Round 10: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Now a larger target, Josie is unable to avoid the nasty swing of one of the mace-wielding Powder Kegs, while the Talon is caught across his back with the rake of a flail. Alerio's magicks are enough to dull both while averting yet another arrow, though his grasp on the swirling eddies begins to wane.

Powder Keg 16: attacks Josie, 24 vs AC = hit for 12->7 damage, bloodying her.

[Scratcherclaw]

Alerio clenches his fist tightly around his flail, releasing an unsteady sigh as he sees the form of Velasco go limp. No... But he cannot mourn. Steadying himself, the Talon prepares for the onslaught.

Round 11: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

In the enclosure, two freed prisoners tear up the stairs beside Brandys, desperate for the high ground and a means of escape. Meanwhile, another picks up the flail with a nod to him and rushes back toward the downed door. Between the armed prisoner and the rattling kicks, flying debris, and other punishment dealt out by the rebellious spirits, the remaining Powder Keg is kept at bay — blood streaming from a tooth knocked loose.

Go: Pohaku

[FinalTemplar]

Velasco lay frozen on the rooftop, barely remembering what happened moments before. The arrows sticking out of his chest were a quick and painful reminder. In his final moments as Velasco looks up into the rainy sky, his life flashes before his eyes. His mother, his abusive father, his sister, Lin. He winces in pain, trying to force himself back up… yet he can’t.

A few dozen feet away, the sounds of clashing shields and weapons sound like a chorus of song. It sounds almost… beautiful.

<”I can’t let go… I still need to save them. Mom… Sancha…”>
<Damnit, kid… I’m sorry I couldn’t do more for you.>
Velasco wanted to cry. The pain, once screaming in his ears now feels like a dull thud.

<”There was so much I had left to do… Lin… mother… it's not fair.”>
<Nothin’ about your life was fair, kid. I tried everything I could to save you. . .
I gave you these powers thinking that they could help. That you’d live to see the end. . .>

A single tear forms in Velasco’s eyes.

<It’s time to let go.>

ooc

Goodbye, for now, friends. Velasco's part in this tale is over, but your tales will continue. Good luck.

[Fialova]

Finding her focus again, Josie flings three more of her hairpins at her surrounding foes, sending one reeling back in pain, while two slump lifelessly to the ground. Tears well in her eyes as a murderous look fills her eyes. With the closest enemies dispatched, she turns her attention to the few near Alerio, resume her wolf facade in preparation for her next attack.

[greysigil]

"The very same. Are you regulars?" Brandys replies, taking a moment to flick the blood that hasn't washed off in the rain from his blade. He takes a step forward, as he hears a cry of anguish from the other side of the wall. A voice he recognizes, and a name he does not. That cannot be-- "Zhou Si??" He hisses as he rounds the corner, with a glance at the stranger that seems to know him.

He takes in the scene for a split second, eyes snapping to a familiar lupine shape, then trying to track the other figures in the melee. before focusing on the closest. Archer. He thinks, moving in to grab the figure, but finding no purchase.

Round 11: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The felling of two more Powder Kegs causes scattered glances among the remainders though the Lieutenant does little more than grit his teeth and fight on. The archer on the roof lets out a yowl and sinks a fresh arrow into Pohaku's back. The Okani slumps to the mud below — his fury subsided for now. She repositions on the rooftop, nocking another arrow.

In the enclosure, the Powder Keg in the doorway to the gaol hacks down the prisoner carrying the liberated flail, nearly cutting Garvelli down with her backswing. She steps away from the doorway, stepping free of the debris being thrown at her. Samiira sees the woman's chest heaving with effort as she wipes the blood from her eyes.

Go: Samiira

[Namelessjake]

"You could say that," Samiira replies to the escaped prisoner, before she quickly turns her attention to the last of the powderkegs in the enclosure. Coming up behind her as she is distracted trying to contain the prisoners, Samiira grabs her by the hair and wrenching her head back to expose her neck which the assassin then puts her blade to, slitting the slavers throat and letting her fall to the floor choking on her own blood.

Round 11: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The final Powder Keg in the enclosure sinks to the mud atop a growing mass of bodies she'd helped to create.

