You are brought forth from your studies and other duties to discuss important matters with High Justice Zalsibar. He is the highest ranking official in your order. As you wait in a formal office, a door opens down the hallway and you hear footsteps get closer. In through the door comes the High Justice. He is wearing the formal robes of the order of the Crimson Crusade, flowing red ones that cover up mail armor underneath. At his side is the mace Truthebringer, most of you have never laid eyes upon it. He motions for you all to have a seat.
"I am sure you are wondering why I would ask an audience with you. Well, I have asked the commanding officers for their best initiates, and they assure me you are it. We have a bit of a problem. It seems we have some adventurers causing some problems. They feel the need to sway the balance and bring back great evil to the world. We, as you know, will have to put an end to it. I am afraid they have quite a head start on us though. I am going to send you on a few gathering missions first, as to prepare you for the impending fight with them. I will have one of my subordinates give you the orders, each place you are going will be for a piece of armor or weaponry of great power. These items have been monitored by us for sometime, but we did not want to forcefully take them until the time was dire. The first place you will need to go is to Quantus. Just outside of the city, their are some wild elves that hold a bow of great power. This will be the first item you will need to get, by force or by negotiation, your choice. If there are no questions, make haste as the evil grows stronger." The High Justice explains.

"Great High Justice" Argos bows with utmost respect. "What do we know of these elves? Do they abide by the tenets of the Crusade? We shall ensure that they do now add to the growing imbalance in the world by keeping this wondrous item to themselves." At the mention of wondrous items, Argos can't help but steal a glance at the glorious Trutheseeker on the Justice's belt.

Tethys bows low before the High Justice, "It will be as you say, sir, balance must be maintained by whatever means necessary," he says levelly, always prepared to do the will of the Crusade.
I hope we will be able to take the bow without using force, the last thing I want to do is spill blood unnecessarily, he thinks to himself as he tries to recall anything he may know about the elves or the area that may help in their cause.

"Elfies, eh? Hopefully it won't come to force" the halfling thinks to herself as she notices the others bowing to the High Justice. Never learning the proper etiquette for these types of situations she looks up to Zalsibar and performs a very awkward looking curtsy. "I wish they'd have covered how to handle oneself in these types of situations back at the monastery."
"We will retrieve the bow as you wish, sir!"

"This bow will be for your archer, to help fight off the oncoming foes. The other items will fit for the rest of your elite group. Remember, do what you must, these wild elves have no connection with the other elves of this world and are outcasts. I dare say, the dwarves that reside in Quantus would be glad to be rid of them." Says the High Justice. "See, Alfred on your way out and he will make sure you have passage and will give you the rest of my missives."
Oct 20, 2015 11:41 pm
Vikent bows deeply and with flourish. "Thank you for the opportunity and trust, High Justice. We shall endeavour to succeed."
Oct 21, 2015 4:10 am
Cuon, the elf, tries to remember what he knows of the elves of Quantus. "If they are outcasts -- can you remind us of what caused them to be so? Perhaps we can bring them back into the fold and not only get them to remove themselves from Quantus, and the dwarves there, but also acquire this artefact." He fidgets slightly with a feather for used for fletching, "Failing that, if justice demands we take a stronger action with them, certainly we can and will do so. I am mindful that force of arms is not always the best way to proceed, however."

"Well, history tells us that after the fall of the lesser gods, these elves slayed their leader and fled the others. The actual details are unknown to us though." He replies.
That is all that is known of these elves.

Oct 21, 2015 6:25 pm
Cuon nods. If they are kinslayers, there may not be an opportunity to negotiate. He turns to the other initiates, "Is anyone familiar with the terrain of Quantus? I've not yet had the opportunity to spend significant time there." Cuon frowns, "If these are wooded mountains, we may have somewhat of a challenge coaxing our... objective, out of hiding."
Oct 21, 2015 10:09 pm
Kicsi shakes her head in response to Cuon's query. "I've never traveled close enough to Quantus to know anything about the terrain in that area. The more I hear of these elves, however, I think terrain may be the least of our troubles."
Oct 22, 2015 1:19 pm
"I haven't been there, either," Vikent says distractedly. Fascinated by the bloodiest aspects of history, Vikent tries to recall anything relevant that he may have learned about that time.

"I'm not familiar with this particular group of elves, my tribe was far from there," Tethys says after thinking for a moment, then turns to the High Justice, "Please excuse us sir, we will make haste and return with the bow as soon as possible," with that he bows and turns to leave and find Alfred.
Oct 22, 2015 11:38 pm
Vikent doesn't recall much about these elves. It is possible that the history of this was covered up as the elves tend to handle their own problems internally.
Oct 22, 2015 11:40 pm
Tethys sees an elderly man waiting just outside the door. He has an armful of papers and seems to be waiting.
Oct 23, 2015 1:15 am
Cuon nods to his gathered associated and follows Tethys out the door, having nothing more to ask the High Justice -- who seems all too ready to be quit of the initiates.
Oct 23, 2015 1:32 am
Tethys approaches the man with the papers and says, "You must be Alfred? My name is Tethys and the High Justice told us you have something for us?"
Oct 23, 2015 1:56 am
"Yes, I have these maps and documentation of the items you will be retrieving. There is a ship in the docks waiting on you to set sail from Wyrmford, to the coast by Quantus and the woods." Alfred replies.
Oct 23, 2015 2:22 am
"Mmm. Woods. Not a great sign." Cuon notes. He gestures to Tethys, "Do you need a hand with any of that?"
Oct 23, 2015 2:56 am
"Thank you Alfred, how soon can the ship leave?" He says, then turns to Cuon, "Yes, some help would be greatly appreciated, thank you."
Oct 23, 2015 3:01 am
"And how long will be on board?" Kicsi adds as she stands on her toes to try and get a glimpse of some of the documentation that Alfred has brought.
Oct 23, 2015 3:10 am
Cuon takes ahold of the maps, "These are right up my alley. I can use some of the shipboard time to study them and will welcome anyone else interested in paying attention to what they have to say. I shall not greedily husband them." He nonetheless absently begins to unfurl one and awkwardly gaze upon it in the middle of the doorway.
Oct 23, 2015 3:02 pm
Vikent, amused by his companions questions, smirks to himself. He is a man of deeds, and while sharp of mind, is also quick to action. "Come, my friends, let us not dally overly long. We have roads to ride, seas to sail, and bold deeds to do. Our good sir has no doubt a hundred other things to do today."
He doesn't leave, however, as he knows that they haven't yet been dismissed.

Cuon rolls up the map and nods to Vikent. "Fair enough. We'll have plenty of time to study maps aboard the ship."
Oct 23, 2015 5:21 pm
"Very good. The crusade demands that this imbalance be corrected. We have been brought together by fate to do this task for the Great Crusade. Let us be about our task."
Argos readies to follow the party outside once they are dismissed.

Alfred motions to the door, "If you have your things, then go to the docks and get on board the Perechon, they are awaiting you."
Oct 23, 2015 6:14 pm
Tethys thanks Alfred and heads down to the docks with the others to find the ship.
Oct 27, 2015 6:52 pm
The sometimes chaotic nature of the seas worried Argos, but he had faith that he would be carried to safety in order to advance the message of the Crimson Crusade. With the barest of hesitation Argos makes his way on to the ship, prepared to set sail.
Oct 27, 2015 10:13 pm
You get to the docks and see a twin masted warship with a 120 foot keel, 20 feet in width, a ballista mounted on the graceful bow, two astern, sleek lines, a fine mahogany railing with posts that looked like ornate columns, a hardened walnut bowsprit, and a main deck of stained oak. On the side of the ship in gold lettering is the name Perechon.
On the deck you see a woman shouting orders and the crew. She is tall, lithe with ebony skin, eyes and curling hair the shade of midnight, and had golden earrings that nearly hang to her shoulders.

Oct 27, 2015 11:03 pm
Cuon looks to Tethys. He seems to have taken point as the leader of this band of initiates and would rather he made first contact with the captain, anyway. He pats the maps rolled up into a container at his side, eager to get settled on board and spend some time reviewing them.
Oct 27, 2015 11:10 pm
Tethys will approach the woman, assuming that she is the captain, saying, "Well met, I am Tethys, and we have come under the orders of the High Justice. We were told that you would grant us passage to Quantas?"
Oct 27, 2015 11:14 pm
"Aye, I'm to take you there and back, but I'm not fighting your battles for you. We will be ready if you need a quick escape though. The name is Maquesta, well met indeed." She replied.
Oct 27, 2015 11:49 pm
Cuon, not far from Tethys, nods and adds his name, "Cuon." He looks around, "Should we be below during departure? Or will we be in the way if we're on deck?"
Oct 28, 2015 12:01 am
"You'll be fine either place. Roderick can show you to your quarters if you like. Separate rooms for each." She says pointing to a short, bent backed old man.
Oct 28, 2015 2:42 am
"I've never been on such a magnificent ship!" Kicsi exclaims as she runs to join the others on deck. Circling in place as she takes in the sights her gaze falls upon Maquesta and she quickly introduces herself, "Kicsi Leszúr, my good Captian! Many thanks for helping us along in our journey."
Oct 28, 2015 1:23 pm
Vikent bounds aboard and greets Maquesta. "I'm Vikent, well met!" He nods to Roderick and hefts his pack. "I would like to stow this, my good man. Lead on!"
Oct 28, 2015 3:42 pm
Cuon will seek out his lodging with Roderick as well, marveling at the luxury of a private cabin.
Oct 28, 2015 3:48 pm
Tethys bows to Maquesta, "We thank you for your kindness," he says before moving to take his meager possessions below.
Oct 29, 2015 12:12 am
Cuon notes to the party, "I'll take one of the smaller rooms. I expect I'll spend most of my time above on the deck rather than in my room, so I won't have any need of these larger ones here." He follows Roderick down the the lowest deck and finds himself in the room on the port side of the vessel, aft of the stairs. Cuon will stow his belongings and then head back to the deck.
Oct 29, 2015 12:24 am
"I'll take whatever's left. I didn't bring much and can pretty much sleep anywhere."
With that said, Kicsi quickly returns to the deck.

The deck is busy as everyone on board is rushing back and forth to prepare for departure. A dwarf is talking to Maquesta and hands her a small box that has intricate carvings on it. She quickly puts it in her pocket and he hurries off the ship.
"We set sail shortly." Maquesta yells.

Cuon stays out of the way of the crew, but remains on deck - he is eager to be off.
Nov 1, 2015 11:40 pm
Tethys doesn't spend much time below deck, preferring the open air and sky. He waits by the railing of the ship to set sail, staring at the water stretching out forever.
Nov 2, 2015 1:44 am
"Hmmm, wonder what's so important that she'd leave the ship so close to departure." Kicsi says as she sees the interaction between Maquesta and the dwarf.
If she can she'll catch up to the dwarf and introduce herself (in dwarven).

