I think you misunderstood which one I was targeting, but doesn't matter, both dead now.

"Four more and we're done! Bet they rout after we drop the next two anyway! C'mon everyone, keep together while the boss looks after Alys!" Gliding her way through the air, Elara moves up to threaten Rory's targets, letting a grim grin cross her face. "Better head back to base you birdjocks, last chance."

Barring a surrender, she lashes out with her polearm for the dark-feathered one.

Attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 2d4 + 14 ⇒ (1, 2) + 14 = 17


Warlord/5 | HP (15/47) | PP (0/2) | AC/Touch/Flat 19/12/18 | Fort/Ref/Will +7/+3/+6 | Init +1 | Percep +9

Auto stabilize thanks to Connor. Unless you crash into something, your wings (ifalready open and flying) make you spiral down to the ground like feather fall, so no fall damage, same as Alys

Connor decided holding onto the unconscious Alys was better than trying to lift her form out of the water.

Swim check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

He willed the psionic tattoo onto the woman's neck. (To tap next turn, I guess. I don't want to chance undocking Hero from the psicrystal staff and having him do it, in case he falls into the water.)

"Stable but now following the current! I'm going to be out of range shortly! You need a fighter or a carrier?" Connor called up to the others. He sent mental commands of Fightflankfight! to the two constructs above. (One round to tap and then start making astral constructs again in two rounds.)

------------------

(No comment from mdt, but Adran's 19 missed, so an 18 would as well?)

The two astral constructs assisting Roderick moved as ordered and attacked again.
AC#1 5-ft move on right, Slam atk on male, flank to Roderick next round: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
AC#2 5-ft move on left, Slam atk on female, flank to #1 next round: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 (No)

Took 8 + 22 = 30 damage last round. Down to 6 health.

Grunting at the impact of the one-two punch of fist and crackling bullet, darkness dances over Roderick's eyes for a moment. He exhales and slips closer to the female, slashing at her viciously while focusing on doing as much damage as he can. This is not going well. With Connor's help, we might prevail, but we'll be a bloodied mess in a warzone after. "We're running shorter and shorter on conscious fighters, so something that can fight or heal would be optimal."

5 ft step to attack the pistoleer using studied strike, if first kills, then swift to study 2nd and make 2nd TWF attack against him. Use inspiration on the first attack that's 21 or lower for d6 more to hit (as below).

Adraniel, desperate, slams his weapon in to the male strix, who's already wounded, and the man crumples and begins circling toward the ground as he folds up with the strike.

Connor's construct, combined with Roderick's flashing blades, send's the female strix to the west spiraling down toward river below.

The remaining female strix moves away, firing over her shoulder at Elara.

Pistol: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7+Disrupt: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9+Ecto: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Despite it being a fairly shakey shot on the run, it still manages to graze Elara's side, opening it up.

The last two are retreating, but look as if they'll be doing a firing retreat. If Elara wants to move after them and attack, she can, or she can drop down out of the line of fire. Same applies to everyone. There's a shockwave coming in in 4 rounds. If everyone dives for cover, the combat is over. If you persue, they'll continue to retreat and shoot.

Seeing the shockwave destroying and shaking buildings as it comes Adran yells out.

"Dive!!!, Dive Now!!!"

He flies back to grab his bow and starts to decend down.

Hearing Adran, Connor was determined to tap that tattoo on Alys first. It was hard enough treading water with his wings and feet, clutching his staff as he tried to keep Alys's head above the waterline. Hero, I need you to become a clockwork golem in the next few seconds. Big enough to stand on the bottom with your feet and keep us from moving in this current. he deadpanned, finding time to use funeral humor. "I've got Alys! I can't get us out - will try to keep from running away!" Connor called up to the others as he performed the action.

(This is one of the 4th Level Natural Healing tattoos for 12 hp back.)


Aegis/5 | HP (58/58) | AC/Touch/Flat 17/11/16 | Fort/Ref/Will +9/+4/+8 | Init +1 | Percep +2

Elara hesitates, professional pride making her polearm inch its way towards the weaving retreating enemy... but survival instincts let her lower her blade then streak towards the ground. "KEEP OUT OF THE WATER, WE'VE STILL GOT S$~@ TO DO HERE!"

Stowing her blade, Elara ignores her own words and flies straight into the water, embracing the maelstrom; her tentacles extrude from under her coat, scratching onto the channel's edges, paddling, trying to stabilize her, as she aims for Connor and Alys. She shouts through mouthfuls of water "I'm *blub* coming boss!"