The archer that Brandys had engaged drops her bow, tearing out a scimitar that bites hard into his bare shoulder.

Josie, Hadrurus, Pohaku

You narrow your eyes at the arriving figure through the glimpses of lightning and pale moonlight.

He's shirtless and dirty, and holding a bastard sword, but there's no mistake — this is the same greying visage of the bartender of the Hawk & Halcyon, a backwater tavern a few day's ride south of Vyridis. Brandys was his name. You recall that the outpost was a recent connection made in the growing network of Unfettered fronts across the region.

For Josie, you remember visiting it recently and speaking with his business partner Elmyra.

Go: Hadrurus, Alerio

Mechanics

Samiira: walks, hits, executes.

Powder Keg 8: drops longbow, Scimitar attacks Brandys, 24 vs AC = hit for 8 damage.

Powder Kegs: A ragtag band of Imardanian navy deserters, Borstidian pirates, Grystoki slavers & raiders. They seem to be moderately armed, favoring jack of plate, longswords, axes, and bows. The higher-ranking members have been seen to carry firearms.

[Scratcherclaw]

Gritting through the pain and desperation, Alerio takes advantage of the Keg's blunder, knocking him off his feet with a blow to the knee. Growing tired of villainy, he once again whirls his flail into a destructive tempest, walloping the downed bandit square in the chest with a cacophonous, ear-shattering boom. The body twitches and flails as lightning courses through, until it lies limp.

El-unod's vengeful destruction ceases in a brief moment of silence, the thunder's echo fading onto the sea. Yet Pohaku's pulse quickens as a stray bolt of divine lightning darts from body to body. He awakens, reinvigorated.

Round 12: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The Talon and the gladiator both send another Powder Keg each to the packed earth — the former eyeing a pistol still in the dead man's grip.

With no immediate threat in the enclosure, the prisoners finally leave the gaol, stepping past over a dozen bodies of the fallen. They begin to arm themselves with whatever they can find and rally together. Garvelli picks up the dropped flail, rushing into the main grounds alongside Brandys.

With the lessening Powder Kegs and growing number of threats, the lieutenant barks an order in Imardanian, his voice booming out despite the heavy rain and thunder.

Go: Pohaku

Mechanics

Alerio: reacts, crits and prones, sustains, hits and kills, heals. Powder Keg drops a flintlock pistol that's been fired already this encounter.

Hadrurus: regens, hits and kills, switches state, moves.

Pohaku will stand and nod to Hadrurus before looking towards the powder keg and letting out a battle cry, almost animalistic then smearing some of his blood across his face like war paint.

Round 12: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The grizzled and greying Powder Keg continues to shout and beckon the two remaining gangers, his voice weary but determined. Spinning on his heel, he sets off at a dead sprint northward — holding tight onto his arquebus as its shoulder strap bounces against him. The Talon lashes out with his flail, but the fleeing veteran is too quickly past his reach.

A rumble of voices emerges from the prisoners as the lieutenant passes close by them before he continues towards the dock. "Please! Help them!" comes the shout of one young woman, pointing back into the enclosure. "We need to stop their bleeding," comes the cry of another from the pack.

Brandys, Samiira

Inside the enclosure by the gaol entrance and the stairs, you recognize a number of the prisoners lay incapacitated, blood seeping from their wounds — but alive for an ephemeral moment.

Go: Brandys, Josie

[Fialova]

As most of the remaining slavers fall, Josie turns her gaze towards the fleeing commander of the group. She watches as he tries in vain to outrun her canine form, rushing after the man and biting at his legs in an attempt to slow his attempted escape. You will not get away with this you coward.

Round 12: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Josie takes off north, hot on the heels of the fleeing lieutenant.

Josie

As you round the corner, you catch up with the man, tearing at his legs. You find a set of stairs that switch-back twice, leading down to the docks far below. At the bottom is a small dock, where the boat you had seen before sits moored and vacant.

Atop the roof, the archer looses another arrow at the proned Pohaku, before scampering up the angled roof. Her boots slip on the wet boards, however, and she makes little progress toward gainful escape from the hulking Okani.

