Mini Game Logs / Re: The Dragon-Turtle Meet 19
Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:05:30 PM20:38 <•Kotono> Lightning strike after lightning strike. Are you going to do anything but stay here and soak them up?
20:40 <Devar> "Do you feel like this is helping you at all?" Devar calls out. "I do think we're diverting the lightning, if nothing else."
20:42 <•Kotono> "I need more! Are you lightning proof?" Storm's Eye calls back.
20:43 <Devar> "You hadn't noticed so far?!" Devar shouts.
20:51 <•Kotono> A laugh at that, "Better to be sure!"
20:52 <Devar> "Do you want me to go higher?" Devar asks, still holding Storm's Eye up. "I admit, I'm not too gifted on how storms work."
20:53 <•Kotono> "Higher! High into the clouds, into where the lightning forms," Storm's Eye says, "Let's kick this up a notch!"
20:54 <Devar> Devar does just that, rising higher into the clouds themselves!
20:57 <•Kotono> So much in the way of lightning. The boom of thunder is loud, but no longer deafening to you, not as you are now. Instead you're hit all over. Arcs of lightning gush towards you and Storm's Eye, drawn in faster and faster as you ascend into the dark clouds.
21:00 <Devar> Devar will keep going until Storm's Eye says to stop!
21:15 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=88 ]{88}
21:15 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+13 ????
21:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 ???? --> [ 1d20=14 ]{27}
21:15 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+12 ????
21:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 ???? --> [ 1d20=5 ]{17}
21:16 <•Kotono> It comes and comes - but the storm's enduring. "No good, it's stronger than I thought, or I'm still not all the way there," Storm's Eye complains, "Feels great, though!"
21:17 <Devar> "Really?" Devar asks. "Well, even so, it must've helped you somehow, so that's good enough for me. Do you want to stay or just go back?"
21:19 <•Kotono> "Would you rather risk lightning strikes starting a fire down there, or hitting somene?" Storm's Eye challenges back. "Right now it's aalllll going to me."
21:20 <Devar> "You've got a point." Devar says, holding Storm's Eye up. "We'll stay until given a reason to go."
21:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=10 ]{10}
21:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+14
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{15}
21:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+13 ????
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 ???? --> [ 1d20=19 ]{32}
21:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+16
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{31}
21:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+13 ????
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 ???? --> [ 1d20=20 ]{33}
21:23 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{33}
21:23 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+13 ????
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 ???? --> [ 1d20=12 ]{25}
21:28 <•Kotono> It takes some time, perhaps a half hour, before Storm's Eye suddenly groans, "Oh...oh boy, it's about to happen! Hold on tight and don't let go!"
21:29 <Devar> "You said that way on purpose!" He shouts, but does as he's asked!
21:29 <Devar> OOC: Said it that way, rather
21:36 <•Kotono> The storm shudders - then the rain sputters, the clouds swirl and with a CRACK of displaced air, the storm abruptly begins to slow down and clouds lighten. "Oh...oh...that stung..." Storm's Eye moans, "Didn't...forgot I could...."
21:38 <Devar> "You all right?" Devar asks, lowering his arm slightly. "Did that jog your memory?"
21:47 <•Kotono> The only answer you get is the sound of Storm's Eye snoring.
21:48 <Devar> Devar silently just starts heading back down - he looks around from the air to where the others might be as he does so - or especially anyone wearing a red mask...
21:55 <•Kotono> OOC: Perception, -1 penalty.
21:55 <Devar> roll 1d20+9 I'll play your game, Kobot
21:55 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+9 I'll play your game, Kobot --> [ 1d20=9 ]{18}
22:03 <•Kotono> You don't see anything that helpful, unfortunately. You do see the fires are at least somewhat contained it looks like - between rain and efforts the spread's been checked for the moment. Hopefully they finish the job. No sign of the others about, however, though the rain complicates it.
22:09 <Devar> Devar will just fly around and see if he can find anyone!
22:12 <•Kotono> It doesn't take long, because Skaya flies up to you and....OOC: Go ahead, chat it out and we'll pause after that.
20:40 <Devar> "Do you feel like this is helping you at all?" Devar calls out. "I do think we're diverting the lightning, if nothing else."

Mini Game Logs / Re: The Dragon-Turtle Meet 19
Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:05:12 PM20:38 <•Kotono> OOC: Just so I don't have to check my notes, where did you send them exactly?
20:39 <Skaya> OOC: Anne is basically with clerics visiting and local, and Sanda with mages, likewise.
20:42 <•Kotono> OOC: Sure.
