    • From Misshapen Mouth ​

    Ninth Day of Elnu-Hamba (Elnu Descendent), 1349 A. L. (After Landfall)

    "Death!" you shout in the tongue of lost Normandy. "Death to the damned!" Thus you charge the smaller fiend, the child-mockery. She is fast, faster than she has any right to be, but half dozen of them dance before your eyes, a hateful mocking chorus and Durendal cuts naught but empty air in the place where her second mouth would be.

    Six bloody hands reach for the young man in the ground, six hateful voices call for his death... a fel light upon the room failing. Glamors you realize and know that only one is peril... and only one in peril. Though you do not know daemons and nor sorcery you know battle, you know in the face of which foe to raise your shield and bat aside her hand.

    One after another George's net flies through the head of one figment, banishing it as James shoots through two of them, arrows whistling through the air even as the signs of battle in the far room grow. Something heavy smashes against the walls or floor... A body, a hateful voice familiar as your own face in the mirror whispers.

    The shadows grow thinker, the lights dim, for just a moment it seems as though a mountain had been laid across your shoulder, a nameless dread, but the rush of battle is too great in you now and lordship too real a pledge to cast aside for lying enchantments. "Death!" you call again and your world narrows only to the three of mockeries childhood before you.

    Alas again by foul sorcery your blow is cast astray again... another arrow goes through the head of the last false visage and again you interpose the shield that is Olweje's prize between the thing and the fallen warrior it wants to slay, but this time it has been a feint to draw in the flying things as they fall on you with iron hard tails, the blows sink into your back one after another.

    You take 6 Damage

    Reeling the world blurs before your eyes and when it blurs no more you notice the child mockery is gone, though you hear for just a moment the creak of her feet on the pine floor. Cursing your luck you turn to see see James again managing to strike his foe not once but twice, though the flying horrors are nimble as no bird in the sky. Bronze tipped arrows put out two of its eyes and then George casts a weighted net over the thing.

    That is when it speaks and it is no curse, no foul magic, but instead pleading: "Please don't! I didn't want this!" Strangest of all it speaks as though with the tongue of a man and that is when the other daemon lunges not at you, nor at the men of the fellowship, but at the Anjo-oru who had thus spoken in a bling rage.

    "Spare me!" the snared Anjo oru says. "Spare me and I will tell you all you want to know, all you need to know!"

    What do you do?

    [] Try to spare the seemingly surrendering daemon

    [] Kill them both, there is still battle to be had and now with the greater of their kin loose

    [] Write in

    OOC: I know it is frustrating to just have enemies vanish like that, but the vulnadaemon did have invisibility and it did not have a death wish.

    • Damn, the Vulnadaemon escaped. Before we deal with our current situation though, heal Nico first, then rush through the door to help Tom and Aina.

    Invisibility at will means we can't do shit if he lies and escapes. There is much at play and somebody is dying.

    Agreed.

    Yeah, I'm not going to trust anything a demon says, not when our allies are in danger and that Vulnadaemon is out there.

    The doom creatures have Fast Healing too, so I suspect we shouldn't wait about.
     
    [X] Try to spare the seemingly surrendering daemon

    Not at all smart, but I want to at least give it a shot in case it's a child being possessed by a demon or something
     
    I am strongly agree with Tomcost that we should give healing potion to Nico ASAP.
    Also I hope that Vulnadaemon is scared enaugh, and she (it?) would not attempt to coup-de-grace Hugh.

    As for the voting, I am really unsure. On the one hand, this is daemon prisoner which can provide some information and save our time for killing it.
    On the other hand, it's daemon prisoner.
     
    @DragonParadox, I've updated Roland and Antonio's character sheets with their new feats. I added Roland's martial training abilities with basic descriptions, and did the same with Antonio's Mindlink power, since neither is a full blown initiator or psionic character yet, so there are not a lot of abilities to clutter the sheets up for now.

    I added Redman's Regalia and Bronze Breaker to Roland's equipment list. Bronze Breaker is included in his weapon stats, but I didn't mess with his armor stats yet. Not sure if we'll be able to repair and use his regular armor, or replace it with something else temporarily, until we have a chance to get the regalia looked at and hopefully purified, and I think the general thread consensus was to use it for that battle but not to use it regularly.

    Also added the +500 XP Roland had remaining after we purchased his and Antonio's bonus feats.

    Equipment of Note: Cold Iron Short Sword, Steel Longsword

    Bronze Breaker

    Appearance: This Gauntlet is wrought of black iron in menacing guise, with claws that tear and a grip that crushes.

