    Default Runelords 2E IC

    Welcome to Sandpoint




    The square before the church quickly becomes crowded as locals and travelers arrive, and several merchant tents featuring food, clothes, local crafts, and souvenirs are there to meet them.

    The turnout for the opening speeches is quite respectable, and the four keynote speakers each deliver short but well-received welcomes to the festival. Mayor Deverin's friendly attitude and excitement prove contagious as she welcomes visitors to town and jokes about how even Larz Rovanky, the local tanner (and notorious workaholic) managed to tear himself away from the tannery to attend, much to everyone's amusement (except Larz's). Sheriff Belor Hemlock brings the crowd down a bit with his dour mood, his reminder to be safe around the evening's bonfire, and his request for a moment of silence to remember those who lost their lives in the fire that claimed the town's previous church several years ago. The next speaker is scheduled to be local nobleman Lonjiku Kaijitsu, but a sudden illness has prevented him from attending the ceremony (this isn't something that surprises the locals, given Lonjiku's well-known dislike of frivolity and festivals). Sandpoint's own showman Cyrdak Drokkus is more than up to the challenge o fbringing the crowd's mood back up with his rousing anecdotes. He delivers a not-completely-irreverent recap ofthe long process the town went through to finance and construct the new cathedral. He throws in a bit of self-promotion at the end, as is his wont, inviting everyone to stop by the Sandpoint Theater the following evening to check out his new production of "The Harpy's Curse", revealing that the lead role of Avis era the harpy queen will be played by none other than the famous Magnimarian diva Allishanda! Finally, Father Zantus steps up to give a short speech thanking everyone for coming before declaring the Swallowtail Festival underway.

    Numerous games and contests take place during the day, including sack races, games of hide-and-seek, weight-lifting challenges, balance beam contests, tug-of-war events, and the like. At noon, Father Zantus and his acolytes wheel a large covered wagon into the square, and after recounting the short parable of how Desna first fell to earth and was nursed back to health by a blind child whom she transformed into an immortal butterfly as a reward for her aid, they pull aside the wagon's cover, releasing the thousand children of Desna - a furious storm of swallowtail butterflies that swarm into the air in a spiraling riot of color to a great cheer from the crowd. Throughout the rest of the day, children futilely chase butterflies, never quite quick enough to catch them.

    Lunch is provided free, at the expense of Sandpoint's taverns. Each brings its best dishes - curry-spiced salmon and early winterdrop mead from Rusty Dragon, lobster chowder from Hagfish, peppercorn venison from White Deer, as well as various other stuff....

    Introduce yourself and describe what you're doing as you move towards the central square for a speech/ sermon from Father Zantus

    Jon Green

    A large man ambles through the crowd, staff in hand, stroking his beard as he smiles at children chasing butterflies. It was good to be back at the festival; though not a resident, Jon tried to make it to the festival when he could, such events providing pleasant markers for his wanderings. He plans to try his hand at a few competitions; he is strong and a fair wrestler, though only a decent amateur, not a serious competitor.

    Having sampled the venison, Jon considers trying some of the other offerings, as refusing the tavern-keepers' hospitality would be rude. The food is also a fair bit more adventurous that his usual fare. Besides, large men have large appetites.

    Maybe after the local priest finishes.

    Lysander - HP: 21\21 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None

    ---------------

    The lean and hungry-looking man stands in the back rows during the opening speeches, mostly bored except when Cyrdak Drokkus delivers his - the showman manages to get a laugh from Lysander, known in Sandpoint as a mercenary, guard, bouncer and in general as someone willing to use the sword at his side for coin. Few would call him likable and nice, since his arrival at Sandpoint he has mostly kept to himself and has almost no friends but in the years he got a reputation as reliable and discreet.

    Free food.
    That's why Lysander endured the words of the town's dignitaries and now he finally has the chance to grab a bite of the delicious salmon of the Rusty Dragon; there's however a queue and the mercenary groans, sharing his displeasure with the closest person - Jon Green.

    "Would've preferred less words and more food. At least old Kaijitsu had the decency to spare us his speech."

    People, however, start turning towards the local priest that clearly intends to deliver a sermon; Lysander sighs but doesn't say anything - even though he doesn't seem that interested in whatever Father Zantus will say, he's sensible enough to not upset the cleric's flock with his words.

    Lithe, but not skinny, Jannis has finally taken to keeping his facial hair neat and the rest well trimmed. He goes about his duties, helping to prepare the stage and participating in the release of the swallowtails- grinning widely at the antics of some of Sandpoint's youngest citizens. Clapping alongside the kids, Jannis pretends to try to catch them himself for a few minutes, enjoying the simple contentment of community.

