S6E9 EIR- Paintings on the Wall

Image
PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony) , Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) absent Black Mountains : The halfling crawled over the wagon supplies to fetch a noon meal as she corrected the ogre, “I’m Moonpie, not Dumpling II.”   Like talking to a rock. They passed intermittent watch towers along the way south, till they came upon a dwarven structure crafted into volcanic rock occupied by human halberdiers. [gossip] “War between Middenheim and Talabecland; glad I’m here. No room for travelers. What about those emaciated refugees?   If we tried to help every starving pilgrim, we’d run out of supplies for ourselves. The pass itself is carved through volcanic rock to provide a vital trade route between the empire, Tilea, and the wild Border Princes (Borderlands) to the south.” They camped outside the tower, then resumed their travel the next day, coming upon another fortress of dwarves. [gossip] Venegral offered a barrel of ‘Bugman’ ale to open co

PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Nuln : Stuck in the line of barges and ships awaiting docking assignment outside Nuln. FINALLY, the river-warden boarded, “We should get to you by tomorrow. Or the next. Assuming your papers are in order, and you have the necessary crew. You DO have a ship’s cat?” He didn’t find the introduction to Katja funny. “With out a ship cat, you must be quarantined due to potential disease from rodents. Where are you headed? EAST?! Then expect another 2 days just to get workers aboard to remove your mast for passage under the bridge.” Gary’s announcement they were called to Nuln by request of countess Emmanuelle Von Liebwitz fell on deaf ears. “Yes, she told us to expect you.” Mor had enough and placed his dagger against the man’s privates, “Unless you prefer to work as a unich, I’d suggest you find berthing NOW.” Gary offered gold, “That should cover your efforts to fill out our needed forms and get

PCs : Agnes (Duane), Mor (Bill), Gary (Matt), Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), Ymath (Brian) Final Answer : Gary fast-shot the bird-headed beastman who called for the villagers’ surrender, which signaled the beastmen siege (those from the woods and others from river boats). Agnes’ Orphans coordinated efforts to hustle the women and children of the village onto the barge, while defending them from attack. Venegral cast fly to rise above the throng and cast fireballs at the enemy. Gary and Mor provided the wizard cover from attack by flying beastmen. Ymath, Katja, and Agnes protected the villagers from melee attacks. Katja faced 3 beastmen who kept her backpedaling as she wielded her rapier (thrust, parry, en-garde, lunge, riposte). As one foe fell, she turned on another in a cleaving motion. Brute force against a skillful dancer who held her foe at bay, even causing one (fumble) to hit himself. They got their hits in when she mis-stepped (fumble), but she regained her footing to stav
