chris107: Evening Fergus
Smon: Somehow just clicked on my Races of the Wilderlands page - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/wilderlands-background-notes-gods-men.html
Smon: Nice pics
Smon: Hi Fergus
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZcgJZXrCG93nj62o5H_YkSaLNkblewPfctLqpOSnrbYvQsJzwlAo2-boZAMDy0jDXQ4JDNthLMAJw5HnHSZCdLqo1Fx1tc9235QiN7JjB_m8zPQohoNRRgwB9bc70lBNlyHzDpmDm3M/s400/Races.png
Smon: Antillian, Avalonian, Skandik & Tharbrian
sandor sunneson: Hello lovelies
chris107: The Avalonian Sorceress looks well cool.
sandor sunneson: Sandor will worship Bill the Backstabber
sandor sunneson: I did pick someone for him, a Norse God, can't remember who
Smon: There is but one God, and His name is Bill/Death
Smon: Has a nice timeline too, ends with 4433 The Neo-Nerathi Necromancer Borritt Crowfinger gains the Ilhiedrin Codex. 4434 Bisgen in western Altanis falls to the undead hordes of Neo-Nerath under Borritt Crowfinger and Tal Lorvas. Parre of Bisgen and the barbarian hero Varek of the Tigerclaw fall in a last stand holding the river bridge against Crowfinger's thousand ghouls. 4435+ The Necromancer-ruled Empire of Neo-Nerath begins to spread across western Altanis, from Morthor Coff's domain in the north at the Gate Castle of the Black Sun, south to the Orc territories south of Bisgen, her undead legions warring with the Altanian Barbarians and the newly awakened Warforged of Madcat Mountain. 4444 Captain Lance Harcourt seduces Jana Vex, who is exiled from Selatine. 4445 M12 The Pirate Tsamar is captured by Eldam Alamsor at Selatine, later executed. 4446 Black Sun Nerathi invasion of eastern Altanis defeated. Warlord Hakeem closed the Black Sun Gate; later he defeats his father, the brigand Warlord Yusan, and is acclaimed leader of eastern Altanis. The demigod Kainos conquers Madcat Mountain.
sandor sunneson: Reminds me of Bill & Ted that ha ha
sandor sunneson: Anyway, ready to rock and roll me,
Smon: last session http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/session-125-terror-of-stirges-29247.html
sandor sunneson: and if required, happy not to do childrens mission if it means assisting Ursa in caves, so it's easier for you to GM
Smon: chris107: Ursa. "Maybe you can hand hold the women and children Sandor?" sandor sunneson: Ok, you staying here Ursa then? chris107: Ursa settles down to keep watch and set traps for the invading Orcs. sandor sunneson: Sandor will be babysitter chris107: "Yup." sandor sunneson: Ajax will go back to HighHaven to get his HP back Smon: The amazon leader looks surprised as Hakeem starts off, but nods to Ursa. "We'll be glad of your aid, friend Dwarf." Smon: Ulfe: "And you have ME for two weeks, ladies!" He grins broadly.
Smon: GM: Am I right that Hakeem is tromping off on his own, leaving Sandor to evac the Amazon mothers & children?
chris107: Yes.
Smon: Ursa is staying to claim & defend the dwarf hold with the amazon squad?
Smon: What is Ajax doing?
chris107: yes
sandor sunneson: Going back to Highhaven to get his HP and spells back
Smon: Does Sandor need a long rest too before he sets out?
sandor sunneson: Quite hard playing MUers as once they have cast a spell, it can take a long time to get them back in game play. They are at too much of a disadvantage. Regards Ajax, he'll be ready for the war, cast some fireballs and then leave the battlefield or whatever he;'s doign and go and bake a cake or something
sandor sunneson: Sandor is pretty much at full strength I believ
sandor sunneson: So Sandor is ready to go
sandor sunneson: and assist the woman and children ??? lol
Smon: OK, 2 days after the battle (Sandor recovered 18 hp if down) he sets out with a convoy of amazon women and children for Thusia. It will take them about a week.
sandor sunneson: How many amazonae?
Smon: It takes fleet-footed Hakeem only 4 days however to trek from the high slopes of the Stone Tooth, across the Vale and through the Ghinarian Hills, back to Thusia.
Smon: They send 12 warriors with Sandor.
sandor sunneson: soldiers I mean assisting
sandor sunneson: cool
Smon: 3/3/47 after a hard day's trek through the hills on the pilgrims' trail north from the Temple Vaults of Belaras, Hakeem sees the little village of Thusia gleaming in the late afternoon sunlight.
Smon: Men and women are tending the fields and planting the last crops before Dry Season.
