Upon being attacked and seeing that the foes are so close by, Ari's divine spark shifts from her wreath to her blade. It hums with power at a menacing frequency.
"Thank you Nhorri, but we had better close rank. It's not as if these creatures could attack multiple of us at once - ack!"
Unfortunately, the birds are not dissuaded by this display of power and peck at Ari relentlessly.
"Tch...Foolish birds! Return to the grave from which you came!" Raising her sword into the sky, she tries to blast them back to the Boneyard with spiritual slashes of light.
She moves forward to make some space and to cover any fighters closing the gap with her newly sparked Victor's Wreath.
|
Ari doesn't quite get out from under the pecking birds. But she does manage to blast the lot back to the Boneyard.

”Oh my, they brought birds of their own!”, Jack remarks.
He heads toward the woods, where King Rimesnap vanished.
”Oh your hiiiiighneeeess!”, he calls out in a singsong voice.
A fire ignites inside Jack’s head, lighting up his eyes and mouth. He opens his arms wide, and a dozen blackened wicker crows with flaming eyes fly out of his sleeves. They circle around him, cawing and wheeling.
”COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!”
Two of the crows fly toward the flock north of him.

"You bring this to yourself! But I won't hurt you, of course!" Vamir tells the fey, but the fey have already escaped from their throne and moves to the wooods.

"Aack! Dang birds!" Nhorri yelps, stepping over to line up the swarms and send an [url]https://2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?ID=4206]Aerial Boomerang[/url] through both of them. "Watch out! That's coming back!" She warns her team.
She follows it up with another Elemental Blast against the swarm that's swarming her.

Nhorri gets away with a scratch from one of the crows and unleashes her aerial boomerang at the swarms.
Pink doesn't get away in time but Yellow does. Chucking another lightning bolt at Yellow also drops a few more birds.

Smoothly dodging her way past the birds, Ari trudges her way out of the swarm of Pink birds and Strides into flanking with Jack on the other side of the Yellow swarm. With her Wreath empowering her and everyone else within 15 feet, she slashes at the Yellow Swarm twice.
Her first strike comically misses as the sword gets stuck in the dirt as she winds up for the swing. Fuming with rage and embarrassment, Ari pulls the sword out of the ground so hard that the resulting upward slash cleaves through the swarm.
"Raahh! Out of my sight, you stupid birds!" She screams as the disturbed snow settles around her.
|
|
Ari manages to avoid most of the birds though one of the claws gives her a small nick. She flanks the swarm and swings at it twice. She overextends on the first one, burying the blade in the icy ground. With a yell of frustration she yanks out the blade and slices through the swarm, cutting half of the birds clean in half. The swarm dissipates after that.

Jack locks flaming eyes with Rimesnap. ”I SEE YOU!”, he cries.
Half of his crows dive toward the diminutive king. Some start pecking and tearing at him, while others take the pieces and start building…something. It looks like a nest at first, until it takes on the shape of another crow. The eyes ignite, and it joins its brethren in the flock.
Meanwhile, one of the other crows heads on a collision course for the charnel birds.

Dendri yelps as the swarm pecks at her. She raises her arms and unleashes more fire at them.
Dendri's fire incinerates the remaining swarm and most (if not all) of the already-dead birds fall to the ground. Jack shoots wood at Rimesnap but misses. He then tries to extract some of Rimesnap's essence but the 'King' toughs it out.
Landon doesn't get out of the way of the pine needles in time. He pulls out his shield and smacks Rimesnap twice, hitting with his second blow and knocking the King out.
Seeing their 'King' unconscious, one of the goblins steps forward. "Wes following you Paffinders! Yous strong! Rimesnap tell us that we's 'playing a game with the longshanks' and stealing train. I's seeing Longshank talking to Rimesnap one week past. But I not know who longshank is because all longshank look alike. We's want go back to big house to aplogize Queen we's not meaning harm!"
|
|
Landon sheaths his sword and helps tend to any wounded. He checks Rimesnap as well, just to make sure the fey isn't mortally wounded. As he plucks the frozen pine needles from his flesh, he wonders if he should have bothered.
”Wonderful!”, he replies. ”Perhaps we should bring His Highness as well. He might be able to point out our conspirator”
"Good idea. It could be that somebody really is worried about the ecological implications of this new railway...or maybe they just don't believe their design would win in a fair competition. We should gather the models and check them for signs of sabotage."
|
|
You gather the models but find no signs that they've been tampered with.
With the winter goblin leaders in tow, you have an uneventful walk back to Anastasia's estate where masses of servants are already busy repairing the mild damage done by the goblin's raid. Their faces are a mix of exasperation and nervousness upon seeing the group again, but they're persuaded by Calix to go back to their duties. The dromaar aide escorts the party back to the council chamber where Anastasia and the representatives are still assembled. The atmosphere is quieter, though no less charged, with Matriarch Szvetneera standing clearly on one side of the table facing the others.
"The fact remains, Your Majesty," Matriarch Szvetneera continues, her face awash with smug confidence, "your servant and his pet Pathfinders have not returned, and we are unable to proceed with this endeavor. There are obviously traitors among this assembly, and given that the representative from Oprak is both unaffected and known to frequent with goblins, the culprit is apparent."
"I have a name and rank, Matriarch," Lieutenant Surkzin responds. "If you would accuse me of a misdeed, please be kind enough to address me by them." Szvetneera's Ulfen guards snap their hands to their weapons as the tension in the room increases.
|
|
As you enter the room with the winter goblin leaders, one of them points to Matriarch Szvetneera, shouting "That's the longshanks that was talkin' with King Rimesnap!"
Amid the gasps from the assembled representatives, Szvetneera lets out a frustrated groan. She spies the unconscious Rimesnap and growls "That useless piece of firewood failed, I see!" She motions to her guards, who spring into action to attack. The rest of the representatives usher Queen Anastasia and Calix out of the room, where they can be heard fighting among more witchguards in the hall.

