"Survivors? Yes, let us pray that we're not too late." Waylan calls for Auspice and begins to mount, setting a course for the stone buildings well behind Morevek and Filburn's scouting efforts.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
The heroes face a new trial in the wake of battle. Morale is almost a tangible force as the joy of victory mingles with the chemical thrill of combat and the simple joy of being alive- when moments ago it was not a certainty. All of this wars with the somber truth of great destruction and loss of life- even if not your own. Morevek in particular faces an opportunity for introspection as he bears so many apparent features of the slain.
The Tiefling magus opts for productive solitude, riding into the dark only a few moments behind Aron and Anevia, just before Irabeth raises the possibility of survivors.
The rest of the heroes trudge through the ford- the water is almost uncomfortably warm, but at least it'll dry quickly. On the far side, it soon becomes apparent that if the Tieflings left any guards, they were wise or cowardly enough to flee when it was clear the battle was lost. The squat bunkers are locked and barricaded from the outside, but unsupervised.
It's the work of a few minutes, but not hard work to clear the way, though the locks prove troublesome. Unable to pick them without Morevek's aid, the heroes call in through the door, and are relieved to hear human voices calling back from the interior. The thick stone doorframe muffles most of what's said, but it seems clear that survivors are within, and several hard, booted kicks from Filburn and Aurora are enough to shatter the lock mechanism.
Inside, the party finds a dozen survivors. A deeply tanned woman with a scarred face steps forward and volunteers to speak for the group. She nods respectfully and stoically. "I'm Sergeant Kamilo Dann, currently the highest ranking crusader of the contingent assigned this duty. We... are all that is left, I believe."

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
As the survivors begin to file out, Filburn leans over to Grace and whispers, "Can you look into their spirits and try to discern if any are cultists in disguise? I hate to do it, but we cannot trust anyone until we have tested them, somehow..."
Spoiler: OoCFilburn is asking for Grace to use Detect Evil on the survivors, just in case.
Afterwards he turns to Sergeant Dann and says, "Hold, Sergeant! We are glad to have found you all, but how do we know you all are true to the cause? We have encountered secret cultists disguised as crusaders and we cannot risk our mission. Keep your people together and we will ensure you are safe, fed, and any wounds healed...but all of you must stay together until such time as we can be sure everyone can be trusted. I am sorry, but these are dangerous times..." Filburn looks upset as he speaks, but his expression and tone leave no room for argument.

Grace was lost in thought as everything unraveled, survivors! she thought to herself, but nodded silently to the request, scanning the group for evil.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Waylan starts to object at Filburn's suspicious questioning of the survivors, but holds his tongue. He smiles at Grace's pronouncement. "There, you see? Welcome, Sergeant. By the gods, I'm glad we found you in time. My name is Waylan, and here are my companions..." he introduces them briefly. "We are here on a mission of great importance - striking a blow against the demons in the territory they have overrun. Our commander, Irabeth, can brief you better than I. Come, you and your men must be weary. Let us find you a meal and some tents in the camp, and then we may exchange reports." He looks up at the waning daylight. "I don't think we're marching any further today."

Filburn nods, trusting in Grace even if he doesn't really know what else to do. "Come on, Sergeant, I'll lead you and your people to the army. Once there we can get those who need it healing and hear your report..." he says, taking the lead and guiding the recovered soldiers back to the army.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
When Filburn and Grace begin to question the survivors, Elrembriel reflexively steps back, and turns her head sideways to let her pale locks of hair fall over her scarred cheek. This line of inquiry revives the painful memory of her "welcome" in Kenabres, a terrified refugee without a friend in the world, other than her beloved owl. On the faces of the people the group just rescued, she sees the reflexion of her own bewilderment and dread when she found herself questioned and jailed for being a danger to the community. The need for caution she understands in the abstract, but at the emotional level the pain is too much. Without a word, she walks out.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Sergeant Dann nods. Though she must be exhausted, she carries herself deliberately. At the head of a small procession, the survivors march out of the dark room.
In the waning sunlight, the truth of the matter becomes more apparent. Though generally fit, the men following behind their commanding officer bear haunted expressions. They troop across the ford to join the rest of the Knights, visibly relieved to be among humans and allies once more.
As you return you find some of the army already breaking out tents and starting cookfires to set up camp. Irabeth called the formal halt just a few moments prior, and news is still spreading. You lead the survivors into the encampment, and a few of them seem jumpy but stay with you. Others eye the tents almost lustfully, but likewise stay on task.
They all follow willingly to a meeting of the minds. "I don't know how much we can offer," Sergeant Dann begins, once the officers are gathered. "They came upon us in force the night before last." She glances around the small group, exactly a dozen in total. "Thirty-four of us were taken alive. Every hour or so, they took one or two. No one came back."

