Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Tanya responds.
"Ah, well I come from a town up north called Mutzeburg. Supposedly, it was founded on the grounds where Lord Oberon, the god-king of the fae, proclaimed the very first wild hunt. Now, this is all legend of course, I'm not saying it's necessarily true. But still, the town does have an unusually close association with the faery folk, and they've taught our town founders some of their ways. Among other things, it is tradition that all of the women in our village study a bit of magic. My mother was actually quite a powerful magician, and she was the one who taught me what I know. I can't say that I am up to her level, but I try to help when I can."Campaign:

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Meeka looks curiously at the paper and quill. "I see people making the marks that mean words. I would like to learn how. What do you think of these Irethírra?"
When she has a chance, Meeka suggests, "We met an eccentric man who is helping us save a woman who has drunk the brew that turns people into those monsters." Meeka tries to describe how to get to Professor Eisenhardt's house. "One other place without the monsters is the innkeeper Marissa's place. Will you be safe here while we leave to get a sample of brew? Do you have any suggestions or advice for us?"Last edited by Parlity; 2010-07-13 at 02:41 PM.

Irethírra flinches mildly at Dieter's touch. "...Nothing in particular." She says.
To Meeka's question, she answers bluntly: "Fascinating, but I believe we should be going. Our intention was to collect some of the Borises foul brew to professor Eisenhardt and we have yet to do so."Alamryn Kven, a druid who tries very hard not to be useless.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Tanya begins a rudimentary explanation of the alphabet, as well as the various unique glyphs involved in the making of the various wards. It's not much, but it's enough to get a fundamental explanation of the basics.
SpoilerMeeka now has Craft (Wards) as a class skill.

Dieter looses interest in in the subject and begins to skip around the perimeter of the house.

Boris responds.
"Very well, if you think you can provide a safer location for my son and my wife, I will accompany you. Just give us a moment to gather our things."
Boris picks up his sword, and Tanya begins gathering up all of her various charms. This process is interrupted however, by an exclamation from Dieter, who is standing by the front window.
"Look!" he says. Through the boards in the window, you can see five figures approaching. They are tall, and all appear to be wearing ushankas.Campaign:

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Meeka pays close attention to Tanya's teaching. "Thank you Tanya," she dribbles in awe.
Meeka opens the door and curtly says, "Dieter get inside!"
Turning to the side, she says quietly,
"The monster we fought before could walk on the ceiling and had claws.
Let's go outside and trap them with the glue organ. Fight the ones not trapped by glue. Then blind them with the smoke bellows and run to the Professor's house. Quickly, is there a better plan we can take?"Last edited by Parlity; 2010-07-14 at 02:02 PM.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Boris nods in agreement, while Tanya holds Dieter close and begins chanting, as to cast a protective spell over him.
SpoilerThe spell is Protection from Evil, if you are curious.
Boris Bykanov gathers his family behind you, as you all begin to set out.
Meanwhile, the aberrant Borises continue their approach. They walk in a slow, almost cheerful manner, as if their immediate surroundings are the most beautiful things in the world. As they get closer, you can see a faint white glow in their eyes, like that of the eyes of a cat.Campaign:

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Irethírra steps out from the house with the glue organ in hand behind her back. She walks towards the Borises. When she assumes that they are around 5 meters away, she rises her other hand and shouts: "Halt!"
Whether the monsters stop or not she pulls forth the organ and aims it at the centre of their group.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
The glue splats out onto the feet of the Boris's, leaving four of them totally tangled and immobile. One however manages to evade the goo. The five seem confused, but do not get a clear view of their assailants, as soon the fog from the bellows washes over them.
From inside the pillar of smoke, you can hear the Boris's speak. It is not so much that they talk in unison, but rather that they finish all speak separate words of the sentances, as if they cannot decide which one deserves to speak of them.
The Boris's say, "Template detected. Secondary threats detected. Movement capacity in base: negligible. Clarity of vision: negligible. Threat level increased. Proceed to level 0.8."
From inside the smoke cloud, there are a series of sickening crunches and slurping noises, followed by a long inhuman yowl.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
As the group makes it's escape, Boris slowly pads his way out of the smoke. There are traces of the webbing remaining on his body, which inhibit it's movement somewhat, but don't prevent them altogether.
Now out of the smoke, you can see that this one has transformed further than the one you had previously fought. It's spine has jutted out and enlongated, causing his torso to hang low and it now supports it's distorted bodyshape with a set of long spines that have extended from it's elbows, which it uses as an extra pair of legs. It's hind legs have swollen and grown extremely muscular, and it now walks on a series of claws at the front of the foot, with longer back claws extended and trailing in the rear.
A long triangular frill of a bone-like structure has extended from it's neck from behind the head. It's head itself droops low, and the eye tentacle from the left eye has grown out and now loops back into the neck. A second eye-tentacle now extends out of the right eye, and perpetually twitches about. The stalks of both tentacles have an ominous glow to them.
Angered at Randolf's attack on it, Boris lunges at him, swiping with it's front claws.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Boris and Randolf exchange blows, both dealing heavy damage. Though Randolf is knocked out by Boris's claw swipe, he manages to embed his dagger firmly into Boris's skull.
"SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEE" shrieks the monstrous Boris, clawing maddeningly at it's face.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Boris grunts as Meeka swings her weapon, but he manages to duck, and she only manages to hit the carapace over his head, leaving him unarmed. However, he is then hit by a follow up attack from Irethírra, right in the gut.
Breathing heavily, Boris tries to make an escape, leaping up the side of the nearby house, and making it's way onto the roof. However, in its rush to escape, Meeka makes her second attack. This one hits it's mark, leaving Boris panting for breath as it makes it to the top of the roof.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Boris shudders backward as the second dagger embeds itself in his shoulder.
Grunting, he bends forward, and with a sickening pop, a series of flanged spins sprout from his back, one by one, with four in total.
Boris lets out a howl, and the spines begin to glow a bright yellow. The spines grow steadily brighter, until finally, with a cracking noise the light is released. Five beams aim straight upward, cutting through the cold night sky like a knife. They soon arc forward, plunging into Telim, Irethírra, the human Boris, and Dieter. The young boy's defensive spell quickly begins to distort and warp the blast, sending it off target, but the other three hit.

Re: The Secret of Trottelburg IC
Crugretor Starting Point:
SpoilerDoombringer, feel free to jump in here whenever you like.
It's been a long night. It is late, dreadfully past midnight, and you are out in the cold air, in the forest of Bohrenvolk, without a proper spot for camping. You have passed by a dried riverbed, but no other landmarks of interest.
At least until you find you path blocked.
A small, oddly shaped figure is in the way. It is roughly humanoid, but only about a foot tall. It has skin with the color and texture of aged wood, and it's head resembles a nut or acorn of some kind. Wings resembling dried leaves jut from its back. Right now it is engaged in some odd task that only it seems to know the purpose of.
It picks up a rock, larger than it should be able to carry, and places it in a crude circle, formed of other rocks. Noticing you, it turns it's head and gives a vague greeting.
"Oh. Hello man-folk."
But then immediately goes back to it's task without another word.Campaign:
