WOT Adv 250 - Fiznak (FG log)

Fizzy stood atop the escarpment looking down into the walled city below. Trolloc cook fires dotted the landscape below. A bow was in hand and a cluster of arrows at his hip.
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): i just shot that raven
GM: yep
Fiznak of Shienar: i need to get down...
Fiznak of Shienar: wasn't there a rope?
Fiznak of Shienar: i seem to remember a rope
Fizzy glanced at his feet and saw the coil of rope at his feet that had previously entangled his bow. Thoughts could be dangerous in this place he knew.
A stout grapple hook was attached to the coil of rope.
Fiznak of Shienar: i climb down the rope...to the wall...
Fiznak of Shienar: or is it too far down
Fiznak looked over the edge and could see a ledge some thirty paces down. If he could get there, he could hook another rope on and get down the rest of the way.
Campaign saved.
GM: your rope is 50' long.
Fiznak of Shienar: have to go pick her up
Fiznak of Shienar: be back in about 25 minutes
Jingo: k... i'll tuck the kids in bed see you then.

Jingo: k. was reading hobbit to the kids. been waiting long?
Fiznak of Shienar: no just got back
GM: What doth Fizzy do?
Fiznak of Shienar: i'll try to get down
Fiznak of Shienar: one ledge then the other
Grasping the rope firmly in his hands and heedless of the death and dying taking place in the distance below, Fiznak dropped over the lip of the edge and began to climb down.
Jingo: roll a climb
Campaign saved.
Fiznak of Shienar: Climb [1d20+4 = 12]
Fiznak of Shienar: errr
Fiznak managed to climb down to the ledge without incident other than a few scrapes and bruises.
Looking up the rope hung wavering slightly in the breeze from high above.
Fiznak of Shienar: can I shoot an arrow down and zip line to the wall?
Fiznak of Shienar: :)
GM: Well... you can TRY anything. Doing it may be something else. I dobut an arrow would stick into anything sufficiently enough to hold your weight though.
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): **sigh**
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): alright
Fiznak of Shienar: I'll try to scale down the cliff the rest of the way
Jingo: hey fizzy's already nearly dead... we don't want him really dead, do we;?
Fiznak of Shienar: is there anything that I can see from my vantage point?
Fiznak of Shienar: ooo he's nearly dead?
Fiznak of Shienar: oookay
Fiznak of Shienar: another rope, then
GM: In real life... here? It's a wonder he didn't even show a scar from where Bors had cut up his arm.
Fiznak of Shienar: right, so, why shouldn't he be able to scale the cliff?
GM: Isn't that what you're doing?
Fiznak of Shienar: yes...
Fiznak of Shienar: you sounded like it was a bad idea
Campaign saved.
Fiznak of Shienar: that's all
Fiznak frowned and concentrated... a rope. He needed another.
Jingo: Shooting a rope down and sticking it in something with your arrow seemed a bad idea to me.
Fiznak of Shienar: oh...that one
GM: roll concentration check
Fiznak of Shienar: k
Fiznak of Shienar: [1d20+3 = 13]
Fiznak of Shienar: that would be a 13
Out of thin air a coiled rope appeared with another grapple attacked.
Jingo: attached
Fiznak of Shienar: i like this place
Fiznak smiled, then frowned, but think concentrate though he might, he could not summon Maeslyn to his side.
Fiznak of Shienar: grinned as he contemplated the infinite possibilities of this strange new world
GM: k. roll climb again
Fiznak of Shienar: Climb [1d20+4 = 6]
Fiznak of Shienar: yikes!
GM: weee!
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): that's not good
Campaign saved.
Smiling at the possiblities this world presented, Fiznak's mind wandered as he climbd down and the rope began to shimmer and to fade in his hands! He stopped and concentrated and the rope firmed up again. Sighing with relief he still clung below the ledge.
