Raam: The City of Anarchy IC

[RandomWombat]

OOC Thread (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?614351-Raam-The-City-of-Anarchy-OOC)

Drifts of sand from the dunes beyond are carried into the Ghost City, building up against the northfacing walls of buildings. A steady southward wind that hasn't let up all day. Empty streets that seem forgotten make the slums suit their name. On any other day the outcastes would be scrounging for what food and water they can get, but today the smell of trouble comes on the wind.

The Unreliable Kank. An unimpressive name worn by an unimpressive bunkhouse. The sandstone building is a squat, rectangular lump growing out of the dusty ground. The door, made of thin, cheap wood sports a few ragged holes and scarcely boasts a lock. With a door a halfling could kick down, why bother?


Faldar and his retainers have come to this place, a bunkhouse loosely called an inn by some. Often the first stop of mercenaries and vagabonds passing into the city. Few such individuals find their way out. According to House Lufi's informants on the city's fringes, a new group of hopeful brigands has arrived and is looking for opportunity. Opportunity the noble houses could give. More importantly, House Lufi wishes to scoop them up before Vespos gets its claws into them. All the power and personnel in the hands of one part of an alliance seldom lends power to the voices of the rest.

With their wagon and its dutiful kank trundling along behind them, they arrive outside the withered wooden door.


The selfsame band of elven brigands finds themselves lounging around the sparsely furnished bunkhouse. The main room features a few sandstone benches, a single rocking chair, and two rows of four creaky cots with ratty blankets for mattresses. It is run by Kev, a human man with short, dark, curly hair. He's seated on one of the benches, leaning back against the wall and contemplating a broom with which he might sweep up some of the sand that's blown in under the door, if he could be so bothered.

Besides Zantos and his comrades, and of course good Kev, there are only two other people in the bunkhouse. Both are, like Kev, permanent residents of the squalid little piece of respite from the sun.

There's Denver, a human butcher, works out of the kitchen attached to the building. His meals are not complimentary, except perhaps to Kev in return for the space. He operates out of the back of the bunkhouse, where on a less windy day he would be peddling salted meat and dried jerkies.

Then there's Whilma, an old elf. A sad sight to behold, her legs misshapen and crippled by old wounds long since healed, but never healed well. Unable to run with the wind any longer, she sits in her rickety rocking chair carving things from wood that others bring her to work for them. Walking sticks, clubs, arrows, spears. Right now she whittles away at what may be the head of a wooden spear, or a smaller wooden shiv.


Not far from the bunkhouse, three mysterious figures lead their newest batch of converts back towards the city proper. A group of outcastes, those the city cast aside and refused to accept. The ideal candidates to submit to the promises of a new order, an order in which they can have the place they never did before. Three humans, unremarkable and carrying little in the way of protection, trail behind Lazaar and his subordinates. Two men and a woman.

All that remains is to escort the converts back to the territory of the faithful, in the northwestern part of Raam. It is not a distant destination from the Ghost City. Their route takes them past the local bunkhouse, where new gloryseekers pass through to meet their fate in the City of Anarchy.

Like always, Zantos tries to lighten the mood in the dreary room. He is animatedly telling Whilma the story of how they found Jiro dying in the desert, using small illusions to illustrate his points for dramatic effect. He includes a few facts that are embarrassing for Jiro but some that make him out to be capable and powerful. The old woman even cracks a small smile at a few of his funnier moments.

"...and then, Jiro and Qaba rush in, killing my captor and freeing me from the torture."

Jiro is sitting on a chair, reading his book while only half listening to his boss. he's heard this story a dozen times before. He tolerates the embarrassing parts of the story, partly because they are true. He had no business running through the desert on his own back then. But mostly because he knows how much Zantos respects him now.

"Nice job Zantos. Much better use of the music to set the mood this time."

Qaba barely listens to the story, only nodding in agreement when Zantos calls him out specifically. He had already asked Kev about any potential work, but was having trouble with the answer, "Just stay here and work will find you." He thinks that's just Kev trying to get a few more nights rent out of them. He's wondering if they should just get some supplies and go back to the desert. But Zantos wants to explore the city and see if we can make something more of ourselves.

"You are a good sport, Jiro. I'm not sure I'd put up with him like that."

Slowly, Faldar and his crew made there way through the Ghostcity. Faldar clearly leads the group, wearing nicely decorated leather armor and nice sylk pants. In contrast Bontar wears only a loincloth and some leather straps which tie his belongings to his back. The most obvious part of his attire is his heavy stone maul which he rests on his muscled shoulders. Ptekme the tri-khreen follows two steps behind them, next to the kank.

"You know Bontar, everytime I come here, it amazes me that there are actually people living here. I can't imagine how desperate they must be to stay."

Bontar shrugs. Clearly he doesn't think much of it.

"Hmmpf, I've seen worse. Although not by much. Better keep your eyes open. Desperate people find desperate ways to make a living." With that he swings his maul around, before resting it back on his shoulder.

When they reach the bunkhouse, Faldar holds.

"Halt, this is where the elf mercs should be staying. Let's hope they are still here. We're not the only one currently looking to recruit.
Ptekme, you wait outside. Bontar, let's go inside. Hopefully they are in better shape then the last bunch. We need some good men."

With those words he walks to the door.

The older woman sits in her rocking chair, working on her whittling while Zantos tells his story. A small smile creeps onto her face hearing their banter and the stories of their adventures. "How daring they must have been coming to the rescue." Her ears twitch and her head lifts up, carving knife stopping. Moments later the ragged door creaks open, revealing a well-dressed man who looks very out of place in such a run-down quarter, accompanied by a more local-looking dwarven thug.

Kev watches more sand roll in through the open door and apathetically lays the broom up against the wall beside him. Faldar recognizes the House's informant from his description. "Welcome to the Unreliable Kank," the tired-sounding man announces with all the enthusiasm of the titular lazy bug. "Looks like work's here," he says to the group of elves.

Faldar smiles as het enters the room, recognizing the man as was described to him. "Aah, you must be Kev. Quite a fine .... lowkey place you got here." Faldar says, failing to come up with any real compliment on the establishment. His clothes look nice, if a bit dusty. And he doesn't have any arms visible on him, except for a simple dagger in his waste band. His posture shows an open and friendly character. Bontar on the other hand looks a lot more serious. He puts his maul on the ground and rests his hands on the upright handle, while scanning the man and the elves for any danger. He seems poised to spring into action, if needed.

Realising that Kev is probably not so much interested in small talk, Faldar turns to the elves and gives them a friendly nod.
"So, one of you must be Zantos, I assume? My name is Faldar, a member of the Lufi family of which you may have heard. And I come here representing my family. I heard you were in town, and was hoping that you were looking for work?"

Zantos is surprised that someone would ask for him by name. While he calls himself a pirate, he's just a desert bandit. They have hit up a few merchant caravans from Raam recently so maybe his reputation precedes him. Maybe that's not a good thing here. Anyway, it's showtime.

"I am Zantos, Pirate of the Desert!" he says cheerfully before waving his hand dramatically towards his friends, "and these are my esteemed associates, Qaba and Jiro. We are indeed looking for work, but what does the Lufi family want with a trio of elves? What kind of work do you have for us?"

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Faldar. My name is Jiro. I am one of Zantos' crew. Over there is Qaba, the other member of the crew."

Qaba nods quietly when his name is mentioned, "Good afternoon" he says curtly before returning to checking his equipment. Like always, he lets Zantos do the talking, but he quietly studies the newcomers to make sure his boss doesn't get them involved in something he shouldn't.

[RandomWombat]

Kev weakly sighs out an "Eh," at Faldar's attempt at a compliment. "Nobody cares to rob a dump. And that's fine by me." Getting up to allow his clients to talk business, he picks up his broom and drags it behind him into another room to pretend to do some sweeping.

Sitting in her chair, the elderly elf points out what may or may not be obvious, "I'm not with them." She says it with a hint of gallows humor, looking down at her crooked old legs. Finishing her work on the wooden shiv, she tests the point with a finger. It doesn't quite draw blood, so she takes out a stone file and starts sharpening the tip.

Bontar just nods politely to each of the elves as they introduce themselves. He seems to relax a little, shown by shifting his attention from the group to studying the bunkhouse and the elven woman working on a shiv.

Faldar eyes up the group, seemingly pleased with what he sees.

"Ah pleasure to meet you, Zantos. And of course you as well, Jiro and Qaba. My friend's name here is Bontar, he is my personal bodyguard."

After which he makes quick eye contact with Bontar. But seeying no immediate concerns on his face he continues.

"Zantos the pirate. I have not heard that title before. Or spoken so proudly, for that matter. If you are looking to make a name in this city, you've come at the right time. Plenty of opportunity with the current situation."

"Anyway, the current situation in Raam means that my family is .... very busy, while at the same time it has become a lot less safe. So we are looking for people who can handle themselves and can be trusted. At least when they are on our payroll. Now you look like you can handle yourselves. So if your trust doesn't make us go bankrupt, I'll gladly have ya. We have a wagon outside to bring your stuff."

Zantos knows that negotiating a price right here would be petty. He trusts that this noble will pay well and if he doesn't, then his crew is no worse off than they were 10 minutes ago. As always he looks to Qaba before accepting an offer. Seeing his friend give a subtle nod, Zantos smiles again.

"We accept your offer. We will come with you into the city and help defend your family." He then turns to the old elf, kissing her hand like he is wooing a princess and says goodbye, "Mistress Whilma, it has been a pleasure talking with you today. I hope we meet again in the future."

"Excellent, let's go then. Oh, outside is my other companion. His name is Ptekme and while he understands common, he only speaks his own language, tri-khreen. "

Faldar and Bontar wait for the man to pack their staff after which Faldar goes outside. Bontar waits untill the elves have left, after which he tosses a small pouch to Kev.

"Good work signaling us, in case anybody asks, they left again." After which Bontar also leaves.

The three messengers maneuvered under the crimson sun with their native indifference to the heat. They made little concessions for the scaleless Watchers in tow. “Only the strong would stand in the Day of Light,” as Qoheleth quoted often from the Wisdom of the prophets.

The Vicar of Dust contrasted from the other two dray in their finery. Where Greven and Lazaar’s voluminous robes bore noble colors and bolts of silk to veil their heads, the priest wore silt-crusted scales flayed from the erdlu over his wind-worn brown robes. He also possessed a shield of lacquered wood with the sign of the Grey.

Lazaar whispered to Greven, ”A pack of sellswords appears to be emerging from the bunkhouse. Their assets would enrich ours.”

Greven answered in his shared-mind speech, ”I will entreat them, Sorcerer.”

Greven advanced with Qoheleth, who instinctively kept stride with the other. The lithe, shrouded messenger proclaimed, ”Well met, travelers! The Day smiles upon us. Your steps seem to bear you on a shared journey.”

While exiting the building Faldar looks around, searching for Ptekme. He startled a bit when the tri-khreen stood up only several feet away. The tri-khreen had found a little bit of shade and was keeping an eye on the surroundings from there. It still amazed Faldar each time how easy the tri-khreen could fade away if he wanted to. But with Ptekme still outside and the Kank still waiting, no problems seem to be present.

While loading the wagon, a small group approached, which greets them. Neither Bontar or Ptekme seem alarmed as the three leading the group seem are well dressed. Definitely not the kind of trouble they'd expect to find in these parts.

"Thank you, it's good to meet you as well. As we are indeed returning to some more civilized parts, you're welcome to join us. We've got room for 1 or 2 on the wagon if needed. May I know your names?"

Qoheleth studied the assembled mercenaries. The dunestriders were easiest to discern; the elves and his profession crossed each others paths like the currents in the Sea. The others mingled their kinds like a storm, as different as the citizens of Raam. He paused his search on the thri-kreen. He mused inwardly, "These are like dust on the wind: They move to speak, but the uninitiated do not discern its message."

Whilma chuckles lightly to herself as Zantos kisses her hand so formally. Thank you for the stories, young one. I could almost feel the wind again... or that could just be the draft. She pats him on the hand and nods as he leaves. "May the wind be always at your back."

Despite his apathetic aura, Kev swiftly catches the pouch Bontar passes his way. He winks at the dwarf as he leaves to join his boss' entourage outside.


The three citizens follow closely behind the robed figures, often checking corners and alleys as they advance. When they're pointed out to the others coming out of the bunkhouse, they bow their heads. Then one of them looks up.

From the alleyways and eclectic streets of the Ghost City creep some rough-looking types. Clad in loosely bound leathers and bits of yellow cloth, they proudly display the colors of the Korno's Killers. Most of them carry little more than stones in their hands, or bones wielded as clubs.

At the center of their formation is a frightening looking human man who stands out from the rest. Clad in a suit of scale carved from bone, he carries a fearsome bone carrikal resting on one shoulder. The left half of his face is covered in old burns, which from time to time seem to flicker with new sparks like the dying coals of a bonfire.

"Well looky-loo what we have here boys," the scarred gladiator waves his carrikal at the assembled groups in front of them. "Here we go trackin' some fancy moneybags and he leads us to who, but some freaky-preachers tryin' to scam up the Ghostly freefolk." He points at the citizens following the Preachers. "Come now, guys and lady. Y'don't want any o' what they're preaching, not really. Whadda we say to bootlickers boys?" Holding up a hand, he signals the other gangers who all chant back.

"No gods!" they announce, beating their clubs and stones against things to make a loud clanging racket. "No kings!"

The woman 'Watcher' reaches for a bone shiv and motions the others back. "I've heard what these guys do," she tells them. "They pull you in with promises of freedom but it's all just slavework."

As the streets suddenly fill up with seemingly hostile men, Faldar tells the elves. "Seems I will need your services right away. These guys are exactly the sort of problem that has been plaguing the city lately. They call themselves Korno's killers. Be careful though, some of them may have been gladiators."

No gods...

No kings...

As the crowd chants, Faldar moves over to the newcomers, while he addresses their leader. Faldar spreads his hands to encompass the whole group. After which he puts his hands in his pockets to grab a component. "You've collected quite the party there, friend of Korno. And I know your kind has a general hatred for those of us with power. I suggest though, that you let us leave and wait in ambush for those of House Urvus. They should be here in 2 hours and I'm sure you prefer their kind of goods over ours."

Having said those words, Faldar waits and steels himself for what may come.

Casting a suggestion spell with the last two lines of text. The movement should bring him within 30 ft of their leader, whom he casts it on.
DC 14 wisdom saving throw. Took the liberty of moving my guys in roll20 to show what I intended.

[RandomWombat]

Faldar's words resonate with a certain gravitas, a weight behind them that makes the leader of the gangers scratch his chin with his free hand. Then his clouded eyes narrow and grow sharper once again. The white, blinded eye on the burnt side of his face glows with blue flames that flicker and lick across the side of his head. "I was just gonna kill ye, twinkletoes. After that mind trick, I'm thinkin' you'll look mighty good roasting alive on a spit." As he speaks his friendly and even silly tone shifts into a vicious hiss.

Taking his hostile words as a signal, the ragtag band of rabble starts to lift up their weapons and advance. Their leader hangs back, taking stock of how the groups react before he acts.

Old Crispy got a 16, resisting the suggestion.

Time for the first initiative. If things go too slowly we'll try out block initiative, but for now I'll only be lumping enemy goons of the same type into batches.

Crispy - 6

Conditions: --

Zantos knows two things. First, the gang seems more concerned with the nobles and the priests than with lowly elves, so his crew could likely just move around the corner, walk away and find safer employment. Second, if the noble and the prophet join the fray, we at least have about even numbers, but Zantos was never concerned with exact math. He chooses the second option thinking it will be more interesting and that he might be able to make a good impression on his new employer. He shakes off Qaba's hand on his shoulder and moves up in front of Greven and Bontar, taunting the leader as he approaches, and drawing his scimitar when he gets close. A brief glow covers his skin before disappearing.

"Are you as dumb as you are ugly? These urchins you have around you won't be able to protect you from someone who knows what they are doing. Why are you hiding behind them anyway, tough guy?"

Initiative [roll0]

He casts Armor of Agathys, giving himself 10 temporary hit points. If someone hits him with a melee attack, they take 10HP of damage until my THP are gone.

Qaba tries to hold back his boss, knowing the smarter move is to walk away from this job and look for another one. When Zantos pulls away though, he lets him go.

"Damnit. This is a bad idea, boss." he mutters to himself, likely not loud enough for even Zantos to hear. He then steps back and looks down the street to make sure no one is coming behind him. As Zantos moves to the front, Qaba takes quick aim and fires an arrow at Crispy.

After frowning for a second on the weird suggestion coming from his master, Bontar focuses back on the group before him as the burned man speaks up again. His fist grip his heavy maul tightly as the man first threatens Faldar and then insults him. Rage boils up inside him as he moves towards the nearest enemy, not caring to meet a member of his own race on the battlefield. "Wraaaaghh!!" He raises his maul high, before bringing it down on the dwarf.

Ptekme has seen this before. Bontar going into a rage is always a sight to behold. It always makes Ptekme wonder why Bontar is a bodyguard, while in battle he tends to forget about Faldar when angered. Ptekme recognises the danger and moves up a bit and get's ready to dodge incoming blows.

At the same time, Faldar grins a bit at Bontar's anger, telling himself that Bontar is more then just a deterrent. He keeps an eye on him, while throwing an psionic blast in the direction of the burned man.

[RandomWombat]

Without hesitation, Bontar charges forwards and brings his maul down upon the opposing dwarf. His crude chitin armor crunches under the weight of the stone hammer and he's sent sprawling onto the ground with a gasp of air.

The ground beneath the cluster of brigands darkens and greys into a sickly ash. Lashes of webbing launch up from beneath their feet, grabbing onto their arms and faces. The dwarf and one of the humans twist out of the webbing before it can catch, while the other two are caught and held fast.
At a word and a wave of the hand from Greven, the dwarf falls over into the webs, which cradle him as he sleeps.

The human one who avoided the webbing rushes out, rushing past the civilians and swinging his club at the thri-kreen. Ptekme feels the blunt instrument slam into his side and everyone can hear a crack. A second one rushes Zantos as he steps forward, but swings short and is easily sidestepped.

One of the humans trapped in the web manages to wriggle out and moves to help his friend who is still stuck. "They're wizards! Bloody noble leeches!"


An arrow whistles through the air and slices through the air next to the burnt ganger's head, flicking off a bead of sweat. A second later, a warbling blast of psionic energy impacts him in the chest and nearly knocks him off his feet. "By the Flame, we need more men!"

Before he can call off the attack properly, the mul charges at Bontar with his two clubs. He shouts something in Raamite. Two swings of his weapons go wide as Bontar sweeps them aside.

"You bastard! Get off of Eluk!"

The sight of his men falling apart so quickly, and the impact of the blast in his chest, leaves 'Crispy' with a face contorted in rage. "You will rue this day!" With those words, he waves his hand at his feet and they ignite with flames. Turning, he skates across the barren ground as if it were slick obsidian glass, speeding away, sliding around the corner of a building and out of sight.

One of the new Watchers is already long gone, having run off when the fighting broke out. He would not have lasted anyways. The woman takes her shiv and rushes the human trying to fish his friend out of the net, swinging at him. He catches her arm with his own and shoves it away. The last of the three grabs the thug attacking Ptemke from behind, but his elbowed in the nose and staggers backwards, losing his grip.

Bontar strikes a Dwarf Rabble for 15 damage, knocking them unconscious.
Lazaar casts Web, Defiling cancels the Barren environment penalty. Two Human Rabble fail their saves.
The Defiling area inflicts the group with Exhaustion, plus additional Exhaustion while they remain inside.

A Killers Ganger rushes Zantos before he can get his spell up, but misses his attack.
A Killers Ganger rushes Ptekme before he can execute his Dodge, hitting for 6 damage. He is Bloodied.

Greven casts Sleep. The Dwarven Rabble in the target area falls asleep, but soaks up too much for the remaining humans to be affected.
Jiro casts Bless on the elves.

A Human Rabble attempts to escape the webbing, and succeeds despite Disadvantage from exhaustion.
A Human Rabble attempts to escape, but remains stuck.

Qaba hits Crispy, dealing 12 damage.
Faldar hits Crispy, dealing 7 force damage. He is Bloodied.
Ptekme performs a Dodge.

Dwarf Rabble are all unconscious, for varying reasons.
Mul Rabble rages and attacks Bontar twice, but misses both times.

Bontar's hammer swings upwards, whipping past the mul in front of him, who leans back. The stone of the maul scrapes the front of his nose, shaving off some skin. Three black missiles launch from behind the group and impact some of their foes, knocking them off balance. The ground around the unconscious dwarf withers and blackens as he struggles to breath.

The gangers stubbornly continue fighting for a moment, one taking a swing at Zantos and missing for the second time. The other tries to finish off the Kreen, but Ptemke sees the attack coming this time and is able to get out of the way.

"Follow me, you idiots!" Crispy's voice echoes from the direction he ran. The remaining Killers look back after him and start to try and pull back, with the exception of the raging mul who continues to recklessly go after Bontar.

"Let's go!" one of the two poorly equipped humans grabs his friend and tugs him from the web as they both make a run for it. The Watcher girl takes a stab at the back of the one taking up the rear, tearing his shirt, but drawing no blood. He stumbles forwards and nearly falls, struggling to keep up with his buddy.

As the gang tries to break off, two arrows fly. One sails straight past the melee, while the other impacts the ganger fighting Zantos directly in his back. The man falls to his knees and gasps as a jolt of shock runs through his body, falling forward and landing face first into the dirt. His legs fly up in the air, sending bits of oily black liquid flicking into the air.

Qoheleth uses the Curse of Black Sands on a ganger. From Lazaar's action, I'm guessing the one next to Zantos.
Bontar strikes the Mul Rabble for 6 damage after resistance.
Lazaar Magic Missiles the unmarked ganger and two others. I roll the damage for magic missiles separately, so I rolled the other two for him. The Dwarf Rabble gains a failed death save. The Ganger takes 4 damage. And the Human Rabble takes 2.

The marked Ganger next to Zantos takes a swing at him, but misses.
The unmarked Ganger next to Ptemka takes a swing at him, but misses.

Greven casts Ghost Sound.
Jiro fires at the marked Ganger, but misses.

A Human Rabble attempts to escape the webs, and manages to break free. He starts to flee, but doesn't get very far yet due to the webs and Exhaustion. Civilian takes an AoO, hitting him for 3 damage.
A Human Rabble flees, disappearing behind a building.

Faldar watches in amazement as magic is used in abundance by the robed men. It distracts Ptekme is slow to react to the dangerous ganger next him and gets hit as a result. Het lets out some thri-kreen curse. "TJIKJIK CLA!!"

Curse you, creature!

Then Faldar snaps back to what is happening and blasts the ganger that hit Ptekme. After which he moves next to him to distract him, while healing Ptekme's wounds a little. "You think you're tougher than your boss? .. Really?"

Ptekme nods at his boss coming to his rescue. And uses Faldar's diversion to strike at an opening left by the ganger.

Qoheleth watched his marked prey fall and then barked tersely, "Stand opposite the 'kreen to strengthen each other."

He then stretched his hand toward the human rabble fleeing, cursing his steps, "The land loathes the touch of your feet. The Grey claim you!"

He finally fixed his gaze upon the down ganger and commanded, "The silt thirsts for your blood elsewhere. Flee to your master."

Faldar arrives at Ptemke's side, patching up the worst of his wounds. The cracks in his shell mend together, knitting like cloth. The blast of psionic force flies past the man as he sidesteps Ptemke's claw swipe. He doesn't expect the follow-up however, and the second claw rakes across his chest leaving a bright red mark that leaks down. "****! The claws- the claws aren't poisonous right, just the teeth?"

While the man panicks, the lady Watcher comes back, circling around the eerie ashen ground and tosses her friend the bone shank she had. "Catch!" He snatches the weapon out of the air and drives it into the ganger's back. Pressing all his weight down on the larger man, he topples him to the ground, pulling out his weapon and leaving the foe to bleed.

No one answers the man, too busy with their own flight from danger. All save for the mul, who roars in defiance and raises both clubs, bringing them down upon Bontar. He's just able to shield his head from the blow, but the two clubs drive his arm into his face, leaving him with a bloodied nose and two rapidly darkening bruises across the forearm.

"You will break first!" the mul roars.

Zantos takes advantage of the mul's relentless focus on Bontar, and slashes across the mul's side with his scimitar. The driven warrior doesn't even seem to register the pain, spinning in Zantos' direction and snarling like a wild beast through bloody teeth. The man at Zantos' feet gasps and jolts to a sitting position, quickly trying to back away, but losing his grip.

The human struggling away, still trailing webbing, starts to leave blackened footprints in his wake, not even noticing in his hurry to get away.

Faldar attempts to blast Human Ganger, but misses.
Faldar heals Ptemke for 3.
Ptemke attacks Human Ganger, but also misses.
Ptemke attacks a second time. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think the offhand attack has a lower hit modifier, just damage. So that would be a 14 and a hit for 2 damage. Since it's the only attack that hit, I'll also add his sneak attack damage of 3. The Ganger is left Bloodied.

Mul Rabble attacks Bontar twice, hitting for 10 and 8 damage. These are both halved, leaving only 9 damage, and Bontar Bloodied instead of KO'd.

Zantos strikes the Mul Rabble for 3 damage after resistance. He is now Bloodied.

Civilian tosses Civilian her bone shiv.
Civilian stabs Human Ganger for 5 damage, knocking him out.

Qoheleth curses the fleeing Human Rabble and brings the marked Human Ganger back in at 5 health and Prone.

"AAAAAGH!!" Bontar screams as he gets hit, although it is unclear whether from pain or from anger, probably both. He swings his maul again, hoping to take out the mul with his maul. He does so by continueing his last upswing into a full loop and redirecting it into a diagonal upswing.

Faldars hears the dwarf and quickly glances over to see what is happening. He focusses on him for a split second, healing him, before he and Ptekme try and finish off the dwarf in the web. Faldar makes several steps before blasting him, after which Ptekme quickly runs over and unleashes a flurry of his claws.