20:42 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
20:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=76 ]{76}
20:51 <•Kotono> You fly on. Besides the somewhat quenched fire near the gates, you fly on. You end up in a temple in the heart of the city. A large one with a big open space within, dedicated to Selune. The walls are white with black stars and moons engraved, pretty enough one supposes. Here Anne's quietly in discussions with about a dozen others. Some are in robes, some armor, some in plain clothes.
20:53 <Skaya> "Have things been quiet?" Skaya calls out, announcing herself.
20:55 <•Kotono> You get looks, from a dwarf with a beard and a stony stare, just like the stories. Humans, though one has a hint of silver to patches of his skin. It's an array but it's Anne who answers, "Of course not. We're organizing our response. We have some good fortune." That get sa few chuckles. "Fortune here," The silver hinted man is nodded to, "Casts like a sorcerer does, and disease curing is one
20:55 <•Kotono> of his spontaneous spells."
20:56 <•Kotono> "The Golden Dragon's guidance and wisdom never fail me," Is his glib response, giving you a lopsided smile. "Right place, right time. I came here two days ago, meant to live today but I got delayed."
21:04 <Skaya> "Glad to have you here," Skaya tells him. "I think it's about as confirmed as it's going to get that we're working against an adversary that isn't done yet. We've just had an attack by the dragon turtle at the port, and a spontaneous fire followed by a spontaneous storm at the city gates. Be very aware of your own safety as you act to help the residents."
21:11 <•Kotono> "The storm's not the problem," Anne speaks up at that, "Dia did that."
21:13 <•Kotono> "Let me explain," One man steps forward, maybe 60 or so and wearing armor despite it, with the sigil of an open eye against a gauntlet. "Dia's an old friend of mine, and that spell of hers is distinctive. If she cast it, it was for a good reason."
21:13 <Skaya> "Devar's out there playing lightning rod. I'll step out to bring him back instead," Skaya says at that, heading back out.
21:14 <•Kotono> "Good luck," Anne calls as you go. But as you fly back, you see Devar is no longer there.
21:16 <Skaya> Seriously? Skaya tries to fly around a bit to look for any clues.
21:18 <•Kotono> OOC: Perception, let's say.
21:18 <Skaya> roll 1d20+18
21:18 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{31}
21:19 <•Kotono> You eventually spy something higher up - lightning. All the lightning seems to be striking something up in the storm itself, flowing towards that point from all directions in the clouds.
21:21 <Skaya> Yep, not going there. She returns to Anne and the other priests, shrugging. "I think Devar went into the storm. We'll just have to let that play out."
21:25 <•Kotono> "Alright," Anne agrees, "In short: We're preparing resources to treat any plague when it pops up. We've already sent a few off to cure others. Both heroes proof against disease, one who serves Lathander and another who serves Jetina. Since the last plague was so nasty in that it targeted those who cured it, we're not taking chances yet. We're hoping quarantine and decisive action curbs it right
21:25 <•Kotono> away, and preparing how to handle this if not."
21:25 <Skaya> "What about Logan and his pal? Did you try seeing how they respond to magical treatment?"
21:29 <•Kotono> "They're being cured right now," Is the answer, "They'll be useful," Fortune goes on, "And best to make sure they don't get any lingering symptoms."
21:30 <•Kotono> Another adds, "It's insidious. This Brachidos needs three feet of steel shoved through his heart."
21:30 <•Kotono> "If nothing else," Anne goes on, "I'm making sure everyone knows. The more that know, the more that go after him. Even if we don't get him, someone will."
21:30 <Skaya> "Equal odds he's here to direct things," Skaya says with a sigh. "Say, back to the storm. Who is Dia? And how did we not see her cast it? There was no one in the sky."
21:42 <•Kotono> The older man clears his throat, "Dia is a druid who trained with Lorran Silvereye far to the south. She's a veteran of the Blackoath War, if you know history that far removed from this region." Clearing his throat, "But since the past isn't important, the present is that she's a capable druid who has a fairly good scroll collection to supplement what she knows."
21:44 <Skaya> "What's our best way to communicate with her? We're already getting in each other's way, unless this was all some convoluted plot to get Devar into the storm."
21:49 <•Kotono> "She went out," Is the response, "She's a tall human and looks 20, even thoughs he's closer to 70. Black hair, good full figure-" A few of the ladies glare or clear their throats at that, and the man coughs into his hand. "As I was saying, black hair, a dark blue cloak and a traveling dress that moves strangely if you look at it too long."
21:51 <Skaya> "Got it. I'm going to check up on the mages now."
