6:03pm  2016-10-05 Smon Has entered the room
chris107: Hi Guys
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello!
Smon: Hi all.
chris107: So we rescue the Tigerclaw fro the curse of Varek this evening?
Smon: Smon: After a couple miles you top a rise and enter a small sheltered valley, low cliffs with several caves, from two of which come the smoke of cooking fires. Smon: Altanian scouts watch you from the clifftop as Tal leads you to the nearest cave, a hide pushed back to let in the warm breeze and afternoon light. Smon: Inside a dozen or so men, women & children of ragged and half-starved countenance. Smon: A grizzled and battered war chief, who Hakeem recognises as Kalgol, sits atop a bone throne, hands resting on orc skulls, while an ancient Wise Woman, the famous Mama Kala, reads portents in the fire. Smon: The wyvern stays outside. Smon: Kalgol rises as you enter. "Chief Hakeem! Wise Thuruar! Welcome! Women, bring food and drink for our guests!" Smon: Mama Kala spits purple dust into the fire, it blazes up eerily, casting multicoloured shadows on the cave wall. chris107: "Thank you Tal. Remember my words. Stay loyal to Bondorr and we shall meet again in glory." chris107: Hakeem adresses them. "This boy has served you well. I am Hakeem, the Slayer. I am here to destroy Varek." chris107: Smon: The flickering light seems to create images of characters battling, killing and dying - here a skull-warrior, there an enormous 20' tall figure wielding spear & shield... << Kjato Ragfoot: Hello Bill. chris107: How is school going? DESTROYERBILL: im just saying hello hi kajato ittill thers fighting chris107: Good for you Bill Smon: Mama Kala peers into the flames: "You will face Varek soon - very soon..." chris107: "It is my destiny revered mother."
Smon: I'm playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmA93ppNBws
chris107: Cool image of the flickering shadows painting pictures of possible futures
Smon: Suddenly you hear an angry roar from outside - the War-Wyvern!
Smon: At the same time comes the blare of the alarm-horn from the sentries on the cliff tops - suddenly cut short...
Smon: Mama Kala looks deep into the flames, nods and sighs.
Smon: "Now comes the hour of my death."
chris107: (Kjato, I hope your magic is strong tonight!)
Kjato Ragfoot: (I should sacrifice an oxen to the random number generator, just in case)

DESTROYERBILL: is it my go yet

Smon: Kjato quit after Thuruar died.
chris107:
chris107: We can take Thur to Lady Meda?
chris107: On the royal Wyvern
DESTROYERBILL: the whole campain forever or temparrly
Smon: You stand in a dell, corpses everywhere, the caves full of Altani dead - the Tigerclaw are likely extinct.
chris107: temporarily I hope
Smon: One survivor - in the distance you see the sun glint on wyvern scales as the great beast swoops round and heads back in your direction, several javelins sticking out of its tough hide.
DESTROYERBILL: we failed
chris107: Hakeem embraces his Draconian brother
chris107: and rips the armour from the corpse of Varek
chris107: then we must get Thur's body back to lady Meda.
chris107: We won Bill
Smon: There is a smoking black pit in the chest of the Armour of Bondorr, it will need quite some repair - and reconsecration.

