Exploring the New Dimension [IC ]

[JNAProductions]

You have come to the portal in the sky. Looking through, you see a vast expanse of blue ocean. Your parents stand behind you, ready to wish you on your way.

[Illven]

Goodbye Mom, goodbye dad. Sue replied giving her two parents a hug.

I'll make you proud, okay? She said sternly, looking at her comrades for support.

[JNAProductions]

Goodbye Mom, goodbye dad. Sue replied giving her two parents a hug.

I'll make you proud, okay? She said sternly, looking at her comrades for support.

"We love you too," Sue's father says.

Her mother nods, saying "Stay safe-and remember the scroll of sending we gave you. Use it if you truly need us."

[Ninja_Prawn]

I muss Sue's hair and tell her parents: "don't you worry; I'll look after her."

Looking around at my comrades' parents all gathered together, I can't help but miss mine. I don't think on them so often now, but they were good people. I wonder what they'd think of me now...

[Illven]

"We love you too," Sue's father says.

Her mother nods, saying "Stay safe-and remember the scroll of sending we gave you. Use it if you truly need us."

I will, I'll save it for when it's important. Sue promised.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth stands stoically, his father's hand on his shoulder while his mother gives him a hug. When she releases him, he turns and gazes at the portal, fingering the hilt of his longsword.

"Let's get on with it." he says, with a determined look hardening the angles of his face.

[JNAProductions]

One of the family's servants reads off from a scroll of Feather Fall-enchanting the trio so that they won't die upon stepping through-and with that, the three step through, falling gently but swiftly through to the ocean below.

[Illven]

I muss Sue's hair and tell her parents: "don't you worry; I'll look after her."

Looking around at my comrades' parents all gathered together, I can't help but miss mine. I don't think on them so often now, but they were good people. I wonder what they'd think of me now...

Sue cuddles up to the mussing.