21:55 <•Kotono> "Good luck," Anne calls as you go and do just that.
21:55 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:55 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=95 ]{95}
21:55 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 subtables vs ???
21:55 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 subtables vs ??? --> [ 1d100=14 ]{14}
21:56 <•Kotono> It takes a little time to head over, and as you get close? The storm begins to slacken suddenly, the downpour at last turning into a more reasonable rain.
21:57 — Skaya pauses and looks around for Devar. If he was there. And if he survived.
22:03 <•Kotono> No immediate sign of him at least, or at leats until you see him come out of the clouds and pause, perhaps looking around. Hard to see from this distance.
22:03 — Skaya flies over!
22:08 <•Kotono> OOC: I'll move you into #evil shortly.
20:39 <Skaya> OOC: Anne is basically with clerics visiting and local, and Sanda with mages, likewise.
20:42 <•Kotono> OOC: Sure.
20:42 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
20:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=76 ]{76}
20:51 <•Kotono> You fly on. Besides the somewhat quenched fire near the gates, you fly on. You end up in a temple in the heart of the city.

Mini Game Logs / Re: The Dragon-Turtle Meet 19
Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:04:57 PM20:01 <Skaya> "So you figured out this was an unnatural storm, too?" she calls out to confirm.
20:03 <Devar> "Oh, hey!" Devar calls down. "I thought it was too reminiscent of Dareslan - a storm and all the other things going on. I was hoping Storm's Eye might be able to disrupt the magic in the storm somehow, so, here we are. Oh, I found some of the fruit that was contaminated - I boxed it up and was going to investigate who brought it, before this started."
20:05 <Skaya> "Did you know it started right after we rescued everyone from the burning buildings? Nice timing!"
20:06 <Devar> "It seemed way too concidental to just start all of a sudden. Burning buildings, huh? Everyone okay?" He calls out.
20:08 <Skaya> "No. But we helped all those we could," Skaya says curtly. "What's your plan here?"
20:09 <Devar> "I was just going to keep this up to try and stop the magic." Devar says.
20:09 <Skaya> "Wish there was a good way to tell if there's poison or something in the water itself. Don't suppose you checked?"
20:10 <Devar> "All he could tell was that it was magical - I didn't try to analyze it too much." He admits.
20:11 <•Kotono> "It's a little more than that now that I've gotten a good taste," Storm's Eye speaks up, "It's not just magic, but something unusual. An unique spell."
20:11 <Skaya> At least she told Rina to keep the people out of it, so only the guards will risk prolonged exposure. "Guide me through it?" Skaya requests.
20:11 <Skaya> OOC: Can I spellcraft or something?
20:14 <Devar> "Hold on, I don't know how well this will work, but I'll try..." Devar says as he keeps holding Storm's Eye up. OOC: Detect Magic, take 10 on Spellcraft for 24
20:15 <•Kotono> "It's strong, curated. It's not just Control Weather, but something finer tuned. No, this was made to create storms - thunder storms, hurricanes, blizzards." Storm's Eye declares. Unfortunately, there's no magic besides Storm's Eye around to analyze. The thunderbolts seem non magical, for whatever that's worth. Though now that Devar looks, they seem a little...he doesn't know. Odd? Different?
20:15 <•Kotono> Too bright, too perfect. Too pretty, maybe.
20:16 <•Kotono> OOC: There's no magic aura to analyze here, but you could try K:A, Skaya.
20:16 <Skaya> roll 1d20+16+6
20:16 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+16+6 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}
20:17 <Devar> "It does seem like this was created for a specific purpose." Devar echoes. "It's clearly to distract from something else, or at least that's my guess."
20:22 <•Kotono> It's definitely too fast for Control Weather. A custom spell is most likely, something meant to bring storms. You'd need to see the actual magic or spell to tell more, but what STorm's Eye says makes sense.
20:24 <Skaya> "You know, shouldn't Control Weather's caster be right here? Even if it's a more finicky spell, would you really change that part to cast it from miles away? Can you even do that?"
20:25 <Devar> "If he has a cloak or something to make him invisible, sure." Devar says. "We've been operating that he has some kind of invisibility or something like that, so he certainly could be in town and I don't think we'd know, unless Anne and I wandered around focusing on detecting evil intent or something."
20:26 <•Kotono> "In other words your quarry's being a little coward and striking from the shadows?" Storm's Eye scoffs. "Not a big, strong man like Devar."
20:27 <Skaya> "I'll go make the rounds, then," Skaya decides with a sigh. "I'll check on Sanda and Anne and circle back to Rina unless one of them has a good idea to try. Find me in the sky later? Our patrol schedules got messed up by now."
