Fellow players and DM: My wife was diagnosed with AML (leukemia) and started chemo. My heart and effort hasnt been in any of my games. I withdraw with regret. Any thoughts and prayers are appreciated!! Make sure you keep Ahto from his prospective suitor.
Warren shakes his head.
He looks at their huge new ally. "Sadly, I cannot take our new friend. But I am sure he can climb after we get into position."
Warren performs another aerial reconnaissance as a small eagle. He looks for alternate ways in.
Not seeing anything, he states:
Warren and his eagles stay up high, not needing to hide at 400 feet up in the air.
Warren and his eagles scan for clues and tracks.
Warren and his eagles scout from above and keep alert as they approach.
”I will follow the diplomats—I am ready for trouble.”
"Hello Elga. I am Warren and this is Hoot."
"So a few boats make things a lot easier. I will scout from the sky as we travel to look for danger."
Warren approaches Althea. "Do you wish to see what the owl and his network of birds reveals before proceeding? Hoot says it will take a day to consolidate reports."
"Hoot want to assemble some of the new birds he has been recruiting and scout the area for her. And, Hoot approves of hunting these bloodthirsty fey as they need to learn respect for humans and animals in the lands."
Warren and Hoot confer and Warren returns to speak has Hoot looks on to make sure the human gets the word right. "Hoot says expanding the borders is wise. Not rewarding subordinates with initiative is very unwise. And the lady seems to have a solid plan with a follow up."
If Stayven is going into melee too, he can grab the amulet. Warren will grab the bracers. Converting to BP now a good idea to get economy going. In the future I say we go for gold to get better equipped.
Hoot and Warren vote for claiming gold and mining it ASAP and connecting to Olegs. Economy first!! Hoot wants to be general (20 strength). He mentioned aerial defenses of Horace need work. Warren can take over as marshal (18 str), probably a lesser role than general to make Hoot happy. Stayven would be an awesome treasurer.
Warren explains "It would have been like marrying a praying manthis. She might have to bite off your head sometime in the future."
Warren nods and whispers to Stayven. "Fishing at the lake is more fun. This seems dangerous."
Warren politely waited for an answer to his question, and when none was forthcoming, he went to see the herald. ”Had you come earlier you would have seen an execution. I am hoping we can keep fae deaths to a minimum. Seems some fail to obey the rule of law.”
Warren and Hoot ensure the problematic fae creature Hoot grabbed attends. As the blow descends: ”No biggie right—you guys just come back again right??”
Warren nods as Hoot sends him a telepathic message. He says to the fey spokesman. ”Hoot is unhappy with the lack of respect the fey ones give to all avians in this area. This storm would kill small birds. But from now on know you were released as his prey on the pleasure of this kingdom. Your days of bullying the sylvan creatures is over. I don’t know if I translated this part correctly mr spokesman, but Hoot said always remember Who’s your daddy!@
”Explain why you were going to destroy property and kill people.”
And the patient advocates or ombudsperson
It appears our DM had this in his master plan. I shouldn't have been so impatient.
Warren laughs and speaks to the three others.
He speaks to the spokesman: "Hoot needs an offering for our king!! He will probably show mercy on you."
Warren just wants respect from these impudent fairies more!!
No problem. I lobbied against the split, and have no problem with hand waving the end. I just don’t want to go fishing after being ditched again.
After a protracted race across the lake to the tower at eagle speeds it would be surprising if you arrived in less than minutes. I thought this would be the new guys earning their way on the team moment doing something by themselves, but if this is the end of the split party plan that would be good in itself in my opinion.
I moved Warren assuming the storm isn't abating and Stayven's amazing diplomatic overture is rebuffed. Eagles can fly fast.
Warren awaits the response of Staven's reasonable request. If the storm doesn't begin to die down, Warren flies with a lesser totem transformation and leads his flock to visit the creatures in the top of the tower, flying the distance with ease. "I would stop this now."