Seeing the dwarf get hit so hard by Mul, Zantos tries to protect his new friend and instead focuses on the Mul Rabble.

He yells at the Mul as he swipes with his scimitar, "Take that!"

Initiative = 6

Likely, he will attack the Mul Rabble that attacked Bontar. However, if the Killers Ganger attacked Zantos, then attack him instead. If he doesn't need to attack those, and he can move without taking an AOO, then he will move (I did not move him on the grid) and try to get into melee with another enemy.

Attack: [roll6] + Bless: [roll7] = 26

Damage: [roll8]

He still has Armor of Agathys, giving himself 10 temporary hit points. If someone hits him with a melee attack, they take 10HP of damage until my THP are gone.

If Killers Ganger or Mul Rabble try to move away without disengaging, he will take an AOO

The furious Mul snags the haft of Bontar's maul with both clubs and flings it out of the way as he attempts to swing. As he winds up to deliver another powerful double blow to the vulnerable dwarf, the tolling of a bell can be heard. The clubs, raised up over his head, fall loosely from his grip as the warrior falls to his knees and clutches his chest. The bell tolls for him.

With the last weak breath before he falls, he reaches towards the fallen dwarf and whispers something only Bontar and Zantos are close enough to hear.

"Father..."

And a quiet thud announces his falling to the ground. Seeing the last bastion of resistance fall, any last will to fight weeps from the ganger next to Zantos. He scurries away, staggering to his feet as he limps as fast as he can from the fight. Inky black footprints trail his path.

The fight is over.

Bontar swings at the Mul Rabble, but misses.
Lazaar casts Toll the Dead, dealing 7 necrotic damage to the Mul Rabble. He is KO'd.

Human Ganger stands up and Disengages, starting to move away.

At this point, all enemies with the ability to fight back are fleeing and marked for tracking. I will end combat and initiative here, unless anyone wishes to finish them off before they can get away.

You may have noticed, but I changed how Heat works. It triggers after combat now instead of every round, since I did some test rolls and realized how easy it is for a character to just drop dead of heatstroke midfight.

Realistic? Maybe. Fun for the players? Not so much.

Only Moranica's characters are actually vulnerable to heat. I rolled their saves and all are still feeling fine right now.

As the immediate threat is gone, Faldar takes a moment to wipe some sweat of his forehead and checks on the wounds of his bodyguards. "Well done, well fought Zantos. I sure am glad we met you before they attacked. We would have been in trouble otherwise. I didn't see you or your companions get hurt, is that right? Should you get hurt, do tell me. I can heal both wounds and other trauma's."

Having found Bontar and Ptekme to be in ok shape, Faldar turns to the robed men.
"I thank your for your help, your magic really helped divide the enemy. And I think it scared the burned one away. I assume you were also the one that marked the one running way? Then you must plan on pursuing this scum. I you don't mind We will accompany you. Such pests cannot be allowed to roam the streets. Even if it is in Ghostcity."

While following the trail Faldar speaks with Bontar and Ptekme. "That could be real Korno's, but they may also have been hired to come after us. Even if it did seem a bit too chaotic for that. Let's keep our eyes open and hope their trail tells us more."

Then Mold Earth to form a symbol of the prophets on the ground as a warning to others.

[RandomWombat]

The dwarf is entombed, the sand still rising and falling with his struggled breathing - until it does not. The Watchers watch the process with some apprehension, but the girl nudges her friend with an elbow. "Right. We're ready," she says, taking up one of the clubs from the gangers alongside her shiv. Her friend slips a normal sized club into the waistband of his trousers and picks up a greatclub from one of the dwarves, hefting it over his shoulder.

With the elves in the lead, they begin tracking down the fleeing Killers. It's an easy, but slow process to keep up with the limping and wounded men.

At the end of the trail, they come to one of the abandoned guard posts that used to mark the edge of the Ghost City along its border with the city proper. There is no true wall, but a barbed fence that has since been taken down at multiple points along its length. Still, the buildings are sturdy and the Killers could have chosen a worse outpost.

The group comes up behind one of the buildings in the compound. The wounded humans are limping to meet with waiting comrades, while Crispy is nowhere outside to be seen. There are two raised guard towers on ladders with dwarves standing watch. One of them ls leaning on his tower and looks to be sweating after a long shift, while the other is fresh.

The two buildings flanking the gate are joined by a raised bridge where a woman in gladiatorial attire stands with an atlatl and a quiver of javelins. Beneath her is the old gate where people would pass into or out of the Ghost City. There are small rectangular windows on the second floors of the buildings, but nobody is visible immediately inside. They look like they were once slots to fit a crossbow through, but none of the Killers seem so equipped.

Alongside the building the group is hidden behind, a female carru is tied to a stone post. A human man is sitting on a stool next to her, extracting fresh milk into a bucket.

As the group halts behind the building Faldar has Ptekme take a look and scout out the place. Ptekme just counts out the number of enemies on his 'fingers' and shows 1 fist, during which he speaks some thr-kreen.

"I see a whole bunch of 'm. There's 6 gladiators, of which 2 are in the 2 guard towers. They are accompanied by 4 weaker guys and some fiery priest. We can't take 'm without the magic users."

"Alright, seems there's quite a number of Korno's there, 10 if I'm correct, and one more dangerous guy. How do you suppose we should do this? And will you and your men help, Emissary?" Faldar asks the men.

In the meantime, Bontar takes the Kank and wagon back a street, trying to find a place where it will be safe for a few moments. "Hmmph, probably no one living near these fanatics anyway", he grumbles.

Zantos chimes in with his addition to the plan,

"We can go around the left side of the building and attack from there. I'll start with a spell to try to take out the group in the middle. Maybe one of you could make some fall asleep again. That worked well last time. Then we unleash a flurry of arrows and spells while Bontar, Ptekme and I charge in from two directions."

On the signal, will cast shatter [roll1] damage in a 10' radius DC 14 CON save for half.

Then use his movement to move towards the nearest enemy. (I haven't made this move yet on the map)

[RandomWombat]

"We were attacked!" the human man in the ragged hood tells the broader man wearing a skull as a helmet. The ganger limps up behind, looking at the ground in the wake of his fellow escapee.

The skull-headed man steps forward and looks at the trail of ink footprints. With a scowl he pulls out a totem of the Flame and a quabone. "You fools. You've been tracked." Looking past them to where their trail leads around the building, the flame cleric points at Lazaar and his retainers creeping out. "There they are. Everyone-" before he can say more, an arrow sails out from his right and sticks him in the side, causing him to gasp and nearly drop his totem. A split second later a second arrow sticks in next to the first, and he collapses.

Everyone nearby begins shouting. A Chatchka sails past the head of one of the psions on the towers as he ducks down, and spins through the air to sail back into Ptemke's waiting claw. The other psion is pulled from his stupor by the panic, and by the bolt of psionic force that whizzes past his head. "They're here! We're under attack!" A javelin flies up and strikes the dwarf in the chest - or rather strikes a rippling psionic barrier on his chest. The barrier flickers and fades, as the javelin loses its inertia and falls to the ground below him.

His shout is punctuated by a deafening boom as a wave of concussive force erupts from the air above the fallen cleric, driving him hard into the ground. Two of the humans next to him are blown up into the air and fall flat on their backs, unmoving, while the third covers his ears and braces himself, just barely withstanding the blast.

The man uncovers his ears just in time to hear an ominous ringing sound. His eyes start to glaze over, but he shakes his head and clears it away in time to see the returning ganger fall over midstride and land snoring on the ground. The man milking the carru falls up against the wall of the house next to him, asleep.

After surviving the blast, the ganger skids forward on his knees and slaps his fallen ally back into consciousness. "Get yourself together! Go wake him up!" he points at the man fallen over by the carru. Scampering to his feet, he runs over and shakes the scrawnier man by his shoulders.

Suddenly, three bolts of dark energy fly out. Two of them impact the two gangers in the chest and they fall over, clutching cracked ribs before falling unconscious. The third missile catches the milk man on the arms as he guards himself, and the ground around him turns a sickly ash color. Pulling his arms down, he unties the carru and points it towards the Prophets, then gives it a slap on the ass. "Yah!"

The startled animal charges forward, nearly trampling Greven. With fear in its eyes, the carru rears up and threatens the other two with its hooves. While it has them busy, the human turns and runs around the corner, skidding to a stop when he comes face to face with an ambush party of elves.


The dwarves on the east flank hear a clank as the lady Watcher accidentally stubs her toe on a bit of loose masonry. Two of them ready the greatclubs over their shoulders and draw closer, forming up to block the flank from being overrun. Behind the, a third dwarf takes out a stonebow and lobs a sling bullet over their heads, grazing Bontar on the shoulder. Seeing all the magic flying around, the dwarf retreats into the nearby building for cover.

Coming out around the corner with her club and shank, the lady makes up for her error. She draws close and, as the ready dwarf swings at her, bats his club away with her own. Then she uses the opening to drive her shank into his shoulder. Her friend comes up next to her and hefts the greatclub he took, but its weight is too unwieldy and the dwarf steps aside.


The dwarf on the west watchtower holds up a solid glass focusing orb and puts a finger to his temple as psi-energy glows in a halo around his head. "Flee," he commands Zantos, at the lead of the elves. But the command fails to take root in Zantos' mind. His counterpart to the east sends a mirrored blast back at Faldor, blowing up at the noble's feet and kicking up some sand.

Jiro shoots the Fire Cleric, dealing 9 damage and leaving him Bloodied.
Ptekme throws a Chatchka at Killers Psi Warrior, missing. I rolled for his weapon and it returned to him.
Faldar shoots an Eldritch Blast at Killers Psi Warrior, missing.
Qaba shoots the Fire Cleric, dealing 8 damage and KO.

Lady Citizen approaches, triggering a Dwarven Rabble's readied attack. He misses.
Lady Citizen attacks for 6 damage with her club and 3 with her shank, leaving Dwarven Rabble Bloodied.
Male Citizen joins his buddy, but misses.

Lazaar casts Magic Missile, dealing 4 and 5 to the two Gangers and taking them out, and 4 to Human Rabble. I put the defiling area on the Rabble, assuming he wouldn't want to drop it on his own guys.

Killers Psi Warrior casts Command on Zantos, but Zantos passes his save.
Killers Psi Warrior casts Eldritch Blast at Faldar, but misses.
Crispy is not visible and cannot act.
Human Rabble rolls Handle Animal and succeeds on ordering the Carru, then flees straight into the elves.

As Ptekme deftly plucks the Chatchka out of the air he realises the tower guard is now at an advantage. He closes some of the distance the prepare himself for leaping onto the tower, when suddenly he runs into another enemy (human rabble). More by instinct, then by thought, he tries to bite her with his mandibles.

Feeling pretty good about his throw Bontar watches in amazement as it doesn't seem to do much to the towerguard. In that short moment he let down his guard and gets hit by the stonebow.

Faldar shakes his head as he sees Bontar get hit again. "Bontar, stop goofing around. You're not getting old, are you?"
At the same time he heals Bontar and throws a blast of energy at the dwarf rabble in front of him.

At the mention of the O-word, Bontar flies into a rage. "OLD AGE!! WHRAAAGGH!! Come here then, scumbags. Let me hammer you down a bit."
He runs at the dwarf rabble and swings his maul with a brutal, overhead swing.

"Follow me! Let's sweep around the tower and get to our allies."

Initiative 17

He attacks the dwarf rabble next to his new location.

Attack: [roll4]

Damage [roll5]

He still has Armor of Agathys, giving himself 10 temporary hit points. If someone hits him with a melee attack, they take 10HP of damage until my THP are gone.

[RandomWombat]

The arrows fly up as the elves sweep across the open area, one flying past the dwarf and the other impacting him in the rib. Like his counterpart, a psionic field ripples and flickers before fading, the arrow falling to the ground. Ptekme moves up beneath the watchful eye of the tower and grabs the milk man, sinking deadly mandibles into the man's throat. With a halting scream, the man is dropped to the ground.

Zantos swings at the dwarf guarding the door to the left gatehouse building, but the dwarf narrowly tilts back, the edge of Zantos' weapon brushing the tip of his nose. The dwarf makes an awkward counterattack from his angle leaning backwards, which Zantos dodges around with ease.

The door behind the dwarf is thrown open and a gladiator with a bone parma steps out. With the bone scimitar in his other hand he lunges at Zantos, but the elf deftly evades his strike as well. Behind him, through the open door, Zantos can see Crispy on an elevated ledge behind a railing. Beneath him is a man in the dark robes of the Crematory. "You shouldn'ta followed me, elf!" Crispy calls down.

While Zantos is still recovering from the momentum of sidestepping the first lunge, the gladiator suddenly changes directions with an upwards slash across the elf's thigh. But instead his scimitar passes along a rippling barrier, and energy flows suddenly through the weapon, leaving traces of frost on the blade. The man's hand is rapidly covered in burning frost as he growls. "The elf is protected!" He recovers quickly from the damage, regaining his stance.

The ground behind Zantos' feet bursts as a psychic blast from the dwarf above impacts the earth. Another ganger runs across the bridge behind the gladiatress, rushing to Crispy's aid. The burnt gladiator descends the stairs and fires a ball of blue flame at Zantos. If sails past, fizzling out in the air behind him, as blue flames lick the air all around Crispy. None of the Killers seem affected, but Zantos and his crew feel a painful heat in the air. After his missed shot, Crispy takes a few steps back up the stairs.

The Crematory cleric steps up, with his staff in both hands. "Toil in the heat," he commands, and launches an invisible wave of convection at Zantos, causing his barrier to sizzle and pop.


Faldar knits Bontar's shoulder with healing light, the scrapes left by the sling bullet mending. The blast that follows impacts the enemy dwarf in the chest, knocking the wind out of him. He staggers back with an "Ouf," before regaining his balance and moving in to attack Faldar before his bodyguard can intervene. The greatclub swings inches from Faldar's head, and he can feel the force of the swing flow past him in the form of turbulence. Bontar responds by crushing the dwarf into the ground with his maul.

Behind the dwarves, another man of the Flame steps out of the building the dwarven thug fled into and turns to face the attackers. Brandishing his totem at the Watcher with the greatclub, he incants, "By Fire be purged!" A small ball of flame gathers around the totem, not seeming to burn the man's fingers, before it launches at its target and washes over his face. The man screams and grabs the right side of his face, where he will surely have a scar to mirror Crispy's should he survive.

Before the man has time to worry about his beautiful face, the dwarf comes back on the backswing and delivers a devastating uppercut with his club. The man falls backwards, buckling to the ground. His companion bares her teeth. She swings her club, cleanly clonking the dwarf across the side of the head and sending him to the ground. "Help him!" she shouts back at Faldar, before rushing the fire cleric with her shiv. Her stab catches on his cloak, tearing a hole in it.

Looking past her over the melee, the psion realigns his aim and sends a pulse of psychic force at Faldar a second time. This time it finds its mark, knocking Faldar upside the head and leaving him feeling dizzied.


Qoheleth's spell trips the carru forwards into a new dip into the ground, as a mound spells up to block its advance. Greven's illusion seems to fool it, as the cornered animal begins to back away. As Greven moves away from it just in case, a javelin falls short of him and sticks into the ground a few feet away. He can see the woman in her crested helmet up on her perch, loading another javelin into her atlatl. The dwarf with the stonebow emerges from inside, firing at Greven, but the stone flies past him and impacts the ground with a thud.

Lazaar steps fowards and draws the life from the ground beneath the carru, sickening and frightening the beast further. The energy is transfigured into eerie flames that sail towards the gladiatress, scalding her across one side of her chest.

More gangers emerge from the building next to Greven, assessing the situation, as their carru flees north, trampling some of the fallen.

Jiro fires at the Killers Psi Warrior, but misses.
Ptekme bites Human Rabble for 6 damage, for a KO. He succeeds his save against poison, for what little it mattered.
Faldar hits Dwarf Rabble with an Eldritch Blast, for 8 damage and leaving him Bloodied.
Qaba fires at the Killers Psi Warrior, hitting for 9 damage.
Zantos swings at Dwarf Rabble, but just barely misses.

Fire Cleric exits the building and casts Firebolt at Male Citizen, dealing 7 damage and Bloodying him.

Qoheleth casts Mold Earth, blocking the Carru.

Killers Gladiatress readies an action to fire when a target comes into her LoS.
East Dwarf Rabble attacks Faldar, dealing 9 damage.
East Dwarf Rabble attacks Male Citizen, dealing 9 damage and KO.
West Dwarf Rabble swings at Zantos, but misses.

Greven casts Minor Illusion, confusing the Carru, then moves away. He triggers the Gladiatress' shot, but she misses.
Bontar hits Dwarf Rabble for 14 damage, bringing it down to KO. Deja vu anyone?

Killers Gladiator emerges and swings at Zantos, but misses. He uses Action Surge to swing again, hitting for 3 damage and taking 10 in return from Armor of Agathys.
Killers Gladiator recovers with his Second Wind.
Killers Gangers dash from the northeast and southeast buildings towards the fights.
Dwarven Thug shoots at Greven, but misses.

Lady Citizen strikes Dwarf Rabble for 6 damage and KO, then swings her offhand at the Fire Cleri for 3 damage.
Lazaar Firebolts the Gladiatress for 10 damage, Bloodying her. Sickening Raze affects the defiled area, rather than the spell target, so the Carru takes the exhaustion.

East Killers Psi Warrior casts Eldritch Blast at Faldar, dealing 7 damage and Bloodying him.
West Killers Psi Warrior casts Eldritch Blast at Zantos, but misses.
Crispy casts Firebolt at Zantos, but misses. Flames lick the air and Zantos, Qaba and Jiro each take 1 passive fire damage.
Human Rabble dash out of the southeast building.

Carru runs around in blind panic.

Mul Rabble exists, somewhere.
Edit: Magma Cleric casts Produce Flame and hurls it at Zantos, dealing 4 damage and not yet ending his Armor.

His voice echoes and grows louder, knocking into the Killers Gladiator, the Dwarf Rabble and the Magma Cleric.

Initiative: 21

He casts Thunderwave doing [roll0] damage (DC13 CON save for half, pushed back 10' on failed save) to the 15' cube starting just to his right and going up and right from there, getting the above enemies in the blast. If it can get Crispy too, include him. Some DMs let you cover half squares and some do not. If I can, then it would start halfway up the Killer Gladiator and Dwarf Rabble squares and reach halfway into Crispy's.

He attacks with his tomahawks. First choice is Killers Gladiator. If he already fell to the thunderwave, he keeps moving until he finds a suitable target, likely Magma Cleric then Crispy. (his token might need moved to pursue the enemy. He has moved 10' so far to where he is now).

"Let's go. We have them on the run now!"

Initiative 17

A couple of things might have happened before he goes.

First choice if no one moved is the dwarf rabble, then Killers Gladiator, then Magma Cleric, then Crispy. If thunderwave moved the enemies, he will not pursue dwarf rabble but instead go after Cleric, then Gladiator, then Crispy, but not exposing himself to an AOO to keep that order. Hope that makes sense.

Attack: [roll5]

Damage [roll6]

He still has Armor of Agathys, giving himself 2 temporary hit points. If someone hits him with a melee attack, they take 10HP of damage until my THP are gone.

Having downed a surprised milkman, Ptekme quickly considers his strategy as the elves give it their all. Deciding to go for the towerguard, he quickly moves next to the stairs, jumps up and tries to bite the psionic warrior with his blood seeping mandibles.

Faldars gets hit twice, once by a blast from the tower and a rough hit from the dwarf that is currently bleeding out due to Bontar's ferocious attack. He's hurting pretty bad, and takes cover from the blast from the tower behind the building. While he's walking over, he notices the now dying civilian and takes a quick moment to stabilize him.

At the same time Bontar doesn't notice any of this. Not even the scream of Faldar as he is hit a second time. With foaming mouth he runs at the Fire cleric, heaving his maul up high he attempts to crack the clerics skull with a menacing downward blow. "DIE!!"

Jiro steps forwards and his voice bursts outwards in a wave. Most of the crowd of foes hold their ground, but the dwarf is thrown aside and nearly keels over just from the force of his shout alone. Qaba capitalizes on the gladiator bracing against the blast with his shield to swing around it. One of his axes makes contact, cutting into the man's arm as he hisses through his teeth. Zantos' twirling blade follows through, leaving a gash across his chest through his tightly fitting leather armor, and the man falls to the ground.

Before they can get inside, the dwarf moves back into position in front of the door, that telltale dwarven stubbornness etched onto his face. Knowing Zantos is protected by a dangerous barrier, he instead drives his greatclub into Qaba's shoulder. The elf can feel it pop out of its socket, electric pain shooting through his body when he moves his left arm. The ganger hops down the stairs over Crispy's head and lands in front of the door. He jabs with his club, trying to punch Jiro in the chest with it, but the elf backs away too quickly to be caught. Growling, the thug reaches out and grabs Jiro by his collar, violently yanking him closer.

Ptekme leaps to the top of the tower and lunges for the dwarf standing watch, who guards with his arm. The large mandibles sink in and rip off a chunk of flesh, causing the dwarf to scream in pain and clutch the injury as it bleeds onto the floor of the watchtower and dribbles down into the sand. Just as he's pulling back from the bite, a javelin impacts the kreen in the chest and throws him back, pinning him up against the wooden paneling of the watchtower. His consciousness fades in and out, before going black.

Turning away from the fallen bug, the dwarf pulls himself together and focuses on Zantos through his orb. Through the glass a floating reticle forms upon the elf, and Zantos feels a chill run down his spine. But the dwarf's aim is not helped by his growing blood loss, and the shot flies past to strike the ground.

Crispy moves down and sends a wave of blue flames out the open door with a wave of his hands, scorching even the fallen gladiator. A shout of primal fury rumbles out of the man's throat as his burnt eye flares up brilliantly in blue fire. "Burn!" Flames linger in the air, licking at the elves and wearing them down. Jiro falls under the hellish heat, while Qaba manages to stay standing.

There is a snort of frenzy and the carru running around runs into the watchtower while jumping and bucking to react to threats and noise in all directions. The dwarf on top staggers as the tower shakes, and falls to land with a thud behind Zantos, knocked unconscious by the fall.

"Wither and fade, servants of the false lords," the Magma Cleric condemns the elves, and Qaba feels his body shudder and weaken under the divine rebuke. Zantos, however, seems to shrug off the effects.


At Faldar's psychic urging, his fallen ally stops bleeding, his wounds clotting into scabs to prevent excess blood loss. Even as he does, he feels a sudden dip in pain as his wounds turn grey and reform, as if tracing back the sands of time to their previous state. The work of the Vicar, perhaps.

The cleric before them motions his hands towards the earth and chants primally, willing a flame to erupt beneath the lady. She jumps and dances aside, only getting slightly singed. From the building a fourth dwarf appears, swinging at her with his club. But she sees him coming early and sidesteps the swing.

Bontar's stomping footsteps prelude his arrival as he drives his hammer into the flame priest's skull. His skeletal helmet cracks and just barely saves him from being split open like a melon, but he goes down hard into the ground bleeding from cuts left by its shattered bone. Another burst of psychic force from above flies past Bontar, impacting the sand next to him.

Dropping his stonebow on the ground to close in on the lady standing over the fallen cleric, the dwarven thug pulls a quabone from his waistband and swings at her with both hands. She blocks with her club, and the dwarf's bone weapon shatters on impact, leaving him stunned and embarrassingly unarmed. Breaking into a grin, the Watcher presses the attack, swinging and scraping at the dwarf's armor with both weapons in a confident flurry.

"Hey," she calls back to Faldar, "It looks like the others are in trouble. Leave this to me and the dwarf!"


Qoheleth's manipulation of the sands proves insufficient, as the two humans catch their footing and avoid getting stuck or slowed down. A second javelin flies past Greven as he falls back, sinking into the sand. A spectral, skeletal hand sails towards the gladiatress as she tucks her atlatl away and draws a pair of bone daggers from her sides. She slashes through it, dismissing the apparition. Right behind it follows a small bolt of fire that impacts her right where she was burned before and causes her to cry out in pain. Small as the new burn is, new pain erupts from already singed nerves.

The ganger pulls himself out of the hole he'd been dropped into and combat rolls to his feet, rushing at Qoheleth. Swinging his club, he cracks the vicar across the chest, and follows up with a punch to the face that leaves his hand just as read and bruised-looking as the vicar's face after hitting his hard scales. "What in the Dragon's silty arse are you things?!"

The human behind him stumbles away from the greying ashen dirt pile and swings at Qoheleth, missing the first time, then delivering a clumsy haymaker to the eye the second time. The dray vicar goes down. "Dudn't matter, chum, they bleed like the rest." He says, wiping his bloody knuckle on his shirt.

Behind them a mul staggers out of what must be a bunkhouse, because he's half asleep and rubbing his eyes, and has forgotten his weapons. He stares around at the scene of carnage, agape.


Jiro casts Thunderwave to his right and upwards into the building. The Gladiator, Magma Cleric and Crispy pass their saves and take 4, while the Dwarf Rabble takes the full 9 damage and is shoved away. The Dwarf Rabble is Bloodied, and Crispy was still Bloodied from the previous fight.
Ptemke hops up onto the tower and bites the Killers Psi Warrior for 10 damage, Bloodying him.
Faldar stabilizes Male Citizen.
Qaba attacks Killers Gladiator, missing with the first swing but hitting with the second for 5 damage and leaving him Bloodied again.
Zantos attacks Killers Gladiator, hitting for 11 damage and a KO.

Fire Cleric casts Create Bonfire under Lady Citizen, who fails her save and takes 1 fire damage.

Qoheleth casts Mold Earth to trip up Human Ganger and obstruct Human Rabble. The Ganger passes a Dex save against small falling damage, and the Rabble passes a Strength save to avoid getting slowed down.
Qoheleth casts Healing Word on Faldar*(see OOC) for 6 healing.

Killers Gladiatress uses her Second Wind and Action Surge, hurling two javelins. One strikes Ptemke, critically hitting for 12 damage and a KO. The other misses Greven.
West Dwarf Rabble strikes Qaba using some Dwarven Focus, for 9 damage, Bloodying him.
East Dwarf Rabble swings at Lady Citizen, but misses.