20:28 <Devar> "You got it. If we can figure anything else out up here, I'll let you know." He agrees.
20:32 <•Kotono> OOC: Going off then, Skaya?
20:32 <Skaya> OOC: Yes, I can't help here. I'll go to Sanda first. I assigned her and Anne to some places in town, so even if I don't know the exact locations OOC I'd know IC!
20:38 <•Kotono> OOC: Sure, #dunes.
20:03 <Devar> "Oh, hey!" Devar calls down. "I thought it was too reminiscent of Dareslan - a storm and all the other things going on. I was hoping Storm's Eye might be able to disrupt the magic in the storm somehow, so, here we are. Oh, I found some of the fruit that was contaminated - I boxed it up and was going to investigate who brought it, before this started."
20:05 <Skaya> "Did you know it started right after we rescued everyone from the burning buildings? Nice timing!"
20:06 <Devar> "It seemed way too concidental to just start all of a sudden. Burning buildings, huh? Everyone okay?" He calls out.
20:08 <Skaya> "No. But we helped all those we could," Skaya says curtly. "What's your plan here?"
20:09 <Devar> "I was just going to keep this up to try and stop the magic." Devar says.
20:09 <Skaya> "Wish there was a good way to tell if there's poison or something in the water itself. Don't suppose you checked?"
20:10 <Devar> "All he could tell was that it was magical - I didn't try to analyze it too much." He admits.
20:11 <•Kotono> "It's a little more than that now that I've gotten a good taste," Storm's Eye speaks up, "It's not just magic, but something unusual. An unique spell."
20:11 <Skaya> At least she told Rina to keep the people out of it, so only the guards will risk prolonged exposure. "Guide me through it?" Skaya requests.
20:11 <Skaya> OOC: Can I spellcraft or something?
20:14 <Devar> "Hold on, I don't know how well this will work, but I'll try..." Devar says as he keeps holding Storm's Eye up. OOC: Detect Magic, take 10 on Spellcraft for 24
20:15 <•Kotono> "It's strong, curated. It's not just Control Weather, but something finer tuned. No, this was made to create storms - thunder storms, hurricanes, blizzards." Storm's Eye declares. Unfortunately, there's no magic besides Storm's Eye around to analyze. The thunderbolts seem non magical, for whatever that's worth. Though now that Devar looks, they seem a little...he doesn't know. Odd? Different?
20:15 <•Kotono> Too bright, too perfect. Too pretty, maybe.
20:16 <•Kotono> OOC: There's no magic aura to analyze here, but you could try K:A, Skaya.
20:16 <Skaya> roll 1d20+16+6
20:16 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+16+6 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}

Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:04:35 PM19:03 <•Kotono> Speed serves Skaya well. She's just in time, grabbing the last two just as there's a horrible, screaming noise from above, and she moves fast as she can...OOC: Ref save, +8 circumstance bonus. Speed saved two lives nad gave you a nice bonus to resist being caught in something.
19:05 <Skaya> OOC: Bot please
19:06 → Kobot joined (~dunefar@DBBE83F6.BB552E26.9534F94D.IP)

19:08 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+10+8+7 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{31}
19:08 <Skaya> OOC: Evasion
19:10 <•Kotono> Skaya beats out the roof, diving out as it collapses with a mighty CRASH! THe last two victims are taken out safely, as you land roughly but safely on the streets. Cheers go up from people watching at your braverly, while meanwhile Rina emerges from the building next door, also on fire, carrying out an old woman. "Building's clear," Rina calls out, unbothered by the heat and smoke. "She was
19:10 <•Kotono> the last one!"
19:10 <Skaya> "Get them all over here!" Skaya calls out, before using her power to heal all the rescued victims.
19:10 <Skaya> roll 3d6
19:10 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6 --> [ 3d6=12 ]{12}
19:17 <•Kotono> Victims mend. So does Rina, who trots over to get fixed up. "Thanks. You're pretty good at that, just like Anne. You really figured out how to copy her?" Meanwhile the victims cough and moan, healing and resting amid the panic. A waterline is started, soldiers going to the nearest well. Others try and make fire banks, even as the fires burn.
19:18 •Kotono set the topic: Skaya: 67/67 Devar 77/78 Anne 76/77 Sanda 55/55 Rina 73/73
19:19 <Skaya> "I was pretty close to getting it right in Dareslan," Skaya affirms with a nod. "What happened here?"