Smon: Here and there, sheep browse unmolested by the half-orc menace that has come to Bratanis to the east...
chris107: hehe
Smon: As Hakeem comes into view, a poncho-smocked & broad-hatted ghul farmer is the first to spot him. "It's Hakeem! He's back!"
Smon: The villagers break off from their work and cheer Hakeem as he tromps the last few yards to the village gates. "Hakeem! Hakeem!"
Smon: Hakeem has barely passed through the village gate when he sees his lovely wife Malenn come running towards him, their son Hasan in her arms. "Hakeem!" she cries joyfully, running to embrace him.
chris107: He embraces them both
Smon: Lady Meda, the Viridian-hued sorceress who also has done so much to protect these lands, emerges from her hall, smiles and nods in greeting.
Smon: Malenn: "What news from the Amazons, my love? Lady Meda has sent two guards to escort Aya safe to Selatine..."
sandor sunneson: This is like Flags of Our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima, 2 stories happening at the same time. :). Great GMing Simon!!
Smon: LOL
Smon: OOC Yeah you'll recall Aya was in Bratanis last session.
sandor sunneson: (Sandor is having a break in the green room whilst the Directors and cast concentrate on the Hakeem story....)
sandor sunneson: (Sandor will play an extra in the village greeting Hakeem, but be in disguise)
chris107: "The Amazons have taken dwarven ruins close to Highhaven, Ursa is there preparing surprises for them."
chris107: (The Orcs)
Smon: LOL This is the exact same day Sandro & Mordred & Zagaar are heading west from Bratanis at end of Saturday game.
chris107: Good timing
Smon: NIce coincidence for once.
sandor sunneson: (green room is busy)
Smon: Malenn nods. "That sounds good news. Come my love, Meda will want to speak with you."
sandor sunneson: (Sandor eyes the midget actors who play stirges, giving them the evils)
Smon: They're CGI these days Fergus.
sandor sunneson: Not in my wilderlands, just like the original Charlie and the Chocolate factory
Smon: And we only had a budget for 6 stirges but we used mood & feel to make it seem like dozens...
Smon: GM: Lady Meda greets Hakeem warmly and listens to his brief report. Meda: "The rains are ending early this year. It may be best that you go swiftly to join your people and rally your clans, before the Black Sun cross the mountains..."
Smon: Malenn: "Surely Hakeem has time to spend a week or two here with me first, milady?!"
sandor sunneson: Sandor gets the town guard costume out and mingles in the background
chris107: "I am minded to take my clans and my family elsewhere. I have no allies I can trust that will allow me to stand against the Warbringer."
Smon: Sandor is trudging across the lush meadowlands of the Vale alongside a large column of amazon mother & wee bairns, accompanied by a small squad of warriors.
sandor sunneson: he'll chat to the ladies
sandor sunneson: Assuming he doesn't know any of them
Smon: Meda: "You have us, Hakeem."
sandor sunneson: But focus on task in hand
Smon: Malenn looks concerned: "You seem downcast, my love? Did something untoward occur? Ursa is safe, yes?"
Smon: Sandor finds the shapeliest amazon to chat to.
sandor sunneson: Sandor will scout around the group of civilians to make sure danger is diverted
chris107: "I have no one to stand at my side. It will be my sword alone against the Warbringer's Spear. It will be my wife without a husband, it will be my child without a father."
Smon: (reminds me of my day with the ovely lady cops of the Tooting Safer Neighbourhood Team)
sandor sunneson: Is Sandor and party travelling along a used road?
Smon: Meda looks puzzled. "There are thousands who worship you Hakeem, as Bondor reborn. Thousand who would fight and die in your name."
Smon: Yes Sandor is on the road to the village of Plato with its Siren's Call Inn, where you stopped in for lunch, but the amazons plan to camp in the meadows, avoiding attention.
chris107: "I will not have thousands die in my name. "
Smon: Malenn: "We spoke before, Hakeem. Kainos is mighty and terrible, but you have the Sword and Armour of Bondorr. If anyone can defeat him, you can. That is why you must fight him - alone, so that thousands do not die. So the war can end."
sandor sunneson: Guess Hakeem's Sister ain't one of the Amazonae? lol
sandor sunneson: Sandor will ask one hour lunch and on we go?
Smon: Meda nods. "Malenn is right. The Nerathi question their leaders. They have turned to the use of Orcs. If Kainos falls, their soldiers will lose heart. With the aid of Dyson Logos I believe they will turn to our side."
chris107: ""Then I will do this alone. And I will do it now. Meda, I ask only one promise. If I fail, you will get Malenn and Hassan to safety. Use the mirror of Oriax if you have to. They must not fallinto the hands of Crowfinger. Now fetch Lord Rey. He will get me close enough to this Demi-God to do war upon him."
