Dead Legends

[Jemal]

Kayla goes over to the gathered townspeople and attempts to calm them before asking a few what happened.

[sblock=ooc] Kayla asked 10 minutes ago when she started summoning the rain for the other heroes to evacuate the town. Since nobody's posted otherwise in the interveening week, I'll assume they did as requested.

If the townspeople are too hysterical/angry/whatever she'll cast Calm Emotions if required (Diplomacy check to calm them otherwise). If they can't give any info on the events, she'll have to resort to Hindsight, but I just noticed that it's a 1 hour casting time, so if time is of the essence I'd prefer to find other means of information.

Ishasha is lost in plans to battle the Tarrasque, so its a while before Kayla's request to save the towns people register.

Ishasha has not much experience with town and strangers. Much less burning towns and frightened strangers. This along with the fact that most of the people who can have already fled, means that she ends up trying to use her insignificant strength to free trapped people while dodging burning embers.

Finally deciding that she has done all she can, Ishahsa goes over to where Kayla is calming the townspeople.

Kayla and Ishasha converse with the townsfolk, who at this point are far too downtrodden to hold back anything. Other beings continued to appear around the town, and a few of them decided they did not like each other and began fighting. One of them was a powerful mage dressed in red who wielded the power of fire. He incinerated every opponent who came his way, but as a result of his actions the town was lit on fire. Before the townspeople or the mage could do anything however, the tarrasque burst out of the woods and devoured him. It then immediatly set itself upon the town, smashing it to bits and then leaving off to the west.

"Well, I guess that means it's hunting time." Kayla raises her voice to speak to the people "You should go elsewhere in case more come, it's not safe here, but we'll hunt down the beast." She then turns to look at the tracks "Lets move as quickly as we can to catch this thing." She says to her companions, as wings grow from her back.

[sblock=ooc] I think Ishasha's the slowest party member at 50'.[/sblock]

"Kayla before we start. Can you fill us in on what you know about the beast's strengths and weaknesses." Ishash asks. She knows she has asked before but didn't get an answer that time.

"We can talk while we hunt, this beast was only here a short while ago, but the trail is getting colder. I'm going to do some aerial reconnosance and see if something that big is spotable from here." Dizzy takes flight and rockets into the sky, her form occasionally blinking in and out of existance as soars 1000ft into the air and looks west.

 

[ghostcat]

"I wouldn't say the trail getting cold. It looks like it was made by a herd of stampeding horses. Admitted, the beast is getting further away as we speak." says Ishasha

Turning to the villagers she ask "Are there any more villages in that direction. If so, how far away are they."

 

[Jemal]

After the others ask one or two more (QUICK!) questions to the villagers, Kayla too urges that they follow the beast, filling them in on what lore she knows of the mighty tarrasque.

[sblock=ooc]
BTW, Dharuhk, is the Tarrasque Kayla knows about anything different from the 'standard' tarrasque in the MM? [/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

The symbols and runes graven on Omega's hide pulse with light, and the construct lifts into the air with a quiet humming noise.

"Setting pursuit course."

Pale blue flames blasted from its heels, sending it in on a high arc up and over the devastated area as it followed the path of destruction in its wake.

 

[Dharuhk Svahre]

As Dizzy flies up, she sees the horrid wake of destruction stretching out into the forest. About half a mile, the forest breaks into a clearing on the mountainside, and aproximatly a quartermile further a hulking figure can be seen moving west.

The townspeople report that there is a town to the west about 16 miles.

[sblock=ooc]
what you know about the tarrasque is whats written in the monster manual. [/sblock]
