Baruuk Talonface
right-aligned image
Baruuk had some difficulty following their new friends' strange way of talking, but he was just starting to make some sense of it when they were suddenly interrupted.

WHOM!

What was that? It didn't sound like an owl, but the bugbear had no idea what it actually did sound like. Cereus identified it as Pavonina, but that didn't exactly help in any meaningful way. It sounded unfriendly. Baruuk paused, frozen for a moment when Dagg spoke up, forming a plan. This was why she was in charge. Good or bad plans didn't matter half so much as being able to make decisions under stress. The best plans quickly fell apart if they weren't communicated clearly or quickly enough.

Baruuk pushed back into the forest, hoping to find cover among the foliage, but knowing all too well that his cobbled together armor would hinder his efforts. If the creature approaching was as temperamental as the fey suggested, it was all too likely that things would come to a head rapidly. He instinctively reached back to the quiver over his shoulder, long fingers brushing fletching until... ah. The arrow. Time to see just what she could do. He drew the magical ammunition and knocked it slowly into his bow...

Day 4

The sound coming from the side had cause the Fae that the group was with the scatter and turn invisible. While they weren't visible, they had taken it upon themselves to reassure the group that they were still around. That was a slight comfort as the group did the same, dispersing among the foliage and random hiding spots around.

Gristle was dragged along with Harp, but the smell and gift of a sweet roll got his quick compliance. Sitting hidden in a bush was something new to Gristle. Eating something as quietly as possible in order to not gain attention from others around him was not. Gristle was a veritable ghost in the brush. A veritable eating ghost. Harp was just a silent and unseen as the Kobold next to her. An'Mal was up in a tree, spreading the great smells of a sweatroll into the surrounding area. Baruuk was blending into a tree trunk next to him, seeming to become a growth on the side of a tree, with a odd branch stretching out at odd angles... with a sharp metal point on one of the branches.

It was only Dagg who was easily sighted, out in the open terrain. If anything, she was bait.

right-aligned image
Suddenly, a swoop of feathers, cause the air in the surrounding area to shift and move, as a large bird-like creature finally made it's presence known.

"Whom!"

The bird was massive. Easily the size of a horse, or bull. It's feathers a blur of colors. Shades of blue and green seem to swirl around and mix in with purples and yellows. It seemed almostl motley in nature as the colors blended and turned around each other. It's body was sleek and as it approached the area that the sweet roll was resting, it finally saw Dagg standing in the middle of the clearing. Pavonina didn't seem to be happy with the look of Dagg, and Dagg could tell that Pavonina didn't want her there.

With a sudden shake, a tail of feathers sprung from behind the bird, making the bird look bigger and brighter than before. It shook it's tail while lowering it's head and spreading it's wings back slightly. It's mouth opened and another shriek came from the bird.

"Whom!"


OOGMYou guys can completely blame hafrogman for this encounter!

Pavonina beat everyone except Dagg for initiative (21). During it's initiative, it's using it's "Amazing Display" ability.
Amazing Display. On its turn The Dire Peacock can use a standard action to display it's tail feathers. All creatures within 60 ft. that can see the Dire Peacock must make a DC 13 Wisdom save. On a failed save, if the creature is Fae, they are charmed for 1d4 turns; if they are not Fae they are stunned for 1d4 turns. Once the affects have passed, a target can't succumb to an Amazing Display for an hour.
So Dagg, having beat Pavonina's initiative, get's a turn. Then must save versus the Amazing Display, then take another turn... if able. Everyone else needs to save, and then gets a turn (if able). If you fail, please also roll the 1d4 to see how long you're stunned for.

Now the fun question: Do you guys want to each control one of the Fae in the battle, or have me do all of the work?

It happened so quickly. One moment An'mal was wafting sticky sweetness down the path, the next an extravagant bird had displayed a stunning array of feathers that looked like a thousand violet eyes. An'mal tried to turn his head but he couldn't look away. He sat on his perch, not unlike a bird himself, staring down in wonder at the dire peacock unable to move an inch for precious seconds.