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
"We should go again, search for them!" The thought of anyone who might still in the clutches of the demons is too much for Elrembriel to bear, and she blurts out, her voice a touch too shrill. "I mean... Even if just to give their bodies a resting place, if they didn't... make it. Do you have any idea where they might have been taken?"

Filburn nods in agreement. "I can help scout, though we will need a tracker unless there is some clue where they may have gone...Commander Irabeth, did the army capture any of the enemy? Perhaps some of them can be convinced to give us a clue in exchange for gentler treatment...?" he asks, turning to look at the imposing, half-orc paladin.

"Steady, steady..." Waylan places a reassuring hand on Elrembriel's shoulder, trying to impart some measure of comfort. "Of course we will go and search, but let's finish hearing these men out so that they can get some rest. Sergeant Dann, is there anything else you can tell us? Were there any more to their forces besides the 200 or so we just fought? Did you overhear anything about what they were planning, or their objectives in the region?"

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
((There are two other buildings on the other side of the ford. There were no sounds coming from them before.))
The stout woman nods stoically. "We weren't able to tell much from inside that room. Perhaps if we find... any of the others, they'll know more. They did speak of a 'greater force,' occasionally. It sounded like they were talking about a demon, but it well could have been another, larger army." She pauses for a moment, clearly trying to remember something. "Ahh, Keeper's Canyon? I don't know where that might be, but that's where they said it was..."
Spoiler: Know geography, DC 25Keeper's Canyon is indeed the canyon where the Ahari riverbed meets the River Sellen. Your route takes you through this very place in a few days' time.
After a few moments more, she shakes her head unhappily. "I don't think we know anything about their plans..."

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
After seeing to the survivors, Filburn wanders over to look at the other two buildings on the opposite side of the ford. He's careful to be quiet but keeps the words of his invisibility spell on his lips, ready to be cast in an instant...

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Grace is stoic as they march back together, she tries to walk by them and converse, lifting spirits as she regales stories of valor and honor from the battle that liberated them, smiling kindly to those who seemed non-interested, and placing a comforting hand upon shoulders to those who had the 'look', she knew what that meant too much, and it hurt her to see others inflicted by it.
As the others ask them questions, she too is disparaged by the questioning, but as the checking for evil, it was a necessary one, and she steeled her emotions until it was too much.
She smiles at the sergeant, "I am glad you and your men are safe Sergeant, please, go and find some food and rest, it is well deserved." she said it as if it were an order, which was not to be brooked, for the new men, and old. Turning to the others, she noted Filburn had already departed.
"We should investigate the other buildings, and the potential for a larger army, or...thing a this location."Spoiler

Waylan scratches his beard pensively at the unfamiliar name, but then nods at the officer. "Thank you, Sergeant - that is very helpful. Rest now, and see to your men. We will go finish the search for the others. And we will deal with this 'other force', whatever it may be, when the time comes." He stands and exits, readying himself to ride back with Filburn and the others to finish exploring the remaining buildings.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
In the other two buildings, the heroes discover several unpleasant truths. Undoubtedly, much of the blood "decorating" these bunkers was sourced here, and while a burial is likely in order, it's improbable that anyone could identify any remains. Much of the carnage bears teeth or claw marks, and only the occasional leg bone or skull particularly clearly identifies the slain as humanoid.
Whether magical or religious in nature or simple feeding, the lost "survivors" were clearly butchered.
It's hard to imagine that 22 humans could have been disassembled into such a mess. It's even harder to imagine that any of the 22 managed to survive and isn't a traitor to the core.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Filburn barely avoids retching at the sight of all the cannibalistic gore. After taking a long look to ensure he won't ever forget the gruesome vision he closes the door. "We need to find a way to honor the dead, but after that I think the only thing to do is burn this charnel house to its foundations," he says to the others. "Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Ashen-faced, Elrembriel finds herself incapable of answering the suggestion. She turns away, her head spinning nearly to a faint, her shock too profound for tears.

