Session 155: The Ettin's Fall & The Iron Rain
Not our world I don't I don't think we're a Greyhawk anymore. Is this thing on the map? Is that the broken part of the ship or a good rock or something? It's debris rocks parts of the ship and Case to say it's a rock we hide in the shadow folks. It's probably a good spot behind that rock yeah hell yeah I think our tank you guys should stay just step up front here and the rest of us will hang back and see what happens when these lights so I could hear great the way that's a good attitude. I will read our rescuers. I'm sure I'm sure that there are friendly bunch. I mean come on we've been through plenty what's the worst I could possibly add you sir right behind him. With reason we landed here on their world. We are the invaders so let's we should probably make ourselves know to be peaceful. You know we are right tell her we conquer the world. I'm just saying the Sterman thought I'd hear from you. Never thought I'd hear those words from you and I grabbed him by the by the shoulders and squeeze tightly then I pull them in for a hug goddamn dammit you son of a bitch you may not be the smartest one here that's a brilliant ide. What are you doing over the world we try to do every day. Every day you fail, but you keep trying. It's important all we gotta do is do it once.
Every single time, five points moving upward from the they seem to be fanning out kind of been a lying like a line of breast so they could it looks like they're just sort of following picking their way through the rubble up these gouges that you can see before you and they're not rushing they're moving clearly around debris that you can't see just based on the distance. I figured it'd probably be another 10 to 15 minutes before they make it close enough that you would be within, probably visible in exciting distance, though you'd be in boat shop before that time if you decide you want to snack that.
Anybody got like legless eyesight 10 so I am I am I able to maybe like discern like silhouettes based on make a perception check but it's your health I don't think your vision isn't like a normal role you look out into the darkness even with their slippery lights in the silhouette around them. They're humanoid size, but can't tell if they're as you were thinking more goblins humans who which way is the wind what smell? They continue to move up towards you and now we update the map.
You free us up our mortal coil or what I call them and I say pale, good travelers Ntuka and you granting back-and-forth from the distance and then they stop where they are one in the center
Whisper, I don't think they've seen you all that I step forward a step around the tree here kind of step forward hands up we are we are. I am humble, humble traveler, humble adventure, myself. Where am I mumbled something back that you have really difficult time hearing over the sound of the hissing of the ship the freaking the idea, though that he's not understanding you perhaps your dialect as you're speaking too fast or a little too thickly, he just repeats something effective halt. Stay where you are. Don't come any closer comply where I am my hands up like you know I don't I am
What is the name of your people are you guys stupid sorry I'm sorry the one who was speaking before yells back Che how would we know' here'ie Are you from? From the hill, the hill, can't understand you have drinks something it's like me that's wine or meade you just made a rap for life. is your interpret here love be my friend reverted. That's hilarious. Meat is good. You have grapes. You need to share rub around in my backpack. I don't have me, but I have I have rations. Would you like a ration? What is ration some kind of drink it's not very good though, but it'll keep you alive if you need it it's like meat. It is like meat this one
He advances the rest of his group stays behind if you look at where he's at he seem to be you're close enough enough to see perceive willing to treat with us or is he just like looking for a fight or is he just itching to see if I can discern Raiders is well with you I mean he seems like he's a wary you know battle hard and veteran is kind of sassing you out you can't really tell if he's looking too much for a fight as he's just on edge. This clearly is not something else is expecting to have to deal with being that you're a human. He seems to have let his guard down in your senses he's treating with you like you're probably an equal not something of his experience, even though we just crawled out of the big giant metal flying ship.
Abandoned as he bends down a sword still in his hand, but he picks up the best I can but it kind of looks at it takes a bite, yuck the truth you do not look like the masters said you would look like what did they say we would look like they would all have robes and no armor. You all look like us points back to his patriot and then he uses the other hand with the torch kind of leaves it around in the gesture that you get it's like
It's a good thing that we have arrived because this way you can perhaps take us to the masters we have much to discuss with them masters packed the way we came down the mountain. Excellent how many how many are you there enough more than five when we walk if you then we wait for more of tried to come escort you down mountain of course yes yes tell us how are the masters they are looks from your van spot. He sees his eyes narrow bit squint at you all. They are surprised I have never seen them surprised.
