Orion suddenly looks shocked
*gasp* "Did I leave the gas on?"
She then shifts to the form of a small air elemental and is out the door like a minuscule zephyr.

Good gaming everyone!
"Word of mouth can get distorted over time, so boos are good in that regard. However, people tend to think just because something is written down its true. That can be a problem when they're wrong. "
"How many people are they going to call in for this thing?"
I have summons for trap checkers.
"Balance?" Hamish says inquisitively. "There's a big hole in the universe spittin out demons up north if you want to correct balances." He thumbs towards Leafripper. "And one of his mates got ate by a bloody walking salad bowl it's a mad world. I'm just asking if there's one real good reason to risk life and livelihood to go trompin down the nose of a man's smiling house who can apparently move his island halfway round the god's damned world. Dun know bout you but that's the sort of gaffer I'd rather not meet right?" "Perhaps you'd like to stay here have some tea and put your feet up? " Orion asks sardonically? "How about because it's what we pathfinders do?!? We explore the strange and mysterious and spread the knowledge. "
"He's clearly upsetting the balance. He needs to be corrected. " Orion says sternly.
"I highly doubt it's a dragon turtle....unless hey have a secret we don't know...""Well, yea. Plus Islands usually don't move. When they do it's never good. Unless it's a dragon turtle, but then it probably wouldn't be on a map in the first place. " Orion agrees. "No. Probably not a dragon turtle. "
"Plan B for when the greenies get themselves killed?"
He smiles "yes, as I'm not quite strong enough to properly fight up close with someone, and I lack the explosive magics of the arcane, I use my divine magics to animate objects to strike down my opposition for me" "Yea. I do something similar, but I do have a few explode-y tricks if I need them. "
the black armored aasimar, annoied at being ignored earlier attempts conversation again "I'd bet good money that's what it is, it's all too common arcane casters get it in their heads that they're invinceable and then they go and build some fortress to show off""Funny, for a bloke who doesn't want to be watched and went through all the trouble of developing counters to stone manipulation to protect himself that he'd pick the most obvious I am here sign in the world to live on.""Maybe it's a dare. Or a trap. or both. "
"Wizards do tend to get a big head about stuff. They often forget that there's always a bigger predator somewhere. It's best not to poke the bear, so to speak." "I got distracted earlier. What were you saying about cheap magical constructs?"
"Funny, for a bloke who doesn't want to be watched and went through all the trouble of developing counters to stone manipulation to protect himself that he'd pick the most obvious I am here sign in the world to live on." "Maybe it's a dare. Or a trap. or both. "
"Well, yea. Plus Islands usually don't move. When they do it's never good. Unless it's a dragon turtle, but then it probably wouldn't be on a map in the first place. "
"Fair enough. I guess the solution would have been to bring your party with you when you went to save the sparrow. But I'm glad everyone made it out mostly unscathed. "
"Hey Look!" Nudging leaf ripper. "It's not a new island. It's just in the wrong place. See. This is the island I flew over (pointing to an island in the Eye of Apendego). It's easy to spot because it looks like a grinning face. Instead of being where its should be it's all the way over here (pointing to the islands current location). Also, nothing grows around the 'nose' on the face. That's probably where the corruption lies. "
Will everyone who doesn't have linguistics trained give me an untrained roll to see if you can reduce the DC on some of this information? You feel like your getting some of it, but with a bit more effort, might just get it all. (Anyone with it trained already has the DC reduction) Orion leafs (pun intended) even as he continues the conversation.
