At the strangers mention of it raining all day Bjorn mutters under his breath I'd get an umbrella 's what i'd do
As he departs through the portal, Bjorn gives a final passing remark
"I'll remember you... Don't forget it..."
Also, when I had to roll for before
Fort save vs the poison
So I take 19 damage, Wyatt takes 19, I delt fire damage on my turn so I heal 4, 2 rounds pass since then? So Wyatt takes 10 more and I heal 16...
I'm full health and Wyatt takes 29 :D
To know Jubliex
to know Zargon
To know where the tomb is (or +21 if i can use local)
Reverie holds her shot, not sure if the man is truely an enemy.. Turning towards the group.. "Well now that was interesting.. Any ideas on what that guy was talking about?"
(wyatt will heal himself with cure light once)
+2 from fey.
Elara stands, pondering all she has heard.
Speaking more clear and concise than you can recall a 1/2 orc talkingHmm sounds like there's a power struggle going on in the hells, tho why Jubliex a demon would care, is puzzling unless he just wants to see them fight. Oh sorry just pondering, If I recall History correctly, Zargon was an Arch Devil, who had a power struggle with Azmodeus for control of the hells. Needless to say he came up on the losing end. Maybe Jubilex is trying to raise him back somehow, so the fight could begin in Earnest again. Tho why he come here to magnimar is puzzling unless something here will help him, or even the tomb itself close by.
To try and recall more of story of the struggle
That sounds interesting and all but why on earth would this b*@#!*+* be appearing here!? Looks at the disgusting pile of fleshes laying around
Shouting to be heard The danger might be clear for now, bring out the wounded into the nearest chapel and we'll administer healing and try and work on recovery!
"We need to scry and figure out where this temple is, so we can stop all this mess.. Can anyone scry on the masked stranger that just left here?"
Jubliex id Demon Lord of Slimes and oozes, this was his minion, he wanted something here. We need to figure out what it is.
Elara nods in satisfaction, and turns to the group.
"My name is Elara, and if what that man described comes to pass, I will fall. Thus, I wish to head to the tomb of Zargon, and silence the demon. I trust you all are also interested. To that end, I comm-" she hesitates, and visibly has to strain to say "I suggest that you, sir" she points at Galgar "being the wizard, scry or otherwise seek out our destination, and fetch a scroll of teleportation if you lack the requisite spell. You, ma'am, should visit the town guard or mayor or whoever rules this place and inform them of our victory and our quest, and gather supplies and support for our venture. You, sir seem overly preoccupied with the state of the wounded, I take from that that you are a healer; ply your trade tonight, for I plan to leave in the morning, with the rest of you if possible. And you, with the giant axe... do whatever you want. I have to visit a girl and inform her that her father is dead. Good day, and good hunting come the morning."
Piece said, she waves her hand and her mighty construct fades into nothingness. Turning, she heads back to the inn.
I'm not very keen on taking orders from people I don't even know, let alone ones who seem a bit presumptive... I'm not even sure what race you are exactly.
He says eyes squinting as he examines her up and down
"Ha! I like the sounds O you very much! I will go with you."
After they had walked a little ways, Bjork continues his conversation with Elara
"Sounds like you are no stranger to command. I have a whole tribe of Vikings back north. Well, had. Then fire rained down, sumthin like what happened here, well we be used to fighting off tha cold, but fire? Lost half o our tribe there. Good chance the rest is gone.
How about you? You seem to have this primal, dreadful aura about you an I got ta say, I find it quite refreshing!"
"Pretty sure the rulers of Magnimar will figure out that order was restored.. I'm going to collect my Reggie cat and do some more looking around.. Ill catch up with yall at the lodge later.."
Elara nods in satisfaction, and turns to the group.
"My name is Elara, and if what that man described comes to pass, I will fall. Thus, I wish to head to the tomb of Zargon, and silence the demon. I trust you all are also interested. To that end, I comm-" she hesitates, and visibly has to strain to say "I suggest that you, sir" she points at Galgar "being the wizard, scry or otherwise seek out our destination, and fetch a scroll of teleportation if you lack the requisite spell.

Piece said, she waves her hand and her mighty construct fades into nothingness. Turning, she heads back to the inn.
Noticing the authoritarian undertone from Elara, Trihedron is thankful by the fact that she has apparently overseen his presence, which will avoid unnecessary arguments, and continues to assist Wyatts' efforts to gather the wounded and direct them to the nearest chapel.
Turning to the Oracle, he comments - "There are sure to be many wounded... I will assist with directing them to you"
Turning to the others he adds - "I will scout the city to evaluate the damage caused, and herd the wounded - would you friends agree in gathering later on at the lodge so we can decide what our next steps will be? I believe some pondering and reasoning may be in order, before taking our next step into what seems to be some demonic spawned feud"
Seeming to slip back into a typical 1/2 orc speakHar Har, funny woman creature, giving orders on things she knows nothing about. What you ask is not something i normally do and cost money, funds are something I lack at the moment.
