XP: 2000 each Sandor & Maglor
2 Amiondel Elf prisoners delivered to Klerkenwell.
Foamrunner sailing Klerkenwell to Diancecht - Ajax killed by pirates.
chris107: You’re in charge
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax needs <1200
chris107: Then lead on McDuff!
Sandor Sunneson: We'll head over to the north side of the isle
chris107: M uses his minor illusion Cantrip to cover himself in foliage matching that of the island in the hope it will help him hide
chris107: He flits from tree to tree like a shadow
Smon: GM: Maglor looks quite bushy.
chris107:
chris107: Crossbow cocked and loaded
Smon: The four of you inc Anewein the Ranger row a small boat from the Buxom Wench to the sandy beach & haul it onto the sand.
Smon: The gale rages overhead, but the air in the sheltered cove is eerily still.
Smon: You head north into the trees.
Smon: After a hundred yards or so you notice the glow-bugs seem to be congregating around you... Maglor make stealth check.
Sandor Sunneson: set the tone Chris.......
chris107 rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 1, (+11) = 12
chris107:
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: :S
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor decides to go back home and put the kettle on
chris107: Hehe
chris107: Hakeem would say - This is a good day to die. Maglor just - eek!
Sandor Sunneson: Are the glow bugs congregating around anyone inparticular in the group?
Smon: All of you in a circle about 30' radius... Suddenly Maglor and Ajax see something strange...
chris107: Maglor squints trying to make it out
Smon: Instead of points of light, the glow bugs turn into little flying elfin-faced folk with gossamer wings, about 2'6" tall! Sandor sees only the bugs.
chris107: Perception
chris107 rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 20, (+8) = 28
Smon: Anewein: "Pixies!"
Sandor Sunneson: Miaow
Smon: Maglor sees about 20 Pixies. They have little swords and bows, but not drawn.
chris107: Cool!
Smon: One calls out: "Hello big folk!" He waves.
chris107: He lowers his crossbow and changes his illusion to a soft glowing halo
Sandor Sunneson: We'll approach them
Smon: "Welcome to Sable Isle!"
Smon: "I am Mirth, leader of the Pixies. What brings you here?"
chris107: M - hello little ones. You look great!
Smon: Mirth waves at Maglor. "I liked your leafy look!"
chris107: He tries to match the intensity and colour to that of The pixies
Sandor Sunneson: Hello keepers of the wood, hello Mirth
Smon: His voice is tiny, squeaky-pitched.
chris107: Thanks Mirth!
Smon: "I like the glow too Maglor!"
Sandor Sunneson: Are you aware of any dark elfs in the area?
Smon: "Hello Anewein, hello Ajax..." He squints at Sandor. "That one can't see us."
chris107:
chris107: He’s a spazz, sorry
Sandor Sunneson: He's got nightvision cast on him by Ajax
Smon: Mirth nods. "Two bad Elfs. They have camp at north side of Island. "
Sandor Sunneson: (sandor)
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, we here, how many of them are there?
Smon: Sandor only sees the glowbugs, his friends have gone mad and are talking to them.
chris107: Would you mind if we got rid of them for you?
Smon: The pixies smile. "They are having bath now by the waterfall. We bring you their stuff?"
Sandor Sunneson: So not many of them? 8? 10?
chris107: That would be nice
chris107: 2
Smon: Mirth looks at Ajax. "Silly human! I told you 2!"
Smon: Mirth gestures to a dozen Pixies, who flit off through the trees.
chris107: Maglor giggles. More at home Here close to the Faeries. Any hint of the servant gone
Smon: Mirth: "No killing Bad Elves on this Island! You take them away alive yes?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sorry, thought you meant to the elfs as in going there, anyway, not to worry
chris107: Sure thing
Smon: Mirth to Maglor: "Follow me..."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will use his axe (non magic) for combat if required, not flame thrower sword
chris107: Maglor follows stealthily
Smon: GM: The pixies lead you for a mile across the rugged forested island, until you hear the sound of a small waterfall ahead.
chris107: He goes back to leaf mode
Sandor Sunneson: Ok folks, KO them,
Smon: Through the trees you see a fern-fringed pool at the base of the waterfall, a stream gurgling out east towards the sea.
chris107: Perception? To search for signs of evil elf’s?
