>>66877
"Well it matches the description that the men gave me..."

>>66877
*Ears perk*
"Company?"

>>66879
>totally ignored
"It looks like there's lots of 'em!" she says, as more movement starts to become noticeable along the wall. Some of the forms lift off the wall and maintain an airborne position (respective to their perspective).

>>66882
Torc decides that if Slovenia blows herself up so be it, and focusses on the flying things.
"Well, I think they don't see us as friendly"

>>66882
Tracy seems earily murderous curious, as she transforms and leaps off the edge of the ship, tumbling to provoke no AoOs as she drifts down to meet the figures.

>>66882
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE get inside!"

>>66883
"How do you know?" to Torcuil. Then to the distant shapes. "HEEEEEEEEEY! HIIIIIIIIIIII!"
>>66884
Hold that thought,....

[1d20+7 = 11]
>>66886
"Normally when people build walls they wanna be left alone..."
Snek fort to see if he makes it past hungover

Brown is the ship, thin lines are range increments (30' and 60'). The wall is at ~90'

>>66888
Checked
Tracy draws her weapons as she makes her flaming sumersault off of the ship.

>>66888
Checked, why do I feel like this'll end badly.
"I love genocide and murder as much as you guys. But please don't try and kill everyone."

[1d20-4 = -16]
"Why would we kill people?" Addy says as...

[1d20+30 = 45]
>>66889
Tumble check to impress anyone who sees.

... an arrow resoundingly <THUD> suddenly appears in her chest. "Hey,..." she says, falling backward slowly.

>>66893
Torc, orginally wanting to make allies, now has glowing blue eyes as he looses a chain lightning directly at the people on the wall.

>>66889
Shortly after, one of the figures accellerates and descends to intercept, the rest are holding their positions in formation.

>>66890
"me wont attack unless they savages."

>>66893
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

>>66895
She's tumbling, so it wouldn't get an AoO.
She's a large sized creature though, so can she get an AoO in, for it entering her threatened space?

>>66898
Look at the map, they're still at range. They're along the top of the wall, except for the pursuer

>>66899
Can she attack it with her chain?

>>66900
Not yet, its closing fast, but won't be in range until next round

>>66901
Okay, well, Tracy has a readied action to stab literally everyone on the wall with a flying whirlwind attack, if the pursuer is in reach by then, she'll stab him too.
She leaped off with a running start, so it shouldn't take her longto reach out to reach the wall.

[12d20 = 110]
>>66902
Sounds good. First though, Torcuil is making like Mike Pence.

[18d6 = 61]
>>66903
Hmmmm, DC is 21 and I don't know what modifiers are. But bowman number 5? He must have been gay.

>>66904
Funny enough, 'bowman $5' is the only one who survived. In a chaotic display of electro-technics (is that a term? It should be Xp) Torcuil successfully dispatches 10 of the immediate threats with ease, their dilapidated and singed corpses (they're still at a distance, but they're singed) fall back to rest on the top of the wall. The wall is several hundred feet tall, I just thought I'd mention, for visualization.
As the forms land along the top of the wall, the one remaining (stationary) target falls back and ascends to a defensive position. In addition, the one pursuing Tracy banks to head back toward the top of the wall. Further, a long and low siren starts playing all across the wall, and in the distance (on either side) movement starts.

>>66895
*cure critical wounds on addy*

>>66905
Does it move past Tracy? Can she stab it?

>>66905
Ironic and confusing.

The individuals and their mounts (in all the commotion and increasing progress, it becomes apparent that they are humanoids riding on winged creatures. large winged lizards, with only 2 legs and a long, hooked tail) do not engage, the two remaining fall back while more figures lift of and begin to progress toward the party's position.
>>66907
No, it veers off before it closes in range, travelling at 120'/round (2x speed)

[4d20 = 55]
Now, everyone roll for initiative
1st is Addy
2nd is Slovenia
3/4th is the two who are alive and in range.

