Zomich, Jungle of the Dead IC

[paladinred]

This thread is for killing ZOMBIE DINOSAUS.

 

The familiar portal opens and the 4 of you pass through and arrive just outside of a large town, the air is sticky and the sun is hot. There is no one to meet you so you make your way into the town, there are stalls selling meat from who knows what. As you wander the streets you can see a large stone building that looks like it could be a town hall or similar, a noble-looking female can be seen looking out over the people with a worried expression. She spies you and a wry smile escapes her lips, she makes her way over to you and introduces herself "hello, I am Lady Penwright are you from the Realm Folded Tavern by any chance"?

Ithrinnwen

Ithrinnwen and her faithful elven hound emerge from the portal. While Tha'ali memorizes the scents of the friendlies in the area, Ithrinnwen addresses the contact's questions. "Yes. We are. I am Ithrinnwen. I understand by your written request that you required aid in tracking down a missing person?"

Current Condition

Ithrinnwen: 75/75 HP; Tha'ali: 66/66 HP

Elf Favored Enemy (Ex): An elf ranger’s favored enemy ability grants him a +2 bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks used against creatures of the chosen type, and a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures. If the elf ranger chooses humanoid (orc), undead, or “servants of Lolth” as her favored enemy, these bonuses rise to +3. “Servants of Lolth” includes drow, monstrous spiders of all sizes, and driders; this is an addition to the normal list of options for a ranger’s favored enemy.

This substitution feature replaces the standard ranger’s 1st-level favored enemy class feature. This substitution feature also affects the elf ranger’s later improvements to her favored enemy ability. Each time an elf ranger gains a new favored enemy, she can increase the bonus for one favored enemy by 2, or by 3 if she chooses to increase his bonus against orcs, undead, or the servants of Lolth.

Elven Hound Companion (Ex): A 4th-level elf ranger can select an Elven HoundPage 189 of Races of the Wild. as her animal companion, even though the creature is a magical beast. For the purpose of any of the ranger’s spells that affect animals, as well as his use of Handle Animal or wild empathy on the companion, the elven hound is treated as an animal.

Hatred: Ithrinnwen suffers a -4 penalty to AC and on attack rolls/skill checks whenever she is not engaged in melee combat with a favored enemy and is close enough that she could engage it.

Foe Specialist: Ithrinnwen suffers a -1 penalty on attack rolls, Bluff, Sense Motive, Spot and Survival checks made against creatures of any kind that isn’t one of her favored enemies.

There is a deep rhythmic thudding as the gargoyle plods through streets, barely aware of the townsfolk going about their business, allowing it's bulk and visage to clear the path ahead and giving the occasional straggler a firm, but gentle, nudging with the back of it's hand when that fails. It grumbles deeply in response, "Zhonall comes with the friends from the Tavern between places. Will find the missing wizard friend. Maybe lost in the books. Or the magic tricks! Can make silly errors without proper servants!"

 

It stretches to full height in an attempt to see over any onlookers. "Which path was taken?"

Madison nods, happy to let the others speak for now. Though it would be rude not to say anything, "Hello."

"If the pay is good, we're available."

[paladinred]

 

Moving everyone to the office of Lady Penwright she produces a map and points to the south-east corner "the route she would have taken is to head north the make your way west to Southpyke, it is then a simple task to do the same but in reverse for the journey home" she says to the party.

James

James steps through the portal, back still hunched over. He stretches out his arms in the hot and humid air with a bit of a grin. Limping along with the others, James just rambles on.

"Not bad here. Not bad at all. Could use a bit more humidity though. Hehehe. Ah, new group of folks to work with. Should be fun."

As the lady spots them, he falls back a hair with a mischievous grin.

 

---

Inside the office, he looks at the map with everyone else.

"Lots of area to disappear from in there." He reaches out a gangly, clawed finger. Pointing out the route and the nearby mountains. "You say she normally goes this way through the path. If it were me, I'd take her into the mountains here, here and or here. The reason is inconsequential. What have you done already to look for her and where? The more information you can give us, the better our odds are of finding her in one piece let alone alive."

"We do not have any trackers to follow her movements, or we would have done so by now. We do have a tracker but he is out looking for a lost pet, he might not be back for a few days at least. Heaven knows what the poor girl is going through at this time, let alone for another week or so" she says with a worried tone.

Ithrinnwen

Ithrinnwen hums softly. "Do you have anything belonging to the missing person? An article of clothing, perhaps? Maybe even a boot so we can better identify prints?" She motions at her hound. "Could we also get a description of the person in question? This way we will know when we find her."

Lady Penwright replies "I have an image of her here," she says and produces an image of a pretty young female.

"I can get you an item of hers, is there anything else you need? The heat can get to you so I will send you with a drink that will keep you cool, it is called Eastern Sunset. You make it up like you would a cup of tea, I can have one of the healers travel with you if you need one. They can handle themselves in a fight but more importantly, they can keep you alive" she says.

Ithrinnwen

"Anything to aid in our journey would be appreciated. Information on the typical hazards associated with the area; creatures, terrain, etc. I specifically prepared magic to aid me in tracking for this mission, so we're definitely set on that front. " Ithrinnwen remarks as she takes the picture and tucks it away for later.

"A healer would probably not go amiss, admittedly, but once we pick up the trail I expect we'll move quickly. If your healer is uncertain of their ability to keep up, then it'd be best for them to remain behind, I feel. The longer we wait to begin tracking, the harder it will be." The ranger appears to be in her element, for once. How novel.

James looks at her like she is out of her mind for a moment before he gets his wits back.

"So, let me get this straight. All we have is a questionable route, a picture, some clothing items, some tea and a half-baked healer? I'm going to say, don't get your hopes to high. Too bad the poor little puppy is missing otherwise we might have stood a chance of finding her."

He shakes his head completely ignoring what his companion just said.

"We should be moving out as soon as possible. If we are lucky we might come across her bones. Heh. Maybe I'll raise her and make her a companion if that is the case. Hehe."

Looking at James Lady Penwright says "we can send you on mounts if you do not have them, our half-baked healer can do more than just heal. The temple trains them to survive in this accursed land, as the big fellah we have a beast called a White Haired Snort that can carry his weight.

A loud knock on the door brings news that the mounts are ready, a stable lad holds the reigns of the mounts for the party and a white-haired maiden sits upon a white mare.

"Andromalius would let me locate an item," Madison mentions, "Does our quarry have a particular signature weapon or keepsake?"

"The range is quite limited though, not even 300 yards."

"Buer would let me track but that would rely on my skill as a tracker and I have none worth mentioning."

"What dangers are we likely to face on our journey?"

James waves his hand dismissively.

"Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. If she knew the dangers, she would have said something about them already. I'm ready to go. At least I wont have to walk the entire way."

Lady Penwhistle replies "you will find the occasional dinosaur, both the zombie version and the natural animal. There can be bandits of course and even a dragon, or two. Mostly though you possibly will not meet anything, now please go and get her back" she begs.