Sorry for the change, but Leafripper is The Flame, i just thought this would be appropriate."Did I overhear your name is 'Leafripper?' Why would you have such violent tendencies towards something as usually harmless as leaves? " "Ahh. Yea. Those can be nasty. I ran into one of those vines before. It did not go well. "

"I bet it would be, I sort of have a good sense of humor.""I usually send summoned creatures. They're REALLY useful. Have you ever seen a clouder, that's a group of cats, pounce on some angry gnolls? It's hysterical. " "Best part is you can't even hurt the summoned creatures. They go back to the planes completely unharmed. It's perfect! "
"Thanks." Orion says as he joins them at the table. He has to hop a bit to get into the chair. "Why is everything always sized for humans. You'd think someone considers them the norm or something. I digress. I'm here because of the island and I my presence was requested. I've got some (brief pause) rather unique talents that may be useful. It's hard to keep me down. " Note: The gnome is in no way physically imposing or even particularly hearty looking.
" I don't understand. Isn't that exactly what emergency teleportation resources are for? Is the bird ok? "
"I usually send summoned creatures. They're REALLY useful. Have you ever seen a clouder, that's a group of cats, pounce on some angry gnolls? It's hysterical. "
Orion takes the book and looks at it curiously. He starts to read after a minute. You get the impression that he hasn't done this in awhile. However after a moment he appears to be having no problem. Linguistics Knowledge:
As the venture captain leaves he allows himself a small chuckle and turns to the rest. "Well, my name is Mad Hamish and I'm a professional dark delver and expert at not dying. And you all are?" HI! Pleased to meet you. I'm Orion Snow, Druid of Gozreh. I got the note, but it also reminded me that I haven been back to the lodge in ages. You may have heard of me, but it's been a long time, so perhaps not. It's different than I remember. Bigger I think. I suppose that it's natural to add buildings and such over time. Oh, I'm rambling aren't I? I'm here because of the note and the island. I did a flyover on the way here. it's very weird and definitely unnatural. I wasn't going to get too close though. I figured the pathfinders will have some information about it and go as a group.
Anyone who can see out the front window (or door if it's open) sees a small sized air elemental come at high speed from the sky and stop about 5 feet from the door. Without completely stopping the elemental solidifies into a brown wild haired friendly looking gnome. He falls about an inch as he solidifies. His clothing is simple and earth toned (go figure). He walks boldly into the room and looks around. Edit: he carries no obvious weapon. Also he's barefoot.
On the next turn I want to turn and grab the bird's leg above the claw and prepare to climb up it when it tries to drop me.
I misunderstood what was happening. I'm going to AOO it then attempt to break the grapple (rolled an 18) and climb on top of it. It's a big bird, right. Basically I'm trying to reposition so I am behind it's head between it's wings. Holding on for dear life to the creatures neck feathers. Once up there I'll see what to do. Either choke it or crack it in the back of the head. Whatever's easier.
Orion is going to slash at the thing with his claws (AOO) and try and jump on it's back. Orions wings unfurl as he catches the breeze to aid his leap. AOO Acrobatics to jump CMB to grapple
Ref 11 fire damage. ::Hell if I know.:: Orion grabs his ax and readies to defend himself.
Orion readies an action to jump up to and on the creature should it get close enough. Telepathically through the link ::Should we just leave the dragon gods men to die as we get out of here? I'd rather not have to fight everything.::
Slightly confused
He has no idea if that's true. It might be as far as he knows. Casts mage armor. Bluff if needed
Perception
I'm around. Just FYI.
Not entirely sure where I was going with Orion. He's got anger issues with his lineage.
It happens sometimes with games. They lose momentum sometimes.
Orion suddenly stops and speaks softly. Putting his hand on the person in front of him and to the side."Shh. I hear armored men in front. More of them than us. We may not be spotted yet, but I can't be sure. "
Hour 1 Survival
Perception
I'm here
I'm going to assume this game is dead. If that changes someone please message me to let me know.
Is there any chance of this going back up, Caleth? If at all possible, I would very much like to continue. I was just coming on to ask if the game has died?
"I shall take first watch." Orion offers.
Gorak squints at the sun and surveys the land to see if he can determine the right direction.
Orion calms himself and moves with the group, but he gives the fey a dirty look.