[1d20+5 = 10]
[1d20+2 = 14]
>>66911
Torc (+2), then Snek (+5)

Okay. The order is Tracy, Infernius, Addy, #5, Torcuil, Slovenia, and #2. At the moment.

Tracy cast Blacklight on herself, enclosing everything within a 70 foot radius in a void of pure darkness.
she then speeds towards the wall with a move action, preparing to strike every moving creature within reach.

Oops, forgot Snek. He's last tho

>>66915
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
*casts earthquake*

K. Tracy closes distance with her former pursuer, staying just out of melee range, but closing to about 20' (at an accellerated speed, cuz otherwise it would take several rounds to close)
Infernius' turn

>>66919
How many targets are on the wall?

Updated. Flanking support is on both sides of the wall, out of range but closing. They're not an immediate threat, and outside Torcuil are out of range

Infernius casts Earthquake, causing the ground deep below to shudder uncontrollably. Cracks run up the walls, and they seem to shift slightly, but they remain standing.

Addy, healed by Infernius, stands up. "RUUUUUUDE!" she yells, as she tweaks her necklace and is suddenly surrounded by shadow and darkness.

#5 departs (in air) toward the north.

Torc realize channeling electricity to his eyeballs isn't the best idea. He then gives himself some nice mage armor, and activates his blinking jewelry.

[3d20 = 47]
>Mage Armor
>Blinking
K
"This should be interesting," Slovenia says, throwing a lever.
The 3 fore-cannons fire.

2 of the 3 cannon shots collide with the wall, causing a tremendous CRASH. The wall shifts uncertainly, and the attention of those over it are momentarily diverted.
#2 veers off to the south along the wall, largely parallelling the movements of #5 except in the opposite direction

Tracy gets an AoO on the former pursuer, as he departs

Current (outside Tracy's AoO)

[1d20+24 = 32]
>>66928
Blacklight provides total concealment: Sneak attack with spiked chain.

The blackened sphere that contains Tracy shoots out a line of spiked chain which whips up and around the target, gashing him as it swings. He takes a noticeable wound on his shoulder, and looks back with contempt as he continues his flight to the south.
Now, Tracy's full turn. The individual has moved again out of range, but can be reached in a single move action.

[1d20+26 = 38]
>>66931
Fug, that's a lot of hit points and a skilled rider.
Tracy closes distance with #2 in a Spirited Charge (double damage), then makes another Sneak Attack, as a ride-by attack with her lacerating chain, hoping to slash right through him as she speeds towards the other group.

Tracy's ride-by hits, and she's now positioned (?) south 'between' her pursuer and the group of increasingly agitated (and on the verge of taking flight) additional combatants. Roll damage.

[2d4+6 = 12]
>>66933
Weapon damage

[8d6 = 29]
>>66934
x2 brings that up to 24
now for sneak sneak damage, and precise strike

[1d6 = 4]
>>66935
messed up. Add precise strike damage to the weapon damage

>>66936
So, 16, x2 cuz spirited charge, is 32 damage from the spiked chain attack
Which, in this case, doesn't get the sneak attack damage.

[1d20 = 20]
Alright. As a quick recap, the party is currently about to fly over the Sil wall, having dispatched 10 of them - humanoids on flying mounts (Wyverns) - with another dozen on the left and on the right. Tracy has just finished a strategic attack and is positioned between one of the fliers and his reinforcements.
Meanwhile, as Addy stands up and activates her darkness necklace, Infernius begins to flip out, because she hasn't yet realized that there is an arrow sticking out of her chest.
Infernius attempts a grapple against her.

>>66952
nice

[1d20 = 3]
Succeeding in his grapple, all he manages to accomplish is irritate Addy, who without hesitation <swooosh> shadow-steps out of his grasp and is now 5' to the side.
"THAT'S why she calls you an Oaf!"
With a <CLACK> she opens the folding saw, and jumps off the edge of the ship.

