Had andrea rolled two [1]s instead of two [2]s in Kashyyk's arrowfest roll, we'd probably be missing a player now...
------------
Turn 22 ------------
Anyhow, I graciously attempt to understand what the elf is saying using that fun headband, and try to convince andrea not to kill my potential recruit.
| As the elf attempts to speak to you, you concentrate on trying to understand him and communicate with him. Getting the same fuzzy feelings as Kashyyk, you manage to activate the band's Selective Translator, set to this world's elven language. The elf is beyond impressed with your group, and offers you his lifetime service as a sidekick.
i use my free hand to maul the greeny elf using as a weapon the shorty elf. i pick the shorty helf by the head. just to be sure that he will die.
| You walk over to the bushes, take the shorty elf by his long hair, and drag him over to the green-haired elf on the ground. Looking at both, your eyes fill with a bloodthirsty rage. You look at Frelock's elf, he is quite genuinely scared of you. Looking back at your victims, you lift the unconscious wounded elf above you, by the head, and smash his skull on the head of the green-haired leader.
| The short elf's head turned out to be too resilient to shatter so easily.
|| As was the green-haired head of the leader. Frustrated, you throw the shorty elf against the wall of the armor shop.
| He's still unharmed. He wakes up from all the hits.
| His bleeding stops, and he stands up.
I cut elfzilla's head off and impale it on one of the wooden supports.
| Beside yourself with rage, you charge at elfzilla, jump up, and strike with your largest axes at its neck.
| The neck's mostly bone though. Your axes leave deep cuts on it, but can't sever the head.
I run to the armor store.
| Yep, you do, but you took your sweet time doing so. (You'll still roll in the arrowfest)
I eat some meat, as my injuries will need large amount of proteins...
| You turn over in your sleep, stuffing a piece of salted beef into your mouth. For a moment you are deprived of air.
| Your coughing reflex kicks in and you cough away the meat. You don't wake up though, but for some reason your dreams are now of cows in shiny armor wearing scuba gear.
I continue upstairs.
| You do so, managing to avoid a few hurrying dwarves who would've knocked you out of their way. The third floor is a massive workplace. A few smithys, large carpenter shops, and some other assorted industrial machinery is located here. The noise here is almost unbearable. From what you can see, materials delivered here get processed into something else, that gets hauled to the floor above.
I try to convince the temple (I'll do it even if this temple isn't full of godly energy) to arise as a divine golem to get revenge on its destroyers, and if that doesn't work I'll convince gods to do it (especially god of war and artifice)
| In your thoughts, you turn to the god for whom this temple was built, and impress onto him the nature of the vile destroyers of his temple, and call on him to get revenge on them. As you try to listen for an answer, though, you only get unintelligible noises in your head. Then suddenly, the temple comes to life! Elves scatter. Massive blocks of marble rise into the air, climb atop each other, forming a massive figure, towering above the surrounding buildings, like a giant marble statue of a... carp. A gigantic, twenty-meters-tall marble statue of a
fish is now standing on its tail on the outskirts of the town. As the fish tries to move, it falls sideways
| and shatters into pieces. The elves all around double over from laughter,
| even though a few of them were crushed by the falling fish statue and the flying debris.
I enter the keep (and go upstairs.)
| You manage to get to the keep. (You'll roll in the arrowfest too)
I grab a door from a nearby building and use it as a tower shield (come on, it only needs to stop arrows)
| You walk over to the door of the armor shop, and try to take it by the handle. The handle breaks off along with a sizeable chunk of door. You got a wooden buckler.
I attempt to gain the ability to use my "visual omnisensor" to see places I cannot see. You know, scrying. Preferably by trying to see fourth floor of the keep.
| No matter how hard you try, the ability either isn't there, or doesn't want to activate by the same method.
------------
NPC Actions:
This elf has pale green hair, and wields a longsword and a rather battered shield of wood. Abdomen slightly pierced by a coin. Head ringing. Morale failed, down on the ground, sobbing.
He stands up and tries to run away.
| As he tries to rise, andrea stomps him back into the ground with significant force.
| He isn't harmed any further.
This one was wielding a shortsword, and is slightly shorter than the rest. His lower body and legs are torn.
The elf makes a desperate charge at Boksi, attempting to take his halberd.
| He leaps straight at Boksi, grabbing his halberd.
| Boksi reacts with violent force, wrenching the halberd from him, and smiting him with it.
| The elf is knocked over, but not seriously harmed.
Rather dead at the moment.
Dead. Beheaded in a rather messy way.
