The Bard, the Oddities, and Chaos

[pyrothos]

ok, once you guys get your sheets done, post them here so we can get started.

[abyss54321]

wait how do you know i'm making bard?

[pyrothos]

you're playing a bard?

[Clockworkmaster]

I will be dressed in my Cold weather gear (a pale blue outfit) with the fury bit around the neck. I will also have my dark grey hair brushed and styled back for the start of this campaign.
100% not evil.

[pyrothos]

chris, your hands are bound behind your back and you are sitting in teh back of a covered wagon. it's dark inside, though you can see light streaming in through a few tears and holes in the canvas, across from you are two forms, one slumped over and bound similarly to you, the other is tied up, gagged and blindfolded with a cloth that bears small markings akin to eyes made of flame. The wagon smells like dirt, rotten fruit, mildew and a slight hint of wet dog. the blindfolded man has his head turned directly towards you.

[Clockworkmaster]

Str check to break the rope.
[roll0]

[pyrothos]

you fail the check, you hear someone untying teh ties for the flaps at the end of teh wagon. after brief blindness due to your eyes adjusting to teh light you see a heavily scarred face regarding you with utter contempt before he pokes you with the butt end of a spear.
" keep it down in der ya mongrels."
he then turns his attention to the blindfolded guy.
" how are da accommodations mister Fire-Eyes?"
he laughs to himself and goes to shut the flaps.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will flop over onto the ground behind the man.
Surprise attack!
I will attempt to bite him.
[roll0]
[roll1] damage if i hit

[pyrothos]

hit.
" ow, ya damned..."
he then goes on to release a stream of curses that would make even the rudest dwarf want to smack him silly before he kicks at you and misses.
a man in some wickedly barbed armor comes in, carefully picks you up avoiding poking you with the barbs and gags you.
the bitten man: " try biting now."
they proceed to exit the wagon and tie the flaps leaving you and the other two in the darkness of the wagon.
give me a dc15 perception check

[Clockworkmaster]

"You see, I dislike these ropes, and by nature I am a biter."
[roll0] Perception

[pyrothos]

you notice that Fire-Eyes's gag came loose and he's now silently mouthing something to himself.
give me a dc 10 sense motive check please.

[Clockworkmaster]

I auto-pass
[roll0]

[pyrothos]

he looks to be trying to get you a message. unfortunately you can't understand him.

[pyrothos]

Fire-Eyes turns his head to face next to you.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will wait until night time to do anything...

[pyrothos]

hours pass by until dark comes, when it does, you, Fire-Eyes, and the other guy are all tied to a tree with some very finely crafted thick rope (2 inch masterwork) and Fire-Eyes's gag is replaced.

[Clockworkmaster]

If no one is looking I will "Wild Shape" Into a wolf and Squirm free (because of my reduced size the rope is loose.

After that I will return to "Normal" and untie everyone else.

[pyrothos]

Fire-Eyes smiles and whispers "thank you, he who smells of the wilds" then lifts his blindfold to reveal his glowing orange eyes.

[pyrothos]

the other guy is still knocked out.
you see a cart laden with gear, some of which is much finer than the others, including your weapons and gear, Fire-Eyes is heading towards that.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will follow him...
I need my gear back.

[pyrothos]

you find your gear all in a neat bundle. Fire-Eyes picks up a scimitar and a dagger that bear etchings that begin glowing orange at his touch. he also grabs a pack that you can hear gear clattering around inside.
he indicates the slumped guy.
" this belongs to him."

[Clockworkmaster]

I will put on my armor and other gear.
And I will make sure my Signet Ring is with my stuff (It is my holy Symbol)

[Clockworkmaster]

If everything is accounted for, and I am in my armor...
"I will carry the other guy, if you carry the gear."
I will gaze up at the sky...
"It is a lovely night, Is it not?"

[pyrothos]

" I'll carry the gear. though it is a lovely night, i suggest you don't do anything rash to ruin it." Fire-Eyes picks up the gear and begins moving as quietly as he can towards a small wagon at the edge of the encampment.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will follow him to the small wagon.
Ignore my last post because I miss read what he was doing.

[pyrothos]

the entire time you run, you get the sense that you just got away from someone very dangerous.

[Clockworkmaster]

Ok, then I will flee.

[pyrothos]

after a while you find yourself in a dark clearing in the woods. scattered around the clearing is an assortment of scraps of bone, wood, and cloth. at the center is a shallow pool with a stone in the center.
upon this stone rests a statue in the shape of a running wolf.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will see if it has my holy symbol on, then press my march onward until I find a road...

