Asphalt Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 "If there is nothing anyone desires I will do my best to gauge your needs. Warlen, I will honor your request for the Robes, wear them well. Be certain we will utilize your newfound power in the coming battle. Miderun and Bobby you both could use some additional protection, Bobby take the Nice Boots, Miderun the Loincloth. Unfortunately that seems to leave Annienal and Myself without gear so I will divide the gold equally between us. If you wish to trade among yourselves feel free." Loot Division Vindsval- 75 Gold Annienal- 75 Gold Warlen- Fenarian Robes of the Vampire(SP:3, Max. Ether +4, Immune to Darkness, backwear) Bobby-Nice Boots(SP: 1, Footwear: Immune to Earth and Darkness) Miderun-Loincloth of the Ancient(SP: 3, Absorbs Earth, footwear) Quote
CMP Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 "Thanks, Vind." Miderun drapes the Loincloth of the Ancient around her waist with little more than a shrug and pulls off her Tricorne. "I thought for a minute there you guys were trying to talk those two down. No doubt that oshuulsuuln had fed on many people. He was a bandit, no?" reasoned Miderun, glancing sideways at Annie and Vindsval. Quote
Asphalt Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 "The Vampire, no, the abomination was to be destroyed. If there had been hope for the Ancient on I would have given him his reprieve. But he made his decisions. I now feel only sadness for the loss of the knowledge contained within his experiences." Vindsval looks at Miderun in her new outfit. "It suits you." Quote
Zepher Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 "Yo man, life is tough. It's a straight bummer we had to kill them, but I dunno if I hated them, yo. They just weren't digging our vibes." Bobby pulls on his new boots. "Pretty fly, right?" Quote
Asphalt Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) "Bobby my small pointed headed friend, I do believe you may cause Annienal to go mad before our adventure is at an end." " I believe it is time we begin preparing to meet Cole." Edited April 22, 2015 by Asphalt Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 " I believe it is time we begin preparing to meet Cole." QM Note: Does anyone have any preparations to make, or should I start the encounter sometime later tonight? Quote
Kintobor Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 "I thought for a minute there you guys were trying to talk those two down. No doubt that oshuulsuuln had fed on many people. He was a bandit, no?" reasoned Miderun, glancing sideways at Annie and Vindsval. "Well... I was hoping we wouldn't have to brandish our weapons and that we could manage to talk them down without a fight... but I guess not...." Annienal mumbled. "Yo man, life is tough. It's a straight bummer we had to kill them, but I dunno if I hated them, yo. They just weren't digging our vibes." Bobby pulls on his new boots. "Pretty fly, right?" "I don't believe your boots fly, Bobby." Quote
Asphalt Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Vindsval reaches into his pack and removes a Mead and Two vials of Venom. He applies the VenomX2 to Verkenner and Drinks the Mead in preparation of the upcoming conflict. "Prepare everyone, The wind blows foul." OOC: I think you can start the encounter. Other than dowing a potion or two I think we are good. Anyone have anything they need to do. Quote
CMP Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Miderun slurps down her Mead, licking her lips at the still foreign flavor of alcohol. "Well... I was hoping we wouldn't have to brandish our weapons and that we could manage to talk them down without a fight... but I guess not...." Annienal mumbled. "You really would've let that thing go without teaching it a lesson? What happens to the next ten people he attacks without heroes to defend them??" questioned Miderun, shaking her head. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 "Prepare everyone, The wind blows foul." The wind also blows swiftly. While some of the Heroes debated the finer points of diplomacy, and others prepared for battle, they missed the sounds of hoofs kicking gravel and sand down the canyon road. Five outlaws suddenly galloped down the road onto the canyon shelf! At their head was a man in a white suit, with a white hat on his head. His long brown hair and his hat shaded his face, so that the Heroes were unable to see what it looked like. What would the Heroes do? Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Warlen shrugs amiably and replaces the robes. As the horses canter up, Warlen becomes thirsty, drinking 2 potions and a hurricane, mixed together. Licking his lips, and swearing like a pig, he tears off his gloves and grabs a Ten-Gallon-Hat out of the bag. Ooc-Warlen drinks 2 potions and a Hurricane, and swaps his equipment for tthe Vampire robes and a 10 gallon hat. Quote
Asphalt Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Vindsval turns from his companions to face the Horsemen. He hold up one hand in a combination greeting/halting motion. "Greetings strangers. Welcome to the Gulch. May I ask your business with this fair town?" Vindsval greets the group with an air of irony, he believes he knows who these men are, there can be little doubt that their leader is the self styled bandit king Cole. But even then he will not meet strangers with full hostility, even in this place." Quote