19:22 <•Kotono> "Fire, no idea on the cause." Rina shakes her head briefly, guiding you a bit away for a moment of privacy. "City fires like this are always terrible, because they can spread so easily. I-" Rina scowls and looks up. What was clear skies turn dark, as stormcloud suddenly gather from nothing. In moments a crack of thunder and suddenly a torrential downpour erupts out from above.
19:24 — Skaya sighs. "The timing is just atrocious. Are the guards that came with you alright? Are they investigating or looking through the buildings?"
19:25 <•Kotono> "It's not all bad." Rina remarks, raising her voice. The burning buildings are at least partially quenched by this, as then a loud, carrying woman's voice, "Soldiers, don't stop! Get those fire banks going! The storm will help, but we all need to do our parts!"
19:26 <•Kotono> "They're trying to put out the fires," Rina's next remark is as she looks around. "Can't investigate when the building's on fire."
19:26 <Skaya> "I fought a dragon turtle," Skaya muses. "There's zero chance this could happen at the same time on accident."
19:26 <•Kotono> "Magic," Rina agrees with that. "It has to be."
19:28 <•Kotono> Then after a beat, "The fires or the storm?"
19:30 <Skaya> "I'd bet on the fires but you never know," Skaya responds after a brief reflection. "I'll leave you here and fly around to look for anything out of the ordinary. Keep the peace, and we'll investigate the source of the fires later? Ah, and if there's a criminally-lit fire, a lot of the times the arsonist returns to watch it. So keep an eye out for people who don't belong here."
19:34 <•Kotono> To your surprise, Rina blinks and then looks abashed. "...it's pretty," she mutters, sounding mortified.
19:36 <Skaya> "Yes it is. So look for other people who think that, or who look extra concerned and helpful without actually having a legitimate reason being here during a quarantine," Skaya tells her patiently, and then she takes off! Straight up and into the storm.
19:36 <Skaya> OOC: Can I use knowledge nature or arcane to figure out if it's a natural storm?
19:36 <Skaya> OOC: Either way, I want to see if there's anything new I can see from above in town. If nothing, I'll fly over to where Sanda would be.
19:39 <•Kotono> OOC: K:N, I suppose.
19:41 <Skaya> roll 1d20+16
19:41 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{25}
19:44 <•Kotono> It's not a natural storm. Storms don't usually gather hyper fast like that after all. Definitely someone throwing some powerful magic around.
19:47 <Skaya> Sanda it is! Though if Skaya sees another event happening within town limits or an archmage cackling to himself Skaya would investigate that first. "Have people stay out of the rain," she tells Rina upon briefly descending, and then she's off for real.
19:55 <•Kotono> It's not hard to see something. In the distance, a figure holds something up in the rain. It's lit by lightning strike after lightning strike in the air gathering to it, rather than slamming down below.
19:56 <Skaya> Let's go take a look! Maybe that's Devar! Maybe that's a strangely helpful mage!
20:00 <•Kotono> Skaya flies over and...OOC: #evil.

Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:04:11 PM19:06 <•Kotono> Checking deeply, you see that some of the fruit - apples as it happens to be - are dusted with a familiar mold.
19:06 → Kobot joined (~dunefar@DBBE83F6.BB552E26.9534F94D.IP)
19:09 <Devar> Devar frowns. He will find an empty container to start moving the dusted fruit into - including anything else that was close by and may have been contaminated.
19:15 <•Kotono> That's done well enough. It's quite a few apples, now quarantined.
19:17 <Devar> Devar will mark the crate with a skull and carry it out, staying a bit away from the guards. "I found the contaminated apples and put them in here. Where's the best place to dispose of them?"
19:18 <•Kotono> The guard visibly recoils, "Poisoned? How are they contaminated?!" He gets ewll away from them.
19:19 <Devar> "They have the mold on them that's been causing the sickness." Devar explains. "I'd like to think Skaya has handled things from all aspects, but do you have any sort of inventory list that I could see to see who delivered these? Just in case we have another culprit."
19:24 <•Kotono> "I can go get it-" A stop as suddenly the skies darken. Huh? In moments it goes from summer to storm, as in a few heartbeats the sky is dark and a cloudburst happens. Rain gushes down. Thunder crackles with it, as if a storm came from nothing.
19:29 <Devar> Devar frowns again. Was the storm in Dareslan man-made? "Hold that thought for now, I'm going to leave this here so no one meddles with it." He explains, putting the box back into the warehouse. "I'll be back." He says, summoning Storm's Eye and flying straight up. "Hey, can you determine if this is a magical storm - and if so, do you think you can stop it?"
19:34 <•Kotono> Storm's Eye yaaaawns loudly. "Good afternoon to you too," he says before, "Smells magical. Good lightning, but it's all gussied and then hussied up."