[Clockworkmaster]

My con check for a forced mach...
[roll0]
Afterwards I will make camp in a somewhat hidden spot...

[pyrothos]

no holy symbol, nothing happens so you continue onward, your damage is [roll0]

[pyrothos]

you find a copse of trees that is hard to see into and hard to get into.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will set up my camp behind it, out of sight of the road.
then rest until about midday

[pyrothos]

as you are settling down to sleep for the night, you hear someone loudly walking by the outside of the copse singing rather badly in a language you don't understand.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will ignore it until it goes away...
as a note, I did not light a fire, just set up a tent.

[pyrothos]

the singing continues on it's way, heading towards the road.

[Clockworkmaster]

If that is over, then I will rest for the remainder of my 8 hours, so I can remove the non-lethal damage and keep moving.

[pyrothos]

within an hour of setting out you find a crossroads, on way has a sign reading " Farhaven", another has a sign so rotted and broken that you can only make out "Dan r s ay wa ", another has an immaculately upkept sign that says " Temple of gardens" and the other just says " Tree" in the middle of the crossroads are countless footprints leading to all but the broken sign's direction

[Clockworkmaster]

I will be dressed in my Light brown Traveler's outfit with a straw hat.
I will say to myself. "Well Tomorbataar you old dog. you know what they say about the road less traveled..."
I will start down the path with the old sign.

[pyrothos]

and here we'll jump to kenny for a bit.
as you look over the scryer's shoulder you see a man in a straw hat walking down the road towards Darknim manor.
Scryer: " That fool, he'll not make it back if he goes to the manor."

[godzillamegafan]

I'll ask "Why're we spying on this random guy?"

[pyrothos]

" we were watching the road for signs of anything coming from the manor, now Shush! i need to concentrate."

[godzillamegafan]

okay based off the fact that I've apparently got a job petaining to violence. eidolon is active.

"Meh guess I'll go grab the guy heading to manor, but first remind me, what's in it?"

[pyrothos]

"noone remembers, all we know is people go in, noone comes out."

[godzillamegafan]

"Wouldn't that mean nobody simply knows?"

I say ask i walk off to go catch up to the guy in the straw hat.

[pyrothos]

you walk quickly through teh temple of gardens, a place with possibly one of the biggest misnomers you've ever seen being as there isn't anything remotely close to plantlife within 100 yards of the place, and out the front where a wizard summons a spectral mount for you to use to get there.

[godzillamegafan]

Is it an elegant looking white horse?

[pyrothos]

nope, just ghostlike.

[godzillamegafan]

"This foul beast is repugnant, and I have no desire to ride such a filthy animal. I shall walk, rather than ride this thing." I'll take off walking towards chris's location.

[pyrothos]

about halfway there it starts raining, leaving you with no damage but still thoroughly miserable and soaked.

[godzillamegafan]

"Ah, rain. A truly delightful occurrence, for it is with this that my appearance when I reach that person I'm supposed to be saving, it will look all the more majestic and dramatic.

[pyrothos]

as you draw closer to your destination, the rain picks up in intensity, soaking you through, as well as your possessions.

[godzillamegafan]

I keep moving forward because the rain can't get to me since I'm in my eidolon. as for the gear though that's another story So i may have a wet sleeping bag.

[godzillamegafan]

But then again I might not have even taken my stuff with me, after all I do have a place to go back to.

[Clockworkmaster]

Did I find anything interesting yet?

[pyrothos]

the rain clears as you round a bend to find chris walking towards a very dark and ruinous mansion. spread across the front wall is so much ivy that you can barely see the windows, the front door hangs open, the darkness beyond looking like a part of the void itself. dancing alone amongst the collums on the front porch is a man singing a discordant melody way out of key.
as a note, chris and kenny are now both the subject of what follows until i specify again.

[Clockworkmaster]

I demand a will save vs plot based mind-effects!
[roll0]

[godzillamegafan]

I'll Pridefully, Prominently and Powerfully say to chris so that he hears me.

"Ore Yuu ga Sanjou!"

While at the same time elegantly moving my hand to grasp my chin.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will be the good pc and boogie my way to the guy.
"where am I? It seems I have lost my way..."

[Clockworkmaster]

"What in the name of my Goddess Shar is that thing!" I will yell as I point at kenny.

