Emerald Sky

Game Master Asmodeus

Evelyn calls on her magic, washing away the worldly hurts of her companions before slipping into her bedroll and well deserved sleep.

The group awakens under the same star-filled sky as when they initially began their slumber, the points of light like fireflies stuck in amber, forever and unchanging.

Only the fire is different, now burned down to warm coals, the smell of woodsmoke all but gone in the warm breezes that sweep the butte and rustle the thin, needle-like leaves of the yucca tree.

Talon rose to a seated position and glanced at Amelia. Fresh feathers had grown to replace those lost in the acidic slime left behind by the turtles passing, stark white against thier dark brothers, the effect striking. "This place? Is it a memory? Is it a dream? What meaning does it hold for you?"

The morning having come, Maitreya arose and stretched his limbs. He then stood stock still, and to any observer seemed motionless, save for the occasional quiver of a muscle here or there. In fact, each muscle of his body tensed and released, a system of exercise not as valuable perhaps as the regular katas Maitreya practiced, but better suited to the smaller quarters Amelia had provided. And, Maitreya thought wryly, less of a show-off this way too.

Exercises complete, and while the others finished a morning repast, Maitreya bowed to the others,

Allow me to scout below, and insure it is safe before the rest of you depart.

And then, with a backstep, he fell from view.

Brand looked at the skull. His face drooped as he studied its hollow eyes.

No, i hope your right. Its just nice to feel like i have him close.

Our family need never leave us if their memory holds true. Is it not custom in these lands to lay the mortal coil to rest in the ground, or beneath stones? I have never seen one carry so physical a reminder of one living before.

...

Brand shut his eyes against a single tear that ran freely down his cheek.

But what if you never got to make any memories?

He turned and kicked at the grass as he moved away.

Maitreya hurtled towards the boulders below and then reached out with a lightning quick gesture towards the rope, turning his fall into a spinning twist that bled speed.

He snapped his weight forward and flipped through the air, landing softly on a thick blanket of moss.

The eel boat remained where he had secured it, all but invisible beneath a blind of swamp grass and reeds. The patch repaired by Brand stood out from the algae stained remainder of the craft, the wood still shiny and smooth, not yet tempered by weather and water.

Nearby, a white-winged stork perched on one slender leg, regarding him impassively.

Frogs, startled at Maitreya's sudden appearance, splashed into the swamp like skipped stones.

All seemed calm.

Maitreya regarded the crane for a short time. A good omen. he muttered to himself, remembering all the the crane was said to have taught his order.

All being calm Maitreya began to clear the camouflage from the boat, and make it ready for the others.

Mudwater Swamp -Cloud Mirror Tarn
Moonday Rising, Lowfall, AR 67

Maitreya soon has the eel boat uncovered and ready for travel once more.

One by one, the companions descended from Amelia's pocket realm and resumed their places in the watercraft.

Maitreya hefted the boat pole and pushed the craft free of the its moorings alongside the boulders, feeling the gentle flow of the Lady's Walk current swing the craft's prow about.

Brand sat there, as he had yesterday, his eyes full of wonder at the weatery world slipping by with each repeated shove the aasimar made.

As the morning slipped towards midday, the waterway widened, splitting and then splitting again as other streams cut the swamp into a thousand willow-topped islands. The pinks of lady slippers, the whites of water lilies, and the browns of bullrushes formed a colorful tapestry as the group traveled.

Finally, just after the noon meal, the thinning tamarack and bracken gave way to flats where the eel boat rasped to a halt as the waters grew more shallow, sliding to a stop on the edge of a broad expanse of flooded mud and reeds.

Just beyond the vegetation, the group could see the crystaline waters of a wide mountain lake.

Hemmed in by the lofty slopes of the Old crytolis Mountains and jagged cliffs of granite and shale, the lake reflected the lazy clouds above with perfect clarity.

A loon called, somewhere out on the lake...a mournful noise.

Constitution Check DC 10: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Constitution Check DC 11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Maitreya Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Due to the helping Lady's Walk current, Maitreya's effort was lessened in pushing the eel boat and he is not fatigued even though receiving some non-lethal damage from exertion.

" I believe this may be the lake they spoke of. If you can all remain patient I believe I can get an accurate map of the surrounding terrain within a one mile radius. It will take a little time, but it could prevent any....incidents"

Amelia closed her eyes and was silent for a long moment. When she opened her eyes they were black. Suddenly a dozen tiny black birds shot from her body and scattered into the air in a flurry of activity.

"My little birds will tell us if anything is about" she said with a tiny smile as she slumped back in her invisible throne.

