Though certain instruments have been around a long time, and are thought of as being as old as dirt, they have always been very primitive objects: drums, musical bows, etc. However, due to the influx of money from Natoya due to the agreed amount they must pay, the few instrument makers in Taelia have flourished in the past few years, as the rich are willing to spend on novelty items. Luthiers have begun to innovate to sell more of these products off, and as such, several new instruments such as the lyre and harp have been invented.

Regarding the attack of the previous year, the chief remains furious about it. He believes that in a few years time, it will be necessary to assist the chiefdoms also under siege by the cultists, or if the cultists have already triumphed by then, to go to war. His advisors who are against this plan seem to have no influence over him right now; vengeance is the only thing on his mind.

We would start organizing our army by splitting them to certain roles that they would need to fill. We would have something like "The Wings of Esaudh" which would be groups of lightly armored men that specialize in skirmishes and so on, they would be very quick and what not. Among them, there would be a special unit that would be recruited from the wood-dwelling Taelians with the goal of being basic rangers/stealth boys. Units in the Wings of Esaudh would be called Feathers and the leader of the unit would be Wing Leader or Commander perhaps. The elite core would be the 100 pros we have. The main body of the army would be called "The Beak of Esaudh" and they would have some heavier armor and weapons and do the main amount of fighting.

A second assault by the beasts from the sea is more easily repelled, the inquisitors of the Priests of Esaudh having done their work well. The gates remain closed, and the stone walls stand tall over the creatures, though they do manage to kill a few of those who go out to slay them. A sacrifice, Chief Ard says, that won't be in vain. With the army having split up into several different branches, however, it was expected that there would be a proper battle. However, the chief says otherwise; having reached out to both the chiefdoms currently affected, it has been decided that a fleet of ships, 5 from each nation, will sail south and attempt to end this threat. Though the Lavingi and Hilgot are old enemies, both see this current issue as more important, as support for both chiefs slowly wanes. The people are tired of bloodshed, it seems, even if it means giving up the old ways.

Your search concludes that the mountains here are cursed by some kind of spirit that drives men to cannibalism. It stands taller than the average man, and appears to be humanoid, from the tracks you found. A return in the future will be necessary to kill the beast, as for now you returned home.

---

The chief has decided to take whoever is willing to come with him, and against the advice of all, leaving the Chief's Men at home. He sees the 100-strong group as nothing more than a potential nuisance, who would get in the way of his slaying of the beast. However, he is fine with some men coming, as long as they don't bother him. He does stress the deadly nature of this assignment, though assuring you he will do his best to keep you alive. No promises though.

Who will you send, if anyone?

Goraidh himself will come, he has been blessed by Esaudh and as a member of the Striking Talons it is his duty to destroy any enemies to Esaudh that dare show themselves.

Roughly 30 people, including the chief, make up those that will be attending to this matter. However, with so many warriors wanting to fight and very few sailors wishing to row into a death trap, a few of you are forced to also act as rowers, though the chief makes sure to join you. Morale is high as you set off towards Lavingi, where all three parties are set to meet...

The wind aids you a bit in your travel, guiding you to friendly shores with relative ease. While Neria, where you arrive after a short while, does not seem to be experiencing all that much upheaval, you are told upon arrival that Big Boar Island is in open rebellion. The Hilgotian members of your party, who arrive a few days after, tell you that much the same is happening in their part of the continent, with the small hamlets near Lakeside having begun converting to the frozen faith.

Before you head south due to the arrival of your comrades, the chief allows you all a day of rest. You can wander around, or just chill at your lodgings. He will be with the other chiefs, making sure all the preparations are complete, before you roughly 100 warriors head to complete your mission.

The other men are a mixed bunch. The Hilgotians in particular appear to have sent men who have had family members or their livelihoods injured thanks to the cultists. Perhaps that is their way of guaranteeing their loyalty? Their warriors bear throwing axes. The Lavingi are another matter, having sent their strongest and loudest. Their warriors, unlike the Hilgotians, bear large, bronze axes, which they call bearded axes. These are primarily meant for traditional combat, rather than fighting at a distance.

You discover in the morning that cultists attacked Neria's shipyard in the early hours that day, but only managed to burn two boats before being caught in the act. However, before they could be captured fully, all but one killed themselves. The sole survivor has remained silent, other than stating what they do is what is natural; "A disobedient slave should be slaughtered like swine."

