Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

May 9, 2017 9:42 pm

The ship fires no thunderous barrage this time. Seeing the boats returning, they sound a horn, and the surviving griffons turn around and head for the ship, flying low along the water.

The villagers are making their way across the bridge slowly. Khiva, who has not yet stepped foot on the bridge, screams at you all:

"We must cut the bridges now! Run for your lives and for ours; I do not want to face your mighty corpses in battle!"

Re: Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

"Frick! Get th' fuck over 'ere!!!" Jarveena cries. She hustles across the bridge, then turns and launches an arrow at the Second Ancestor.

OOC:

• Jarveena moves her speed (25ft) across the bridge and urns to fire.
• Assuming Second Ancestor is engaged vs. Frick. If not, then whichever Ancestor Frick is fighting.
• Damn, I wasted a Superiority Die!

Re: Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

ELSPA and RYGNAR

Axe and sword flash in the moonlight, working in unison at their grisly task. The corpses witness five of their former brothers cleaved in half and rising to take their place. All at once, the mass of flesh surges and a wall of flailing limbs and hungry mouths crashes onto the barbarians. Teeth break and limbs snap as they claw their way to live flesh, but a few manage a precious taste of blood.

OOC:

All five zombies fail undead fortitude and do not reanimate.
Elspa takes 5 damage.
Rygnar takes 4 damage.

The retreating pirates continue to madly row their boats, the frantic wailing of cowards receding into the rolling waves.

Re: Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

FRICK, JARVEENA, MOSS, and YGNE

Jarveena and Moss make their way across the bridge, but the crowd and swaying of the rope bridge slow their progress*. Jarveen snaps a shot off, but a frantic villager bumps her arm and the shot goes wide. Moss manages to get his arrow to connect amid the chaos, however

Frick fends off murderous knife swings as he withdraws to Ygne, who plants a bolt in the Second Ancestor's head to match Moss's. The creature pays the mortal wounds no mind, and it and its brethren strike at Frick and Ygne.

OOC:

Frick takes 20 damage.
Ygne takes 12 damage and then 10 damage
* recall that Bridge is difficult terrain

One of the undead griffons still has serviceable wings, and takes the air. It plows all 500 lbs. of its frame headlong into the bridge, sending waves across the bridge, knocking several villagers into the rapids below.

It now stands between the party and the other side of the bridge.

OOC:

Moss and Jarveena need to make a DC 12 dex saving throw to see if they can hold on to the bridge - failure means you are knocked into the rapids below and take 2d10 bludgeoning damage from the fall.

The other zombies and griffons make their way toward the chaotic bridge, but are unable to move past the ancestors

Re: Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

As Frick falls, Ygne freezes and her eyes widen. Her stomach lurches and her heart squeezes into her throat before she lets out a horrified shriek. The thief drops her crossbow upon the ground and rips a dagger from its sheath as she lunges for Frick. Her free hand digs into the neck of Frick's chain shirt, and she jabs her dagger toward the ancestors that assail them. "Stay back!" She screams, "Stay the fuck back!" She pulls him back a few feet, grunting from the effort. It dawns on her, with the griffon ahead and death lagging just at her heels, that she simply cannot drag her friend fast enough.

She pulls Frick in close, tucking an arm underneath his and wrapping it over his chest as she backs up. She grits her teeth as the tears begin to blur her vision. With one final heft she pulls Frick over the edge of the cliffside and, clutching to him for dear life, plummets down toward the rapids.

Re: Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

Jarveena barely manages to stay on the bucking and swaying bridge. She nocks another arrow and fires at the griffon blocking the way.

Hearing Ygne's screams, Jarveena glances behind her just in time to witness in horror Ygne and Frick fall, likely to their deaths. As Jarveena turns back to the griffon ahead she wonders what has become of Elspa and Rygnar. Probably dead, too. She screams in defiance, "I ain' dyin' today! I jus' ain'!!!"

Re: Chapter 3: Meeting The Natives

ELSPA and RYGNAR

Five more zombies crumble before the barbarians' unstoppable onslaught. Uncharacteristically, the final three zombies cease their attack. They rise a foot into the air, their bodies slack and hanging limp and their eyes suddenly possessed with harsh starlights. The three orbit gracefully around your position and addresses you with a single eldritch voice:

"Engines of death and destruction, I have witnessed your fury with approval. Name your reward."
