Your deeds and renown have been heard of and because of these thing you have been requested to travel to Rel Mord one of the great capitals of all the lands.
Home to King Black an elderly man but a good king. Your royal summons indicate that there is a rising threat that the king has become aware of and all of the entire realm is in danger should nothing be done. You are look on to become the Hero of the Realm, to save all from a dreadful fate.
Travel light and swift to arrive at the capital in all due haste. A great reward awaits.
After weeks of travel from your various homes you have finally arrived.

Rel Mord is the capital of Nyrond. This great walled city on the Duntide River with a population around 47,000(Human 60%, Elf 20%, Dwarf 15%, Halfling 2%, Gnome 2%, Other 1%) people is the 6th largest in all the realm.

Nyrond is ruled by Bartholomew B. Black and is Home to the Royal University, a large market place to put many others to shame, a guild and temple for practically everyone.
Royal Elite Soldiers patrol the streets day and night making it one of the safest areas around and a low amount of crime.

On the way to the royal court, as you pass through the market, you overhear tales of Baron Bastrayne a nasty man who has raised taxes on his land several times this year, His people starve while he sits at banquet and is suspected of other evil doings to his people in woodwych.
You also overhear of a northern villiage Vlekstaad that has not sent a trade caravan in months and they wonder why.

Some time later having been escorted to the royal court by a few of the soldiers, you are asked to wait in the main audience chamber. Where someone will come to meet with you.

the audience chamber is decorated with a grand host of imagery, Lit braziers line the walls and columns in the chamber at the far end from the doors that you came through you can see a lavish throne, nearby a solid table with chairs, On the table are place settings for six one at the head and foot, two to each side. there are three large pitchers already set. As you wait several servants come and place various meats, bread, cheese and exotic fruits upon the table.

A servant comes to your group, motions to the food at the table but does not speak.

[Tallytrev813]

A woman steps forward towards where the servant is motioning. She stands tall and sturdy, shoulders back and head up - with a clear and noticeable confidence, nay, a presence even. Those near her can almost feel a sense of controlled strength and willpower as she walks by. With a large sturdy shield strapped to her back and a spear at her side, one might find her to be quite intimidating - though those who look closely feel an odd sense of serenity in her affect.

"Ah, excellent. It looks delicious, thank you very much." She says to the servant kindly as she takes her seat. Faith takes a moment, closes her eyes and bows her head, clinching something in her pocket, and mumbles a short prayer....and then immediately reaches for a portion of meat so great that one might think it was taken by mistake, until Faith takes a hearty bite and begins poring a flagon of drink.

She turns to the group coming in behind her, "I'm interested in the reason for our summons. It must be dire with a greeting like this and such a hasty summons!"

She takes another bite and washes it down with Ale.

"Truly a greeting worthy of Tyr himself! Delicious!"

[samduke]

as you speak
"Truly a greeting worthy of Tyr himself! Delicious!"
a brilliant light appears out of no where not more than 5 ft from you.. a loud booming echos throughout the chamber
Sunder make a (Insight, History, Perception, Religion check Then roll Con Save vs. Fear <not a mind effectl>) anyone else at the table as well, not at the table you can roll (Insight, History, Perception, Religion check)

[YoFizz]

Thorarak stood to the side of the table waiting to see why he was brought here. He doesn't like dancing around subjects and detests a feast in the guise of setting up dire business matters. He thinks its a disrespect to feasts.

Perception: [roll0]

[samduke]

Thorarak is surprised by the bright light suddenly appearing you only catch a glimps of a humanoid figure in the bright light as it appears. you stand back in fear of the unknown

[samduke]

as the party reels in fright from both the noise and brilliant light, just as soon the room returns to normal light levels and an elderly man stands near the head of the table. he is dressed in a fine robe over glistening golden fine scale armor with what looks like reptilian skin boots and gloves. The elderly man without so much as a word seats himself at the head of the table and eats a whole game hen, loaf of bread and quarter of a wheel of cheese with half a pitcher of fine elven wine.
When he finishes he stands and walks to the throne, turns adjusting the robe and then sits and addresses the party.

Ahh that was a good meal, now then to the business at hand my sages have informed me of the signs and warn me that a great and terrible war has begun. A war begun by none other than Tiamet for she seeks to overthrow the dragon counsel to gain rule over all. and while I know of Tiamet and her sibling Bahamut and even having heard of thier father the great creator of all IO, I only can do so much, send so many men to defend the people and that would be a waste of man for certain. So I asked the sages what could be done they say that in his wisdom IO shunned Tiamet for her lust for power, striking her and in so doing sent to our lands five great shards of Tiamets power for without these she can not win the great war.

This brings us to my immediate summons of the best that could be found from the lands around. It falls to you heroes to go forth, search and seek out these great dragon shards and return them to me.
Your journey will be long and wrought with danger for even with out her shards Tiamet still commands a great host and she too will be seeking out her shards through her minions. you must get to them before she collects them all.

I can only offer my thanks and a reward for certain for your efforts, you of course shall have access to the royal university, and I will even set forth word to the merchants that they are to give the royal discount for items you think you might need.

now then I am certain you must have questions, so consult among yourselves and come up with them for I grant you only three answers and then I must return to my official work.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith rises from her knee, shield drawn.
"Ah, King Bartholomew, i presume. It must be - We will not let you down. In the name of Tyr, Justice will prevail across these lands! You have my spear, King Bartholomew!"
She bangs her fist on the center of her shield.
Each word she speaks is more inspiring than the next, her confidence - unwavering.
Faith turns to the rest of the party,
"My greetings to you. I am Faith - Defender of the innocent, Valkyrie of Justice, Hand of our lord Tyr. Those who seek evil pursuits simply know me as, "Sunder.""

Her eyes scan across the party of adventurers, "What shall we ask? My suggestion would be where to start our quest, or the locations of these Shards we seek."

