Mists of War - DM Downrightamazed

Game Master downrightamazed

Three groups of gaijin approach the Son of the Heavens, ruler of the Empire of Mists, in his palace in far Lanzhu. A great war is underway in the west, this is known, but what could these strangers want?

Trained to watch for the slightest movement of the wrists and fingers, Imuri sees the goblin shift the weight in his arms to raise the foreign barrel - presumably some sort of gaijin weapon.

The Spider's reflexes release the fire in his blood, and rebel against the earth of the tea house floor. He bounds directly toward the strange creature, registering somewhere that the thing must be taken alive. He calls backward to the Spider samurai. "Watch her."

Imuri stutters a single step, pulling his body away from the pommel of his ancestral blade, then crouches between steps. His shoulder lowers to the floor and his weight carries him the rest of the way, the lunge starting low and striking upward...

Attack vs flat-footed Urk, unless GS get uncanny dodge, with stupid hero point. 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
Damage 1d8 + 6d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + (6, 5, 4, 5, 2, 2) + 7 = 32
Urk gains a bleed for 6 each round at the beginning of his turn.

...The smooth wodden floor carries Imuri swiftly, and gaki buredo pierces the goblin early, but dark blood still oozes from the wound. Imuri takes little notice as he straightens his legs while withdrawing the blade, allowing the extra cut to leak blood more freely.

The Shoto does not wait half a heartbeat before exhaling the air in his lungs. As he breathes in, the air around him shimmers, and Shoto Imuri vanishes.

Spend a ki point to become invisible for 7 rounds.

@Azami Chu nods at Azami's words, the shining of his scales continues unabated but he doesn't make a move to focus the spell on her items. He's careful with his words not knowing how he should place them as he speaks. "As you wish, I know a smith if needed as well." With nothing further to say he leaves her to her task understanding now the importance to her and trying not to dishonor her by prying further. Another custom, warrior code maybe? Honor Code perhaps?

After leaving the Undercity--

Emerging from below, Azami squint in the light. She bows low to the Emperor of the Floating Kingdom at his dismissal and turns towards Kyras.

It strikes her that there should be some discussion of what occurred below--other than punching him in the face, which had been her first instinct. So much was yet to be done though; perhaps later, once they have left the city for their destination. "I have need to visit an address given to me by the captain; I do not expect it will take long and we should be ready to meet your guest for tonight."

Kyras draws in a swift, troubled breath. "I have to go," he says to no one in particular. His eyes seem glassy and unfocused. He draws together magic and rises into the air. For the second time in the same day, he flies off without much warning. This time, at least, he doesn't appear to be in the grip of his draconic transformation - and Azami has the means to follow him, thanks to his earlier casting of a flight spell upon her.

Chu:
Kyras reaches out with his mind to Chu, showing the serpentfolk an image of the foreigners huddling around the magnifying glass, as well as his uncontrollable urge to go to it.


Female Human Samurai 11, HP: 84/128, 3/4 Resolve, 1/4 challenges

"Just once..." she growls, anger masking the fear that Kalaroth is regaining hold over him. Azami runs after Kyras half way down the street before realizing she's climbing in altitude as she goes; sighing in both frustration and relief, the samurai redirects her clumsy flight to follow the Warbanian across the city.

Shadow Lodge

The image catches Chu unaware and when he turns towards where Kyras was he gives a sigh. He turns to the King, Tokines father and Samurai General Sera and bows deeply in apology. "A thousand pardons I will beg forgiveness later." He shed his Haversack and looked at Tokine for the briefest moment a mixture of resolve and sadness tinging his golden eyes. His code was so strained that it hurt to break his word like this.

Tokine Only:

:Main pocket, Rhon and the others are contained therein... Forgive me.:

It hurt badly, his calm was cracking under the strain, but his duty called him to action...

Acrobatics - High Jump + Cart ;) 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

He turned and, using the rough of a fruit cart, he leaped from the cart up onto the rooftops before staring in disbelief at the flying pair. He took in a deep breath and forced his muscles to relax as he elongated his spine. With each crack of the vertebrae his body loosened and releasing his breath he charged across the rooftop, using his inhuman dexterity to sail from one rooftop to the next, clamoring up the cupper shingles with as much speed as he could muster. While trying to keep them in sight...

Acrobatics - Long Jump 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

As he landed on the next rooftop he shed his tattered robes of office, and leaned forward, arms angled behind him as he lunged forward, springing across the uneven rooftop in hot pursuit of the flying pair...

Don't let me be too late!

