[Adventure] Path of Cold (DM: Velmont, Judge: Ozymandias79)

[Nebten]

Last place I want to die is at sea. Sail away and come back another day, I say. Tis the machine's quest and he stands quiet.

Dane starts to wrap himself around the waist with a rope tied to the mast.

 

[johnmeier1]

I can do nothing to storms, that much water can overcome any fire. Georg grumbles.

 

[stonegod]

Incarnation has been standing motionless at the mast since the last battle, looking at their destination. If the storms are a constant threat, then waiting solves no problems. We must push on.

 

[Velmont]

The ship go straight into the storm. The boat get shaken by the large wave that come crashing on the deck. The cold water of the sea froze everyone. The wind being too much of a threat for the sails, they have been removed. Suddenly, two huge waves raise at least five time higher that the mast.

"Oh my god... I've never see that... " tell Gruco when the top of the wave takes the shape of horses. The group, under the order of Gruco, try to handle the ship to avoid the full hit, but they are unable to prevent the worst. Crushed between the strength of the two waves, the ship explodes in small pieces, the group is projected into the water.

Incarnation receive the mast behind his head and fall immediately unconscious. Raiyek try to swim, and banish his armor to avoid being drag to the bottom of the sea by the weight of it. Georg try to use his magic to heat himself, but the cold of the water seems more powerful than his magic. He is also unable to spot Dane Hadrak or Incarnation. After a moment, he is drag away from Raiyek and it is just a question of time before he felt exhausted and lose consciousness.

 

[Velmont]

Hadrak awakes in his house Mykanos. Last time he remember having slept there was before he was captive. He looks around. It is warm but dark. He hears the sounds of metals hitting metal. The familiar sounds of a forge. The smells carry the burning scent of the coal.

He get out of the bed and follow the sounds. The house is empty, and the sounds seems to carry far as even if come closer, the sounds doesn't become louder. Getting out of the house, he walks among the empty streets. The city seems to be a ghost town now. Everything is in the dark and only his dwarven sense allow him to travel safely in the dark.

He suddenly see a light. The sounds seems to come from there. He follow it and see the forge where it comes. He stop in the doorway and look inside. He see a dwarf working. He cannot identify the dwarf, he see only his silhouette, but the dwarf seems to be muscular and hunched. Hadrak stares at him working, fascinated by the work. He stares at him endlessly.

As he finish his work, the object he has been working is a golden cup, richly decorated. Hadrak has never seen anything like it. It seems of great quality. The balcksmith turns around. Even if he can`t see his face, Hadrak feels his stare. A benevolent one. The blacksmith suddenly leave, leaving his cup behind. Hadrak walks slowly and inspect the cup a moment before touching it. As he take it, he hears the city becoming alive again. People walking outside the forge, talking. The city is alive again...

 

[Velmont]

Incarnation is the first to awake into a tent. He is bounded and naked, as most of his companions. Sigarr and Gruco seems to be missing, but Raiyek, Dane, Georg and Hadrak are all there. They are on the cold ground.

As he analyze the situation, two Goliath enters the tent. Both talks to each other and laugh a moment. They look at the group. One start to inspect Dane. Open his mouth, feels his muscle. The second laugh as he seems to compare Dane with Raiyek. Raiyek awake suddenly as one of the Goliath kick him and laugh.

But before they can continue there inspection, an horn is heard and the two Goliath quickly rush out of the tent, grabbing into their hands there clubs.

 

[Nebten]

OOC: If Dane is able to, he would like to have changed his armor into close before heading into the storm.

The dwarf gags, then spits and then spits again after being defiled by the giant-kin. He looks around at his naked companions and gives a side-ways smirk.

Dane then inches across the floor towards Georg.

Are you able to burn bindings? Don't worry about me.

 

[stonegod]

OOC: The joy of naked warforged. His hidden blade is safe either way, but what of the embedded components? These are inside of Incarnation until released. His armor is attached (and thus could be removed easily), but his other implement, gloves, and eyewear were all embedded. Usually requires a -5 perception check to find as they are not obvious.

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Dane's Armor have been probably changed appearance... fighting a storm or swimming with an heavy armor on your back is hard. But Dane still awake naked and he has no cloth, so his armor is just as gone. For Incarnation. Hidden blade is safe. I had forgotten for his embedded components. They have found your rod, but you still have your glasses and gloves. Raiyek had his armor unsommed as he felt into the water, so he still have access to it.

-''...Eefaystos?'' wondered Hadrak. ''Yeah, that's a dream all right. Where's the brotherhood of Eon?''
