Dungeons & Dragons: Wizards of the West

[SnakyDragon]

Oscar grins, sidles himself up, and clears his throat.


"OY! E'ERYONE FOLLOW THE DWARF, THE DROW, AND THE LADY NEXT TA US!"


(I added 2 to the roll since Oscar's yelled at people a lot in his life, so he has experience)

Perrin let out a chuckle at the yelling dwarf, something about the phrase had seemed to come off as silly too him. Since there was people already leading it would probably be best for him too guard in the back, after all he is used too work as a guard and his size wouldn't need too be worried about then. He began too try and make his way too the back of the crowd all the while looking among it too see Draven, and possibly urge them too follow. "Yeah, time too get a move on no point in staying around here too see the dancing flames."

((I will give everyone who hasn't answer a day before i respond again.))

 

[SecondBreaking]

Entarro looked to the woman, and at the dwarf, and shrugged. "I will help, but I will need something in return. I am sure the dwarf will have no problem helping too."

Outside The Crimson Boar


@Atto - Sorin Whitereaver


@Bathe Spellborne - Bathe Spellborne

((You probably don't want to type going through the city for several hours because that is just boring so i skipped it if that is fine with everyone))


After everyone got in their places and the crowd had quieted, down the woman stood in front of the crowd and said, "Alright everyone! We are going to get out of this burning city! If you all stay close together and follow us we will be out of the city in no time!" Turning away from the crowd she led the way through the fire towards the edge of the city. After a couple of hours of maneuvering through the burnt buildings you reach the city gates.


Most of the crowd split off and started to go on their own, seemingly thinking it was safe now. After a couple of minutes you and the others from the group are the only ones left. The woman walks over to all of you and thanks you for your help, then goes off on her own business.


Looking at the city you see smoke coming off the smoldering buildings. The dragon had seemed to come out of nowhere earlier and while you were getting to safety, it was suddenly, just gone. There are several burnt papers scattered across the street, and the one right in front of you is the wanted poster for a dragon.

In The Wilds Of Palanthia


@MysticPisces - Illiana Aurelia Myloris

((I think you might have to wait a little for the others to catch up, but, it shouldn't be long))


As you are walking down the path you hear the door slam shut and you thought you heard a small click. The wind gusts strongly around you and you hear the door slamming open and closed. Looking back you see the door swinging wildly in the wind, there is no wall, no castle courtyard on the other side, just a door in the middle of nowhere, leading to nothing but where you are.


You notice that the sky had started to grey over the past couple of hours, but, not because of the smoke. A storm is coming.

 

[SecondBreaking]

"Wanted poster for a dragon. Interesting predicament these people are in. Maybe we could help them." Entarro said as he picked up the charred paper.

 

[SnakyDragon]

Oscar looks at the Wanted poster and chuckles.


"I be thinkin' they're a bit too late fer THAT. An' it's nah like we can fight tha dragon as we are. I be thinkin' we'll need ta go into tha forest an' see if anyone'll help rebuild tha town. Or at least give shelter to tha displaced people."

 

[SecondBreaking]

"A valid point. Maybe we will find others in the forest that will wish to slay the dragon." Entarro said.

The Outer Wall of Palanthia


@Atto - Sorin Whitereaver


@Bathe Spellborne - Bathe Spellborne

You are talking when all the sudden vines shoot out of the forest and try to grab hold of any creature they can find.


Roll a d20 to dodge the vines.

In The Wilds Of Palanthia


@MysticPisces - Illiana Aurelia Myloris

You are walking through the woods when suddenly vines shoot out and try to grab you.


Roll a d20 to dodge the vines.

 
@Rand- Entarro Toloth


A vine whips out and grabs your right leg before you have time to react and lifts you into the air turning you upside-down.

 

[SnakyDragon]

Nope.

