pneumatik's WotBS 2 - The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

[pneumatik]

Gwenvere stands at the edge of her pool and watches the party leave. Several times she takes a halfhearted step to follow but never leaves the water. By the time you arrive back at the seela village the sun has set. Tiljann offers you space on the floor of her cave to sleep. The seela singing the Song of Forms change their tone to be quieter and soothing and lull you to sleep.

You awake the next morning to the Song of Forms swelling to a crescendo. The singer's lyrics explain the reason for the current singing of the Song: to capture an entity so it can be defeated. When you look up at the singers' tower Tiljann waves back.

Hollister awakens and studies his spellbook, making sure he is at full strength for the trials that the group must certainly face ahead. That done, he prepares to head out again to face the fiery dryad.

Shaylir could hardly sleep. She spent time talking to Fritz last night before the little fox drifted off to sleep but she laid awake stroking his soft fur.

She finally fell asleep and was awakened before she knew it by the new day. "So much to do," she could be heard to say as she washed up in the warm waters of the lake. "And I need to be prepared."

After washing she sat and meditated and prayed to The Green Man. She promised him she would do her best and would help as best she could.

As she eats a listless breakfast she asks the group. "What kind of help do you think Timbre will give us? Maybe she will make another wooden sword. I would love to have a sword that was alive like that."

Lytha

“Well, I hope she does help us now. And, of course, that with her help, we will be able to defeat this demon.”

Lytha has been meditating, as she does every morning, to keep her mind fresh and keen. The rest was most welcome, and now the elf is ready for the next part of their journey.

You head back to Timbre's grove fully prepared for adventure. When you reach the top of the stairs that lead to the clearing around the grove it's difficult to not be overwhelmed by what you see. This was obviously once a beautiful and calming place in Innenotdar forest. As you look around now everything is nearly destroyed by flames. Burning rose bushes surrounding the clearing filled with burning grass. A literal wall of fire surrounding the grove itself, creating waves of heat that rise up from Timbre's willow in the center. And charging at you are two dire boars, both on fire.

Everyone roll initiative.

[sblock=OOC]I don't think we need to bother with a map yet. The boars are specfiically charging Liiros and Arshen.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

"Here we go again," Shaylir says. "But we have the hair!" she shouts.

As the fire boars get closer she adds.

"Umm... guys I don't think they are stopping this time. LOOK OUT!"

“Well, so much for a meeting on friendly terms...”


OOC: Initiative 5

Hollister sighs, and prepares for battle.



OOC: Hollister would have cast Mage Armor as a precaution before arriving at the grove.

Liiros Tivaniel

Liiros trances with some difficulty, unable to set aside unpleasant thoughts about Innenotdar and the whole situation here. His mind is hardly refreshed by the meditative rest, and he is unable to pull his mind away from thoughts of the Fire Forest's dangers long enough for any significant mental combat-training. He rises in the morning with a bad taste in his mouth, then spits out some ash that got there. Donning his heavy armor once more, the elf readies his shield and leads the group back to Timbre's grove.

However, once he gets there, he's a bit surprised to see the fiery boars charging already.........he was expecting a slightly warmer reception from the crazed dryad, considering that they came bearing a gift of sorts. The elf's mind shifts to battle mode, but not as quickly as he would've liked. He really needed to hone his reflexes more.....

[sblock=ooc]Initiative of 9.
1d20+1=9

OOC: Sorry, it's been so long since the last fight I forgot how we do fights here. Boars get a 6 for initiative. Everyone who beat a six can take their actions now. So far that's Liiros, Shaylir, and Hollister.