Smon: GM Sandor make DC 13 Persuasion check if you wanted to bring Laurana.
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 17,
Smon: GM: Laurana despite her reluctance did agree Sandor needed someone competent (ie her) along.
Smon: Meda: "I will do as you wish, Hakeem. But Kainos must fall in fair fight, before the army of Nerath."
sandor sunneson: (Sandor has mentioned to Ursa, that Hakeem's family could use Sodersfjord as a hideout if required, nobody would know who he is there)
Smon: Malenn: "I thought it better you fight him before our assembled hosts... But I trust your wisdom, my love."
sandor sunneson: (who they are there....)
Smon: Laurana strides along the road beside Sandor, a couple scouts ahead and the main convoy behind. "So, you all had fun at the Stone Tooth?"
Smon: GM: Meda dispatches a Raven Messenger to Carchimish, to bid Rey come attend.
sandor sunneson: It was a bit chaotic, they are setting traps there now for the orcs,
chris107: "The fight will be fair. I have never walked away from a fair fight. He will not live to bring the armies to the field. Without him the Nerathi will fall back West of the mountains and no more lives shall be lost."
Smon: Laurana nods. "I heard Artemisia got her buddy Bricis killed?"
sandor sunneson: Yes, by a big ogre. She took it rather personally, but is showing signs of leadership and coming into her own
Smon: GM: Meda and Malenn seem a bit doubtful, but trust Hakeem's judgement, for he has never failed them.
Smon: Laurana: "Leadership? Hmm."
Smon: "Let's head off the road here. That copse in the distance looks a good campsite."
chris107: "Do you have the talking stones? Can we speak with Thuruar. I must know what magic he weaves."
sandor sunneson: Sandor will head for the trees
Smon: Meda has: MI: 1d4+4 potions of healing, Ring of Protection +1 AC & Saves, 2d4+2 doses of Keoghtom's Ointment, Cloak of Elvenkind, the Heart of Dur - a giant ruby which functions as a Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals. Stored for Ursa & co: Old Bill's +2 chainmail AC18.
Smon: Meda: "Rey has one, Thuruar the other I believe."
sandor sunneson: It's worrying seeing the historical divisions in the alliance, I hope they hold it together. Where I'm from countries fight for land against each other, but big ones, here the alliances of scale haven't been formed yet. Hakeem and Meda have done amazing.
Smon: GM: Sandor & co camp in the trees, Laurana occasionally casting sidewise glances at Sandor as they eat their dinner.
Smon: Laurana: "We value our freedom here. We are not slaves to some great King."
Smon: L: "We have had many empires - the land is littered with their bones. Empires fall, but the strong survive."
sandor sunneson: Getting Dyson could be key, I like the alliance of using specific animals. They can provide guidance and knowledge that no human could come up with.
sandor sunneson: True, and nature too. Respect the lands and see what they can offer too.
Smon: Laurana: "The Dragon of Nerath is no mere animal. You did well to raise him from his ancient slumbers. A feat worthy of my brother!"
Smon: She smiles slightly at that.
Smon: Laurana looks into the campfire flames. "So, Sandor... do you hope Clenderi will bear you a son?"
sandor sunneson: Meant generically speaking, in the north, wolves and storm giants can be useful allies.
sandor sunneson: To be honest, I don't get you Amazonae getting rid of the child because of the tradition that the child has no control of.
sandor sunneson: What will be will be. I want the child to have a better up bringing than I did. Irrelevant of sex
Smon: Laurana: "We don't... In the past, yes, male infants were Exposed. Now we return them to their fathers, to be raised as Men. A man should not be raised by Women."
sandor sunneson: What will happen if it is born trans? Are they thrown away too by the Amazonae?
Smon: OOC I really don't think that is a word in Sandor's vocabulary Fergus. But nice piss-take.
Smon: Moving on...
sandor sunneson: Well, it's not something I agree with, so the flick of the coin of fate decides whether one looks after the baby or not. Sounds rather primative.
sandor sunneson: Cut......
sandor sunneson: Sandor will offer Laurana some fruit after she has had her main course
Smon: Laurana looks into the flames. "If I had been raised by my father, the Warlord Yusan, I would have been like my brother Arak, a worthless brigand. My mother Queen Khelara taught me strength, as your father did you."
sandor sunneson: OOC was being serious, interested to know how they would treat those types of humans
Smon: If you mean a baby born with intersex genitalia I guess you could say so. I don't think it would go well judging by ancient Greek practices.
sandor sunneson: My father changed once my Mother passed away, my Mother and Step-mother probably influenced me as much.