    Abilities:
    • +1 Breaking Gauntlet (1d3 Bludgeoning Damage)
      • 2/Day as a Swift Action, the gauntlet gains the properties of Adamantine for one round. This allows attacks from the gauntlet to ignore Hardness below 20 in any attacked or Sundered objects.
      • Upon command, strikes from the gauntlet deal +2d6 damage against inanimate objects and crystalline creatures on a successful hit and ignore the Hardness of objects with a Hardness of 5 or lower. This effect remains until another command is given.
    Durendal

    Appearance: Wrought in the image of a knight's sword of finest bronze, the mark of Oroki of Apuku can still be read upon the base of the blade, yet in its journeys from that island the work of greater smiths has been made upon it also. It burns now with white flame along its edge, as though it had never left the smith's anvil, its hilt bound in a thousand small scales that shine like emeralds in the dark.

    Powers:
    Medallion of Mind Sentinel

    Appearance: A ring wrought of flowing yellow gold in the shape of a dragon or a serpent swallowing its tail. Eyes green as grass sparkle by moonlight and by sunlight.

    Ability: The medallion grants a continuous +2 resistance bonus on saves versus mind-affecting spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. If the wearer fails a save to avoid becoming dominated or confused, the amulet immediately allows the wearer to roll a second saving throw to resist the effect as a free action. If this second save is successful, the medallion's power fades away entirely and it becomes a simple piece of jewelry.

    Redman's Regalia

    Appearance: Wrought of bronze and carved with runes of ruin, this armor is the mark of a great king unbowed in battle til the last, and it is the mark of secret sins that one can but guess at, a home of daemons wrapped around the heart.

    Abilities:
    • +1 Dastardly Fullplate Armor (+10 AC, Maximum Dexterity Bonus: +1, Armor Check Penalty: -5)
    Spell-Break Shield

    Appearance: Of shining bronze unmarred is the face of this shield, as a mirror to the light of sun and moon and of the hidden realms beyond. What meaning the runes set about its rim might have you cannot say, yet when the power of some spell or enchantment it upon the bearer they burn white as forge's fire.

    Abilities:
    • +1 AC (Constant)
    • When affected by a spell of levels 1-3 the bearer may choose as a free action to roll 3d6 for Spell Resistance. If the resulting SR is defeated by more than a margin of 10, the shield gains the Broken condition. If this is repeated with the shield already broken it is destroyed. (3/Day)
    Talismans:
    • Nikure's Grace: This silver talisman in the form of two delicate intertwined spirals glows blue whenever an evil creature targets the wearer with magic jar, possession, or a similar effect, or with a charm or compulsion spell or effect that allows the creature to exercise control over the wearer (such as suggestion, but not sleep). If the spell or effect allows a saving throw and the wearer fails it, he receives a second saving throw. If he succeeds at the second saving throw, the wearer is also protected by protection from evil for 5 rounds.
    • Talisman of the Deep Roots: These talismans are wrought not of gold or silver, even of copper, but the pits of mango taken from sacred trees grown in lands where none may turn axe upon the living wood upon them is inscribed the name of the tree from which they are taken, that the bearer might be guarded from sudden falls, as the tree is warded against the storm. The bearer may re-roll any failed roll against being bull rushed by magical or mundane means if this second roll succeeds they are may attempt a grapple against the enemy as a free action.

    • Swift Alchemy (Ex): You create Alchemical items in half the normal amount of time and you can apply poison to a weapon as a Move Action.

You can drink this Mutagen as a Standard Action in order to gain a +2 Natural Armor bonus and a +4 Alchemical bonus to one of your physical attributes at the expense of a -2 penalty to a mental attribute. Increasing Strength decreases Intelligence, Dexterity decreases Wisdom, and Constitution decreases Charisma. The Mutagen's effects last for 30 minutes (10 minutes per Alchemist level). You cannot benefit from more than one Mutagen effect at a time, and the effects of a new one immediately replace those of the previous Mutagen. If a non-Alchemist consumes the Mutagen, they are Nauseated for 1 hour unless they succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw (10 + 1/2 Alchemist level + INT modifier).
    • Bombs (Su): You can create and throw an Alchemical bomb up to 7/Day (Alchemist level + INT modifier) as a Standard Action that provokes an Attack of Opportunity. The bomb inflicts 2d6 Fire damage (+1 bonus point per damage die), plus bonus damage equal to your INT modifier, and splash damage in a 5 foot radius equal to the bomb's minimum damage. A DC 15 Reflex saving throw (10 + 1/2 Alchemist level + INT modifier) halves splash damage.
      • Fire Bombadier: You only add your INT modifier as a damage bonus to bombs and other Alchemical substances if they deal Fire damage.
    Talismans:

    Equipment of Note:


    Description: Honey gold crystal bursting forth from roots of silver, this crystal seems more akin to some fruit of the earth than anything mined by the hand of man. Having once been forged for a respected and much beloved midwife and healer of the Boar Folk of Lirman this stone seeks to preserve its bearer against all the ills of the Border Woods, from poison to dark enchantment.

    Ability: The Stone of Safekeeping grants its wearer a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws made to recover from a continuing effect, such as ongoing poison damage, daily saving throws against disease, a hold person spell, or lingering damage from an attack. This bonus does not help against initial saving throws against such effects. Should the wearer ever drop below 0 hit points, the stone heals the wearer for 2d8+3 points of damage and then crumbles to dust.

    Talismans:
    • Nikure's Grace: This silver talisman in the form of two delicate intertwined spirals glows blue whenever an evil creature targets the wearer with magic jar, possession, or a similar effect, or with a charm or compulsion spell or effect that allows the creature to exercise control over the wearer (such as suggestion, but not sleep). If the spell or effect allows a saving throw and the wearer fails it, he receives a second saving throw. If he succeeds at the second saving throw, the wearer is also protected by protection from evil for 5 rounds.

    Boots of Cat's Luck

    Description: At first sight these boots looks like nothing more than sturdy travel wear, albeit with an ostentatious fastening, but to the mage's eye there is a glint of good fortune forged into the silver, such that one should only ever fall like the cat upon its feet.

    @DragonParadox, here's an updated version of the Fellowship page. I updated our consumables with items we voted on back in February. Sorry for the delay, I forgot I hadn't already added them. There are two less Sunrods in our stockpile than we voted on, since we used two of them to help light Marcella during the supernatural storm that hit the fleet before we reached Lirman.

    I'm not sure how many potions have been used from our stockpile, so I didn't mess with those.

    I also took into account the Dragon Perfume Esha used in the battle against Unke. I didn't change the finances, since I wasn't sure how you wanted to include the 1,080 gp in spoils we got in the earlier battle before we reached Noromo.

The cauldron is capable of heating any liquid placed in it to a precise temperature (anywhere from just above room temperature to hot enough to boil salt water) and maintaining it indefinitely while still remaining only slightly warm to the touch on the outside. A cauldron of brewing provides a +5 competence bonus on Craft (alchemy) skill checks.

    Drums of Haste
    This set of kettle drums is carried on a shoulder strap and played one-handed using a single two-sided mallet. By making a DC 20 Perform (percussion) check, the bearer can grant the effects of a haste spell on up to 5 creatures. The drums can affect up to 25 creatures per day.

    Fey Gold

    While wearing a Fey Gold nugget around the neck, the wearer gains fire resistance 1 and a +1 resistance bonus on Will saving throws.

    Northern Fury
    Northern Fury
    Description: This heavy oaken club, roughly carved, is not quite sentient, but still seems drawn to violence, dragging its wielder into battle with it if it can.

    Powers:
    1. +1 Greatclub
    2. The wielder takes a -2 penalty on Will saves against any spells or effects that incite rage, compel hostility or otherwise contribute to starting a fight.
    3. With the first hit made in a combat the club casts Deadly Juggernaut as a free action, but also requires the wielder to make a DC 14 Will save to retreat from melee-range of any opponent still standing. The spell can only be activated once per day.

    Horn of the Werebear
    Description: A horn in form but not of horn wrought, rather it seems to have been carved from a single piece of ivory by most skillful and loving craft. Carved all about its length with scenes of war that feature men and bears as well as the obviously quite painful transformation between them.

    Power: A sacred relic of Olweje, when this horn is blown it can temporarily transform a warrior into large, armored monstrosity of a bear, a Zentragt. The warrior must accept the transformation willingly and after the battle for which he was transformed sacrifice the arms and armor of all foes he has slain to Olweje (by eating them in his bear-form), or else the warrior remains a Zentragt and is driven battle-mad to attack his former comrades.

    The transformation takes a full round and lasts for an hour, the target of the transformation must be within 10 feet of the hornblower.