Grace looks on at the gruesome macabre scene, barely a flicker of emotion on her stoic face.
Nodding in grim assent "Agreed, burn this place to the ground, our presence has already been reported by those who fled, If I were but a more powerful cleric of her Grace, I would bless and sanctify this place, be that it would be holy, even for just a moment as we pass to honor these fallen brethren." she mumbled the last part, as in an outspoken prayer.Spoiler

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
With the agreement of all those assembled, Filburn looks to Elrembriel sympathetically. "Can you please go to Commander Irabeth and request a small crew of stout-hearted soldiers? They need to bring materials to start a large fire..." He then helps Waylan and Grace prepare a solemn and brief service for the departed. Once the team arrives he then warns them about the scene and explains their purpose. "Let's do this quickly - there is nothing to be gained from this beyond some rest for the innocent dead. Hopefully the smell will not be any worse than that of the enemy's dead..."
Filburn watches the building burn until the fire is certain to burn down all evidence of the gruesome scene. His expression is haunted and his stance still as he silently pays homage to the victims of demonic cannibals. "They may not deserve any mercy or respect, but shall we direct the army to bury the enemy dead too? A mass grave to limit scavengers...?" he asks anyone standing nearby as he turns away and heads back to the army sadly.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Elrembriel does as asked, perhaps with a hair too much enthusiasm to be entirely in her right mind at the moment. Sergeant Dann personally returns to the bunker, and it turns out that her knowledge of the facilities helps produce most of the needed materials. Within about 5 minutes, there's a substantial amount of kindling and several lit torches in the immediate vicinity, held aloft by a score of paladins. Grim and stoic, they follow Filburn's lead calmly. Most of them have probably seen the wreckage left behind by small pockets of demonic influence. An army's doing is something else entirely, but the nature of the carnage isn't surprising. For Sergeant Dann, though she puts on a brave face, the process is noticeably more meaningful. She knew all of the crusaders who fell here, many more than the twenty-two slaughtered in their own barracks. She thanks Waylan and Grace for their parts in the services, and retreats to a place of solitude before the fire has begun to dwindle.
When the deed is done, and the heroes return to the army at large, Filburn and the others learn that Irabeth has long since given that same command. There are two substantial trenches a few hundred feet from the river already open. Many of the Tieflings have already been interred, and the rest are well underway. The work continues late into the night, in shifts not unlike the normal watch.
In the morning, Kamilo Dann approaches Irabeth's tent: the de-facto command post while the army is on the move. "With your assent, I would like to volunteer to take my men south to Kenabres, to report our loss of the Ford. We are much too few to continue holding it now, even against relatively small raiding parties..." She seems a bit ashamed, but earnest.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Elrembriel mutely does as she's told, glad to be away from the grisly scene. Yet, when she returns, she steels herself to watch the entire place being put to fire. A silent, mostly incoherent prayer to Iomedae is her only contribution to the proceedings.
After that, the elf seeks solace in work, and in books, immersing herself in studying Aravashnial's spells. The familiar effort of comprehending new formulas doesn't come naturally tonight, but once she manages to really get into it, she doesn't stop until she collapses from exhaustion, and falls asleep on the spot. The morning sees her with more spells at the ready, but her face looks sunken and hollow from lack of rest.DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Waylan strokes his beard pensively, having gathered near the commander's tent to plan the day's march. "Truly it seems that this place is beyond defending - we must venture deeper into demonic territory and there will be time to secure it on our way back. As for reporting to Kenabres, I suspect that Master Aravashnial or even our own Elrembriel might be able to accomplish the same with their magics. You and your men would be welcome to accompany us on our mission to Drezen, but I would understand if they are reluctant, after..." he trails off, looking around at the others for their input.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Morevek stands, still and silent as an ivory statue, save for the click-clack of the claws at the tip of his tail, which twists in upon itself. Having returned from his mostly-fruitless scouting to piece together the grisly scene encountered by his companions from whispered gossip, delivered with shudders by battle-hardened paladins... it is clear that even in morning's light, he cares not to lay the further burden of his own expectations on the remnants of that brave company. His face turns toward Irabeth, though his black-pooled eyes give little certainty about where his gaze actually rests.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Filburn's night is long, only marginally restful, and full of horrific dreams. The half-elf wakes a bit later than usual, but hurriedly makes his way to the others in time to hear the Sergeant's request. His expression bleak, he only says, "We could use you with us, if you and your people are willing. The road to Kenabres may not be safe, either..."
Spoiler: MechanicsNo one attempted Diplomacy or anything here, and Filburn isn't good at that anymore, but I think it bears trying. The soldiers need some way to come back from such an ordeal, if we can give it to them. I wouldn't want to leave them behind, nor send them to Kenabres in ashamed defeat. If they can muster the courage to join the army, they should, IMO.

