OOC: elf ears....que?

'I just wanted to touch elf ears' is a meme kind of similar to 'touch fluffy tail' in some places. Given the lack of fluffy tails in the Old World, it's the one that applies ^^

They blink at that but they seem to get the analogy.  They're still going to keep their distance incase you explode.

I'd be upset, but given this place is ... well ... this place? I can understand the caution.

Alright then.  The next morning the party, about a dozen strong, mount up.  The horse you rode last time is brought to you, he seems to have taken a liking to you.  They ask if you'd like to arm yourself with anything physical.  They know that wizards usually have at least a knife to fight with if the worst happens.

... I could use a knife. It'd save me from having to borrow one every now and again when I want something cut. I could probably make good use out of a spear too. I don't mention that I'll probably end up using it as a channel to direct some bending and don't really need much in the way of armaments, as such, to physically defend myself.

Roll a d100.

Good lord the dice gods are not smiling on you are they?

It's the nature of the dice. Though, to be fair, in this kind of game 'bad' encounter rolls are often just more interesting than 'everything goes well, nothing happens'.

"No chance of that lad.  Honor demands what honor demands.  My line has been holding this off for too long."

"I know. I just... I just wish there was another way."

OOC: You mean the two of you split up?

If yes: He agrees and bid you luck, promising to meet you when you both stand in Kazador's hall.

If Not: Then he keeps up with you.

Not. The slayers and other dwarfs can join us once we get there.

Your second day into the pines barrens that make up the Eastern Half of Sylvania when you hear something screaming.  

Finding cover you sneak towards the sound.  The bottom of a valley you spot a trio of peasants doing their best to fight off what looks like a gigantic were-bat.  Looking further up the slope you spot a shattered tomb stone and a deep hole.  You have a feeling you know where the colossal beast came from.

I sigh and trap it up to its next in stone with Earthbending.

"Alright, what the hell is going on here..."

"I apologize for harping on this but this is going to be dangerous."

He laughs. "What in life is not?"

"For Morrsleib to be low or high?"

"Low."

I bow respectfully to the man.  "Good (insert time of day), Avatar Roku.  I'm Boru, your erm...current successor.  As you can see....we're in something of a pickle."

I then explain to him where we are what what I know of the world and the major players.  Then I tell him what I am planning to do with Lord Sava, though I make sure to explain what he is and what he wants. I realize the...man is a monster, but he honestly seems to give a damn about his folk and if he'll still give them the same protection even after he no longer needs to feed off them then I see no reason to deny his request.  I just fear the fallout when his...peers, hear about what I did.  Then there's Mandred to contend with....

"That... is a complicated situation," he somewhat understates. "What do you need?"

"Ah, that explains why you're such a delicious treat.  It was all that sugar."  I joke.

She rubs up against you like a cat.

About what any can hope for.  I try not to ask if she hopes to...join her uncle some day...because that'd be a deal breaker for me right then and there.

What's her last name again?

I try to do some information gathering about the state of Sylvania, where Sava stands in the pecking order and who the big movers and shakers are.  I don't mention Mandred as I'm not entirely sure if him back is a widely known thing.

He's minor. Respectable but a lesser vampire. Still one of the family though and greater than the mortals in the family like herself.

A knife and spear are given. Not a massive Bretonnian lance but you can lay about with the thing or stab if need be.

Well the trek is a miserable one. A foul storm from out of the North picks up and soaks the tundra in a miserable downpour.

Once THAT eventually clears and everyone is trying to keep the horses from catching something, one of the riders finds tracks....a massive herd of Beastmen, easily 100 strong, just passed through here to the south. Judging from the tracks there's as least one minotaur and maybe two trolls among them. And considering how the ground is dead around them it's a band sworn to the plauge-lord.

"Alright, what the hell is going on here..."

The beast never stops struggling, (though it doesn't seem to be busting through its prison) as you ask this. The men stare at the unholy monstrosity thrashing about then back at you, then back at the beast. Two of them flee as if the hounds of hell were after them. The third manages to stand his ground.

He finally stutters out. "M-milord. Me and m-my br-brothers were looking after some lost goats when th-that burst of of the ground. But lucky fer us it's daylight and it's starving....is that goin' t'hold it?"

"Another round?"

What's her last name again?

Good point...yeah not wanting to tumble with a corpse. Sorely tempted to see if I can strip the vampirism of Sava

He's minor. Respectable but a lesser vampire. Still one of the family though and greater than the mortals in the family like herself.

"So who're the majors' just incase I run into them? Wasn't Mandred the last one to keep them all in line? And he's been truly dead for years hasn't he? Or have I misheard that?"

Brian Boru wrote:Just beware of the shivving that might result.

... an acceptable risk in my opinion.

A knife and spear are given.  Not a massive Bretonnian lance but you can lay about with the thing or stab if need be.

