Lukas

As the sounds of battle rang around Lukas, a few words rang out above. Praise of Almaharra and calls for aid. Lukas could feel their sincerity, and confidence. Is that what you want, my lady? I've never called out praise as I cast spells. I mean, I know I don't cast spells often. Perhaps I should-

An arrow whizzed past Lukas's ear, bringing him back to reality. Right, my lady. We can consider that later. he thought as he knocked back an arrow, and aimed it at the Orc who shot at him.

He even cracked a smile as the club struck at a particularly vulnerable area, before moving up alongside the unnamed prisoner to deal with the gobblorc on his flank. As the Blade of Ill Omen sped towards pirate flesh, Koval glanced over his shoulder at their new ally.

Having expended all the spells she thought were (at the moment) useful, Hedwig took the time to survey the battlefield, and noted with some slight alarm that one of the orcs had broken away and started attacking the crowd - only for the white-haired half-elf to charge after him.

Ah, good. Everything is taken care of - now to retrieve my equipment.

With a firm grip on her (distressingly short) burlap skirt, Hedwig jumped off the platform, aiming to grab her equipment.

Hedwig will move to L15, then make a standard action to retrieve her gear.

Since Fel was asking about the modifiers on the wolves, here they are now.

Celestial Wolves Attack Mod: +2 (base) +2 (Augment Summoning) +1 (Bless) +1 (Prayer) = 6.
Damage: 1d6+1 (base) +2 (Augment Summoning) +1 (Prayer) +2 (Smite Evil) = +6
CMB: +2 (base) +2 (Augment Summoning) = +4

And now they attack!

Wolf 1 Attack (vs O8): (1d20+6)[17] with an additional +2 for flanking and +4 for the orc being prone.
Damage: (1d6+4)[6] +2 from Smite Evil

If this attack kills O8, Wolf 1 will then attack O1/O2/O5 as decided by this (1d3)[3].

O8 is now dead, so Wolf 1 will next attempt to attack O5.

The lead Orc's bow slips from his hand. In a fit of rage he stomps on the bow, breaking it in half. As he looks up, he watches with delight as the half-orc prisoners quickly beat down and slay his soldiers. "Orcs! Hear my call! We hail from Garakah's Tribe. You are clearly without peer.

Lukas

Lukas drew back his bowstring and as about to fire when the other divinely blessed started to speak, offering a chance to run or surrender. While the Orc Leader's offer seemed petty and self-serving, the ladies of Almaharra seemed sincere in their offers. Even a number of the orcs stopped fighting back. Was it right to kill them now, when they weren't fighting back?

Then Lukas hear the sound of one of the remaining scuffles, and turned, seeing one of his fellow prisoners skewer an orc warrior. Behind him, Lukas saw the bodies of the unarmed civilians, what was left of them. His grip tightened on his bow.

No surrender. No running away. They need to pay for what they've done.

Inward, Lukas focused his righteous fury on the one responsible for it all. The Orc in charge who called out humans for slaughter while directing this. Lukas fired his shot.

Koval

The blast of fire forced Koval back a step, his eyes closing to the blistering heat even as it flared away from him. When he opened them again, he could only stare in mute horror at the devastation wrought by the leader of the raiding party, his willingness to sacrifice his own people in a fit of pique. Any sympathy Koval had for the invaders withered in him, and he fixed his gaze firmly on the blinded raider. Something stirred in the back of his mind, and he pulled at it. The memories of battles long past suffused him, the bloodlust of his ancestors lightning in his veins, and when he moved it was with a speed beyond mortal men.

Any rolls needed?

[Felhammer]

Lukas grabs the fallen noble and leaps off the burning gallows with both ease and poise.

Suddenly, fifteen soldiers, each clad in the colors of Starg (black tabards emblazoned with a white moon and an orange stag's head) come chargining in. They are lead by a half-elf you recognize as Commander Enhjornbrecht Rangerson. Each of the soldiers's clothing and faces are stained with both mud and orc blood. The blood is so thick on their swords that you can barely see the metal underneath.

The Commander points his sword at Lukas, "Put. Her. Down."

The soldiers rush around the battlefield, pointing their swords at each of the prisoners-turned-defenders.

A Imperial priest comes rushing up. He coddles the poor girl his his arms as he quietly prays to Sonbahar.