Greven casts Chill Touch at Killers Gladiatress, but misses.
Bontar swings at Fire Cleric, obliterating him with a 21 damage crit, just a few shy of an instant kill. The Cleric is KO'd.

West Killers Ganger swings at Jiro with his club, but misses. He makes an offhand unarmed strike, hitting for 1 damage.
South Killers Ganger strikes Qoheleth for 7 damage, Bloodying him. An offhand unarmed strike deals another 1 damage.
Dwarven Thug swings at Lady Citizen, rolling a nat 1 and breaking his bone weapon.

Lady Citizen strikes the Dwarven Thug for 1 and 3 damage.
Lazaar casts Firebolt at the Gladiatress, dealing 1 damage, returning her to Bloodied and sickening the Human Rabble with his Defiling area.

East Killers Psi Warrior casts Eldritch Blast at Bontar, missig.
West Killers Psi Warrior casts Hex on Zantos, followed by an Eldritch Blast that misses despite using some Dwarven Focus. Zantos has disadvantage on Charisma checks while the Hex lasts.
Crispy casts Burning Hands, hitting the fallen Killers Gladiator, as well as Jiro and Qaba, for 12 damage. Qaba passes his save and takes half, leaving him Bloodied, but Jiro goes down. The elves all take 1 fire damage from KFC's finger-lickin' aura and Jiro takes 1 failed Death Save from the damage.
Human Rabble takes two punches at Qoheleth, missing once and critting the second time for 2 damage and a KO.

Carru rams into the west watchtower in its panicked rampage. The dwarf fails a Dex save and falls backwards, taking 8 falling damage and is KO'd.

Mul Rabble emerges, unarmed.
Magma Cleric casts Bane on Qaba and Zantos. Qaba is affected and takes -1d4 to his attacks and saves. Zantos passes his save.

It is the start of a new round. The tide is turning in a bad direction. Can the teams pull through?

Ptekme is hit hard and is now fighting for his life on an instinctual level.

At the same time, Faldar sees Bontar smashing up the fire cleric, removing a big problem on the west flank. "Good, I knew you weren't that old!", Faldar grins to himself. A shock of relief hits him as he is suddenly healed by someone else, probably one of the robed figures. But he doesn't have to look as things go haywire on the other side of the square. Intense close combat fighting has ensued and Ptekme seems to have dropped out of sight. Unsure whether he is hiding or fallen Falder dashes to the east flank, leaving Bontar and the woman to clean up.

Bontar on the other hand has no clue about what's going on beyond several feet away from him. While dodging another blast, his gladiatorial instincts take over. Swinging his maul around him to build up momentum he circles the dwarven thug. Finally letting the maul come swinging in low, aiming at the hip of the unfortunate dwarf.

I'm not sure how you run diagonal movement, but however you do it, he should be able to stay out of melee from the current enemy he is engaged with since his movement is 40'. Drops prone so ranged attacks have disadvantage.

Things rapidly turning for the worse, Qaba beats feet away while Zantos steps in to take the opening at Crispy. The man recklessly hefts his carrikal in both hands to attack, before Zantos' scimitar cuts him across his exposed chest. Dropping the weapon behind him in shock, Crispy spits out an incomprehensible insult or expletive, then falls over.

Turning around, Zantos breaks off. Unaware of his barrier, the ganger takes a swing at him. His club makes contact and shatters Zantos' barrier. Shards of frost form in the air out of the broken field and fly into the ganger, peppering him with freezing impacts. The dwarf outside the door tries to follow up, but he waits too long for the barrier to vanish and Zantos is already gone when he swings.

Following Zantos outside, but very conscious of his grievous wounds, the ganger grabs Jiro's bow and quiver and ducks around the corner of the building. He peeks around and clumsily takes a shot at Zantos, but his untrained hand only sees the arrow fall flat at his feet as the bow misfires. Flushing with embarrassment, he slides back into cover.


Faldar crosses the no-man's land in the middle of the outpost, littered with the bodies of the fallen and with the carru still running around in a mix of rage and panic. He sees the gladiatress on her perch, out of ammo, running into the building on the east of the bridge.

One of the dwarves comes up on the carru and shouts, startling it away. The frightened beast turns in the opposite direction, running headlong towards Faldar. The psion barely swerves out of the way in time for the beast's horns to meet empty air, its wild eyes inches from Faldar's own.


On the east side, the dwarf takes two swings at Bontar as he moves away to focus on the same opponent as his ally. Only one of them comes close, the wind brushing his ear. The gambit pays off as his hammer drives into the less well-armored back of the now-unarmed thug, sending him toppling to the ground and nearly on top of the lady as she hops back.

Turning around to face the last dwarf in their crowd, she takes a few swings at him, as he ducks and weaves out of the way, blocking he club with his own.

The psion above holds out his crystal sphere, targeting Bontar. For him it works out better than his colleague, a psychic blast throwing Bontar back with undeniable force as veins of grey spread out from the impact point. Bontar lands on his side, unmoving.


The skeletal hand of Greven's spell chases after the ganger, but he ducks around it. He gives chase to the dray, following him behind the building. "You're not getting away, you freaky little ****!" A bolt of magic strikes him from behind, but doesn't slow his pursuit.

Before the other human can follow, two bolts strike him twice in the chest and face, leaving him with a bloody, broken nose. Groaning, he takes a rock from a bag at his side and hurls it, taking cover behind the dirt mount Qoheleth made earlier. The rock lands on Lazaar's foot, stubbing his toe, but dealing no major damage.

The tired mul sees the man flinging stones at Lazaar and puts two and two together. Balling up his fists, he stomps towards the defiler.

Jiro passes a Death Save.
Ptekme passes a Death Save.
Faldar dashes towards the West Side.
Qaba moves away and shoots at Dwarf Rabble missing, then drops prone.
Zantos strikes Crispy for 11 damage and KO, the moves away, provoking from Human Ganger and Dwarf Rabble. Human Ganger hits for 7 damage and takes 10 in return, Ganger is Bloodied. Dwarf Rabble misses.

Bontar strikes Dwarven Thug for 16 damage, a KO.

West Killers Ganger picks up Jiro's bow and fires at Zantos, missing.

Lady Citizen swings twice at Dwarf Rabble, but misses both.
Lazaar casts Magic Missile, dealing 5 damage to Killers Ganger and 9 to Human Rabble, Bloodying the latter. Ganger moved away, so his Sickening Raze catches only the Human Rabble, increasing his exhaustion to 2 (3 in defiled areas).

Killers Psi Warrior casts Hex on Bontar, giving him disadvantage on Strength ability checks (but not attacks) and then casts Eldritch Blast, using his last Dwarven Focus to hit for 10 force and 5 necrotic damage, KO'ing Bontar. He gets to change his Hex target for free next turn.
Human Rabble throws a rock at Lazaar, dealing 3 damage.

Carru attempts to gore and trample Faldar, but misses.

Still breathing Ptekme suddenly recovers slightly and wakes up. Hearing the sounds of battle around him, he quickly hides behind the scaffolding of the tower.

Almost half way to the other side, Faldar hears a horrible scream from Bontar. Now Bontar always screams a lot in combat, but this doesn't sound like screams of rage. No, these sounds like pain and nearing death. Immediately Faldar spins on his feet. Ptekme could still be hiding, but Bontar surely is in trouble. Faldar runs over and uses his last spell to get him back on his feet.

With a scream, Bontar wakens. The last thing he remembered being a blast of energy knocking him down and taking a huge toll on his body. The blast came from the tower. He gets up on wobbly legs and slowly moves to the tower. Although he is now much to blurry to be raging he screams anyway. And slams his maul into the wooden tower leg.

Ptekme death saving throw [roll0]
He then hides (rolled 18 below) and carefully peaks over the boarding to see what is happening.

Faldar moves and uses Cure wounds on Bontar. [roll1]

Greven (9)

Cast Minor Illusion of a 5' cube of stone where he stood (please forgive the blemishes on the map; I hit "undo" but the app did not respond). He then moves, avoiding an OA due to being unseen. Greven moves away around the building.

Lazaar (6)

Makes like a good sprinter and dashes around the length of the building to rejoin Zantos' squad.

[RandomWombat]

Ptekme comes to at the top of the watchtower, loosely pinned against the wall by a javelin. He is able to work the javelin free of the wall and remain hidden, working to break off the bone weapon to regain mobility without bleeding himself out.

The sounds of cracking bone are drowned out by the cry of the magma cleric as Qaba's arrow finds its mark and he staggers back, clutching the arrow embedded in him. Zantos' arrow is less helpful, going wide and cracking against the frame of the door.

The injured dwarf looks through the frame of the watchtower and sees Zantos, coming around to swing at him with a greatclub. But Zantos reacts quickly and ducks, the weapon striking the frame and shaking the tower slightly instead.

Hearing a sudden shout from under him, Qaba looks down to see the fallen human Ptekme bit earlier surge back up in a clumsy uppercut. The elf quickly dodges the punch, and the second one as the human fights wildly like a dying animal. While he's distracted by the man, he feels his skin start to blister from a wave of convection tossed by the Crematory cleric.

Lazaar appears from around the building.


Faldar pulls away from the flailing carru, narrowly avoiding another horn swipe as he places a hand over the spreading grey rot on Bontar's body. His hand's healing light banishes the necrotic force and Bontar awakens with a gasp. From the nearby building, the gladiatrix emerges. "None of that!" she shouts, and hurls two daggers at Faldar. One of them cuts his arm as it flies past, while the other lands in the sand. But she is too late to stop him from bringing Bontar back.

Seeing the mighty dwarf get back up, the dwarven punk rushes at him, swinging wildly with his greatclub. But Bontar is able to roll out of the way and charge the tower. His stone maul sails through the wood with a sickening crack, and there's a moment of silence as everyone seems to pause for a second. The dwarf up top shouts in dismay as the tower starts to lean over towards the broken leg - and straight towards Bontar!

Squeezing himself as small as he can, Bontar slips through most of the supports as the tower falls, taking some scrapes and battering to his arms and shoulders. The dwarf up top is less fortunate, landing prone on the ground in front of the rampaging carru. Moving as quick as a dwarf can, he gets up and scrambles back. Bontar can feel a familiar unease settle over him as a shot from the dwarf's psi orb splinters some wood next to him. The psion turns just in time to see the carru coming at him, and ducks around a swipe of its horn.

Covering Bontar, the lady takes a stab at the dwarf attacking him and lands a solid hit on his arm, then cracks her bone club in half over his head. She keeps hold of the bottom half of the club, the sharp end potentially serving as another, improvised shiv.


Greven slips away under cover of a wall. The ganger behind him growls and starts circling the wall, placing his hand against it to push himself around the corner, only to discover his hand passes right through. "You are really pissing me off." Slowed down slightly by the wall, he pursues Greven around the corner and pulls out a pelota, tossing the spiked ball. It brushes just past Greven, snagging some of his robes and leaving a small tear.


Left behind, Qoheleth lies unconscious next to one of the humans. The man looks back and hisses at his mul ally, "Hey. Help me move th' guy, we gotta get back and warn Korno. Should take a prisoner with'us so we don't seem useless." Taking off his shirt, the man uses it to bind Qoheleth's hands, and the two of them begin to carry him away from the scene.

Jiro passes a Death Save.
Ptekme revives himself at 1 HP.
Faldar uses Cure Wounds on Bontar, reviving him at 9 HP. Carru took an AoO as he moved away, but missed.
Qaba shoots at Magma Cleric, hitting for 9 damage, Bloodying him. He fails concentration and Bane drops.
Zantos shoots at Magma Cleric, but misses completely. Luckily his bow is not bone, so it can't break on a 1.
Qoheleth passes a Death Save.

Killers Gladiatrix throws two bone daggers at Faldar. One of them hits for 4 damage, Bloodying him.
West Dwarf Rabble swings at Zantos, but misses.
East Dwarf Rabble swings at Bontar, but misses.

Greven casts Minor Illusion and flees. He ended up 1 space back from where you had him, as the corner of the building is a wall and cannot be moved through diagonally.
Bontar gets up and moves away, provoking an attack. Dwarf Rabble swings a second time, but misses.
Bontar strikes the tower leg for 13 damage, enough to break it!

The watchtower falls towards Bontar, and he passes a Dex save to take half damage as he slips between the worst of the supports dropping around him. He takes 4 damage.
The area the watchtower fell into is now difficult terrain, and costs double movement to work your way through the supports when moving through them.
The Psi Warrior falls and takes 6 falling damage, Bloodying him.

South Killers Ganger chases Greven, wasting a point of movement going around the fake wall as if it were real. He tosses a pelota, dealing 3 damage.
West Killers Ganger tries to flee by hopping the fence out of sight, but fails his Athletics check and impales himself on a palisade spike for 3 damage, KO'ing himself.

Lady Citizen attacks Dwarf Rabble twice, dealing 5 damage and a 4 damage crit that breaks her club. The Dwarf Rabble is Bloodied.
Lazaar makes like a tree and dies I mean leaves. He ends up a couple spaces back as well due to the corners.

Killers Psi Warrior gets up and moves a bit, then Strength Hexes Bontar again and misses with an Eldritch Blast.
West Human Rabble rolls a 20 on his Death Save. He gets back up and swings twice at Qaba, but misses.
South Human Rabble ties up Qoheleth and drags him away with help from Mul Rabble.

Carru attacks Killers Psi Warrior, but misses.

Zantos attacks the dwarf with his dagger and then taunts him, "You sure you want to attack me, dwarf? You look like you're in bad shape. If you hit me, my frost magic might kill you. Just drop your weapon and run away. Boo!"

If the dwarf falls or runs, Zantos then turns to Lazaar, "Glad to see you here, Lazaar. Any chance you could kill that cleric for us?" He then moves to the west to stand in front of the cleric, dagger in one hand, bow at his side in the other, hoping he can survive this next attack.

Slowly, Ptekme rises and surveys the situation. Or rather, the incredible mess that it is. He clutches his shoulder with is hurting tremendously. Feeling like these could be he lasts breaths he throws one of his Chatkcha's at the cleric. Hoping to at least take some revenge for his pain.

Meanwhile Faldar is confused by the sudden collapsed tower, the Carru still roaming around goring people, and some daggers flying around his ears, one of them wounding him. In the distance he spots some rabble trying to lug away one of the robed figures. While Bontar is looking around for someone to hammer down. Bontar, who seems to be thinking, must have stopped raging after being knocked unconscious. Faldar decides on the spot, he throws a hopeful blast of energy at the human rabble carrying the robed figure. "DON"T YOU DARE!!" After which he quickly runs behind the dagger thrower, the Gladiatrix. "You've made a grave error, woman. If you focus on me, you won't see the hammer coming down. ... or a maul."

Bontar stands still for a moment, after the semi successful tower collapsing. He growls at the psi warrior, but then he hears Faldar taunting the Gladiatrix and quickly moves over. While walking he raises his maul up high and brings it down hard on the Gladiatrix just as Faldar finishes his taunt.

He re-positioned around the tower, searching the field for his cadre. He noted Greven and his thoughts...and a noticeable lack of Qoheleth and the gangers. He silently cursed them to a pit in Dregoth's dungeons. "We shall flay their skin from their bones for their insolence."

Lazaar (6)

Cast magic missile on the cleric: [roll1] [roll2] [roll3] force damage
Sicken/distant raze the area under the Carru and Psikiller for another level of exhaustion to them.

[RandomWombat]

Ptekme rises back up and hurls the tri-bladed weapon. It spins through the air and sticks into the Crematory cleric's chest, sending him to the ground.

Qaba and Zantos quickly clean up the area below, their blades striking down the rabble still clinging to the fight. Lazaar's missiles fly across the field, pelting the last dwarf multiple times in the chest and sending him falling to the ground in the spreading patch of ash. The carru is starting to look tired out by the sapping Ashen ground, and backs off, retreating into the alcove beneath the bridge.


While moving away to flank the gladiatrix, Faldar fires a blast at the Killers carrying Qoheleth away, but he doesn't hear any cry of pain or thud. His shot most have gone astray. The gladiatrix pulls another dagger from her boot and squares off with Faldar, taking a few test stabs that he weaves around. "You don't even have a weapon. Cocky psi-" she's cut off as Bontar's maul removes her head from her body, from behind, splattering Faldar's face and nice clothes with the results.

Greven arrives soon after, with a ganger following in tow and taking cover around the corner, hesitant after seeing the state of the fight. The last Watcher standing ducks around her dwarven opponent's strike and slashes across his chest with her shank, then takes the broken club and drives it into his shoulder like a stake. The dwarven man groans in pain and crumbles. The club half fragments against his bones, left too small to be worth anything, and she discards it. "On it." Turning, she advances on the ganger, who looks even less thrilled about this than before.

"Alright, I give," the man tosses down his weapon and holds up his empty palms. The Watcher frisks him and tosses aside his second, and last, pelota.


Qoheleth's captors disappear around a building and out of sight.

Nearly exhausted Faldar wipes the blood from his eyes. Across him stands Bontar, wiping the grueling remains of the Gladiatrix head from his maul. Slowly he realises the battle is over. A hard fought battle for sure.

He watches the elves run after the running enemies. Breathing heavily he calls after them. "Zantos, we need to get away from here! This is not the time!" He is not sure whether he heard him.

After giving Ptekme, Bontar and his newfound allies a quick check, he goes around checking on the rabble. He stabilizes any that still remain alive, just like he did to the civilian earlier. "All them are victims really, these just picked the wrong side." Ptekme gets another job though, Faldar decides he finds the gladiators and clerics to dangerous to be left alive. Besides, they did have more of a chance to pick a different path. So Ptekme goes around finishing any gladiators or clerics that are still alive. Meanwhile, Bontar is send to get the wagon.

"Let's go get him." As he runs south, Zantos hears Faldar and looks to Lazaar, "Should we rescue Qoh or abandon him? Your choice. " He doesn't really wait for a reply. If Lazaar wants him to stop he'll yell after him. "Someone check on Jiro!" He yells back at no one in particular. "And make sure Crispy is dead. I hate that guy."

When he gets farther south, he starts to run the wrong way until Qaba corrects him. "Boss, they went this way."

Dashes south.

Zantos and Qaba follow the fleeing Killers as they drag Qoh away. Just as they round the corner of the building, expecting to overtake them, they find the next street empty. Looking for tracks, Qaba spies their trail. The dusty ground avails the tracking elf, for they'd been dragging their feet under the weight of the robed figure, and the scraping footprints lead straight to the door of another sandstone building. They'd likely been hoping to lose the elves by ducking into hiding, with no hope of outrunning the pursuers.

The door proves to be unlocked, with the gang rabble crouched inside behind an upturned table. "****, hold up. We know when we're beat. Right?" he elbows his mul companion in the side.

"Uh, yeah," the mul answers through tired eyes, clearly still not entirely there after being rudely awoken by the attack.

This is off map, so just in theater of the mind for the moment.

Zantos backs away from the open door was well, keeping his bow ready.

"You are beaten. Even if you attack and kill the two of us, five of our friends are back there and will come if we call for them. Did you see what that dwarf just did to your gladiatrix... or to the tower? Don't mess with him. Drop your weapons and carefully carry our friend back. We have a cart to take all of the wounded back to safety. You can come with us. Our boss has a bigger heart than we do. He'll let you live if you cooperate.

The mul holds up his empty hands. "Left my stuff back at the bunk." The human next to him takes off a bag of stones from his belt and drops it on the ground next to him. He doesn't seem to have anything else.

Together, they lift Qoh back off the ground and carry him behind the elves back to the rest of the group. The Watcher leads her own prisoner into the open at knifepoint. "Looks like we cleared the outpost. I don't think we can hold this place for long, but a bunch of you look roughed up."

When Zantos returns with the robed man, Faldar immediately approached him. Feeling relieved that they didn't run into any serious trouble Faldar adresses him and Qaba. "Zantos, you'll get a bonus for that. Great effort! That could also mean that Korno doesn't know yet." Faldar says while looking Zantos and Qaba over for wounds. "Qaba, is it? Let me take care of some of those wounds for you. Now that I've had some rest I feel much stronger." He then leads them to the pile of stuff that has been collected. "We didn't discuss whether you could share in any gains we made during us working together. But as a token of my appreciation for your expertise and courage during the fight, I'd say we share equally. So feel free to help yourself to anything you need." He then turns around and oversees the binding of the prisoners.


Soon there after, Bontar approaches him. He looks only slightly cleaner than before, but doesn't seem to care much. "That was a good fight. It's been awhile since I've had to give it my all. And the new guys did well. What do you want to do with the magic users?".

Meanwhile Ptekme is checking out the locked door. Both checking for locks and listening for anything inside.

Lazaar surveyed the scene and waved his hand at the cleric, dismissing him with a gesture as three arcane bolts coursed unerring into his flesh. Sickly ash blossomed under the carru and psi warrior.

He watched the elves depart and mind-whispered to Greven. "The striders shall claim our brother from these defiled. Break the minds of their stricken for their presumption. Quietly, in consideration of the nobleman."

He then stood and waited among the corpses for news of the elves or the sounds of battle.

Greven heeded his master and quietly shattered the minds of the unconscious, starting with Crispy in his outpost room. "Mar Ravoni, I recommend we leave with haste before a counterattack comes."

The emissary spoke to Faldar, ”We should load anything of value. Perhaps one of yours or the elves is gifted with animals, and could calm the carru? It would feed us well.”

He sees to unbinding Qoheleth upon his return, laying the priest in some shade. He then says to the two abductors, ”Know this mercy: The Prophets would wash the walls with your blood and frame the doors with your bones for stealing one of the brothers, but Mar Ravoni has decreed to turn you into living witnesses to the might of the Unnamed One.”

Greven listens graciously to Faldar and answers, ”You are magnanimous, Nobleman. We would take only the symbols sacred to their priests and what foci the wilders wielded. These stand as tribute to our might over their powers.”

As the group settles for a brief respite from the hot desert sun, Greven silently uses psionics to finish off those Faldar had stabilized, severing their minds from their bodies. The prisoners are gathered to be kept an eye on by the Watchers, the lady helping her friend to stand back up. "Are you alright, Samon?" she cradles his face, looking at the scorched burn scar along the right side.

"My... Rasha, my face..." he touches the scar and winces. She moves his hand away and back down to his side.

"Don't touch it. It could get infected if we leave it like this," she takes out some cloth and binds the wound to keep it covered from sand and dust getting in.


The prisoners shift around nervously. "Right. Mercy. Mag-nani-mous," the ganger comments, sounding unconvinced by Greven's words, sounding out the last one - he probably doesn't even know the meaning of it.

Seeing the robed ones interact with the prisoners Faldar becomes interested and walks over to talk. "You've fought well, robed ones. The orbs are yours, if I ever want to sate my curiosity I will ask you. Your motivation intrigues me however. What powers do you adhere to, .. it almost sounds religious?" Faldar looks at the men with a serious look on his face. Which then suddenly relaxes. "I'm sorry, I'm still a bit tense from the battle. To show my appreciation for your help I would like to invite you to my house. There we can rest and question some of these prisoners in a less dangerous situation."

Bontar as well, seems on edge. He walks over to Ptekme. "Look kreen, it's a bit late for tiptoeing isn't it. If you don't get that door open, I will. We need to get away from here." Ptekme looks at him with a blank expression and speaks some Thri-kreen. "You smash well, dwarf, but you lack subtlety."

Knowing this fight could have gone either way, Qaba is quiet and contemplative. He quietly searches the bodies to see who is still alive, ties their hands behind their backs, and binds their feet. He gathers all of the weapons that can fit on the cart and tries to destroy any that can't fit. As he goes around, he slits the throats of the clerics and Crispy, then hides their bodies in one of the buildings. He then helps load the cart.

"Thanks for the healing. I feel better than ever now."

Zantos is subdued until Jiro wakes up. He helps his friend drink some water and eat a little food. Once the cleric seems stable and awake, Zantos, now smiling form the adventure of the fight, helps Qaba and the others with the prisoners and the bodies. He takes the chitin armor off one of the dwarves and tries to adjust the straps to see if it will fit his longer, narrower body.

"Let's get this back to someplace safer. But first... Bontar, Ptekme, can either of you break into that locked building so we can search it before we go? If it's locked, there must be a reason."

Qoheleth opens his eyes behind the veil, his wounds reminding him he remains in Athas. The priest rises, collects his shield, and listens to Faldar’s questions. He then speaks with more gravitas in his voice, ”The Prophets serve the One we cannot Name. He will come and set Raam to rights.”

He faces Greven and points to his temple. When he feels Greven’s presence worm into his mind, he thinks, ”The Grey surges within me. We should leave, so that we might make better use of its talents. Raam awaits.”

[RandomWombat]

Qaba does a circuit of the fallen, finding that none of the ones they haven't taken prisoner survived. Someone already slit the throats of any notable threats - the clerics, Crispy, and the psions. The rest seem to have simply succumbed to their injuries from the fight. He binds the hands of the still-living prisoners.

Many of the bone weapons are lightweight and can be piled on the cart with relative ease. Only the great weapons and chitin armor have any real heft to them.


The lady Watcher rolls her shoulders and checks herself over for injuries. At the Prophet leader's whispered words of acknowledgement. She gives him a quiet nod and looks over the pile of loot. "I could use some extra blades, in case any are broken or lost," she says, taking a couple of the gladiatrix's daggers. She examines the blades clinically, decides they are fit enough, and slides them into place next to her own.

Her companion, unsure how best to respond to the Prophet, performs a simultaneous bow and salute.


Ptemke examines the lock on the door and, finding no traps or tricks, sets to work unlocking it. With a click, the lock is no longer an obstacle. The sturdy wooden door creaks a little and reveals an old armory. It is sparsely stocked, but doesn't look to have been looted or disturbed since the fall of the city, probably owing to none of the Killers cracking the lock yet. The templars from this post must have taken what they could carry and left the rest.

Top left rack:
One Bronze Armored Coat, typically worn by watchmen during cold nights.

Top right rack:
A tall, Bronze Scutum shield.

