Kaarik will turn his attention to the woman and ignores the butterfly.
OOC:
I am kind of hopping to create some confusion here.
"My Dear Lady, please excuse my friend. I am here to serve you.
However, I am afraid to be a little confused, do you want us to leave or to talk to you?"
Jan 16, 2025 10:40 pm
OOC:
OK, that was a little longer than a few minutes.
After Kaarik's query, she looks confused for a moment. But, right then you all hear a noise and involuntarily turn around to see three more people enter through the rift.

Original three: You see three people entering the area. They are a dwarf (whom Kaarik recognizes as Blornvid), a female duende, and an elf.

Newcomers: You enter an area that looks quite ... odd. The area is like a lurid version of reality, with brightly colored plants that are the wrong color, but still vibrant and vibrating with life. But, before you can really take in your surroundings, you see what looks like kind of a stand-off. Closest to you, but facing away, you see an avian, an elf who was just talking, and a badgerkin. Facing you is a young woman who has an aggressive stance and green eyes, with a butterfly of very unusual size sitting next to her. The woman is wearing a very nice dress, but it is disheveled and dirty from being out and about for longer than it was designed to be worn. Her features are also smirched with some dirt. Van recognizes her as one of his fellow refugees who has always been known as a bit of a loner.

The sudden arrival of new interlopers snaps her back. "More invaders!? If you will not leave my realm, I will throw you out!" she stands fully upright to face you. As she does, the butterfly lifts into the air and you see three more appear out from the foliage surrounding the young woman. However, despite all of this, she does not make an attack. Yet.

OOC:
This will be fun! Considering that Van recognise her... What is her name? We're they close friends ?

Upon recognizing Kaarik, Blornvid says, "Kaarik, good to see you, lad. We just got back from the mountains up north. Magian saw this rift from up above and asked if we could check it out. I take it that this lass and her butterflies are the source?"
Jan 17, 2025 7:44 pm
Kaarik's face lit up as he sees Blornvid. "Blornvid, my friend! It is good to see you!
Yes, the source of the magic seems to be coming from them. I am concerned for the woman's safety and so far we have not been able to calm her down."

OOC:
@Cathamber, they we not close friends; merely acquaintances as fellow refugees. She is a very late teen who has no direct family as they were all lost. She is a bit of a loner and wasn't too social. She was known for wandering off now and then after moving to the Manor. Her name is, uh, ah, ... she goes by Kaleen.

Aizashi looks at the newcomers approaching but keeps most of attention on the girl and her butterflies.
Jan 18, 2025 5:07 pm
Elyse slides behind Blornvid keeping a warry eye on the arguing parties in case things escalate.
Jan 18, 2025 5:33 pm
The first butterfly's wings start pulsing a bit, causing Kaleen to gain a glowing aura and her eyes to truly glow. "Leave my domain or be removed!" As she says this, the first butterfly's wings start moves to about a foot above her head, and the other three spread out in a semi circular pattern, facing you.
OOC:
At this point you can attack or attempt more parley. All up to you ...
Jan 18, 2025 7:32 pm
To Kaleen: "Just a minute, Miss. We're tryin' to get things sorted out."

To Karrik: "This here is Elyse," introducing the duende woman. "She knows a thing or two about magic. Not the grand wizard level of our good friend Skeeve, but she can handle her own."

He turns to Elyse. "Can you make sense of this girl and her butterflies, lass?"
Jan 19, 2025 1:48 pm
Sensing the situation is arising from Kaleen discovering access to arcane powers, Elyse Steps to the side of Blornvid and says: Kaleen, we are just as confused as you are as to why we are in your domain. My magic is new to me still and what the mage says can be true about how powers can overwhelm or even hurt us, take a deep breath, we will give you space and lets learn about this magic about you. It may even be that magic that allowed us to enter your domain...

Sylvandur checks what's going on, and among people he doesn't know, he recognises Kaleen as fellow refugees from the manor. Both Kaleen and Van were loners, and as such, he thought of her as someone with whom he could develop a strong friendship, even if it would grow slowly.
He approaches the girl with confidence and huge happiness to see a known face "Hello Kaleen! how nice to see you again! Hey you don't need to shout like that, I'll help you! what's going on? And who are our winged friends?" He approaches her unarmed, with his usual friendly demeanor.

Of course Fur, his ferret companion, is already running around free. If she reacts somehow to either Kaleen or the butterflies, Van should notice it.
Jan 19, 2025 7:21 pm
Elyse and Van's words seem to have some effect on the Kaleen and she hesitates, seemingly unsure of what to do. Suddenly she clutches her head and screams, then falls to the ground limp. You all then hear a voice in your head that says, Curse you for your interference!

The next thing you know, the four butterflies let loose with magical bolts! Arc, Elyse, Kaarik, and Van are the targets.
OOC:
To attack the butterflies, you will Attack at Disadvantage. You can use ranged attacks with no other difficulty, but to use a melee attack, you have to spend a Move Action each round to be able to make an attack. (They are constantly moving a fluttering. You will always be able to get a melee attack, but you have to chase them down a bit to do so.)
OK, lesse what happens:
Arc takes one HP damage.
Kaarik takes three(!) HP damage.
Van takes two HP damage.
Elyse gets away unharmed.

"Damn bugs." With all of their fluttering about, Blornvid is forced to focus on the butterflies before firing his crossbow.

If that's not allowed in this situation, then please ignore.

Van is taken by surprise!
But as soon as he sees a fellow elf get shot, he jumps to help.
OOC:
As Combat Medic, he moves without using an action.
Then uses Healer trait: it cures for 2 HP each try.

Edit:
As the first attempt was successful, he uses his 2nd action to cure himself.
Edit2: Sorry for the typos, I'm not sure how to read that, so I'm rolling again.
Van is glad he could help. Kaarik recovers 2 HP so he is only 1 down, and Van is back to full health. Only the avian is left without cure, but -1 is not that bad.

Still waiting on Kaarik and Aizashi before I finish the round and move to the next one.

For Van, well ignore the screwed up roll and let him use the roll that makes him look absolutely fabulous!

OOC:
Of course Van is amazing! This future ArchDruid is already a great combat healer.

This must be some new form of polymorph or shape changing ability! Does it make Sylvandur get those oversized cat eyes and be covered in fur?
That is such a totally awesome typo!