[YoFizz]

"A holy warrior in the name of Tyr and myself, a man of the cloth..." he tugs at his armor.
Well, a man of steel in the name of the great, Reorx. Tiamat and her evil army shall either be turned or be broken by my axe."
The dwarf's hair and beard were tied off in multiple spots. He pulled his beard tight and took his battle axe and cut it at the chin, he did the same with his ponytail and left them at the table for the king.

he turned to Faith. "An honor to meet you. Tyr is a fine god. Many people I've met that folloow Tyr have been fine warriors. Yes, we need to gather these shards before evil can. Maybe they have some sort of device to track them?"

[tallian]

The flash of light puts Terfel off his food - something very unusual. But he listens to the proposal, somewhat confused by the spectacle.

With a messy bow that shows off his lack of sophistication Terfel introduces himself. "Terfel Saether, from here and there - mostly wherever is paying good wages. Your...highness? Majesty? Flatters me with your praise. I find war is good for my income, but after the war is not. So to be paid not to have a war could be interesting."

He turns to Faith and suggests, "Perhaps some more detailed history of the shards, more recent history that is, could give us some insight into where to start looking."

[Tallytrev813]

Faith turns her gaze to Thororak, "Ay, another member of the faithful is always welcome. Reorx, you say? Orderer of Chaos, the Great creator. Surely a fine deity to whom one may place their faith in!"

She looks him up and down, meeting his gaze in a confident but friendly manner.

Re Divine Sense:
The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence
of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest,
you regain all expended uses.
========================
I'll react as though Thororak yields a Good, Faithful result.
Curious for the DMs response for the King, or other things in the room.
I have 2 remaining charges this long rest.


A sturdy one, indeed - Truly your foes must find great dismay when on the wrong end of your axe! An honor to fight alongside you, friend!"

Faith turns to King Bartholomew, "I'd like to ask a question, your grace. Can you provide us with the location of any, or all, of said Dragon Shards?"

[Tallytrev813]

The flash of light puts Terfel off his food - something very unusual. But he listens to the proposal, somewhat confused by the spectacle.

With a messy bow that shows off his lack of sophistication Terfel introduces himself. "Terfel Saether, from here and there - mostly wherever is paying good wages. Your...highness? Majesty?

He turns to Faith and suggests, "Perhaps some more detailed history of the shards, more recent history that is, could give us some insight into where to start looking."

"Ah, a fine idea indeed. I've asked my question, your's is a fine one as well - but for you to ask, friend."

She places her hand upon his shoulder, "I expect your bow shall bring swift death upon those who serve the forces of evil. A fine weapon, indeed."

[samduke]

( Faith casts Divine Sense... - this power/ability/spell fizzles
"I'd like to ask a question, your grace. Can you provide us with the location of any, or all, of said Dragon Shards?" )

For me to answer that would take either one or all three of your questions for that could be one or upto five answers and I have given you but three.

choose wisely and then ask in earnest.

My apologies, your grace. Perhaps i can be more specific. My question is; If you were to recommend the first dragon shard for us to collect, where might that shard be found?

[samduke]

My apologies, your grace. Perhaps i can be more specific. My question is; If you were to recommend the first dragon shard for us to collect, where might that shard be found?

that is two questions and I shall answer
#1: recommend the first dragon shard for us to collect - I suggest the white shard.
#2: where might that shard be found? - you answer lies within the villiage of Vlekstaad to the north

and for your final third Answer what shall it be?

[Tallytrev813]

Faith turns to her companions,
"Vleekstad, I am familiar with this place. It’s located at the southern tip of White Fanged Bay. Roughly 50 days travel north. We'd have to go around a few geographical barriers, but there's several towns along the way to replenish our supplies."

She scratches her head, "What shall our third question be? A detailed history of the shards? Perhaps a question about others who are seeking them?"

[YoFizz]

"This sorta thing isn't my strong suit. Maybe if we can use the shards to our advantage somehow as we go? Like can we harness their power against evil to help us collect the rest?

[Tallytrev813]

"This sorta thing isn't my strong suit. Maybe if we can use the shards to our advantage somehow as we go? Like can we harness their power against evil to help us collect the rest?

Faith looks at Thorarak, Aye, a fine inquiry indeed!

King Bartholomew, being as these are -Dragon- shards, have they any magical properties that apply to those who carry them?

[samduke]

Dragon- shards, have they any magical properties that apply to those who carry them?

answer: Yes.

questions three have asked thee, answers three hath given thee. With a momentary blink of the eye he flashes out gone as fast as he came. the royal guard are opening the outer doors of the audience chamber and walking in. One speaks to the group.

My Heros I have been instructed to show you to the university and the market, If you would please follow me.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith gives her companions an awkward smile, ”Heh...I shall have to make my spear more useful than my line of questioning...”

She prepares to follow the servant.

[YoFizz]

”You would think he’d be more likely to give us a little more to go on, but if I weren up for a challenge I wouldn’t be here...”

He turns away from his peers

“Go on then. Lead the way!”

[TheAxeman]

I apologize for my silence in the main chamber. My name is Naar Agkaraaj. Please allow me to assist in any way I can. We have an important task and clearly, we are all suited for it. I'm pleased to be working alongside you all. I myself in am a fire magi
Naar will follow the rest of the party.

[samduke]

the royal guard escorts the party from the chamber, you walk out of the palace grounds through the streets and stop near a round domed topped building. Pointing at it, "That is the Univeristy", then continues walking along for another full half hour taking the scenic route to the market place. Stopping at the edge of the market turning and handing each of you a round flat object with a palace on one side and a crown on the other. " a word of advise my hero's use that sparingly, for I have only seen the king give that to only a few other. Now if you will excuse me I have a wall I must go guard." he then turns without so much as a word and marches off the way you came from.

(OOC: Marketplace: if there is something you are seeking shop wise chances are it is here, item wise hard to say)

[tallian]

"Well that seems less helpful than it could be." Terfel comments as he looks around the market."If we're having a long journey, it might be worth looking for a caravan heading in the right direction. It'll make life a little more comfortable. If not, some mules and supplies would make a good second choice."

[Tallytrev813]

Faith watches the guard march off...and turns to Terfel.
"Something seems a little...off...about everyone here. I've never seen a coin like this, I'm very hesitant to part with it until i have a little more knowledge of what exactly is in our possession at this time."