[pyrothos]

he stops singing and cheerfully says :
" why you are at wonderful Darknim Manor, come, embrace the madness, join in the melody of chaos and insanity!"
he then proceeds to resume his singing and dancing

[godzillamegafan]

"I absolutely will not join you in your unrefined and off key singing, commoner. And you traveler, know this. Nobody who has entered that building has ever left it. Why nobody has left it I do not know but either way you have been warned."

[pyrothos]

gimme a will save, both of you.

[Clockworkmaster]

i will start to dance...
[roll0]
"this is stupid, No chaos will come from this... Well not the fun kind."
"I wanna know what is in the house, or if I should just leave..."

[Clockworkmaster]

Me dancing with that nat 1.

[roll0] Will save

[godzillamegafan]

[roll0]

my save.

[pyrothos]

kenny, you feel yourself start dancing, give me a second will save

[godzillamegafan]

[roll0]

random words to fill the character perquisites.

[pyrothos]

with some force of will you stop yourself from dancing

[godzillamegafan]

From behind my Eidolon's head I give him a stern look.

"How dare you, try to make one such as I dance to such unpleasant music."

[pyrothos]

he laughs.
" twas not I that made you dance, but the chaos and insanity you harbor within."
he continues his song and dance
perception checks please.

[Clockworkmaster]

"Fine if you won't answer me, I will find out for myself." I will take off my hat and put on my helmet, then draw my shield and Flail. In the center of my Heavy Steel shield is a Purple Ring filled with darkness.
"guy... girl... or thing... are you coming with me or staying here?'

[godzillamegafan]

[roll0]

"I bear no association with such unsightly things as chaos and insanity.

[pyrothos]

the man laughs a high pitched laugh full of insanity as he dances out of sight.

[Clockworkmaster]

[roll0] perception
"I, Tomorbataar Pack leader of my home's hunters, Will satiate my curiosity!"

[pyrothos]

chris, you notice movement inside the doorway to the manor.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will go in with shield up and flail flailin.
I have Low-Light vision.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll follow as well, him forcing me to dance to bad music is unforgivable.

[pyrothos]

you see a dark shape at the top of a once-grand staircase

[pyrothos]

dancing man went around the corner of the house, not inside.

[godzillamegafan]

meh i botched a perception, i think he went in.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will cast Light on my shield.
and press forth in the name of plot, adventure, exp, and loot!

[pyrothos]

so, dark shape at the top of the stairs, what do you guys do?

[pyrothos]

you make it to the top of the stairs to find the shape to be....
a skeletal corpse in a black cloak hanging from the roof

[godzillamegafan]

i'll cast light on the stairs.

[Clockworkmaster]

LIGHT OFF!
I will cast light on my pants, Shirt, and flail.
then Investigate the corpse.
"Is it dead?"

[pyrothos]

it is quite dead, as you watch, several teeth crumble to dust and dust slowly trickles out of the cloak. you can see several similar shapes downstairs and across the second floor

[Clockworkmaster]

I am taking it's outfit.
"Now, I haven't been an adventurer for long, but... IT'S TIME TO LOOT, PILLAGE, AND BURN!"
I will crush the skeleton below my Iron boot.

[pyrothos]

chris, you now have a ragged black cloak and commoners clothes.

[godzillamegafan]

"Not quite rookie, you clearly need to refine your adventuring style. First we pillage, then we loot, and then we burn this house to the ground. We pillage first because it's stealing if they're still alive when we take their stuff. Now bask in the elegance that is my format for adventuring."

I'll raise both my arm's into the air majestically.

[Clockworkmaster]

"We ain't got time for that, It is almost nighttime and that is when I do my prayers to my goddess of the night."
I will head downstairs and Light a torch along the way.
"You going to stay up there while I lay Claim to the treasures and Light this place up?"

[godzillamegafan]

"Of course not, I still need to find that mongrel who made me dance to that music."

I'll follow him downstairs.

[abyss54321]

"why do I feel that I missed something really annoying"
I wake up and make sure my spell is still up

[pyrothos]

now we jump to jon for a bit.
Jon, you wake up with a throbbing headache sitting an open wagon traveling along a road.
to your right is a pack containing your gear, to your left sits a man with a headband and glowing orange eyes, attached to the side of his belt that you can see is a heavily engraved dagger.
he turns to you.
" good morning, how's your head?"

[Clockworkmaster]

we will loot the place of anything the looks like it is worth something.
"Don't forget to grab the paintings, they are worth cash."

[abyss54321]

"it's been better" I will check my equipment "where are we, or more importantly where are we heading?"