Smon: Mirth points out two figures bathing in the pool - platinum-blonde elves with pale skin that gleams lustrous in the moonlight, 1 male 1 female.
Sandor Sunneson: link?
Smon: Mirth: "We have taken their stuff... swords and stuff."
chris107: Whispers to Mirth - have your folks taken their stuff?
chris107:
chris107: Maglor loads his crossbow and sneaks up close. His intent to do a , stand and deliver act
Sandor Sunneson: Are they flirting with each other or just chilling?
Sandor Sunneson: Is there a path leading from the pool to the forest?
Smon: Here they are with clothes on - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/sandorajaxmaglor.html
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor looks to go and block iff their exit
Smon: The female is talking.
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, Maglor to stand and deliver, Sandor to block off exit
Smon: It's just ferns and trees around most of the pool.
Smon: You can make stealth checks w advtg
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,
chris107: You are surrounded. Come quietly or it will go badly for you
chris107 Rolls 1d20+11x2 and gets:
13 (+11) = 24
18 (+11) = 29
Smon: advtg means roll twice
Smon: Maglor gets into position.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
Smon: DC 14
Sandor Sunneson: +3 (dex)??
Sandor Sunneson: =15?
Smon: GM: You get into position.
Smon: Maglor steps out pointing X-bow: "You are surrounded. Come quietly or it will go badly for you!"
Smon: The Elves gasp and look for their weapons & gear at the poolside, only to find them missing...
Smon: The female Elf glares at Maglor: "Who the Hell are you?!"
chris107: Tut-tut
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- That would be quite a cool character class to play, a pixie
chris107: Don’t make me fill you full of arrows
chris107: You can call me nemesis
Smon: Anewein also steps out from cover, bow trained on the naked elves.
Smon: Reluctantly they raise their hands.
chris107: Now my friends are going to tie you up. Don’t try anything they are less kindly than m
chris107: Me
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will then appear holding his axe, right you 2,
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will tie them up by their hands
chris107: Maglor gins. Feeling that life is very good at the moment
chris107: Didn’t someone mention a reward?
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, back we go, later Maglor, we've not done yet
Sandor Sunneson: Focus
Sandor Sunneson:
chris107: Once they are secured
Smon: Are you tying their wrists behinf their backs Sandor?
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, and was then going to march them back to Buxom Wench
Smon: The wet elves shiver as Sandor ties them up.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look for towels?
Smon: As you finish binding them the female speaks up again: "We are here on orders from the Council! Release us or they will learn of this and your fate will be excruciating!"
chris107: M - thanks Mirth, we will get these meanies off your island.
Smon: The Pixies have apparently taken everything the had.
Smon: Maglor hears pixie laughter through the trees.
chris107: Save the backchat, bitch
Smon: GM: You begin marching your captives back across the small island. Despite their bindings the dextrous elves navigate the rough terrain ok.
Smon: Glow bugs ahead help guide your way... a couple hours after you first landed, you reach the south bay again, the ship still rides at anchor.
Smon: Your boat unmolested on the beach.
Sandor Sunneson: Is there enough room for 5 on the boat?
Smon: Anewein eyes your captives: "Well that was easier than I expected..."
chris107: M - Thankyou for your hospitality, Mirth! You have a fine island.
chris107: Maglor will miss the pixies
Smon: 6 - yes it's cramped but you could get everyone on board. You hear Mirth call back:
Smon: "Come back for a Banquet! We have sweet rolls!"
chris107: Alas we must go back to the realms of man
chris107: Maglor is much more at home in faerie. He seems to shrink and diminish once off the island
chris107: Back to the dour servant
Smon: "Next time! Good travels Maglor! Watch out for the red-haired man!"
chris107: Thank you, Mirth!
Smon: GM: You row your boat out to the ship, where Orson's sailors help you aboard and haul up the little boat.
Smon: Orson regards the naked elven prisoners, smirking.
Smon: He looks to you. "So, who are these two?"