I cast prying eyes. I creates 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 magical flying sensors that can spread out in a 1 mile radius of me and after a pre determined distance or pattern is fulfilled they return and psychically feed me what they saw. I am going to have them do a 1 mile radius nautilus pattern. Each one has +9 perception and +16 stealth. they are being stealthy.

Very cool visual

Amelia absorbed the information in a flood of images. She stood for a long moment with her eyes closed as she processed it all. Finally she opened her eyes and regarded her companions.

" Well, this is interesting. I saw no marks of the king in yellow at all. There is an iron spire with draconic markings, a giant monster in the lake, a petrified forest, but no markings. Oh. And some marsh giants have captured a knight and plan to feast on his flesh. I think we should investigate the tower. It seems quite interesting"

This knight in peril troubles me. I shall have to examine that before I can proceed in good conscience. I would appreciate aid any aid that might be lent me, but should you prefer to wait here for my hopeful return I will understand.

If you could point me in the right direction?

A slight smirk tugged at the corner of Amelia's mouth.

Working with heroes again. right. of course.

"well, I must let you know that one does not simply wander through this terrain. If you wish to pursue the giants you will need conveyance"

Taking a reed from the ground she proceeded to sketch symbols in the mud. After a few minutes she stepped back and grasped the amulet at her throat. A mist rose and swirled around the symbols. moving and whorling it soon coalesced into the forms of a team of sturdy white draught horses attached to a similarly white carriage with a black snowflake stylized on the side. Both the wheels of the carriage and the horse's hooves seemed to fade into translucent mist before they touched the ground. Casually floating forward into the carriage, Amelia looked back at the group.

"Evelyn, if you would care to join me" and then looking at the others
" If you please.' she gestured at the empty drivers seat and settled in to the lush cushions of the open carriage
" The giants are southeast"

I use arcane bond to cast phantom chariot. It is the exact same as phantom steed, save it can carry 6 and it is 1 levels higher

Evelyn thought carefully to see if she could remember something...

Knw: Religion - Marsh Giants=1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Knw: History - Origin of Spire=1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

you are too kind.Maitrya said with a bow. Then he proceeded to tie the eel ship to the bank, and aided any who would need it onto the carriage. Taking the drivers seat, Maitreya made ready to pursue the Giants.

Evelyn thought carefully to see if she could remember something...

Knw: Religion - Marsh Giants=1d20+11
Knw: History - Origin of Spire=1d20+10

"I agree with Maitreya on this. However, you should know Amelia, that those spires are known to me as centres of storm powers. Now, let us find this knight, he may know more."

Evelyn summoned forth her Cloak of Darkness around herself.

"Which way?"

Cool.
Brand walked around the phantom, taking in the mode of transport.

Amelia you have the most amazing things you know that? Now in regards to the giants. Do you think it better to try and lure some away before we save the knight? Or just frontal assault?

He hopped into the carriage and leaned back on the cushioned seats. He sank into the soft interior and let out a deep breath.

We should definitely travel this way more often! Oh before i forget..

Glass bottles clinked in his pack as he brought out a small vial.

I have a few of these magic drinks, makes you harder to spot for an hour or so. In case we just wanna try to distract them and sneak him out.

Elixir of hiding. +10 stealth for one hour.

Talon climbed aboard the mist-wrought vehicle and clacked his bill in approval. "The Mother of Breezes looks upon you with favor."

Amelia lifted one sculpted eyebrow and the horses surged forward, racing back into the swamp at a rapid pace.

They slowed as the water deepened, fans of spray rooster-tailed from each wheel as the horses pulled mightily.

No more than a handful of minutes at the horses pace brought them within sight of the brutes, half again as tall as a tall man and many times heavier.

Black eyes peered from bulbous faces, as the horse and cart thundered towards the oversized trio.

They looked stupidly from one to the other as it drew near.

"Oi! 'orses! Ya knows wut dat means donn'a?" one rumbled.

An ugly grin of shark-like teeth spread over another giant's face. He dropped the armored human he was carrying over one shoulder into the mud and hefted a massive club studded with crocodile teeth.

"I does!" he replied. "Seconds!"

If i knew we were just going to barg on in, i would have taken a potion of true strike out and drank it just befor we came into my reach for a spring attack.

Evelyn gave the middle marsh giant the glance of the evil eye, and then settled back behind the rest to see the results.

Hopefully, before combat begins, this power will effect one. Fort save DC 24, or confused for 9 rounds.

Ahh. And I was posting while Luke was still editing his post, so it looked like combat had not actually started...

do they all have two eyes?

