Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: POSTED! And Dang it's long
Round 1:
They had finally found their quarry. After what had originally supposed to have been a simple cavern raid and rescue turned out to be a dive into some expansive complex rumored to be a temple to some long forgotten figure, the battered and bruised companions finally had at least part of their goal in sight; and what an ugly -not to mention massive- sight it was. The plans were set, their strategies made, the ogre would have to fall, the woman rescued. And so, battle was joined once more.
Xaris, a fire burning inside his little frame, was the first to act. Powerful legs sent his short form forward in a charge, straight towards the crude barricade and the orcs that lay beyond. With his shoulder leading the charge, Xaris plunges into a barrel, which thankfully turns out to be empty, and shatters under his great effort, sending the orc behind it sprawling, and fending off a gnomish fury atop it. Armed with only crossbows at the moment for defense, the orc can do nothing to retaliate without the risk of leaving itself vulnerable. Putting up a feeble attempt of a block with it’s crossbow, the orc is hard pressed as Xaris plunges his gnomish great sword through the arc of the crossbow and the frame, his cross guard hitting the wood stock, the only thing preventing him from skewering the orc clear through. The orc lets out a hiss of anger and pain as a great pool of blood puddles and runs from its now almost still body. (-14hp/Unconcious)
With the opening in the barricade made by Xaris in sight, Artanis quickly followed her smaller companion in a similar fashion, charging the barricade, using Xaris’ opening as a means to reach another orc with a little more ease. Reaching an Orc with ease, her bastard sword gleamed in the torchlight as it sliced neatly into orcish flesh. The orc hardly made a sound as it simply dropped it’s crossbow and prepared to succumb to death by the blade. (-10hp/Unconcious)
Loriel was hoping to end the battle with swift death to the Ogre. To bring down the leader would send the orcs scattering she surmised. With but her heartbeats as her metronome of death, she loosed two arrows. The first one was sent flying directly towards the ogres heart. The arrow was true and penetrated his thick hide armor, but the hide had slowed what might have been a kill shot just enough that the arrow barely pierced his thick skin. (Critical hit! 1’s for damage L ) (-3hp) The second arrow was true also, striking the ogre in the arm, bringing a low chuckle from the arrogant giant. (-4hp)
Linnix, her cornucopia of emotions formed into a single determination stepped up to the doorway, setting her sights on the orc nearest the left hand side of the room, where the woman lay unmoving, her eyes barely visible beneath folds of haversack. With a calmness about her, though surely the lump in her throat threatened to jump free, Linnix fired, her small hand crossbow’s bolt nicked the orc’s shoulder, drawing its attention. (-2hp)
Kasenarrion stepped into the room next, the ogre her target. She recanted the words for her Flare spell, sending the bright flash of light before the Ogre’s eyes. The Ogre swatted at the annoyance, his retinas afire with the over stimulation. (Dazzled 10 rounds)
The Ogre, more than a little annoyed at the pesky spell Kasenarrion managed to cast upon him, set about doing what Ogres do best. Smashing things. The Ogre approached Xaris, the closest to him at the time, and with a mighty swing tried to cleave the gnome half. But a gnome, certainly a forest gnome would not be caught dead at the hands of a giant kin. What kind of reputation would that leave for him? What would people say at his funeral?
Xaris quickly rolled to the side off the orc he had impaled, reveling in the crunch of bones and sinew of the Orc who suffered the Ogres mighty axe. Infuriated the Ogre cursed out loud. “I will feast on gnome flesh tonight!”
At the outcry of the Ogre, the two orcs who still had their wits, crossbows and their lives about them took up their weapons in an attempt to fight back. Moving back from the deadly melees of Artanis and Xaris, they took aim at the two warriors, hoping to earn favor from their master.
The bolt destined for Xaris went exceedingly wide, clattering off the far stone wall and disappearing down the nearby pit. The one for Artanis, once more bounced off her shield, causing it to crackle anew, a third quartz now filled with swirling blue energy.
