Hella Wolf's page

I think the original plan was to go northish to 3-4 and work our way along the ones already explored and finish out the corner above the post. Basically get that out of the way and then sweep down.

Are you all okay with me pushing through some of the explorations if there is no encounters and such?

Hella would chuckle.

"I can't remember the name either but Den is a simple good word to use for now. People understand it. To many words can confuse." She says winking at Miri. "But first we rest for the night and then continue on in the morning." She pulls out the map showing them and would look it over.

"To the north west and then north east over Oleg's and then east securing the road we came in on?"

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Hella would also check the area looking for evidence of anything else that might have been left behind. Smiling at Miri she would walk around checking various trees and the deadfalls and such.

Hella would look at the strange wrapped things and would stare at it her eyes taking on a golden glow.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

She chuckled lightly. "Well, these look like pieces of rock candy an old dwarf I knew made. But they have the glow about them as if they are a long lasting goodberry."

Hella would climb down and would stroke wolf's head. His bloody fur is matted but the wounds seem to close up

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"It we definitely interesting. Good boy Wolf. Well, we will have to keep an eye out for things like that in the future. I can finish my watch as you guys nap and the next can take over."

Then I am willing to pick this up and run it if you are okay with this.

Ravenica is alright but has lost internet. Does everyone else want to continue this with someone else at the reigns?

MIRI!!!! *Pounces*

Hella would hold her spear and be ready.

Down to her last spear she would glare down at the thing before looking around. "Alright those of you with ranged focus on it. If it makes it up here I will shove it back down with this spear."

Readied action to attack

You already know my answer. "YES!!!!!"

Our GM will be unavailable for the most part the next week. But will return.

Hella pulls her last short spear and would throw it down at the creature as her wolf cowers

Atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
DMG: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Wolf cowers and whines ready to flee.

Hella seeing this let's out a growl of anger and pulls out another spear and throws it towards the pumpkin.

Spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Wolf snarled and bit at the creature again trying to take its leg off of it as he yanked.

Bite W/ PA: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Trip: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Hella pulls out one of her spears and chucks it at the monster.

Shortspear Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Wolf growled leaping at the strange creature grabbing at his leg.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

"What tha'....Wake up everyone we have company. And I am not sure it is friendly." She says and whistles down to her wolf as she tries to recall what it is.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Red Wolf's Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 This isn't taking into account he might have smelled it before seeing it.
Wolf Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

"My wolf would have trouble getting into the blinds. I wouldn't mind staying on the ground with him and the horses. But I do say we keep watches. Using the blinds to do so."

"My intention was to finish exploring around Oleg's before we worked on pastures anyways. I did state that. My concern is for the horses. We have the eight horses from the guards, eight light horses we got from the bandits, and the horses others brought here with them. It is not good for the horses or our own health to have them cooped up the way we do right now. If you wish to camp out here then we can. Ill send Shrieker back with a note letting them know we won't be back like we had originally said we were going to." Hella stated simply.

"As for set up for defense. If they had been camping here for a while and this was an active camp it makes sense. WE KNEW.." Her voice emphasized those last two words. "That they were ALREADY set up for defense even before we got here originally. They probably expected trouble this close to the border." She reminded them pointing out the warnings Neila had already given them.

"It is possible they may have others. It may be possible they don't. We don't know and Neila has not mentioned any others."

Hella nods at Aluxion. "Indeed. Alright we shall continue then spend the evening if we can make it at Oleg's. Then we start mapping around it day by day to solidify our knowledge of the local area. Also, this will let us tell Reynolt what we see and if any land looks farm worthy for him. I believe we will need to invest in pastures for the amount of horses we have now. The stables are full and we still have more. Maybe after exploring we can work on that as a way to show that we are invested more than just.... We let you do all the work and take the credit. Plus, it would be good for our own horses and the pasture would help supplement feeding them."

She grins at them and would hunt on the way back.

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Survival Assist: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Stealth and perception is for when we get to camp to sneak up and see if anyone is still there.

Survival Assist is to map that hex after we are done.