Vamir jumps towards Matriarch Szvetneera. As she gasps in shock, Vamir's blade takes her head clean off.
As Matriarch Szvetneera falls, her bodyguards lose the will to fight and surrender.
With Matriarch Szvetneera defeated and her plot revealed by her own admission, the rest of witchguards she enlisted to attack the estate retreat. Anastasia, Calix, and the other representatives enter back into the room, each with some superficial injuries that Calix insists aren’t serious. Queen Anastasia thanks you for your help and asks if you have any suggestions as to which train proposal(s) she should look at more closely.
|
|
"The cold never bothered me anyway!" Nhorri exclaims.
----------------
Nhorri cocks her head at Matriarch Szvetneera's head, lying on the ground all by its lonesome. "Well, that's one way to handle it. I suppose we should gather her up and give her back to her guards so they can bury her, or whatever they do with their dead."
Once the dust (or snow?) has settled, her mind turns back to the train proposals. "So, um... Anyone else think we should disqualify Matriarch Szvetneera's design? I mean, it *did* rely heavily on her coven's magic, so no one else could create or operate it. And the dwarven machinist's one seems kinda unsafe, right? The other ideas seem really interesting, though. For the ones that use sentient beings for their power, I'd say it's fine as long as they're treated respectfully and with proper care and rest and all that."
|
|
As the fight comes to a sudden end, Landon wipes the sweat from his brow and takes stock of the situation. The abandoned weapons need to be collected, and the palace would need to be secured. He sees the head rolling to a stop and winces - not because of the gore, but because he felt the urge to make a bad pun. Zykyryz had been a bad influence on him.
"I don't know if King Rimesnap was sincere in his protests, or if he was simply making excuses to cover for his partnership with Matriarch Szvetneera. Still, I gave him my word that his protests would be presented to Queen Anastasia and given due consideration. I therefore suggest that the following proposed models be considered for further investigation, as I believe they will be least likely to disrupt the surrounding wilderness."
He then lists the following:
"As for Matriarch Szvetneera's model, I see no reason to disqualify it now. Apparently animating objects with dancing chicken legs is a proven technique, and I see no way that Szvetneera can disrupt the project further."
|
|
"I agree, there is no valid reason to disqualify the matriarch's model. If others can replicate it, I will actually vote for it," Vamir blurts out his thoughts on the train matter. As for the other train models,
"Why not build them all? Why bother choosing? Use each train according to the needs of the people. One train might be better for a group of people, but another might be suitable for other people, something like that. What do you think about that idea?"
|
|
"Look, I really did get along with most of the people here...except the Arcanist. Just because he gave me the literal cold shoulder, I'm not going to vote for his. But ultimately, because there can only be one winner, it goes to the Lieutenant's design. Her warning and her help was much appreciated and I'd like to return the favour."
|
|
Queen Anastasia nods thoughtfully at your suggestions. She commissions a deeper study on Lt Surkzin's offering, the Stone Road Express. She also nods as you decide to disqualify the High Matriarch Szvetneera's design in light of her betrayal. Finally, more to herself than the party, she asks what should be done with winter goblins. Calix jokingly suggests 'winter goblin soup' for dinner, to which there is a clamoring from the goblins to expose their good traits and that they want to help. The dromaar gives a performative sigh and appoints them "consultants" to prevent others from sneaking into the estate.
