IC II Ljonarian Enigma: Imperial Affairs

[CWater]

Relik mutters a curse at the current turn of events, but seeing no clear alternative, grimly focuses on methodically, finally eliminating this pocket of fey.

Relik's flail claims another victim, splitting the fey's skull open. Moving to the next target, he slams the weapon to another enemy.

Spoiler: Relik

Show

First attack kills F7, so second attack is aimed at F6. You also get a Cleave attack.

"If I ever see you again, I'll turn your skull into a drinking cup!" Aerin shouts after the fleeing fey dancer, then takes a step to the east and gestures with her sword. A small ball of flame appears in front of her, expanding outward into a cone as it moves to her northwest.

Spoiler

Show

Reading the map, it looks to me like Aerin can hit F12 and F13 with Hatchling's Flame without hitting any non-fey. If that's not accurate, let me know and she'll do something else.

If that's what she does, F12 and F13 both take [roll0] fire damage, Reflex DC 16 for half.

Spoiler: Aerin

Show

Unfortunately, it's not possible to aim a 30 ft. cone so that it only hits fey here.

Thus I assume you wish to do something else.

Aerin steps northeast and swings her sword at the fey in front of her.

Her attack surprises the fey and the blade cuts open his chest and ruins his toga. A twitch of pain passes through his handsome features briefly, before the amused expression returns. "Did I understand that correct? The language of this land is so crass. You mean to make a cup of the little princess's pretty head? Such audacity!" The idea seems to entertain him. "I suppose we can't have that." He attacks again.

The fey girl doesn't reply to Aerin's threat, still running farther and farther away from the fight.

The flute players gets bored of the tune and glances around eyes starting to burn with anger. They grab two discarded goblets from the ground and toss one of them at Aerin. The other caster is also throwing a tantrum after his spell again fails to take effect. Following the bards example, he also starts to gather goblets, bottles and other random objects left lying around from the party.

Goblet, thrown: (1d20+1)[19] (ranged to melee penalty)

Relik swings the flail back at the fey a second time and they go down with a whimper. For a moment the elf has cleared his immediate vicinity of enemies, but then the fey that dropped Alfdel crouches under his horse and lunges screaming at Relik.

Spoiler: F5 attacks Relik

Claw: (1d20+11)[28]
Damage: (1d4+8)[10]

Councillor Xastra nods in response to Vethir and rides off the road, circling behind the heavy cart and the oxen.

Her guard moves back a little and shoots twice at the closest enemy again. Only one of the arrows hits and the fey shows no sign of stopping. She runs to Vethirs side and attempts to drag him off the saddle, but the elf resists this attempt.

Nearby, the fey holding the unconscious Sandra quickly loses interest in the elf and unceremoniously drops her to the ground. She then runs over to the still ongoing fight and also attempts to pull Vethir down. However, the guard kicks her in the chest, preventing her from getting a hold of him. They're joined by the third fey in their small troupe, who tries to slash the elf with their claws, but stumbles and misses entirely.

The enemy next to Hawke continues her attempts to claw and gore the laughing ranger.

The fey surrounding Yuli continue to claw at her, and while some of the attacks are blocked by her armour, others manage to hit between the unprotected areas between the plates and she's bleeding badly by now. At the same time, the fourth fey keeps a hold of her mind, robbing her the chance to counter-attack.

In the middle of the ensorcelled mortals one fey continues to play his harp, seemingly as oblivious to his surroundings as they are. He sits down cross-legged and the mortals gather around, also sitting or lying down to the grass, listening to the beautiful harmonic music. The instruments that produce their music without the need of a player also float over and join the tune.

Two mortals that Rowan freed from the enchantment finish gathering their things by the roadside and proceed to run away from the scene. The third mortal in possession of all her wits stands still, looking at the gathering of people with a look of trepidation of her face.

Sandra slumps limply to the ground- no, that wouldn’t do, not after Geoff and the Lieutenant! Rowan abandons the relative protection of his position to run to the unconscious elf and try to remedy the situation- and it put him closer to Hawke, best to do something about that situation soon.

The elf stirs and her eyes fly open. "Ouch...", she mumbles.

