Flames of the Wicked (Inactive)

Game Master Fallen_Mage

Eri looked at her shoulder, "Eh, it's just a scratch. I'll be alright, it's nothing a bath in our pool can't fix. You ready to go back now?"

Ravan calmly strides into the ideal position as the hobgoblins focus on Aleister, "He gave you a chance." she says with a chuchkle as she unleashes a spray of hungry flames.

Burning hands DC 19 Reflex save: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 H1-H5

Reflex HG1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Reflex HG4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Reflex HG5: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Only one on the edge of the flame managed to not catch fire, but was still fairly wounded by them.

The ones that did become set aflame, tried to put them out. 2-5 Full-Round Action to extinguish.

Those that were not, attacked.

HG1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
HG6: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

HG12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

HG7 Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Nope, full on miss.

The one facing Gio and his wolf managed to land a blow.

Damage to Gio: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Round 3:

Ravan, Aleister, HG, Gio (and Wolf)

Taking Eri's hand, "Yes."

Making your way back to your room, you find something on the table. It appears to be a wrapped package with a note. If an Elf wishes to travel with a girl.

Thems fightin' words to a Drow.

Eri looks at the note confused, "This can't be right. There's no "elf" here. What's inside love?"

Ignoring the slight, of which she would have words with a man later, the Drow opened the package.

"What is it?" Eri asks with youthful excitement in her voice.

Within the gift wrap, is a beautifully carved mask with similar facial features to Tehanna.

The Drow looked at it closely, "I'm not entirely sure."

"Oohhh...oooo....I think I know. Sun hurts your eyes right? Maybe this will protect your eyes so you can go with us. Put it on, put it on!" She says nearly bouncing on thed balls of her feet in excitement.

With slight trepidation, Tehanna carefully put the mask on. In a single moment, it blended into her face and her ebony skin shifted to the well toned white that you have seen with other elves. Her stark white hair darkened to a raven black, and her blood-red pupils changed to a vibrant green. If you did not know better, you'd swear she was a surface Elf.

Looking at her hands and hair, she then said, "Well, this would make it easier to walk around in your cities."

Quickly, she looked in a mirror. with a sigh of relief, the Drow said, "Well at least my face is the same, other than this horrid sickly color."

Eri puts a hand to her cheek, "It's just a disguise. I know who you are. We should go find Taqan and see if this will also protect your eyes from the sun." She stops and gives her a brief kiss, "It might fool those stupid humans, but no disguise could ever hide your beauty from me. I will always see you."

"Still," Tehanna said as she removed the mask and became her ebony beautiful self once more, "I'd rather not wear this until need." Putting the mask back on the table, she left with Eri to find Taqan.

It didn't take long from the two of you to find him, as he was on his way down the hall to your room.

Without hesitation, he said, "A man is doing as a girl asks. Your companions have not returned yet."

She sighs, "Okay, I guess I'll go after them. That mask you gave to Tehanna....will it protect her eyes from the sun?"

Taqan shook his head, "She is who she is, a mask does not change that."

Eri let's out an exasperated sigh, "Then how is she supposed to go with me? I would think, that if you had the presence of mind to know that I would want her with me, and that she'd haved to bed disguised, I would think that itg would be fu<kijng common sense that her eyes would need protection from the sun. Figure it out, and fix it." She says, not bothering to hide her frustration.

His expression unchanged, Taqan simply replied in his usual even tone, "A man cannot alter the mask once it is made. To make another would require someone who no longer needs a face."

Gio and the wolf continue to battle the hobgoblin before them.

Wolf: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Gio: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18; Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7; Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The wolf disappears from the battle.

Eri growls, "I'm not asking you to alter the mask stupid, I'm asking for you to find a way for us to protect her eyes. Maybe something she can wear over the mask...or something like that. I'm not the fu<king brains of this outfit, so you figure it out. Do you understand what I'm saying, or do I need to use smaller words?"

EEEwwwwww....so if I'm understanding that correctly, making that mask required using someone's actual face? Also, I was wondering what the time difference is between where we're at, and where the others are. I don't know how long all that stuff took us, but you said it took them like three hours to get where they were....so I don't know when who is where now.