Kintobor Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Annienal looks around for the horses the previous two men rode in on. Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Quickly evaluating the situation, Warlen pulls out his Scroll of Antimagic and proceeds to cast in on everybody, before quaffing a tonic and devouring his dragon scale. Then he hands Vindsval 2 tonics. "If I get low on ether, my buddy, use these on me. I'll need them." Ooc-The amount of ether will vary wildly, but if you'd rather make it a bit simpler the total is 8 ether. (2 tries+1+2+1+2) Also, my stats (not counting my scroll casting) will now be *Encouraged, Lucky, Drunk, and Immune to Magic*. Health-Max. Ether-Needs to be edited after the scroll. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Annienal looks around for the horses the previous two men rode in on. The horses seemed to have wandered off somewhere, or something to that effect, as she doesn't see them anywhere. "Greetings strangers. Welcome to the Gulch. May I ask your business with this fair town?" Vindsval greets the group with an air of irony, he believes he knows who these men are, there can be little doubt that their leader is the self styled bandit king Cole. But even then he will not meet strangers with full hostility, even in this place. The figure spoke softly, but with a very hard voice. "Throm-ka. I believe you know my business. My business is gold. The real question to be asked, is what is your business. Are you the welcoming party I requested? Are you some pitiful group of shop-keepers, trying to continue snatching for yourselves a share of the treasures of an forgotten age? Or are you some other group of no-ones, standing in my way for some reason - or for no real reason at all." Edited April 23, 2015 by Lind Whisperer Quote
Asphalt Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Vindsval takes the tonics from the mage and motions him to stand back behind him, then he answers the lead horseman in a tone slow and deep, his voice taking on the tone of a shaking mountain during an earthquake. "We are those who meet you, who meet you right here and now. We are those who call you to lay down your arms and leave these townsfolk in peace. For if you leave them in peace, we shall you leave you in kind. Though, somehow I do not believe that that is your path, is it stranger?" Edited April 23, 2015 by Asphalt Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Stepping behind him, Warlen marvels at his voice as he reads us for combat. Quote

Edited April 24, 2015 by Lind Whisperer Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 "Gold, eh? I prefer silk, although that's just me. It's softer than gold, too!" Ooc-Remember, I'm a tourist! Quote
Asphalt Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) "Obtaining wealth through glory and deeds worthy of song is indeed a noble endeavor, Obtaining it through the extortion and enslavement of the week or feeble is a Path better not walked. For it leaves one a man worthy of Ridicule and disdain. A walker in darkness. Which are you stranger?" Edited April 24, 2015 by Asphalt Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 "Chocolate is also nice! If you get hungry, there's always a snack available!" Quote

For it leaves one a man worthy of Ridicule and disdain. A walker in darkness. Which are you stranger?" "I am a man of reclamation. Are you one whom I must ride over to complete my reclamation, or are you one that is wise enough to leap aside?" "Chocolate is also nice! If you get hungry, there's always a snack available!" The figure turned their head, and looked with disdain at the babbling mage. "Is he your village idiot?" Quote
Asphalt Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Vindsval Glares at Warlen. "By the Gods, cease your blathering, before one of those before chooses to cease it for you." He turns his eyes back to the shadowed figure, still looking down at the man slightly even though he is astride a tall horse. "The choice of a man's path lies within the man himself. If you choose to attempt to ride through mine however, you will find it one of staunch resistance to those who would prey on those whom I have chosen to protect." Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Vindsval Glares at Warlen. "By the Gods, cease your blathering, before one of those before chooses to cease it for you." "I could have my healer attempt to cast some sort of silencing spell on him, if we unilaterally agreed that it would benefit the conversation...." "The choice of a man's path lies within the man himself. If you choose to attempt to ride through mine however, you will find it one of staunch resistance to those who would prey on those whom I have chosen to protect." "Then it appears that unless your companions are of a different mind, our course is set - the desert wind, against a desert rock. The only question remaining unanswered is whether the wind will be broken upon the rock, or the rock will be worn down by the wind." QM Note: If anyone has any final gear changes they'd like to make, consumables to consume, etc., this would be the time. Unless anyone has anything they'd like to say, I'll post the battle sometime later today. Edited April 24, 2015 by Lind Whisperer Quote
CMP Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 The only question remaining unanswered is whether the wind will be broken upon the rock, or the rock will be worn down by the wind." "I think we're okay with breaking your head upon a rock. You talk awful smartly for a coward and a thief, givsar." Miderun crossed her arms and glared at the man's concealed face. Quote