Stop it! You're embarrassing me. She clearly teases.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Never!" I stop... For now.

~~~

When we get lowered into the ocean, I take a good look around. Is there anything but ocean around us? Any signs of life?

Perception, if required: [roll0]

[JNAProductions]

When we get lowered into the ocean, I take a good look around. Is there anything but ocean around us? Any signs of life?

Perception, if required: [roll0]

Off in the distance, there's an island. It's surrounded by a faint shimmer.

[Illven]

As Sue was pushed through she realized.

We all forgot a boat. Or a raft. Or anything.

Joining Rebirth, I try looking around.


Perception [roll0]

[JNAProductions]

Boy, that's a lot of water.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"I don't know about you guys, but I fancy we should swim towards that island. Going to be hard to set up camp in the water."

[Armored Walrus]

Heading: Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth wordlessly starts swimming in the direction Rebirth indicated.

[Illven]

"I don't know about you guys, but I fancy we should swim towards that island. Going to be hard to set up camp in the water."

Realizing she was spending most of her time staring at Rebirth, Sue breaks away blushing.

Huh, sorry, what. What island? She eventually settles on.

[JNAProductions]

The group swims off towards the island. It takes about an hour (little longer, since you take a break or two to just tread and rest), but soon enough you're on the island. From where you are, there appears to be no inhabitants.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"This island, I guess. Is it inhabited, d'ya think?" I pace about in the sand a bit, kicking up little clouds of it - and shake my hair out, taking advantage of my magical charm. "Seems benign enough. But I'm thirsty from all that salt water... anyone want to help me find something to drink?"

I look towards the treeline. If there's fresh water here, it'd most likely be inland, right?

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Strange," Garth muses, "Did the island appear to be shimmering to the two of you as we swam up? It doesn't seem to be now."

He reaches into his Bag of Holding absent-mindedly and hands Rebirth a full waterskin, while peering around the island.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Oh yeah, I saw that. I didn't notice it had gone... That's got to be magical, right? Do you feel anything?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Well let me see."

Garth opens up his senses to his surroundings, silently calling on Torm to alert him to any divine influence in the area.

I use my Divine Sense to detect any celestials/fiends/consecrated or desecrated objects.

[JNAProductions]

Nothing.

Everyone, if you're actively looking, make a Perception check. If you're not, list your passive Perception.

[roll0]

[Ninja_Prawn]

Passive Perception: 10
I watch Garth with curiosity. "Well? You get anything?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Nothing. Well, at least nothing inherently good or evil. I do not currently have a way to check for arcane influences."

[roll0]

[Illven]

Sue starts trying to look for sources of water.


Perception [roll0]

[JNAProductions]

As Sue looks, she draws nearer to the forest. Once she's within about 50', she hears a slight swishing noise through the air, which turns out to a strongly hurled rock. She's able to dodge, though, and it looks like the ape that hurled it overbalanced himself, dropping down to the ground in front of the trees, no longer in hiding.

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Sue! Get back here!" Garth calls out, while drawing his longsword and stepping in front of Rebirth.

[Illven]

Woah! No need for that! We're peaceful! We're peaceful! Sue protests.

Is this your home?


Is that init?

[JNAProductions]

Yis, it is. [roll0]

[Armored Walrus]

Initiative [roll0]

[Illven]

Init time


Init [roll0]

[Ninja_Prawn]

Gah, sorry, I was doing my hair...

Initiative: [roll0]

[JNAProductions]

Roll-off between Illven and the Ape

Ape [roll0]

Illven [roll1]

Apre goes before Sue.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I see the ape threatening Sue, which is something I won't stand for! I make my somatic components, shout "adaestuo," and hurl a bolt of force at the beast.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: 6 force

[JNAProductions]

Garth, you're up.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth rushes forward, placing himself between Sue and the ape, hoping to deflect any further rocks thrown at her. Once in position he brandishes his sword and beckons the ape forward.

Movement as stated, and if that doesn't use Dash, then I'll use my action to Dodge. I'm hoping to give Sue cover while you two work on it with ranged attacks.

The ape charges forward, reaches Garth and pummeling out against him, but not hitting him at all.

[Illven]

Sue will step back.

Hey monkey maybe if you stopped flinging your poo, you'd actually amount to something. Sue jeered bopping all over the place.


Move 10 feet back.
And cast Vicious mockery Wis save DC 15
[roll0]

[JNAProductions]

[roll0]

In the future, roll a d20 and I'll the mods as needed.

126/130

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Bah, this is no fun at all..." I mutter, fumbling for my focus crystal and shifting to get a clearer shot at the ape. "Adaestuo!" I shout again, taking another shot and hoping I hit this time.

Eldritch Blast: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1] force

[JNAProductions]

"Bah, this is no fun at all..." I mutter, fumbling for my focus crystal and shifting to get a clearer shot at the ape. "Adaestuo!" I shout again, taking another shot and hoping I hit this time.

Eldritch Blast: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1] force

The ape reels with the blast of force, but keeps the fight going.

115/130 HP.

He ain't dead yet.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth screams wordlessly in the ape's face, trying to keep its attention, and circles it, trying to put its back to the women. With a snarl, he swings his sword.

Attack: [roll0]

Damage: [roll1]

[roll5]

The ape turns to face Garth, striking out again, causing a few minor injuries.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Seeing the wounds that the beast has given Garth, I say to Sue: "by the never-setting stars, that thing is strong. We'd best keep our distance... and do you happen to know any healing?"

[Illven]

Seeing the wounds that the beast has given Garth, I say to Sue: "by the never-setting stars, that thing is strong. We'd best keep our distance... and do you happen to know any healing?"

Aye, I am. Perhaps I should try that. Sue mentions.

[Is it my turn?

[Illven]

Sue will cast healing word out of a second level spell slot


[roll0]


And then cutting words


[roll1]
Wis save DC 15

[JNAProductions]

I told you to roll a d20 with Vicious Mockery.

[roll0]

[Ninja_Prawn]