19:35 <Devar> "Good morning!" Devar says, flying higher and towards the clouds themselves. "Can you absorb it, you think?"
19:39 <•Kotono> "The lightning? I make a good lightning rod," A chuckle of amusement, "Wouldn't mind some straight from the tap."
19:40 <Devar> Maybe it'll disrupt the magic causing the rain. "Okay, do I just... hold you up? Is there something else you want me to do?" Devar asks. "Please don't say 'yes, rub along my shaft' or something."
19:45 <•Kotono> "Hold me up over your head and don't let go," Storm's Eye advises, "Hahahahaha, please, only if Anne was holding me, or maybe Sanda. Rina too, and Skaya....mmmmm....hahahahahahahaha."
19:46 <Devar> "You're the worst sometimes." Devar says as he holds Storm's Eye high above his head! "Show me what you can do!"
19:55 <•Kotono> A few more booms of thunder until CRACK! White light all around you as Storm's Eye laughs. Lightning slams into the spear, yet not a jolt passes onto you. Your eyes are clear despite the flash of light, as it happens again and again. You definitely have an effective lightning rod.
19:56 <Devar> He does wince once - but then remembers that this can't actually harm him, so he stays strong. A beacon of peace in a turbulent storm. "Let's keep it up!" He shouts.
20:01 <•Kotono> More and more lightning comes, strike after strike. Storm's Eye is almost purring a the constant influx, as meanwhile Skaya flies closer, close enough to see who it is and what's happening - even with bright flash after bright flash.

Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:03:27 PM20:42 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, what's your plan here, DevaR?
20:43 <Devar> OOC: He will just keep an eye on things from the air and help out where needed for the time being to help calm things down. If he sees any cargo or anything he'll try and grab it.
20:49 <•Kotono> OOC: Sure. Perception for all of that.
20:50 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 20 because I am boring
21:00 <•Kotono> OOC: Fair.
21:05 <•Kotono> Devar pulls out a few things here and there, but most of its sunk. Still, it's something. Panic is giving way to order now, at least at the docks.
21:06 <Devar> Devar will stay to help anyone else who needs some. If things feel like they've back to "normal" after about 10 minutes he'll regroup with his guard cohort to continue his original investigation.
21:13 <•Kotono> Things here do seem to be calming down, at least as much as they're going to for some time.
21:13 <Devar> Devar gives the docks one more fly-by before he heads back to the cooling warehouse!
21:17 <•Kotono> OOC: Perception here, +4 circumstance bonus.
21:18 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 24 because I am boring
21:23 <•Kotono> OOC: Kobot's gonna be out a job at this rate.
21:23 <•Kotono> You return to the cooled warehouse without incident. Only a pair of guards outside, who give you nods as you approach.
21:24 <Devar> Devar nods and will head back in - to the section he was going to investigate originally - the newer foodstuff.
21:27 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me another PErception check then.
21:29 <Devar> OOC: you guessed it, take 10 for 20
21:33 <•Kotono> Nothing seems awry with the goods stored here, at least to Devar's searches.
21:35 <Devar> Devar will give it a once-over with Detect Magic to be sure, but after that will move on!
21:36 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:36 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=8 ]{8}
21:36 <•Kotono> OOC: Spellcraft.
21:38 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 24
21:39 ⇐ Kobot quit ↔ •Kotono (was Ko; promoted to owner, opped) nipped out
21:43 <•Kotono> Luck is with you. You happen to move aside just the right fruit, and you get a sudden, different aura you can just make out beneath the aura that the warehouse provides.
21:45 <Devar> Devar will carefully move the fruit to investigate further - is it the fruit themselves, or something else in there?
21:55 <•Kotono> Devar goes to investigate more....next time! OOC: Family is family and it's about time, so more next time.
20:43 <Devar> OOC: He will just keep an eye on things from the air and help out where needed for the time being to help calm things down. If he sees any cargo or anything he'll try and grab it.
20:49 <•Kotono> OOC: Sure. Perception for all of that.

21:13 <•Kotono> Things here do seem to be calming down, at least as much as they're going to for some time.
21:13 <Devar> Devar gives the docks one more fly-by before he heads back to the cooling warehouse!
21:17 <•Kotono> OOC: Perception here, +4 circumstance bonus.
21:18 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 24 because I am boring
21:23 <•Kotono> OOC: Kobot's gonna be out a job at this rate.
21:23 <•Kotono> You return to the cooled warehouse without incident. Only a pair of guards outside, who give you nods as you approach.
