Topic: The Chakran Portal - Q/A
Subject: Plan of Action
Alright, here's taking from some military background and Tann at least will likely agree. (Anyone else, you've likely seen LotR two towers  )
We currently have the advantage of hieght, and the higher ground the better. We've also, aside from this brief grassy space we're in have rocky outcroppings and boulders likely behind or even before us. If we can take out as many of them before actively engageing them in melee the better. We have plenty of ranged options, from arrows and bolts to Loda's flaming Spheres and the like.
If Loda has an Entangle Spell, I'd suggest backing up beyond the clearing, into the rocky hills and having Loda entangle the clearing as soon as a good number of goblins have entered it, holdin them down while we pepper them with projectiles. Even if not, we can pepper them as they cross the clearing.
With the higher ground, just as we fell on it, we make the enemy come to us, traversing the difficult ground while we secure stable footholds and take them on as we can. Placing Alyssia and Geim in the rear (possibly Malius if he's archery prone rather than dual weapons I'll have to check)
If we can put Alyssia behind Thondrek or another melee fighter, hopefully between two large outcroppings or what not, slightly above them even (I'm suggesting Thondrek because I have the ability to teleport quickly) and as the goblins swarm she can lightning bolt numerous ones in a single spell, and provide some backpacking of spells and healing while the meleeist hacks away.
Thoughts?

Subject: The Ogre had fallen
The Ogre had fallen, but the entire encampemnt below was already on the move, and in a few minutes they would come pouring over that hill and all hell would break loose. Thondrek picked himself up from his trip, and rubbed the bruises the jagged rocks undoubtedly left upon him.
"Aye that'll leave a mark."
Thondrek mentally went over his spell rpetoir, and checked his new axe. There would be penty of goblin skuls to crack tonight.
If there's time and boulder's enough to allow for it, Thondrek will suggest movin to a higher position and rolling boulders down the hill into the valley below to try and pick off and scatter as many goblins as they can before actively engageing them. He's even willing to Dimension hop some boulder's from their resting places into the air to allow for some inertia to start the rolling motion if needed (if strength isn't able to move them)
(If not, he'll still move to a higher more advantages position.
"If the boulders aren't an option, I suggest we still move ta higher ground, take cover and utilize our ranged weapons till they get closer. wedge between rock outcroppings and boulders o limit their numbers advancing at a single time; an get them inta lines and straights for Alyssia ta tear a hole through with her lightning. I've got a single fireball left and a bunch of firebolt's I can call forth, but I'm thinking we need ta be thinkin more along the line's o defensive measures here people."
(will cover plan again in mechanics terms in q/a)

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: Items
I've left a price on the items found on the enemy and Solvy in parenthesis these are the market values and as such party members only need pay half of the number listed to 'own' the item. Of course the party can always loan an item to the appropriate member who may benefit mostly from it. Remember as well anything in the bag of holding need be retreived by he or she that places it in there.
Which raises another point. Elesia had the pocket dimension patch with much of your rations and supplies. You will likely need to resupply, hopefully at the temple and the like.

I'll move certain items of Solvy's to the party item's thread, but remember anything she kept in her bag of holding is lost, as the bag creates a personal extra dimensional storage area based on the user.

after a proper memorial or at least some stones placed or a hole dug, Bart's not exactly happy with claiming more fallen comrad's equipment. But in knowing the necessity of surviving this quest, He'll add her money to his patron fund, and as for the equipment he'l leave that up to the party.

Subject: Sorry about that
No Bart doesn't use the wand himself, I've transferred it to Aelistae's possession for the time being on the main q/a thread post (as it's a party item)
And I've added Aelistae's personal wand with 35 charges back to her character sheet as well. I don't know when or where it was removed, I have it in my hard copy notes.

Subject: Well I'll await everyone elses posts before moving things along
But I take it you'll be chancing the Temple which is fine by me. You 'may' wish to consider applying some healing or the likes along the way.
To save some time, Bartholomew has Loriel's old wand of cure light wounds, and will use it on those around from worst to clearest.
Health Check will follow:
Aelistae 38/38
Artanis 46/50
Xaris 61/ 61
Linnix 37/37
Talus 22/ 24
This is following twenty charges from the wand.

