"Ouda, do these tracks lead to or from the White Tower? Or somewhere else? Could they be Lizardfolk prints?
"Healing, he needs some healing. Ottarr can you help him?" Sturdy points to the centaur's wounds.
"I have never seen outsiders this deep into our realm...what brings you here? You say you are the enemies of Karuu?" "We are on a quest to put an end to her existence. Could you point us to her white tower?" "Yes. Speaking of which, it isn't a good idea to say that name out loud."
Sturdy stows his maul and shows the centaur his empty hands, "we mean you no harm centaur, we are friends of this wood and enemies of Karuu the evil witch"
"There, about 20 feet ahead in the wood" Sturdy points the centaur out to Rin.
Sturdy spots an injured centaur ahead in the wood.
Sturdy takes the lead and uses what Deimos told them about the way to the ruins of the white tower as well as his intimate relationship with trees to guide their path.
Visions of sugar plums and magic items dance in Sturdy's head
Battering Maul +3, Lvl 11
"Deimos, we encountered an armored warrior who had "passed" some time ago leaning against the Tree of Life..." Sturdy continues to describe the skeleton figure, "Do you know who this may have been or anything about this apparently magical sword he(she) was carrying?" Sturdy points to the bastard sword in Rin's possession.
Sturdy shows the group the witch's brand upon him.
Sturdy fills his waterskin with purified water from within the cave beneath the Tree of Life.
Sturdy investigates the area to determine the party's whereabouts.
Sturdy gives himself the once over to check for injuries. "Strangely, I feel fine. Where are we?"
Sturdy's maul sprouts a thorny whip which reaches out towards the Floating Abomination wrapping around it and pulling into the spikes.
Sturdy slams his maul into the water calling forth the roots of the tree to strike back against these foes.
Also, looks like we need to knock these things prone into the water, so if you've got a power that can do so, use it now. Evil - What is the trip mechanic in 4e, no books on me?
...turns out your friend here is only mostly dead...it would take a miracle
Sturdy's maul transforms into a whip of thorns. First he strikes out at one of the annoying parasites pulling it under the water, then he extends the whip farther, lassoing the ooze and pulling it closer.
Sturdy, again defends himself against an onslaught preparing to return the favors shortly.
I'm not convinced we're going to make it out of here but I'll put a wishlist together.
Sturdy quickly recovers from being tossed like a piece of popcorn by the brute, then chrages into the muck hopefully freeing Ordagg, but quickly realizes he may still be feeling the effects of being slammed.
"Let these vile creatures come to me!"
Evil Keep Out!: I have an Athletics +14, so I know I could double move and get there. I have a feeling those two things by the walls are ranged dudes, I don't want to see your familiar get shot out of the air. If all these things converge on us, we will most likely have to kill them before getting to the heart because they'll keep us pinned down.
Party members only: I don't think we should fight these things on their turf. Getting into the muck puts them at the advantage. I say we make a stand on the ground near the cave entrance. I can lock most of them down from the front and you all can blast away from behind me. Or my other idea is, if we can find the vial, we can make a break for the heart and hope healing the tree kills all these beasts. What do you think?
Sturdy will slowly wade out into the muck, testing its depth as he goes. He will grab Ouda's body and attempt to drag it back out.
"Follow me then"
"There's a suit of armor and a bastard sword if anyone's interested. I don't hear any sounds from down inside the tree. Is everyone ready to enter or do we need more time to recover?" |