Vikent keeps in the midst of the crew, cheering them on, but not quite in the way. He'll even help if it seems like it might be fun.
Nov 4, 2015 12:24 am
The ship is bustling with people. The plank is pulled and mooring lines are pulled. The last few sailors that unhooked the line jump to the ropes and climb aboard. The ship gently glides away from the dock.
Nov 4, 2015 5:19 pm
Absent something particularly intriguing happening, Cuon will keep out of the way of the sailors on the voyage, occasionally chatting with off-duty personnel. He will spend significant time studying the maps provided by his superiors to ensure he has the details sufficiently committed to memory when the time comes.
Nov 5, 2015 12:16 am
Kicsi will spend as much time on deck as possible and will on occasion practice her newly learned cantrip and produce weird and colorful objects that dance about in front of her. If any of the crew show any interest in what she's doing she'll ask if there's something that they would like to see her try and create.
She's playing with the minor illusion cantrip, mostly because it amuses her.

Argos will spend his time in the deepest cabin of the ship in deep meditation. Pondering the course of the Crimson Crusade and attempting to receive messages from the spirit of the crusade itself.
At all meal times he will be conspicuously dressed in his Crimson Crusade regalia, occasionally asking uncomfortable questions of the crew regarding their loyalty to the Crusade.

The winds were with you and you come to anchor just off the coast.. Unfortunately, you must lower and take the long boats to shore, it is the quickest route. There is a port up in Tersa if the party would rather go there first, but then it will be several days ride back down to the forest. The captain awaits your decision.
Nov 10, 2015 11:19 pm
"As much as I'd like to remain on the ship I think it would be best if we got on with our task." Pausing for a second she turns to any of the others around her while pointing to the long boats and asks "Do any of you know how to work these things?"
Nov 10, 2015 11:43 pm
The captain motions and two of her men lower the longboats and climb in taking oars.
Nov 10, 2015 11:53 pm
Tethys simply shrugs, "I grew up in the forest, I don't know how to use a boat. Not that a rowboat could the that difficult."
Seeing the boat being lowered, Tethys will climb in and wait to go out to land.

Cuon staggers above decks with his stuff. The past day or so, something clicked and he's been horrifically motion sick. "Oh good. We're getting off." He still looks a little green around the edges, and he steps gingerly, but he is as eager as any others to be rid of the Demon of the Water that is this ship.
Nov 11, 2015 4:42 pm
Vikent tosses his pack into a boat and then jumps in. Unpleased with the height of the gunwales (he can barely see over them) he climbs onto the bow, and stands tall. "Thanks Captain, we're much obliged!"

Kicsi will follow Argos into the boat, chirping at him the whole time, trying to get him to break his stoic silence.
Nov 17, 2015 12:50 am
Each of you get into the longboat one way or the other. The crewmen row towards shore. Underneath the boat you occasionaly see large shadows swim by, and once you feel something nudge the boat. The crewmen deftly dodge jagged rocks and pull up on the sandy beach. They get out and steady the boat allowing for departure.
"We will await your return." The one wearing the red shirt says.
Their is a small beach that ends directly in trees. You can see a small worn path leading into the woods, it appears to be used frequently. The path winds south and west away from Quantus towards the mountains.

"I have some skill in navigating the wilderness -- though, less in the forest I'll admit." Cuon offers. "Either way, I can take point and scout ahead if that's valuable. Otherwise, perhaps I can station myself to the rear where my bow can provide covering fire if we need it."
Nov 17, 2015 4:03 am
"I could take lead if you'd like, I grew up and trained in the forest. You can take rear guard, I'd feel better with a good archer at my back," Tethys responds to Cuon.
Nov 17, 2015 4:20 am
Cuon nods to Tethys, "An excellent suggestion. I bow to your greater experience in forests. Oddly enough, plains are my thing." He settles in towards the rear of the group, ensures he has an arrow easily at hand and looks and listens, mindful of the sounds of nature.
Nov 18, 2015 11:07 pm
The path into the forest is well worn and it looks ancient, almost as if the trees and plants have pulled away and leave a clear path into the heart of the woods.

The path winds and curves, it's not easy to tell which direction you are going as the canopy overhead lets just enough light through to see. You see no signs of any life other than normal woodland creatures until you round a corner. You see an old and long cold fire ring in a small clearing. The rocks around the fire ring are moss covered and have not been occupied in sometime. It seems that the sun must be getting lower in the sky, because the forest is steadily getting darker.

Tethys nods to Kicsi's suggestion, "Yes, this would be a perfect opportunity to take a rest."

You quietly walk out of the clearing, pass a small amount of dead branches and pine cones. A squirrel barks at you for taking his pine cones.

The woods sound like all woods usually do. You can hear the wind blow through the trees and some rustling of sticks and branches from small woodland creatures. The paths are free from debris and look like they were once well traveled, but the moss coating things makes it appear that this has been a long forgotten area.
Dec 5, 2015 2:10 pm
Vikent, not really at home in the wilderness, takes the time to try and gleam information from their surroundings. Still he enjoys the walk after the long voyage, and feels that his companions are quite capable of scaring off any typical threat. What were we after? Some wild and crazy elves? Probably won't even see them coming.

Suddenly at ease, the halfling gladiator stretches out and chews on a dry stick. He pulls nods to each of the others.
"This be a magical place, no doubts. Those wild elves work, right? Well, let's not all of us rest our eyes at the same time. Who knows what fell enchantments guard these folk."
He stands up, stretching some more, and then exits the firelight so that his eyes adjust to the rising darkness. "I'll take first watch."

Within minutes everyone in the party falls asleep. Vikent lasts a few more minutes after them, but his eyes grow too heavy and he finally drifts off to sleep.
You all dream of the clearing you are in, but it has vibrant colors and is filled with the scent of flowers. The trees themselves turn and you see the limbs stretch and move. Eyes open on the trunk and blink several times. Mouths open in what looks like a yawn.
A maple tree turns to a cherry tree, "Who are these that come into our glade? It has been long since we have had visitors. They do not appear to be loggers, they only took enough dead wood to warm themselves."
The cherry tree replies, "They wear the colors of Justarius, he has no qualms with the forests."
A birch tree interrupts, "I think he may know what happened to Valina though. He is all that I sense. Valina and her children are gone."
"Well, let us not be rude. We need to greet our guests and maybe have a palaver with them." An old, creaking oak says. "Welcome guests, are you here as friends of the forest?"
You can see each other, and this feels like no dream.

Dec 28, 2015 11:32 pm
"The elf you seek is Galius. He has not had visitors for quite some time. He came here seeking solace and solitude. After much discussion, we allowed this." He replies.
Dec 29, 2015 3:51 pm
Cuon frowns, "Were we not under the impression it was in the possession of some dwarves in the region?"
Dec 30, 2015 12:35 am
Tethys looks at Cuon oddly, Could he really have forgotten so soon?
He turns back to the trees, "And where might we find this Galius that you speak of?"

"After you awake, follow the path to the spring and his hut is there. He, may be, sleeping as he tends to do as of late." The oak replies.

The trees start turning from you and one by one they move back to their original locations and darken a little. They seem to be normal trees once more.
"Good luck my friends, remember, the crimson king is not all that he seems to be."

Tethys wakes shortly after their encounter with the trees, "Wake up, it's time to go. We're not far from our goal here!"
Jan 7, 2016 4:38 pm
Vikent also wakes up, humbled by the encounter. He chews on his lip thoughtfully for a moment, and then bursts into motion, packing his gear and fiddling with breakfast.
"That was great! I wonder if we'll meet any more locals!"

Kicsi sits up and rubs the sleep from her eyes. "Certainly an interesting night." she says to no one in particular as she rolls up her bedroll and belts on her sword. "A little something to eat and we can get on our way!"
Jan 8, 2016 7:24 pm
Cuon raises from his bedroll and gets things in order, double checking his fletching, his bow and whatnot to ensure that things are in order for the trip ahead. He gainfully assists with making breakfast to ensure the party can get on with the day's task without having rumbling bellies.
Jan 17, 2016 9:02 pm
There are two paths leading from the clearing. The one you came in on and the one leading deeper into the forest.
Jan 17, 2016 9:06 pm
Tethys leads his companions deeper into the forest, confident now in their path.
Jan 18, 2016 3:32 am

The path seems to be the same as before, no fresh tracks, but the plants stay clear. The forest never seems to get any darker, even though the canopy is thick. After walking for a good part of the morning, you come around a corner and the sound of water, like a brook, can be heard and ahead the path opens up and is in full sun.
As you come out of the path and into the clearing, your breath is taken away. The meadow has about three dozen or so small houses in it and one larger building in the center. The houses are made from willow trees that have been bent and shaped to form the ceiling and walls and the leaves have filled in the spaces. There are openings for windows, but no glass. The doors are made from live willows too. The houses are a piece of art in themselves.
The bigger building is the masterpiece though. It is made in the same fashion as the other smaller ones, but has a myriad of colors on it too. Weaved along with the willows are flowers of every shape, size, and color. The window frames and the entire door are made out of some vines that looks like pure silver. The roof is made of what appears to be platinum colored pine cones and the dew on it glistens in the late morning sun.
This place looks like a paradise by all means, until you look past the houses. Behind the houses are what look to be gardens and storehouses. The gardens are filled with weeds and dead plants. The storehouses are empty and in disrepair. The brook had some areas that it looked like were at one time little diversions that went to small ponds, but they are clogged and the water dried up or stagnant. In the center of the meadow is a single tree, it's bark is gray and green from the moss covering it. The branches look split and it appears to be almost dead. One branch is still barely living and has one platinum leaf still growing on it.
The air is thick here and it isn't as welcoming as the last clearing you stopped in.

"This doesn't look like what I expected. The tree guardians seemed to imply someone was here." Vikent looks around, loosening his blades in their sheathes, searching for signs that unravel the enigma. "Treachery, but by whom?"

As you peer into the building, you see furnishings from the same design as the houses except one. In the middle of the room you see a chair made from the silver vibes and laced with gold leaves. Sitting in this throne you see a husk of a being. It would appear he is dead, but you see it's chest rise as a loud snore comes from it.

Kicsi will leave the building she's at and move over to join Tethys."Whatcha fine?" she asks quietly as he pushes open the door.

Vikent, creeped out but still upbeat, dances from foot to foot and keeps an eye out from outside Tethys' house.

Cuon stays out of doors -- observing the area and staying alert. The ancient man is well within the gift of his colleagues to manage.

Tethys steps in the sunlight coming in the window and blocks it from the being.
The being raises his head, "What's this? Young man, either hand me my glasses from the stand there, or get out of my sun light!"
The old man waves his cane and pointed ears slip out as his hair jostles around.

Vikent calls inside, "By all you find holy, ask him if we can assist him with anything. Show more respect for your elders!" Vikent smiles quietly to himself, amused at having fun at his companions expense.
His smirk wears off soon, distracted by the strange homestead they have come across. Protected by the tree guardians, maybe, he considers. He balances on one leg for a bit, and hops back and forth. Soon he balances on his hands, the back of his legs against the side of the wood elf's cottage, and rocks back and forth, easing his weight onto one hand, then the other.
From his upside down vantage, he reconsiders the homestead. Where would I keep a mystical bow?

