Turn 36: Lizard Rangers Arrive!Release the combo elemental from my controll, making sure to dismiss the wind part 1st, thank the angel and tell it that it can stay or leave on it's/his/her own perogative, then summon an angel of mercy and get it to heal the valiant elf
[1+2] The fire elemental vanishes, and the wind elemental grudgingly accepts it probably can't take you on its own, and vanishes as well. [3][Luck 3] The angel seems ambivalent, and after gazing around a bit disappears. [4][Luck 3] You summon an angel of mercy, which ignores your commands in favor of looking over you. [Luck 2] It can't quite manage to heal your wounds.
No experience gained for such an easy spell.Combo Elemental and Angel of Retribution dismissed.Angel of Mercy summoned.Do my best to be healed.
You rest and relax, binding obvious wounds and catching your breath.
Healthy again.I idle about, attempting to use my pure badassery to heal myself.
You also rest and relax, enjoying the hellish scenery.
Healthy again.Use what I have learned from witnessing Frelock's healing to finish healing myself, so he can attend others. (Cure Light Wounds)
[5-1][Luck 5] You perform a surprisingly good job of healing yourself. Maybe you're a natural?
+5 RestorationModerate damage healed, now Healthy.Seeking Seeds+Root Draw. Cast it at...something that's not me. Preferably not an ally, either.
[3-1][Luck 5] You fail to propel the seeds properly, but the way they suck energy from each other intrigues you.
+2 Plant MagicHealing mists+Rain=Healing Rain...?
[2-2][Luck 6] You freeze yourself in a burst of healing ice, rendering you in not-freezing-to-death stasis.
+5 WaterEntombed in strange ice.Combine restoration magic with light magic to create Healing Light!
[1-1][Luck 3] You begin
melting as your vital essence is shed as a vibrant glow.
Moderate damage taken, now Heavily Wounded.Allies receive light healing. Even Ochita recovers a little.Healthy GlowI investigate the source of the noises to the North
[6][Luck 6] The commotion seems to have been caused by several of the mages Sosus told you about, as you're now attempting to ride one. Sadly, you have no apples to properly tame the beast, else this would probably be easier.
+5 RangerNow riding Sargoth. Seems resistant to taming.Follow lil' Dwaree' while reading my book, try to tame a wandering sqirrell as companion.
[5-1][Luck 2], [6-1][Luck 4] You manage to tame... a particularly large bronze-colored stag beetle? It's the
size of a squirrel, but decidedly less cuddly. You sort of wish you knew whether this sort of thing was normal or not, as it's become protective of you and insists on clinging to you wherever you go. Oh, and it's got no table manners, being perfectly fine with eating food right out of your hand.
+3 RangerStrange bug companion acquired.Calm down and get a rest.
You relax with the warriors, recovering from your largely self-inflicted wounds.
Healthy again.Question: What can you tell me about the Northern Elves who are supposed to have started this whole mess?
Answer: Not much. They were secretive, to the point where humans weren't even allowed near their city, which was supposedly a quite breathtaking affair. They were known to inhabit a fairly lush area as well. They were primarily known for their merchants, which consisted of well-made, decorated wagons drawn by animals which they rented or purchased from humans. Said wagons had no known defenses, but evidently bandits and wildlife weren't a problem. Their craftsmanship was beyond compare, forging or carving beautiful handheld objects of a domestic or artistic bent. Aside from animals, they were known to be interested only in coin, generally having no interest in purchasing or trading human wares, save instances where they traded them off later. Elven merchants were known as being friendly but cryptic, and more than a few people said they creeped them out.
Besides that, reliable information on them is scarce. There are innumerable stories, of course, but almost all amounts to little more than rumor, and many of the more important-sounding tales have been traced back to lone, often unreliable witnesses or someone who "heard it somewhere." Many men of learning find it particularly frustrating that any reliable information about them has likely been drowned out in horror stories and fanciful tales.