#5 maintains his position elevated over the left-side reinforcements, and fires an arrow at Infernius, while Addy stumbles in her landing and collapses in a heap.

>>66955
Oof

Torc casts fly on himself and heads towards the group Tracy isn't pursuing.
>Waits

Slovenia also waits, her hoof on the cannon firing controls. #2, bleeding profusely and observably FUBAR, veers away from Tracy and attempts to circumvent her to get to the reinforcements on the right.

[1d20+26 = 43]
>>66958
Attack of opportunity, stabbing the rider in the back (with chain)

[8d6 = 30]
>>66960
Sneak Sneak

Snek 'leaps' from the edge of the ship, and lands next to Addy. At the same time, Tracy's chain shoots from the darkened sphere she is in the center of, and clips the rider on the shoulder. His eyes sag, and he falls from his saddle, disappearing as he falls the several hundred feet to <SPLAT> at the base of the wall.

[2d20 = 13]
1st roll is the left-side group, 2nd is the right-side.

>>66962
Ripping her chain out of her first target, not skipping a beat, Tracy's 140 foot globe of blackness overtakes the enemy group.
.... but she's barely out of range to make her full attack; so she, with her momentum, keeps sailing towards the enemy, blinding them all, as she prepares her whirlwind attack.

>>66964
K, that happens.
Infernius, REEEEing excessively, casts Hold Person on Addy

[1d20 = 3]
Failing her saving throw, Addy is now standing motionless. She struggles against the force of the spell a bit, before letting out a screeching "MUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

[1d20 = 3]
With Torcuil closing range, #5 fires an arrow at him. Several of the reinforcements on the left and right leap into the air.

[13d8 = 68]
>>66968
Then Torcuil conjures a rainbow sphere in his hands the fires beams colored...

[2d8 = 16]
>>66969
Violet, Violet, Blue, Violet, Blue, Green, Green, Orange, Green, Violet, Yellow, and the 13th gets hit by...

[2d7 = 7]
>>66970
Only now...

[8d20 = 92]
And with the exception of #5, they're all blinded. In addition,...
For the Violets,....

[4d20 = 47]
Of the ones hit by the violet ray, only one of the Wyverns manages to avoid being sent to another plane.
The Blues nao

[6d20 = 73]
This time, 2 riders and one Wyvern are turned to stone, which crumble as they collide with the ground. Additionally, the Wyvern not turned to stone has a statue for a rider, and is encumbered.
Now the Greens

[8d20 = 54]
Why are only Wyverns making their saves?
3 riders slump over/off their saddles, as well as two of the Wyverns. The rest

Well shit. Where once there were 13 riders in a relative formation, now there are 2 riderless wyverns, and one wearing a statue.

[3d20 = 45]
"Well that was a let-down. Still,..." Slovenia says, throwing the lever.

And 2 of the 3 Wyverns (including the one with the statue) are obliterated by a volley of cannon-fire. The remaining group - the one on the right - are disoriented by the magical darkness. They begin to fly erratically, trying to evade the darkness sphere.

[12d20 = 131]
>>66979
Tracy, huffing, finally makes her attack after reaching her targets.
In a whirling fury, she lashes at every target around her individually, targeting the riders. Rolls have a +26 modifier.

>>66980
YAY!

[2d4+6 = 14]
>>66981
Weapon damage

[8d6 = 26]
>>66982
Sneak attack and precision damage

>>66980
"Fuck yeah!"
>is raining blood

>>66984
>makes it rain
And that's the game (against these guys).
Somehow, veritably defying the laws of physics (but not the rules so Xp), Tracy spins herself into a dizzy. At the same time, her chain lashes out and spins furiously, striking at the exposed vitals of the remaining riders, who in the magical darkness cannot intercept, anticipate, or defend effectively against her strike. The sphere containing Tracy remains stationary, and as the rest of the party watches, the riders fall to the surface of the wall and/or off the sides.