Dead. His past leg injury is not bothering him anymore.
This poor sod is carried by Frelock like a hunting trophy, impaled on a steel rung. He's unarmed and bleeding.
The elf mostly tries not to move, so as not to worsen his impaled condition.
This is a massive, ten meters high beast made of elven bodies. It's mindless now, but still driven by rage and desire for flesh. It is, for all intents and purposes, a giant elven flesh golem. Currently impaled on the wreckage of an apartment building. Left eye missing, a wooden splintery scimitar stuck into the socket. It has a -3 to dodge, -2 movement, but still +1 against all damage.
| It tries to punch Jay Kayell off of its chest, but fails to even raise its arm.
| It's bleeding a bit less, and is still quite alive.
The siege-operator dwarves fire at the beast again.
| They score a hit again.
| The heavy bolt strikes the beast's leg, not doing any significant damage.
------------
Arrowfest! Only your luck will save you! andrea:
| An arrow suddenly hits you from behind!
| Your splintmail saved you a few hundred dollars on a hospital bill.
Boksi:
| You are not threatened.
Frelock:
| No arrows fly in your direction.
Jay Kayell:
| A stray arrow scores a glancing hit on your armor.
| It leaves a barely noticeable scratch.
chaoticag:
| You weren't hit by anything while running to the armor store.
LASD:
| You dive out of the way of a swarm of arrows, straight into the keep's entrance, and sprain your right wrist after landing on the hard floor.
Kashyyk:
| A whole barrage of arrows suddenly hits you like a shower! Your iron skin deflects them all, they fly into all directions!
| Andrea took a hit
| in the upper body, straight through the splint mail!
| His left lung is pierced, he's bleeding badly and has trouble breathing.
| Frelock avoided hits, but his shishkebob companion almost got turned into a pincushion.
| Most arrows hit him sideways and didn't inflict damage beyond bruises and superficial cuts.
| A spray of arrows weakly hit the green-haired elf, leaving a few cuts on him.
| The short swordself, however, took a few hits
| all over the body. Several arrows hit him in the upper and lower body, left arm, and the head.
| He's bleeding awfully, but it doesn't look like any of his vital organs were damaged.
Elfzilla 2:
| Deciding the beast is done for, the marskdwarves switched to firing at the approaching elven army instead. No arrows hit the beast.

Environment:
Tavern: Two-floor building. The door is blown out, the doorframe is torn out as well. Amid the room is a large barricade of broken furniture, elven corpses and trash. Half of the building's roof is gone, most of it is now smashed into the floor. A large hole is broken into the storage cellar. Another hole is busted through the building's wall. There're some weapons stuck into the first floor's ceiling. The building houses your enter/exit point.
Human/Dwarven Capital: Large city on the outskirts of hell knows where. Holds a modest amount of homes, from hovels to two-floor apartment buildings, a set of shops, a temple, and a keep. Currently being surrounded by a verily horde of elves. The dwarves are mounting a large defence using siege engines atop the keep.
Food store: Square one-floor building with long tables laden with salted and fried meats of all kinds. There's a single wide table at the far end, with a chest on top of it. There's a mighty fine hole broken through the ceiling.
Cloth store: Rolls of cloth and various cloth, silk, and leather articles of clothing are on the many shelves inside this building. There's a single wide table at the far end, with a chest on top of it. The entire building is barely standing, most of its roof is collapsed. There's a pile of elf-paste near the building, and some elven corpses.
Armor store: Everywhere in the shop various pieces of armor are thrown about, shields of different sizes litter the floor, and arrayed under the now-broken shelves and tables are enough various boots to outfit a battalion. At the far end of the building, there is a single wide table. The heavy chest is on the floor, broken, a large supplement of coins from it now covers the floor.
The Keep: Large four-floor building. The first floor is almost devoid of furniture. A lot of civilians are huddled together in groups all over the floor. At least a dozen and a half guards are also there. The second floor is a massive stockpile of wood, metal, and stone. Dwarves constantly lug the materials to the upper floors. The roof of the keep is fortified with ballistae and catapults.
The Temple: Tall and proud, beautiful building of white marble, a solid first floor surrounded by columns is supporting several ring-shaped floors held up by beautiful marble supports. A deep pool of shiny, clear water can be seen inside the building. Well, it probably was like that. The entire thing has recently tried to rise up in mighty wrath as a gigantic statue of a carp, but failed miserably and broke to pieces.

Background: [4] The rain is now gaining strength, it's getting a little cold outside. In the keep, korora can feel that the key is still higher.