[pyrothos]

" heading towards farhaven, I convinced the farmer up front to give us a ride, from there i plan to head to Arvel's temple district, you are welcome to accompany me if you wish. Oh, where are my manners, my name is Fire-Eyes (* he extends his hand in an invitation to shake it*)."

[abyss54321]

"oh that's fine. I was planning to head to town doesn't matter much which one."
shakes hand
what knowledge is it to know more about far haven?

[pyrothos]

i'll say local if you want customs and stuff, and geography if you want where they are located.

[abyss54321]

ok both it is then
[roll0]
[roll1]

[pyrothos]

Local skillcheck: Farhaven is a walled settlement built to protect the farmers and traders of the area with a safe and secure place to buy and sell supplies and as a place to decide upon important decisions.
Geographic skillcheck: Farhaven is located in the north of the country of Elden between a pair of small rivers, weather is very unpredictable.

[abyss54321]

ok knowledge religion to find out the main religion of farhaven
[roll0]

[pyrothos]

local continued...
ruled over by a council of 10 elder members of esteem
too many rumors to even begin listing them, ranging from death of someone who is clearly still alive to the assassination of a ruler in a city that never existed
religion check: with such a loose-knit society there are quite a few different deities that are worshipped in the area.

[abyss54321]

ok
"well this may actually be quite lucky" I say to Fire-Eyes
"I seem to be completely bereft of supplies"
*chukle* "although that may be due to poor planning on my part"

[pyrothos]

" haha, you certainly have more than I ( he looks down at his clothes, dagger, and scimitar that you can now see on his other side)."

[abyss54321]

"ah yes my bundle of rope, and this star chart."
looks confused for a second
"honestly I have no idea why I have this"

[pyrothos]

Fire-Eyes bursts out laughing
after a couple minutes he regains his composure
" Sorry, I can be rather easily entertained."

[abyss54321]

"don't sell yourself short. that is what I do for a living"

[pyrothos]

Fire-Eyes chuckles to himself then moves up to the front of the wagon and speaks with the farmer for a couple minutes before returning.
" he says we'll be in Farhaven by mid-afternoon."

[pyrothos]

the day passes rather uneventfully for you jon and as you roll into Farhaven you see shadows moving amongst the grasses and woods that surround it just as the gates rattle closed and are barred.
Fire-Eyes thanks the farmer and starts off towards a shabby, though still comfortable inn just off the main street.

[abyss54321]

ok i'm going to look around town and get familiar with the place
keeping a lookout for shops in particular

[pyrothos]

there are dozens of stalls selling foods and basic supplies. a ways from the front gate you find a group of shops, one magic shop, a supply shop, and a blacksmith's forge.

[pyrothos]

ok, since Jon appears to be MIA we'll hop back over to what Chris and Kenny are up to.

[Clockworkmaster]

then I will leave the house, due to a change of heart.

[godzillamegafan]

Remembering that the guy who made me dance is upstairs and out back I'll follow and then have a change of heart as well and just leave with chris.

[pyrothos]

three steps from the door you hear an ominous laugh as the doors swing shut impossibly fast with a loud "boom".
the candles on the chandelier above the staircase light up.
bars slide across the windows.

[Clockworkmaster]

Then I shall return to the roof.

[pyrothos]

you find that the only way up past the second floor is blocked due to the passage having caved in.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll spam acid splash until the rubble dissolves enough to just move it out of the way.

[pyrothos]

as you start to move it the ceiling caves in more.
you hear the voice who laughed earlier echoing through the house
" I don't understand why people come here if not to die."
another laugh after that line.

[godzillamegafan]

more acid splash, he's gonna run outta roof before I run out of acid.

[pyrothos]

the voice: " go, take your vengeance my pets."
with that a cacophonous chorus of shouting voices resound around you.
give me a reflex save, both of you please.

[Clockworkmaster]

[roll0] my reflex.

[godzillamegafan]

reflex save

[roll0]

[pyrothos]

the floor collapses amongst chattering giggles and you guys manage to catch onto a beam below the floor, there's no space for you to climb back up next to the rubble, you can see the floor not too far below you and the shouts are echoing everywhere with the voice laughing in the background.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll let go and land on the floor majestically.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will follow, but less majestically...

[pyrothos]

kenny, as you land a cloud of dust rises up from the floor, telling you that it hasn't been cleaned in a long time, the shouting has gotten almost to the point of drowning out the laughter.

[pyrothos]

there are two doors in this room. Scattered around the room lies furniture of all sorts in many different states of disrepair. a grandfather clock in the corner looks as though it's been torn apart and put together wrong.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll start heading towards the door on the left.

