Topic: A Local Legend - An Audalis Short Adventure
Subject: old lizard


There was a silence, and the old lizard stared at Cole, but his mind was somewhere more reclusive. After a very long pause he spoke again, very softly. It was as if every word struggled to get out.

"I hhhaven't been called by that name for a very long time." He spoke, almost breathed.
Then he took the heroes into the storage room, where the other lizardmen couldn't hear them or see the memories edged on the ancient manlizard's face.

"I can tell you thisss. A very long time ago, Gubulondil was angered by the escape, or kidnapping asss hhhe sssaw it, of one of HHHisss hhhigh priestsss. Love wasss what took hhher away, but the God of the Current blamed the man and the village hhhe came from. I learned about HHHisss vengeful plansss and created a group of lizardmen to pray to Gubulondil, to appease HHHim. It worked, for a while. Then the lizardmen got out of control. The mindlessss creatures!"

He shook his head. "I took sssome villagersss who deserved to be punished and transformed them. Now I teach their children and their children'sss children about the waysss of Gubulondil. If we ssstop, or if the villagersss move away, it will be all of our endsss. I cannot sssay anything more. HHHe isss listening."

With that he returned to the big hall.

"I will ssshow you around, and then you must leave and go on your adventuresss."

And he showed them around the cave. It was a rather small habitat, with the big chamber and prayer hall as a center.

To the north-west was a breeding place, were eggs lay gathered in small nests. North of the Altar was an opening which lead directly into the ocean. Some magic was used to make sure the water wouldn't enter the cave like a vaccuum.
South of the big chamber was a common place for resting and sleeping, with beds made out of straw and seewead and wool for stuffing.
Finally, the chamber most east was used as a dining room and kitchen. All in all, everything was very primitive, but reminded them of their own ways of living. These were not savages or monsters.

But they still had a problem to solve.

(OOC: The old Lizardman will not say anything more about the subject. There is no use in trying, unless you want to provoke him into anger. There might be other ways of learning more, but I think you should be able to gather what is going on with all the bits and pieces of information that have been given so far in the adventure.)

I think the whisper was nicely put. What you could try is not a dotted line, but a broken one, made up of small lines. But this way is fine, I think.

Have to agree with Gin: first one to make me actually smile. But a comic doesn't always have to be comical though. It's been a good read so far.

"There isss nothing you can do to hhhelp the villgersss. HHHE isss eternal, and ssso isss hisss wrath."

A few of the other manlizards eyed the old one from a distance, and he caught himself and added: "And that isss a good thing! They deserve the hardship. Now, you must leave, and not tell any of the villagersss what you have found down the old well."

Subject: reply once more


"Godsss don't forgive or forget like usss mortalsss do." said the Lizardman. "We are hhhere to ensure that the villagers remain..."

he paused, then stated: "I hhhave sssaid enough. You want to understand, but I can't sssay more than I already hhhave about thisss. It will hhhave to do."

He wasn't getting angry, but it was quite obvious that he did not want to say anything else about that situation. And so the heroes found themselves at a crossroad of choices. Pushing their goals could mean enraging the manlizards, which was what they were trying to avoid. But remaining silent would mean abandoning their quest...

"Like I sssaid," the old lizard replied, "sssome thingsss are bessst left alone."

But he continued anyway.

"The woman you ssspeak of wasss a follower of our God, the mighty Gubulondil. Ssshe wasss highly loved by hhhim, but taken from hhhis ssside by a man from the village. It wasss a tragedy what hhhappened to hhher, and the village will pay for that asss long asss it existsss. Don't ask me to explain, for I cannot. It might compromise everything I've worked ssso hard for."

For a moment, there was a difference in he tone of his voice, and the expression on his face was humanly sorrowful. He looked at the chalk drawings on the walls of the cave, and his stare became that of a cold-blooded reptilian again.

"The villagersss don't know why we pester them with these monthy visitsss, and sssuch ssshould remain the sssituation. It isss for their own good."

The old lizard nodded, having peered over his shoulder at the mural.

