthred if he realised he was the subject of the misdirection spell of if Frank was messing with him as well. He cracks a joke with Osul about everyone messing up their names. He suggests they take a moment to form a plan.
Vamir is satisfied that Gunthred is innocent, He suggests that those who can fly should, advancing at the same speed as the ground crew. He asks if anyone has any ideas about Lich abilities.
Rattlebones looks to see if he notices any visible signs caused by the dimensional door spell.
Finnan isnt overly concerned about dealing with a lich.
Atlas makes it clear that the lichs touch hurts. He wonders what Owen and Osul are up to.
Some of the party suggests making a plan, while Armand, Osul and his elemental friend join Rattlebones in the air. From their birdseye view, Armand, Osul and Rattlebones see three bandage wrapped humanoids heading in the general direction of the rest of the Wardens. Rattlebones didnt see any visible signs created by Franks Spell.
Gunthred answers Owen saying, I didnt even know Frank had any magical abilities, and now you are saying hes a lich, what is this world coming to! Of course I didnt know he was using a misdirection spell, I m not sure I even know what a misdirection spell is!".
Armand (Robert D) AC 29(n25)/touch11/flat 28(n24) HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet d20+17=25 ; Monday March 16th, 2020 7:54:31 PM OOC Not sure how much Armand's 32 knowledge Religion will allow him to say about the lich.
Armand replies to all, "Yes a lich can be pretty hard to kill permanently unless you know where its Phylactery or soul repository is kept. But we can still destroy this body and buy some time. It is probably going to have resistance to non-magical, non-bludgeoning weapons. So put away your sharp weapons. Also I'd avoid cold and lighting spells." He contemplates for a minute. "I'd say not everyone needs see invisible, maybe one person in the air. Otherwise maybe beef up the fighters, but don't blow all your spells doing that."
At his raised elevation he spots the three bandage wrapped humanoids. Knowledge Region 25 (d20+17)
"Ah Geez. Now it looks like he's got some mummies coming up. We don't want to deal with that disease hit so maybe a fireball would be nice over there." He points toward the mummies. The he says quietly to the party, "I sort of have a plan, I would like to keep my hammer. I plan on going toe to toe, with Righteous Mightsee spell on page 335 of book, and Holy Swordsee spell on page 297 of bookcast on the hammer, and use Ward against death. 30ft aura protects against death for (rounds=lv) immune to death effects, energy drain, negative level drain"
He then casts Shield of Faith on himself as he moves westward 30 feet (still 20 foot in air).

Vamir straightens up and reaches over to Atlas and cast death ward on him, followed by see invisible. "That should help you a little bit." The witch runs his hand over Melzat's head and smiles at him. Vamir casts see invisible on himself, and pulls his broom out,"Melzat follow us in, and for goodness sake be careful!"

He recognizes the bandaged humanoids as Mummy Lords, and realizes that they can cast spells as a cleric, as well as channel negative energy. He knows they are immune to cold and electricity, and have undead traits. He wishes to go toe to toe with Frank.
Owen casts mass bears endurance on the party, as he tells Armand he likes his idea, and plans on taking out any casters first.
Elyngael and Brawn move a smidge and two bandage wrapped humanoids carrying spears turn the corner, heading towards the party.
Vamir gives Atlas some protection, gets his broom ready, then warns Melzat to be careful
Rattlebones believes that since Liches arent common creatures, he feels some divination spells may reveal somethings about Frank, as such he begins to head back to the Tree You should be able to get Tree in 2 rounds
Osul chuckles with Owen, then sends Typhoon over to the Big Top, while he heads over to the mummies, and begins to cast a spell.

He can make 2 (one for each spell) DC 17 will saves for half damage and will have to make 2 concentration checks to keep his spell. After the two Mummy Lords cast their spells, all three scatter.

TUESDAY POST
Rattlebones has little that can directly affect the undead -- being an illusion and divination specialist -- and settles on helping to control the battlefield. With a twiddle of his fingers and a few arcane mutters, he summons a wall of stone to keep the orange mummy at bay (6 inches thick and 15 feet wide).
He then floats 15 feet south, maintaining invisibility, to throw off the mummy's ability target him.

Atlas growls when he hear's what Armand says, "You're always trying to keep me out of the fun. Fine then, I'll just do this..." As he trails off Atlas yells "Fly" and begins to fly across the ground at the Mummy near him. He performs an act known as a Spring Attack, artfully slicing at the creature while avoiding an attack of opportunity. As he hits the creature he shoots up and drifts back a little towards the group.

Armand doubles down on his request for a fireball, and warns against melee. He casts destruction on the orange mummy lord, who seems to shrug off some of the attack (rolled 25 for save)
Vamir tells Atlas that he is just fulfilling his request to keep him from meeting Gargul, then flies off.
Finnan fires an arrow at the green mummy lord hitting him square in the chest though the mummy is able to shake off some of the pain (DR/--)
Neshi delivers Armands fireball and all three are too slow to get out of the way and take the full blast of the spell, and then releases an elemental blast all but the red save for half
Elyngael fires off a barrage on the green mummy lord but notices even her adamantine arrows arent cutting through the DR, (they have DR everything) also she realized the shock seems to have no effect.
Owen goes invisible and then casts displacement on Atlas
Osul summons a couple of ettins and then joins Typhoon. you are in control of the ettins so you can move them next round
Typhoon and Osul begin lifting on the Big Top, and at first the stakes hold, but with a second mighty tug, the tent comes free, stakes, ropes canvas and all. However what they release from inside the tent, they may wish, they left alone for in the tent Frank is hiding along with the mighty Ogre Fuand, however something is very different about the friendly ogre. His skin is very pale, and he has what appears to be a fresh slash across his throat. Besides Frank and Fuand, there is also a colossal sized horde of zombies, and another mummy lord. Frank casts a spell, and a bolt of lightning shoots out of his hand hitting Typhoon, then turns and hits 'Osul. (chain Lightning)Typhoon and 'Osul take 37 electrical damage. Typhoon DC 32 reflex for half, 'Osul DC 31 reflex for half.
Meanwhile the original Mummy Lords each attempt to heal themselves and inflict pain to any within 30ft of them via channeling negative energy. The Orange heals himself and the Green for 18, the Green heals himself, the Orange and the Red for 21, and the Red heals himself and the Green for 17.

Moving forward, Neshi turns and casts another spell this time centered on AC 18.

Owen quickly casts Haste on the party, then uses his newfound speed to fly up and closer to the Big Top. Remaining invisible, he uses a burst of heroic effort to cast Feeblemind on the lich. It must make a DC 22 Will save to resist, at a -4 penalty if can cast arcane spells.

Armand being elevated can see what 'Osul and company have revealed. He decides to inform the ground troops. "Hey guys, there's a huge zombie horde where the main circus tent used to be. Also looks like the lich has some other heavy handed bad guys helping him still. 'Osul is going to need some help up there."
Armand will cast his remaining Holy Smite at the zombie horde and the zombie master up there. Holy Smite will save DC20, Damage 20 and blinded 1 round (sv = half damage and not blinded).
Armand then calls on his heroic reserve (spending only hero point) and casts Searing Light at the Orange Mummy Lord. Searing light, no save, range touch 30 (d20+10) Crit, Confirm 12 (d20+10) not confirmed. Damage 28 (10d6)
He then clicks his heels together activating his boots of speed and heads west. "I'm going on, I hope you can at least keep these mummy lords busy."

[i]Typhon's Reflex Save 23 vs 32 fails (HP: 149, Damage: 37) and Osul's Reflex Save 25 vs 31 for 37 more damage. The Ettins Will Saves are (Pi-Rou: 15, 5, and 22!) for 45 damage and (Bay-Yon: 7, 23!, and 25!) 36 damage respectively. Each started with 85 HP. The Pi-Rou Ettin takes a 5' step towards the Orange Mummy Lord and swings with its flails, (AC24 for 16 damage, AC22 miss, AC 23 miss, and AC20 miss), while Bay-Yon Ettin takes a 5' step towards the Red Mummy Lord and swings with its flails, (AC30 for 14 damage, AC20 miss, AC 31 for 14 damage, and AC24 for 11 damage)
To Typhon he says (in Auran), while pointing at the horde, "How many of those do you think you can get in the air at once? It will be time to go home when you're done.". Typhon goes Whirlwind on the horde, before returning to his native plane.
'Osul looks for cover, because hundreds of square feet of tent won't do. He drapes it over himself, dragging it behind him as he drifts 80' down map, lands, and assesses his situation.

