"Oh. Good point. He's the traveling woodsy god or something, right? If that's the case I say just leave him where he is and forget about it. He likes nature. He's in nature. Problem solved. " **Brushes hands together in a dusting off motion. **
Regrouping some time to discuss plans: "Here are my suggestions:" Schimtty replies Put up signs, but otherwise ignore the trapped land for now. Reve is right. It's not our problem We could burn the forest down with the irritating fey in it, though then we couldn't harvest the wood. Beyond that I say we call the rune lords. They may have more luck than us at finding and exterminating these buggers. The question becomes would they prefer to be bothered and have the wood or to not have the wood and not be bothered? Spider's, Berries, Hermit: I'll send a few fire elementals into the swarm. That should take them out sufficiently. Then or during we can rip up those berry bushes. It'll give us some leverage with the alchemist. Alternately we could just kill the alchemist. I'm not sure how stable he is anyway. Clearly he's a bit mad. Statue: We should probably ask the rune lords. They may or may not want that thing in town. If they do they can send the horror to bring it back. I'll write a missive notating our progress and send it to the rune lords to see how they'd like to proceed in these matters. Schmitty pens a note listing the progress and requests that the body of the stag lord be sent to their current location. After discussion and adding anything else form the companions he places it in a tube he hands it to his familiar who flies off toward the palace.
"That'll take a little more time, but your bargain is agreeable. We'll return. "
"The Stag Lord is dead. My master and the other Runelords thoroughly trounced him and his men at his own keep. I believe we could probably find the body and throw it to you if that is your desire. Do you need the whole body or is just the head ok? If just the head then we'll be able to do that much quicker. "
"My good man, there's no need for this hostility between us. Our kingdom is here to stay and we wish nothing but peace with our neighbors. Surely we can come to some sort of mutually beneficial arrangement." Diplomacy
FYI: The plan when we come across anything questionable is to send summoned creatures first to test for traps and soften up any resistance. No sense in risking ourselves needlessly.

When his turn rolls around Schmitty takes a standard action to cast a spell (Infernal Healing). He loses one hit point, falling unconscious, but quickly comes to as the spell does it's work. Over the course of the next minute, Schmitty's wounds seem to knit themselves together.
Schmitty is at 0. still unconscious (i think)
Schmitty falls unconscious, Chavi vanishes (-6 HP)
Chavi tries to take a bite out of the closest Gnoll and Shimitty fires a crossbow bolt at it. Bite Crossbow
Chavi is going to full out run to get closer to the wagon (50X4=200 feet) Schmitty readies an action to fire a glob of acid at the gnoll on the horses when Chavi gets within range and stops moving. Acid Splash Touch attack
Schmitty fires at the Gnoll between himself and Nikko
Schmitty fires his crossbow at the closest enemy (Add +1 to hit if the enemy is within 30'; Also no penalty for firing into Melee due to precise shot.) Rat does its thing against the nearest enemy
I'm still checking in, but if I'm MIA at a critical juncture just NPC me as needed.
Chavi remains still so schmiftty can fire his crossbow at The closest one.
Dire rat attacking the Same one.
DM Black Fang, If it's ok with you I realized I needed to alter a few minor things (that havent come into play yet). I changed out the level one Summoner spell Summon MOnster I with Infernal healing. It was kind of a stupid choice since I have the Summon Monster I SLA. Don't know what i was thinking. Since I'm going the Master SUmmoner route Chavi is no longer going to be a battle monster. I removed claws and Skilled (perception) in order to add Limbs (legs) for a little speed boost. I'd prefer her 4 legs simply be more efficient instead of actually adding a pair of legs. Mechanically it will be the same, but in the end it's your call. If these minor changes are not ok just let me know and I'll put everything back the way it was until I can change it officially.
When the time is right Schmitty says
Bite need a fort save if it hits.

Replying to everyone via message "They're Gnolls. I was just about to say something. I can and have cast it. " Concentration If I fail the check I keep trying until I succeed in including everyone]. Spell lasts 10 min per caster level or in my present case ten minutes.
