Kings' patron - Worg Hunters

Game Master Mardavig

Raven listens to her friends debate about what to do next, seeing other founders across the water with what could possibly be the little boy they were looking for. She doesn't say much until she notices the interaction between Jenya and Carter. "Are we doing something to that village or are you two just making googly eyes at each other? "

Jenya blushes a bit. That's what I'm trying to figure out. If you've got some sort of magic that would help us communicate then please feel free.

On both the north and south sides the islet it 50 feet from land. It is perhaps 150 feet in diameter and only 10 feet above the river. The village boasts a wooden palisade 10 feet high around it's perimeter. The water is slow and placid, hard to say how deep it is since it is so murky.

The village is filled with people who took a drink from the cauldron's potion, which gives Bull's strenght +20...let's hope not.

"Slow water's a perfect place for bugs. I wouldn't be surprised seein' mosquitos around 'ere."

In response to Jenya's pantomime carter makes the following gestures

He urgently makes the throat slitting motion.
He reaches his arm out and pulls, followed by a finger to his muzzle (Carter is in furry-form now, an anthro-jackal).

Jenya scratches her head. I think he wants us to meet up with them... quietly

"If they were dead, yes. It would be much easier. .."Raven mutters as she removes a scroll and inkwell from her gear and begins to feverishly write something and hands it to Zartana. "Think you can hit just in front of their feet from here? "

Maybe Elangomat can carry it over and bring a response back? Jenya suggests.

Zartana fires the arrow, without difficulty.

so Elangomat (a possible messnger bird) will remain unused and you guys will just shoot arrows back and forth?

also like the no response from the witch to CWE's offer, I guess that CWE did not find anything of interest along these banks of the river?

post catching up will post some sort of action in a bit.

maybe Elangomat could deliver a message to them when suddenly *Twang!* an arrow flew across. or not...

White eagle shrugged, then there was some conversation and flailing of arms, perhaps I could have Elangomat.... *Twang* another arrow flies over or not...

looking toward the village on the isle. White Eagle tells Elangomat to fly over the village do not circle nor linger, merely pass over and approach from a different direction than where we are. then fly over toward west then circle around back to me. report all that you can see.

this is to not arrouse susspicion of a bird being a part of our group and possibly dismissed as just a bird flying past.

Elangomat perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

The drow grins
"No disrespect to your friend, i just think my arrows are faster"

She winks at him

Elangomat flies back to White Eagle and explains to him, in bird language, there are six mud huts around a larger hut. There are the remains of several large fire. There are also a pair of lizardfolk guarding the front entrance, they are crouched down behind the palisade, hiding from those outside.

Give me a bag with flasks of alchemist fire and watch the ensuing chaos.

Jenya will want to know if there are any other entrances.

Looking to jenya, without just cause i see no reason to begin a war. looking to the group,

we should meet with the others, hear what they have to say. But i will not begin a war without just cause.

CWE refers to many combats as war, in particular when attacking an encampment or settlement.

the lizard people are defending their home, they will not attack rigjt now, we can cross over to meet the others in relative safety. At least by what Elangomat has seen.

Elangomat flies over the village a few times and does not see any other entrances, but notes the palisade fence might be squeezed through by someone cimmited enough.

I'm sure Carter and the rest have just cause. Let's see what they say

Raven looks at Chief and then at Jenya with a raised eyebrow. "Chief, I respect your willingness to keep the peace between all people of this land, but if they have done something to harm that child or anyone else from our home, they have brought the war on themselves. We will see what Carter has to say, and then decide from there."

Chief nods, understanding raven. agreed, let us hear what Carter has to say.

White Eagle looks for a means to get to the other group.

perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 (+3 for familiar now nearby)

If the other side can't fire an arrow back like Zar can then maybe Elangomat can help 'em out

White Eagle looks to the other side, then to the group, but the arrow is faster and smaller he says with a tiny touch sarcasim.

he then sends Elangomat over to the other group. carrying an empty scroll case.

"And so we will wait, let's see if dey shoot an arrow prior to Elangomat's arrival."

He looks sideways at Alanya and Zartana.
I'm not askin, but dem gigglin was peculiar.

Elangomat returns a moment later carrying the scroll case, which contains a letter from Carter which says: "DANGER. Don't approach. Lizards killed Sebastian"

Looking around there are not obvious means of traversing the river, but perhaps in this boggy forest a few sizable logs could be found to float across to the other side.

Jenya's face hardens at the news. Far as I'm concerned they've signed their death warrant. We'll get the full story when we get over there. But I think we're going to war. We best coordinate. Leave the horses here, float across on those logs maybe.