Go: Samiira

Mechanics

Josie: regens, moves, charges hits and slows.

Brandys: hits, marks, grabs.

Powder Keg 18: Longbow attacks Pohaku, 19 vs AC = hit for 6 damage, fails Acrobatics (Balance) check, cannot move across roof.

[Namelessjake]

Swiftly moving from one target to the next, Samiira disappears into the crowd of prisoners. Emerging out of the crowd, she strikes at the last of the slavers trying to hold back the mass of escapees, piercing their heart with her blade.

"There are wounded over here," she calls out to the rest of her companions as the last of the powder kegs threatening the freed slaves is dealt with. I've done all I can to aid them, she thinks, knowing her prowess is in ending lives not saving them.

Without Unfettered aid, the prisoners begin to triage those who might still be saved.

Alerio

As you round the corner, you find Josie right on his heels as they head down a set of stairs. The stairwell switches back twice, leading down to the docks far below. At the bottom is a small dock, where a boat sits moored and vacant.

[Chanchabruhh]

Pohaku attempts to charge up the wall to reach the powder keg and loses footing, then he digs deep and thinks to himself before charging like a ox towards the powder keg.

"Kai te taaka, Paura Keg," Pohaku growled

dragging his Halberd before slashing from the belly to the neck of his target.

Round 13: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Samiira, Brandys, Hadrurus, Pohaku

Hadrurus' distraction gives Pohaku enough time to vault up the side of the building with his halberd, and cut the archer down for good.

To your north, you hear the sounds of fighting continue as Alerio and Josie give chase to the remaining Powder Keg, while to your west, the prisoners are doing their best to triage the injured. You likely will not be able to aid both.

Josie, Alerio

The grizzled lieutenant spins at your combined approach. "Piss off, mutt!" he barks in a thick accent, bringing his flail across Josie's forelegs in a brutal swing and counter-swing. He uses the moment of leverage to try and slide down the steep cliffside, but his boot catches and he tumbles a good third of the way — landing in a groaning heap one switch-back below you. He looks to be recovering immediately, however.

Go: Brandys, Josie, Samiira, Alerio

Mechanics

Pohaku: stands...

Hadrurus: hits, attempts to pull, enemy saves, Pohaku charges and attempts to climb but fails, attack fizzles...

Pohaku: charges, successfully climbs, hits and kills.

Powder Keg Lieutenant: Flail attacks Josie, 21 vs AC = hit for 14->9 damage, marking and slowing her TENT PKL. Action points, Flail attacks Josie, 25 vs AC = hit for 12->7 damage, shifts off ledge, falls 50 feet, takes 26 damage and is proned.

[Fialova]

Hampered by the man's powerful blows, Josie struggles to walk after the fleeing commander. Unable to do much at range as a wolf, she once more drops her facade and stands, sending another of her hair pins flying at the man as another portion of her hair drops free. "This mutt will end you!" she shouts back at the man, as it pierces his flesh, leaving him noticeably more wounded. Piece of shit deserves to die more than any of the men he led.

Alerio's eyes go wide as the fleeing lieutenant plummets off the ledge. He peeks over, eyeing the collapsed figure. Seeing an opportunity, he grabs a rogue chunk of masonry and tosses it below. Perhaps it will strike your head, and you will rethink this course. Else, we shall stone you.

Brandys scans the grounds, checking for remaining threats, vaguely aware of Zhou Si and the others giving chase to the fleeing lieutenant. Seeing none immediately, he lets his guard down, just a bit. When did this blade get so heavy? he muses, letting the tip fall and pierce the earth beside him. When did I get so old? Perhaps, I should have stayed at the Hawk, with Elmyra.

Bracing himself on the pommel, he turns to the group of now-former prisoners milling about, praying that his knees do not give out as he addresses them. "Friends, comrades. The battle may be won, but there is work left to be done! Those of strong constitution, seek out the fallen that yet live and give aid. Those who cannot, search the grounds for supplies, anything of use." We may not be able to save everyone, yet still we must try. He grimaces, and he desperately hopes that it looks more determined than exhausted.

