"Oh very little that would be of much use to your flock I would guess. Some magic clothing designed for more bipedal creatures, a heavy iron cauldron. It's heavy enough as it is carrying it all out of there. Oh, and if I may your feathers are looking marvelous. Like they were plucked from the midnight sky itself."
"if the accusations against the brothel are true then we should look at trying to deal with him. I am against business practices that would use their workers as slaves. Does little to benefit the economy, let alone the morality behind it. While I am not one to see an head on a pike if the current government is too decayed to deal with this man it will fall to us to ensure proper law is enforced. For the task at hand, should we clean up and hide the bodies to lay a trap for the final hag or try and position ourselves at the mouth of the entrance up top to do so?"
"Do you think they were providing potions to someone? The kidnapping of the children seems more in line with the hags own goals than that of a higher power."
Tarson will raise the holy symbol of Abadar and let its silver light radiate to heal those around him.
If anyone else needs any assistance, I can channel as well to help heal all wounds as well." In the meantime, Tarson will assist with collecting any gear on the enemies.
Tarson will take a double move to begin heading towards the safe passage to get nearer to the enemy. He will also pull out his crossbow as he does so.
Sorry for the recent delays. I've recently sold my house so I've been doing so much packing. Things have settled down now.
Tarson will take a step back and then issue a command to the Etin Fall!"
Tarson will jerk a hand towards the Etin in a attempt to damage it's skeelton
"DO any of us have a way of closing that empty space between us?"
"I have an arror of law prepared to deal with that, but otherwise, I will need to rely on steel to slay. Most of my spells are prepared to support our group."
Tarson is unable to provide much help in the picking of the traps but is able to cast guidance to assist with the use of disable device.
Now that it is clear it is safe he will approach.
"Normally I am one to negotiate first but we are in a bit of a rush to destroy the hags before the leader arrives and we have little bargaining power with these creatures. If they are working with the hags, we can assume the deal is foul as well. I would vote for giving the chance for parley and then battle if they will not."
I had my child last year so I know the feels! Congrats and we will be hoping for a healthy delivery!
Tarson will produce a skull from his backpack and chants a spell before it suddenly leaps out from his hand and begins to orbit around his body. "Helgrim I plan to enchant your weapon with magic and also provide you a shield of faith once we are further inside. These blessings only last a couple minutes so I do not want to risk them running out. Also, Freja I will use protection from evil on you to provide additional defense. Finally I will cast a bless upon the group as well." As he speaks be will move up to cast barkskin on Helgrim as well. "This should last forty minutes so I will enchant your flesh now."
"Sounds like we are to engage them in the tunnels then. Do we have an idea on the time frame it will take to reach their main lair? I would hate to waste any spells if they were to run their course before we even reached them."
Before he leaves Tarson will provide a card with his full name and title with the church. "If you ever need advice or wish to look into integrating with the town non-violently just let me know. I am excited to see what our cultures can provide to one another. After making his way back with the rest of the group. "It does sound like luring them out is the best bet. Are we sure that both will arrive to check in with the harpies? If we are only able to take out one the other one will most likely be alerted to the danger below."
A slight gleam came to the cleric's eye as he started to engage with the harpies. "I'll be happy to explain. They say cleanliness is next to godliness after all. I'm sure, with time, you will find that acting more in line with the rule of law would bring great benefits to your flock. As for the hags, it may be best to try and lead them out. Who knows what traps or secret escapes they have in their lair."
"If what you are saying is true. I believe the girls may have a chance to be lured away by the hag. It sounds like they will have a connection to her that, if they follow, could result in them joining her coven. If what you say about their morality is true, that sounds unlikely. Still, if you are worried we can go check up on the children after we handle the hags here. I will not put a child in harm's way just to spring a potential trap."
"It sounds clear what we need to do then. We shall either capture or kill the two remaining hags and lay a trap for the thrid when she comes back with her kin correct?"
As the family reunion takes place tarson will begin to examine him for any other wounds, signs of disease, etc.
"It is good to see you unharmed sir. I would have hated to arrive only to find you in need of a cleric for a forced wedding. His face remains stone, unclear on if he was making a joke or not.
"This sounds like a good deal as well. I think it's safe to say we will be able to handle those hags as long as we are able to use your aerie as an entrance. The last thing we want is for you or your own to be harmed."
