Haas summons 1d3 avorals to chase down the Face via dimension door and pepper him from a distance with empowered magic missiles.

Luigi approves of such tactics.  We didn't really do damage to him, so he's just going to be annoyed

I pick up the anime sized hammer of fey fury to see if it shrinks.  Noting that the "maker of war" didn't fury.

The avorals return after giving chase for a round, saying he was teleproted away.

It does not shrink.  It is a great hammer from a large creature.

Whoever casts notes that it has a necklace and bracers that are magical.  The necklace is a long heavy silver chain with many of the links designed to look like different fey.  The braces are unremarkable in design.

The body dissolves in crackling electricity over a few rounds.

Ash - for death blossom arrow storm that saved at least one of you from death - 4500xp

Saladien - for showing off your new combat skill and songs - 4250xp

The bladesinger's body, as well as three of his elven warriors are still in the field.  One fled.
Title: Re: Unzatisfying Victory
Post by: Asinjin on January 26, 2018, 09:42:15 AM
The archers that had exited the forest all get away, with their dead and wounded.  Those that Ash killed or badly hurt (and then I assume killed after the fight) in the forest are all there as far as you know; eight in total.  Ash thinks, using his combat experience, that there were at least two more shooting at him and Saladien not accounted for among the bodies.

Standard procedure I assume you scan them for notable items.  Cinda and Saladien, as well as Yancee stop any desecration.
Title: Re: Unzatisfying Victory
Post by: Asinjin on January 26, 2018, 09:43:18 AM
Spotting and scanning the area reveal that there are no fey still nearby.  The sakor'akai in the forest watch from a distance, but flee if you try to talk to them.

If we are going to remain in the area for a bit, Grant will pray to swap out a 4th level spell for Sending.  He will send to the Mayor, "The 'Face' his and cohorts are defeated or run-off. Sakora'ki community free.  Send representatives to reassure and reconnect. Beware non-Owtians still in area. Praise Tyrogatore"

We're only 3 miles away.  Rom'pei can travel through plants and relay the message to the leaders of Owt while the rest of us tend to the dead and try to reassure the Sakorakai. 

If anyone from the Axis powers returns to this area, they get attacked on sight.  Valizar is furious that the cowards fled.  They've been judged as unworthy terrorists by The Great Lizard and they are avoiding their inevitable punishment; that punishment being my hands at their throats until the darkness takes them.

"Thank you, brave Guardinals, for trying to apprehend the scaled tyrant. For the remainder of your time on Habololy, please scour the area for hidden threats.

Tyrogatore does not approve of desecration. Haas will not allow Ash to collect any trophies. In front of him.

At some point, I suggest to Haas that he should Scry his stolen item (Tyrogatore's Crown) again.  I'd like to know who has it so we can reclaim it for the faith.  The other items would be nice to recover, but they aren't as important as the artifact.

Saladien plays a melody unfamiliar to everyone else but hopefully familiar to the Sakorakai.  Perfrom check.  Rolled a 13 for a total of 55 with a buff from Cyrus.

I think I did that already plus Discern Location. They were in Greenfellows domain sitting on a table that had a written message saying “come and get them.” I will check on the periodically to see if they move.

I know you did it initially.  This was a request to make sure they didn't move or get destroyed.  You said you'd check periodically, so that's good.

And since we need some good PR, we will offer the bodies back to the opposition in hopes of demonstrating we are not monsters.

Does Detect Blessing let you figure out which Deity the divine spells belong to?  If not that, who the caster worships?

Vor'Ruk nods " true honor, not just Orcish honor, is not bragging about the victories with gruesome trophies. it's hearing the lamentations of the enemies upon seeing who they are against.  Like seeing fearie trolls use tricks and magical walls to try  to defeat you!" and nods and thuds his chest.  " But.. not everyone can right like an Orc"

There is a lot going on in game, and with the need to focus on getting ready for the seas next week and the fact that we will do at least one wrap up session in the summer; I think it best to hold off on conversations with NPCs.

We can continue with the item identification and some other things.

The rod is meant to be stuck in the ground and you gather provides some protection in an area around it.  What exactly it protets against you can't say.


The ioun stone allow you to see invisible.