"Ugh... children..."

Wei runs off after Chu and Kyras.


@Urk, @Imuri, @Mai, @Livain: The Shoto samurai do as their lord bids and fall back to watch the erstwhile "Scarecrow", who struggles vainly against her bonds. As Urk looks for the now-invisible Shoto and Imuri plans his next move, both of you notice the sudden appearance of a pair of winged humanoids, high in the sky directly over you. They would not have been worth noticing if they weren't on a direct approach vector with your position.

Okay, so, initiative order is:
Urk
Imuri
Livain/Sar
Maiathreen


@Kyras, @Azami, @Wei, @Chu, @Bel, @Min: Kyras arrives at the scene of the Abomination first, with Azami, Chu, and Wei in hot pursuit, mere seconds behind him. He pauses on a nearby rooftop to observe the strange party that has gathered; A large silver dragon, its scales polished to what would be a blinding sheen if it weren't raining again. A warrior -- the dragon's rider? -- another warrior riding a winged steed, keeping watch, a wood elf, Captain Citanu, from this morning, and a handful of gendarmes. The mists swirl thickly around on the ground, but will not come within a meter of the Abomination.


Female Human Samurai 11, HP: 84/128, 3/4 Resolve, 1/4 challenges

That he would return to the place where he was last possessed is even more distressing. Arriving on the rooftop, she manages to land with some grace behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder in a silent What's wrong?, watching the strange behaviour of the mists.

"Youch!" Urk shouts as the stoopid talky man unexpectedly dashes forward and cuts him with a sword, then vanishes. Urk laughs, and says, "Ha! You do more than just talks I s'pose, but Urk's seen this trick before!"

Five foot step back, quick draw flaming dragon pistol, shooting at the square Imuri stuck him from

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

As far as I can tell, Imuri hasn't moved, so that's a hit. Scatter shot, so invisibility won't help. Spending 1 grit to deal 6 bleed

Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + (5) = 15 +6 bleed

The goblin does a mad dance and laughs as he sees fire wash over the invisible shape of the talky man.

About how far are we? Did we hear the part about Urk being controlled?


Male Half-elf Dragon Disciple 11

Kyras stops on the rooftop, looking down at the scene below. He acknowledges Azami with a silent, grim look - almost a pleading for her help. He is incapable of saying it, but he desperately hopes that she would know to incapacitate or kill him before he might activate the magnifying glass again. He turns back to the group that has gathered below to investigate the Abomination that Kalaroth used earlier in the day, noting that Chujitsuna and Wei are nearly upon the group down in the maze of alleys below.

As if pulled by an unseen force, he hesitates before stepping off the roof. He descends slowly, still hovering above the group as they look up to see him. "That is mine," he intones to the group. To those who know him, his voice is free of its normal irreverence - but it isn't the voice of Kalaroth, either. He hovers several yards away from the Abomination, eyes fixed upon it with a hunger and desperation.

Kyras has darkly-tanned skin, still somewhat covered in blood and gore - though his dripping clothes and matted hair suggest that he just went through a torrential downpour. His clothes are in tatters, as the sorcerer has not yet taken the time to mend his clothing. He openly displays several wounds, healed and re-healed by magic, that mar his skin with a pattern of angry, reddened scar tissue.


@Kyras, @Azami, @Chu, @Wei: Your story continues here, in Legacy of Marianasu.

I would assume you're at whatever your normal cruising altitude is. 100ft? 200? It's up to you, honestly. Give me a DC22 Perception check. If you succeed, then you heard the entirety of the conversation listed above, including Bethany's observation about Urk being enchanted.

He gives Livain a quizzical look when she tells him not to harm the goblin...it felt wrong. But he knew she was right.

The burst of flame sets Imuri's kimono afire, blazing against his forearm. His mounting injuries attempt to distract him, but the arrival of new figures means the Shoto has to have command of the combat quickly.

His voice falls from nowhere, as he shuffles his feet to flank the goblin with one of his samurai. "I bid you lower your weapons, and live, goblin." He steps into the adversaries' side just then, driving the pommel of gaki buredo home. He then spins left and right, becoming visible as he does so. The katana stabs at the goblin from both sides and then straight down, the whole series reminiscent of darting pincers and a deadly tail.

The tail blow strikes true, the rush of blood and lack of breath weighing on the goblin immediately. Imuri watches for signs of his fall or some sorcery.

Livain drops down her wings folded in tightly when she reaches her desired height she snaps them open and arrests her fall pulling an arrow as she does she fires a sleep arrow at Urk. The arrow passes a hairs breath from his thigh.

