Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Technically (I think), only actions on your turn, but go ahead and take a move action.

Marianne charges forward and enlarges herself just before striking at the witch. Towering over he foes she waits for one of the fools to try shooting within the range of her great spear.

Longspear: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19 Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 18

Jon moves up behind Marianne, hoping the tiger can distract the archers a little longer.

Fastenhym follows Izoki behind cover.

Fastenhyme and Izoki take cover!

Rapunzel fires an arrow but doesn't have the range zeroed in yet.

Heh, deja vu

Marianne strides forward, while growing larger and stabs the woman, impaling her with the longspear! The woman goes limp on the spear.
Full hp to -4

Jon moves up toward the fray.

The Snowmasks move forward to attack! They throw javelins at the archers.

Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Thanking Desna, and Fastenhyme, that she is not a pin cushion Marianne dwindles back down to zize and races behind her foes to flank with Rapunzel. She then executes a clumsy thrust.

Longspear: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Izoki fires and misses by mere inches!

Rapunzel attacks, but misses as well!

Jon stalks forward and lays a tremendous blow on a Shadow Lodge agent!

Marianne shrinks and attacks, but misses!

Fastenhyme!

I posted 5 hours ago, was there a server reset?

Fastenhyme uses a wand of Magic Missile.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"C'mon, hit someone Izoki! Your friends need you."

The Snowmask charge in and attack!

Seeing their leader down, the Shadow Lodge agents turn and flee!

Out of Combat!

Unless you want to chase them down. Secondary condition was the primary condition! Yay for 2 PP

Retrieving Jedrek’s Shard from the fallen woman. Hiryla hands it over to the party. "What will you do with it?" The chief asks. "It should be replaced and reburied."

What will you do?

Marainne frowns, "Seems a shame to let such a beautiful weapon go unused, would your Huscarl King not have preferred to see it go on protecting the people he did? As far as I am concerned it is yours to do with as you see fit, but I feel it would better serve his memory if it served to protect you."

Rapunzel nods in agreement with Marianne, "This belongs to your people, not ours."

"Shadow Lodge came for it once, probably come back for it again." Jon frowns at the idea of just putting it back. "Keep it or bury it, but better bury it somewhere else. Somewhere deep and strong."

"I hope it stays in your possession to honor and remember your culture and ancestors."

"I agree - it belongs to you", Fastenhyme adds, "We came here for another reason, and thanks to your help, it is done."

Yay!

Hiryla takes the axe and with his clansman, returns to the keep to bury it. Some of the warriors climb above the keep and set off an avalanche, hiding the keep once more under tons of snow, ice, and rock.

Returning, he he tells the party that you are all now adopted members of the Snowmask tribe. Granting you a boon! The party follows the Kellids back to the village where your status of Snowmask Brothers and Sister is cemented by a ritual ceremony.

The End...

Returning to Absalom, Valsin, Drang, and some of the other Venture-Captains congratulate you on rooting out the Shadow Lodge menace and promise to take the information to the Decemvirate.

As things settle down, Valsin comes over to the group. "You don't look worse for the wear with all the time spent in those cold lands, but for your next mission, I have something else in mind. Osirion! You have plenty of warmth there!" He begins to laugh as he sees the look on everyone's faces. "Get some rest and restock. You ship leaves in two days!"

Chronicles will be sent out shortly. They're finished, I was just waiting on the axe decision.

As soon as everyone checks into the Destiny thread, I'll shut this one down.