The Commander waltzes his way across the town square looking over what has happened. He carefully steps around the pile of greasy corpses. "Interesting. What compelled you to take up arms and defend the town?"

[TheDarkDM]

Koval

As the soldiers flooded into the square, Koval lowered his sword. Watching the blood ebb from the dying goblorc, he cursed the waste, the loss of what he might have known of Garakah and her plans. All lost, now, as Starg's luminaries continued to prove themselves blunt instruments. His eyes narrowed as the ranger leveled a sword at the man who had been most willing to lay down his life for their accusers, and Koval's grip on his blade did not slacken. Stepping past the soldiers nearby without a glance, he addressed the commander.

"Is a knight not sworn to take up the defense of the helpless? Forces unknown may seek to sully our names, but justice ever prevails."

He gestured towards the fallen noblewoman in the priest's arms.

"The Princess freed us from our bonds before the goblorcs arrived. She claimed our coming had been prophesied. Fate, it seems, enjoys its cruel jests."

Glancing back at the fallen goblorc leader, he gestured at the warrior's neck.

"That one set the gallows ablaze. It was the explosion that rendered the Lady Torka insensate. Something about the creature's neck, I believe."

[BramsesII]

Kas

Kas lowers her blade when confronted by the soldiers. She's about to say something rude when Koval speaks up, making her reconsider. Instead, her comment is a simple "what he said."

[Lord Of Mantas]

Hedwig Gotlinde Level 5 Cleric (Herald Caller) HP: 50/50 | AC: 12 | Attack Bonus: +3 | Status: Bless As the tiefling killed the orc leader, and the lone human among them leapt down with Lady Torka, Hedwig's heart lightened considerably. We've done it. And then Commander Rangerson showed up, at which point things grew considerably more tense once again. "Interesting. What compelled you to take up arms and defend the town?" After Koval had given his reply, Hedwig also spoke. "I am a nun in the service of Almahara. Our creed is to aid those who cannot help themselves, to defend that which is right and good. But even if I were not sworn, I still would have, because one cannot simply stand by and do nothing in a situation like this." She cleared her throat, a touch embarrassed. Maybe I was a bit too cheesy at the end there. Indicating Koval with her head, she continued, "It is as he said. When the attack started, Lady Torka clutched her head, as if in pain. Then, she claimed that she had seen us in her dreams, and asked if we would pledge ourselves to Starg's defense. We answered the call, and she freed us."

[Othniel]

Saskia

"Consider yourself refused, jackass!" Saskia spat on the dying orc leader. "**** you and the ship you sailed in on." As the orc leader expired, the tiefling bloodrager lowered her greatsword and wiped the weapon clean upon her foe's clothing; then she stuck the blade down and leaned upon the hilt, breathing somewhat heavily as her rage left her. She watched idly as more troops filed in. "Better late than never, I suppose," she muttered to Koval, flashing him a quick grin. "Betcha they're angry we did their job for them. Outta give us a fat purse of gold for the trouble, but I reckon we'll still be lucky to get out of town alive, what with the way His Holiness treated us," she added with a sneer. Saskia left most of the talking to the others, and settled on fixing the commander with a suggestive smile.

Lukas

Lukas barely had time to feel relief at their having escaped the collapsing gallows before he was surrounded by angry, sword wielding soldiers. But there really wasn't time to assess. Not while Lady Torka still lay limply in his arms, and there was nothing much more he could do about it. "She needs a healer. Or something similar. Please." he stammered out

[Felhammer]

The Commander nods at Koval, "You proved yourselves loyal to the Tiara, that much is sure. I would be willing to grant you a temporary reprieve, until we can confirm with the Princess about the bargain she offered you." The Ranger leans over the corpse of the High Priest, "It is a shame he died. He could have compelled the spirit of the orc to answer a few questions. Such as whether the orcs and the goblorcs were in an alliance or whether their simultaneous attacks were mere coincidence. Like why the orcs were attacking in the first place. Like why they attacked today, of all days."

He stands up and brushes himself off. He walks back to the Priest and the Princess. He gently brushes her hair from her face. "The Princess is fragile. She possesses a deep connection with Sonbahar. That connection gifts her with great power but also..." He glances over at Hedwig as he says, "Comes with its own challenges."

