Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Tettik immediately jumps into the house after Felicia, then shuts the door quickly and quietly. He turns to Felicia and sees the other occupants. "Quiet!" He whispers. "Your fabled wall has fallen and monsters are invaded the town. If we don't remain quiet the stragglers of the horde that have just burst into the city will hear us and attack."
Tettik reasons that a good strategy would be to burst into the city with the heavy hitters to clear a path, then clean up with the weaker members. This is not because he has suddenly become wise in the world.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Spoiler"...You too!"SpoilerKalaryn will cast 'Mage Armor' on herself and Drask before setting out.
With a last backward glance at her father, Kalaryn ran from the mansion. It was hard to leave him in this time of crisis. She'd much rather have stayed to fight by his side. And from the sounds of Drask's telepathic growling, he had his own reservations.
[Your dad isn't just sending the civilians to safety. He's sending you to safety.]
[Father's orders are purely strategic. In battle, I'm no different from any other soldier under his command.]
[You're his daughter. He loves you. Do you honestly think that he can put those feelings aside whenever he likes?]
[...]
Once in the streets, Kalaryn would gather as many civilians as she could reasonably protect. Going forth with confident bearing and resonant voice, she tried to act as a beacon for the desperate and frightened. She would do her best to herd the 'flock' in the right direction, while keeping them in some semblance of a formation.

"Errr, hello person that tried to kill me and the others... " then Tettik states everyone should be quiet and Felicia does so. She does wonder how long the attack would take...

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
I am hit by the sudden realisation that my foster parents are somewhere in the middle of this. I change my course to head back into the warren of the city back streets and make as quick a dash to the Inn as I can.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Tettik and Felicia
Spoiler
The man swinging his sword stops in his tracks, warned by your words, but although you are all as quiet as fieldmice, it's no use. Barely a second later, a crush like thunder makes the house shake, and around you the walls are torn apart. You look up to see a giant, taller than the house itself, swinging a giant stone-headed club in a wide arc. He wears scaly armour and his long hair is braided with thorn vines. His eyes lock on yours, and he raises his club high to strike at the ground. In the rubble outside, thousands more creatures pour into the streets.
Laucien
Spoiler
You sprint towards the breach, surrounded by other adventurers and warriors, but you don't even have to travel that far. Beastmen, centaurs, and other monsters of the forest are already spreading through the streets, torching buildings and attacking citizens. In a wide street, twenty feet across, in a warehouse district on the way to the breach, you find a swarm of monsters moving up the city and ransacking the giant storehouses. Hundreds of beastmen are moving up, with centaurs sprinting ahead of them wielding stone axes and enormous lances. You hear a guttural roar at stomach height, and a dwarf barbarian runs towards them, axe held high. On your left a heavily-armoured human with a shaven scalp begins to chant and fire envelops his hands before he hurls a ball of flames at the charging swarm. Warriors, wizards, and the worst of the worst of the city's adventuring types charge into a pitched battle in the streets, and the sound of thunderous weapons and bestial battle-cries mix with the roars of the dragons above.
Dylan
Spoiler
You quickly turn and start to sprint up towards the Aerium, at the height of the city. You have a long climb ahead of you, but your family inn is at the top of the mountain, and your foster family could be in any amount of trouble. You run through housing and shopping districts, across one of the city bridges, through the noble estate, and all around you, battle and destruction are everywhere. You are lucky- you arrive at Zephyr Street to see that the destruction has not yet arrived here, but already citizens are fleeing and panicking, and soldiers are appearing, ready to fight.
"Dylan!" You hear your foster mother cry out, and turn to see her and your foster father being pushed int the opposite direction by the crowd- up towards the Aerium, where already hippogriffs and eagles and giant flying whales are trying to carry civilians to safety.
Lady Kalaryn
Spoiler
Outside is chaos, but you manage to shout orders to the civilians to move down the mountain, towards the Tower Guild, and they begin to move that way. You head south down the mountain over one of the city bridges, and soon the Tower Guild arrives in your view. But on one side you hear roars and shrieks, and looking around, you see a giant centaur with thorn vines braided into his dreadlocks come charging towards you. He carries a stone axe in both hands, and as he charges, he swings it wildly at you.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
SpoilerYanisa, the character's name is Tettik, not Tekkit. Not a big deal but my slight detail obsession makes me mention it.
Tettik yells "Get ready to fight! Now is the time to stand strong and die with minimal complaining!" Tettik pulls out a thick vial made out of iron, pulls out the cork to reveal a bubbling, smoking, and pungent liquid he then downs in one gulp. His arms elongate, his vision grows keener, and he becomes more lithe. Then he mixes a bomb in the blink of an eye and throws it at the giant.
SpoilerTettik drinks a mutagen then makes his bomb attack, hopefully having enough time to do so.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Felicia was already half in the motion to run when Tettik suddenly decided to attack. She could have left the little critter here and then, but decided against it. There probably weren't a lot of safe places left and she barely knows the city, if anyone would know a good place, it would be him. Last hing she needed was here only source of information be smashed down. Besides, worst case, she could always flee after he gets smashed.
She takes a deep breath, looks at the giant, concentrates. She stretches one arm towards his weapon and suddenly a large vine shoots out her hand and tangles around the weapon. She gives it a strong pull, trying to tug the weapon out of the hand of the giant.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
SpoilerAs the axe pierced Kalaryn's skin, Drask let out a scream of rage. In a flurry of claws and teeth, he sought to destroy the enemy who'd dared to injure his master. The fact that Kalaryn had only suffered a minor cut didn't dampen his anger in the slightest.
SpoilerDrask full-attacks the centaur.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
As Laucian runs and sees that ground forces have penetrated the walls, he fires off several arrows before drawing his rapier and charging into the nearest enemy ranks. With his rapier striking and piercing, Laucian weaves his way through the invading force carefully picking his spots and strikes. Eventually he pulls back, draws his bow and begins letting arrows fly.
Spoiler
Unless you have specific combat that you want me to roleplay out, you can assume that Laucian continues to move into and out of combat using whatever tactics seem most appropriate. When the battle moves or the enemies are all dead, he will follow the yelling and sounds of battle to the next location and engage. If any place seems suicidal then he will either withdraw, wait for reinforcements, or try to rally whoever is around to help him fight.
Also, if he runs into any of the other PCs I will happily roleplay that scene out.