"What about hhher?" he asked, then added: "Sssome thingsss are bessst left alone."

Subject: hmmm


The old lizard considered Tamuril's words for a moment before replying.

"Yesss," he said to himself, "perhhhaps it isss bessst." Then out loud to the adventurers: "You can wait hhhere. We are now to consssume the giftsss of our Lord in his hhhonour. You can hhhonour hhhim with usss."

With that he ordered the other manlizards to return to the carpet. Two of them remained and kept an eye on the four behind the blanket.

The old humanoid lizard returned to the altar and started hacking the big fish, which was already cut in half, into pieces. He gathered them in a bowl which was passed from lizard to lizard. Each took a small strip of the fish and ate it up, then bowed its head in prayer. Eventually, the bowl was passed to the adventurers as well. Would they eat the raw, scaley flesh?

When the bowl was returned to the altar, the old lizard spoke a few words in their native tongue, and they eyed the adventurers again. Still, most of them got up, and disappeared into other areas of the cave.

It was now that the adventurers got a good look at the hall they were in, and the drawings on the wall. Though they were worn and partially unrecognizable, they clearly depicted sea life in all its riches. On many of the chalk displays they could see a sharp contrast between the beautiful ocean and the land that defied it. On several there were high waves casting shadows over the shores. On one of them, a woman was depicted, a beautiful human woman, rising up from the sea, basking in the sunlight.

Then the old manlizard was with them again.
"Whhhat isss it you want from usss?"

Subject: here goes


While the lizardmen were caught up in the religious song of one of their children, the adventurers prepared their offering.

A blanket was put out close to the entrance of the small cave. The lizardmen did not notice them, quiet as they were. On the blanket they placed a dagger, a few coins, a loaf of bread, a fishing hook from Aldagen and their own peaceful intentions.

They could see the lizardmen from here, being very close and looking strangely alien but familiar in their humanoid ways of prayer. The child had finished its song and was returning to its place on the carpet. The old lizardman they had heard earlier returned to stand behind the altar. He raised a big butcher's knife high. While he readied himself to let it fall on a fat fish that lay on the stone surface, and then saw the adventurers. The knife dropped slowly, but his gaze did not.
One by one, the other lizardmen turned. The expression on their faces, as far as they were readable, changed from peaceful concentration to angry perplexity. Some of them got up, whispering, and started for the blanket and the non-lizardmen gathered behind it. One of them called out, which triggered the evacuation of the woman and children.
Some of the lizardmen went to get their weapons, but the old lizardman walked past all of the commotion and arrived at the blanket first.
Behind him, spears were gathered, but none of the lizardmen attacked, waiting for his decision.

Cocking his head like a bird, the old manlizard peered at them, his eyes hollow and absorbing. He glanced at the offerings on the blanket, then back at the four intruders behind it.

In a raspy voice he addressed them:
"Whhhy havve you come ghhhere? Whhhe ssshould killll you forrr thissss threat."

Racial features
·Darkvision: Khords can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Khords can function just fine with no light at all.
·Stonecunning: Stonecunning grants Khords a +2 racial bonus on checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Khord who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a check as if he were actively searching, and a Khord can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Khord can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Khords have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison: Khords are hardy and resistant to toxins.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
·+1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs, crunaik, and goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears): Khords are trained in the special combat techniques that allow them to fight their common enemies more effectively.
·+4 dodge bonus against giants: This bonus represents special training that Khords undergo, during which they learn tricks that previous generations developed in their battles with giants. Note that any time a character loses his positive Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, such as when he's caught flat-footed, he loses his dodge bonus, too.
·+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to rare or exotic items: Khords are familiar with valuable items of all kinds (especially those made of stone or metal).
·+2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal: Khords are especially capable with stonework and metalwork.