    He swaps jibes playfully with Ameiko Kaijitsu- wondering for the thousandth time how such a stick in the mud can have such an intriguing daughter, and lends a hand helping her position her cart and stall for the best traffic. No man in sandpoint could both reliably and consistently avoid ogling Kaye Tesarani, and Jannis doesn't even begrudge Ameiko the elbow in his ribs when he loses grasp of their bantering. "I probably deserved that, eh?" he chuckles, rubbing his head. After nabbing a taste of the sauce simmering in her cart, he begs away, to partake in some of the challenges and games.

    As the morning approaches afternoon, Jannis' stomach intrudes on his people-watching. He retrieves a roast turkey leg and gnaws it happily, seated on a bench near the edge of the square. Nothing too out of the ordinary catches his eye; the same locals that always participate are here, along with a few regular out-of-towners. In particular, the burly Jon Green would stand out in any crowd, and the hawk faced mercenary in line beside him (of whom Jannis hasn't quite formed an opinion). A couple times, he's sure he's caught a glimpse of the Gnomish brothers that came to town a few years back. They're hard to spot for long, though; never sit still.

    Finally, it seems Father Zantus is preparing to make the afternoon's keynote speech/sermon. Dutifully, Jannis ducks away and dons an acolyte robe over his leathers. He doesn't actually have to do anything, thankfully, but is expected to stand nearby with the other acolytes, in case he needs anything. Thus, he finds himself- a touch uncomfortably- waiting near the stage for... well, hopefully more food!

    Alexej wasn't much for festivals, faires, or celebration, but he did know how to drink, and how to hold his alehouse swill, which is exactly what was in the tankard he had in his hands as the stuffed shirt leadership of Sandpoint made their grandiose speeches. The swill was from the Fatman's Feedbag, the tavern he was supposed to meet his Sczarni contact at. It was his third, one for breakfast with his crusty loaf, one after breakfast to wash down some cheap stew, and this, his third, while he wandered the streets, taking in the crowd.

    Maybe it was the Feedbag's swill, or maybe it was a combination of the sun and the crisp autumn air, but Aeryn felt something of nostalgia flood his body while wandering the streets of Sandpoint, taking in the festival and the various games, the activites of the crowd and the excitement of children. A couple children were looking at his staff with wide eyes, so, on a whim, he produced a vivid green apple from his sleeve, went to bit into it, and it evaporated into a puff of glitter and smoke, which he then blew towards them, so they could smell the scent of fresh, tart, apples. Their laughs caught him off guard, so while the children's fathers all began to congregate at the tug of war, he distracted an ever growing crowd of children with simple prestidigitation, sleight of hand and the least of his magics.

    Setting his, now, empty tankard beside him, he began juggling small balls of blue green fire, that he would then toss towards a young urchin, only to have it evaporate into smoke. The clink of a copper into his cup caught his attention, and he figured, what the hell, and began to put on a show for the children.

    As the crowds mill and gather by the stage Father Zantus paces nervously just off the stage before Ameiko notices and with a kindly wave sends one of the serving lads across with a pair of stout wooden pitchers of "Jade ale" one of the local ones that she brews herself. The lad hands one to Father Zantus and the other to Jannis as he waits by the stage shifting uncomfortably in his "formal" robes. THe lad points back at Ameiko's cart piled high with trays of food and barrels of beer and Ameiko catches Janni's eye and offers a polite wave.

    Zantus looks to Janni again, "Are you sure my boy that I should discuss the unpleasantness, it was a tough time. I know it meant we have the glorrious new building but I do feel sad thinking about old Tobyn. He was a stickler and strict eh, but didn't deserve what happened to him of poor Nualia. He take sa deep draught of the ale and sighs, "Aye, maybe just a brief mention bit focus on happier things eh? A new Queen down in Korvosa, rumours of more settlers heading this way or out to the old Azlant islands, its a good time to be be around eh?"

    Sandpoint locals will know about 5 years ago there was the Unpleasantness, a time when people had disturbing dreams, a lot of fights happened. Poor Lonjikous lost his wife to a suicide and Old Man Stoot "chopper" murdered some dozen women.. But also resulted in a fire that burned th old church down and killed Father Tobyn and is adopted daughter Nualia



    In crowd by Jon and Lysander a few of the other village men nod in passing to the pair of them as they sip the frothy ale and enjoy the foods of the festival. "Afternoon lads" a deep voice says, and both see the hulking heavy set Ibor Thorn approaching (he and his business partner Banny Harker own the lumber mill). He nods to Lysander politely not knowing the guard well, but grins at Jon offering his hand. "Enjoying the festival Jon? Done well this year ain't they. You seen Banny about or he chasing Katrine's skirts again? Aye well, Vin will have his hide if gets heard of it. You found any more big redwoods? I be hearing of more hulls wanting to be laid for the Pathfinder Society exploration of ole' Azlant islands so there's a good price for 'em.."