He glares at Saskia. "Restrain the tiefling. It is still manic from the battle." Four armed guard rush over and surround Saskia, with swords drawn.

He orders two men to retrieve the orc's necklace. The Ranger studies it for a moments, rolling it between his fingers, eying the last remaining gem quite closely. He then says, "Insectoid iconography is not normal for Cloudheart. There was an ancient tribe of elves that used similar designs. I believe the nearest ruin is in Dilindor, over in Windshire. Interesting. Most interesting..."

He is interrupted by the Princess who slowly rouses herself from her slumber. She blinks a few times then looks around while still laying down. "What.... Happened...?"

The Commander bows graciously, "You had... An episode."

"Another one?"

Indeed..."

The girl stands up and walks over to Luke. "I could see you. Thank you for rescuing me, sir knight. I officially pardon you from the crime of summoning a terrible devil whose sole goal is to conquer our beloved Queendom and rule as a tyrannical King. Since you caused this mess, sir knight, I order you to rectify your transgression. You must kill the devil." Her tone is one of sheer, unadulterated, childlike matter-of-factness. It stuns everyone in the town square, even Commander Enhjornbrecht Rangerson is taken aback by the girl's straightforwardness.

"I..."

"IT. Is decided, Commander. Sir Lukas will find the devil and slay it. He will be aided by his companions..."

"Except the male Orc. His crimes were unrelated to the devil summoning."

"Very well, except for Pango the Half-Orc.

"One, two, thr... Six companions," Counts Rangerson, "Six companions to slay the devil. If they succeed, the five left who were not pardoned will be officially pardoned. If they fail, then well, they'll be dead. So either way, the miscarriage of justice will be righted. "


"Exactly. Perfectly equitable and right." The Princess then skips around the town square patting every companion and soldier on the back - except Saskia - telling them they did a good job and that their names will be mentioned at court.

[Othniel]

Saskia

"I am not manic! I am in a perfectly reasonable state of mind, thank you very much." Saskia's smile slipped to a glare, though she was wise enough not to make any sudden movements with the ring of guards suddenly surrounding her. "Easy boys; I'm not your enemy here, and I don't bite. Well, maybe a little." She showed them her teeth. "What about unnamed orc number whatever over there?" She asked, changing the subject and pointing to the remaining orc belligerent.

[TheDarkDM]

Koval

the half-elf knight's face remained impassive as the princess and the captain conducted their little drama, but inside he seethed. It seemed their false imprisonment remained a sword at their necks, doom only lifted so long as they satisfied a child's fantasy of justice. Alas, for the moment it could not be helped. Reaching through the ring of soldiers, he grasped Saskia's shoulder momentarily, his black eyes meeting hers in a look of conciliation. Patience, the gaze said, patience even in the face of these manifold insults. The gaze lasted but a few moments, before he turned back and approached the Ranger.

"Captain, if you will allow me, I may be able to shed more light on that object. All things bear echoes of their past, and something with so dark a purpose must carry an equally dark tale."

Before he received a response, Koval pivoted to the Lady Torka.

"My Lady, that you still consider us guilty has not escaped my notice. I will accompany the warrior of Reinarra, but not to absolve my sins. Rather, I shall hunt down this beast both for the good of Grimgorge and to prove us innocent entire. I ask that you forestall sentence on Pango until we return or are confirmed to have fallen. His accuser is the same as ours, after all."

If Captain Rangerson lets Koval hold the amulet, he'll spend a minute using his Object Reading on it. The pertinent rules:

At 2nd level, an occultist learns how to read information from items he examines. Examining an item in this way requires him to spend 1 minute handling the item. If the item is a magic item, the occultist learns its properties and command word as if he had successfully examined the item using detect magic and succeeded at a Spellcraft check. This ability does not reveal whether the item is cursed unless the occultist’s class level is equal to or greater than the caster level of the item. If the item has any historical significance, the occultist learns one piece of information about its past (as determined by the GM). Finally, if the item was last used no longer than 1 day ago per the occultist’s class level, the occultist learns one piece of information about the last creature to use the item. This information might be a glimpse of the creature’s appearance, a brief vision of what it saw while using the item, or perhaps its emotional state when it last used the item. The GM determines what information is gained in this way. This functions like the psychometry occult skill unlock (see page 196), but doesn’t require a skill check and can be used at will.
