Hey everyone, it was a fun game, thanks for running EltonJ. Was definitely a fun little excursion into the Dark Sun setting. Veleron has interests in trying to find local druid's in the area for reasons that likely concern dealing with trying to protect the land and to see what they might know or have learned in their years of study. He would eventually carry on to other towns/settlements. @Josie, I totally blanked on the herbalist thing. Apologies on my part!
'Speak for yerselves. Hope to leave as soon as I can, perhaps a quick stop at a herbalist somewhere in there..." Veleron eyes the city ruefully.
Veleron will continue having his Hyenas inflict as much possible hurt on the Halfling brigade until the spell ends or they are killed.
4 more rounds of Hyena Hijinks:
Veleron then calls upon the power of the desert as he summons an making it so that the storm's edge (that is closest to the Caravan) starts at the middle-front section of the Halfling Brigade, and then rolls back into the rest of the Halfling group from there. He will let his Shifting Sands continue shifting audaciously where he summoned it previously.
Ash Storm Spell:
Driving ash blocks all sight (even darkvision) within the spell's area of effect, and falling cinders cause the ground in the area to become difficult terrain. School: Conjuration (Creation, Fire)
"Rawr!"
Veleron eggs his Hyenas on and then casts a spell at the Halflings.
Shifting Sand:
Range=170 feet Area=20 foot spread You cause an earthen or sandy surface to shift and churn within the area. The shifting sand obliterates tracks and is considered difficult terrain. Acrobatics checks in the area take a penalty equal to your caster level (-7). Creatures entering or beginning their turn in the shifting sand must make a Reflex save each round (DC 16) or become entangled until the beginning of their next turn. If they attempt to move while entangled, they must make a second Reflex save or fall prone. Creatures with the stability racial trait (like dwarves) may apply it as a bonus on their saving throws. As a move action, you may move the area of shifting sand up to 10 feet in any direction. Creatures that are entangled or prone in the spell's area are carried along with the shifting sand in the same direction if possible. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Unattended Medium or smaller objects may also be carried along or shallowly buried by the shifting sand.
His pack of Hyenas move to up to greet the halflings, front in the hopes of some dinner.
Hyena Basics:
AC/FF/Touch= 14/12/12 HP= 13 Speed=50 CMB/CMD= +3/15 (19 vs trip) Fort/Reflex/Will= 5/5/1 Perception= +8, Low-Light Vision, Scent Veleron will begin to shimmer with concealment as his feline form moves to join the Half-Giants.
Veleron eyes the puny halflings with distaste, his characteristic low growl emitting out from his fanged mouth. He begins to cast Summon Nature's Ally 3, calling out several Hyenas.
Veleron has decided to spend the day as a large cat, ignoring any discomfort it might cause he uses his new forms speed and the Longstrider spell to keep a hefty pace and an eye, and nose, out for trouble.
Veleron shrugs. "I don't really remember either, the ol' noggin sometimes gets a little confused on eventful days. What if we do something like this..."
Veleron is happy to oblige Josie for tea, it is a rare treat that he rarely gets to partake in. He takes on air of great knowing: ”If you have to ask, then you may never know it’s true joy.” A quick nodback to the Half-Giant as well, briefly considering if he took toocshild wash, and then deciding not too. As far as the nightly watches are concerned, he happily takes over second, or third watch depending on who is doing wha that th is point ).
Veleron will drink from the watering hole but will cast Purify Food and Water on everything he drinks. Otherwise, he will look around for any signs of creatures that frequent the hole. Otherwise, he will strip down to sleep for the evening. Mmm, sand.
Veleron keeps his eyes trained towards the Elves as well, he sighs to himself at the Half-Giants words and clamps his mouth. Talking did only seem to get him into trouble, the Half-Giant spoke sense. Still... His nose twitches as he briefly considers further comments before giving up. City folk are a strange lot.
Veleron stops and clears his throat, doing his best to shrug off the failed attempt and to maintain a semblance of face.
As the group tries conversing:
Oh wow. Definitely fast paced!
Same here, I played once on Roll20 a few years back. I’d be interested though.
Veleron feigns injury, rubbing the back of his head while quickly scuttling away from further blows. Yes'M. Right away! No need to be so violent" He will grab a knife and attempt to move to a section of the worm not being worked on and begin his own efforts."[/b].
Veleron will shift back to his Dwarven form. ”That’s a good boy, Thank yer for your assistance.” He inspects the acid burns on his skin for a minute and pokes himself with his Wand of Cure Light wounds.
That bloody worms acid hurts... Err, Azhul, cut over there.” He points with his recently used wand. ”Thems the best parts me thinks.”

Veleron roars and then him and the Leopard charge the Worm.