21:24 <Devar> Devar nods and will head back in - to the section he was going to investigate originally - the newer foodstuff.
21:27 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me another PErception check then.
21:29 <Devar> OOC: you guessed it, take 10 for 20
21:33 <•Kotono> Nothing seems awry with the goods stored here, at least to Devar's searches.
21:35 <Devar> Devar will give it a once-over with Detect Magic to be sure, but after that will move on!
21:36 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:36 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=8 ]{8}
21:36 <•Kotono> OOC: Spellcraft.
21:38 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 24
21:39 ⇐ Kobot quit ↔ •Kotono (was Ko; promoted to owner, opped) nipped out
21:43 <•Kotono> Luck is with you. You happen to move aside just the right fruit, and you get a sudden, different aura you can just make out beneath the aura that the warehouse provides.
21:45 <Devar> Devar will carefully move the fruit to investigate further - is it the fruit themselves, or something else in there?
21:55 <•Kotono> Devar goes to investigate more....next time! OOC: Family is family and it's about time, so more next time.

Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:03:06 PM20:46 <•Kotono> Skaya flies up. It's not hard to see as she heads south. Several buildings near the gates are burning, smoke rising from them. As you approach, you see Rina leap out of a second story window, flames licking harmlessly at her and a young man in her arms. She grimaces at the landing but makes it, a shudder through her. OOC: Taking 10 on Arobatics for 27,
20:46 <•Kotono> roll 1d6 still
20:46 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6 still --> [ 1d6=2 ]{2}
20:46 •Kotono set the topic: Skaya: 67/67 Devar 77/78 Anne 76/77 Sanda 55/55 Rina 71/73
20:47 — Skaya is quite fast, perhaps the fastest person in this town! She swoops to the south to help with the rescue!
21:00 <•Kotono> Skaya swoops on in. A deft landing as she sees people have fled - but up there! A third story window, a woman cries, "Help!"
21:01 <Skaya> Fire resistance, don't fail me now! Skaya touches down on the windowsill and then pushes off the frame after grabbing hold of the woman.
21:10 <•Kotono> OOC: What's your fire res?
21:10 <Skaya> OOC: 30. I'm good!
21:13 <•Kotono> Grabbed. She clings to you, shaking as the flames do nothing to you. "T-there's more inside," she gasps out.
21:14 <Skaya> "Don't worry," Skaya assures her after setting the woman down on the ground. "Wait here and I'll patch all of you up in a bit." She then heads back in, except this time she'd try to bring the residents out two at a time.
21:17 <•Kotono> Deeper in the flames are intense, along with the smoke. Thick, foul smoke that your enhanced lungs help with. lying on the floor of a burning room are eight people, all young men and women. The walls are ablaze and it's spreading, fast.
21:21 — Skaya splashes all eight and their surroundings with water from one of the barrels kept in her haversack, before picking up two of them and heading swiftly outside. The water might reduce visibility but she already has a mental map of the area, and it should help them survive a bit longer. That's all she needs to get them out two at a time.
21:22 <•Kotono> The water quenches the flames for now, two down. Then four. As you retun for five and six, the flames are picking up. The ceiling is creaking down, the smoke deeply obscuring things by now.
21:23 <Skaya> She'll just have to risk it, now! With her wings pressing two people Skaya arranged over her shoulders, she grabs the last pair with her arms and dashes out! It's true there's no way she could fly this way, but she can make that sort of jump easily!
21:28 <•Kotono> OOC: I have to ask, what's your strength score?
21:28 <Skaya> OOC: It's 19, Skaya is very strong
21:33 <•Kotono> Skaya manages to lift three, but a fourth? It's too much, and even three is a mighty strain, reduced to going one step at a time. OOC: Max lift at 19 is 350 pounds, you can just barely manage three.
21:35 <Skaya> OOC: I want to drop a Wind Wall behind us to blow all five of us towards the window I entered through, can this make it work?
21:37 <•Kotono> OOC: Wind walls are vertical, not horizontal. It'll push you up, not ahead.
21:39 → Ko joined (~WinNT@BCCF5CF2.F2F44447.16485387.IP)
21:40 <Skaya> There's really little she can do, so Skaya activates her boots of speed and takes off with just two people. She'll be able to return all the faster, and then she'll deal with the flames and the falling roof!
21:41 ⇐ •Kotono quit (~WinNT@E5CEAA21.BB552E26.9534F94D.IP) Ping timeout: 180 seconds
21:42 ⇐ Kobot quit • Ko → •Kotono (promoted to owner, opped)
21:43 <•Kotono> OOC: Movement speed under that?

Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:02:07 PM20:28 <Devar> "I lost it eventually, it's a lot faster than you'd expect." Devar says, flying over to Skaya. "But it was only going in one direction. I worry that without the ability to breathe in the water it'll be an issue, but we can probably pass the Ring around to help with that if you want to pursue it."
20:28 — Skaya nods at Devar, asking the sailor, "What was the ship's name and its cargo?"
20:30 <•Kotono> "The Lucky Mermaid and it carried tarkwood and spices," Is the answer, as a young man races up. "A-are you Skaya?" is the question, breathless.
20:31 <Skaya> "That's me," she responds, filing the ship's information in her mind.
20:36 <•Kotono> "Miss R-Rina asked for you. There's fire down south, by the gates," Is the answer, "A-arson."
20:37 <Skaya> "Good thing we split up," Skaya says. "Thanks for the notice. Devar, keep an eye out here? I'll fly over to help."
20:38 <Devar> "All these things happening at once can't be a coincidence." Devar says. "Sure, I hadn't completed the food inventory yet either, but I'll get back to that once this has calmed down."
20:39 — Skaya nods and then rises sharply into the air. A fire serious enough would be seen. If it's not, she'll touch down again and question that runner some more.
20:42 <•Kotono> OOC: #dunes, Skaya.

Last post by Corwin - June 07, 2025, 12:01:58 PM19:21 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me a quick Perception check. +2 circumstance bonus.
19:21 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 22
19:25 <•Kotono> You can follow it. It's heading back out to the ocean at a high speed - it's big and it moves fast. Easy trail to follow, at least as lon gas you don't fall too behind and it stays clear enough to see. It's heading straight out to sea, anyway, and sinking down as it does.
19:26 <Devar> Devar will continue to follow it, if it ends up going to a cave or something specific he can at least note it. Also, wasn't one of those Clearwater pieces supposed to be out here...? He can't really look for it right now, but he makes a mental note for later.
19:37 <•Kotono> OOC: What's your movement speed here?
19:39 <Devar> OOC: Great question - it's 30ft base, so I am guessing 30ft since I'm not flying but have freedom of movement.
19:41 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay.
19:41 <•Kotono> Unfortunately, the dragon turtle moves fast in the water - you're rapidly falling behind.
19:43 <Devar> For the time being, he'll keep going even if he loses it - it looked like it was still going down, right? So he'll just keep going in that direction - if he doesn't see something specific after a few minutes he'll go up.
19:49 <•Kotono> OOC: PErception again then.
19:50 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 20 if no bonus
19:57 <•Kotono> It's no good. AS it gets darker away from the shore, it vanishes under the waves and into the gloom. There's simply not much to track as the currents fade and return to normal, but it's out well past the shoreline and still going down when you last saw it.
19:58 <Devar> That far down, huh? This will be a bit more complicated. He'll head back up towards the surface for now, unless something catches his eye somewhere.
20:20 <•Kotono> Thus Devar begins to return as...OOC: I'll merge you back in shortly.

19:26 <•Kotono> It helps. You manage to save some people. Not all, but...there's only one of you. A few other help, strong swimmers diving in and helping, but it's too much. Some were already gone or went down too quickly, or...still, as the minutes pass, you save lives.
19:28 <Skaya> It's impossible to save everyone, but inspiring people is an entirely different things. "Gather all the wounded around me!" Skaya commands, and once that had been arranged she makes a decent facsimile of divine power to heal them.
19:28 <Skaya> roll 3d6 channel

19:38 <•Kotono> That helps more. The injured are gathered amid the chaos, guards and sailors helping. The injured are healed, the wounded are restored. The broken ship sinks beneath the waves in the meantime, as cries and panic give way to dogged orders. Soldiers control the scene, ragged and tired.
19:39 <Skaya> Still no Rina? Skaya will give her more time as she dives underwater to try and see if there's anyone that could still be recovered. At worst, she'll make sure the families will have something to bury.
19:48 <•Kotono> OOC: Got a swims kill or freedom of movement?
19:50 <Skaya> OOC: I do have a swim skill and I can also ignore difficult terrain with the belt, I'm sure it'd help with all the crap in the water now

20:19 — Skaya then attempts to discover what happened, questioning those people she'd cured. They had to have been close to the action, after all.
20:26 <•Kotono> It's mostly panic. "I saw it, I saw it," An old sailor says, "It ripped otu from the waves and tore the ship, flying on wings of water. So fast, fast like a storm wind." Meanwhile Devar begins to make it back, emerging from the waters.