Seeing that the crowd is too thick to get through, I wave goodbye and run to a house with a high level that overlooks the city, and watch carefully as the battle rages on in the lower levels.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Lady Kalaryn
Spoiler
The centaur roars in fury at being struck, and rears high, flailing it's hooves and swinging it's axe down at Drask.
Spoiler
Full attack at Drask
Axe (1d20+5)[17] damage (1d12+3)[5]
Hoof (1d20)[14] damage (1d4+2)[5]
Hoof (1d20)[11] damage (1d4+2)[6]
Behind him, the rest of the hoard is approaching, the faster members already drawing close. They will be upon you in but a matter of seconds. Behind you the crowd is fleeing down the street through the gates of the Tower Guild, and heading for the main building. At the gates you can see guards and wizards arriving to raise defences, but they stay within the walls of the Guild.
Dylan
Spoiler
You burst through the door of a house nearby- the door is not locked, as the family has already evacuated, and sprint inside. The house is well-decorated with tapestries and plants, and two suits of elven armour stand to attention at the door. Up the stairs in the hallway you arrive on the second floor, where there is a large bedroom with a balcony overlooking the downhill side of the city. If you head out to the balcony, you can see the mountainside descend away beneath you, and you get an excellent view of the city beneath. Far to the south at the city wall you can see the perimeter breach, through which tides of monsters are still spilling. They have overwhelmed the Stalwart guards and now are surging up through the city, burning buildings and attacking civilians. In some districts, adventurers, guards, or other citizens are skirmishing with the monsters and forming barricades. Flashes of magic fly back and forwards. In the sky above, bat-like monsters and griffons zip and flit in aerial combat with the city rangers, mounted on hippogriffs, who are trying to protect the magical creatures taking off from the Aerium.
On the streets much nearer to you the brawl and battle continues. On the street directly below the balcony is one of the city bridges, where battle has already been joined. Not thirty feet away you see a Lady of one of the noble houses battling a wild, ferocious-looking centaur wielding a giant stone axe. She is assisted by some strange beast that looks nothing like any of the forest creatures, but more like a giant suit of animate armour who is fighting hand-to-hand with the centaur. Not far beyond them, civilians are being shepherded through the gates of the Tower Guild and into the main buildings. Mere seconds up the street, with the Lady in between them and the civilians, the horde of beasts is charging.
Laucien
Spoiler
You keep to the edges of the fray, jumping in and out and striking when the foes are distracted, stabbing in the back. The foes are numerous, but the adventurers are ferocious, and manage to push through. With a roar they charge forwards to the breach in the wall, and you are swept up with them. Here, hordes more monsters are pushing through, and the last pockets of resistance are still fighting. A few Stalwart guards stand back-to-back, surround by beastmen and keeping them at bay with long halberds and tower shields. Nearer to you, a vine suddenly shoots across your reach, and you see a strange sight. A fox-maiden and a rat-man are battling a giant ogre; she is pulling the weapon from it's hand with a length of vine that grapples with a life of it's own, and he is throwing explosive vials at it. The beast roars as the giant stone axe is snatched away from it, and it attempts to pummel the fox-maiden with it's bare fists.
Felicia and Tettik
Spoiler
The vine shoots from Felicia's hand and wraps around the giant's stone axe, pulling it free with a mighty tug. The beast roars in fury at being disarmed, and begins to attack Felicia with it's bare fists. As it leans in to strike, the fiery bomb detonates in it's face, and it screams in fury.