GM: roll again
Fiznak of Shienar: Climb [1d20+4 = 16]
Fiznak began climbing down and saw below him, a portion of the city wall and a tower upon which a guard stood.
There were no immediate trollocs in the vicinity though and the guard merely appeared to be a lookout of some sort.
Fiznak of Shienar: is there some sort of signal that I could give him to let him know I'm friendly?
Fiznak of Shienar: oh I know!
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): i do a borderland bird call...I think they do that in the book
Jingo: k do a perform
Fiznak of Shienar: perform [1d20+7 = 13]
Fiznak called out a the call of a gray thrush and the guard looked about somewhat startled. Then looked up.
Guard: What the...?
Fiznak of Shienar: peace favor your sword
Guard fumbls for his sword
Guard: Ah? *looks up* Then smiles.
Guard: Ah... Daelyn? That is you! Daelyn! *smile broadens into a grin*
Fiznak of Shienar: it's been a long time, friend...
Campaign saved.
Guard: That it has... come on down!
Fiznak of Shienar: perform [1d20+7 = 25]
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): or is that bluff?
With a bit of a flourish, Fiznak dropped down the rest of the way atop the wall.
WickerCat (Fiznak of Shienar): it still would have been a 20 total
Jingo: you're good.
Guard claps Fiznak on the shoulder
Guard: How went the mission Daelyn?
Fiznak of Shienar: i have discovered the positions of many fists of trollocs
A stray memory flickered within his mind... this man... his name was...Dorin.
Dorin the Guard: Several light-blinded Fists! Peace!
Fiznak of Shienar: Dorin, I must speak to the commander. you cannot leave your post. we must leave ourselves
Dorin the Guard nods and clasps your arm firmly.
Dorin the Guard: It is good to see you returned to us, Daelyn!
Dorin the Guard: Peace and the Light Favor you!
Dorin the Guard: The Dai Shan is waiting to hear your report.
Fiznak of Shienar: be on your guard, Dorin, the shadowspawn will not rest until they have us all in stew pots...or until we skewer them through with our blades.
Fiznak of Shienar grins widely
Fiznak of Shienar: do I know the way?
Dorin the Guard: Aye! *nods and returns the grin* Perhaps we can skewer them together when next they assault eh?
Campaign saved.
A memory tickled his brain.... he was not sure how he knew, but the large building there in the center of the town... that's where the Dai Shan would be.
Fiznak of Shienar gives him a grin
Dorin the Guard waves him farewell and returns to his tasks
Fiznak climbed down the wall and jogged along the narrow city streets towards the center of the city.
Fiznak of Shienar makes his way to the Dai Shan
Daelyn walks briskly through the ranks of courageous borderlanders
Dorin the Guard After several twisting streets made so for the defense of the town Fiznak noted... an ambush could be placed behind any one of these streets.
Dorin the Guard After several twisting streets made so for the defense of the town Fiznak noted... an ambush could be placed behind any one of these streets.
Jingo: no dorin. sorry
... Fiznak finally arrived at a large square building, functional and practical, and built purely for defense, there was little in the way of finery as he jogged up the steps and stood before a guard.
Guard: Hold! State your busi--- Oh... Daelyn! *grins*
Guard: Go right in the Dai Shan was hoping you would be back!
Daelyn: i'm back
Daelyn: and i bring news
WickerCat (Daelyn): (what's my news??)
Campaign saved.
Jingo: You're not entirely sure... other than what you saw...
Guard: Good. Go right in!
WickerCat (Daelyn): i know the positions of the trollocs, don't i?
Jingo: some...
WickerCat (Daelyn): otherwise I wouldn't be barging in like this
Fiznak pressed on down the halls, passing messengers and pages running about in a fury of motion.
He stood before a large double door and pushed it open.
Daelyn salutes with his hand to his chest,
Inside a man stood around a table with several advisors. The man was clad in plate and mail and a large two handed sword was upon his back.