Hella grins at them as they make their way out. "Cerian you don't mind taking point? You seem best suited for it."

Heh, Cerian I think you just qualified for scout.

NPC's::

Oleg--Owner of the Trading Post-Jovial man who is more than happy to assist the group with news and shelter.

Svetlana--Oleg’s Wife-Friend to Littlefang Smallscale and makes a mean MoonRadish soup. Excellent cook

Benny--Stableboy-Liberated from Bandit life and mothered by Hella.

Reynolt--Farmer-Liberated from Bandit life and accepted by the pack. Wants to just own a farm and live a less hectic life.

Neila--Den Mother-Liberated from Bandit Life. Nearly died and bears a light scar stomach to top of chest. Hella has designated her Den Mother. When the orphaned children and her son are rescued she will be given leave to be their Mother and help take care of them. Romantic interest of Cerian Screamingtrees

Sgt Grey--Second in command of the Guards

Lt Keston--Prefers just being called Keston and is in charge of the Guards at Oleg’s Outpost. Seems surprised by groups camaraderie having been expecting “traditional” adventurer’s who are thugs.

Littlefang Smallscale--A small emaciated looking black kobold that is the new shaman of the Sootscale Tribe. Very friendly to friends of Svetlana and likes raw meat. Especially heart.

6 Guards--Other guardsmen who currently don’t have a name.

Bokken--Crazy potion maker who thinks the stars stole all his chickens

Velken--Old hermit who was a hunter and trapper

Chief Sootscale--Will retire soon and one of his hatchlings will take his place with Littlefang’s support

Lord Sellemius--Sent Keston and his guards after finding spy in Restov. Sent us here in the first place

Alright I'm thinking of Making a link with Current known side missions and NPC's for quick reference. For now I will post what I can dig up from our thread on side missions.

Kill Falgrim Sneeg and bring back his head--Originator Keston--
He is a betrayer and an oath breaker and Keston happens to have it in for him on a personal level as well. In addition to the regular bounty on his head Keston is offering an additional bounty from his own personal armory of 4 Masterfully crafted weapons of your choice should you bring him his head. If you can confirm the kill but not retrieve the head he will still honor 1 weapon but for all 4 he needs the head.

Kill Tuskgutter and bring back his head-Orriginator: Velken--
He's a brute that has killed a number of the hunters and trappers in the area. Getting rid of him would certainly bring more hunters and trappers in to help tame the wilds. I even hear Velken, one of the old retired hermits in the area, former hunter himself, has offered a reward for the beasts head.

Kill Tatzylwyrm and bring body back mostly intact--Originator Oleg--
There's at least one tatzylwyrm in the area... If you can bring one of those in nearly intact Oleg would love to stuff it and put'er out for show. He will pay handsomely

Find Breeg and ‘liberate’ Reynolt’s Ax--Originator:Reynolt-- He's a nasty piece of work who traps out somewhere to the west of the camp. If there's a quick profit to be made you can bet he'll be nose deep in it. The Buck’s could never catch him to make him join up but we suspect he got to a few marks before the Doe's did. Reynolt did some dealings with him and he cheated him blind and picked his pocket, took his best axe. If you happen to 'liberate' it from him he'd like it back."

Grinning she would go saddle up Blue Moon as Wolf begged food off of Benny and Reynolt shamelessly.

"Alright Blue Moon another day of traveling. I promise you will get a day off soon enough." Blue just looks at her and snorts while he saddles her. Grinning at him she would lead him out and looks at Benny.

"Benny, you had time to play with the others with the game I bought?"

She basically had bought him all the stuff for a baseball game from the merchant before. I figured it would be kinda a fun down time activity for us that is just for fun.

"Just remember you have to teach me how to play when we have time to spare." Grinning at him before she grabbed Shrieker and let him take off into the air as their overhead eyes.

She would take the lead as they headed out.

Yep, checking out the camp first. Stealthily coming up on it at first just in case.

Hella smiles at Kesten and nods extending her hand out to shake it or arm if that was his type of shaking. "Alright Kesten, if there is anything you are your men need keep us informed. I know they sent you here but you are free to join our pack if you wish." She told him shaking his hand.