She turns and looks to the market, "I shall head towards the market. I suggest we split into 2 groups - if anyone needs to go to the library that is - and meet back here in a couple of hours." Faith takes a moment to hide the coin on her person for the time being.

Faith heads to the market and upon entering the market scans the vendors and heads over to *Vendor*

(OOC: to prevent waiting on the DM for information, i'll say she heads to the most pleasant seeming vendor at a shop that one would think has knowledge of this coin. I'll leave it to DM discretion as to who a Paladin would find to be the most welcoming in those senses.)

"Good afternoon sir/ma'am. My name is faith, King Bartholomew has charged my companions and I with a task, and has given us access to the market for supplies. Is there anything you have in stock that may be of use to us, we have quite a long journey ahead. Also, I was given a coin, a very specific coin. It has a palace on one side, and a crown on the other. Are you familiar with such a coin?"

@All
you walk exactly 5 paces north to your left and right as far as the eye can see are vendor stalls one right after another each with various goods and or services.

(OOC: if any others follow Faith)

you decide that you will seek out a more noble & holy vendor, walking through the street, past several intersecting streets all full of vendors with several turns here and there. you finally reach a vendor with a symbol of Tyr on their banner.

"King who?" I have never heard of any king with that name, and I have been here for many solar cycles. as for goods and services I offer that would aid in a long journey, I have a few items that you may find interest in."
turning around he bends over picks up a rather large chest, turns back around setting it on the stand where it would open allowing Faith to look inside with ease. then he wanders over pointing around the side of the building "back there I have an stable full of creatures that you may find useful. last he reaches down picks up a rather odd looking piece of cloth and lays it next to the chest on the stand. " a stable full of creatures, a chest and a piece of cloth is what I think would suit your request best."

(OOC: the description of the object has no resulting action or comment from the vendor - do you show them the object?)

[TheAxeman]

Naar will look for a merchant selling spells or arcane items.
Good Afternoon, I'm looking for spell scrolls, paper and ink, and anything else by which you consider interesting.

"Excuse me, I meant King Black, King Bartholomew Black."
Faith had initially planned on keeping this coin close to the vest. She had learned her lesson after her missteps in the audience chamber. But, this was another follower of Tyr, and Faith felt comfortable with the vendor.


Per Background:
Faith's "piety sometimes leads her to blindly trust those that profess faith in my God." and "Sees omens in every event, the Gods try to speak to us."


"I must tell you, I'm happy to find another faithful follower of Tyr in such a large market, and I appreciate your consideration. I am Faith Boyd, loyal follower of Tyr, it is a pleasure to meet you. This is the coin King Black provided me." She shows him the coin. "Are you familiar with it?"

While she holds up the coin to display for the Vendor, she looks in the chest, examines the cloth, and checks the (assuming) list of animals for sale.

Please DM? :)

[samduke]

Naar will look for a merchant selling spells or arcane items.
Good Afternoon, I'm looking for spell scrolls, paper and ink, and anything else by which you consider interesting.

you can easily locate a provider of arcane and divine scrolls, paper, ink, spell components and other misc. magical things. (OOC: use magic item pricing guide for spell scrolls and the spell is available, ink, paper ect are at book price, other magical items again magic item pricing guide, I will roll to see if the vendor has it available, after you roll price)




"Excuse me, I meant King Black, King Bartholomew Black."

Please DM? :)
after you mention the name again - the vendor has this odd look on his face and again " Look I know not of this king you speak of our leader here is Baron Bastrayne, and has been for nigh on fifty years now."
and then you show the object...[roll0] - the vendor's eyes grow extremely wide, he is visually shaking in his boots and then passes out - THUD!

[Tallytrev813]

Faith looks at the coin, puzzled. Then she puts it back hidden on her person. She leans over and examines the vendor.

"Angels above, what's happened to you...he's alive at least..."

She places her hands on the vendor, and her hands start to glow a golden hue.
I have a HP pool of 40 points that refreshes every long rest, I'll use 10 points of healing on the Vendor.

"Sir, are you alright?"

[samduke]

(ooc: no actual healing required) but after a short time the vendor comes around, eyes blinking as if registering what has happened, then begins stammering like a wild man, shouting Bbbaarrbarous Bbbllackk! Noooo!!! standing turning to the east and then runs! - off towards the east are many a great temple.

Nearby vendors hear the noise and come from their stalls as he is running, and they are talking among themselves.
no it can not be true, he can not be back.. I heard he has been dead for eon's.. maybe there is hope yet for us to get rid of the baron if he goes hunting this fake..

[Tallytrev813]

Faith watches the Vendor run off, clearly working out in her head whats happening. It appears the gentleman we met in the audience hall may have been more than what he seemed.

"Wait...Sir...For the love of Tyr..."

Faith looks down at the items he left on the table.
Faith takes the Chest, the Cloth, and heads around back.
She picks out a Wagon, 2 mules, and 40 days of feed.
She also picks out 40 days of rations for people.

She places the chest in the wagon, with the Cloth inside the chest. Faith takes a moment to examine the cloth
If needed
[roll0]

[tallian]

Terfel follows faith into the shop. While Faith talks to the shopkeeper he looks around for items not bolted down, but fails to spot anything worth taking before a long journey.

THUD- Terfel looks over t osee the fallen shopkeeper, "You'll only bring more trouble if you..." he starts before he realises that Faith had nothing to do with his collapse.

after a short time the vendor comes around, eyes blinking as if registering what has happened, then begins stammering like a wild man, shouting Bbbaarrbarous Bbbllackk! Noooo!!! standing turning to the east and then runs! - off towards the east are many a great temple.

Terfel looks after the fleeing merchant, "That was strange. Perhaps we should have gone to the university first." As Faith starts to gather supplies in the shop Terfel heads for the door. "I hate reading. Always know who yer working for - fool." he grumbles. As he leaves the shop he shouts back, "Don't forget ale!"

Outside the shop, Terfel pauses briefly looking around. Choosing the nearest open mouthed bystander he heads over and asks, 'What blew up his @%$*&%@#$?"

