The Four Lands - The Great North

[Dracomeander]

Finnian finishes his spell and stretches some kinks out.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm not too keen on being a giant even temporarily. If the wind is still a problem, I'll just hug the tent here."

Bracing against the wind, Finnian slips back out of the tent to see what is going on.

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston looks up just in time to see Vadric swept away into the storm. His yell is completely drowned out by the storm and the booming voice. Then the lightning begins to fall around the cove and thunder blasts deafen him. He continues screaming senselessly, dazzled by the flash of lightning and stunned by the impact of the shock waves. He runs a few paces in the direction that Vadric flew before pulling up short, abruptly comming to the realization that his friend is gone.

Turning back, he can see that a large huminoid has emerged from the tent. Through the wind and sand he can make out the recognizable form of Bertrand. He ducks his head and pulls his shield up reflexively to guard against the worst of the blasting sand and makes his way back to the tent.

Jaroth

[sblock=for dm] Is there anything Jaroth can do to protect his friends from the wind? For example creat mini "eyes of the storm" around them? Unmodified d20 (you decide what to add for this feat = 10 [/sblock]

The Cove

Jaroth
[sblock]Most likely Jaroth could if he was the person that had actual control of the strom and bent it to his will....alas another being has seized control and is bending the energies to his will....wanna make a will power check and try to wrestle control from him?[/sblock]

Jaroth

[ooc: If we live through this, I think it should be called Jaroth's Gambit.]

[sblock=For DM] Jaroth urges Zephyr to spare his friends as they have only sought to bring justice to the dark ones for their foul actions. Diplomacy Check = 30 [/sblock]

The Cove

Jaroth
[sblock]Okay got a 30 for dimplomacy in order to influence the Zepher but if you are attempting to inforce you will on the storm i will need a will power save [/sblock]

The Cove

Annsiston begins to make his way to the tent only to meet the now enlarged form of Bertrand moving carefully away from the tent. As he joins up with Bertrand, Finnian emerges from the tent. The wind is still increasing in strength and the water is freezing as it begins to drench the trio. Forming up, they notice thru the wind and rain, a heavily armored figure on horseback moving towards the tent perhaps some 100 feet away. Kellson meanwhile tires to move towards the edge of the storm so as to avoid it's ever increasing intensity.

Standing alone and somewhat to the south of the tent, the party can barly observe Jaroth who appears to be standing in the middel of ths storm. Even from a distance and the poor visialbiyt, they can see strain and tension etched in his body's posture.

For Vadric
[sblock]Bourne far away on the wind, Vadric manages to invoke his spell and ride the winds. The force of the wind is such that he either has to go to ground or continue being blown westward away from the party.[/sblock]

Vorian

OOC: I thought I'll walk toward the party holding the reins, but it seems I rode too much alone this past months

Seeing men he was looking for in front, Vorian dismounts, heavy wind trying to knock him down, but heavy armor, horse and plain old physical weight keeping him grounded.

He slowly approaches, Orderbringer sheated.

Upon observing large form in this poor visibility and thinking instinctively of ogiers he draws Orderbringer and stops eyeing the party for signs of hostility.

OOC: Change color from this to this so it gets readable

Ho, men, who are you bearing signs of Light and keeping company with ogiers?! Identify yourself.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian holds the stay of the tent and turns to the new comer.

"You can see we are in the presence of warriors of the Light and were just battling some very dark creatures. We are looking to see what this wind has left of our foes. What makes you think we keep company with ogiers? Followers of the Light are allowed to use its power against their foes. I assure you, while Bertrand here may not have the fairest face, he is a far cry from an ogier.

"Now who might you be who come challenging the dark in this forlorn land?"

 

[Neurotic]

Vorian

I apologize if I insulted Your companion, in this blasted wind details are really not visible. I helped because I believed I saw people of Light. You'll understand if I'm cautious, these are dangerous lands and I didn't expect any friendly humans in the vicinity.

I am Sir Vorian of Oldoak, knight defender of The Lands. There is company of riders less then five minutes behind me and I suggest we move to more defensible position. You can introduce yourselves on the way. I believe they are here to help those we battled. There are two more companies, one heading along the coast, other riding south.



Vorian is huge man seemingly in his late twenties or early thirties. Dark hair is bound into a top-knot while beneath bushy eyebrows green eyes observe the world with sparkling curiosity.

He wears green tabard matching his eyes over dark blue full plate. Both tabard and plate have stone fist holding the balance emblazenod on them. On the plate complicated swirls can be seen encompasing lower part of the fist. Mirror-like shield can be seen under long cloak and decorated pommel of a longsword is within easy reach on his belt.

Cloak and traveling gear look like he is outside of civilisation for quite some time.

Around the neck holy symbol of The Light can be seen.

Vorian leads large silvery gray mare with black tail and mane.