Looking to Oleg she smiles. "I am happy for her. It is because of her recommendation we found out first allies here. Now we can open trade with them and they can grow strong with proper food."

Smiling she walked over to Benny and gave him a hug picking him up in a bear hug before setting him back down. "Alright, well if you see or here of anything you want you tell me okay pup?" Hella looked at him with a smile and he could tell Pup was an endearment from her.

Looking to Reynolt. "Thanks for the advice and we will keep an eye out for it and him. Also for any traps he may have laid." She gives him a nod and seeing Neila look at her she smiled.

"We will bring him back to you. Though I think he comes running with tail wagging anytime we mention coming back here to you." She said teasingly.

Looking at Cerian and shakes her head slightly.

"Only check the bandit camp today. We will not push ourselves to hard. Even we need breaks and it would be good for us to stay and get to know the people here. We confirm that threat is moved and then we come back here. That is what I would say. First before we go we should talk with those here to see if they need anything or have news."

Looking to the Captain and the others waiting for them to answer her questions first then this was their chance to speak up.

By the way Jazzai is Hella, stupid phone

Looking between Cerian and Aluxion she nods. "I would say camp first then come back and start going around the fort. Know the land here and expand out."

Looking to Cerian and Miri. "So we need to think of where we want to explore. Right now we know that that camp is there and currently has more numbers than we really want to take on. That being said I believe Cerian had a point in knowing the territory around them. I can agree exploring the area around them and possibly picking off groups of them should we encounter them should be good. I don't think we are ready for a full assault yet. But, pack tactics and hit and run tactics we can herd the deer into places we want to strike them."

Hella shifted and looked at each in turn. "Also, should we get the chance to make allies in the territory we should. So if we don't need to attack it at first we shouldn't. Now, I am not saying drop your guard. I am saying, try to bring them into the pack and if they strike at us be ready to bring our fangs down on them. So Cerian, where would you suggest we start our exploration. I don't think we have mapped the territory between us and the bandit camp fully have we? If we have I would think to start circling from there but I want everyones advice and input."

Hella smiles and nods. "Many Kinds but one Pack." She said with a chuckle. "I am glad you like the concept.

She grins and chuckles. "Yes I think a Thycline would fit her well but in keeping with the wolf motif...we could put it as an aura around it. An outline. Like with Nedyr we could put an owl in or near his wolf. Shows that our pack is mixed with wonderful people and while all different are all Wolves and one Pack.

Hella nodded. "A moon wolf for you Nedyr. One looking at the moon without howling. A tree wolf for Cerian. One howling under a tree." She smiled as they moved back to the table and sat down. She would nod to Neila as they sit. "Hmm, what would fit Madam Miri." Hella mused allowed as she looked at the little gnome.

While waiting on the answer she asked Nedyr.

"So with what we have thrown out for Ideas for heraldry. What would fit the more traditional ways?"

Sorry Nedyr, our thoughts go out to you. Its fine we are at a nice sedate conversation pace. You should be fine.

Focus on family.

Hella smiles brightly. "Well so far we had decided tentatively on a background of bright green. With a pack of wolves on it. Each wolf to the color of our hair. Since we all have unique colors. Our allies would be marked with a cloth with a wolf's head. Silver for the Kobolds as our first allies. Though I am unsure of the specifics of it."

She would nod to Kesten and waves at Neila looking around for Benny and Reynolt seeing if they were up.

"I believe the Captain is right. We would have questions for any that get captured here while we are gone. I think that was a good choice. Plus, your mate would not like it to have such garbage on her walls. How is she this morning? I believe the gift the Kobold's gave her made her very happy."

Hella smiles at Oleg as Nedyr neatly summed it up.

"We had also been discussing how to mark our allies. I believe its called Heraldry. Anyways as everyone asked. What is with the new building?"

Hella would wave at Cerian before heading to checkout the new building.

"Sleep well? How is she doing?"

"Nah, let them sleep. We did come in late and had a tiring day. Plus, it just means we get to enjoy the start of the day and Svetlana's cooking before anyone else."

