(IC): A Changing World [3.5]

[Beschoren]

Titian, the Mid-age bizzare ninja tortle

One of Titians tentacles silently comes some inches out of his shell. it stands still, as if peeking the suroundings by itself. The tortle seems oblivious to it.

(OOC: cosmetics: his googles of foefinding is actually a mask, just like the original ninja tutles)

[zagan]

Shortly after everyone exept Charis and Aukel are hidden, a huge form still yelling to himself appear betwen the tree, it look like a huge metalic tree with a face in the center of the trunk (DC 19 to identify) next to him is a big but normal looking ape. The creature look very agitated and confused.
"NO, It still work but I just can't feel it, Why ?"
He stop upon spoting Charis and Aukel.
"Who are you ? Are the one that did this to me !"
He take a step toward you, "Answer me !" He now look angry, the ape at his side seem really confused by what's happening.
Both are too distract to look for any hidden enemy for the moment.

[Kobold-Bard]

Charis

"No we didn't. Me and my companion have been similarly afflicted, we are not your enemies."

[zagan]

Aukel quietly nod "We have nothing to do with this we're going to the city of Clertep in the hope of finding an answer."

The creature doesn't seem convinced, "You don't look changed to me ! How do you explain that ?"

[Kobold-Bard]

Charis

"Up until this morning, I was bald. If i cut my hair it grows back immediately. My change is subtle, but still present."

[zagan]

The face on the trunk look suddendly angry again. "You want to convince me with regrowing hair !! Any two bit mage could do that ! Look at me I'm almost entierely made of metal, I can't feel my connection to nature anymore !"

[Frog Dragon]

Argal pressed his face to his palm and decided to walk into the scene. Approaching the metallic trunk with his sword still on his shoulder, he spoke "How about me then? I turned scaly!" He stopped at about 30 feet from the metallic trunk. "If you want to go accusing a random batch of travelers for your misfortune, then so be it. But let it be known that we're not responsible."

[zagan]

He seem really surprise to see someone emerge from the bush and the comment enrage him. "What are a few scale ?!"
He look suspiciously around but doesn't spot any of the other."Do you have any accomplice waiting to embush me ?! It doesn't matter you've trespass in my forest prepare to die" He get a crazy glint in his eyes and move to attack.

Roll for initiative:
Aukel: (1d20+2)[18]
Argal: (1d20+9)[13]
Charis: (1d20+2)[7]
Michael: (1d20+3)[8]
Roland: (1d20+3)[18]
Titian: (1d20+2)[6]

I've places Charis, Aukel and Argal on the Map, could the other give me their position ? 100ft back I believe.

Michael uses his psionic concentration, and his new connection to the elements, to let loose a more powerful bolt of psionic energy than ever previously possible at the Treant after moving 50' closer up (FROM: W10. TO: M10) the right side of the road (50' away now, within range of Energy Ray)

Energy Ray (Electric)- 8 power points spent (6 for level, 1 for Talented, loosing psionic focus, and 1 for Elemental magic)

Ranged Touch Attack: (1d20+10)[15] (+7 ranged, +3 electric from Treant being metal)
Damage: (8d6)[22]

[Beschoren]

Titian, the mid-age bizzare ninja torlte

knowing he would move just too slow if he kept in hiding, titian uses his mind powers to increase his speed. in fact, as he moves towards the treant, he just slides along the ground. He shouts to the others "Leave way for the charge!"

The tentacles emerge, aggitaded. they are coiled as if gathering strenght

manifests skate to increase 15 feet to land speed (now 35).
moving from X12 (100 feet away)to Q13

Aukel steps forward to G12, maintaining his song as dark energies coil around his sword, slamming into the ape.

Using Strength Draining Strike on the ape (which takes 4 strength damage as well as normal damage if I hit, DC 13 Fort save for half the strength damage).

Aukel's eyes flash from green to red as the ape tears into his side. His song takes on a harsh, otherworldly tone briefly and then falls silent as he steps forward again and swings at the treant, planting his feet deep in the earth and subtly shifting his weight as he does so.

Ceasing Inspire Courage (the benefit will remain for 5 rounds) and stepping forward to D11 as a move action. Then switching stances to Martial Spirit and using the Stone Bones maneuver.

Attack roll: (1d20+11)[31] Natural 20!

Roland and Argal turn.

XP: You all gain 800xp.
Loot:
- 2 feather looking magical
- Wooden holy symbol of very good quality
- A magical Rod
- A magical cloak
- A pair of magical google.

[Frog Dragon]

"Well, I suppose it's time for the par-for-the-course for adventuring. Taking the stuff of the beings we kill." Argal remarks, walking to the dead bodies. He picks up the cloak, rising it to the level of his face (rather high) and says. "We will need to identify the properties of these things."

[Kobold-Bard]

Charis

Charis sheathed his swords, and touched the metal tree, sending a tiny jolt of white lightning into his metallic body before doing the same to the ape, sustaning their lifeforces.

"They were scared and freaked out, same as we were when we woke up, and I don't kill unless I have to.

-----------
Cast cure minor wounds on both to keep hem back to 0hp.

Dibs on a feather.

[ForzaFiori]

Michael looks at the loot from the two beings, and picks up the goggles. "There is one sure-fire way to test them you know. We could always just put on the cloak and goggles, see if anything happens."

[Beschoren]

Titian

The tortle remains in silence. It's tentacles look still aggitated, and so he back away from the treant and ape before something bad happens. Charis is right - both where scared and confused, just like the group was, and should not be murdered like criminals.

The ninja is still having a hard time thinking... could the transformation be altering his very mind? is fo, how much? and in wich direction?

(ready to move on)

[Zore]

Roland


"... How many more things are we going to find changed like this?" Roland mused as he slipped back into invisibility. The encounter had left him a bit disturbed, and he began to wonder if he would have reacted the same way had he been alone.

Ignoring the magical things, Roland began to think more about the transformations and their unusual effects. Their random nature was confusing and more than a little frightening and he began to think what may have happened in a city if everyone had been affected as they had...

"Guys? This could be bad, if this has gotten as far north as our destination... If even a quarter of the people there changed there may have been a lot of bloodshed."