"This is interesting. Good, but unusual. How did you get so many flavors in this?"
Chavi and Schmitty Nod their agreement in unison. It's a little odd, but not overly unnerving.
Chavi Perception
Presumably Karg kicks him a little harder and schmitty jumps up startled eyes momentarily both wild and sleepy.
Shmitty yelps "OW!" at his rough awakening and gives Karg a dirty look, but otherwise lets the incident go.
On first attempt Schmitty is in deep slumber and simply rolls to his side and pulls the blanket over himself making a "Harump" sound as he turns. Presumably Karg kicks him a little harder and schmitty jumps up startled eyes momentarily both wild and sleepy. "Oh, " he grumbles, "It must be my turn." Schmitty says as he yawns and stretces. Schmitty spends the next minute drawing a circle in the dirt with various sigils. As he closes the circle there is a dim luminescence in the sigils and with a slight displacement of air Chavi appears. As the runes on the circle light so too do the matching glowing runes on both Chavi and Schmitty's head. Schmitty scratches her under the chin and shares whatever food is available with her. "It's our turn at watch." Chavi nods and proceeds to circle the camp keeping an eye out. Schmitty pulls up a chair/box and proceeds to study his spellbook by a dim light floating over his head like a lamp.
Schmitty continues to make quiet sleeping sounds unless he is awaken.
Note: chavi turned to mist and vanishes when Schmitty falls asleep. The glowing runs on his forehead fades also and in similar fashion.
"I suppose I'll take last watch. It will give me a chance to renew my spells, though I haven't really used any today. It is a good practice though." Schmitty says, then thinks to himself "I guess. I've never had to keep watches before."
"We could send a note if you really want to tell them something." Schmitty suggests. "Though I think Priggle is right. "
Feel free. Groovy. TY
Hey Black Fang, Do you mind if I go the Master Summoner route? It doesn't change anything at this level, except for the Summon SLA's per day. Of course I haven't used it yet, so it's not that much of a factor. It's just something I've been wanting to try.
"So are we blocking the road then?" Schmitty asks
Schmitty rides up on Chavi. The two look quite comfortable and look at the wagon full of compatriats. Their neck movements mirror each other. "Hi!" schmitty says enthusiastically."Hey, Marcus," Evan says pleasantly as he looks up from his munitions work to smile and nod at Schmitty. "Hello, Chavi." He returns his attention to carefully measuring out small bits of gunpowder and fitting them along with bullets into paper casings, before carefully sealing the alchemical cartridges with a solvent of some kind, all from his gunsmithing kit. He has obviously done this before, and seems ready to spend the day working on the task at hand. "You can call me Schmitty. Or Cousin Schmitty. It's the name I've become used to. " Schmitty says cheerily. Chavi nods politely to return the greeting.
Schmitty rides up on Chavi. The two look quite comfortable and look at the wagon full of compatriats. Their neck movements mirror each other. "Hi!" schmitty says enthusiastically.
Schmitty Raises his eyebrow at the slaves question "Uhhh...No. No slaves."
"Boss is providing two horses, both for the wagon. You want something to ride, you need to find your own. Or, you could ride in the wagon." To Schmitty, "Does that...things eat?" "Yes. about as much as a human and the same types of food.' Chavi Adds in a clear voice "I like meat, but I can eat most anything."
A bald, gray-skinned gnome says, "I'm Priggle. I'll be handling the wagon. Is it just the five of you? Any mounts, animal companions, familiars, etc? Things that need to eat and drink are what I'm asking about. I need to make sure you all don't starve to death." You can't help but notice he's has a pair of battle picks tucked in his belt. Schmitty points up to Chavi who lifts one side of her upper lip showing a wide row of teeth, but not aggressively.
Schmitty's small head turns and raises an eyebrow to the man. In unison Chavi's head turns above Schmitty to the man and also raises an eyebrow ridge on the same side. |
