Hey guys Sorry , been really hammered by RL lately. Will continue soon!
Hey guys,
Been doing some prep and I just wanted to provide an update.
Just waffling back and forth which to start with. Stay tuned! Al
Bescalie also follows the conversation, her expression a bit more perplexed than Samuel's, "There is no other way in , climbing the cliffs or by flight. If you wish, Efrixes is strong enough to carry one more..." she says, then answers Samuel, "The Drakeland patrols are often comprised of whatever they have that can fly: frost drakes, smaller versions of full-sized dragons, summoned creatures they sometime make use of, and of course dragonkin, like my friend Efrixes."
Bethana nods at Marbyn's observation, "Indeed...a half-brother! " she says conspiratorially, "You see, his birth caused quite a stir around these parts...he's a half-elf! And Ameiko's parents are both human! so it was obvious that old Lonjiku, Ameiko's father, wasn't the boy's father, and his rage at his wife's indiscretion was the talk of the town for months! Atsuii, Ameiko's mother, never revealed who the father was, and it's a testament to Lonjiku's stubbornness that they remained married. Tsuto was shipped off to the Turandarok Acadamy here in town, ignored by his father and forbidden visits by his mother. Ameiko visited him in secret. That changed when about 6 years ago, they had a big fight in which Tsuto struck Ameiko. I dunno what the fight was about, but it was about then then Ameiko when off from Sandpoint for a year, galivanting about as an adventurer. She returned five years ago for her Ma's funeral. Tsuto was very vocal about his theory that Lonjiku had pushed Atsuii off the cliff to her death, and there was another fight at the funeral. Longjiku almost broke Tsuto's jaw with that cane of his. After that Tsutu cursed his father and left Sandpoint. Ameiko was never able to track him down after that!"
A consensus made, the group sets off in search of the wandering Grannie. The night is fortunately bright, as the clouds have moved on and the moon was waxing gibbous. Re-tracing the caravan's path through the Forest, the group comes to the ambush crossroads, and can see the path someone, presumably Grannie, had taken through the higher grass towards the old town of Fahndorf. This path was more uneven and the Forest crouched much closer, but the light of the moon proved sufficient. Soon though another light came from ahead, and as the shoulder of the Forest receded, the ruins of Fahndorf was revealed. Nary a wall stood higher than shoulder height, as the skeletons of a once prosperous village stood in mute witness to the event taking place in the central square. There a large bonfire rages, circled by dark animal shapes. Chanting drifts across the air as the flames dance. A shadowy shape is tossing things into the fire, causing it to change color from red to blue to green. Magic is in the air!
Bescalie crouches down and begins to draw in the snow. She uses a stick to quick diagram the situation, "Here is Spurhorn, " she says, drawing a rough square in the snow, "It is a fortress atop a high rocky crag comprised of steep cliffs, at least 100ft tall. The walls of the fortress rise another 40ft above that." she draws lines around the square to indicate the cliffs. "Here, here and here are the encampments of the invaders, frost drakes and Drakeland barbarians , with some cyrohydras, dracolisks and dragonkin. " she says, drawing three circles near the fortress. "They number three times the complement in the fortress. And while an attack up the cliffs would be difficult, their numbers serve to bottle up the defenders of the Dragon Legion inside the fortress. ." "So, as you can see, accessing the Fortress by foot is nigh impossible. Dimensional transport is not advisable, as the Fortress is defended against such things. The only reasonable way to get you to the Fortress is through flying. Though even so , we'd need to contend with Drakeland patrols..."
Bethana's face shines with gratitude as she hurries everyone into the Rusty Dragon. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, wiping away the tears on her cheeks, she begins, "I can't find Miss Ameiko! When I woke this morn, I found that she hadn't started breakfast...for the first time since I can 'member! I knocked at her door and when i din't hear nothin', I dared to go in. Her bed wasn't messed up and I found this..." she says, pulling a rumpled piece of parchment from her pocket, offering it to the group.s Parchment: Hello, sis!
Yes, take care of bod and the brain, Esgean ! Hope the pupper comes through this 100%, BW!
Stepping back into the dim light and cold air, the group finds Bescaylie and Efrixes off to one side, Bescaylie seeminly just finishing a conversation with Nagubel. With a casual wave, Nagubel walks a small distance away towards a blue bordered rift that has appears in front of it. It walks through and disappears, the rift closing with a small popping sound. Bescaylie turn and approaches, "You have interesting friends...Are you ready to journey to Spurhorn?"
Captain Schiller comes over to see what the ruckus was all about. He takes the note and reads it, his face growing more and more incredulous .
He stops and turns to you, "I've asked much of you lot, so I won't ask again, I'll leave it to you if you decide to fetch back that silly old woman. She's our only healer and she tends the children, besides that she's a friend...of sorts. I'd go, but am needed here, and I can't spare any of the other guards. You decide, and I'll not hold against you your decision!" he says, thrusting the letter back into whomever had it last. He then stomps back to the rest of the camp, shouting orders to some of the guards. The children peer out of the wagon, their eyes full of tears, occasionally piping up to says, "Please...find granny"
Over the next few days, when not attending to their own errands and interests, Sandpoint's Heroes, do as the Sheriff asked....made themselves seen, walking the streets, plazas and shorelines of Sandpoint. As they did so, they were greeted warmly by most, even the grumpiest of residents offering a nod or weak wave. Occasionally, a child or smiling resident would approach and express their gratitude, grasping a hand, often leaving a copper or silver coin before departing.
Late one morning, the party rounded a corner near the Rusty Dragon, to see Bethana Corwin, one of the maids there...an elderly halfing woman. Wringing her hands, she cast her gaze about worriedly. A more hopeful mein comes across her face as she see the party, motioning with her arm for them to quickly come into the Rusty Dragon....
Great to see you back Sara. I'll get a post to move us along today.
Hey guys Had to disconnect for a bit there after getting sick again over Christmas and the break. Hope the new year is treating you all well. hope you guys wish to continue!
Hey guys Got sick again over christmas and the break, then took some time away from online stuff. Looking to start this up, if you're all willing ?
Hey guys Hope the new year is treating you well! Got really sick again over Christmas and the break, then felt I needed to disconnect for a bit from online stuff. Back, and if you're willing to continue...
Hey guys So got really sick again over Christmas and the break, still suffering from some bronchitis. Disconnected for a bit from online stuff and decompressed. Checking in if you all are interested in carrying-on! Thanks
Hey guys, sorry for the radio silence. As you remember got sick before christmas.... finally finished the big project I was working on for work, then got sick again over christmas, really sick. Doctor thought it was RSA or something like that. Still suffering from bronchitis from that, and sort of disconnected for a while to recharge. Though I had the best of intentions here, just never got traction, so I'm going to call it. Hope the new year treats you well! happy gaming! Al
Apologies for the extra delay, after the site closing finished I was getting ready to start again but got really sick (flu A, I think) and had more work asked of me at the same time. I've recovered both health wise and work wise, so expect us to start soon. But, with Javell departing and Aaron not having returned, I don't want to be DM-PCing two characters for too long. Opinions on recruitment? Do you know anyone who may want to fill-in?