I stalk a bit closer to the ape, keeping it between myself and Garth but getting closer to the treeline at the same time. I then draw more deeply on my pact magic to attack with a more powerful spell... "Ultro ji ternesh!"

Casting Shatter such that only the ape is hit.

Damage: [roll0] thunder damage, DC 15 Constitution save for half.
Save: [roll1]

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth takes another swing at the ape with his longsword.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Smite (if a hit): [roll2]

[JNAProductions]

The ape, after receiving such a devastating blow, turns tail and flees, not willing to go after prey putting up that much of a fight.

Action: Disengage.

Then run like hell!

[Ninja_Prawn]

I breathe a sigh of relief. "Garth! Are you alright?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"With Torm's aid, I will be ok. Was anyone else injured?"


If we are short resting, I'll spend some HD to heal up. If not, I'll use up my Lay On Hands.

[JNAProductions]

Feel free to take a short rest. I won't promise it won't be interrupted, but then again, I'll never promise that. :P

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth glances around at the beach.

"Perhaps we should pause and set up camp before we explore further? Do either of you have any method of making our location slightly more.. defensible?"

If we are uninterrupted, here are the HD rolls.

HD1 [roll0]
HD2 [roll1]

[Ninja_Prawn]

"I dont know if it's a good idea to rest here on the beach - if that monster is any indication of the typical fauna of this island, we're going to need to find somewhere less exposed. Anyway, I thought fortifications were your thing, human? I know more about animals and plants than bricks and mortar."

[Illven]

I can sing to make you heal more. Sue replies with a winning smile and a thumbs up.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Ok, no camp then. But let me catch my breath a moment, Rebirth, and then we can continue to explore."

Garth eases himself down onto the sand, soothed by the sounds of Sue's melody.

Song of Rest is an extra d6?

Extra healing: [roll0]

[Illven]

[Yup an extra d6]

[Ninja_Prawn]

While Sue and Garth catch their breath, I pace up and down a section of the treeline near to our current position. I peer into the island, looking for danger and seeing how many of the plants I recognise.

Wisdom (perception): [roll0]
Intelligence (nature): [roll1]

[JNAProductions]

Something's moving within the jungle-about 100' away, and it seems to be man-sized.

None of the plants seem familiar.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Once they're done, I say: "so, guys, there's something moving in the jungle, not far away. It looks man-sized."

[Illven]

Should we go after it? Sue questions cocking her head.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"I'd like to at least know what it is... I could turn one of us invisible so we could sneak up on it." I offer.

[Illven]

"I'd like to at least know what it is... I could turn one of us invisible so we could sneak up on it." I offer.

Which one of us is best at stealth? Sue asks

[Ninja_Prawn]

Probably not the paladin, in all that armour... and I ought not put Sue into potentially dangerous situations when I could go instead. "...I'll do it," I say. "But you two should stay close in case I need any help."

Whispering the words ("riif... haupetor, ma,"), I cast Invisibility on myself and try to find wherever it was that I last saw movement, going as quietly as possible.

Stealth check: [roll0]

[JNAProductions]

I know you're there, the creature says, its voice a deep, resonant bass.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Well that went well. At least it speaks though. Perhaps we can use that to our advantage... "Aye, and I know you're there, so that makes us even. What is your name, stranger?"

I stay invisible, just in case.

[JNAProductions]

The man comes towards Rebirth, saying Grougaloragran. Your name, and purpose on my island?

[Ninja_Prawn]

"I am Rebirth Velathor, and I was sent here with two others to explore this place after a portal to it opened over our home. For the moment, though, we'd settle for water and shelter. Can you help us?"

Does he seem trustworthy? Wisdom (insight): [roll0]. If he seems on the level, I will drop the Invisibility and motion for the others to approach.

[JNAProductions]

He seems trustworthy enough.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I may be a poor judge of character, but I figure this guy is not too much of a threat either way. We have plenty of tools between the three of us to suppress hostile humanoids - if indeed that's what Grougaloragran is. I release my concentration and wave the others over.

[Illven]

Greetings, what may I call you? Sue replied walking over.

[JNAProductions]

I am Grougaloragran. You may call me whatever you wish, he responds.

[Illven]

I am Grougaloragran. You may call me whatever you wish, he responds.

Groug, sound good? Sue asked to make sure.

I am Sue.

[JNAProductions]

Groug, sound good? Sue asked to make sure.

I am Sue.

If that pleases you. Now, answer the other question.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"I spoke it true, Groug. We are explorers. Do you mean to bar us from your island?"

[JNAProductions]

"I spoke it true, Groug. We are explorers. Do you mean to bar us from your island?"

The long and the short of it is yes. I can provide transportation away, but you cannot remain here.

[Illven]

Sue simply points to Rebirth.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"We appreciate your offer, Grougal... ah. grn. As we are here to learn what we can about your world, can you advise us in regards as to where we might go from here? Are their centers of learning or repositories of knowledge in this world that you can direct us to?"

[JNAProductions]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"We appreciate your offer, Grougal... ah. grn. As we are here to learn what we can about your world, can you advise us in regards as to where we might go from here? Are their centers of learning or repositories of knowledge in this world that you can direct us to?"

Bonta. It's a pillar of civilization. Now, he says, Follow me, and begins to stride deeper into the jungle.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"We appreciate your offer, Grougal... ah. grn. As we are here to learn what we can about your world, can you advise us in regards as to where we might go from here? Are their centers of learning or repositories of knowledge in this world that you can direct us to?"

"Or even just places where we could survive for a few days without having to fight giant monster-apes..."

I follow.

[Illven]

Thank you kind sir. Sue replied with a curtsy.

[JNAProductions]

Grougaloragran leads you through the jungle. His mere presence seems to keep the various fauna at bay, leaving you undisturbed as you travel. Eventually, you reach another shore, this one above a cliff face. Here is where we'll be disembarking, he says, then leaps off the cliff.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I check to make sure there is water at the bottom of the cliff, then (assuming there is) shrug at the others and jump.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"By Marten! Is he insane?!"