Bottom left rack:

The time comes for a decision. How best to return to the nobles' district, in the southeast section of the city.

Qaba gets out some of his rations for the day, picking out something he thinks a Carru might like. He walks gently over to the Carru, offering it some food and trying to calm it down and befriend it. He takes out his waterskin and pours some in the Carru's mouth to help it recover.

"Here buddy. Sorry we scared you. Have some food. It will help you feel better."

He'll try animal handling first [roll0]

If that is not successful, he will cast Animal Friendship, the new spell he got from leveling up. I'll assume the check is successful :smallsmile:

[RandomWombat]

Qaba's gentle approach and the food in his hand puts the large animal at ease - as does the period of quiet after the battle was over. The morsels are slurped out of his hand, leaving it covered in animal drool, and she glugs down the water gratefully. Now convinced of Qaba's lack of ill intent, the carru rubs its nose up against his hand in a friendly gesture.

Zantos approaches the bound prisoners, nonchalantly talking to them as if he didn't just kill all their friends.

"You know you have a better option than just being a prisoner don't you. Leave this motley gang behind, help us take the rest of them down, and you can join us. Food. Protection. A place to sleep. I'm sure our Faldar here will treat you better than old Crispy face did. He was a jerk to us. I bet he was a jerk to you, too. Let's get you all back first. Then we can talk details." He doesn't wait for a response, instead knowing that this might be a process.

Persuasion [roll0]

Edit: I was hoping for a better roll, but this might be interesting. Convince some but not others. We'll see how the interrogations go later.

As far as going through town, what are our options. Would Faldar's group know the safest route? Are we ok going through town with bound prisoners with us? I think that might be a pretty common sight here, but I don't know.

The priest adorned himself with the holy symbols of his enemies, a grim reminder for those who thought flame would outlast the Grey. He also took up the magma cleric’s staff. Striding forth, the prophet inspected the two Watchers, saying softly, ”The path to the Day is hard, yet not without strength. Should we encounter no further resistance, I will tend to your wound, Watcher.”

Faldar eyes up the group as they get ready to leave. Certainly an interesting bunch, and he is sure that House Lufi gained some allies today.

"Alright everyone, time to head out. We'll go through the Psiumarkh and the Elven market. Don't want to venture close to the Arena with Korno's killers running amok. We've dealt a good blow to them though."

After some quick words with Ptekme, the thri-kreen heads off to scout ahead for a couple hundred feet and is soon lost from sight.

"Zantos, can you and your men protect the flanks and back? Then Bontar and I will lead the column, with the rest staying near the kank and carru in the center. Keep your eyes open, as there could be more trouble ahead."

During the discussions, Qoheleth submerged the dead and gore under the silt. He intoned as he did, ”The silt claims what the Grey does not take.”

He billowed sand into the doorways to further hamper any use of this outpost by rogues and gangers.





During the discussions, Qoh buries the dead under the sand, along with any blood and gore, utilizing Mold Earth to excavate 5’ of sand under a corpse and then deposit it right back. He then excavates 5’ mounds of sand directly into doorways, so that a 5’ hole is in front of the door and mounds barricade the entryways. Finally, he draws away sand to leave a 5’ drop off beneath the watch tower ladder.

After the cart is loaded and the prisoners are restrained, Qaba spends his time getting to know the Carru better. As he goes to the back of the caravan, the Carru follows him and walks in the back with the elves. Qaba smiles at Zantos,

"I think I made a friend, boss. Wonder how he'll taste later."

[RandomWombat]

"Says the noble's bootlicker," the captive ganger comments under his breath when Zantos tries to convince them to join.

The human man next to him tells Zantos, "I used to work for one of them nobles. You're just dirt to them, you know, whether you a human or not. All they care bout is maintaining the old order."

The group travels, walking along in formation. Passing through the fencing along the Ghost City border at one of the points where it was broken, they leave the outpost behind with the undeniable evidence of a conflict with Defilers, but no clear indication whose Defilers sacked it.

Even inside the walls, the hot sun does not know mercy. The only solace is the occasional cloth draped out overhead in front of someone's door, providing momentary shade. Those accustomed to the desert heat are undeterred, but Faldar and a few of the prisoners slow down noticeably.

"You'd better not be planning to butcher that carru," Samon comments, walking alongside Qaba on the flank while he watches a couple of the prisoners in front of him. "That's a she. Keep her alive and you'll have milk for years instead of meat for a day."

"He's right," one of the human prisoners comments, panting and dragging his feet. "Doesn't keep long out here. But that stuff'll give you a great energy boost... give me some water, and I can teach you how to milk her?" He suggest, licking his lips with his dry, parched tongue.

Circling to the southwest towards the Psiumarkh, the group passes through the cramped streets and squalid homes of the poor quarter. Unlike the Ghost City, where the 'unclean' lived even if they were fairly wealthy, this place is sparse. Homes are little more than a single room with a bed and sometimes a stone chest or box for personal belongings. Anything here is already ransacked, some of the doors kicked in. At this point the houses are little more than convenient shade.

This place is close to the Prophets' Encampment.

Faldar, Samon and Human Rabble gain another point of Exhaustion during travel.

Feeling the heat and possibly some exhaustions after the adrenaline wears off, Faldar falls back a little, resting one hand on the car for support. He seems to be quite pissed at what has happened, and looks over at the prisoners.

"So, while we're travelling, I better fill you in on what's going to happen to you when we get to my place. For the last couple of blocks you'll be lying on your bellies, eyes closed. I don't want you to know my location. If any of you move, you'll find a swift death before we get there. I might ask one of the Prophets to do so." With that said he throws a questioning look at the robed men. "So at some point we'll get there. You'll be seperated from your buddies. I'll have Zantos or one of his buddies torture each of you for information on Korno and his killers. If that doesn't work, I'll ask the Prophets to assist. If there are any discrepancies between your stories, I heal you up, and we start again. Pretty straight forward right? Well, there is one extra rule to this game. The first one that talks gets to go free afterwards. The other two die. So I suggest you think about what you are going to tell us when we get there. It might save your lives!"

With that, Faldar steps back a little, and pays no more heed to the prisoners.

Zantos walks back to the prisoners after Faldar leaves, surprised by the noble's immediate threat of torture. He tries to cheer up the prisoners after Faldar's speech.

"Don't worry guys. My friends and I aren't going to torture you. You're just pawns in this whole thing, like me. As far as I'm concerned, you haven't done anything wrong yet. Just fighting for the guy who paid you. I'm no better than you... Although your guy started a fight with us... So, like I said, I'm not going to torture you. I'm likely going to have to kill this Korno guy though. And I'd like for you to help me. Not with the fight. I can handle that. I just need you to tell me what your plan was with the Prophet's cleric when you were leaving the fight. Where were you going to take him? Where can we find Krono? And who else does he have guarding him? Everything you can tell me that would help would be best for you. Because the reality is if I don't make it back... Faldar won't let you live after that. You need me to survive. You help me, and I'll help you."

Qaba walks along with Samon and the Carru.

"Samon, since you seem to know so much about this beast, would you like to take care of it and make sure we have enough milk from it? I think she likes you."

[RandomWombat]

"I'm not exactly a rancher, but I've done some odd jobs before," Samon mentions, taking a drink from his waterskin. He nods at Qaba's offer, "Sure. I'll take a crack at watching the carru when we get where we're going."


The result from Faldar's menacing speech is not exactly what he would have liked. The captives avert their eyes or look at their feet, and the ganger's hands are white-knuckled in his bindings. When Zantos moves over to try and ameliorate them, the hooded human tells him, "You see what I mean. He makes this show of mercy, but just to wring us for whatever he can get from us."

"It's not a big secret that Korno's encampment is in the arena," the mul comments, getting an angry glare from the ganger. His hooded human companion opens up, explaining a few things to Zantos as well.

"We were taking the guy there," he tells the elven pirate. "Figured Korno would forgive us for running away, if'n we brought a prisoner. Especially one of those hooded freaks." He glances over at the Prophets out of the corner of his eye and whispers to Zantos, "Do you trust them? I wouldn't. Nobody really knows what's under them hoods..."

"Traitors," the ganger hisses at them, stomping on the mul's foot since he's closest in reach. The mul growls and takes a bite at him, but Samon and Rasha pull them apart.

Rasha puts a blade to the side of the ganger's throat, since he instigated the incident. "One more wrong move and this will be your fate. Don't."


The scene is interrupted as, ahead, Ptekme comes upon a pair of wild vangals in the road, patrolling the street ahead on the route. Wasteland predators, who hunt in packs. One of them, larger and more fierce, steps forward. The creatures have sandy yellow hides that blend in with the sand beyond the walls, and the sandstone here. Fearsome fangs, and crests of quills along their backs, give them a sharp and intimidating appearance.

The larger alpha vangal growls at Ptekme, either hearing or smelling him even in cover. The beast's quills bristle, standing up and making it appear larger and less appealing to get close to.

When Ptekme spots the Vangals he waits for a moment, before shaking a fist at Bontar. He then tries to jump on the roof of the nearby house to get some more distance between them.

This is the signal that Bontar was afraid of. He shouts "HALT!! Folks, we got trouble up ahead, seems like some kind of wildlife. Get your weapons ready!" He rolls his shoulders a bit, and passes his stone maul from hand to hand to warm up.

At the same time, Faldar is shaken up from his drowsiness. The heat is really getting to him. He looks around for a bit, before responding to Greven. "You know, normally I wouldn't go for this, but I'll take you up on the offer. After we get past these beasts of course. Let's make it quick." A split second later a blast of energy surges towards the smaller one.

Lazaar's flame sails from his finger and scalds the beast as it flies past, startling it and causing it to whimper. But it quickly regains its confidence and snarls, its quills vibrating against one another rapidly to create a ringing sound. The alpha does the same. Several more join in the unsettling hymn, blending together in a harmony that makes it hard to tell where they're all coming from. A thorn launches into the air and arcs towards Lazaar, leaving a faint blue trail in the air. It freezes in the air in front of his outstretched hand, as if sticking into a wall, before going inert and falling to the ground.

The beast runs closer, leaning forward with is head low to allow its quilled back better aim, and fires at Zantos. But the shot goes astray. A second beast appears from around the building Ptekme is using as cover, before he can escape to the rooftops. He responds just in time to yank his leg away from its jaws.

Lazaar casts Firebolt at Vangal, dealing 5 fire damage. I rolled a free Intimidation for him, but he failed to scare it.

Charging forwards, Bontar smashes his maul into the vangal's back, driving it into the ground. The creature lies still. Greven's spells and Jiro's arrow find their mark before its regeneration can take hold again, ending the creature's life. Thorns shoot out in multiple directions, but only clatter into walls.

From beneath and around the vangal attacking Ptemke, flames flicker and erupt into being. The creature jumps around, scalding its feet as it panics. A thorn launches out at Zantos, but he swivels out of the way. With the first beast dead, Qaba takes aim at the Alpha. His shot flies out, scraping along the beast's side. A thorn shoots out, slicing past Qaba and nearly impaling him in the side.

Moved forward, the group can now see another pair of vangals approaching from their right flank from around the corner.

The alpha's quills vibrate harder. Seemingly aware of Zantos' magic, it locks its eyes onto him and charges forward. As it gets closer, the harmonics of the vibrating quills seems to reach a crescendo, stinging Zantos' ears and leaving them ringing, as well as everyone nearby. The larger beast snaps at him with its fangs, but he's able to shove its face away with a foot.


While the warriors fight the beasts, Rasha stays back with Samon and the prisoners, keeping an eye on their charges. Suddenly, the ganger tries to make a break for it, dashing around Rasha and behind her. She turns and stabs at him with both of her daggers. One he bats away, knocking it out of her hand where it shatters against the corner of the building, but the other scratches him, leaving a light cut.

"The fool is running off!" Rasha calls out as he runs back into the narrow, cramped streets behind them. She looks to the other prisoners as if daring them to try, but the mul is watching the fight attentively and the human just shakes his head.

Bontar smashes Vangal, critically hitting for 20 damage, just enough for a KO. Vangal's thorns shoot at Bontar, but miss.
Greven casts Chill Touch on the downed Vangal twice. With advantage due to being unconscious, he hits with both, and the creature fails 2 Death Saves. Vangal's thorns shoot at Greven, but miss.
Zantos casts Create Bonfire on Vangal. It fails its save and takes 5 fire damage. Vangal's thorns shoot at Zantos, but miss.

Jiro shoots the downed Vangal, killing it. No thorns launch after it dies.
Qaba shoots at Alpha, dealing 9 damage. Alpha's thorns fire back, critically hitting for 7 damage.
Rasha readies an action to attack if anything comes near.

Alpha Vangal closes with Zantos. Its Howling Aura deals 1 thunder damage to Zantos, Qaba, Ptekme and Bontar, and all are Deafened while they are within 20 feet of the Alpha. Alpha bites Zantos, but misses.

Samon readies an action to attack if anything comes near.
Ptekme Disengages and leaps onto the rooftop, 10 feet up.

Killers Ganger tries to make a break for it. He provokes an AoO from Rasha, but she misses and breaks one of her daggers. She uses her readied action as well, for an enemy 'appearing' next to her, hitting for 5 damage.

Faldar casts Eldritch Blast at Alpha, but misses.
Qoheleth casts Guidance on Greven.

It is now the start of a new round.

After knocking out the Vangal with a strong hit, Bontar feels fired up once more. Maybe it's the smell of blood, or feeling of personal victory when a foe bite the dust. Quickly he moves one, swinging his stone maul round. He walks up to the biggest vandal. The one that is making the aweful sound and tries to smash it. "Wraaagghh!"

Still feeling the throbbing pain his shoulder, which was ignited once more by the pain from the sound, Ptekme takes his time to hide, waiting for an opportune moment to strike.

While part of the group is fighting the vangals, Faldar is one of the guys noticing the escaping Ganger. For a split second he wonders if it is because of his threat, but quickly thinks better of it. The Ganger is the most valuable of the prisoners though.
"Somebody stop that guy! Try and knock him out." With that Faldar takes aim and fires an energy blast at the back of the Ganger.

[RandomWombat]

Lazaar's small blast of flame streaks out, but the Alpha notices it and swerves around, sending it careening into the side of the building behind it. Fortunately the sandstone structures of Raam are not prone to igniting.

The vangal caught in Zantos' bonfire panics and leaps back, fleeing around the corner to lick its wounds. More of them emerge from ahead down the street, and the two moving to flank draw closer. Bontar finds himself facing off against one as it turns the corner. A few of them lean forward and fire thorns in he and Zantos' directions, to defend their Alpha. The sharp instruments of the beasts fail to leave any lasting harm, aside from a few red scratches.

Pulling away and leaping over the vangal's retaliatory bite, Bontar swings his maul at the Alpha. With swiftness belied by its larger frame, it weaves around his swing, which impacts the ground and sends up some dust. Greven has better fortune, as he launches a two-pronged attack on the beast. Its lesser mind surrenders easily to his own, and the creature whines behind bulging eyes. Just the distraction he needs to wrap the spectral hand around its throat and tighten. Occupied with choking the life from the beast, Greven doesn't notice the thorn until too late as it strikes him in the face, embedding itself viciously in his cheek.

Calling upon his psychic powers, Zantos conjures a shimmering, frosty psi-field around himself that soon fades. Jiro draws another arrow and plants it firmly in Alpha's head, the beast going limp. Its harmonic resonance fades and the pack howls in rage and despair. Qaba tries to take aim and finish it off for good before Greven's hand stops disabling its regeneration, but his arrow meets only the dust.


Giving chase to the fleeing prisoner, Rasha throws a dagger at him that plants itself in his back, and he goes down. She moves up next to him, preparing to drag him back to the wagon. Samon keeps his post near the other prisoners, in case either of them get the bright idea to try the same, and watches the back of the caravan in case of more flanking vangals.

With the prisoner recaptured, Faldar turns and hurls the energy bolt he'd charged up at the vangal that had just rounded the corner instead. The bolt slams into the beast, but it rolls with the blow and back to its feet, snarling. The thorn sails through the air, psionically responding to the attack; Faldar just barely manages to move his head aside, preventing it from taking out an eye.

There is a tolling of a bell, and the Alpha's breathing stops.

Lazaar casts Fire Bolt at Alpha, narrowly missing.

Vangal Disengages and flees around the corner.
Vangal rushes Bontar and bites him for 3 damage.
Vangal fires thorns at Bontar, missing.
Vangal fires thorns at Zantos, dealing 5 damage.
Vangal fires thorns at Zantos, dealing 4 damage.

Bontar moves away to attack the Alpha, provoking an AoO. The Vangal misses. Bontar's attack misses Alpha.

Alpha shoots two retaliation thorns at Greven, hitting once for 6 damage, Bloodying him.
Zantos casts Armor of Agathys.

Jiro crits Alpha for 14 damage and a KO. Thorns misses.
Qaba shoots at Alpha, but misses.
Rasha tosses a dagger at Ganger for 4 damage and a KO.

Alpha fails its first death save due to Mind Sliver, and Chill Touch prevents its regeneration.

Ptekme Hides successfully.
Faldar fires an Eldritch Blast at the nearest Vangal instead, dealing 10 damage. A thorn strikes him for 7 damage.
Qoheleth uses Toll the Dead on Alpha, who fails the save. I am going to rule that Toll the Dead deals 2 failed Death Saves to downed targets, even though it cannot crit (it fits the flavor of the spell); Alpha has perished.

It is the start of a new round!

"Ouch, these things bite!" Bontar says calmly s he is bitten. I hope they're not disease ridden or somthing. He walks over to the nearest vangal. With out seeming to care much for any counter attacks, he attacks. He hefts his maul and strikes it down with force.

Ptekme observes another vangal approaching from his left. He reaches over the edge and throws his Chatcka at it, aiming for it's throat. After which he drops prone on the roof.

Faldar smiles as Rasha takes down the ganger. Both civilians didn't seem worth much when he first saw them, but fighting for their lives has seemingly revived their will to live. Not to mention her newfound aggression. He fires one last mind blast at the nearest vangal, before running over to the KO ganger, to make sure he'll live. "Rasha, get him over here please."

[RandomWombat]

Several bolts of dark magic sweep out and harry the vangals as the land withers around them, causing them visible distress. Unable to pinpoint a cause, the two of them rush at Bontar, pressing against the creature that slew the Alpha. He fends off the worst of their bites, kicking and shoving them away with his feet. Bringing up his maul, he slams it into the side of the one the Prophet wounded with his magic, causing it to squeal in pain. For his trouble, a thorn lodges itself directly into his chest.

The two beasts coming around the corner smell the scent of the wounded and descend upon Qaba and Greven before they can be halted. One of them latches onto Qaba's leg and very nearly brings him down into the dirt with a whip of its head, while the other leaps on top of Greven, knocking him flat on his back, and begins to savage him. Zantos quickly runs over, summoning fire beneath the beast attacking Qaba and forcing it to let go. Jiro's arrow whips past, stinging the vangal on Greven with a grazing hit. The beast looks up and snarls in his direction as a thorn sails past him.

Lazaar casts Magic Missile, dealing 9 damage to the Vangal next to Bontar and 4 to the one just past them. Catching both is a little too far for the raze range even with movement, but he catches the one next to Bontar.

Vangal moves out of the defiled area to attack Bontar, missing its bite.

Taking advantage of Zantos' arrival, Qaba slips away before the Vangal that had grabbed him by the leg can regain its composure.

Dragging the unconscious prisoner by his feet, Rasha pulls him back towards Faldar. The man leaves a trail of blood behind him, from her dagger wound and from being scraped unceremoniously across the hard ground. "Samon! We must help! Prisoners, take this one as a lesson on what happens if you run." Dropping his legs, she pulls out another pair of daggers.

With a nod, Samon interposes himself between the wounded elf and the creatures in case they try to give chase, taking a combat crouch and holding his club for defense. A bolt of psi energy from Faldar strikes one of the Vangals in the face, knocking it off balance as a thorn flies off into a wall in the wrong direction.

From above, a chatchka flies down and impales the vangal Bontar had struck in the neck, sending it to the ground. The wound has already begun to mend, forcing the blade out, as it lands on the ground. A thorn shoots up at Ptekme, but he drops down before it can reach him and its tracking runs it into the wall at the corner of the roof instead.

Brandishing high his totem, Qoheleth causes the area to dim as its colors become faded. The vangals wheeze and choke, many of them coughing up dead ashes into the dirt. Only the one caught by the flame seems able to resist the full effects of the curse, but the one alongside it collapses to the ground, disabled for now. A swarm of retaliatory quills flies through the air, but none of them make contact with the cleric.

Qaba Disengages and retreats from the Vangals.

Rasha drags the Ganger back to the group.
Samon moves up and Defends.

Ptekme Sneak Attacks the wounded Vangal for 10 damage and a KO. Thorns miss him.
Faldar fires Eldritch Blast at the Vangal that attacked Greven, dealing 8 damage and Bloodying it. Thorns very, very miss him.
Qoheleth moves to catch more Vangals and uses Feast of Ashes, dealing 10 necrotic damage to each of them. Only the one that bit Qaba passes its exhaustion save, but is Bloodied. The one that attacked Greven is KO'd. Three sets of thorns all miss Qoheleth.

As thorns are flung left and right by the beasts, Ptekme is very careful to stick his head out from the roof. He considers his last Chatchka and decides to wait a moment, so attention is going away from him.

Bontar on the other hand, doesn't have that luxury. Ptekme's Chatchka flying past him startles him, before he realises and sighs in relief. He finds it always hard to keep track of the thri-kreen in battle, which makes it hard to know if he's still fighting. He draws out the thorn that hit him, and looks at the bite wounds. He is bleeding severely now and realizes that he needs to get his guard up. "Guys, I could use some .... ", Bontar says before swallowing the words. His pride is not that wounded... Taking the maul with both hands he starts spinning it, forming a lethal barrier between his body and the vangals.

As Rasha brings back the ganger, Faldar takes over. "Alright, put him down now and go help out the rest. I'll take care of this guy." Faldar reaches down to lift one of the eyelids to check if he is really unconscious and stablises some of his wounds.

Lazaar watched his emissary collapse and then the vangal follow suit from his priest's injunction. He had never seen such power from the vicar, but he doubted not that the Grey communed with the cleric. The prophet pointed at the downed vangal and a flaming bolt shot toward the beast. Meanwhile, ash billowed under the conscious vangal between Zantos and Qoheleth.

Draining power from the land beneath the bonfire, Lazaar launches another sphere of flame that impacts the fallen vangal and cauterizes its wounds before they can heal, bringing it a step closer to its demise. The one trapped in the bonfire leaps out of the burnt, ashen area and shakes itself, before snapping back at Zantos with a vengeance. Though its fangs sink deep into the barrier around the elf's leg, the beast is repaid by a freezing jolt of cold straight through its mouth and face. The sudden change in temperature shocks the beast into unconsciousness, with frostbitten jowls. Before it can threaten to get back up, Zantos hacks at it with his scimitar, and Jiro puts an arrow through its skull, finishing it off.

Rasha dashes past Jiro and the others, moving into position to help Bontar with the rest of the pack. Moving up alongside the others, Samon uses his bone club to crush the skull of the other fallen vangal, ending its life.

Bontar is assailed by the beast, but it's unable to get past his defenses. The one next to it, fallen after Ptekme's attack, struggles back to its feet. The chatchka is pushed out of its wound and it joins the other in snapping and biting at Bontar. The gladiator dodges and hops around their fangs. Qoheleth attempts to remind the risen vangal of its mortal flesh, but the beast shakes off the sound of the black bell.


From his perch above the street, Ptekme can see another vangal that had been guarding one of the buildings with a broken door, leading a small clutch of vangal hatchlings out and urging them around the corner, away from the danger.

After killing the Vangals, Zantos sees that Bontar is in trouble and runs to help.

"Yeee-aaah!" he screams as he runs, still smiling like a madman but clearly a little tired from the hits he's taken.

Uses his movement from last round to move up to Bontar, flanking the Vangal on the right so Bontar can get advantage. He will either attack one of these Vangals, attack the Vangal coming from the NE, or maybe cast shatter on the hatchlings. I'd like to wait until Bontar and the Vangals go before I make that decision.

Having counted at least ten seconds past Ptekme's last attack, Bontar knows to go offensive again. He nods at Zantos who has moved into a flanking position. While still whirling his maul he steps forward, almost into the vangal and tries to his it with his maul.

Around that time, Ptekme pops up again, scanning the battlefield for a target and throws his last Chatchka at the vangal on the side. Taking the beast by surprise.

After stabilizing the ganger, Faldar turns around. Somehow the battle is still going on, which is not what he expected. He looks for those any wounded allies and quickly runs up to Greven to heal him. For a split second, Faldar wonders if his healing will work on the dray. But thinking the better of it, he puts his hands on him and heals. "Get back up, quickly. This battle isn't over yet.."

[RandomWombat]

The tolling of Lazaar's spellcasting is taking a lot out of the vangal struggling to stand in front of Bontar. A thorn launches out at the wizard, but falls half-heartedly to the ground, not even making it halfway. The beast lurches forwards towards Bontar, but stumbles and stops halfway, panting and heaving pathetically. The other vangal vainly snaps at Zantos as he moves up to flank, avoided by the elf's agile footwork. The first vangal he'd burned comes back around the corner, now recovered, and fires thorns at Zantos which narrowly fly past.

Taking advantage of the elf's aid, Bontar delivers a fierce blow to the double-teamed vangal, landing a solid hit to the broadside. The beast looks badly hurt and limping, at least until its healing starts to take hold.

Lazaar casts Toll the Dead on Vangal, which it fails due to exhaustion disadvantage and takes 4 damage. The thorn counter misses.

Knowing he still has the armored frost on him, and seeing the mother and the babies coming from the north, Zantos moves away from the Vangal to cast his spell and then returns to his spot to help Bontar.

"Not more of these things"






Zantos moves away without disengaging, then casts shatter on the Vangal and the hatchlings for [roll0] damage, DC14 CON save for half.