"Sar hold tight" He says before he plummets Ll the way to the ground stopping just short of smashing his body to the unyielding earth below. As soon as he stops Sar-Selene benefiting from the free ride attempts to dispel the magic controlling Urk.

Double move for Mai
Sar's Dispel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21


Sar-Selene's magic is strong, but this spell was cast by a god, and she is unable to dispel it.

Urk only:
You've taken enough damage and been target by enough weirdness you can make a new save. Still DC25, but you get a +4 circumstance bonus for self-preservation.

Yes. Martial Stalker. Got to have something to keep up with your +8 Dex bonus and AC29! Also, Imuri clearly needs to complain to mom about the quality of his gear!

With the goblin down, Imuri checks to be sure the Scarecrow is still his prisoner. He realizes both he and the goblin are leaking blood, and that he still has the two flying gaijin to address. He indicates the fallen amulet of the Uniter to one of the Spider , who retreives it immediately.

"Scarecrow, the goblin is an undiciplined wretch, but if he attacked me under compulsion, he may have information we can use. Can you help with his wounds?"

The scion of the Shoto turns to face the new presence, aware the flying man fired on the goblin, aware he only has moments before passing out.

And aware of very little else.

Minor clarification: flying woman, actually; Livain is female, Maiathreen is male.


@Mai and @Livain: You see the goblin fall to the ground after belching flame out the strange rod he holds, wounding the old man. You then see the rather fantastically-dressed man(?) get untied and go over to the fallen creature. She takes a potion off her belt and pours it down Urk's throat.

Urk is healed for 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8

She then stands and offers a potion to Imuri. "I'm assuming you have ways of dealing with this, but I can give you this potion, if you want it..." The rogue scholar then hangs back, waiting to see what the silastrix want, and how it might affect her situation.

Out of turn-based combat, obvs.

@Maiathreen: You look the rod/weapon/whatever-it-is over, but are unable to discern how it does what it does. It does not appear to be magical, and seems to be some kind of blowgun or similar. You've never encountered anything like this anywhere before, ever. It's baffling, or it's enticing, depending on your point of view.

Urk coughs and sputters with when the potion is poured into his mouth, and leaps up, trying to look like nothing happened. "Gah! Unhand me wommin! Old man, yer still bleedin. Fix it, I can't be havin Grik-Grok get his way." His eyes narrow when he sees the new elf-like thing examining his dragon pistol, and takes a more cautious tone, as if talking to a child that holding something dangerous. "You there, scaly guy! Let's be a smart and hand that little thing back to it's owner. 'S no toy. And NONO DONT LOOK DOWN THAT END!"

@DRA, it is a magic weapon, so I assume he would detect magic of some sort.

You have 24 hp and 40ish nonlethal damage. But we screwed that combat enough to let it slide as long as your compulsiom to murder me is broken. :p

When the Scarecrow reached for her potion, Imuti lowers one to her from the folds of his sleeves. "I still have your things, Scarecrow. I considered giving them back, but I trust you less than I did yesterday."

He then produces a birch wand and waves it over his scorchexd arm and ribs, willing the water in his body to respond to the magic.

But I see I mathed it wrong a bit and am technically at -2 nonlethal. I'll toss in a hero point, or villain point as it were to be conscious if DRA allows it, and get on with Grik-Grok shooting business.

Maiathreen's eyes flash gold for a moment reminiscent of staring into a dragons eyes. A low growl works its way up from his chest. "You receive nothing until I am certain your under no compulsion". He says as he tightens his grip on Aervais.


AC: 29 (T: 22, FF: 20) - CMD: 28 - F:13 R:18 W:9 - Hp: 24/123 - Grit 2/3

Urk points another weapon in the air and pulls the trigger. "See, I didn't shoot any of ya. Feel better now?" He grins and casually (but not that casually) lowers his arm, making sure the business end of the pepperbox points ever so briefly at the man holding his gun.

"Naw, we're all best buddy's now right?"

Sense Motive DC 0: He's clearly annoyed, irrational and volatile, but the threats appear to be for show.

Maiathreen shrugs his shoulders even after seeing it fired he was still satisfied that he could cut the smelly creature down if it attacked. He hands over the strange rod containing its form to memory I hopes of unlocking its secrets

"Thanks. King Urk is gracy-uss in his forgiveness today. I shall pardon you all. Talky man! Where is this dinner Grik-Grok goes to? I do you favor and shoot him before he makes more trouble. Then if we try and kill each other later it will be because we wants to, not him. And who do I needz ta shoot in the leg to get some heals?" Urks mood swings wildly, now that his focus has returned to Grik-Grok.

