Can RARGHG examine the towers and see if there is anyway she can knock them down?
If she can’t knock them over, if she momentarily bloodrages to grow to gargantuan(so like 40ftish) could she reach up and grab/attack the archers?
All are options.
Free standing wooden towers.
Alright, RARGHG will attempt to knock over the tower by attacking the wooden supports with her scythe
"Right." Thoin said, from up high on his comrade's mount. "We need to let the townspeople know that this is a place to be safe. I think that my voice and stature be a mite too small for this task. Think you can get everyone's attention on this?"
Hearing the chaos, he will change in an ally into a Strix, one of the only winged humaniod races in Yggdrasil that wasn't a Monster. From there he flys towards the explosions.
[i]'Someone else has come to play, and Desseer will need information'[/l]
Once RARGHG attacks the tower, Kislum will fly over and patiently wait for the tower to collapse. Once it does she will hold person(DC35,-2 to the save due to hypnotic gaze) an archer with her mesmerist slot and bite him to suck some blood. Or she would just drain the blood of the unconscious/dead archer if they die from the fall. She will maintain the blood drain until she is damaged or the archer dies. She will then move on to the other archers, using her dominate gaze(DC 28, -2 to save from hypnotic gaze) and blood drain them too unless something else comes up.
(and 2 negative levels since all her bites inflict energy drain)
Seeing creatures he recognizes he calls out."WHAT ARE YOU DOING" He says from the roof.
He sees Kisium and telepathically reaches out.'I am Ink, the guild seeks to keep this city, so if you could refrain from too much carnage, it would be appreciated'
Kislum looks up at the figure for a second before she replies with her thoughts, ‘fine but I am draining these guys, it took us weeks to come and find you guys and I think I deserve some self indulgence. Speaking of which where are the others?’
'More the physical place, as walls are hard to replace then homes. Feast, but not to much. Though this may aid us. I can shift into my priest and subdue you then present you to the proxy in which we seek to place as ruler here. That way the religion I am seeking to establish for us to feed on grows stronger.' Ink translates as he thinks about the very pieces coming together. He would note that the Guild needed communication items so they could coordinate better.
‘so you want to start a new religion? Wouldnt that be a bit difficult since clerics require granted powers and none of us can grant powers to others? It’s not a bad plan otherwise… ok I will play along. You should probably tell the RARGHG and Skarbrund though. Speaking of other people, where is the rest of the guild? Are they also pretending to be priests?’
' Call it an experiment. Add in Healing items and magics, possible miracles. And no it's my endeavor to see if we can create a self-sustaining con. In people and rescources Desser is pulling a hiest, Myriana and her pet are causing a distraction of a different sort. There is a meeting place. I can show you, but let me shift.' He says as he chooses a place ot shift into his priest get up and down onto the street.
"Relax Guardsman, I a man of our lord and savior Bratva is here, I shall quell these beasts with the power of our god." Ink says in loud voice, hoping he can be heard.
Myriana was quite pleased with the results of their performance so far but she knew they needed more. Yes, eventually the guards would show up but eventually was not soon enough. She led them lower to the street and began to move them closer so that she cold be seen through windows and doorways and balconies. She kept an eye out as they went for what looked like the local Craterlord's headquarters and led them in that direction.
Once they reached it she called out as they came close to the ground, not quite landing, and called out, "Oh Craterlord, come out and dance with us nya!" The illusions had all descended too and continued to dance around them making it hard to tell which of the disparate sets was the real one. "If you don't nya we will just continue our fun, and all of your people will be blinded nya."
A large man in a full plate armor comes out of one of the guild halls, "Hey you stop that!"
Arrows whiz by the different targets as pot shots are taken.

Alright, RARGHG will attempt to knock over the tower by attacking the wooden supports with her scythe
You cut one of the four support legs of the tower, it wobbles alot but doesn't fall yet.
====Within the chest you find a +1 cold broadsword with ruby settings, a +1 mithril chain shirt, and a cloak of resistance +1.
Behind the painting you find a vault that is easily opened. No actual lock is upon it. A collection of coins, bricks, and other wealth with a small stash of potions. 12 in total, 2 mage armor, 4 cure light, 2 true strike, 1 cure mod, 1 fly, and 2 invisibility.
====
Kislum quickly finds out that the guards, archers, slaves, and anyone one else she meets has no resistance to her.
====
You could go to a different ward and direct those fleeing to come to this ward.
The guards will work with you.
=====
Ink, you realize that not many people are around anymore. There are likely some terrified folks in the nearby buildings, though.
"Perfect. I prefer taking on flesh and bone anyway. Buildings don't have the blood I prefer" he laughs before he turns his blades towards the rest
"Send out your best, weak blood is not something I like spilling. No sport in that!"