Neshi casts black tentacles, successfully grappling both the red and green Mummy Lords, and lets Armand know he is thinking up something for the zombie hord.
Owen casts haste on the party then while invisible flies over and casts feeble mind on Frank, however, Armand must have forgot to tell him that undead are immune to mind effects.
Finnan lets fly with his bow hitting the green mummy lord 4 times.
Armand casts holy smite on the zombie horde, and the mummy lord leading them. They both failed, and are now blinded, though the blindness really has no effect on the horde (A horde is basically a Swarm made up of small sized or larger creatures) He then casts searing light on the orange mummy lord.
Elyngael lets fly again, but only hits once.
Vamir quickly summons his spectral hand then uses it to make Atlass sword an undead slaying machine. (BTW the spell should last 13 rounds)
Osul has his ettins attack the orange and red mummy lords, the ettins are able to hit them, but the damage seems greatly reduced. He asks Typhoon to whirlwind the zombie horde, and even though the Horde seems to have taken some damage from the attack it didnt have much effect on the overall mass of the horde. He then dismisses Typhoon and withdraws.
The Zombie Horde begins moving towards the Wardens like a massive juggernaut, destroying everything in its path. It rips through tents like they arent even there, leaving nothing but shredded canvas and broken poles in their wake. Though blinded, the light blue mummy horde has no problem following the horde as it wrecks its destruction.
Undead Fuand, with a command from his new master, uses his crazy land speed (70 ft) to move closer to the fray, carrying his master. While Frank casts enlarge person on Fuand.
The Three original mummy lords activate their great despair aura (a free action) anyone with 30ft mys make a DC 19 will save or be paralized with fear for 3 rounds. This includes both ettins, and Neshi. The green looks up at Atlas and a blast of fire and sand come flying out of its mouth in a 40 ft cone hitting him for 16 fire and slashing damage, DC 19 reflex for half. The red mummy lord does the same towards Neshi blasting him with 29 fire and slashing damage, DC 19 reflex for half, and the orange aims his breath weapon at the two ettins for 20 fire and slashing damage, DC 19 reflex for half.

Shrugging off the wave of fear that brushes his mind, Neshi moves quickly and then cast a spell. causing the area below the horde and Faund, frank and the blue mummy turn to deep thick mud.
[b}Transmute Rock to Mud: No save: 26 10 foot cubes of rock. [/b}
A creature unable to levitate, fly, or otherwise free itself from the mud sinks until hip- or chest-deep, reducing its speed to 5 feet and causing a 2 penalty on attack rolls and AC.

Atlas sweeps down and attacks again, but this time he target's the other mummy as he moves towards the zombie horde. He hover's above the tent looking about to see what would be his best move next.

Vamir watches is horror as Atlas is overcome by the mummy's aura. Vamir casts flesh to stone on the creature (Fortitude save DC: 21 SR: 25). Vamir then flies 30 feet up, and shouts above the noise "Atlas is frozen! He might need a little help!"
OOC: I forgot my elven bonus to overcome SR. That is the additional +2

Think of it like a weapon that does two types of damage at the same time, like the morning star, which does both bludgeoning and piercing simultaneously. If an opponent is immune to piercing damage when you hit it with a morning star, that has no effect on the bludgeoning damage, and the creature still takes full damage from the weapon.
Neshi tries turning rocks to mud, but you are on grassy ground. Though the grass is quite trampled from all the people. (Remember you are in the grassy areas around the Tree)
Osul casts sleet storm on the newcomers. Somehow the horde made the acrobatics check and can move at œ speed (rolled 18) However the mummy lord and Fuand did not. Frank made the check, but he is hovering about a foot off the ground, so he is unaffected anyways. He then casts Ice storm on Fuand, Frank, and the horde. Frank and Fuand seem to take the appropriate damage, but the horde seems undamaged. (DR Slashing and immunity to cold) the difficult terrain affects everyone but Frank due to his flight.
Atlas tries a hit and run attack against, but is overcome by its fear aura, and is paralized with fear. Luckily he is flying via magic and not wings, or he would have plummeted to the ground.
Rattlebone adds to Osuls sleet storm, this time the horde failed.
Armand gives some much need healing to Osul
Finnan keeps firing at the green mummy lord, as he hasnt anything else to do. He hits it all three times. (sorry about not transferring the monster stats, they were in my write up in docs, but somehow I failed to transfer them along with everything else. As far as the Bear riding, unless Finnan gains a lot from riding I wouldnt worry about it. If he does gain something, we can ret-con it that he is riding Shepa)
Elyngael also keeps firing at the green mummy. She hits three times, but only one of the arrows seems to have any effect.
Owen gives himself some stone skin and tries to come up with a plan.
Vamir tries turning the orange mummy lord to stone, but the creature is able to shrug it off (rolled 25). He lets everyone know that Atlas may be in trouble.
With a sigh of exasperation, Frank grabs Fuands arm and casts a spell. The two powerful undead disappear, only to reappear a moment later by Brawn and Elyngael. The mighty undead ogre takes a swing at Elyngael with his ogre hook Hitting AC 38 for 28 slashing damage, and she must make a DC 19 fortitude save or be paralized for 3 rounds
The Horde and its mummy lord are unable to move this round due to the sleet storm spells.
The red, orange and green mummy lords channel negative energy to heal each other, and harm Atlas, and the two ettins. The orange heals himself and the green, while hitting Atlas and both ettins for 18 damage (DC 21 will for half). The green heals himself, the orange and the red, while hitting Atlas and both ettins with 20 damage (DC 21 will for half), The red heals himself and the green, while hitting both ettins with 20 damage (DC 21 will for half). Luckily Atlas is currently immune to negative energy, which causes a howl of frustration from the orange mummy lord, as he is the only one who witnessed it.

Neshi drops a fireball on the zombie horde and its Mummy lord, and both take the full force of the fiery blast.
Finnan and Sheapa step up to Fuand, with Finnan unleashing the full force of his greatsword on the undead ogre.
Armand has some choice words to say as Frank dimensional doors with Fuand. He starts getting himself ready to face off against the Lich.
Elyngael turns her attention to Fuand and releases a volley of arrows, hitting three out of 4 times. She feels a sense of satisfaction when she sees her arrows sink into the undead ogres body.
Osul thanks Armand for the healing, then starts casting another spell
Atlas is still paralized with fear, but he realizes that Vamirs Death Ward spell just saved his bacon.
Rattlebones reminds himself that he cant be good at everything, like some mysterious thing known as a 3.5 druid, as he begins casting a summon spell.

An invisible Owen, drops a fireball on Frank and Fuand. Both take the full force of the fiery blast.
The Orange mummy lord heads south then channels energy to help his master. He heals himself, Fuand, and Frank 17 HP. Since Vamir and Owen never gave me their altitude, I gave them each a 50% chance that they were too high to be in the 30ft radius, and they both were missed.Also they would be out of range for his fear aura.
The green Mummy Lord tries to break free of the black tentacles, and howls in rage when he fails.
The red mummy lord also tries to break free, but is equally frustrated.
The zombie horde, and its mummy lord both make their acrobatics checks and are able to move at half speed. They head east trying to get out of the sleet storms.
Frank, not wanting his new toy destroyed, casts Harm on Fuand restoring 120 hp
Fuand howls in fury, after receiving Finnan and Elyngaels attacks. He takes a deep breath and then breathes out a 60ft cone that smells like pure death. Finnan, Sheapa, Elyngael, Brawn, and this time the dice included Vamir, must make a DC 18 fort save, or be nauseated for 7 rounds, and be sickened for 6 rounds after that.A neutralize poison will remove the nauseated condition, but not the sickened condition.
Nauseated Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move action per turn.

Vamir gags as the stench nearly overcomes him but manages to keep it together, (Fort DC 18). Vamir struggles with the fact that the mummy continues to resist his spells and casts calcific touch on the mummy with his spectral hand (Touch AC 27, Touch Ac 29) and does 3 dex damage, and 2 dex damage. In addition, the mummy must make a DC 20 fortitude save DC 20 twice or be slowed. Vamir flies 30 foot up on his broom.

Neshi casts black tentacles on the zombie horde and blue Mummy Lord, stopping them in their tracks.
eOsul finishes summoning a little friend who immediately goes to work hitting Frank
Armand casts Blade Barrier around the zombie horde and the bleu Mummy Lord
Finnan and Sheapa both overcome Fuandfs breath weapon and then go back on the offense. Both Hero and companion take a massive chunk out of the undead ogrefs HP, but Sheapa fails to trip him. (CMD 44)
Elyngael does what she does best and continues to make Fuand into a pincushion. (The sickened condition would have followed the nauseated condition if you failed the save, since you passed, you donft have the sickened condition)
Owen tosses another Fireball at Fuand and Frank. Frank is able to avoid half the blast but Fuand takes the whole blast and falls to the ground still smoldering.
Atlas breaks free of the fear aura and takes a moment to pull himself together.
Vamir casts calcific touch on the orange mummy lord and drops his dex by 5, however the unusually healthy creature is able to shrug off the after effect.
Franks Screams in rage as his new pet drops to the ground. He flies 30 ft into the air and drops a fireball of his own on Finnan, Sheapa, Brawn, ELyngael, and Vamir, causing it to detonate in the air to hit the elf on the broom. Each takes 36 fire damage (DC 21 reflex for half).
The orange Mummy Lord moves forward, and attacks Finnan with his spear, but fails to connect. Due to his fear aura, Finnan, Sheapa, Brawn, and Elyngael must make a DC 19 will save, or be paralized by fear for 4 rounds.
The green and red mummy lords try to break free again, but again fail.
The blue mummy lord and zombie horde bothe try to break free. The mummy fails, but the juggernaut that is the zombie horde easily breaks free (rolled 39) The horde is able to continue moving at half speed through the Sleet Storms, and taking half damage from Armandfs Blade Barrier (rolled 26) (I created a new marker for the zombie horde, as the area of the original was so convoluted, it was just easier. There is only one horde.)

