[Game Thread] Realm of the floating islands: A Strife in the Sky

[purplerook]

OOC Khat is buying a grappling hook and a second 50ft of hempen rope

IC Khat - Rouge Female Shifter (Swiftstride) | Darkvison: 60ft, PP 13, PI 11 | Status: normal | Initiative: +5 The promotion, Sky Defender Third Class, left Khat with mixed emotions. The joy of flying - the ground far below, wind whistling - mixed with the fear of falling. In the past, Khat had thrilled in climbing and, on more than one occasion, had suffered a fall. However, a fall from the flying ship, the Dragonwise, means death. Additionally, Khat is a solitary hunter, an ambush predator. The ship is full of others to fly in this magical ship means being a part of a pack. Khat yelled out the chorus with the crew and her other companions, but this adventure had already given the Bounty Hunter much on which to ponder. Khat watched the approaching islands - floating islands - with wide eyes, "Islands, floating islands. Truly there is much more than we know betwixt the Underdark and the Etherial." Khat nodded to Captain Frostraven, "This is your hunting ground, not mine. However, my skill in Persuasion is available should you need it to find Angellght." If the Captain did not need her, Khat turned to Prrup-tik "I've seen the benefits of your hook. It was all that separated Suluruk from a messy death. I'm off to purchase one and a second length of rope. Care to accompany me."

You expend the die only if the roll succeeds.Psi-Bolstered Knack. You can establish telepathic communication between yourself and others. As an action, choose one or more creatures you can see, up to a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus, and then roll one Psionic Energy die. For a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the chosen creatures can speak telepathically with you, and you can speak telepathically with them. To send or receive a message (no action required), you and the other creature must be within 1 mile of each other. A creature can't use this telepathy if it can't speak any languages, and a creature can end the telepathic connection at any time (no action required). You and the creature don't need to speak a common language to understand each other. The first time you use this power after each long rest, you don't expend the Psionic Energy die. All other times you use the power, you expend the die. Psychic Whispers. You can manifest your psionic power as shimmering blades of psychic energy. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can manifest a psychic blade from your free hand and make the attack with that blade. This magic blade is a simple melee weapon with the finesse and thrown properties. It has a normal range of 60 feet and no long range, and on a hit, it deals psychic damage equal to 1d6 plus the ability modifier you used for the attack roll. The blade vanishes immediately after it hits or misses its target, and it leaves no mark on its target if it deals damage. After you attack with the blade, you can make a melee or ranged weapon attack with a second psychic blade as a bonus action on the same turn, provided your other hand is free to create it. The damage die of this bonus attack is 1d4, instead of 1d6.Soulknife feature - 60ft range, (A)1d6+Dex, (BA)1d4+Dex, Psionic Damage Spells or Conditions in effect: Sky Defender 3rd Class - once per combat, ignore negative effects like headwind, airship movement, or poor view.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1 (you ignore the Max.

Valerius kept his hands on the railing as the great ship slowed, lowering itself to a stop. As to what he wanted to accomplish, there wasn't much he could think of beyond another couple drinks and a nap. There was no sense depleting the ship's stores, so he headed down to the pub for his drinks before coming back to climb in his hammock to take care of his 40 winks.

She continued to watch the amazing surrounding as they arrived, unable to take her eyes off the captivating sight. Her mouth hung open in awe, and only when she spotted a crew member staring in her direction did she shut it in an attempt to look more poised. "Magnificent..." she breathed, almost hoarsely. When the great ship finally docked, she spun around to face the captain to obtain further instructions. Shore leave. It was something she was familiar with, and definitely not something to be missed. An opportunity to feel soil beneath her boots, even if the soil itself was floating who knows how high in the air. "The tavern sounds like a sensible idea," she intoned to Valerius. It looked like some of her other companions were going shopping, but the sound of a drink appealed to her after recent experiences. Of late drinking had become more of a test of sorts, trying to check her progress against the Doom, against being inebriated. Of course, though, it had other benefits of calming the nerves. "We should stay together in groups of at least two, in case there's trouble." She was sure there wouldn't be, but trouble had a habit of unexpectedly finding people. "I'll buy," she stated as she followed the tiefling off the ship, still thankful for preventing her from being carried off the ship.

In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.Wanderer Abilities: While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.Unarmored Defense | Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield. - You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons. - You can roll a 1d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. - When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.Martial Arts (1d4) | Your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. You can spend these points to fuel various ki features - Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw is DC 14. Flurry of Blows - Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action. Patient Defense - You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack (range 20/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.Deflect Missiles | Implements of Mercy - You gain proficiency in the Insight and Medicine skills, and you gain proficiency with the herbalism kit. You also gain a special mask, which you often wear when using the features of this subclass. You determine its appearance.Monastic Tradition (Way of Mercy) | Your mystical touch can mend wounds. As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to touch a creature and restore a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier. When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can replace one of the unarmed strikes with a use of this feature without spending a ki point for the healing.Hand of Healing | You use your ki to inflict wounds. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra necrotic damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier.

saluruk watches as the ship lands and thanks borean for the blessings he recieved on the ship and the wisdom of allies was bestowed upon him. "I'll share in your drink let us go to the tavern. I've got to find some of these large rocks and train." Saluruk looks around glancing for anything large in which to train in athletics.

Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland. You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people. far traveler Abilities: Also at 1st level, you can thunderously rebuke attackers. When a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 2d8 lightning or thunder damage (your choice) on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.wrath of the storm: Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to wield the power of the storm with unchecked ferocity. When you roll lightning or thunder damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.

You start with two such effects: Turn Undead and an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC(14).Channel divinity Racial Traits: When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead.

The Greenwind Islands The Dragonrise has barely anchored when the adventurers disembark. The ground is firm and no movement can be felt. A cold wind blows steadily across the meadows and fields. It's more like the group is standing on a cold plateau in some mountain area. Only the slowly drifting islands and clouds near and on the horizon indicate that the West Marches are indeed very far away. A few gray birds that have been making their rounds over the other airship circle briefly over Dragonrise before turning back to the other airship again. The group of adventurers marches briskly across the field and climbs over a rotten wooden fence whose old slats look suspiciously like parts of a ship's hull. A dirt road leads to the village and is overgrown with short, hard, lean grass and moss, like those found in the north. The countless conifers and bushes are also low and wind-swept. A few furry cows watch you from a distance. Just before the village there is a large shed whose rancid fish smell can be smelled from afar, despite the steady wind. Or because of the steady wind? Through the open doors, in the semi-darkness, huge copper kettles, dozens of barrels and large yellow fluffy strips can be seen, which were also unloaded from the other airship. A small, shaggy dog barks angrily at the new arrivals. A small child with a fur hat and a red cloth dragon under her arm watches the adventurers with open mouth and wide eyes. Prrup-tik on Cujo in particular seems to fascinate her. The only pub in the village "Golden Jackdaw" is quickly found. A no doubt very lifelike jackdaw with a wine jug are depicted on a weathered wooden sign. Inside there is a yawning emptiness, only an older woman comes after a few shouts and pours a cold, slightly sour and - as Valerius finds - also rather watery beer for the price. Somewhere in the background, her husband is rumbling and moving logs. But when asked about the whereabouts of the Angellight, she just shrugs apathetically. "Airships come and go. Some of them don't come anymore. Storms, dragons, all kinds of things fly through the air." She shrugs again. "Some eats you, some eats your ship." Apparently, the fate of the crew doesn't seem to touch her. Khat is currently standing with the village blacksmith, a fat dwarf, contemplating her newly acquired grappling hook and rope. Good work, no doubt, even if the twice as normalprice is outrageous. But what bothers her most is how the dwarf greedily stares at her all the time, rubbing his fat fingers in a weird way. Suddenly the earth shakes and a deep crunching fills the village. The dwarf stumbles and falls to the ground, and in the Golden Jackdaw, a lot of beer is spilled on fresh clothes in shock. BOOM! CRUNCH! BOOM! CRUNCH! BOOM! CRUNCH!Now, the sound repeats muuuuch louder!

DMoC: No need to roll for initiative yet.

IC Khat - Rouge Female Shifter (Swiftstride) | Darkvison: 60ft, PP 13, PI 11 | Status: normal | Initiative: +5 Kat is a former urban bounty hunter and professional escort whose services involved varying levels of protection and charm. So, the look the Dwarf is giving her is nothing new to the Swiftstride Shifter. While some are repulsed by her black and white fur, others are oddly attracted to it. Khat had run into more than one being who had made the mistake of thinking they could take what they could not purchase. In the end, Khat decided with whom she would play, and money was a secondary consideration. The money for the grappling hook and rope was both outrageous and a pittance compared to what was in Khat's purse and the possible life of one of her pack mates. Still, the Rogue had skills and the desire to practice with them, or perhaps it was merely the instinctual thrill of the hunt, overpowering the Dwarf verbally as opposed to physically, or perhaps Khat thought, "He'll decide to take physically what he cannot get through negotiation." Khat spared a glance to her wold mounted companion, "No, he's not idiot enough to take the two of us." Khat gave the Dwarf the stink-eye before getting into negotiations. "Yes, I'll admit the workmanship is serviceable. However, the price is scandalous. I can understand trying to charge it to someone fresh off the airship, so to speak. However, " Khat showed the Dwarf her Sky Defender token, "trying to gouge a seasoned Sky Defender is a dangerous business. What if I spread it about that you were gouging Airships? The Ship would be less likely to put in here for gear or repairs. Worse yet, some merchants might decide there is a profit to be made setting shop and shipping goods in." Khat is no stranger to danger. She cannot place the sounds, but they sound like a problem. "This flying island is nothing more than a large airship. Has something slammed into it? The way it shook the island, it could not be another airship. Is it deliberate or an accident?" Khat looked to Prrup-tik, "Whatever it is, I suggest we get back to the Dragonwise. We don't want to be stranded here," Khat reached into her purse and came out with four gold, "Last chance. I leave with these four gold coins, your grappling hook, and rope."

