Droskar's Crag
"Get in there! Rip them apart!" The ghouls volunteered no such bravery themselves, instead choosing to retreat down the southern corridor while the two stitched together monstrosities advanced, practically crawling through the narrow passage. Each had four arms, apparently created from dozens of miscellaneous human muscles. The first lunged the final few meters, making a desperate grab for Kiyoko with one clawed hand. The thing bore a permanent look of childish delight on its misshapen face.

Drifting towards the area where Ellarie hovered invisibly, Elias reached out to take her hand. Her location affirmed, he whispered familiar words and supernatural speed infused the entire party.

The tiefling, annoyed that the thing was going to sit several yards away to bat at her, instead moved up to it and began hacking away at the dead thing.

"I intend to," confirmed the druidess before they left the woods. "The route to the castle should be fairly easy to find, but perhaps we should also find a suitable inn at which to stay as well? I suspect it will take more than a few hours to complete our task."Many thanks to Ceika for the Custom Avatar!

Before Kiyoko moved to engage the shambling horrors, Philip poked his head around the corner. Releasing the ground mica gripped in his hand, he sent a shower of crimson embers to explode between the two beasts.

Ellarie
Ellarie released Elias's hand and followed after her friend as she too allowed her rage to consume her. No thoughts in particular accompanied her song, but the feeling was familiar and comforting like a warm blanket on a rainy day or her favorite roast chicken. Or the fleeting warmth of Elias's hand in her own. It was like coming home. These thoughts were fleeting and passed through her mind in seconds as she rushed the huge undead giant that was cramming itself down the corridor at them.

Unswayed by the shambling monster's durability or the fact that they continued to claw at her, Kiyoko kept hacking artlessly at the one before her. There was really nothing to do but attempt to dismember it as quickly as possible.

Elias and Philip
A mental cheer went through the link as the first of the abominations fell, and the two wizards directed their attentions towards the remaining beast. Philip's hands rose in clawing motions, followed by a burst of flame from beneath the creature. Elias, unsure that the creature was deserving of his more potent spells, held back.

Re: Peril & Fame 2: Andoran Act 2
Vigil
Locating the castle was easy enough, considering it occupied roughly 1/8th of the available real estate in the city and was located in the dead center on a rocky hill. At the gate to the outermost curtain wall, they found a group of six Knights of Ozem, easily identifiable by their brilliant gold armor, white tunics and cloaks baring Iomedae's symbol of a longsword in a sunburst. There are more on the battlements, and they'd taken up longbows and begun to gather nearer bailey. It was about this time Cassandra and Margot realized the road was unusually deserted for this time of day. Shouldn't there be merchants and farmers pouring in and out?
"Welcome to Vigil, travelers," there was little geniality in the voice of the first knight, a tall woman with a nasty scar across her chin and lip. "You will state your names, the purpose of your visit and submit to magical scrutiny before being allowed to enter the city."
Tania had long ago vanished from sight.
Droskar's Crag
No longer amused by this game, the hulking abomination began to bellow its frustration as it continued to paw at Kiyoko. It remained unable to make contact with is clumsy swipes, restrained by the narrow passage.
Elsewhere in the dungeon more voices could be heard. What they said couldn't be made out, but there was no doubt they were sounding the alarm.

Re: Peril & Fame 2: Andoran Act 2
Andoran
The walk to Flinn's home took nearly twenty minutes as it lay on the far northeast side of Almas. What passed for a "townhouse" in this city was more like a country manor, minus the sprawling countryside. A posh, two story house stood on a gentle rise at the center of a square four acre plot with manicured hedges on all sides. The first level is white washed brick and stucco, and the second timber frame. The late 4th millennia Taldan style (still common in Ustalav and Galt) made it stand out in this neighborhood where everything else looked rather modern.
Few people were out besides the gardener in the adjacent property, tending to the rosebushes, and an older couple sitting on the porch of the red brick house on the opposite side.
Flinn's house has two doors facing the curved dirt path off of the main road. Alessandra guessed that the middle one lead to the foyer and the one on the left the dining room. Around the side of the house, there was a smaller timber building, likely used as a guest house or quarters for servants.

Margot & Gurren Bonbon
Bonbon stared forward emotionlessly despite the jagged smile carved into his chest. Between the motionless smiling face carved into it's chest, it's oversized arms, and it's undersized legs, Bonbon nearly came across as comical. Crocker sat centered on it's broad shoulders with it's own ridiculous metal face smiling down at the guards.
Margot held both her hands up and jumped down from her seat on Crocker, who was affixed atop of Bonbon's massive shoulders. She floated gracefully to land in front of the guards. "I am Margot Boulanger. My associates and I are here to discuss a grave threat to the region. I dare not speak so openly of it." She glanced around at the bows aimed her way. "I'd like to avoid unnecessary hysteria. Please feel free to use whatever magic you need. Our mission is urgent."

Looking around, Alessandra looks around once and examines the foyer door for any signs of a trap, including a cursory scan with Detect Magic. Unless something suspicious is found, she simply tries the doorknob. If that doesn't work, she approaches the smaller building instead, with a similar approach to any door in her way.Last edited by BladeofObliviom; 2017-10-07 at 09:01 PM.

Re: Peril & Fame 2: Andoran Act 2
Kiyoko
The tiefling hurtled around the corner and came to a literally screeching halt; metal boots struck sparks from the stone, and when that proved insufficient she dug her blade into the floor behind her as well to check her momentum. Over the psychic link to the others came the image of what lay before her - shapes, though alien and monochromatic as they were when viewed with darkvision, that clearly showed dozens of undead, among them another corpse compilation giant and a dragon.
Flashing a toothy grin none of her opponents could appreciate, she whirled her blade around and settled into a defensive posture, ready for a real fight this time.