Edit - Sucked into other dimention

[samduke]

Faith gathers up the chest opening it and placing the black cloth into the chest, once her hand leaves the cloth , she and Terfel experience a lot of searing pain, when you both open your eyes again, you no longe stand in the city street near the vendors, you are standing near a colossal platinum colored dragon who is looking down on you with what can only be described as a concerned look on its face. then it speaks.

Faith follower of Tyr, Terfel follower of Aranhrod, I welcome you to my home and realm, I would ask what it is you seek, but I already know and gave you answers three, I shall not remove my gift from you this time but I beg you show caution for my gift is limited to one use.

and without so much as allowing a word from either of you you are whisked away back to the city, where off about 20ft you can see your companions at a shop that clearly sells scrolls and magical items

(ooc, you do not have any of the items from the Tyr shop)

[Tallytrev813]

Faith looks at her companions confused for a moment, while she registers what exactly just happened.

"By the scales of justice, this place is full of surprises. Be on guard, things are not as they seem here..."

She examines the area, things seem OK. She shops at the magic item stores with companions after summoning her Noble Steed, "Psalm" and gearing him up with Saddle, Bit/Birdle, Bard, Etc.



Alchemy Jug (Uncommon) - [roll0]
Belt of Giant Strength (Hill) (Rare) - [roll1]
Broom of Flying (Uncommon) - [roll2]
Folding Boat (Rare) - [roll3]

[Tallytrev813]

Faith shops at a few stores along the merchant quarter.

She finds a small wooden box that, when the correct magic word is spoken, turns into a large Galley holding 15 people, or a smaller row boat holding 2-3. She's very interested, but the price is simply to high.

She haggles with the Merchant, who's initial price is 13,000 gp. Faith, however, has quite the silver tongue. By the Thorarak loans her some coin, and she is able to talk the merchant down to 5,000 gp.

In particular, Faith also notices a belt. It's made of a dark tinted metal, with a large buckle on the front depicting the face of a bald hill giant. She picks it up and feels a surge of strength that reminds her of when she initially found her Guantlets (Guantlets of Ogre Power), only stronger...

She haggles with the Dwarf, who is surprisingly stingy, and eventually comes to an agreement at $6000. She puts on the belt and continues on.

She shops at a few more stores, until she comes upon a slender dark haired gypsy of a woman selling trinkets and potions. After looking around the store, she happens upon a jug. Appearing rather ordinary, the shopkeeper comes over to her and explains that jug is no ordinary jug.

It can, once a day, produce many different things...Fresh Water....Honey...Oil...amongst others.

Faith, knowing a long and arduous journey lies ahead, decides to buy the Jug. After all, producing 1 Gallon of fresh water, or 1 gallon of Honey for Food/Water is invaluable in itself, let alone the potential for producing Poison, Oil, Beer, Wine, or Acid.

Faith also purchases some Vials to hold things like Acid, Oil, etc. She haggles with the Shopkeep who eventually agrees to 100 gp.

Faith packs up her Belt of Giant Strength (Hill) + Alchemy Jug and mounts Psalm, she then trots off seeking her companions.

[YoFizz]

"Oh uh, that was weird" Thorarak says as the man has a heart attack at the mere mention of a name. He takes a moment to really think about the name...

insight: 21
history: 24 (nat 20)

Wait hold on... that king, that was Bartholomew Black... He is -- er was a great hero! But that was a long long time ago... over 10,000 years ago. He's rumored to be immortal... but why would he want our help? If the man can't die, why not...none of this makes sense! Thorarak scratches at his now trimmed beard. Clearly overwhelmed and flustered.

"Oh uh, that was weird" Thorarak says as the man has a heart attack at the mere mention of a name. He takes a moment to really think about the name...

Faith approaches Thor riding on Psalm on the way back to the meeting point, Ho! Thorarak! Friend! Have you found anything of interest? This place is massive, and has anything you could desire! I do not trust it though, strange things are happening. That coin we received is eliciting some strange responses, and the mention of the name of this "King Black" draws bewilderment from the vendors. I'm skeptical."

She trots closer to Thor, "I did, however, find this Belt and a useful Jug for our travels. I still have a little wealth remaining, have you found much you desire yet?"

[YoFizz]

She trots closer to Thor, "I did, however, find this Belt and a useful Jug for our travels. I still have a little wealth remaining, have you found much you desire yet?"

"Well, I was following you around and I did see some fancy boat. Are ya much of a sailor? I might be just a little...short OH HO HO HO!" He begins to laugh and laugh at his own joke.

I'd like to try for the boat:
Folding Boat (Rare) [roll0] x1000

Thorarak begins to study the coin. Now that he's uncovered a bit of information about Barty, he looks at it more closely. (can i make another roll to identify this? history or arcana or something?)

Thorarak finds a nice place to sit and studies the coin, he holds it in his hand and begins casting a ritual to Detect Magic

[samduke]

you pull up a chair near the scroll shop, and begin to inspect the coin like object, casting detect magic..
- you are blinded for [roll0] rounds - no save, the aura from the object is extreamly brilliant, and is of the universal and transmutation schools

Thorarak blinks hard for about a half minute before his vision returns to him.

He tries to find Naar if he didn't follow the two holy warriors"Do me a favor friend, and try to identify this thing... it's magical aura blinded me -- I couldn't see a stinkin' thing.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith, seeing Thorarak having gone blind hops off of Psalm to aid him.
Are you alright? These coins...this..."Black" fellow...something nefarious is afoot."

As Thorarak's vision returns, she helps him up. Id say we should ditch these coins, but i suspect leaving them behind is not an option we are able to consider.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith shops at a few stores along the merchant quarter.

She finds a small wooden box that, when the correct magic word is spoken, turns into a large Galley holding 15 people, or a smaller row boat holding 2-3. She's very interested, but the price is simply to high.

She haggles with the Merchant, who's initial price is 13,000 gp. Faith, however, has quite the silver tongue. By the Thorarak loans her some coin, and she is able to talk the merchant down to 5,000 gp.

In particular, Faith also notices a belt. It's made of a dark tinted metal, with a large buckle on the front depicting the face of a bald hill giant. She picks it up and feels a surge of strength that reminds her of when she initially found her Guantlets (Guantlets of Ogre Power), only stronger...