Tethys looks confused, "Recruits, sir? There are no recruits here, we have come to inquire with Galius about a bow he is supposed to possess."
Jan 29, 2016 5:14 pm
"I am Master Galius, head Druid of the Order of the Grove, head professor and crafter of items. You seek a bow do you. Did not my brothers tell you anything?" The old elf barks.
Jan 30, 2016 5:39 pm
Taking Viking's advice Kicsi will approach Master Galius. "Master Galius, we're not recruits, sir, but while we're here is there something we can assist you with?"

"I am confused. Can you get Tarvis, my aide, he can sort this out." He replies before he has another coughing fit.

"I'm sorry sir, but you're the only one that we've seen here. We were sent by the trees down the path to find you."
Feb 2, 2016 12:57 am
"That's right...... I'm the only one left. We were once strong and thrived in glades all over Talos. Our members died and we had none to refill our ranks. Elves wood flock to join us and learn the ways of the Druidic Order of the Grove, but the foul drow disguised themselves and infiltrated our ranks. They did unspeakable things in our name causing our banishment from the other elves. Many hunted us down to exterminate us." he starts coughing and you notice more blood on his lips, "You must believe me, we were honorable and just. Kir'lin smiled upon us and granted her blessings. You believe me don't you?"
Feb 2, 2016 2:43 am
"Of course we do!" Kicsi responds. "Are you sure there isn't something we could do to help you out while we're here?"
Feb 3, 2016 1:55 am
"There is a druid among you, yes?" He asks, "I would task him with something, and then I will give you the bow."
Feb 3, 2016 10:49 am
"Go young one and pluck my leaf from the tree, bring it back to me for a blessing." He says dryly.
Feb 3, 2016 2:25 pm
Listening from outside, Vikent leans against the side of the hut and keeps an eye on the creek, looking for the likely spot the elven druids would hide a bow. "Pluck my leaf?" he mumbles to himself. "I really don't understand druids."
Feb 3, 2016 2:47 pm
Tethys bows to the ancient elf and leaves to get the leaf. When he gets it he returns and hands it to Galius.

As Tethys pulls the last platinum leaf from the tree, the limb holding it falls to the ground. Upon second look, the limb is an exquisitely carved wooden bow. The carvings on it seem like runes in some long forgotten language.
Inside the building
Kicsi notices after a short pause, a smile comes across the old elf's face. He lets out a deep breath, "Tell the Druid to shake the leaf."
The elf slouches in the chair and ceases to breath, Kicsi slowly reaches her hand out to check if he is still alive, but before her hand touches him, his body shakes violently and rises into the air.
His eyes shoot open and are glowing green.
"Hear me through my loyal servant, I have but an instant. Your path and God are wrong. You are being deceived, the Crimson King only brings chaos and death. He imprisoned me and corrupts my power for his own ends."
His body shakes again and explodes into a cloud of colors and hundreds of butterflies swarm around Kicsi and funnel out the door.

Tethys sighs and shakes his head at Vikent then proceeds to shake the leaf, "Yeah, why don't you grab that?"

"Is the bow intended to be used?" Cuon asks, "Or is it intended to be in our care and returned? If the former I'd like to put my voice into consideration to wield it as," he points to his bow, his quiver, and -- in fact -- his general outfit. "Shooting bows is kind of what I do."
Feb 4, 2016 9:27 pm
As Tethys shakes the leaf, it unfolds and unfolds and unfolds into what appears to be armor made from leaves. They are platinum, just like the original leaf. Tethys instantly knows the armor for what it is, as if some divine power informs him.
Cuon hears the voice of High Justice Zalsibar
"This bow will be for your archer, to help fight off the oncoming foes. The other items will fit for the rest of your elite group. "

"Sooooo, did that elf inside make it? Not the bow, okay, well maybe the bow, too, but is he still alive?"

You get back through the forest without incident. You come out onto the beach just as the sun is descending into the ocean. The men are sitting on the beach and jump up when they see you.
"You finally made it! We need to go back to the ship now! Did you guys kill the dragon or whatever silly thing you were doing?"
The other sailer elbows the first, "I believe what he meant was, we are glad to see you. We are both anxious to get back to the ship." He smiles oddly.
"Yeah! I'm starving! We ate all the meat we found on the beach and are dying to get our hands on more!" The first sailor says with a wink.

"Back to the ship sounds like a good idea." Cuon is unsettled by the remark about cannibals. Is the halfling joking? Is something afoot, he's decidedly uncertain. As a result, he hangs back a bit, in case he needs to use his bow -- he'd like the room to do so.

The ground around them has lots of footsteps and some tossed sand. In the sand Kicsi sees some red staining and can tell right away it's blood. Kicsi realizes that she didn't ever her these sailors talk before, but something wasn't quite right about them. They were standing by the boat and arguing over how to get them back to the ship. She sees the clothes they are wearing have some small tears, almost like claw marks in them and they have a light blood stain in those areas, but the men seem fine.
They see you scrutinizing them and straighten up. "I think we have caught something that is affecting us. It's probable just a bug. I'm sure we'll be fine once we get some rest on the ship." One of them says.

"Why don't you tell us about the struggle that took place here earlier?" she demands, pointing at the blood and turned sand.

Leaning on the bow of the small shore boat, Vikent nods at Kicsi, then at the sailors response. He seems convinced, seemingly takes the soldiers at their word, but when they look back at Kicsi, however, he makes sure his blades are on free in their scabbards. The blades make a tell-tale sound as the metal rubs the hardened leather.

Vikent moves slightly so that his companions aren't in the way, and then casts Thunderwave on the clones.
OOC:
A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you. Each creature in a 15-foot cube originating from you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 12). On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t pushed. In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are automatically pushed 10 feet away from you by the spell’s effect, and the spell emits a thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet.Rolls

Bathed in blood Kisci drops her arms by her side and lets out a sigh. "Well, this has been about the grossest experience I've ever had." She slowly walks over to the water and does the best she can to clean herself off.
"Someone wanna take a look at the corpses while I'm cleaning up. Maybe there's something useful on those things."

After the battle, Tethys remains his bear form and keeps watch to make sure no other danger approaches.

The beach is quiet and the only sound is the waves lapping, and Kicsi washing off. Sea birds are flying over head and calling out to each other. A small crab walks up to one of the corpses and starts pinching it's flesh. The boat is still moored and secure.

Mar 11, 2016 5:20 pm
Not finding anything of interest among the corpses, Kicsi will join Vikent in the boat. "Not really a job for us halflings!" she says with a laugh in her native tongue as she offers Vikent a hand.
Mar 11, 2016 10:39 pm
Standing up on the benches, the halflings can row just fine. It would be easier with more hands though.

Seeing no further danger, Tethys will transform back into his elven form and get in the boat to help the halflings row.

Cuon will help row as well, "Do you suppose the crew are all gone -- and eaten?"

The group rows slowly and takes about three times as long to row back, but are greeted by the captain and crew. They toss you a line and rope ladder.

"I must unfortunately report that your crewman were overcome and impersonated, then. When we got back they were acting oddly, and when confronted they changed form to look like us and attacked."

"I think the 'gangers must have gotten them on the beach. There were definitely signs of a struggle when we had returned." Kicsi pauses for a moment before adding, "I'm sorry about the loss of your men..."

Vikent climbs on board, and frees his swords in his sheathes. "Is that right? Best friends and all? You'd back them in a fight? Let them date your daughter?" He sizes up the crew, and cracks his neck expectantly.
Mar 13, 2016 4:05 am
"I assure you, I have no daughter and if I did, she could date who ever could handle her!" She replies with a wink, "They were good men and they will be missed, but tis the chance we all take. Are we heading back to the city or shall we escort you to the next location marked on the map?"
Mar 14, 2016 7:02 pm
"Let's move on to the next location. No need to go back unless someone needs to resupply?"

"Then to the frozen waters of Frost Keep we go. I have never been to the island myself, but I hear giants live there!" Replies Marquesta. "Raise the anchor and lose the boredom, we head into dangerous waters!"

The ship pulls off the coast and sails north. The wind is getting noticeably colder and more brisk the longer they go. Tersa comes into view as they are keeping closer to the coast line for safety. The sun sets on their second day of sailing.
A bird flies into the boat and the captain grabs it. On it's leg is a tube with a scroll of paper in it. She quickly reads it, and writes something down, then let's the bird go again. It takes flight and heads to the city.
"It looks like the water is ice jammed closer to the island and we might have a long walk to get to the keep. I have furs and warm clothes in the hold if anyone needs them." Maquesta announces to the party.

"I'm sure we at least have a wolf cloak!" She responds.
You find a cape with clasps that wraps around you and the wolf's head covers over your head like a hat and face mask. The eyes are gone and open and you can look out of them.

Cuon will also obtain what furs he can to remain warm. While he has some clothing for the cool plain evenings, he's not equipped for wintry travel.

"It appears that we have just a little sailing time left, then we will have to travel on foot." Maquesta says.
The crew start turning some wheels and chains crawl out from their wound positions. The ornamental piece on the front of the ship starts lowering and a gigantic metal piece starts rolling down the bow.
"That would be our ice breaker. It will get us closer, then the ship will come back out to unfrozen water to wait." She says after seeing your interest.

Vikent, temporarily forgetting the possibly large number of cannibalistic sailors surrounding them, helps as he can (mostly by lending his strength to strenuous tasks) and otherwise entertains the sailors with his various antics.
As they approach the ice covered shores, he grins at the prospect of seeing this 'icebreaker' in action. "Is it magic or some sort of gnomish contraption?"

Vikent bolsters morale with his performance, and not a one of the crew looks like they are going to eat you, not even the Minotaur that looks dressed to adventure.
"Pure brute strength," says a gnome beside Vikent, "The sheer force of the ship moving along with the angle of the blades make the ship cut right through ice, now if you should stop for too long, the ice would just freeze up around the ship and that would be bad, yep bad, bad, bad, so we wouldn't want to do that, we must keep moving, hence why we would drop you off and head back out to open sea, otherwise we'd have to swim back, which is improbable because no of us could swim that far, maybe if we jump on the minotaur over there and just float on him we'd make it, but I'd have to do some calculations on that, yes indeed..."
The gnome was away doing calculations out loud as he does.

Tosher clomps across the wooden planks of the boat to the one that called him, "What can I do?", he says bluntly. He chuffs at the air and two long clouds of fog stream from his flaring nostrils. A large axe and shield are slung across his back.
Looking down at the one in the wolf skin he says, "Who's wolf pup is this?" a deep laugh rumbles out of the large creature.

Mar 22, 2016 10:26 pm
"Aye, little one. Doesn't seem like it would be much of a burden", he says as his chuckles stifle off. He bends down on one knee and gives Kicsi a pat on the head.
Standing back up he reaches a height of well over 6 feet. His shoulders broad, and his fur a thick dark brown. Two horns curl forward from the side of his head and end in decorative metal caps. Despite the roundness of the caps one may still assume it wouldn't be pleasant to be hit with them.