Smon: 7/3/47 4 days later, after a long hike across the Vale and through the hills, Sandor and the amazons are approaching Thusia, when they are joined by two fellow travellers, a slender roguish fellow and an incredibly gorgeous & busty brunette.
Smon: Laurana: "That's probably why you are not King of your land, just as I am not Queen of Highhaven. A Prince & Princess, denied our heritage..." She grins sardonically.
Smon: The travellers greet Sandor & Laurana. "Hello there Laurana old girl!" says the man, then turns to Sandor. "Rey, King of Carchimish, at your service!" he bows.
sandor sunneson: Well they have put my fat stepbrother in charge lol. Someone's pulling his strings too. lol
chris107:
sandor sunneson: Rey, a man of charm and guile so I hear. Honoured to meet you!
Smon: Laurana: "Hello King Rey, hello ...er, I'm sorry, I don't recall your name?"
sandor sunneson: Sandor,
sandor sunneson: and will shake his hand
Smon: The gorgeous (& tall) concubine smiles thinly at Laurana: "Alicia - Alicia Scarnetti, of Sandpoint, on the world of Golarion. Pleased to meet you, Prince Sandor."
Smon: Alicia, always Rey & Amalric's favourite - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoP_23jzerVtWYQk_6uNuf8SlkIV_oauGevgqz4QdNgOZHTPGJCI30Wq5ud6faAJXwEKAXvrKbg4Hek3pqwnphzPr0XYdCJDRWmnb6SNbzXUXqF4IkffQrTILcS7F8uUvPpKd-CDiHPDQ/s400/Alicia+Scarnetti.jpg
sandor sunneson: Jarl in waiting actually Laurana he'll say sarcastically back
Smon: Rey gives Sandor a firm handshake. "Good to meetcha!"
Smon: King Rey - http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/011/9/4/for_gold_and_glory___mostly_for_gold___by_solidtom-d5qqsoj.jpg
chris107: (OOC - count your teeth )
Smon: You walk together the last few miles to Thusia, Alicia & Laurana exchanging occasional barbs. They seem well matched.
sandor sunneson: I guess you will be on the way to assisting the great Hakeem? May the strength of the Norse Gods keep you safe
Smon: "Aye, Hakeem has summoned me for one last adventure!" says Rey.
Smon: "I was getting kinda bored in Carchimish anyway, nothing to do all day but..." he winks at Alicia. "...Well I guess it wasn't *so* bad."
sandor sunneson: I have a feeling I know what it will be, well there is always adventure round the corner if desired....
Smon: Your weary column arrives at Thusia at dusk, an amazon guard on the palisade blows her horn.
Smon: Hakeem Meda Malenn & Damne come out to meet the new arrivals.
chris107: "Rey!, Alicia!"
Smon: Rey grins broadly at the sight of Hakeem: "Hey, you old dog! I hear you're a demigod now?"
Smon: Alicia smiles and embraces Hakeem.
chris107: Hakeem shrugs. "Well, you know how people talk."
Smon: Rey turns to Malenn & Hasan: "And who's this fine fellow! Wow so big! Beating up your dad yet, eh?"
Smon: Hasan gurgles happily.
chris107: Hakeem flushes with pride.
Smon: "Da-da" says Hasan.
chris107: "This is Hassan Greywolf."
Smon: Malenn blinks. "His first word!"
sandor sunneson: A fine warrior he will make one day
chris107:
Smon: Rey: "Well, don't look at me kid!"
chris107: Hakeem looks at Malenn with some alarm.
Smon: Malenn blushes crimson. "Rey! He was talking to Hakeem!"
Smon: Rey looks to Hakeem, sees his joke might have fallen a little flat.. "Honestly Hakeem, your wife is the purest most faithful woman I know!"
Smon: Malenn "Yes Rey, and don't you forget it!"
Smon: She glowers, only half jestingly.
chris107: Hakeem roars with laughter. Happy to have caught his old friend out for a change.
Smon: Rey winces then looks relieved. "Ah... You got me. Must be losing my touch."
chris107: "Come let us go drink and talk. If it suits our Lady Meda?"
Smon: Malenn: "And you've put on a few pounds of belly-fat, looks like! Too many royal crumpets I'd warrant."
Smon: Meda nods, and you all retire to her Hall, Sandor & Laurana also invited of course.
chris107: "Royal strumpets, more like." Grins Hakeem.
Smon: The amazon women and children are settled in prepared accommodation.
Smon: Rey shrugs: "Well what is a King without a Harem..."
Smon: Alicia rolls her eyes, but clearly doesn't much mind - officially of course Rey is married to Queen Lyssana Koloth and Alicia is merely his 'Vizier'.
chris107: "Rey, you still got that old speaking stone?"