Spoiler
Full attack Felicia with unarmed attacks, going for lethal damage.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Tettik shouts "Drink this! It will help." He tosses Felicia one of his wonderful infusions, then he continues to throw bombs at the ogre. He does not notice the man trying to stab it in the back, as the ogre is busy being all up in their face.
SpoilerIf the attack hits he will throw her his infusion of cure light wounds, if it doesn't then he'll throw her his shield infusion. Then he throws another bomb.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Felicia easily dodges the attack and wonders if disarming did help them or if his fists are as deadly as the axe. When Tettik offers her a potion she, looks at it, decides to trusts Tettik and drinks it. Then she grabs her crossbow, not having a lot of offense options, aims and shoots.
SpoilerBecause the giant didn't hit (natural one, eh) I assume the infusion is a shield one, so Felecia's current AC = 21.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Felicia, Tettik and Laucien
Spoiler
All of you together combine to fight the giant, surrounding it and confusing it. Laucien's rapier drives into it's back, drawing blood, and it roars furiously, turning to swipe at him with a boulder-sized hand, but Tettik and Felicia's attacks bounce from it's hide armour.
Spoiler
Unarmed attack Laucien: (1d20+3)[19]
Damage: (1d6+5)[6]
In the midst of combat, you hear a terrible sound...
Dylan
Spoiler
Your arrow hits the centaur in the shoulder, and it gives a grunt of pain. It reaches up with an arm to yank the shaft out, and turns to see you up in the balcony. In a furious gesture, it flings the shaft back up at you, points with it's giant stone axe, and shouts to you in a guttural, braying language that you don't understand. It then turns to gallop further up the street. Behind it, the tide of monsters surges up the street, and the lady and her strange companion turn and flee through the gates of the Tower Guild. Just then, you hear a terrible sound...
Lady Kalaryn
Spoiler
You turn and flee through the gates, and the centaur does not give pursuit- something else appears to have distracted it as you flee. You run through the gates and are greeted by one of the guild wardens, who runs, panicking, towards you.
"My lady Kalaryn, the citizens have been escorted into the hallway and the senior mages are teleporting them to safety now! But there are so many, we don't know if we can save them all, and there are more elsewhere in the city! What should we do?"
Before you can reply, you hear a terrible sound cut through the city...
Everyone
Spoiler
A sound like an explosion rips through the sky, and all the city seems to stop. Beasts grind their charge to a halt, civilians stop and cower. Everyone is listening.
From the dark clouds in the night sky above, a fourth giant shape appears, plummeting towards the city like a meteorite, coming close and closer, faster and faster. With another crack, it spreads it's giant wings and lands on the Tripartite Temple, the high temple of worship in the city, crushing the stone roof beneath it's feet and bringing the temple crumbling down. Enormous black wings spread in a span hundreds of feet wide, and it tilts back it's horned, serpentine head to roar and cry out. The great red dragon opens it's mouth, and speaks:
"Invaders! Encroachers! Defilers of my home! Flee this place, or you will all be consumed! Leave! LEAVE!"
Then it turns around and looks directly up to the Aerium. With the fury of a furnace, it exhales a huge wall of flame. The buildings of the Aerium catch fire immediately, and panic takes over. The dragon turns back, dives from the mountainside, and take wing, joining it's three allies in the carnage, and the beasts of the forest charge once more.

"OhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOh crapOhcrapOhcrap." But kids, he wasn't saying crap.
Tettik shook his head, what was he thinking about? He didn't have kids and he wasn't currently talking to him, and this wasn't currently happening as a flash back. He got a little crazy when he got stressed, and he was stressed.
"Thedragonfrombaldmountainwilleatoursoulsandforceus intohiseternalwildhuntifwedon'runnowithink!" He yelled. He threw another bomb at the creature, hoping that it would strike true.
He tried to slow down the second time. "I think we need to leave the city, it's the only way we're going to survive!"
SpoilerIf the bomb misses it lands in a random square and blows anyways, and anyone who gets caught in the blast takes the splash damage, which is a reflex save for half damage, DC 15

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
SpoilerKalaryn knew well the taste of fear. It was an emotion that Drask refused to absorb, lest it weaken him. But the fear she felt right now was unlike anything she'd ever experienced. Gazing upon the ruins of her home's greatest monuments, she was forced to accept a terrible truth: The city was lost.
"Prepare to retreat."
Kalaryn hoped that her voice conveyed only a fraction of her true anxiety. Now more than ever, she needed to lead by example.
"This is not a battle which our forces can win. We must withdraw, regroup and return later. Start gathering every means we have of escaping the city: Whether it be a magic carpet, or an apprentice with 'Feather Fall'. Once teleportation stops being an option, those of us who remain will take our chances in the woods below. Move quickly. There isn't much time."

"Errr aren't the monster coming out of the forest?" Felicia protested softly, thinking the only the forest would be safer if all these creatures wanted to settle down and live in the city, but there wasn't a lot time to think or complain in the midst of battle. She tries to steady her crossbow and shoots again. "Fine, whatever, forest is fine." She says as she looks her bolt soar trough the sky, towards the giant.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Tettik jerks his head in the direction of the Laucian. "Where did you come from? Nevermind instantaneously teleporting elves, thanks for the support though I really appreciate it."
Tettik turns to Felicia. "The city is unsafe, and the only course is to try to flee from the monsters, plus the dragon has made it clear that our presence in the city is the element he disapproves of most. Our only hope is to sneak behind the invading horde and put enough distance between us and the city that they won't think to come looking for us. At least, that's my reasoning so you know me and the elf aren't just crazy. Let's make a dash for it once this big fellow falls."

