GM Kiora's Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Kiora Atua

I've gone ahead and added Ary's summary on brimorak and schir to the campaign tab in case anyone needs future reference.

It froze multiple times and then I had to go. Here goes nothing!

Good luck! :D :D

Godspeed, Markus. :P

All the pieces fall into place! Now we see how things turn out :o

I predict more fireballs and ambushes.

"It's raining Schirs, halle... Wait, that's bad isn't it?"

Oh, random question!

Is Hinagiku aware that demons and oni are entirely different kinds of entities? I know she uses the terms interchangeably, so I was just wondering.

I imagine she's just using it as the Tien word for demons, as opposed to the oni type.

Actually, having never met the oni monster type, she believes that they are the same. This is made worst by the language confusion (oni translating as demon).

Ah, okay, I figured it was something like that! :)

In any case, it's not as confusing as the daemon vs. demon thing. :P

Daemons are things that run on Unix boxes in the background, demons are outsiders who are determined to corrupt and kill you. Or at least that's how it went until Pathfinder decided there weren't enough kinds of evil outsiders :P

Question: If I charge Chaleb, does haste give me a second attack or do I still only get one?

Nope, haste only gives an attack when you make a full attack action. :)

Still gives a bonus to hit and AC and reflex though!

This was the fight where your F2F group had issues with a flying creature, isn't it? :o

Nope :)

To be fair, it was nasty for its CR. I haven't decided if I'll run that encounter with you guys, yet.

I probably will. It'd be the first fight you guys ran into of the day so you'd have all the tricks :p

Got it. Let's do this thing. I think we have enough tricks to take down one flying demon though.

Is Chaleb's damage die supposed to be a d20? Also, Parrying that sh*t.

Parry (Charge, Heroism, Bless, Haste): 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 38

Really good time to parry that s~#* too :p

'Holy crap, when did Chaleb become a level 20 monk?' XD

Is Chaleb's damage die supposed to be a d20? Also, Parrying that sh*t.

[dice=Parry (Charge, Heroism, Bless, Haste)] 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 1

Roleplay it out for me plz :3

What do you think he was doing out in that cave for all those days? We may not have seen it, but I suspect training montage ;)

Methinks he was doing this.

Wilson was his mentor of course ;o

Did Chaleb also get away from your Face to Face group?

Or did they meet up with Hosilla here? :0

They still haven't bumped into Hosilla again!

Chaleb did not get away from them. Here's their journal:

Black Wing is destroyed; only the facade remains. Iomede hears a crusader named Chaleb shouts “Stack the f+#$ing books better!” and ventures to investigate. Chaleb does not speak in return when yelled for. They open the doors to the Great Hall, the last remaining portion of Black Wing that still stands. Inside they see Chaleb with two Tieflings standing over 5 cowering students. The crusader is commanding them to stack books in a circle, but does not seem to realize there are not enough books to complete it.

Chaleb proclaims that the demons have taken the city and working for them is the only way to survive now. The party’s appeals fall on deaf ears and a fight begins. One of the Tieflings executes a hostage before the heroes can react. Before any more innocents die the Tieflings are killed and Chaleb is forced into submission. Begging for his life the party captures him so that he may face a trial for his crimes.

Fenna one of the wizard students being held hostage tells the heroes that Black Wing was destroyed by a man made of worms that used magic and enslaved demons to smash the buildings. She suspects that he took several important artifacts while moving through. The Worm Man killed all of the nearby Riftwardens. She also tells Iomede that Master Quednys was last seen near St. Clydwells and the Kite has been destroyed and the Wardstone along with it.

Hosilla escaped during the fight with Chaleb.

Gah, one of the children got the axe? D: That's terrible!

Yeah, that's why Hosilla got away :P

I believe they kicked the door down, and tried to appeal to Chaleb's better nature (which... he had none), the tiefling told them to f$!$ off or a kid eats it.

They didn't f#&# off, so readied CDG it was :P

You guys handled the hostage situation really well. But Iomede was roleplaying being really naive about it all. I believe he heard Chaleb's voice, and I told him he recognized him as a crusader, and he assumed it was a misunderstanding.

He's not naive about that kinda stuff anymore haha.

That is truly unfortunate. I hope it wasn't our tiny tiefling friend.

To be honest, we got super lucky with the library encounter. If Val and Li'an had slightly worse luck going in alone...

;~; which kid got the axe? :(

non-sequitur: I haven't played league of legends in a long while. They basically fired their entire lore department a few years back and... they lost me with the changes. Their old lore folks wanted to tell a story. The new one just wants to sell you things. You know how it works.

Even still, I absolutely love the artwork, and music, and stuff. Their Art Department remains pretty amazing. That being said, the newest champion is amazing, conceptually. And here are two reasons why:

Fanart
and
Music

Just look at those themes go! Look at those masks! I NEED ANOTHER SUMMONER now.

Haha, don't know! I didn't give them different names and stuff until I ran it for you guys.

I'm less descriptive in f2f. I found that big long descriptions get forgotten anyway. Or worse, distract from something important. And I usually restrict things to 1 NPC talking in a scene anyway. So Fenna was their representative :0

Also, Iomede was a riftwarden student (he was the summoner), making the encounter more significant. Though sadly he didn't include that in his journal :(!

His first scene in the campaign was winning a summoning duel vs Fenna, pokemon style during Armasse ;D

Nifty! I especially like the theme piece.

Didn't ever have a chance to get into LoL, none of my friends ever really started playing it, and it seems like something that would be much more entertaining to play with other people, instead of randomly grouping. Heroes of the Storm is the same way.

Edit: I imagine it's a lot harder to keep track of all the NPC's if you don't get a chance to RP them enough to make them distinct. Otherwise it's just a list of names of people they never get to know.

Yep!

It's funny to me what doesnt get into their journals, sometimes.

Like, while they were fighting in Blackwing, Aravashnial laid on the ground and sobbed. Because his mental state was pretty messed up by that point, and none of my f2f PCs are the nurturing type ;)

Poor Aravashnial. At least our Aravashnial is happyish :)

XD happyish

I'm sure Isilme makes him very happy ;)

Writing goat jokes is HARD dammit. How am I supposed to make a Schir laugh? :p

Is there something Isilme needs to know about Aravashnial's gender? :o

Well, they understand every language, so it can't be that hard. :)

Also, I loved the jokes. :)

Also, Also... I am so glad we drew the Brimorak's fire. ;)

Imagine those crusaders eating that fireball... ;~;

Glad ya did! Wanted to do something more than just a long string of goat puns. :)

Yeah, that would've been bad. Although I wouldn't assume that we're out of hidden Brimoraks yet!

Also, weren't there four schirs at some point on the map? Or am I imagining things?

There were, but when I posted my % roll to summon more schirs changed from what was on preview O_o;

That is awesome. So very, very, very awesome. That is a perfect threat.
