Escape from the Fae Forest (Turn 5 posted)

Post by sahasrahla » Mon Oct 03, 2022 2:38 pm

Somewhere deep in uncharted forestlands....

Image

Harrier Scout: Commander Alice! We've finally found a landmark. It appears to be a forest temple of some sort.
Cmdr. Alice: About time. We've been wandering lost in this accursed forest for almost a week. By every map we should have come out the other side days ago. We need to get through so we can continue our campaign of vengeance against the Bubblegum Banshees!

Image

Alice: Looks pretty empty to me. Wonder if we can find a map inside.

Image

Meanwhile, a troop of Fine Forest Fellows stumble across the temple, led by legendary outlaw Robbin' the Hood!
Robbin: Hi Ho! We certainly aren't lost, no no! We feel right at home in this spooky infinite forest, yes sir!
Fine Forest Fellow #3: I think all the trees are messing with the boss' head.
Fine Forest Fellow #5: We have to get the hell out of here, pronto.

Image

????: Oho, we have guests! Places, everyone!

Image

Down from the temple comes a chipper little gnome in a fine tweed vest.
Gnome: Welcome ye travelers, from near and far! It seems you may not know just where you all are. My names Blimey Blarney, and I'll give you a clue: this forest ain't feeling too friendly towards you! But if freedom from faewild be what you all seek, then come to the temple and have a quick peek!

Image

Blimey Blarney: Inside there's a statue you may want to see. The first one to touch it will get to go free! You're under a curse that keeps you stuck here, but with that grand statue there's nothing to fear! But the good statue's blessing will only come once, so the last person there's gonna feel like a dunce!

Image

Blimey Blarney: And here's one thing more I should probably say: the guardians here want to keep you away! If you can get past them (those spears ain't no jape!) then maybe, just maybe, you'll get to escape!

Image

Alice: I have to ask. Did you write all that out ahead of time?
Blimey Blarney: No showman would ever so cheaply reveal what makes his performances seem just so real.

Image

Blimey Blarney: Farewell weary travelers, it's your lucky day. Just reach reach that old statue and you're off and away!
Harrier Scout: Okay dude it's starting to get annoying now.

Image

Meanwhile, in the caverns beneath the forest temple, Jeffrey the Jester is up to something fiendish.

Image

Jeffrey: This looks like a good spot. FIRE PORTAL! FWOOSH!!

Image

Jeffrey: That ought to do it. Cpt Fluffypuppy owes me big for this one....

Image

With a puff of smoke and a raucous cackle he vanishes.

Image

But then fire demons begin pouring out of the portal!
Scylla: Look out flammable beings, We are Pentagram and we are gonna melt your faces off! ONE TWO THREE FOUR *blistering heavy metal solo*

Image

Dwarf soldier #1: Kids these days don't know what good music is.
Dwarf soldier #2: What? I can't hear you!

Image

The dwarves gather to defend against the incoming swarm of fire demons.

Image

Meanwhile the Dwellers in the Forest take up positions to protect their sacred statue.

Image

Two more elven archers stand guard around the Wood Wizard in the attic.

Except for this lady who dives into the river to put herself out.

Image

The centaurs, Forest Warden, and Flower Folk advance, waiting for any enemies to enter their charging range.

At his command, a massive stone golem appears.

Grunt: that's the worst rhyme I've ever heard in my-- *explodes*

TURN 2

Hot & Spicy Legion: (Bragallot)

Image

All three members of Pentagram go in for some cow-tipping

Image

But dwarf-bred cows are tough as rock and the heavy metal musicians find themselves getting tipped instead! [feat failed!]

Image

Grunt and heavy grunt team up to take down the other dwarven defender.

Image

This guy shoots and misses.

Dwarven Defenders: (Joshua)

Image

Musketeers fire on the fire grunts, killing one.

Image

Cowvalry charger tramples Satan! Only Scylla and Scotty remain

Image

Blimey Blarney goes for the shiny green gem.

Image

"Green's me lucky color after all."

Image

He attempts to use his leprechaun magic to fill the cavern with four-leaf clovers, but only gets a single unlucky three-leaf clover instead! [feat failed!]