She haggles with the Dwarf, who is surprisingly stingy, and eventually comes to an agreement at $6000. She puts on the belt and continues on.

She shops at a few more stores, until she comes upon a slender dark haired gypsy of a woman selling trinkets and potions. After looking around the store, she happens upon a jug. Appearing rather ordinary, the shopkeeper comes over to her and explains that jug is no ordinary jug.

It can, once a day, produce many different things...Fresh Water....Honey...Oil...amongst others.

Faith, knowing a long and arduous journey lies ahead, decides to buy the Jug. After all, producing 1 Gallon of fresh water, or 1 gallon of Honey for Food/Water is invaluable in itself, let alone the potential for producing Poison, Oil, Beer, Wine, or Acid.

Faith also purchases some Vials to hold things like Acid, Oil, etc. She haggles with the Shopkeep who eventually agrees to 100 gp.

Faith packs up her Belt of Giant Strength (Hill) + Alchemy Jug and mounts Psalm, she then trots off seeking her companions.

Once Thorarak's sight returns, Faith placer her hand on his shoulder.
A surprise for you, my friend. I was able to haggle with the Merchant for something that, while perhaps out of your comfort zone, may come in more than handy down the road.

Faith hands Thorarak the small wooden cube, and explains to him the magical words that activate the box into a small boat, into a large Galley, and the 3rd word which turns it back into a small wooden box.

My friend, may the wind always be at your back. She says, sarcastically. Faith knows Thorarak is no sailor, but justice demands his coin = his reward.

[YoFizz]

”Yo ho ho ho! Good work! I think I just need some gems for worst case scenarios. Then I think the rest of my coin I’ll hold on to for emergencies.”

Thorark will leave Naar to his work and begins to look for fairly large diamonds and a pearl. (Looking for diamond worth 300gp and a pearl worth 100gp)

[samduke]

Thorark will leave Naar to his work and begins to look for fairly large diamonds and a pearl. (Looking for diamond worth 300gp and a pearl worth 100gp)

the shop you are at has both items for list price

[YoFizz]

Thorarak will buy 5 diamonds and 1 pearl, the pearl he will give to Naar just in case he doesn't have that component for his spells and as a thank you for identifying the coin.

(reminder to subtract 5000 for boat and 1600 for gems)

[Tallytrev813]

Faith gathers the party together after they're all done buying what items and scrolls they desire (OOC: Feel free to post any shopping after this if im jumping the gun) and addresses the group,
Come, let us head to the stables. We will all need mounted travel for what lies ahead, travel will be too long on foot.

She, atop Psalm, leads the group over to the nearest shop that appears to be a stable.

[samduke]

whether walking or otherwise due to the crowded streets it takes about 10 minutes to get to the only building nearby that clearly indicates its a stables.
when you arrive a young human female greets you " Welcome fair travellers might Interests you in the greatest selection of mounted travel in all the land.
Well then why not come inside and you can take a look at what we have to offer here. mind you some of our rarer mounts are not cheep."

[tallian]

Terfel is left dumbfounded for a while after being sucking into a chest. He follows his companions around silently until they arrive at the horse merchant. "I would recommend an animal train, rather than a wagon. Mules are less likely to break or get stuck, even though they carry less. Of course that means we may need some teamsters. Of course if we go by boat much of they way, we won't need any - food on the other hand..."

I don't think that Faith bought any rations in the end. Terfel will be happy to get that once we have a means to carry it."

I don't think that Faith bought any rations in the end. Terfel will be happy to get that once we have a means to carry it."

Faith explains,

I had 40 days worth of rations for mounts and 40 days worth of rations for myself, but they disappeared with the wagon. I currently have 10 days worth of rations on me and 10 days worth of horsefeed on me

Also, while it may not be completely sustainable, I do have an alchemy jar that allows me to produce 1 gallon of Honey daily which can be used as a food substitute short term if were ever in a pinch

[samduke]

so does anyone wish to procure a mount here?

[tallian]

"We might need some mules." Terfel says before launching into a monologue on the logistics of getting to Vleekstad. He stops suddenly, "Did you say we had a boat? Animals on a boat could be troublesome." He scratches under an arm for second then suggests, "We could head overland to Trigot - about 8 days - trade in the animals that we don't need.
Then take the boat down the Franz river then up the east coast of the Nyrdy to Radigast. From there we can travel up the Artonsamay then the Zumker, stopping as needed, until we reach Catbut. Get some new animals there and cross the mountain pass to Vleekstad."

In general, this seems like a good plan. Though i dont see Catbut on the map - I see we could head up the Zumker river as far as Nevond Nevenerd (sp?) just before the Griff Mountains - but either way i agree in general with the direction and use of the boat.

Faith squints at her map (OOC: I cant read some of it lol, wheres Catbut?)

Wagon is an option, Perhaps if everyone were to procure a Bag of Holding, or a Portable Hole of some kind... We will, however, each need to be able to travel on horseback.

Faith takes a moment to think about the travels that lie ahead,
You know, some of our rides may be for 20+ days at times. If we have 4-5 mounts with 20 days of feed, thats around 1,000 lbs just to carry the food for the mounts. Not to mention our food/gear. Perhaps a means to travel a little more comfortably is in order.

Faith sets out, seeking another shop that seemingly would specialize in travel, and perhaps some sort of magical container (like a larger bag of holding)

[YoFizz]

"I almost forgot, I'm going to need a mount to get around, I need to make one more stop then I'm through with shopping."

Thorark finds his way to the stalls and looks over the various mounts for sale.

"LOOK AT THIS FABULOUS BEAST! It looks as if Reorx forged it himself! Sir, what do you call this beast? What does it eat and how much do you want for it? I'll need feed and all riding gear, and whatever I need to groom it properly."

Thorark is enthralled by the Griffin and is very interested in buying.

"That route made best use of the waterways but might take longer. If go this way..." he traces a mostly overland route with his finger, "the longest route would be 13 days.
I you're right. If we can find a few extra bags we could do that with just out own mounts." With that he sets of to search the market place for some more traveling storage.

