[EBERRON] the Extraordinaries, 'A Terror Awakened, the League Reborn'

Fury moves with incredible speed for his bulk, rushing towards one of the beasts looking to attack. Slamming into the creature, he deals a powerful blow to its chest, putting his full weight behind the attack. Even from yards away, you can hear a sickening crack from inside the creature. It crumples to the ground in a heap, never to move again.

He then spins around, moving towards one of the beasts threatening Neville with a leap. He reaches out and grabs the creature by the neck, twisting hard to pull him into a deadly embrace. "NEVILLE! WATCH YOUR FLANK!" His voice booms out, accustomed to being heard over the din of battle.

OOC: Grapple the creature closest to me. Use the 'Damage your opponent' action to attempt to rip its head from its shoulders. No monster messes with the Extraordinaires ;)

"Blast, I'm not having much effect on these...things!!", yells Neville in frustration as he steps back and rips the not yet empty clip off of his crossbow, jamming a fresh one in its place.

(OOC- 5ft. step North(?), up that is, and reload, saving the last clip for later[full round]. Henry will stand his ground and attack again.)
 

Azreal (Half-Celestial) War-Mage Paladin AC: 23

Azreal observed the battlefield from his advantage of height and looked for the best grouping of creatures (3 or more). He swept down toward them, incanting on his way. Azreal hoped to save the mules . . . and his companions with a fiery burst.

OOC: Move to best grouping for a fireburst (4d6 fire damage, 5 foot radius, reflex DC 18 for 1/2)
 

Marcus, showing remarkable clam despite being somehwat over-ridden with creatures takes a 5-ft step back (west?) toward the mules and prays aloud "Oh Silver Flame, with the roaring sound of your ever-blazing fire, smite these enemies of the faith!" (Sound Burst target the space 5ft south of Azreal. He should be in the air and not effected, but monsters h, i, j, k and l should all get hit. Sound Burst: 1 damage, DC 15 or stunned 1 round, resest in 6 rounds)

Marcus call to the others, having gotten TOO good a look at the attackers. "These things are...well, were...human...I think"

Amon grins from his amusing hiding spot, his features blending almost seamlessly with the landscape, he picks out the same creature again, unleashing a torrent of temporal instability upon the same creature.

OOC: Recall Agony, augmented to 4pp, spend focus to endow it, 3d6 dmg, DC 16 Will save for half. Uses Move Equivalent to regain Focus via Psionic Meditation 1d20+7 (20+7=27), DC 20. I should have picked Mind Thrust, would have been 4d10 damage (sigh).

As the last of the fat-sickly creatures falls to the iron first of Fury, the League members sign a bit in relief. The dozen or so dead bodies of the creatures lying on the blasted landscape start to hiss and almost boil, foiling the already rotten air in more. Collecting what they can, and calming the magemarked mules, the Leagues heads deeper into the Mourland, weapons and spells ready.

Within a few short hours, the broken hill-like landscape opens out to a low plain before the League. It seems that the muted sunlight shining down onto the plains, gives it a slightly reflective look - as if it were a poisonous body of water.

(occ OK I am going to move the game forward. Assuming that you won against the 'creatures' that first attacked the party. There is about two more hours of light left today, and the party can make for the strange plain ahead. The 'road' that they are to find and follow is somewhere below… as there has been a lot of time sense the last post PLEASE re-intro your character as it were. What are they wearing, what do they look like, etc.?
Prof, assume that your character is part of the group. I am going to re-post the characters short bios over in Talking the Talk. Now for the Prologs…
/occ)
 

///Prolog 5, somewhere deep within Mournland///

The Warforged knows as Steel-Saber rushed into the throne room and knelt before the so-called Lord of Blades and in a nervous metallic voice said “Master Blade, a carrier messenger has just arrived reported a group of fleshlings who have come through the Ordoft Gap and are making their ways out to the southern tip of the Glass Plateau. Reports say they destroyed without problems a large group of Famine Fanatic that attacked them in the Gap. The message also states that there is a large Warforged among them, which fits the description of the one you prophesied.

The Warforged on the throne leaned back into his iron chair and in a cold metallic voice replied “Good, yes… it is as I have foreseen it. Dispatch a Hand of Adamantine Blades and two of the Mithral Daggers to intercept them. I wish to learn more of the capacities of this – Warforged – to better judge its worthiness. Set a messenger to observer in case the Hands are destroyed.

At once my Lord of Blades!
 

///Prolog 6, far to the north, on a wind-swept island within the Lhazaar Principalities///

Something ancient stirred on the throne of bones – cold, hard and unfeeling, the thing twisted its neck with a loud audible pooping from sitting still for so long. Darkness dominated the chamber, with only a few weak small pools of light.

A humanoid being strode into the chamber; dressed in red darkweave robes with a large golden medallion around its neck and an emerald mask covering its face. Bowing its head as it approaches the throne, the being finally knees before the throne “My most holy Undying Goddess of Blood" it says in a low voice of reverence. "Our spies within the Breland kingdom tell us that they have re-learned of the existence of Sa'Goloth artifact, and that they have set into motion plans too recover it. They have re-formed their so-called League of the Extraordinaries who have been charged with seeking information about it. Our spies believe that they have already meet in Sharn and are now on their way into the Mournlands. The spies did not know if they were seeking a piece of the artifact or simply information about it

The thing on the throne seem to quiver – with rage or excitement it is hard to tell – and speaks with a voice full of malice “Fools" comes a voice, as if from across a great gulf "Do they seek to denied my destiny? Do they wish to assemble this Sa'Goloth and think that they can challenge my rightful rule and enviable transcendence of Godhood? I will not allow it!

Alert all my agents throughout Khorvaire too be on the look-out for these so-called Extraordinaries and to report any sightings immediately. Dispatch the best of the Emerald Claw and charge them with the mission of destroying these fools.

The robed prayer, stands, bows deep again and leaves the chamber. The creature on the throne then turned towards the shadows at one side of the chamber. "Dömöa' got' d'Ghûle" it whispers and from these shadows steps a tall and impossibly emaciated humanoid, completely swathed in form-fitting black leathery armor. A featureless leathern mask covers its head, sealed down the center with black stitching. There is no obvious eye or breathing holes. It crossing its arms before it, in an X pattern salute and bows. These elongated arms end in a four-finger hand, fingers that writhe like blind, hungry worms. A voice emerges from beneath the mask like gurgling mush flowing over a rotting tongue "Goddess" it hisses

The creature on the throne replies “You are the best of my Death-Cult Assassins Dömöa' got' d'Ghûle" it says with some pride in 'her' voice "Now you will prove it again. You leave immediately for Sharn where you are to organize our agents there. Seek out these Extraordinaries and do everything in your power to either discredit or destroy them, I care not, but do NOT allow them to continue with their quest.
 

Fury stands over his defeated foe, his hulking form casting a long shadow even in the dim light of the Mournlands. His Warforged nature is unique; an eight-foot tall mass of adamantium and muscles, with hard fists twice the size of a large man's.

He turns to face the League, relaxing his arms to his sides from the combat stance he had held until minutes after the fight had ended. His left arm extended straight, he retracts a mechanical spring-loaded bow back into his arm. A hatch slides into place to hide its presence.

"Time to move," he rumbles. "Is anyone injured? We must ensure combat readiness."
 

Gherald Preax (Amon) seems to materialize from the surroundings, his yellowed teeth in a sharp grin. The portly fellow readjusts the combover which shows quite the baldspot, clearing his voice roughly, "well, that was simple enough."

OOC: For other players just to reiterate: Amon basically just has assumed identities and is never really in a form that would distinguish him as a changeling.
