Part 1: The Return of the Blazing Meteor

The sun beats down upon a winding, dirt road that connects the bustling metropolis of Stonefast to the quaint, sleepy town of Slew. A gentle breeze carries the sweet scent of wildflowers.

As you journey along this idyllic path, describe your character.

What do they look like? What are they wearing?
How do they carry themselves?

Part 1: The Return of the Blazing Meteor

Amongst the group, though noticeably not as physically close to the others (perhaps a newer member), is a hobgoblin. He wears dark blue robes, his exposed hands and head are red, and his hair goes down to his shoulders before he stops. At his waist is a rapier on his left and a wand in his right. He carries his backpack like it is nothing, not because he seems strong, but like he has carried much heavier many times before. He looks gruff with an slight scowl as a default facial expression. He seems concerned with his surroundings and doesn't appear to talk much unless talked to by someone else first.

Part 1: The Return of the Blazing Meteor

Chakan is taller than the average human, but probably considered quite short for an orc due to his half-orc heritage. He is wearing the traditional dark robes of his monastery with the edges dyed a bright red to represent the element he is most attuned with. The end of a large flame snake tattoo can be seen peeking out beneath his robes on his right wrist and a well-used scimitar is slung on his back. He has been light-heartedly chatting and joking with Breg and Umr, but wanders over to Dorash who is concentrated on checking their surroundings. He keeps in step with the hobgoblin as they make their way to the next stop. With a small nod of his head and clasping his hands together in greeting, Chakan speaks to Dorash as they walk.

"Good morning my friend, it is a beautiful day. It is good to be alert, but it seems like you are expecting something in particular to appear out of the flowers? What troubles you today?"

Without altering his actions, Dorash replies, "Nothing different than usual. The flowers may hide a plant creature, or be a distraction from a bandit ambush. It is also possible we are being followed. The enemy had the advantage if they are unknown." Dorash talks like someone with military training and the inability to relax.

The aasimar accompanying Chakan chuckled.

"I, too, endeavor to become more cynical with each passing day, look gift horses squarely in the mouth, and find clouds in every silver lining."

Arcs of blue light ran across Umr's bare upper body and burned like hair on his head, presumably branching across the rest of his body but hidden under dark pants and surprisingly well kept traveling boots. Two daggers hung on his belt, and a backpack and light crossbow were slung over his shoulders. Umr's smile was snide yet somehow friendly, and his eyes twinkled with sunlight and celestial energy as he also admired the flowers.

"Feloran bromeliads, I believe. Quite beautiful. Quite poisonous if ingested."

Breg walks cautiously along the path. Pausing just long enough to make casual small talk with his friends, quiet but friendly.

Nature’s a mixed bag, friends. Beautiful at times, but also unforgiving.

Breg’s hazel eyes gaze warily from beneath his green cloak. He pauses during rest breaks and has a customary way of perching his trusty boy into the dirt, and leaning his lanky weight up against it.

"No amount of worry will keep an ambush at bay," Reginald chuckles. "While a certain level of prudence is understandable... life is for living. It would be a shame to waste it, fearing that which may never come to pass."

The man strolls easily, his helm off so he can feel the breeze in his hair. The sunlight glints off his heavy armor, the ringing of metal striking the ground is heard with each step.

"And if it does come to pass, then we face it and we best it."

The sun shines brightly over the hills surrounding this isolated pastoral road. A sudden flurry of birds rises from behind a nearby hill, heralding a hulking creature cresting over the top. It is humanoid in shape but with a massive, buzzing purple insect where a head might be, which swivels in a sudden and unnatural movement. A piercing shriek emerges from the creature, which crawls toward the road on all fours. As it approaches, a feminine voice can be heard, "Please, help!"

Chakan attempts to bring up his scimitar to block or deflect the blow, but he underestimates the automidon's strength and he is critically injured, hurt both by its blade and his own. Blood rushes down his arms and robes, but he crouches down and prepares an attack of his own. He focuses on where ki points should be on what he can reach: the creature's body. He expends what energy he has to power up his attack. As master often told him, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Most certainly. The lean female figure stands tall and confident.

Listen closely, my name is Amora Rei, a phantom bound to this ancient husk of stone and magic. In ages past, a cosmic war raged, a battle between light and devouring darkness. We, the Knights of the Blazing Meteor, stood as guardians against the encroaching shadow of Eucator, the Skittering God-Beast. Our weapons were not of flesh and blood, but towering constructs of celestial might, the Automidons.

With these iron giants at our side, we fought to repel the minions of decay, the Emissaries of Divine Decay. Their twisted purpose was to usher in a new age of nothingness, a cosmic reset at the whim of their monstrous god. Through sheer force of will and the cunning of mortal minds, we pushed back the darkness, exiling Eucator to its infernal realm.

