"Crackjaw, will you accompany us to the trade-fort? We can accompany you to the temple after our business there is finished. If not, then this is how you get there," Asta says. She proceeds to give the Druid a detailed explanation and then gets ready to depart with Seraph.

Sunset chews on her cigar and keeps eyeing the distance between herself and the big lizard-snake thing as it thrashes about around Cherry-ripe and Chief White Eagle.

Bump?

Yup. Lots a bumpin' be happenin' in our neck of the woods.

*******At the river crossing*****

Strawberry death strike is having more success than either Torod or the hyena.....

Another worm pounces on him from under the water and debris pile....

******At the mite lair*****

Crackjaw: "I have no other pressing matters to attend to, so I shall accompany you to this other place ahead of the temple."

Setting off from there everything looks clear

Survival DC 14

"Ahhh... ferter burgers!" Sunset exclaims as a second best suddenly appears and she moves to get closer to Chief White Eagle and his new pair of scaly friends.

Moving to get within about 20' of the two lizards, trying to stay 'Up hill' and taking a bead on their scaly hides. Happy to post an attack when in range.

Strawberry shifts to flank and tears into the her foe.

Sunset is in range of the chief and the recently emerged worm....

Strawberry Death strike, Torod, and a hyena make short work of the original worm.....

The chief has an attack coming before we move to the next round....

Sunset lifts her small, single handed item and aims along her outstretched arm.

Ranged Att:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Over come spell resistance:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Ranged Shocking grasp:3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) = 13

As the lizard shifts enough that the bolt of eldritch energy scorches one of the drift-wood logs Sunset grits her teeth and adjusts her aim.

"Hold still ye varmint... Mammy needs her some brand new boots...."

Chief quickly regains his balance as the second beast attacks him, one of the creature's claws scraping down his arm.

He returns the favor by plunging his spear into the body of the Dragoon.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Ranged Shocking grasp:3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7

Torod has the hyena move over and attack the other Tatzlelwyrm.

Seraph took a deep breath of the fresh air and shuddered. She knew the feeling all too well. Rain, it was going to rain, again. "Good thing we are heading to the fort, it smells like rain is coming and probably soon." Seraph held her position, per her usual light trot on Julius with no weapons at the ready as she awaited the order to possibly increase their pace.

*****On the road with Asta, Seraph and Crackjaw*****

Crackjaw looks to Seraph at the prospect of rain.....
"I do not mind the rain, but my friend..."
points at the spider
"will likely insist we take cover once it starts, I blame the gypsy child he heard her singing once about the rain and it ended poorly for the spider..."

"He can go into my saddlebag if he likes," Asta offers. "There isn't much in there; I carry most of my things on my own back."

That said, the Witch pulls her leather cloak's hood up, covering her head.

"I wonder how that daft old bird of mine is doing," she muses. "He should be at the fort right now, warning everyone about the Trolls..."

Hint. ;)

How did she get here from Greenheart...?

"Oleg! Oleg!" Croft croaks as he launches himself off the tower, zipping ahead of the little Witch. "Someone stop that girl! Thief! Thief!"

The little witch feather falls her way out of the fort....

Croft flapping about and raising the alarm only produces a reaction from the two guards on the wall, who come over to see what is the matter....

Guard 1 "Hey it is just a talking bird."
Guard 2 "Birds talk?"
Guard 1 "Mostly they just repeat stuff. This one must have been around when the bandits came, I heard it say Oleg, thief, and stuff."

Guard 2 @Croft
"Say Oleg! You want a cracker?"

croft recognizes the guards and remembers the three names, John, Wayne, and Clint, but is not sure which two these are....

"No, I do NOT want a cracker, John, Wayne, Clint, Tom, Dick, Harry or whatever your name is!" Croft shouts, angrily flapping his wings. "The little girl! The little Witch girl! She stole the land-grant for my mistress and her companions, the people who defeated the Staglord! Somebody stop her, already!"

"Who? Where?"

The guards look over the wall, but don't see anything.....

"Horse feathers!"[b]Exclaims one of them....[b]"A wild raven chase I say."

"We can report this to Kesten!"

The guards do just that....
Kesten checks the charters and finds they are all present and accounted for....
Kesten "Could be a forgery, I suspect...."

