Leofwein vs. Mother of Dragons - Extra Critical Hit (WP3 x 3 + lvl 2 = 11 Dmg)

>Polly & Mr. Sanders vs. Mother of Dragons - Miss (Nothing happens.)

The party can't seem to get their battle juices flowing and Orel gets to deal with the dragon's stinky breath again. Leofwein, healed by Lynne's potion, hacks away at the mother dragon, making her bleed profoundly. Polly tries to follow-up to Leofwein's success, but her attack misses the dragon by an inch.

[Endgame]

Leofwin should be healed.

"Alright then... Time to end this."

Lynne strikes the Wyvern Youngling from the back row, changing her target to the Mother of Dragons (also from the back) should the Youngling fall by the time the battle order reaches her.

[Waterbrick Down]

Polly repeats.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Leofwein attacks the mother front row, Orel takes the remaining baby Dragon, front row . Same order.

Party leader, please distribute the spoils of battle:

Fire Bomb - Causes 5 points of fire-elemental damage to all enemies.

2x Venom - Use on a weapon to make it cause the poisoned by 1-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle.

Bone - Can be thrown at monsters to distract them for a turn. Worth nothing, except in magic shops where it’s worth 5 gold.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Good fight! Alright, I will take the 2 venoms, Polly, you can have the fire bomb, just have caution with that thing. Lynne you take the bone AND the spare potion in my inventory.

Leofwein then applies a venom to his axe.

[Endgame]

"Alright, got it."

Lynne pockets the loot and steps back onto the caravan.

"Ready to continue, Dzahr?"

[Waterbrick Down]

Polly stowed the firebomb away carefully, "Are we there yet?"

"Ready to continue, Dzahr?"

Polly stowed the firebomb away carefully, "Are we there yet?"

"It's not far now, we're practically there.", Dzahr reassured the party.

And lo' and behold, his words could still be heard in the wind and at the horizon the party saw a city -or fortress- rise in the distance. As the cart wheeled closer, the heroes could see a mighty wall blocking their way into the city. Like most of Dastan's structures, the walled was built from sandstone. The mighty wall was slowly starting to crumble, though and it looked quite worn.

The air was getting colder and the surroundings were definitely getting more green. It became clear to the heroes that they were reaching the northern parts of Dastan.

"Halt, travellers! The fortress-city of Farrech, the Last Hearth of Dastan, is under lockdown. Reports have it that a rampant Wyvern and her Younglings are terrorizing the area."

"I am looking for information about a lost pelgrim. A servant of Ennoc. Some say he was last seen in your fair city. As for the Dragons, I can assure you, they will bother you no more. We have slain them."

"How do I know you do not speak lies, servant of Ennoc, God of Light? Do you have proof?"

[Endgame]

"I carry a bone from the wyverns!"

I hold the gnarled bone up, hoping it would be enough.

[Khorne]

"Goshdarn, you are speaking the truth. No one a bone that size'll just be laying at the side of the road. Wait and I'll come right down to open up the gates for you."

The guardsman quickly made his way downstairs and ordered some others to help him open the gate. As the heroes entered he gave a quick salute and motioned them to stop.

"Wait up, Dragonslayers! That's quite a feat you pulled there. I'm sure the captain will reward you if you swing by the Army Barracks here in fair Farrech."

The heroes nodded thanks to the guardsman and ventured into the city. It was much larger than Port Glazmouth, but just as lively. The crowd, however, seemed to consist way more out of military men than merchants, though. It was clear that Farrech was a fortress town, bent on guarding the northern border of "civilized" Dastan.

"I guess we'd better start asking around if anyone's heard of a missing servant of Ennoc around these parts. It's probably best if we hit the inn or talk to some shopkeepers. Of course, if you want, we can swing by the captain's quarter's first."

What will the party do?

QM Note: I'll see if I can make some decent photos tommorrow and they you'll be able to choose where you're heading.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Ladies, let's head to the barracks first, we can maybe grt more gold to pay for an inn."

[Endgame]

"I'd think the captain would know the most, so lets go see him."

[Waterbrick Down]

"I'm fine with that, but I'm not giving him this essence of fire from the beast's belly." Polly brandished the fire bomb.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"To the barracks it is, then. Polly, we won't let that go, just hold it tightly and don't drop it, aye?"

Edited October 17, 2014 by Capt.JohnPaul

[Waterbrick Down]

"I think I can handle that." "Can't we, Mr. Sanders?"

[Khorne]

QM Note: Sorry guys, but there won't be another update today. I'm ill, which is also the reason why I didn't update yesterday like I promised . I'll try to update in the weekend, though. Again, sorry.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Ooc: No problem! Feel better!

[Khorne]

Like the Heroes said, they went to Imperial Dastanese Army Headquarters of Farrech, colloquially known as the Barracks or even the 'racks, first. The building itself wasn't that hard to find. As the northern-most bulwark of the the army, and the Empire in general, Farrech was quite rundown, even looking dilapidated at times. It was clear that the city had seen its fair share of armed struggle in the past. Therefore, unlike most of the other parts of the Empire, the architecture of Farrech was a mixture of sporadic, yet typically Dastanese sandstone structures and the more bountiful wooden houses and buildings.

The barracks, being an important building, were of the former type. A big structure pulled up in sandstone, to underline the might of the Empire.

"Strangers", the captain gently nodded. "State your business with me."

"We are the slayers of the rampant Wyverns. We were told there might be some sort of reward in it for us?"

"So you are the ones who got rid of that problem? Very curious if you tell me, for those dragons to roam the countryside looking for food and slaughtering people. I haven't witnessed that often on my watch. Usually, they stay in their mountain territories."

"Anyway, that is a big problem you've taken off my shoulders. For that, you should indeed be rewarded. Here, in the name of the Empire of Dastan, I grant you each a sum of 15 gold pieces."

"Now, is there anything else you'd like? What business brought you to the northern border of our glorious Empire in the first place, if you don't mind me asking? I'm sure there are nicer locales to visit."

"We're here looking for a mission man. He's with the god of light and eagles and stuff."

[Endgame]

"Thank you, sir.

And, yes, we are looking for a missionary."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"We are heroes of Herocia... Orel do you want us to saymuch? I think ye said ye didn't want us to let everyone know."

[Khorne]

"We're here looking for a mission man. He's with the god of light and eagles and stuff."

"Ah, so you mean Ennoc? I can see why the Order might send one of their missionaries here, up north. As you might've noticed, you're kind of at the maximum extent of Dastanese power and culture. If you head even farther north, the people will only be Dastanese in name and not so much in culture. Ennoc's followers stand somewhat strong here, but there is competition with more wild and primeval deities. Especially in the backwater regions of the northern border lands."

"Thank you, sir. And, yes, we are looking for a missionary."

"I'm the Captain of the local garrison here, so I mostly follow-up on military matters or deal with speaking Dastanese justice in the name of the Emperors here. I don't know all folk who come and go here, but I vaguely recall something about some holy man. You'd better ask around in town. Like I said, I only vaguely recall something and it wasn't really my business, so..."

"We are heroes of Herocia... Orel do you want us to saymuch? I think ye said ye didn't want us to let everyone know."

"It's fine, we can trust the Captain, I believe. I just didn't want the coachman to know. It wasn't his business. All his job pertained was taking us here. Anything else you like to ask the Captain? About Farrech or other matters?"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"More primeval and wild deities? Hmm is it possible these wild barbaric cultures have the audacity to kidnapp a follower of Ennoc?"
