"We can do that," Tahata replies. "It's colder than our normal hunting grounds, but we've scouted for large groups before. We'd need some way of informing the group if we find anything though. Can your magic do that?" he asks.

don't go too far ahead, Tahata. we can't travel very quickly in the snow, if you get in trouble or are spotted we don't want to be too far away to hear your call for help. hopefully these tarps will help hide us some.

Durian helps secure the tarps, but does not have any other specific prep that he can do to help. he will have his shield and a javelin at the ready as they start making the way through the pass.

"We shan't," Tahata replies. "Maitoh and I won't be able to hold for long if we meet any giants, so we'll make sure not to move too far from help."

Ulf is more confident with the heros playing a larger roll and the caravan gets back into gear, its naturally slow gear. Tahata scouting ahead seems a good plan and the fist day passes without incident.

The second day things get underway and there is a bit of a change. Under the sound of the wind Tahata is first to hear a rumbling sound and by the time Durian hear it he can also feel a small quake though the ground. The animal pulling the wagons are clearly getting nervous and shying away as a creature burst from the ground looking for a quick meal of their flesh.

The huge, armor-plated, creature’s toothy maw gapes wide as a fin-like dorsal plate rises between its shoulders.

Know Arcana DC22:

A bullett, is a magical beast with decent armor that attacks with bite and claws. It has a pounce like attack and its bite is particularly deadly.

"Look what's coming for dinner!" Loren shouts.

"It's a bulette. It's faster than it looks and it's got a nasty bite."

He jumps down from the wagon and casts Mirror Image on himself.

"Then we need to be faster than we look!" Ayame said before she snapped her fingers and the whole team felt a bit more, jittery.

Haste to all!! Enjoy

Durian jumps to action, ready to attack the beast. "Whaoh, what did you do, Ayame? this is incredible!

from his position in the wagon he can't charge, but he gets down and throws a javelin at the monster

Tahata barely has time to react to the rumbling before a huge beast emerges from the frozen ground. Snow and soil pour from it's grey hide as it opens it's huge maw to reveal massive teeth. Tahata keeps Maitoh by his side and uses his magic to strengthen them both before entering the fray.

Loren adds to his defense while Ayame gives everyone a death wish coffee caffeine buzz. Thanks to the burst of speed from Ayame Durian manages to jam a javelin into the side of the creature.

Tahata, separated a little from the party, reacts by buffing up himself and his companion.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

The bulette, feeling the javelin, leaps into the air hoping to red the dwarf into bloody chunks. Its lands a little awkwardly and cannot follow up with its multiple claw attacks!

What a time for a natty 1! He had a DC20 to pounce and attack with for claws!

As the bulette moves towards the others Tahata takes a moment to channel his magic into Maitoh. He moves his hand across the wolf's jaw, muttering words of power passed down through his family for generations. Maitoh's teeth become sharper and take on an almost metallic glint.

Tahata sends Maitoh into the fray with a swift command then follows up with his spear at the ready.

Tahata - Standard Action to cast strong jaw on Maitoh, Free Action to handle Maitoh, Move Action to move 30ft.
Maitoh - Move Action to move 40ft, Standard Action to attack with a flank from Durian.

Durian shifts slightly out of the way as the land shark lands right next to him, almost catching him with its nasty claws

He sees the beast react to the wolf behind it, and tries to press the advantage, striking at the beast several times quickly, looking for something soft to punch

"Loren, this might be one of the times to use your gift." Ayame said as she drew Suishen and moved in.

Lauren's snowball strike true on the creature shattering off its tough hide but causing decent damage. I moved you back five feet to be out of its reach

Maitoh follows up the snowball with a vicious bite that would normally not be enough to trip the creature but it is easy to trip what is DEAD!!!

Impressive folks.

The others stood with attacks ready but hold their attack.

Ulf was half off the wagon to come and aid and softly chuckles.

"Well guess I will just get back in the wagon. Seems you folks out class me in a scuffle by quite a bit now. We might be able to get some meat off that thing if we take a little time. Never bad to have extra supplies."

If the party agrees and aids with the butchering there are bit that can be used over your travels and the cold will keep it fresh. The butchering will take the rest of the day and you would get moving again in the am.

Either way you get moving again either that day or the next and continue though the Rimethirst Mountain's pass. Eyes open and watching.

At one point you get quiet start as a large winged shaped flies over, circles once and continues on its way. At the end of that day Ulf informs you it will only be a couple more days in the pass.