He then runs back to where he was before. (I moved the past Zantos token to where he casts the spell before returning)

Jiro and Qaba will direct their attacks at the new Vangal from the left. Qaba will try to remain behind half cover from the wall when he shoots. Jiro will move back before shooting.

[RandomWombat]

Backing away, Zantos tempts the vangal into attacking him. As its teeth make contact, sinking through his waning barrier and into his leg, the creature is zapped by a powerful chill and drops to the ground. Jiro and Qaba take their shots, Jiro's going wide and Qaba's thudding into the fallen vangal's skull. Rasha moves up next to Bontar and drives one of her blades into the creature's eye, piling on more trauma than its regeneration can keep up with to keep its brain alive. She takes her other blade and swings at the second, but it grabs the blade in its teeth and snaps it into pieces.

Leaning over the side of the roof, Ptekme flings down another blade, sinking it into the Vangal's neck where the last healed out of and puts it on the ground again. Samon moves up, holding his club defensively in front of the last standing Vangal.

Zantos casts Shatter on the Vangal and Vangal Hatchlings, dealing 14 thunder damage to all of them. Vangal takes an AoO, dealing 6 damage to Zantos and Bloodying him and 10 damage to itself, getting KO'd.

Jiro fires at Vangal, but misses.
Qaba fires at Vangal, critically hitting for 2 failed Death Saves on the downed Vangal.

Rasha stabs Vangal with her offhand, automatically critting for 2 failed Death Saves and killing it. Rasha stabs the other Vangal with her main hand attack, critically missing and breaking a dagger.
Samon moves closer to the fight and uses the Dodge action.

With his comrade returned to nearly full condition, Qoheleth sends his own healing magic to Qaba, who is badly hurt. The tolling of his bell causes one of the vangals to flinch away, and grey patches begin to form on its flesh.

Faldar casts Cure Wounds on Greven, bringing him back at 5 hit points.
Since Greven is nearly full now and nobody was down, I directed Qoheleth's healing to Qaba, hope that's alright. This restores Qaba for 6 healing.

With most vangals dead or dying, Ptekme jumped down and next to the Vangal alpha. Before he was able to claw it though, Bontar came running. Bontar's reckless attack showed by his maul swinging wildly before bringing it down on the vangal. Seconds later Ptekme's mandibles tried to bite down on the beast, venom coming out as he did so.

Meanwhile Faldar run up further and summoned holy fire to burn away the alpha.

Samon's club proves to be ineffective at fending off the vangal, which snaps its teeth and takes a bite into his leg. With a grunt, he kicks it off and staggers. Lazaar's fire prevents the one Ptemke brought down from getting itself back on its feet. Bontar moves in and delivers a wallop to the beast, striking right where its wounds just finished healing. Before it can try anything again, Greven crushes its simple mind and it passes out from the strain. With the last of its dying will, one of the thorns weakly launching from its back finds its path, impaling Greven yet again and adding to the pincushion scars he will surely have later.

Down the street, the mother vangal grabs one of her hatchlings carefully in her jaws and carries it away to seek safety. The injured hatchlings are starting to twitch and try to get back up, but without their parents to defend them they will surely be easy pickings.

Lazaar casts Firebolt at Vangal, dealing 1 failed Death Save and shutting down regeneration.

Vangal bites Samon for 5 damage, Bloodying him.
Vangal flees with an unconscious hatchling.

Bontar strikes Vangal for 9 damage, Bloodying it again. A thorn counter misses.
Greven casts Mind Sliver twice on Vangal, dealing 4 and then 6 damage, for a KO. Two thorn counters fly out, one hits for 4 damage, Bloodying Greven.

All active threats have been removed, and the hatchlings are barely able to fight back. The rest may be finished off at the party's leisure, and any attempts to pursue the mother will be done outside of full initiative.

The two remaining hatchlings whine and cower, fleeing back into the house from whence they appeared. Investigating the inside, it smells of unwashed wild beasts. There are remnants of shed skins, bits of cloth from unfortunate Raamites used to make nests, and the gnawed bones of perhaps those same victims. The hatchlings have buried themselves within the nest, where two more unhatched eggs lie nestled. Their regeneration factor seems just as potent as the adults, but their quills are soft and not yet hardened.

Faldar and Ptekme each take 1 Exhaustion. Bontar is fine.

When the dust settles from all the fighting going on, Faldars is sitting on one knee. Breathing heavily he gets out a waterskin and takes a long drink before slowly getting back up. He wipes his face clean, smearing some of the dusty sweat into his eyebrows. Without uttering a word he helps organise the kank and the carru, before addressing Greven. "We will gladly take you up on that offer, Greven. I think we all need some rest." Ptekme soon joins him, waiting to support Faldar if he gets to exhausted.

Bontar on the other hand is doing quite well. After checking his equipment he calls out to Zantos. "If you need someone to bump those beasties little heads, just call me. I think the suckers can take it." After which he joins Faldar.

[RandomWombat]

Rasha washes and bandages Samon's leg where he was bitten, while Qaba and Qoh go to try and coax the hatchlings. The two of them have lashed the once-escaped prisoner to the thorny back of the kank, where he will painfully jab himself with any struggling once he wakes up. The other two have, true to their word, made no attempt to run for it during the fight.


Approaching the vangal nest, Qaba tries to get the hatchlings to come out. But the little ones only back away, bristling their underdeveloped quills and making distressed, high-pitched growling noises.

Qaba shales his head, frustrated at his sad attempt to wrangle the little dogs. They are kind of cute before their quills sharpen.

"Sorry guys, my tricks didn't work. I'm going to find a safer house to rest in. Their mom will be back soon, so I'd either round them up or kill the=m if I were you."

He then leaves to find the others outside and see if they've found a safe place to rest.

Greven replied to Qoheleth, ”Lend me the power of the Grey.”

He added, "I will need rest at the camp."

Once blessed by the Grey’s favor, he pressed his consciousness onto the whelp’s minds one by one. ”Yield...safety...resist...death.”

Qoheleth replies to Qaba. "We will try one more thing, then rejoin you all."

The vicar gestured to Greven from the doorway. The emissary joined him, as did Lazaar. He asked the emissary, ”Emissary, sway their minds, or we must slay them.”.

More quietly, ”How are you, brother?”

Once Greven entered the building, he invoked the favor of the Grey and knelt with a bag open for the whelps to enter.






Qoh will cast guidance on Greven. Greven will invasive mind into each whelp’s head (if needed), then cast Friends (advantage on charisma checks for one minute). Invasive Mind allows one-way conversation to the whelp, or two-way if they understand any languages.

[roll0] + 5 + [roll1] Persuasion Edit: 15 total.

If they resist, Lazaar and Qoh will kill them with a barrage of fire bolt and toll the dead.

[RandomWombat]

With his psionic talents, Greven is able to sooth one of the two hatchlings into a false sense of security. Enthralled, it follows his coaxing into the bag. As soon as he releases his hold to attempt to sway the other, however, the effects fade and the creature attempts to flee the bag, forcing him to close it. The animal flails around inside, in a panic, while the one outside is now swayed by his influence. The group is able to capture it in a second bag, acquiring both of the little beasts.


Their conflict with the beasts resolved, the group is led by the Prophets in the direction of their encampment, nearby, to rest and recover. It has been a long and trying day, and Faldar is struggling now to keep pace with the rest of the hardened warriors and desert races.

Ahead is a cluster of buildings surrounded by a fence and palisade. Much of the material for it seems to have been scavenged from the old Ghost City fence. More Prophets, clad ubiquitously in the heavy shrouding robes their group is known for, go about their business. Alongside them are others, Raamites recruited into their following, the Watchers. Clad in lighter, more breathable robes, and masks, they seem to be primarily human, with the occasional half-elf. One of the guards near the encampment entrance is accompanied by a small desert lizard.

Tents of differing sizes dot the encampment. Just past some buildings to the group's left, in what was once an alley alcove, is a local water well. One of the Prophets is drawing some water using a heavy, old stone bucket. Past the tents are a pair of pens with large beasts in them, resembling a cross between a kank and a crab, many-legged creatures with fearsome pincers and mandibles.

Though his eyes may be deceiving him in the mystifying heat, he thinks he sees a familiar face among the crowd. A human woman with brown hair, shorter than he remembers it, is speaking to a group of what must be new Watchers and handing them their masks. Even clad in clothes much different from her noble dress, and with shorter hair, he could swear she looks like Ravi.

There are a few notable personages that the Prophets know of in the encampment.

The Kai Duron, one of Dregoth's Templar Commanders, typically remains in the tunnels below the encampment organizing the night raiders, who all live underground beyond the eyes of the surface dwellers. He technically outranks Lazaar, the Mar Ravoni, who is in charge of recruitment and proselytization. Typically, however, he leaves the daylight business of management and diplomacy to his Speaker, Algog the Bright, as well as to the Mar Ravoni.

Algog the Bright is the Kai Duron's assistant and Speaker, much as Greven serves this role to Lazaar. It is typically he who sees to the daily management of the encampment, such as distributing food and water and constructing defenses, while the Kai Duron and Mar Ravoni are engaged with their own tasks.

Psekothey is one of the more senior Vicars present at the encampment. She is a Vicar of Rain, and often uses her magic to provide extra water for the Prophets, as well as to cleanse any rotten or inedible food they find while scavenging among the ruins. Like the other Vicars, she is also one of the encampment's medics.

Vicars in service to Dregoth typically draw on the power of the Paraelements, whose Lords interfere less with personal agendas and grudges than do the Elemental Lords. The most common are those of Dust and Rain.

The Shepard is the highest ranking and most trusted Watcher, responsible for welcoming new Watchers and familiarizing them with the path.

When arriving at the camp, Faldar sighs in relief. "I think we're safe for now." he says. Looking around though, it occurs to him that these are indeed a very different people then what he is used to. He takes action on that insight and adresses the others. "Bontar, Ptekme, and you too Zantos. I'd like you to stick close. I have no former experience with this group and even though Greven and his men seem amiable to us at least, that doesn't mean that their organisation is." Next Faldar moves over to Greven, followed closely by Bontar. "Thank you for allowing us to make use of your campsite to rest. My earlier offer still stands of course, and I'd love to entertain you for a nice evening at my house, but now is more a time for rest and recuperation. You never told me what your standing is with the prophets. Perhaps you could tell us a bit more over dinner? But all friendly exchanges aside, where can we put down and rest? Mind you, we didn't bring any camping gear or food as we didn't expect to be out for more then a day." Bontar interjects. "This many attacks on one day isn't normal. Our presents used to keep trouble away. The city is bursting with problems." he says as he shakes his head in disgust.

As they speculate a bit on the reason for the attacks and the trouble, Faldar suddenly spots a girl. A girl who he knows. If it's her of course. He stares for several seconds before stepping out of the conversation and calling her as he walks up to her. "RAVI! Ravi!, is it really you? What are you doing here, in this camp. ... I ... I ... I thought you were dead..."

He left the appropriate answer to his Speaker.

Greven listened to the Mar Ravoni and replied, ”It shall be as you say, Mar Ravoni.”

He addressed Faldar and the others, "The Mar Ravoni welcomes you to our refuge from the anarchy of the City. He thanks you greatly, nobleman Faldar, for your offer, and we shall gladly join you at your abode on the morrow.

"The Vicar of Dust will guide you to where you may rest for the evening. He will introduce you to Shephard, who can answer any and all questions concerning conduct within the brotherhood of the Prophets. We have sufficient water and rations for our honored guests. Mar Ravoni will return to converse with you shortly. He has matters to conclude with the other leaders before we may rejoin you."

Once he concluded this introduction, the emissary departed with Lazaar. He addressed any salutations on Mar Ravoni's behalf. "And the Dawn uplift you!"

Qoheleth listened to the various questions, and he replied. "A guest house will be prepared for you, along with any refreshments you require. I will show you the way, and bring a vicar to tend to any wounds you bear."

The vicar then spoke to the two new Watchers, ”Watchers, follow me to meet Shephard. He will find a vicar to treat your wounds.”.






Qoh is on hospitality duty while Lazaar checks in with Agog via Greven.

[RandomWombat]

As the Mar Ravoni walks forwards, the guards bow deferentially and greet him. They barely seem to question the presence of others alongside their returning party. One of them tenses up as Faldar bolts forwards, but eases her stance when it becomes clear he has seen someone he recognizes.

Rasha and Samon fall into step behind the others, Samon limping slightly on his bitten leg. Rasha stops to inform one of the guards, "We have prisoners. Where should they be taken?"

The Prophets' guard looks to Greven for context and guidance and inquires, "Speaker?"


After the issue is dealt with and the prisoners handed off to be taken, the two Watchers accompany Qoheleth and the others to meet with the Shepard. Faldar is several steps ahead of them.

When the nobleman appears, Ravi looks over in astonishment, and then her face lights up. "One moment, my friends. It appears we have guests," she informs the new Watchers, handing the last of them his mask and then stepping past to meet Faldar. "Faldar! I hoped you remained well." She takes his hands in her own. "I was nearly dead, very nearly. But that is a story for later. You are friends of the Mar Ravoni?" she asks, watching as Lazaar passes by deeper into the camp.

Rasha and Samon approach together. As ever, Rasha takes the lead, bowing to the Shepard. Samon gets jabbed with an elbow and follows suit. "We have come to join your number," she explains, trying to sound formal. "I am Rasha, and this is Samon, my companion."

"An honor," he says, awkwardly. He turns a bit to hide his burn marks.

"Welcome, to the both of you. I will be happy to show you the Path," Ravi answers them.


A pair of Prophets, one of them a Vicar with a Silt totem, lead the elves to one of the nearby houses that have been repurposed as part of the encampment. The one not wearing a totem bows to them and speaks in a lisping accent. "We are pleassed to welcome you. This housse is ussed to sshelter thosse who sseek ssuccor from the uncssertainty of the outsside."

It is a humble affair, with cots and blankets laid out on the floor and a currently empty wash basin in the corner. The cots at least look more comfortable than the ones the bunkhouse back in the Ghost City had afforded. The Vicar walks over to one of the cots and kneels down, unfurling a first aid kit. "Come," he says simply, motioning for the first to approach who needs healing.


Advancing through the camp, greeted with bows and practiced, ceremonial words of greeting, Lazaar makes his way to the bank of the encampment. The camp is near to the northwestern wall, and it looms beyond their own makeshift fortifications. But of course the true extent of their operation stretches out below. The two guards in front of the tent, one of them a Vicar of Magma, part the cloth flaps for him to pass through.

Inside, Algog is standing in bright white robes stained around the hems with the dust of the city's streets, and wearing a ceramic mask that hides his facial features. He is standing over a table where a map of the city is sprawled out, marked with differently colored pins. Across from him is one of the guards, giving a routine report of security in the area. - a pack of vangals has moved into the district. We are preparing an extermination team..." he drifts off his thought to bow and greet the Mar Ravoni. The Day break before you, Mar Ravoni.

Algog the Bright turns with a swish of his long sleeves and bows with a flourish, following the guard's greeting with one of his own. "Gladly our Paths meet, Mar Ravoni. You walk it with a purpose...?" he notes the intent in Lazaar's stride and awaits his superior's intent.

Lazaar waited for Greven to answer the guards and Agog. Then he addressed the Kai Duron's Speaker, for a Speaker is worthy to hear as well as to speak. "I do come with purpose, Voice of Kai Duron. The silt shifts, as the Vicar of Dust would say. We encountered the recruiters of Krono's Killers near the north gate."

He waited for Greven to point the location, then proceeded. "We also met an heir of Lufi with his elven mercenaries, who joined us by chance and bolstered our purge of Krono's men. Krono's recruiters grow overbold in the Ghost City, but now they may learn humility."

"This outpost we left in dust and ruin, but it will serve well whoever reclaims it." The Mar Ravoni left the implied tasking for Agog to read.

"I will head into the noble district with the nobleman tomorrow. While I cultivate the relationship with the nobleman and the elves, the prisoners are yours to question. Krono's gangers remain steadfast to his cause, a proud, but vain, sentiment. The rabble may yet bend and become watchers if treated well."

He looked at the arena and commented, "This may be the way of sifting for the Killers. The fanatics will die around their master, and the rabble learn serve under us of a necessity. Perhaps the Kai Duron would remind them to hide within their walls in which they vainly trust."

Greven listened to Lazaar's summation and appraisal, adding, ”Your reports on vangals are correct. We slew a pack, which yielded two whelps for training. Qoheleth has handed them over to the Shepherdess.”

He conjured a false stone statue of the one would-be Watcher who fled, "We added a few ghosts to the Watchers, but one showed his craven heart in the face of the Killers. The guards should capture him if he begs at the gate. If they bury him to his neck in sand turned to glass, then everyone can see the folly of fleeing the Prophets and hear what lies in such fool's hearts.

"The woman proved the most promising, as both a warrior and a leader. We will be interested to see what becomes of her in the Shepherd's hands."

Qoheleth oversaw the various necessities for the group, as well as ensured the Kank, Carru, and vangal whelps received attention. Once satisfied that the matters were in hand, the vicar returned to the guest house and asked Faldar and Zantos, "Do you and your warriors have all that you require? I hope you find the accommodations comfortable, though they are not what you have in your district, nobleman."

Zantos allows his crew to be healed first. While they are being treated by the vicar, Zantos arranges their gear next to the cots and addresses the other prophet.

"This seems like a nice enough place. How do you like living here? Do they treat you well? Are there any groups in the city that have been giving you trouble?"

Even Zantos knows enough not to ask too much about their true purpose before they are ready to reveal it. There is no need to offend the zealous.

When Qoh enters he directs his next question to him, "Are we to stay in our hut for the night or are we free to join the others?"

Jiro talks to the vicar while he and Qaba are healed, asking about the paraelemental priests.

Qaba being more practical, asks more about supplies and rules, talking to both of the prophets as well as Qoh.

"Thank you for the place to rest, the food, and the water. It is much appreciated. The Mar Ravoni and his followers have been very accommodating, as well as skilled in combat. While we are here, is there anything or anyone we need to watch out for here? Or anything we need to make sure we avoid so we don't offend anyone?"

[RandomWombat]

The guard who had been discussing with the Speaker files out, allowing Lazaar to speak freely with one allowed to hear. Through the explanations, Algog listens carefully, face inscrutable behind his mask.

"If the Killers are ramping up recruitment," with his hands behind his back, the Speaker paces around the table, examining the map, "They are either becoming low in number, or they are planning something big." Raising a gloved hand, he twirls his finger over the map thoughtfully, as though seeking some inspiration as to what their plan might be. Eventually he curls it back into his fist and clasps his hands behind himself again. "I will endeavor to learn from the prisoners what he might be planning. With hunger and thirst to ply the mind, even the strongest of mental walls will falter."

Bowing again to Lazaar, and with a nod of his head to Greven, he concludes, "I will see your words carried at once to the Kai Duron, Mar Ravoni. Do you have further need of me?"


The elves settle into the accommodations they have been given, and question the Prophets tending to them. The robed preacher answer Zantos sadly, "Thiss cssity iss not home. I long for the Day to come, for order to return. Yet," he spreads his hands in a soft shrug, "We all do asss we musst for a better tomorrow." At the question of trouble, he simply shakes his head. "It iss not my placsse to sspeak of our foess..."

He answers one of Qaba's questions as well, "All have been insstructed to conssult with Pssekothey, Vicar of Rain, before drawing from the well. Water ssuppliess musst be consserved. Worry not for offending uss. We are well aware that you know little of our wayss."

Working on suturing and bandaging Jiro's wounds, the Vicar is mostly quiet. At the elf's questions he gives short, simple answers, seeming still uncomfortable with the trade language. "All follow one firsst. Lord assk little. Not sso conflicted, much."

When Ravi takes Faldars hands he stares for a moment, overcome by the heavy combinations of feelings swirling inside him. The exhaustion, the realization that Ravi is alive, the fact that she is now with the prophets. He needs time to sort himself out, before he can truly connect to her again. He quickly steadies himself. "I am so glad that you are alive, Ravi. The Mar Ravoni and I just met today. It seems fate put us in the same basket and we helped eachother. That is why I am here now. But we have so much to discuss. Visit me later, after I have refreshed myself and bound some of my wounds. We need to rest first." He let's go of her hands and turns away, before she would see the insecurity in his eyes.

With an attemt at walking confidently, Faldar heads over to the elves who have already settled in. Bontar and Ptekme follow closely behind, both feeling a bit out of order here among the prophets. Along the way he whispers to Bontar and Ptekme. "Did you see our new friends? They seem more important then I thought. It may be in our interest to work with these people. Try and find out what they are all about."

They arrives at the house a little later and have their wounds bound and taken care off. After the prophet helper has left Faldar asks Zantos. "Well, while the city is a dangerous place, this was a pretty bad day. How are you feeling about the job?"

After Qoh and the other prophets leave, Zantos is relaxing on his cot when Faldar and his crew arrive.

"What do you mean bad day? Today was fun. Bontar and Ptekme were amazing, and you were a great help yourself, sir. Not many nobles would be willing to get in the mix of that fight this morning. As for the prophets, Qoh and Greven seem nice enough. Lazaar is creepy but was great in our battles today. I think we should stay with them. We had 11 with us today, that's almost an army. With everyone they have here, they would make great allies. What are your plans, though, Faldar?"

Bontar smiles as Zantos explains the positive side of the day. It remembers him of other times, when the thrill of battle would make him feel alive and gave him a sense of fulfillment and worth. Those days are past though, and het finds battle without a purpose meaningless. At least, not interesting enough to put your life on the line.

At the same time Faldar interprets Zantos words differently. He looks happy with Zantos positive analysis. "Indeed, Zantos, we've found many good allies today. I am very happy to have recruited you as you have proven your worth not once or twice, but three times today. You and your man are a capable team and very mobile at that. Be sure to keep acting on your own initiative like you've shown today. I think your choices are sound, keep it up."

"Now as to the prophets, they have certainly proven their worth today. But I am unsure whether our feature plans for the city are similar enough for a long time collaboration or even alliance. I do know, that today we have found a common enemy. An enemy that needs to be removed for this city to start rebuilding again. I do see us working together on that goal for now."

Faldar then goes to rest and think over the events of the day. Ptekme does the same and sits in a sleeping position next to Faldar's cot.

Bontar on the other hand has another way of unwinding. He moves over to Zantos and starts discussing some of the fighting skills that he saw today, complementing him on it and working out what they can learn from each other. After which he will rest as well.

Lazaar listened to Agog's assessment and replied. "That is all for now, unless some events have transpired here prior to my return."

Once he concluded the conversation with Agog, he mentally instructed Greven. "Stop by the vicars for healing. Your service will be needed this evening."

The prophet then went to his private chamber. The dray unbound his veil and lowered it. Taking purified water from a bowl, he rinsed his scaled hands and head. Then he took out a rod from his possessions. With an adept, clandestine gesture, a sliver dislodged and pulled along a thin parchment. He continued to unfurl the scroll, reading the icons and glyphs contained as they appeared.

Greven nods in respect to Agog and says, ”The Dawn uplift you, fellow Speaker.”

He answered Lazaar, ]"You are gracious, Mar Ravoni."[/I]

The Speaker went to find the House of Healing, where he could receive treatment for his gashes from the vangals. Upon cleaning, he awaited Lazaar to reemerge from his chambers. The pair returned toward the guest house when the vicar of dust arrived, "And the Dawn uplift you, brother. Mar Ravoni heads to visit with the nobleman and his guards now."

Qoheleth conducted the daily requirements of his station, coordinating the care of the guests, the beasts of burden, and the new watchers. He also checked on the prisoners. Satisfied that the necessities stood complete, at least the more immediate duties, the vicar moved about the camp inspecting its current state in preparation to report his review to Lazaar. Agog may be a capable Speaker, and the Kai Duron a fearsome night raider, but the Mar Ravoni bore the pressure as visible leader. Qoheleth understood Lazaar required his counsel to remain fresh and honest. When Greven and Lazaar reappeared, the vicar advanced toward them, bowing, "The Dawn break before you! The camp remains quiet. Our guests and their livestock tended. The whelps will receive the training required to serve the brotherhood. Shall we rejoin them?"

[RandomWombat]

"Then it seems fate has found a way to reunite us," Ravi says, watching Faldar turn away. Her smile dims, but only for a moment. "Of course. Once my daily tasks are finished, I shall join you to catch up."

As Ravi returns to her duties, showing Rasha, Samon and the other new Watchers around, a vicar arrives to look at Samon's leg and a pair of the prophets lead the prisoners away to another building to be held. The kank and carru are brought around into the alcove where the well is situated, a place they can't easily wander out of and get lost in the city streets. Not that kanks are particularly known for wandering off.


After the group is given basic treatment to help their wounds recover, the vicar and preacher bow and leave them to rest. It's some time after their discussions when Lazaar and Greven arrive again. The Mar Ravoni has cleaned off the grime of battle and has a new set of clean clothes. A second vicar follows them in, to tend to the wounds of those who haven't been seen yet.

When the prophets walk in, Faldar sits up from his cot and swings his legs out. "Thank you again, Mar Ravoni, for letting us stay here. I've noticed you are quite important to this camp. I hadn't realised that before. May I ask you how you are organised? Within the city at least."

After listening to Mar Ravoni's answer he continues. "You see, the way I see it, we made the city a little better this day, by killing some killers. ... Pardon the pun. That probably means that Korno's boys will target us even more. Which is a problem. So I would propose we work together on solving this problem, and make the city a little better.

The Watcher flocks work within Raam toward the Day when order will return to the City, trusting his guidance.”

Once Faldar added his assessment, the emissary spoke, "We are grateful to have crippled the Killers' efforts. The Vicar of Dust rendered the outpost difficult to reclaim without the blessings of Silt and hid our activity there, which should buy us time to further our efforts. Krono's men did not escape to inform him whom struck his gang down, while we possess some of theirs to peel information.

Mar Ravoni considers our coming together a fortune sign, which we hope will hasten the Day that brings peace to the City. He agrees to labor along with you to remove this problem, and hopes this will lead to future collaboration. House Lufi did a lot for Raam in the past, and it would be good to see the City retain your family's industry."

