Heroes Must Rise! [Erekose13 Judging](Concluded)

[Steve Jung]

Charlarn of Phyrah: male human cleric 5/ranger 2

"I have a clairvoyance spell, but its distance is insufficient to view either the city or the volcano top. Personally, I distrust the city. We don't know what we're looking for, and we would likely attract trouble there. I'd prefer to investigate the volcano top first."

Charlarn wipes his brow. "Yeah, less likely to find trouble on the volcano." He pats his haversack, which now holds his chain shirt. He notices Ignatious struggling with the heat. He lays his hand on the wizard's shoulder. "This should help some." The cleric generates a protective ward on Iggy. (+5 resistance bonus on his next save.)

HP 44/44

Zack feels himself naked wandering around unkown territory without any armor, but right now he doesn't have much choice.
"Agreed. Considering the natives we've seen so far, the city isn't exactly tempting."

 

[Patlin]

Choosing to avoid the city with its potential delights and challenges, you travel toward the volcano. Unfortunately, it seems something is following you out of the lava swamp. A raging column of fire, about 100' back, is heading toward you with what appears to be hostile intent.

[SlagMortar]

"I hope by sticking pointy things in it, but ... I have my doubts. Mongrel, don't let that thing see us!" Planus casts blindness (Fortitude DC 16) on the creature.

Planus sets his feet firmly, drawing an arrow and knocking it to his bow.

Charlarn of Phyrah: male human cleric 5/ranger 2

Choosing to avoid the city with its potential delights and challenges, you travel toward the volcano. Unfortunately, it seems something is following you out of the lava swamp. A raging column of fire, about 100' back, is heading toward you with what appears to be hostile intent.

Charlarn shouts, "Beware! Something's following us. And us unarmored." He breathes heavily and readies his shield. He grasps his holy symbol and casts shield of faith (duration: 5 minutes). A slight breeze swirls around the cleric, surrounding him with a shimmering silver field.

[Manzanita]

"It's a, uh, fire elemental." Iggy says. But he doesn't want to scare anyone by commenting on the size.

Iggy's mage armor has almost certainly expired. Nor do his scorching rays seem very promising. Negotiating might be possible. As unlikely as it might be, Iggy decides to try to avoid combat. He casts a tongues spell on himself, (standard action), then shouts out (in ignan or whatever) "We come in peace! We are here on an important mission!"
