Kilpquabjeg spent the first few centuries of her elan existence in contemplation of the miraculous transformation she had underwent. After decades of deep consideration, she has now decided to develop her psionic abilities like many of her brethren in order to better experience the full range of elan existence. What better way to put those abilities to the ultimate test in relative safety than by participating in the famous Gladius arena?

03-29-07, 12:31 PM I made a post in the PSI guild thread that replies to your character's introduction in the guildhall. You can reply IC here or their. Whichever you prefer.
hogarth
03-29-07, 12:59 PM Cont'd from the PSI Consortium thread
Kilpquabjeg mounts her faithful horse Brunellus and the pair (along with Vug-Vang the psicrystal) make their way to the park. Kilp is absorbed in thought, considering the possible strategies to use against the dragonet.

When she arrives at the verge of the park, she hails one of the battered rangers.

"Sir -- the Lyceum wishes to capture a rogue wyvern for educational purposes and they have sent me here to do so. Do you know in which direction the beast lies?"
SauroGrenom
03-29-07, 02:07 PM An elven Ranger greets you and answers your questions.

We are making plans now to slay the beast this evening. It's appetites are too large for the park to support, and it's too violent to be relocated. Also it's begun to attack horses. We've lost two of our own. If it feeds on domesticated animals then it's a danger to our citizens. Your help would be appreciated.

He leads you to the center of the park where a large open field lies to the side of a low waterfall.

Her lair is a small cave behind the waterfall. But she's been attacking anything in the open in the field. I have archers positioned around the perimeter. You go in, and we'll stay nearby.
hogarth
03-29-07, 02:26 PM "If this creature can contribute to the betterment of others, it is a far more worthy fate than death.

If I perish in my attempt to capture it, please try to rescue my remains from the cave. I do not relish the possibility of ending up as wyvern guano in case the beast decides to move on to other climes." Kilp's deadpan delivery and impassive face make it unclear whether she is joking or not.

Prior to approaching the cave, she tosses a figurine to the ground and utters a magic phrase. The trinket metamorphoses into a magnificent griffon.

Kilp addresses the leonine creature and her psicrystal. "Magical servant -- lead the way towards the cave. Vug-Vang -- order Brunellus to follow you, and I will take the last place in line."

The motley procession enters with Kilpquabjeg trailing behind, holding a scroll of Invisibility in her hand in case of emergency.
SauroGrenom
03-29-07, 03:39 PM I'm sure she'll be comming out as soon as you move into the open field. The cave is quite small. I wouldn't go in their.
SauroGrenom
03-29-07, 03:45 PM The griffon pops into being and flies forward. There is immediately a roar from within the cave as the wyvern bursts forward defending its territory. The two beasts close toward one another across the distance.

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=plains;a=Wyve,L,66,75,5 3,57;b=Grif,L,39,44;c=Kilp,L,31,39

Wyvern wins initiative. Then you, and the griffon follows last.
hogarth
03-29-07, 03:52 PM "Attack it!" Kilp shouts. The griffon rushes forward, charging into the fray and slashing at the wyvern with its claws and beak. The psion jumps on her horse and moves towards the fray, hoping to get within range where she can unleash mental blasts at the draconic menace.

Griffon charges and pounces (I think the wyvern is within 32 squares, isn't it?). Kilp mounts her horse (with Vug-Vang) and tries to maneuver within 150 feet of the wyvern (but not within 120 feet where it can charge).
SauroGrenom
03-29-07, 04:48 PM The griffon charges the dragon like creature and bites and tears with its claws (19hp).

Since Kilpquabjeg is already at the necessary range, she simply mounts (you've got an extra standard action left)

hogarth
03-29-07, 04:58 PM Kilp concentrates and sends a streams of thoughtwaves at the wyvern, attacking its sense of self.

...you are worthless...insignificant...you should just curl up and die...surrender before it's too late...

Ego Whip
SauroGrenom
03-29-07, 05:46 PM The creature whimpers and rocks back on its heels as you assail its ego and its dazed (3pts).

The griffon continues to press his advantage and delivers a viscious bite and claw attack (17hp).

You focus your mind for another mental assault, and the beast's ego continues to erode (1pt).

Your griffon is unrelenting and attacks the dazed wyvern hitting with a bite (7hp).

You erode it's ego further, and suddenly the creature drops unconscious...
SauroGrenom
03-29-07, 05:48 PM The griffon stands over the fallen creature for a moment, and you ride up to examine the creature. It is wounded, but still breathing. A trail of thick drool falls from it's mindless jaws.

The Rangers raise a shout of joy and admiration. They rush from the locations of cover that surround the field, and slap you on the back crying out exclamations and praising your magical prowess.