Sandor Sunneson: We're about to find that out, have you got some rags for them to wear?
Smon: Male elf: "I am Terrist..." Female: "And I am Llorna."
Sandor Sunneson: We'll take them somewhere to question on board
Smon: Orson: "Very good, interrogate them. They look like they'll fetch a good price down in Rallu."
Sandor Sunneson: Why were you on the Isle?
Smon: Most of the ship's crew have gathered round to look at the prisoners, who regard the sailors nervously.
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- Chris, we'll have to execute them, I don't want them coming back to bite us on the backside as high level characters
Smon: Llorana looks at her questioner (Sandor? Fergus put S or A at start so I know who's talking)
Sandor Sunneson: Yes
Sandor Sunneson: Will do
Smon: make CHA+prof roll
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 17,
Sandor Sunneson: +4=21
chris107: OOC - I don’t understand what you mean Fergus?
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- these 2 elves, I remember being told what happened when PCs left a young Fion alive, she came back with vengence,
Smon: Llorna glances after Orson as he goes to talk with Krabbe near the stern. "We... we were assigned to watch the strait, and the dwarf castle."
Sandor Sunneson: By whom??
chris107: OOC - you’re in charge, Maglor is neutral so do what you must.
Smon: Terist: "We serve the Amiondel Council. They will pay well for our safe return."
Sandor Sunneson: Not coming from this area, who are the Amoindel Council?
Sandor Sunneson: Why you spying on the dwarfs?
chris107: (M quietly looks around him. Any red haired men on board?)
Smon: Terist: "The Dwarves of Klerkenwell defy the Amiondel Council!"
Smon: Maglor looks around, sees no red hair on the sailors.
chris107: Then asks the ranger - what do you need them to tell you?
Sandor Sunneson: I asked who the Amiondel Council are?
Smon: Anewein looks at Maglor. "I was tasked to find out about the Amiondel - their strength, organisation, powers."
chris107: M to elves - you best tell her
Smon: Llorna: "Our leaders - High Priest Vilmandil, Archmagess Isudia, Blades Commander Isin."
Sandor Sunneson: S: How many beings are there, who do they control, what are their plans and ambitions
chris107: Or my great big, hairy, human friends may get very unpleasant
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor pictures them all as beautiful elfs with no body fat
Smon: The elves look nervously at the humans.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor says, tell us all you know,
Smon: Llorna: "A thousand blades, a score of ships... The Amiondel are mighty. Release us and gain the favour of the Council. Harm us and you will perish in torment!"
Sandor Sunneson: 20 ships??
Sandor Sunneson: OOC-have we started sailing again for Rallu?
Sandor Sunneson: And their plans, where is their HQ, what are their aims?
Smon: No you are waiting out the gale overnight in the bay.
Sandor Sunneson: So gale still on going
Smon: "Our capitol is the fortress city of Ludgates in the Fingers of Oricha, west of here."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will get spellbane out, bane my friend, what do we do to folk who don't provide us with information we require?
Smon: Llorna: "One day the Amiondel will rule all Oricha. You can serve, or be destroyed!"
chris107: OOC - is the racial hatred of Drow and Rlves a thing in the Wilderlands?
chris107: Elves
chris107: Bloody spellcheck
Smon: There are no Drow in the Wilderlands. These are Elves though a bit paler than Maglor.
Sandor Sunneson: Elven sectarianism
chris107: Thanks
Smon: To humans or Dragonborn you look identical.
Smon: The Elves wince at the sight of Spellbane.
Smon: "HMM... MAGES!" says Spellbane. "BUT VERY MINOR. OH WELL."
Smon: "It talks!" says Llorna, in a frightened voice.
Smon: Terist: "What more do you want to know?"
chris107: And eats wizards. Adds Maglor nastily
Sandor Sunneson: Answer our questions, what are your ambitions , are there plans to attack the dwRFS?
Sandor Sunneson: 20 ships and a 1000 soldiers?
chris107: That’s a lot
Smon: The Elves look at each other. Llorna: "Yes, of course... But only the Council knows the details of their plans."
Sandor Sunneson: Anewein, anything you want to know?