Cassandra
"Cassandra Vallas," the druidess introduced herself. Honesty here, without giving too much away was probably the best thing to do, just in case they had some method of detecting untruths. "It is as Ms. Boulanger said, we are here to visit the college. I also have no qualms regarding your security measures," she added with a pleasant smile. No reason to ask about the deserted roads either, at least until they'd been granted entry. It was odd, however.Many thanks to Ceika for the Custom Avatar!

Elias and Philip
Speeding down the corridor after Kiyoko, Elias and Philip did their best to aid the bloodrager. Peeking out from behind a corner, Philip summoned his own field of writhing tendrils to ensnare the army of corpses. For his part, Elias simply held a spell in reserve, concerned that the mysterious Master might make an appearance.
Spoiler: OOCElias and Philip single move. Elias readies an action to Counterspell with a Dispel Magic. Philip casts Black Tentacles.

Droskar's Crag
While the smaller, mindless undead stomped around impotently in the morass of tentacles, the four armed hulk trudged forward and clawed out for Kiyoko. His ligaments stretched and popped at his arms lengthened to make the distance and he swiped wildly from side to side. He succeeded only in dashing one of Kiyoko's illusory doubles.
Almost before the abomination could complete his assault, the dragon's corpse came galloping across the room and bowled the first attacker aside. His teeth clamped shut a foot short as he too struggled to wedge through the gap.

Re: Peril & Fame 2: Andoran Act 2
Vigil
The three heads nodded their satisfaction after scanning the party with magic. Clearly, two paladins had detected their alignment and one fellow in light mail had likely scanned them for everything else. After consulting with the mage, the captain began gesturing.
"You will remove your amulet," she pointed at Cassandra. "And you will leave your transportation here at the gatehouse. We will keep them until your departure. Your weapons are of no concern. Should you obtain a White Card from the office of the Watcher-Lord, you may come and collect your amulet and your ... pot golem ... and move about the city freely. Until then, you shall have an escort."
Her finger went to work again and four guards went to join the party -- three knights and one of the clerics or paladins they'd seen use divine magic a moment prior.
Almas
Alessandra could see nothing concerning through the windows with the small gap in the drapes -- just a foyer with an oak floor and two overstuffed green chairs. The door did not appear to be trapped in any way. However, there was a faint, arrhythmic bumping or knocking sound on the second floor. Someone slapping a table out of tempo or a shutter flapping in the breeze. All the shutters on the front of the house looked to be secure.
Droskar's Crag
The forces of the mysterious necromancer continued to flail impotently at the choke point. The little ones were meanwhile being ripped apart by the black tentacles. Once again, inarticulate cries of alarm could be heard elsewhere in the dungeon.Last edited by Nefarion Xid; 2017-10-09 at 12:36 AM.

Re: Peril & Fame 2: Andoran Act 2
Almas
A flapping shutter? Perhaps someone left a window open around back? How strange. Alessandra turns away from the front door, practicing her usual technique to slip around back, examining the shutters as she goes. An opening away from prying eyes would be an ideal entryway, after all.
Heading around back, however, it soon became quite clear that all the shutters were secure. The noise must be coming from somewhere else. Alessandra looked around to be sure she was away from prying eyes, then approached the servant's entrance to examine the lock. A simple thing, designed more to keep out riffraff than a burglar. She began to reach into her haversack for a moment before thinking better of it, casting an eye to the smaller timber house behind her. Wouldn't do for a servant to step out and find her with picks in the door.
She put an ear up to the door of what must be the servants' quarters, listening intently for several seconds. Silence. Satisfied that the building was empty of life, she returned to the side door and cracked the lock. Effortlessly, the latch opened, and she pushed through confidently!
...Only to spot a pair of mummified corpses in butler and maid attire, which silently turned their heads toward her. Juju Zombies, Alessandra realized. More sophisticated than the traditional kind, and far more dangerous...in theory. Certainly more intelligent. They didn't make a move toward her, which suggested that whatever their orders were, she hadn't run afoul of them yet.
Who animates the dead to leave around in their home, not attacking intruders?
Alessandra paused for several seconds, merely staring back, before shrugging.
"...Excuse me, I'm looking for your master. Do you know where I might find him?"
Spoiler
Swift Action, then move to declare both Juju Zombies as Studied Targets. She's scoping them out! Then she tries to pull Diplomacy. Can't hurt to ask! Unless asking is the condition that makes them attack.
Diplomacy? [roll]1d20+20[/roll]

The first blow separated the dragon's head from its neck - again - and the enormous corpse fell silent once more... revealing the other huge abomination behind it. Kiyoko sighed, shoved her way through knee-deep rotting dragon parts, then dove into the mass of writhing tentacles, sliding between the necrocraft's legs and whirling to flank it on the other side. (Minkaian) "Again with the tentacles. Really."Last edited by Jade_Tarem; 2017-10-09 at 12:50 AM.

As it turned out, the undead did not like this very much.

Elias and Philip
While his tentacles continued to tear apart the chaff of the necromantic horde, Philip slumped against the wall to catch his breath, a fluttering of excitement and glee transmitted strongly across their bond. For his part, Elias remained on edge - there was a great deal of power on display here, and no doubt the eponymous Master would take poorly to his army being systematically dismantled. His attention turning to one of heaven's luminous firing squad, he called out in Celestial.
<"Scout the corridor, luminous one. Call out when you have encountered further resistance and we will come to your aid.">
The ball of light twinkled its consent, speeding down the tunnel while its fellows unleashed heaven on the remaining abomination.