Hit the water, hope to use the current to cut down on travel time to get to Alys and Connor and help haul them out.

Elara can fly MUCH faster than the water is flowing, 60 ft per turn vs 30 ft per turn

Elara swoops down and hits the water next to Alys and Connor. Alys is waking up from her wounds about the time Elara splashes down next to the duo. With 3 people working, you should be able to get everyone out of the water at one of the ladders in time to take cover behind something solid

Everyone else ducks down and takes cover behind buildings, and then the next shockwave hits. The winds whip up at about 40 mph, dirt and debris and loose shingles slam around, but with everyone behind cover.

As everyone takes flight again, in the distance, the Stalmorta ships can be seen dropping in steep dives, accelerating hard as they do, to get solid ground between them and the massive cannons.

Around the city, the sounds of fighting continue, although there's a steady flow now of Stalmorta troops seen heading for the cliff edges. Whether to flee or attack the cannon positions is uknown by the group.

Out of combat for now

"So that was, well not very fun. So whats are next move? Can't go back to the ship yet. Do we lay low, or should we try to help defend the city? I don't think they will give us any medals or anything so laying low may be best, but where?"

"Regroup!" Connor told Adran. "Everyone, gather on me! Count off! Who's not here?" He started hovering, looking around. Concentrating, the Shaper started making more astral constructs from one of his power stones.

(Making 4 Small Level 1 flight/utility constructs, 2 hours duration, from power stone. They'll go back and grab Roderick's stuff and the magical box. The bigger one left behind with the box will go for Rory, but we'll roleplay that first. Kyzin is gone too, roleplaying that.)

"Here, boss." Arms and a tentacle or two wrapped around Alys to help her get on her wings, Elara rises up. "There we go soldier, well fought. Must feel damn special to get targeted like that."[b] Elara's brown eyes look up then around the group. [b]"...f@*&, I think Rory hit the ground! Can anyone see him?" She flies over the battlefield, looking for him, then dives down to the ground next to him. "...S!~@. MEDIC! Stable, but down!"

Breathing heavily as he nurses his side, Roderick watches the fleeing Stalmorta troops with a scowl. The shouts of alarm from behind him spur him to look over his shoulder. Shouting wordlessly in alarm, he ducks into the cover of a nearby building. He clings to the frame where he'd braced himself, ears popping from the shock of the blast of air. Emerging from cover, he rejoins his companions with his temporary feathers askew and bloodied. Seeing Rory lying bloodied and hearing Elara's call, he rushes to the man's side, unstoppering an iron vial as he goes. He tilts the man's head back carefully and drips the potion down the back of his throat. With no small amount of satisfaction, he watches as the burly humavian's wounds begin to knit closed. "I think he is out of immediate danger, though I'm hardly a medic. I have a few skills, but it is hardly my specialty."

He stands back, wincing as he pulls a little on the gash in his side. "What means of healing have we aside from the emergency tattoos? It would be best if we could use something more efficient and reusable. I can create a few more of my healing elixirs, but that would limit my utility later."

Can make up to 3x 15 HP Natural Healing elixirs. What else we have that's not a tattoo?

Connor flew over, then drifted down to Roderick, Rory, and Elara. "Healing is our weakness after losing our tactician and battle medic." he admitted readily. "I don't have much at the moment, other than two tattoos and a single augmented bandage pack. With time and materials, I can do much more, but we're always going to be needing your potions, second cousin." Connor said.

Looking around, Connor called out "Anybody seen Kyzin?" He listened as Adran came back from scouting. Connor's astral constructs came flying in, Roderick's hammock now carried by three Small constructs, the big box by a struggling creation. The larger Medium construct landed next to Rory, and started to put its' arms under the man, readying to lift him off of the ground. (Unless Rory wants to wake up with 0 hp + Roderick's 15 hp potion?)

"We need to find a shelter from the battle." Connor declared to everyone.

Adraniel & Alys, between them, find a building with a giant hole in the side where a stray attack from one of the ships attacking slammed into the building's side.

This allows easy access to the building. Once inside, the group realizes this was a brothel, at least that's the best guess based on the skimpy clothing strewn around in the rubble, and the 'artifacts' left laying around.

Connor:

Hey boss! You should remember where this place is! Hey, what's that thing with the straps and feathers?