Subject: Member Address!
Kiku approached and offered Kimono a card which she took without hesitation. Little of what she knew included such things as this. After giving Kiku a card of her own, the options of joining a party would appear. But she would let Twin Lightning explain such things.
"Y-yes, a party would be fine, the more the merrier right?" She turned her gaze on Twin Lightning. "And you'll protect us lovely ladies from all the nasty Pk'ers out there right?" she batted her pixelated eyelashes for encouragement as she spoke.

Kimono spun round and laid hr eyes on two strangers, PC's like her in this world of danger, exploration and intrigue. Kimono straightened herself as Twin Lightning addressed her. She stood there, her vibrant pink hair and brilliant blue eyes accented by the tight black leathers which garbed her lithe frame. Across her back was a simple scythe, held by an intricate leather sheathe with a magnetic silver-gilded bandoleer in which to affix the blade.
"err ummm... yes I am, quite the place Mac Anu is." She stood there with her fingers interlocked behind her back, sorta twisting on crossed feet delicately balanced on her toned legs ending in knee high boots.

Kimono looked around, took her first steps into the strange new world, though familiar to the player, Kimono didn't want to lend any sign of having played previouly... as short a time as that was before being Pk'd and lost.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: More Choices
Bartholomew was stunned by Aelistae’s reaction to the knowledge that they had been bitten, and supposedly had a short time left in which to enjoy their sanity. As she moved to turn her blade upon herself Talus shouted at her to snap her from her hasty decision, as did Bartholomew in kind. “Wait! There is still hope!”
Figuring that his words had gathered the attention of hopefully everyone, he began to speak in a clearer voice. “We can always try to ride back to Castle Tethyr for aid, and though it would take yet more time from our quest, we cannot hope to complete it if we change into snarling mindless animals consumed by the bloodlust of Shar’s abominations. But there is also another option. A half days ride to the north is a shrine and a monastery to both Deneir and Oghma. It has been there for many years, though I have not ventured there since the war has ended, busy has the rebuilding of Darromar been. Surely the priests and monks there would have the means to aid us, and if not the knowledge of how to cure this most dreadful ailment? Plus it’s in the right direction at least. What say you?”

Subject: du du du du du inspector Talus du du du du DU DUH
Talus put both his innate abilities, and his magical monocle to use on the werewolf’s body, but was stunned to see that it did not revert back to its human form. Perhaps this creature was a natural lycanthrope told of in myth and legend, one who starts the chain of affliction along the gene pool with its diseased bite. Though the werewolf is dead, three items remain in tact which radiates a magical aura. The first is the black cloak with the black disc and deep purple ring along its circumference still draped along its back. Weaved from dark spider silk, the “Cloak of the Night” often softens the wearer’s silhouette, and deadens their footsteps granting a +10 circumstance bonus to move silently checks.
The second item is the enchanted belt of squirrel tails with a buckle of highly polished soapstone carved to resemble the moon. Upon inspection, the simple belt is found to offer a +1 strength modifier when worn.
The last item is the staff picked up, once thought used to bend the trees to the druid’s will. After careful examination, it is discovered that the staff contains a trio of spell applications within its gnarled white frame, though many of the charges had been expended. “Staff of the Pack” Spells include “Summon Nature’s ally 1 Wolf only(1 charge) Summon Nature’s ally 3 Wolves or Dire Wolf only (2 Charges), Instincts of the Pack (3 Charges) Total Charges 11
(Instincts of the Pack: This spell will allow up to 1 target per caster level (6 in this case) to temporarily gain the Pack initiative Feat for a number of rounds equal to 6 / the number of people granted the feat on the following round after the spell is cast. Ie if 6 people are targeted, they all gain the ability the following round, if two people are targeted; beginning the following round they have 3 rounds of the pack initiative feat. The Pack initiative feat allows all allies with the same feat to move on the same initiative (up to the maximum highest initiative they could have) For example, Aelistae, Talus and Xaris all had the spell active, and I rolled for initiatives, and Aelistae with her Cat’s Grace rolls a 26 initiative, neither Talus nor Xaris could match that, but say Xaris rolls a 23 and Talus a 14, They could all decide to go on Xaris’ 23 initiative simultaneously. This is how the Wolves were so effective, as if even one of them won initiative, they all got to go.)