'Osul casts Greater Magic Fang on Tiny, and takes to the air for a better vantage point. Then Tiny flails his tail at Frank again, with Power Attack, hitting AC 35 for 62 damage, before widening the aisle, headed up the map (a single move at half speed, assuming the tents are even less likely to hold up to the mass of Tiny, than they were to the Horde, who I'm guessing don't have Trample.)

Atlas watches the fireball explode amongst his friends and yells in anger. Having broken free from his fear, he flies directly at Frank and lashes at him with his sword. With a roar of delight his blade bites into the lich. Atlas looks him in the eyes and says in a growl, "Time to stop running from me you coward."

Armand is still not fully prepped spell wise. "This is all going quite quickly he says." Never-the-less he knows he needs to get in closer to Frank if only to provide some protection for his friends. He enacts Ward against death (8th) 30ft aura protects against death for (rounds=lv) immune to death effects, energy drain, negative level drain. as he moves in with hasted air walk and rises to Frank's level.

Vamir winces as the fireball goes off near him, thankful he managed to dart out of the way. Seeing Atlas fly towards Frank Vamir does the same moving to W33. Vamir sends his spectral hand speeding to Frank with the still charged calcific touch. (Touch AC 27, SR 34 dexterity damage 3 Touch AC 23 SR 36 Dexterity damage 3)

Elyngael's Reflex save: (d20+14=32) save and have evasion no damage from fireball. Brawn's Reflex save: (d20+13=28) save and have evasion so no damage from fireball.
Elyngael's Will save: (d20+10=16) spending 1 hero point for +4 after die roll, saved. Brawn's Reflex save: (d20+6=8) so he is feared and runs away?
Elyngael remembers that Armand said something about the lich needing to be hit with bludgeoning weapons. And she has not been doing much of anything to those Zombie Lords. So she instead turns her arrows to the Zombie horde now due north of her. Using rapid shot and many shot, rapid shot is -2 to all shots, but unless I'm reading things wrong there's no downside to many shot other than using ammo of which Elyngael has plenty.

eOsul makes tiny even less tiny. Tiny takes a swipe at Frank before heading north. I will allow Tiny to crush the tents as he goes with little to no hindrance, they are just canvas after all
Rattlebones summons some small air elementals.
Atlas breaks free from The mummy Lords fear aura, and then flies over and takes a swing at Frank.
Finnan lashes out at the orange mummy lord dropping it like a bad habit.
Armand casts ward against death then heads up to meet Frank.
Vamir drops Franks dexterity a bit via calcific touch
Elyngael brushes off the fear aura, though Brawn is paralized with fear, and canft move. Elyngael turns her attention to the zombie horde releasing an intense barrage of arrows. The arrows themselves donft seem to have any effect, but the shock does itfs job. (piercing weapons only do half damage vs the horde, and it has DR 10/slashing)
******************************************************************************************************** As Finnan strikes down the orange mummy lord, something unexpected happens. It vanishes. A DC 21 spellcraft will explain why. Highlight to display spoiler: {It is obvious that a contingency spell was cast on the Mummy Lord, but the reason eludes you.}
The red mummy lord manages to break free of Neshifs black tentacles and makes a double move action.
The green mummy lord howles in increased anger, as he yet again fails to escape.
The blue mummy lord is also frustrated by his inability to break free.
The mindless mass that is the zombie horde following itfs collective scent of living flesh, runs headlong into Neshifs black tentacles, and is stopped in itfs tracks.
Frank concentrates deeply on casting a spell (casting defensively) and succeeds in casting harm on himself healing 120 hp, then defensibly casts a quickened darkness spell, enshrouding the area in darkness. you can move the darkness area out of the way to get to your markers, just move it back when you're done.

Still hasted and seeing the darkness fill the area, Neshi stays where he is and activates his tattoo, all but healing his minor injuries and then casts Light into the area of darkness attempting to dispell the dark effects.
Light, SR 25: Light can be used to counter or dispel any darkness spell of equal or lower spell level.
Atlas roars in laughter, "Darkness? Ha, my friends were prepared for that." He lays into Frank with all he has, missing more than hitting, but he feels the final effects of that fear fading as he goes through the motions.

Owen sees the magical darkness spread. He has a solution for it, he hopes. Looking through it with the help of True Seeing, he spies out Frank's location. Maintaining his invisibility, Owen casts Greater Dispel Magic in a 20-foot radius that includes both Frank and the centerpoint of the magical Darkness. Owen uses a hero point to bump his dispel check up to 29 after the roll.

Osul calls lightning from the sky hitting Frank with its full force, while tiny smacks him around a bit.
Neshi gives himself some healing, and then casts light to dispel the darkness.
Atlas goes for a full round attack against Frank
Armand also goes into full round attack mode against Frank
Elyngael continues to fire into the zombie horde, and even though the arrows themselves still dont do any damage, the shock hits them full force. (Since they only take half damage from piercing weapons, none of them overcame the DR 10/slashing)
Vamir tries calcific touch against Frank again
Owen cast greater dispel magic on the darkness, and removes it easily.
With the barrage on Frank, the powerful lich falls to his knees saying, We will surely meet again, then breaks out in a maniacal laughter as his body begins to crumble into dust, only to be blown away by the breeze.
The green Mummy Lord yet again fails to break free, so decides to offer himself and the Horde some healing, by channeling energy.
The zombie horde easily breaks free of the black tentacles and continues south.
The red mummy lord moves into position and attacks Finnan with his spear, but even though he is paralized, his armor is still able to deflect the blow. Also Ratlleboness 3 air elementals need to make a DC 19 fort save or be paralaized with fear for 2 rounds

Rattlebones (Tanner) -- HP 104 | AC 17/16/-- | CMD 13 | F+14/R+10/W+21 Thursday March 26th, 2020 1:17:48 PM
The small air elementals descend to Red Mummy and touch the ground in their whirlwind forms. While the mummy is not damaged, it is caught within the swirling cloud of dust and debris.
If the whirlwinds base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the creature and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwinds height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud of debris must succeed on a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.
Rattlebones races toward the spot where Frank died and scoops up his ashes into a belt pouch.
DM Edit: the small elementals each need to make a DC 19 will save or be paralyzed with fear for 2 rounds. Also, Franks dusty remains have scattered in the breeze.

Neshi moves into a new position, and fires off a scorching ray spell at the green mummy lord, hitting it with three fiery blasts.
Atlas flies over to engage the zombie horde, but he must have encountered some turbulence, because his swing was off.
Rattleboness air elementals succumb to the mummy lords fear aura, and are paralized for 2 rounds. I rolled for you, DC 19 rolled 18, 9, &6Meanwhile Rattlebones swoops down to try to find some lich dust. Though the majority of it has scattered across the countryside, he was able to find a pinch or so stuck in his robes.
Finnan is still overcome by fear. With the orange mummy lord gone, his fear aura should be gone as well, so Sheapa should be fine now.
Armand lets everyone know that they need to search all of Franks gear, then casts searing light on the blue mummy lord.
Elyngael drops her bow, and draws her sword, joining Atlas against the zombie horde. Though it isnt her normal mode of enemy disposal, she finds it rather satisfying when her blade slices into the horde. With the orange mummy lord gone, his fear aura should be gone as well, so Brawn should be fine
Vamir joins Rattlebones at Franks remains, claiming he doesnt have any effect against undead, but would like to check out the dust. He casts detect magic over Franks remains, the dust doesnt radiate an aura, but some of his gear does. He searches the area, but doesnt find anything of any particular interest beyond Franks gear To avoid confusion, Ill list Franks gear along with the rest of the loot at the end of the battle
Owen drops a freezing sphere on the zombie horde, which takes the full blast.
Osul drops some lightning on the zombie horde and the green mummy, the lightning effects the horde as predicted, but has no effect on the mummy lord (Immune to electricity) Since the air elementals didnt make their save against the red mummy lord's fear aura, the debris cloud never happened, so if Tiny pulls Finnan, away it would trigger an AoO, which I assume is something you dont want to happen
The ferocity of the onslaught against the zombie horde leaves it nothing but a pile of rotting bodies, the stench is lovely to behold, not
The red mummy lord releases his breath weapon, a 40ft cone of searing hot sand, against Finnan, Rattlebones, Vamir, and Tiny, causing 26 fire and slashing damage. DC 19 reflex for half
The light blue mummy lord makes a double move action. Due to his slight elevation, Armand is just barely outside of its fear aura.
Failing yet again to free himself from the black tentacles, the green mummy lord releases his breath weapon, catching Neshi, Atlas and Elyngael in its 40ft cone of searing hot sand. They each take 31 fire and slashing damage. DC 19 reflex for half.
Remember, unless you are able to mitigate both fire and slashing damage, you take full damage from the breath weapons, or half damage with a reflex save, or no damage with a reflex save and evasion.

