Gren hops on Fenton and chases down the cattle as he can move quickly on Fenton.
Dragging Bear by the harness, "Come on Bear." as Ratel moves outside, he tells the others, "Let's move outside away from it and spread out the flasks."
Robert fights off the poison.
Nigel manages to hurl another alchemist fire at the swarm, and kills a whole lot of wasps.
Robert and Nigel are stung by the wasps but are not distracted by them nor affected by the poison.
Hedran move and grabs a flask from the bag of holding.
That should be his round.
Nigel manages to finish off the swarm with the alchemist fire. Grenwold does manage to find the missing Auroches, but now they're grazing in the woods, refusing to enter the keep.
Father Noelan comes back and channels one burst of energy after seeing the swarm dissipated.
"Thank you father. Do you all mind if I keep this on my person?" he holds the flask in the air.
"We should all keep a flask each, I think. You could have told us earlier you had them. Not like they're doing any good sitting in the bag of holding."Father Noelan chides Robert.
"Except that I didn't know beforehand that we'd run into a swarm of wasps."
"True that, but its always good to be prepared for eventualities."Father Noelan comments.
Grenwold ties up the Aurochs to a tree and says to each "Don't run off, the woods are dangerous too" and then heads back. When he reaches the keep, he nods at Noelan. "Sound advice. I can't imagine why I didn't have anti-swarm gear, big oversight on my part."
The Auroches flick their ears at him but other then that allow Grenwold to tie them to a tree, though they snort in the direction of the bush Vardalel is hiding in. Vardalel decides discretion is the way to deal with large hooved animals and chooses not to come out of hiding from his bush.
Nigel realizes that the skinstitch is clothed in tattered gray-and-green Chernasardo Ranger ponchos and finds the remains of the wasp nest of swarming on the Skinstitch.
As Father Noelan joins Nigel examining the Skinstitch, he blanches."Where did they get these ponchos - they're Chenarsado Ranger ponchos!"
Nigel does not find anything in the room,though there are doors to the north, east and south and a staircase leading upwards. There are voices, muffled by the wood, coming from the eastern door.
"Next time we camp we should take about some other eventualities we should be prepared for."
"To be honest, this part of Fangwood is alien to me too. I haven't gone far from Phaendar for ages, besides my memory isn't quite what it used to be."Father Noelan admits."May also be a little hard since Misthome also has limited resources."He adds.
Robert puts away his Longsword and readies his Longbow.
"Since this fort seems to be infested with Fey, I might as well use what works best."
This functional kitchen has heavy, wooden shelves filled with utensils and basic supplies. A large stove occupies the southeastern corner of the room. Opposite it, a narrow set of stairs leads down.
Two handsome men with the furry legs of a goat and a set of curling ram horns extending from their temples are arguing with each other.
"The auroch կոկորդը պետք է տապակված" One argues.
The auroch knuckle should be fried.
"Ոչ, դա պետք է լինի շոգեխաշած:" The other retorts.
No it should be stewed!
Nigel and Robert recognize the creatures as Satyrs. They have DR 5/cold iron and can play their pipes.
Pipes (Su)
A satyr can focus and empower his magic by playing haunting melodies on his panpipes. When he plays, all creatures within a 60-foot radius must make a Will save or be affected by charm person, fear, sleep, or suggestion, depending on what tune the satyr chooses. A creature that successfully saves against any of the pipes’ effects cannot be affected by the same set of pipes for 24 hours, but can still be affected by the satyr’s other spell-like abilities as normal. The satyr’s use of his pipes does not count toward his uses per day of his spell-like abilities, and if separated from them he may continue to use his standard abilities. The pipes themselves are masterwork, and a satyr can craft a replacement with 1 week of labor.
They have the following spell like abilities.
At will—charm person, dancing lights, ghost sound, sleep, suggestion
1/day—fear, summon nature’s ally III

Nigel interjects:
” Ինչ է նշանակում կողմի կողմից: Ժողովուրդը մեզ հրավիրեց Red Rock Revel- ից հետո եւ նրա հարազատները գլորում էին եւ սկսեցին հոբբիլները դուրս հանել: Նա չի պատրաստվում չափազանց ուրախ լինել, պարզելու համար, որ դու խանգարում ես նրանց:” One of the Satyrs note.