Smon: Soon a great feast is being served for you all, with much more for the hungry amazon girls outside.
chris107: "We need to speak with Thurar, urgently. We have a little job to do."
Smon: Rey nods: "From when I killed that giant sea monster? Yup!"
Smon: He produces the smooth round stone. "25 words, as I recall."
chris107: "Wow, twenty five words. Webest be careful. I wish he was here with us. We need his wise council."
Smon: "It can be used again next dawn." says Alicia.
sandor sunneson: IS that 25 per person or per day?
Smon: per day of course
sandor sunneson: thought so, new rules :P, old rules per person
chris107: "We need to know what magic he is weaving to aid in the battle with the Warbringer."
Smon: pg 274 phb
Smon: Rey: "Here, take the stone. Focus on it for an hour and you'll be able to use it."
Smon: He tosses Hakeem the smooth grey stone.
chris107: "I need to stop Kainos before he leads his forces onto the field. And, Rey. You're going to help me."
Smon: Rey arches an eyebrow. "Yeah? Is this going to be the Black Sun Gate all over again?"
chris107: "I find it hard to focus on anything for an hour. Well apart from this one." he gives malenn a hearty squeeze.
chris107: "It will be worse."
Smon: ooc Alicia sheet - http://smonstats.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/alicia-scarnetti.html
Smon: Rey sheet - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-amalric-pc-rey.html
Smon: Maleen grins and hugs Hakeem back, happy to have him here.
Smon: Rey sighs. "Great. As if Morthor Coff and Kaystar Saru wasn't bad enough..."
7:54pm 2017-7-17 subaltari Has entered the room
Smon: "Not to mention all those zombie t-rexes..."
subaltari:
Smon: "And that elf scout chick - well I guess she was ok."
chris107: "I think we will have one chance."
Smon: Hi subs!
chris107: Hi Subs
Smon: Doing a great job in White Star subs!
Smon: Rey: "I'm listening."
chris107: "We need to get to Kainos, kill him before the forces of the Nerathi can stir and then get out. Not a lot to ask from a fellow like you?"
Smon: Rey nods: "Well, they say he's 25 feet tall.... Shouldn't be too hard to find."
chris107:
chris107: "Can you go do some scouting about and find a suitable spot?"
Smon: Rey's gear - +1 ring of protection (attuned) +1 rapier of Agollos, potion of water breathing (1 hr) +1 mithril chain shirt Goggles of Night - Darkvision 60' 2 Sending Stones
Smon: Rey: "I can certainly go find him. Probably even not get killed doing it. I can maybe even get you to him, too."
subaltari: (Thanks, doing another 'lunch' post now )
chris107: "This sounds positive. I sense a but.."
Smon: Meda: "Our last reports were that Kainos had ripped open Madcat Mountain and is using it as his lair."
subaltari: ( So there's a Rey Telesca in your 5e game?? )
Smon: No
Smon: This is a VERY different Rey.
Smon: More of a Max Davidion type!
subaltari: More like a Rey Mysterio?
Smon: http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-amalric-pc-rey.html (NSFW major boobage)
Smon: Amalric's old PC, now NPC
Smon: Quite the lady's man!
chris107: "I need to know about his lair, if he has guards, is there more than one way in and out. Everything."
subaltari: My kind of guy
Smon:
chris107: "A map would be nice."
Smon: Rey nods. "OK. Long as he stays holed up there, shouldn't be too hard. He's only HALF God of War, right?"
Smon: Malenn: "I would think only the largest chambers could accommodate his great size."
chris107: "Yeah, nothing to worry about at all. I'll be doing all the bleeding. Don't worry."
chris107: "We need some way to keep his minions away while I hack him to death."
Smon: Rey to Malenn: "We're not talking about me, baby - sorry..."
sandor sunneson: Wise words Mrs G
chris107:
chris107: "Rey, she's used to a greatsword. A rapier is just not going to do it!"
sandor sunneson: Do we know much of his minnions?? Demons? Red dragons?
chris107: "So, map, way in, way out, way to stop his mates helping. You got that?"
Smon: Rey glares at Hakeem in mock annoyance. "It ain't what you got, it's what you do with it that counts! And there's as much steel in my Rapier as that LOngsword of yours, anyway!"
Smon: Alicia: "It's true, Rapiers and Arming Swords are of very similar mass..."
chris107: Hakeem again roars with laughter. Happy to have his old friend back.
Smon: OOC been watching too much ScholaGladiatoria on Youtube.
chris107: "Now we need to find out what magiks our friend Thuruar has been brewing."