Tiny {Reflex Save 27 vs 19} takes half damage from the Mummy Lord HP:213/243. Can he makes the save when paralysed by fear? Even when the above is adjusted to reflect a 0 Dex it is still a success. Round 2/4 or PbF.
The Cyclops' move in, and two attack: AC26 for 32 (no, not d10s, so) 22 damage and AC30 for 20 damage.

DM Jeremy Battle Map Wednesday April 1st, 2020 5:26:36 AM
Atlas praises everyone for a fight well fought.
Osuls cyclopsis moved in for the kill.while Osul comments that that may not be last they see of Frank.
Armand channels energy attacking the mummy lord. (Just an FYI, according to Cazyle, we house rule that channeling energy both heals and harms at the same time, as opposed to the book which says you must choose beforehand. Thats actually a house rule Ive always used around the table as well.)
Finnan looks for another target, but doesnt find one.
Neshi hopes thats it, as he is low on his best spells. He also heals himself.
Owen tries to dispel the contingency spell on the last mummy lord.
Elyngeal asks if there are any special arrows she can get to better fight undead.
Rattlebones tells everyone he is going to his room in hopes of finding Franks phylactery
Vamir offers healing to his comrades, and offers a scrying spell to Rattlebones.
As Osuls cyclops, and Armands Channel bear down on the final mummy lord, unlike its fellow mummy lords, this one's body doesnt teleport away. One may assume that Owens dispel did its job. Please make a DC20 knowledge religion check. Highlight to display spoiler: { the mummy lord will return to life in 2-11 days if the following spells arent cast, on its remains, consecutively in this order: consecrate, hallow, and then dispel evil.}
As you search the battlefield, you find that even though the mummy lords were teleported away, they left behind their spears. Here is a total list of found loot: 4 +1 spears (mummy lords), large +1 chain shirt, large +1 glaive, +1 ring of protection (Fuand) +3 bracers of armor, +4 headband of mental superiority tuned to linguistics and bluff, a pouch containing enough gems so that everyone gets 5000gp value (Frank)
Everyone gets 55,000 xp, and a hero point for a pretty epic fight. Im awarding Armand an extra hero point for coming up with the Big Top removal idea, and Osul a hero point for following through with the plan. Im also awarding one to Finnan for being a lean mean undead fighting machine, and Atlas and Elyngael for facing off against the zombie horde in melee. Trust me when I say this, if it hadnt died that round, Atlas and Elyngael could have been in a lot of trouble. Im accepting nominations for others, if anyone can help me remember a worthy exploit.

Atlas chuckles, "Sorry Armand, didn't see that one left over there. I do have to say that I'm impressed with your new battle swagger though. It would scare me if I was across the field from you."
Atlas looks through what was left behind and pulls it all into a pile for the group to consider once wounds are healed and the group is sure that there is no more trouble coming.
Thinking out loud to himself as he works, he says to no one in particular, "So, it seems like this was just the beginning. I get the feeling that we need to hunt down whoever the mastermind is behind it all."

Armand blinks. The mummy lord crumbles before him, yet the others vanished. He ponders. Knowledge Religion 23 (d20+17) "Okay we have a lot to do here. First things first who is in dire need of healing?" He waits for answers.
"Okay second this is not good, this mummy lord is going to regenerate in a few days unless the following spells are cast, on its remains, consecutively in this order: consecrate, hallow, and then dispel evil. All of which I can do given time. Unfortunately the hallow spell is going to be really expensive, like 1000gp of incense and another 1000gp per caster level." He lets that sink in, because he doesn't have enough ready cash for that outlay.
"And then I guess we need to find Frank's tent to see if there are any clues there, maybe a spell book for our mages to look through."

DM Jeremy Battle Map Thursday April 2nd, 2020 5:36:04 AM
Osul sends his one eyed friends to inspect the big top, as he dismisses Tiny. He seems almost giddy at the prospect of owning a circus tent.
Atlas praises Armand for his display of battle prowess, while gathering the loot into a pile. He suggests the need to hunt down the Ringleader of this assault. (Pun intended, Sorry couldnt help myself)
Neshi helps Atlas gather the loot, and then asks Atlas, Why Frank, a powerful lich, couldnt me the mastermind.
Armand asks if anyone is in need of healing. He then shares that the mummy lord is going to come back to life if he, or someone else doesnt cast the appropriate spells, though he is going to need some cash to obtain the components for one of the spells. He suggests looking for Franks tent to see if there is anything to find.
Owen reminds Armand that they just found a small cache of gems that should easily pay for the Hallow spell. He then goes off to see if his family is OK.
Elyngael offers both time and money to help out.
Vamir also offers to help out with the spell cost. He says he wishes to use Franks belongings in a scrying spell.
With the problem of the spell component cost dealt with, making the purchasing of the components shouldnt be a problem, A flash of insight comes to Armand.That's the reason for the contingency spells, and he realizes that you will probably be seeing the other three again. (I will say we can just assume the purchases will be made, no need to head to the catacombs). You search for Franks tent, and even though most of the tents are pretty similar in appearance, by searching only the ones marked staff only, you are able to track down one that seems a little better furnished than the rest, nothing of real value, but obviously a bit more comfortable.
You surmise that this must be his tent, and a thorough search adds validity to your assumption when you find a journal. In the journal you read that one, Francisco Van Studen, whom you realize is Frank, is looking to build an army of undead, and that he is looking forward to adding the Wardens, and what he refers to as the stupid ogre into his army, as well as an entry about maybe adding someone he refers to simply as, the Druid. You read that he thinks himself clever for using the carnival/circus as a cover to obtain his recruits. Beyond those tidbits of information, you really only read the ramblings of a megalomaniac.
Meanwhile, Owen rushes off in search of his family. He doesnt travel far before he finds them. Isabel has her hair tied up in a loose bun, so as to be out of her way, as she is helping as a makeshift nurse, bandaging the wounded after the zombie attack. Simon is running around as an errand boy, bringing fresh bandages, water, and whatever else is needed in the makeshift hospital.
OOC Please hold off on casting any divination spells for the time being. I will certainly allow them when the time's right, as they will be key in moving the next module forward. For now lets deal with the aftermath of an assault against the populace of the Tree, so we can conclude this module before heading into the next one.
I will be working on the new module this weekend, and Steven will be working on it, as his schedule allows, as well. Like so many others, our schedules have been insane as of late. Personally Ive been working overtime for the last two months, and things have gotten even crazier since Covid-19. The fact that you guys took what was planned as three different battles, and turned them into one giant battle royal, which caught us unaware, and moved our time line up at least a week, depending on how much role playing you guys did between battles, has set us back a bit, please be patient with us.

Armand will pitch in with the medicals. He still has 7 channels left. He will need 14,000 gp in incense to take care of the spell, which would be 1,555 gp each from the 5000 in gems each we found so, instead we get 3,445 gp in gems each.
Armand can't use any of the magic items listed.

Elyngael also cannot use the magic items, so she wanders over to Owen's wife and offers to give her a break. Elyngael starts tending to the wounded surprised at how many were hurt in the zombie attack. She is determined to make sure all the injured are helped back to their homes when they are able.

Atlas smiles as Armand hands out orders. "Always business with you isn't it. Once this is all settled I'm getting you drunk, or whatever your god will allow." He gives Armand a nudge as he walks by him to the Mummy lord's dusty remains. He looks up and yells, "Could someone get me Miles? We need to setup a guard here. And Vamir, Frank's tent is the likely location of that...what did they call it? Gem or something that holds his soul? Armand, what should Vamir be looking for?"
Then in a quieter voice Atlas responds to Neshi, "Just a hunch based on them disappearing and all. Makes no sense if Frank was their...master? Anyway, let's put that aside for a second and examine the real question in all this; why in the Wold would an ancient lich go by the name of Frank. Seriously, is this a joke? I'm going to puzzle that out while I watch this dust and wait on Miles."
DM Jeremy Battle Map Friday April 3rd, 2020 5:11:53 AM
After pitching in at the makeshift hospital, Armand does the math and shares the total amount needed for the spell. He isnt interested in any of the loot.
Elyngael isnt interested in any of the loot, but she pitches in at the hospital, offering to relieve Isable. She is shocked at how many are wounded after the zombie attack, but she wants to make sure everyone gets home.
Owen is both proud of his family, and happy to see that they are OK. He returns to the Wardens to see what is next.
Rattlebones continues to fly towards the Tree, formulating questions in his mind as he goes.
Atlas comments on Armands industrious ways, and suggests getting intoxicated after this is all over. He asks Miles to set a guard on the mummy lords remains, and suggests that maybe Franks Phylactery is in his tent. He is confused as to why a powerful lich would go by Frank.
Forgot to mention yesterday that Osuls cyclopsis didnt find anything out of the ordinary at the Big Top yesterday.
With Armand's healing magic, and Elyngael helping to bandage the wounded, the hospital quickly runs out of patients, which is a good thing after all. Miles stations guards at the mummy lords remains, with orders to contact the Wardens directly if the thing starts moving.
Vamir cant find anything that may resemble a phylactery, but since it is fairly common practice for a lich to hide his phylactery far away from his current location, as a safeguard, he isnt surprised. He shares his findings in Frank's journal and explains to Atlas that Frank's real name is Francisco Van Studen, and that Frank was probably the name he used when disguised as the stable boy.
As Ratlebones arrives at the Wardens headquarters, he sees a small crowd waiting, and they dont look happy. Being new to the Tree, he doesnt necessarily remember the names, but he does recognize them as the powers that be, here at the Tree. Invisible still, the crowd doesn't see him, but Rattlebones is pretty certain he doesn't want to deal with this new threat alone.

