Small children tasked with being town criers ran through the streets announcing that the opening festival was about to commence. The crowds slowly started to drift away from the merchant booths and carnival games and drifted towards the space in front of the cathedral.

A small stage had been set up and several officials were standing around ready to deliver speeches that would kick off the feast. Even as people stood around waiting for the politicians to finish talking their eyes were drifting towards the trays of roasted meats and spiced cakes that were tickling their noses and tempting their stomachs.

Mayor Deverin takes the stage first.

"Good morning everyone. I see everyone's arrived. Even Larz Rovanky has left off tanning hides to be here. I'm sure his workers are glad it's not their hides getting tanned, at least not today."

There was a polite smattering of laughter and jeers towards the grumpy tanner who was standing in the crowd.

"It's wonderful to see so many of you here to join us on this proud day, and I'd like to extend my welcome to the many new faces I see in the crowd. As Mayor, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the town. I hope you all are enjoying your stay here in Sandpoint and I sincerely hope that you're having a wonderful time. Our town has much to offer and I hope we can consider you as new friends. Spend some time in Sandpoint and you’ll grow to love it like we do. And even if you don’t stay long, spend your money while you’re here!"

More laughter from visitors and townsfolk alike.

"And to all of the old faces I see, thank you for coming and thank you for everything that each of you has done to keep this town strong. Thank you especially for all the time, sweat, and love you've put into building this fine cathedral. The loss of the old church was quite the tragedy but now I feel with the opening of the new cathedral we can finally put that unpleasantness behind us.

Anyway, I can smell the lunch our tavern keepers are cooking already. A round of applause to Ameiko, Garridan, Cracktooth, and Jargie! I’m sure Father Zantus can spare an extra prayer that they don’t burn anything before we get to eat it. Now, since you have three more of us to stand there through, I’m going to sit down. Today as mayor I am declaring a town order to have fun!

"Without further ado, let me welcome our dutiful Sheriff, Belor Hemlock to the stage!"

The crowd gave an enthusiastic applause for their beloved mayor, the upcoming sheriff, and especially because with one speech down there was only a few more to go before the festival officially kicked off.

A dark-skinned, bulky man, clearly of Shoanti descent, wearing his armor and armed with a prestigious looking sword climbed up, giving a nod to the Mayor on his way.

"Thank you, Mayor. First off, let us have a moment of silence."

He bows his head and the crowd does likewise before he continues speaking.

"Let us remember the memories of those friends and family members who lost their lives in the tragic blaze that made our new cathedral necessary. Cherish those memories and may the blessings of our Gods see them happy and well in the Afterlife."

He raises his head and stands in silence for a moment scanning the crowd.

"Over the next three days all instances of wrong-doing will be dealt with swiftly and to the fullest extent of the law. No exceptions. As the sheriff of Sandpoint, I, Belor Hemlock, would also like to welcome everyone to enjoy themselves today, and you may or may not be aware of the planned bonfire at the beach tonight... it looks to be a promising festival. Do trust that I will be monitoring the level of safe conduct late into the evening. I am trusting our fun will lean to the side of caution. If you are a militia member, remember where your duties lay, and help Sandpoint keep the peace. Thank you."

With that the sheriff steps back awkwardly and beckons with his hand, for the next speaker to approach.

The next speaker is quite a contrast to the Sheriff. He is brightly dressed sporting a well-groomed goatee and seems to be thoroughly enjoying the day. As he reaches the center stage he loosens his collar a bit, winks into the crowd before speaking with the silky smooth voice of a stage actor.

"Well, thank you Sheriff for that uplifting oratory. Don't worry I doubt there will be any fun for you to stress over today. If things get out of hand you can ask Ameiko take the stage and put as all to sleep with one of her stories."

The crowd responds with a combination of chuckles and offended heckles.

Without a beat Ameiko shouts back from the crowd.

"What about the story of your last flop at the theater? I'm almost done with my newest ballad, I call it Cyrdak the Unimpressive! Who wants to hear?"

The crowd responds with laughter and cheers.

After the noise finally quiets Cyrdak continues with a forced smile as if nothing happened.

"We can all agree that this is our time to celebrate! I know this town has been through some hard times, but we don't lay down easily. Look at what we've accomplished!"

Cyrdak pauses to gesture dramatically towards the large cathedral behind the stage.

"And I'm telling you, they spared no expense with this place. Father Zantus' chamber pot? It's solid gold and comes with a singing choir standing nearby. It's no doubt our neighbors and nobles put a pretty copper into the construction of this joint. To think they wanted nothing in return, but to enlighten us and our taxes for many lifetimes to come. But worry not about your coin purse, I've heard from father himself that the gods are getting their gold together to help pay for this place. Any day now they will show up and pay us back for all the sacrifices we've undertaken in their names. Any day now, I'm sure of it."

He pauses, grinning as a few in the crowd chuckle at his rapid fire "jokes". The general silence though does little to discourage him from continuing.

"Don't take it from me, let me hand the stage off to the man who knows whose in charge here. But before I let him get things going I'd like to take this opportunity to extend my personal invitation to each and every one of you to the new production of The Harpy’s Curse starring the world-famous Magnimarian diva Allishanda as Avisera as the Harpy Queen! It's all premiering tomorrow evening and continuing throughout the next two weeks at the Theater. Come see it, it will be fabulous! And now join me in a bit of applause for his holiness himself, Father Zantus!"

Cyrdak gave a suitably enthusiastic applause as he exited stage left to make way for the final speaker. The crowd cheers and while it seems they do like Father Zantus and are happy that Cyrdak's speech is over, most of the crowd is stealing looks at the delicious trays of food just waiting to be eaten.

The young priest looks noticeably abashed at the reception set up for him. He wears the traditional ceremonial robes of a priest of Desna and a shiny silver holy symbol about his neck. He smiles and tries to calm the crowd down, eventually speaking when the applause has subsided.

"Thank you. Thank you Cyrdak. And thank all of you for coming to join us on this most Holy day. Today ushers in the new Fall season. A season I have always thought was named appropriately, as today was the day Desna fell from the heavens during battle with Lamashtu. Though all the world wept for the loss of the goddess, in truth she survived. She was discovered on the rocks of a beach by a blind orphan, forgotten and cast aside by the rest of the world. Though the orphan didn’t know who she was and could do little for the wounded goddess she still stayed by her side holding a vigil on the beach tending to her as best she could and praying to her god, Desna. When other followers had abandoned Desna, the orphan empathized and held hope in her faith. Through the care of this orphan Desna recovered and revealed herself to the blind girl. In return Desna transformed her into an angel and offered the girl ascension to Desna's palace in the heavens. It is now there and forever that they shall remain."