[JNAProductions]

I check to make sure there is water at the bottom of the cliff, then (assuming there is) shrug at the others and jump.

Before you jump, a massive avian creature comes soaring up from under the cliff, landing next to the group and spreading one wing down, so as to allow the group to climb on its back.

[Illven]

Sue will climb on it's back.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Indeed, looks like this is our ride. "What is that thing?" In wonder aloud.

[JNAProductions]

It is me, Grougaloragran answers, his voice oddly distorted through the beak.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth climbs on up.

[JNAProductions]

Grougaloragran, once all three are aboard, spreads his wings and leaps off the cliff once more, flapping heavily and taking to the skies. He quickly rises above the clouds, then takes to soaring without flapping for long stretches.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Amazing! We're not just flying - we're soaring! I've never done that before. "Woooaaahh..." I breathe.

After a while, I get Grougaloragran's attention. "So, Grougaloragran, where are we? Does this... place have a name? Do you know which plane we are on?" Do they even call them 'planes' here?

[JNAProductions]

Amazing! We're not just flying - we're soaring! I've never done that before. "Woooaaahh..." I breathe.

After a while, I get Grougaloragran's attention. "So, Grougaloragran, where are we? Does this... place have a name? Do you know which plane we are on?" Do they even call them 'planes' here?

You are in the World of Twelve.

...

Tell me. Does your home have space for more? he asks.

Feel free to include any details about your home you would like.

[Illven]

Probably, but that seems a weird question, why? Sue asks.

[JNAProductions]

Probably, but that seems a weird question, why? Sue asks.

This world is in danger. Ogrest's tears flood the lands, and demons stalk the reaches of it. A new home... Many would resist it. But it might be needed.

[Illven]

This world is in danger. Ogrest's tears flood the lands, and demons stalk the reaches of it. A new home... Many would resist it. But it might be needed.

Wait you mean home plane? Sue asked cocking her head.

[JNAProductions]

Wait you mean home plane? Sue asked cocking her head.

What do you mean by plane?

[Illven]

What do you mean by plane?

I... Realm of exsistance. I think. Sue replied.

[JNAProductions]

I... Realm of exsistance. I think. Sue replied.

I see. Call it what you will, but a new home may be needed.

[Illven]

I see. Call it what you will, but a new home may be needed.

How many people do you have? Sue questioned.

[JNAProductions]

I do not know. Many people are too scattered to properly count.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Grougaloragran, it seems your world is in distress, which is... distressing. However, we cannot pretend to speak for our entire plane. I promise you this, though, if you are true, and aid us in completing our charge here on your world, we will do what we can to aid you and your people."

[JNAProductions]

Not my people. The Eliatropes are safe. But the rest of this world...

Thank you, Garth. I'm afraid what help I can give is limited to words and bringing you to Bonta. But while we fly, ask your questions. I will answer as best I can.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Well, first, you say this is the "World of the Twelve." What - or who - exactly, are the Twelve?"

[JNAProductions]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Well, first, you say this is the "World of the Twelve." What - or who - exactly, are the Twelve?"

The gods and goddesses of this world. Cra, Ecaflip, Eniripsa, Enutrof, Feca, Iop, Osamodas, Pandawa, Sacrier, Sadida, Sram, and Xelor.

[Ninja_Prawn]

They have their own gods, hm? I wonder if my patron will be able to reach me here.

Not that that's really important. Groug's proposal to relocate the population of this world to ours is clearly a very Big Deal. "Grougaloragran, who opened the portal to our world?"

[JNAProductions]

I do not know.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Hm, well. If this world is in danger, perhaps we can help. I have some experience with fighting demons, at least. Surely that would be better than just running away..." especially considering how much trouble there would be if the denizens of the World of Twelve were dropped into our home world. "Do you know of anyone else who is trying to protect this world - with whom we might be able to join forces?"

[JNAProductions]

"Hm, well. If this world is in danger, perhaps we can help. I have some experience with fighting demons, at least.

"Do you know of anyone else who is trying to protect this world - with whom we might be able to join forces?"

There are many-people fight for their home. It is not the demons that are the true threat, though-it is the flooding of the world.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I glare at the back of his head. "I appreciate that, Groug; I simply cannot claim any experience in the field of flood drainage." I take a breath to calm myself. "What I was really asking was if you could point us towards specific individuals who have active plans to preserve this world. We aren't going to be doing anyone any good if we're just wandering around aimlessly down there."

[JNAProductions]

"What I was really asking was if you could point us towards specific individuals who have active plans to preserve this world. We aren't going to be doing anyone any good if we're just wandering around aimlessly down there."

Hm... he says, the feeling of his contemplation reverberating through his chest. I have heard of a man-Otamai-who seeks to stop Ogrest's tears.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Well that sounds promising. Where would we find him?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth nods at Rebirth.

"Aye, and what can you tell us about him?"

[JNAProductions]

"Well that sounds promising. Where would we find him?"


Garth nods at Rebirth.

"Aye, and what can you tell us about him?"

He's an alchemist extraordinaire. As for where he is... Only the gods know, if them.

[Ninja_Prawn]

That's something to go on, at least. I settle in and watch the scenery go by until something interesting happens.

[JNAProductions]

That's something to go on, at least. I settle in and watch the scenery go by until something interesting happens.

Several hours pass, uneventfully. There are some brief snippets of conversation, but nothing of any great importance. Then, Grougaloragran begins to descend, announcing We have reached the outskirts of Bonta. It might be as much as a day's walk to reach the city, to the east, but I would rather stay out of sight. For my own reasons.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Grougalagarn, if you would be so kind as to set us down somewhere that is somewhat, secluded?, from the local fauna, we would certainly appreciate it. We'll need to gather ourselves before we make the trek to Bonta."