Once they give their report, 'Osul sets the cyclopes the task of folding up the main tent, rather than leave it draped down that row. He also pitches in on the tending of the wounded. It is a welcome distraction from the ... welcome home.

Well Atlas, If as his journal is to believed It seems it was his plan and not that of someone else. But I suppose that some one could have put the thought into his mind and was pulling strings. As to being called Frank. If your name was Francisco Van Studen, wouldn't you want to be called Frank?
I think we should do some basic research on this Francisco Van Studen, and see what we can find out about him. If his "soul gem thingy" isn't found in his tent perhaps he has an old family home or something where it is being held.

Armand nods at Neshi's words. "I wonder if I can contact the Sage's Guild in Plateau City to see if they have in record of a Francisco Van Studen."
"You know 'Osul, I'm not sure we can claim the circus tent. I mean after all there are some survivors of the circus still. They might need it to continue operations." He then looks around quickly. "Hey, shouldn't someone check on the animals? There were animals weren't there? Or was everything just zombies, I mean how many of those zombie could he turn so quickly? You'd think there would be some time involved in making that many zombies. Maybe we better question those circus folk some more."

"As for the time needed to turn so many zombies - I don't know.

Atlas shrugs as most of the treasure is passed on. "I'll round this up and take it back to our place. Then someone can take it to the Catacombs to sell at a more convenient time. Anyone need anything before I head back? Looks like you good folks have saved the day and saved most of the victims. A job well done for the Wardens, now let's make sure James is OK and he's not worried about us." Atlas scoops up what he can and heads home unless someone stops him for help with something.
As he goes he looks back at Neshi, "Actually, I like that name, it has a ring to it and implies something is to be expected of him. Frank is so bland. Anyway, count me in on the research, but I'm thinking Armand's plan to reach out to Plateau City might be the best approach."
DM Jeremy Battle Map Monday April 6th, 2020 5:33:59 AM
Osul also helps with the wounded, as he tasks his cyclopsis to fold up the Big Top.
Neshi points out to Atlas that the journal makes it pretty clear that Francisco was the one who is responsible, but does admit that someone else may be pulling his strings. He suggests doing some research. He also pitches in where ever needed.
Armand adds to Neshis suggestion by suggesting contacting the Sages Guild in Plateau City. He mentions to Osul that the real circus people may still need the tent for their livelihood. He is concerned about the animals, and wonders about how he made so many zombies. He suggests interrogating the circus folk.
Rattlebones flies to his room trying to avoid the PTB, luckily, he left a window to his room unlocked.
Osul, at Armands mention of the animals, mentions the slaughtered pony, and suggests that it should be cleaned up. He wonders if there is a way to get around the need for rest. (Ring of Sustenance) He offers to help repair the tents he was responsible for, directly or indirectly, but not the ones the Zombie horde trashed. He has no idea about the time required to make so many zombies, but assumed that the actual circus folk were zombified, and the folks remaining are the side show people.
Elyngael and Brawn go check on the animals, after finishing up at the makeshift hospital.
Owen does his best to remember the name Francisco Van Studen. He vaguely remembers hearing about a Mystic Theurge bearing that name. The Francisco he recalls would be roughly the same age as the human Wardens. He has no memory of him being a lich. Of course, that may be a recent thing, assuming they are one in the same person.
Vamir has no need for any of the loot, and pitches in, healing the innocent.
With the help of the Wardens, the makeshift hospital is closed down, due to lack of need, as all the wounded have been treated.
Elyngael and Brawn search and easily find the location of the circus animals. They are in the tents closest to the Big Top, the ones not destroyed by the zombie horde. They are all safe and sound in their enclosures. The lions start roaring, and the tigers snarl at them, most likely due to having their sleep disrupted, The elephants, however, dont seem concerned in the least as the elf and her wolf walk through their tent. As far as the pony ride, where the one pony was killed, the remaining ponies are just fine, in fact, there is a small corral with some extra ponies, that Elyngael assumes are to replace the ones that are working as they fatigue. In all there are 11 ponies, not including the dead one. 5 attached to the pony ride carousel, and 6 in the corral.
Suggestions for the morning are made, and clean up has begun. While examining the bodies from the zombie horde, you realize that these arent recently made zombies, as the rate of decay is pretty obvious. Actually the rate of decay varies from corpse to corpse. Some are maybe a few days old, while others are so old they hardly have any meat on their bones anymore, it has mostly rotted off. You estimate that the oldest corpses are just shy of a year old, and the newest would have been killed before the circus arrived. The random Zombies from the first attack, the one that attacked the populous of the Tree, as well as the circus people, and visitors who were there for the circus, are much fresher, less than a day old based on the decay. Miles suggests creating a ginormous funeral pyre for the long dead corpses, and allowing the fresh ones to be claimed by loved ones. He is trying to be both practical, as well as respectful, as these poor individuals were obviously murdered.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Monday April 6th, 2020 5:57:34 PM
Armand will spend whatever time is needed throwing zombie bodies into the area where the horde was destroyed. "No need to make a new place for the pyre. This will do.". As he is doing so he will add in some flammable layers, hay, wood, what have you. He will not put bodies in that look fresh but rather set them off to the side. The minor group that came out with that metal monstrosity being the most likely of that sort.
As he probably found the hay with the circus animals..."Hey what are we going to do with these animals? Is there enough circus still intact people wise to have them kept or do we need to set them free...and if we free them it probably should not be near the Tree. Someone should ask the circus people. I'm afraid I'm going to be busy for most of the night."
As he separates out the fresh bodies he will conduct Gargul's ceremony of sending and pray for their souls to be be sent onward. For the zombie horde he will do one large prayer, though in reality each time he has to move a corpse he prays to Gargul.
Having a ring of sustenance he will only rest for 2 hours during the night. I think that means I don't get spells back since I think I have to rest 8 hours to gain them. He will wait till morning to light pyre as it will probably be large and no need to draw attention to it during the night.
PS everyone remember to fix your headers as we're out of combat and most spells probably expired, and we should be fully healed with Armand doing all that channeling in the infirmary.

As Vamir finishes up healing the innocent with the other Wardens a yawn sneaks out, "What a night, I am beat!" Vamir checks in with each of his party to make sure everything is done. "I don't know anything about this Sage's Guild but if they can help out I am game to see if they will help." Vamir checks on the tree to make sure she is well and wanders to his chambers to sleep.

"I think that we should check with our friends here at the Tree and see if any of them have use for trained ponies" Elyngael suggests. "These ponies won't do well on their own anymore. We can't just turn them lose," she stifles a yawn. "Let's get some rest and figure it out tomorrow. The lions and tigers are well fed, so they won't be going after anyone. Good night!"