Amelia eyed the mass of grey-green flesh beginning it's lumbering run towards them, and then considered the delicate form of the carriage and horses. A quick calculation brought forth the most probable outcomes, and best courses of action. There was a blast of wind and she shot upwards with the parting words:

"Maitreya, be a dear and mind the carriage"

cast fly and head 60 ft up

There is no surprise round. Charging through the swamp in a white carraige with white horses is far from inconspicuous. The carraige moves at a speed of 40 in the difficult terrain of the waist deep swamp water.
Amelia decides how far away to stop the carraige (maximum 120 feet away for perception purposes).
Regular initiative then follows. You do not have the advantage on the giants.

do they all have two eyes?

Yes.

Brand Orson round 1 Ini-16

Round One - Maitreya the Enlightened - Init 17

As Amelia shot upward, Maitreya nodded at her request.

"Indeed I shall," he said. After all, the carriage represented the biggest meal to the Giants, and he was sure one would certainly come to him.

Waiting for the giants to charge for the horses, Maitreya breathed in deeply, feeling the moisture on the air, and the cool chill as it gripped his skin. The giants had already bellowed out with their desire to devour his allies - if only some form of peace were possible.

As Maitreya exhaled his eyes began to glow. A shimmering ring of light emanating from his head acting as beacon to his foes, and perhaps a warning as well. Mastery stood resolute amongst the effulgence, ready to fight as needed.

The halo is a beacon (as well as an ability activated at will), but also an attempt at intimidation. Mastery hopes that the intensity of his resolve, aided by the light of divine purpose may give the gints case to pause.
Intimidate check: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 2 = 14

Ready a fcharge - If some giant comes within range he will be charged. I assume that they would never move base to base since they have reach, so when one is close enough I will charge to intercept.

Charge: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 2 = 32
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
vs. evil: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 1 = 9

Actually, I made Maitreya the driver, so he controls it. The spell doesn't actually decrease speed for mud or swampy ground.

If i knew we were just going to barg on in, i would have taken a potion of true strike out and drank it just befor we came into my reach for a spring attack.

Sadly, only Amelia knows where the giants were, and, that, only as of several minutes ago. It isn't until you got close to them that you saw them, and they you. True Strike works only if you make an attack roll the very next round or is wasted. Keep in mind that the swamp counts as difficult terrain for you, limiting your movement speed.

Where you were was mud or swampy ground. About halfway in, it turned back into the deep water you've been travelling in the boat for as you were heading back into the swamp at that point. Fair enough about Maitreya, I'll wait and see how far away he puts you before I put up the map. That would be an awesome visual. Three marsh giants watching a ghostly pair of horses pulling a white carraige.

Amelia made you the chariot driver and it moves at a rate of 40 feet in this difficult watery terrain. How far away from the giants do you want to place it? I put the map up but can certainly change the range to the giants if desired up to 40 feet closer.

Ill try and jump from branch to branch if i can, that way ill keep my speed. He's as dextrous and jumpy as they can be, forest fights are his specialty. If a jump looks imposing ill spend a ki point or if i get one from an attack ill use one too (+20). Otherwise i have a +34

No you won't. There are feats and powers for that, and you don't have them. You can move as a move action, make a single jump as another. There are floating cloud monks and stuff in the game. You didn't make one.

Marsh Giant Mayhem Round 1 Update

Amelia spoke a word of magic and shot skyward in a blast of wind.

The third marsh giant watched her rise through the open jaws of the crocodile skull he wore as a helmet. He began to reach for the rack of pointed sticks in the wicker holder on his back but then thought again.

Guttural syllables fell from the giant’s lips worm-like lips as he pointed towards the carriage, clutching a fetish of mud and teeth in one webbed hand. The swamp churned as thousands of black, glistening worms swam into view - thousands of hungry, sucking mouths eager for blood.

With another grunt from the giant, the swarm of leeches began to swim towards the carriage and it’s juicy, blood-filled occupants.
Maitreya breathed in deeply, feeling the moisture on the air, and the cool chill as it gripped his skin. The giants had already bellowed out with their desire to devour his allies - if only some form of peace were possible.

As Maitreya exhaled his eyes began to glow. A shimmering ring of light emanating from his head acting as beacon to his foes, and perhaps a warning as well. Mastery stood resolute amongst the effulgence, ready to fight as needed.

He waited, ready to pounce if the giants advanced within range.

Delaying to just before the next giant to get within jumping range. This would not be a charge, however. The deep swamp water counts as difficult terrain for you and you cannot charge through it

Evelyn shrouded herself in shadows, fading from sight behind a veil of darkness.

Brand scanned the surrounding swamp land and its clusters of willows, tamarack, and alders. He could see a pathway of branches leading towards the giants, but knew that he’d be far less nimble clinging to a tress trunk. He splashed down into the swamp and slunk towards a nearby clump of vegetation.