Round 14: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Alerio, Josie, Samiira

Samiira

As you round the corner, you find a set of stairs that switches back twice, leading down to the docks far below. At the bottom is a small dock, where a boat sits moored and vacant.

Partway down the switchback, the lieutenant lies prone, but quickly rising.

The bricks and hairpins meet their target as an approaching Samiira gives chase to the remaining Powder Keg.

Brandys, Hadrurus, Pohaku

In the enclosure, the prisoners listen closely to Brandys — weary nods and grunts sounding their approval. In pairs, a handful of armed survivors including Garvelli heads off to the rest of the fort in search of supplies.

Go: Hadrurus, Pohaku

Mechanics

Samiira: runs, runs.

Josie: regens, moves, changes form and shifts, hits and bloodies.

Alerio: sustains, grabs brick, hits.

Brandys: DC 14 Bluff check succeeds, 1 success so far.

Round 14: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Alerio, Josie, Samiira

Gritting his teeth, the lieutenant crawls forward, tumbling over the second switchback. This time, he seems to roll with the fall, his momentum carrying him further down the dock and almost to the moored caravel.

Brandys, Hadrurus, Pohaku

Shrugging off his own pain, Hadrurus is able to begin treating the several wounded prisoners while the uninjured ones stand by to assist.

Go: Pohaku, Alerio, Josie, Samiira, Brandys

Mechanics

Hadrurus: regens, unbloodies, succeeds DC 14 Heal check — 2 successes so far.

Pohaku: skipping forward but can still act in next initiative block.

Powder Keg Lieutenant: crawls off edge, falls 30 feet, takes 6 damage and is still prone. Crawls once more.

Map

Map Info

Heights are listed on the map in feet.

Walls & Battlements: Generally 20' tall. The battlement along the front entrance and east wall are in rough shape, and will require an Acrobatics check to cross. The walls can be climbed, but being slick with rain you will face a challenging DC.

Towers: Generally 25' tall, except for the south-western one that is 35' tall (plus an even higher watchtower on it)

Grounds & Enclosure: The fort's grounds are packed dirt, sodden with rain but otherwise traversable as normal.

Enclosure Stairs: There are stairs in the northwest, leading from the enclosure to the western tower.

Stairs to the Dock: There are stairs down to the dock. These are steep steps down switchbacks, and quite perilous.

Heights

Buildings: Heights as listed. The three buildings have sloped rooves and will require a DC 10 Acrobatics check to cross their peak, or an DC 10 Athletics check to climb over at half speed.

Enemy Info

Powder Kegs: A ragtag band of Imardanian navy deserters, Borstidian pirates, Grystoki slavers & raiders. They seem to be moderately armed, favoring jack of plate, longswords, axes, and bows. The higher-ranking members have been seen to carry firearms.

Round 15: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Alerio, Samiira, Josie

Alerio's roiling winds continue for another moment before finally subsiding as he makes his way back inside the fort, leaving the two women on the pursuit of the lieutenant.

Alerio

You return to the courtyard. Hadrurus tends to the prisoners, while the others have begun to fan out amongst the rest of the fort in search of supplies.

Before long, some of the others are already bringing back bandages, various herbs of questionable medicinal use, warm clothing and stew, and even some fresh bread.

Samiira, Josie

The lieutenant growls, picking himself up from the worn dock planks, before padding across the short gangplank and onto deck — where you lose sight of him.

Brandys

You rush into the barracks, a dim and stinking trove of nearly two dozen cots and bunks. Lining the walls are a number of footlockers. Tearing through their contents, you come across a number of bandages and an assortment of warm, dry clothing that should help the injured. In your search, you also find what appears to be some of your personal belongings, carelessly scattered in a heap in the far corner. Anything of true value has been taken, leaving only the sentimental and practical behind — such as your armor and pack.

You head back, bringing with you your belongings, the bandages, and a heap of dry clothing.

Pohaku

You dash into the shack, looking for anything of use to the prisoners who lay injured and dying. The western room appears to be a kitchen and makeshift larder. There are various pots and barrels of dried foodstuff in various array, as well as a stewpot with glowing coals beneath it. There is a large table in the center, where food must be prepped, though at present the various cutlery and serving tools have been haphazardly shoved to one side. In the corner is a shelf containing a crude assortment of herbs, some of which might have medicinal value.