Warren casts a spell and he grows much stronger and heads inside with his eagles.
Warren summons again and 4 celestial eagles appear in total.
Summon eagles
Warren and Monty fly to the tower, and Warren returns to human form at the threshold with Stayven, backing him up. Warren begins to summon more eagles to aid him. "Stayven, this may get dicey. Tegan, the tower!!"
Warren waves Tuney on, who continues to win the race. Warren cries out to Hoot and descends with Montey while Hoot spurs into action.
The eagles stay low to avoid the higher currents.
Warren flaps awkwardly missing a critical adjustment to the currents.
Warren, Monty and Tuney all compete as a trio of eagles, and Monty and Tuney will be helping Warren draft to get more speed at the end.
Warren, having trained to fly since he could partially shape into an eagle, has an exceptional run.
Warren laughs at the fey and gets ready to race. He tries to prod Hoot into joining, and translates his response. "Hoot will be critiquing the race and looking for foul and fowl play. I am in good gentlemen."
"Hey, the rulers seem to be on town business. I am going exploring. Who is with me?"
Warren respects others privacy, when excluded he was happy to fish with his friends. BUt he wont be spying on Pelipe. I don't know if we are going to do our own separate stuff or go as a party. As a DM I prefer the latter, but hey I'm just the new guy, I may even start exploring a Hex with hoot and invite my new friends along.
Warren takes some hefty pulls on the hooch jug and tries his luck.
Warren hefts both catches and admits Stayven's string of fish a little heavier. "I buy whatever this stuff is next time!!" Warren uses fishing as an excuse to take his shirt off and get some sun. "We probably should let Hoot have some too."
”Lets do some fishing!! ”
Meanwhile, in Horace, Warren and Hoot offer their new friends an aerial tour of Horace. ” you gotta see it from the sky and we wanna try some of those mutagens to increase our lifting capacity!”
Warren reflects and adds "I do want a place animals have more rights. I had to buy Hoot from a fancy menagerie owned by a Brevan noble. According to his former owner, his behaviour is even worse in captivity!" Poor guy, I am like totally ripped--wait Tegan is pretty ripped too He smiles at Tegan "You think Hoot lets me maintain his coat?? Only if I ask nice. Hoot is here to look for a mate, but I have told him it is unlikely we find one of his kind here. Hoot says since I am always wrong, he is sure one is here."
Warren smiles at the invitation.
After Warren puts Hoot in a barn he tours the town. He bows to Tegan.
After another death stare from Hoot, Warren adds:
"I worship the elder god Gozreh--Not a popular choice if you are from Brevoy. My father is unknown but supposedly important in Brevoy. I do not know if my bloodline is a problem, but I prefer not to be on the wrong side of any petty Brevan squabble." He looks perplexed and scrunches his brow in thought: "Nyrissa and Sevenarches are unknown to me. I have studied maps, but perhaps not enough." Warren seems to be lost in the gaze of his owl, who gives Warren an unblinking stare and Warren nods back in understanding. "Ahto thinks highly of you, and so I will equally put my trust in you woods-walker. This is my wise owl Hoot, who seems to be a smug one because he can mindlink with animals. I would like to ask for permission for my flock to join your great settlement." He looks at the keys being displayed. "I do not have need of locking many things up, but I hope those keys open something important. Like maybe minds or hearts? But enough about me, what is this enclave in these wild lands about?? And Hoot thinks whatever status I deserve, he should be one or two levels higher."
”Warren Kingeagle: I hereby request political asylum. Are sentient magical beings recognized as full citizens??” He gestures to a large owl.
A giant owl, giant eagle, and two smaller eagles circled and banked in a slow spiral over Horace. As they landed in the center of town, the giant eagle transformed into a fit man. He approached the castle with a smile.
Warren will fly in with his owl and eagle Buddy — flying south from Brevoy
Mountains and prairies
I think the song mentions Warren!!
