TelinArtho 01-27-06, 01:16 AM	[Introduction] 'Tis a fine piece of land - though since the local population left, it has become a bit overrun with an unpleasant element. If you clear it out - I'm sure you'd be able to do what you want. The dwarven tradesman pointed on a map the location of the former-wayside inn. It was located about 10 miles southeast of Gladius along a popular traderoute. It abutted a small river that supplied it enough water to operate some years ago - but then it was waylaid by thieves and looters and has since fallen to disrepair.
Luni 01-28-06, 01:15 PM	Expericing Deja Vu "IF the land is good, everything should do well. Unsavory elements aren't welcome, but hopefully my cooking will get rid of them." Shakari will then mount Fireflame and move out.
TelinArtho 01-29-06, 02:50 PM	Deja vu indeed The trade-road to the inn is well populated and wide. Along the way, Shakari happily engages in conversation with a few of the travellers to pass the time. While engaged in one of these conversations with a traveller by the name of Morten - a tradesman who specializes in fine silks and other textiles - Shakari notices something a little odd. Overhead, a pair of birds seem to be circling - not unlike a hawk assessing the situation before striking. However, although distance is difficult to discern in the sky - this particular pair seems rather large for a hawk.
Luni 01-29-06, 05:32 PM	Shakari will draw her bow, and keep an eye on the pair of hawks. She'll continue moving down the road.
TelinArtho 01-30-06, 11:32 AM	Shakari watches the hawks warily while she and the trader continue along. Both at once, too quickly to be a coincidence, the hawks duck behind the line of the trees. At the last moment before losing sight of them, Shakari could swear they seemed to be descending quickly. [Initiative (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=350653)] Shakari 9 Big Hawk 17 Small Hawk 7 Suddenly, Shakari catches sight of one of the hawks dropping through the treeline, about 40ft away (and 15ft from the ground). It seems about the double the size of an eagle, but what it does next is like no bird she's ever seen before. A Bolt of Electricity streaks out and strikes the tradesman full in the chest - blowing him to the ground - instantly dead (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=350654). Well, at least you don't have to worry about the "innocent." Shakari doesn't have sight to the smaller hawk.
Luni 01-31-06, 11:56 AM	Shoot the large one with my bow while spurring my horse and double moving away.
TelinArtho 01-31-06, 12:14 PM	Shakari spurs her Fireflame forward while shooting at the hawk. The arrow flies far wide (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=351916) despite her normal pinpoint precision. I assume Zyazz is left in the dust again... As she is moving, she can see the smaller hawk diving downwards, gaining great speed. Pausing overhead at about 30ft away, it lets loose an energy ray at Fireflame, and despite Shakari's great instincts, the ray strikes (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=351922) Fireflame (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=351923). The larger hawk ascends above the trees and streaks towards Fireflame again, but stops again directly above them at about 50ft. Current Status: Shakari 36/36 --Zyazz 37/37 --Fireflame 15/22 (spurred) Large Hawk xx/xx (flying 50ft above - ran) Small Hawk xx/xx (flying 30ft above)
Luni 01-31-06, 02:09 PM	Ok. Shakari will double move and shoot, keeping her distance. Zyazz always falls behind. He usually is a big bluff and extra target. :)
TelinArtho 01-31-06, 02:50 PM	Shakari fires another arrow and this time it pierces (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=352127) the wing of the strange hawk. The smaller hawk dives (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=352130) into Shakari. The larger hawk moves at great speed and ends his movement directly overhead. Current Status: Shakari 29/36 --Zyazz 37/37 --Fireflame 15/22 Large Hawk xx-10/xx (flying directly above) Small Hawk xx/xx (flying directly above and 5ft back) Zyazz is now a blip...
Luni 02-01-06, 12:58 AM	Shakari fires another arrow and this time it pierces (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=352127) the wing of the strange hawk. The smaller hawk dives (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=352130) into Shakari. The larger hawk moves at great speed and ends his movement directly overhead. Current Status: Shakari 29/36 --Zyazz 37/37 --Fireflame 15/22 Large Hawk xx-10/xx (flying directly above) Small Hawk xx/xx (flying directly above and 5ft back) Zyazz is now a blip... Hmm. Run (x4) and shoot. I don't think they can keep up to me at all. Slow down if they get too far, but I'm willing to lose a few arrows.
TelinArtho 02-01-06, 09:40 AM	You'll provoke 2 AoO from this movement. (Just making sure I was clear on their locations).
Luni 02-01-06, 12:54 PM	I'll take it. Just use ride for cover.
TelinArtho 02-02-06, 12:46 AM	Shakari pushed Fireflame away from the strange airy birds, dodging the smaller one's beak, but unable to avoid the other - which tears a gash in her arm. As she moves away, she shoots an arrow (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353378) at the larger of the two, but it seems to have missed it. The good news is - you managed to outrun them fairly easily. The bad news is - they still have a tasty crocodile to go electrify... The birds, seeing their target fly away, turn away for smaller - more delectable prey behind.