Father Zantus motions toward the newly finished cathedral, the sunlight glittering off the stained glass windows.

"This story reminds us that tragedy is just a setback, not an end. Though our place of worship was destroyed and our previous priest, Father Tobyn, perished in the flame we have preserved as Desna would desire and built anew. Today is our day of new beginnings. Our day of ascension. Friends of Sandpoint, I declare the Swallowtail Festival officially..."

His speech is interrupted by the crack of thunder. It reverberates through the air, echoing off the buildings around town. Instinctively the crowd looks up trying to catch sight of the rain clouds but the sky is clear and blue.

There is another blast of thunder, and another. The lightning strikes should be right on top of the crowd and yet the air is still clear. Confused the crowd starts drifting apart trying to figure out where the source of the sound is coming from.

A little boy calls out from the crowd.

"I saw something! I saw something! Over there!"

He points towards a nearby merchant stall. Several guardsmen draw their weapons and cautiously approach. More thunder cracks out from around town and the crowd of townsfolk begin to panic. Some are whispering that the gods are displeased, probably with Cyrdak's comedy routine, and have cursed the town.

Just then a figure emerges from beneath the cart, an old stray dog that had crawled underneath the stall to sleep out of the sun. Even with the sound of thunder continuing to blast around them the guardsmen relax, laughing and resheathing their weapons.

Then the screaming starts. The dog collapses onto the ground and a pool of blood starts to form out around it. Then the smell of smoke hits the air, a smell not coming from the cooking fires. More screams start to echo out around town in between the blasts of thunder that continue to strike the town.

"FIRE!"

And then another voice from around the corner

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! ALARM!"

Another blast of thunder drowns out the next few screams but finally it subsides enough to hear it clearly.

"GOBLINS!"

Faeli's heart jumped into her throat at which crack of thunder which sounds around the village but when the cry of "GOBLIN" rang out, she was drained of all color. The gnome's eyes darted nervously around the crowded area but all she caught was the midsections of most of Sandpoint's townsfolk.

Perhaps this was a good thing? Faeli though, her mind grasping for advantage against foes which she knew to be treacherous, cunning, and ruthless.

Perhaps I will be able to see those little monsters before they cut through the crowd. Faeli thought to herself.

That is, if I do not get trampled first...

Talitha was enjoying the different speakers and how they were mentioning one another. It was clear that in Sandpoint the people knew each other enough to make inside jokes with the whole town. That was nice, bit she least her small village to look for adventures, so it was still early to think about settling down in a place like this.
She was entertained with these thoughts when she heard the shout. "Goblins!" She should worry about the civilians around her, but she couldn't help but draw a smile in her face. She'd spent to long in the road with no action, so this would be a nice change.

And obviously, the best way to defend these people was with a strong attack. Win-win situation.
She looked around looking for the creatures, but so far her sword and shield were not yet in her arms, and that was a problem.
She hoped she would have time before they stroke.

Tristen was a bit disappointed that he didn't get a closer spot when the speeches began. The disappointment dulled when it was apparent that a stage had been created for each speaker. He joined in on the humor and clapped with the others. He appreciated that the sheriff reminded the crowd that law and order would be maintained during this celebration. He craned his head and viewed the people that made the crowd. Each were good town folk and farmers. Abadar blessing would surely bless Sandpoint and its citizens.

He was ripped out of his silent prayer with the crack of thunder. He looked up expecting rain. But quickly realized it was something else as one town folk after another gave shouts of alarm, until someone finally shouted.

"GOBLINS!

"There! To the east! Three of them!!"
This message was last edited by the player at 23:20, Sun 25 Oct 2020.

When the cry rang through the town Razyll pulled his shield from his back and fastened it to his forearm. Secure there, he drew his scimitar while scanning the crowd.

---

OOC: I know that is a lot of actions, not sure how many I would be allow to complete.

"Sheriff! Get your townspeople to safety, me and these ones here will see to the goblins!" Arialis called out, as she motioned to the 'party'.

Kaddock enjoyed the games and food and had taken advantage of many of the booths and exercises of skill or luck.  He was currently munching on a stick holding roasted meats and vegetables as he listened to the speeches with amusement.  The ways of the city peoples were different  but he felt a growing bond with the friendly and enthusiastic people of this town.

When the cracking of thunder ripped through the town he looked about warily and moved closer to his erstwhile comrades.  As the creatures swarmed out into the town he called out as well.  "Goblins!  Goblins!  Get the women and children to shelter!"

The goblins pull out crude and cruel looking pieces of jagged metal, dogslicers as they often call them, and leap forward cutting into guards and townsfolk alike. All of them begin to take up a song, discordant and chaotic, as they begin their deadly work.

"Goblins chew and goblins bite
Goblins cut and goblins fight
Stab the dog and cut the horse
Goblins eat and take by force!"

Three goblins charge in at the two guardsmen to the north. Luckily their chainmail seems to take the brunt of the attacks but the goblins still draw a bit of blood.

To the west the goblins pounce on a young man trying to run away. Two goblins each grab his feet tripping him allowing the third to scamper up his back and slit his throat.

To the south instead the goblins use their daggers to cut down a young girl, stabbing her repeatedly as she falls to the ground.

The crowd screams and panic ensues. The only seemingly safe place to flee to is towards the Northern gate and that is where the crowd begins to surge towards.

OOC: Initiative order is
1. Guards w/ 22
2. PCs w/ 18
3. Goblins w/ 15
4. Civilians w/ 10


Round 2
The guards drop their crossbows and pull out clubs, striking at the goblins who bounce around, ducking and dodging their attacks.

Talitha doesn't see anything happening in any other side of the square as her eyes are focused on the goblins in from of her. With no time to grab her shield she works her sword with both hands and attacks the goblin in the center.

Faeli moved yelled as she witnessed the goblins cut down the girl. Tears welled up and threatened to blind her as she fought her why to N8. The gnome flicked her wrists in several rhythmic circles before she summoned for a cone of dazzling light.

"Razzletelldon!"

Razyll looked through the crowd for the bright colored hair of Faeli after he drew his scimitar and shield. The cleric roughly pushes his way through the townspeople looking for the little gnome.

"Faeli!"