Image

Tinkeress throws her enchanted scissors.

Image

With a few quick snips, they cut away Scylla's fabulous rocker chick hairdo, leaving her ugly!
Scylla: noooo, that dye job cost me like $400!

Image

Gnomes meanwhile completely demolish the bridge, and Robbin takes a dunk in the creek!

Image

Gnome: godspeed my crusty friend

Image

Forest Fellow: aaaaah i'm allergic to shellfish!!

FINE FOREST FELLOWS: (Mr.President)

Image

This guy starts an alluring melody on his lute.

Image

Dripping wet but undaunted, Robbin emerges from the creek in an astounding soprano accompaniment. His voice pierces the soul. Several nearby Harriers are beguiled by the eerie beauty of it, and become unable to attack the Forest Fellows for a turn! [feat success!]

Image

The other Forest Fellows counterattack and slay a harrier knight

HEAVY METAL HARRIERS: (Cracjaw)

Image

Alice launches a fireball at the bridge.

Image

Two gnomes perish in the explosion [feat success!]

Image

Harrier scouts advance but miss their marks.

Image

A Harrier regular slays one of the flower folk while a mage knight follows behind, slowed by her heavy armor.

Image

These two resisted Robbin's song and slay a fine forest female.

THE DWELLERS IN THE FOREST: HappyBrickHead

Image

The stone golem finds the path down the hill overcrowded, so he goes offroading

Image

He picks up the surviving flower folk, which squeals indignantly

Image

He hurls the bright-colored ball of rage at the nearest Harrier scout, impaling her.

Image

Centaurs rush down the hill, taking out the Harrier on their way

Image

The wood wizard attempts to cast a spell, but he rolls shit and the magic fizzles out like a fart

Image

Other forest denizens hold back, waiting...

Image

Four more Fine Forest Fellows arrive to reinforce their comrades!

Image

Four fresh dwarves come rushing to the cave to assist!

Image

A fearsome fire troll squeezes his way through the fire portal!

OVERWATCH SHOTS:

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

So far the temple's defenses remain unbreached! REMAINING FORCES:
Harriers: one scout, one regular, two mage knights, and Alice (REINFORCEMENTS NEXT TURN!)

TURN 3

HOT & SPICY LEGION: (Bragallot)

Image

Scylla and Scotty play some GRAVE DIGGERRRR using their fallen brother as a drum kit, but as it turns out Scylla is actually a terrible singer! [Feat failed!]

Image

Heavy Grunt goes after the pistoleer but misses.

Image

This grunt potshots the other musketeer.

Image

Fire Troll grabs the gnome tinkeress

Image

But he flubs his hurl roll and tosses her straight into the remaining members of Pentagram, disrupting them!

THE DWELLERS IN THE FOREST: (HappyBrickHead)

Image

The Wood Wizard summons a water elemental from the creek. It grabs the Harrier mage knight with an oceanic roar!

Golem attempts to paste Alice but a scout redshirts for her.

Image

Centaurs charge out and take out a Harrier regular

Image

Flower folk picks itself up and goes after Alice, but misses.

FINE FOREST FELLOWS: (Mr. President)

Image

Robbin' the Hood does a sweet Errol Flynn flip off the tree

Image

He cuts the centaur in half!

Image

He is now mounted on the decapitated centaur's legs. [Feat success!]

Image

It takes several forest fellows ganging up on the Mage Knight but they take her down.

Image

The other forest fellows attack the water spirit but spears and arrows can't damage a body made of water!

HEAVY METAL HARRIERS: (Cracjaw)

Image

Alice is starting to get pissed. She attempts to summon a firestorm over the temple, but it rained this morning and she can't get it to burn. [Feat failed!]

Image

She still cuts down the flower folk.

Image

The Mage Knight blows fire from her magic sword and uses it to slash off the water spirit's arm, cutting herself free!

Image

She lands on top of the other centaur, disrupting both.

DWARVEN DEFENDERS: (Joshua)

Image

ALL of the reinforcements go gangbusters on Pentagram and smash them to bits!