DM Jeremy Battle Map Tuesday April 7th, 2020 5:28:34 AM OOCc The Ring of Sustenance shrinks the need for rest for casters to two hours, but you can still only prepare spells once per day.
This ring continually provides its wearer with life-sustaining nourishment. The ring also refreshes the body and mind; its wearer needs only sleep 2 hours per day to gain the benefit of 8 hours of sleep. This allows a spellcaster that requires rest to prepare spells to do so after only 2 hours, but this does not allow a spellcaster to prepare spells more than once per day. The ring must be worn for a full week before it begins to work. If it is removed, the owner must wear it for another week to reattune it to himself.
Armand, Cleric of Gargul, goes into priest mode, as he does his best to give these poor souls a proper send off. He starts building the funeral pyre for those poor souls that are unrecognizable, being sure to set the recently departed aside so they may be claimed by loved ones. He wonders as to what to do about the circus animals, and whether or not there are enough circus people still alive to properly care for them.
Neshi helps with the pyre, and itfs lighting, then heads to the compound.
eOsul catches up with Elyngael and Brawn. He begins speaking sweetly to the big cats, as well as the rest of the animals, and they all calm down. The lions stop roaring, and the tigers stop snarling, ECTc He gives the critters a quick look over and can tell that they are well cared for, and free if any injuries. He tries to come up with logical places to take the animals if the need arises, but for some reason the Druid can remember what sort of climate the various animals thrive in.
Owen wonders how Francisco was able to sneak all these Zombies in, as some are pretty old.
Vamir is exhausted, after everything that has happened , and all the effort required. He makes it clear that though he is unfamiliar with the Sagefs Guild, he is willing to do whatever he can to help. He checks in on the Tree, and the Tree reassures him that he is fine, though he grieves for the lost. He then joins Neshi, and heads for home to get some much needed rest.
Elyngael and Brawn go for a late night hunt, and bring back a brace of decent sized wild pigs. She cuts the meat into portions, and feeds the carnivorous animals. They thank her by devouring the meat. She can tell that the animals have been well fed, but what large cat will turn down fresh meat? She isnft sure what to do about the ponies, as they canft just be turned loose into the wild, so she will look into it in the morning. She also joins Vamir and Neshi on the trip home, as she too is exhausted.
Atlas jumps in and helps with the pyre, telling Armand he will do the heavy lifting, and that Armand should do the priest thing.
With a great effort from the Wardens, as well as Miles and the city guard, and several volunteers, the pyre is built, and lit. Neshi uses his fire magic, and instantly, the pyre is ablaze. The flames burn into the night consuming the bodies of the poor souls killed by Francisco. There is a sense of justice, as the departed are finally given a proper send off, and in spite of the tragedies of the evening, The Wardens, as well as those who assisted, are able to lift their head a little higher knowing they did right by these poor souls.
Exhausted by both fatigue and sorrow, the Wardens head back to their compound. As they are approaching, they witness a small group of people waiting at the front gate. As they travel closer, the Wardens begin to recognize members of the small, for lack of a better word, mob. You see Ciyradyl, Folbre, and the rest of the Treefs more influential people. As the Wardens approach Clyradyl steps forward. She is beside herself and you can tell that she has been crying, and in fact still is. hI...IcI Never thought this could happenh, She begins, as she drops to her knees, hI just thought that the circus would be a fun way to celebrate, Ifm so sorry!h Folbre steps forward, puts a hand on Clyradylfs shoulder and says, hYou are not to blame, my friendh He then looks at the Wardens. His face is the face of rage itself. To say that he is livid would be the understatement of the century. hYou are to blame!h, He says, as he points a finger at the Wardens. hMaybe not directly, but if you spent less time gallivanting around, playing the hero this wouldnft have happened!h You notice that he is holding Franciscofs journal, and even though you know he canft see, someone must have read the portion about Francisco wanting to grecruith the famous Tree Wardens into his army. How the journal got into his possession is a mystery.

I Atlas and a few others still present formed up because the welfare of the Tree was in danger. I'm sure the others have similar thoughts to discuss."

Vamir is just drifting off to sleep when he hears the commotion outside. The witch draws out his broom, and flies outside, and towards the noise.

Owen looks on gravely as Folbre accuses the Wardens. He follows Armand's lead and speaks in turn: "Folbre, we don't play at being heroes. You know us; we're everyday folks. Atlas is just a swordsman, like any of Miles' guards. I'm a family man, and Elyngael is fresh out of the woods. We just try to do our part, and as it happens we work well as a team. We try to protect the Tree as best we can. I see you've gotten everyone together. If you want us to stay closer to home, well, we can. But I think there will be evil about no matter what we do."
DM Jeremy Battle Map Wednesday April 8th, 2020 5:23:11 AM
Armand expects that there may be foul magic a foot , so he casts break enchantment. The spell doesnft seem to do anything, but eOsul is pretty certain that Folbre is speaking out in exhaustion, anger and sorrow, and isnft thinking straight as a result. After all itfs not every day that such a calamity strikes the Tree.
Elyngael rushes to comfort Clyradyl, who claims to be the one who hired the Circus. The elf's words do seem to lift her spirits a bit, but it is clear that the healing is going to take some time, as the events of this day are not going to be forgotten soon.
Armand tries to use diplomacy, and a mix of reverse psychology and common sense to hopefully defuse the situation, or at least keep it from escalating, while Owen and Elyngael use logic to defend themselves from Folbrefs verbal assault. Vamir bites his tongue, as he hears his friends are attacked, and stands by their side to show solidarity.
Folbre acts as if he is about to say something, but stops, takes a deep breath, and then simply hands Armand a slip of paper, and then after stopping to lend Clyradyl a hand up, he and the rest of the Treefs leaders turn and walk away.
The piece of paper is a dispatch report from Miles it says:
As of right now, the number of dead or unaccounted for is fifty five: Eighteen -- residents of the Tree Twenty -- visitors Seventeen -- circus personal
Miles, Captain of the Guard, Tree of Parting
PS, One of my men found this book, I believe the Wardens accidentally dropped it, if you get a chance, could you return it to them.

Armand reads the note and nods his head. He uses another round of Touch of Glory. Diplomacy 40 (d20+30).
"Thank you Folre, I know all those listed here. I assure you that they have been given last rites and their souls are with Gargul now. We did not place them in the pyre you no doubt see burning. Their mortal remains await claiming by family members. It is going to be a sad day for the Tree today as we see to the (burial or cremation-not sure which was is standard) of many of our residents and friends. As the leader of the Tree the Wardens bow to your direction in how you and the families want to conduct the funerals. Should any need counseling on the departed, I am available."
Back at the their rooms and unaware of the confrontation occurring outside, Neshi sits down trying to wrap his head around what just happened and how.
He turns his mind to thinking about Frank, aka Francisco Van Studen, and tries to remember if there was anything in his knowledge of history about him, but draws a blank. Knowledge DC 8,.
Changing his train of thought he then starts shifting through his knowledge of Nobility and isn't really sure if he is doing much better. knowledge Nobility DC 15.

"We can wait until mourning is over, but I would recommend we look as soon as possible."

As the situation allows, Atlas navigates the crowd of Tree leadership as the group speaks to them, putting a hand on a shoulder here, saying a kind word in an ear there. He stays quiet, letting the rest of the Wardens speak for the group, but he knows these people's pain and he wants to comfort them in any way he can. After all, this is his home too.

DM Jeremy Battle Map Thursday April 9th, 2020 5:47:03 AM
As he and the rest of the leadership group walk away, Armand offers his and the rest of the Wardens aid in whatever is to be done next, making sure to show the proper respect to Folbre, while Atlas does his best to go from person to person, in an act of concern and support, and eOsul does his best to be supportive. The loss of innocent life seems to be taking its toll on everyone, especially Folbre, but Armandfs diplomatic approach seems to have paid off a bit, as the elfs shoulders slouch down a bit, as he gives into his sorrow. He turns around, and with tears rolling down his cheeks, he says, hGet some sleep, wefll talk in the morningh
Elyngael suggests searching for any possible stragglers, in hopes of lowering the current dead or unaccounted for numbers, though she adds that it can wait till the morning. Overhearing, Folbre says in a voice that is peer sadness, hGet some sleep, Miles and his men, wonft rest until we have everyone accounted forh.
When the leaders finally depart, Vamir asks, hWhat was that all about?h, as the actions of Folbre and company seem a little odd to the newcomer.
Neshi is inside the compound, and completely oblivious to the goings on outside, racking his brain trying to remember if he has ever heard of Francisco Van Studen. He vaguely remembers hearing about a member of royalty, whose name he canft remember, or maybe didnft catch, that kicked a Mystic Theurge, with that name, out of his court. If memory serves Neshi correctly, He heard that this Francisco guy seemed to have a complete lack of regard for humanity, and was expelled for practicing necromancy. If the stories are true, then the guy would be roughly the same age as the humans members of the Wardens.
Eventually everyone turns in for the night. Due to the multitude of emotions, sleep would be hard to come by, if it wasnft for exhaustion brought on by the day's activities. Due to his Ring of Sustenance, Owen only needs two hours, and so he spends the rest of the night adding new spells to his repertoire.
In the morning, there is a knock on the door, James answers the door and ushers in Folbre. The elf sits down at the table, and with a very heavy heart says,
hI apologize for my actions last night. I allowed my emotions to cloud my better judgement, and released my anger and sadness on you guys, which is unforgivable, and undeserved. Time and again you Wardens of the Tree have come to our aid, and sacrificed much for the well being of the Tree and his residence, for which I am thankful.
Miles reports that everyone is accounted for and that in total we lost thirty five souls last night. Ten were residents of the Tree, and the rest were either visitors or circus personnel. While tragic beyond words, things could have been much worse if not for you guys, and the quick response of Miles and his men.
So what is to be done next? I assume you havenft found the lichfs phylactery, as they donft tend to keep them on their person, or so Ifve been told. I donft want that monster ever harming our people again, but unless something is done, I fear we will face his retaliation.
After sharing what he had to say, Folbre lays Franciscfs journal on the table, saying, hMiles asked me to make sure you got this back, as one of his men found it after you dropped it. In my state last night, I completely forgot to return it. I donft think it will be much help. I had it read to me three times last night, and all I got was he and his druid friend hatched this plan, and that he was excited to add the famous Tree Wardens to his undead army. Unless you guys encountered a druid last night, I assume that whoever this druid is, hi=e is probable guarding Franciscofs phylacteryh.

Waking the next morning Neshi sits with the others and listens to Folbre. When he is finished speaking, Neshi shares the information that he partially recalled.
So, I was thinking about Frank yesterday evening and , I vaguely remember hearing about a member of royalty, I can't remember the name, or maybe I didn't catch it, that kicked a Mystic Theurge, of that name, out of his court. If my memory serves me correctly, this Francisco guy seemed to have a complete lack of regard for humanity, and was expelled for practicing necromancy. If I am remembering correctly, then the guy would be roughly the same age as our human members."
So perhaps we have a more specific point to look at for more information.