She sighs inwardly, she hated trying to explain things to people. If he had thought of making the mask so that Tehanna could travel with them, and he knew she was a drow, he should have done something to protect her eyes....but, Eri didn't understand anything about magic or how that stuff worked. It sounded like a pain in the ass. Sighing again she looks up at him while rubbing her temples, "Could you just...could you see if there's something that we can do about her eyes? I don't understand how this stuff works, but blending in with the surface people does no good if the sun hurts her eyes and she can't see. Just see what you can do okay?"

Tehanna was doing all she could to keep from smiling at watching Eri put his male in his place.

Taqan bowed his head, "A man will see what he can do."

As the wolf faded, the foe dropped.

Round 4:

Ravan, Aleister, HG, Gio (and Wolf)

You understand correctly. *evil smirk* As for the time difference, I figure they're about 30 minutes ahead of you.

So...like basically I would find them and they'd be like, "What you doing here Eri? Shouldn't you be taking care of your girlfriend? Why are magic items sometimes so icky?

Looking up at Tehanna a bit sheepishly she says, "Sorry love, I hate that you had to see me like that...but sometimes I get really aggravated with some of the servants. You would think that if he could know well enough that you're going to need to blend it, he could have just included everything in the one mask so we wouldn't have to worry about it. I don't know....that's why I don't worry with all this magic gobbledgook stuff. It's too much for my little brain to wrap around."

With Taqan out of sight, Tehanna pulled Eri into a kiss, then whispered, "Is it wrong that that got me going a little?"

She shakes her head, No....but I'm not sure what I did."

"Something about you going all alpha is just......exhilarating."

She gets a surprised look on her face, "I was...it was? I just...I just wanted him to do something right. It should have been common sense that your eyes would need protection, so I don't know why he made the stupid mask without it in the first place."

"Sudden bright light is an issue. I can deal with daylight if it comes normally, and that will get better as time goes on."

It is only a -1 to attacks and Perception checks after all.

Not like I knew that.

"Hhmph....if you say so, but I still want to wait and see what he comes up with. Why deal with discomfort if you don't have to?"

Placing a hand on her cheek, "Because you'll be with me."

Eri just sighs as she reverts back to her human skin coat. She knew when she was licked. Putting a hand over the one Tehanna had on her cheek she blushes, "Okay I get it....I just....I don't want your eyes tuo hurt if we can do something about it. I never want you to hurt....for any reason." She says, looking up into Tehanna's eyes with her own amber ones.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + (5) + 2 = 9

Aleister stabs at one of the Hobgoblins and dares the others to retaliate.

Seeing an opportunity to end this quickly, Ravan sidestepped and cast the same spell again.

Burning Hands DC 20: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 2) = 8

HG1 Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
HG2 Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
HG3 Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
HG4 Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

The Halfling dropped one of the bastards.

While the one that the Sorceress caught on fire attempted to put out the flames, he quickly succumbed.

The remaining three realized they were at a tactical disadvantage. Throwing down their weapons and raising their hands, "We yield."

Combat Over

The Drow smiled, "Let's see if we can find the top of this place. I want a better view."

Eri nods and smiles up at her love, "Okay."

Aleister sheaths his weapon and speaks to the last of the hobgoblins."Bring ons na u meester."

The Hobgoblin pointed to one of the crispy corpses, "Dit sal hom wees."

Sheeiit....we're not the good guys bro. Lol Are they of much use now? I know what I would do, but you guys more suave than me.

Aleister sighs at the annoyance. "Jy het my alreeds gesê jy het 'n Hoof. Probeer dus nie nou vir my lieg nie."

Eri & Tehanna: After a little bit, the two of you find your way to the top the of the fortress. The view was absolutely amazing, and confirmed you were on an island. The top of the fortress was also fairly well armed, or at least used to be, as the ballistas have long fallen into disrepair.

"'N Meester is nie 'n Hoof nie. Jy moet spesifieke halfpint wees," He responded in a bit of a defiant tone.