"They killed one of our own? This is personal, not a war, personal. They take on one, they take all of us. We end this"
There was a dark feeling about the drow, her eyes narrow, angry, vengeful

Raven nods, after sighing heavily. " Slaying one of our own is indeed an act of war and indeed cries for personal vengeance. " She grips Ravenclaw tightly. " Let us make this quick."

So you guys are going to try to log across the river?

"Wait, 'old on. If Carter asks to stay away, dem lizards are dangerous, ok. But they are 1 party, as are we. We'd stand better chances as a whole, non?"

Pretty sure he wants us to join him so we can hit the bastards at the same time Kyras. If I got the measure of our fellow Founders right, they were going to do that anyway. Jenya says, methodically checking Misfire and making sure everything is loaded and ready to go.

Yeah I think log rolling unless anyone else has any better ideas, I'd like to hit the village from both sides at the same time but that'd be far too much to coordinate. What kind of rolls would be required to get across quietly this way?

White Eagle ponders the choices before him.

I agree, they bring war, and we shall end the war. But, I ask that we also wage war with Mercy. Spare children and innocents when we can.

White Eagle's eues sow that he knows the horrors that war brings. His request comes from pain and suffering he has seen.

He then assists in obtaining some means of crossing.

survival: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Elangomat will send a reply that we will joining them. CWE then makes an addendum to the message.

we will be joining you and we shall devise a plan of attack.

"Only those who take up arms will be dealt with, the rest we can have a talk to once we are done. And no, not slave taking, we will give them a choice. But now, now we focus on making sure we avenge our fallen"

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Jenya aids with helping to cross over as well. We are leaving our pack animals behind right?

You manage to turn up a few sizable logs and begin to float them across the mouth of the river. The current is so languid it's not a challenge to keep them moving where you want.

Doing to unseen will require Stealth checks. (I'll allow a group stealth check, meaning if the majority of the group succeeds, then the entire group succeeds.)

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
sigh....

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Kyra's nearly falls in the water, but someone catches him just before he takes a dip. With some care you are able to navigate your logs across to the other side.

feel free to join the foxes antlers over in their forum.

cool I didn't need to roll and mess up everything.. I guess White Eagle is so awesome he doesn't have to roll.

I really think it was just because enough of us passed the skill check that the whole group passed Chief

I know that but I just want to ham it up a little since my rolls are usually so bad I wonder if I am just rolling d10's instead of d20's

White eagle turns to the wolves to explain what he had found, producing the long-johns. this is the scent, will you help me track it down? he does not command the wolves rather asks for their help.

this is the last post White Eagle had regarding the wolves and tracking Grigori.(not the conversation with Turin

Why is it that i feel like White Eagle has no home group? I keep bouncing from thread to thread.

Arcadia...

"Arcadia? Never heard of it, then again we Numerians are far removed from the goings on outside our borders... Between the Technic league, raiders from the River Kingdoms and the technology scattered across the wastes we had enough on our plate..."

Turin's grimaces as he hears about Cheliax...

[b]"Now Chelexians I do know and disdain, anyone who relies so heavily on demons and gods for power is weak... And a slave to boot."

Turin stows away the device, "I am all for saving battery power but I'm concerned about this liar... You don't go making political trouble without some form of backing and this liar doesn't have the brains to be said backing..."

Good, then let us track his location together, It will, at the least, help your situation with the council.

The wolves take the scent, after recoiling in horror. They spend the day searching the area around Freewater and find that there is no trace of that scent leaving it.

They do however remember when that scent arrived in town, in their own wolf-language they named it the-scent-which-makes-noses-cry.

After a day of furtive searching from the wolves and no results Turin speaks...

"I believe it may be time for my methods Chief... Seeing that this "grigori" is effectively my meal ticket I can't afford to let him escape..."

Turin motions back to the settlement, "never done this particular magic before I will likely need some parchment for transcription..."

I kind of stopped posting as I thought we were waiting for Turin's device, but also I didn't want to detract from the kingdom management, seeing as how that was the majority of the players. If Turin wants to search for the missing workers that is fine, CWE is set on this Grigori fellow.

It is evident that our prey still resides withing the city.

turning to the wolves,

Ack forgot...

Turin will go into the city, acquire the necessary items and perform Blood Biography via the device...

Turin first scans the pants with the strange device and then points to a roughly square like slab of stone that he has set a wall...

The four questions are:

Who are you? (The name by which the creature is most commonly known)
What are you? (Gender, race, profession/role)
How was your blood shed? (Brief outline of the events that caused its wound, to the best of the victim's knowledge)
When was your blood shed?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/blood-biography

I'd love to answer these questions, but no one has produced any of Grigori's blood. While his long johns are stained, it is not with blood. Nor has anyone else found any of his blood lying about.

CWE is asking the wolves to help track, bringing a wolf into the town and starting at the inn.
