"Well, I guess this should work like a normal river craft. Let me see those oars, Vira"
Ebonfeather rows the boat out toward the island.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Easy there," admonishes Umberto. "Row the boat gently down the lava stream." He finishes donning his armor.
You reach the island quickly. The ground is sloped, but not enough to cause any mechanical effect. Should we see what's at the top? Vira asks.
"Why not?" asks Umberto. He disembarks ready to follow the thief up the hill.
Ebonfeather holds the boat steady as others disembark, then drags the boat up on shore to make sure it doesn't float away.
As you summit the volcano, you find yourself staring at a stone platform suspended above the center. In the center of the platform there is a small pedestal on which a flaming greatsword resides. The flames are sticking to the blade, and not the hilt. On the far side of the platform is a gold throne. A young man sits on this throne. When you appear he smiles.
I am Jason, guard of the Blade. You must kill me if you wish to take the Fire Swiftblade. Or of course you could steal it with some deft fingers. Or you could magically transport it out of the cave. Or you could... you get the point. But rest assured that if you try to remove it, I will fight back.
"You could fight and you could die for we need these tools to defend the town. Would it not be better to come with us and fight actual enemies then those of good intentions?"
Switching tacks after a pause.
"Or, as a represnetaive of law in the town, can justifiy putting a bolt though your eye and leaving your blood to mix with the lava."
Examine the pedestal to see if there appear to be any traps.
Examine Jason, does he appear to be human?
"Guard of the Blade? Exactly how long have you been guarding this blade?
No sleep? No food? No entertainment other than watching the lava bubble?
Are you sure you wouldn't prefer if we allowed your vigil to end?
The people who placed you here to guard this blade must have set some type of condition that would allow them to take the blade without having to battle you. Is there anything we can show you to prove that we have the backing of the town above?"
Umberto sets his Lucerne hammer down, shrugs, then draws his great sword, preferring the close quarters weapon for this duel.
"Are we to fight you altogether or one-on-one?"
Altogether Jason says. He turns to Ebonfeather. I could use a little action, and a fight would do my boredom good - even if it ends me.
In other words, fight him to get xp so you can level up and make up for the amazing diplomacy rolls in the mage guild

No traps, he is human.

Mushroom will stand in front of me and ready an attack if Jason comes in range.
[u] Action [/u]
"We tried. I guess it's your funeral."
Umberto will strike with his greatsword as fast as he is able to react.
I have received requests to do on-screen dice rolls on one of my other campaigns.
What you notice about Jason: wearing no armor, just a robe, two metal wrist guards reside on his... wrist.
It would appear that Drahz has gone on vacation, I can't find any activity from him from before the 13th. As such, I will roll his initiative and then we can start combat.
While we wait a little longer, can you guys put your letters on the map near Vira's letter?
-Posted with Wayfinder
I see. In that case, your arrow flies true, striking Jason. He grunts.
Drahz and then Daphne are up. I will wait 24 more hours for Drahz before botting happens.
"So wasteful."
I fixed link sharing. Due to complications, I will be taking over Drahz for the time being. This is the crest of the volcano. You guys start at the bottom of the map.
-
Drahz will run forward, towards Jason, and then draw his weapon.
Daphne's shot misses (whichever roll is used).
Vira streaks forward, pulling out her knife after.
Jason begins chanting እሳት ፍጡራን, የእኔ ትግል ውስጥ እኔን የሚረዳ! and waving a small bag.
Umberto you are not in range to attack, what would you like your move action and standard (or 2nd move) action to be? Keep in mind you are still on the bottom of the map with Mushroom
I fixed the link (again) and confirmed it is working.
Since you crest the volcano at the bottom of the map, you cannot attack. You can, however, run towards him.
To answer your question, Umberto, you cannot attack Jason this round with your 20 foot move speed. You can, however, move forward 20 feet, and then replace your standard action with another move action. Would you like to do this?
Ebonfeather advances to S14, then fires again.
Mushroom stays at his side, and readies another attack if an enemy comes within range.
Thx. Your arrow bounces off Jason.
Drahz moves forward, brandishing his weapon.
Daphne is up.
Daphne, hair wet with sweat form the heat, skirts around the edge of the lava to get a clear shot.
"This guy must be an idiot. Fighting us instead of defending the town."
Vira continues running forward, skirting around Drahz.
Jason's chanting ends and a fiery thing appears in front of him.
He begins chanting again.
The fiery being flies at Umberto. it misses.
Umberto swings his greatsword at the being made of fire.
"Mushroom, go help Umberto out and attack that Fire being" Switching back to Aspect of the Bull to boost Strength for Mushroom.
Ebonfeather will close in on Jason for a better angle and shoots again.
Mushroom rushes up to S9 and attacks (the Elemental does not appear to be on the map yet)
Suprise! All three of those attacks miss!
Drahz will run at Jason. That misses.
Daphne is up.
"Well enough complaining lets get this over with I guess."
That hits, dealing a substantial 8 damage. Jason must make a DC 20 concentration check.
That succeeds!
Vira rushes at Jason and attempts to stab with her knife.
Jason must make a DC 15 concentration check.
Well Jason is up (with a second spell ready).
His spell ends and another fiery thing appears, this one right next to the sword. He attempts to cast defensively (DC 19). But he loses the spell.
The first elemental attempts to slam into Umberto. But he misses.
The second elemental attempts to slam into Drahz. Another miss.
Umberto/Mushroom are up, then Ebonfeather.
Oops I just realized I wrote Mushroom next to the wrong person. Sorry about that.
After Umberto's action:
Ebonfeather, no longer having a good shot, rushes forward to set up a flank with Vira, drops his bow and attempts to bite Jason.
Meanwhile, Mushroom 5-foot steps closer to Jason and continues attempting to gore the fire being.
Umberto continues attacking the fire creature.
That is a total of 13 damage to E.
Drahz attacks Jason.
Daphne Up
Shaking her head at the needless fight Daphne fires and reloads again.
That is 3 more damage to Jason.
Jason again attempts to cast defensively.
This time the spell succeeds. [spoiler=Spellcraft DC 16]Mage Armor[/dice]
Elemental 1 and 2 attack. 1 attacks Mushroom. . That is damage, and Mushroom must make a reflex save.
Elemental 2 attacks Umberto. . That is damage, and Umberto must make a reflex save.
I'll wait to see what the effect is before taking my turn.
Well I would tell you what the effect is but I am having tech issues. Will post more asap.
Umberto catches fire for rounds. At the start of the elemental's next turn, he will take damage.
Mushroom catches fire for rounds. At the start of the elemental's next turn, she will take damage.
As a full round action, Umberto and Mushroom can attempt a new DC 11 reflex save.
Mushroom takes more burn damage
* Now at 10/17
She takes a 5-foot step to T7, then drops and attempts to smother the flames
* Flames maybe out?
Changing Mushroom's aspect back to Tiger (+Dex).
Ebonfeather shrieks in fury and full attacks Jason
Drazh Up