Aelistae, the last to react, now with a free doorway from which to fire from, took to her bow-twanging. With a command to bring down the orcs, she let loose her first arrow of the battle, which sailed harmlessly past her intended target, skittering across the floor.
Round 2:
Linnix was the first to act this time round, and with her freshly reloaded crossbow she fired once more at the far left Orc she had injured earlier. This bolt however glanced off the makeshift leathers he wore, and left the woman scouring at her miss.
Kasenarrion, Tyr’s divine influence surging through her veins. Her target was set as she let out a battle cry.
For Tyr, for Righteousness, for Retribution, and for Justice! ” Her voice filled the room and echoed off the stone walls. Raising her newly acquired spear, she moved to strike the Ogre, still dazzled by her spell. Kas stepped over the broken barricade and thrust her spear at the Ogre the glowing tip of the spear growing in brightness as it pierced the Ogre’s thick hide with ease. As it struck however, Kasenarrion could feel her own strength dwindle, as though it were leeched from her body and into the spear, guiding it further into the Ogre’s side. (-2 Kas 25/31) (-9 Ogre)
Aelistae, apparently more motivated this time round as next to act, notching another arrow and sending it at the Orc previously wounded by Linnix. This time however, her aim was perfection personified, as her arrow took the Orc square between the eyes, lifting it from it’s feet and carrying it a few feet backwards, dead even before it hit the wall and crumpled nearby the covered woman who shrieked. (Critical hit! -27 damage/DEAD)
Artanis was good to go as well. Moving from her felled foe to the last remaining orc, The orc fired at her in desperation as she closed the distance, this one bypassing her sturdy shield and glancing her shoulder. (-3 Artanis 26/43) Artanis however would not be swayed from her target, and with another swipe of her deadly blade, sent the orc to its doom on the cold stone floor.
The Ogre was tired of the invaders disturbing his domain, and swung a devastating swing of his axe towards Kasenarrion. The Axe, --what was it with Axes???-- bit deep into Kas’ already wounded side, swatting her away like a fly. (-16 Kas 9/31) Kas forced herself to stand, using the spear for support.
Xaris, not about to let the grievous wound of his companion go unpunished, darted in under the Ogre’s axe swing and proved once more what an incredible super gnome he truly was. His short sword, though lacking in reach, was as sharp as any, and cut easily into the Ogre’s leg, just below the knee. The Ogre howled in anger as Xaris’ blade sunk deep into his skin, biting into and through the bone, severing it from its other, heavier half as it was supporting some 800 lbs of Ogre. (Another Critical Hit with Max Damage! -28 Ogre)
Loriel moved into the doorway once more, Moonshadow still barking at her side. She leveled her sights on the fallen Ogre, and let two more arrows fly into the massive beast even as he began to rise to a sit up. Both arrows slammed into his chest, but his armor once more halted most of the destructive force of them. (-2 Ogre)
From the Corner, where the woman in haversack had been slumped, the rucksack was tossed aside as she stood, revealing a perfectly healthy woman dressed in black and green robes, baring a short bone wand. With a sneer she cackled. “While I commend you on your sense of morality and justice. I pity you fools, for while my master moves his plan one step further to completion, you will not live to see the light of day!” With that she let loose her wand’s command word, and it shot forth a bolt of searing lightning shot forth crackling on an angle that would put both Xaris and Artanis as well as the fallen Ogre in its path. Xaris, his sword still burdened by the weight of the Ogre’s leg could not move in time, and took the full brunt of the spell, while Artanis could only put her shield up in hopes of protecting her as it had so many times before already. The Lightning Bolt spell tore through the Ogre and Xaris, before hitting Artanis’ shield. Which crackled in response against the electrical force. Though it seemed to protected Artanis somewhat, the shield was energized something fierce, as 7 of the 8 quartzes were now crackling with energy, and the shield audibly hummed and shook in her hands while Artanis tried to shake off the force which almost laid her low. (-20 Ogre, -20 Xaris 31/60, -15 Artanis 11/43)
The Ogre, twitched from the lightning which coursed through it’s body, it’s skin charred and its back turned into the equivalent of cracklings before it slumped over very dead.