Daggonae 'Dagg' Bloodbane

Dagg
Character Sheet

 

 

 

 

Round 1:As soon as she saw the creature emerge, Dagg began to move. Slowly at first, her pace increasing as she closed the distance. Half-way to her target, she launched the spear at the giant peacock, her smile widening as it sunk into the beasts' hide.

She closed the distance as it reeled back. Using the momentum she had gained, she threw a wild punch at the creature. Missing narrowly, She grabs onto the spear handle, wrenching it from the peacock's wound.

"Hey there, big girl! You hungry?"

In her mind, she thinks; 'Sorry An'Mal! I gotta divert their attention away from Gristle and Harp.'

OOCMove 40 ft. to get next to the peacock (standing between the peacock and An'Mal)

Action: Thrown Spear Attack - Attack = 22, Damage = 8 Piercing Damage

Bonus Action: Unarmed Strike - 11, Miss


Wisdom Saving Throw:Stunned for 4 Rounds.


Round 2: StunnedAs she finishes her taunt, Dagg's muscles go tight as she stands, frozen in place. Her mind remained her own, but her body would not respond. Internally, she was continue to calculate the battle as she braced for impact.

Gristle
right-aligned image
 

 

Wow, sweetrolls were great! Gristle gnawed away at the treat, leaving an impressive amount of crumbs in his wake. He had to admit that while the Surface had lots of bad things (this big blue screamy bird-thing, for example), it was really good at coming up with delicious food. He scarfed down the remainder of the roll and even picked up some of the crumbs from the dirt. Of course, some dirt ended up stuck to them, but that's ok! Dirt tastes even better when covered in sweetroll sugar!

"WHOM!" Gristle looked up from his musings about the edibility of dirt and saw the massive screamy-bird-thing yelling at Dagg.

"WHOM!"

Oh. It didn't seem very happy about not knowing who Dagg was. It must be a smart bird, as smart people say Whom instead of Who. Gristle wasn't sure why. Well, it's only polite to make introductions, he supposed.

"That's our friend Dagg," he offered helpfully from his spot in the bushes, Gristle just barely beats the WIS save with a 13.miraculously unaffected by the peacock's threatening display. This was less a sign of bravery and more indicative of his own lack of attention. "She is very smart and strong and good. Nothing stops Dagg because she's so great! She's very nice and An'mal says she's a babe! Which I think is good? I'm not entirely sure. But either way, if anyone can save Hellobolis and Yddraixyl and everything else, it's Dagg!"

Bonus action: Giving BARDIC INSPIRATION to Dagg. 1d6, to be used at any time within the next 10 minutes.The pure earnestness of the little kobold was a nearly tangible thing, surrounding Daggonae with something almost akin to magic.

He looked over to Harp Strum, ready to follow her lead (Harp Strum is very smart and also has sweetrolls), but the kenku seemed frozen.

"Food-Giving-Friend Harp Strum? Are you ok?" he asked. She did not respond, and Gristle tugged her sleeve. Still nothing. He frowned. He looked back to Strong Friend Dagg. She was also frozen. It dawned on the little kobold that both of his friends were staring blankly at Pavonina. Somehow, miraculously, he actually drew a conclusion from this.

"HEY!" he called, Gristle moves half his total into the clearing.stomping out from his hiding spot. "Big screamy-bird! Did you do this to my friends? That's not nice! We were just eating sweetrolls and talking to the nice Fae friends! You..." He stopped, drawing his little rapier, "You are not being very friend-like at all! You're being..." --He scoured his brain for an accurate descriptor-- "You're being A JERK! The most Vicious of Mockeries. Pavonina must succeed a WIS save of 12 or take 1d4 damage (see spoilerbutton below)Stop being a jerk!"

Day 4

right-aligned image
With the initial meeting of the situation in front of them, the group found itself slightly on its heels. Dagg was the only one to instantly react to Pavonina now standing large in front of the group. Large as a clydesdale-sized bird. Dagg threw the javalin she was holding at the thing, striking true. The sound it made on impact wasn't the prettiest, and Pavonina quickly found itself dropping to the forest floor, wings down and tail up. Dagg follows the javalin in, throwing a punch at Pavonina that is flapping around wildly, failing to connect. Over her shoulder what looks like a small dart flies in towards the peacock.