>>66985
[INSANE LAUGHTER]

>>66985
"Well that's gory"
>Snek places tail in front of Addy's eyes

Infernius plops down atop the wall as the ship flies over. "Um, how do I steer this thing?!" Slovenia calls from the deck.

>>66988
"SHIT MY SHIP"
Torc flys back to the ship and stops it above the wall.

[12d20 = 148]
[1d20 = 7]
Addy attempts to break the spell again, (probably failing, she needs a 18+)
>>66989
Torcuil flies back to the wheel. The wyverns break into a frenzy, no longer directed by their riders. Still unable to see, they start attacking randomly.

Highly improbable, Tracy takes a slight hit from one of the Wyvern's tails. Save vs. poison (fort)

[1d20+11 = 19]
>>66987
rolling

>>66992
Tracy feels a sting from the wound-site, and then glares at it, and the poison decides its in it's best interest to not.

>>66990
Torc looks for the closest wyvern and casts Hold Monster on it.

[1d20+6 = 24]
>>66994
Will save

>>66987
>>66993
Tracy's eyes cease to glow as the powerful neurotoxin knocks her out of her trip, but still seems rather pissed off.
"Owww.. fuck!"

[1d20+17 = 22]
>>66996
Passes.
Snek takes the opportunity to shoot the wyvern closest to him.

>>66998
<BAP>
Wyvern is shooted. Its still alive, and now it's mad.

[12d20 = 117]
Tracy whips out her blackjack (actually just one of her socks with a rock in it) and starts knocking things out.
Whirlwind attack. Modifier is +25

>>67000
Nice digits. No. Her sock does not have the range of her chain.

>>67001
she can take a 5 foot step between each attack.

>>67001
Well, in the case that the lizard that struck her is still within 10 feet of her, she knocks it flat and anything else that's barely within reach.

[1d8+4 = 6]
>>67003
sock damage

[8d6 = 28]
>>67004
sock smashed with deadly precision into the back of your neck damage (nonlethal)

Okkay,....
So Tracy baps several with a sock. why a sock?
Yes, that sock has a rock. >resists urge to keep rhyming
Unfortunately, she inadverdently indicated to 4 of them where she is, and further unfortunately, no one else can see what's going on. They do hear 4 distinct <bap> sounds tho.

[1d100 = 66]
>>67004
>>67004
rolling to confirm x2 threat on the second lizard.
dice 1d100

Infernius, satisfied that Addy isn't going anywhere (with Snek guarding) runs off toward the one he can see, which is zeroing in on him, Snek, and Addy.

>>67006
If they enter her threatened space, she gets an AoO (cuz she a Large creature).

[18d6 = 71]
Torc fires up the wyvern zapper and fires up a chain lightning to kill the over grow mosquitoes (except the ones Tracy is fighting)

[12d20 = 119]
>>67010
Saves,....

>>67011
The one who took the strike falls from the sphere, and Tracy (only) can see that they're not doing so good.

[1d20 = 13]
Meanwhile, the 1 that's alive along the left side of the wall is attacking Snek.
>flyby attack

[1d20+17 = 21]
[1d20+26 = 29]
>>67013
Snek stop, mlems, and listens.
Assuming he detects the enemy he fires.

[2d8+3 = 12]
>>67014
Snek fires, and scores another hit.

[11d20 = 119]
Tracy whirls with her chain yet again.

[8d6 = 29]
>>67016
Okay, fine, she uses her sock on the four in her reach, and the chain on the rest; since she's not limited to only one weapon in this attack.
Rolling Sneak attack damage, lethal and non-lethal.

>>67016
With another devastating flurry, Tracy dispatches the remaining Wyverns in her periphery. One remains, the one Snek keeps capping.

[1d20 = 11]
Meanwhile on the surface of the wall, Infernius walks up to Addy, breaks off the arrow, and pushes the broken piece through.
Addy's face contorts visibly, as even though she's held it is obviously an unpleasant experience.