Spoiler
The beast is harmed by your combined attacks, but is still fighting strong. Around you the waves of beastmen and other monsters are thinning, and there is space enough in the wall that you could easily get through. It's about a hundred feet to the wall, with rubble from the wall and surrounding buildings all over the street. With no Stalwarts remaining, the last of the attackers are running straight through and up to the heights of the city. The four dragons are still circling and blasting at the buildings below with their elemental breath, tearing the city apart. The buildings surrounding you are crumbling, as giants and ogres lay them to waste.
Dylan
Spoiler
The city is a sea of monsters running and destroying everywhere, but they are beneath you in the streets. High up on the roofs, you are able to scramble and run down the mountainside to the south side of the city- towards the breach. Down here, the waves of monsters are thinner, as they have all surged upwards. In places, you have to duck out of sight as hideous flying creatures zip past, or giants stride through the city, their shoulders level with you on the rooftops. It takes time, and caution, but you make it down to the wall without being spotted.
Lady Kalaryn
Spoiler
The wizard nods and runs away from you, shouting a hasty "Yes my lady!" as he runs. The wizards, while not prepared, have many ways to get civilians out, and even with the Aerium destroyed, the Engineers and some of the temples have help to offer. You turn to see the wave of beastmen approaching the guild, and the remaining guards and wizards summoning barriers and monsters to defend their home- but it is only to delay the force, not stop them. Suddenly, yuo hear a voice you recognise: your father, though he is nowhere to be seen.
"Kalaryn. Our family is safe. Wizards are teleporting civilians. Several have fled to the forest. Your duty, follow and protect them. Take care Kalaryn. Be brave" The voice then ends, but you recognise a sending spell- and know that means you can reply.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
SpoilerThe message came as a great relief to Kalaryn. It was so good to hear her father's voice again. Despite this, her reply started like that of any other soldier. She ducked into an alcove (away from prying ears), and spoke in a clear, professional fashion.
"Understood. Not enough time to teleport everyone. Will gather survivors in woods, then escape together."
She made it a whole fifteen words before the mask broke.
"...Scared, but okay. Will make you proud. I love you."
When Kalaryn stepped out of the alcove, her face had once again been wiped clean of worry. She immediately rushed to find a good vantage point, in order to search for survivors. Her original plan had been to leave with the other guild members. But if (as her father said) there were isolated civilians who needed her help, she'd try to reach them instead.

"Let's go!" Tettik yells. He waits just long enough for Felicia to follow, then darts away from the ogre. He waves for the family to also follow them as they run past the monsters.

Re: In the Woods, in the Woods [IC]
Felicia stored her crossbow back on her back and followed the rat-folk and the person she hadn't met before into the forest where all the dangerous monsters didn't want to be. But then again, at this point any plan seemed better then any other plan.
Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.
Countdown to Belkar's death and my follow-up count gives us less then 3 weeks left. Poor Belkar.

You stumble over the rubble around the breach, running for the gap in the wall. Mercifully, the giant seems to decide you aren't worth pursuing, and instead continues up into the city. You pass through the hole in the wall, cross a short stretch of open grass less than thirty feet wide, and enter the forest.
Inside, there is very little light, as the thick canopy blocks out what little silver light the moon gives. The trees around you are covered with moss and lichen, and the ground is uneven with undergrowth, risen roots and dead logs. All around you the earth is churned up by the thousands of feet that passed over it not an hour ago. The mountain slope continues to descend steeply before you, down into the darkness. Ahead, the forest is silent. The only sounds are the lingering echoes of battle in the city.
You have entered Cimmerwood. What will you do?

You ascend the stairs onto the walls of the Guild perimeter to scan for vantage points. Wizards and beasts are still duelling around you, and the night flashes with bursts of light from fireballs and lightning bolts, and the ground shakes with the footsteps of giants. You try to ignore this though, and look around. To the southern side of the mountain, you see that there are no remaining beastmen coming through the breach, and it stands empty. Since that is now the only entrance and exit that anyone might leave the city to get to the forest through, it seems a sensible direction to head. That said, there may be civilians anywhere, either barricaded in their houses or seeking hiding-places in the rubble. Looking south to the breach, you can definitely perceive a few individuals fleeing into the woods.

It is difficult to get across the rooftops, as the streets are wide at times, and there are still flying creatures overhead, occasionally flapping low to attack civilians on the streets, or plummeting down with the arrows of airborne rangers in their bodies. But you manage to get to the breach, which is now entirely clearly of both defenders and attackers. The bodies of a few Stalwart guards litter the floor, as well as far fewer bodies of beastmen and other monsters. The rubble from destroyed buildings is piled high. Just ahead of you, through the gap in the wall, you see a small group of humanoids- one of who you were egging on in the Arena only a few hours ago- disappear through the trees and into the forest.