Seeing a blast of colors Razyll moved that way.


A1. Draw scimitar.
A2. Draw shield
A3. Move to J8

Tristen drew his sword and rushed into the fray. The three goblins already murdered a child. Children were the future of civilization. "Die you foul creatures!" He attacked the goblin.

Round 2
Talitha draws her giant sword and swings but the goblin ducks backwards, stumbling flat onto its back and her swing goes high. Faster than she can bring her sword back to bear, the goblin scrambles back to its feet and readies itself to strike back.

Faeli pushes her way through the crowd and unleashes her spell on the goblins. Her sparkles catch the goblins full in the face blinding and dazzling them.

Razyll draws his shield and sword and pushes his way through the crowd.

Tristen draws his sword, running down a goblin and piercing its chest with his sword.

Arialis rushes forward but her goblin sees what is coming and dives to the side avoiding being skewered.

Kaddock fires his arrow but with all the civilians running around his shot is spoiled.

Townsfolk begin fleeing all around trying toe escape the goblin's deadly attack. The musicians stop playing and flee to the north, the Sheriff draws his blade and steps in front of the mayor and other dignitaries and creates a safe bastion for commoners over by the front door of the cathedral as the cleric tries to unlock the front doors.

With only one road as a safe exit though the townsfolk quickly get bunched up into a tightly packed mob as too many people try to squeeze out along the road.

"Everyone, hold! Don't panic, stay calm!"

The sheriff is trying to maintain order and prevent people from being injured from being trampled by the panicked crowd.

Round 3

In the south the goblins are slowly shaking off the effects of the spell.

In the North the goblins all go into a scurry chasing after the crowds of civilians and hoping to escape the blades and clubs of seasoned warriors in favor of easier prey. They scatter among the crowd but there is quickly a cry as one of the goblins jumped on the back of a traveler and stabs her repeatedly in the back until she collapses.

To the West the goblins keep shifting around and both of them end up stabbing at Arialis. Teaming up against her they overwhelm her defenses and she ends up taking dozens of tiny stabs that start to really add up. A slash at her hamstring here, a stab into her abdomen there. If she was a lesser fighter it would be likely that overwhelming attack would be the end of her.

OOC: The two goblins end up dealing 13 piercing damage to Arilias as part of their team-up attack.

The two guards chase the goblins into the crowd and while they take a few swings with their clubs there is too much chaos fighting among the civilians and the goblins avoid taking any strikes.

Combat Tracker

Razyll looked back as Arialis commanded him to protect Faeli. As he pushed through the crowd he turned back to look at Arialis and he saw the terrible effect of the goblin's teamwork. Razyll paused for the briefest of seconds between steps, torn on if he should turn to aid Arialis or continue one to help the little gnome. With a roar of frustration he continued to Faeli's side.

Razyll growled as he moved within striking distance of the goblins.

"You...will...pay..." the half-orc said through clenched teeth.

Faeli smirked at her work and then nodded to Razyll.

She moved away from the goblins in an attempt to divide their attention. After she yelled a few arcane words the gnome pointed at one of the plates in the cart before her and propelled it forward to crash into the goblin at N5 with magical force.

Having suppressed her panic Faeli's eyes went wide as she released that Koya was here as well.

"Koya?" the gnome yelled as she began to look around for the Harrower.

Round 3
Razyll moves up and cuts down a goblin still stunned by Faeli's blinding blast.

Faeli flings a plate and knocks the goblin at O6 unconscious with a solid hit to the brainpan. She looks around for Koya but doesn't see her. Thinking back she didn't think that Koya had left her spot in the market further to the south and was likely busy with goblin raiders in another part of town.

Talitha crosses, chasing down a fleeing goblin and nearly cuts it in half.

In a blur of steel Arialis cuts down another goblin, flashing blades and burning anger turning the goblin into chunky salsa.

Tristen slices down another goblin, taking the time to retrieve his shield.

The last goblin, penned in by the guards, is shot down with an arrow through the chest by Kaddock.

For a brief second the din dies down as the goblins lie dead or dying (except for one blinded goblin wildly swinging its dog slicer around in the air. There is a pause as the crowd collects it collective breath and things seem to be turning in their favor. The priest unlocks the front door and the crowd starts pouring into the new cathedral and while there are sounds of fighting and fire coming from throughout Sandpoint the local area seems clear.

...then the chilling song starts again.

"Goblins race and goblins jump
Goblins slash and Goblins bump
Burn the skin and mash the head
Goblins here and you be dead!"

From the now abandoned food tents in the south comes a group of goblin commandos who had been crawling into position for an ambush. Now popping up to sing their song and brandish torches. Four goblins armed with dog slicers spill out, two heading for Faeli and Razyll while the other two are heading for the now screaming civilian crowds again.

Two more holding nothing but torches also appear and in the middle of their "formation" is one that seems to be leading the others in their song.


Round 4
The blinded goblin flails about wildly and while it ends up bumping right into Kaddock none of its wild swings come close at all to hitting him.

The newly arrived goblins can see and are much more keen on inflicting damage. One warrior each rushes up to engage Razyll and Faeli. The one facing Razyll slashes upwards with its dogslicer but Razyll deflects it with his shield.
OOC: Warrior O5: A1: Move A2: Attack - Miss A3: Attack - Miss.

The other goblin runs up onto the buffet table, kicking aside trays of freshly cooked meats and bread and it charges down and does a flying leap into the air at Faeli. It lands onto her shoulder using its dogslicer to dig a horrible gash into her shoulder and down her back as its weight slides it down opening a gaping wound.
Warrior M11: A1: Move A2: Attack - Crit! 8 damage A3: Attack - Miss

Meanwhile two more warriors dive into the crowd, cutting down townsfolk as they flee for cover inside the cathedral. They start stabbing with reckless abandon and two more festival goers are cut down like wheat in the field.

The goblin singer spills out over the food table onto the ground near Faeli and somehow manages to keep its wretched rhythm.

"Chase the baby, catch the pup
Bonk the head to shut it up
Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed
We be goblins! You be food!"

To conclude it's stupid song it fires an arrow at Kaddock but buries it in the dirt at Kaddock's feet.

Warchanter K11: A1: Move A2: Goblin Song A3: Firing bow @ Kaddock - Miss
Razyll and Faeli are distracted by the goblin song and take -1 to Will saves for next round

Finally the two torch wielding goblins get into position. One of them reaches into the torch and pulls out a ball of flame. It cackles wildly and then throws it at Faeli before tossing it right in her face. It catches her hair on fire as it bursts onto her.
OOC: Pyro L12: A1: Move A2 & A3: Produce Flame - Crit! Faeli takes 3 fire damage and will take 2 more fire damage next round.