[1d20 = 12]
Torcuil prepares the ships cannons and fires 1 at a remaining wyvern.
>>67019

>>67020
>wide
The wyvern's morale expended, it flips in the air and takes flight (this time fleeing).
Snek gets an AoO

[1d20+25 = 26]
>>67027
"I've had enough of this."
Tracy whips out her longbow and fires at it.

>>67028
Well fuck

>>67027
>"NAH, BUT YA MUM LIKES ME! NOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK, COME HERE AND MAYBE WE CAN NEGOTIATE SOME STUFF"
"When did you get proper?"
>"Since fuck you"
"Nevermind, Tracy hold up. Snek's trying to talk to it"

>>67029
Tracy could not have missed more except if she shot herself remember that one time?
Infernius casts Wind Walk.
Slovenia shrugs at Torcuil, not having anything to contribute.
>"NUTS TO YOU"
The Wyvern continues to flee, darting behind the wall and speeding toward the treeline. It hasn't escaped yet but it will take a precise set of actions to catch it. Snek can take a final shot as it departs, if he wants to.
Without any immediate threat, the party gets a better look at their surroundings. On the empire side of things, the wall stands at about 300' tall. Interestingly enough, its only about 30' below the wall on the far side that there's a treeline. The trees, which appear overgrown and unkempt, are still way too close to the top of the wall.
It seems that the ground level on the far side of the wall is much closer than on the Empire side.

[1d20 = 18]
Oh, and Addy is visibly shaking with frustration as she attempts to break the hold of the spell Infernius placed on her.
>>67032
Snek shoots off his own hat.

>>67032
R.I.P torc

With a small burst of energy, Addy successfully breaks the spell. "MuuuuuuUUUUUUU," she yells, charging Infernius.

>>67034
>"MY HAT"
>>67035
>>67033
Second time I roll a 1 on a shot and everyone assumes the character is committing suicide....

[1d20 = 8]
>>67036
tickle AoO

>>67038
>miss
Addy performs a junk-punt

Strike that, Infernius landed the tickle-grapple, and Addy's subsequent junk-punt (which she can still do while grappled) still misses

>>67037
>"TORC PLZ FIX ME HAT"
"Uh, okay"
fixes it through magic abuse
>"Yay, hat"
>Makes it a wizard hat with fake beard

>>67041
"ah come on. me pushed arrow though chest to help you."
*boops and casts heal*

>>67031
Tracy is making like a murder hobo and stripping everything of value from the corpses

>>67043
"Where do you get off?!" Addy is pissed.
>>67044
Tracy collects 288 silver from the available bodies, as well as crude and natural weapons; several knives and a few swords. The humanoids - at close inspection - are wild elves, clothed with skins and hides.

>>67045
"I figured it was el-"
>"Elfs are gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"

>>67045
Tracy cuts off all of their hands, pockets the weapons in her knife cozy, and ties a severed head to her saddle.

>>67045
"you dont have to like it, me am your father and me will take care of you. regardless of deal thez made."

>>67048
Addy mutters something about "Oaf" and "Faggot", while crossing her arms.

>>67049
>"The grand wizard agrees with the small bovine"
"Oh brother"
Snek slithers over by Addy

>>67031
Are there any structures visible behind the tree line? Any barracks where the guards might've been staying?

>>67051
No. Aside from a vast and expansive tree-line, the only thing that is apparent are occasional smoke lines, presumably from personal fires. To the very distant left and right, they can see more walls, as though the area beyond the Sil wall is its self divided.

>>67049
"that doctor faggot to you." you want ice cream when we get back to port barry?"

>>67052
"Hmmm... Reminds me of Everfree." Tracy says, shaking the blood off of herself like a dog as she reverts to her usual form

>>67053
"I can make my own ice cream! Don't stop me again!" she yells pointing at him.

>>67055
"FINE."