Smon: Orson saunters back over. "Krabbe says the gale should abate before dawn. We'll leave then."
Smon: Anewein: "Ideally I'd like to bring these two to Klerkenwell... My mistress the Princess would be keen to interrogate them further, and the Dwarves would be very happy to have prisoners."
chris107: Fine by M
Sandor Sunneson: S: That's fine,
Sandor Sunneson: S will ask Orson if we can keep them apart from each other?
Smon: Orson: "Hmm... We *could* return to Klerkenwell... For a reward of say a thousand gold?"
Smon: Orson grins wickedly at Sandor. "Why yes, I can guard the female... in my cabin." Anewein glowers.
Sandor Sunneson: A looks in horror at Orson as the thought of him going home may now not happen
Smon: Anewein: "That won't be necessary, Captain... I will guard them until we return to Klerkenwell."
Sandor Sunneson: We'll look after her Orson,
Smon: brb toast
Sandor Sunneson: That's a good fee for a single to Klerkenwell
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will say and laugh, unlucky Ajax, homeward bound no more
chris107: M will revert to servant status
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- Think will link Ajax up to become mage in Hakeem's court, would that be ok with you?
chris107: OOC - very kewl with me
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- and he can take a bit of time out and make some magic items
Sandor Sunneson: Cool
Sandor Sunneson: Putting kettle on lol
chris107: Well there are wizards Towers in Bisgen and the Vale?
chris107: Places he could work more efficiently
chris107: Oriax’s Tower would make a fine base for him?
Smon: Yes - Tower of Oriax/Lighthouse is obvious one
Sandor Sunneson: Cool, that would be fantastic
Smon: There must be one in Nerra once restored
Sandor Sunneson: St Ulther's lighthouse to give it the correct name
Smon: yup!
Sandor Sunneson: I'm delighted with that
chris107:
Smon: GM: You take the prisoners below decks; Orson has their hands unbound and has them shackled to prevent casting etc.
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, back to Klerkenwell, Sandor will chat to Anewein to ask what she thinks will happen to the prisoners
Smon: An hour before dawn the gale eases and the Buxom Wench heads north again.
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 8,
Smon: 11/6
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- good to keep them alive, means that the GM can use them in a battle in 4-5 years time
Smon: The wind has shifted from NE to NW, ship tacks NE.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Sandor Sunneson: ah, d8 weather, d6 monster alert
Smon: As dawn comes up you get a good look at the dwarf fortress of Southpoint on the cliffs a couple miles to the NW.
Smon: Krabbe uses a weather invocation and the ship rounds the horn then tacks NW along the coast into the wind.
chris107: Brb coffee
Smon: Progress is fairly slow, but steady.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Smon: 12/6 Next day around lunchtime the smokes of Klerkenwell come into view.
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 95,
Smon: The headwind has eased off but with help from the sea mage the ship slips into harbour, the elven craft Foamrunner still in berth.
Smon: Orson has the captives brought on deck.
chris107: M busies himself with mundane tasks
Smon: Anewein heads over to Foamrunner, talks with First Mate Aenaro and establishes that the Princess is still at the Lord's Castle.
Smon: She returns.
Smon: Orson: "I'm coming with you to the castle Lady Anewein - wouldn't want to miss out on the reward... "
chris107: Rewards
Smon: Anewein turns to S/A/M: "Do you three want to come with me? I'll tell them how you helped seize the Amiondel."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor would like to meet the Princess too
Sandor Sunneson: Of course
Sandor Sunneson: sandor says
chris107: Yes please
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax nods
Smon: Orson, 4 sailors, Anewein and S/A/M escort the 2 Amiondel elves through Klerkenwell's cobbled streets, past the Spice Market and up to Lord Roroen's Keep.
Smon: There is excitement amongst the dwarven guards as Anewein explain the 2 prisoners (now wearing loincloths kindly provided by Orson) and you are soon escorted into a small but well appointed throne hall, decor gleaming in gold that to elfin eyes looks crude and garish.
chris107: Dwarves! Thinks M silently
Smon: The dwarf Lord Roroen sits on his throne, accompanied by a dwarf captain and senior priestess, her long beard flowing almost to the floor.
chris107:
Smon: With them are the elfin high priestess Filmathiel and her daughter the Princess Crystal Moonsilver.