[JNAProductions]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Grougalagarn, if you would be so kind as to set us down somewhere that is somewhat, secluded?, from the local fauna, we would certainly appreciate it. We'll need to gather ourselves before we make the trek to Bonta."

The creatures here are far less dangerous than those on my island. You have no need to fear, he says as he continues his descent, a verdant forest coming into view down below.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Well, thank you for bringing us here." A thought occurs. "If it turns out that evacuating this world is necessary, it strikes me that your assistance would enable us to move many more people to safety. Is there a means by which we can contact you in such an event?"

[JNAProductions]

"Well, thank you for bringing us here." A thought occurs. "If it turns out that evacuating this world is necessary, it strikes me that your assistance would enable us to move many more people to safety. Is there a means by which we can contact you in such an event?"

Unless you have some magic capable of speaking great distances, I do not. But rest assured, I will hear of any attempts to evacuate the world, and if need be, will lend my assistance.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Okay. Well, we'd better get started on finding Otamai and helping this 'Ogrest' character. Hopefully we won't be seeing you again soon! Uh, no offense, I mean."

Once we're dismounted and on our own again, I'll take a look around and suggest to my companions: "looks like we should head for Bonta. Who wants to navigate?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth declares, "I shall walk at the front of the group. As far as keeping us on course, I can endeavor to do so, unless either of you have some skill in that regard?"

[JNAProductions]

Fare thee well. Thank you for being so willing to assist our world, even being strangers to it, Grougaloragran says as he begins to flap his wings and take flight once more.

Bonta is, like Groug said, right to the east. The forest is a pretty safe place (there are some bears and wolves, but nothing particularly dangerous) so if you'd like we can skip straight to Bonta.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth peers to the East. "Actually, that appears to be Bonta right over there. Shall we head straight there?"

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Lead on. The sooner we get back to civilisation, the sooner I can eat something. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for lunch!"

[JNAProductions]

The group heads for the city, arriving after a few hours of travel to the outskirts of the city. An old wall is visible another half-mile in, but the city has expanded beyond it, and the first place they come to is a marketplace, full of mostly ordinary goods.

[Illven]

What do people tend to eat around here. Sue pipes up.

"Let's find out, shall we?" I head over to the first person I see who is selling fruit that looks palatable.

I make a show of examining the fruit and say, as if just making idle conversation: "crazy weather we've been having lately, huh?"

The man looks at Rebirth oddly, saying "Not... Really? I mean, it was raining the past few days, and it's clear today. Not exactly crazy."

The fruit seems to be some sort of spiky yellow item, with a hard rind. Rebirth can see someone with a small bag of them walking away with one in hand, cracking it open to get to the reddish-orange meat of the actual fruit itself.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Oh, heh, maybe it's just me, haha..." Even I can tell that laughter sounds forced. Man, this guy probably thinks I'm totally insane. Oh well.

May as well get some of these yellow things, while I'm here. "So how much are these?"

[JNAProductions]

"Oh, heh, maybe it's just me, haha..." Even I can tell that laughter sounds forced. Man, this guy probably thinks I'm totally insane. Oh well.

"3 to the kama," he says, abandoning his quizzical look now that he has a potentially paying customer.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Kama? Oh, right, money. That could be a problem. I prevaricate for a while, then 'decide' not to buy and leave the fruit stall.

To the other two: "we... might have to live off rations until we can earn some of the local currency. Sorry. But on the bright side, that guy didn't seem overly concerned about any impending global crises. Perhaps things here are salvageable. The question is, how do we go about it?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)


"I have enough hardtack, and dried meat, nuts and berries to last us a number of days, so I'm not too worried in that regard. As far as learning about this world and the threat to it, I believe the only lead we have is this Otamai. Perhaps there is an alchemists guild, or some collection of sages whom we could consult. Potentially, if we can make contact with whatever passes for the nobility in this city, our obvious breeding may open some doors for us as well."

I am carrying 10 days' rations and 5 days' worth of water, which I can share around. DM can let me know if we have already used up any of that. We can also sleep rough if we can't talk our way into any accommodations. I do have camping supplies as well.

[Illven]

Can we trade gold for currency? Gold is typically valued everywhere. Sue questions.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Probably, but did you bring any? I know I didn't. Anyway, I think Garth is right about finding someone with political clout. They might be interested in supporting our mission here."

[Illven]

Sue pulls out a small pouch weighted down with several gold coins.

Although Gareth does in fact have a point.

[JNAProductions]

Everybody, state now how much gold you have on you.

[Armored Walrus]

18 hundred bajillion million. Although I didn't put any on my character sheet. I just assumed the "unlimited gold" at char gen only accounted for what we could choose for starting equipment. But, if I need to pick a number out of the air right now, I'll say... 100 gold.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Well, I think someone just volunteered to look after our finances. I'm going to see if I can speak to someone in charge."

I'm just going to go ahead and ask random people where I might find a 'lord' or 'mayor' or 'council'... I keep trying until someone indicates where to go.

After some asking around, Rebirth is able to find out about the Council that heads Bonta. A sort of ruling oligarchy from various families, they appear to be quite popular amongst the people.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I will try and get us a meeting with the council, then. Presumably they have some kind of palace or meeting house? I'll go there and see how things work.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth walks straight up to the council building and attempts to walk right inside.

[JNAProductions]