Backstory:
Arduin was born as the third child out of four. As such it fell to him to be the Military driven child in the family, a role he accepted with honor and truth be told glee. Glee at the prospect of defending his home and defending it’s secrets. The underworld holds many secrets perhaps more than the surface; held in the gems and moss and mushrooms and strange creatures and echoing tunnels and dark passages illuminated by those it permits. The underground breathes in a way that the surface world can only dream of. And unlike the surface world which is being raped and destroyed by the ‘enterprising races’ the underworld shifts and heals itself protecting its secrets from those unworthy. So Arduin believes for he has witnessed such wandering the tunnels both abandoned and new. In his youth while he wasn’t training with the Waraxe Arduin could be found contemplating the mysteries of the underworld while tending to his moss and mushroom farm in a small cave by his parents house. He still tends the grove now and again when he isn’t doing missions for his people. He first discovered the power to shift while daydreaming in his grove thinking how neat it would be to live life as a creature of the cave without worrying about the rules or his place in society. He first showed it to his commanding officers in a fight with a few gnolls that the Khords were sadly losing. They’d been ambushed at the end of examining whether the Khords should claim a tunnel that seemed to have a lucrative gold vein in it. The Khord party had five people in it; three soldiers a sapper and a priest. The party of gnolls had ten. The priest fell first with a soldier quickly following. The rest of the khord party made it to a tunnel entrance and settled in for a messy fight. A stalemate seemed to come about with the first three gnolls to test the khord defense falling fast. The Khords needed o make it to the other tunnel but if the moved from their position they would likely be taken out by the remaining seven gnolls. On the same hand any gnoll who tested the dwarves defense quickly fell. To end the stalemate Arduin changed into Gravorg and charged the gnolls. The sudden appearance of this fearsome predator gave Arduin and the others all the time they needed to counterattack. By the end the gnolls were dead and Arduin no longer fit into ordinary Khord society. There were no precedents or rules for a Khord who could change shape. Many of the Elders argued that Arduin was no longer a Khord but instead something else. Arduin didn’t care how the Elders found him as long as he could protect his caves and study the underworld. Eventually it was decided that here being no rules against a Khord shapeshifting that Arduin was a hero and unique. He was placed in a special position in the Khord’s military where he seemed to draw the short stick on many of the nastier missions and he often undertook these missions either with another group of elite Khords or alone. Either suited him as long as the job was done and his people and their caves were safe.

Description:
Niaou’li is a Khordaldrum woman. She’s a little insecure but is trying really hard to hide it. She possesses healing powers; that is why the people in her village have called her Niaou’li at birth, after the herb. She was raised by a very old woman who did not have any children of her own but who felt it was her destiny to raise Niaou’li. This woman knew everything there is to know about every herb, flower and plant in the nature surrounding Verbyn, the village where she is born, and she passed on her knowledge to Niaou’li. Because she was raised in the midst of nature, she is very anti-materialistic. She feels people who care only about money and possessions are lacking major qualities. When the old lady died, Niaou’li started wandering the lowlands, helping out those who needed to be healed.
When wandering the lowlands, Niaou’li found an ancient book. The full powers of this book are unknown to her, but she attempts to seek its mystery, and slowly she is unraveling what this book is about. Though she doesn’t fully understand why, she keeps it at her side at all times.
Niaou’li’s faithful friend is Firenze, a deer, who she rescued from the hands of trappers. Firenze has been with her for many years, as her companion and sometimes her form of transportation. Over the years they have developed a strong connection, and the deer follows Niaou’li into the heart of peril if need be.
As a Khordaldrum druid, Niaou’li is sometimes frowned upon. Some people, especially Sylvari, cannot understand that a Khord can be so close to nature. Even amongst her own kind there are those who would rather see her work the mines, cut the gems and care for the children. She has heard her calling though, and will not tolerate prejudice.

Chaos Magic: Any spell that a wild mage casts has a slight chance to release some of the wild mages potent magic, causing it to break through in an uncontrollable outburst. Each time the wild mage casts a spell he also rules a 1d20 surge die. If the die rolls a natural 20 then the result is a wild surge. To determine the results of a wild surge the DM rolls secretly on the Surge Chart that follows.

