“I guess there is no reason to not take whatever gear we need now,” Sorvani reasons as he examines a longsword. “It could be magical after all.”

"Oh forgive me, I can easily deduce that if you give me but a moment." Erisci will access her Detect Magic ability. As before, she closes ...

A short time later, the group is sitting in the kitchen area having a discussion and taking in a bit of sustenance. Their current situation and what just happened to them is the centerpiece of the discussion.

"Sann, you mentioned when we first met that there is a period of history to ...

The group explored the remaining parts of the complex. Away from the temple, there were no guardian statues so the group could have some freedom of movement within part of the facility. It was clear whomever had occupied this location, left with purpose. Little was left behind in the ...

Erisciana -

Before leaving the portal room completely, Erisci feels drawn to a portion of it. She enters the room cautiously once more and heads to a far corner. There in one alcove, she sees a familiar shield, familiar at least in the sense of her using this in her dream. "Mardura's Bulwark ...

The others in the portal room quickly reacted to her presence and everyone starts talking at once. Laurel. Flare. Sorvani. Gerret. Sann. And of course Kendall. "It is great to see you all are well. What is happening? Why are you here?" Erisci was hoping to find one or more of her comrades at arms ...

Heaviness enveloped the priestess of Ishtar as she ever so slowly opened her eyes. She was unsure of where she was and there was a fogginess in her head. The experience of her ephemeral encounter played at the back of her mind and there was also a hint of a nearly forgotten dream. (Dream sequence ...

Family Bonds

Erisciana was finding herself stymied at every possible turn and her surprising plight was beginning to look somehow hopeless. Eldest brother Zarek had not taken kindly to her accusations regarding Balathu and the plot against her father. Surely he did not share the middle child’s ...

Finally the waiting was broken as the next person entered the gathering room. Sergeant Traken was not the most conversational although he had asked about her background and experience. The sergeant also explained that they were not a normal military squad but rather a special group which would ...

To one side of the room stands a young brunette woman. At first glance one might think she is a serving girl, especially given her dress and lack of obvious weapons. The barefoot woman leans against the wall, her arms folded across her midsection. A look of impatience seems to exude from her ...

The woman waited somewhat impatiently as she stood in line at the bunkhouse in Crossroads. It had been a difficult trip for her to get here and she was greatly disappointed that circumstances had led her to… this! She shook out her dark curly hair from the light rain that was falling outside and she ...

The priestess of Ishtar sat up from the bed she was lying upon and looked around. Her head throbbed and she shook away the fogginess that lingered. It felt like waking up from a dream within a dream.

“I’m certainly not in Immater,” she said as she took in her surroundings. She froze for a second as ...

Erisciana of the House Iltani was disoriented and her entire being felt adrift and ephemeral. One moment she was about to respond to her companion Kaylessa, the elf scout. The elf had cast Magickal Missiles at the same target which Erisci had Held. But the words never left her mouth. In fact, she ...

Abandoned by All

Erisciana stood in the inner chamber of the Temple of Ishtar awaiting the arrival of Aegos, who had been the one to summon her. She fidgeted as she waited, unsure of the reason for such a calling. It was a rare honor to be personally summoned by the High Priest and so it was not ...

Cast Hold Person at Hobgoblins 5 & 6.

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The attack begins and the chaos of battle ensues. The closest wagon explodes and Sleep spells ring out into the enemy, dropping a large number of the hobgoblins. Unfortunately Kendall runs toward the back half of the caravan, leaving the group that is tasked with ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Varda had asked some questions about the Fortification spell that Erisciana had cast for defending the approach to Eagle's Nest. She explained that it was a new level of spell power that had been granted to her this very morning, which included a spectral visit ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

More on the moral discussion -
"And Lucyus, you speak of not wanting to kill them, but imply that it would be satisfactory should they meet the Stone Golem once more. How is such moral justification any better, any less dishonorable, than the direct alternative ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The moral discussion continues...

“Careful My lady, You do not know what goes on in my heart or mind unless I speak it." His eyes an icy blue, "Lady Wimzy"". Erisciana spoke hypothetically as to what we would do. She was not fully speaking for everyone here ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Lucyus suggests the rangers, Butternut and Flare, go hunting. Erisciana remembers that Gerett mentioned he was skilled in this area also. "Butternut, you should take Gerett with you as well as he is also skilled in the hunt. And if you are able to shoot something ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The soldier scratches his beard for a moment. "I'm no expert, but it seems like collecting a useful amount of food could take a day or two - maybe more if we get attacked again. If we really want to collect information that way, scouting the basement could take ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Plans are starting to form regarding the day's activities. The priestess points out that they need food, real food. Lucyus suggests the rangers, Butternut and Flare, go hunting. Erisciana remembers that Gerett mentioned he was skilled in this area also. "Butternut ...

The priestess conducts her little ritual for the group's baptism of fire. Several of the group join in, but she is disappointed in how many have decided to forgo the brief assembly. "This group still has a long ways to go," she thinks solemnly to herself ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The priestess seeks to gather the group together in a symbolic show of success after their epic battles earlier this day. The dwarf, Gerett, is one of the first to step up and join her. She acknowledged him with a smile and quickly noticed he looked uncomfortable ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The discussion regarding what they can take with them, what they need to take with them and what they should take with them goes on longer than the priestess would have liked. They were in enemy territory effectively, with a small horde of goblins within thirty ...