The bird, for it's part, got back up and displayed it feathers. Now it was a matter of deciding what to do, after being throwing off the defences of the party. The bird could easily tell that many of the group were still against her, and begin to retaliate in kind. Pavonina quickly went after Dagg. It was all flapping, scrapping, and scrapping.

An'mal

Name: An'mal
 

 

 

 




An'mal shook his head and the swirling fans of purple eyes cleared from in front of his eyes. It seemed a shame to kill such a pretty bird... but maybe it wouldn't need to come to that. Maybe if they hurt it or scared it enough it would realise that it had more important things to do elsewhere? An'mal hurled the javelin down at one of the several Wompers he was still seeing and then let himself drop from the branch, catching it with his empty hands before letting himself drop the rest of the short distance to the ground. The javelin had dug harmlessly into the dirt beside the peacock almost to An'mal's relief. An'mal drew his bladed staff and bellowed loudly, "Away birdie! Away with you now!" as he ran to its flank waving the glaive about menacingly at the many-eyed wall of feathers arrayed before him. It was not immediately clear to An'mal that he was talking to the bird's behind.

Harp Strum
right-aligned image
Harp Strum
Character Sheet

 

 

 

 



Harp Strum was confident she could handle the mysterious threat easy. After all, she planned ahead! Well, technically, Dagg and Baruuk planned ahead first, but she did it just as good, if not better. And her hiding spot, ooh, it was so good that she gave herself a pat on the back for it. Sweet little Gristle perfectly hidden, silently eating his sweeter, littler pastry, with her nested right next to him, a blanket of darkness cradled around him as her pitch black feathers cloaked them both. It was one of the many, many perks of being a Kenku. So, she sat fairly confident in her hideout, dagger at the ready, hungry to exact violence on the enemy that foolishly tried to hurt her and her new friends, and ruin their great rescue, and...and...and…

And all of a sudden all Harp Strum saw was just blue.

Big, bountiful blue.

Everywhere.

Gleaning like the richest sapphire stone, shimmering like seafoam waves on polished marble, rippling and dancing like dark blue ribbons caught in a spring wind, and delicate and soft like the robin blue hue of a baby sister yet to hatch from her mother’s nest.

Blue.

Beautiful blue.

Beautiful.

Blue.




Redball was mad. Real, real, real mad. The kind of mad that didn’t sit and simmer in his gut, or bubble up and out of him a week later, when he was reminded of a slight he’d all but forgotten about. No. It was the kind of mad that surged forward like water from a busted dam. No amount of soothing from his friends kept his flat face from scrunching up. His leaf trembling at the top, shaking dirt free with a hateful tremble. Even his face, could you believe it, turned a deeper, richer red. The beet fae that wrenched itself from an earthly dream boiling with a rage that did not fit his tiny body, and yet swelled in him all the same. Like a volcano about to erupt, he finally exploded.

"GAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" From seemingly nowhere, he burst out from the open, his root feet charging forward from behind the Dire Peacock. All the stories about Pavonina, how it was better to avoid them, how it was smarter to hide, how he needed to be patient, and wait, and wait, and wait, until they were gone, all of it was forgotten as Redball came swinging down with his comically large blade.

Chanterelle

”Chanterelle”
Chanterelle

 

 

 

Her thoughts are interrupted by the appearance of Pavonina, followed immediately by the well aimed javelin that sent the beast sprawling. Chanterelle's eyes traced the path of the weapon to see Dagg darting off at blazing speed, her arm at the end of an arcing throw. The bugbear had closed the distance between it and the beast, but then stopped as the earsplitting sound of the creature's screech stunned her.

Chanterelle moves inbetween Dagg and Pavonina and Heart Sight: DC10 Charisma Saving Throw

On a failure, Chanterelle learns the creature's current emotional state as well as it's alignment.
places a hand on the creature, closes her eyes, and listens...

Gristle
right-aligned image
 

 

So many of Gristle's Big Friends were frozen! This was not good! The big and tall people were naturally stronger and smarter and better than Gristle was, so why were they not doing anything?? Was Gristle missing something? Should he not be attacking?