The young woman at the stables " SIR , I am no SIR how dare you call me SIR.. Mister!, its Miss or Maam or even hey you, That creature is called a Griffon I was asking 3,000 gp but your blind it seems or ignorant which will cost you I want 3,500 gp, a sadle for that will be 100 bp and a harnes for it another 10 gp, Food , It eats meat - talk to the butcher, groom it a nasty horse brush will do 1 gp, but i shall laugh as it rips your arms from your body because it is not trained, and if you dont want that to happen you might seek out a trainer and tell them what it is you want trained they might come train it for you,I doubt it will be cheap." the young woman then turns and goes back to the stable office.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith trots to the nearest Merchant that appears to operate a Travel specialty shop.

She asks about travel, distance, terrain, and flow of water in the area based on her Map of the area, the merchant is kind enough to provide some information, free of charge. He explains that;
Rel Mord to Womham - Land 6 days, Boat (upriver)9-12 days
Womham to Midmedow - Land 12 days
Midmedow to near Stoink --Boat upriver-->Nevond Nevmond 24 days minimum
Midmedow to Winerhiven Land 10 days
Winterhiven to Nevod Nevnend Land 9 days
Nevod Nevnend to catbutt Land 5 days
Catbutt to Vleedstad Land mountains 13-20 days
Nevod Nevnend to Vleedstad Land around mountains thru hills 10-15 days

Faith expresses gratitude for the information, Thank you, sir/ma'am. I appreciate your assistance. Perhaps i can repay you with some business. My companions and I have a lot of Traveling ahead of us. We would be interested in any kind of container that may help our encumbrance level throughout the journey. You see, we are trying to avoid using a Wagon in an attempt to travel a little more freely.

Have yee anything we may find interesting? We have coin...

"Okay meat... me too... rip my arms off... trainer. okay okay. Miss, I'm very sorry, I didn't even lift my gaze. Do please forgive me. If you include the harness and saddle and a brush I will gladly pay the price you ask. I deserve the tax you charge for being so brash. Would you mind pointing me to a trainer?"

go about a quarter mile south west talk to Derf, he is probably crazy enough to try training this, what he would ask for payment hard to say, get it trained then I will consider your counter offer.

edit
the merchant actually looks surprised at first, then either horror or complete and utter shock comes across his face, and then turning to his left pointing behind you to your right, speaking as he points "alevok" as you turn to look, what can only be described as a large covered wagon appears out of no where, when you turn back the merchant has sat down and does not look well, but speaks under his breath -listen check dc 20 (forgive me.)

[YoFizz]

Thorarak finds his way over to Derf this time more careful with his words.

"Hello, I am looking for a person named Derf. I am about to purchase a Griffon and I was told this Derf would be able to train it for me."

[Tallytrev813]

Faith watches as the Merchant mutters some odd language, and has a sense of some kind of magic...

Faith is not entirely certain that the shopkeeper or any potential wielder of magic could have summoned a wagon, walking around it under it and then from back towards the front inside of it she sees nothing out o f the ordinary until she just happens to look at the seat back portion of the drivers bench, there she notices five runic drawings.
from left to right (Wind, Tree, Mountain, Ocean and a Dragons Head). Th only other odd thing that she notices is the fact that there is no wagon tongue to hitch up horses or anything to.

After looking over the wagon, Faith checks in the back of the wagon for anything back there.

She then looks over the runic drawings, and that there's no Tongue for a horse.

Well, based on my experiences thus far...this is probably no ordinary Wagon...lets check this thing out.

She dismounts Psalm and gets in the drivers sear of the wagon, fiddling around with it to see if the thing drives itself (Based on the lack of Tongue) or if she needs to go buy more parts for it, keeping an eye on the runes on the seat back while she does this.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith examines the runes more closely (OOC: See rolls in OOC thread)

Faith, after examining the Wagon, heads over to collect the party.

First, she approaches Thorarak -
Ho! I need your assistance. The travel Merchant was barganing with me when a random strange wagon appeared outside the shop. Im gathering the party to decide what to do with it...What the heck are you doing over here? I thought you were getting a mount?

[YoFizz]

Thorark greets his partner, "I've seen a beautiful creature and I must have it as a mount, yet, its untrained and I'm trying to get this gentleman to help me out.

Then he turns back to Derf, "You know, I heard that anyone who can train a Griffon is a very impressive person. I also heard that she would marry the next man who could prove they could tame her like they would a Griffon... so if you tame this beast I'm sure she would marry you."

A Griffon! Angel of Justice! Those are -FINE- steeds indeed! Volatile, but powerful and majestic!

I, Myself, pray to Tyr for a Pegasus one day - but surely a Griffon would be my second choice!

Faith turns to the large man, Fred, who has been speaking with Thor.

My good sir, my friend and I are on a very important journey. He has already purchased this Griffon, perhaps you could find it in your heart to train said Griffon to aid us. He has noble intentions, i assure you.

In exchange, i will speak to this stable girl. I cannot guarantee she will marry you, but i can promise i will speak to her on the subject, and i can be a very convincing woman.

Persuasion - [roll0]

[samduke]

Derf almost immediatly on hearing
she would marry the next man who could prove they could tame her like they would a Griffon... so if you tame this beast I'm sure she would marry you
stops what he was doing listens to faith walks over to Thor picks Thor up by the back of his armor, walks to the stables carring thor, walking inside looks at the stable lady and then hangs Thor up on a peg by his armor.
"Watch me train this magnificent animal my true love for like it I shall win your heart!"
Derf walks to the griffin stable, opens the stable gate, talks in an odd language to the beast, punches the beast in the head, then points at Thor and talks some more , then repeats this process three more times.
Derf walks back over to the stable lady actually getting down on his knee, "My love I have proven myself, I wish you to be mine"
the stable lady tells Derf go an fetch me my flower boutique, I require only the rarest of flowers you must fetch me 12 unique ones before I marry you. now be off with you." and with that Derf leaves.
Thor still stuck on a peg is looking down at a griffon that is looking up at him, then standing on its hind legs it reaches up sniffs Thor, and with its razor sharp beak picks thor up and places thor on its back. "Hey you " you owe me 3,500 gp for that animal the stable lady seems rather angry.

