Volmalric rolls on the ground in agony
Hauk: Whew, you guys were all screaming like mad. What happened?
Meltam Perandus: You must be hearing the sounds of the Picts running from us.
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 22]
Meltam Perandus: We are that fearsome!
Hauk: Willpower - 9 Successes = 1 [2d20 = 17]
Hauk: Yes, that is definitely the case. I mean, we are standing in a ruined Pict village and the remains of a Pict warrior who has been impaled on a stake are lying in front of you. Clearly, whatever you did to him would make the rest of the group flee.
Hauk makes "Crazy man" gestures behind Meltam's back.
Volmalric: That wasn't a Pict when we got here.
Hauk: So you pict him at random?
Meltam Perandus: We must press the attack upon these degenerate savages before they summon further devilry!
Volmalric: If I weren't still bleeding from my eyes, I would hit you for that one
Meltam Perandus: Nawh, he was the pict of the littter
Hauk: Well, I was scouting around while you were all lying on the ground screaming in pain while blood oozed out of your noses and ears.
Volmalric: What did you find?
Hauk: I think we can follow the villagers' trail into the Place of Whispering Fog pretty easily.
Volmalric: Excellent, we need to follow after
Slumbara stands back up off the ground
Slumbara yawns
Slumbara: I think I fell asleep, but I am ready to go now as well
Meltam Perandus: Nothing terrible will happen at a place named like that!
Hauk: Okay, well, let's go then.
Volmalric picks himself up, dusting himself off tidying himself up
Slumbara: Survival 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 34]
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 1 [2d20 = 21]
SLumbara cannot find any tracks inside the village.
Volmalric: Survival 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 14]
Volmaric, with some help from Meltam, finds the trail and is able to follow it in the foggy moors.
The forest grows thick and quiet. There is a noticeable absence of wildlife here.
Volmalric: Weapons at the ready, they've got dark sorcery on their side
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 8]
You begin to spot strange, stony outcroppings and green leafy vines along the floor.
Slumbara: You've got dark man on your side
Slumbara: stay behind Slubara if you are scared
Volmalric: I'd rather have you between me and Meltam if that's fine with you
Slumbara: Lore 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 38]
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 39]
As Meltam mumbles to himself, Slumbara and Volmaric cannot see anything strange about the area, in fact, it seems perfectly normal around here. Nothing to see citizen. The fog is clearly caused by a low lying cloud bank.
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 31]
Slumbara is convinced this place would be a great spot to build a nice summer home. The trees are quite lovely.
Meltam Perandus: There are only mundane threats ahead! Slumbara, charge ahead!
Volmalric: They must have over hunted this valley, I can't hear any birds or wildlife
Slumbara: I know, I already am
Slumbara continues blindly trundling through the forest
Hauk seems a little skeptical of the group, but leads you along the path.
Hauk (mutters): I'm getting too old for this shit.
Volmalric: What's wrong, Hauk? Never had to deal with a bit of fog before?
Hauk: Well, I'm mostly concerned by the fact that it keeps forming into hands and grappling at us, and moves like sinuous snakes given ethereal forms as if some horrific entity was being brought to life.
Hauk: But then, I am probably just imagining all that, nevermind me.
Slumbara: Yes, you sound like a crazy man
Volmalric: Yeah, that's not how fog works at all. You must have listened to too many campfire stories.
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 [2d20 = 8]
Meltam Perandus: It is just an over active imagination. Be at ease, you must be mentally exhausted from the incessant Pictish attacks.
Hauk: Willpower - 9 Successes = 1 [2d20 = 14]
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 23]
Hauk: Discipline Successes = 2 [2d20 = 15]
Hauk: Right, after all, I'm sure this is all my imagination.
Slumbara: I agree, you have a solid head on your shoulders
You reach a clearing the middle of the valley. There is a low rise that once might have the base of a fortified manor or castle.
Ringing the rise are lit torches, while Picts stand guard, look out into the fog. At this distance, and with the light, you can definitely see them and they cannot see you.
There is a small outcropping of rocks that looks like a cave entrance on the top of the rise. A number of bound captives are trussed up there. Twelve picts stand nearby, guarding the captives. As you reach the scene and take this in, you see one of the guards grab a captive and take them into the cave.
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 1 [2d20 = 23]
Volmalric: Any idea who the captives are?
Slumbara: Should we rescue the people from the pict rape-and-canibalism cave?
Volmaric notices that the captives all appear to be Aquilonian settlers.
Slumbara: I think we should
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara is a man of action. Slumbara needs no encouragment when action is needed!
Slumbara: We may get a reward
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 16]
Volmalric: I agree.
Slumbara charges into the cave with his sword
Kazemi (Volmalric): How many Picts are there?
Slumbara: Stealth 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 13]
There are 20 or so Picts circling the cave, and another 11 at the top of the rise.
Meltam Perandus: 30 against 4 eh?
Slumbara: Slumbara is not afraid of numbers
Slumbara: Also, Slumbara cannot count that high
Meltam Perandus: May I suggest creating a diversion before charging? Surely if we tried to draw a few away?
Pict: Obs, Insight, Theivery Successes = 2 [2d20 = 17]
Pict: Obs, Insight, Theivery Successes = 2 [2d20 = 9]
Volmalric: I think it may be beneficial to soften then up a bit. They're on defendable terrain.
Kazemi (Volmalric): What equipment do they have?
They are equipped in the same way as the other Picts you have encountered. Leather armor, axes, spears, etc.
Volmalric: Look at what you've done, Meltam
Volmalric: This is why we can't have nice things
Meltam Perandus: I didn't really cause this. :shrug:
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): vs Pict Warrior - Minion 9 [7d6 = 23]
Slumbara hacks down a Minion.
Volmalric: Hauk, let's move back and forth, providing fire support so they think there's more of us and react more defensively than aggressively
Volmalric: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 27]
Volmalric: Stealth Successes = 1 [2d20 = 15]
Volmalric: Bow: (Close-2H-Volley-3D): [4d6 = 15]
Feneril (Slumbara): afk one sec
An arrow flies out of nowhere and smacks a Toughened Pict, he staggers backwards, surprised at the sudden attack.
Hauk: Parry, Ranged Weapons Successes = 2 [2d20 = 17]
Hauk: ¦¦ Hatchet (M): [6d6 = 27]
Hauk fires an arrow and kills a Pict running towards Slumbara.
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 17]