From around him, the fae folk emerged from the brush and attacked. They were smaller than Gristle, but they weren't afraid! Wait... WAIT!! That meant... That meant GRISTLE was the biggest and strongest fighter now! And if the SMALL ones could attack, then GRISTLE could attack even BETTER!

"Yes!" he shouted, flourishing his little rapier in a figure-eight. "Come, small friends! We shall fight and win with our strength and goodness and braveness and strongness!" He might have mentioned strength twice, but to be fair, he used two different words for it!

He lunged forward, Gristle attacks with the rapier for a total of 20, dealing 7 damage.deftly plunging the rapier blade into one of Pavonina's legs.

Day 4

Pavonina was unsure of what was going on. Creatures didn't normally hit back. They either ran, hid, or stopped moving entirely. Now these things were starting to hit back. In truth, not only where the creatures hitting back, but so were their Fae guides. The tiny arrow that hit her didn't give her pause, but the large (in comparison) sword coming down on her cause her both pause and pain. The pain brought her upright.

While mushrooms, other plants, and small animals sounded like a good meal, it looked Pavonina might have bit off more then he could chew. But now it was time retaliate, and focus on retaliation.

Whomp!

Pavonina turned and focused on the stabbing pain coming from the side, and shot out trying to find a grip on the scaled creature ahead of itself.

This beast was proving to be more trouble than it was worth! She waited to hear what it's heart could tell her, but all she got was silence. And, before she knew it, the peacock was tearing into the little kobold.

"Well... This simply won't do!"

She whispers to herself as she moves across the field to where the little kobold lay bleeding. Her invisibility fades as Lay on Hands: +3 HPthe healing energy surged from her fingertips and into the funny little kobold's body.

Gristle
right-aligned image
 

 



OK, Gristle thought as the giant angry bird started clawing away at him, bravery isn't as great as I thought. Bravery gets you kicked by angry bird things. I think I like being small and scared better.

He let out a wail of pain as Pavonina's claws tore off a sizeable chunk of scales from his side.

"No, please, no, I need those!" he cried. "Those aren't supposed to be on the ground! They keep my blood inside me!"

Mushroom Friend waved a hand and some of his skin started to close, and as Gristle babbled on to himself about scales and blood and the keeping therein, Healing word on self, 6 hphis own words twisted into a warm blanket of healing magic and further knit his wounds together. He seemed unaware of this.

"Please don't kill me! Please stop with the stompy claws! I'm nice and I have a ghost dragon and I need to find my family so I can show them my new noise-spider and I can't die yet!" This strange and pathetic display, complete with flailing limbs, was admittedly Gristle uses GROVEL, COWER AND BEG. All allies have ADVANTAGE to hit Pavonina until the beginning of Gristle's next turn.quite the spectacle.


ActionsGristle casts Healing Word on himself for 6hp, and then uses Grovel, Cower and Beg to give all allies advantage against Pavonina until his next turn.

Lulled into a false sense of geographic security, Barruk didn't look away as he should have done and instead the hypnotic sway of that beautiful plumage bored its way into his mind and time slipped away. It was... stunning. The bugbear ranger simply couldn't look away. He was vaguely aware of Gristle and some of their newfound companions trying to drive off the monstrously fascinating bird, but he was still standing there in awe, bow and arrow forgotten in numb fingers.

Redball missed.

REDBALL MISSED!?

"SCREEEEEEECH!" came the terrifying battle cry of the rotund red fey. Furious that such a big fey like that fearsome, foul fowl could have dodged his blow so easily. Pavonia was bigger than–than everything! Rocks! Slightly bigger rocks! Boulders! And yet he still missed! Redball boiled and simmered and shook with his tiny rage before he swung back around to face Pavonia. With that feather-brained chicken cornered by his companions and the strangers that were not-so strange any more, he reared back his oversized sword again, letting its full weight swing him backwards as his arms arched behind him, and then with another shout, he charged forward.

The swing was perfect. The bladed tip of his sword cut through the thick plumage feathers that Pavonia primed proudly and met the ugly, gray scaled flesh that laid underneath. And as Redball stumbled forward on his stubby root feet, his mighty greatsword plunged deeper along its flank, gashing the terrible fey beast.