As Illiana sped down the forested path in pursuit of the figure in red, she heard the slamming of the door through which she had entered. Then came the sound of a small click, which put her on alert, dropping into a crouch and glancing back over her shoulder. While she had expected to see a crossbow trained at her head, she only saw the door flapping in a strong gust of wind. It was swinging wildly, but there was no more courtyard beyond or even the stone archway that had supported the door. There was no sign of civilization anymore.


Clearly, there was strong magic at work here, but what could it be? The only answers she would get would be discovered from the man in the red cloak. Not stopping for long, Illiana sheathed her bone dagger and picked up her pace again, though the sky was now dark and gray. A storm was coming. It was imperative that she catch her target before the weather made it more difficult to track. Suddenly, and without warning, some vines that she ran past darted towards her and wrapped around her ankle.

Well at least she hadn't been chased out of the town this time - not that having it burn down around her ears was much better. With the whole town burning down, there was no way to hitch a ride with a caravan, and in considering what to do, she even considered tagging along with the two talking over gathering the town's refugees. Well, she had been considering it until her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden lashing out of vines from the forest.

 

[Aviendha]

@SnakyDragon As you are speaking when a vine whips out and grabs your right arm. It pulls you to the ground and starts dragging you towards the forest.


@Thane Korino Unfortunatly your swing misses and the vine grabs your right arm. The vine starts tugging you towards the woods, but, because of you large weight it is pulling you much slower rate than the others.


@MysticPisces The vine tugs tightly on your right ankle and starts to pull you into the depths of the forest.


@Anuen A vine suddenly springs out of the wilds grabbing your right arm. The vine starts to climb up your appendage and wrap around your body.


@Rand The vine holding onto your right leg is still holding you in an upside-down position, flinging you around rather wildly due to you light weight.

lol everyone got grabbed by the right arm. Can't believe i rolled two four times in a row

[SecondBreaking]

Entarro swung his swords at the vines in wide arcs, meant to cut the vines without harming himself.


[dice]10992[/dice]


(WITH BOTH SWORDS) So....

 

[MysticPisces]

Illiana's arms flailed wildly as she tried to reach for something to grab on to. The vine had dragged her off the path and into the underbrush and away from her target. She slid over gnarled roots, through thickets and thorns and piles of leaves. Her fingers managed to find a handhold around the trunk of a sapling, but it would not hold long. Quickly, she shot a glance at the plant tendril wrapped around her ankle to determine what she was dealing with.

@Rand You swing your swords in an x formation one just barely cuts through the vines while the other skims your left leg. You fall and hit the ground where the remaining foot of vine falls off. You see the vine writhe in the air for a minute but instead of receding into the forest it reaches out for you again.


[dice]11161[/dice]


You take 2 damage due to your sword.


@Thane Korino You swing your axe and it cuts clean through a vine which falls the ground. You get a second to look around and see vines everywhere grabbing at other people and civilians.


@MysticPisces You examine the vine as it drags you deeper into the forest but, you can't seem to identify anything about it.


@SnakyDragon The vine keeps dragging you out of the city and you are now 7 feet from the edge of the wood.


@Shizuo Draven Not paying close attention to your surroundings, a vine whips out and grabs your left leg. You lose your balance and fall to the ground where it pulls you towards the forest. You are 5 feet away from it.


@Anuen The vine has a tight hold on your right arm dragging you closer and closer to the edge of the wood. You are now right in front of it, one foot away.


@BarrelOfGunpowder A vine grabs onto both of your arms, you manage to stay on your feet but it is dragging you towards the wilds and you now stand 2 feet from it.

 

[MysticPisces]

No good. The vine's strength beat Illiana's grip in an instant, not affording her enough time to identify the plant. Thin lines of blood appeared on her limbs and face as she was unceremoniously dragged through thickets, tugging at her hair and clothing. As her bear pelt cloak was torn from her throat, she reached back and grabbed it, trying to wrap her body up as much as she could to avoid more scrapes and cuts as the vine dragged her deeper into the dark and soon to be stormy forest. What awaited for her at the end of the vine was unknown, but Illiana had enough wits about her to assume it was not pleasant.