Luni 02-02-06, 02:18 PM	Turn around move back, try to kep 130' away and keep on shooting.
TelinArtho 02-02-06, 02:56 PM	As Shakari realizes that Zyazz has once again been left to the predators - she hears the zapping of the strange birds' energy (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353717) rays (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353719) striking again. Zyazz, unable to do anything against them, simply roars out challenges and tries to find cover (and failing). Shakari reels Fireflame about and moves back to the encounter, firing an arrow (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353721) at the larger of the two birds. The arrow flies harmlessly over the bird though. The birds once again zap Zyazz, and he looks quite the worse for wear (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353723). He again tries to find a suitable hiding spot. Current Status: Shakari 29/36 (200ft from larger of the two) --Zyazz 14/37 --Fireflame 15/22 Large Hawk xx-10/xx (flying directly above Zyazz and 10ft up) Small Hawk xx/xx (flying 20ft above and 10ft back from Zyazz)
Luni 02-02-06, 03:14 PM	Just keep on shooting. Poor, Zyazz. He will be remembered.
TelinArtho 02-02-06, 04:33 PM	Shakari fires another arrow (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353779) from her current location - but she misses her target. The two birds continue shooting their strange energy rays (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353780) - scorching Zyazz's hide some more. Shakari fires again, but the arrow (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353784) is once again off target. The two birds continue shocking (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353785) Zyazz. Shakari fires once more and finally connects (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353792) - causing the strange bird to howl like the wind. Two more energy rays are fired (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353799) and the triumphant cry from the hawks signal the defeat of the faithful crocodile. The two hawks move closer while gaining altitude. 160ft away and 40ft up each - 10ft apart Current Status: Shakari 29/36 (160ft horizontal, 40ft vertical from both birds) --Zyazz -2/37 (bleeding) --Fireflame 15/22 Large Hawk xx-20/xx Small Hawk xx/xx
Luni 02-02-06, 10:18 PM	OK. Shoot again, back up 60'. Then go back to triple moving away to keep distance or until something interesting happens.
TelinArtho 02-03-06, 12:48 PM	Shakari fires once more and pierces (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354632) the larger bird once more before moving away again. The two hawks screech and speed forward - stopping 20ft behind and 40ft above Shakari. Current Status: Shakari 29/36 --Zyazz -2/37 (bleeding) (status unknown) --Fireflame 15/22 Large Hawk xx-29/xx (ran) Small Hawk xx/xx (ran) Shakari spurs Fireflame to moving away again, firing (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354636) along the way, but the arrow is far off target. (Triple move is 180ft, so 90ft from your current position is your shot - -2, plus another -4 for the firing while mount is running) The two hawks dive again towards Shakari, charging (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354638) her. The smaller's impact is severe and hits first - but Shakari truly winces as the second comes in and rips (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=354641) through part of her shoulder. Current Status: Shakari 12/36 --Zyazz -2/37 (bleeding) (status unknown) --Fireflame 15/22 Large Hawk xx-29/xx (charged) Small Hawk xx/xx (charged)
Luni 02-03-06, 01:10 PM	How do they charge 180+ ft? That has to be more than double.
Luni 02-04-06, 06:13 PM	Shakari will drop her bow, draw her quarterstaff and swing!
TelinArtho 02-05-06, 10:25 PM	Shakari takes out her quarterstaff and swings it at the larger of the two birds, dropping (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=356519) the strange bird. She breathes a sigh of relief at the dropping of one of her opponents. The smaller bird takes a bite (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=356522) at Shakari, but it misses as Shakari drops to the side of Fireflame. It then adjusts upwards to be out of Shakari's reach. Shakari swears she sees an intelligence in this bird that no animal should ever possess, and its mastery over the air and flying is a powerful ally to it. Diving charge at double speed - 60ft fly speed, x2 = 120ft per move. 180ft is easy to make.
Luni 02-05-06, 11:11 PM	Retrieve bow, drop quarterstaff and shoot! When it dives again, order Fireflame to attack, draw lance one handed, (bow in other hand) and have Fireflame take a 5' step after attacking to swing!
TelinArtho 02-07-06, 02:52 PM	Shakari quickly recovers her bow and fires it off at the bird, unfortunately her aim (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358461) was off and the arrow sailed away. The bird shot down another ray of energy at Shakari - burning (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358482) her once more. Current Status: Shakari 6/36 --Zyazz -2/37 (bleeding) (status unknown) --Fireflame 15/22 Small Hawk xx/xx I keep wanting to run a few rounds, but the rolls just won't let me :(
Luni 02-07-06, 03:28 PM	Draw wand and heal.
TelinArtho 02-07-06, 04:09 PM	Shakari is concerned about her life, so she pulls a wand and heals herself with it, narrowly dodging (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358618) another energy ray. Current Status: Shakari 13/36 --Zyazz -2/37 (bleeding) (status unknown) --Fireflame 15/22 Small Hawk xx/xx How much more do you want to heal?