Yeah, RL has a habit of doing that to us! Take care, Javell.Hmm, with Javell departing and Aaron not seeming to be coming back, I think we need to find 1 or 2 others to join our endeavor.

Hey guys....sorry to disappoint, but I'm not going to be able to take on your game at this time. A bit too much going on in RL, and I'm having trouble keeping up with my current games. Happy Gaming.
Sure +1 CR is good.
Sorry guys, buried under work the last several days...I'll get back at it soon. I have no issue with re-skinning the smite evil feats etc with Smite good. I second Bluedove's opinion on the fiendish servant, she's right Boon Companion is useless for the Paladin's Mount, as it already shares the same level as it's master.

Approaching the children's wagon, each with voice lifted in fear. Opening the tarp, all of the children look up , face streaked with tears, grasping their blankets or each other in their terror. Granny is no where to be seen. After a few calming words, the crying dies down to a chorus of sniffing and quiet blubbering. Any inquiry about Granny almost sets the children to crying again, but they all shake their heads when asked if they saw Granny leave. One little girl, through her snot covered mouth, says, "I dreamed I saw a black raven in the wagon!" Another pipes up, suddenly loquacious, "Granny's Mo's been funny all day. Since we stopped by the broken carts to rest the Oxen . She cried. I saw her! She said it was just dust, but I know it weren't true. She was crying about Fahndorf. She said it was Soldiers that did the burnin' but it was Graf Sternhaur who had bloody hands. She said lots of bad words. She said what's power for if you don't use it. She said the bird told her it was the right thing to do. I heard her say it, and then she was all scary looking. Like when Captain Schiller chopped up that beastman who killed Frau Becker." The child blinks, as if surprised he spoke for so long. He hold out a piece of parchment, "I found this on Granny's blanket." Parchment: To : Captain Schiller From: Granny Moesher Captain, I apologize for leaving the children in this way. Please try to find decent homes for them in Middenheim. They are good children and I pray they receive Shallya's mercy after all the suffering they have endured. I go to settle a debt with the Sternhaur family. I do this for myself and the people of Untergard. The price is mine along to pay. I wish you success in Middenheim. May Sigmar watch over you and all the people of Untergard. I am going home one last time. Perhaps we'll meet again in Morr's Kingdom
Sorry, guys. Thought I'd posted and then got busy with work and a thanskgiving weekend. I'll get up next combat post tomorrow.
Nagubel claps it's 'hands' together, "Ah, it warms my 'Ineffable' heart, you are sure to become bosom friends!" it pipes in its odd voice. It turns and regard's Thashara and Natalya, "Aid them in their...no, now your quest. Find my friend, the universe would be a poorer place should Baba Yaga pass out of it! " it intones solemly, then raises it's staff half threateningly, "But do come back whole, you represent a considerable investment in my valuable time and attention! " it says in an earnest, lightly trumpeting voice, before continuing more subdued, "It would cause me some distress to lose either of you, so..." it says, leaving the obvious unsaid. It then turns back to the Hut entrance, "I must be away, then! My labors await...and I've been gone too long now. Where was I going next... ah, yes Golarion, Ustalav, I think it's called." With a wave of it's staff, it turns and trudges down the steps, pausing beside Thashara and Natalya, saying lowly, "Do take care, my dears."
Wunderbar! Prepare for Adventure! Shortly....busy day work-wise.