That's us full of surprises you got my name. What about you? What is your name where I am from? It is customer where I am from. We do not disclose our names. It gets power over our to our enemies for today. You may just call us Cree the tribe of the C 35 one will be will be creatine. Could've been worse before we walk down the mountain. You should know that you have come in. You will not be allowed to return. If you have anything you must take you should grab it now. Have you guys seen a woman come running through here? Like a metal dragon there was a sighting of a wizard. Perhaps I could be long ago perhaps half an hour before online fits I think you lead onto your village. I'm sure it's lovely. Are you looking for her cause she one of you has something of ours is it something of value or is it something that you could do without? It is something valued to it's my people find her. We can bring her to you, but I doubt we will catch her. she was up in the sky some above our our height good to know thank you. We are finished. We will walk south.
Party Encounters a Ettin
Sorry, Bryan, where was where is the flight again? It's back towards the ship. They appear to be engaged with the tribe members or at least from that we're talking a couple thousand feet maybe a half mile in the ship where you walked and there's somewhere between you know that spot maybe 1000 feet we definitely be in the dark though you got close enough they seem to be battling closer to the ship than you. You're current calculus I do go over to one and I ask what do we want to go help your friends fellow drive doesn't matter what we want. The old ones said bring you here and stay with you. We stay but I guess we will stay. We get that since he's not happy about it. It's pretty clear from the tone of his voice he's frustrated. He seems more concerned about the old ones than these creatures.
The old ones do not care for my people so why do you care for them because they are worse than the creatures out in the force persuasion close enough close enough the old ones live by a different code definitely says you're talking back towards patriot offered to help if that's what these guys want. I wish I knew your name, but I understand if you don't want to tell me, but what I don't understand is how you can stand here and watch your people be slaughtered by that two head and creature out there. He looks back at you in a fire flickering in his eyes and says there's a chance my people can beat the creatures. We have never defeated the old ones in Congo. we are a subjugated people we never had on your side. This is true and we don't know who the old ones are but if you need help we are we have been known to help out people from time to time and you have shown us nothing but hospitality so far and we would very much like that to continue make a persuasion check these
You got now that we have adequate information a bottle of fire now we have some fun people we get them on our side trying to be sensible as we go and we walked past tree one I say like you said your job was to bring us here, but you said you can't stop us but your job but you've already brought us here. That means you can also come with us that you should follow us to keep an eye on us for the ancient ones because we wander way out of the camp. That's a great point he looked over at you. Looks back at his compatriots and speaking some kind of tongue that you don't understand they hold very brief conversation point out towards the battle using we will follow if the master show up, we will have to escort you back. Seems fair we go they never land so we're going back to the with us. That's a great idea. Let's bring torches. I'm gonna lie to George a lot of Kannan. I'm not gonna take inventory. I'm gonna pick up a piece of wood here on fire like that.
Ettin attacks party as they heard towards the ship use combat log for narrative
As you finish up the two ettins finishing off the rest of the tribe while you guys are kind of healing.I'll do it at third level and most of us has spells right at me we could we could throw from here if they effect just saying how far is it?
Durmen Firebolts
Aldran Eldritch Blasts
Egon entangles both
Initiative roll for new combat round Aldran Eldritch Blasts again Nail Heals Durmen
Nail kills the ettin as it turns to flee
aldran leaps into the air and cleaves the remaining ettin
Dropship appears overhead and 6 warforged drop from the sky
So you're looking backwards as these things are kind of dropping these things drop out of the sky near simultaneously the victorious the creed they're briefly a little plasma jets kind of light up the sky on their way down and you see them they look terrified