Meltam Perandus: Mace: (Reach 2-Unb-Knockdown-Stun-Pierce 1-3D): [4d6 = 19]
Meltam runs up, stuns tw of the PIct warriors and kills a third in a blood crazed frenzy.
The ground below Meltam rumbles and a figure explodes from the ground, yelling, "Thank you for freeing me with your Bloodshed! I come for your hearts!"
Reddish beams flow from its fingertips and strikes the chests of everyone nearby (not named Meltam)
Stone Warrior: [8d6 = 30]
Stone Warrior: [8d6 = 32]
Stone Warrior: [8d6 = 26]
Stone Warrior: [8d6 = 33]
Stone Warrior: [8d6 = 28]
Kazemi (Volmalric): KoolAid Man has become a little more grimdark for this campaign
Stone Warrior: [8d6 = 18]
Tack (Meltam Perandus): Hah!
Volmalric: What in Midra's name...?!
The beams strikes many of the Picts (and Slumbara.) The Picts hit by the beams have their chests explode and their hearts fly out from the exploded torsos and over to the creature, who devours them like a GrimDark Pac-Man.
Stone Warrior: Delicious!
The Picts near the captives scream in terror, grab as many as they can, and run into the cave. The others cower in fear from Slumbara (obviously)
Slumbara: New friend, hello my name is Slumbara
Slumbara waves to Stone Warrior
Slumbara: I see you also enjoy killing picts
Kazemi (Volmalric): Bonding time
Stone Warrior: No, I enjoy killing creatures of the flesh. I have been summoned by my master, the amazing Meltam, in exchange for the soul of the Gunderman.
Hauk: WHAT THE FUCK?
Hauk: This sucks!
Stone Warrior: HAHAHAHAHA
Slumbara: Meltam, I didn't know you had a rock man friend
Meltam Perandus: Yeah, sometimes I take him for granite.
Meltam Perandus: May bordem never find you!
Stone Warrior: Good pun, great Meltam. After I feast on Hauk, I will finish the rest of these annoyances.
Hauk: EGADS!
Hauk runs.
Volmalric: Meltam?! Did you just sell our ally's soul?
Slumbara: Wait, are we the annoyances?
Slumbara: Or the picts
Slumbara: that isn't a nice thing to say so Slumbara
Meltam Perandus: I cannot sell what was already owned by another.
Meltam Perandus smirks twistedly.
Volmalric: Pardon?
Slumbara shrugs
Slumbara: I leave these things to the witch doctors
Slumbara paints a bloody hand-print on his face and charges at the remaining picts
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 17]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): vs Pict Warrior - Toughened 6 [7d6 = 22]