 

[SnakyDragon]

Oscar suddenly realizes something.


This vine was controlled by something.


Something powerful.


And this powerful something might have the intestinal fortitude to kill a dragon.


He stops struggling, and yells over to his drow friend.


"OY! RANGER! Let it take us where we need ta go! Jus' ready yer weapons in case the creature isn't friendly!"


He then readies his weapons for wherever the vines are coming from. If something more dangerous than a vine attacks him, he'll attack it first.

 

[Anuen]

Katrina's physical weakness was hardly any sort of secret; she had always tried to turn any physical problem into a mental one. But as she was dragged forwards towards the forest, it was obvious that this wasn't a problem which could be so easily reduced. She had left her newly raised minion behind in escaping the town, so she couldn't make use of it. With her arm wrapped up as it was, she couldn't work new magic, and even if she could, she had nothing to work it on. Her only consolation was that the obviously far more physically capable dwarf was being dragged along as well, and seemed to desire it.


Glancing at the dwarf one more time, she decided to throw her lot in with his, and moved only to position herself so that the dragging was less painful.

 

[Steel Tiger]

Perrin seeing this, twirled his hand-axe around a little while immediately heading after one of the citizens. Particularly hoping the said citizens had a blade or weapon of some sort too possibly help cut the vines down with as well. He would rather not see himself and others (if he was able to free them) dragged to another creature's or persons domain whom may or may not be of negative intent. He swings away! Although there was a plan B prepared.

[Aviendha]

@Rand - Entarro Toloth The vine reaches out and with surprising force, grabs your left leg and drags you into the depths of the forest.


@SnakyDragon - Oscar Grouchbeard The vine continues to drag you, and you are soon deep in the woods.


@Thane Korino - Gerren ‘Perrin’ Paragon You miss your mark and a vine takes the chance to wrap itself tightly your axe wielding arm. Another vine grabs your legs and binds them tightly together and you are pulled along into the forest with the others.


@Shizuo Draven - Draven Barsnap, @Anuen - "Blackheart" Katrina Lillvik, @BarrelOfGunpowder - Douglass You are dragged along into the wilds with the civilians.


Everyone Above: The trees whoosh past you as you are dragged deeper and deeper into the wilds of palanthia along with the other civilians. After a while something gray starts to come into your vision. As you get closer the vines feel as if they are moving faster. You make out stone ruins and, your headed straight for them at full pace! Just as you are about to hit the wall you hear a loud crushing noise twice and then you can see nothing but darkness.


[You may roll to see if you noticed any certain details or go ahead and make an action]


@MysticPisces - Illiana Aurelia Myloris As you are dragged along some sort of ruins emerges from the woods as you get closer. The vine pulls you rapidly towards an intact stone wall and just as you are about to smash into it, you hear a crushing noise twice and then you are emerged in total darkness. After a few minutes of sitting in the dark stone area you hear the same crushing noise and are blinded by a sudden light. Then the second noise sounds again and you are emerged in darkness once again only this time you hear small groans, shuffling, and murmurs.

Entarro leaps to his feet, holding his swords out to either side. He looks around to see what his elf eyes can see.


[dice]11297[/dice]

NOTHING. >_>

 

[Aviendha]

@Rand ((lol, your a drow, you can see heat))


You look around the room and see several yellow and orange blobs surrounded by red in the shapes of humans sprawled on the floor. The rest of the room is a dark bluish-purple. The room is about 20ft by 20ft and decorated by only a few of what you assume are pots and some other shapes you can't make out. In the center of the room there is something jutting out of the floor, and it is radiating a faint heat.


@MysticPisces ((Nope, sorry you don't notice anything))


You hear a feet hit the floor and the loud shing of blades leaving their sheaths but, you don't see anything.