Daelyn: dai shan, i have seen the positions of several fists in the forest. they are preparing an assault
Dai Shan: Ahh... Daelyn! I'm glad you're back! I trust your information is sound?
Dai Shan: As Fiznak uttered the words, Dai Shan, part of the old tongue came back to him... Dai Shan... Battle Lord...
As Fiznak uttered the words, Dai Shan, part of the old tongue came back to him... Dai Shan... Battle Lord...
Daelyn: i have myself dispatched several Shadowspawn to make my way back and give you my eyewitness account
Well then... come and tell me what you know. He ushered you around a map showing what you suppose is the surrounding area.
Campaign saved.
Dai Shan: Well then... come and tell me what you know. *He ushered you around a map showing what you suppose is the surrounding area.*
WickerCat (Daelyn): hold on
Jingo: np
WickerCat (Daelyn): back
WickerCat (Daelyn): i trust I know my bearings and everything?
Jingo: You think so
WickerCat (Daelyn): oh comon...
Daelyn: Dai Shan, there are three firsts of trollocs here, here, and here. they are preparing a major assault on your north wall. I have not seen the other side of their preparations, but I can tell you this with confidence
Daelyn: i have no idea of the situation of anything other than the north
Dai Shan puts a hand to his chin and rubs it in thought.
Dai Shan: Three fists you say? Do you know when the assault might fall? Peace! But I hope we can hold them off!
Campaign saved.
Jingo: Do you remember the conversation you overheard? With the Fade and Trolloc?
WickerCat (Daelyn): hold on
WickerCat (Daelyn): it's been so long
WickerCat (Daelyn): i'll look online
Jingo: it might not be up there... i didn't get them all up to date. I'll see if I can find it in email
Memory bubbled up unbidden...
"Seargent," the voice rasped, a scraping sound that set Fiznak's teeth on edge. "Take your Fist around to the bluff that overlooks the far side of the town. Use grapples and rope to descend quietly into the city... I will steadily increase the pressure on this side until the third watch. That is when you will descend. And quietly. Once you're inside on the ground, the town will fall. Fail me, and I'll see you suffer such that you'll beg me to rip out your throat before I'm through. No go, worm!"
WickerCat (Daelyn): thanks
Jingo: but you took out that seargent remember?
WickerCat (Daelyn): i was just working my way up to that
Daelyn: Dai Shan, I intercepted this office and dispatched him before he had a chance to relay the plans of the Fade. [tells him the plan]
Daelyn: i assume they will still attempt the assault.
Dai Shan frowns.
Daelyn: though i leave that judgement up to you, Sir
Campaign saved.
Dai Shan: So... increasing pressure until the third watch and then he'll throw everything at us? Peace! A light-blinded Fade. As if the trolloc shadow-spawn weren't enough!
Dai Shan: Very well! We'll make sure to be prepared for any tricks.
Daelyn: they wouldn't be so organized without this Fade, I'm sure.
Dai Shan nods with a frown.
Dai Shan If we could get rid of the Fade... alas, but such a task is more easily imagined than accomplished. Might as well wish for pigs to fly...
Dai Shan: Dai Shan If we could get rid of the Fade... alas, but such a task is more easily imagined than accomplished. Might as well wish for pigs to fly...
WickerCat (Daelyn): did he mean Daelyn?
WickerCat (Daelyn): or does he speak in 3rd person?
Dai Shan: Daelyn, go and seek out Captain Aedrik and see how best he can use you. I'm sure you're blade can be put to some use when the assault comes!
Jingo: sorry about 3rd person. usually not except when he's stressed. :-)
Daelyn: as you command, Dai Shan
Daelyn salutes and turns
Jingo: hold on brb.
WickerCat (Daelyn): k
Jingo: back
Campaign saved.
Dai Shan: what do you do then?
WickerCat (Daelyn): i go find Captain Aedrik
GM: what do you do then?