Smon: Rey grins. "Sorry, now what were we talking about? Oh yeah, me not dying... Yeah, I'll scout out the place, find a route to him."
chris107: "Try not to die, Rey. Alicia would miss you."
chris107: "And Malenn says I don't need a vizier."
Smon: Meda: "Minions - soldiers of Neo-Nerath, perhaps some Priests and Magi. Knights, in numbers. Recently we have begun to hear word of Orcs clad in heavy steel..."
chris107: "And that is whyI must kill him. I will not have thousands die in my name."
Smon: Alicia: "No fear Hakeem, if Rey dies I'm getting Thuruar to send me home!"
chris107: "And why, Lady Meda. You must be ready to get my wife and child to safety, if I fail."
Smon: Meda: "Prince Sandor, Alicia Scarnetti here also comes from another world."
chris107: "You will have earned that much, Alicia. Meda, can you arrange that too?"
Smon: Malenn: "You won't fail." She regards her husband with absolute confidence and devotion.
chris107: "And for Prince sandor?"
sandor sunneson: Hakeem, I would suggest Sodersfjord area on Mystara as a bolthole worst case. It is politically safe.
Smon: Meda: "I cannot employ Banishment - but Thuruar can, yes."
Smon: Meda: "But I could perhaps use the Mirror of Oriax."
Smon: Malenn: "Technically I think I come from another plane too... even if a close one."
chris107: "I would have my son grow to be a warrior. Make sure this is so. Take Bloodletter for him to use when he is grown. Tell him of me."
Smon: Rey: "Hey Hakeem, just you and me are local kids! All these foreigners moving in..."
Smon: OOC Wilderlands is like London.
chris107: "The neighbourhood has gone down a bit." Grins the huge Barbarian.
sandor sunneson: lol
Smon: Malenn nods seriously to Hakeem, her slim hand on his brawny one. "If, one day, you fall, my love, I will raise Hassan. I will tell him of you. But it is not this day."
chris107: OOC - so it's arranged. If Hakeem falls, Malenn and the child go with Sandor?
sandor sunneson: Hakeem, I know of the whereabouts of 2 of the old town guard who fought for my father. They are good men and it is a bit of a longshot, but could come up with a story so they offer your lady and son safety
Smon: She raps her knuckles against the massive diamond on Hakeem's breastplate. "'Cos of that!"
Smon: Laurana: "Hakeem - brother - if you do fall, I will go with Sandor here to protect your wife and son."
chris107: "Oh, I'm going to trade the power of survival to hurt that bastard Kainos. It's him or me. The world is not big enough for both of us."
sandor sunneson: Why not even deliver them to Sodesfjord now, I could go in disguise and suss the place out a bit. I have money to pay for rent for your wife and lady
chris107: "Erm...because I'm not dead yet, Sandor..."
sandor sunneson: I meant hide them there whilst the war goes on, then go and collect them after
Smon: Laurana: "Don't mind Sandor Hakeem, he's always trying to lure us there. It must be lovely." she says, sarcastically.
chris107: "I will prevail."
sandor sunneson: Almost as lovely as you laurana
Smon: >>I'm going to trade the power of survival to hurt that bastard Kainos. It's him or me. The world is not big enough for both of us."<< Malenn pales at these grim words, and falls silent.
chris107:
sandor sunneson: But nothing can be that lovely
chris107: awwww
Smon: Laurana arches a sardonic eyebrow at Sandor, but really one can tell she enjoys the compliment.
Smon: Even if she would never admit it.
subaltari: (She loves you bro)
Smon: OOC I love Laurana, she's cool.
Smon: Naughty girls are the best.
chris107: (Hakeem does not understand magic, that's why he needs Thuruar and Meda. He has a half formed plan to use the powerful magical gem though...)
Smon: Meda: "Hakeem, if you prefer, I can employ the Sending Stone. What do you wish to ask?
chris107: "I was told that kainos could not be harmed by mortal man? That his shield protected him from all damage. I believe Thur was working on this? "
Smon: Meda nods. "I can enquire as to his Rituals."
Smon: GM: Meda takes the stone and holds it, Attuning to its powers.
chris107: "Also, I need Thuruar to ask his Lady of Wisdom to provide us with a suitable last meal."
Smon: Meda: "Last meal?"
Smon: Malenn: "A Heroes' Feast?"
chris107: "He fed us a meal fit for heroes before our last great battle."
chris107: "That was it."
Smon: Malenn: "I know of such, the hero Belaras of Mitra received such before his last great battle." (OOC he lost)
Smon: "The effects last but a day."
chris107: ( )
chris107: "If it takes me more than a day to kill the bastard, we're all in trouble."
