Obsidian & Granite

There are only very few times that he can remember lying on his back during a battle. In fact, he could count those who did on one hand. It is also important to note that he only has 3 digits on each hand. Returning to his feet, he quickly swings out with Granite and looks to connect the same way last time.

Want proof? I haven't touched my sheet yet because the dispel was in question, and this is a direct quote from the Ichiru section:

Note how the second dagger says "redirect greater dispel magic."

Ok, heres what I was looking for finally. I wasn't able to find them in your character sheet, and you finally posted where it was instead of assuming I'm all knowing (I need to manage 12 20th level character sheets, I don't have the memory for each detail.) I appreciate it when you guys give me all the rules involved rather than assuming I'm seeing what you see. IE: You say you have an enhancement that gives you one spell immunity and say you are immune to two spells instead of saying you have two items that grant immunities. I'm glad that got cleared up.

Btw, while this wasn't the final reason the dispel went off (I didn't think of this until I went off to work about 5 minutes later), in order to gain the effects of the weapons, you have to be activly wielding them. Unless you were carrying around both daggers all the time (which would cause a significant difference in some of your diplomacy checks :p ) you don't gain the effects until you draw them.

Finally, I apologize if I seemed argumentative. Your DM has been missing alot of sleep do to sudden changes in his work schedule. Even so, I try my best to activly post as much as possible, so I hope you all can forgive me for some of my misgivings.

Both Ichiru and Therin drop from the attack, and are left denesless for over a minute. However, the Lady simply strolls over to a chair and waits for her companions to recover. As they start getting back up, she responds to the acusing looks she recieves from them with a simple shrug.

"What? You wanted to know. its not as if I hurt you or anything..."


Obsidian trys to regain his footing, however his opponents uses the oppertunity to grab him (OOC: Attack of opportunity for standing, followed by a grapple attempt, which Obsidian loses.) She pulls him in close, her face pushed right up to his. However, before she can do whatever sinister act she was planning on, the Hellfire Wyrm charges and attempts to take a bite out of her. Dodging away with the construct still in her hand (OOC: Multigrab is fun lol) she looks at the dragon, looks back at the construct, and plants a deep kiss on Obsidian before tossing him aside and running away.

"Its been fun! I hope you don't miss me too much!"

As the tattered remains of the mountains defenses begin to regroup, the dragon slumps down in agony. Obsidian notices a strange man in a flame colored robe begin to descend from a cave in the mountain. Closer inspection indicates that the man's skin is red, and he has horns and a tail.

OOC: Congrats Bloodweaver1, you are the first character to ding. For being the first PC to face off against one of the campains main bosses, you are being given a level, as well as the "DM's Punching Bag" award :p . I'm just kidding, you actually did pretty good. Congrats once more.


The King smiles in a welcoming and yet seemingly untrustworthy way.

"Why, we can't have that. It is our job to assist you, not the other way around. You just name whatever you need and we will ensure that you get it promptly."


The Dark one looks towards the sylph, briefly investigating its theat value. After a few moments, he looks away and disregards the over-eager creature, though one would note an eye was still kept on it.

" Damian's not much of a talker I'm afraid. Wandered up here from the Underdark. Apparently he's lived there since he was a child. Quite a feat if I do say so myself. However, I digress. We should be off to Thrall now. "

He leads the party through the mountains, a cold and unfriendly place. Most of the memebers can feel like they are being watched, hints of shadows they surmise must in fact be the Barbarians keeping an eye on their territory. They continue on until they hit the country of Demualt, a lightly forested nation with plenty of streams, rivers, and small mountains dotting its landscape. Strangly avoiding any main cities or encampments on their three day trip, The trio of guides finally stop. Darimaus turns to the group.

" This is the end of the line. About an hours march from here is the border to Thrall. However, both sides have border watches, and considering the recent friction in relations, you'll have to figure out your own way to get across. I bid all of you luck in your travels. "

The three dissapear into the woods, leaving the group with their own thoughts and plans.

OOC: If anyone had any questions, actions, or conversations they wanted to do in the journey, please post them before your next actions.
 

Whin sighs and shakes his head, noticing Meekor's agitated state. With a look around, he counts the number of guards in the room (though it really doesn't matter, 2, ten, or a hundred would fall easily before him). "I believe we should continue the rest of our talk in private, Lord. If you could tell your men to leave, then we will talk.
OR..."
He steps closer and whispers to the Lord, his eyes flashing "Refuse and I will remove them for you... Know that either myself or my small friend could destroy everyone in this town, yourself included, before any could escape. You have my word that this will NOT happen, however, provided we are left alone."