Random Deflector (Su): Once per day, Crellin can activate his random deflector as an immediate action, which lasts until the end of his next turn. The random deflector redirects ranged attacks, ranged touch attacks, and individually targeted spells (that is, spells designating Crellin as the sole target, but not area spells in which he happens to be the sole target) so that they instead attack or affect a random target within 20 feet of Crellin. Crellin himself, and his allies, are viable targets for this random selection of a new target. Any creature targeted by a deflected attack is attacked or affected normally, so an attack roll is made normally against the new target’s AC, the new target receives a saving throw if a spell or effect allows one, and so on.

Sneak Attack: If Crellin can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from his attack, he can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Crellin’s attacks deal an extra +1d6 damage whenever his opponent would be denied his Dexterity bonus to their AC, or he flanks the opponent. With weapons that deal non-lethal damage, this additional damage is also non-lethal. Any energy damage from touch spells or ranged touch spells made within 30 feet, that qualify as a sneak attack, this additional damage is of the same energy type. For example, if Crellin hits a flat-footed opponent with an acid splash, he would deal an additional +1d6 acid damage. However, a magic missile that hit a flat-footed opponent, would not gain a bonus +1d6 force damage, since there is no attack roll involved.

Summon Familiar: Crellin does not currently have a familiar. However, he could spend 100 gold pieces worth of special materials, and spend 24 hours to summon one, if he so desired.

Student of Chaos (Ex): Whenever Crellin uses a magic item that offers a randomly determined effect (such as a bag of tricks or rod of wonder), he can roll twice and choose between the two results. If a random roll is made only once to determine the nature or contents of a device (for example, a robe of useful items or an iron flask), Crellin gains no special advantage.
Trapfinding: Crellin can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a DC higher than 20 (not that he’s very good at it). See the rogue trapfinding class feature entry on pg. 50 of the Player’s Handbook.

Wild Magic: A wild mage casts spells differently from any other arcane spellcaster. Crellin reduces his caster level by 3 for all spells he casts. However, every time he casts a spell, his use of wild magic adds 1d6 to his adjusted caster level. Thus, Crellin has a base caster level of 4th, but his actual caster level varies from 5th level to 10th level for every spell he casts. Caster level affects all level-based variables of a spell, including spell penetration checks.
Wild Magic Skill: At 1st level, the wild mage gains a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks regarding known wild magic effects (including, if a wizard, checks made to inscribe a wild spell into a spellbook)
Wild Magic Spells: A wild mage receives one bonus spell per caster level much like a specialist wizard. This spell must be memorized from a spell on the Wild Mage spell list.

Unless otherwise noted, all spells created by a wild surge occur at the designated target point and function normally (appropriate saving throws are allowed). The caster's true level (as opposed to variance based level) is used when calculating range, duration, area of effect, etc. of these spells. Remember, unless the wild surge specifies otherwise it is in addition and not a replacement to the original effect which is calculated as all other chaos spells are, i.e. variance dice and so on.

Reckless Dweomer
Target - special.
Duration - special.
Range - special.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S.
Saving Throw - special.
Spell Resistance - yes.
When Casting this spell, the Wild Mage unleashes the Wild Forces within themself and channel it into a spell, this is generally used as a last resort spell as it is entirely unpredictable.

Attempted Enhancement
Target - special.
Duration - 1 round.
Range - special.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.
Saving Throw - None.
Spell Resistance - No.
When Casting this spell, the Wild Mage can attempt to enhance one aspect of the next spell they cast. This second spell must be cast in the round immediately following the casting of Attempted Enhancement. The Wild Mage casts the spell and announces the aspect of the second spell they wish to enhance. The DM rolls a d6, 4-6 the effect is doubled, 1-3 the result is halved and a Wild Surge ensues..

Range - Touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.

Surge Mastery
Target - special.
Duration - instantaneous.
Range - special.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S.
Saving Throw - None.

The caster has a 33% chance of controlling one aspect of the surge once it happens. Eg, minimum or maximum parts of a spell (maximum damage if centered on target, minimum if on caster), or half or double the amount of something (two demons gate in to attack caster instead of four).

Wildmine
Target - touched object.
Duration - permanent until triggered.
Range - touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.

