Graniteboard's crew attempt to build houses:
1d20=18
Maybe it just comes with the territory of being a dwarf, but the sandstone houses built by the surviving crew of the graniteboard are built as well as they possibly could be, despite none of the crew members having any experience building a house. How did a bunch of dwarves leave port at the Waterstone Clan and end up in the middle of the desert oasis, historians will never know,
but the houses built by the crew will likely stand long after they are gone.
Rumble in the Vahucci cult's fortress(Vahucci cult vs. The Katari vs. The King of Arghila and his men)
Advantage: Vahucci cult
+2 Home Field
Vahucci cult 1d20=18+2=20
The Katari 1d20=12
King of Arghila 1d20=20!
The battle in the Vahucci cult's fortress was absolutely brutal with blood and ichor covering the walls. All sides fought ferociously but it was the The Katari that were the weakest, they were not prepared, to fight an ancient cult that had been involved in nearly every conflict in the world's history and were in their home territory nor s souped-up army that were not just "Stand Users" but the main fighting force of Arghila and whose leader can manipulate reality itself.
The fortress of the cult was almost completely trashed in the fighting, The Katari were forced to retreat and did so barely, being nearly wiped out, but they did their fair share of damage to both forces.
The fighting between the forces of Arghila and the Cult was a bloodbath as both sides ripped each other to shreds, each with their respective powers. The fighting had ground to a stalemate, but the Vahucci cult had an ace up their sleeve, an unexpected ally: the Hasasins and their Tao.
Hasasin vs. King of Arghila
Hasasin 1d20=18
King of Arghila 1d20=7
It was a strike that came out of nowhere. The Hasasins hit fast and without mercy. King of Arghila and his men gave everything to fight back but so did the Hasasins and the old ways of the Ki are still superior to the newfangled Stands. In the end, the King was left wounded and limping back in retreat, few of the king's men survived to accompany him back, the others were lost in their fight against the Hasasins or sacrificed themselves to help their leader escape.
The Hasasins had their own problem now, for the gaze of the gods was now upon them, the ones who escaped the purging of the Ki.
YEAR 225.4
All the "Stand Users" in the world had a new enemy to fear, one that does not care for borders or status.
As soon as the Stand Hunters learned of the hurried and wounded retreat of Arhila's King from the Vahucci Fortress all 4 heads of the Order agreed on two things:
That it would be incredibly reckless to strike without essentially any planning.
And this might well be the only chance they get to take down the King of Stand Users.
So, they resolved to intercept Arghila's King before he reached Arghila. They would not risk trying to capture him, for he was too powerful and likely break out of any confinement with ease and fury. It was a kill order.
So, a small force of Shadow Guard of the Stand Hunters was deployed to
attempt to assassinate the King of Arghila in the middle of the woods.
1d20=14
The assasins of the Shadow Guard were deployed well ahead on the King's route, near the Arghilan border. As soon as the king made it to where the assassins were waiting for him, a horrible chill ran down his spine, like somehow he knew something terrible was about to happen. Some of his men swore they could see shadowy figures jump from tree to tree. So the men formed a circle around their king, all of them facing outward, eyes warily looking for potential threats.
The Shadow Guard, being of chaos, were selfish, yes, but this was their only chance. This situation wasn't anything they had trained for, but the assassins had a plan anyway, one of the assassins shadow stepped right in front of the group to distract them, make all the troops face him, then another shadowstepped behind the now distracted group and thrust his crystal dagger straight into the king's back.
The hit was solid, but not enough to instantly kill the king. The dagger went into the king's back, through the spine and then pierced his right lung.
The troops turned around just in time to catch the assassin's dagger arm with a sword swing and cut it clean off before he shadowstepped away again. The assassin that distracted the whole group recieved grevious wounds and perished. The king who could no longer walk, had to be carried by his men, and they passed over the border, trying absolutely everything to save their king, but in the end, it was in vain, the king suffocated as blood filled his lungs. The regicide was complete, the King was dead, but at least he died in his own kingdom.