At the meeting (long since back in human shape) there is a brief look of confusion on 'Osul's face, quickly surplanted by relief. "That wasn't how I'd heard it read. I was assuming that Frank had learned about The Tree Wardens during my sabatical, and was only including me as an after-thought. On reflection, I feel your interpretation is likely closer to the mark, Folbre. Was there any indication of who the druid might be, or from whence they originate?"

After resting his minimum needed 2 hours, (ring of sustenance), Armand spends the rest of the night in thoughtful contemplation and prayer.
In the morning he gathers the necessary ingredients. He then speaks briefly with Folbre. "Sir, I must cast a series of spells to ensure that the one mummy lord we fought that didn't teleport off does not rise again. As part of the spell, anyone interred within the 40 foot radius of one of the spells can never be turned into an undead. Should any of our residents wish their dearly departed to be within this spell, I will cast it in our cemetery."
Armand will have the mummy lords remains gathered up and placed in an old bucket used for cleaning out stables and bury it in a corner of the cemetery. He will then cast consecrate, hallow, and then dispel evil.

Neshi relates what he recalls about one, Francisco Van Studen, and suggests that if this is the same dude, and honestly how many guys are going around calling themselves Francisco Van Studen, then that may be a place to begin researching. eOsulfs confusion is replaced by relief, as he hears Folbrefs understanding of the journal. He asks if there is any information as to who this Druid may be. hSadly noh The elf answers, hThe truth is, either he just started journaling, or, more likely, he recently filled a volume and began a new book, bringing only his most recent journal with him, as the book is less than one quarter full, leaving us with very little to go byh
hI love the idea of hallowing the cemetery, not sure why I never thought of it myself actually, Just the thought of some nefarious ne'er-do-well using our departed loved ones in some evil scheme, is horrifying, especially after last night's activities. In fact if you could renew the spell anytime someone is interned, say as part of the funeral ceremony, It would be most welcome, the Tree would be willing to pay for any spell components, if they are too expensive, in the future.
By the way, we will be holding a mass funeral for last night's departed, this afternoon. We have invited our visitors to intern their loved ones here if they so desired, some have agreed, mostly the circus personal, in all we will be interning twenty two poor souls. Armand, as a cleric of Gargul, would you be willing to do the honors of presiding over the ceremony? It may be a good time to cast your spells. The service is slated to begin at 1:00, if that works for you guys, of course we can move the time if needed.
After sharing, Folbre stands up and excuses himself, and unless he receives any more questions, he will leave. Of course he will try to answer any more questions before departing.
Our industrious heroes begin making all preparations for Armandfs spells, and presumably the funeral, Armand shows little regard for the remains of the mummy lord, and whofs to blame him, after last nightfs activities. Atlas wonders out loud, if the hallow spell works on the living, and is informed that it only works on the dead.
The preparations are made and the time for the funeral/spell casting has arrived. The area is full of beautiful colors thanks to Elyngaelfs efforts at gathering flowers. Folbre is at the podium welcoming everyone, and after everyone is seated, he recites the names of the twenty two who are to be interned, and asks Armand to take the podium.

He will then stand aside if anyone else wants to speak.
Lastly he will cast consecrate, hallow, and then dispel evil. He will add a Bless spell as well. The 40 arrow will be under the Hallow and Bless for 1 year.

Atlas attends the funeral and pays his respects. He isn't big on these types of events; a life lived should be celebrated, not mourned. However, he knows what is expected and fills his role as a leader among the people while helping Armand with anything he needs to make this go off as planned.

Neshi, goes along with the other Wardens to the ceremony but, not being a fan of somber, and sad observances, stays in the back and lost in his own thoughts.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 88/116 Saturday April 11th, 2020 3:41:37 PM
Elyngael walks over to the other Wardens attending the memorial service. She understands that this is not what they enjoy doing, but it is a duty to the people of the Tree. She goes to the back where Neshi is and silently takes his hand, then holds out her other hand towards Atlas. She wants all the Wardens to join in solidarity against evil.
'Osul(Graham) AC:16 (T:11, FF:15), CMD:21, Saves:(F:9/R:5/W:15 + RNL), HP:6, HP:81/81, Wildshape(XV):6/7, Lightning Lord:12/13, Storm Burst:10/10 Saturday April 11th, 2020 7:30:00 PM
'Osul stands in support of the Wardens, the residents and the visitors to The Tree.
He thinks a small white bird taking flight for some distant place might make for a suitable end to proceedings, but summoning one is out of the question in these sombre circumstances. Instead he keeps an occasional eye out for something suitable. Some seed or grain obtained on the way to the service and held in his hand behind his back might do the trick.

Vamir willingly helps where needed, however having buried enough family over the last ten elf is hesitant to join the ceremony. Seeing a few of the wardens in the back he and Melzat join them.

Few if any of the Wardens wish to attend the funeral, and whofs to blame them. As Atlas puts it, "He would rather celebrate life", but our heroes do their due diligence, and make a show of solidarity of support for one another, the residence of the Tree, and those who are visiting. They also show solidarity in their desire to stand against the evils of the Wold.
Along the way, to the funeral, eOsul spies a small patch of wild barley, with a few heads of grain that would be ripe for harvest. Somehow this small patch has escaped being trampled by all the foot traffic in the recent days. He quickly harvests the grain and stashes it away.
Armand does a stellar job officiating the funeral, and there is not a dry eye in the place. Through his soothing words, however, he is able to give hope to those who were struggling to find any, and help redirect the survivors from a place of extreme mourning, to one of remembrance. Though a small distinction, it is one that leads to healing of the heart, which we all know takes time.
After the ceremony, Gunthred, and a few of the other circus people find their way to the Wardens compound. Guthred seems to have been made the unofficial spokesperson for the circus personnel.
Guthred begins: hThank you for your kind and helpful words mister Armand. Even though you didnft know any of our people, you treated them with the same respect as your own, and that is something we circus folk donft often receive. When people travel and spend their daily lives together, they become more than just friends, they become family, so we mourn our lost loved ones as brothers and sisters, and not just friends. Which is why Frankfs, or I guess I should say Franciscofs actions, to us is more than just an act of pure evil, it is also a betrayal, and to be betrayed in such a way, crushes ones spirit, and makes one think, gWhat do people think of the rest of us?h. We came here to offer any help we can, though we arenft sure if we will be any, and we want to go on record as saying, Franciscofs actions are his alone, and we were as blindsided as anyone by his vulgar display of evil, and attack against innocent people, many of whom were part of our family, including it turns out our ringleader, Brandorn. We found his body while helping sort all the corpses, and even though it was badly decayed, we were able to identify him, which leads us to believe the villain was using some sort of magic to disguise himself as Brandorn, or create an illusion of him.h

Atlas listens to Guthred, but keeps quiet since he is clearly speaking to Armand. Then again, there's not much to say even if he wanted to, so he starts going through a mental checklist of the things they need to do before the head out again.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Monday April 13th, 2020 5:15:37 PM
Armand scratches his head at Guthred speach. "I'm no expert on arcane spells, that would be Owen. But it seems to me like Fransico had an awful lot of spells going to be able to cover up all those zombies. Tell me Guthred do you remember him talking about his life or friends from before he joined the circus? Or for that matter when and where he joined your circus?"

Vamir listens intently to the conversation, the pain of so much loss and grief paining the young witch.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 88/116 Monday April 13th, 2020 9:16:29 PM
Elyngael and Brawn leave after the funeral rites and go for a long walk in the meadows and forests immediately around them. They return before dark feeling refreshed and ready for the next day. Elyngael cleans her clothing then takes a bath. She sleeps deeply and soundly that night.
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 101/101; CMD: 20 Monday April 13th, 2020 10:47:28 PM
Owen solemnly pats Armand on the back in congratulations for a service well-delivered.
When Gunthred's group comes to the Wardens with worries and information, Owen thanks him. "It was surely difficult for you to come to us, given the catastrophe. It helps cement in my mind, at least, that you were good people mislead and manipulated by someone evil. Please, take this as a token of our goodwill. Hopefully it will serve as an example for others at the Tree and elsewhere."
With that, Owen reaches into the voluminous pockets of his robes, retreives a handful of shimmering jewels (his 5000 gold's worth recovered from the lich), and gives them to Gunthred. "You can use it to restart the circus or split it up and settle down; we will support you either way."