>>67056
*Infernuis walks back to the ship*

>>67052
How far away is the first smoke signal.

Regardless, Tracy, feeling much better, decides to go for a stroll through the woods.

>>67055
Snek proceeds to pick up Addy with his tail and set her on his back.
>"Hey Torc now what?"
"I guess we find dwarves"

<whoooof>
"What now?" Thez says with a sigh, appearing on scene. She looks at Infernius, and then at Adeline. "I can tell you're both seething you know."

>>67060
"....."

>>67061
She doesn't look his way, but offers her fist for a bump.
"He cast a spell on me! I couldn't move!" Addy shouts at Thez. Thez looks at Infernius and then back to Addy. "And what did you do?" she says with a measured tone?
"I was gonna get 'em!" she protests, brandishing the folding saw.
"And the hole in your chest?"
Addy balks.

Eyeing Infernius carefully, Thez walks up to Addy.
And slaps her clean across the face.
"I won't interfere in whatever you decide to do, but he is your father, is under no such prohibitions, and if you really want to challenge his decisions, beat him in a duel. I trust I taught you that much," Thez lectures. "You're at the bottom of the pecking order little miss. Remember that."
Thez walks up to Infernius and gives him a big hug. "She's a brat,... don't take it personally."

Tracy trots through the forest nonchalantly, slashing Xs into trees every now and then to mark her territory.
She makes her way to where she saw the smoke riding earlier.

>>67066
[Humming hoers noises]

>>67065
Snek winces a bit (not sure how, with no eyelids and all) before returning with Addy to the ship.

>>67065
"me cant help but feel, that this my fault for not being there."

>>67069
"You've done nothing wrong. I'd avoid using spells to compel obedience, but you have no fault. Don't worry, I'll whup some sense into her in the morning."
>>67067
Several animal trails snake through the trees, as well as a few sets of humanoid prints (attempted to be concealed) that lead in the direction of the smoke-stacks.

>>67068
"Stupid bull, its not like it would have killed me,...." Addy mopes as Snek carries her to the ship.

>>67070
"okay."
"want to help me skin the lizards?"

>>67070
Tracy shifts her magical disguise to conceal her equipment, and make her fur seem brown instead of blue.
She follows the tracks stealthily.

>>67072
Four of those lizards are alive with their snoots taped shut.

>>67072
"Sure." ^_^

>>67073
Unable to detect anyone, Tracy gets the distinct impression she's being watched.

Torc makes sure the ship is okay, while Snek heads over to the tied up wyverns.

>>67074
"tracy have anything to tie down wings with?"

>>67078
*Crow flies in carrying a roll of duct tape*
"CAW!"
*pecks him him the head*
*Vanishes*

>>67079
"uh. thanks birb."

"A massive wall, but no signs of any buildings.. that's odd.." Tracy wonders to herself as she blindly wanders through the forest

[hums gen 1 songs]

*season 1

Alright. Tracy proceeds to run through the woods like an idiot and to her surprise, far ahead in the distance she sees a horse-head peek out from behind a tree, which immediately resumes hiding.

>>67084
Tracy, still disguised as a wild hoers, pretends she didn't see anything and just trots ahead, now at a normal cruising speed.

>>67084
What color was the horses head?

>>67086
Beige. As Tracy nears the tree, there's no sign of it, until it peeks its head out a bit further on. It seems to be keeping an eye on her, but keeping its distance.

>>67087
Tracy contues strolling along happily, trotting about she stops momentarily to let a butterfly land on her nose.
>Nears the tree
Is this tree different than the rest of them?

>>67088
And she keeps moving, letting the new poner think he's clever while she's really keeping an eye on him.

>>67089
As Tracy makes her nonchalant approach, she should roll a listen check.

>>67091
She gets +4 racial bonus

>>67092
A very slight rustling from behind is the only thing that tips her off that she and the other horse are not alone.

>>67093
Tracy takes a move action to hone in on the creature's scent, if any.