    --------

    Alexej soon found himself at the centre of a growing crowd as a dozen children began cheering him on, vying and fighting to try and catch the coloured balls of light as their grinning parents watched on. It wasn't only the children though that watched Alexej, a stunning young woman with bright red hair and bright eyes that promised something also watched, winking at him as he caught her eye... Maybe being sent to this small flyspeck fishing village woulnd't be so bad after alll...


    ----------

    As the children cheerd and played he barely notice the child at the back, though one smaller and scrawnier than may oft he others with a filthy sack cloth hooded cloak. He did notice however when the hood was thrown back revealing a green face with long ears, a mouth full of teeth and hate filled little yellow eyes! Even as the goblin reveals himself and drives a knife into one of the watching villagers there's pandemonium from other points in the square and above the growing screams a son can be heard.....

    ---------

    By the stage the men (Lysander, Jon and Ibor) watch as Zantus chats to Jassin, oneof the priests, before there is howl of a dog in pain and screams from the crowd. Behind you a dogs manages to stagger three paces forward, blood pouring from a jagged gash in its throat before with a weak bark it collapses dead and three green skinned small creatures cackle manically as they run towards Ameiko and her wagon, bloodied little cleavers raised! Behind them another goblin with a long whip and the skull of a raven tied to its head breaks into a crude song

    Goblins chew and goblins bite.
    Goblins cut and goblins fight.
    Stab the dog and cut the horse,
    goblins eat and take by force!

    Goblins race and goblins jump
    goblins slash and goblins bump.
    Burn the skin and mash the head,
    goblins here and you be dead!

    Chase the baby, catch the pup.
    Bonk the head to shut it up.
    Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed,
    we be goblins! you be food!

    Goblins scream and Goblins cry
    Goblins will surely die
    Goblins run and goblins hide
    Goblins will take my sword in the side
    Goblins stink and goblins smell
    Goblins will go to hell

    Wring their necks pull their hair
    Throw them down the big long stairs
    Kick the goblins in the nuts
    Bleed them with our weapon cuts
    Poke the goblins in the eye
    Then they will surely die
    ....


    OOC

    For Alexej there is a goblin in amongst the children he was entertaining
    For Lysander, Jon, Jarrin there are 3 goblins and a singing one ~20ft away about to attack Amieko

    Players have the initiative

    "Oy! To arms! Goblins in the square!" Jannis bellows the warning as loud as he can manage, hoping to be heard at least by the people near the stage. "Ameiko!" he shouts, as he scrambles out of his blasted formals. Fortunately, they're loose enough to wear his leathers underneath, and he's kept his bow on hand. Without waiting for anyone else to take up the call, he grabs his bow and takes aim at the Goblin stalking his... friend.

    "What the..."

    More dumbfounded than scared, Lysander draws his sword and gazes his surroundings looking for threats - a goblin is about to attack Ameiko but Jannis and Jon are going to her rescue and besides he has other problems, like the goblins trying to attack him.
    He quickly engages his opponents, sword in one hand and the other hand moving and shoving and grabbing so that his enemies will have troubles defending themselves - the mercenary fights dirty, a quick kill the only mercy he's willing to show.

    The fiery haired woman brought a smile to his lips, and certain thoughts nearly interrupted his concentration. However, he had a purpose in town, the Sczarni needed him to reach out to Vhiski. He sent a burst of light and sweet scented smoke in her direction, scattering in a shower of red and orange sparks and then braced his thoughts. He focused his concentrating, mindfully ignoring the red-headed temptation, for the time, and scanning the crowd to determine if his contact was among them.

    It was at that point he heard the goblin-chant, and noticed the horrific smile of the hooded figure at the rear of the crowd, a goblin, his hands under his cloak producing some notched and rust edged cleaver, more than capable of slitting a throat in a shower of blood. His left hand enacted a series of intricate motions, weaving threads of power into an arcane ward, and as he did so the illusiory magics ceased. He then spoke a series of words in ancient Thassilonian, channeling arcane power into a weave that allowed him to produce a small fist sized ball of flame in his palm. He threw it forward, streaking towards the goblin raider, while he shouted to the crowd, this time, in common, "Sandpoint is under attack! GOBLINS!"