Durian agrees that it is worth the time to process the animal as they might not see a lot of good game on their journey. he will help with the skinning and prepping of the meat
survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

as they travel, Durian looks at the winged shape overhead, and tries to determine what it might be.
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

no knowledge checks to help ID it, but maybe can get a closer look...

Tahata rewards Maitoh with an ear rub as the group gathers around the fallen bulette. "I agree - no sense in wasting food or other materials in an environment like this." Tahata stabs his spear point first into the frozen ground and draws his knife to begin preparing the carcass.

As the caravan continues Tahata and Maitoh take their turn on watch or scouting ahead of the wagons as needed, keeping an eye out for any danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"I'll make room on the wagon for the food!" Ayame said as she skipped over to move some things aside and find something to store the food in properly.

However she paused when she saw the large winged creature above them.

Kn: Nature?: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 3 = 8

The creature was pretty high up but you would guess a drake for where you were. Clouds really prevent a solid identification but the shape was right. Probably just hunting, probably.

The time passes slowly but uneventfully and after two days you see the end of the pass. Ulf explains a bit about what you are seeing.

"This is where the giants use to live, long ago, before moving up into the mountains. You seem them wandering to the north some times but we keep a wide berth. Here there are only rumors of one that still lives. A giant magic user of some sort it is said."

Around dusk, a good distance off the road, you do see movement of a large form but it does not appear to be approaching.

We should keep our distance from whatever that is. if we don't stir up trouble, maybe we can avoid more fights in this pass. certainly doon't want to draw the attention of a giant wizard...

"I agree. We should stay away from anything that might call this place home, I suspect there will be few creatures that would not overpower us in this environment," Tahata says, nodding at Durian's assessment. "We will need to keep a careful watch tonight, the end of the pass might well attract the attention of dangerous beings."

"How much traffic is there on this route?" Loren asks.

"Shouldn't we blend in with the rest of the traffic?"


Female Human, Minikan Bard 7| 49/49 HP | AC 20 | T 14 | F 17 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Init +2 | Per +8 | | Fort +3 | Ref +6 | Will +4 | +1 Wakizashi +7

"I thought we where in the off season." Ayame said as she looked to Loren. "That is why we had such a hard time finding a guide."

"Though I am glad we did, because it allowed us to save you Ulf!" She bard said with a smile to the guide.

"Oh, and I agree we shouldn't go looking for trouble. Live and let live works well. Like with that Winter Wolf Skyjin."


Male Know Checks | Iron Gods Map ---- Jade Regent Maps ------ Reign of Winter Maps

Ulf nods at what is said.

"Even at the busy season you do not see a lot of traffic, a few each trip. At the best of times it can be dangerous. Staying to the path is best, lets just hope that big fella stays off of it."

The night passes mostly quiet. At one point you hear a great growl followed by minutes of howling off in the distance, from the direction you say the large form. It is loud and enough to briefly interrupt the sleep of most. Not mechanically.

In the morning Ulf explains that you are coming to a fork in the path and a decision must between two paths.

The primary route of the Path of Aganhei runs northwest through the Erutaki lands of Hasanaliat, skirting the Bearleg Lakes and the Gaarjuk Hills. North of the hills, the path follows the Taraska River through the high tundra of the Hoarwell March toward the town of Unaimo, the last major trading village before the path climbs onto the High Ice through the Koumssa Gap. This path is easier and generally faster, but the lands it crosses are more inhabited, potentially exposing the caravan to unfriendly eyes.

As an alternative route, the caravan could head due north through the Gaarjuk Hills, cutting off a wide bend of their route and avoiding more “civilized” lands. However, the hill country is far more rugged and remote, with fewer chances to resupply or seek help if trouble should ensue. The caravan would still need to ford the Taraska, with greater difficulty than along the main route, and link back up with the Path of Aganhei before it swings north through the Koumssa Gap and climbs onto the High Ice.

Durian voices his opinion that the group should follow the more populated route. while there may be more attention, he feels that this is less of a concern than running out of supplies.

enemies may be tracking us and try to stop us. mercenaries or Oni or giants we can fight. you can't fight the cold. Nature always wins that fight. we have to have access to supplies to stand a chance if anything goes wrong.


Male N Human (Shoanti) Hunter (Totem-Bonded) 7 | HP: 62/62 | AC: 18 (Tch 12, Fl 16) | CMB: +9, CMD: 21 | F: +8 (+5 vs cold weather), R: +8, W: +6 | Init: +6 | Perc: +12, SM: +2 | Speed 30ft | Shared Strength 7/7 | Spells: 1st 5/5, 2nd 4/4, 3rd 1/1 | Maitoh - HP: 51/51, AC 22 (Tch 11, Fl 20), F: +7, R: +8, W: +5 | Default stats only - see stats spoiler for current status

"I agree with Durian. We can deal with attention, or we can disguise ourselves to avoid it, but fording an ice-cold river with the caravans or becoming stuck without no access to help might be the end of us," Tahata says solemnly. "A faster journey and a safer journey are likely to make things easier for us."


