Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Zariel holds out the IOU and the elf waves him off. Both the elf and dwarf pull long slim daggers from their belts and after brandishing them for a moment they slice open the meaty part of their palms before shaking hands. Seems they have struck a deal. The elf turns around and stalks off to the largest clump of his followers.
MArak turns to Rrrlaf and says Rrrlaf old mate, he then switches to heavily accented draconic Me break paper with you. He pulls a vellum scroll from a scrollcase and shows a simple work contract signed by a Marak Thanedeep and {in draconic}Rrrlaf. Rrrlaf blinks surprisedly at the dwarf but I must pay you as per our terms. Here is you pay. He takes a hefty pouch of clinking coins from inside his shirt and hands it to the kobold. Rrrlaf, thanks Marak. We do work again. Marak simply nods smugly Sure thing little guy.
Marak walks over to the cart and begins to examine the damage while the kobolds unhitch the remaining Rahna's and lead them down the road a bit after some of them get to work butchering the dead one. Rrrlaf looks at the three standing outsiders You all come to see [winged elder] now?

"I may return to see how you've fared in keeping the soil bloodless." Sophiel telepathically said to the elf, "There is profit in such a deed, and you shall find rewards beyond the dwarf-thing's payments."
Closing her eyes, she sent another telepathic message to the outsiders nearby, including Waetir and Excalith, "I believe you may reveal yourselves to the little ones and suffer not. They regard us without trepidation."
Turning to the kobold, Sophiel simply said, "Yes, if my compatriots are willing."

Celeste says to Rrrlaf, "Yes, we will go see your elder very soon, but we need to talk to dwarf and elf quickly beforehand." She waits patiently for the deal to be sealed in blood, and then steps up to make a short speech. "And there you have it. A solution that works for everyone." Looking at the dead bodies, she shakes her head and adds, "What a waste. However, all is it not lost. We worship a god named Trual, and I believe we may be able to bring some of the dead back to life if enough people worship Trual. We must be off for now, but if you are interested in hearing more about our god, please look for us. I am Celeste."
The elves and dwarf soon forgotten the kobolds are swift in their butchery, eating as the cut up the great lizard. The meat is quickly packed and stowed on the other Ranha's. Harnesses and tack for the beasts coming from the packs of the other kobolds. The three remaining Ranha's are mounted, 2-3 kobolds to an animal and they proceed back down the road the way they came, the lizards move at a swift walk but not much faster.
The kobolds seem to be in good spirits but are wary in the forest.

It looks as if my allies have divested themselves from the goodly races and somehow became attached to the Kobolds. Perhaps the kobolds shall be amendable to my appearance, and if not I'm certain I can intimidate them into keeping their opinions to themselves. Excalith thought as he watched the small dots that represented the different people's at the meeting moving on. With a simple thought Excalith again teleported himself, this time behind the rest of his allies and the Kobolds. It was a quiet appearance, and as he did not say a word (Both for he could not understand the Kobolds, and he expected his allies to inform him of what came next), only if the Kobolds turned would they see the gigantic humanoid monstrosity walking in pace behind them with its arms clasped behind its back.
Once away from the elves and dwarf, Waetir summons another Unicorn and sits upon it before allowing himself to become visible. He nods to the others and the kobolds, before dismissing the unicorn once more, and beginning to fly 40' above the rest of the group.

The kobolds notice Excalith and Waetir's appearances with some commotion. Chattering back and forth in draconic for some time before Rrrlaf says to the three more humanoid of the troop Are these others with you?

Once away from the more - normal humanoids, Zariel allowed his more human shape to fall away, revealing a form similar - save for the massive black-feathered pinions stretching from his shoulderblades.
Indeed, they are with us. We have been traveling in disguise in order to avoid alarming others with our somewhat... unusual appearances, but we feel that you and yours are sufficiently brave and cunning to look past our strange outer forms.

Rrrlaf beams with pride at the thought of such powerful and honorable beings pandering to him You are right to come with us. [Winged Elder] will be greatly pleased. You notice that Rrrlaf seems more comfortable now and speaks more smoothly and with far less of the idiot speech patterns. He asks you Where do you come from? And why are you here?

Zariel smiles gently, glad to see that the appeal to the little creature's pride seemed to have struck home. They might prove more pliable and ready converts than he had thought.
We come from many places - but each of us serve the same Lord, the great God Trual. We are here to bring the word of his glory to this world, and endeavor to shepherd those who dwell here into His light.

Celeste is curious about this Winged Elder. Obviously the 'bolds venerate this being, so influencing the Winged Elder could bring about some worshippers to Trual. "Tell me a bit about this Winged Elder. What does he or she look like? And you seem to have great respect for your Winged Elder, right?"
Turning back into her angelic form, Sophiel had a face resembling somewhat of relief. Celeste had been correct about the robes, and they seemed airy enough to allow the celestial's wings to sprout.
"It may be awhile, Let us speak as we walk." The angel said as she gazed upon her hand, focusing on her powers until her complexion returned to its normal hue.

Rrrlaf watches everything you all do as you change and shift back to your natural forms You are alll, obviously very powerful beings. Tell me about this Trual. I have never heard of this name for a god here.
He turns to answer Celeste's questions He has been my tribes leader for a very long time. Every 'bold in the tribe respects [Winged Elder] he is the heart of the tribe. His blood flows through some of the tribe, like myself.
In response to Sophiel Rrrlaf says We will travel into the night and then rest. We can do almost everything from the back of a ranha!

