GM:

Major Quest

You need to return the shipments of supplies from Solstice to Daunton in time for the festival. In order to accomplish this task by the deadline, you'll be able to take no more than one extended rest during the adventure, so use your resources carefully.

[/sblock]

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

Rules and Notes

All monsters will go on the same initiative count so that I can take their turn in one post and not hold up the game.

The players may post their actions in any order and those actions will be resolved in the order posted.

If an ally creates an effect that last until end of the next turn, please be sure that it only affects you once, no matter what order you act in.

Out of turn actions must be used before I post the next set of enemy actions. If you want to post a contingency to use an out of turn action, do so, I will try my best to remember them, but you may need to remind me.

Your combat maps and status will be here. Please fill in any extra information you think would be helpful and make sure the info I filled in is correct.

Have fun!

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

Please check in to this thread by posting a link to your character sheet and your treasure wishlist.

OOC:

Kauldron's all logged into the really fancy spread sheet. Nice job on that btw.

Rapida: No the vs. AC/other defense boxes are already programmed with our defenses. So the column to the right of the defenses lights up with a hit or miss when a number is placed into the to hit column. Very cool indeed.

MetaVoid · Dec 31, 2011

Cyr finds a place to stay away from the railing, while still having good overview of the ship. After some thought he positions himself at the foot of the stairs leading to the wheel.

He took the warlock on his offer to read his fate. And regreted it immediately after Martelai complained how it's hard to see because he's never sure which birthday to read for the deva. Final result was that this encounter will start poorly for him.

Aramais, captain of the Star of Arcadia, listens to the chatter and then nods his head in the direction of his first mate, a younger, fair skinned, elven lad with dark brown hair.

"Yes, something isn't right about that storm."

"So what will you do, Captain?"

"The Ocean Strider wont fare as well in that storm as our gal will. But one thing I know for sure about Dalphonse is that he's more than capable of running from trouble... assuming he has a the time."

"You aren't seriously considering..."

"Yes, Caphiel, I am. With heroic souls like these, the Star of Arcadia is more than a match for any spell or beast. We need to give the Ocean Strider the time they need to make a run for the harbor."

"That's madness!"

"Perhaps, but we've survived worse."

"Aye, we have."

Without another word, Caphiel turns towards the rest of the crew.

"TRIM THE SAILS! HARD TO STARBOARD! RAISE THE FLAGS AND TELL THE STRIDER TO RUN FOR HARBOR! BATTLE STATIONS! BATTLE STATIONS! BATTLE STATIONS!"

Regardless of the folly, the crew prepares the ship to head into the storm, obeying the orders of their officers without question.

GM:

You can place yourself somewhere on the ship. Once everyone is placed we will start with the first encounter.

Sorry I'm late, New Year's Party and all that.

Voda Vosa · Jan 2, 2012

Being busy with the loading of the vessels, few had spotted the inconspicuous mound of earth and rocks pilled next to the ship. Fewer had noticed it sliding on the ship, while the dwarf gave the directions and explained the tasks.
Earth had decided to get into the ship, as he sensed something was amiss in the weather lately, he had been hearing tales from the islands around Daunton and joining the dots, he had extracted a conclusion.
As the storm rages, from bellow deck, emerges the gargantuan shape of Earth. "Mother Nature has set me in the right path, to purse and destroy the unnatural. I sense the presence of abominations in the storm, a made storm. I am Earth, I will obliterate it and restore balance." the short introduction made, the elemental warforged positions itself ready, cleaving his own body with his hands, and ripping appart what seems to be a rough hammer and a shield. He carries a small plant in his back, no more than a few leaves and a tiny white flower, that is buffeted by the strong winds. Other vines and plants grow on the creature, and seem more green now, with the imminent danger at hand.

[sblock=Earth]Initiative +4
Passive Insight 16 Passive Perception 21; Senses normal HP 93 Bloodied 46 Surge Value 23; Surges Per-Day 14 AC 26 Fortitude 21 Reflex 18 Will 19
Speed 6 Size Medium
Opportunity accions vs marked enemies:
-Warden Fury (At Will Inmediate interrupt Melee ✦ Primal Weapon)
Target: Triggering creature Trigger: An enemy marked by Earth makes an attack that does not include him as a target
Attack: +13 vs Fort, 1d10 + 7 damage, and the target grants combat advantage to Earth and his allies until the end of Earth's next turn, and it's slowed..
-Warden's Grasp (At Will Inmediate interrupt Melee ✦ Primal Weapon)
Target: Triggering creature Trigger: An enemy marked by Earth that is within 5 squares of him makes an attack that does not include him as a target
Hit: Earth slides the target 1 square. The target is slowed and cannot shift until the end of its turn.
Other important variables:
-Attacks vs Slowed or immovilized enemies: +4 damage.
-Enemies hit by opportunity attacks are slowed.
-Gain +1 attack when an ally is adjacent to a foe.
-Critical hits knock targets prone.[/sblock]