On the other side the other goblin torch bearer puts the torch up to his lips and blows out a jet of flame that engulfs several of the townsfolk still trying to crowd through the doors of the church. The sheriff is also engulfed but thanks to his armor and shield he is able to block most of the flames.

The guards both move back down to engage the new goblins but fail to connect with their clubs. The sheriff likewise steps forward to eliminate the goblin pyromancers but he swings wildly due to his eyes being seared from the flames.

Razyll growled in frustration.

It figured the gnome would be right where the trouble was. Razyll thought to himself.

"Faeli, for Desna's sake-get outta there!"

Yes her hair was still on fire...


A1.   Moving to L9
A2&A3 Trying Color Spray again

Tristen turned and ran from the three goblins that he and Arialis killed. He ran to the south while he shouted, "Protect the townfolk!" He circled around the town guard that was fighting a goblin on a table and slashed at the goblin behind it (L12).

Talitha sees the dead goblin in front of her. She is relieved for a second that not more people got hurt, but then the other goblins show up. They are far away, but she tries to make it to one of them to hit him.

Round 4
Arialis cuts down the blinded goblin.

Razyll cuts down a goblin next to him and his divine healing binds all of Faeli's wounds.

Faeli moves and lets loose another blast of colorful sparkles that catches the three goblins square in the face.

Tristen cuts across the battlefield before slashing one of the goblin pyromancers.

Talitha likewise cross the field of battle and cuts down a goblin.

Kaddock fires three arrows, and ends up killing the last goblin threatening the fleeing townsfolk.

The last of the civilians in the area cram themselves into the cathedral or flee away from the combat. From the Northwest where a large group of them had fled there is the sounds of screaming and more fighting, fairly close to where the adventurers are currently fighting.

Round 5
Most of the goblins are too busy clearing their vision to do anything. The one functional goblin pyromancer steps back and blows out another gout of flame encompassing Tristen and the guard. The guard is very badly burned but stays in the fight.
Goblin Pyro (L15) - A1: Step to L15 A2/A3: Burning Hands - 7 fire damage to Tristen

The guards continue fighting the goblins. One of the stunned goblins is cut down and the pyromancer is cut twice but somehow the hardy creature continues brandishing his torch at the heroes and guards arrayed against him.

Combat Tracker

Kaddock continues his deadly round of bow fire.  As the foes fall he sights on the goblin that had so badly burned the gnome spell caster.  He focused his ire and then fired twice.

"Let's hurry up and get this area mopped up so we can help out where those screams came from!" Arialis does not appear to be in good shape, but even in her condition it's amazing the blinding speed and ferocity that she moves with when cutting down the goblins. Just like that she is charging off once more, this time towards Faeli and stopping next to her to assault the goblin closest to her!

"Looks like I'm gonna have to be watching over you, eh?" She said just loud enough for the Gnome to hear, her voice obviously pained. Something she was hiding when she was barking orders.

Faeli gestured and pronounced gnomish words of power and another plate flew through the air at the goblin at L15. She looked up when Arialis approached. "By the Spheres, you are hurt." Faeli said before she turned and cried out for Razyll.

"RAAAZ!"

Razyll smirked as the gnome yelled. With any luck they would all make it out of this ambush with their skin in tact. The half-orc rose his holy symbol of Sarenrae and a sensation of warmth and the slight smell of spice settled over Arialis as the half-orc projected the divine healing of Sarenrae upon the elf.

He took a moment to growl and spit on the corpse of the goblin before him before he moved to L10.

Tristen tried to step forward and protect the militiaman that was fighting against the goblin. He added his attack and tried to take down the goblin while offering a defensive front with the militiaman. "Get yourself bandaged. I'll take care of this bugger."

Kaddock clips one of the goblin pyros.

Arialis strides across the field and stabs the goblin singing.

Talitha stabs the two wounded goblins but fails to put either of them away.

Faeli's plate smashes into the back of a wounded goblin (L15) and drops him.

Razyll moves up and heals Arialis.

Tristan helps shield the guardsman from the fiery blast and finishes off the wounded goblin pyromancer.

The goblin pyromancer, blinded by Faeli's spell, steps back and then breaths fire in Talitha's direction, catching its own ally and Arialis in the blast.
Goblin Pyro (K13): A1 - Step A2 & A3: Burning Hands

Its goblin bard companion is singed but still seems to be just fine. It tries to duck between Talitha's legs and gets stuck completely. Even as it scrambles to get its head out from between her calves one of the plates of food nearby suddenly levitates up and nearly pies Talitha in the face but the savvy fighter ducks and the pie (and metal plate behind the pie) sail harmlessly over her head.

From the North down the road comes a man dressed in noble finery running at full speed screaming in terror. Those who played the archery game recognize him as Aldren Foxglove, the noble visiting Sandpoint for the festival. Behind him is a goblin wearing the skull of a horse riding on the back of a mangy looking dog. Flanked on either side like a hunter with his servant attendees are another couple more torch wielders and four more goblin warriors splattered with blood and soot.

Round 6
Seeing the goblins arraying themselves the sheriff points to Foxglove who shows signs of stab wounds already.

"Protect the civilians! Prepare to attack!"

The guards and Sheriff position themselves to intercept the goblins and the fleeing civilians.

Combat Tracker

Talitha managers to avoid the stream of fire coming out of the goblin with a quick move to the side, and considers moving to where the remaining goblins are.
Then she hears the screams coming from the north and the Captain to ask for help to protect the civilians. She sees that the group can handle the remaining goblins, so she rushes to the north and waits for the civilians to come and she prepares to hold the attack from the new attackers next to the guards.

Rayzll struck out twice with his scimitar which had attempted to manuever through Talitha's legs attempting to take advantage of its odd positioning.

Arialis lashed out at the Goblin in front of her one more time! Then charged off to join the forming line against the oncoming goblins. "Faeli, got any of those color sprays left? If so try and hit this lot coming at us!"

Faeli looked around the battlefield and she knew there was no chance for her to back it to the frontline to repel this new terrifying wave of goblins. The gnome thought for a moment and then adapted a wicked smile.