What do ya mean by the party’s over? Halk invited us to the Red Rock Revel after him and his kin rolled in and kicked the hobgoblins out. He’s not going to be too happy to find out you’ve been bothering them.
” Եվ հորս, եթե դու մեզ կոտորեք, ինչ պիտի ուտենք:” The other asks Nigel.
And dude, if you kick us out, what are we gonna eat?
|
|
Nigel shrugs apologetically.
” Բայց մենք ծույլ կռունկներ ենք եւ պակաս ազատ սնունդ: Եվ բացի Linder- ի նստած, շատ սննդամթերքի վրա, նկուղում, այստեղ շատ բան չկա: Եթե մենք կարողանայինք մթերքից դուրս գալ, ապա մենք գործ ունենք:” One of the Satyrs answer.
But we’re lazy bums and like sponging off free food. And besides Linder’s sitting on pretty much all the food down there in the cellar, there isn’t much here. If we could take some food off the cellar and a barrel of wine, then we’ll have a deal.
” Ահա մի քանի մեռած մարդիկ կան, որտեղ մենք գտել ենք այստեղ, երբ տեղը վերցրինք: Ուտելը մարդկանց իսկապես իմ ճաշակն է, բայց նորից կարող է գոմբոբլինները հոգ տանել այդպիսի բան:” The other Satyr adds.
Oh there are some dead humans in the bins, we found em here when we took over the place. Eating humans isn’t really my taste, but again maybe the hobgoblins cared for that kind of thing.

Nigel nods.
He then frowns.
Nigel then turns to the others.
"Zey are not malicious. If ve take care of someone named 'Linder' down in ze cellars, vho has been hogging ze food and vine, and zen give zem some, zey vill leave."
He then heads for the entrance to the cellars.
The Satyrs gesture at one of the bins.
The party is greeted by the smell of rotting flesh and finds 4 swollen human bodies clad in tattered rags inside, their throats slit, defensive wounds on their arms and hands.
” Linder- ը Հալկի կրտսեր եղբայրն է, նշանակում է եւ շեղում: Նա իր ամբողջությամբ պահում է մի ամբողջ ալկոհոլ:” One of the Satyrs replies.
Linder is Halk’s youngest brother, he’s mean and shrewish. He keeps a whole stash of alcohol all to himself.
This low-ceilinged cellar is crammed with bags, boxes and barrels. Stairs ascend along the northern wall, and a stout door leads to the southwest. A large chest stands out among the food, spices and sundries, with an inscription on it.There is a door to the southwest and a ring of keys hangs on a hook near the cell door.
Stay out! This means you!
A korred with a broad chest, thin beard and unusually small arms and legs paces up and down the room. He glares at the party with red-rimmed eyes, ” Hoi, ինչ եք անում այստեղ:”, then moves up to Nigel, trying to entangle him with his beard, before clubbing him.
Hoi you, what you doing here? Trying to steal my liqueurs thieves?
Nigel is not entangled by the beard, and the club blow lands harmlessly on his breastplate.
"Օ՜, ոչ, վրեժը շարունակվում է հաջորդ 100 տարիների ընթացքում:" Linder answers as he dodges Nigel's strike.
Oh no, the revel is going on for the next 100 years! Or at least till the spirits run out.
"More of them."
Robert can't do anything while the rest of the group is in front of him.
Hedran uses his flight hex and flies of the firball.
Linder clubs Hedran as he squeezes his way past and catches him on his shin.
Peaking over Nigel's shoulder he makes a face at the odd little man, hoping to distract him and aid Nigel.
The rest of the party delays as there is no space in front.
Linder tries to entangle Nigel with his beard, then clubs him.
Nigel is entangled by his beard, then clubbed on the shoulder.
Cast frostbite not threatened so I avoid the concentration check and 5ft step.
------------------------------------------------------------
Hedran's icy blue blade cuts into Linder's back.
Linder dodges the second swing.
Robert moves. "Ratel, tell Bear to swap with me."
Nigel manages to poke Linder in his ribs and he grunts in pain.
Nodding to Robert, Ratel pushes Bear away, "Bear, let Robert up here." he then waits to see what can be done.
Robert shoots Linder in his thigh
Linder uses his beard to try entangle both Hedran and Nigel.
Nigel is entangled by the beard though Hedran ducks out of the way. Linder then tries to club the entangled Nigel but clangs off his breastplate.