Duration - 1d6 + 1 round / level..
Range - touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.

Range - close.

Non magical creatures struck by the vortex suffer 1d4 points of damage per level of caster. Magical greatures and spellcasters suffer 1d6 damage per level of caster.

Racial Traits:
+2 Constitution, -2 Charisma:
·Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures, Khords have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
·Khordaldrum base speed is 20 feet.
·Darkvision: Khords can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Khords can function just fine with no light at all.
·Stonecunning: Stonecunning grants Khords a +2 racial bonus on checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Khord who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a check as if he were actively searching, and a Khord can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Khord can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Khords have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison: Khords are hardy and resistant to toxins.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
·+1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs, crunaik, and goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears): Khords are trained in the special combat techniques that allow them to fight their common enemies more effectively.
·+4 dodge bonus against giants: This bonus represents special training that Khords undergo, during which they learn tricks that previous generations developed in their battles with giants. Note that any time a character loses his positive Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, such as when he's caught flat-footed, he loses his dodge bonus, too.
·+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to rare or exotic items: Khords are familiar with valuable items of all kinds (especially those made of stone or metal).
·+2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal: Khords are especially capable with stonework and metalwork.
·Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass Khord's fighter class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing. Khordaldrum culture extols the virtues of the warrior, and the vocation comes easily to Khords.

Subject: well


make sure your character is in order, and a background can really be the thing to have if we are going to make this a real roleplaying experience.

I hope to start this thing soon, but I need a few more characters, I'm afraid. Can't really start without Vesper and Drakar's character.

Farreus looked at the faces of his audience. They were caught up in the story as if they were actually there. It was good to see that he was still capable of entertaining and inspiring imagination.
He sat straight for a moment and rubbed his lower back. Ever since he had fallen down that well, his spine had a nasty little dent in it. But he didn't complain. He was alive, and had lived to grow old and share his story. It was one of the ways he could show his appreciation for the adventurers who saved him that day.

"You know," he addressed them all, "It's not always easy to determine what's the best thing to do in a difficult situation. Afterwards you'll always think of some better way of dealing with an obstacle or conflict. But a real hero isn't afraid of trying."

Some of the children nodded, others just gaped up at him. Farreus knew he should continue the story now, before their interest was lowered.


The request for a blanket had them all thinking. Aldagen the ranger was first to react. "They've got blankets at the inn! I'll go get one. It took us about half an hour going all carefull-like. I'm sure I can do it in 15. I'll be back later. Wait for me!"

And off he went. They waited half an hour. In the mean time, the lizardmen had stopped their chanting, and the heroes could now hear the voice of what could only be the old manlizard who had stood behind the altar. He was preaching, it seemed, and one word returned more than once: Gubulondil.
Suddenly a silence spread across the caves, and within it sounded the heavy clank of a metal blade on a stone surface. Then the lizardmen started their chanting again. Another voice singled itself out, but this time it was a high pitched one, like a child. It sounded like it was singing, but as they listened to it, Aldagen returned, with a blanket triumphantly in this hands. It had been stained a little, but was mostly dry.

"What did you want to do with this?" he asked.

Ayrn is right: I can't do anything besides write: the group moves back into the tunnel. For future posting it would be handier to assume the group moves back after your request, so you can add what it is you wanted to discuss. I really can't update in any kind of way on a single line post.
Or the idea should be to post frequently, otherwise this is going to take forever.

I'm getting the idea that this adventure is fizzling out of existence slowly. We are so very close to the conclusion. Let's try to remain focused please. I need actions or intentions in order to continue. This will not be a wait-and-see sort of ending, unless you guys are willing to spend another month down the tunnel to see every move and hear every word these creatures have to say. And if you intend to do that: tell me, so I can put in an update that spans a month. But at least give me something to work with.

Kaelyn, your character looks awesome. I'm curious to see how it will all develop.

Vesper: take your time. I'm currently on a vacation, with access to internet, but I'm in no real hurry to begin.

Hammer: too bad... loco would've great in this one, but alas.