Still down on the ground Alfdel considers his options and chooses to strike from his current position. The fey's attention is on Relik and is caught by surprise when the elf jams two blades through each of his legs. Judging by the amount of blood gushing from the wounds, he stroke a major artery. However, rage flares in the fey's eyes and he refuses to fall.

Shadow Jaunt as far toward the fey F16 as possible; hopefully the fey she was fighting will be looking in the other direction in the belief that she's pursuing the princess. Shadow Jaunt lets her move 50 feet as a standard action; if I'm reading the map correctly that will put her in V7, after which, as her move action, she'll move U6-U5-T4-S3-R3. If I'm misreading it, she'll get as close to the fey F16 as she can without provoking attacks of opportunity from any other fey.

Relik swiftly finishes the job and smashes the fey skull like a disgusting watermelon. Then he runs to join the fight between Vethir and three gleeful fey. The archer backs away with his guard up. Unfortunately, the enemies are too close to aim a shot properly.

One fey strikes Vethir, sinking her claws to his side. Another gives up on trying to pull him down and instead claws the elf from the other side.

The enemy closest to Relik spins around when he arrives, c'ocks her head to one side and snickers, before unleashing a flurry of attacks at him. He dodges most of them, however one kick hits him in the stomach.

Aerin reappears on the other side of the battlefield and gets a better view of what's going on here. Hawke is still under some enchantment that forces him to laugh uncontrollably, though he's otherwise almost unharmed. The Imperial guards are not doing so well; Mir lies on his face on the ground and Yuli is badly wounded and dazed. Aerin arrives in time to see how one of the fey lunges forward, grabs a hold of the guardwoman and rips her throat out. She's pushed off her horse and falls down to the ground to lie motionless like Mir.

Another fey looks around for another opponent, spots Aerin and rushes over to punch her in the face.

The remaining enemy in this troupe chooses to join the party surrounding Vethir, though the elf evades her first swing.


"Thanks", Sandra nods to Rowan and shakily stands up. "I- I need to help Hawke, and the others. Stay safe!" She draws her falchion and moves towards the fighter who keeps trying to hit Hawke. The fey is growing increasingly angry when the ranger keeps dodging and blocking her blows and she lets out a howl of rage and her muscles bulge. However, even this fury doesn't help her enough to strike her evasive target.

The chattiest of the trio shrugs after after Aerin disappears and he's lost his opponent. So he races across the battlefield towards the target his comrade sort of pointed out with the flying container. The third remaining fey runs after him.

The heavily drunk fey crawls his way to Rowan and tries to grab a hold of his foot. However, it is easy for the young healer to step aside and avoid the poor attempt.

Alfdel nods to the woman that helped him, and with a quick motion swings himself back into the saddle. The trained warhorse had waited patiently in place, even though battle raged around it. The elf then turns the mount around and charges to strike the fey threatening Sandra. His rapier hits, though its only a flesh wound.

Mushroom becomes enraged, striking at his assailant with new vigour!

Spoiler: Actions

Show

Hawke 5' steps to R5 and draws flail to attack F4. It occurs to me that he should be able to hold bow in off-hand without needed to drop or sheathe it, but can drop if necessary.

Attack: (1d20+11)[16] (Includes +2 flanking with Sandra but -2 due to use of power attack.)
Damage (1d8+6)[10]

Having taken damage, Mushroom now rages against F4, +4 to str, con, and -2 to ac. Mushroom might also gain hitpoints due to con, but not sure. Full attack.

Claw 1: (1d20+4)[24]

The fey is first beaten by Hawke's flail and then gets to face the full wrath of an enraged badger when Mushroom lunges, tearing at her flesh with claws and teeth. When she finally manages to extricate herself from the small beast she's full of deep cuts, bleeding badly.

Alfdel is also fortunate, decapitating the enemy in front of him. He misses the second one, however his mount kicks the target in the chest.

Aerin was down, but safe(?) for the moment, so Rowan runs over to Relik, ducking under the horse in the way. Invoking the powers he possesses, the healer sacrifices one of the more powerful spells Illyrie has granted for today.