    We are starting to wear a frankly alarming amount of partially sentient magic items.

    Only because almost all magic items are partially sentient due to the imparted soul (or at least part of one).

    I'm sure if they were available we'd be wearing some nice and harmless Resistance +2, Stats +2 and a few cheap spell-effect items.
     
    Arc 13 Post 4: Dented Dagger

    • Dented Dagger ​

    Ninth Day of Elnu-Hamba (Elnu Descendent), 1349 A. L. (After Landfall)

    Bronze does not cut into accursed flesh, it burns, almost it seems to unmake, from the pinkish red of raw flesh to brown, to black, to sizzling smoke that fills the air like poison as the foul thing dies. the humanity falls from its voice, not as a mask tearing, but it seems to you almost as some flicker in the endless dark finally guttering out in agony. Just then the other one spits a foul miasma that mingles with the ruin of its companion as it falls on James. A bow falls from limps hands and you look on in horror as James babbles like a babe...

    "James!" you shout his name and call him back to his senses even as you advance on the last of the floating horrors. the thing seems maddened, almost rabid as it falls on you with its gaping maw, managing to bite into your neck. Though you lash out at it with bronze in hand the thing is just too strange a foe to slay with the second blow and it manages to find its way among the shadows of the rafters and there it crosses from light to dark and is gone as well.

    Of three foes two are gone, but you do not have time to curse your luck. "Stay with Nico!" you call to the men still reeling from the battle, wondering if any of them have healing philters to hand.

    In the main clan hall you find the sorry sight of a battle won which only a battle lost could make worse. Aina is covered all about the head and shoulders in burns, her fine robes so many rags that hang off her, though by the dagger in her hand she had not shied away from defending herself.

    Tom looks even worse in some ways, his armor and shield eaten away in places by what you might once have thought the bites of some great beast, though you have seen what Zaia's little vials do already and know now to recognize the signs of vitriol and worse things at worse. On the floor are two women's bodies, though from the way they glisten an unnatural pink like the flesh of the daemons you guess they had been vessels of the Anjo Oru.

    Jean and Peter look a lot less the worse for wear for the battle, a mark of pride for Tom's leadership almost as large as keeping Aina alive though the assassination attempt.

    As soon as you are assured than they are well you start handing out healing philters, as many as you can spare, though your mind turns to Inge and Esha soon after. Thoughts of going to their rescue are soon made moot when the girl and the sorceress arrive in the hall hand in hand having faced 'some manner of dark visitation' in Esha's words, perhaps the wizard you had seen on the battlefield, perhaps an apprentice for they could scale walls as easily and the had in their service two traitors and one of the floating fiends

    "Fortunately we were awake when they came..." Esha continues.

    "Couldn't sleep," Inge interjects in a small voice. It does not take much guessing why, nightmares.

    "The warriors were of Lirman from their dress, enchanted or bribed into service, but they had no ward against other sorcery and the enemy mage fled when Inge smote him with ice. I think all of it was distractions save against the Lady Aina where the hammer struck the hardest, but we managed to see them off..."

    "This time," Aina herself says grimly. "We will have to find out who was part of this attack and how many others could be sharpening daggers at my back."

    "Into daggers being sharpened more like..." you muse. Never before had you faced such a foe and you do not know what to make of them or what can be done . In the north at least you had some clues as to how the dark spirits had found their way into the hearts of the tribes, here you have only questions: Who had raised Unke and how, where was Obari, who had raised the dead giant, and most of all where would the shadow strike next?

    When you return to your assigned room you discover one more riddle. Someone had broken in, leaving the door creaking on its hinges and Unke's armor is nowhere to be found.

    Lost the Redman's Regalia

    What do you do next?

    [] Try to discover more about how the Redman had come to Noromo once more

    [] Ask Ohun about the giants, one of them had knows a secret close to your heart, what more do they know

    [] Gather up more of the spoils of war (will lose some reputation in the city)
    -[] Scrolls and tablets of lore
    -[] Weapons and armor, the Fellowship could always use more tools of the trade
    -[] Gold and silver

    OOC: Not entirely happy with this one, but it was either this or I wrote up one interludes per PoV and with the present rate of updates that did not seem like a good idea.

    • Oooh. It seems we survived.
    😔 (I do not know which smile is designited for "sigh of relief", assume this)
    Going to Aina was the right move.

    In my taste, it seems a bit abrupt to go from "mortal danger for everyone!" to "starting to investigate more or less peacefully".