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
After a weighty pause, and several glances to her subordinates, Kamilo Dann looks to Irabeth for affirmation. She nods with a bit of a "what are you asking me for?" shrug. Turning back to Filburn's, the sergeant nods slowly. "Truth be told, the trip back certainly carries concerns of its own. We'll be more than happy to join you, especially if it means bringing the fight to those bastards."
Spoiler: OOCMechanically, Kamilo and her team will serve as (1d6+2)[7] temporary HP to the army. It's unlikely you'll have any other source of increased army HP, so the loss of temporary or "real" HP first is probably irrelevant.
That issue settled, Sergeant Dann's contingent puts together their belongings, and reports to one of the officers as an additional corps.
After Morevek, Aron, and Anevia's reports (some substantial signs that several Tieflings fled the battle and escaped into the wilderness- it's impossible to be sure the army's position is an unknown at this point), the army gets set to move. For safety's sake, the crossing point at the ford remains narrow. It's simple enough, but the sheer volume of foot traffic makes it an ordeal to get everyone across. Now on the western banks of the River Sellen, the cliffs to the west are that much closer and clearer.
The river seems insignificant in some ways, but the nearness of the Worldwound won't be denied. Where things were strange before, they become all-but hostile now. The cliffs are steep and uninviting, and the scrub and brush covering the rolling hills to the east are almost entirely absent. Here and there, a thorny vine or thistle struggles for life against the brutal, ever-changing environment, but any lesser shrubs have long-since abandoned any effort. Fortunately, the river itself remains accessible as a source of water, but there is certainly no more foraging to be had as you leave behind any and all semblances of civilization at the ford.
The next steps of the plan involve about 1 1/2 day's travel north to the dry Ahari riverbed, and using that as a means to climb the cliff and head west to Drezen proper. How/who do you want scouting? (How far out, how large a scouting party, etc)

Re: Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!
Filburn nods at the Sergeant's decision, smiling and extending a hand in welcome. "Though it is poor consolation for the lives of your comrades, we will have plenty of opportunity to take our vengeance upon the demons responsible for their deaths in the days to come. You and the others are welcome - thank you for staying," he says as he takes his leave to get ready to move as well.
As the terrain proves rough and full of unnatural dangers, Filburn takes to scouting with the others, riding about in front of the army looking for signs of the enemies of the Golarion. Knowing that his skills have declined recently but confident that he can disappear at a moment's notice, he reports anything concerning first before riding towards the threats personally to take best advantage of his powers.
Spoiler: MechanicsPerception has a +10 bonus, but both Ride and Survival are at +0. Filburn can make himself "utterly undetectable," but it won't help his horse, so there is some risk to this plan, but I think it makes sense for Filburn to do this. If there are any decision points, he would first prioritize informing another one of the scouts of the army itself before taking point aggressively. He would not go into any dangerous situations of his own free will without informing someone first.

Sruech'ul lands on a tentpost next to Elrembriel, and the elf leans over, her gaze closely locked to her friend's enormous, bright orange eyes. Their whispered conversation lasts a few minutes, and it does look like the owl not only listens attentively, but responds in some sort of language that his master alone understands.
The majestic bird takes flight, keeping close to whatever little vegetation is to be found in these godsforsaken lands, in the direction of the north.