Qoheleth followed along with the conversation, allowing the Speaker to relate the Mar Ravoni's mind. The Vicar knew his role, but also served the Silt which flowed across the ages as well as their Master. He added, "The Silt twists upon itself around and through Raam. Some rise upon its crests one day only to drown under its weight the next. Krono sits in a circle of stone, trusting his walls to hold back the Silt Sea. Yet, the people grow restless and crave order. It would do well to discover a means to break his hold or to hem him in his tomb while we grow our strength.

Faldar nods in approval as Greven accepts his offer of collaboration. "Indeed Qoheleth, we should find some way to reach Korno if we are to truly deal with his gang. I can contact some people and see what information I can find, but with the current chaotic situation, information ages fast. As to the situation in the noble district, ... what can I say, ... it's safer then most places due to some patrols we put on the street, but it's mostly for show. I wouldn't go outside at night. The Vespos keep themselves safe behind their gates, which doesn't really help the city. As to House Urvus, they probably make the situation even worse. All in all a pretty miserable situation and not something expect much support from. Personally, I believe we can only change the city little by little, with what little influence or power we still hold. That is also the reason why I recruited Zantos here. With the help of him and his men, we can accomplish much more then before." he then sits back down on his cot again, showing that his exhaustion is still present. "Let's discuss our plans further tomorrow. For now I really need to rest and recuperate if we want to make an impact in the coming days."

Their personal chambers are down in the tunnels, along with most of the dray, where it feels much more like home. Inside one of the guarded buildings, there is a tunnel entrance leading down.


For the rest, they turn in in their cots, getting some much needed rest after the trials of the past day. Throughout the night, all is quiet.

Come morning, the chants and prayers of the Watchers outside the building echo in through the thin wooden door, and sunlight creeps through its cracks and edges. Two shadows form beneath the door, and there is a light rap-rap-rapping at the wood. A familiar lady's voice calls to them from the other side. "May I come in?"

Bontar sits up, makes some growling noises and turns over, obviously not very awake yet. Faldar on the other hand has slept like a child, and is woken up by the thri-kreen who has been on guard besides him throughout the night.

"Uhm, goodmorning. Is that you Ravi? Please do come in! I'm still dressed, so pardon me if I look a bit ruffled. How are you? How did you end up here?"

[RandomWombat]

The door opens up and Ravi steps inside, flanked by a pair of Watchers. The three of them are carrying trays of food, which they set down on the floor of the room. The two Watchers bow to Faldar and shuffle outside, while Ravi speaks more quietly so as not to interrupt those still sleeping. "We've prepared some food for our guests. It is a humble affair, but I hope it's enough to prepare you for the day," she whispers. Folding her hands in front of her, she looks around at those still sleeping and asks, "Do you want to step outside, Faldar? I hoped we could catch up."

The food is a soup, some sort of meat diced up in a watery broth, with corn ground up into the liquid. There are some bones soaking in the broth to give it some extra flavor, but it still looks rather thin. Still, it's food and hydration in one.

Faldar signals to Ptekme to wake those up that aren't awake. Ptekme responds with a strange chirping sound that slowly increases in volume. He gets an immediate reaction from Bontar. "Noo, stop it. I'm awake now, .. I'm awake."

Faldar smiles at Ravi, and follows her outside.

Zantos wakes up in a cheerful mood, gets up, carries his bowl of soup from Jiro, and follows Faldar out of the tent.

"Morning everyone!"

When he gets outside, "What's the plan boss?" as he looks between Faldar and Ravi, not realizing that he likely just interrupted something.

Qaba opens an eye, sees that there is no danger, and keeps sleeping. The camp is safe, his gear is ready. He'll let others talk for a while before he gets up.

"Save me some soup. Wake me up 5 minutes before we leave."

[RandomWombat]

Ravi walks outside, leading Faldar just off to the side of the building they'd been staying in and leaning up against the corner of the building next to the palisade. "So what brought you out this way in-" she begins to ask, when Zantos emerges and slides into the conversation. Concealing any annoyance she smiles and returns him a cheerful, "Good morning."

Lazaar awakened, rinsed his scales, and opened his scroll rod. He laid this upon a stone table and produced a bone sphere. He held the sphere in one hand as he read over the scroll, focusing his mind on the faint impressions and grooves carved into the orb. He had cut them thinly so at to conceal the rubbings, his wisdom and means of emulating the cunning of Dregoth. The secrets to shattering defenses, erecting wards, and snaring foes refilled his mind like a flaming well. Once the eldritch constructs blazed in his memory, the Mar Ravoni concealed his tools about his person and headed for the surface.

Greven arose, grateful for the work of the vicars. His mental energies flowed with renewed vitality, and he leveraged this to form arcane music in his room while he dressed. The emissary then maneuvered down the tunnels to await the stirring of his master for another day of work. When Lazaar emerged, he bowed and intoned, "The Dawn break before you, Mar Ravoni."

Qoheleth rose and stood in the twilight when the world remained Grey. In this fleeting moment, neither the night winds ripped the heat from the living, nor the Athasian sun scorched their hides. The Grey provided a strange comfort to the living, a balm that would extend into death. This was the sacred moment, and the vicar prostrated himself in the silt and felt its embrace against his scales. As he chanted, the sands swirled about him, rising and lowering like tides on the Sea of Silt. They then settled as the Grey infused his soul, and the Vicar rose in power to deal with the demands of the day.

When Mar Ravoni appeared with Greven, he joined them and set about meeting with Faldar and the others. The journey to the noble district would be rife with dangers. He greeted Zantos, Faldar, and the Shepherdess, who seemed to be deep into discussions. "The Dawn break before you, and the Grey strengthen you. How were your rests?"





The prophets will arrive several minutes into whatever discussion Faldar, Zantos, and Ravi have, so as not to short change Faldar's conversation with Ravi.

Faldar blushes a bit as he feels caught by Zantos. "Uhm, Zantos, could you go and find the Mar Ravoni for me and start discussions on how to deal with Korno? Take Bontar with you as well if you like. He is familiar with the gladiatorial mindset, even though he doesn't remember much about his young days in the arena. I will join you guys shortly."

[RandomWombat]

As Faldar dismisses Zantos with a task, Ravi tries to start up again. "So, I think I was saying, what brings you to this part of the city?"


Down in the tunnels, members of the raiding parties bow and greet the Mar Ravoni as he passes. These dray are unmasked, instead wearing armor and dark, concealing clothes. Atop the entrance of the tunnel, an attendant is waiting with a tray of food for the Mar Ravoni's party, a ration of soup to give them energy to start the day. The preacher bows low, holding the tray above his head. "The Dawn break before you, Mar Ravoni."

With their bowls of warm food, they emerge into the light of day, at first stinging and blinding their eyes as they adjust from their darkvision.

Shuffling a bit with his feet, Faldar is obviously nervous. "Yes, good question. I .. We didn't plan to stop here at all originally. But after picking up a new crew, we got ambushed badly. Several times. The Mar Ravoni was ambushed with us, we fought together, and that's how we ended up here. For your sake though, I hope that's not how you got here. So, today, we'll probably move on back home. .... you know. If you want, you can come with us. It's safer, and less rough ... and I will be there. .." He then start stammering a bit, before regaining his composure. "Sorry, that came out to direct. First, please, tell me your story. How did you get here? With the prophets?"

[RandomWombat]

At Faldar's words, Ravi's face grows grim and she lets out a short, humorless laugh. "I am afraid I must disappoint you on one count. It was precisely an ambush that brought me here," she begins, hands still held folded together in front of her. "I'm sure you know by now, but during the initial riots, my family's House was one of those that fell before Vespos' mercenary forces could secure the district. I tried to leave the city with some of my kin, but alas, the gates were no safer. Time or blade has since separated us."

Steeling herself a bit, she gets to the crux of the story, "I lived for some time scrounging what I could. One day while trying to get water from one of the fountains in this district, I was attacked by raiders of House Urvus. I told them who I was, but they didn't care. I..." Ravi shudders. "I fear what might have happened, were Psekothey and her guards not out to collect extra water that day. Ah - you have not met her yet. Psekothey is one of the Prophets' Vicars, a Rain priestess."

With a sigh, Ravi shakes her head, "And so, as much as I want to go with you, I owe Psekothey much. She saved me from a terrible fate, and has been a good friend and mentor. My help here is the least I can do to repay her." Regaining some small cheer, she smiles. "But if you are indeed an ally of the Mar Ravoni, I am sure we will still see each other."

As Ravi tells her story Faldar feel anger boil up inside him. Anger, because he wasn't there to protect her, but also disappointment at the realization that she wouldn't come with him. It hits him pretty hard, but he tries to steel himself. "I can't believe this happened to you as well. The situation is worse then I thought! Those Urvus dogs, they will pay for this. You can bet on that, Ravi. They'll pay!" A long silence follows, where Faldar stares at her, not knowing what to say. "I guess, I was hoping you'd come with me. But it's good that you want to pay off your debts. I'll visit you from time to time, if that is ok. And me and the Mar Ravoni will be working together, so I guess may grant me access to this camp. It is nice seeing you Ravi. It really is."

[RandomWombat]

With a sad smile, Ravi reaches up to place one of her hands against his cheek. "I look forward to your next visit. Maybe you'll be able to stay longer," she says, lowering her arm and looking aside as she hears someone approach. It's the Mar Ravoni's party, and Ravi bows. "The Dawn break before you, Mar Ravoni."

[Bobthewizard]

The elves are in the room packing up their gear, eating soup, and getting ready for the day.

[Theophilus]

Greven answers Ravi, ”The Dawn uplift you, Shepherdess.”

He then looks at Faldar, “And you as well, nobleman. We hope you are ready for the journey. Our enemy lays bold work that we ought undo.”

Lazaar and Qoheleth stood behind Greven, freshly attired and shrouded as usual. The Vicar wore the emblems of fire and magma inverted under his Silt symbol, trophies of their previous victory.

Faldar smiles warmly at Ravi's kind words. "I will try to be here often, if my work allows for it. My house will be open to you as well, should you want to visit."

At that moment the Mar Ravoni arrives ending the conversation with Ravi. Faldars face becomes serious and focused. He realizes that today, plans will be made that could impact the future of his House, and of Raam. "I am ready, Mar Ravoni. Me and my men are ready to deal with this problem. I will get them and together we can discuss our plans."

Faldar then quickly heads off to pick up the elves and his bodyguards, before returning.

[RandomWombat]

With their group gathered, they begin their travels once again. For daylight burns, and night is no safer in the City of Anarchy. Beasts and worse stalk the dark, when the common man cannot see. But of course, some of the group's number know this all too well...

The old, weathered streets of the poor town welcome them outside of the encampment's makeshift walls. Today, no vangals or gangers arrive to greet them. A few surviving citizens picking through trash and rubble for anything useful quickly vacate the area when the large caravan strides through. Behind them, the Kank pulls its wagon and the Carru trundles along, following Qaba, who has its reins.

It is a little less than half an hour since they set out when they arrive at an old fountain, still functioning and running with water. Given its proximity to the Prophets, perhaps the selfsame fountain that Ravi spoke of in her story. To their left is a broken down building, that looks like something large and mighty crashed through it. Further ahead, across the western main street, is the Psiumarkh campus, protected by a wall.

Yet the group is not alone at the fountain. An old man with a thick mustache and numerous scars is being held over the water by a thri-kreen, while he takes a drink. At first it is a bizarre scene, before it becomes more bizarre when it is apparent that the man drinking lacks any limbs. This arms and legs have been severed, some at different points along the arm than others. The thri-kreen holding him is equally scarred, but has suffered no loss of limb, only a grisly wound to its eye that has since hardened into a jagged scar. Both men (if indeed the thri-kreen is male; Ptekme can tell that he is, but to the others it may remain a mystery) are clad in another curiosity: iron armor, emblazoned with symbols of a moth perched in a tree.

Neither displays any fear at their arrival.

Qaba nods at Ptekme and goes up to the insect and the man, wondering if the Thri-kreen is caring for this man or keeping him as food for later. He decides to go with thee first. Speaking in the common tongue, he addresses the strangers as he fills up his waterskin in the fountain.

"Good day to you both. Those are impressive scars. What creature gave those to you? The same that took your limbs, sir?"

After a quick nod from Qaba and Faldar, Ptekme steps forward as well and addresses the thri-kreen in thri-kreen. "Hello, fellow hunter. From what clutch are you born? And what are you wearing? I have not seen this sign before."

Bontar is the one to actually pick up on the rarity of the material. He whispers to Faldar. "This seems strange. They look like worn out gladiators, thrown to the wind. But at the same time they are unbelievably rich."

[RandomWombat]

The thri-kreen lifts the man up from the water when addressed, resting him on the edge of the fountain and keeping two arms on him to keep him steady. The man swallows a gulp of water and clears his throat. In an old, worn, wheezy voice he squeezes out, "Many wounds I have suffered... in the pursuit.... of Justice." He puts extra power and importance into the one word, as though a name rather than just a description. After catching his breath the man looks as though he's about to continue before losing his track of thought. "And... who are you?"

While the two of them speak in common, the thri-kreen uses his other two arms to fill a pair of their own waterskins from the fountain. He answers Ptekme in their own language, his grasp of it seeming amateurish at best, as if taught by someone who wasn't a thri-kreen. "I was made in no clutch. I am the Hand." He looks down, the darker eyespots within his large, bulbous eyes flicking downwards to the symbol as Ptekme inquires. "If you do not, you should not, know."

At least, Jiro can be certain it is not the crest of any city or king he recognizes. What it does symbolize is unknown to him.

Qaba notices that the man does not seem distressed by the insect and they seem to be cooperating, so he assumes the man and the Thri-kreen must be together. As he finishes filling up his waterskin, he continues the conversation.

"Justice is a noble cause, but there are many injustices in this world. Perhaps too many to count. In whose name do you seek justice? And maybe more importantly, who do you seek it from? Forgive me. My name is Qaba, these are my friends Jiro, Ptekme and Bontar. Behind us are Zantos and Faldar and the prophet Mar Ravoni with his followers."

Ptekme stares several seconds before figuring it out. "No clutch? The hand? Are you thri-kreen? We live, we hunt, we kill, we eat. I do not understand. What are you?"

At the same time, Faldar listens intently, sharing some quick eye contact and showing approval at Qaba's initiative. His focus really is on the conversation that Qaba is having. While Ptekme is communicating as well, Faldar couldn't understand any of it. And using a spell at this point would take too much time. Besides, while Ptekme has always proven his value, his methods are his own. Faldar still had trouble fully understanding the thri-kreen's mind.

[RandomWombat]

Hand watches Ptekme, shifting uncomfortably. In kreen he tries to explain more clearly, "Hatch, no clutch. Alone. Hand, they call me. Hunt for justice, protect." Finished filling their waterskins, Hand attaches them both to his belt and picks up his charge, using straps on the back of the old human's armor to carry him like a backpack.

"In whose name... in the name of all. For all of us!" the old man announces loudly, coughing at the strain on his voice. "Justice. Justice! Even in injustice... there is... justice! Yes! Just waiting... to happen!" The episode of excited mania passes as swiftly as it began, the man perhaps losing his thoughts again. Qaba introducing the group brings him back into the present.

"Yes. Names... did I tell you our names...? No?" the man nods, "I am... Godric the Unbroken! But they... they usually just call me the Torso. And this is... my faithful companion... the Hand. Tried... tried to give him a traditional... 'kreen name. But... never really stuck... quite like Torso and the Hand."

Lazaar watched the exchange with mild amusement. A half-corpse and a blind-kreen were another assemblage of the detritus in this broken city. He focused on how the noble and his men interacted with these survivors. However, he was wary. A man alive without limbs may possess a powerful mind, even if it was addled.

"Ask them for their leadership. I wish to know more."

Qoheleth continued to listen, but he searched the area around them for signs of watchers or movement. Two heavily armored characters, if half beaten or eaten by the City's chaos, likely do not work completely alone. He did not want to be caught unaware while the man rambled.

"The Head... my head?" Torso reaches up with one of his arm stubs, detached at the forearm, tapping at the side of his head with a bit of concern. "No, no. Still attached." Satisfied with his head remaining where it usually is, he latches onto something else Greven said. "So you too... are a seeker of justice? Would... would you like to join my army?"

Zantos approaches the group after Qaba introduces him. Upon hearing the Torso talk about justice and his army, Zantos tries to see if they might become allies.

"I'm Zantos. It's a pleasure to meet you both. We too are trying to bring justice and order to this city. Perhaps we could all work together for a common goal. What kind of army do you already have? Maybe your army should join us instead, or we could just be allies."

Ptekme retreats to Faldar, showing him the no danger sign. But in a sort of confused way. Faldar decides to wait out the ongoing conversations and see where they are headed.

[RandomWombat]

As the group converses, Qoheleth takes a few steps away to survey the area. The street looks clear, of threats or bystanders. The damage to the building nearby looks recent, but not immediately recent. Some bloodstains inside indicate someone was hurt, but there is no body.

Getting a look at the brick wall and wooden gate of the Psiumarkh, Qoheleth spies two glowing psicrystals hovering above pillars on either side of its gate. On an arch above the gate is a stone image of an owl, with a pair of crystals for eyes.


"Far be it for me... to deny help to... those in need!" the Torso wheezes out. He bobs his head up and down. "Though I... do have my own mission. There is a... an Artificer. One who makes... crystalline prosthetics. Yes. Very expensive. Unfortunately, I... seem to have spent a little too much. And now I... can't afford them."

Hand speaks up, in Thri-kreen, relaying back to Torso. "We saw, big enemy. Going other way."

"Ah yes, yes..." his charge bobs his head up and down, again. "That's right. A giant man... a giant man made out of salt. He was going south... The giant salt man."

Mention of the giant salt man causes Faldar to step up to the conversation. "A giant saltman? That sounds like it could be a big problem, both for ourselves and the city.

Faldar emphatic feelings towards the mutilated man were slowly pushed aside. While the 'torso' wasn't a threat, he seems to be quite mad, and fanatical at that. Hesitant to just accept everything the man said as truth, there was something interesting about the artificer. At least there seems to be some evidence for his academy.

"Ptekme, Zantos, some of you check for traces of the salt golem's passing. I want to be sure about whether he is telling the truth or not about this salt golem."

He then turns to the 'torso'. "Would you allow us to join you on your visit to the artificer?"

[RandomWombat]

"We just... made an appointment by speaking with the owl. The owl said... she said that he would come to the gate in a few hours, because... he is busy with... ah, something," Torso answers. Taking the conversation cues as a direction, Hand starts heading back towards the gate. "You are free to come along... if you'd like."

Along the way, the senile old man tries his best to answer the group's questions. "The masked woman. Yes, she wears a mask. With five blue gems... very important. Very important... we must speak with her, before the servants of the Dark One."


Hanging back from the others, Ptekme takes a look around the fountain and the ruined building. There are indeed bits of salt grains mixed in with the dust and rubble.


The rest of the group comes up to the gate, where they immediately sense a feeling of being watched. The two crystals floating on either side of the gate, as well as the crystals in the eyes of the owl, give off a tangible psionic presence. "You are right... yes. We must stop the villainous salt man from... from keeping all the water for himself. The people must drink!" Torso nods in agreement.

The elves wait in the background while Faldar and Greven try to talk to the psions' crystals. Qaba continues to look around for threats, while Jiro offers to help the Torso and the Hand.

[RandomWombat]

As Faldar and Greven announce themselves, a female voice emanates from the owl figurine above the gate. It's synthesized from sound waves, with a recognizable psionic reverb, rather than being telepathic. "I have heard your Godric. Professor Conagher is nearly finished his work and will be there shortly. Thank you for your patience."


A few minutes after her address, the group can see some figures approaching from one of the campus buildings beyond. The lead man has clean, combed grey hair and is outfitted in bronze equipment. Over his left eye he wears a crystal lens of some kind. Flanking him on either side are two green crystalline constructs in the shape of scorpions, their glowing eyes watching the group before the gate with mechanical coldness. Also accompanying him are two human men with psionic tattoos, wearing what look like uniforms.

"Well I'll be," the man says, as he arrives at the gate and sees the assemblage in front of him. "When the boys told me an armless, legless old man carried around by a 'kreen was askin' after me, I though they were pulling the wool over my eyes."

Hand turns around, so that Torso is facing the man. "Greetings, esteemed professor... I have come to seek your aid. That I may fight for justice once more. Alas, we... no longer have the funds to afford such aid."

Greven spoke cordially to the professor, "His peculiar predicament caught our attention as well. It is a privilege to meet a professor of the esteemed Psiumarkh campus in person. Mar Ravoni finds your academy necessary to bringing about order in these chaotic times. With your assistance, house Lufi could bring about much needed stability."

The elves stay back to make sure they are as non-threatening as possible. Zantos looks back and forth following the conversation, but getting a little bored. Jiro and Qaba try to assess the intentions of the artificer and his companions.

Faldar ponders a bit about the situation. He seems to decide on looking for collaboration in this matter, knowing that it is near impossible to achieve his goals with such a small group.

"Seems you have quite the conundrum here. To pay you het needs to be able to handle himself again, especially in the cities current state. But to get there he needs the treatment. So perhaps it was this mans fortune that we joined him. We could sponsor the man, and organize payment for you. He would then owe us of course an equal favor. Which would need to be returned before embarking on this quest for justice. And like my friend Greven here said. It would be another small step towards a stable and safe Raam. What kind of alternative arrangement do you have in mind?"

[RandomWombat]

"Preciate the flattery, but ye're barkin' up the wrong tree, hoss," the professor tells Greven. "Dean decides any sorta longterm alliances 'n whatnot, and he says we stay neutral fer now. That said, swing things yer direction, maybe he changes his mind." The man tucks his thumbs into his belt and shrugs.

Professor Conagher cracks a smile at Faldar's suggestion. "Well, if you wanna sponsor 'im, feel free. There's been some psions goin' missin' lately, out in the city. Not all ours', but things like this catch our eye, y'know. There's also that big salt clown makin' it a pain to draw water, like you said. So..." He holds up a hand through the bars of the gate. "You do one o' those for me, figure out why psions disappearin' or get rid of the golem, I'll take care o' the old man's prosthesis."

Making sure to take a mental note on the organisation, Faldar responds.

"Excellent, we'll see what we can do. I guess our goals coincide sufficiently for this to be interesting. A word for your Dean though. Staying neutral doesn't improve the city one bit. And I'm sure he wouldn't like some of these gangs to take over the city. I would love to delve into the subject with him some other time, but just ask him wether he would prefer House Luvi to win, or something like the Korno's Killers. Just something to stimulate his thinking on the matter. We'll be back when the deed is done, of course, but before we leave. Do you offer any other services that we should be aware of?"

At the same time, Ptekme turns to the thri-kreen. "Does Torso have honor? Does his mind accepts others?"

Lazaar listened to the exchange and mind-whispered to Greven, "Note their attire and mannerisms. It may be useful for our efforts elsewhere."

Greven listened to Faldar's response to the professor and answered, "Let it be known the Prophets devoted a great resource in the Mar Ravoni to deter the abduction of the talented. We look forward to the day the Psiumarkh invests itself into the enhancement of its neighboring communities."

Qoheleth watched and waited, mentally preparing for a ghost hunt and a golem chase. The latter seemed more likely to yield fruit, and the prospect of combat loomed large.

Zantos is intrigued by the disappearance of the psions.

"Please tell us what you know of the missing psions. Who are they? Where did they disappear? That favor might be more difficult to solve since we have no information at this point."

Qaba makes an effort to follow the signs of the golem that Ptekme first saw.

"Ptekme, which way do you think the golem went?"

survival to follow the golem's tracks [roll2]

As a ranger, this should tell him number, size and time passed.

[RandomWombat]

"Bless your hearts... you are good souls," the Torso comments, as the group agrees to help him.

Hand shifts and looks at Ptekme, still seeming a little skittish around the other 'kreen, as if he has rarely been around his own kind. "He is the most truth and justice person that I know," he tries to answer, in broken Thri-Kreen.

The professor professionally glazes over the attempts to persuade him against his mandate without directly shooting them down, and instead answers the group's questions in turn. "Now, I'm not much've a forensic investigator. But most of the disappearances been happening either 'round the north or south ends o' the city. Who or whatever's doin' it don't dare come close to us, and I guess M'ke keeps its territory secure enough nobody's been nabbed over there." The professor nods along to his own explanation, eye closed as he thinks on the details.

"Let me think, you'll want a fresh lead I'll bet. Last fellow of ours' that went missing wanted to go join them hippy-ass Peacebinders down south. Might be them weirdos are behind it, might be they saw somethin'."

Opening his eyes, he shrugs, as if to say that's all he has for leads. Finally, he answers Faldar's other question, "You well know I offer prosthesis. The Psiumarkh also offers its campus as neutral ground fer anybody wants to have a guaranteed civil discussion with one o' their rival groups. Some of our students 'n faculty might be willing to lend clairvoyant talents fer the right price, but if we coulda found who done this with our mind's eyes we'da known already. Mostly good for tracking down persons or objects of interest, but the missing folk are either dead or behind warded walls."

Salt golems, like all golems, are minor nature spirits enslaved by an arcanist and bound to an artificial body - though similar constructs are sometimes created by druids, using willing spirits with which they have bargained or persuaded aid.

Some types of golems using enslaved spirits can go berserk when they are too damaged. Salt is one of the more stable materials; salt is often used as a material in wards and bindings on spirits, both natural and undead. So it is a popular choice, above less reliable materials such as clay.

Most golems are highly resistant to magic, and their form cannot be directly altered by magic - Qoheleth's cantrip would not be able to manipulate a golem made of soil. Not that anyone would be mad enough to bind an unwilling spirit into something like packed soil. Some willing golems are susceptible to any enchanting effects that would affect their animating spirit, but enslaved golems are driven by programming that cannot be overridden by charms.

Salt golems in particular have a few notable traits. They are almost completely silent, moving on rolling treads of salt that shift around each other rather than large stomping feet. When the golem is damaged, salt scattering out from the wounds often finds its way into the eyes of its opponents, stinging and blinding them.

