Goblin Lands 2 Rescue Mission Week 23: The Flame Winds come


#21

(OOC because everyone is posting their merc and tribe. If you can’t post both, ignore this one. Had no plans, but figured he’ll help those who have helped him.)

Daron found him still staying with the GNA and the tribe of Gang of the Uf Mag’og. He would help the tribe that has housed him since he’s been in the Goblin Lands. He would Heal, dig, or use his artifacts to create water as need. If the flame winds near and he was outside, he would hit to the air to fly away quickly. If he found he could scout, he would if asked.

Daron ((B Dragon) LR:4, Heal:3, Light: 1, Shadow:2, Water:1, General:2, Shape:3)
Equipment:
Razor Claw Guantlets, Nightmare Hide Trenchcoat (artificed with Wilderness Camo), 2 Ear Rings (1st Life Shield/Obscure/ignore poison, 2nd Heal Internal 2 Succ), Warm aura necklace, Everlasting Waterskin and a shock stick (Pain dmg), Hab Tor Stone Axe ( Slung on Back)

Tormag’ru had received a message from Torlok’ab informing him of the situation at the Isle of Holys. This was a good thing. They would be able to turn their attentions to the problems of the Flamewinds with out having to worry too much about someone awakening Holys.

Drewsport:

Evacuation Plans for Drewsport had been drawn up over a year in advance. All of the adult citizens had been informed of the plans and how to respond. When the Flamewinds approached the citizens would withdraw to the Undercity. The wooden Gates had stopped the firebomb of the Oners should hold against the flamewinds. Fresh water was available from reservoirs filled by Hobyi of Unit 817. All Citizens and other townsfolk (ie: any one from other groups normally stationed in drewsport [clergy from local chapels, trading factors, etc]) will be welcomed. the tunnels will be expanded further if it proves to be necessary.

Patrols of Troopers on Slephnir-back will ride to watch for the flamewinds and give warning.

A patrol of 4 Kolgol Conscripts will be sent out to talk with the ferals and show them where deep tunnels have been made, using the Ravenous Kolgul Skull bracer of Unit 817. such tunnels will be dug with at least two dogleg turns between the openings and the chambers within. Between the doglegs will be a bridge over a pool of water (filled with leyas). this is to provide a ‘trap’ to stop the heated air form penetrating to housing chambers, and to cool any winds that still penetrate that far. also provides water supply. the patrol will return between Flamewinds to refill the pools.

The fleet will be stationed off shore to minimalize the chance of damage. The will patrol to aid and protect all shipping in the area. Deadwings will be used for aerial patrols and to extract people out of the way of approaching Flamewinds. Scarab striders will aid in transporting and will be positioned under water in the bay during Flamewinds. Most Troopers will also retreat to underwater positions during Flamewinds if possible.

Holys:

All troopers, civilians and guests will be escorted inside the base and the doors closed during Flamewind attacks. 2 Deadwings will patrol to watch for refugees and escort them to the Isle.

Uriel sat in silent meditation as next to him nightmares formed and disappeared over and over again. He was creating them and consuming their energy and adding it to his own life. If things did not go to plan he would certainly need the extra boost. He felt their energy coursing in his veins. It was almost intoxicating. A soft chime sounded in his chamber.

“Agent Uriel, we have established surveillance on the major settlements in the wastes.” Anise’s calming voice sounded from a comm crystal embedded in a wall. “So far their defenses seem adequate. With luck your assistance will not be needed.” Uriel noted that she sounded almost relieved. He wondered for a moment if it was simply a purposeful tone on the A.I’s part or if she had begun to develop emotion. He had heard that sometimes Artificial Intelligence in long use did that. He made a note to discuss it with her at a later date.

“That is good to hear. If I do have to act people will be in great danger, better if their own preparations prove up to the task. Still it will be an interesting experience. How many beings experience the full brunt of a Flamewind?”

“Many, surviving the experience however is another matter.” Anise replied.
“Indeed,” answered Uriel. “Do you not approve of the plan?”
“It seems needlessly hazardous. You are a valuable agent.”
“Thank you for saying so. But I calculate a reasonable chance of my survival even in the worst likely case.” The A.I was silent for a long moment, it seemed almost a disapproving pause to Uriel. Intriguing.
“Very well, I will keep you informed of events.”
“Thank you,” Uriel replied as he stored his journals safely away.

Uriel will use summon nightmare (flesh worms) and absorb nightmare to build up his HP he will continue to do this. VLAD command will observe all major settlements in the waste if any settlements defenses begin to fail Uriel will travel there via energy bridge. Once there he will use become shadow as protection from the Flamewinds. He will create a city defense shield to protect the settlement damage done to him will deduct from his bonus HP from the consumed nightmares. He will try to avoid contact with locals if he has to go to the provisional colonies. When the storm passes he will use his teleport artifact to return to base and await another emergency. Uriel will carry no equipment or armor except for his robes (Shadow armor 5 successes) and a single book (one not yet copied to the library) for the purpose of a sacrifice should he need a power boost to the shield.