Fiznak left the main hall and as he did so a page ran into him! "Excuse me sir! Urgent message for the Dai Shan!"
Daelyn: what is it?!
GM: Trollocs! They're hitting on all sides!
Daelyn: Untiil the 3rd hour...
Eager page: What?
Daelyn: quickly! deliver the message
Daelyn: throws him into the room
Eager page: Dai Shan! *bows* Trollocs are hitting on all sides! At least five fists in total!
Dai Shan: Five?!
Dai Shan: Light!
Dai Shan: I thought we had till the third watch!
Daelyn: apparently not, sir
Daelyn: your orders?
Dai Shan: No.. apparently not. Go and find Captain Aedrik as before, but be on your guard.
Daelyn: are there any reserves, sir? and soldiers nearby to whom we can get word?
Daelyn: are we alone?
Jingo: brb caisa's got home from enrichment. help with stuff for a few mins.
Campaign saved.
WickerCat (Daelyn): k
Campaign saved.
Campaign saved.
Dai Shan: Reserves? *he barked a deep cynical laugh* Reserves! Your blade is your reserve, Daelyn!
Daelyn: as usual sir
Dai Shan: *smiles grimly* As usual... now go. Peace favor your sword!
Daelyn: and yours Dai Shan. Tai Shar Shainar!
WickerCat (Daelyn): i go find the captain
Dai Shan: *hand to breast* Tai Shar Sheinar!
Fiznak ran out the great hall and down the wide steps, taking them two at a time. He ran out into the streets and found several pages running to and fro and women bearing wounded on stretchers. A loud gutteral yell could be heard from without the walls.
Campaign saved.
GM: Captain Aedrik doesn't appear to be in the immediate vicinity
WickerCat (Daelyn): i toward the yell
WickerCat (Daelyn): i go
Wounded Soldier: *stumbles up* Light-blinded trolloc!
Wounded Soldier: Where's the captain?
Daelyn: i don't know!
Wounded Soldier: *grasping you with bloody hands*
Wounded Soldier: Bloody trollocs spawn nearly gutted me! Light! We need some order out of this! *yells out* Where's Aedrik?!
WickerCat (Daelyn): do I see anyone who is commanding?
WickerCat (Daelyn): do I have rank?
Jingo: there are others, subcommanders, who are trying to make sense of the chaos, you haven't yet reached the walls.
Jingo: You seem fairly well placed in rank... I mean one of the advisors of the Dai Shan and all thatl
Daelyn: I run toward the chaos determined to bring order to the men and rally their spirits
Answering yells met the wounded soldier. "I saw him running that way!" *points towards the bluff behind the town*
Weary Soldier: Light! Daelyn! It is you
Weary Soldier: thank the light...
WickerCat (Daelyn): oh, dude, I bet he's in on it
Weary Soldier: Where's Aedrik?
Campaign saved.
Daelyn: he's not here
Daelyn: i am taking command
Weary Soldier: Right!
Weary Soldier: We're getting pushed off the walls sir. They're coming--
An arrow takes him in the throat!
Daelyn: Rally to me! Rally to me! Courage men of Sheinar!
Soldiers of Shienar: To Daelyn!
Daelyn: remember your wives and children! Remember your mothers and fathers! Remember the red blood of the comrades that have fallen beside you!
Soldiers of Shienar: Remember Sheinar!
Your just outside the walls and can see several trollocs scrambling over them and down into the streets below.
Daelyn: remove the stain of Shadowspawn from our fortress! Fight with all you have, men! we are better than them and will be victorious!
Daelyn: Slay the shadowspawn!
Resistance in this section seems to have been beaten back and the men of Sheinar are rallying around you in a small clump.
Daelyn: Slay the Shadowspawn!
Jingo: 1 sec. getting map setup
WickerCat (Daelyn): i direct them to attack... :)
Campaign saved.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: For the light! For the light and Sheinar!!!