"Thank you Tethys", the words sound a little foreign from his mouth. Though it probably sounds as natural as a cows tongue could sound pronouncing an elven name.
He thumps a fist on his chest, rattling his chain mail slightly, and stands up straight as he announces to the group, "I am Tosher, of the Mascun clan. Son of Cinmac and direct descendant of Mascun himself." He seems to swell with pride as he announces the last bit.

"Well met Vikent. Cuon. It looks like I will be in good company", I say as I take out my axe and inspect the blade. Probably could use another sharpening.
"Have you been enjoying your time on the ship? It's quite a feat of strength and power. S'what drew me to being a crewman in the first place. Normally If you see a Minotaur coming at you in a boat you've already met your end", I say as I let out another deep laugh and sink my axe deeply into the wood planks of the deck, probably receiving another disapproving look from the captain.

Vikent leads nimbly down and takes a huge breath. He turns back to the boat and bows theatrically. "Safe floating, my friends, we'll try to be quick!"

After the party moves a safe distance out, the ship's sails come out and it starts pulling out to sea.
Apr 3, 2016 3:28 am
Before you lies a desolate frozen wasteland, it is just ice and snow as far as you can see. It looks like there is a small snow storm in the distance. You know that you must head north to get to the island and your destination.
Apr 4, 2016 12:03 am
Pulling the wolf skin head tightly over her own Kicsi laments the lack of cover that the terrain affords. "If there's anything bad out here, they'll certainly see us coming."
Apr 4, 2016 2:01 am
Then they will see their death marching towards them, pup., Tosher says, his eyes fixed to the horizon. The cold bristles his fur a bit but it's never been much of a danger to him before.
Apr 5, 2016 3:31 am
Vikent trudges through the snow, following Tosher and growing to hate the minotaur for his immense stride. Soon, he is chewing his lips in frustration. Damn my short legged mother!
Apr 5, 2016 3:42 am
Tethys leans down to speak to Vikent, "Just follow Tosher's path, should keep you put of the snow. He's creating quite the trail for us."
Apr 5, 2016 10:31 pm
The snow gets deeper and has a crust of ice on top of it, but Tosher seems to have no trouble walking through it. The ground seems to change up ahead. It has some rolling hills and slopes to it.
Apr 5, 2016 11:40 pm
Having had her share of trouncing through snow nearly as deep as she is tall Kicsi will call for her ride. "Tosher! How 'bout a lift, Big Guy. Not only will it keep me out of this gods forsaken snow, it'll give us an extra set of peepers up high."
OOC:
Assuming Tosher is willing, Kicsi will scan the hill from her new perch. If Tosher is unwilling then she'll scan what she can from ground level.Rolls

Tosher easily grabs the halfling and hefts her up onto his shoulders. Keep watch on the horizon, pup. This land is filled with plenty that will gladly do to you what you have done to that wolf, he says, implying the wolf skin that Kicsi wears.
Apr 6, 2016 10:41 pm
The thought of some beast wearing Kicsi skin would have sent a shiver down the halfling's spine - if she weren't already shivering.
"Thanks for the lift, Tosh!"

Too little to match strides, Vikent takes to hopping from one of Tosher's giant footprints to another. "I can keep this up all day," he says, before realizing how hard it is to jump in the broken snow. As the snow grows harder, he attempts to walk on the crust, as dainty as a butterfly.
Apr 7, 2016 12:22 am
Scanning the horizon, Kicsi sees two or three large objects darting back in forth quite a ways ahead of them, but they seem to be heading towards you.
Apr 7, 2016 12:26 am
"Heads up! Seems to be something heading this way. Looks like... two? no three? Big whatever they are." Kicsi warns the others. "Tosh, when they get close toss me to your left, far as you can, if you would."

"And leave my ride? Never!" Kicsi answers with a laugh before taking on a more serious tone.

Tosher turns and charges wolf 2 as it tries to snap at Vikent. He swings the heavy axe through the air. We'll not be your meals tonight! Only defeat shall slate your hunger.

Cuon takes aim at the third of the wolves as the lead goes down. Concentrating our offense onto them helps reduce the risk of serious damage to the rest of his party and he's of the opinion that the wolves have done more than enough damage already.

The last remaining wolf is cut almost in two by Vikent's blade. It collapses and a pool of red flows from it's lifeless form.

Kicsi will recover her wolf skin and both of her darts. Still staggered from her wounds she stands straight up, puts her arms straight out to her side, and falls back into the snow. "Ugh. I could use a bit of a rest after that!" she blurts out, staring at the sky.
Apr 27, 2016 12:56 am
Cuon sets up his bow and looks around, critically. "Are these beasts common to the region?" He looks around at his colleagues, curious if any of them have better information than he on the frozen tundra.
Apr 27, 2016 12:56 am
Vikent's blood flows freely into the white snow. He glances at his companions. "Everyone okay for now? I think we should make camp and sew up our wounds."

A rest may be a good thing, so long as we have fire for warmth, otherwise you can find yourself quickly fatigued out here in the cold.
He looks over to Kicsi, That fur can only keep you warm for so long around here, pup.

"I have heard stories, I think, of homes made of snow and ice. Perhaps if we could craft something that would keep us with air to breathe, we could have smaller quarters that would be less easy to spot from a distance and might be tight enough that our own warmth will keep us alive while you heal?" Cuon is uninjured, but not deaf to the needs of his battered colleagues.

It dawns on Kicsi that it's just like the mud huts she built as a kid, but only made with ice. Tethys knows how to cut the blocks.

Uninjured, Cuon keeps watch -- looking consistently and carefully over the frozen landscape. He occasionally flits his eyes to the foreground to watch his colleagues in order to ensure his eyes don't become used to the unending white. His bow is out, but not drawn as he keeps a constant vigilance as the eeglu gets built.
Apr 28, 2016 2:18 am
Tosher does what he can to help construction of this igloo. He has heard tape of these before but never seen one constructed. He offers to stomp down snow, carry blocks, and whatever else he can do to help.
Apr 28, 2016 2:30 am
Starting to stiffen from her wounds Kicsi pushes on. Stacking the blocks reminds her of the mud huts she would build with her siblings when they were all young. The memories bring a smile to her chilled face.
"Didn't use to make these for anyone much larger than myself, Tosh. We're going to have to dig a little more snow out of this thing to get you in there!"

A watch would be wise. Who knows if there is more to that pack, or if the battle brought attention to our position. If you don't mind me asking, where is it we are headed? The captain had only told me I would be working to escort and protect the group.

Cuon is as rested as he can be, having taken a watch and tried hard to look after his colleagues who had a rougher time of the wolves than head did. Still, his eyes are a little droopy and he's a little colder than he'd prefer to be. As the group stirs, he makes his way out to scan the area for trouble.

Cuon's eyebrows raise at this last. "Did someone move the wolves?" he asks the rest of the party.

"I couldn't move on of those things if I tried!" Kicsi responds as she looks about. "Wanna see if there's any trails in the snow?"

Vikent wakes, refreshed from the night's sleep. "Well, we survived the night sleeping in a HOUSE MADE OF SNOW! And we didn't die!" He claps Tosher on the hip, since he can't reach the shoulder. "Minotaur warmth saves the quest!"
"These wolves are gone. That's too bad, their pelts might have made warm blankets for sleeping."
He looks around the way they came, then around. "You know the way, Cuon?"

As the last to emerge from the cramped igloo Tosher stands up a little too early and basically obliterates the structure. He looks at the others, trying to keep a purposeful and stoic look on his face. Aye, it would be good to see what came for them, owner or predator.
May 5, 2016 3:43 am
Cuon looks into the potential for tracks, concerned that any overnight snowfall may have obscured what happened to them. Once he discerns what he can about the missing wolves, he'll try to get his bearings and get some insight into the path forward. "I'm afraid not -- this barren land with everlasting white has confused my sense of direction -- and I was not wise enough to look at the starlight in the night and align it with the orientation of our eeglu. And in this flat light, it's difficult to know where the sun is..."

Both Cuon and Tethys realize that they built the doorway of the igloo away from the direction they were headed as to keep any pursuers from seeing them. You find a paw and part of a leg in the snow. It appears to have been bitten off.
May 11, 2016 9:47 pm
"Something came out here and ate our wolves, it would appear. Must be something we don't want to cross, since it didn't leave tracks but still managed to eat three huge wolves."

"Great, ghost bears!" Vikent hops up and down lightly on the snow to see if the crust holds. "Everybody got everything? Then let's get going before the ghost bears return."
May 11, 2016 10:15 pm
Quickly checking her possessions Kicsi is eager to put some distance between whatever is eating wolves and herself. "I'm ready! All I need is my ride..." she says as she walks over to Tosher.
May 12, 2016 1:26 am
Tosher finishes checking his armor and hoists Kicsi up onto his shoulders. Ya know, not many can say they've ridden Minotaur back before. Mostly because those that have usually did so against their will, he says, tapping on his horns. He lets out a good laugh at this and follows after Vikent.
May 12, 2016 2:02 am
Cuon will bring up the rear, trying to keep an eye out for anything untoward. His bow is in his hands and he is suspicious of this cold and unforgiving land with beats that spew cold and other beasts that walk silently in the night with large appetites. "I have a bad feeling about this place," he notes to no one in particular. "What is our objective again?"
May 12, 2016 2:18 am
"We are to head north to an island and a place called Frost Keep." Vikent scratches his head, squinting his eyes against the bright snow as he steps lightly along the crust. "After that, I ... don't think I was paying attention. I'm sure it will be obvious once we're there!"
May 12, 2016 2:13 pm
"I'm sure they did." Vikent pulls his snow tiger cloak around him. "Oh! Marquesta had it marked on the map. But I didn't look at it too closely."
May 12, 2016 10:32 pm
In the very far distance you hear something, it could be an animal call or some kind of instrument, but it is barely audible.
May 13, 2016 1:04 pm
Cuon pauses, having begun the process of taking out the maps to review them. "I think I did. But it sounds quite faint. So far, the wild beasts of this place have not been friendly. I'm not certain it is a good idea to look for trouble. Unless it's in the way of our objective."
May 13, 2016 1:13 pm
I think you will find nothing in this land is friendly. Towards or away may both be filled with trouble. If we go towards at least we know we can hear the trouble coming.
May 13, 2016 1:20 pm
"Beasts in harsh environments such as this are rarely friendly to those who encroach on their territory. I'd rather avoid disrupting the ecosystem here if we can avoid it. I say we try to avoid it for that reason alone," Tethys says, wrapping his cloak tighter around him to ward off the cold.
May 13, 2016 10:23 pm
"We should at least get a little closer to try and determine the source of the sound" Kicsi says, one hand on each of Tosher's horns. "Might be something that needs help!"
May 13, 2016 11:30 pm
Ahead and to the left is where you hear the noise, and ahead and to the right is the direction towards the island and the keep.
May 14, 2016 5:37 pm
"It would seem that the balance of opinion is to scout ahead towards the sound." Cuon notes. "I can range slightly ahead and see if I can do so without being seen?"
May 14, 2016 5:43 pm
Pulling her wolf skin tight around here Kicsi leaps from Tosher's shoulders. "I'll join you, Cuon. Sneaking is my middle name! Should be able to get close enough without being seen."
May 14, 2016 11:08 pm
Cuon nods, "That is well. News spotted with two sets of eyes has a great chance of getting back to the party."
May 14, 2016 11:31 pm
As the two sneak thieves wander off, Vikent turns to Tethys. "Did you figure out how to use that armor yet? I could Identify it for you."