Oh my, dear, you have been sheltered. See the woman puts on the top half of that... And follows a detailed description of the device, how it works, and variations on the theme.

Oooh! Boss! You gotta ask for that when we come here! Hero says enthusiastically.

It appears that there's nobody here now though, apparently the workers have evacuated. Whether to the basement, or another location, is up for debate. But for now, the upper floor has a sitting area in the center that's not damaged much, and provides some cover, and even a large steaming hot bath if anyone needs to clean up.

Roderick retrieves his field kit from his pack and, after some searching, finds a relatively clean surface that looks like it might be a dining table. He sets about pouring measured amounts of various liquids and powders into a flask and heating it, ignoring all outside interaction and focusing intently. After a few scant minutes, he nods in satisfaction as the previously green liquids turn an unpleasant shade of brown. Breathing more regularly, he breaks his concentration and offers the potion to his companions, "If you are wounded, drink this. I'm sure the Captain will testify to the... nature... of its taste."

I misread my notes before, I can only prepare another one natural healing with ML 4 (or some combination of potions using 4 power points). Making one ML 4 version unless someone has other thoughts. :)

Holding his head with one hand, as if from a migraine, the astral constructs holding cargo or helping the still-injured, Connor looked around the abandoned establishment. "Any port in a storm, I guess." he opined. "Alright. Adran, you keep an eye out upstairs. Let's not be a landing zone for any more Stalmorta warships. Elara, you're street level, in case the neighbors get nosy or town guards or more soldiers drop in. Roderick, you're with me. Let's make sure Alys and Rory don't have any internal bleeding. Just push anything in the way out of the way here, and remember, 'we're not thieves'." he said with a lighthearted tone.

The constructs followed as Connor begin clearing a space in the middle area, flattening cushions and throw blankets as needed. He looked the blonde woman and the bearded man up and down, checking them out.

"Both of you have had your Gladiator's Gauze used up. So try not to get hit again. I'll need time to get you your nine lives back." Connor joked with the elfavian and the ship's captain. He shrugged off his backpack and started getting out his healer's kit.

As the group huddles, the sounds of gunfire and giant cannon's firing continue. Every so often, a whistling sound makes everyone dive for cover, although they are lucky that none of the shells from the Stalmorta ships hit the brothel again.

After about 30 minutes, the heavy cannon's go quite, and the whistling barrage of off-shore cannons stop.

Another hour or two later the weapons fire begins to taper off as well.

A bit of stone near the bath suddenly raises up and pivots around, and a Humavian woman with black wings, armor, and two psionic whips shoots up out of the floor, hovering in place. On her hips are two heavy revolvers, each glowing with obvious psionic crystals built into them. She narrows her eyes as she scans the room. "Alright, you lot just stay right where you are, first one that goes for a weapon get's their head sliced off." She says coldly.

A male Stalmorta pops up out of the hole, lowering what looks like a military grade anti-vehicle weapon at the group, a halvavian skull swinging from it's barrel. "Yah, what she said!" He growls in a deep voice, panning the massive weapon back and forth. Sections of it glow with blue crystals.

Rory wakes up from his nap and glares a few of the many bullet wounds in his body still visible despite his meager attempts at self medicine and Roderick's tonic.

He simply observes though the impression he gives is not of a man who is afraid, just one who can't be bothered at the moment.

Used 2 tattoos to bump a bit more up. Alys should probably hit up that other infusion of roderick's. Got psionic focus and is currently in running hunter's stance, so he has scent and increased speed. Was half tempted to have had him in the bath at this point.

"Alright, easy, easy." Elara lets her polearm clatter to the ground as she stands up, hands raised defensively. "No heroes here, who're you?" She takes a step towards them, then if they don't get aggressive, another. Her tentacles lie hidden beneath her coat in readiness. "Whaddaya want?"

"I'm the b+!~~ that owns the place. He's the a~@%+@& that removes problems. And I consider looter's problems." She says coldly. "You can put back whatever you stole, and get out of here now, or we can dance." The whips snake around her like living things.

The man laughs. "HAH! What she said!"


Aegis/5 | HP (58/58) | AC/Touch/Flat 17/11/16 | Fort/Ref/Will +9/+4/+8 | Init +1 | Percep +2

Step. "We ain't looters, just people trying to get the f#~! away from that feather storm up there. Nobody stole anything right? Right?" She turns around and gestures for an answer before looking back at the pair. Step. "Anyway, are you sure you want us gone? Like I said, there's a f*$!ing army up and around. Safety in numbers and all that s!*#? I bet my boss'll be okay with it." Step.