Neshi adds his two cents worth in the conversation with Gunthred.
Gunthred, Did Franciso ever talk about his life before the circus when he work for some Noble?
DM Jeremy Battle Map Tuesday April 14th, 2020 5:14:11 AM
Guthred strokes his beard in thought then says while still stroking his beard, "Now that you mention it, I honestly can't think of a single time that Frank, I mean Francisco, ever talked about his past, isn't that strange, hum". He turns to the other circus people as if to silently ask if any of them remember anything, and they all shake their head no with the same confused looks on their faces as Guthred. "You may think it strange that none of us even bothered to ask him, but people often join the circus to get away from troubled pasts, so we tend to leave the past alone, if you follow me. He stops for a second obviously trying to get his head around the whole ordeal, then says, "I wouldn't say that Francisco was insistent about coming to the Tree of Parting, but he spent a lot of time in Brandorn's tent, and Brandorn was pretty insistent. Since Brandorn was our ringleader, we never questioned him, one location is as good as the next for us, though we do like the bigger cities, more people to entertain and all, but smaller venues such as the Tree of Parting are just as much fun for us, though not as profitable, is suppose. I guess since Brandorn was really Francisco, or an illusion made by him, what with Brandorn being dead, then he was pretty insistent". he then shakes his head in confusion.
When Owen offers the gems, Guthred face turns from confusion to amazement, he looks to his people and they all have the same look but they all seem to be shaking their head no. Guthred addresses them saying, "With this gift we can rebuild, hire new talent, and start all over again, what say you?" After Guthred's words the rest seem to be on the same page. Guthred excepts the gift form Owen and says, "Thank you my friends this gift is beyond generous, in your honor, I think we should change our name to the Traveling Tree Circus Extravaganza, and paint an image of the Tree of Parting on the Big Top!" With that the circus people turn to walk away, of course you can still ask them questions if you so desire.
Meanwhile Atlas is racking his brain to make a checklist of things to bring when they set out: sword -check, armor -check, food -check, ECT..., and Elyngael goes for a walk, On her walk Brawn chases up a pheasant, and a brace of grouse. He isn't in hunting mode, so he lets them go, though he is obviously enjoying himself.

So, is anyone up for a quick teleport to the city, to see what we can dig up about Francisco?
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Tuesday April 14th, 2020 6:11:26 PM
Armand nods at Nesi's comment. "Indeed, the Sages Guild at Plateau City may reveal much. I lament that we have yet to have a branch office opened up here." He grabs his pack. "Anyone else for a quick trip to Plateau City?"

Vamir listens to the conversation as it ends. As Owen hands over the gems the young elf wonders to himself, what good people I have found to travel with. One day I hope to be as good as they. Vamir shakes his head at Armand, "I am good here. I want to take some more time with the tree, and talk with the plants around the area. Perhaps they saw something more of Francisco and would be willing to tell me. Be safe, and I hope you are able to find some more information on the lich!"
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 101/101; CMD: 20 Tuesday April 14th, 2020 9:44:26 PM
Owen chimes in after Vamir does. "I'll stay here as well. Given Folbre's concerns, some of us should remain at the Tree--though I encourage you to inquire at the Sages' Guild."
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 88/116 Tuesday April 14th, 2020 9:45:55 PM
Elyngael agrees with Vamir. She has no use for anything from Plateau City. She will stay at the Tree and take advantage of the time to explore the surrounding area.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) DISPLACED AC: 34 (T 17 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 100/164 Tuesday April 14th, 2020 10:51:43 PM
Atlas passes on the opportunity to visit the city, "I need some time here at home, I want to check in with Miles and see how the guard are doing. Also, I was hoping someone would accompany me as I visit the seed that we planted. It was growing like a weed, so I imagine that it is creating shade now. Probably tomorrow, first I want to catch up with James some more."
When Atlas returns home he shares a meal with James and makes inquiries as to how everything is going, both at the Tree as well as for him in general. "You still happy here James?"
'Osul(Graham) AC:16 (T:11, FF:15), CMD:21, Saves:(F:9/R:5/W:15 + RNL), HP:6, HP:81/81, Wildshape(XV):6/7, Lightning Lord:12/13, Storm Burst:10/10 Wednesday April 15th, 2020 12:23:21 AM
'Osul follows the preferences and plans, until Atlas knocks him off his game. "Atlas, you planted the seed while I was away? We planted the seedling/sapling before it got too leggy, but I missed the planting of the seed?" "Clearly I need a down day or two to catch up with everything that has happened here at The Tree in my absence. I would like to accompany everyone that has plans here over the next day or two as well - if that is possible?" "Is Wiz-Bang still in his high log cabin?" He first accompanies Vamir, and provides what assistance he can with The Tree - after which he looks to catch up with Elyngael and Brawn.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Wednesday April 15th, 2020 5:23:16 AM
Neshi and Armand wish to take a quick jaunt to Plateau City to inquire at the Sage's Guild, though Armand does lament that the Tree doesn't have a branch yet. When they arrive at the Sage's Guild, they aren't able to ascertain to much about Francisco. His exploits, it seems, have either been done undercover, or have been hardly existent. They are able to learn that Francisco was originally from the Shadow Mountain area, and the nobleman whom he worked for was none other than Lord Whatnot, owner and founder of the Hall of Champions, on the western slope of the mountain. They were also able to ascertain that he would only be in his late 20's early 30's and so surmise, that he is a relatively young lich. While there, Armand is able to discuss the idea of opening a branch at the Tree, and both the Dean and Chancellor are very receptive. They tell Armand that they will begin looking into the idea of expanding their within the next week or so.
Meanwhile the rest of the Wardens, each for their own reasons elect to stay at the Tree. Vamir Chats with the Tree and some plants and finds a small juniper bush near where the Big Top was located, who seems to be very chatty. The juniper tells Vamir about how he saw some guy sneaking zombies into the circus undercover of night, and how he was afraid that he was going to be trampled to the root. Owen stays back to guard the Tree. Elyngael wanders about exploring the area. In her wanderings, she comes upon a foxes den and is able to watch a young litter of Fox pups playing under the watchful eye of their mother. Brawn finds something of interest as well, as he spies a beautiful all black she-wolf. the two lupines seem to hit it off, and it wouldn't be a surprise to Elyngael, if she spied the she-wolf lingering around the Tree, from time to time. Atlas wishes to check out the Tree's child, but mistakenly refers to it as the offspring of the seed, as apposed to the sapling, which causes 'Osul some concern, as he was hoping that he hadn't missed the seed planting. Atlas chats with James for a while, and James assures the fighter that he is very happy at the Tree, doing what he is doing. he feels well compensated for his work, and loves working for people who truly care for his well being. He especially loves having Isabel and Simon around, claiming it is nice to have the compound full of life, even when the Wardens are out on an adventure. When 'Osul asks about the seed, Atlas admits he miss spoke, and was referring to the sapling, and Atlas make plans to go check it out in the morning. 'Osul asks if Wiz-Bang is still around, living in his tree top cabin. 'Osul is with Vamir when the green mage finds and talks to the chatty juniper bush, and is with Elyngael when Brawn meets his lady friend.

Neshi, quickly moves Armand and himself to Plateau City to visit the sage Guild and do their research.
After several hours it is obvious that there just isn't much to find; though having the name of the Noble he worked for and where, is something at least.
While Armand is in discussions with the Guild about setting up a branch at the Tree, Neshi tells Armand he will meet him back here in an hour or so and goes for a quick visit to the WLA to update his membership.
When done he joins Armand back in front of the guild for the return trip.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) DISPLACED AC: 34 (T 17 FF 27) , CMD: 31, HP 100/164 Wednesday April 15th, 2020 12:14:30 PM
In the morning Atlas makes for the sapling, checking on its well being and inspecting the guard unit that was to protect it. He asks if anyone wants to play a game of cards or dice to pass the time.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 95/95 CMD 22 Character Sheet Wednesday April 15th, 2020 5:58:27 PM
Armand is disappointment that they could not find more information about Fransisco. However, he is please that there is hope of a branch library being opened at the Tree. He mentions that he has been making a small effort to create a lending library for the inhabitants, but it is not very full. The second floor has a 40x70 room designated the library of the Wardens Headquarters. See room A on the map.HQ
Armand will see if there is a way to send a letter to Lord Whatnot asking him about Fransisco and any friends he may have had that were druids. Sort of the standard FBI background security check sort of letter.
Armand spends some time picking up a few books in the local bookstore to add to the collection.
OOC, I've updated some room occupancy on the HQ. I also notice that Rattlebones has not been posting and is not listed below. Has he dropped? I know we dropped Finnan.

Vamir takes the downtime to recenter himself,spending as much time communing with tree, and nature in general. Vamir spends as much time as he can spare searching for herbs to enhance his potions (Herbalism DC 21 Survival DC 37). Vamir asks Osul if he would like to join him on his forays in an attempt to get to know the Druid.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 25 T:14, FF:21, CMD 30, HP 88/116 Wednesday April 15th, 2020 9:44:07 PM "Hey, Atlas, I'll play cards or dice with you, if you'll teach me," Elyngael volunteers. "My parents had no time for frivolous games. They said it was the pastime of city dwellers. We always stayed in the forest, and my father would teach me about tracking, and my mother about what was safe to eat. Sometimes I would hear the gypsies laughing and playing, but I was happy and felt no need to join in. How did you learn?"
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 18/14/14; HP: 101/101; CMD: 20 Wednesday April 15th, 2020 11:50:44 PM
Owen would play cards with Atlas, and Simon is very interested. The lad looks up to Atlas quite a bit.

In the morning 'Osul joins Atlas visiting the sapling, though it is probably not fair to call it that anymore. Today he is prepared for talking to trees.