Marsh Giant #1 Noticing Brand: 1d20 + 11 - 8 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 8 = 16
Marsh Giant’s #2 Noticing Brand: 1d20 + 11 - 6 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 6 = 8
Marsh Giant #3 Noticing Brand: 1d20 + 11 - 7 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 7 = 24

The second giant plunged his hooked gaff into the swamps mud and physically tore a tree stump from the ground, roots and all. He turned a lazy circle, pinwheeling the stump through the air, hurtling it towards the carraige where it crashed through the mist-formed mounts, nearly dispelling them. 15 damage

Hurled Stump vs AC 19: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Stump Impact: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 3) + 9 = 15

Talon splashed down into the swamp and levelled his hand crossbow, the bowstring hummed, sending the bolt crackling into the distance.

Talon's Hand Crossbow vs Marsh Giant #2: 1d20 + 12 - 8 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 8 = 10
Bolt: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The last giant hefted his crocodile-sttuded club and waded forward, then stopped as the Shaman grunted and rumbled, pointing to the clump of marsh grass Brand hid behind.

"Skinny piece o'gristle 'hind dem bushes. Squash 'im into jam. I likes jam, I does."

A length of sunken log was suddenly airborne, spinning through the air like a hurled caber towards the hidden monk, smashing his hiding place flat and clipping his shoulder with incredible force. 16 damage

Swamp Caber Toss vs AC 26: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
It's Log, It's Log Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6) + 9 = 16
Concealment Miss Chance 01-50% Hit 51-00% Miss: 1d1 ⇒ 1

Ok now ill do my first spoiler since i drank the potion lol

the position of the horses is fine, I wanted them to come to us after all.

Round 2 - Maitreya the Enlightened

Realizing the Giants have been oblivious to his light, perhaps unnoticed amongst the ghostly luminescence of the spectral steeds, Maitreya extinguished the light, and slipped into the water between the horses, lowering his whole body into the chill waters.

that is so long as it's not too deep? What exactly are we talking here? The new plan is to stay concealed in the water crocodile style, five feet in front of the horses. Then to once more hold an action till one is in range.

damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Amelia streaked further skyward, disappearing into the low low clouds that hung over the marsh. Peals of thunder and flashes of lightning escaped from the cloud as it slowly turned darker and darker.

Move 60 ft higher and use my vanish spell like ability. The special effects are me preparing to cast summon monster next round

Roughly waist deep. Using intimidate to demoralize an opponent is a standard action. You could not do that and still hold an attack. I figured you'd rather get an attack off, so went with that instead. It just didn't work out.

Sorry, you've got a lot going on here and I need some clarification. You are in waist deep swamp water, which counts as difficult terrain [x2 movement costs]. Last round you [swift action] spent 1 ki to get +20 movement, [move] moved at stealth to the bushes, [standard] drank your potion of true strike What are your plans for round 2 with spoilers if/or things work out differently.

Yep, I no longer intended to do that anyway. Thanks

Marsh Giant Mayhem Round 2 Update

Amelia rose yet higher and vanished into a bank of darkening cloud, her magic swirling around her as she began to call something from beyond…

The Shaman of The Hunger shook one massive fist at the wind wizard as she faded from sight and then called upon his dark god once more, the wisps of fog rising from the swampwater around him dancing and swirling as his dark prayers were answered.

The swarm of leeches wriggled through the water, swimming towards the phantom chariot and its occupants. A dozen attached themselves to the conjured horses, then a dozen more, then a hundred more, the horses falling back into mist as the leeches sucked and chewed.

Maitreya felt the bites as well as the leeches flowed onwards, surrounding him and attaching to his golden skin, a hundred pinpricks of pain.

Maitreya’s Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 -> No Effect!
Leech Swarm Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
Maitreya’s Nauseated Save vs DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

I will instead move to close with the nearest giant. spending 1 ki to make that distance manageable in a double move.

Cool. I was just going by the stats I see above. Maybe change you stat line to say +whatever v poison if there is room to avoid me making the same mistake again.

It may get a little bulky, I have bonuses vs. lots of stuff, for or five. I'll look at it later and see if I can't add them in.

This was missed. Instead you had me put up Cloak of Darkness in rnd 1, which was already up (I put it up before getting in the carriage).

It wasn't missed. I just assumed you thought you had some kind of surprise round for a free evil eye attack. So I wrote out a long explanation that there wasn't a surprise round and waitied for you to out it as your first round actions. But you never actually posted any....Does that help explain it? Can you point me towards your evil eye power, it's range, etc.?

"I agree with Maitreya on this. However, you should know Amelia, that those spires are known to me as centres of storm powers. Now, let us find this knight, he may know more."

Evelyn summoned forth her Cloak of Darkness around herself.

"Which way?"

Ok. I see this now.

Gift of Madness, 'evil eye' was just flavour text.