Grim decides to do the only smart thing in this situation.

He takes Refuge in Glinta’s tavern. Between winds, he will wander town to town, helping those suffering from the affects of the Flamewinds.

The barracks would be sealed. All air vents shut except ones leading to a single room the mercenaries would be living in. They would subsist off rations kolgol meat and stored rain water.

(There is so much going on all at once, this will be a full tribe plan.)

Things start the with Torgog Yi’yamak, the skilled artisan using SHAPE WOOD to make bowls and vessels for each and every Yagogi to use for food and water for the duration of the storms. Once the setting are crafted, he will go to work on another great masterpiece, a set of SHAPED WOOD doors, one to be set just into a cavern and the other to be set in the secured location (think the Gates of Hell artwork). While this is going on, King Bazman along with Mawen Rapider, Mag Daron Gor’ab will use SENSE EARTH to find the thermal vents for the flamewinds themselves.

Then the mak’abs and kings working with Or’tor, stocking up on supplies, seeking answers and refuge. Or’tor with the assistance of her communing dire mighty yadol, will look to find an underground cavern down near water level in the former GulTor’Uf lands. Fearing the worst of the Yagogi hunting grounds, going down deep may not be the best of ideas, so they will look to seek refuge deep down below. Once a location has been selected that is big enough to secure the entire tribe along with citizens, in come the 9 Mak’abs (Tla’ya , Deriya Mag, Hobya’Ab, Ur’al, Zhol’ya, Mak Lal’mag, Yalar Took, Og’ Kol and Hob’Lalol) who will cast STONE PILLAR to set up supports, and TUNNEL MATERIAL to make the space big enough; as well as 9 Kings( Gibbs, Flint, Cougar, Capo, Thumpa, Ulk, Recker, Big Chief, and Sheela) who will cast WALL OF ICE along the edge for extra support, and DEFENSIVE CLOUD to provide safe breathable air for everyone coming. Torgog Yi’yamak,and one of the gates will be brought down to the chamber.

While this is happening, all other Mak’abs, Ur Maks and Kings will go gathering and hunting for specifically the mak hoblok, to stock pile foods and collect the animals tough hides. They will give the hides to Makgog’Lallur, the seamstress to sew them into bladders able to hold in that which fuels the flamewinds. The Kings will place the bladders tethered below the surface along the thermal vents and cast WIND RUSH to pull the air from the flamewinds to the point the the bladder is full. (An aside for later, the flamewind air might be able to be used as bombs similar to the barge) Ur maks will be sent out as messengers alerting tribes of the Yagogi’s plans, and an invitation for those that need protection, especially GulTor’Uf, Tor’Lallur and even the wild Gor’abs. They are not to know the specifics of the secure location, where the gateways brings everyone to.

Bazmanwill will use TUNNEL MATERIAL, to make a smaller chamber and set the other door at the base of this chamber. Once the door is in place, Bazman will radio to his second, Capo and Hobya’Ab, that the door is in place and at the location. Bazman will open the door just as Habya’Ab will TELEPORT to the location. Then the group of Zhgog’ol Maklur, Bazman, Mawen Rapider, Capo and Hobya’Ab will open a SHADOW WALK gateway between the doors leading the Yagogi to their safety. Bazman will collect a finger from each of the tribe for safe keeping, Capo will take note of each and everyone, with Zhgog’ol healing everyone. (Fingers will eventually be given to Mawen to check if there are any hidden Mag Der’al amongst the Yagogi.) The tribals will be given meals of mak hoblok and berries, with Tla’og Mak using the Hobyi of Unit 817 to provide water. Hobya’Ab and Capo will wait as all others enter, and then seal the doorway. Once again Hobya"ab with Capo will use TELEPORT to rejoin the rest of the tribe and hunker down for the flamewinds to pass.

(Ooc: sorry this is so late, got caught up with dinner tonight.)

Everything was as taken care of as it could be. The faithful in Drewsport boarded a ship and took out to sea, Krodnok’s Dead would take shelter in the Lab, along with Hob’na, and the faithful in Simonsburg came to the underground site that had been constructed. A few others from Simonsburg had come along, but most couldn’t be convinced. And when he found out about that, Krodnok felt a great sorrow for those left behind.

(Ooc: Player Hob’na consulted about her being included in this post. She’s currently traveling with Krodnok, but when he left for the ‘No good deed’ mission, he sent her to the lab to wait out the Flamewinds.)

OOC: Dinner being late is my bad, forgive PLayer krodnok (and player hob’na this was discussed during time here )