*Assuming the guards leave*
"NOW, what I want, Sire, is to finish my 'quest' here and leave, and I believe that the best place to start is with this Aelim man, whom you are currently hiding from me." He puts up a hand to stave off the king's inevitable protest "NO, no more lies. My companions have both noticed your deception, and I must warn you that My friend here is not as patient nor as forgiving as I am." Whin pats Meekor's shoulder.
"I realize that you probably have your reasons for lieing to me, but whatever they are, I can assure you they will not matter if you continue to do so."

Getting to his feet and shaking his head, Ichiru looks carefully about the room. After taking a moment to compose himself, he addresses the lady. "That was quite a demonstration. I am sure we are both even more glad to have you on our side than before. While I am impressed, I humbly request that in the future you try to avoid negating my protections."

"At any rate, I will explain myself more fully now. I had intended to figure out whether you were more comfortable at long range or close range; I see now that you are formidable at any distance. That is good. Here is my plan.

"I will be picking up an item that may help with tracking down Aelim. My benefactor wishes this to be a private transaction. However, I believe in preparedness. Making our own arrangements for security will probably be best.

"The transaction occurs tonight, in an inn. If possible, I wish for us to buy out all the adjacent rooms of the inn using different guises, to minimize the likelihood of outside interference. We can then more easily make preparations to detect, intercept, and neutralize enemies, if need be. Of course, I would welcome your suggestions or modifications."

Totally understandable. I realized this morning when I read your post in the OOC thread that I had been assuming a familiarity level that was just not fair to assume. I'll pose Ichiru as toying with his daggers when they are drawn in the future.[/sblock]

Eoin keeps his eyes open during the journey. Thank you Darimaus for taking us this far. we are going to try and get over the border as soon as possible
Eoin continues to move silently and hiden

[sblock=OOC]
moving at 30ft./round instead of 50ft. (taking a -5 penalty on Hide and Move Silent)
Hide (1d20+44=58)

Lowryllyth had been unusually quiet and tense for the last few days. In Dambrath, relying on the kindness of strangers was tantamount to suicide, and it had been a very long time since she had been forced into such a situation. She had tapped into her psychic reserves to a dangerous degree during the sea battle and afterwards, confidant that she could catch up to the fleet. Things appeared better once the other survivors had joined her, yet still, she awaited the betrayal that she had imagined was inevitable. But now that her suspicions had proved unfounded, perhaps a question or two wouldn't hurt.

Lowryllyth, adorned in fine silks and platinum brocade, nods to her veiled major domo (and master) who speaks, "Yes, you have our gratitude. Before we go, could you point out the direction of the nearest city? Also, any information you have on the local political situation and the activities of the Disciples would be greatly appreciated."
 

The king breaks into a fit of cocky laughter.

[coor=brown] "I have no doubts about what you can accomplish. You could kill me, you could destroy this entire country, and probably never break a sweat doing it. The irony is that by doing so, you would be destroying everything you were sent here to save. Did you know that I am the son of the King of Almentra? As you are new here, you wouldn't know, but Almentra is by far the most powerful nation on this island. Filled with people who have become dissillusioned with the Gatekeeper, and who have built up their own strength. If you kill me, it would be considered an act of war by the people who summoned you, Halo, the country you entered from. Almentra would attack back, laying that coutnry and its allies to ruins for the loss of one of the King's bloodrelatives, and break the Gatekeeper's back forever, essentially doing the Disciples work for them. And all because you decided to hold a little hissy fit. I don't think you have it in you. Why do you think I sent the guards away?" [/color]


" Unfortunatly, what little information we know would probably only serve to fill your heads with more questions. However, Phelan has always been an excellent judge of character, so I will assist you once more. Here is an address to a Gloomwood Stalkers Guildhall in Halster, a small city about three hours sothwest of here, as well as a letter of recomendation. There, you can get into contact with people who can provide you with the answers you seek, and even aid you in your quest. But first, you must cross the border. I will tell you this. I hope you don't hate dragons. "

The elf gives the group a friendly smile before bidding farewell and heading off with his companions.


The Lady stands up and heads for the door.

"Well, its been fun, but I want to get some rest before the action starts. Call me when your ready."

OOC: I'll let you take care of the planning stages. Realistically, as long as its not too overblown and you're willing to put the resources forth, I probably won't object to any of the prep work your planning. Be as detailed as you want to be. Its more fun that way ;)


The red man casually strolls over to where Obsidian stands amidst the chaos and destruction.