[Clockworkmaster]

assume I am following kenny.

[pyrothos]

as soon as the door opens you are both hit by a horrible stench.
the door leads into what appears to have once been a kitchen, in the corner is a pile of rotting waste, standing out in the pile is a wolf that looks like it's head was half gnawed off.
a pair of double doors leads to what you'd assume is the dining room.

[godzillamegafan]

I keep walking.

[pyrothos]

as you step into a surprisingly immaculate and clean dining room the shouting stops.
seated at the head of the table is a dark shape with it's back to you.
you guys hear the sound of wood sliding across wood as a bar is slid into place on the other side of the door.
the figure: " welcome to my sanctuary amidst the filth of this forsaken place."
it chuckles ( yes, this is the source of the voice from before)

[godzillamegafan]

"Cousin Timothy is that you? Why're you living in a filthy place like this with such an unrefined singer in your front yard? You should really consider having his fingers cut off and mouth sown shut to keep him from singing and playing that terrible instrument in the future."

[Clockworkmaster]

"Are you a Calzone Golem?" I will inquire.

[pyrothos]

the figure slowly stands as his chair slides back, affording you a view of the shadowy ghost-like form of the speaker.
" The living never did make sense to me... Come in my pets, show these fools why noone has left here before..."
with that he floats up through the ceiling

[godzillamegafan]

"What a shame and here I was hoping that I had finally found my long lost noble cousin Timothy."

I'll stand at the ready for something walk in.

[pyrothos]

the shouting starts up again as a few dozen tiny forms flood in through the door opposite you guys.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll knowledge nobility them.

[roll0]

[pyrothos]

you learn nothing of them from the check.
among the forms flooding in you see 5 baboons, 8 insectoid creatures sporting two pairs of bat wings, a tangle of thin legs, and a needle-sharp proboscis, and about 13 creatures that looks as if the world’s most revolting lapdog had somehow learned to walk on its back legs, these sickly creatures slink forward carefully.

[Clockworkmaster]

My init [roll0]
"Come let us show these animals a real pack attack!"

[godzillamegafan]

"I agree filthy vermin such as these are better off put down."

[roll0] initiative

[pyrothos]

baboon init: [roll0]
winged creature init: [roll1]
other creature init: [roll2]

[pyrothos]

ok, before i do anything for the enemies, the distance between you guys and the hoard is about 45 ft.
the winged creatures fly 40 feet towards you guys.
the baboons move 30 feet up.
kenny's turn

[godzillamegafan]

I'll 5ft forward to the winged creatures and full round one.

the little doglike creatures move up 30 feet.
any time you have to roll a d20, roll 2 and the lower result is what you get for that d20 roll.

[Clockworkmaster]

I will move behind kenny then cast Bane, they need to make a Dc 16 will save or get -1 to attack rolls and saving throws vs fear. It is a 50ft burst centered on me.

[pyrothos]

one stirge is squished by your attack, you slap yourself ( no damage from it of course), and you miss the baboon.

[pyrothos]

the gremlins delay their srd action and end.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll charge it

damage
[roll2]
[roll3]

[pyrothos]

hit. as the creature falls you hear the rasping of a bar being removed from a door. a hooded figure leaf armor colored black with red lines strides in, a scimitar strapped to his hip. his face is covered by a dark silky looking cloth and a pair of silver framed glasses with black lenses.
???: " quickly, follow me."
his voice has an accent you can't place.
he turns and walks back the way he came ( into the kitchen)

[godzillamegafan]

I shall ignore him and find a towel to wipe all of the blood off me.

"Priorities first."

[pyrothos]

he patiently waits in the doorway until you guys get finished with cleaning up or looting

[godzillamegafan]

ah yes, how big is the doorway?

[pyrothos]

among the gremlins you find:
3 different potions
13 daggers and shortbows
260 Arrows
and 375 gp

[godzillamegafan]

I'll walk over to chris.

"and now that that's been dealt with."

"You don't watch me do that kind of fighting, it's much to unelegant to be seen in public."

[pyrothos]

big enough for you and chris to walk side by side

[godzillamegafan]

init
[roll0]

[pyrothos]

the other guy reaches for his scimitar.
" that escalated quickly."