Stoopid Urk! Stoopid Grik-Grok! Now we hasta play nice!


"Excuse me Father a moment, I need to thank my friends as they seem set to disperse."

But she hardly gets the chance the move as the group begins to scatter. As Advisor Chujisuna approaches offering his bag, she does not take it, but removes the vessels transferring them to her battered bag. Anyone else beside Rhon at this point?

Chu:
Go where you are needed with my thanks for your service and the Empire's thanks. I will see to the Prince's safety.

She approaches Rhon's companions. "You all will be wanting this. Open it near his waiting body. His soul will find its way to do the rest. Thank you for your timely aid....again."

She moves back to her King, "Well Father, it looks like you got me to yourself. I am not sure of the need to depart, but it has been a very busy day and there are preparations for tonight. "

Looking about at his assembled retinue, "Where are you staying? I could make my Temple available to you, but we might have some overflow issues. I will need to at least get word to the Temple to let them know I am alright, and that preparations will continue for tonight. You Have come at a very busy time. Tonight should be very...interesting."


@Urk, @Mai, @Livain, @Imuri: The man referred to as "Scarecrow" speaks, his voice raspy and hard to understand, as if he has a throat injury. First he addresses Urk: "The dinner is at the palace. It will not be easy for you to gain entrance by yourself, brave goblin warrior, but if you travel with a noble personage already possessed of an invite, well, you could get in easily. You, uh, you might have to change your clothes, though." He then addresses the two silastrix: "Winged ones, what is your business in our city? Neither of you look like anyone I have ever encountered before..." The question is not meant to be rude; quite the opposite, it is said with a scholar's natural inquisitiveness and wonder.

DC30 Perception, Urk, Livain, and Mai only:
This 'man' is actually a rather tall woman in disguise, possibly aided by magic.

DC27 Sense Motive, all five of you:
The Scarecrow is tensing to make a break for it.


@Tokine: "Let us stop at your temple, Tokine, then it would honor me greatly if you would accompany me outside of the city. I know it is a significant detour, but it would allow me to present you to the gathered citizens of the Floating Kingdomw who accompanied me here. Then, together, we will make our grand entrance at the state dinner this evening, assuming the emperor has accepted my request for entry to his magnificent palace." He sends the soldiers on, then gestures to you; "Please. Lead on. I have no threats I fear in this city, and it is so good to have a little quiet time with you. I know you not at all, and feel there is so much I need to tell you, yet simultaneously I want simply to be in your presence. It is a curious duality of emotion that lives now in my heart." He smiles warmly, and follows you toward your temple.

The weathered waveman bows slightly, turned toward the flying newcomers. "I am Shoto Imuri of the Spider Clan. I must escort the goblin as my guest and the Scarecrow here as my prisoner, but I offer you the finest accommodations of one of the ancient Great Houses of Lanzhu, so we may dialogue about your presence and intentions in the Empire."

Turning to the Scarecrow, Imuri notes the samurai surrounding him and taps his ring finger against the silkbound pommel of his katana. "The prisoner will not invite you to go anywhere, nor will he make an attempt to escape, until my family understands what is happening in our city."

Imuri nods toward his two fastest ninj—err... samurai. "Tell the Mother Spider we bring last-minutes guests, some of whom may travel to the state dinner."

The samurai sprint away, literally a blur in the night, as Imuri takes up position behind the Scarecrow, and the group moves forward.

"Walk."

"I'm afraid we must decline your gracious offer. Maybe some other time we have friends we need to meet up with." Maiathreen says in response to Shoto's invitation.


@Maiathreen and @Livain: The (wo)man(?) called "Scarecrow" gives the two of you a weird look as she leaves with the rest of them, a bug-eyed look like you're both crazy, or missing something big, but then goes meekly on her (his?) way. You are left alone in front of the noodle house.


@Urk and @Imuri: You are making your way through the city when the sound of marching feet catches your ears. Rounding a corner, you are faced with a large force of Clan Sera's elite Black Orchid samurai, led by none other than the great Sera Zhongyi herself. She is holding a jar as if it were of more value than the Emperor's own son when he was an infant.


"Imuri-San." The Sera general bows stiffly. "It is fine weather to be walking, especially if visiting loved ones. The Empire is blessed, and we are blessed to be here." Her observation of courtly formalities is bare-bones, but it will serve. Zhongyi is not known for her manners.