Yet, the shadows linger, always. Like a vermin emerging from the grave, the cult of Eucator has returned, their wicked minds now turned to corrupting the very tools of our salvation. They seek to steal the power of the Automidons for their own nefarious ends. A chilling prospect, is it not?

Dorash gets inside quickly after. He looks around, assuming there is some kind of magic to control something so big. If the woman explains how to operate it, he does exactly as she says, but he snips if she says anything like, "No no, you're doing it wrong", as he interprets that as looking down on him.

Amora Rei's voice echoes in the head of Dorash and Breg. First tap your finger on the needle there and take a dab of your blood and touch the crystal. This should sync your body to Myrmidon. And from there, just follow your instincts.

Any rests can easily be taken hear if needed, For those who don't need to rest. Amora tells you all that signs of the other Automnidons should be able to be found in the immdiate area. Doing Perception and/or Survival checks to track down the Automidons can be made at this time.

Distracted little Marceen keeps her mind off the new possible experiences and takes her efforts to tracking which she is rather good at. Marceen is rather at home in the wilds. Obviously, she does well as she is a touch on the chubby side. Kinda typical for Halflings who love eating and food.

Unlike many Halflings, she doesn't favor bright clothing and such but as many, you don't see her displaying any real wealth either. She favors greens and more the colors of the wild. You suspect that she isn't your common everyday Halfling. Although she seems to have many qualities that seems to say Halfling besides her size. She is rather happy about those extra 3" that she has in height.

Despite her shorter legs, energetic her keeps up just fine with the entire party and in fact she is required to slow some to avoid outdistancing everyone. Hard to decide where she hides all that energy at.

She does take a moment summon up some aid and checks the upcoming weather. (casts druidcraft). Obviously shorter Marceen can cast some magic. Appears to be rather druidish.

May squirely fast Marceen make a double move (Dashes) while stealthy. She is rather fast at 35' movement. With mobility, difficult terrain isn't a problem, and little her is highly athletic. She really wants to close in on the sweet Dryad. I was thinking on top of the rock pile just outside the spell area (No coordinates on map) and about 25' from the beautiful Dryad with a nice clean run to her.

OOC:

Was thinking that normally I believe 30's stealth moves at 20' but she is 35' stealth, so it is kind of odd number was wishing for 25' movement (Rounded up.) So, she would have covered 50' with a double dash move in stealth?

OOC:

Since she has cunning action, could she bonus action have moved even further. Perhaps another sneaky 25'. Like the tree area that is southwest 10' from the Dryad. There and ready to pounce. That is 65' by crow and I was thinking she was able to move 75' in stealth with a double dash move and a bonus dash move.

On a failed save, it takes 15 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from Umr. The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and doesn’t have to move away.

Amora Rei's voice beams out from the Hunter Automidon.

This is Automidon, Imperator. It looks like it is missing the power core as well...we should commandeer it and look for the last one. Jester.

The Imperator is similar to the Hunter in design, trading out the Hunter’s blue color scheme for red and its mystical symbols for smoothly carved whorls. It wields a massive red crystal shield and a morningstar with similar red crystal spikes, and a green-and-red cloak hangs over its shoulders.

Safety harness like strapping on is definately possible, maybe advantage on any save to avoid damage/issues with falling.

We should find out which way Jasper went - unless, Amora Rei, if you tell us that? If we don’t know, then I’ll look for tracks.

If it’s been through here, it can’t be that hard to track it.

Little Marceen checks the weather with Druidcraft. With wave of her hand and druidical sounds words she does this. "It is useless to scout ahead as anyone can see us coming." as she motions to the our robots. She glances back at the Dryad. "So beautiful and so dead."

Breg gets a a sign of what looks like a potential trail of something big. He can tell it isn't from the Imperator or Hunter Automidon. It looks like it could be the Jester...

OOC:

You have a trail, sounds like Breg is outside of the Automidon now so we actually have 3 Automidon seats left. NOTE an Automidon can be piloted fully with only one controlling it so if we don't have 3 who want to jump in we would just need one to work with Imperator.

OOC:

Sounds good. You can also cast spells while piloting (the Automidon essentially becomes your arcane focus for the casting, and the spell shoots from it). By the end of this technically EVERYONE could be in the mechs at the same time, 3 Automidons. 2 Pilots Each. 6 players. So it all depends on what you all want to do?

I can jump into an automation if someone wants a partner, though remember that if 2 people pilot 1 automation then the automation takes double damage and we share a recharge roll rather than getting to each try to recharge. I'm good doing the next encounter on foot otherwise.