Female Human, Minikan Bard 7| 49/49 HP | AC 20 | T 14 | F 17 | CMB +6 | CMD 19 | Init +2 | Per +8 | | Fort +3 | Ref +6 | Will +4 | +1 Wakizashi +7

"Actually with magic Nature doesn't always win!" Ayame pointed out as she held up a wand. "However, the less we have to fight the elements the better. I think our choice should depend on how well supplied we are, if we get stuck without food there will be little we can gather and I don't like what that'll lead to..."

"Maybe taking the risk of more chances to stop is worth the risk? It would mean we're less likely to run out of food." Ayame mentioned with a sigh. "I say I agree, we risk it. Take the primary route, a chance to keep ourselves better supplied, even if it is more well known. We'll just have to be more on edge."


Male Know Checks | Iron Gods Map ---- Jade Regent Maps ------ Reign of Winter Maps

Ulf nods along with those who express and opinion.

"Yep, what you say makes sense. The more trod path it is. We have enough supplies that it should not matter if we are delayed here and there, no real fear of starving unless there is major mishap I would say."

You travel about half day before reaching the point that the paths diverge. With a command the caravan moves northwest along the more developed path. You travel across a wide tundra basin for a full day and set up camp for the night.

On the third watch a sound is heard. The crunching of snow under what sounds like very heavy feet. One of the party was on watch at this point and the footsteps seem to be moving towards the caravan.

i guess we should probably set up watch order at some point! since I'm here I'll go ahead and say that Durian is on watch to move things along

Late that night Durian is sitting by the fire watching his companions sleep. it is cold, but not unbearable yet.

he hears something coming towards them. he doesn't wait to go find out what it is, he reaches over and shakes Tahata awake.

quietly he says something is out there, heading this way. sounds big. wake the others, I'm going to take a peek

he moves a little ways away from the fire, and looks out into the night with his darkvision.

Tahata wakes quickly at Durian's warning. He rouses Maitoh from his slumber, the wolf's nocturnal instincts readying him easily, before moving quietly through the dark to find Loren and Ayame, spear in hand and ears listening intently. "Something large is coming towards us," he warns them quietly, "make yourselves ready."

Some warning given a cloud shifts and moonlight streams down revealing an enormous brown and grey bear stepping out from a copse of trees. Its fur ripples as it shakes off a bit of snow that feel from a tree and looks at the circle of wagons.

Shifting forward it bellows a challenge and moves towards the wagons.

Seeing the massive bear emerge from the treeline Tahata hops down from the wagon and leans down to push his gloved hand down through the snow to the frozen earth below. Muttering an incantation to the spirits of the earth he calls down a rain of rocks and ice onto the bear, scattering the ground with irregular lumps that should slow the beast's advance.

Maitoh follows instinctively to stand beside his companion, ready to protect the group should the bear approach, and Tahata lays his hand across the wolf's shoulders, bonding the two with the strength of the pack.

Tahata - Move Action to move 20ft, Swift Action to use Shared Strength for +1 natural armour, Standard Action to cast stone call, dealing 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 bludgeoning damage to the bear and causing the area inside the circle to become difficult terrain.

Durian hops down from the wagon and prepares for the bear to charge, readying his longspear

readied attack with longspear, bracing for a charge

readied attack:

longspear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
damage, brace bonus: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (8, 3) + 16 = 27

He yells at the bear, trying to draw its attention.
Hey bear! over here! yeah I'm talking to you, you mangy runt!

hopefully the noise will either scare the creature away or make it come after Durian while his allies get into the fight.

Loren jumps down from a wagon and casts Mirror Image on himself.

Images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Pelted by rocks the bear bellows and finds it speed greatly slowed. Moving through the rocks it cannot do what it wants, charge, but instead does its best to close the gap.

Loren steps forward to clear his sightline and unleashes a cone of blasting snowballs at the giant bear.

flurry of snowballs: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 2) + 4 = 21

As the bear approaches Tahata quickly channels his magic into Maitoh and himself, strengthening them to take on the huge beast. Once the last of the arcane syllables leave his lips he orders Maitoh forwards to attack the bear before it can reach the caravans. "Maitoh, hücum!" he instructs and the wolf leaps forward, fangs bared, as Tahata follows along behind with his spear held ready.