"So you're the one the Stalkers were all in a huff about. You have to give them credit, they certainly know talent when they see it, though what they had planned for you, I can't begin to concieve. Obsidan. That's your name isn't it? I've only got the rumors to go off of here. I would like to thank you for aiding young Paul over there. That blasted woman comes back all the time just to torment him. I have a feeling she may start coming for you too. But where are my manners? Here isn't the place to discuss such issues. Would you accept an invitation to the heart of my mountain?"
 

*OOC: You never posted the gaurds leaving, as such I included the threat to get them to leave. If there had been no guards in the first place, this part
"I believe we should continue the rest of our talk in private, Lord. If you could tell your men to leave, then we will talk. OR..." He steps closer and whispers to the Lord, his eyes flashing "Refuse and I will remove them for you... Know that either myself or my small friend could destroy everyone in this town, yourself included, before any could escape. You have my word that this will NOT happen, however, provided we are left alone."
Would not have been said.*


"I care nothing for the gatekeeper or his country. I came to see about these Disciples and decide for myself what should be done about them." He steps forward and grabs the king, lifting him off his throne. "So congratulations, It looks like your Father gets to go to war, and MORE people get to suffer. And for what? So you can look cocky and arrogant in front of some strangers? Nobody will know what your last moments were like, And I'll make sure and tell them about your whimpering and begging. Hell, a little magic and there's even proof of you soiling yourself. So the first thing you're going to do is tell me WHY you lied to me. THEN, you'll tell me the truth. THEN, if you do both of those, you've prevented a war and possibly saved this entire island from the Disciples." Whin tossed the king back into his chair. "Now, wouldn't that feel better than a long, drawn out, painful, and pointless death?"

ooc: I'll expend moment of Presience on an Intimidate check, making it a +30... Would you add any ad-hoc Modifiers for the way I did it?
If not, the total is: 46.

[sblock=Intimidate from SRD]
You can change another’s behavior with a successful check. Your Intimidate check is opposed by the target’s modified level check (1d20 + character level or Hit Dice + target’s Wisdom bonus [if any] + target’s modifiers on saves against fear). If you beat your target’s check result, you may treat the target as friendly, but only for the purpose of actions taken while it remains intimidated. (That is, the target retains its normal attitude, but will chat, advise, offer limited help, or advocate on your behalf while intimidated. See the Diplomacy skill, above, for additional details.) The effect lasts as long as the target remains in your presence, and for 1d6×10 minutes afterward. After this time, the target’s default attitude toward you shifts to unfriendly (or, if normally unfriendly, to hostile).

The little goblin had had enough.... and with a few words to the god of magic his hand erupted into a sickly purple glow... a small ball of pink light in the middle was floating just above above his open palm as he spoke....(OOC: the spell is Enegry Drain) " MOVE Whins... this.. pesant has now angered Meekor more than he can takes.. I will DRAIN him of his lifeforce untill he TELLS us where the mans is... or.. he dies a messy MESSY paste on the throne!" the tiny and yet seemingly extreamly pissed off goblin barks at both his compainion and the king... " no more screwing around *I* have not gained me's powers to have some cocky..... king of whelps laughing at ME'S! He tells us where the mans is yes... or... he dies!" the goblin yelps out once more this time more vent ing at Whin than anything... he would take no more insolence...
 

As Whin's anger flares up and he rushes over to grab the king, he notcies the drastic change of all of his magical protections being suppressed by an antimagic field. (OOC: 20 ft radius around the throne. I'm assuming Whin tries to stop at the edge of the field, but if you wanted to continue with your origionally posted actions, just let me know). The King never loses his cool, staring defiantly into the eyes of his attacker.

"Whimper? Soil myself? I shall do no such thing! I have something waiting for me after death. Do you?"

When the goblin starts going ballistic, the king's eyes dart upward for a moment. Whin follows the gaze, and spots a pair of dark hands over his head, that suddenly shoot out and grabs at Whin's throat. (OOC: Sadly, this attack will take place while Whin is still in the antimagic field. He takes 66 points of damage from the two strikes, and must make two opposed grapples checks, attempting to beat checks of 44 and 45.) As his fellow party members see the attack coming, they notice two other figues drop from the roof in front of them. They realize they are now confronted by a pari of Ghasts.

OOC: Heres where the fun begins. I'll need all you you there to roll initiative. Chocker got 30. The two Ghast's got 22 and 26. Those who beat the critters can just post their actions as well as their checks.