Smon: Also a dozen dwarf guards & 6 elfin soldiers led by a girl in green - http://pre03.deviantart.net/202e/th/pre/f/2013/170/a/0/a0147d7a44194920c59e6a9777960040-d69q7s0.jpg
Smon: Filmathiel - https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0325/36/1401779344712.jpg
Smon: Princess Crystal - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO91p6Fr_-cZgtFAI9w8wa4DdYcrd0iYyGkf2oc4T95EDat34z4FygiYWhMjiommFd_cdv3euAZ0qJTD_CDBvPphlYvL6WUF8StZ3S2BxLoUUv5-PG61-K3pAZcKrsGuEDzexnrymUYaY/s320/da461273a1e011ec5868c8cef66ce33d.jpg
chris107: Noice
Sandor Sunneson: Is there a winged racoon on her sholder?
Smon: Crystal smiles: "You have done Excellently, Anewein! Thank you, Captain Orson."
chris107: What is that strange creature on her shoulder?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will whisper to Maglor I dpn't know
chris107: Very welcome. Thinks M
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax shrugs
Smon: Crystal glances over at Maglor: "It's a winged Tanuki, a mystical beast..." she smiles.
chris107: Thank you m’am
chris107: He guards his thoughts more closely from now on.
Smon: Crystal pets the Tanuki. "Her name is Abba."
chris107: Nice name
Smon: Anewein speaks quietly with Crystal, who nods and gives Orson a pouch of platinum coin. "For your services good Captain."
Smon: Orson smiles: "Thank you then."
Smon: The dwarf lord glares at the two prisoners. "Put these two in the dungeons, I'll not have such filth pollute my hall! We can interrogate them later."
Smon: The dwarf guards move to seize the captives.
chris107: M senses trouble
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor thinks something is about to happen
Smon: Filmathiel & Crystal look a bit uncomfortable, but remain silent as the Amiondel are seized and dragged out.
Smon: Lord Roroen turns to M/A/S: "You have done well, friends, bringing us these two - you must tell us the tale of their capture!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will explain what occurred, mentioning the pixies too
Sandor Sunneson: And tell the names of the leaderr of the Amiondial council
Smon: Roroen nods: "Pixies, eh?!"
Sandor Sunneson: he will say overall as prisoners they were well behaved, did as they were told, probably just a couple of foot soldiers on a spying mission
Smon: Filmathiel: "So, now we know they are Tripartite... can they really have a thousand warriors? It has only been a century..."
Sandor Sunneson: S: yes, I didn't see them, but the others were chatting awaynto them
Smon: Anewein: "Sandor's sword did say they were minor mages... Best to keep the manacles on them."
Smon: Roroen: "We have better than that - collars laced with lead & enchanted, they prevent all spellcasting!"
chris107: OOC does Maglor count as a minor mage too? With his free Cantrip.
Smon: Crystal: "Very good..."
Smon: OOC yeah
chris107: M eyes the wicked blade nervously
Smon: Princess Crystal smiles: "It must have been wonderful to meet the Wee Folk!"
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax willmsay it might be worth finding out where these armies are located
chris107: It was
Smon: Crystal smiles warmly at Maglor, a kindred spirit.
chris107: He smiles back warmly too
chris107: Telling her of the pixies animatedly
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor is wondering if his party will be rewarded too, but not out loud
Sandor Sunneson: Is there still a feeling of tension around now that the prisoners were dragged out??
Smon: not really
Smon: Roroen: "You must all dine at my hall tonight. But first - some gold!"
chris107: The world of men seems dull after the meeting with the fey
Smon: The dwarf lord has a platter brought on which sit several coin purses.