Running through the mess of the ruined festival, Faeli spared one glace back to the little girl which she saw was cut down by a goblin. With renewed determination she ducked down behind the stage.

---

OOC: Faeli moved to J17 and hides behind the stage.

Razyll shook his head as he watched the gnome bolt into danger.

"Gnomes..." The half-orc said under his breath as he prepared to charge into the horde of goblins.

Round 6
Talitha moves to withstand the incoming goblin charge.

Tristen stabs at the blind goblin pyro in front of him and while he lands a solid hit the goblin is still a dangerous threat flailing wildly around with its burning torch.
OOC: FYI I did this a little wrong but I don't think it matters. If you are blinded it stacks a lot of conditions
- You cannot Step
- You stride at half speed
- You are flat-footed


Kaddock aims at the goblin commando but misses.

Razyll stabs and slices but the frantic goblin proves too difficult to hit.

Arialis finishes off the goblin singer and then rushes off to meet the incoming goblin war party.

Faeli dashes behind the stage.

The goblins charge forward, swarming over the line of guards and adventurers. The guards raise the shields, letting their wooden shields take the hits from the goblin dogslicers. Arialis ends up taking several hits as she ends up being flanked and swarmed by a pair of goblins that jump on her and stab her repeatedly.

Then the goblin pyros come over and oblivious to their own warriors they bath the guards and adventurers with fire! Two goblin warriors and a guard go down to the indiscriminate flames while further down the line another guard gets engulfed when a goblin torch bearer pulls a ball of flame from the end and tosses it right in the guards' face.

The goblin commando on his goblin dog charges forward and the pair of them bear down on the Sheriff and he collapses under their combined attack.

OOC: In the end -
Arialis: 14 damage
Talitha: 6 Make a DC 16 Dex save or take 12 damage (6 for half. Let me know if you want to react and take it on the shield).

2 guards are dead. 2 goblin warriors are dead. Sheriff Hemlock is disabled.


Meanwhile the blind goblin tries frantically to find Tristen, swinging its burning torch around wildly but it cannot find where anyone is anymore.


Combat Tracker

Talitha sees the flames again and this time she's not able to avoid them, although she manages to cover most of her body with the shield.
She shouts at the others as she sees Arialis and the Captain fall to the ground. "How are you doing back there?! We need help in the front! Those pyromaniacs are a pain in the ass!! Anyone shoot them!!"
She really needs to divert the attention from the fallen colleague, si she dives into the middle of the combat.

(I don't know if the goblin had an AC>17, but if not it's a critical hit, damage 14)

A3: Raise shield

Leaving the blinded goblin, Tristen rushed into the fray. He saw that Arialis had gone down, "Abadar needs his heroes to rise! Rise and fight for Sandpoint!" He rushed to her side striking at the goblin. He quickly knelt down and touched Arialis on the shoulder, shaking her. "Abadar has granted a boon!"

Arialis stood up and growled low. "Thank you Tristen." Then she looked around. "Cut these little bastards down where they stand!" She said to her allies as she lashed out at the goblin at G14 with her twin blades!

"Arialis be careful!" Faeli shouted before she started to look around the area for signs of more goblin gorilla fighters.

Round 7
Talitha brings up her shield to catch the flames.
OOC: The way it works:
1) When using energy damage against an object (that isn't vulnerable to that energy type first the damage is halved: 6 -> 3
2) Subtract hardness (3-5 = 0)
3) Any remaining damage is split between your shield and you.

FYI Shields are REALLY strong for front line fighters.
Fire vs. Wood is no good.
Acid vs. Metal is no good etc.

The shield blocks the gout of flame and while it licks over the tops and bottoms the momentary blast does little damage to her shield or herself. She moves up to defend the fallen elf and kills off one of the goblins almost as an afterthought.

Tristen runs up and uses his divine energy to heal up Arialis before raising his shield in defense.
OOC: Talitha killed that goblin and nothing else is in range so bringing the shield up.


Razyll hammers down on the blind goblin but the tough wiry creature just won't stay down, spitting up curses in between coughing up gobs of blood.

Faeli flings a bottle but it misses. She then withdraws back farther from combat.

Kaddock eyes up one of the goblin torch bearers and fires two arrows at it, clipping the monster with one of them.

Arialis gets back to her feet and double strikes the goblin riding the dog nearly killing the goblin rider outright...but not quite.

The goblin torch bearers surround the party and bathe the heroes with more gouts of flames from their torches.
OOC: Make 2 reflex saves vs. DC 16.
Burning Hands #1 is 7 (3 on a successful save)
Burning Hands #2 is 7 (3 on a successful save)


One of the goblins works his way around Arialis to attack Tristen,
Goblin Warrior (I15) - A1: Step A2: Strike - Miss A3: Strike - Hit - 1 damage



The goblin rider swings its large horsechopper at Talitha

Goblin Rider - A1: Strike - Hit - 7 slashing damage


The goblin rider then clicks his heels into the dog and it jumps forward before it suddenly rears back, scratching its hind quarters rapidly showering Tristen and Talitha with a cloud of dry dead skin flakes.

OOC: Tristen & Talitha must make a DC 17 Fortitude save or be Sickened 1 (-1 to all checks, can't swallow potions.) Can be cured by spending an action to retch triggering another Fort save opportunity.

Combat Tracker

Talitha covers herself from the attack of the goblin rider. She manages to protect herself from most of the damage, but some of it ends up landing in the shield and the arm that is holding it.
Unfortunately, that means that the two torches that come out of the hands of the other goblins hit her on in her torso and another in her back. She screams in pain.
"As I said, someone please take care of the %8£$#@ pyromaniacs!"
She turns towards the goblin rider and she hits him hard with her bastard sword.


19:24, Today: Talitha rolled 15 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 9.  Fortitude check. -1 to all checks (not against all rolls, right?)

19:21, Today: Talitha rolled 15 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 8.  Reflex Save 1.

If the math are correct, that's 7 #burninghands1 + 7 #burninghands2 + (7-5)/2= 1 #horsechopper = 15 damage  and 1 damage to the shield

Razyll growled in frustration as the blind goblin danced between his strikes with ease. With a
snarl he thrust forward his holy symbol and projected the healing grace of Sarenrae upon Talitha.

"On it!" Arialis said, as she turned around and slashed out with both her blades at the pyro-goblin behind her. At the same time, she uttered a single word... "SHIELD!" ...causing a glowing shield of force to be raised in front of her. It was the first time anyone saw her use...magic. Wait...she can use MAGIC TOO?

