[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7614125, member: 9255"] DARKSUN: THE ELEMENTS OF EVIL SEGMENT 014 “LEAVING ALTURAK” 05/23/19 SEASON: FRIEND’S VENGEANCE YEAR 24 MONTH: THE ELEMENTS DAY: 01 KA: 190 The caravan is still in sight of the walls of Alturak when they spot something on the road ahead of them. Something big…. Something huge. Koe recognizes it quickly. House Shom. A lead scout, flying a flag of black and red with a trio of white dragonflies, rides a crodlu to meet them. “House Shom requests you to give them room.” The elf rider makes it clear it is not a request- it is a command. “The mekillot is unruly today. House Shom can not guarantee the safety of those before it.” Koe has stepped back and put the cart between the elf and himself. Olan then sees him pulling his hood up. Yaesha notices also. “House Tsalaxa understands and will respectfully give space for your ailing beast.” Everyone steps to the side into the loss sand and grit. The gargantuan beast lumbers by. As it trained to intimidate them the tongue flits out and tastes the air. Drak feels adrenaline pumping within him. This is how elves feel around him. Glorious. Olan looks up and watches as from windows, on the third level (yes- third!) of the wagon, archers peer down. Their arrows notched. A psion concentrates on the beast and another man, possibly a defiler, looks down with hate. Shortly the mekillot lumbers by and the rear guard passes. Yaesha spits on the ground. “Shom.” DAY 2 “Black Sand?” Asks Koe. Two small clouds of dust rise from the desert that are converging onto the King’s Road where they are. Yaesha sneers. “Yes- I believe so.” The tiefling shrugs. “At least they give us some warning.” He adds. They stop the crodlu and prepare their ranged weapons and powers. As the riders become more visible, Koe cracks his neck and pulls out the sling. Sling bullets made of stone zing out with a loud snap. Arrows from a +3 compound longbow twang repeatedly and a tingling sound emits as Choro powers up and release a wave of energy. Riders begin to drop. Then they are onto the group. Choro’s Inix is bitten by the leader’s kank and immediately begins to quiver. He is in trouble. Speaking of trouble, Koe finds three riders and their kanks surround him. Dust rises and clouds the area. As the inix falls, paralyzed from the kank bite, Choro falls off his mount. The leader can now see Olan whom was using Choro as a visual shield. “Zeburon?!?” the leader calls out. “Is that you?!?” Before she gets an answer, Yaesha’s arrows strike her. [DM NOTES: 2 crits! One confirmed!]. Koe notes these riders have the green fungi on them also and avoids any prolonged contact with them. Drak has no fears and tears through the raiders, Gythka and bite. The leader sees how this is going to end and calls out a retreat. Yaesha rains down arrows on them as they flee. “These ones…. They have the sickness also. Like the skeletons.” Notes Koe. “The raiders got into something they should have avoided.” Adds Yaesha. “I hope it wipes them out.” “Can it spread?” asks the concerned mul. “Avoid them. Let the kes’trels have them.” “Tell that to Drak.” Olan points and calls attention to Drak. The thri-kreen is looking for goods on the dead bodies. Happily, he collects 32 silver after going through all thirteen bodies. [DM NOTES: Rolled for him to see if he contracts the disease. 18, 17 19, 16 then nat 1 and a 3……] DAY 3 “Drak….. the elves do not like you and you can not help yourself- you encourage it. Stay outside of the walls of Silver Springs and meet us on the other side.” Suggests Yaesha. “Klik….. like being inside….Enjoy it….” “But the unease is increasing. I don’t trust them to attack you or deny us entrée. Please.” The mul watches this exchange. Yaesha is hiding something. “Very well. Clutch asks….kli….. me to stay out. I do.” The Master of The Wall watches as the thri-kreen breaks away. Yaesha and he speak and payment is made. Yashae tends to the animals as Olan walks away to see the Silver Hand elven tribe’s defiler. Koe, not happy by it, follows. Choro follows. His curiosity is growing about this woman. Maybe she can find Goro and his parents. Olan is stopped by two warriors. “Lilapaul is not here today. Perreau can see to your wants if you wish.” Olan declines the companion service. He wants Lilapaul for her magics, not her body. Yaesha asks about potions. With Lilapaul being out, there are no potions available. Yaesha thanks them and asks about the Black Sand Raiders. The elves at the water have little to add. They have been more confrontational lately but nothing more. They step out and collect Drak. It will be a long way back to Draj. The next two nights Olan attempts to make an unique weapon for Koe. Each night he does a poor job and breaks the goods. Olan is deeply sorry. [/QUOTE]