’Fair enough premise I suppose. However there’s little point to put in a show for no one, ink. Perhaps we can make our way to the town square? You will probably find a better show there. Oh and do show us the meeting place after this’
RARGHG lets out a chitter of excitement and raises her scythe with another glint in her eye, her new instincts raring to knock the tower over. She brings it down with a shrill cry, striking the support on the same side as the one she knocked over in hopes the tower collapses in on itself.
"Ladies?" he says gently. "Can you hear me? If you have thoughts of your own, place a finger on your nose. I am not the Craterlord, you are safe now."
'If only a few hear I can still show them how little I fear the beasts, this should be fun'
Ink steps out looking at Skarbrund. telepathically.'Hello Skar, It's Ink, Please humor me and stand down I need the people to trust me. If you do I will bring you to Desseer'
At the Same time."Oh Beasts of Myth, I a humble servant of Bratva seek you to sease this carnage in the name of My God!"
'Rarghg, long time no see, Its Ink. Talk later, but could you refrain from you know destroying this city we are trying to take over.'
‘hello ink, it has been a while. So you, desser and myriana have been trying to take over a city? If that’s what you guys want I suppose I will cooperate but only if you leave me out of your tedious politics and ruling business. I am not spending my new life stuck to another chair doing calculations to help run another business. And why are you pretending to be a priest? Don’t tell me you found god here… actually since we have powers here and Yggdrasil has clerics maybe there is a god here… mmmm I suppose nothing is really impossible’
RARGHG muses to herself for awhile before turning towards ink.
’ how do you want play this? I will just follow your lead since acting has never been my strong point. After we subdue the town tho, I hope you all plan to do some exploring of this new world. Personally, I intend to travel and see the world now that I can use my limbs.
’ok I guess we are doing this here. How do you plan to execute this performance of yours? If I am remembering correctly you can’t use magic so did you steal an item to make you be able to cast magic? Ah, I should remind you if you intend to use any sort of light spells to make yourself seem holy I will snuff it out. For obvious reasons. I will play along for most other things tho. If you want I can make it seem like you can cast magic by using my shapechange to turn into an animal or vermin and skitter away. Or use my gaseous form to make it look like your holy god defeated me or something. I doubt most of the townsfolk know how to actually identify a spell anyway.
Rarghg does fell the watch tower. It comes crumbling down.
No more arrows shoot here as anyone in the area is hiding or running now.
[ooc[Getting this in now so I can post accordingly while I am at work.[/ooc]
Myriana tamped down her beauty so she temporarily wouldn't blind anyone again for now and turned so she could put one arm around IRis' waist as they hovered, "Verick Van Sorbinya,...hmmm...Verick Van Sorbinya..." She flew closer, not attacking, and being wary of him lashing at her with a strike. She was quiet as could be as she approached him, ready to slide through dimension at a moment's notice if he attacked her, "I would say I am sorry about blinding people nya, but that would be a lie nya. I could have killed people nya, would you have preferred that nya?"
Myriana reached out slowly and brushed her fingers against Verick's cheek, "The thinyag about blinyadinyag is that it canya be reversed nya. I admit I canya't do it nya but I have companyaons who canya."
"What would it be worth to you nya?" Myriana moved in even closer to put her arms around him and embrace him, her furry ear rubbing against his face as she spoke softly in his ear, "What would stoppinyag our funya be woth to you nya?"
"No blinding is preferred but I feel it still was overkill."
He stands his ground, seeming to like your touch. He coughs and hesitantly states, "I don't know what I could offer. I would be willing to offer my services if you stop hurting the townsfolk. It's about all I can offer. Unless you know of something else you want?" He slowly lowers his blade to tip it downward to the ground.
"Hmmmm, I would demanyad two thinyags of you nya," Myriana purred into his ear as she lightly drug the claws of her left1 hand across his cheek, not enough to injure but to let him feel the sharpness of them,"The first would be to swear your eternyal lyalty to me nya," she nibbled on his ear a little with her sharp teeth, "the seconyad is to get us to the crater lord nya."
Myriana shifted so that her lips were almost touching and said, "Do these to thinyags anyad Iris-chanya anyd I will cease hurting the townyasfolk nya." He could feel her breath on his lips and with as close as she was it would be easy, even for a blind man, to kiss her and seal the bargain.
When he comes up for air, he gasps and whispers, "My eternal loyalty... I can try to guide you... but without my sight... let me find out if the urchins nearby are not blinded. They could guide you better." He still holds you possessively close.
When one of them speaks up Desseer asks, "Do you know where we are?"
"I did not take out the guards outside. If you all were to walk out without the Craterlord or your chokers, would the guards stop you?"