The men rush forward to stop the dark tide of trollocs spewing over the wall, and fighting takes place furiously in the streets. Men fall and die to be replaced by others. Men fire from rooftops across the way. A clump of five trollocs rush towards Fiznak swords raised to attack!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: drive them back to the pit of doom! drive them back to Shayol Ghul where the Dark Lord sits atop his broken chair! Drive them back into the depths of a Shadow from whence they may never return!!!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer Charges with sword raised and screaming a fierce battle-yell

Jingo: remember you can spend a convic to erase all hurts
Fiznak dodged and parried most of their blows.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: oh really?
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: i didn't know that
Daelyn ShadowSlayer
Jingo: It's because your first class was a warrior class so that's what they can do with convic.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: nice
The five trollocs surrounded him their fetid breath steaming in the night air. Fiznak held his blade aloft.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: my turn?
Jingo: aye

Jingo: click and roll dem bones!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: oooo
Jingo: so sad!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: no good
Fiznak's blade moved quicker than a viper darting in and out easily spinning through the Shadowspawns' defences. Shadows flickered among the buildings, several of them already aflame! Form flowed into form and soon, several bodies of trollocs lay dead or wounded in the dirt at his feat.
In a rage the remaining trollocs attacked, slashing at Fiznak with their wickely curved sythe swords!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: where are the bodies?!!
Jingo: doh!
Jingo: howzat?
WickerCat (Daelyn ShadowSlayer): very nice!

Jingo: hit! btw, that's a critical... but you kill him anyway.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: awesome!
WickerCat (Daelyn ShadowSlayer): fizzywig is awesome!
Fiznak came back to himself, an found the bodies arranged about his feet.... the battle was going better for those around him! The Shienarins had pushed back atop the wall!
Soldiers of Shienar: We're atop the wall!
Soldiers of Shienar: Lord Daelyn! Lord Daelyn!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Send them to the Shadow from whence none returns!!!
Jingo: how late do you want to go? I can play more or stop here. Whatever you want.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: let's go a little more
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Rachel is busy anyway
Jingo: ok...
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: you sleep soon though
GM: What do you do then?
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Is the battle going well here?
Campaign saved.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: if it is, I will go to the bluffs. and send an update to Dai Shan
Fighting was raging atop the wall and could swing either way, the trollocs were beaten back down in the streets though.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: i will take two soldiers with me and go to the bluffs
Fiznak gave orders and two soldiers, weary from the fighting stepped up near him.
Soldier 1: We're ready Daelyn! Nice work with those shadowspawn!
Soldier 2: Peace! But your swordplay was amazing!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: practice, my comrades
Nodding in agreement they followed Fiznak south toward the bluff behind the town. All seemed relatively quiet.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Notice [1]
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: hmm
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: let me try that roll again
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: it didn't work
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: notice [1d20+1 = 8]
After looking about some, Fiznak saw a sight that made him grind his teeth! Dorin, lay inside at the foot of the wall, his throat slit.
Soldier 2: blood and ashes!
Soldier 1: Light *looks about nervously* Light and bloody ashes!
Campaign saved.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: foul play!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: look alive, men, I sense treachery
Soldier 1: Aye... could be... could be!
You're standing at the foot of the wall... the din of the fighting has diminshed somewhat it was then that Fiznak heard a whispering.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Dorin was no slouch.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: what was it that I hear
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: ??? eh?
unknown voice: The Great Lord of the Dark is my master... *somewhat wavering* and most heartily do I serve him to the last shred of my soul...
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: is it the Captain?
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: do i recognize anything?
GM: You can't recognize it... it's... sobbing.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: darkfriend...**whispered to the others** let us shed light upon the Shadow-turned.
Campaign saved.
Soldier 1: *nervously grabs his sword and nods to you and his companion*
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: fear not, my friends...the light will shelter all who walk in the light...
