The 8th Evil Sage
Torrent shrugs. "I guess I'll keep the shroud, then."
You continue walking through the fire forest. Despite being fully healed by Torrent's wand, the heat makes it difficult to fell like you've truly recovered from the fight. The burning conflagration maybe contained off the elfroad, but it still sends powerful gusts of superheated air at you.
After several more miles of walking you see what looks like a stone bridge ahead with some sort of structure on it. You'll have to get closer to see it more clearly because of the ever present smoke. But before you can walk any farther, you hear loud cracking and popping sounds up ahead. Several trees on either side of the elfroad flare as explosions rip apart their trunks at the base. The trees fall across the road, blocking it right before the bridge.
The curtains of flame that lick meekly at the trees at the road’s edge suddenly flare, cinders bursting outward across you all. Behind you, you hear a sudden roaring noise, and looking back you see the road fifty feet away cut off by a furious wall of fire. The sides of the elfroad are quickly becoming hazardous as live flames reach out at you, and overhead the ash and cinders begin to swirl, coalescing into a searing spear. Then, with a thundercrack, the spear drives into the ground amid you all and explodes. Within the smoke appears a trio of miniature stags whose bodies burn like the inferno, with racks of antlers composed entirely of dancing fire. They paw at the ground, swing their fiery antlers, and prepare to attack, while the wall of fire at your back slowly moves toward you.
[sblock=OOC]Everyone roll initiative. If you beat an 11 (with an init modifier of +7) also post your action. With everyone going on no one is surprised. Torrent will go after the fiery stags.
Map is attached. Also attached is an overview of your current situation from the mod. Its' slightly more evocative than my spreadsheet map.
Hollister doesn't recognize the effect creating the wall of fire behind the party. He does recognize the three fiery stags as creatures composed of elemental fire. Game-mechanically they're medium fire elementals. Hollister can know any three bits of information about them.[/sblock]