[Clockworkmaster]

"So this is how it will be, It is not to be expected by a stranger I just met."
[roll0] init

[pyrothos]

[pyrothos]

the npc casts a spell and disappears.
kenny may go.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll activate arcane strike as a swift action and then full round chris

[godzillamegafan]

rolling to confirm the crit

[roll0]

damage(if i have to reroll, if left up to me double it)
[roll1]

[pyrothos]

chris falls over in an elegant and dramatic fashion.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll increase the drama by catching him mid fall with one arm and then finish him with a coup de grace.

[pyrothos]

???: "that was uncalled for..."

[godzillamegafan]

"It most certainly was called for, he saw me in a most unrefined state and had I not slain him he might have told somebody about it. Plus the fool clearly didn't know what he was doing, none the less I shall shed a few tears for in death that cretin finally learned the imporance of elegance which is why I spared him the pain of slowly bleeding to death in favor of a more humane instant death by piercing his heart. Speaking of which never mention what you just saw, for none may see me fight in anything but the most refined style and I would hate to kill you as well since you clearly possess the elegance that, that cretin lacked."

that being said I shall loot chris's body and then the room and then I'll carry chris's dead body with me as I follow the now invisible man when he turns visible again. but out of respect for chris's elegant fall I shall leave him with his holy symbol his clothes not so much since we start off with outfits worth about 10gp.

[pyrothos]

He leads you to the front door where he proceeds to cast a spell on the front door, which swings open without any fuss.

[godzillamegafan]

when we get out I'll walk 95 ft and then burry chris just out of range of the scrying spell.

[pyrothos]

it takes hours to dig a sizeable hole without a proper shovel

[pyrothos]

when you finish burying chris, you see the other guy cleaning his scimitar (which bears runes that say "Swishslasher") his glasses are on the ground next to him, his hood and his face covering are pulled down, revealing a silvery-white haired drow with dark blood red eyes and an ear that looks like someone took a dagger and cut it halfway along it's length.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll check his waist for a belt buckle.

[pyrothos]

no elaborate belt buckle, though a dark leather pouch sits opposite where the scimitar rests when sheathed.

[godzillamegafan]

"Hey what's in your pouch?"

[pyrothos]

???: " spellbooks and spell components..."

[godzillamegafan]

"No weird medallions?"

[pyrothos]

he looks at you rather quizzicly.
???: "no..."

[godzillamegafan]

"Okay, so why were you in that mansion?"

[pyrothos]

???: " hunting The Voice, what about you and your, er, friend?"

[godzillamegafan]

"He wasn't my friend, he was just some random stranger who walked into the house, my job was to do a thing which I did... Probably."

[pyrothos]

he goes back to cleaning Swishslasher.
" name's Riz..."

[godzillamegafan]

"I am Seig Maorga."

I'll start walking back to the base.

[pyrothos]

Riz gets up and follows you, pulling on his hood and face covering.
" i gotta talk with your superiors..."

[godzillamegafan]

"About what?"

[pyrothos]

" For the first time in well over a century, The Voice of Chaos is on the move, I have a feeling that it will seek out The Hand of Oddities so it can become whole once more."
he pushes on his sunglasses

[godzillamegafan]

I'll keep walking.

[pyrothos]

after a while, Riz starts whistling to himself at such a volume that most people would worry about being attacked.

[godzillamegafan]

As long as it's in tune I pay it no mind and keep my eyes open for signs of chris's camp.

[pyrothos]

a short while before the crossroads, you hear a familiar song, and it isn't Riz's whistling.

[godzillamegafan]

I cast rejuvinate eidolon

[roll0]

[pyrothos]

a man in peasant clothes dances up to Riz from out of nowhere, a look of pure terror in his eyes, contradicting his facial expression of joy.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll hold back the urge to charge him for this particular moment though i will activate arcane strike.

[pyrothos]

it isn't the same person.

[godzillamegafan]

"Who are you and why are you playing the same out of tune song as the person who at the house? Also if I feel like your trying to force me to dance I won't wait for the answer."

keeping arcane strike up.

[pyrothos]

Riz: " the song isn't coming from him."
Riz draws back his fist and punches the guy in the face.
the peasant falls to the ground but stops dancing, his face now showing his relief.

[godzillamegafan]

"Then where is it coming from?"

[pyrothos]

he points ahead.
" That way..."
he draws Swishslasher and continues walking, leaving the peasant where he was getting up.

[godzillamegafan]

I'll follow his lead and punch the peasant and then walk in the same direction.

[pyrothos]

at the crossroads, the singer is carrying on with his song

[godzillamegafan]

If this is the same one as before I'll hold back my urge to charge him but leave arcane strike at the ready.