The guards nod to Garth, one of them saying to the other "Odd clothes, eh?" but do nothing to bar his entrance. Inside, though, he can see a sizable line of people, waiting to (presumably) see the councilmen.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth gazes at those in line, getting an impression as to whether the folks waiting in line are commoners or *important people*.

[JNAProductions]

Garth gazes at those in line, getting an impression as to whether the folks waiting in line are commoners or *important people*.

There seems to be a mixture, with the more important folk leaning towards the front of the line. At least, he thinks so, judging by the clothing and attitudes of the various people.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Ugh, how I dislike queues. I make a little nonsense gesture (as if to say "hang on, imma be right back") to my companions and saunter up to an ordinary-looking person near the end of the line. "Afternoon. Are you all waiting to see the council?" Assuming they are, I also ask "How long's the wait?"

"Yes, I am," the young man responds. "As for the wait... I've been here for only about ten minutes, but that's because I couldn't get in yesterday. So... At least an hour or two?"

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Thank you."

I go back to the others and relay the information: "looks like it'll be a few hours. Do we want to wait? We could have one of us stay here while the other two do something else..."

[Armored Walrus]

Speech: "I feel we should stick together. If we must wait, then I suppose we wait."

[JNAProductions]

If you do decide to wait, I'll timeskip ahead to when something happens other than waiting in line.

If not, well, whatcha gonna do?

[JNAProductions]

After approximately three hours of waiting, you're about halfway up the line. Around this time, though, someone comes storming out of the council chambers, shouting "This is preposterous!"

[Illven]

Excuse me! What is preposterous!? Sue called out, leaning towards the robed figure and waving for attention.

[JNAProductions]

The person, who, upon turning to face you all, is revealed to be a [roll0] (1-Man, 2-Woman) says "The council refuses to hear me out! They took one look at my petition and threw me out!"

[Illven]

The person, who, upon turning to face you all, is revealed to be a [roll0] (1-Man, 2-Woman) says "The council refuses to hear me out! They took one look at my petition and threw me out!"

What's your petition? Sue asked looking for papers in the man's arms or hands.

[JNAProductions]

"They refuse to give me fishing rights for Bonta's seas!" he says, still speaking quite loudly.

At this point, a plainer-looking young man, dressed in common clothes and carrying a harpoon, speaks up. "Maybe because they actually care about the average fisherman, like me!"

'You! You provide nothing to this great city, whereas I keep dozens, if not HUNDREDS of people employed and well!" the noble retorts.

"Ha! What makes you think they need YOU to fish like good, honest folk? All you do is sponge off the hard work of others!" the common man says, stepping out of line towards the noble.

[Illven]

Perhaps the king's court is not the proper place for this argument. Sue replies getting in between the two men.

Did the king say why he denied you? Sue asked.

[JNAProductions]

"What king? The COUNCIL decided to deny me MY rights!" the nobleman says.

"YOUR rights? To hell with this!" the fisherman says, drawing his harpoon. The nobleman responds by dropping to a combat-ready stance, his hands glowing slightly.

[Illven]

"What king? The COUNCIL decided to deny me MY rights!" the nobleman says.

"YOUR rights? To hell with this!" the fisherman says, drawing his harpoon. The nobleman responds by dropping to a combat-ready stance, his hands glowing slightly.

Hey both of you! If you two fight you'll just get arrested, and then the council won't listen to either of you! Sue said stepping in-between them.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Frankly, I don't really want to get involved here. It isn't our fight. And as much as I place the blame squarely on the nobleman and his supposed 'rights', I feel the fisherman is a fool to draw a weapon in a place like this.

If Sue wants to break up the fight, I'll support her. I do know a spell that might help; I prepare to cast Calm Emotions If anyone launches an attack.

[JNAProductions]

The nobleman takes the first swing, throwing his hand out with a blast of energy. As he does, though, Rebirth casts her spell, calming the heated emotions in the air.

Saves:

Fisherdude-[roll0]
Nobleman-[roll1]

The fisherman dodges the first blow, and begins to lower his harpoon. The nobleman, though unaffected by the spell, takes a moment and also lowers his hands. Then, with a wicked glint in his eyes, steps towards the fisherman. "Now now, perhaps we can settle this peacefully..."

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth approaches the nobleman with his empty hands raised, "Sir, is this any way to behave in a council building? I agree that it is unfortunate when governments don't understand the importance of our contribution to the welfare of the masses, but your grievance is best handled through proper channels, don't you agree?"

Persuasion? [roll0]

[JNAProductions]

Bull-headed stubbornness check. [roll0] +2

Wow. 1/400 chance AGAIN. This dice roller hates me. Lucky for you guys!

"I... I suppose not," he says, the glint fading from his eyes. "I am sorry, young fisherman."

"S'alright," the fisherman says, still under the effects of Calm Emotions. "Just don't do it again."

[Ninja_Prawn]

Thank the stars that's over. As we go back to waiting on the council, take the opportunity to engage with the fisherman. "My good man," I begin, "that was most admirable, how you stood up to that puffed-up fool. You must be glad that the Council supports the common man so. If you hadn't guessed, I am a stranger here... tell me, has there been much change in the seas lately?"

If you hadn't guessed, I am a stranger here... tell me, has there been much change in the seas lately?"

"Nothing outside of the usual. S'it's why Bonta is built so high above the sea-the oceans are always rising, so we'd have to rebuild the whole blazing city if it was lower. As it is, the docks have to get rebuilt, or at least moved, every few years or so," he responds.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Must be a good place to be a carpenter," I muse.

Back to waiting, I suppose. Maybe this council needs some kind of... system?

[JNAProductions]

A few more hours pass, with the line slowly moving. Eventually, after nearly a day of dull waiting, you're all finally brought in before a representative of the council. "Good day, sirs and madam. What is your matter with the council?"

[Ninja_Prawn]

I wait for a second to see if the others want to take the lead. I know I'm the oldest, but places like this still make me nervous. "Hello. We are adventurers and explorers who have travelled here from distant lands. We come before you to request your aid with our quest, which is to halt the flooding of this world by stopping Ogrest's tears."