Sandor Sunneson: good, lol
Smon: He hands you each a pouch of 100gp. "And you shall dine in my hall tonight!"
chris107: Dwarf food. Yum! (Not)
Smon: Princess Crystal has been keeping an eye on Maglor. Now she goes over to him. "Can we talk in my quarters?"
chris107: Maglor secretes the purse about his person
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor is rather underwhelmed by the reward but doesn't let this show
chris107: Of course your highness
chris107: (I was going to fast hands and sleight of hand to swop Orson’s platinum purse for his own golden one )
Sandor Sunneson: Maglor, you are free to go
Smon: GM: While the others are escorted to a light lunch of spicy dwarf curry, Crystal escorts Maglor upstairs to a cosy guest bedroom, the elfin guard girl following along behind and standing outside the door as you go in.
chris107: Thank you, Master.
chris107: He follows the princess
Smon: Orson's pouch is long gone into Orson's loinclout.
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: SandorNice
Smon: Crystal shuts & locks the door, then turns to Maglor regarding him curiously.
chris107: He smiles, innocently
Smon: "Forgive me Maglor, I couldn't help prying... You are Maglor, agent of the Queen of Anatal?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will speak to the head of the Dwarfs and Elven leaders for general information to pass onto hakeem and co in Ghinaria
chris107: M - I have that honour your highness. The worlds worst kept secret it would seem.
Smon: She nods, smiling. "I have a knack for... Well you know. How is your Queen?"
chris107: She was well when last I saw her. May I help you with something?
Smon: "I met Princess Valadai once... I heard she had been kidnapped by Dwarves?"
chris107: She was. And most boldly treated. The human Lord, Hakeem secures her release.’
chris107: D
Smon: Crystal smiles: "I know Hakeem quite well! A wonderful man. A great lord."
chris107: So I hear.
Smon: "We took him to Three Sword Isle..."
chris107: M is little impressed by humans or Dwarves
chris107: A dangerous place for such a noble lady.
Smon: Crystal sighs, twirling a lock of hair. "It would be better if we could get the Amiondel prisoners back to Diancecht. We could find out much from them."
chris107: You wish for me to steal them?
Smon: "Oh, I stayed on the ship. My Sergeant went with them... Sadly, only Hakeem and the Dragonborn returned from the battle."
chris107: Sad news indeed your highness
Smon: "I do not wish to offend the Dwarves... Klerkenwell is all that stands between the Amiondel and Diancecht."
Smon: "What are your plans now?"
Smon: GM: Sandor & Ajax eat the spicy orange curry?
chris107: What ever the humans I travel with desire.
Sandor Sunneson: We were meant to split at Rallu,
chris107: I am but a leaf blown on the winds of fate your highness
Smon: "I see... But your mission is to gather knowledge of these lands?"
chris107: My mission is but to serve my Queen however best I can.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will be polite and stick to the ale having eaten before entering the dwarven palace
Smon: "Most commendable. Well, we will be sailing back to Diancecht in a day or two. You're welcome to come with us if you wish."
chris107: Learning of these wicked elves will be of great interest to her. Common cause for all of us to stand together.
Smon: GM: The elves pick frugally at the repast, focusing on the flat breads & olives while the dwarves tuck into the orange goat curry with gusto.
chris107: If my masters would allow it. That would be fine indeed.
Sandor Sunneson: Could get Ajax to get a trade ship back north then and Maglor and Sandor contimue together?
Smon: "I see. Let me know then." She pauses. "The Dwarves of Klerkenwell are crude, but they are essentially goodly folk, and good allies for us."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will copy the elves, ask Anawein if it was best handing over the prisoners to the dwarfs
chris107: OOC perhaps Foamrunner could whisk us all back to Selatine
Smon: After lunch you are escorted out of the dwarf hall. Anewein considers Sandor's query. "Hmm. Not for me to say."
Smon: OOC I'd like to do a time jump now, let me know what you want to do/where you go.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will chuckle, honest answer
chris107: Diancecht first then up the coast?
Smon: Orson will be heading on for Rallu, Foamrunner north to Diancecht.
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- Ok, lets break up Sandor and Ajax, Ajax to become mage at Oriax tower
chris107: Then we all hard the same way
Sandor Sunneson: And he'll start making magic items, Sandor offers his 100gp to Ajax and Maglor 50 each
chris107: Diancecht then north to Selatine?
chris107: Thankyou Master
Smon: GM: Crystal agrees to take you north to Selatine. "I'd like to visit the Lighthouse... I hear the Library there is amazing!"
chris107: Maglor is delighted. He likes this intelligent and thoughtful woman
chris107: He will create an illusion of the famous lighthouse.
