Hadran, The Fallen's page

Also I'm going to remove the red X's on the map for the hexes we have claimed. We will continue to use them for hexes that have been explored and then remove them when we claim the hexes.

It seems we have died. :(

Sorry Rednal we had a great 5 year run. I hope we can play together again.

Checking in to see how everyone is doing. :)

Rednal how we doing? Just checking in. As before not going anywhere and breaks to keep the creative juices flowing are fine with me. Hope you both are doing well.

Yes sir :)

Thanks for the update.

Oh that's fun :) I think I have the map so if that is somehow the gem now you need to grab it and come fine me :)

If you want to give it a try let's do it :)

"Shall we go then. The longer they have the gems the worst things could get."

Oh I had been playing spell slots still. I need to read how the recharge stuff works I guess. I remember Rednal posting about it but I don't believe I read it.

Hardan pulls away looking at his companion wondering why he was so close.

"A distraction would draw too much attention. We may need to use the map soon as we get the stone if it draws the attention of too powerful of foes. Invisibility is our only option for now. You ready?

"From the demons I have seen we can make use of invisibility to sneak in. It won't last long, but it will get us in I think. Can you cast it as well? I have four uses so I can get Midfoviing and us. Can your companion be summoned and dismissed? If not then that is all four uses so we may have to fight our way out. How do we leave once we get the stone? I have not gained sufficient strength for planar travel yet."

Sorry to hear, I hope your taking the time to get right and good. We got to take care of ourselves. If you need a break never worry about taking one just give a heads up. I'm not going anywhere :) Thanks for continuing to provide a great game.

Hadran looks to Burkhardt

k.planes: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23What are the guards, trying to figure out if they have truesight.

"Invisibility and alter self are the only spells I have for sneaking. If the guards have truesight neither will help. I worry a simple disguise will do no good do to my aura. Perhaps there is a sewer system under. That could provide us a less guarded way in."

Agreed a break is fine if you need some time to regroup. Just don't want to end :)

Rednal you still there buddy. We have been going 5 years. I have a site install today and won't post again until tomorrow really don't want our game to end :) Hope Burkhardt is still around as well

I'm good with whatever you wish to do if Rednal is. Love is love and pleasures are not tied to love. Hadran is still in love with Sarenrae and committed to getting back to her, but I had imagined at some point he would sleep with Midfoviing possible creating a half dragon demigod. Kind of like the greek gods liking to sleep around in mortal form :)

"Impulse control is why I walk now in this mortal body. I understand. Keep your wits about you and all will be well. Focus we must not delay and stay here long or we will be found out."

"It will be best if I interact as little as possible. Burkhardt you will have to handle that, if it comes to it. Lets make our way tree. The sooner we can leave the better."

Hadran allows Burkhardt to take the lead knowing his presence will make those around him feel something is off.

"That is as good of plan as any. The illusion magic I have will not last long and may be better suited for finding the stone. Let us give it a try."

Sorry forgot to post about a quick weekend vacation. Went to Canada for the weekend. Back now.

"I think we can disguise ourselves and get around and over easy enough if we don't attempt the front gate. Come lets make our way around."

Yeah some non detection magic would have been useful oh well you live and learn.

"Very well. Lets go."

Perception for another way in: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36

Rednal can I suppress my Grace ability. It's mind effecting and all non good within 30' take the -1 to attacks, saves and checks. Seems like they would be freaked out when I get close.

"How do we want to play this? I can go invisible, that may help us get inside if you can talk your way in. Other than that we will need to look for a sewer system or something to enter underground."

"I'm not sure. Let us find out."

Now closer Hadran examines the map again to see if it gives off any sort of signal being closer.

"We will be in constant danger here. I am a holly creature and just being close even the low demon will know as my aura effects them. We will need to be direct and strike hard and fast. Are you ready my friend?"

With that Hadran begins advancing toward the keep.

"We will do this trying to draw as little attention as we can but yes the burden of our actions will be ours. So my friend the Abyss is nice this time of year I hear. Shall we."

Hadran smiles before holding his finger on the gem located in the Abyss.

"Then we will start with the two marked clearly. Burkhardt my friend if you are ready?" Hadran takes the scroll and studies it looking and waiting on his companion to reply before placing his finger on one of them.

Hadran strides up along with his friend. He doesn't offer introduction at first awaiting to see what this is. He stands resolute and stoic.

Nope ready to go I think

Hadran will walk among them and take the opportunity to gather more of his own followers.

"It is common for gods to know new gods. I am Hadraniel God of Valor. If you wish to worship Iodell just pray out to her. If you wish to worship me you can do the same."

"Hello again Nia. Thank you. I am feeling much better. This seems a good opportunity to spread influence then. If you see Burkhardt again let him know I'm out and about. Thank you. Midfoviing lets go get some food and mingle among the people."

With that Hadran takes the young dragon girl out into the city.

Hadrans eyes slowly open, as his vision clears he sees the dragon girls standing vigilantly by his side.

"Midfoviing? Well it is good to see you. I trust we are not dead then. Burkhardt? Where is he?"

He slowly stands as his power begins to return.

Back from war. Spent the morning on work emails. Have a meeting this afternoon so will make a game post tomorrow looking forward to getting back on track.