The two headed south, looking for civilians who were fleeing from the carnage engulfing the settlement. From high up on his comrade's mount, Thorin yelled out to them as towards where they could find safety. All the while he kept his eyes peeled, looking for any evidence as towards who had caused his calamity.
"If we cannot find any who have caused this, then we might well have to head towards the center of governance. I have a feeling that the demigods here will not be far from the seat of power."
It was about the time that Verick began to look for the orphans with Iris' help that Dominique came speeding up to them and it startled Myriana for a moment but at his words she knew he was, if not a friend, an ally at least. She smiled "Nyaot yet Dominyaique-sanya, unless you canya remove blinyadnyaess. We will soonya though, we have a lead onya the local crater lord nya." She did give the new arrival a stern look and said, "Do nyaout hurt the townyasfolk nya. I have made a bargainya that Iris-chan and I would stop nya."
Myriana hesitated then and looked at her new knight thoughtfully when he returned. "Do you conyasider the Crater Lords anyad their goonyas to be citizens to leave alonyae my knyaight?"
'If then no onlookers remain then this will be easier still' Ink says as he then speaks outloud in English
"Oh' Mighty Monsters, I bessech thee to heed my words" Ink begins to move his arms, almost inhumanly.
"May Bratva bring you to cease your rampage and heed my will. You will submit to his will, submit so you may be saved!!!"
RARGHG will hold her scythe in a more passive guard stance, holding it upright instead of across her body. She will then try to move more slowly to seem more relaxed and non hostile
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Kislum will drop to her knees with her hands clamped and say,”Oh I see the light, praise be lord Bratva the greatest god! I am a shade before the glorious power of bratva!” as dramatically and convincingly as she can
'Thanks Rarghg you are a life savior. I'll look to see if there are cool places for you to explore!'
Ink then inwardly laughs and switches to Kisium.'If I didn't know you better I would have believe my words got through. If the church thing works out I may have some choice morsels for you. The hope is they become a loyal fodder for us'
|
’I look forward to it ink. I do see the appeal and benefit of having a loyal base of fodder to depend on in this new reality. Now where do we go next?’
'Safe House, Allies await who have never seen you, so this may be interesting?' Ink says a smile spreading across such a plain human
"My new friends I take you to a powerful Sorcerer, who welds power unknown" He says as he laughs.
"Bah, mumbo Jimbo, but I do think you have garnered my interest. I'll need your request and I'll see where this takes us." the large axe wielder sighs as he lowers his axe arms and shrugs
'I know not your cup of tea, or style.Just let me get you to Desseer and he can take it from there. So try not to destroy too much' Ink reiterates walking in front of them.
Kislum will follow along with ink, Skarbrund and RARGHG to the meeting point
The boy and girl street urchins come out of the building and motion for her to follow.
"I will stay here, mistress, if you are good with that."

This man walks out into the road at your approach. A katanna drawn and held with one hand, the back of the blade on his leather pauldron.
Preternaturally strong and healthy man nearly glows. His nearly white skin looks to not seen the sun for years. Though the skin does seem to radiate a glow, especially in the dark. He stands just over 6 feet tall and weighs easily 300 pounds. He is rather thick for a human, but has a lot of muscle too. His dark black straight hair nearly absorbs the sun's light.
Upon his sturdy belt is a rustic-looking dagger of a hunter, a nodachi, a few pouches and bags, and a few slots for potions. Upon his back is a quiver of arrows and a composite longbow. His fresh-looking green cargo pants look clean and sharp. As does his fancy set of black leather gloves. There are other leather items strapped to his body, including the pauldrons, but it's not really armor. A headband with a simple red gem glows.
Desseer gathers the chokers before flying out the window.
A horned tiefling in leather armor flies closer. He is lithe but well muscled and carries a bastard sword on his back. His flight is supported by a decent sized pair of demon wings, clearly a gift from his bloodline. His hair is black and shoulder length and his gaze, piercing. He has all of the look of a sellsword.
"You are an unexpected sight to behold here," he shouts as he flies closer and pulls out a pocket watch. Looking at it he adds, "I didn't expect any reinforcements for a little while longer."
"Dresser." The dwarf called up. A name he was familiar with, given their mission. The fiendish elf seemed to have some sort of magical watch. Used for telling time, perhaps? It certainly seemed that way. As much as the elf looked like a sell sword, the dwarf looked just like that...a dwarf. As if though his giant companion had found an NPC along the way. He motioned towards all of the fleeing people beneath the three of them. "We have taken these people under our protection." He explained, his voice calm but his eyes hard. "As, to be honest, we had come not expecting a battle to be taken place. I am unaware of anything here that might be of a challenge to you and yours. But perhaps you could fill us in as towards what threat might require reinforcement for one so powerful?" He held his hands out to his side, standing confidently upon his comrade's mount. By all appearances, he was unarmed.