Subject: It's short I know, but what can ya do lol
For Silvara and Zorana, their fight had just begun. As they backtracked, the swarms slithered across the sandstone towards them, overtaking them and began crawling up their frames, the numerous tiny vipers simply swarmed over them. The women hacked at the swarms, their weapons dropping multiple serpents in a single stroke, but more simply flooded over them. Multiple bites found openings in clothing and armor, but both women were constitutionally sound enough to ward off any possible poison. As the snakes continued to pour forth from their holes, the women realized they would need to react fast or flee before being overtaken altogether.

Subject: The culling of the herd
It was almost as though someone had loaded a past save point in the lives of these combatants. Health had been restored, enemies replenished, the battle begun anew. With replenished stamina, the companions hoped to turn the tactical advantage on their adversaries, and many of them reacted with vigorous haste. Aelistae, her enchanted grace propelling her forward was the first to react. Moving to flank the wolf doing the same to Xaris, Aelistae brought forth her court blade in an overhead slash which caught the flanked creature heartily in the back. The fine blade cut easily through fur and flesh and with a shrill howl, the creature died, convulsing a few moments as its body involuntarily twitched in the last moments of life as its synapses and nervous system systematically shut down (-13 hp)
Xaris, sweet, kind, passionate, bleached albino Xaris too was more than ready to put his renewed strength, and newfound life to good use. Gripping his sword, his whitening knuckles lost within the blanched skin of the rest of his body; Xaris swung at the Lycanthrope, who still stunned by the blinding flash of light was slow to react, the blade catching him along the side, but lacking sufficient force to inflict more than a superficial wound. (-1hp)
Talus too was quick to react, and though he still ached and suffered painful repercussions for every movement he took, he positioned himself to better aid those around him. Targeting the wolf in front of Linnix, he fired yet another eldritch blast, the wave of nether-energy streaked across the clearing like a brackish arrow, striking, and felling the creature where it stood. The wolf lurched in pain, but already the magical ties keeping it here were broken, and the body dissipated into nothingness even before the body had completely toppled to the ground.
Outraged by the sudden turn of events, the Lycan roared a howl once more, though fortunately this time the Dire wolf was not freed from Aelistae’s turning attempt. Along with the Howl, the Lycan lunged at the renewed Xaris, hoping to bring the overzealous gnome down to size…and to the Lycan, that feat would not be considerably difficult. With the feral rage of an untamed animal the lycanthrope pounced upon Xaris, tearing at his chest, knocking him to the ground and biting deep into his side with razor sharp teeth. Once atop him, the Lycan proceeded to rake at the gnome with talon like claws that shredded Xaris’ armor, and the flesh beneath into ribbons.
(A successful trio of a full attack round + AoO from a Trip attempt combined with a critical)
(Xaris = 10/ 61HP)
In the same instance that Xaris had been restored, all that had been giveth had been taketh away, and with a bloody smile the Lycan laughed a cruel growling chuckle.
The Wolf flanking Artanis managed an overwhelming success as well. With the warrior so focused on the Lycan before her, the wolf was free to gouge at her legs sweeping her from her feet and plant it’s jaw hungrily around her shoulder once more, sending her back into a world of pain. (Ugh the tables turn yet again, another successful trip and a critical) (Artanis 26/50 hp)
Free from direct opposition, it was Linnix’s hopes to change the odds in their favor with the summoning of a powerful ally. "Fly Tessa Fly!" Linnix calls. From her hands the ivory statue takes on a feathered texture, before flying from her open palms and growing into the full size of a majestic griffon. With a caw and a powerful flap of its wings it takes to the air, ready to serve its master.
"Attack the wolves over there!" Linnix bade it, and without hesitation it took to the duties assigned.
Diving at the wolf flanking Artanis, the griffon pounced upon the creature, biting at the beast and raking at it with two claws lined with dagger like talons. The summoned wolf hardly stood a chance, as the griffon tore it t shreds under a barrage of attacks. Like the others, the wolf died in a dissipating burst of magical energy.