Smon: 13/6/47 You bid farewell to a happy Orson the Northron, heading once more for Rallu. Crystal is delighted by Maglor's magic trick of the Lighthouse, clapping her hands in delight.
chris107: And have an illusionary Foamrunner sail around it with the princess at its helm
Smon: Crystal is wide-eyed. "So wonderful!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor thinks those 2 should get a room and quit the foreplay being the thick barbarian
chris107: Maglor blushes at her compliment
Smon: Her mother Filmathiel smiles indulgently at the sight.
chris107:
chris107: Maglor is hardly fit consort for a princess
Smon: Crystal waves her hand and a teeny Maglor appears beside Crystal in the illusion.
chris107:
chris107: Maglor is doubly delighted
Smon: "I'm sorry, I'm not as good as you..." Her Maglor is a little simplistic by comparison.
chris107: It does not spoil the moment for him at all
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will leave the area of foreplay and chill out and rest
Smon: Anewein whispers to Ajax: "The Princess likes him."
chris107: And on to Selatine
chris107:
Smon: GM: The Foamrunner leaves Klerkenwell, heading north across Marduck Bay at a great speed.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax says, yes, he seems rather smitten
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Smon: "Pirates!"
chris107: Here we go!
Sandor Sunneson: Ooooooooops
Sandor Sunneson: Orson?
Sandor Sunneson: Is this ship faster than pirates ship?
chris107: Princess! You must get to safety.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will come to the surfave when he hears the kerfuffle
chris107: Let us deal with these brutes
Smon: You have been sailing most of the day and have travelled some 90 miles north, when the lookout spots the three black-sailed Blackarrow ships closing from the north-west.
chris107: (Orson would be wonderfully ironic!)
Sandor Sunneson: How many fighters are we?
Smon: Aenaro: "We're faster than them, aye, but they have the wind... Hard to starboard! We must outpace them!"
chris107: Outrunning then would seem like the best option?
chris107: Maglor looks for suitable cover to lurk in to fire his crossbow from
Smon: GM: Foamrunner, a high-prowed elven sailing ship. Foamrunner normally has a crew of 12 elves and half-elves: 6 sailors (Captain Crystal, First Mate Aenaro, 4 crew) and 6 elven archer-marines (Serjeant Vaelin, Corporal Lurieth, 4 archers). Ship can do 120 miles (8 hexes)/day with crew of just 6, half what a human ship would need.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax is going to do a Gracyone and casts Fly on the Forerunner and the boat flys away to safety
Smon: There are 12 crew inc Crystal, plus High Priestess Filmathiel and yourselves.
Smon: LOL
chris107:
Smon: The pirate ships likely have 50-100 on board each.
chris107: Eek
Sandor Sunneson: Lets see if the Forerunner can outrun the pirates
Smon: The Foamrunner turns...
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 10,
Smon: The waters seem oddly sluggish and oily.
Smon: Crystal: "They're using sea magic to hinder us! They must have a Mage! Ajax can you Dispel it?"
Smon: Your ship seems oddly slow, the pirates are still closing, close to ballista range now.
chris107: M’s hide roll
Sandor Sunneson: Could Ajax have got Dispel magic from Krabbe?
chris107 rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 3, (+11) = 14
Smon: Possibly, if he had asked.
chris107:
Smon: & paid a lot!
Sandor Sunneson: Only has attack spells
Smon: Crystal sees Ajax look nonplussed.
Sandor Sunneson: I only have combat spells he'll say
Smon: "Or... They must have a Sea Mage on one of those ships. If we could kill him or just disrupt the spell..."
chris107: Looks like Sandor gets the chance to be the hero
chris107: Cutting down swathes of pirates
Sandor Sunneson: He'll cast counterspell on it from CF spellbook
chris107: M will keep an eye out for just such a fellow
Sandor Sunneson: would that work?
chris107: Hoping to kill him with one bolt
Sandor Sunneson: Is a mage visible?
chris107: Perception roll?