Cackling in maniacal glee, the woman dropped the wand in her hand and drew out another identical one. Even as the first his the floor, it disintegrated, its energies spent.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Posted!
The door swings open with unexpected ease, for the newer hinges are oiled and well kept. The door opens and the inside is revealed. The room is a good forty feet square, the stone walls are covered with black tabards and flags bearing the crescent moon and bloody eye upon them.
There in the room are 4 5x5 foot pits in the four corners of the room, with braziers hanging above them, blue flames burning brightly within. In the middle of the room is a low 3 foot barricade made of barrels and boxes, behind which are four orcs, each with crossbows at the ready. As soon as Artanis throws the door open, all four let their first volley of bolts fly.
Artanis is caught agape as the bolts hurry towards her, raising her new shield in reflexive response. The small bolts bounce harmlessly off the doorway, stone walls, and two hit her shield, which crackles unexpectedly in response. Sparing a glance to the shield, two of the quartz stones embedded in the shield are now crackling with a blue energy.
Behind the orcs, stands a massive Ogre, easily 14ft tall, with earth hued skin and donning a robe of tiger striped fur. His massive tusks rise above his upper lip, and are topped with rings of silver and gold. “Welcome, to my lair strangers where you shall enjoy my hospitality much like she has.” With a wave of a massive hand wielding an even larger two headed axe, the Ogre gestures towards the crumpled form of a woman chained to the wall behind him, near the far back left pit. She is covered in loose haversacks and doesn’t move aside from the rise and fall of her whimpered breathing.
It should be noted there is no sign of the child that should be here. Behind the ogre, against the far back middle wall is a massive throne of cherry wood and gold inlay. Torches provide ample lighting in this room, as does a massive 5’ round variant of the candle orb affixed to the ceiling.
As the Ogre laughs, the orc’s begin a low chanting as they reload their bolts. “Trask, Trask, Trask Trask…”

Topic: Pool of Radiance
Subject: choices and dinner ettiquette
It had truly been some time since the pair of Mourn Eveningfall and Aramil Starsong had enjoyed a decent meal. The hard tack and dried rations they had primarily been living of off while traveling were nutritious enough to sustain them, but lacked any form of oh what was the word... oh yes; taste.
Now that they were here, in the quaint and aptly named ‘Tavern, the food placed before the companions seemed heavenly. Though it was simple fare, to the dried neglected palettes of the hungry travelers, it was a meal fit for a king.
As Aramil and Mourn sampled the fare, Aramil couldn’t help but smirk as Brendalla jumped up to claim her supper; their diminutive friend was always entertaining to the elves.
As the druid asked about their plans regarding the missing children, Mourn nodded quietly as he took a bite of his corn, plucking it from the cob with cutlery. Aramil looked at Mourn and giggled. “So prim and proper, it’s corn not some scroll you need to tenderly examine. Dig in!”
Mourn shook his head and placed his tools of eating down aside his plate. “A-hem, As for the children, yes, we should look into the matter at least, we are here after all. Hopefully someone here will be kind enough to give us more details as to where the kids might be.” With that Mourn set back to eating in his explorative fashion, slowly picking the kernels away from the cob, and enjoying each bite in silent admiration.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: found it
Spear and shield in hand, the group of seven was anxious to be moving on. Two more doors awaited them down the hallway, and as they neared the next door, they could see the end of the corridor was filled in by a pile of rubble, as though the ceiling had collapsed some time before. Falling back into the previous marching order, they approached the first door on the left. It was a solid looking wooden door with iron bands supporting it. It should be noted that the iron bands here don’t seem nearly as old as the original complex.