Free to pick amongst the only two remaining targets, and seeing the poor positions of both Xaris and Artanis once more, Linnix fired her silver bolt toward’s the lycan, the small bolt passing amonst the attackers to strike the enemy in the chest, eliciting a low growl of painful frustration from the creature as the silver bit into it’s muscular hide. (-2hp)
Bartholomew too was invigorated by the healing wave that had overcome him, and while he knew Aelistae had wished his withdrawal from combat, Xaris’ grievous injuries, inflicted in mere seconds was enough to spurn him to action once more. Taking up yet another flanking position around the Lycan, he jabbed at it with his pitchfork, barely scratching the creature much like xaris had. (-1 hp)
Artanis, rising for the umpteenth time this day, grunted in pain as she hefted her weapon once more, scolding herself for being so careless towards the ‘lesser threat.’ Now that it was eliminated however, the griffon’s mighty form towering only a few feet from her gave her confidence, and she idly passed her hand over the griffon emblazoned on her armor, and moved to strike the lycan before her. Her blade, like Xaris’ bit into the beast, but the creature’s natural resiliency proved formidable indeed. (-3 hp)
Round 2:
This battle had gone on long enough, certainly as far as our protagonists were concerned. As such, this time around they all jumped upon the enemy as a team, in unison, utilizing the same tactics the wolf pack had to such effect previously. Talus started things off with a blast of eldritch energy, lowering himself from the tree boughs for a clearer shot. Perhaps it was the chance to finally really get into the thick of things, to make a difference that bolstered Talus’ invocation, for it flew from his fingertips with increased potency, striking unerringly like an accursed magic missile striking the Lycan with devastating effect. The lycan howled in pain, and vowed that the spellcaster would be the next to die. it was only a matter of mere moments. (-20 hp on a critical ray attack)
Artanis and Aelistae however were not about to sit around and wait for that to happen. With an increasing number of warriors surrounding the Lycan they attacked each from an opposite end both striking the Lycanthrope though doing little damage. (-2hp)
Xaris stepped up next, though once again he could not manage to strike home against the though foe before him.
It was Linnix who was perhaps the most prepared to combat these creatures than any, as she loaded one of her last silvered bolts into her chamber, commanding her griffon to attack the lycan. With an almost gleeful cry the Griffon struck, biting into the lycan harder than any mortal weapon possessed by the party could have hoped for. To compliment the powerful tearing of it’s beak came those deadly talons which happily raked at the druidic lycanthrope nearly dropping it where it stood. (-28hp) Linnix of course was only more than pleased to finish the job, as her bolt sailed true and struck the critically wounded creature square in the left eye, penetrating the brain and killing it instantly. (Linnix scores a timely critical hit with a silver bolt)
Finally able to breathe for the time being, the group is able to relax somewhat, only a single, turned Dire wolf remained. Would they kill it while it was defenseless? Or herd it out into the wild to perhaps live out a more natural life?
(If you decide as a group to slay it, I’ll simply rule between all of you manage to take it down Especially with Tessa’s help before she reverts back into a statue)
(Congratulations for surviving a very hefty encounter.)

So there was Silvara, looking like some leashed crab, rope around her waist and a pair of shields strapped back and front while she held a borrowed spear as a probe. She moved down the corridor cautiously placing some weight on the spear point on the tiles before her, scratching X’s into the dust as she went before standing on her marked sections. Zorana kept a tight grip on the rope keeping the slack from the coil as her partner and friend moved, and Silvara was halfway down the hallway when her spear point passed completely through the false floor, setting into motion a series of events.
First, the floor beneath her began to crumble, as though she were standing on nothing more than paper, and Silvara backpedaled with Zorana pulling her along so as not to fall. Safe back in the previous hallway, the ladies could gaze down into the pit lined with razor sharp spears tht was revealed, but the trap was not finished. From the holes lining the sides of the corridor came a awful hissing sound and the sound of grates moving. In a moment, snakes of all different breeds and colors slithered out from their holes, many of them falling into the pit to slither around, but at the scent of fresh life, many more began to crawl along the walls towards the women.
(you are facing off against 2 swarms’ for the purpose of combat)