They help you to bind the creature and load it onto a cart drawn by oxen.
hogarth
03-29-07, 06:47 PM "Thank you for the assistance." Kilp bows, then returns to her inner world of reflection. Truly the creature's fragile sense of self was behind both its wild rampage and its inevitable downfall. Now the psions back at the Lyceum could peel the layers of its mind apart like an onion and derive insights therefrom.

SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 12:31 PM	I made a post in the PSI guild thread that replies to your character's introduction in the guildhall. You can reply IC here or their. Whichever you prefer.
hogarth 03-29-07, 12:59 PM	Cont'd from the PSI Consortium thread Kilpquabjeg mounts her faithful horse Brunellus and the pair (along with Vug-Vang the psicrystal) make their way to the park. Kilp is absorbed in thought, considering the possible strategies to use against the dragonet. When she arrives at the verge of the park, she hails one of the battered rangers. "Sir -- the Lyceum wishes to capture a rogue wyvern for educational purposes and they have sent me here to do so. Do you know in which direction the beast lies?"
SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 02:07 PM	An elven Ranger greets you and answers your questions. We are making plans now to slay the beast this evening. It's appetites are too large for the park to support, and it's too violent to be relocated. Also it's begun to attack horses. We've lost two of our own. If it feeds on domesticated animals then it's a danger to our citizens. Your help would be appreciated. He leads you to the center of the park where a large open field lies to the side of a low waterfall. Her lair is a small cave behind the waterfall. But she's been attacking anything in the open in the field. I have archers positioned around the perimeter. You go in, and we'll stay nearby.
hogarth 03-29-07, 02:26 PM	"If this creature can contribute to the betterment of others, it is a far more worthy fate than death. If I perish in my attempt to capture it, please try to rescue my remains from the cave. I do not relish the possibility of ending up as wyvern guano in case the beast decides to move on to other climes." Kilp's deadpan delivery and impassive face make it unclear whether she is joking or not. Prior to approaching the cave, she tosses a figurine to the ground and utters a magic phrase. The trinket metamorphoses into a magnificent griffon. Kilp addresses the leonine creature and her psicrystal. "Magical servant -- lead the way towards the cave. Vug-Vang -- order Brunellus to follow you, and I will take the last place in line." The motley procession enters with Kilpquabjeg trailing behind, holding a scroll of Invisibility in her hand in case of emergency.
SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 03:39 PM	I'm sure she'll be comming out as soon as you move into the open field. The cave is quite small. I wouldn't go in their.
SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 03:45 PM	The griffon pops into being and flies forward. There is immediately a roar from within the cave as the wyvern bursts forward defending its territory. The two beasts close toward one another across the distance. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=plains;a=Wyve,L,66,75,5 3,57;b=Grif,L,39,44;c=Kilp,L,31,39 Wyvern wins initiative. Then you, and the griffon follows last.
hogarth 03-29-07, 03:52 PM	"Attack it!" Kilp shouts. The griffon rushes forward, charging into the fray and slashing at the wyvern with its claws and beak. The psion jumps on her horse and moves towards the fray, hoping to get within range where she can unleash mental blasts at the draconic menace. Griffon charges and pounces (I think the wyvern is within 32 squares, isn't it?). Kilp mounts her horse (with Vug-Vang) and tries to maneuver within 150 feet of the wyvern (but not within 120 feet where it can charge).
SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 04:48 PM	The griffon charges the dragon like creature and bites and tears with its claws (19hp). Since Kilpquabjeg is already at the necessary range, she simply mounts (you've got an extra standard action left) http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=plains;a=Wyve,L,53,57;b =Grif,L,39,44,51,56;c=Kilp,L,31,39
hogarth 03-29-07, 04:58 PM	Kilp concentrates and sends a streams of thoughtwaves at the wyvern, attacking its sense of self. ...you are worthless...insignificant...you should just curl up and die...surrender before it's too late... Ego Whip
SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 05:46 PM	The creature whimpers and rocks back on its heels as you assail its ego and its dazed (3pts). The griffon continues to press his advantage and delivers a viscious bite and claw attack (17hp). You focus your mind for another mental assault, and the beast's ego continues to erode (1pt). Your griffon is unrelenting and attacks the dazed wyvern hitting with a bite (7hp). You erode it's ego further, and suddenly the creature drops unconscious...
SauroGrenom 03-29-07, 05:48 PM	The griffon stands over the fallen creature for a moment, and you ride up to examine the creature. It is wounded, but still breathing. A trail of thick drool falls from it's mindless jaws. The Rangers raise a shout of joy and admiration. They rush from the locations of cover that surround the field, and slap you on the back crying out exclamations and praising your magical prowess. They help you to bind the creature and load it onto a cart drawn by oxen.
hogarth 03-29-07, 06:47 PM	"Thank you for the assistance." Kilp bows, then returns to her inner world of reflection. Truly the creature's fragile sense of self was behind both its wild rampage and its inevitable downfall. Now the psions back at the Lyceum could peel the layers of its mind apart like an onion and derive insights therefrom.