Their opponent will be completely unharmed by fire, poison, or psychic attack, and nonmagical weapons will be as effective against it as hitting a brick wall with your sword. A weapon such as Bontar's stone maul may have better fortune putting a dent in the golem.

One ray of light does come to Jiro: golems cannot heal naturally. The golem would need to be repaired, and with no creator or caretakers around any damage it takes will continue to mount until it eventually falls.

The trail of salt leads through the broken building, curves around a few others, and goes south along the eastern wall of the Psiumarkh campus. One detail that Qoheleth never picked up is that the golem's trail seemed to have hidden more tracks beneath it. Qaba guesses that there were about three human-sized individuals that the golem was chasing.

Qaba can easily maintain following the trail, but may wish to wait for the others rather than wander off alone.

Qaba looks to Zantos, holding up a few grains of salt mixed with the dust. "Boss, we don't need clairvoyance to follow this thing. It left obvious tracks. So did the three people it was chasing. If we go this way, we should be able to catch up to it."

Zantos smiles at his friend. "Nice work Qaba. Everyone, shall we go hunt a salt golem."

Jiro starts to rattle off everything he knows about salt golems. Most relevant is the resistance to weapons, which he waits to tell the group until after they have left the psions, "Your maul might be enough, Bontar. And sir, your summoned weapons should work, but otherwise arrows and swords are useless. We'll need to rely on magic and psionics. Fortunately we have an abundance of those."

Everyone can read the Jiro spoiler above about salt golems, assuming he just keeps going on about them as we follow the trail

Faldar nods at everyone's suggestions.

"Indeed, going after the salt golem seems like the most directly solvable. Bontar can swing a mean maul, but we better keep the salt golem focused away from Bontar. Perhaps we can rotate fighters, switching them out when they get hit. Dodging could be important here. Lead the way Qaba!"

[RandomWombat]

Their deal forged, the professor retreats once more into the campus grounds, as the group circles around the wall after Qaba. The trail leads them beyond the Psiumarkh, into the disorganized streets of the elven district. Unlike the meticulously blocked and uniform houses of the rest of the city, the elven district is its own beast. The streets twist around buildings seemingly thrown up where there was room - not only sandstone and clay, but tents and ankheg-chitin shanties.

Yet Qaba confirms that the tracks they are tracing are not elves. For one, they are too close together. An elf running from danger would leave huge strides. These seem to pause from time to time, as if to allow the golem to catch up - what kind of fool notion would have them do that?

After more travel, they come into the elven market and hear shouts from deeper in. There are spaces of differently shaded earth beneath which rugs and carpets were once laid in the street, alongside bazaar booths and shops. Places where elves would sell things that they or their clans had scavenged - or, often, stolen - out in the wastes.

Coming upon a loosely fenced in square with fenceposts that at one time were for hitching kanks and other riding beasts, the group finds their quarry in the midst of a chaotic brawl. Among the abandoned booths, and atop some of the buildings, are elven warriors. But not only elves; raiders in Urvus colors are scattered around, one of them lying broken in front of the golem, which is riddled with useless arrows.

An elf is sitting against the fence near where the group enters the scene, unconscious and with a bone handaxe lodged in his gut. Just past him, an Urvus bard is standing on a bazaar table, shouting orders to raiders surrounding a large, elven tavern, using the confusion inflicted by the golem's appearance as cover. On the front of the tavern is a sign that reads 'The Dust in the Wind'.

Seeing the colors on Faldar's pack kank, the bard gets a wicked grin and holds up his arms to the others, shouting, "Reinforcements from House Lufi! Push hard, my boys!"


Standing from pounding its victim into paste, the Salt Golem begins stomping after another of the Urvus raiders, who's gotten into a standoff with an elf.

"Onwards, Hand!" Torso points his stubs at the Salt Golem. "Bring me closer, that I may bite it!"

Salt Golem moves.

Everyone goes together, so the party can take their actions and I'll have T&H act after them.

Salt Golem - 18
Bobthewizard - 16.6
Torso & The Hand - 13
Moranica - 12.6
Theophilus - 11.6
Night Runners - 8.7
House Urvus - 8.5

Initiative has begun due to combat already being 'on' when they arrive.

As we wanted to try block initiative, I have rolled average for each faction and each player's trio.

Zantos isn't quite sure what to make of the scene or whose side we should be on. It's all chaos. He knows we should destroy the golem but isn't sure who will attack us if we try. He looks to his left past the Torso and addresses Faldar, "Well boss, what should we do?"

Jiro stops and mutters a short prayer, looking at Faldar, Bontar and Zantos as he does so, then steps back and draws his bow.

Qaba knows his arrows and axes wouldn't work against the golem, but they should still be effective against the humans and elves. He moves to his right and floats up to the top of the roof. "I'll keep an eye out from up here."

Zantos casts Armor of Agathys on himself in preparation.

Jiro casts bless on Zantos, Faldar and Bontar (add 1d4 to all attacks and saves).

Qaba casts Levitate on himself, gets to the top of the building to his right (map left), and continues to concentrate on it so he can move without using another action. He should be on roof but I couldn't leave his token there.

When they arIve Faldar takes in the scene. He did not expect to see House Urvus here. They could cause a problem. Good news was that the Salt golem was here. He wondered if it was fighting for any of the two groups.

Faldar hesitates for a moment, but snaps out of it when Zantos asks him for direction. the elves we didn't come here to fight them. We are not raiders. They'll take it better from another elf."

Faldar then tells Bontar to wait a moment before engaging the salt golem and for Ptekme to stay close, while walking over to the dying elf. He addresses the Urvus bard.

"Quickly, we must take out the salt golem first. Have your men destroy the golem!
"

Faldar uses suggestion on the bars to order his men to attack the golem.
Bontar moves within 40 ft of the golem.
Ptekme stays with Faldar, assuming there's no place to hide near Faldar.

Lazaar commanded Greven, "Subdue the golem. Qoheleth will aide you."

He then arcanely whispered to Qoheleth, “Ward and grant the Grey’s Wisdom to Greven.”

Qoheleth moved to follow Greven as he advanced. The priest invoked the shadow of the Grey and its unfathomable knowledge to protect and bolster the emissary. He then moved back behind the bulk of Bontar. He advised, "If he fails, prepare to defend the emissary."

Greven strode to the fore and drove his mind into the golem’s, commanding, "Heed, servant. Your master has need of you."

A stone pillar adorned in spikes then swallowed the veiled prophet.


Lazaar casts message to Qoheleth and shifts the defilement 30ft down toward the nearest wilder.

Greven moves forward, invasive minds as a BA (if the golem understands a language it can reply). After Qoheleth casts Guidance on him, he attempts to command the golem. Either way, casts Minor Illusion to conceal himself.

Qoheleth casts Guidance followed by Sanctuary on Greven (BA. Anyone targeting Greven must make a DC 12 Wis save or choose a new target. If they cannot choose a new target, their spell or attack is wasted). He then moved back the remainder of his movement.

Greven’s charisma (persuasion) if able to cajole the golem into service: [roll0] [roll1] Result: 16

[RandomWombat]

The bard clutches the side of his head as Faldar's psychic grasp invades his mind. He fights it off and shakes his head, gritting his teeth in indignation. "What are you doing? Don't attack the golem, we brought it here to help the raid!" Jumping from the table and looking unsure of Faldar's intentions, the bar runs around behind a tent with a squad of Urvus alongside him, moving towards the tavern.

As his mind touches the golem's, he feels a writhing, furious presence within, and a more measured, programmed presence. It is like a rabid dog bound within a clockwork shell, moving it towards things that the shell's master has programmed it to attack or guard.

The clockwork shell does not seem to respond to his commands, and he feels the golem lash out at him in what must be some form of language. Its intents and meanings are translated empathically.

"FILTH! FILTH AND DEFILERS! YOU WILL ROT - YOU ALL WILL ROT!"

An elf wearing a symbol of the Wind steps out of the building from the door under Qaba. He pauses, looking over the eclectic group. He points a finger between each of them, looking equally surprised and confused as he pulls out a dagger with his other hand. "Elves, and, and... who are all of you? Are you friend or foe?"


The Night Runners elves do not seem to be taking the situation sitting down. From a tent near the bard's podium, an elf in modest robes steps outside and waves a hand at the marauder just shy of the golem. Fleas and insects begin to swirl around the man, but he remains steadfast, swatting them aside. A few other elves try to take advantage of his distraction to pepper him with arrows that land around his feet.

One of the elves in light clothing runs up and slaps his hands together, producing a shockwave that throws both the marauder and the golem backwards. The elf who the marauder had been squaring off with chases after him, keeping him locked down so he can't escape the golem. The marauder lets loose a battle cry and hacks at the elf brutally with his axes, breaking down his guard. Sensing movement behind him, the marauder ducks just in time for a massive salt arm to swing over his head.


Further away, one of the elves takes notice of something out of view and casts a spell, then retreats into cover inside the other building. A half-elven warrior moves up to the corner the other elf had been looking at and takes a defensive stance.

An elf on the roof turns around and takes aim at something behind her, loosing an arrow that is met with a cry of surprise. Another elf on the ground launches a series of glowing bolts into the alley behind him. He skirts around the bazaar table next to him and looks at the eclectic group approaching. "****, there's a ton more coming!" As he cries out, an axe flies past his head from down the alley.

"Back off, let the golem keep them occupied!" another elf, in gladiatorial attire, orders as he falls back to help another front. A couple more elves run out of the tavern building to help.

As the elves assemble their defense, the more battle cries can be heard from the alley, and the elven sniper on the nearby roof is shoved off, flipping backwards and managing to land on her feet in a crouch. A burst of flame from another raider above singes one of the elves that ran from inside to help.


It appears that more Urvus are coming around the sides of the building, as more elves rush to meet them, and the sound of breaking glass can be heard inside the tavern. There are sounds like roaring wild animals, but Faldar knows from seeing that they are the sounds of Urvus junkies ramming so many substances into their veins that they're driven into a blind fury.

Another elf gets yanked off of a rooftop corner by a lasso of crackling electricity, falling into the fray below.

Zantos casts Armor of Agathys.

Jiro glides confidently forward and announces in elvish in a loud commanding voice. "We are not with House Urvus! We came only to hunt the golem! Elves, know that the Prophets and House Lufi will help you fight off these illegal raiders!" He then shoots an arrow at the Raider Beserker.

Zantos yells up to Qaba, "Cover me!". He lets out an elven war cry and charges the Raiders in the alley. Summoning a scimitar and attacking the Raider Beserker with it.

Seeing the Raiders on the roof, Qaba moves to the middle of the roof of his building, firing an arrow at the closest Raider Wilder on the roof south of him. "Sorry, boss. There's two up here." After shooting, he drops prone to make himself a more difficult target.

The suggestion obviously failed as the bard denounced his interest in stopping the golem. "Sorry, but our objective is stopping that golem, make sure you don't interfere then." Faldar told the bard.

Faldar then gives Bontar the signal to engage the golem. Ptekme heads in first, getting ready to distract the golem, while Bontar enters into his battle minded fury and starts hammering away at the salt golem.

Lazaar surveyed the scene and noted the golem remained in its beserk state.

Greven mind whispered to the golem, "A waste."

The prophet unleashed a psychic assault on the construct's internal mechanisms, seeking to break them down.

Qoheleth hears Greven invoke his wilder powers and moves to protect the path for Lazaar. He calls to his master, "Negotiations seem to have failed."

Lazaar advanced behind the screen of warriors. The vicar then raised a dirt barricade before the defiler, generating a pit in front of that to break arrows and assaults from the front. The mage then intoned words of power. A painfully high pitch resonates around the construct.


Greven casts mind sliver as a BA (ending sanctuary) utilizing his wild talent. He then casts Dissonant Whispers if the golem seems affected by psychic damage. If not affected by psychic energy, he casts Chill touch.
--Mind Sliver: DC 13 Int save or take [roll0] psychic damage
--Dissonant Whispers: DC 13 Wis save or take [roll1] psychic damage. It then uses its reaction to move in the other opposite direction on a fail (which would provoke OAs from Ptemke and Bontar). On a save, it takes half damage and does not move.
--Chill Touch: [roll2] to hit, [roll3] necrotic damage (crit: [roll4] ) and cannot regain health until Greven's next turn.

Qoheleth moves to screen his master from the flank, (specifically moving in line of the Wind cleric). He casts Mold Earth to make a 5' high square of earth in front of Lazaar, with a 5' deep square in front of it (golden square is mound; mauve square is hole).

Lazaar moves behind the screen of warriors and earth, casting Shatter on the construct. It has disadvantage on the save. DC 13 Con save. Fail, takes [roll5] thunder damage, or half on a save. Center point behind Construct to also target raider and elven gladiator (yellow square on map).
--Distant/Sicken Raze to encompass hostiles and their spaces (grey square on map).

Edit: If the construct had moved due to Dissonant Whispers, the spell is centered to affect the construct and as many alternative targets. The defiling square would remain (unless no enemies remain in this space due to initiative; then the square shifts to affect the most foes without affecting friendlies).

[RandomWombat]

Jiro steps forward and looses an arrow at the advancing hulk of a man in the alley, who barely seems to notice as it grazes his cheek. When Zantos closes in to slash him with a sword, however, the long cut grabs his attention.

The two elves behind him move into cover and join in. The archer is still disoriented from the fall and misses her shot, but a gob of acid from the wilder splashes across the berserker, visibly causing him sizzling agony. Zantos' words and actions seem to have convinced the wind cleric, who moves over and lays a hand on the back of the sniper, restoring her poise.

The marauder next to Zantos winds up and drives an axe into him - only to find it stopped by a freezing barrier. With a roar of defiance, he lifts his second axe and pounds it into the same spot, shattering through the barrier, but there is little momentum left and Zantos is left with little more than a minor cut. The man's eyes bulge as the shock of sudden cold hits his overheating, sun- and drug-addled body, and he collapses in the dirt.

Zantos is far from safe, however. The berserker hefts a datchi club and slams it into the wall behind Zantos, who is barely able to sidestep out of the way. He clumsily tries to catch Zantos on the backswing, but doesn't connect.


On the rooftops above, Qaba lands a devastating shot right in one of the wilders' thighs, causing him to gasp and stumble. It looks like it could very well be an artery shot, only the arrow's shaft keeping him from bleeding out.

A few more arrows fly from elsewhere. One of them misses a wilder due to the cover from the lip of the roof, but another lands a solid hit, embedding in the other wild psion. An elf on the tavern rooftop seems to give Qaba a nod of acknowledgement.

The wilders turn to Qaba and move closer, firing balls of flame at him as they move. The flame flies past, one of them close enough to singe the elf's thin eyebrows.


Ptekme and Bontar run up to the golem, taking up positions to keep it from wandering away. Bontar's maul spins around and slaps against its form, which feels a lot like hitting a sandbag, but louder. He isn't quite able to push it through and knock parts of its crystalline body away, leaving him rather awkwardly holding his maul against it as it turns around.

Gathering a sharp thorn in his mind, Greven thrusts it at the golem. But the arcane mechanisms of its shell simply absorb the energy before it can reach the spirit within. Instead he summons a spectral hand and grasps the golem's body, causing it to decay. Crystals fall apart into dust, blowing away in the wind.

Falder reaches out to the dying elf and psionically puts him in a healing coma, to prevent him from bleeding out and dying. Lazaar strides forward past him, the earth in front of him swelling into a makeshift wall. The prophet's magic saps the earth around the golem, gathering in the center before violently exploding outwards in a concussive boom that could be heard for blocks. Bits of salt crystal go flying through the air. Ptekme is able to cover his face in time, but it sprays Bontar in the eyes, causing a stinging pain and blinding him.

Through the still open connection, Greven can feel the golem's internal spirit harden from a frenzy into a cold, pinpoint hatred. As it turns to look at Lazaar, its threat assessment programming and the spirit's will seem to synchronize in one, unified direction.

D E F I L E R

Hand runs up next to Ptekme, swinging to punch the golem. His fist does nothing, but then shines with a bright light that erupts from within. This time Ptekme is not so lucky, and his compound eyes are covered by salt spray.

Hand spins around, and Torso actually lunges out to take a bite of the golem. An even more brilliant explosion erupts inside it, stinging Torso's eyes as he spits the salt out of his mouth. "Bleh, ugh, that's awful! Aaaaargh!"

The elf that emerged from the tent goes to his fellow, nearly fallen over, and picks him up. Soft green light flows from him into the wounds, causing them to practically vanish. He speaks the the gladiator in elven, and he nods, turning to go help another front. The elven healer retreats back inside, away from the crossfire.

From the other side of the golem, another elf chucks a gob of acid into its mass, sizzling and breaking down bits of salt. But the golem has eyes only for Lazaar, now. One arm bats Brontar away casually, as one might an annoying pest, and the shattering of bone can be heard.


At the southwest flank, the elf inside the building moves out to send a healing light into one of his fellows, and a swarm of stinging insects at one of his foes. The man staggers back, swiping at the air, and the half-elf follows him. She tries to stab with her shortsword, but the cold spell has left her shaky. The slingers behind her do their best, but can't seem to land a solid shot.

A gladiator steps up next to her, but his blow is thwarted by a parry from the marauder's axe, catching it and dragging it off course. The marauder focuses on the already injured half-elf, digging into her with one of his axes as bolts of fire fly out past their little corner.


At the southeast flank, the gladiator who'd been in the Shatter spell arrives, pulling a dagger and tossing it at the nearest marauder. The blade narrowly misses, in the man's frenzied movements. The fallen archer pulls a dagger from his thigh and stabs at his saboteur's leg, but his hand is kicked away as he gets to his feet.

The elves struggle against the marauders, who seem to feel no pain even as they break through the half-elf's defenses and hack her to pieces with their wild axes.

Things only get worse for the elves when more Urvus, accompanied by the bard, arrive from the north flank. A berserker's club quickly knocks their slinger out of the fight without any ceremony or hesitation. A bolt of light streaks out, hitting the gladiator in the back and marking him for death. Almost unseen, a tiny dart needles its way into his skin, its insidious poison causing him to waver and wobble on his feet.

Jiro shoots the Raider Berserker, dealing 2 damage after resistance.

Qaba shoots Raider Wilder for 14 damage crit, Bloodying him.

Hand punches the golem for 16 radiant damage. Ptekme is blinded for 3 rounds by the salt, this time.

Unable to get a clear shot at the Berserker, Jiro raises his bow a little higher and shoots the Wilder on the roof, before moving away, with a goal of getting to Bontar as soon as possible. "Everyone, stay away from the Golem. Let's attack it with magic from range. Bontar, make your way back to me if you can."

Zantos swings his scimitar, again attacking the Raider Beserker.

Qaba stands up to shoot at the Wilder again, before moving back slightly along the roof of his building. After moving, he again drops prone to make himself a more difficult target.

Jiro shortbow [roll0] for [roll1] damage

Faldar holds his breath in shock as Bontar is nearly smashed in two. It is only my moving with the blow that he seems to evade some of the terrible damage. Almost out of instinct he calls upon his healing powers and sends some of his healing energy Bontar's way. Then he quickly heads over to Bontar and Ptekme who seem to have gotten some salt in their eyes.

It is then that he hears Zantos talking to Bontar. "It's no use when he's raging like this. We'll just have to keep him up and fighting." Faldar shouts to Zantos. He then chooses to restore Ptekme's eyesight. "Ptekme, Stay away from the golem for now. Take out one of their leaders."

Having his eyesight restored, Ptekme rushes to the nearest buidling and jumps on top off it. He then quickly hides.

Bontar on the otherhand seems to be losing it. He shouts: "Die! You oversized teardrop!" He recklessly swings and tries to hit the golem.


Faldar uses healing light on Bontar [roll0]
Falder uses lesser restoration on Ptekme
Ptekme move & stealth [roll1]
Bontar rages and attacks the golem recklessly; disadvantage from blinded, advantage from reckless attack, cancels out.

Greven called to his master, "It comes for you, Mar Ravoni. Mirage."

Lazaar understood the call by his emissary, cursed the land under the golem by conjuring dark webs to ensnare and hinder it, and moved into the spiked pillar. Greven stepped into the open as he did, though he now looked like Lazaar. The wilder cast a necrotic hand to break down the salt golem.

Qoheleth hears Greven’s call and moves to aid against the golem. He struck at the will holding the construct together.




Greven casts Disguise Self, moves out of his pillar as “Lazaar” when Mar Ravoni enters it, and casts Chill Touch as a BA.
— [roll0] to hit, [roll1] necrotic damage (crit: [roll2] )

Lazaar casts Web (DC 13 Dex save): Restrained on a fail. Difficult terrain.
—distant/sickening raze. If Golem appeared immune last time, the area around the runner elves (near Zantos).

Qoheleth casts Toll the Dead (Wis 12) or take [roll3] necrotic damage.

[RandomWombat]

Jiro draws his bow and fires, but his arrow tinks off of the edge of the building above. It seems Qaba has had better luck, as Jiro sees another arrow thud into the raider's chest. He clutches at it as he falls over backwards.

Underneath, Zantos desperately dodges around the berserker's heavy swings, catching him in a vulnerable position and punishing him for his recklessness with a blade through the side. With a grunt of anger, the huge man slumps to the ground, bleeding. Zantos feels a hand on his back, and his wounds tingle as they begin to knit together. "Thank you for your timely aid, cousin." The wind cleric from before says.

The sniper around the corner behind Zantos tries to get a bead on the second raider above, who is mostly covered by the corner of the building. The elf hops up onto a table to help get around the cover and looses an arrow, but the missile does not strike true.

The elven wilder stumbles out of the sudden ashen patch of ground, looking back at it in confusion. However, he turns his gaze to the rival wilder on the roof and lobs a gob of acid, which lands on the raider's fur cloak. He quickly discards the sizzling hide behind him. Just when it seems he's going to get away scott-free, another arrow flies from the tavern roof and sticks into his back. The last of the roof-crawlers falls.


Faldar quickly rushes over to help Bontar back up, his healing light mending the worst of the dwarf's dire wounds. Bontar keeps flailing recklessly at the golem, chipping away a small chunk. Stepping in, Hand drives a claw into the golem's structure, his light surging into it and sending bits flying - this time, unfortunately, into his own eyes as well. The kreen recoils back, while Torso flails blindly on his back, unable to tell where anything is.

Spells fall around the golem, but none seem to deter its purposeful march. The webs lash against it, catching individual salt pieces and falling away. Greven's spectral hand reaches out, but ends up caught in the webs itself. And the golem is so single-minded it seems to disregard the tolling of the bell completely.

Punching Hand out of the way, the golem marches through the webs, slowly, towards Greven disguised as Lazaar.


Ptekme, still blinded by the salt spray, tries to jump onto the nearest structure his antennae feel. But to his surprise it is not a building at all, but a fabric tent. He lands on top of the cloth and his weight quickly tears through, landing inside. An elven voice shouts in surprise next to him. The kreen finds himself on the business end of a dozen stinging insects, stumbling against the wall of the tent and knocking over some supports as the elf flees. He becomes entangled in the fabric.


To the southwest, the elves finally seem to manage a breakthrough, bringing down the marauder in their way. More fire shoots out of the alley, but it seems to have dwindled since last time.


The elves to the southeast begin to surge back, though the bard's entourage proves hardy. The elven gladiator runs at the tall berserker and stabs at him, but fails to land more than a glancing blow as the massive man bats his shortsword away. One of the raiders on the south flank finally falls, and the archer who fell from the roof puts some distance between her and the enemy.

The wilder who'd been hurling acid at the golem sees his allies in dire straits and lobs some at the bard instead. It lands on the man's cloak, which he discards with a look of annoyance. "That one ruined my mantle. Ensure he suffers," he orders.

The warrior holding the southern line is suddenly surrounded by a halo of light, as the cleric behind her closes his eyes and prays. The minor miracle complete, he spins around and hurls a sling stone, which flies past the bard.

Just when things are looking up, a marauder nearly decapitates the gladiator with a dual axe swing, sending him to the ground with a splatter of blood soaking the dirt. With a wild scream of triumph, he begins advancing on the wilder and archer. His berserker companion steps up to the cleric, who cows beneath his massive size. The elf is mercilessly pummeled into the ground, crumpling under the blows.

The two marauders surrounding the last standing elf swing at her with their axes, plagued by hesitation and yowling in fury as the divine intervention stays their hands. One axe gets through, landing a gash across her arm, and she falls to one knee, trying desperately to cover her vitals. The bard's cleric walks up behind her and clobbers her in the head with a stone club, dropping her to the ground.

Jiro shoots at Raider Wilder, but misses.
Zantos slashes at Raider Berserker - you forgot advantage for the zerker's Reckless Attack, so I rolled it and got a 14, which is enough to hit! He deals 6 damage, and a KO.
Qaba shoots at Raider Wilder, dealing 12 damage and a KO.

Faldar heals Bontar for 8.
Bontar slams the Salt Golem for 5 damage. Remember Bless bonus as well, though it didn't matter here with his big roll.
Ptekme jumps on top of the nearby tent, tearing through the fabric and falling inside. He takes 1 fall damage.

Lazaar casts Web on the Salt Golem, but it passes its Dex save against being stuck.
Greven casts Chill Touch at the Salt Golem, but misses.
Qoheleth casts Toll the Dead at the Salt Golem, but it passes its Wis save. (It is not immune, just got a very lucky roll)

Hand strikes at the Salt Golem for 11 radiant damage, and finally gets Blinded as well.

Runners Sniper shoots Raider Wilder for 3 damage.
Wind Cleric heals Zantos for 10.
Runners Wilder casts Acid Splash on Raider Wilder, but he passes his save.
Runners Sniper shoots Raider Wilder for 5 damage and a KO.

Runners Dreamer panics and casts Infestation on Ptekme, dealing 2 poison damage. The forced movement knocks over the already damaged tent, and Ptekme is entangled and Restrained in the mess. It will take an action and a Strength or Dexterity check at DC 10 to work himself out of it.