The sound is quite a ways off, the closer you get, you can tell it's some kind of horn. It blares out several more times while you approach. You can make out very large humanoid figures moving from snow hill to snow hill. There are small holes in the top of the snow hills, and smoke billows from them.
May 16, 2016 1:41 pm
Tosher snorts and chuffs idly, watching the two figures as they get further off. His battleaxe is already gripped tightly in his hand. His hoof paws at the ground anxiously, awaiting a call for battle.
Hearing the idle conversation nearby he adds, It is always best to know every facet of your armor. A warrior's gear must be as known as his own body is to him.

Kicsi will come to a stop when she sees the large figures. Whispering to Cuon, "Well, my curiosity has been satisfied. What you say we head on back to the other?" She looks behind her to see Tosher lumbering towards them from some distance away. What is he doing?
May 17, 2016 12:05 am
Cuon nods. "I am curious if they are friendly or not. I wonder if the horn is one of warning, one of wake-up, or one of assemble to massacre the small party of poorly-dressed southerners who have washed up upon our shores." He turns back with Kicsi. "That said, I've never known anyone to take offense at someone trying to avoid bothering someone else, so perhaps we are best served by focusing on our objective and not these strangers."
May 17, 2016 2:15 am
As Kicsi looks back, Tosher falls face first into the snow and makes a loud noise on the way down, but they are a distance away from the large figures, and they do not seem to take notice.

Intercepting the rest of the party, Cuon shakes his head. "Following your scouts is not a safe practice. Trust in us to do our job." He provides a stern elven countenance to back it up. "We discovered a settlement of large humanoids moving about their business. The noise was a horn of some sort. Kicsi and I both believe we will be better served avoiding them."

As they head away from the mysterious giants, Vikent whispers to Cuon, "Have you learned how to activate whatever it is that your bow does? I have uncovered the secret of learning such things, and I could Identify it for you?"

Cuon shakes his head to Vikent, "No. As of yet the properties of the bow are a mystery to me. If you think you can divine its purpose or capabilities, I would welcome your insight." He unslings the bow and asks, "Is now an appropriate time? Or should we make sure we have a good distance from the residents of this place?"

"I have no pearl, but would happily give you one should I find it." Cuon says. He looks back to the distance to the humanoids.

I figured with the difference between character knowledge and player knowledge, it was fine to ask in a public thread, just like I would have at the gaming table.Darlek's Bow
An exquisitely carved wooden bow that is adorned with gold etched ruins along it's smooth surface. The wood of it has a red tint , the color of blood. The string is made out of a platinum vine that is taught and perfectly smooth. Magic courses through the bow and when used the ruins seem to glow.
The bow was made by a demigod which was the son of Kir'Lin and a wood elf. He lived on Talos and never visited the plane his mother lived on. He made this bow as a gift for a human girl he had fallen in love with. He gave up his immortality to be with this girl, but too late he found it was a trick and that the girl was another demigod named Meridin. She was jealous because Darleck lived a life of love from his mother, whereas her father, the god Terrius, never acknowledged her existence.
When he discovered it was her, he cut his wrists and wiped his blood on the bow, infusing his demigod power on it and that is the blood that tints the bow. With his last breath, he released an arrow at Meridin. It flew straight and true and struck her in the face. The arrow released a vine like non seen before on Talos. It enveloped her and constricted around her head and torso. Meridin struggled to free herself and eventually did tear it from her face, but it stole her beauty and ruined her face. She gazed upon herself in the mirror and was so horrified, she plucked out her eyes and is now exiled herself to the swamps and dark places of the world. Her eyes were still very powerful, but that is another story to be told later.
The bow has 15 charges a day. Each spell removes 1 charge, except the fire arrow, which produces and arrow if needed automatically. The spells are:
Entangle – Grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square starting from a point within range. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain. A creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.
Shocking Arrow – A Lightning springs from your bow to deliver a shock to a creature you try to shoot. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor or made of metal. On a hit,the target takes 2d8 lightning damage, and it can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.
Fire Arrow – You fire an arrow of fire at a target, if hit, it does 1d10 fire damage.
Ice Bolt – You fire an arrow of solid ice at a target, if hit, it does 1d10 ice damage.
May 21, 2016 4:41 pm
Vikent whistles between closed teeth. After the spell, his hands grace the bow reverently. With exagerated reluctance, he slowly hands the weapon back to Cuon.
"This is a remarkable weapon. It was crafted by the demi-god Darleck, and there is a tragic tale associated with it..." Vikent relates the story to Cuon first, and then describes its function.
"Use it well, my friend, the gods will no doubt hold you account later."

Tosher checks his battle axe idly. If we do have to fight again, I will gladly die by your side. You hold your own in combat well. My kind values such strength.

Unfamiliar with the stories that the others are discussing Kicsi glances up at Tosher as he exclaims his readiness to die in combat. "Let's call that plan 'B' there, Tosh."

Tosher hoists Kicsi up onto his shoulders again. I agree. Standing around isn't accomplishing either plan. he starts heading off, veering away from the giant encampment. Man, imagine telling that story. Took down a frost giant, he thinks to himself.
May 24, 2016 12:35 am
As you walker further towards the keep, the snow starts getting thinner and scarce, until the ground has no snow on it at all. Everywhere you look, is blue ice. Almost out of nowhere, you notice things jutting out all over and when you get close, you are astonished. These aren't all ice, you see trees and shrubs coated with a thick layer of blue/ You see a trail leading towards the keep, off the trail it looks like tiny daggers sticking out of the ground, but it is only grass coated in the blue ice.
You were a little caught off guard looking at all the surroundings, when you get to the tower you saw in a distance. It appears to have been a sentry tower at one time, but is in disrepair. There is no door and the backside of it has crumbled, it too is covered in the blue ice.

"This ice is strange.. odd that nothing has befallen the shrubs and trees, frozen as they are..." Cuon looks cautiously about, wary of sentries, even if the tower is in disrepair. "Do legends say who now inhabits Frost Keep?"
May 25, 2016 3:52 am
"Best keep those fire arrows ready." The halfling warrior continues ahead. His eyes climb the tower, wondering. "Think when they left they took everything, or did some stuff get left behind?" He smirks to himself. "I know, they were all playing a game of freeze tag."

Tethys follows the others into the tower, chuckling at their ridiculousness. Perhaps Tosher was a good choice to bring along, he and the halflings had brought a smile to his face as no one had in quite some time. It was a good feeling, almost like being home.

Inside the old guard tower lies the frozen dead bodies of several guards. They lay in a red pool and other than the blue ice covering them, look as if they could have been slain this very day. They still have their armor on, but you see no weapons.
To the side of the entrance is a staircase leading up around the perimeter of the tower. The ceiling is about 18 feet above your head and the stairs disappear behind it. Everything is coated in the blue arctic ice.

The ice road leading deeper into the frozen lands starts flattening out and resembles a mud road, under the blue ice. Through the ice you see thousands of footprints frozen in time, this must be the same path the invading army took.
The surrounding area is spotted with houses, some burnt, some intact, but all covered with the ice. The keep is off in the distance, but looks like it can be reached late evening. The buildings become more numerous, a many of them destroyed. A shoulder high wall is in the distance. It looks as if the road went through a gate and by two small buildings. The once ornate cobblestone wall is destroyed for most of the side, apparently the army came through here.
Passing the wall reveals carnage the likes most have never seen. Bodies lay everywhere, torn in pieces and some have been reduced to pudding. Ice covers the battlefield, the ramparts, siege engines, everything. The keep is on the other side of this charnel pit.

Great warriors?, he asks looking at Vikent. The greater Warriors were the ones who won the fight. You should be praying we don't run into them.

One good factor about the ice, there is no smell. The devastation is wide and you have a long path to cross to get to the keep on the other side.

After the carnage of the battlefield, or slaughter grounds would be a better name, there is a twenty foot area with thick ice. It is so thick, you can't see what lies beneath it and the original entrance to the keep is only half as tall as it should be.
Peering into the courtyard of the keep, the ice narrows and you can see it's source, a doorway leading into the castle. Everything behind the doorway does have ice on it, but it is a very thin layer, mainly turning it a blueish color. The interior of the walls is made of a cobblestone and flagstone mixture. The doorway to the castle is open, but to one side stands a frost giant, but shrunk to the size of a goblin.

Tosher rips his horn out of the creature, letting it slump to the ground, and then brings his battle axe over his shoulder and brings it down with two hands on the creature.

Vikent wipes his blades clean on the creature and resheathes them with a flourish. He claps Tosher on the leg, and saunters over toward the doorway it was guarding.
Jun 14, 2016 7:54 am
We should be wary of what is inside. Whatever curse this creature was under had taken any semblance of life it once had and removed it. It may be able to try the same thing on us, Tosher says as he puts his battle axe away.
Jun 14, 2016 5:27 pm
I'll let you question the next one, Tosher says as he snorts laughter. The idea sounds absurd, how would one even go about figuring out how to uncurse a creature?
Jun 14, 2016 5:32 pm
Tethys barely glances at Slimp's mutilated form, "Are we ready to move on now?"
Jun 15, 2016 12:17 am
After passing the doorway, there is a small hallway that opens up into a once grand great room. The ceiling is two to three stories tall and there are delicate tapestries hanging from the rafters. There are great columns running down the sides of the room. each column has a wooden rod coming from it and there are flags attached to each. On the outside of the columns, along the edges of the room are many banquet tables. This place once held life and festivities, but now everything is frozen in place and time. Ice coats every object and leaves the room motionless and dead. Icicles hang from the ceiling and rafters making daggers of blue ice just waiting to fall.
At the front of the room is an immense ice thrown. Its back reaches almost a story itself. Under the ice it has voluptuous padding and the finest silk. There is a smaller chair next to it that sits empty. You see a figure hunched down in the throne. It sits still and looks like it could almost be an ice sculpture.

I don't know if this thing is much of a threat, Tosher says as he strides down the middle. He still draws his battle axe and shield, just in case.

Tethys follows about 10 feet behind Tosher, ready to lend support if things go wrong.

There are some doors behind the throne past the figure. The figure is still motionless.

