Thursday, November 2, 2017

Before the Mockery

 * We approach. 2 hobgoblin guards, 1 old elf emerges from the tent (dark skin green eyes): Hadrian.
 * “You must be the fighters Tirah sent.” He leads us inside a tent.
 * He feeds us and explains: this is a tournament, 3 teams to fight:
 * Viridian Blade: honorable humans, “fair fight” most likely.
 * Wild Bond: halflings
 * Children of Winter: humans
 * Teams of 3, tag in for others; fight til you’re knocked out.
 * Everyone will have tricks up their sleeve.
 * 6 red potions (healing), 3 blue (armor), 3 black (poison) - 1 CLW each, Vikrit/Vanesse/Mogen take blue; Tork/Sarienne/
 * Our team name: Kalti karts presents The Wolf Sharks
 * Vikrit and Sarienne go stalking. Tracks leaving camps. Giant stone obelisks. (Solomon’s rock, where tourney will be)
 * There’s some kind of bird perched high up. They approach. In center is a scorched circle with a hexagon. There are a couple small rocks, no obvious obstacles. - Sarienne finds 3 daggers hidden and 3 thunderstones.
 * Looking for Druid tracks. ~ 30 mins later go into the forest. Little valley with a huge stump with branches sprouting out–treehouse. ATTACKED BY A DIRE HAWK AND FUCKED UP, 8 dmg. They run after a mist fills the area. (REST, AP/HP restored)

Guy with flask throws at Vanesse, Tork uses Mage Hand to catch it and throw it back at him (it’s acid). Dagger guy tries to stab Vikrit, but V rakes his arm. Sarienne starts choking the female fighter with the shocking grasp gloves.
 * V gets stabbed for 6 dmg (at 11 HP) and bites his arm, severing an artery. He drops out. Huge dude charges Vanesse and punches her. She uppercuts him and he grapples her. Acid guy throws the flask at both Vanesse and the big dude.

Round 2

 * ROUND 2: Halflings are up next. They have their dinosaurs.
 * Everybody but V makes more bets. Vanesse gets ripped off by the bookie.
 * Vesun: 5, Sarienne 6, Vanesse 1.
 * Vesun casts Guidance on Vanesse and Sarienne. Vikrit sneaks over to the dinosaurs. One monk attacks Vanesse, she attacks him. One monk has quarterstaff, goes into center, punches him.
 * Vikrit reaches the dinosaurs. There is a halfling behind them chanting.
 * One of the monks is attacking Vesun from behind, Sarienne choke-grabs a monk in the center. They release the dinos and one halfling in leather armor gets on one to replace the one who Sarienne knocked out.
 * A dinosaur gets knocked out. Vikrit gets his ass beat and is grappled (15 nonlethal). Tork missiles 2 of the halflings. Lots of punching ensues. Vikrit gets knocked out, the guy casting is done and a guy riding a pterodactyl swooping in with a lance on fire.
 * Tork’s weasel freezes a guy’s foot. Vesun orders the pterodactyl to fall, the guy riding it tumbles and lands on his feet. Vanesse sits on the pterodactyl. The guy surrounded by Vesun and Sarienne taps out, and we win!
 * Tork shakes Vikrit awake
 * Mogen corrects the announcer: “Kalti Karts: They’ll Get You Where You’re Going”. EVERYONE BUT V IS RIIIICH!!
 * 1 more fight, then the next leg of the tournament tomorrow.
