Iobarian horror (Inactive)

A fire from Sarenrae appears to light in Uriel's eyes as his anger stirs.

It hasn't worked for the children who were being tossed as slaves to the aboleths. They were not evil. They were not a case of evil devouring itself. That was a case of evil devouring the helpless.

"There are no helpless, only those without will"

Ian answers "What if they are unable to find the will in themselves through anything are they not hopeless than?"

He shrugs and motions that he doesn't care for the situation of others

What if while you are waiting for one evil to destroy the other and be left too weak to defend itself from you, one evil becomes so strong as to smite down the other evil and remain standing too tall for you to destroy? Then what?

"That is why we observe to stop it from happening"

Uriel looks for a moment at Ian. Then he merely shrugs and speaks...

I guess we will be moving on then. Take care lest one of those escaped worms infests itself in these woods. Also, if we uncover information regarding the strength of these forces we may return to pass the information to you to use as you will...or not. If you are not present we will leave a note with the message for you to find later.

With that, he turns back to Ian

Shall we be on our way to the town? We have an alchemist to meet.

"Well if you wish to leave before my father arrives, I won't stop you"

Ian asks "How long until your father arrives?"

"It can take a while, he goes of wandering in the woods on his own"

Ian mutters "Of course it will be hard to follow his tracks."

After a while the other brother returns with a very old looking man, he has a beard as long as himself as white as snow, he is bald in the head and wears light green robes. The old man waves at you two but does not say anything

Ian says "Hello".

"So are you the ones who killed all the cultists by the beach?" says the old man

Uriel sits quietly, a little too angery at the moment to risk opening his mouth.

"No, well what are you doing here?"

Ian says "Your young daughter invited us here."

"Daughter? Daughter... oh yea that one... you're not cultists are you?"

Ian replies "No we are not"

"So what brings you here?"

Ian sighs and responds it is a long story "I oringinally did not like the way people that respected nature viewed in my orignal homeland of mendev. Then I started riding on a long journey and ended up here helping people along the way whenever I could but mostly keeping to myself until I heard about missing townspeople in clam bay."

"So you hate the disrespect of nature?"

Ian responds "Yes"

He grabs from a pocket a pair of necklaces just like the one the girl was wearing and throws one at Ian and the other at Uriel

Ian asks "What do these necklaces do?"

"A bunch of things" he says cryptically with a wink

The boon is greatly appreciated. Uriel responds, still wondering whether or not the necklace has powers or is merely a child's trinket. He accepts it graciously nonetheless.

Ian puts on the necklace.

Ian

As a note this is the end of this "chapter" so you both go up a level

Thank you once again and perhaps we shall return later with information or for guidance. Ian, shall we make toward the town?

I will get that leveling done very soon...

Ian responds simply "Yes"

Alright shall we skip to back in town?

That would work for me

me too

Alright as you get near to the town you spot an enormous worm causing havoc, crushing buildings and slaughtering the towns folk. There is a hooded creature standing at the centre of the town, its hands moving in the same direction as of the giant worm's movements.

Ian looks and says "Looks like he is controling the worm I think we should stop him and then target the worm."

How far away are we?

About 1000ft away from the town

bump

CAn I be on my horse animal companion?
Ian mounted on marie his horse will draw his lance while on his horse MArie and says to Uriel "I think we should try to stop the person controling it."

Sure, i don't see why not

I believe we should charge him, immediately. People are dying.

With that, Uriel quickly urges his mount toward the hooded creature.

I got a bad feeling about this

Well the hooded creature's concentration is fully on controlling the worm, thus it won't move or defend it self before its attacked, so you both get to do a charged attack at it, and then roll for initiative

Ian rushes forward towards the hooded creature with his lance trying to make this attack as powerful as possible to take down the hooded figure with a lance charge and also tries to make it a destructive smite.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
damage
3d8 + 27 ⇒ (1, 5, 8) + 27 = 41

edit forget sneak attack if flat footed
1d6 ⇒ 5

The lance goes straight through the creature in what should be a lethal hit, skewering it right through the head. It is still standing and moving

Ian says "what!"
might as well roll for initiative now
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Just waiting for Uriel's attack...

My apologies for not promptly posting (understatement) I am also assuming that since we are acting simultaneously, Uriel would not change his tactics based upon Ian's result...

Uriel charges the hooded figure on his mighty mount, Bugler, with his scimitar ready to strike.

Scimitar +14 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
damage if hits 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Confirmation, if necessary, natural 18-20 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Confirmation, if necessary 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

you forgot your initiative roll

The hooded creature is slashed across the chest by Uriel's blow, though it doesn't seem to have had any effect, It raises its hand and waves at you, the gigantic worm starts to move towards you

1d20 ⇒ 18

Doesn't seem to have had any effect as in 'he is unhurt' (DR or such) or as in it passed right through him with no resistance and 'he is unhurt' (something like project image or incorporeal)?

I want to know If I felt anything as well.
