Everyone came to a agreement, to follow the tracks and see if a pattern. They left the tavern after paying their fees. Soon they were out of town.
In the country side it seems alive, but something was wrong. They ran into the ruins of Gaston, burnt homes, dead bodies and signs of struggle. The tracks went to the north east. There? That was mountain territory, also near local superstition about ruins and stuff.
Soon enough could hear something, the party got into position as the tracks did not go this way. Could be it.
Destiny roll!
6. Of 6.
You guys found the Convoy, the tracks, people, captives in caged carts, there was a small roving band of monsters, mostly gnolls, savage hyena headed tall mofos, some goblins, a low tier necromancer working slave undead.
The big bad threats here were the driver and his escorts. The driver, who worked the whip to get beasts of burden to go forward? A Master. Yes, a Master!
One of those that the race that oppressed humanity for two thousand years, a being from another world, who's magic technology warped the world and life into place as it is now. The creature was rather graceful looking, smaller specimen in girth, still freakishly tall, with a forehead gem on it's reptile/slender man like body with a magic whip and armor bearing the bleeding eye of their God.
The escort? Bio mastered beast folk. Akin to savage were dinosaurs, one was flying, the other had a massive dao blade with thick natural armor and row of fearsome teeth with a spikey tail.
Given nature that you guys had surprise factor you act.
Ben: 8/12
Scary: 8/12
Fool: 8/12
Elsa: 7/12
Ben lets his inner fury run wild, givne the Masters gave birth to his people by experiments, proceed to become a hulking flying monster that leaps into the sky with unnatural grace, tackles that dino creature and pummels it to the ground, beating it to a bloody pulp as it fell from the heavens.
As the Gnolls saw this, the 30 of their number got their weapons, only then a massive doll monster, akin to a great ape was smashing them like a fuzzy Kong/Hulk hybrid. Their blades could not penetrate the thick fur as the Rider was going to town.
Elsa leaps and grabs the whip from Master, who proceeds to bat her off the coach with a force wave. She lands, slightly hurt but rolls out of the way of the wheels. Got shield to soak up a frost ray from the jeweled bastard.
The Fool meanwhile leaps and upside down bares out his knife, slashes the Necromancer so hard blood jets out as the undead go down. Landing on feet he grabs his left hand, red energy comes out as it shreds bars, goes to work freeing people.
The Dao Dino made note of everyone, roaring as it twirls it's massive weapon, as a sign to bring it on.
The creature gathers a insane amount of heat as it delivers a fire ball to Scary, who gets badly burnt, howling as he has to stop transform and rolls in wet grass to put himself out, furry doll damaged but could be fixed. Damage was high, and took him out of fight for now.
The Master meanwhile looks to Ben, made a finger snap.
Ben: 3
Ben, given hertiage issue obeyed the thoughts of the creature, sleep. Fell down asleep unmorphed.
Elsa: Great, it is just me and you with them.
Fool: You, really do not know me then.
Fool: 11/12
Elsa: 9/12
:Elsa then got a idea and got her shield up, the Fool jumps on it and leaps into the air again, this time hand glowing again.:
"Get over here!!" A crackle of golden light, a gesture, he smacks the Master up something fierce as steam and burnt skin while grabbing the Dino's dao, lands ontop of it, the stab through killed it.
Elsa: That's, impressive.
Ben got up then.:
Ben: 10
Master:5
Master was freaking out as Ben proceeds then to smash him into cart, so hard he flies through it, broken and battered.
Battle was over and the four look over the bastard.
He told them they got people for the Forest Witch, who in turn works for the Overlord of these parts, the resurrected one. Got paid with money, gea,r and supporters. As the Masters wish to claim the City of Monsters again.:
What to DO with Him?
Master: Kill (Lil extra xp, plus can sell his stuff.)
Spare (Get a Disgraced Master Team Mate.)
Notes: All 4 level up.
Everyone at 2.
Ben: Can pick one supernatural aspect.
Scary: You guys pick new rider doll form (In lore will post first 3.)
Fool: More tricks, pick.
Elsa: More magic, defense, offense, etc.
Also Elsa need to sleep off, heal spell, or heal skill to recover. Same with Scary Rider.
So yeah after choice on Master (Literally, you beat them, they must serve you, a law of their culture unless killed.)
Where to go: Forest (Plot, fighting, boss), Fools Home (Still a option. Now has boss fight.)) or try to go to City of Monsters (Good luck with that)