As you set off, a cold wind blows.

Each night, fog drew in, and strange things could be spotted in the sea below. And when the fog peeled away, entire ships went with it. This is how it has gone for two weeks, until you finally reach the island. Not as 13 ships, but 7... or 9? As you beach, it appears that two of the vessels you thought lost arrived here ahead of you.

What will you do? The chief advises setting up camp, and seeing if there is anything to hunt. Death will come for the monster soon enough. His bravado seems less impressive (and less amusing) here.

The group led by Coilean and Goraidh managed to discover quite a bit while they were out. Following the footprints that led from the abandoned ships, they began moving across the flat tundra, towards the snowy glacier that crested out in the distance. Once there, they happened upon the bodies of the missing; torn apart, the corpses were rearranged to read "turn back." Of course, both men refused to do that, and carried on forward. After about half an hour's journey up the massive pack of ice and snow, a hole appeared in the side of it, one that had not been there before. Walking down and up again, it appears to them, as they relate to you, that it has been hidden from the bottom, and can only be seen once you are very close to it. They've marked the way with what they had on them, and believe that if you move by nightfall, you should be able to strike when the fiend is least expecting it.

The chief is eager, but what about the rest of you?

As you move towards the den of the spirit, the darkness truly engulfs you. But with torches held high, you carry on through the bitter frost, and eventually arrive at the hole told of by your comrades. The chief enters first, and the men of three chiefdoms follow, moving into the hole in the ice.

Unlike what many had thought the beast's cave was to be, the area is wide and expansive, and supported by pillars of ice spanning many meters. The creatures you had only encountered fleetingly previously move about here freely, not even sparing you a glance. And at the center, on a throne of a black material and with broken chains at his feet, sits what can only be the beast itself.

"Welcome, newborns."

A sound of crackling ice accompanies its voice, though under it, a thick layer of contempt makes itself known.

"Would you rather learn from me, or die by my hand?"

>>3244644
"Who are you exactly?"

>>3244644

"I am Arel, the-"

"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!"

The voice of Ard resonates throughout the cavern.

"We should have brought fuckin' axes."

With that, sparing not a glance at the men behind him, he charges the thing, and left with no choice, you all follow!

Strangely, the chief's energy is infectious, and as a few men spread out to attack the horrific servants of the thing now known as Arel, the rest of you charge the devil. The thick ice covering every layer of the creature does not seem to slow it down much though, as it keeps up with your assault, and throws in a few attacks of its own. However, your numbers and speed are allowing you to dish out more damage than you are being dealt. The chieftain, true to his word, may just be the man to kill the demon!

Coilean once again proves his skills here, taking his sword and slicing into the devil's heel. He falls to one knee, crying out in pain, where the rest of the warriors are more easily able to attack the demon While Arel also has his own attacks that are easier to use from this level, such as a freezing breath that leaves the chief sidelined at least for the moment, he is left greatly weakened by this assault. His servants cannot help him, dealing with their own struggle, and can only look on as their god seems to be about to fall to mere mortals!

The men are tired, many of them not having slept all day. As there is a noticable change in the tide of combat, this is what you blame it on. Arel grabs a nearby pillar and sweeps, knocking those foolish enough to remain next to him for more than a moment against the wall, crushing them like bugs. It is a bloody reminder that you are not immortal, and that this fight has dire consequences. The frost emitted by the thing is even hurting the chief himself, as his left hand appears frozen solid. However, the spirit of the men is not broken, and a lightning bolt delivered by Goraidh reminds the men what they are fighting for. Not just family, not just nation; but for their faiths, united for one time and one time alone against this threat to all!

As the fight continues, something strange happens to Arel's hand! Slamming it against the wall of the cavern, it cracks, and slowly begins to fall apart, revealing a red hand beneath the ice. From that freed piece of his body, heat begins to radiate, and the cracks begin to flow up through the rest of the ice on him. What's worse, the heat is as bad as the frost being driven from his mouth, resulting in several men receiving grievous burns. As the struggle continues, if he is not stopped soon (and it looks increasingly like he will not be), he may soon be free. While there are only a handful of his servants remaining, it is not them you should be worried about, as your numbers begin to dwindle...