Pretty much exactly what I wanted. I run a few spear drills - with the number of past lives I have access to, some will have known these, or maybe I got them along with the bending martial arts package - or adapt Airbending staff moves if I can't think of any.

Well the trek is a miserable one.  A foul storm from out of the North picks up and soaks the tundra in a miserable downpour.

I bend up stone shelters for men and horses when we stop and try to mitigate the worst bursts of wind and rain with some airbending techniques.

Once THAT eventually clears and everyone is trying to keep the horses from catching something,

Then I go over the various horses (and men) with waterbending, looking for any signs of infection and getting those healed up.

one of the riders finds tracks....a massive herd of Beastmen, easily 100 strong, just passed through here to the south.  Judging from the tracks there's as least one minotaur and maybe two trolls among them.  And considering how the ground is dead around them it's a band sworn to the plauge-lord.

... well, that's not good. Plus, to my newly spiritual sensibilities, offensive. So, personally, I'm of the opinion we should go find them and then I should kill them with fire.

When I consider it, it wouldn't even be that difficult really. Lightning-snipe down the trolls and minotaur, earth/waterbend to bunch the rest in, then sterilize with air-fed flame.

They take a moment to accept it but eventually needs must force them to take shelter and they thank you for the cover.

They’re all for it.

When I consider it, it wouldn't even be that difficult really. Lightning-snipe down the trolls and minotaur, earth/waterbend to bunch the rest in, then sterilize with air-fed flame.

Well you go after the band. In a small bend of a river you find the beasts….though you smell them long before you see them...they seem to be gorging on a herd of reindeer though some seem to have fallen asleep. How do you go about this?

Normally they’d ride back to the camp to gather a warband to deal with them properly...but they DO have a wizard here….

Well, we can give them a meetup point outside of Kazador's hold.

Lets look at a map.

You manage to find a valley that could hold a large force while at the same time is close enough to Kazador’s keep but not so close as to be a headache.

"What is it."

The peasant doesn’t really know WHAT though he has a vague idea of what it might be.

But its Ungrim that gives you the answer.

“A Varghulf. A Vampire that has been starved of blood for too long or was incapable of containing its blood lust and fell to the beast that lies in everyone of their blacked souls.”

He pulls out his ax, “Best to kill it now before it can escape.”



Getting a better look at the beast you notice the withered dugs that indicate this had been a countess at one point. Possibly buried by Vlad himself when some of his fledglings got too rowdy for his tastes.

I bow and thank him for his advice and let him go back to the beyond...huh...wonder if Morr’s ticked with me for calling up a dead man? For that matter how would the cosmologies line up. Is Morr going to try and nab the guy when he leaves? Would Rava be able to find another if I kicked the bucket and I made new benders? Questions that will need to be answered.

And she Purrs like one it seems…

I seem to have hit the jackpot here….

You could try... he might not like it.

Well maybe not Sava, but if there’s a Vamp that’s pissed me off and no one will miss….might as well and….EXPERIMENT…. Lahmians come to mind, fuck those bitches….and not in a good way.

She gets awkwardly quiet and bites her lip. "Yes, he was. But there are... others with influence. But I'm mortal so as you can guess the full nature of the relationship between immortals is not considered to be of my concern."

“Just as the matters of the high and mighty in the halls of the lords of the Empire and Bretonnia aren't the concerns of their servants. But I’d bet a copper against a Dwarf King’s hoard that they know a shocking amount of what goes on behind closed doors. I’ll take what you can give me.”

If she’s still unwilling to talk on it I won’t press though I’ll try and watch her face and actions as she tells me or doesn't.

I summon some water and start SPIRITBENDING it, trying to calm or even put an end to its hunger.

Note, spirit bending is not energy bending. It's just an attempt to put the spirit of a being in balance (or optionally throw it out of balance).

When you say yes, he nods. "You are a powerful man/ It is only fit that a powerful man he surrounded by wealth and beauty and she is truly a wealth of beauty. She is yours if you will have her. She seems to enjoy your company and it is only fitting that one with your strength have a suitable mistress."

Me? I'll approach using the river. I can waterbend myself passage beneath the surface after all, and get close without arousing suspicion.

Then I'll collect as much water as I can around me and use it to launch myself into the air, riding a twisting and twirling column of liquid. With a spin and a sweep of my spear, I'll send what I've collected down onto them in a rain of ice javelins. That'll leave me without support, but I'll gather up a mass of air and bring it down as I come down, to flatten everything in my immediate vicinity. This, in turn, will let me have enough space to introduce the _big_ ones to some lightning bolts, after which ... well, I did say I was going to use airbending to fuel firebending and _burn_ what's left to ash.

Well both Dwarf and man dive behind a rock, a bit too small for both of them, which results in a short leg booting the Sylvanian out into the open for a moment before he scuttles behind another.