The druid's nap was rudely interrupted by the shaking earth. He was startled enough that he spun in his hammock before being deposited on the floor. Valerius cursed profusely as he scrambled to his feet and ran for the deck. This was an odd noise for an earthquake. "Hey!" he shouted to whoever was listening, "what the **** is going on out here?!" He scanned the horizon, Perception 21trying to see what could possibly have made that noise.

The taste was sweet, a pleasant memory suddenly stirring parts of her mind that had been inactive for a long time. Despite this, there was no desperation in the drink, nor longing, only enjoyment. Perhaps she had turned a corner in her complicated relationship with the fruit of the vine. She took another long swig of her drink and then put the mug down. Only then did she turn around and enjoy the sights of the Golden Jackdaw. It was ironic in some way, walking into a tavern named after the birds they'd just fought. She guessed these things were a menace in the skies. It was entirely possible that this place saw their fair share of people carried away by the giant birds. They had to have some sort of defence against them. She mused for a while longer even after Valerius had left back to the airship, but remaining conscious of the time in the back of her mind. It didn't take long when a great crack and boom reverberated around the floating island. She jumped up, startled, grabbing hold of the first person who was near her. "That happen often. Is that familiar or is it new?" There was an urgency in her voice, but she couldn't imagine there was anything normal about that sound. Still, it was a fool's hope. She shoved the patron backward, flung a coin on the table and then dashed for the door, rushing in the direction of the airship. She had to get there before it was too late. As she ran, she tried to take in the mood of the people. How were they responding to this noise? That would determine the urgency of her pace.

In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.Wanderer Abilities: While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.Unarmored Defense | Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield. - You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons. - You can roll a 1d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. - When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.Martial Arts (1d4) | Your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. You can spend these points to fuel various ki features - Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw is DC 14. Flurry of Blows - Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action. Patient Defense - You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.

When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack (range 20/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.Deflect Missiles | Implements of Mercy - You gain proficiency in the Insight and Medicine skills, and you gain proficiency with the herbalism kit. You also gain a special mask, which you often wear when using the features of this subclass. You determine its appearance.Monastic Tradition (Way of Mercy) | Your mystical touch can mend wounds. As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to touch a creature and restore a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier. When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can replace one of the unarmed strikes with a use of this feature without spending a ki point for the healing.Hand of Healing | You use your ki to inflict wounds. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra necrotic damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier. You can use this feature only once per turn.Hand of Harm | You can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your monk level.Slow Fall Racial Traits: Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions.

The Greenwind Islands At Khat's open threat, the dwarf doesn't pull a face. "I'm the only merchant here," he claims, grinning broadly and showing a gap-toothed jaw, "but I don't want to be a brute." He scratches his head and feigns some deliberation, then takes the money. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, ma'am." Meanwhile, Valerius looks over the railings. There is nothing to be seen at first except more clouds, but then he spots large dark shadows under the white monotony, as if from mountain peaks. Kazza Leafwind is still sitting in the inn when the earth shakes loudly. The innkeeper, who had just been confident, turns white as a sheet. "This is the rim of the Darkground Highlands. We weren't supposed to reach them until next week!" She curses and whines. "By all the gods, I hope nothing comes climbing up the root this time...!" Then she flees to the kitchen, leaving Kazza alone at the counter with an unpaid drink and a mug of watery beer. But Kazza pays and runs back to the airship. Outside, she also encounters Saluruk, Prrup-tik on Cujo, and Khat. A heavy bell rings wildly in the tower of the village temple. On the way back, the four watch as the people of the village shoo the animals and children into the houses and stables. Occasionally, men and women with simple weapons and light armor approach the adventurers, walking toward the village square. The Dragonrise is also bustling with activity, but not panic. Able Aeronaut Grudark Ironcloud greets the group. "Ay, air defenders! Very good that you are all here. The captain is about to depart. We know where to go!" The half-orc grins derisively, showing a row of fangs and four sharp tusks. "It's off to the Dragon Cave Islands!"

If a dragon is in charge of this then it will likely be a worthy foe. I can push the winds in our favor saluruk begins to cast gust of wind into the sails once everyone is on the ship.

IC Khat - Rouge Female Shifter (Swiftstride) | Darkvison: 60ft, PP 13, PI 11 | Status: normal | Initiative: +5 ...the Dragon Cave Islands!" Khat groaned at the announced destination. "I suppose the name is self-explanatory. Islands mean floating, where one false step means plummeting to a grisly death. Caves means large dark holes in the ground where there is limited room to maneuver, and Dragon meaning that at least some of the caves are inhabited by Dragons and or some of their flying relatives - such as Wyverns and Drakes." Khat questioned Able Aeronaut Grudark Ironcloud, "What of the booming and shaking of Greenwind Islands? Is it some threat to the ship?" Khat looked to Prrup-tik, her Ranger companion. " I understand why the good captain recruited a band of adventurers. However, I fear that even such as we would be overmatched by a true Dragon." Khat looked at the ladder to the Upper Crows nest. "I suppose we should take our positions."

After you attack with the blade, you can make a melee or ranged weapon attack with a second psychic blade as a bonus action on the same turn, provided your other hand is free to create it.

Valerius "I'm not sure if I should be relieved or more concerned about the response here. I feel like someone other than the new guy should be worried! What's going on?"