Defense and Information Tracker: AC= 15/11/14 CMD:23 (27 vs Trip) Battlecry Hex Prayer Eventually Wildshape-Dire Tiger Low-Light Vision, Scent
Veleron nods approvingly at Josie's comments concerning elemental magic. But otherwise, adds nothing to the conversation.
Veleron heads over to hear the news. "I've always liked Pterrans, I've broken biscuits with their kind. Friend;y lot usually."
Veleron gives Josie a winning smile. "What's not to be cheerful about out here? The sun above us and the lands about us, with a path ahead of us. Nor a defiler in sight. Perhaps today will bring more violence, but for now, we are within nature." Veleron brow does furrow slightly at the thought of more attacks, and he will continue on with his normal place towards the center of the group. He keeps his eyes open for trouble as well.
Nothing really comes to mind, I'm always a fan of some sort of extra-dimensional space. Their relatively cheap (or at least several are) and it's hard to oversell their utility. If you want a little bit more than just space, and end up with a bit more reagents you could make a Bag of Concealment type 1. I can't think of anything cheap that would help with your summoning though. Another cheap item that comes to mind is the Robe of Infinite Twine. Lots and lots of rope...
Veleron goes about his morning business. He uncouthly gives his rear a few good long scratches in response to some sand in the area. "Ahhhh, that's the stuff." He wiggles his rump in satisfaction. "Sand, such a playful thing sometimes. Well, I slept quite well myself. Nothing better than the desert sand to make its presence known 'everywhere'." Veleron, for whatever reason, seems quite lively today as he goes about his morning rituals and castings. He contemplates how far they have traveled so far and ponders how much further they have to go.
Veleron will eventually return back to his normal form, not wanting to stay a Large Tiger overtly long for fear of spooking the animals. At Night:
Veleron will growl angrily at the Elves and casts the spell. He then moves towards the Elves, setting up a charge lane but still keeping his distance.
Active Defenses: AC= 19, Touch 11, Flat-Footed 18 CMD= 23, 27 vs Trip Iron Skin, Prayer, Frostbite (6 Charges)
Veleron decides to stay near the Caravan and casts a spell, , at the Elves, attempting to catch as many as he can in the Southern group in a 20 foot spread (also trying to avoid catching any Aurochs).
Shifting Sands:

Current Defenses: AC= 19, Touch 11, Flat-Footed 18 CMD= 23, 27 vs Trip Partial Concealment (20% Miss chance, per the Blur spell) Iron Skin, Prayer
Veleron will hold off to see what the remaining Elves are going to do, should they behave, then so shall he.
Should they not behave...:
Modified Stats and Short-Term Buffs: AC= 17, Touch 9, FLat-Footed 16 CMD= 23, 27 vs Trip Partial Concealment (20% Miss chance, per the Blur Spell) Iron Skin, Prayer
Veleron casts Iron Skin on himself, and then his Feline features become hard to make out as they start to shift and wave.
Modified Current Defenses: AC= 19, Touch 11, FLat-Footed 18 CMD= 23, 27 vs Trip Partial Concealment (20% Miss chance, per the Blur Spell) Scent and Low-Light Vision while Wildshaped
Veleron eyes the signs of ambush, muttering under his breath.
Veleron will then cast ironskin if there's a chance before combat ensues.
Veleron continues on with the caravan, concerns about the defiler furrowing his brow for a while. Though as the distance grows from the Elven Village, his mood lightens.
"Aye, me too, getting into a scrap with that Burned Lot rarely comes without loss."
Veleron will charge the defiler, his short little stubby legs carrying him as fast as they might, he starts to become blurry as he does so, drawing on the latent heat of the desert itself. He swings his Scimitar with all the furry that the desert traveler could possibly muster.
Heat Shimmer: Heat Shimmer (Su): As a free action, you can surround yourself with heat distortion that acts as the blur spell. Creatures that strike you in melee while you’re using this ability are dazzled for 1 round (Fortitude negates). You may use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. These rounds need not be consecutive.
Veleron is ready to show the defiler the blade of his scimitar... or the fangs of a ferocious beast.
Veleron looks back at the (presumed) young lady and smiles, a tooth or two missing. "No ma'am, I am not too fond of any who would use arcane magic, though I'll tolerate those who would Preserve the world as needed. For those of us who tap into the magic of the elemental forces though, I tolerate ye as much as I tolerate the Sun and the Earth. As it is, I too can draw upon the magic of the various elements as needed." As people start going into town. Veleron will move to Tarkahas and help watch.
GM: So, I saw this in the Recruitment thread, I just want to be clear. The spell Create Water is allowed? Are there any limitations or drawbacks, or anything special about it?
Veleron flusters slightly at Josie's comment, responding in brief snark-
Veleron groans inwardly, hitting another village so soon after having just left Tyr did not amuse him in the slightest. He scratched at his chin where a beard might have been, a sign of annoyance to be sure. If that weren't all bad enough: "...More Elves!?" he reflexively started to reach for his pack before thinking better of himself. "I suppose we will need more supplies."
Veleron returns to his spot as well. Defiler or not, he "had" to get to Kurn. This was very important to him in a way the words simply could not describe, and so even the thought of the Defiler slowly eased its presence on his mind. As he rides towards his position, he takes a moment to swing in with Azhul, pausing beside the Half-Giant awkwardly for a few moments, clearly not accustomed to much social interaction. Finally,
Link to Info on Pyreen Neat, didn't know any of this.
Yeah, Veleron is a strange lot. Desert Druid and all he approaches things from a peculiar fashion. So he's just been observing to see what there is to see from this group before necessarily offering direct aid (he would have course, retroactively, offered aid should things have gotten dire...). ^_^
At the mention of a defiler, Veleron stands to the fullest of his 58 inches and looks nothing short of livid. He begins to speak
Stopping upon hearing the Caravan masters decision, he harrumphs. "So shall it be then. By mark my words, the wrath of the lands will befall our venture should we choose to do nothing." He gives the Elves a final glance before turning back towards the Caravan.
Veleron eyes the others from behind. Finally, deciding to join in on the action at the sight of elves. Grumbling to himself as he approaches.
He briefly considers offering aid, despite his better judgement, before seeing such aid has been given.