How close can I get?

After the second step, the man's thumb flicks the safety off on the anti-vehicle weapon.

"Well, now maybe you're telling the truth, and maybe you ain't. I got a dozen employee's below, along with their kids, and if you think I'm taking your word for it without some proof, you're as stupid as the Stalmorta."

"Hah, dumb as me!" The stalmorta says with a laugh, but the gun doesn't waver from Elara. With the safety off, she can see motes of psionic energy flickering inside the barrel.

"Stand down sergeant too nice of a place as it is ta have the parrot go and blow more holes in it." Rory says standing up from the comfortable chair and glancing outside. "Sounds as if the heavy artillery's been put away outside at least. Should see if there's anything left and shove off as fast as the engines can take us. If madame would be so kind as have her a@!&#@@ lower his cannon we'll just be off."

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Feel free to pile on the Aid Another's on this roll.

Halfway through taking out items from his healer's kit next to Rory, Connor looked at the woman and the bat-wing. "Really?" he muttered to no one in particular.

"Proof?" Connor echoed the black-winged blonde. "You do know that proving a negative is a proof of impossibility, such as evidence of absence?" He shook his head. "Adran!" Connor called out, looking at the ceiling. "We gotta vacate the premises, the formerly hidden owner is rather insistent and excessively armed! How's it look out there?" He started putting back the bandages and vials into his healer's kit, and closing the box.

"Not at all, very easy to prove. Just don't resist a Read Thoughts attempt, and you can prove it very easily." The woman says, landing behind the trap door. "So, prove it?"

As Adran hears his name called out he heads down the stairs whistling a tune and being his normal happy go lucky self. He takes notice of the two as he comes down but just out of the corner of his eye he never looks at them.

"All clear boss. This place made a pretty good hole to hide in. Most of the fighting has seemed to stop or someone surrendered. Lots of looting gone on out there. We are missing out. Seems you made new friends while I was gone. They aren't giving you any trouble are they?"

He stands rocking back and forth on his heals and continues his tune still not looking to acknowledge they are there even though he spoke of them.

"The virtuous proprietor of this unsullied, and I might add, surprisingly luxurious, establishment is the voyeur type, but I am more concerned with her mercurial chiropterian companion." Connor replied. He looked back at the blonde. Very well, madam, since I do not appreciate being shot in the back, even during an expeditious retreat, you may acquire your 'proof'. But I would warn you, it's crowded enough in there already. You might hear echoes and such." Connor told her, tapping his psistaff lightly against his head. All right Hero, no sudden insults, and mind your manners. the psion told his other self. He kept his own thoughts focused around the need to run away from large cannons carried by skyships and cities alike, as well as the recent battle against the Stalmortan soldiers. Everybody could make it back to the ship on their own, couldn't they?

"Go ahead, we have nothing to hide from you." Alys declares, "Well except maybe for him... We assume no responsibility for his actions.", she adds, gesturing toward Adran.

The woman waves her hand, and Connor can feel her mind latching onto his. Then she begins to ask rapid fire questions.

"What's your name?"
"What's your favorite color?"
"Why are you here?"
"Where were you born?"
"What did you steal?"
"When is your birthday?"
"What did the other's steal?"
"How did you get in?"
"How much money do you have?"
"Who are you here to kill?"

Will saves on any you try not to think about, or try to think about a specific answer to. Every second question has a cumulative -1 to the will save. You can instead make a will save to break the telepathy at any point.

Adran smiles at Alys.

"I have no idea what you mean, what could I steal with these small hands."
He gets all puppy dog eyed for a moment then smiles again.

"Aw who we kidding here. We didn't take any of your stuff you old bird, but if the employees down there are working girls then maybe you can put your hands on some of my coin why we wait out all the craziness from outside. What'ya say?"

Connor laughed when the woman tried Twenty Questions. He started spouting answers out loud as quickly as she spoke interrogatives. "Connor. White. Selling. Atalantia. Nothing. In the Spring. Nothing! We walked in! Not enough! And no one!" Putting his backpack back on, Connor said "You must have a strange clientele, madam. Most of your establishments promise either entertainment or discreet services. At least your subordinate has the expected face value." Looking around, Connor called out "Everybody ready to fly?"