Zariel paused for a moment, thinking what to tell this kobold as they rode to meet its master. The comment about bloodlines had only served to further some of his suspicions. Trual is a great lord and... unique among the gods. He rewards his followers hadnsomely, but moreover he does so fairly... and he accepts everyone under his wing, unlike some of the so-called deities of light. He is just, and perhaps the best aspect of him is that he allows anyone, regardless of who they are, to shape and achieve their own destiny, whatever they wish it to be. He rules fairly, and for the benefit of all of his servants.

Rrrlaf turns to say something to Zariel when on eof the other kobolds begins to chatter something very excitedly while pointing into the forest. As Rrrlaf turns to look where the kobold is pointing a pair huge black tigers leaps from the trees landing on the central Ranha. The kobolds are flung to the sides landing heavily on the ground. Both tigers begin to rend the Ranha swiftly spilling its guts across the road, raising a foul stench. The lead Ranha spins hissing at the panthers, the rear also balks hissing at the cats.
The kobolds begin to gather themselves some of them are able to fire their crossbows into the side of one of the tigers, the other pick themselves up and begin to gather and reload their crossbows.
[Combat- First come first served! I'll make a Q&D Map in a bit.]

Celestesighs as the two black panthers leap and kills a ranha, "Well this will slow us down even more. Too bad for YOU, Trual needs worshippers, and animals can't exactly worship. Now HOLD STILL and let us send you to to yuor eternal rewardd" With a thought, she uses her mighty innate abilities to attack the two felines.
Spoiler
If the creatures are big enough so that she can target them normally even though they're affected by Stinking Cloud, Celeste will cast Hold Monster on one of them. DC29 Will Save or be held. If the Stinking Cloud has blocked her vision enough so she can't target them with targeted spells, Celeste will instead run forward to get a better angle (if need be), then use her Empowered Fireball (Electricity damage) placed behind the felines so it will hit the two felines and ONLY the felines. DC27 Reflex save or take (9d6)[33] x 1.5 = 49
Excellent. I haven't had the joy of meat for quite some years. Excilath shouted as he barreled forward rushing past all of the other combatants to slam into the tiger on the right.
Spoiler
If his reach can extend far enough (it should) he strikes from outside the cloud.
Each successful hit also produces a DC 34 Fort Save against a Stun of 1d4 rounds

Damage (4d6+19)[31]
Stun (1d4)[2]
Push (5ft) Against the tiger on the Right into the other tiger if possible. (1d20+29)[47] (No size advantage bonus)

The two black panthers are instantly enveloped in sickly green vapors that seem to cling to them. Both look irritated but look around for the source of the vapors.
Celeste's spell locks one of the panthers down, it goes rigid instantly.
Moments later Excilath lams into the side of the rigid panther bashing its body into the next. Both of them are knocked aside and get further pulverized by the huge stone demon.
Spoiler
Damage
A-Held 9, Stunned 1, 61
B -Stunned 1 30

Sophiel grimaces in annoyance at the circumstances; a pair of wild beasts... "How troublesome." She murmers.
The angel hoisted the cumbersome glaive from her should and tossed it aside, the weapon's otherworldly energies already dissipating and vanishing into nothingness. Taking flight, she flew towards Rrrlaf and picked the little kobold up, wrapping her arm around its stomach. As contemptable as she found Rrrlaf, the kobold was their connection to its master.
The celestial beat her wings to the ground, making sure to put as much distance between her and the beasts as was neccesary. Saying nothing, the angel merely scanned the area below, looking for any wounded or a place to set the kobold down safely.
Spoiler
No rolls needed, right? Unless Rrrlaf doesn't want to be picked up? <_<

Zariel watches as the others assault the black-furred beasts. After a moment, he took to the air, where he made a simple gesture, sending a trio of burning rays into the panther that Waetir was not attacking
Celeste walks forward calmly, one hand outstretched and pointing to the held jaguar for theatrics. "Beast of the land, perhaps there may be some use for you after all. You can repace the beast of burden you just felled." With that, she wills forth magic to turn the Dire animal into their friend. She will finish her movement next to the held jaguar.
Spoiler
Charm Monster on the Jaguar that is current Held by the Hold Monster spell. DC28 Will save negates.
Excalith merely glances to the side as Celeste performs her magic on the beast. Focusing his attention to the still unmesmerized animal Excalith raises his arms and brings them down with tremendous force.
Spoiler
Power Attack for nine on the animal that Celeste isn't trying to charm.
Attack (1d20+17)[31]
Damage (1d20+28)[41]
Stun DC 34 (1d4)[4]
Zariel nodded in approval as Celeste moved to charm the animal, wearing a small smile on his handsome face. He also watched as Excalith systematically pumelled the remaining creature, and directed another series of fiery rays in that direction
Celeste feels her magic sink deep into the mind of the held Jaguar. It cannot react or do anything else but she can feel the magics are successful.
Excalith again slams into the second Black Cat. It can only stand stunned as it takes the beating.
Zariel's beams burn into the cat, scorching a pair of holes into its hide.
The kobold troops all ready themselves and let fly a volley of crossbow bolts at the mobile cat, peppering it with crossbow bolts. In unisom they begin to reload, a well drilled firing squad.
-Waiting on Sophiel...then new round-
Spoiler
A- Held 7, Charmed, 61
B - Stun 4, 174