chris107: 2 mins, been desperate for a pee for ages
Smon: Varek strips the armour from mouldering bones that seem years in the grave.
Smon: (well done guys)
chris107: The armour and sword are H's next project with the elven smith aenor
chris107: back in 2 mins. We must save Thur!
Smon: Varek was using the Tigerclaw to lure you into a trap, so I don't think there was much chance of them surviving - you would have had to beat all the orcs on init & charged out right away.
DESTROYERBILL:   we failed cry cry back to normal
Smon: Stop Varek getting into the cave.
DESTROYERBILL: bondor was defniatly angry at us
DESTROYERBILL: bondor was defniatly angry at us
chris107: Bondorr has given us victory
chris107: Varek or what was left with him is gone
DESTROYERBILL: well angry at the tiger claw
chris107: the armour of Bondorr and the black gem is saved
chris107: Did the lad survive?
Smon: No, Tal was incinerated with the others.
DESTROYERBILL: mabye the tiger claw diddnt give bonder his ofrings
chris107: Drat!
DESTROYERBILL: hwo is tal?
chris107: Then we need to gather any other treasure and get Thur back to Lady Meda
chris107: Tal led us here. he was the son of a sword knight.
Smon: GM The Tigerclaw paid the price for their failures in my previous 4e Southlands game.
DESTROYERBILL: hwo is tal?
chris107: see above Bill
chris107: He was a Tiger Claw lad, son of a famous sword knight.
DESTROYERBILL: OKAY SORRY
chris107: He led us to this camp
chris107: No probs
DESTROYERBILL: THANKS
chris107: Gather loot, safely store the treasures of Bondorr and get Thur back would be my vote.
DESTROYERBILL: why coident we git a rocket laincher from the futear
chris107: We need Athena's champion
Smon: The Tigerclaw had some small treasures that survived the fire - 2,900 Copper 1,000 Silver 100 Gold 3 bottle(s) of common wine (0.6 gp) 1 lute (35 gp) 6 lbs. of copper trade bars (3 gp) 12 gallon(s) of ale (2.4 gp) 4 azurite worth 10 gp each
chris107: That would be most helpful.
DESTROYERBILL: okay ill git the wiven ready
Smon: And a fire-blackened silver mirror worth 25gp.
chris107: those are great but our main worry is Thur and the armour of Bondorr. Hakeem will keep that and the gem closely guarded.
DESTROYERBILL: they wear poor
chris107: Poor Tiger Claw.
Smon: GM: You load up the Wyvern with Thuruar's body and the armour of Bondorr.
chris107: We need the speed of the Royal Wyvern now. Like never before.
DESTROYERBILL: they had no mony
DESTROYERBILL: okay
chris107: H will carry the armour and the gem.
chris107: A short rest maybe?
Smon: Red-furred Hyenas are already approaching, attracted by the smell of charred flesh.
chris107: I have 3 healing dice left
Smon: You can rest on the wyvern.
chris107:
Smon: GM: You flying back straight east, or north-east towards Ractuan, or...?
chris107: "Come Shieldbiter! Let us fly and return our friend to the land of the living!"
DESTROYERBILL: sure
chris107: (Drat I changed my screen saver to the map west of the mountains./ One minute
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFCG1oAJwFOGbYkrEhYfj7jyzNTItL8vU8Etg7GEL2k71t9JAdxmXtb2jaHPeBMkcFyRj6t8yAGmJZYSTVSYMhTBk3BGcmcryUF37ffHzHc3D-8mtvfu90vGJfbwdPM2o1JhOAvGIduHA/s640/Ghinarian+Hills.jpg
DESTROYERBILL:
Smon: Varek was CR 17, good news is that's 18000 XP, call it 20,000 with the orcs & ambush > 10,000 each.
chris107: Thusia is almost directly east
chris107: wow!
chris107: That and the armour etc could well put H to Epic level
chris107: ah not quite
chris107: I say we make all haste to Thusia for Thurs sake.
Smon: OK will stop there for tonight.
Smon: OK will stop there for tonight.
chris107: Cool. Thanks Simon, Bill. Shame Thur bit the dust so early
chris107: A real campaign milestone tonight.
DESTROYERBILL: bye cris
chris107: Maybe time for H to back out and learn some smithing skills while the others catch up and he reforges sword and aermour?
chris107: G'night Bill
8:03pm  2016-10-05 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
chris107: I'd really like Hakeem to reforge the Bondorr artifacts.
Smon: Doable
chris107: ready for the epic level game.
chris107: Then the others will be similar level too
Smon: It's a good idea to take time for reforging.
chris107: Happy to play a lower level character while the game time goes.
Smon: I could do more diplomatic stuff with Kjato if you definitely want Hakeem out of it.
chris107: Have a couple of cool ideas
chris107: I'm happy to play Hakeem all the time but I don't want to put the other guys out of the game.
Smon: There are issues with the Mara/Hara Nerathi not sorted yet
chris107: The forging stuff seems a good excuse to let them catch up
Smon: Thuruar would be good choice for emissary.
chris107: the best
Smon: Doubt Bill would care for diplomacy though.
chris107: Kjato really wants to bring the good Nerathi into the fold
chris107: And I agree. If we are going to win long term we need them.
Smon: So I suggest you make a diplomatic sidekick for Thuruar? Could be a Ranger of the Wode for instance, or Athena temple.
chris107: Your call of course Simon. What ever path you would rather us follow is good with me.
chris107: I'll have a good look at the PHB if that's okay?
Smon: Well that would work. It's a major plot point needs tending.
Smon: ok
chris107: Could fancy a go at a rolled character. 4d6?
Smon: I hear Beastmaster Rangers are underpowered so I'd boost them.
Smon: hm, ok if it's in order.
chris107: Either way it will be fun looking at other classes that can support Thur
Smon: want to roll?
chris107: okay
chris107: Sure
Smon: 6 rolls in order, good luck!
chris107: Then I'll have the character done before next week