I had intended to do so but been busy with work crunch and home stuff getting ready to leave for war. Posting in all my games.
Hey all that time of year again. Gulf Wars (Large SCA event in Mississippi) Starts Saturday. I leave on Wednesday. I will be gone until the 18th. Please bot me as needed. I should be posting the next 2 days but not as often as usual due to the crunch of getting last minute work done before leaving. Thank you.
So If Burkhardt wants to do some side stuff we can say the blast took more out of Hadran than he thought it would. Or we can pause for a bit as we have done in the past. Up to you two :)

Ah me too, maybe items of unique power boomed on her god radar. Oh well :)

Well Hadran is out for a bit, also. Hey all. My parents came for a visit so the wife and I are taking a mini vacation and heading to Orlando to worship at the alter of the big mouse for a few days. Regular posting will resume Monday. Please bot me as needed. I will try and check in on phone. Thank you.

"Thank you Midfoviing. I will recover soon." He says as he passes back out in the dragon girls arms.

I mean Hadran probably didn't forget but I certainly did :) Hadran's also not sure about discretion being the better part of valor talk :)

Hadran falls to his knees in exhaustion, each breath heavier than the next.

"Nice to see you again Iodell. Divine power suits you just fine. Burkhardt could you ask about the soul stones? I think I'm just going to rest my eyes a moment." His words trail off and slur a bit as he slumps forward passing out from expelling all his energy.

Neat, glad that seemed to work. Sort of anyways :)

"Well let's see if I can draw his attention or force him away then. Burkhardt help Iodell in any way you can."

Hadran closes his eyes and spreads his arms out wide. He begins to call on all that have prayed to him and all those witnessing wishing the city to be safe.

Going for a sort of DBZ spirit bomb effect if you guys are familiar with all my divine energy in one go and whatever people can give me if that's possible.

As he hears prayers when he concentrates he communicates back.

"My valorous followers. You see now this threat. I will protect you and this city. Lend me your strength and your devout sacrifice will be rewarded. I am Hadraniel God of Valor. Lend me your strength! Please!"

As he sends the words telepathically through prayer and states them out loud with the continued aid of Ghost Sound. He focuses his strength and begins to form it into a tangible energy above himself.

So yeah my thought is to expend everything all at once, Divine power, Bardic Music, Rage, Trance. All power being focused into a divine blast of power if this is do able. Even HP no matter the outcome I would see this leaving Hadran at 0HP staggered. What do you think?

"Nia? When did you get here? So you here to help with this then?"

Yeah I didn't mean the above to sound like I was giving up or anything. I like stuff like this you have to get creative and think of different angles. Also I know you wouldn't put something in front of us that didn't have some sort of solution. :)

"THE OLD ONES ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. IT HAS BEEN SO FOR SOME TIME NOW. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SHOULD FEAR THE ATTENTION YOU ARE BRINGING UPON YOURSELF. i SAY AGAIN LEAVE NOW."

I feel so powerless :)

"I will try again then."{/b]

[b]"Iod, The Shining Hunter. What is your business here? I am Hadraniel God of Valor and you are not welcome. I command you to leave now peacefully."

Intimidate w/ Display of Charisma: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (17) + 38 = 55

"Delay him? I can't fly and have no real means. I could change to appear as Iodell, but that my make things worse. Any ideas Burkhardt?"

Sorry all, home computer died on Friday night. I then had 2 days of work training to start the week and have been playing catch up. I will be back to normal tomorrow sorry for delays.

One reaching the peak and watching Midfoviing retreat to safety Hadran calls out amplifying his voice with Ghost Sound.

"Iod, The Shining Hunter. What is your business here? I am Hadraniel God of Valor and you are not welcome. I command you to leave now peacefully."

Hadran nods to Midfoviing.

"Yes. Drop me up there at the peak and then get to safety. I'm not sure what any of this is."

Assuming there is a few moments in flight Hadran attempts to understand what or who this thing is.

K.? with Trance: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (20) + 28 = 48 +5 more if K. Planes

"My gut tells me this is more than just another possible god. That darkness something is not right. Come. They may need our help."

Hadran starts making his way toward the cathedral.

"Fine, I will spend the days in the city gaining more followers. We will meet back here in four days time then."

Hadran and Midfoviing depart and set out into the city to continue to spread the word of the God of Valor.

"Well we can hope we have enough to go on to find them. When do we meet back? How much time do we have?"'

I don't need any prep time, I invested the extra money into my sword so I only have around 100gp

"So none are known to be on this plane then?"

Hadran begins to contemplate of the dangers of going to the abyss in this form.

"How many gems in total? Are there any known holders of them? Pharasma will remain neutral. We will seek the stones on our behalf, we have no ties to anyone but ourselves. Planar and dimensional travel is not within our power yet. Are there here any in the material plane that are known? We could pay to be sent to one of the others but I would prefer to have a way back first."

Holidays over back to normal posting :) Happy new year

"What makes the thieves difficult to move against? Any information you can share now will aid in our success. Do you have a way to track or find the gems? What do the gems do exactly? So we may be prepared.

"That is a valuable boon, what matter could it be the Lady doesn't use agents of her own? We were looking for allies, Pharasma is as good as any place to start. Do you have any objections Burkhardt?"