I go into more detail: "specifically, we seek one named Otamai, who we understand to be working towards the same goal. Being strangers here, we lack for maps, cultural knowledge, local currency, transport, accommodation and so on." It sounds a lot, when I put it like that. They're going to want something in exchange, aren't they? "If you can assist with such things, we would be happy to put our adventuring skills at your disposal, and to help you set up diplomatic relations with our homeland (should you desire them). To say nothing of the benefits you would reap if our quest is successful."

So, I'm trying to be my most smooth and charming self here. Charisma (Persuasion): [roll0]

The secretary sighs. "Look-you sound sincere. But do you have any idea how many nutjobs I get coming by, claiming they can stop Ogrest? I admit, you seem a little better prepared than most of them, but I'm afraid the council is liable to laugh you out of the room if you tell this to them. And who's this Otamai?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Who 'this Otamai' is, is precisely what we'd like the council to assist us in discovering. Frankly, we need access to resources, information, allies, who can assist us in learning more about this world and how it operates. Surely the council can at least provide us with some direction?"

"The council can, I'm sure. But the issue is, why would they? Unless you can give some sort of proof that you're all you say you are, there's nothing I can really do to help you."

[Ninja_Prawn]

"The council can, I'm sure. But the issue is, why would they? Unless you can give some sort of proof that you're all you say you are, there's nothing I can really do to help you."

"If you need proof that we are competent adventurers, I can give you a demonstration of my magic." I pull out my focus crystal. As an afterthought: "though perhaps it might be safer to do that outside."

"Please, don't," the secretary says. "I can't be-"

"RAISE THE ALARM!" a sudden cry goes out, heard throughout the building. "WE'VE GOT SKY-PIRATES INCOMING!"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)


Garth says, "Hold that thought," and rushes outside. He finds the highest ground he can and prepares his longbow.

Outside, Garth can see airships descending upon the council building. Hooks with ropes attached are being tossed over the side, in preparation for raiders descending.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Torm guide me," says Garth as he grips his bow. He reaches out to beseech the divine favor of Torm, and his bow begins to glow with a holy light. Garth knocks an arrow and waits for the first climber to come in range.

Used Channel Divinity to make my bow my Sacred Weapon - add CHA modifier to attacks for next 10 rounds.

[JNAProductions]

I will wait for everyone else to take actions before they drop. Don't worry-this isn't running the clock on your Sacred Weapon.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Ooh, pirates! How exciting!" Well, time to be a hero. I hope it's not just the three of us...

I run after Garth as quickly as I can and secure another position with a good vantage over the council building. Preferably not right next to the paladin.

I'll ready an action to cast Eldritch Blast at the first pirate that comes into range.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth shouts to Rebirth, "The gods are generous! We needed a chance to prove our worth, and one literally drops from the sky!"

[Ninja_Prawn]

Odd to think a gang of pirates is doing the work of the gods... and I remain unconvinced that Garth's god has any power in this place. "I just hope there aren't too many of them. Look at all the ships!"

[Illven]

Sue takes Rebirth and pecks her on the cheek.

We've got this okay. Sue replied confidently, as she prepared to cast a spell.


Inspiring Rebirth.

And casting Hold person on the second pirate to come down a rope.

[JNAProductions]

In the future, please roll all appropriate rolls when readying the action.

The pirates begin to descend, four ropes firmly attached, and twelve pirates descending into range.

[Illven]

Sue's spell goes off, enchanting the pirate and causing their muscles to seize.


Hold person is a wisdom save of 15.

[JNAProductions]

Roll a d20 yourself, Illven. I'll add mods as needed.

[roll0]

One of them locks up, falling from the rope and knocking another one down. They both fall, landing hard on the rooftop with a "crack" of bones breaking.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I unleash a multi-hued beam of arcane power, clearly enunciating the verbal component: "adaestuo!"

Rebirth takes aim...

Attack: [roll0]

The pirate takes a nasty blow to his side,and falls too. The charge slows ever so slightly, but keeps its headlong momentum.

[Armored Walrus]

Heading: Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth draws a bead on the next nearest pirate, releasing.

Attack [roll0] Damage [roll1]

The arrow just barely glances off, hitting one of the metal pieces studded throughout their armor. At his words, though, the pirates are galvanized into swifter motion, dropping faster than before. Soon, the initial wave is out of sight on the rooftop.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I'll take another shot at whichever pirate is closest to touching down. "Adaestuo!"

The tiefling sniper strikes again?

Attack: [roll0]

Sue will cast tasha hideous laughter.

Hey, do you think when they make a movie about this, it'll be rated RRAGH!

A shot is fired out at one of the pirates on the ropes, sending him crashing down a short distance.

However, the first wave has reached the inside of the councilmans' building, and you hear battle cries starting up.

[Illven]

Do we go? Sue shouted out to her two comrades.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Yes, we've failed to keep them from landing. We must go in and defend the innocent!"

Garth rushes into the building, ready to take a shot at the first pirate he sees.

"Yes, we've failed to keep them from landing. We must go in and defend the innocent!"

Garth rushes into the building, ready to take a shot at the first pirate he sees.

The group rushes back inside, pounding up the stairs at a breakneck pace. On the way up, you see the massive doors that presumably lead to the council chambers, but move past them swiftly, continuing up until you arrive on the fifth floor and see four pirates just finishing taking down some of the guards.

Roll Initiative.

Pirates:

[Armored Walrus]

[roll0]

Garth drops his bow and readies his sword and longsword, preparing to rush the foes.

Attack [roll1] Damage [roll2] If I win initiative, I'll charge ahead and attack, trying to keep them occupied so the women can stay at range. If I don't - assuming they close - I'll simply attack. Switched to the sword since I assume it took us longer than a minute to climb five flights.

[Illven]

Sue rushed in after her two friends.


Init [roll0]

[Ninja_Prawn]

I prepare to engage the pirates, shield and crystal in hand. I begin the incantation, but hold the last syllable on the tip of my tongue... "Vys, dree..."

Initiative: [roll0]

My first action will be to cast Sleep II At as many pirates as I can hit. HP: [roll1]

[JNAProductions]

I'll assume Sue delays, giving Rebirth a chance to cast her spell.

