Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Who said I don't have a way to activate it myself? Who says it isn't everywhere on the Shattered Hills by now? I dunno.....do you?
Ragnar Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 How about we sneak past, grab one of the unsuspecting gnolls and interrogate it(batman style). since we have no idea how to handle this. if that's possible.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Explain to me how a group of at least 15 sneaks up a a group of 7 Gnolls that are on high alert at all times that are highly trained scouts.
Ragnar Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 perhaps Nero's illusions? I don't know, i guess its not possible. XD
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Not really, like you can try, but they ARE looking for people, so it isn't like you are easily going to slip past their notice.. ((and as trianed scout they might even notice Nero when he was invisible via Sound/smell.))
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Who said I don't have a way to activate it myself? Who says it isn't everywhere on the Shattered Hills by now? I dunno.....do you? The level of my paranoia is too damn high

Chim Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Who said I don't have a way to activate it myself? Who says it isn't everywhere on the Shattered Hills by now? I dunno.....do you? So we're screwed anyway? xD Btw Sigurd is just following around until something happens.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Never said that, I might just be messing with you. COmmon DM thing. I need to watch you guys squirm a bit.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Going to hold off on posting for a bit so you guys have time to react a bit...I mean a group of Gnolls kinda did pop out on you. ((also those are nicknames, not their actual names lol.))
Chevaleresse Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Xavier doesn't really trust them, so he doesn't plan on striking up a conversation. EDIT: Now that I think about it, though, that contrasts the sort of paradoxical characterization I'm going for. . . Disregard my last post.
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Neither does Helze, but at this point anymore leads and anymore information will get her attention lol
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 Should note, only Cookie is now where you guys are, he sent off the rest of his men. Feel free to do whatever XD.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 I don;t think any of your characters would know Gnoll culture, but that powder he threw over you is Prayer Dust. It is made of a mixture of Oxidized Iron and other metals. It is a rather important thing in Gnoll prayers and rituals. The one Cookie just did was the Traveler's Prayer, or The Blessing of the One Who Walks. It is spoken before a group goes on an important journey, such as a Gnoll leaving their village for a pilgrimage or a long journey. It is one of the most important Gnoll rituals as it is one of their highest values. Gnolls glorify their trailblazers, the ones who find lost treasures of the world and wonders no others have seen. This stems from their highly nomadic life style long ago, but now as they aren't nomads really it is a mystery as to why it remained. However, they value these people highly. ((Dru possibly could, but I doubt he would know that much of their culture.)) Gnolls worship Aelia above the other gods, as they believe in the winds of the world, that they find hidden places, however they worship the other 3 Elemental gods as well. They believe Tectaniteus is the true keepr of secrets, hiding things deep within the earth. They Believe Pyron to be the one who gives the Trailblazers the passion and courage to seek out those secrets. And they believe Seeker gives them the wisdom and knowledge to find them. Why does Cookie know it, and have the things necessary to perform it? I dunno.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 Oh Jory, by the way, tell me when Dru reactivates his connection to the Earth.
Chevaleresse Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 idk why but i've had the urge to play a gnoll in DnD lately. (Before this encounter.)
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 Gnolls are pretty cool and I like them a lot XD. I am not sure if they would be kinda op as a PC or not though lol.
Chevaleresse Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 4e has stat blocks for them as PCs, lemme do some reading. . .
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 ((This is the part where Hukuna grumbles about 4th edition. XD>))
Chevaleresse Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Lol. I actually am not a big fan of 3.5/Pathfinder in my limited experience, and editions before those are outside my experience. I appreciate 4e because it's easy to pick up and it's virtually impossible to make a useless character unless you try. (Whereas in, say, Pathfinder, you could build a fantastic rogue. . . and then run into nothing but combat where the best you can do is throw your dagger and pray to Avandra that a giant cockroach doesn't rip you in half. The reverse happens to barbies.) To get back to gnolls, I found out that Dragon 367 had a section devoted to playing as them. Your canon seems a bit different for them, though.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 Remember, I always change the canon. I didn;t really know it for Gnolls in the first place, but they are more spiritual people in Graterras.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 7, 2014 Author Posted December 7, 2014 So.....I don't want to skip since you guys are in a forest full of bad guys, but I feel like it might just drag on with not a lot happening. So would it be a tension killer if I moved you guys up a bit closer to Sorrow's Spring? Like it doesn't feel right under the circumstances...but I don't want this to stall out either.
Chim Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 It's fine by me. Aside from walking I don't know what else Sigurd could possibly do at this point. It might be different for Helze and Dru though.
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 I don't mind lol, Helzebeth would be pretty focused on getting there asap anyway.
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 7, 2014 Author Posted December 7, 2014 Considering Blue's presence disappeared form her mind, I would understand lol.
