Beyond the Rerisen Tower(DM Iron Sky, Judge: renau1g)

[Luinnar]

This one feels that we should press on quickly. Now that the enemy is alerted to our presence it may bring new forces to attack the tower. Kaz says.

OOC: Does the THP only last until the end of the encounter?

Two surges spent bring Kaz up to full HP. No dailys used.

Eithal walks by the trembling militia members, "Ahright chill'en. Yew jus' quitch'a cryin' now, ya heyah? Yew new this'as gonna be dayngerus, so cowboy up an' git ready for the nex'un." She sits down on the beach, planting her axe in the sand while she catches her breath.[sblock=Actions]Eithal will spend a surge to get herself up to full.[/sblock][sblock=Ministats]

Sudden Roots: Whenever Eithal hits an enemy with an Opportunity Attack, that enemy is slowed until the end of its next turn.

Crushing Earthstrength: When Eithal uses her second wind, she gains a +4 bonus to her weapon damage rolls until the end of her next turn.

Guard of Stone: While Eithal is under the effect of her stone’s endurance racial power, each enemy marked by Eithal takes an additional penalty to attack rolls for attacks that don’t include Eithal as a target. The penalty equals her Constitution modifier and lasts until the end of her next turn. [/sblock]

Seeing the militia members' despair, Salgyn takes a slightly different conversational tack than Eithal. Taking a seat among them he says, "Too many die already at hands of those who return from Land of Still Grasses. Your friends, yes? Very sad for you. But now their spirits fly on other winds. Let your grief blow through you now so that courage may return to your hearts. I haff a song for you now in honor of those fallen. A lament my people sing for those who die on the mountain." As the half-elf sings and plucks his lute courage and fortitude fill the hearts of all within earshot...

​

Then, stowing his instrument, Salgyn declares, "Come, ve must make for tower now to save all the lives we can." Taking Uyanmas' reigns back from the master mason, Salgyn mounts his horse in preparation for the trek to the tower.

OOC: Salgyn spends 2 surges to top off.

[Dekana]

OOC: Sorry H.M., but Eithal wasn't included in the Healing Flood daily. Only Fred, Scar, and Toeto can end the effect for the 11 hp.

 

[Mewness]

OOC: By the way, there's still a LEVEL 6 VIAL OF HOLY WATER to be given to someone. Please take the thing off my hands.

 

[ronakshah2000]

Yishim rests for a moment, heartened by Salgyn's song. Those of you on the switchback mentioned some airborne motes which re-animated the dead. Could you describe them?
[sblock=Yishim and Arcana check]
Uses 2 surges to get to full. My prior stat blocks showed me w/o an action point, but I had not spent one in this adventure.

Daily used: Brooch of Shielding

Not sure if the motes are common knowledge among the party or something truly new. If they are new, I'll take a trial at figuring out what they are. Monster Knowledge on Motes (1d20+11=18) I have the Daunton background, but can't remember if that helps in this case.

Yishim- Male Human Wizard 3
Passive Perception: 14, Passive Insight: 17
AC:18, Fort:13, Reflex:18, Will:17, Resist 10 Force -- Speed:6
HP:29/29, Bloodied:14, Surge Value:7, Surges left:4/6
Initiative +5
Action Points: 1, Second Wind: not used
Powers: Scorching Burst, Chilling Cloud, Phantom Bolt, Shield, Grasping Shadows, Maze of Mirrors, Orb of Deception, Phantom Chasm, Orb of Unintended Consequences, Brooch of Shielding[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: Sorry H.M., but Eithal wasn't included in the Healing Flood daily. Only Fred, Scar, and Toeto can end the effect for the 11 hp.

OOC: That's OK. As it turns out, a single surge +5 gets her up to full anyway .

 

[Iron Sky]

With the group rested up, the group continues up the switchbacks. About half-way up, you reach the point where a path leads from the switchbacks off into the woods. Mason stops and glances at it, then the party. "Looks like there's still some ravens up there on the tower. Do we want to keep going up the switchbacks or see if we can sneak around through the woods? Or maybe just send someone to scout?"

GM: Little note pac, you have Salgyn as a level 1 Bard in your statblock...

[sblock=Yishim]You haven't heard of these things directly, but based off the descriptions that the others give you of them, they sound like animated manifestations of some potent necromantic energy.[/sblock]

 

[Luinnar]

This one can use the paths of shadow, going quiet as a mouse to scout to see if there is the forces of chaos near. Kaz says.

OOC: Kaz can scout ahead if the party wants.

 

[Xeterog]

We know they are near, and they know we are here. Seems pointless to me to be anything less than direct.