Elven Gladiator attacks Raider Marauder and misses. He Action Surges for a second attack, spending a Superiority Die to deal 3 damage.
Half-elf Warrior attacks Raider Marauder, critically hitting for 4 damage and breaking her shortsword. She draws a dagger and makes a bonus action offhand attack for 2 more damage.
Runners Elves pelt Raider Marauder for 3 damage total with their slings.

Faldar takes a good look at the Hand's attacks and seems to realise something. He lifts his hand and a small halo of flames appears around the golem. As the golem stomps off towards the prophets, Bontar looks around angrily and seems to have trouble hearing the steps over his heavy breathing. Faldar quickly takes his shoulder and pushes him in the right direction. "This way, now he is at your right side! Try and hit the flames!" Bontar feels some of the heat of Faldar's radiant flames coming of the golems position and he swings wildly in an arc, as to increase his chances of hitting the thing. All the while blinking furiously against the salt in his eyes.

Ptekme isn't doing so well. If thri-khreen could blush he would. When he realises his eyesight isn't reliable he untangles himself and moves towards the sound of Faldar's voice.

Zantos thanks the elf cleric, "Go help your friends. We'll hold off the golem." He then runs over to the Runners Wilder and tells him the same thing. "Take out their spell casters and stay away from the ones with melee weapons." He then creates an image of Lazaar that appears to casting a spell, hoping to draw the Golem's attention. Since he is standing directly in line behind the image, he yells at the golem, "Over here you big, dumb oaf!"

Seeing Faldar heal Bontar, Jiro instead makes his way south to help the elves, shooting an arrow at the Raider Maurader next to the bard.

Qaba stands up, nods to the Runners Sniper on the roof of the building to the south, moves to the south and sees Jiro's target, so he shoots an arrow all the way across the market also at the Raider Marauder next to the Bard.

1. Zantos uses Misty Visions to cast a silent image of Lazaar on the blue circle.

3. Jiro shoots his short bow at the Raider Marauder.

[roll0], damage [roll1]

2. Qaba shoots at the Raider Marauder (or Bard if Jiro took out the Marauder). I think it's in 150' range but I'll add disadvantage just in case.

[roll2] disadvantage if needed [roll3] damage [roll4] if no disadvantage, add 6 for the crit (from OOC).

Edit: using the square root of the sum of the squares of the sides, I think he's 132' away.

The trick to the mirage was more than looking like the Mar Ravoni. Greven had trained to time his psionics with his master’s spellcasting. As he raced past the prophet, he listened for the cue and then fired a spectral hand as Lazaar tolled the hymn of the Grey. Ash appeared in a small square within the web. Meanwhile, the emissary dashed into the open to draw the golem back toward the clashing elves and nobles.

Qoheleth positioned himself to flex with the situation as he saw Greven circle the golem. He sought to assist in bringing down the behemoth before it could slay his brother.




Greven moves past Lazaar, casts Chill Touch as a BA, and dashes as his action.
— [roll0] to hit, [roll1] necrotic damage (crit: [roll2])

Lazaar casts Toll the Dead (DC 13 Wis save): [roll3] necrotic damage
—distant raze to a square in the web along the golem’s likely path.

Qoheleth casts Toll the Dead (Wis 12) or take [roll4] necrotic damage.

[RandomWombat]

The radiant light singes the golem, and Bontar follows the bright spot in his vision, planting a powerful slam of his maul into its center of mass and knocking out a large chunk of its salt. The salt is finally cleared out of his eyes by tears of rage streaming down his face. A skeletal, spectral hand flies past the golem.

Ptekme manages to untangle himself from the fabric and runs over, leaving the collapsed tent behind. The salt finally clears out of his eyes, and he can see again. Hand is blindly stumbling towards the same light as Bontar, but his claw swipes only at air. Torso finally seems to regain his sight, but is pointed the wrong way to do anything.

As the golem glides away towards the illusion Zantos conjured, Bontar takes a swing that lands wide. Lazaar can feel the impact shake the ground as the golem slams through his fake decoy, right outside of his illusory hiding place. If he could sweat through his scales, he would surely be drenched, and not just from the hot sun...


Jiro and Qaba line up shots at the wildly howling marauder. Jiro's arrow flies wide, but Qaba's impacts him right in the side. As Zantos runs off to distract the golem, the cleric nods to him and runs south to his comrades fighting at the southwest flank, calling out a prayer to inspire them. The sniper hops off of the table and takes aim with her bow as she strafes through the ashen area. She releases her shot, her arrow landing next to Qaba's. A third, from the archer on the tavern roof, drops the marauder at last.

From the sounds beyond the corner of the building, the raiders are starting to fall on that front. But Zantos is soon surprised to hear someone panting and shoving over a table behind him. The berserker is back on his feet, staggering towards Zantos. His wild swing comes close, but Zantos manages to sidestep the tired attacker.

On the roof, another raider has gotten up to his knees and flings a dagger of ice at Qaba. It stabs into him. As it begins to glow and pulse, the elf instinctively grabs it to throw it away. It explodes in his hand however, and he collapses onto the rooftop.


As the dreamer seems to realize Ptekme is not one of the attackers, he scuttles south to try and help. A swarm of stinging insects and a gob of acid assail the bard, but he fends them both off confidently. "Continue the fight," he orders the raiders, "I will get reinforcements." He says it with such confidence they seem to believe him, as he slinks away into an alleyway with his cleric.

The archer continues to back away, sending an arrow to graze the berserker as he turns to find new targets. Her decision proves wise as the berserker advances and knocks out the wilder with two swift swings.

Zantos continues to have the image of Lazaar look like it is casting a spell, but he charges the berserker to take him down again.

Seeing his friends both go down, Jiro charges to the west and shoots an arrow to help his friends.

Qaba lies on the roof bleeding.

Lazaar hoped the illusion’s nearness would keep the golem baited as he cast another attack on its form.

Greven continued to circle, throwing spectral hands at the golem.

Qoheleth heard the explosion of ice and turned to see Qabba collapse. He summoned a pillar of earth and charged up the table and column to mount the roof. He called to Qabba, ”The Grey uphold your spirit!”

He then hunkered down behind cover.


Greven moves further around the web, casts Chill Touch as an action and a BA.

As the salt in his eyes is washed away by a mixture of tears and blood, Bontar grins. Or rather its more of a snarly grinnage of blood thirsty rage. As he gets ready to hammer the thing again, Ptekme darts past him, while going for a flanking maneuver to distract the golem. He chits something to Bontar, but the sounds fade away in the onslaught of violence that fill the area. As Bontar raises his heavy stone maul, Ptekme reaches his position. And Bontar strikes down with all his might.

Faldar on the other hand takes a bit more distance while launching another sacred flame at the golem. He surveys the battlefield and sees that his friends are keeping up with the pace of the battle, albeit just.

With swift action, Zantos cuts down the rabid berserker again, and Jiro drops the Wilder on the rooftop with an arrow. Qoheleth runs past, shifting the earth as he hops up onto the table, and then springs himself onto the rooftop. With a word, Qaba finds himself fading back into consciousness.

The group's spells and attacks mostly seem to slide off of the golem as it begins moving past the illusion, only to be body blocked by Ptekme. The construct has begun to look ragged and struggles to maintain its shape as it lifts its massive arms to smash Ptekme into paste.

"To the left, Hand! No, my left! Watch out... watch out for the hole!" Under Torso's direction, Hand slips and falls into the hole, only to land on the layer of webbing above it. Torso snaps his jaws at the golem, but it's just out of reach. Hand finally clears the salt out of his eyes, as Ptekme dodge rolls around the golem's heavy slam, which shakes the ground.


The Night Runners seem to have held off the western front, and move to the east to stop the remaining foes there. A hail of arrows, sling stones, and magic fall upon the Urvus raiders. Even as one of them goes down, the other two charge forward, throwing a pair of axes that embed in the wall of the tavern.

Zantos moves to the east, hoping to pursue the bard before he can reach reinforcements. He dismisses his scimitar and immediately summons his pact weapon as a javelin, throwing it at the marauder. He tries to rally the local elves for a hunt, "Kill these two! Then let's catch the bard before he can get reinforcements!"

Qaba turns to Qoheleth, "Thanks again. This is becoming a habit for you. Finish off the Wilders over there if you get the chance. We're going after the bard." He then jumps off the roof and moves west, firing an arrow at the closest marauder.

Seeing his friends move towards him, Jiro turns and fires at the closest marauder, hoping this will help convince the elves to chase after the last raiders.

As the golem is now showing severe cracks in it's salty crust, Faldar decides to take no chances. "Bontar, Ptekme, dodge it's attacks. I think it's about to go down."
Faldar himself then fires a powerful mindblast at the thing, hoping to finish it off quickly.

Ptekme withdraws a bit, knowing that Bontar is better at dodging attacks. At the same time, Bontar tries hard to take a defensive position, but fails in the end. He takes another brutal swing at the golem's body, ignoring his own safety.

Faldar unleashes a blast of psionic force at the golem, which doesn't seem to slow it down at all. Bontar's hammer glances off of its roiling treads as it advances forward, threatening to simply crawl over Ptekme to get to its target. But two skeletal hands reach out from Greven and wrap around its broad 'neck', squeezing. The salt seems to shrivel and flake, before a light shines from inside the golem's chest, and then burns out.

Piles of salt collapse from around the structure of the construct, settling on the ground around an obsidian orb with a large crack across it, the golem's core - no longer able to sustain the golem's damaged shape, the core was fractured and escaped by the spirit inside. Hand climbs out of the webbed pit and brushes the stray strands off of himself and Torso. "It... it seems the Beast has been vanquished!" The old man wheezes in triumph. "Bring me, Hand... bring me... to the injured!"

The kreen and his charge begin making their way towards the pile of injured elves to the southeast.


More elven slingers emerge from inside. Against the barrage of arrows, javelins and slings, the two marauders are brought low. Immediately, the elves turn their weapons towards Faldar and his crew, but they do not open fire. Before anyone can do anything rash, the sniper on the tavern roof calls down, "Hold." She looks across the way at Qaba. "You, sniper. You are wounded. Remain with us, and the human...'s entourage," she eyes the strange assortment of people accompanying Faldar. "Our kin will pursue the raiders."

An elf in dark leathers, accompanied by a slinger and the mage from the tent, motion for Zantos to come with them in pursuit of the fleeing Urvus.

The line of elven slingers initially try to halt Hand, but are brushed aside and seem to recoil in fear from the thri-kreen, who shows no signs of fear or hesitation. To their surprise the insect bends down and places his claws on the worst of the injured, who emerge from death's door and begin to groan and stir awake.


"The raider called you a noble,"the sniper declares, an arrow ready but bow not drawn as she addresses Faldar across the field, her voice carrying down from above. "Who are you? Why do you fight your own?"

Zantos strikes Raider Marauder with a javelin, dealing 4 damage.
Jiro shoots Raider Marauder, dealing 2 damage and a KO.
Qaba shoots Raider Marauder, dealing 5 damage.

Faldar Eldritch Blasts Salt Golem, but misses.

Qoheleth casts Toll the Dead, draining the struggling life of Raider Wilder. He takes 2 failed death saves.
Lazaar casts Toll the Dead, ending the life of Raider Berserker.

The Raider Marauders get turned into swiss cheese, and we exit Initiative for now.

Zantos runs along with the other elves, letting out elvish war cries and howls to celebrate running, thrilled to be on the hunt with his own kind.

Qaba follows after them, enjoying the run but staying more serious. "Not without me, Zantos."

Jiro stays with Faldar to help with negotiations but casts healing word on Qaba as he passes. "May the water wash your wounds." Jiro then moves around to the injured, sparing the elves and slitting the throats of the raiders.

As most of the battle shifts away from the area Faldar asks Ptekme to take a look at the leftovers from the golem and collect proof of it's destruction. Ptekme goes and checks it out thoroughly. After that Faldar and Bontar head over to to some of the wounded to aid the Hand and Torso with their help.

When the Elf addresses Faldar he responds with a clear, but friendly voice. "Greetings to you. And congratulations on winning the battle. I am sorry for your losses and damage done by those raiders from House Urvus. My name is Faldar Luvi, and as you deducted, I am of the noble house Luvi. This is Bontar and over there, near the golem is my other bodyguard Ptekme. The elves and the prophets are travelling with me. I'll let them introduce themselves."

Faldar then looks around, eyeing up the elves, before speaking again. "We came here to stop the golem. Nothing more, but it seems like we were able to help you at the same time. The fact that our actions may have opposed those of House Urvus are purely coincidental from our part. Should anybody come asking I will decline any involvement of House Luvi in this battle. Even though my Elven friends may have been a bit overzealous with their aggression. That's what I hire them for after all."

"At the same time, I, or rather we from House Luvi, do not condone raiding. We are working hard to create a more stable situation in the city and this is not helping. By helping you, I hope we have helped restore some measure of peace here. Please tell your leaders that if their goals match mine in the future, like they did today, that I would like to work together again. And if our long term goals align as well, that we may speak of further collaboration."

"But enough about politics. If you don't mind me asking. Have these Urvus raiders troubled you before?"

Greven returned toward the pillar, extending his mind back to the Mar Ravoni. Lazaar whispered, "Success came on a knife's edge. Next time we encounter these constructs, we should devise tools to ensnare one for our purposes."

As he passed through, Lazaar stepped out with him. The twins then waited for Qoheleth to rejoin them. The triad moved as one to rally behind Faldar.

When an opportunity arose Greven spoke on behalf of the Prophets, "We have accomplished our ambitions for this area. We brought no special wrath for your clan, nor did we intend to engage house Urvus. Yet, our labor spared many of your kindred, and perhaps that may come into consideration in the near future."

Without turning to Faldar, Greven extended his psyche to the noble and mind-whispered, "The Mar Ravoni would like to study this core before we return it. The device could prove useful to other endeavors."

Jiro helps with introductions, "My name is Jiro. I was raised a slave and have no clan of my own but now run with the last of the Atoja-dai. We are working with House Luvi to bring peace and order to Raam. Faldar Luvi is an honorable man and will keep his word. Any promises he makes are true. We are also working with Mar Ravoni and the Prophets who have treated us well. We would hope to consider you friends after the joint fight today."

He stops there, leaving any specific requests to be worked out between Faldar and the elves. He continues to help care for any of the wounded elves.

[RandomWombat]

"I am Etain," the sniper says, as Faldar and the others introduce themselves. She watches Zantos and Qaba run off with the other elves, before returning her attention to the noble. Faldar's sales pitch doesn't seem to hold her interest much and she eventually interrupts, "There are too many words to say a simple thing, human."

Yet she makes a point of withdrawing the arrow from its ready position and returning it to her quiver, as she turns and lowers herself from the roof, then drops to the dirt below. A few more elves exit the building, accompanied by an older elf, with the stretched, gaunt skin that his kind develop with age. His hair is dark, and streaked with flecks of grey.

"Etain, who're they? Not enemies?" the older elf asks, in a gravelly, but not yet decrepit voice.

"They come hunting the golem. Saved us a heap of trouble, and their elves helped in the fight," the sniper says, as she walks over to the elder elf. She nods past him to where Faldar's entourage are treating the wounded. "Treat the wounded too. Don't seem schemey. Says his named Faldar Lufi."

He nods and walks over to Faldar, among the triage. "Then you have my thanks, Faldar." There is a bronze dagger in the elf's hand, which he twirls and slips back into a sheath in his sleeve, before offering a handshake. "Griff. An Elder of the Night Runners."

While he addresses Faldar, Etain eyes the Prophets with a bit of suspicion. "I saw one of your spells catch one of ours'," she says, coldly. "Somehow don't think you helped outta the kindness of your hearts."


Meanwhile, Zantos and Qaba pursue the bard and his priest, who fled east. Accompanying them are a few of the other elves, led by the one in black, who seems to be a higher up. "What brought you to work with humans?" he asks, while squatting down to take a look at the kicked up dirt and trace its path.

Qaba and Zantos can make Survival tracking checks.

"Lazaar" answered in a polite tone without remorse, "As we said, we came for the golem. We arrived in the height of your chaos. Any effect that happened to touch your men merely persuaded them to focus on your true foe." He gestured to the other elves moving about the market square, "None of your men fell from our work, and many more live because of our efforts."

Qoheleth added, "Whether or not you suspect kindness, mercy came to the elves, and some of the noble's men nearly paid the blood price for assisting you."

Mar Ravoni stood and listened, watching to see how his double and Faldar handled the elves. These he knew would be merely pawns to arrange upon the board.

Zantos replies to the elves, "At first, hunger and poverty. It was a way to make some money. But now I see that Master Lufi is the best chance this city has for peace and security. And not the security of a tyrant either. The security of freedom. I will introduce you to all of my companions once we return. For now, let's track these last two raiders."

Qaba runs silently with them, looking for tracks.

Faldar nods at the sniper and turns to the elder. He looks him in the eyes as he shakes his hand.

"Well met, Griff. I am Faldar of house Luvi. You know, as well as I do, that very little is done out of kindness these days. Happenstance brought our goals together and we took the opportunity. And you benefited of course. So I don't believe judging us is in order. Perhaps we can help each other in the future like we did today. What do you think of this?"

[RandomWombat]

"It is so," Griff agrees, as he shakes Faldar's hand. "Few can say what the future will bring. But I don't leave debts unpaid." The elf turns to some of the slingers and nods to the tavern door. "Bring the nobleman a cask of fresh waspwine." Two of the elves retreat inside.

Etain doesn't look assuaged by the Prophet's careful political words and continues to watch him carefully. "Jiro, was your name?" she asks, without taking her eyes off of the hooded figures. "Who were you slaved to?"


The elf hums at Zantos' reply, taking his words in and silently continuing the hunt as he and Qaba both pick up a trail. It leads to the wall of a nearby building, seemingly stopping. The elves do a quick perimeter check, and find no doors or windows in the small hovel.

Qaba notices that some of the earthen wall looks fresher and not as smooth as the rest.

Qaba looks to the other elves, "Can any of you break through this earth wall? If not let's go back. I will remember the location and we'll take care of it later." knowing that Qoheleth can take down the wall.

Jiro answers the question about his background assuming they know that Hamanu is the sorcerer-king of Urik, "I was a slave of the templar of Hamanu. I escaped to the desert where I met Zantos and Qaba. What tribe are you with?"

Faldar breaks a small smile as Griff talks about debts. "Thank you, it is becoming rare to find honor in people these days. Perhaps you could help us with some information. Besides the golem we are also looking into some psions that have gone missing. Possible such troubles have found your people as well. If you have any information on this, we may be able to help out."

He then waits for an answer.

[RandomWombat]

The black-clad elf reaches out and touches the wall of earth, taking a handful just to confirm it is no illusion. "They covered the door, but it's only a pile of dirt. We should be able to dig through." He tosses the handful aside and takes another, the other elves joining in.

It only takes a bit of work to pull away enough dirt to reach the door, and it becomes clear there's another pile on the other side. The elf spits, "Bah. Fine, go get your mage. We'll stick here and make sure they don't make a run for it soon as we walk away."


"Whichever clans we were before, we are all Night Runners now," Etain answers Jiro, looking to the other elves. She looks back to him and speaks in elven, "We want to see Raam become the first true elven city in an age. I'm not so sure your employer's kin would feel the same."

Griff folds his arms in front of him and closes his eyes, brow wrinkling in thought. "Missing psions? Some of our sensitives have gone missing as well. Only chalked it up to the city being the city." He drops his arms and looks to the east. "The missing ones not confirmed killed, were to the east."

The tavern being situated in the middle of the southwest part of the city, that would line up with the Psiumarkh's report of psions going missing to the south, just west of the noble district and east of the elven district, in the no-man's land between. It would be a far more chaotic place if not for the Peacebinders policing it.

The two elves that went inside carry out a clay cask of liquid, with a tap on the top and some stands on one side to set it on a table. Griff nods to it. "Your cask of waspwine. We will put it on your cart?"

Qaba looks to Zantos and nods. He can see that his boss is going to stay here to watch the hideout. "I'll run back and get the prophets." He leaves to go tell the others what they've found.

Santos looks to the other elves, "I'll stay here in case there's any trouble. Maybe I can help."

Jiro continues his conversation with Etain, "You are right, my employer would not agree to an elven city where other races are excluded. But he would like to see a city where humans and elves alike are free to live without fear of raiders or discrimination. Just as there are bad elves, there are good humans and even Thri-Kreen. If your goal is to eliminate or subjugate the other races, then we will likely stand against you. If your goal is freedom for all good people, we will gladly stand by your side, and we include elves in our vision. We think we can make Raam a prosperous, peaceful city for humans and elves." He realizes this may be more his vision for the city than Faldar's, but for now he'd rather propose a higher purpose. There will be time to sort out the details later.

Faldar nods seriously as Griff explains that they've had similar trouble. "Yeah, this seems to be a broader problem. I might call upon your help in case we figure out where the psions are, or who has been responsible. And thank you for the waspwine. On the cart is fine indeed. Do you mind if we wait here for my Elven friends to return?" Faldar asks.

Ptekme is still rummaging through the remains of the golem and Bontar seems a little on edge.

[RandomWombat]

Those rooting around in the salt golem's remains find no notable pieces of construction, aside from the cracked core. Qaba arrives, sprinting back into the bazaar square without the rest.

"If you find who has taken our people, we will gladly make them pay," Griff says, in a grimly committed tone. He looks up at Qaba, who doesn't even look out of breath from running back and forth. There is a wordless question as the older elf waits for Qaba to report whatever message he's clearly running; if these Runners know one thing, it's how to tell why people are running, or from what.

Etain continues to converse with Jiro in elven, "We have lived in human cities for centuries. It is a delusion if you think that these humans will run it any differently. If you can convince your human noble to live in an elf-run city, well." She doesn't seem to waste more words than she has to, leaving the silent air hanging with the thoughts that would surely follow: we could try, but good luck.


The elves with Zantos remain on guard, watching the cardinal directions for danger that might approach while they keep their quarry locked down. "Trouble is if a pack of vangals finds us wallowing like sygra in the mud," the dark-clad elf comments. "Templars at south gate keep herding wild animals to the gate, letting them in. Lots of beasts loose down here."

Qaba is smiling after his run. He hasn't had a chance to run with purpose in quite a while. He looks to Griff and nods in respect, and then addresses Griff, Faldar and Lazaar. "Gentlemen, we tracked down the bard. His cleric seems to have used the Qoh's sand-moving spell to block the door. Zantos stayed with the Night Runners to make sure the bard didn't sneak out, but we can't open the door. If we all go there now, Qoh should be able to excavate the sand and open the door. We probably don't want to leave any witnesses on the side of the raiders." He then waits to see if the others are interested.

Jiro lets the elf have the last word knowing there will be time later for more negotiations.

Zantos relaxes and tries to put the Night Runners at ease. "So where are you all from originally? What brought you here to Raam? Maybe we should do something about these Templars."

Faldar crosses his arms. "Excellent, we'll contact you when we know more. What's your take on Korno's Killers? We had a run in with them earlier and I feel like they might become a problem for the city if they grow much more."

[RandomWombat]

"I grew up with the Runners, here in the city," the black-clad elf answers, looking at one of the nearby building. "Never liked it here. I like it more, now." He gets a grin on his face. "All their rigid castes and rules falling to the chaos."

"I am from the jungles beyond Tyr," the elf with the staff says. "But my clan was slain by a tribe of the half-folk, and the survivors driven out. Eventually fell in with the Night Runners."

"Just a small nomad caravan," says the last elf, one of the slingers. "We joined the Night Runners when they put out the word."


As the Runners elves tend to the dead and the wounded, bringing the latter inside, the Prophets accompany Qaba back to the building where Zantos and the Runners he went with are waiting.

The elves keeping watch reassemble, as Qoheleth brushes aside the earthen mass on the other side of the door. As their group pushes in, they find an empty room. There is little more than a stone cot whose mattress has been stolen long ago, and a hole in the ground at the bottom of the far wall. It appears that Qoheleth's instincts were right.

Unfortunately, their Stealth checks to dig out and slip away beat the Passive Perception scores of the elves keeping watch.

Qoheleth spoke with grim determination, "We hunt rats in the streets."

Lazaar mind-whispered to Greven, ”Send the elves ahead of the vicar to take the bard’s traps.”

“Lazaar” said to the elves who stood watch, "You are more skilled trackers. We will support your hunt if you can follow their strides."

[RandomWombat]

The revelation of the burrow causes a stir, as the elves hurry to find the trail again. Qaba and the black-clad elf examine the ground around the burrow. There are some marks where they crawled out and stood, and slipped away behind another building just to the east, before the elves out front could spot them.

There, Qaba finds that the trail turns cold. Examining the ground, it looks much like the dunes after a strong desert wind has swept over them. Something has sifted the dirt around, covering the trail. Almost certainly another trick of the cleric.

Zantos looks at Qaba with some guilt. Apparently this has happened before where Zantos was supposed to watch someone and they escaped. "Sorry Qaba. We didn't see them leave."

Qaba shakes his head, knowing that he would have likely seen the pair escape. "Nothing to do about it now Zantos." He tries to follow the trail but it looks like it has been deliberately concealed.

Jiro looks to Faldar, "Back to the psions then?"

[RandomWombat]

With the trail gone cold, the group returns to the tavern, regrouping with the rest. The wounded elves have been treated and brought inside, and Torso and Hand are waiting alongside the nobleman.

"Bad news Griff, the guy who started it got away," the black-clad elf reports, walking over to the elder.

"Mm," the grim older elf grunts, looking over at Faldar. "Another fled to the south. They are quick to run and leave their pawns behind."

The escape of the Urvus Bards is unfortunate news, and probably spells trouble for the future. But the wagon is loaded now, and the golem core claimed.

Zantos, Qaba and Jiro all say their goodbyes to the elves, but of course it's Zantos that makes the farewell speech.

"It is nice to run with other elves for a change. I think this meeting between the Night Runners and House Luvi will prove beneficial to all of us in the future. I hope we all meet again soon. Until then, good running to you all. May the wind be at your back and the sand firm under your feet."

He decides not to pressure the elves into any more of a commitment. If there is to be an alliance here, there is still more work to be done to gain their trust.