Round 8
Talitha brings her shield up to protect herself from the flames but still ends up taking a fair amount of damage.
OOC: Shield blocks all of a burning hands no damage to it so 14 damage in total, 0 to shield

Talitha tries to cleave the goblin rider off the back of his dog but the dog jukes to the side and the sudden itching is enough of a distraction to throw off her aim. Preparing for a counterattack she raises her shield again.

Razyll misses the blind goblin but drops healing energy onto Talitha.

Arialis slashes at the goblin torch bearer but the wiry bastard just won't stay down. Even as it is choking on its own blood it spits out curses and at her and scrambles back to its feet.

Arialis is engulfed in flame but thankfully Tristen's divine protection shields her a little bit.
OOC: Stepping in on this. Arialis would normally have gone to 0 from the burning hands despite making both reflex saves but Tristen who is adjacent to her can use his Retributive Strike to prevent 3 damage and save her.


Faeli sends a projectile that finally knocks the blind pyro out of its misery.

Kaddock continues to fire into the melee but fails to peg a single goblin.

Tristen shakes off the effects of the dead skin and his shield likewise takes the brunt of a flaming spell, although his wooden shield isn't nearly as resistant to flames as one made of steel.

Tristen is badly burnt but is able to move past Arialis, kill the wounded torch bearer, and then move back to pin down the last pyro so they are not burnt alive from behind.


Next to Kaddock the nobleman, Foxglove, pulls a dagger off of one of the fallen goblins and throws it, hitting the goblin warrior behind Arialis and killing it.

The goblin torch bearer actually runs away from Tristen after watching him dispatch its companion and instead it nearly bumps into Kaddock and Aldric Foxglove. With another big breath it engulfs the pair in flames from its torch, spitting out yet another fireball.

OOC: Make a DC 16 reflex save. 8 fire damage (save for half)

The goblin commando is giggling for joy. Even though its warband has been decimated it thinks victory is at hand. It chops at Talitha with its horsechopper which Talitha takes on the shield.

The goblin then uses its hooked chopper to try and sweep Talitha off her feet but she jumps over the sweep. Finally it kicks its heels in and the goblin dog snaps at Talitha but she blocks it with her shield.

"Everyone, we've nearly got them!" She called out as she moved to G14 and slashed at the Goblin, if the Goblin is dead thank to Talitha, she'll attack the Goblin Dog instead.

Round 9
Talitha cleaves the goblin rider off the back of the goblin dog.

Razyll moves to intercept the last goblin standing.

Faeli blinds the goblin dog.

Arialis and Tristen make quick work of the now disabled goblin dog.

With the torch bearer too busy avoiding Razyll Kaddock sees an opening, drops his bow, pulls out his greatsword and walks over and lops the head of the goblin torch bearer clean off its head.
OOC: Crit for Kaddock! 16 damage for the kill.

Combat is over!

Sheriff Hemlock is lying on the ground looking very injured. He is still breathing but the goblins really did a number on him.

Over by the cathedral the door cracks open a bit and Father Zantus pokes his head out.

"Is it...is it over?"

There are fires burning here and there and there is the occasional scream or sound of fighting but the party sees no more goblins in the immediate area and judging by what they can hear iit seems like the raid is over. Guards are rushing about cleaning out the last remaining goblins or helping extinguish fires but it seems the party has broken the back of the main raiding force.

Aldren Foxglove is ecstatic with joy at being saved. He rushes to every adventurer, grabbing their hand with both of his and shaking enthusiastically.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! You saved my life! Did you see that dagger I threw? Isn't that amazing? I've never fought goblins before!"

When he gets to Arialis he pauses, his hands lingering a little longer on hers than the others.

"I saw how you sacrificed yourself to save me...to save everyone. I have never seen something so brave before. You were like an elven angel in battle cutting down the enemy like wheat in a field. If only a bard had witnessed your deeds, I'm sure they could craft a sonnet to capture your prowess, and beauty of course."

He suddenly seemed aware that he was lingering and nervously smiled before moving on.

"Ah yes! And you were great too! Oh that was a great shot! Your spells were amazing!"

In the end he nearly made two complete circuits around the group.

Talitha looks at the sheriff. She shouts at Razyll "Do you still have any healing magic? This man needs some help."
She kneels next tom him to check if she can help him in any way. But she's just a fighter, she can't.

Razyll's training came into play here. He remembered the boring lessons of the priests of the Dawnflower and how they lectured him while he battled to control his blood-rage. Razyll yelled.

"We need triage, the sheriff is not the only one hurt here. Help me find those who need my skills most! Father Zantus can you heal?" moving within range of the fallen man Razyll will ensure that he is stable shunting just enough positive energy into his form to shuts death's door (Stabilize Cantrip).


Razyll would like to attempt to help as many people as he can, using the tables from the festival as medical triage stations while helping Father Z.

Talitha looks up and realises the town main square has become a bloody battlefield.
"Fuck! Ok, tell me what to do, I'll follow."
Talitha tells Razyll, as he obviously know better what to do in this situation. She has some field experience in first aid healing, but clearly the better prepared here are the clerics.

She'll follow his instructions to better help everyone that has been wounded in the attack.


Can I use my +5 in Medicine to help Razyll in healing the wounded? Should I roll anything?

Faeli rushed around the area looking at the bodies of the fallen. She removed the weapons from the goblins as she went, not trusting them to come back-in typical monster fashion for one, last scare.

"Okay, okay-okay. I can help." Faeli said as she rushed to the girl-in-pink she saw who had been running away from the goblins before she was cut down.

"By the gods...this is bad." as she moved through the bloody massacre.

Kaddock is not a healer and with the combat at least quiet for now he decides to let the professionals deal with the injured.  Instead as a warrior he turns to the noble. "Lord Aldren, with the sheriff at death's door who is in charge here?  We should organize what guards are left standing and warriors and warrior mages to sweep the town to secure it and ensure that no more goblins are left running about."

"I lack the divine gifts to offer healing right now. But if the immediate area is secure, then I can try to refocus in prayer." Tristen looked around. When he was satisfied that there were no signs of a threat. "I'm going to step over and sit on the stage while I commune with Abadar, I will return in a few minutes."

Regain 1 Focus point with 10 minutes using REFOCUS activity

She looked towards Aldren Foxglove and smiled softly, she was still obviously wounded but not the type to show it. She would look at his hands lingering on hers, raising a delicate violet brow. "No thanks is needed sir. I only did what I would hope others would do if I found myself in your shoes." She said softly.