Two of the pirates drop to the ground, unconscious, while the third readies his attacks.

[Illven]

Sue will blow a kiss at the two remaining pirates. Seeming to send it along with her sword, and adding a flirtious wink as she waits to see if the magic takes effect.

One pirate charges forward, but the other is grabbed by his companion. "Hold on-they aren't guards. Let's try talking."

"The hell you saying? They knocked them out with one spell!"

"So think about what they could do to us if we attack! Look-let's just try it," the charmed pirate says.

"Fine! What'll it take to get you lot out of our way?"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth bites his tongue, unsure whether he will disrupt the magic if he is the one to speak.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Oh, oh, Sue!" I whisper, "tell them to let us join their crew!"

I hope she can tell I'm joking.

[Illven]

Sue grins at Rebirth's joke

I cannot get out of your way. Please don't make me stop you. She said firmly.

Soon, they crash into Garth, swords flicking out.

[roll2]
[roll3]

Two attacks total.

[JNAProductions]

As they attack Garth, he strikes back, severely wounding one of them with his blade.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I consider doing something to slow down the pirates attacking Garth, but then I have a moment of inspiration and decide that it'd be safer to just open fire and try to bring one down wholesale.

"Adaestuo!"

Eldritch Blast against the wounded one: [roll0] + [roll1] from Bardic Inspiration.

The pirates lash out again, even as Garth launches a retaliatory strike. His blade cuts deep into the uncharmed pirate, sending him crashing to the ground, unconscious, and the other pirate lowers his sword. "Okay, parley, parley!"

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"How many more of you have landed? And what are you after?"

[Ninja_Prawn]

Since no one's like to stop me, I'm going to pull one of my silken ropes out of my bag of holding while Garth is talking and go tie the two sleeping pirates up, back-to-back. So that they don't cause any more trouble, of course.

[JNAProductions]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"How many more of you have landed? And what are you after?"

"At least three dozen-and we were paid to cause havoc, that's all I know!" he says.

Any idea how many guards their are. She asks to the room.

So there's 18 guards in the palace? Sue asked hand on her hip.

Any idea how many guards their are. She asks to the room.

"Well, if 18 pirates were sent down, but we shot 6 off the ropes and captured 4 here, I reckon there are 8 still at large."

Once I have finished tying up the sleepers, I get ready to hunt down the remaining pirates. "Hey, Sue, could you ask your 'friend' where the other pirates were headed?"

[Illven]

Do you know that? Sue replied gesturing to Rebirth in a answer her question way.

[JNAProductions]

Do you know that? Sue replied gesturing to Rebirth in a answer her question way.

"I don't know-probably on the upper floors."

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

"Shall we head up then?"

[Illven]

Let's go! Sue nods.

Do you want to earn your freedom? She offers to the still standing pirate.

[JNAProductions]

Let's go! Sue nods.

Do you want to earn your freedom? She offers to the still standing pirate.

Make a Persausion check. (With advantage, due to charm.)

[Illven]

Sue implored the pirate with her eyes.

Fear test.

"Look-you have to make sure I'm hidden from the rest of the crew. Fake my death, or something-or else the captain will have me dead. But... Yes."

[Illven]

Anyone have a disguise kit? Sue questioned her comrades.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I take the other two aside, so the pirate can't hear. "I could turn him invisible, if you think we can trust him. I mean, he is still a pirate at the end of the day."

[Illven]

I think a disguise will work better, won't invisibly break if he helps us. Sue questioned.

[Ninja_Prawn]

"Depending on the nature of the 'help,' yeah, it would. I'm not much good with disguises though. Could we just stuff him in a sack and hide him in a corner until the others are dealt with?"

[Illven]

"Depending on the nature of the 'help,' yeah, it would. I'm not much good with disguises though. Could we just stuff him in a sack and hide him in a corner until the others are dealt with?"

That seems a bit cruel though. Sue replied rubbing the back of her neck.

[Armored Walrus]

Garth the Paladin (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=869587)

Garth glances at the dead pirate, "More cruel than his companion's fate? Nay, don't look at me so, Sue. These people descended in force on a peaceful city, they do deserve some rough treatment."

[Ninja_Prawn]

"It's for his own good, really." I smile.

[Illven]

I know when I'm outvoted at least. Sue replies looking down.

[JNAProductions]

The pirate looks nervous, but nods. "Alright."

[Illven]

Don't worry, you'll be safe at least. Sue replied.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Once we've made the pirate 'safe', I run off upstairs, looking for the others. Hopefully we're not too late...

[JNAProductions]

Following the sound of a battle some short ways away, Rebirth (and the others, if following) find a large battle going on in a room a few doors down-some sort of large conference room. The pirates have overturned tables and are shooting with crossbows into the guards, while the guards are returning fire with bow and arrow.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I run into the room, shout "the cavalry has arrived" and prepare for battle.

Initiative: [roll0]

Opening move: if the guards are closer to me, I'll go stand with them; if the pirates are closer, I move to flank them.
Action will be: Eldritch Blast at any pirate who looks like a good shot. Attack: [roll1], damage: [roll2] force.

[Illven]

Sue will stride into the room confidently.

And the guards are nearer.

[Armored Walrus]

[roll0]

I will charge in and attack. [roll1] Damage [roll2]

[JNAProductions]

The guards fire off a few shots before ducking back under cover. One of them says to the new arrivals "We need someone to break their lines-get them to expose themselves!"

Rebirth fires off her Eldritch Blast, but the pirates are all behind cover, making her blast useless.

There's about 40' of open space between the guards' lines and the pirates. Is Garth sure he wants to charge across the open space?

[Illven]

Sue will target what seems to be their leader, with a cunning insult. (I got 4 hours of sleep last night)

Damage [roll1]

[JNAProductions]

The pirates fire off their weapons, some aiming at Garth, some at the guards to force them to keep their heads down.

Five shots at Garth, with disadvantage due to dodge.

Garth closes the remaining distance to the nearest pirate and takes a swing.

Attack [roll0] Damage [roll1]

Vaulting over the tables erected as defense, Garth swings his blade hard, cutting deeply into one of the pirates. He lets out a scream of pain, dropping his crossbow and readying his own blade.
