Faolan now has his in hand. He whirls it around the to blighters as the attacks rain in and blocks them both. Grinning he says, ”Now it’s my turn.”
He whips the shield first at the most wounded of the pair, then on the other.

Faolan smashes his shield into the first blightguard who flies back on the last blow. He prepares to jump back into the fight just as Bazsil's arrow skewers him to the wall.
Bor throws his spear into the other redcap, hitting her twice and hurting her deeply with his holy cold iron weapon. So fast is she that all of Krowe's rays miss completely, splashing into the fungal wall.
The final blightguard jumps around some more, keeping her concealment going and striking at Bor.
While this is happening below, the fauns climbed to the top of the wall and are now throwing bombs at Krowe!
"No fair using fire magic, that's for us not you mortal."
Round 3

Faolan moves 5’ closer to the wall, but doesn’t want to waste a round gaining flight - at least not until he gets a sense of how tough these fauns may be. He’ll throw his shield at the fauns, focusing on one until it, hopefully, drops.

He throws his hand and sends bolts of lightning dancing through the fauns, then quickly casts a spell to haste His companions. He then dashes away for cover.

All alone he faces the faun threat hoping to hide behind his shield.
Krowe pats out flames and tries to wipe acid off his skin. "Damn.. that hurt. Thanks Bor. I made a foolish mistake, but I think I'll live. I have a feeling Faolan's going to need some healing soon too, so keep that healing touch ready."

"Hold on Faolan!"
Hoping to end the fight quickly, Krowe unleashes more lightning into the enemy.

One of the fauns drops under the attack and the other makes a last effort to kill someone, throwing an acid bomb at Faolan again.
After that it is brought down by shield, spear, and bow.
As soon as the last faun falls you look around for any other attackers, but find none in the immediate area. A small force of quicklings arrives to stab the faun corpses and you realize that Wendel was picking the lock on the cages while you were dodging acid bombs. He begins talking to one of the quicklings, a taller woman with patches of skin cut off and only one eye. She's been bandages but clearly the fauns were experimenting on her.
The newly turned blightguard on the table did not survive your interruption and you quickly search the room while dealing with the quicklings.

”Those fey were nasty.” Faolan says as his flesh sizzles from the acid. ”How are we doing on wands? I’m afraid I took quite a beating there.”
Faolan looks about and loads up the treasure into his extra dimensional pack.

"Gather around, I will do what little I can." Bor releases the little bit of positive energy among the group. He looks over at Wendel speaking with another of the fey. "What you got there Wendel?"

Bazsil helps identify the magics, giving time for Faolan & Krowe to heal.
"Wendel? Any survivors? Who were you talking to?" Bazsil asks when he hears voices. "Did you want to introduce us? Or did you learn anything?"
”Thanks Bor!” Faolan feels significantly better after his healing waves.
Once healed, he keeps on eye on the area as he loads up some of the loot for later sale.