When he realized he was lingering, Arialis just offered him a smile. Then offered a nod when he moved on. Finally, when he done so she would collapse to her knees, using her longsword to balance herself and stay upright.

After helping for a while with the most critically injured, Talitha suddenly starts feeling a little bit dizzy, and the wounds that haven't hurt until now due to the adrenaline of the fight are being very painful now.
She sits down and waves slightly to the rest.
"I think I'll rest a bit."
She could use some healing now. And a beer.

Lord Foxglove gives a shrug.

"I wouldn't know, I'm not from around here. I came to town for the festival and to make arrangements for supplies. My family home has fallen into complete disrepair while I have been away and I need carpenters and glassworkers for the restoration."

Father Zantus and his acolytes were the first out of the the cathedral. Skilled in healing but not the ways of battle they set to work treating the wounded. The sheriff and his men, including Vorn, were able to be saved but many townsfolk were not so lucky having been killed or bled out during the battle. In the end despite the early horror only five townsfolk lost their lives in this part of town.

The party helps out where they can but eventually things move out of their hands as the temple acolytes and local herbalists and midwives take over. As they stand around contemplating what to do next Ameiko, the bartender from the Rusty Dragon, comes over and waves at them.

She too has a few cuts and scratches and her boots have a considerable amount of goblin blood splashed over them.

<b><green>"I heard that you lot were responsible for defending the cathedral. Well done, heroes! I would wager we were attack by nearly fifty of the little buggers so looking at the pile here I'd figure you're responsible for about half the defense of town just here alone.

I'm not an official mayor or anything but while the mayor is busy getting the town back in order let me say on behalf of everyone here how thankful we are for your heroism. If any of you care to stay you are welcome to stay at my inn, on the house. All the food and booze you can stuff inside yourself is on me.

If it isn't too crass to suggest, I suspect that Sandpoint is going to need a lot of help in the coming days so to lay all the cards on the table I'm hoping to keep you as my guests of honor so that you're around just in case we need a few more acts of heroism in the coming days."

She grins and throws a friendly wink at them letting them know that whether they stay or not, they are more than welcome to a clean bed and a bite to eat.

Kaddock brought water to Talitha and Arialis seeing them waver after the fight completed.  He laughed with Talitha and returned a minute or two later with a beer in a chipped mug. "It took a bit but let's hope this works."

He shrugged as well at lord Aldren's explanation.  "Is your estate in town or nearby?"

Later as Ameiko gathered them together he nodded. "We did what we could to defend ourselves and the others.  Are these types of attacks normal?  Is there a goblin tribe nearby?"  Kaddock smiled. "Thank you for the offer of hospitality.  I know I'll gladly take it up at least as long as I'm here."

"We did what was right." She said softly to Ameiko. "To stand there and do nothing, one of my blood couldn't do it. Even the good Lord Foxglove did his part as well." She said, mentioning him, and his knife throw. "The room, will be appreciated, thank you.

Then she looked towards Lord Foxglove. "We have not formally met. I am the Lady Arialis Moonrider-Dragonfeather, the second child of the heads of the elven House of Moonrider-Dragonfeather." She said offering him a small bow. "If you need some assistance with that I could send word to my House, see if they can send some help. I am sure they can spare a carpenter or two, and maybe a glass spinner."

Then she looked towards Razyll. "...if I remove my armor, can you, help close this wound?"

Tristen spent several minutes in order to refocus his divine gifts from Abador. He enjoyed the others as they were discussing several things in the aftermath of the goblin invasion. He heard Lady Arialis Moonrider-Dragonfeather talk of removing her armor. "I can offer some healing, Lady Arialis." He hurried and bowed finding himself in the company of two nobles.

Talitha is still sitting in the same place she sat a few minutes ago. She's been looking at the rest of the people run around with fresh water and clean clothes for the wounded. She has some injuries that would require assistance, but it seems noone has noticed it so far.
"I'll gladly take the offer as well, Ms. Ameiko. And I won't decline the offer of one of your famous spicy pies if you add that to the offer as well.
She smiles but the pain in one of her arms turns it into a grimace.
"And as everyone is saying, we did what we considered we had to do at that moment, and we'll do it again if it's needed, although I would prefer a nap, some food and bandages in between fights..."

Aldren laughed and shook his head.

"Oh no, not at all. If it was my renovations would be much easier. It's about a day's walk South and West of here. If you ever want to come visit you will of course be guests of honor for what you have done although right now I would ask you wait until my renovations have been completed. It would be embarrassing to treat such fine heroes in its current state of repair but once it is completed I will of course send word if I can."





Aldren Foxglove bowed, taking Arialis' hand to kiss it in a formal manner.

"And I am Aldren Foxglove of the Magnimar Foxgloves. About 80 years ago my Great Uncle built Foxglove Manor as a way to establish our own lands and get out of the crowded city but things just never seemed to work out. There was a tragic accident when I was young so we moved back out again. For over a decade the manor has sat abandoned. My sisters live in Korvosa now and want no part in it so it is up to me to restore both my family's lands and fulfill our legacy.

I appreciate your offer of aid, Lady Arialis. I can hire the help that I need but an elven craftsmen would be appreciated. Elven woodworking is especially beautiful, so I've been told."

In reply to Arialis Moonrider (msg # 87):

"Of course he can!" Faelie said before she looked back to Razyll "Right Razyll?"

"Yes, yes-of course, everyone please gather around. I will see what I can do."

Razyll took ten minutes to refocus his attention and faith on the tenets of the Dawnflower.

"Please anyone who is hurt, gather over here." Razyll instructs as he picks a place far away from the blood and viscera of the fallen goblin corpses.

Talitha stands up and moves close to Razyll, following his instructions to the best of her ability.
If he can heal her so easily, he'll become her best friend for the rest of their stay in Sandpoint.

Tristen welcomed the news that the owner of the local inn offered him a room. "Thank you." He moved and gathered around Razyll. He had been seriously wounded in the goblin attack. He'd accept whatever aid was offered. "Thank you, Razyll."

Razyll slowly recites The Dawn Brings New Light. It was often used against evil and despair, but in this context Razyll used the verses to highlight that each new day, brings with in new opportunities. He thanked Sarenrae for his continued existence and acknowledged that even if a new day brings the afterlife, there were things still to be thankful for.

"I will send word to my family to send a craftsmen." She said, offering him a small smile and nod.