    His low height did not allow him to immediately understand what was happening. However, he could distinctly hear a man shout: "Sandpoint is under attack! GOBLINS!"

    Goblins? They would ruin the party, he was sure.

    The little gnome stands still in the back of the crowd,
    looking around in search of anything that would distinguish this particular festival from any other festival he has already seen,
    and finding with discomfort nothing appealing.
    His skin and his hair are of a gray, faint color, quite unusual in respect of the typical descendant of the first world, but he knows it's not due to an early bleaching,
    because he does EVERYTHING to keep boredom at bay.
    A white little rat, clearly domesticated, hides between his legs, its fur soft and clean makes it half cute half disgusting: a charming rat, but still a rat.

    When the goblins come laughing and singing it's almost as his wishes has been fulfilled

    In the cathedral grounds pandemonium breaks outas there suddenly seems to be evil little goblins everywhere stabbing and slashing at people, chopping at the dogs and trying to grab trays of poached fish or racks of marinated spicy ribs. Screams and chaos erupt as townspeople run everywhere knocking each other over and turning over the colourful stalls. By the stage one of the burly men trips and falls smashing two of the cages of additional butterflies and there is a sudden swirl of purple wings spiraling in the chaos.

    By the children Alexej shows how effective a mage he is as the defensive magics are summoned before he throws fire at the goblin about to stab a small boy. The goblin barely has time to squeal before with a faint sizzling sound its reduced to ash, only its belt buckle and charred dog chopped dropping to the ground!

    Nearer the stage and Ameiko's cart with her flag proclaiming her Rusty Dragon ale as the beast the three goblins rush at her and the men! Jannis throws of his heavy vestment but the jostling crowd and sudden swirl of butterflies distracts him and the arrow goes wide thudding into the cart wheel. Even as that happens the two nearest to Ameiko are hit by a sizzling bolt of lightning that reverberates between them, their ears stand up on end and then both fall down, still smoking. Lysander engages the 3rd of the little critters, raising his shield there is a clang as the little creature bangs into it and his first blow goes wide before the creature is cut down by a solid blow to the head.

    Even as the Warchanter sings his song, cracking his whip another 3 goblins surge out beside him, two clutching burning torches and savage grins. The pair of gnomes in the middle oft he square move to engage them Rasxim vaulting over the nearest one and driving his blade into the back of the goblin's head. His brother levels a crossbow smeared with poison and launches it but he is jostled by panicked villagers and the bolt goes wide.

    The warchanter howls out his goblin song, the strident tones effecting his allies and stinging the ears of the gnomes. The two torch wielding goblins both attacking the gnomes, ne swinging the flaming torch repeatedly at Rasxim, the other running to Kash before breathing on his troch and engulfing the gnome in a great sheet of flames. By Ameiko's stall another two goblins leap from the crowds, one attacking Jon, the other Lysander....

    That's very brave of you coming this near

    He takes the crossbow aside, searching with the other hand something in his pouches.
    He reaches out for a little paper sphere , lights a fuse and throws the bomb in the goblin's general direction.

    Jannis grimaces as he watches his shot go wide, followed immediately by surprise, relief, and an appreciative glance for the grand red-haired man. It seems like they lock eyes for a heartbeat, and he mouths "thank you" before diverting his attention back to the various risks at hand.

    In the immediate sense, Jannis has some trouble making out the warchanter, though he can certainly hear the little blighter. At the foot of the stage, he climbs on top. From his new vantage point, he sights down an arrow, looking over the crowd for the "singing" Goblin.

    Even though Lysander fells one of the goblins, another one springs forwards and gives the mercenary a good one in the unprotected leg; howling because of the sudden pain, he steps back a little and swings the sword, a downward cut aimed at the huge head of the goblin and pressing the assault to clear a path towards the warchanter.

    Alexej moved quickly after the arcane fire immolated the goblin raider, he observed another group of similarly clad goblins attacking the crowd. They seemed to be led by some sort of commander, a goblin singing their praises, inspiring them to further heights of violence and aggression. Seeing two goblins close to the larger warchanter spew fire towards the onlookers, Alexej hissed under his breath, "So you like fire you piece of gutter filth!" And with that, he, again, moved his fingers through a complex arcane pattern, holding the weave of astral threads clear in his minds eye, his hand arced back and then slammed forward, a ball of fire streaking towards the chanter in an attempt to remove the threat, and the raider's co-ordination.