Luni 02-07-06, 04:39 PM	Heal one more time, then put bow away and shoot, shoot shoot
TelinArtho 02-07-06, 05:20 PM	Shakari heals (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358681) once more and dodges another energy ray. She puts away the wand and hopes to take out the bird quickly, firing (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358686) an arrow, but curses as it misses - all the while dodging yet another beam of energy. Shakari fires again, but the bird is just too wily (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358690) to hit. Shakari continues to dodge the energy attacks. What a difference this fight would have had with a decent set of attack rolls on your end... Taking a second for a prayer to Ehlonna the Huntress, Shakari focuses in on the bird once more and fires - this time piercing (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358693) the bird deep in the chest (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358692). Its energy ray finds an opening as well and catches Shakari hard. Current Status: Shakari 15/36 --Zyazz -2/37 (bleeding) (status unknown) --Fireflame 15/22 Small Hawk xx-6/xx Will continue again shortly - if you want to heal first, let me know.
Luni 02-07-06, 06:31 PM	Shoot Again.
TelinArtho 02-08-06, 10:16 AM	Shakari fires again and is amazed as her arrow goes astray (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359142). Looking incredulously at her bow, she instinctively dodges yet another energy ray. She calms herself down, nocks another arrow and fires (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359144) - catching the bird in the wing and almost bringing it down. The bird - seeing itself heavily wounded and its prey defending itself better than it would have hoped - speeds off - quickly out of sight. You dropped it to 1hp - so it ran... Returning to find the battered, scorched and limp frame of Zyazz, she dismounts to see if he still lives. Amazed, she finds that his bleeding had stopped (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359145) and that he is still alive! One thing goes your way... Okay - let me know what you want to do for healing and we'll move on quickly to the next encounter.
Luni 02-08-06, 12:19 PM	Use my wand to heal up to at least 30 hp. Heal Zyazz up to 30 hp too. Then retreive anything I dropped, and all of my non-broken arrows. Then, we shall continue on.
TelinArtho 02-08-06, 12:40 PM	Shakari spends some time to tend to Zyazz's and her own wounds (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359234), using 8 charges (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359235) in all (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359236). Current Status: Shakari 31/36 --Zyazz 33/37 --Fireflame 15/22 For the next few hours, Shakari travels along the road without major incident. As evening starts to settle in, she can see the wayfarer's inn not too far ahead, and as predicted, it appears to be occupied. She also thinks she sees the drapes on the second floor of it rustle from movement within. You may or may not have been spotted already - distance is 300ft. You can approach as close as 30ft to the edge of the building under cover if you so choose. The area within 30ft of it (all around) is completely obstacle-free (so no sneaking up to the building...).

Luni 02-08-06, 12:54 PM	Move silently forward, and keep an eye out for ambushes. Have Zyazz move silently 20' to my right. So all together, we should be moving 40'. (Ok. Not very silent, but thats ok.) Keep bow in hand.
TelinArtho 02-08-06, 01:02 PM	Are you staying mounted? Also, 20ft apart - are you staying in the relative open of the road? If not - on the side of the road of the inn or the opposite side?
Luni 02-08-06, 01:19 PM	Stay mounted, move in hte brush on the same side of the inn.
TelinArtho 02-08-06, 01:33 PM	Moving as quietly as can be, Shakari and her animal friends approach the semi-deserted inn. There appears to be some noise within - music perhaps - and some voices - though most of it is muffled too much by the intervening walls to decipher it all. Okay - you have approached 40ft - you are now 260ft away from the corner of the inn.
Luni 02-08-06, 02:36 PM	Keep on approaching until I hear something from the outside.
TelinArtho 02-08-06, 02:48 PM	Excellent... Shakari and her crew stay to the shadows of the trees as best they can while they approach the inn. Keeping an ear out for trouble in the woods, she reaches the last trees before the open clearing - still not sure if anyone has seen her from within. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 30. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . x . . . . . . . . 9. . t . . . . . t . . . . . . . . t . . . . . d . . . . . . . . 8. . . . . . . . t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . x . . . . . . . . 7. . . t . . . t . . . . . . . . t . . . . . .

You/Fireflame and Zyazz are marked on the map
Luni 02-08-06, 02:51 PM	listen for a round.
TelinArtho 02-09-06, 12:13 PM	Well, she'll get what's comin' to her if she dares set foot in here - that's for sure! Shakari hears (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=359783) faintly through the cracked walls of the building. You hear a total of three figures movements, though only one talking. They all seem to be on the first floor of the building and none near the windows that you can see from this angle.
Luni 02-09-06, 03:20 PM	Move to within 30' of the window. Then, can I cast Summon Swarm (Bats) inside the building?
TelinArtho 02-09-06, 04:17 PM	Since the window is a solid object (granted it is transparent) - no you can't cast a bat swarm inside - line of effect is blocked. However - if you broke the glass - then it would be fair game.
Luni 02-09-06, 04:20 PM	Shoot the window then. :)
Luni 02-11-06, 10:27 PM	I hope nothing serious has happened to you Telin. "Surrender or face Shakari's wrath!"