Faith turns to the woman,
Perhaps we can make a deal, My friend here owes you 3,500 gp for this Griffon, but I ask you...how much gold do you stand to make now that we've brought you two together?
Faith points to Derf,
He is clearly a master animal trainer - notice how quickly he trained the great Griffon for my friend... Faith points at Thorarak riding atop a great Griffon.
Originally your business was simply selling Mounts. Imagine the price increases now that the trainer of your mounts will likely work for you...for free.
Surely, you stand to make 125% on every mount you sell...at least...with training included.

It seems more than likely that this will superseded the 3,500 gp owed! Perhaps you will take this in to account?

I accidentally broke it on an edit, but it was a poor roll, i failed unless somehow my logic was SO good that a 10 convinced her

[samduke]

"The price was set and already agreed to by your friend there, the griffin, a animal saddle, a harness, for 3500 if he went and got the trainer, as for Derf I would sooner marry a swine, the quest I gave him should last 60 years easy, maybe in my old age I could love the oaf.. now was there anything else you folks need?"

So be it...

Faith looks at Thor, who appears mostly adept atop his Griffon.
Pay the lady as agreed upon, such is Justice. Then, come with me to look at this Wagon. Something's not quite right about it.

[YoFizz]

”of course of course. Never my intention to not pay. I will gladly pay the price you gave me. Thank you for all your trouble. I don’t imagine this beautiful beast has a name already?”

[Tallytrev813]

”of course of course. Never my intention to not pay. I will gladly pay the price you gave me. Thank you for all your trouble. I don’t imagine this beautiful beast has a name already?”

Faith motions to the Wagon, and begins to trot over...

Look at this thing, it appeared out of no where...It's got these runes on the seat back. I recognize them, in our Library of the Faithful, when i was learning the ways of Tyr's justice, there were books on great injustice and evil-doers. You see...this wind, it symbolizes Air, the Tree - earth...the mountain - cold, the ocean, water - and the Dragons head....fire. The combination is used in ancient religious text to refer to...Tiamat, the Dragon Queen...the Chromatic One.

I'm not sure we shouldn't leave this wagon be, accepting gifts from the Dragon Queen does not bode well for those noted in the Religious texts...

[YoFizz]

"I'd sooner die than accent a gift from that scaley wench!"

[tallian]

"I would rather walk to the moon on shards of glass."

[Tallytrev813]

It sounds like we agree, the Wagon stays. In that case, are we all prepared to begin out trek out of the city?

Faith Pats herself down, judging her gear and her ability to carry things.

I think i should be good to simply ride Psalm, here, with no Wagon. Do we think we need any other supplies?

[YoFizz]

"I am satisfied and ready to ride."
Thorark never looked happier than on his new Griffon.

The Adventure Begins.
Traveling out of the city north east with the duntide river near the land is fairly flat with little more than four foot tall grasses.
Travel is reasonable and easy going for the first four days, without much hint of anything but blue sky's and a fair wind.

Having caught up with the rest of the group in the market, Kirin has spent the last few days getting to know them slightly. He has shared little about himself, but kept an attentive ear on the group should they have had anything to say. At times, he has run off ahead to scout, and met up with them again shortly thereafter, blending into his surroundings such that he practically disappears into the grasses. As the rain begins, he turns the hood up on his cloak, hiding his face and if anything blending in even more with his surroundings. With the weather turning gray, Kirin becomes even more quiet.

Perception [roll0] [EDIT: aaaauuuuuuugh so close]

It matters to me to know when the rain qualifies as 'heavy rain', as well as when it is overcast enough to be considered 'dim light'.

Mostly due to the height of the grasses and the approaching storm you fail to see a small group closing in until it is almost to late.

Thor: DC 11 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become Frightened

[YoFizz]

Wisdom Save [roll0]

[YoFizz]

”Turn back you undead creeps!” Thorark raises his holy symbol on his shield to the sky and white holy light shines down onto it reflecting toward the mummies.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

(Ooc if any are CR1 or under see below)

Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table.
“I turn em you burn em boys. One at a time!”

[The Kool]

...your enemy is 90ft to the south east...
Mummy Actions
dash action 40ft...
By this math, the mummy is 50ft away, all others are 90ft away. Assuming you move forward, you could catch the mummy, but not any of the others. Just FYI.
Kirin immediately springs into motion, moving back and to the side to get a clear line of shot on the approaching undead and increase the distance. He drops his staff and pulls his bow out from over his back, whispering a brief prayer to the string as he knocks an arrow and lets one fly, then another. "Fly true, my friends!"

Moving 60ft back and slightly to the side. Distance should now be 110 from the mummy and 150 from the others. Firing two shots at the mummy, who is still within normal range of my longbow.
[roll0] to hit, [roll1] magical piercing damage.

[tallian]

Terfel jumps at the sight of the approaching undead. It doesn't take him long to recover and he spurs his mount on, galloping to the south west to get a clear line of sight.

His bow appears in his hand and he sends a volley of arrows arcing towards the zombies.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith, having seen this fiendish creature striking at Kirin, begins dashing at the creature

Once per turn, my steed may take an independent action of Dash, Disengage, or Dodge.

Psalm takes the Dash action, movement is 120 ft for this round


Faith halts 10 feet in front of the monster, raises her spear up to the sky - Psalm rears up in the air...Faith begins to speak, voice booming,
CREATURE! You shall regret the day you acted against us, this I VOW. PREPARE YOURSELF!


Vow of Enmity
As a bonus action, you can utter a vow of enmity against a creature you can see within 10 feet of you, using your Channel Divinity. You gain advantage on attack rolls against the creature for 1 minute or until it drops to 0 hit points or falls unconscious.


She, atop Psalm, rides at the creature. A golden haze surrounds her as she lets out a battle cry, taking two thrusting-stabbing motion with her spear - now shimmering gold.

The cursed target can't regain Hit Points, and its hit point maximum decreases by [roll3] for every 24 hours that elapse.
If the curse reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies, and its body turns to dust.
The curse lasts until removed by the Remove Curse spell or other magic.

[The Kool]

Changing focus, Kirin realizes that the only one who can currently attack him at such long range is the Beholder thing, so he turns his arrows on that monstrosity. With any luck, he'll take out an eye...