Bazsil notes the number of charges Faolan uses while he waits to hear from Wendel.
|
|
After a brief conference, the apparent leader of the quicklings turns to you when Bor's healing magic washes over the group.
"Oh—oh-oh-oh! Is it over? Is it well and truly over? Meril thought she was doomed! Her family was gone, and the evil one’s minions dragged her to this hell-place, and that was it! They took Meril’s skin and Gorvin’s eye and Petulia’s hand and they made a man who danced and stank of rot. But new friends have rescued her—yes, shiny and so new—and now Meril must tell her friends the horrible things she’s heard. The minions experimenting on Meril were vile! Bragged about mocking the earth queen as they visited the evil one far below!"
You see a gold ring on Meril's ankle, it looks remarkably similar to the one you found in the dragon's lair and you recall that Wendel at first mistook that ring for one that his sister was supposed to posses.
”Yeah, it’s over. Sure Krowe was almost melted by acid like the b&$#$ed b~%$~ of the quest, but we pulled through,” Bazsil replies in his friendly, deep rumbling voice. ”You got another ring, do you?” Bazsil takes the ring and puts it where it should go. ”Sorry about this, Meril. We kind of need this to fix all the things we need to fix.”
”What else can we do for them, Wendel?”
Faolan feels pretty good about how things are turning out. Long way to go of course, and he can scarcely imagine the horror some of these creatures have lived through.
He shudders and grips his shield for comfort. He bangs it with his fist trying to release the anxiety. "It doesn't get me out of everything, but it does get me out of most things!" He ends with a somewhat joyous shout as he hoists his shield in the air... before realizing he was talking out loud at all.
”Oh, er, sorry. Look, we’re not done, and we could really use that ring you’ve got there. If that’s cool and all.”
”Oh yeah, we’re here to kill the evil one, or ones. There seems to be a lot of evil around here and we’re going to do that,” Bazsil rumbles in answer. ”We need the ring to do the thing.”
"I dunno why we need it, it's magic, and that's all over my head. But we're here to end the evil. So, please, give us the precious ring and point the way below that we may free the earth queen."
He feels it's a fair bargain all things considered. But he waits to see what the fey decide.
|
|
Meril seems reluctant but at prodding from Wendel she nods and takes the ring off herself. "You must pass the three handmaids and follow the trail down. There you will find the evil and free the earth queen. Meril has not been deeper but she has heard them talk. Beware the handmaids, they will bewitch you. Deep into the darkness you go, where the evil lives. They will all know you are here, the blight links them."
The inscription on the ring is again in Abyssal, "Moss and rot shall grow unchecked."
Having told you what she knows, you push on. The wild roots growing from the floor here grow thick in several places, folding upon each other to
form simple chairs and benches. This faux furniture circles a massive tree smelling of sickly sweet fruit. Various sundries of high society—engraved flatware, needle lace doilies, and delicate porcelain—rest upon finely carved real tables and sideboards, which are hopelessly stained with mildew and rot.
There are indeed three fey lounging on the furniture here. They watch languidly as you enter. The fruit from the tree seems to resemble human heads and the tree itself seems to be humming. The sound feels like it is worming itself into your brain.
One of the fey speaks. "What brings you here mortals?"
The second speaks. "Do you seek an audience with the queen?"
The third finishes. "You have attacked her servants, it will not go well for you now."
Bazsil pauses before continuing on, looking at Krowe.
”How are you on your magicks, Krowe? Should we retreat to rest? Or push forward? Bor, what of you?” Bazsil ponders the strength still left in his own voice.
Faolan is ready to proceed, so he does so.
vs DC 18
"Hey, you lot are extra creepy. Is the queen as creepy as you?" he turns to the others, "I assume we can smash 'em yeah?"
He'll charge into the midst of them if he gets the nod from the smart folk.
Will
Bazsil follows along, letting Krowe suck it up and letting Faolan's words carry forth.
Krowe is a little creeped out by the fey and their singing bush, but blocks out the unsettling tune.
"I've still got a few tricks up my sleeves." Krowe says, but the others are already moving on, so he hastens to follow. "Crap, hold up."
|
|
The three fey stare at you with starlight eyes. You see thousands of years in their gaze, the passage of entire mortal civilizations a mere blink to beings such as these. You almost feel yourself drifting towards them when the tree farts and the air is filled with pollen.
The three fey cackle and each other and inhale deeply as the pollen settles over each of you. The smell is sickly sweet and somewhat intoxicating.

”Now cut that out!” Roars Faolan.

[spoiler=Battle Cry (+1 morale to hit, +4 vs. fear)]
Benefit: A number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus, you can let out a battle cry as a swift action. When you do, allies within 30 feet who can hear you gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
If an ally is under the effect of this feat and fails a saving throw, she can choose to end the battle cry’s effect on her to reroll the failed save against a fear effect. The ally must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s lower. Each ally can use this effect only once per use of this feat.