Getting back to his better speak style I will go to the lodge and see what they have, I might be able to get loan from them, but I wont count on it.
In the city the ooze treat seem to have been contained. The citie's defenders roam looking for additional treats.
A young man garbed as a cleric of Abadar of low rank comes running pale as a sheet and seeming terrified and goes to Wyatt "Sir!...Sir! All the wounded are flocking into the temple but there is a problem sir...The clerics are dead. All of them except those who were out running errands sir..."
How did they die? What did them all in? And I'll tend to the wounded as best I can
"They were all hacked apart...by swords I think...It's horrible...Even the high priest...He was so powerful who or what could have done this?" says the young cleric.
The oozes had no swords, have any intruders or culprits been found? Also, if you don't mind me asking, I know it's a rough time for you, but what diety did they follow?
"The Slaughter took place at the great bank" he says motioning to the nearby great cathedral of Abadar. "Naturally everyone there followed the teachings of the Master of the First Vault." responds the cleric.
The church of abadar sure is weird with their naming of things, please show me the scene as you gather the wounded. Keep in mind, I'm deaf so if I don't respond just wave or get my attention so I can read your lips.
He smiles as his wings ruffle just a little in the iron laden breeze
Galloping up on the back of kittie Reverie returns just in time to hear about the clerics.. "Well c'mon we must go investigate at once"
On the way she casts extended barkskin on Reggie
"Meow"
wyatt follows the clergy to the church
You arrive at the church to find chaos city guards are struggling to keep everyone out of the church but a large crowd is amassing screaming at them some are asking for healing (very few actually as the majority of those struck died nearly instantly) but most are asking for answers as to what happened inside.
"How are we gonna get trough this crowd says the young cleric." scratching his head.
that's a good question...
Looks towards the top of the building and eyes the young cleric as if a carnival worker guessing his weight
Don't suppose you'd like to fly?
He scoops the young cleric up and flies towards the top of the building to enter through a roof access or belfry
Trihedron shakes his head as he notices the throng - "Things can get out of control really fast here" - he comments - "We should try to gain access, so we can understand what has happened inside"
Reaching behind his back, he produces the most curious of items... A broom. With a swift movement, he hops onto it as if it was a mount, and takes flight after Wyatt and the young cleric.
The cleric was basically shouting so you all heard him and the Cathedral of Abadar is about 300 feet from were you fought the ooze.
Also a group of guards are gathering nearby looking at Galgar the dragon with fear and hesitation. Most likely they are deciding whether or not to attack the dragon in the town square but there isn't an officer with them to make the call.
Wyatt lands on a balcony on a tower at the top of the temple. It leads into the personal chambers of the high priest. "Be careful! Some places in the temple are warded against intruders. If you try to enter the chambers of the high priest like this you might trigger a trap" says the cleric after waving to make Wyatt pay attention.
Good point, err you know any other ways in?
Galgar looks around fora good place to land where he can safely get entry into church and possibly away from the gaurds.
"Go to he gardens at the back we can enter that way." replies the cleric to Wyatt.
Galgar takes flight and makes a circle around the temple. He notices that there is a garden behind the temple and it is currently empty save for one woman hiding in the bushes.
Off we go!
Flies up towards Galgar and lands in the garden
Galgar lands Away from the woman and changes back to 1/2 orc form. he see Wyatt and Some cleric flying in, and waits for them to land.
Dont be scared, we are here to help. are there any attackers still here that you know of? What happened here? looking around for signs of hostile creatures.
The woman is clearly scared out of wits and seeing a dragon turn into a half-orc isn't helping any. You question her about that happened and after a bit she replies.
"It was a man in strange mask. He just came in, drew his swords and started cutting everyone apart. The paladins, the clerics...they just couldn't stop him...He's a monster, not human...A demon he has to be a demon..."
Pushing Reggie into a gallop she quickly rounds the church and meets up with the others.. "Whats going on here Galgar?"
This woman claims a man cam in here and slaughtered everyone. Just a man with swords. Doesn't sound very plausible. but they all are dead and they do look like sword wounds. Tho I'm no expert in these kind of things. he says while Looking at a few bodies
He's not still there is he!?
"I think we should definitely see.." Reverie nudges Reggie into the lead as they enter the church..
"I don't know, I ran to the door and this scary slime was falling from the sky so I waited until it stopped and the hid in the garden." replies the woman.
Elsewhere:
Elara is making her way back to the Inn and she spots Naila outside looking around. Naila spots her and runs up.
"Your back! I watched some of your fight, it was really impressive. Those other folk who came out of the lodge were really strong too weren't they?"
Galgar will follow Reverie into the Church looking out for the swordsman, Finally catching is his familiar, You finally made it Salty, come on then lets go see together. Look out for a mad man with swords. as he motions for this salt mephit that seems to have flown in to the garden to follow him.