I walk up to, and skirt just around, the throne and the figure, keeping a careful eye on it. My grip tightens on my battle axe. My shield is drawn up by my chest anticipating something.

The figure's head is bowed and almost resting on his chest It appears to have it's eyes shut, but it is still unsure if this is an ice sculpture or a being.

Cuon, bringing up the rear, continues to work his way around the figure, taking his cue from the rest of the group.

I don't think it's a person, I say as I creep up towards the thing and reach out and poke it with the end of my battleaxe.

When Tosher pokes the figure, it jerks to life. "Goblins, goblins are attacking! Kill every last one of those evil things!"
He reaches to his side as if to grab a weapon, and stops and looks up and down, left and right and he gets a puzzled look on his face.

"What's that now?" Vikent sticks his head up from wherever he was sneaking. He pads closer to the throne.
Jun 22, 2016 2:01 am
"You goblins wait just a minute, I seem to have misplaced my staff!" The figure remarks.
Jun 22, 2016 2:10 am
"Be patient goblins, I'll thoroughly thrash you momentarily." He murmurs while looking in his robes and up his sleeves.
Jun 22, 2016 2:19 am
"Who's calling who a goblin?" Kicsi blurts as she turns away from the door and creeps to the figure's right, keeping a respectable distance.
Jun 22, 2016 2:23 am
Quiet, I tell Kicsi and Vikent.
You are both goblins, I add.
Who are you?, I ask the figure.

" I am Lord Victor Reinhel, master of this keep, as you know! You goblins have come here to take my family and lands! I shall..." he looks up and truly sees you with his icey gaze for the first time. "You are not goblins, no, not all human either. What ill will do you bring to my prosperous land? Did word make it to the dwarves? Are you the captains of his army? Good, we shall discuss our battle plans then."
He gestures in front of him and a large table rises from the ice. The table is made of ice, and has the keep and several of the small outlying provinces on it. Tiny figures appear around the structures.
"My armies are stationed here and there." As he points, even though the figures look like they are attached, they slide to the areas indicated. "There is the tiny regiment escorting my family to safety. I have no worries for them as the enemy is coming from the south and they are escaping north." Another small group appears at the rear of the castle and start heading north.
"How many men strong are your battalions?" He asks, finally taking a breath.

Jun 28, 2016 1:06 am
"What do you mean? My armies are shown on the map. Who are you and who sent you? Are you here to aide me against the goblins or are you mercenaries working for them?" His eyes glare at you and the room drops another ten degrees.
Jun 28, 2016 1:15 am
"We certainly wouldn't work for goblins" Kicsi blurts before quickly covering her mouth with her hand.
Jun 28, 2016 2:33 am
"My Lord? Why do you linger?" Vikent sheathes his blades, concern wreathing his eyes. He kneels before the throne.
"They are all dead, m'lord. Long ago. Your family spirited away, but I know not where. Why do you yet linger?"
Edit: I guess that's faux-compassion, heh.

"Of course I'm human. Is your friend a little daft?" he whispers towards Vikent, "You are mistaken my good man, my family left mere moments ago through that doorway."
He points behind him and a portal opens up and glimmers. Looking into the portal, you see everything you did a moment ago, but it has no ice. It is all stone and the tapestries flow. The sun is shining in through the window openings and you hear muffled voices and shuffling feet.

Can you not see your own hands? The table of ice before you? Your palace...it's frozen from the top down, I try to convince the man of what is obvious.
Jun 29, 2016 1:29 pm
"I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but that was many years ago now. Your family is gone and your castle is in ruins, and frozen to boot."
Jun 30, 2016 12:53 am
He looks confused for a moment, "I think it is you that is mistaken. Look around, we are under siege, but nothing is frozen."
He gestures around with his arm, and the glimmer portal widens and encompasses the whole room. The room looks alive with color and movement. The figure is completely human and is a gigantic man. You notice people walking around now that weren't there a moment ago.
"Now, are you here to help me or just waste my time?" he says as a young squire runs forward from somewhere behind you.
"My lord, your family has departed and will be heading to the caves and safety. I'll catch up and race back when they are safe!"

Tethys leans back to whisper to Vikent, "I'm not sure what's happening, but I think it best that we play along."
He turns back to the large man and drops to a kneel, "You are quite right, sir, I seem to have been imagining things... perhaps a cruel illusion from our enemies?" he gives that a moment to sink in before continuing, "What can we do to help?"

As the vision wraps around I raise my shield and axe up again instinctively. What sorcery is this?
I spin around trying to get my bearings in this place. We seem to be in two different times, or places?

"Well, since my family is safe, I'll need your help on the front lines. The enemy will be here in less than a day's time." he replies.
Jul 4, 2016 7:31 pm
"Perhaps we could ensure both the safety of your family and of the messenger back?" Cuon offers. "Surely your armies will not be bolstered by a mere 6 warriors, though powerful we may be. However a smaller party focused on protection will have an undue benefit from such as we are."
Jul 4, 2016 10:16 pm
Vikent looks about, and then points at Kicsi. "Do we look like front line material?" He chuckles. "You've heard your scouts, analyzed the disposition of your foe's forces. Tell me, great lord, if something were to go wrong, where fi you think that would occur? Send us there, to shore up that gap."

Fiddling with the ears of her wolf skin cover Kicsi doesn't even catch that Vikent was pointing in her direction.

"The goblin army is the enemy of course. I will be honest, I am not sure if my army here can withstand their attacks, but I must give my family time to escape. I hope the approaching army is weakened along the way and we can defeat them. If you have no battalions, then escort duty is a good idea." he says with a saddened look.
Jul 6, 2016 2:49 am
Escort duty?! Tosher rages and slams his battle axe into the table with the map on it, digging it deep into the wood/ice. I would rather meet death on the front line than run like a coward! Show me where to go, I say with a deadly seriousness.
Jul 6, 2016 2:51 am
"Don't forget, Tosh, we're here to do a job. Can't do that job when you're all dead and frozen."
Jul 6, 2016 4:32 am
"Indeed. And you might recall our history lesson about some escort duties that went awry in the past..."
Jul 6, 2016 10:57 am
Tosher looks slightly abashed at the words of the others. His puffed out chest and flaring nostrils quickly calm as he visibly deflates a bit. Ah, well...right. Duty first. He pulls on the handle of his axe but in his rage he seemed to dig the weapon deeper than he though and has to give a few solid tugs and put a hoof on the side of the table to wedge the weapon free.
Sometimes the call of battle...it gets to me, he says as he sheathes the weapon.

"The squire just left through that door to the north. Gods speed and may they protect you. I look forward to getting to know you valiant warriors if we meet again." The lord says with a bow.

Tethys bows deeply to the lord, "As you say, my Lord," he says and heads over to see the squire.

The squire is readying himself and packing a few bags. The castle is warm and looks new. A warm summer breeze wisps in from the open door that leads outside. The young squire looks your direction and says, "We best be off if we are to catch them. They make good time."
Jul 7, 2016 1:10 pm
Uh, yeah, let's get going then, I say, eyeing the squire like someone looking at a ghost. I end up getting my face uncomfortably close to the squire, looking to see if I can understand what sort of magic is at work here.

The squire does not seem to be hexed or an illusion, he seems flesh and blood real. As Tosher looks back into the room they came from, the last bit of the frozen castle disappears and all you see is a warm, bustling place. In all forms, Tosher thinks you are indeed back in time.
Jul 8, 2016 1:14 am
"It's okay ma'am, my cows do the same thing at feeding time, they love me very much." he responds, "Um, no offense meant sir."
Jul 8, 2016 2:31 pm
Still a little perturbed by this strange sort of time travel magic I straighten up and don't say anything to the squire for a moment, I then look back at him again, Did you say there was food?
Jul 8, 2016 2:53 pm
Vikent looks about. He pulls Kicsi and Tethys, Tosher and Cuon, away from the squire and the others and whispers. "Any chance we are getting back? We have a task at hand, and we may have just left the world that task is in. High Justice Zalsibar sent us to retrieve items of great power to stop a great evil. Unless our goal was to travel into a mad god's dream." He nods sagely. "That could be. Where else would you hide your best booty."
Jul 8, 2016 10:32 pm
"It appears that our travels have led us down this path. Probably in our best interest just to follow through with it" Kicsi responds before silently reflecting on the situation a moment before adding, "It's not like we have much of a choice, is it?"
Starting to get uncomfortably warm in her wolf skin, Kicsi removes it, crumples it into a large ball, and shoves it in her pack.

"I suspect we must play this out -- perhaps it will take us to the time and place of the items we seek?"

Vikent grabs some food as well, tucking it into his pouch while nibbling on a loaf. He gestures for someone to lead the way.

The squire motions to the smallest warhorse there. "I am sorry, we have nothing smaller, but the two of you can ride her, she handles great and will listen to every command. She is my favorite horse."

Cuon removes some furs from his back, packaging them carefully as part of his pack rather than wearing them. If the sun is true and warm, then he has no need of the extra clothing. He finds a horse that suits and ensures that everything is prepped, asking the halflings, "Do either of you need or want any help up?"
Jul 17, 2016 3:25 pm
Vikent swings his eyes at Cuon. He takes off his tiger fur cloak, and plops it onto the horse back for comfort. He then tosses (helps) Kicsi up, before springing up behind her himself.

"Then north we ride." The squire takes off at a gallop.
The country side looks much different than the ice wasteland you walked through. The fields are lush and green, crops are getting closer to harvest. The farmers are heading towards the keep with rakes, hoes and scythes in hand to protect their lands and lives. Off to the Northwest you see smoke billowing from something and notice to the northeast is the same. It appears that war has come from all shores, unknown to the lord.

As the smoke starts clearing a little, you hear departing steps to all directions, possibly an echo from within the smoke. You hear a few clangs of sword on sword, but it is slow, not like battle. As you break through the smoke, you see a grizzly scene. Soldiers bodies are hewn about in bloody heaps. In the center of the massacre you see a lone soldier standing in front of a wagon that is closed. At his feet lays a woman's headless body, the head no where in sight. She is dressed in fine silk, now stained with her own blood. Surrounding the soldier is 8 goblins all poking at him with swords and pikes, he is barely able to fend off their mocking blows.

The last goblins falls to the ground and there is an eerie stillness to the area. The only sound is the heavy breathing from the exertion of battle. A acidic smelling smoke fills the air that burns both nostrils and eyes. The soldier that had been fighting no longer pulls breath, he used the last of himself in his last swing.
The headless woman's body twitches a little, but makes no noise. There seems to be a light blue glow emanating from it. The blood has ceased flowing from her neck. Behind her and the soldier is an enclosed wagon that has crates and baggage attached to it. The slain horses lay in the reins in front of it. The side door is closed.