As Relik's eyes open once more, his mind clears enough to register that the damage is probably bad enough to have to actually deal with. He rises, downing an imperial potion, and takes up a defensive posture beside the young healer.

The fey claws Relik while he stands, but the potion brings the life back to his tired limbs. However this lasts only for a moment, as the bloodthirsty fey claws at him again, this time tearing open his throat.

Her companion, the one who was hitting Vethir, looks around with a confused expression on their face and mutters something in Sylvan. Then the fey slumps down to sit on the ground and yawns.

Still on the ground, Sandra takes another swing at the enemy next to her, hitting her calf.

The fey next to Alfdel tears at his leg and the blood loss from all of his wounds is too much for the half-elf and he goes unconscious again, sliding off the saddle.

Mir grips his greataxe and glares at the two fey in front of him, their hands dark with blood. "Haven't you had enough?!", he snarls. At this time, the red fury fades from their eyes, and the two members of the fae folk glance at each other, looking somewhat dizzy and suddenly tired. One of them licks their fingers and frowns. "Bleh, I'd rather have some good wine." The other says something in Sylvan and the pair turns around and head for the pile of abandoned supplies. One of them shouts something over their shoulder.

Spoiler: F15 speaks Sylvan

"Hey! Charlnnáh! We're gonna have a drink, you coming?!"

One of the fey next to Hawke, the one not hitting everything in sight, looks over and waves. Some sanity also returning to her eyes and she shouts back a reply.

"Oh, yeah I guess! Shanrul's still in frenzy here, but I'll come over!"

She turns and starts walking that way as well.

Spoiler: Aerin ONLY

Aerin returns to consciousness. She's standing on the plain, but everything in is quiet and misty. There are shapes around him but they are twisted and blurry, hard to make out. Then a white appears next to her, or maybe it had been there all along, it's hard to tell. We meet again, Illyrie's servant speaks to her and Aerin feels the mark on her shoulder feel colder, Yet, this time you are not dead. Not yet. The deer nods towards the ground and Aerin sees a copy of her lying there. Motionless and with a large hole in her chest that no living being should survive. The Lady's young servant is at it again, he truly wishes to save everybody. The voice sounds slightly amused but also sad at the same time.

The fey just barely dodges Hawke's first attack, but the second gets her right in the head. Dizzy from the blow, she stumbles and is brought down by a ferocious Mushroom.

Rowan feels a pang of guilt when Relik falls down again. He reaches to heal him again and whispers, "Stay still, I'll distract her."

"Hrgh," Aerin comments. "Bleck. Fey. Not making a good impression on me."

After a minute, if the spirit doesn't speak further, she says, "Rowan, huh? Looks like I'm out of that fight, anyway. If you have any advice for ways to get fey to back down--that is, to resolve conflicts with them without either fighting them, or letting them slaughter other people--it might result in less death."

She doesn't acknowledge the possibility that she might not return to life again.

Whether by sense or exhaustion, Relik remains still despite the desire to protect the young healer. However, he remains fully alert to the fey before him.

There are many kinds of fey, but these are one of the worst. The tone of disdain is unmistakable even in the deer's telepathic voice. They are called bacchae, and they spend all their days drinking, reveling and fighting. Which would not be so bad I guess, if not for their explosive rage. A single insult can lead them to kill without remorse, and when a group of them fly into fury together the result is often a massacre. Illyrie's servant sighs. At least they don't hold grudges, I suppose I have to give them that.

I see you have kept your promise. The Emperor of Ljonaria is safe, for now at least, and you have not killed since returning to life. I hope you will remember something of this in the future, and as promised I release you from this oath. The deer leans closer to Aerin and touches her shoulder with its head. The cold sensation intensifies for a moment and then disappears entirely.

With the fey down, Sandra finally stands up and runs to collect her bow from where it fell.

Mir moves next to Rowan, ready to strike at any hostiles that come close. The fey the healer taunted hisses and charges at him, but the imperial guard is ready and swings his axe in a wide arc hitting the enemy straight in the chest and she falls down on her back.

The fey that downed Alfdel is still maddened by rage and selects Hawke as his new target, charging to claw at him. However, the clumsy attack is easy to dodge.