    With some skill and daring the heroes put the goblins to the sword (or staff/bow/shiv in the back...). Jon enhances his staff that grows thick knobbled ridges and then handily crushes the goblin that had dared to attack him. Beside him Lysander hacks the goblin that had attacked him near in half before rolling over the cart and stabbing the warchanter deep in the side, the song ending in a pathetic mewling howl... one ended second later as Jannis's arows strikes home silencing the small beast once and for all.

    The two flame wielding ones don't last much longer either as Rasxim vaults off a handy barrel and neatly guts the goblin from behind. Nearby his brother shots the last of the goblins with a poisoned bolt, the goblin howling with the hissing poison burning it before running away its eyes closed in pain - and running directly into the wall of a house, the crack of its skull distinct over the screams in the square.

    As the chaos reigns Father Zantus runs over to the middle. "My friends. Praise Desna you were all here to stop this menace. Are you any of injured, my acolytes and I can tend to any wounds."

    Even as he speaks more screams and shouts and a high pitched screeching like a cross between a rat ad dog and the barking of a real dog can be heard from the main gate to the North

    Even though the mercenary can well hear the sounds of battle coming from up north and clearly sees Jon running to help the defenders at the Gate, he's in no rush and jumps at the opportunity of being healed by Father Zantus - Lysander may pray to Calistria, but Desna is good enough when you're bleeding.

    "One of these nitwits got me in the leg, I would appreciate if any of you could patch me up." a pained smile, hand pointing at the gash in the leg "And I guess it's not over still. Hope I won't be needing your services again this day, Father."

    This time his efforts are rewarded, and at least one hostile voice goes silent.

    As Father Zantus approaches, Jannis quickly lowers his head respectfully. "With your blessing, I will give chase as well, Father. There may be more injured by the gate."

    I assume Father Zantus will give Jannis permission to go with the rest of the group. Three stride actions, unless two puts him in line of sight to a Goblin or one of their nasty dogs. If possible, attack with the bow:
    (1d20+5)[16] attack
    (1d8)[6] damage and deadly: (1d10)[9]

    Alexej shouted over the din, "FATHER ZANTUS! I've some families, and their children here, keep them safe. They are Sandpoint's future." He looked at the odd assortment of defenders, acknowledging those few he knew with a curt nod, he seemed about to speak then the screams and braying of dogs caught his ear.

    "Shall we then? Once more into the breach?!?" And as he spoke he moved towards the sound of chaos, his fingers beginning to glow with arcane fire.

    Father Zantus motions and Alexis, a lovely friendly acolyte of Densa with long flowing blonde hair tied with purple ribbons runs forwards and offers healing to Kash and Lysander. A furrowed brow briefly as she concentrates on the wounds, and a muttered "Hmm, sorry, it felt harder than normal. Normally the Goddess does not resist our prayers to heal"

    OOC: She does a 3 action heal to heal 8 hit points to everyone within 30ft

    Zantus nods to Jannis, "Go with Goddess". The last word a bit more strained as there is sounds of shouting and panic from the North Gate and you can hear the sounds of fighting and trouble. Even as Kash and Lysander are healed Jon, Jannis and Alexej sprint towards the gate. they get to the gate moments ahead of the others and are there just in time to hear the high pitched scream of a horse that collapses spraying blood as a savage looking goblin riding a mangy looking giant rat dog with 3 more savage goblins running behind it.


    The goblins howl with glee as they advance upon a noble looking man in bloodied and ragged blue courtiers clothes who is backed up against the walls as the gobline dog advances towards him menacingly. See you the heroes racing towards the gate as his potential saviour he shouts in a high pitched squeal "Kill it, save me from that mangy beast. it killed my horse!"

    OOC

    Jannis, Jon and Alexej are ~40ft from the advancing goblins (20ft from the gate where Aldern is)

    Lysander, Kash and Rasxim are 1 full turn of running from the gate

    Alexis' words leave Lysander even more jaded than usual - Sandpoint is not his hometown, he has no friends here and still he's shedding his own blood to defend it even though no one will pay him but it seems for Desna is not enough, as always it's never enough. The mercenary tightens the grip on his sword and looks north, where the fight still rages on; then he sighs and gives Alexis a crooked smile "No worries, it's a weird day overall." and starts running towards the gate, anger in his eyes and a need to unleash his rage on the first goblin he sees.

    Alexej moved hastily forwards, looking with disdain to the cowering noble. "Stay down, m'lord," he sneered as he drew his hands up, spreading his fingers, his thumbs touching to create the semblance a fan. "Let's send these slagging bastards to hell."
