...smurf, I got distracted.![]()
I'm yelling at some tree humanoids in Orcish to no response, but the number 34 seemed to set something off in them...
The cast:
Rakses, a fledgling member of the Pathfinder Society, charged to escort Lady Enyale on her way to the city of Absalom.
Enyale, starting her Life Journey, a time in every elf's life when they travel the land and learn of other cultures and places
The story thus far:
Rakses showed up at the tavern in Thorngrove. There were militia men and farmers and an odd brown-skinned man there. Rakses took up a seat at the bar as everyone kinda' tried to ignore him since his heritage, as it does, got in his way of making friends
after chatting with the slightly more tolerant barkeep, Rufus, Rakses was roused from his drink when a tall, exotic and mysteriously beautiful elven woman walked in. The bar fell silent as all the yokels set eyes on her. After meeting Rakses, her contact and escort, the woman set about making the local militia men uncomfortable enough to leave.
Enyale, the elven woman, offered a drink to the foreigner and he took it as a sign that the two of them would become 'fast friends' after some uncomfortable moments for Rakses, it seemed Amir the foreigner and Enyale were destined for a great future together, however Enyale's finely tuned elven ears heard an odd humming sound coming from outside.
A few moments later, five golden locusts the size of small dogs crashed into the bar and instantly began to tear apart the furniture! The farmers bolted and Enyale called to her future lover and asked that he protect her.
Amir didn't quite see the benefit of this plan and double-timed it out the door a moment after the farmers. he let out a loud scream shortly thereafter. Rufus and Rakses set about bashing the metallic locusts while Enyale assessed the situation from the bar.
After a moment, she had decided not to sit and wait, and blasted one of the beasts with a ray of frost. She then stepped to another one and sliced through it with her bladed fan of death.
Not to be outdone, Rakses leaped onto a table and slashed one of the beasts in half, then stabbed another and smashed it into pieces against the wall. With the immediate threat neutralized, the three went outside, as now the buzzing sounds had intensified.
The scene was disturbing to say the least - thousands of these mechanical beasties had laid waste to the small collection of wooden buildings. While the militia and farmers were still trying to stop the locusts, there were simply too many.
With the town ruined with the exception of Rufus' tavern, the militia leader, Jones, got all of the people into safety there. Jones told the two an old crone, Raven, may have more of an idea what or who could have done this and why, but said he and his men wouldn't brave the journey to her home as she was not very friendly to uninvited guests.
Enyale decided to go and seek this woman out and help the villagers. Rakses agreed as it was his job to see her to Absalom safely, even if she took a detour.
So the two set off, in the dark of night, for a three hour walk to the old Raven's house. When almost there, Enyale was watching the stars as she asked Rakses about his heritage. The half-orc noticed they were being watched by three foot tall tree people that were rooted into the ground. After the two discussed what to do at length, he got impatient and simply roared at them. Seeing them sit motionless, he walked ahead along the path. Enyale dashed to keep up and then they both broke into a sprint as they passed the beasts.
Just then a haggard old woman stepped out into the path and yelled at the 'trespassers'
...and so the first session came to a close.