Continuing into the eastern room, you find it mostly packed full with crates and barrels. With a quick sniff you realize this is where the majority of bulk food is kept for both prisoner and Powder Keg alike.

You bring back some of the herbs, the pot of warm stew, and a fresh hunk of bread.

Hadrurus

You keep hard at work, tending to the wounded. Before long, some of the others are already bringing back bandages, various herbs of questionable medicinal use, warm clothing and stew, and even some fresh bread.

Go: Everyone

Pohaku: skipping forward into this initiative block... passes DC 14 Perception check for supplies, 3 successes now.

[Namelessjake]

You can't hide, Samiira thinks, seeing the man disappear onto the boat. As she follows after him, expecting an ambush, she let's her stolen coat fall to the floor, changing her face into that of another slain sentry from the walls. Different clothes and a familiar face should at least give him reason to pause if he sees me before I see him, she thinks as she crosses the gangplank.

Dammit, Josie thinks, as the man moves onto the ship and out of sight. She considers pursuing further, but her aching wounds and Samiira's transformation make her decide otherwise. Instead, she begins to head back up the stairs, hoping to search the fort for a way to sink the ship with the man in it.

[ratwizard]

Hadrurus, Pohaku, Brandys, Alerio

One by one, the injured prisoners are pulled out of the mud and the rain, and brought back into the gaol — cleared of whatever debris possible. The simple bunks and cots that once held imprisoned souls now hold injured ones, treated by the combined efforts of Hadrurus' and Alerio's keen hands and medicinal wisdom. The herbs brought in are of sparing use, but help numb the pain long enough for the work to be done. Bleeding is stopped, wounds are cleaned and bandaged.

Brandys and Pohaku remain to help dole out dry clothing, warm stew, and whatever foodstuffs can be pilfered from the Powder Keg's stores. The survivors sit in a huddled mass within their former gaol, sipping from bowls and speaking in hushed tones.

The door Brandys had lifted off its hinges still lays in the mud just outside. The heavy rain sprays past the threshold, the occasional flash of lightning illuminating the sweaty faces and matted hair.

Garvelli stands near the doorway, keeping an eye out. "I think they're all dead, or gone. I don't hear any more fighting," he says, peering out toward the main grounds. "What's your plan here?" he asks, turning to the three Unfettered agents.

OOC

Of the 28 prisoners excluding Brandys, 7 were killed outright by the Powder Kegs, and 7 were gravely wounded. Of those 7 wounded, you were able to save 6. One did not make the journey inside.

Samiira

You clear the gangplank in three paces and climb aboard the tight caravel. The storm has shaken up some of the gear and rigging, much of which you find now strewn across the deck, slick with rain. Knowing the man couldn't have gone far you peer about the fore and aft.

You spot a short corridor that leads under the aftcastle, at the end of which the grizzled man stands in the open doorway to a cabin. He has a pistol raised in your direction. After a moment, he lowers it — though not entirely. "Kela," he barks, squinting through the spray. A name, you assume. "Where in the fuck you were? You hide down here? Play at kisses again with that putain d'idiot?"

Mechanics

Roll a Bluff check.

Josie

You race back upstairs, making for the main grounds. You see the others hauling the last of the injured prisoners into their former gaol. Aside from the tangle of Powder Keg corpses, the courtyard appears to be empty.

OOC

[Namelessjake]

Samiira raises her hands slightly as the man aims his pistol at her, slowly bringing a single finger to her lips, indicating for the man to be quiet. "There's one of them on the ship," she says quietly as she slowly steps towards the slaver, hoping to distract him further with an enemy that doesn't exist.

Mechanics

Bluff: [1d20+14]=2+14=16 vs insight. oof

If he sees through the disguise I plan to charge him immediately.

Samiira

The lieutenant scowls at you, before he spins the pistol in his hand, extending the butt toward you. "Take it, then," he orders. "And watch here. No more lazy."

[Namelessjake]

"Thank you," Samiira says, taking the pistol in her hand and pulling the trigger in one smooth motion.