Grins as she would make her way to the benches waiting for Benny and Reynold to get up. Her hawk was perched on her arm looking around eyeing everything.

Hella will rise in the morning and do her morning routine to recover her spells. She also lets her hawk go flying for his morning breakfast as she waits for everyone to rouse.

She watched with amusement as their bubbly Miri trained her companion and her and her Wolf watched on. Once their training time was done Red Wolf would come over to play with Darbi.

Hella chuckles at Miri. "How are you this morning Miri? Bright and cheerful I take it?"

"I think a pack running together is a great symbol. Matters not what you were. Once you join us, you become a wolf and part of the pack. What you bring to the pack matters. I think that is something people can believe in." Hella shifts looking at the stars. "It is time to sleep. We can talk more in the morning. That way we can hear everyone's input." Hella would get up and head to the stables to check on Blue moon before heading to bed.

"I don't get it." She said referencing the motto joke. Shrugging she listened on.

"We could see if someone could do it for us. As for fangs...." She giggled as she got that one. "Don't you like being bit?"

She chuckled. "We can always get someone that knows these things better to make it for us. I think green would make the other colors show up better. Maybe a bright green?"

"Why don't we just use the color's of our hair? That would be unique in its own way. Or put wolves on it that are those colors? She smiles and would get up to take a bath leaving them for a bit. When she returned cleaned up she looked nice and refreshed. Her golden red hair catching the firelight much like her sunset orange eyes. There was that hint of something else about her that set her apart from humans.

"So motto? What is a motto?"

MIRI!!!!!!!!!!

*pounces and gives a wolf lick of greeting*

You are always welcome dear and we are here for you should you need anything.

Happy to have you back we missed you. Plus, I need another girl in the group. ^.^

"Ahh, so basically the fog of battle, the markings help them not accidentally kill their own. Good enough. Well, when we decide pack Alpha I guess their can be a hierarchy. Until then I say we chose one symbol for ourselves with the colors. Maybe make one of those fancy things that people put on top of poles... flags I think they are called." Shrugs looking at them.

"But we should have our love sick pup out here to discuss that. Nedyr, since you know more you can explain it to us as we travel so we have an idea of what it is. I think eventually the ones that sent us down here will want to see something like that."

She stretches and cracks her back. "So Svetlana, can I borrow your tub to bathe?"

"Heraldry? I was just talking something to mark our allies. What is heraldry anyways?" She asked chewing on a piece of meat.

Well exploring a hex takes actual time. Not just walking through it. Walking through it gives us only the most basic of knowledge. Not actual exploration.

Hella finds herself smiling a bit as the wolf's head was said to be used as a symbol. Are you keeping Mikmek in the conversation Nedyr?

"We are a pack. Maybe an unusual one but we are one. As for green, most would wear greens and browns here so it would blend into their clothing. That won't make it stand out from a distance. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. Though, silver thread may take a bit I think it would suit our allies."

As Aluxion told the tale she looked at him in mild shock trying to recall the worg exchange. She didn't think she had stared them down. But it was clear she wasn't going to say anything. Just thinking to see if that was how it was perceived. She ran a hand through her auburn hair. It was a bit of a mess. She would need to bath soon. Her sunset orange eyes just looked like a dark orange in the fire light.

"So, in the morning we can decide what we want to do. The camp we still haven't dealt with but with our numbers we should keep to hit and run tactics. Also, find their small groups and deal with them as they go out to hunt. But that is for the morning. Tonight, I think a bath and a good sleep is in order after all of Svetlana's great cooking."

Aerosmith I don't want to miss a thing

Cerian you have made my day brighter.

Hella nods. "She would be good for him. A fine wolf pair." Her wolf nuzzled her hand and she petted him and fed him some of what she was eating causing his tail to wag. "So, should we ask Mikmek if he is staying here or coming with us as we travel? As a warrior I am unsure what he would want to do. I do think since we have so many extra horses maybe we can give him one as a sign of friendship? Though I think a wolf would be better."

I can't either. ^.^

Best of Luck!