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax casts shield on himself
Smon: Counterspell only works if you cast it while enemy is casting, you need Dispel Magic.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 4,
chris107: It’s a reaction!
Smon: For the MILLIONTH time Fergus, Shield is a Reaction, you don't pre-cast it! Read your spells!
Sandor Sunneson: Meant mage armour
Sandor Sunneson: sorry, got confused
chris107:
chris107: Perception roll to spot sea wizard
chris107 rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 5, (+8) = 13
Smon: Crystal: "I have Haste, and Water Breathing..."
Smon: Maglor sees lots of pirates thronging the decks, does not spot a wizard.
chris107: Am I going to roll over a 5 this game, I wonder?
Smon: The pirate ships come into range, two bracketing your ship and a third to the rear.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax has gloves of swimming and climbing, so will cast invisibility on itself
Sandor Sunneson: himself even
Smon: A pirate captain in tri-corn hat yells out: "Yo there! Stand down and prepare for boarding!"
Sandor Sunneson: Is there a pirate leader in view?
chris107: Ajax, your fireball would slow them down a lot
chris107: Ships burn!
Smon: https://www.3dtotal.com/admin/new_cropper/gallery_originals/2011-07-14(90819)_pirate1.jpg
chris107: Adds Maglor
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, was fgoingf to wait but why niot
chris107: Lightning too
Smon: A hundred or so x-bows are trained on your decks, along with several ballistae.
Smon: Crystal turns to you: "*sigh* this is embarrassing - we need to surrender."
chris107: M stays hidden (14 total I think, hopefully over most pirates PP)
Smon: M is lurking yup.
Smon: Crystal calls back: "Good afternoon Captain! To what do we owe the pleasure?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor eyes up the captain, working out if there is a way to get to him
Smon: The ships close to about 150'. Pirate: "I'm Captain Birek, and this is a booty call!" He leers at Princess Crystal, who regards him back calmly.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will cast fly on himself and then take off and view the situation from above
Smon: GM: OK, Ajax flies up into the air. Roll perception Ajax.
Smon: DC 15
Sandor Sunneson: he is invisible too
Smon: LOL
Smon: both are Concentration spells
chris107: One concentration spell at a time
Smon: cast one the other ends
Smon: read the f'ing manual.
Sandor Sunneson: Ah ok
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 19,
chris107: Fergus, if it helps, when I play Mordred I just write the basics of the spells on a pad.
Smon: Ajax flies up 30'. He spots an aged and nondescript figure about 40' from Birek muttering to himself - the Sea Mage?
Sandor Sunneson: Ok
Smon: Birek: "Bring that one down!"
chris107: Means they are always at your finger tips rather than having to search through the books
Smon: Ajax roll init
Smon: Others can roll init if attacking
Smon: pirate init
Smon: /roll d20+1
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 8, (+1) = 9

Smon: Yes, Birek is obvious in the forecastle of his ship.
Smon: Range is 150'

Smon: what is Maglor's DEX bonus?
chris107: 6 damage then and no hide, again!
chris107: +5
Sandor Sunneson: +2
Smon: Maglor perforates Birek's coat, grazing him.
chris107: Good luck Fergus! Fry them!
Smon: Actually 13 is a successful Hide for Maglor vs their passive per
chris107: So he was hidden on 14?
Smon: yup
Sandor Sunneson: also gets an int bonus as he is an evocation wizard
Sandor Sunneson: Beginning at 10th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of any wizard Evocation spell you cast.
chris107: Shouldn’t that allow sneak damage?
Sandor Sunneson: so 11d6 + 4?
chris107: Nice!
Smon: no because you were at long range so no advantage so no sneak attack
Smon: I just checked the sneak att rules
chris107: Ah! I get you now
chris107: Understood
Sandor Sunneson rolls 11d6 and gets: 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 1, 4, 4, 6, 3, 6, = 45

Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
Smon: VSM components so you can't cast Fly while swimming.
Smon: You should have taken that Water Breathing spell from Crystal.