Erisciana, Priestess of Ishtar -

The priestess starts emptying the first wagon to which Ren and Kendell hitched a team of heir riding horses. Seeing this Lucyus lowers his shield and axe from his shoulders and places them near the wagon. “Easy Priestess. You do not want to wear yourself out,” he ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

While retrieving the mounts:
"Understood," the priestess responds, a look of disappointment on her face. "Do what you can. Anything we can take with us is a victory."

“Don't worry your pretty little head there, little lady,” Kendell answers. “We'll figure out ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group assesses the spoils of the wagons and gets a hard count of what's left. There's much more food than they can use and a decent amount of weapons and missiles. Kaylessa and Butternut keep watch for any incoming enemy from the goblin hideout.

Vardra gives ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

While Kendell works on figuring out a method for hitching the horses to the wagons with Ren's help, the priestess will use her remaining healing spells as needed to help the injured horses. Once that's done, she will help bring down the arrow crates from the tops ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Kendall goes to work on coming up with the means to hitch several horses to one of the wagons. It doesn't sound like they'll be able to take more than one with them. “Ma'am, this might be more difficult than I first reckoned,” Kendell tells the leather priestess ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The battle was ended and now began the collecting of the spoils. "Aye," Gerett replied, generally to the group. "Far more successful than I thought. This'll turn the tide of the battle at Greystone, no mistake."

Erisci smiles at the dwarf. "We've struck a ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The early part of the battle seemed to go slowly, as time stood still. The immensity of the task weighed on them all. Now as enemy fell before their combined might, it all ended very quickly. The ogres having been wounded fell first, then the remaining hobgoblins ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Lucyus and Kendall had just reduced the number of enemy ogres to six. Ren had dropped the six hobgoblins with his Sleep spell. The enemy was falling fast. The archers might still cause some trouble for them so the priestess of Ishtar did what she could to counter ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Ren casts his Sleep spell and it works perfectly. The four hobgoblins that had formed up around the sixth wagon all succumbed to the sorcery and fell into a magickal slumber. Looking back towards the second wagon, the priestess sees Laurel climb down from there ...

Falling on Deaf Ears

Erisciana of the house of Iltani and priestess of Ishtar fell back into the nearby chair and dropped her head into her hands. “This is a house of madness,” she whispered, mainly to herself.

“I must say that I am very glad that we decided to have this fallacy of a talk in ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The priestess sees the sixth wagon coming up the road behind the others and more war wagons further along. She prepares to target the ogre pulling that wagon, but with the bend of the road it is obscured enough behind the forward wagon that she cannot see the ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The priestess first sends Kaylessa off to Vernar to confirm their readiness to continue with the ambush. She then sends Gerett off with his group, with instructions for his half of the pincer tactic. She gives instructions to the remaining four with her.

When ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

During the ride to the ambush point, the priestess wounds Lucyus' pride unintentionally with her suggestion. “It is just strange to relieve one with another in the middle of a battle, unless by death or stupidity.” He adds with a ghost of a smile. “Some more than ...

Erisicana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group rides on with the scouts leading the way ahead some distance. Further down the road there is some faint noise but it is difficult to tell how far. As they begin to get close to the place where they had scouted out an ambush the day before, Kaylessa comes ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group decides to move out and engage the caravan. Scouts will try to determine the composition of the enemy and whether they are susceptible to attack. Flare's bird was helpful in its scouting but ultimately less than clear on details.

"Aye," Gerett said ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group moves out, with the scouts leading the way some distance ahead. Riding along next to Lucyus, they discuss the potential upcoming attack. However, when she suggests they consider Gerett 'taking lead' on one prong of the attack in order to see how he ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

While the group discusses their initial thoughts on how to proceed, Erisciana catches Butternut's mocking gesture. A frown forms on the priestess' face, but she says nothing, putting aside the rude reaction.

Vardra considers the priestess' words. "You make a ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

Some of the men engage in some light-hearted banter after the falls of Lucyus and Vardra. “Seems to me many a lady tend to like men with bruises and scars.” He says with a shrug, “Why? I haven’t the slightest.”

"Perhaps," Vardra replies uncertainly. "I really ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group takes a moment to discuss the options that the priestess pointed out. There is some consensus on objectives. Erisci agrees with Flare’s suggestion to get an aerial viewpoint. “Your suggestion is well founded. Send your companion to scan the area. The ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar-

With the archers having retreated, Erisciana sends the main group into the forest in 3 smaller sub-groups. They move out, avoiding the road and move down along it looking for any remaining enemy. As they slowly advance, looking for some signal from the scouts, a ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

"I feel like a drunkard's mug today," Gerett smirked. "As soon as I get filled up, I get emptied out again."

Butternut chuckles at the dwarf's description. "At least you haven't lost your sense of humor, Gerett. Always a good sign."

"Indeed," the priestess ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group form up and begins to move out behind the tower shield wall. A few arrows bounce off the shields or fall harmlessly nearby. Despite being inexperienced in the formation, the group moves well enough and closes the distance by rounding the road. As they ...

Erisciana, priestess of Ishtar -

The group starts to form up and return fire at the hobgoblin archers. The number of enemy is as yet indeterminable, so grouping up and using tower shields to close the distance is the best tactic for the moment. The option was to charge down two slopes which gave ...