Tahata - Standard Action to cast bull's strength on himself and Maitoh using Improved Spell Sharing, Move Action to move 15ft at half speed, Free Action to handle Maitoh.

not able to step in closer with the rough ground, Durian stabs at the bear with his spear twice

longspear, PA: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 2 = 15

Ayame quickly moved up to join her friends. Had to double move to get in range of anything so that is my turn.

Snowballs connect a moment before Maitoh lands a savage bite on the bear causing to to yelp. The wolf attempts to pull the bear down but it is to big to be moved.

Durian misses twice with his spear while Ayame repositions.

The wolf is the closes trheat and such takes a full attack from the enraged bear.

Bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Grab: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Guessing the wolf is now grappled?

Loren winds up with his right arm as if to throw something at the bear.

As he releases, a ball of frozen snow appears and flies through the air to strike it.

snowball: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 4 = 13 (touch ac)

damage: 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 1, 3) + 5 = 15

Durian takes advantage of the bear's focus on Maitoh to slip around behind the large bear. He has been watching how the wolf is trained to work with his master and has an idea of how he could do it too.

"Maitoh, now!" he says, and swings with a big punch, but the lack of practicing working with the wolf makes it not very effective...

swift action to use martial flexibility to gain the "Outflank" feat. move to flank

Maitoh snarls as the bear rakes him with it's claw and the two animals are drawn together in a rolling grapple. Maitoh bites back at the bear, his powerful jaws snapping. Tahata strides into the melee, his spear stabbing into the bear in time with Durian's attacks from behind.

Maitoh - Standard Action to attack the bear.
Tahata - Move Action to move 5ft through difficult terrain, Standard Action to attack the bear (with the benefit of Outflank thanks to Durian).

Maitoh bite, grappled: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 = 27

Sorry for the long silence, just before my grandfather's funeral I got a new job offer and we're about to close on our house so... It's been a busy July. I'll be working two jobs till after we close.

With the others attacking, Ayame's voice pierced through the field as her singing filled their hearts.

Moved and +2 inspired courage! I'll get to attack soon I swear! XD

Ended up out of town this week and next week. Spotty internet on the farm.

Loren lands a ball of snow and ice that makes the bear wince. Even with Ayame's help Durian cannot connect but Maitoh and Tahata both do strike true.

Combat Over

Combined with the snowball they bring the bear down, it shutters and almost deflates in death, its hair seeming to hand even loser. There is not a lot to eat in the ice and snow.

Ulf strides forward.

"Well you all handled that quite easily."

He moves to look at the bear.

"Should be some good eating in that at least. Hide could be worth something too, its lose so easy to skin. Give me a hand if you can. Best get comfortable we burning the day cleaning this up but can't waist it."

The day and night past easily enough and you with the caravan are back on the way.

One day passes then another.

Mid way though the third day after the bear Ulf holds up the caravan.

"Just ahead we will hit some small hunting lodges. Mostly empty this time of year but during season they are used by Erutaki and southern hunters. Weeks of hunting and skinning in the summer."

It take another hour until you see them. Spaced out.

Spoiler:

Tahata and Ayame notice that one of the cabins has a small trail of smoke, as though from a cook fire, rising and a glint of light in the window. There are also others that look empty all scattered over a few hundred yards.

Tahata rules Maitoh's fur, making it clear to the wolf that he was proud of how he worked. He stabs his spear into the frozen ground before pulling out his knife and helping Ulf with the work of skinning and breaking down the bear carcass. There is little meat for such a large creature, but the hide is in good condition despite the bear's obvious struggles with getting enough food.

Some days later Tahata spots that one of the supposedly empty hunting lodges has signs of occupation. "Smoke rising from that one, and it looks like there's a light inside," Tahata says. "We should stop the caravan here and go in on foot."

Durian checks over their wagons and talks with Ulf
Any supplies we're low on? we maybe could barter for some stuff if we are in need. should at least see who is here and introduce ourselves. don't want to run into hunters that aren't expecting us out there.

"Would normal hunters attack? Surely not?" Ayame asked curiously. It wasn't a shock the Bard from the city wouldn't understand too much.

"However it wouldn't hurt to hear news of the area. Those who live here would likely have information we could use no Ulf? With you and any information we'd be better off yes?"

"Probably not, but they might be very defensive if they think we're trying to take their catch from them," Tahata replies. "They might be willing to trade for information, there's nothing to lose from trying to barter with them."

Tahata leads the group off towards the occupied hut, looking about him for signs of danger, Maitoh padding silently along beside him.

Tahata Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