Placing their ears to the door the companions whisper amongst themselves. They discussed the possible hearing of footsteps on the other side, along with a heavy breathing, and the rattling of chains. Moonshadow however was not so subtle, and growled low and deep as a familiar scent caught in his nostrils. He began pawing at the door, and barked loudly at having located the scent he was asked to track. Falling back into the marching order Moonshadow sat there wagging its tail thinking it had done a good deed, but its maw was still ready for anything to come.
At Moonshadow’s bark came the sound of a woman’s wail, and in response a heavy ‘smack’ which resulted in a gasp of pain, and then silence.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: Since it's come up.
Here's how I'd 'like' to do party treasure.
Each member of the team is entitled to a 'share' of the treasure obviously. Each item found of value, needs to be given a cash vaue once appraised, and those who want to claim said items (this is particularly meant for magical items and such) half that item's value should come out of that member's share. (Why pay what it would cost to purchase it when it's found? gotta save some money somehow right?)
For example.
4 adventurers finish slaying an ogre, and in the back of the cave find a treasure chest containing 2,000gp and a +1 longsword (which we know to be worth 2,000gp in it's own right accordng to the DMG)
Originally, the four members would each gain 500 GP. (2000 / 4) however, since bob wants the longsword, (worth 1,000 to him) he gives up his 500 gp share to the other three, (giving them 666 gp each with some change left over) He must also cough up the remaining 500 gold from his own purse, or future treasure (like a running tab) in order for that +1 sword to be officially 'his'.
~~~~~
The party swapping items and using them for the graeter good of the party is a wonderful thing, but when players eventually start wanting to claim items specifically for themselves, (which is expected) I think this is the fairest way to go about it.
If more than one person wants the item, it goes to auction. with the player willing to put the most into the pot (thus benefitting everyone else) winning the item.
Thoughts?

Subject: Two handed effort..
Realizing once more it will take two hands, Loriel sets the shield down, and yanks on the spear. It grinds a little against the stone hands wielding it, but comes free after a second tug. Everyone is on edge that the room will somehow retaliate against the thievery, but are surpised to find nothing so much as whispers to hint of foul play.
The spear is warm to the touch, and the gemstones sparkle in the light of the spear tip. The gemstones are red, similar to... or perhaps actually garnet.

Subject: Spear
Fastening the rope around the spear haft, Loriel steps back and tries to yank the spear out of the horseman's hand. However the angle of the spear, sitting i his 'O' grip on the spear won't allow the spear to be pulled out. One would have to pull it forward on an angle equal to the incline of the spear to release it.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: There.
Personal wealth has been added. Each time a leg of an adventure, encounter or otherwise is completed. and you are once more reunited with Bart I will automatically split all money found and add it to the personal wealth of everyone, leaving the 'party wealth currency section' as Bart's share. (remember he's already stated he'll risk everything for this mission, so his share will be spent on party supplies and lodgings)
For now though, items picked up will stay on personal character sheets. such as Linnix's items, Aelistae's backpack and armor, and Hopefully Artanis' gold when she posts..)
(Again, once reunited a simple post or q/a mention of putting stuff in party treasure will let me divvy it up.. )
(If linnix for example, decides she wants to keep the money found on the dead soldier, then just don't mention putting it in party treasure and there it will stay nice and safe on your character. We're all experienced rp'ers enough to know characters act differently and not hold it against them personally especially when one doesn't know about it in game.)

Subject: Shield:
The shield is mounted snuggly in the stone centaur's grip. Realizing she cannot remove it with one hand, Loriel sheathe's her longsword and uses both hands to try and pry the shield free.
With a little finesse she manages to slip the shield from the stone hand holding it. The centaur remains in silent vigilance, his hands now held over his head in a deperate attempt to block the oncoming spear of the horse headed man.
Standing there, giving the shield a look over, the shield is incredibly light, and the central 8/10ths of the shield is a mirrors finish. Small pieces of quartz are surrounding the central shield. 8 in total. On the back of the shield is an inscription, also in a language none seems to understand.

Loriel, bow at the ready, cautiously walks into the room skirting the sides. She approaches the statue on the right side with the centaur. She is now in front of the statue, nothing sees amiss.