Then she would move over to Razyll, undoing the straps to her armor and removing it. Dropping it at her feet. It was obvious she had a decent wound, as her tunic had a huge gash in it as did her side. Still though, beneath her armor was the form of an alluring, elegant, and beautiful elven woman. One that is hard to believe is over a hundred and twenty years old at that.

[OOC: Heh, you do know that to remove the wounded condition is via regaining HP through Treat Wounds via the Medicine Skill, or getting back up to full HP via magical/other healing and a 10 minute fast rest. :) ]

Kaddock nods to Aldren. "I certainly wish you luck in rebuilding your family legacy Lord."  He steps away as Arialis begins to speak and looks around.  Seeing the mayor Kaddock steps over to the important man.  "Mayor, my comrades and I would like to continue to help your town through the crisis.  Is there ought we can do to aid either in patrolling or trying to put an end to these incursions?"

In reply to Arialis Moonrider (msg # 96):

Razyll smiled. "Barely a scratch" the half-orc lied as he started to work on the wound which the elf presented. His hands were sure and surprisingly gentle as it cleaned the wound of the detritus left by the goblins ill maintained blades.

"I am just clearing away a present that your dancing partner left for you in her, this may hurt-just a bit." Razyll said as he finished cleaning the wound and applied cleansing ointments. He stitched the wound with trained precision as he looked over his next patient and planned his healing approach.

"See..." Razyll said as he turned his attention back to Arialis. "...that wasn't so bad."


OOC: Totally forgot that Razyll has Battle Medicine! He could've used non spell based healing.
Razyll rolled 24 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 16.  Treat Wounds (Arialis).
Success The target regains 2d8 Hit Points, and its wounded condition is removed.
In my Pathfinder group, the healing is kindda a gift so the person healed rolls the recovery dice. I am not sure it matters overly much who rolls but it seems more neat to me.  I assumed the DC to be 15 but the target number can be modified due to circumstances by the GM. If the Treat Wounds roll was a critical success Arialis would instead recover 4d8 Hit Points, and the wounded condition is removed.

Talitha sees Razyll taking care of the wounded Arialis with expert care and she is sincerely impressed. She approaches the cleric once he's done treating the wounds of the elf and with a timid smile she shows her wounds to the half orc.
"You did very well with Arialis. Do you think you could have a look at these? specially the burns hurt like hell..."

Fali looked on with great interest as Razyll mended the wounds of Arialis. The gnome held tightly onto the elf's hand as the half-orc worked.

"Oh no, Talitha that looks bad." Faeli said as Talitha displayed her wounds.

The mayor comes around to give thanks to the heroes that helped save the villagers in the Cathedral.

"I am sure I will find a use for you. While we were able to fend off the goblin raiders our city guard took heavy casualties. With Sheriff Hemlock bedridden for awhile I am sure that your help will be needed."

She looks at Ameiko and the innkeeper nods at her.

"I'm guessing you'll be staying at the Rusty Dragon Inn so I will send someone if we need you. Thank you again, I can't imagine what would have happened if you hadn't been here. It's strange though. We've had goblin raids before but it is usually just a handful rooting around in garbage bins or sneaking pies off of windowsills. I haven't heard of something like this happening...well...ever. At least not for a long time."

She starts to look around, searching for someone.

"We have a few rangers who hunt in the woods, I'll see if they will be willing to scout the trails and find out what is going on. I don't want to send you out into the wilderness blind. For now just stay close and once we have better intelligence on the surrounding goblin tribes we will put together a posse to keep this from happening again."

In reply to Talitha (msg # 99):

Talitha's burns were bad, but there were not beyond Razyll's ability to treat. The half-orc produced a wicked looking knife and some of his ointments.

"We will have to remove the damaged portions first, but this salve should help with the pain." Razyll said as he lightly applied a mixture of oils. He examined the rest of Talitha while the agents worked on deadening her sensitivity to pain before he set to removing the damaged skin.

"There, there-just a little more." the half-orc cooed has he finished with his ghastly work and bandaged the wound with wraps which had been heavily treated with salves.


OOC: Razyll rolled 19 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 11.  Treat Wounds (Talitha)
Success The target regains 2d8 Hit Points, and its wounded condition is removed.

Talitha wraps a piece of cloth around her healthy hand and bites it to withstand the pain while Razyll takes care of the burns and the other wounds.
It takes a while and by the face of the fighter it is a painful process, but at the end of it she looks much better.

"I don't know why it always hurts more the healing of the wounds than when I get hurt..."
She smiles at the half orc very thankful for his care.

21:33, Today: Talitha rolled 6 using 2d8 with rolls of 3,3.  Heal treated wounds.

Faeli winced as she watched Razyll work.

"Careful, careful-oh my the gods, you are not going to...okay. I think I am going to go stand over here."

Faeli said as she detached herself from Razyll's healing efforts to seek some fresh air to help clear her greenish pallor.

Tristen gave a nod to the mayor. "Yes, I'll be at the Rusty Dragon. I'll be available to help the town in any way that I can." He waited patiently for Razyll to tend to his wounds.

---

Tristen 4/21 HP

Razyll gestured for Tristen to join him when he had time to separate himself away from the Major. The half-orc prepared his tools as Tristen de-armored himself for the cleric's examination.  Razyll silently went to work on cleaning the wounds of the Champion and mending his torn flesh. He growled deep in his throat at the harm which the goblin's misshapen blades had caused.

"Looks like they got you good." Razyll said as he looked over the extent on the wounds and prepared a strategy.

"Thankfully your blade got the last word."


OOC: Razyll rolled 26 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 18.  Treat Wounds(Tristen).
Success The target regains 2d8 Hit Points, and its wounded condition is removed.
Critical Success The target regains 4d8 Hit Points, and its wounded condition is removed.

"Thank you Razyll, I appreciate it." She said with a soft smile and an appreciative nod.

Then she looked towards Faeli as she held her hand, with a perked delicate violet brow. "..um? I, thank you too..."

"We will await your word at the Rusty Dragon Mayor." She said with a nod.

"Razyll, if you could see to Tristen when you are finished with Talitha." She asked quietly, then picked up her armor, and followed after Faeli.

[OOC: 21:29, Today: Arialis Moonrider rolled 8 using 2d8 with rolls of 1,7.  Healed.

I think that puts me at 11 of 16 HP now, which is ALOT better then being at 3 and wounded. :) LOL!]