The massive beast ceases its thrashing for a moment as its bloodshot eyes stare at the light-show, seeming to know that something monstrously powerful is in front of it.

The glowing water pulsates around the beast, contracting then releasing in a calm steady manner. At first it seems like nothing's happened...then the beast....shrinks for lack of a better term before vanishing into the bowl that was left behind.

Looking into the bowl you see this laying at the bottom of the bowl. (Sans gruesome behind her...and completely starkers...)

You manage to catch the drop on them with perfect timing. The stunned look on their fanged faces is priceless. Before they can respond their diseased flesh is punctured by a storm of ice Javelins. Killing many of the smaller beasts with foul pus and bile exploding out from their wounds.

The biggers ones, the Minotaur, a gross monstrosity with the mark of Nurgle in the form of pustles all over his body, as well as the trolls survives your first attack. As do many of the Horned Gors, at least 20 of them.

Your air blast knocks a few over but most stand their ground.

The Minotaur then bellows at the top of his lungs, a phlegmy sound that makes your stomach heave just hearing it, as do the trolls and they charge you.

The lighting strikes the bigger troll and dispite their legendary regenerative powers along with the endurance of Nurgle, the beast can’t handle the fury of the lighting and it drops dead.

This makes the others hesitate for a moment. Allowing you do your airburst firebomb….well there isn’t much left afterwards...nothing alive anyway….GOD DOES IT STINK!!!

Considering this is Sylvania that goes without saying...might want to try it in a shrine to Morr if I can find it.

"Very good!"

He seems rather...exuberant….what’s his angle?

"It gets cold on the road does it not?" he smiles.

“Well I won’t deny that...but what does she want? I won’t force her if she doesn’t desire to go with me. And I plan to travel a bit.”

"Thank you."

She’s still cold and pulseless...but she seems much...calmer than any vampire should have a right to be.  How you know this….

It's a start.

Her eyes flutter open and she stares at you… “Where….”  She manages to croak….  Dang being underground for so long really did a number on her...as did whatever the hell it was you managed to pull off.  And yes she’s as weak as a kitten...though how long that lasts is...unknown.

"It's a long story."

I carry her out.

"She's no longer an immediate threat. I'd like to see what long term effects my spirit bending had. This is as good and opportunity to stop for the day."

I earthbend a platform to place her on, do so, then Earthbend a shelter and look to the peasant.

Ungrim REALLY wants to kill her right then and there. But he'll also admit he's vaguely curious just what the hell you did to her.

Once she's out of the sun her...well color isn't the right word but her general appearance is one of returning strength.

She finally manages to sit back up after a few minutes.

"Where am I? How long have I been in that damned crypt. I swear if I ever see Konrad again he'll SUFFER for it. Vlad does not appreciate infighting and even mad Konrad fears to offend his sire."

She's been gone a while.

Can always try again later I guess.

Maybe later no need to start a confrontation right here and now.

The biggers ones, the Minotaur, a gross monstrosity with the mark of Nurgle in the form of pustles all over his body, as well as the trolls survives your first attack.  As do many of the Horned Gors, at least 20 of them.

Your air blast knocks a few over but most stand their ground.

The Minotaur then bellows at the top of his lungs, a phlegmy sound that makes your stomach heave just hearing it, as do the trolls and they charge you.

The lighting strikes the bigger troll and dispite their legendary regenerative powers along with the endurance of Nurgle, the beast can’t handle the fury of the lighting and it drops dead.

This makes the others hesitate for a moment.  Allowing you do your airburst firebomb….well there isn’t much left afterwards...nothing alive anyway….GOD DOES IT STINK!!!

I launch myself into the air on jets of flame and with wide sweeps of my spear I corral the stench and Nurgly bits below. Then I call up the hottest flame I can and basically glass the area.

Once you finish cleaning up the riders slowly approach you with apprehension.

Then almost as one they cheer your name and lift you up on their shoulders. Some men even hand you little trinkets of valuables in their elation.

Who cares if you might blow up one day. If you do that to the foes from the North they couldn't care less.

If she stays here... well... Mannfred von Carstein is the current Vampire Lord of Sylvania and he'd probably find another childe of Vlad to be... a liability to be removed. If you get my drift.

Right then. I make sure Alina is safe and then I leap over the side of the wall making a shockwave of stone rise up infront of me when I land. Then I start shooting beastmen up into the air with pillars of stone before blasting them with fire. If there's a body of water nearby I also start using water whips, ice spikes and tidal waves as well.

Once they're all dead I'll debend the wall check in on Alina and make sure she's alright. Once I've made sure she's alright. I'll make a sort of platform and roll us and any of our belongings to the edge of the nearest town. I'll make sure to debend it all out of sight so I don't get called an unsanctioned wizard and have witch hunters on my ass.

Then I'll lug our stuff over my shoulder and tell them that we got attacked by beastmen up the road and our carriage and driver were killed.