"Including the new one?" Croft demands. "The one that says my mistress and the others now rule these lands by royal decree? Is it here? Is it?"

Oleg opens the crate and counts the charters...
"Indeed they are all here. Perhaps you were tricked."

"Stupid little Witch girl," Croft grumbles. "I'ma tell my lady master on her."

Oleg laughs...."I am going to have some pie....check the middens bird, the misses butchered rabbits yesterday...."

The guards nod at mention of pie....
"Did you see a little girl?"
"Nope."
"Me neither."

"Then you need to step up security," Croft scoffs. "Don't go eat pie yet, Oleg, and Tom, Dick and Harry need to hear this, too; the lady master would want you all to know this. She and Seraph have encountered Trolls. Their leader says he is starting a kingdom of his own in the area and tried to recruit... well, subjugate, the Kobolds. They said no, though, which the top Troll took badly. He's smarter than a Troll should be, the lady master says he has backing from a bad Fey who was also involved with the Staglord, and he is definitely going to be trouble, and the lady master says you need to improve the fortress' defences to prepare for attacks."

Oleg: "Trolls are pretty tough, the fence should hold. Double the pints of oil and torches on the wall, keep the corner fires burning,...offer the lad coin to collect wood. Thank your mistress for the warning."

"Their boss is a SMART Troll with Fey backing and an unknown number of other Trolls working for him. Will the fence hold against a whole tribe with proper weapons? Lady Asta wants you to be really ready."

White Eagle is bitten and a claw rakes across his midsection drawing more blood.

suddenly from nowhere there is the sound of an Eagle's caw. and the visage of an Eagle surrounds Chief.

then with a renewed vigor Chief strikes at the beast.

rage and attack, if the beast is dead already then no rage

spear attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27 -- +2 for flanking
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

The River Crossing

The Dragoon!

Torods hyena and Strawberry deathstike flank the beast and succeed in attacks. Torods arrow skitters away deflected just barely by the scales!

The Chief impales the Tazleworm on his spear..."RAAAAAR!", it wriggles around like a worm on a hook and rages back at the chief...

Melee bite @ chief 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Over come spell resistance:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Ranged Shocking grasp:2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

Well.. she might have come close to hitting one of the darn things....

The second worm goes down in a heap nearly pulling the Chiefs spear out of his hands....

Sunset just adjusts her aim to the remaining lizard,

And at least leaves a mark.

"All right then. Boots and a cloak."

The hide is emblazoned with scorch marks like lightening, so a unique set of boots and cloak....possibly a hat and vest as well....

confused here, what boots and cloak? did I miss something here?

also, I think the fight is over, correct?

carry over from the discussion thread...

Yes the fight is over.

Wait? What? Both tha' big varmints be haberdashery items now?

Wait? What? Both tha' big varmints be haberdashery items now?

Or sundries if you prefer...

"There's a reward for these at Oleg's." Torod begins to skin the beasts and take trophies to prove he's earned the bounty.

Once that work is done, he continues with mapping.

Fortunately Torod recalls Oleg wants a head not a hide.....

Sunset tilts back her hat... takes the cigar from her mouth and relights it. Puffing slowly on said item she then moves to unhitch her mount and move it closer to the battle zone.

There she rolls up her sleeves and gets to helping with the sorting of big lizard bits, occasionally offering bits of meat to her large bird mount.

Also, looking about for shineys, baubles, big lizard eggs or other things of interest/value

Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Gota' admit guys. Didn't see tha' day endin' this swell when tha' first critter jumped out'a tha' river, that's fer sure." She admits as she continues to help with the task at hand.

White Eagle also makes use of the rest of the bodies for food. cleaning the carcasses for food storage.

As he prepares the carcasses, he takes some of the beasts entrails and washes them in the water. chopping it up and mixing it with some other herbs he makes a paste and rubs it on his wounds.

cure light wounds - 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Seraph rode through the inclement weather alongside Asta, keeping the donkey trailing behind them as they maintained there steady pace. "Hopefully befalls your feathered friend Milady. I am sure there are a few creatures that would try. Like a Hawk for instance." She kept her weapons stowed for now, the rain wasn't good for such to be exposed to. "Just a thought anyway. If only there were means to make Croft more... Durable."