Jingo: there! *grin*
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: nice body
Soldier 1: Alas... for Dorin *draws his sword slowly and whispers* He was a good man. the mother earth should embrace him.
There's a ladder nearby and you can hear something... scratching sounds, growing louder. . . and cliking as if somehting metal is hitting something else.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: trollocs...on the walls
Soldier 2: The light save us.
unknown voice: Faster!
GM: What do YOU do?
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: what can I see on the ladder?
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: anything?
Jingo: ladder is there...
Jingo: nothing is on the ladder. noises seem to be coming from here.
Campaign saved.
Campaign saved.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: i climb the ladder...
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: easy enough.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: dangerous enough
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: i must be stealthy
Fiznak stealthily climbed the ladder...
Jingo: roll stealth
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: [1d20+2 = 16]
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: what now?
You are halfway up the ladder when you sword clanks into the stone wall... A form who previously had his back to you turned, his cloak whirling in the night. Even in the dark, Fiznak could see his streaked with tears. It was Captain Aedrik...
Additional shapes were moving in the darkness around him.
Trollocs...
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: serve the lord of the dark, do you, CAPtain???
Captain Aedrik: I *sobbing* his sword already in his hand! He made me! Don't you understand. He made me!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: you always have a choice, Traitor.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Darkfriend.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: no better than Shadowspawn you help.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Put us all into cookpots, will you?
Campaign saved.
Captain Aedrik: You know little of it, fool! *his tears turned to anger* My wife, my children! They would end up in the cookpots if I didn't!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: and NOW WE ALL MIGHT!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: FOOL!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: sacrifice hundreds for your own selfish ends!
Captain Aedrik: Laughs somewhat insanely! It doesn't matter anymore does it? Nothing does anymore!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Captain Aedrik I relieve you of your command...and declare you a darkfriend and pronounce a summary sentence of death, according to law.
Captain Aedrik: Relieve me of my command! Hah! My command is with me here on these walls! An entire fist is mine for the taking. More than I ever got from serving "the Dai Shan" *that last in severe mocking tones*. Now I have a real command!
More trollocs move atop the walls and interpose themselves between you.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Come and kill me then, Shadowspawn! if you can!
Soldier 1: umm... sir?
Trolloc roars in defiance spittle flying in the air!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS!!! GO!!!
Soldier 1: Aye! Aye! *runs*
Soldier 2: I'm with you Lord Daelyn. If I don't live. Tell my wife of Fealdrin. *smiles wearily*
Campaign saved.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: I will, Comrade.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: yours to the death!
Captain Aedrik: Kill them all. The women and children are yours for the taking! But leave MY house alone.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: Maeslyn...if only she were here...
With a rush, the trollocs lept forward into the night, leaping off the walls, their powerful legs cushioning the blow.

Daelyn ShadowSlayer: **gulp**
Then with an eyeless glare that sends shivers down your spine, it leads the trollocs away.
Campaign saved.
The Dai Shan runs atop the wall, soldiers and archers in his wake, already shooting the fleeing trollocs in the back.
Dai Shan: Daelyn!
Dai Shan: Are you all right?
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: a cold sweat envelops Fiznak as he watches the fade slide silently through the shadows there one moment and gone the next
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: none the worse for a little fighting, Dai Shan.
Dai Shan: Light-blinded fade eh? The thing gives me the crawlies. Remember, to see a Fade is to know fear.
Dai Shan: You have saved us this day, Daelyn!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: to know it. to face it. and to control and best it.

Dai Shan: Light! May the mother earth shelter us all!
Daelyn ShadowSlayer: i never thought I would see the day
Dai Shan: Daelyn you have served me well this day. I name you Tai'manshima and say Kiserai to Tai'manshima!
The words othe ancient language were unfamiliar at first and then they began to resolve into some sense.
Tai... True.
Daelyn ShadowSlayer bows on one knee to accept the honor with a first to the ground