Since 150ft is the normal range for my longbow, and the Beholder is near the edge of that range, I'll only back up far enough to be at the edge of that range, the rest of the 60ft movement will be to one side or the other, whichever has better line of sight.

Faith stands above the Beholder Zombie, and spits on the ground.
Tyr's justice be served, abominations.

She dismounts Psalm, and takes a closer look at the fallen foes.

Loots corpse, jic theres anything on these things

Hmfh, whatever they are - they appear to be spawns of evil. Thus, they have been smote.

Faith places her hands on her upper abdomen, her hands begin to glow a golden hue. You feel a slight warmth emanating from her, and you watch as her wounds from the battle...close.


x31 points, to full health

Remaining: 9/40 points

[samduke]

the rest of your travel to womham is rather uneventful
Womham a smaill city or large village, rather humble looking buildings with people going about their daily business

[Tallytrev813]

Faith trots into town atop Psalm, she begins seeking...

A supply shop where he can restock rations and horse feed
an Inn where she can ask about the goings on in the town, and perhaps, a drink
And finally, any way to make some coin.

[samduke]

Womham population less than 1,000
the party finds the only tavern/inn, a place that sells various supplies, a smithy, townhall, several homes & farms
Faith asks around about the goings on in the town, the people are more or less friendly. you learn there is not a whole lot going on in town and you are the second large group of outsiders to have come through town in the last week.

The tavern/inn is the only place to get a drink, a hot meal and a room
You learn there are no job openings nor anyone looking to hire someone for odd tasks.

[The Kool]

Kirin will ask about the other large group that came through

[Tallytrev813]

Based on the travel plan, the next trip is 12 days - so Faith purchases 10 days worth of Rations/Horse feed, then rejoins the group - inquiring about the other group

[samduke]

the other large group that recently came through was a company of 13 dwarves a halfling and a human, rather interesting lot not sure what they were upto they were only in town long enough to resupply and then they were off again.

We heard the old man (human) say something about meeting the rest of them near riftcrag its north west of here. and he went west.

[tallian]

Tercel trots into town and immediately heads to the inn.

He scans the patrons, looking for any group that could be watchmen, though a town this size may not have any. A close second choice would be field labourers.

Buying a flagon of ale Terfel sits down at their table and offers a drink. “Long ride up here.” He comments, exchanging a few other pleasantries before merging into the background a listing for the useful information among the griping and complaining.

Thank you for taking a moment to speak with me, may Tyr smile down upon you. Faith tosses the passer-by a silver piece.

She turns to her companions, Shall we continue on our trek? The next journey looks a little longer - 12 days if i remember correctly. I'd stock up.

Faith pulls her Alchemy jug out, and opens the lid. She pours 1/2 an ounce of poison out of the jug into one of the Vials she brought along. She stashes the vial in her backpack. Next she takes out her Decanter of Endless Water, Here, i shall fill our water skins.

[YoFizz]

Thorarak saunters up to the barkeep in the inn. ”hi there. Is there a place I could buy a couple weeks of rations? Would you be able to fix that up for me?”

[samduke]

[YoFizz]

"eh. too big a gamble for me. I ain't paying that price, could be dirty water for all I know."

Kirin will keep mostly to himself, but will also purchase 10 rations, to replace what he has gone through and last a little further.

Kirin enjoys the sunshine and the forest, attempting some hunting while near it. He successfully manages some small game on four of the eight days, alleviating the need for rations on those days.

When the sound approaches from the forest, Kirin attempts to identify it, whilst approaching and moving to the side to not be in the direct path of the sound. His goal is to reach the trees and get a good look at it before it reaches the traveling party.

Kirin gives a low quick whistle to catch the group's attention. "Elk, southeast, headed this way." With that, he sprints for the trees, pulling out his bow as he runs.

I can provide larger and smaller grids on request. Only takes a few moments. To edit, quote the most recent map and make your adjustments in WYSIWYG mode.
KNOWN ISSUE: Will eat the column width declaration on some columns when you flip back and forth from WYSIWYG mode. I advise that once you've updated the map, you flip back to code editing mode, it's easy to copy/paste it in as it'll be right at the top. Another known issue is that the 'header' row is lowercase, and refuses to be uppercase. I don't know why either of these happen.

[Tallytrev813]

Faith, seeing Kirin taking off to the woods with a whistle, follows.

”Now? Okay.”

Thorark waves his hands and banished the bear.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/banishment
You attempt to send one creature that you can see within range to another plane of existence. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished.

If the target is native to the plane of existence you're on, you banish the target to a harmless demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated. The target remains there until the spell ends, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

If the target is native to a different plane of existence than the one you're on, the target is banished with a faint popping noise, returning to its home plane. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn't return.

[The Kool]

Kirin fires off several more shots at the bear before the banishment attempt.

Not moving.
Action for last turn: attack the bear twice
Action for this turn: attack the bear twice
No bonus actions

There's more I might do/say, but it depends on whether the bear vanishes or not.

"I can buy us some time!" Kirin calls to his companions. "I can shroud it in darkness!" As he speaks, he begins flying toward it, and mutters a few words, withdrawing one of his throwing knives from it's hiding place and casting a spell over it. He then slides it into his pocket as the spell completes, keeping the darkness contained for the moment.

Move: Fly to T-14, staying about 30ft in the air
Action: Cast Darkness on one of my 'darts', spending 2 ki
Bonus: none

AC 18, HP 80, Ki 5

Note: Shadow Arts lets me cast the listed spells "without providing material components".
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (bat fur and a drop of pitch or piece of coal)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it.

If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.

If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.

[Tallytrev813]

With the bear distracted, Faith takes a moment to tend to her wounds. She was pretty severely injured in her recent bout with the bear - clearly she had underestimated her foe.

Faith reaches to the sky, a bright ray of sunshine shines down on her. She places her hands over her wounds - her hands begin to glow a golden hue. Her wounds magically heal...partially. Though she still appears wounded, her injuries have improved significantly.


Cast: Lay on Hands
40/40 points
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level x 5.
As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points
to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.
Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.
This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.

Using all 40 points.


She turns her attention back to the Dire Bear...