Image

The pistoleer backs up the stairs and fires on the Heavy Grunt, but his armor protects him.

Image

The gnome tinkerer runs in and tosses his sack to Blimey.

Image

Blimey Blarney: Cheers mate!

Image

From within the magic sack he produces a flask of holy water!

Image

Blimey: Cool off a little, chap!
The fire troll is weakened! [Feat success!]

Image

The cowvalry charger does his thing and gut punches the fire troll, but even in its weakened state it survives disrupted!

Image

Two more fire grunt reinforcements arrive through the portal.

Image

Harrier reinforcements arrive just in time, since the initial force is almost wiped out by now!

A few overwatch shots:

Image
Image

So far the forest defenders seem to have the upper hand! No one has breached the temple's defenses yet!

TURN 4

Hot & Spicy Legion: (Bragallot)


Image

First off, this grunt gives the dead dwarf a shave

Image

"Yep, should do tha trick."

Image

"No need to sulk boss, no haircut is unfixable."

Image

Scylla: Wearing the hair of my fallen enemies is almost as metal as wearing their blood! I love it!
With a sweet 6 on his What I Say Goes roll, Gorkul the demon barber uses the power of a new "haircut" to revive Scylla to fight again!

Image

Fire troll: DINNER!!!
He grabs the cave cow

Image

Being made of fire, all he has to do is tear off a leg and it cooks in his hand in seconds!
Fire Troll: YUM

Image

The cowvalry rider lands disrupted but unharmed

Image

Heavy grunt attacks the dwarf pistoleer but fumbles badly

Image

Crossbow grunt has similar bad luck.

Image

Finally this dude managed to actually stab the pistoleer

Image

Two more heavies emerge from the fire portal.

THE FINE FOREST FELLOWS: (Mr. President)

Image

Robbin' and lute guy start another duet.

Image

The ululations of his song vibrate at precisely the right frequency to disrupt the water elemental, causing it to explode! [feat success!]

Image

Then he takes a swipe at the golem but doesn't do anywhere near enough damage to beat its armor

Image

These brave and chivalrous fellows dispatch two foes in honorable combat. Just kidding, they stab the knight and the centaur while they're downed and helpless

Image

The rest of the Forest Fellows start up the cliff and archers take out the Wood Wizard.

DWARVEN DEFENDERS: (Joshua)

Image

All of the melee dwarves gang up on this dude and murder the crap out of him.

Image

Cowvalry rider picks up a dropped weapon.

Image

"REVENGE FOR DAISY!!!"

Image

dink, no damage. vengeance failed

Image

Gnome tinkeress has orders to get up and stab someone, but inconveniently she is dead

Image

Blimey Blarney: Poor shot chap, here's how you do it!
He fires his hidden umbrella gun and takes out the archer.

Image

This guy stands guard at the upper cave entrance.

THE DWELLERS IN THE FOREST: HappyBrickHead

Image

Golem counterattacks against Robbin, but he dodges easily.

Image

The Warden of the Forest finally advances and takes down a forest fellow. The rest of the fae warriors continue to hold back, waiting for enemies to enter their range.

THE HEAVY METAL HARRIERS: (NPC'd from lack of orders)

Image

The harrier regulars and one of the mage knights all gang up on two forest fellows, but only take out one of them.

Image

The rest of the squad all attacks the golem together, and manage to take it down.

Image

Alice hops up and decapitates it

REMAINING FORCES:
Harriers: three regulars, two mage knights, two mounted knights, and Alice
Forest Fellows: one swordsman, lute guy, two archers, and Robbin' the Hood
Fire Legion: two heavy grunts, one archer, one spearman, one fire troll, and Scylla (REINFORCEMENTS NEXT TURN!)
Dwarven Defenders: four dwarf infantry, one dwarf musketeer, one gnome, and Blimey
Dwellers in the Forest: four elven archers (two in the temple), three elven lancers (all in the temple), a fae bard, a faun charger (also in the temple), and the Warden of the Forest.

Sorry for the delay, stuff got crazy and then the forum died and then more stuff got crazy. The forest fellows are approaching the temple, but no one has reached it yet! Send orders for turn 5!!!