"I am versed in negotiations if we want to operate under the assumption they do have their father. I would not take much faith in them following any sort of agreement without the expectation of force being ready to enforce it as well. As we have seen with how quickly they have gone against the hags they do not seem to have much loyalty."
Tarson will ensure his crossbow is loaded as they continue on.
"We do know where the harpies are. Mounting a resuce operation may be the best move at this point."
Tarson looks a bit surprised at his holy symbol before nodding his head. "Abadar graces us today. Sadly I am not skilled at tracking either. "
Tarson will move outside, making sure to stay behind the area they fear to cross. For now he will wait for his companions to give sign for him to channel.
Tarson rubbed his chin as the harpy finished up on her information. "The hags are cause of concern. While we could most likely deal with the harpies given time they hags themselves are most likely able to hassle us with their spell casting. It may make sense to try to gather some information about their capabilities. The last one brings me great worry. She sounds like a possible worshiper of He who Hangs above the Boneyard. His worshipers are nuisances, preaching about the end on street corners. At their worst... They try to usher them in. For now let me know when we plan to leave this area. I should be able to destroy those shadows, or at worst cause them to flee."
"I may be able to assist against the undead. My holy powers can harm them but I can not do much to avoid if they flee. It may be best to stay here until we can find a safe way to deal with those beasts."
Ludvic will also chime in as well to support Wulf's arguments. IN addition, if things begin looking grim in negotiations he will use his racial ability to cast Charm Person.
With the shadows held at bay Ludvic will ready a action to move and heal anyone who is hurt by the harpy, but will otherwise stay still.
Tarson will move towards the center of the building and activate his deflection Aura. For the next 4 rounds everyone with in 20 feet of him will gain a +2 deflection bonus to AC as his holy symbol Glows white and forms small protective glows about his comrades.
Tarson will move out from the silence and wait until he sees a harpy crawl in, at that point he will cast boneshaker.
”After we have cleared up this resistance I will look at using my floating disc to begin moving the scale. This may be a long term project. I can assure you the church will pay for its return. In the mean time allow me to prepare us for battle.” He will cast bark skin on helmgrip for a +2 to natural armor. Next he will cast defending bone, causing a skull to begin orbiting around his body. Finally bright light will burst from his holy symbol as he casts bless on the party.
”I will need to inform my superiors about this. A shame that something so impressive is stuck here in these ruins. If I may let me say a quick prayer.” “Guide our hand in making our explorations profitable and protect us from those who seek to bring down the works of civilization. May our efforts be emulate the perfections found in your vault. So it is judged.” At that point Tarson will investigate the ruins and also try to appraise the scales as well.
” I’m not familiar with what could be causing those strange noises.”
He will offer his hand to give a return handshake.
”Very well than! It looks like we were about to head into this tunnel correct?”
“It was not me. I am not much of a whistler myself. As for my race the best way I can describe it is my father was a vampire and my mother a human. Because of that I share some common traits with the undead. While I eat, drink, and sleep as normal please be advised that only negative energy can heal me.”
He will chuckle as he reaches into his back pack to produce a small sealed scroll. "I have instructions to destroy that once it has been read. I'm not aware of what it says but it should prove everything that I claim. I can't promise it's not explosive runes." He smiled at his own joke before going on. "I find most creatures are shy to attack a long wandered who strides as if he owns the place. It confuses them. I imagine the threat you provide left them hesitant to risk being attacked from the back if they came after me."
His steps were measured and rhythmic as he strode through the ruins. He was dressed in a breast plated emblazoned with the Abadar key upon it's front, the dress of a cleric underneath the armor. His hands were folded behind him until he noticed the group in front of him. At that point he extended both hands, a greeting showing they were empty. A bright smile flashed their way showed off a pair of sharp canines as he spoke. "Good day. Judging by your appearances I assume you are all here on formal business? My name is Tarson Lierdien. I've been sent on behalf of the church to provide assistance in local civic reform. Am I correct in assuming you share the same zeal for public service?" Once he had confirmation this was the correct adventuring group he would open up a bit more on his mission.
Hello! I’ve been invited to play with you all after applying to the GM’s ustalav game. I’ve had experience playing pathfinder for the last 8 years and actually Dm’ed rise of the run lords, shatter star, strange aeons and carrion crown. I have some good support ready to bring with our cleric here!
Their are a bunch of really cool concepts here! I’m excited to see who gets picked.