Oct 18, 2016 8:37 pm
Tethys takes the lead and hails the guards, "Good sirs, we are here to deliver the lord's children to safety."
Oct 18, 2016 8:45 pm
The guards tense up and look suspiciously at you, "What's this then, where is the lady of the keep?"
Oct 18, 2016 8:51 pm
"It may be best for me to start from the beginning... The lord of the keep sent us out late, as additional protection for the caravan. By the time we caught up, they were beset by goblins. The guards and lady perished in the struggle, but we found little William and Alexandria hiding in the back. Once we were sure they weren't injured, we hastened on our way here," Tethys tells the story, "I'm sure that they can both confirm my tale if you wish to ask them yourselves."
Oct 22, 2016 11:32 pm
The guards eyes glow blue, "Hurry inside, there isn't much time!"
The breeze picks up and the air has a frigid snap to it.

Understanding that there isn't much time, Vikent hurries the children and himself inside.
Oct 25, 2016 12:39 am
The guard with the glowing eyes turns and as he closes the great gates says, "Gods speed heroes, melt his heart."
A single tear drops from the guards eye and falls to the ground. As it hits, it rolls, looking to be solidified laying on the ground. The doors shut with a deafening boom and start to crystallize with ice.

I don't like this place, Tosher says, his breath hanging in the air with the cold. Did the rest of you see his tear? It froze before it hit the ground.

Kicsi opens her pack and pulls out her rolled up wolf skin. She puts it on and pull the hood up over her head.
Oct 26, 2016 1:28 am
Vikent pulls his cloak against his shoulders and winks at the young boy.
I heard a story about a place this cold once. There were these three trappers in a frozen land, and one time while they were at their local tavern, they got to talking about how cold it was outside, and how cold their cabins were. They could agree on everything but whose cabin was the coldest, so they decided to determine who, indeed, had the coldest cabin.
They went to the first trapper's cabin, where he said "Watch this!" and poured a cup of water into the air. Well, the water froze in mid-air and fell onto the floor.
"Not bad" said the other trappers, but each maintained their cabin was colder still.
So they went to the second trapper's cabin, and he said "Watch this!" and took a big breath and exhaled, whereupon his breath froze into a big lump and fell to the floor.
"Wow, that's colder than mine! "said the first trapper. But the third trapper exclaimed his was colder still. So they ended up at the third trapper's cabin. He said "Watch this!" and went into the bedroom, threw back the thick furs, and retrieved one of several small balls of ice there. He took it, put it in a spoon, and held a match under it. When it heated up enough, it went "FFFAAAARRRRTTT".
He won.

"Well.. Do we pursue deeper in the cave? Perhaps some friendly dwarves are about?"

Vikent follows the other halfling. "Not what I expected, guards outside, further mysteries within."
Oct 27, 2016 10:58 pm
The girl picks up the tear and puts it in her shirt pocket.
Frost is quickly spreading out from the doorway and creeping along the walls.
Kicsi darts ahead and looks the walls and corridor up and down. The walls are carved from solid granite, it took a long time to make this cave. The walls have sconces on them and are burning some kind of pitch, lighting the way. There is only one path leading deeper into the mountain.

Tosher stomps ahead with his axe drawn ready for what can await them.

After a long walk, heading down and deeper into the mountains, a stone door comes into view. The door has runes all over it and has a slight glow to it.
Nov 4, 2016 4:03 pm
Vikent eyes the door critically for a moment. "My extensive arcane training tells me that this door has a magical effect on it," he says proudly.
Nov 4, 2016 4:14 pm
The hairs on the back of my neck are telling me that you should go touch it, he says to Vikent, I'll wait here.
Nov 4, 2016 4:22 pm
"Yes, see what you can make of it," Tethys urges his companion, "I'll stay here and watch over the children."
Nov 4, 2016 9:12 pm
Cuon smiles and shakes his head. "I'll take a look. I know some things about magic, though not as much as others.." He approaches the door carefully -- staying about five feet away testing to see if the glow provides any warmth or if it's constrained to the runes or if it's generally a glowing door of glowing.

Cuon steps back. "I don't think this will hurt us any -- and it'd be a good idea to get ahead of that freezing wave of whatever it is." That said, he doesn't seem eager to be the one leading the way.

With the ever so slight reassurance that it won't kill him, Tosher steps forward and attempts to push the door open.
Nov 7, 2016 10:58 pm
The door pushes hard, but it opens. The runes glow bright for a second, then dim a little. Wall sconces burst into flam inside the door and the room lights up. The room looks like a sitting room right out of the castle. There are several plush chairs and benches. There are three doors leading out from the room. One right, one left, and one ahead.
Nov 8, 2016 12:34 am
Cuon shooes everyone in and then will shut the doors behind him unless someone raises a fush that he should not.

"Wait here, children," Tethys says, opening the door to their parents' chamber.
Nov 15, 2016 12:44 am
The door opns and reveals a lavishly decorated bedroom. No expense was spared here, but it does just look like a bedroom.
Nov 15, 2016 12:52 am
"Back in the castle, there is one behind the dresser in our parents room." The girl replies with a smile.
Nov 15, 2016 12:53 am
Shrugging, Tethys calls to Tosher, "Hey, you wanna help me move this?" he asks, directing the large minotaur to the dresser.

Tosher comes over and helps move the huge wooden dresser, behind it is an opening and it glows with a faint blue hew to it.

"Some sort of portal, maybe?" Kicsi says to the others as she turns and shrugs before searching her robes for a coin. Fetching a copper piece from her pocket she tosses it into the portal, just to see what happens.

Cuon arches a single eyebrow, readying his bow just in case something comes back out. He also steps to the side in case something flings the coin back out.

Tethys waits to see what happens, ready to protect the children at the first sign of danger.

The coin flips end over end into the portal and as soon as it breaks the plane, it disappears.

"It would bounce back and magically double your money?"
Vikent turns to the others. "Let's pause for a second. I'm confused at what we're supposed to be doing. We brought the kids here, but that's not why we traveled to this frozen land."

The boys words snap Tethys out of his daze, "Tie a rope around me and I'll go through."

Cuon fetches a rope, as instructed, and ties it around Tethys' waist. He hands one end to the minotaur, figuring that if he can't yank Tethys back, then no one is likely to be able to do that.

Tethys disappears through the portal. The rope stops moving, but stays tight.

As Tosher is about to enter the portal, the cold blast from behind catches up and hits him full force. He is frozen in place, a statue of ice. Kicsi sees this just as she pops into the portal. Her cloak has heavy frost on the tips.

As the others pop through the wall, they see Tethys nodding and speaking to the children, "I see, spirits are powerful indeed. I understand now, thank you."

Lord Reinhel looks up and sees his children and an actual tear rolls out of his eye and down his cheek. As it travels, you see color coming back to his skin. The ice quickly recedes from his face and skin and his looks completely normal. He appears to have not aged in the centuries since the tragedy. The transformation stops at his boots though, everything around stays frozen and frigid.
"My precious little babies." He says in a low tone.
He gathers his children up in his arms and holds them tight. After what seems like a long time, he says, "I owe you everything. I have torn the land asunder and I haven't the power to fix it all, but all that is mine is yours."
He waves his hand and the castle's thick ice covering starts to melt away. The bodies of the dead seem to evaporate, but a few that were caught mid task actual start to slowly move and take breath.

You leave the castle and feel a warmth coming from the walls itself, but the breeze still has a chill to it. The castle and courtyard are thawed out and you see a few people milling about in a state of confusion. You see a dead goblin chained to the doorway as you walk passed. Beyond the damaged wall you see the landscape has become unfrozen for about 500 yards around the castle, but the ice is still on the borders.

"The sooner the better. I've had enough of the ice for a while" she says softly as the loss of Tosher still weighs heavily on her.

Vikent's curious fingers trace ovals on the hilt of Dalamar's Ice Sword. "What ho!" he calls out to the runner.
Feb 1, 2017 1:44 am
The man you see running up to you appears out of breath, nearly stumbling and falling as he makes his way to you.
"'Ello there. I'm Aramil Liadon, at your humble service of course."

"Well met, friend Aramil Liadon! I am Vikent, you have no doubt heard of me. Here we have Kicsi, Tosher, Tehtys, and Cuon." He flourishes a performer's bow.
He looks sideways at the man. "Say, you're not a friendly archmage or interventionist diety, are you?"

Vikent reaches up and "shakes" his hand. "Oh, sorry, Tosher isn't with us any longer. What brings you to this somewhat less frozen hell hole?"
Feb 3, 2017 4:43 pm
"Aye. That it was. But at least we survived." A young elf soon races out towards Aramil. He is dressed in a brown tunic with brown pants, wearing a gray fur cloak.soon runs out next to him, unsure of what happened.

Aramil and his spouse Theren talk it over a bit, and the two soon turn to face you. "I've agreed to help you all out while Theren stays behind helping the lord. Or if you want, we could both travel with you. Your call really."
Feb 6, 2017 1:54 pm
"Someone needs to stay behind to assist the lord with fixing this place up," Tethys reasons.

Aramil and Theren talk amongst themselves quietly. They turn to you and Theren says, "I'll stay behind and help the Lord out. Aramil will travel with you." The two embrace for a moment.

The wind seems to have a little more chill to it. The ship is almost a days journey away, the fires from the giants area is almost gone and you see no movement there.

"Onward then?" Kicsi asks, eager to get back to the ship and away from all of the ice.
Feb 7, 2017 2:08 am
You see a raised area of snow after walking a while and realize it was the place you slept the first time in. Kicsi thinks of how much room there'd be in there without Tosher.

Cuon looks at the dim, cloudy sky. "Do you think we should stay here another night? Or do you believe we can make it to our ship before nightfall? I wouldn't want to be caught out in the weather unprepared."

Vikent bounces from spot to spot and you can noticeably hear a small pop every time he does, but the ice seems to be holding. Off in the distance, your ship starts to come into view.

As the ship comes closer in view, you see the ice is completely shattered and broken around in and leading up to it.

Cuon sighs. "Perhaps they can send us a dinghy?" He looks to see if anyone on the ship is paying attention and perhaps might see them.

It appears there are already lowering a small boat into the icy water. It appears they saw you a lot farther off than you thought possible.

Yes, as long as the waters aren't too rough. As the ice started melting, a giant sea creature attacked the boat. It appear we anchored off of it's frozen head or something. The mage saved us." He replies.

The ship creaks and groans, but makes a full turn. You see a huge form just belowe the surface, floating motionless.

The wind feels warmer than the last time you were in this area and the sun feels great on your skin. The dock is old and shakes, but appears to still be able o be used. The crew leaves the ship and set up a camp on the shores and in some of the old abandoned buildings. They start scavenging wood, pegs and other items to repair the ship.
"We have things under control here, you can rest, explore, go to the woods or head into Tersa if you'd like." The captain states.

These are the same woods you entered before, just the northern tip, it would take a long time to get back to the glad though.
The woods seem not quite at peace as the woods you entered by the glade. The sounds from inside are more ominous and a little on the testy side. seems like most of the inhabitants don't sound too friendly. You can see a cobblestone path leading into the woods, but it is overgrown and looks like it has not been used in a long time. A sign hangs by the road side, but is faded and worn.