Volmalric: Bow: (Close-2H-Volley-3D): [4d6 = 12]
Volmaric shoots a Pict warrior.
Hauk: DAMN YOU TO HELL, MELTAM PENDARUS!
Stone Warrior leaps through the air and does an amazing DFA on Hauk, splattering him in a way that causes his head to fly through the air. The Stone Warrior grabs it on its descent and begins wearing Hauk's head as a hat.
Stone Warrior: I forgot how much fun this world is! Bring me more corpses!
Stone Warrior runs over to defend Meltam.
Stone Warrior: Melee Successes = 2 [2d20 = 20]
Slumbara: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 20]
Meltam Perandus: I'd expect you to be a little sedimental about the pleasures of this realm...
Stone Warrior: I love the feel of human skin jackets.
Stone Warrior: [8d20 = 53]
Stone Warrior: ¦¦ Hatchet (M): [5d6 = 21]
Stone Warrior deflects most of the attacks that come at Meltam.
Stone Warrior: Ah, you bleed as well. How delicious.
Stone Warrior eyes glow red and looks hungrily at Meltam.
Slumbara: Your friend looks like he wants to eat you
Slumbara: Or fuck you
Slumbara: I don't know which would be worse
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 20]

Tack (Meltam Perandus): he does have rock hard abs. How could I go wrong?
Volmalric: Bow: (Close-2H-Volley-3D): [4d6 = 16]
Volmaric shoots another one and drops him.
Stone Warrior sprays red beams into the chests of the nearby Picts, slaughtering them.
Stone Warrior: Ah, I think I will stay here and create a throne of bones from the fallen. From there I shall rule this valley and use the humans as my play things.
Stone Warrior gestures dismissively at Meltam.
Stone Warrior: You may go.
Stone Warrior begins collecting dead picts.
Slumbara points to the picts he has killed
Slumbara: These ones are mine
Slumbara: Their heads at least
Slumbara: I don't want the rest
Stone Warrior: You may keep the heads. I only want the femurs and spinal columns.
Slumbara: Ok, good deal my friend
Stone Warrior: I think I shall appoint you as a general of my undead legions, you have a good head on your shoulders.
Slumbara: Wow, thanks friend
Stone Warrior: But first, you need to be dead, so I'll keep an eye on your for now and when the time comes collect you.
Slumbara: Ok, I'll send you my resume when I die
Slumbara: I am always looking for good paying work
Slumbara cuts the heads off the picts he killed and ties them to his pack
Stone Warrior sends Slumbara an Invite for ZombieBook.
Volmalric: What about the Picts in the burial mound?
Slumbara: We still need to learn about the white-skinned man
Slumbara: Rock friend, do you know where the white-skinned man leading the picts is?
Slumbara: You seem knowledgible
Slumbara: Particularly about human skins
Stone Warrior: Yes, he is in the cave there. You are welcome to deal with him.
Slumbara: Thanks!
Stone Warrior: I believe they are feverishly sacrificing captives to bring about some sort of apocalyptic thing.
Stone Warrior: You should probably not dwadle. And no, I'm not interested in helping you. The entity in the cave and I have a non-compete clause in our terrestrial agreements.
Meltam Perandus: Is that set in stone?
Meltam Perandus runs and hides.
Stone Warrior: Written with the blood of a sorcerer who summoned both of us at the same time.
Kazemi (Volmalric): Yeah, that's right Meltam. Go back and hide under the rock you came from
Stone Warrior: Technically, I think we used his tibula for the pen and his flesh for the contract.
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 3 [2d20 = 12]
Volmalric: Do I have any idea what demon thing this is?
Screams of terror echo from the cave.
Volmalric: We need to stop the other creature.
Slumbara: Well, time to earn that paycheck
Slumbara trundles into the cave whistling a happy tune
Meltam Perandus: Have fun out there rock-man!
Volmalric: It's apparently to late from preventing a spirit from being summoned into the valley, but preventing a second one will have to do for tonight
Pict Warrior - Toughened 4: Defeat the invaders! Protect the master!
Headdress Wearing Warrior: Hold them back while I slaughter these last few villagers and regain my full powers!

Slumbara: I will protect you
Villagers: EGADS!
Villagers runs in terror towards the cave entrance.
Volmalric: These Picts are being controlled.
Rolf: Thank you friends! I am Hauk's comrade. Did he live?
Volmalric glares at Meltam
Rolf: I will protect these fleeing villages and go back to where Hauk must be waiting for us with an army of Aquilonians!
Slumbara: No, he was killed by a rock man
Rolf grabs discarded weapon and looks at Slumbara angrily.
Meltam Perandus: There will never be aman so brave and courageous as Hawk. Verily the best of Aquilonia.

Minion #2 runs at Meltam and trips, sending his axe flying through the air and smashing into the back of Toughened #4, who dies, but not before tripping and causing his axe to sail through the air and break the neck of Toughened #7.
GM: Yes. I rolled FIVE 20s in 8 dice.