Smon: Meda: "Hmm... my understanding is that Thuruar cannot leave the Temple of Athena, but he could provide a Scroll, to be used by a junior Cleric, perhaps?"
sandor sunneson: Hakeem, Ajax had a wand of strength that if cast before you in battle would give you extra strength, would that be useful to you? Sure we could get it from Highhaven for you??
chris107: ""Meda, when Rey finds us a way in, can you get us there?"
sandor sunneson: That thing shaped like a dong
chris107: "Bold Sandor. It is because I do not wish to put anyof my friends at risk that I must do this alone. Ajax can wave his Bull's dick elsewhere."
Smon: Meda glances at Sandor: "...I have the powers of Scying and Teleportation, though neither is infallible. Perhaps Dyson Logos could bring you swiftly there, though?"
chris107: "Aye! The Dragon! You are wise Lady Meda."
sandor sunneson: I want to assist you in anyway I can Hakeem, Ursa mentioned it when he got it that it would be useful for the big conflict, has 16 charges left
chris107: "And Dyson could keep any minions busy while I slay Kainos."
Smon: Rey pauses. "oops... Sorry Hakeem. Just remembered something."
chris107: (Scroll is a good idea)
Smon: "Err..."
Smon: "The other Sending Stone? I gave it to Sarene the Pirate. I expect she still has it."
Smon: Meda sighs, and hands back the Stone.
chris107: "So Thuruar has no stone?"
Smon: Rey shakes his head. "Sorry. Nope."
Smon: Malenn: "Well, we still have the Dragon... He could fly swiftly to the Temple of Athena, yes?"
Smon: Meda: "Also, there is a mighty Druid of the Seawolf Clan, with the Power of Sending. He has used it to speak with me, before."
chris107: "He could but time is running short. I do not want another life wasted."
Smon: "Ernsorn Blue is his name. He will be with Chief Minars at Nera, I think."
chris107: It is 60 miles from here to Mara?"
Smon: Closer to 50 miles.
chris107: "And many leagues to the North to the Temple of Athena?"
Smon: If you go right past the Halls of Tizun Thane.
Smon: Rey: "We were there! Remember? On Sarene's boat. Took *forever*!"
chris107: "Then let's get started. Rey go do your stuff. Meet us at Mara. You have a week."!
chris107: "I do remember." says Hakeem, it seems fate is trying to foil his plans.
Smon: Rey: "Hmm... OK, I'll base in Mara, go scout out Madcat Mountain, then meet you back there in a week. Lord Bronze is on our side now ...right?"
chris107: "He is, keep away from his womenfolk.."
Smon: Rey grins: "Me? Oh ye of little faith!"
chris107: If it comes to it. We must muster the men at Cahli as initialy conceived. If Hakeem falls there must be a defence in place.
Smon: Malenn: "His baby sister Anna Bronze is very fair..."
Smon: Alicia scowls.
sandor sunneson: Kainos though, can he not be hurt by magical weapons?
chris107: Hakeem slides the Sword of Bondorr out of it's sheath. "You think this will do the job?"
sandor sunneson: Or magic? Fireballs, lightning bolts, cones of cold? Immune to them too?
sandor sunneson: Sandor will stand up and shout Bondorr!!!!!!!
Smon: Meda: "I will send word to the Ghinarian Lords to rally at Cahli. Within two weeks the army can be mustered there. I hear Prince Shieldbiter has raised quite an army of Lizardmen, also."
sandor sunneson: (watch out there Chris, whose side is he on ?? )
sandor sunneson: Et tu Shieldbiter......
chris107: "Then, Malenn, let us to bed. For I must away to Mara and speak with this Dragon in the morning."
Smon: Meda: "Our priestess of Athena-Erathis told us she saw Kainos wounded by an enchanted arrow that passed over his shield. Perhaps you should talk more with her?"
Smon: OOC Livilla the one you captured in Dyson's Delve.
Smon: Who apparently knows loads about your nemesis...
Smon: Who is right here in Thusia...
chris107: "I shall, perhaps she can come with us?"
Smon: Who worships the same goddess as Thuruar.
Smon: The crowd watch Sandor yell Bondorr. Most of them revere Athena, a few Mycr or Mitra.
sandor sunneson: Well bring her in??
Smon: Malenn glances lovingly/lustingly at Hakeem. "Yes, bed..."
chris107: Hakeem is happy to oblidge.
Smon: Meda calls from the high table down to the main hall where her warriors & others of lesser rank feast: "Livilla, come join us. Take Malenn's seat."
Smon: Hakeem carries a happy bundle of blonde lovin' off to bed..
chris107: (2 mins, Chinese has arrived )
Smon: Priestess Livilla takes Malenn's still warm seat, Meda asks her about Kainos' vulnerabilities.
sandor sunneson: (OOC- can we finish after this meeting)
Smon: Livilla: "He cannot be harmed by mundane steel, but enchanted blades may pierce him, though his shield is very strong, of Adamantine, forged by the god-smith Hephaestus at the Dawn of Time."