The woods grow darker the further in you get. The path gets harder and harder to follow as the forest reclaims it. The path ends in an ancient tree easily the size of three of the ships you sailed on. in the middle of the trunk is an archway leading to a very dark opening.

"Uh... I am called Kicsi, Kicsi Leszúr" she responds, slowly rising to a standing position. A little embarrassed by both her reaction and that she was detected at all she stands awkwardly for a moment before slightly bowing to the tree.

We are the glade of the Wood Bender Elves of course. There has been no need of us since the first god war, and thus, we have slept and had no visitors. The arch only opens when the world is in dire need of our help. Is a great war once again on us?" He replies.

Cuon frowns, "That is a nuanced question, I think. Or rather, perhaps a nuanced answer. We are not beholden to gods -- and thus our effort is to ensure balance in the world."
Jun 18, 2017 11:18 pm
"Balance you say?" and huge deep noise emits from the ancient tree, and after a moment you realize it is laughter. "Balance is never balanced. It is a fulcrum for the ever changing world to hover back and forth on. Think of it like a child's teeter totter, on one end is the force of good, the other side is the force of evil. In the center lies a point that the line balances on. At any given moment, evil or good is stronger than it's counterpart, but if the line stays still and neither is in control, the line fills with good, evil and neither one and everything is combined creating all evil and all good things. It would be chaos not balance."
Jun 22, 2017 5:01 am
Cuon remarks, "I had not thought to get into a theological debate with... well, a tree. I do not agree with your assessment. Is the blade of grass evil? Is it good? It is neither - it is a blade of grass in balance with the air and the soil and the rain. Is the deer evil? Is it good? It is neither. Balance is harmony, not chaos."
Jun 22, 2017 11:53 am
Tethys nods his agreement with Cuon's argument. If balance is not worth striving for, then what has been the purpose of his existence, either as a druid or as part of the Crimson Crusade?
Jun 23, 2017 2:30 am
Vikent leans against a wall, leaving the debate to those who have inclinations to think things through.
Jun 23, 2017 10:34 pm
"When the rain doesn't come, will the grass not try and overtake it's fellow blades? Will it not try and kill the weeds so it can have all the nutrients and moisture? If there is only enough food for one deer, will it not try and run off or fight with other deer to get the food? All balance is one variable away from chaos and do you not feel it in the world now? By removing certain variables, you don't ensure balance, you take away the governing factors, creating chaos. What once held said variables, gods, in awe, is left godless, they turn to their own means to rule and try and make order. When good and evil are removed, neutrality has nothing to measure it's self against and becomes unbalanced." The tree says after a long pondering.
Jun 30, 2017 4:15 am
"Survival is not chaos. When the rain comes again, the water and nutrients are shared and there is more grass. Balance means that the world is as the world should be. If it cannot support the many deer it has, they are diminished -- and so too are the wolves that feed on them. Thus does the world return to a state where more deer can be supported, and thus more wolves. The cycle is not chaos, it is balance."
Cuon's a little out of his depth here and he looks at the Druid for some help.

"Clearly there is a difference of perspective here. What we see as balance, you see as chaos. Such is the way of the reasoning races. So long as you do not impede our task, you are free to think what you will," Tethys says with a shrug, unwilling to argue philosophy with a tree, who will have infinitely more patience than himself.

"We are- were ship builders. The elves here can grow ships from the living wood and they will repair and fix themselves as long as the heartwood stays true. We have slept a many years and no one has called upon us. Do you need passage somewhere?"

"I think you are destined for a meeting, perhaps the beginning of a war, or is it a way to stop war. We don't hear everything, only bits and pieces. A smaller ship will do for your party."
The great tree sweeps one of it's branches and a river burst into view, illuminated by some unknown source. On the shore of the river is a ship that appears to be made of living tree saplings intertwined together.
"Her name is Willow, she has never left the glade, a bit young too in my opinion. She knows where to take you. Treat her like one of your own and she'll be a friend to the end."

Vikent stares wide-eyed at the new ship. "You honour us over much, great one. We will treat her with love and respect."
Jul 28, 2017 1:52 am
Tethys' jaw drops as he see the boat, "This is truly amazing... We cannot express how grateful we are."

Coming out of hiding, Kicsi gives a respectful bow to the ancient one.
"We will treat her as family."

"I hope we may rest and not be called for war for a very long time. Try and help this, war is never good for anyone."" The old tree croaks as he starts to straighten out his limbs.
Aug 8, 2017 9:28 pm
Vikent starts to laugh maniacally, "You fools! My brothers perished, but never the less I lived on and you never guessed I wasn't me. I killed Vikent and took his place a long time ago! I even tripped Tosher so he'd be frozen! My kind will use this sword and destroy all that--"
The giant tree brings down his hand cutting of Vikent's dialog, instantly smashing him. As it pulls it's branch-hand back, you see a sword laying in the earth.

OOC:
Dalamar's Ice Sword acts as a +4 two handed sword, but can be split down the center making 2 separate +2 swords. It deals 1 d12 damage in two handed form and 1 d8 in 1 handed form. The sword also gives a +2 dexterity bonus when in possession, does not need to be the weapon used in hand for this bonus. Once per day the sword can cast Cone of Cold as a 5th level spell. Note: greatsword does not have the Heavy trait; 2-swords are Light.Aug 11, 2017 2:43 am

Aug 31, 2017 10:02 pm
The ship starts to rock a little and almost feels like a shiver running through it. The wood is smooth and instead of chairs or benches, leaves are arrange around for seating. The sails open up and they are made of beautiful silver leaves, that flip and turn in the breeze almost looking like waves on the ocean. Instead of doors, branches cover several ports leading down inside of the ship. There is no wheel or helm, but several places to sit on a deck that is raised and towards the front.
Sep 1, 2017 3:38 am
Cuon is an elf of the plains -- or has been for years. He's a little suspicious of things like boats and magic trees -- and boats given by magic trees. Nonetheless, he follows the others aboard to find a comfortable spot to sit and cautiously eye whatever progress may yet be made.
Sep 1, 2017 12:39 pm
Tethys moves to take a seat at the front of the boat and takes a moment to relax and enjoy the trip
Sep 1, 2017 5:56 pm
Slowly pacing back and forth along the port side of the port, Kicsi keeps watch out over the sea, looking for anything that might be of interest.
Oct 6, 2017 11:10 pm
After a couple days sailing, the skies turn black and impending storms roll in. A shadow on the waves has been seen and is staying just out of good eyesight, but moves with an eerie quickness.
Oct 10, 2017 2:10 pm
Tethys watches the shadow carefully from his seat and tries to think of what it might be.

It appears to be another ship and it is darting through the waves and circling your ship.
Oct 12, 2017 6:55 pm
Lightning strikes several times and after an extra bright strike, the ship is much closer. It's flag is tattered and ragged, the wood looks to be covered in barnacles and has several cracks. Shapes can be seen moving around the deck.
Oct 13, 2017 3:01 am
"I'm suspicious..." Cuon offers. He readies his bow, considering whether or not the use of a fire arrow would be wise.
Oct 15, 2017 11:02 pm
Ducking down behind the railing, Kicsi does her best to stay out of sight, while keeping an eye on the mysterious vessel.
Oct 17, 2017 12:08 am
The ship appears almost next to yours, and you see it's crew. About half a dozen skeletons are brandishing weapons as it comes closer.
Oct 17, 2017 2:02 am
Cuon suggests, "That looks like a bad sign. However they are too close -- and fire threatens us as well..." That said, he prepares his bow and plans to send an ice bolt into the pack of skeletons, hoping that the blunt trauma of the ice will cause additional harm.
Oct 17, 2017 2:11 pm
Tethys sighs, "Dammit! Can't just have a relaxing trip, can we?" he says as he prepares for combat.

You land on the northwest corner just where some trees meet an open plains. Animal life is abundant here, but sprints off when it sees you. The woods are green and vibrant and you get a feel of peace and harmony from them. The plains look devoid of structures, but you can see a central woods off in the long distance, only by using you glassing scopes. It is ard to make out details though.

You see a tower rise up from the woods in the center of the island, it is ruined and crumbling, but you have a sense this is where you need to go.

Tethys points out the tower to the others, "That seems like a good place to start looking," he says, beginning to lead the way there if the rest of them agree.

"Not the most hospital of locations" Kicsi laments, gathering her gear and falling in line behind Tethys.

You reach the edge of the woods without problems. The woods are dark and most of the trunks are covered in thick webs. No life stirs inside of the wooded area, that you can see. The sun is starting to set and it will be dark before long.

You see a light far off on the edge of the woods. It is small, but stands out in this open country. You don't think you could make it there tonight. It might be a fire.
Feb 24, 2018 5:33 pm
"Let's keep a good watch tonight," Tethys says, "We may not be alone on this island."
Feb 24, 2018 7:21 pm
You sleep through the nigh without disturbance. The day is yours to conquer, what do you do?
Mar 1, 2018 1:15 am
You see nothing in the woods, no paths, no animals, no insects even. The plant life is scarce, save for the trees. You can keep your bearing to head to the center though, if you so choose.

Tethys isn't at all bothered by the lack of trails, leading the group toward the center of the forest.

This is creepy
Kicsi follows along, trying her best to stay hidden.

You travel along and a huge metallic bong noise is heard and felt. It feels like the whole island shook, but you see nothing.
Mar 6, 2018 11:46 pm
The noise came from the center where the tower ruin is located. You hear voices far off in the woods.

"Be cautious from here," Tethys says quietly, "At least until we know what that was."
With that, he continues leading the way.

Staying close on Tethy's heels, Kicsi tries to move as quietly as possible.

You get to the edge of the tree line and a big opening is just ahead. Ther was once a grand temple here, but that was many years ago. The once pure and white blocks are now yellow and cream with age. Most of the buildings have crumbled and lay in ruin.

Tethys leads the way into the clearing cautiously, watching out for any danger to appear.

You see the grass was trampled under foot of a party of people not too long ago, it is leading around the ruined tower.

"Might be company" Kicsi says softly, pointing to the ground. She pauses for a moment and closes her eyes, concentrating her energy.
"This ought to help..."
A veil of shadows and silence radiates from you, masking you and your companions from detection. For the duration, each creature you choose within 30 feet of you (including you) has a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks and can't be tracked except by magical means. A creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or other traces of its passage.

Tethys nods his appreciation before continuing on.

You see a man in white flowing robes over chainmail come walking out from some of the rubble. He has not seen you yet.

Kicsi will do her best to stay hidden, simply watching the stranger.

The stranger sems to be looking away from you and jumps in surprise and pulls his sword.

You see a half orc step out from the tree line:
He raises his arms before calling out to the others you see, "Hey, Not looking for a fight here. I am going to approach. I am armed but am not interested in proving that ai know how to kill."

Might be a good time to head to and join Thrice the Adventure, this will be for all attacks, talking between the groups and rolls pertaining to the meeting and anything all groups should know. You can still chat in here and talk among yourselves for when the other parties aren't to hear it, unless they overhear you.
