Session 133 - 10th October 2023 - The Plan Pt2
Xan will go with the Griffins and Hipofilius to plant the dragon
Bullbug disguised as Braz and others join him in Team Braz. A few goliaths also have claimed horns and transformed themselves into Braz.
Pholon is disguised as Hipofilius, with help from Nessa. A few horses too have been claimed in the pursuit of impersonating Hipofilius with small stuffed figures on to of them.
Every is halfing dressed as Theo - a fake beard pulled from seaweed
The Amazons split into almost a quarter each - a few are disguised as Helikaon with long hair and thick heavy armour. Their stimfeys painted green to replicate Aeneus.
Some amazons dressed as Xan, hoods and capes.
Sailors mimic Calliope and use sails as wings, some trying to wear sandals on the incorrect feet to mimic her gait.
Amazons take spare leather skirts and have painted them yellow and green to mimic the snakes on Alke’s head.
Four goats and two cow dressed to mimic Hippofilus
The party departs.
The boat approaches. Bones of giant humanoids scatter the island. The doors are tall and wide and the tower dominates the bay - the only completed building in sight. Others sit in ruins.
Three griffins screech across the sky, Lucrecia and Xan sit atop one of the birds, with a small cupiuchin monkey on Xan’s lap. Between the claws of on hangs a dolphin.
They fly up and over a ridgeline and spot another cove. Lucretia whispers into her griffin’s ear to land in the trees. A shattered and broken dock reaches out from the bay. As the side the griffins place the dolphins down and peck at the remains.
“How long so we wait?”
“Until it comes”
Hippofilius send the scents of game on the breeze.

The dragon eats the dolphin and the party rejoin their friends on the Ultros..
The tower is a flurry of activity and a figure in a blue coak races across the beach and up towards the wall of the city to warn the others. They have left the top of the tower undefended. Two gygans charge down onto the belt to issue a formal challenge to The Chosen… but WHICH ONES! He torows a sword in the sand in frustration. The gygans are cut down like they were nothing.
There is a defense standing before them.
Skill | Who | Success or fail |
History check on the tower to bring it down on the soldiers | Alke | A spot halfway up the tower looks a little weaker, she aims and the concrete cracks and a large chunk falls down. |
Deception check to cast an illusion to hide where the magic comes from | Theo | A version of Alke appears across the beach and seems to cast a spell, drawing attention away from the real one |
The tower collapses and leaves the guards indefensible.