Smon: OOC finish at 10pm?
sandor sunneson: cool
chris107: cool
Smon: "I have seen many brave Altanians and Warforged perish to his spear, or beneath his heel."
Smon: "He is resistant to magics, but can be harmed by sorcerous energies, I think."
chris107: "Does he have any weakness?"
sandor sunneson: (OOC- off to Skye tomorrow and the Highlands, the Jacobites could have done with a Hakeem, rather than all fighting each other and fought for their greater good)
sandor sunneson: Sercerous what??? Come again?
Smon: OOC Hakeem is currently undressing Maleen in their bedroom...
chris107: Ah yes, soz
Smon: "Energies - Lightning, Fire, Frost and such."
chris107: The sweet and sour pork caused me to become distracted
Smon: "He is an Empyrean - a Demi-God."
Smon: OOC not had dinner myself, hungry now!
sandor sunneson: So cone of cold? fireball, bolts of lighting from a mage's had etc??
Smon: OOC Had 2 pints of Pride for lunch.
sandor sunneson: Sandor will look at Laurana and shrug
sandor sunneson: Ok, sounds strong but means nothing to me (like Vienna).
Smon: Livilla looks nervous and uncertain. "I think so... His shield cannot protect him from such; only from weapons."
chris107: Chiswick's finest
Smon: Laurana meets Sandor's eye and shrugs back.
Smon: Livilla: "Oh! One thing..."
sandor sunneson: I would suggest we get a few MUers in there to assist, if you tell Ajax what to do and don't expect him to lead, I'm sure he'd assist
sandor sunneson: Yes....
Smon: "I heard a rumour that his Shield is gigantic size when Kainos wields it, but shrinks to that of a normal shield when left his hand."
chris107: (Handy)
Smon: Meda: "So it could be taken - stolen, by a Clever Thief, perhaps?"
Smon: Meda grins. Rey's eyes widen. "You don't mean ...OH NO!!"
Smon: OOC good stopping point?
sandor sunneson: Do we know of one?
Smon: Meda explains that Rey is a legendary Rogue.
sandor sunneson: Brilliant, well brought together GM
Smon: GM: Next morning Sandor & Hakeem have completed a Long Rest.
chris107: Good progress. Cheers guys
Smon: Rey reluctantly accedes to the idea. "So Hakeem, they want me to steal the Shield of a God."
Smon: Meda: "And bring it to Hakeem."
Smon: Rey: "Yeah. Great."
sandor sunneson: (98% chances of success Simon)
Smon:
sandor sunneson rolls 1d100 and gets: 74,
chris107: "And lend it to me while I kick his ass. Yes. Great isn't it? Welcome back."
Smon: LOL
Smon: I'll post log!
sandor sunneson: That was close.......
chris107: Cheers guys!
sandor sunneson: had I thrown a 99
Smon: OOC I think fetching Rey & taking time to talk out a plan worked well!
Smon: Worst case scenario you're down a Rogue...
sandor sunneson: Can his player not come out of retirement too?
sandor sunneson: Drop him a message? Or email?
chris107: He may be in Redstar tomorrow. We can ask.
Smon: Be great if Amalric wants to play.
Smon: One. Last. Job.
chris107: And Kjato
Smon: I see the movie trailers now.
Smon: Yup
chris107:
sandor sunneson: Until Simon thinks up an even more evil mosnster
Smon: One last job for Rey, that is.
Smon: There are loads more enemies for you guys.
chris107: If Hakeem pulls this one off he should make 20th. It's up to the kids after that!
Smon: There's the Iso-Monster in Viridistan I think it has over 2000 hp.
sandor sunneson: Is that Wilderlands ??
Smon: Hakeem can open his Bondor's Training Academy teaching HAMA
Smon: yes
Smon: Historical Altanian Martial Arts.
sandor sunneson: If only Gracy had left the crown behind, could have placed it on the head of that
chris107: Hitting things with a big sword
Smon: Kainos' head too big for the helm.
sandor sunneson: could play Wed next? I'll be in Skye
sandor sunneson: Meant the Iso Monster
Smon: Plan is to do level 3 from 8pm next Wed.
chris107: This thing has to be fought. No short cuts.
Smon: Viridistan is in Wilderlands yes.
sandor sunneson: to think he could be killed by a 1e harm spell and a couple of magic sword attacks
Smon: LOL
Smon: If you got past his 95% Magic Resistance.
Smon: In 5e MR just gives advantage on saves vs magic.