Though his servants are all gone, the cracks in the ice have spread up to Arel's shoulder, and even worse, they have begun to form on the ice casing his other limbs too. Each assault is being hampered by his control over both flame and frost, which he is generating from both his hands. Men like the Pathfinder can only do so much, as the cohesion of your band of warriors crumbles. Can anyone stand up against the beast before it is too late?

You carry on with a DC of 55, -10 Arel, grieviously wounded, -10 high morale, -5 experience, -5 numbers, +10 monsters, +25 weakened Angel.

Along with Arel's left hand, his right leg is now free! Where he stomps against the ground, cracks radiate outwards, a strange red fire filling them. Some fall prey to this, and are horrifically burnt by Arel's flame. As the battle continues, it becomes clear that if something is not done immediately, all hope is lost. That is when the chieftain stands up, his hand blackening from the frostbite that threatens to take everything up to his wrist. And, perhaps foolishly, perhaps courageously, he charges forth again, grasping his blade in his other hand!

"FUCK YOU!"

His cry is echoed by you, the last remaining men, as you aim one last time to stop the root of all this madness!

And the battle ends with a DC of 50, -10 Arel, grieviously wounded, -10 high morale, -10 last stand, -5 experience, -5 numbers, +10 monsters, +30 weakened Angel.

It is unknown who struck the last blow, for as the cave let out an ominous rumble, Arel indeed stood free. But pockmarking his body were a thousand and one cuts, ensuring the room that had been his prison in life would remain it in death.

"So, nearly, free," he muttered, clutching onto the last standing pillar for support.

But as the cave collapsed, there was no time for talking, or mourning the dead. Those alive could only think of one thing: escape. Home. Warmth. Not heat. But warmth.

Returning to the boats in the grey light of morning, of you, the 100 soldiers sent to fight, little above 25 returned, the chief among them, unconscious, and heavily wounded. Perhaps in the future, you would be seen as heroes, martyrs, or even those sent to be damned. But for now, you were just men, and as the curious sailors poked their heads out of their tents, and rushed to help those of you that they could save, even the bitter cold could not stop you from having a well deserved rest.

Break off a part of his body before we bail.

Clearly answers are needed and all know everyone will ask.

"What and whom was this Arel? Are their other such brings out there? What are their names and do you have a connection too them? Please Esaudh your children need your guidance more than ever in this changing world"

The tribute bring all the hunter has, a family carved bone knife and more art

The defeat of the beast known as Arel is being celebrated across the Bay of Seals, and the few cultists who remain are either abandoning their faith or facing certain death. A few questions remain, however: what was his goal? Why was he chained up there? And what link does he have to the settlements on the continent?

Luckily, Esaudh answers a few of these through the priests. It appears that Arel was one of the oldest beings alive, and held a deepseated belief that mortals are suited to be nothing more than slaves. Your god believes that if he had not been defeated, a chance existed that you would all have been enslaved by he and his followers. In other news, the chief has replaced his now missing hand with a hook, which has been embedded in his flesh via his god-given powers. He seems a changed man, much less self-confident than he was before.

A marriage between the daughter of the chief of Hilgot and your own chief takes place in late summer, with the ceremony taking place by the fountain. With this, the defensive pact is secured. It is expected that this will result in increased trade as well, and you are already seeing the results of this in some ways. For example, the introduction of the ard has allowed for farms closer to the mountains to break up the soil more effectively, and is having a noticeable impact on all agriculture within Taelia. However, the stonework of Taelia is also spreading overseas, showing that this cultural exchange is not a one-way event.

Docks

Docks around the nation are built and expanded, ensuring that the flow of goods and people can occur unhindered. However, as this occurs, news comes from Natoya; their chief, who has been embattled since his defeat at your hands, has been killed in an "accident", and his son has risen to power. Due to this, they are no longer paying the reparations, and there is a chance that they will be attacking your ships again in the future.

With the new docks in place, shipwrights have begun to create designs which are similar to Natoyan ships, containing 30-oars. You have yet to build any of this new style of galley, but what ships you do have are prepared for war. At the same time, Natoya appears to be in the process of rebuilding their own navy, which now appears to be fifteen ships strong as well.

In other news, it appears that the Lavingi have formed an alliance with a foreign nation called Escrea, one of their trading partners to the west. Disgustingly, it is a nation of orcs.

One day, as the new ships are built, something approaches on the horizon... ships, and they appear to be from Natoya!

The Natoyans struck as you once had on their port, burning what they could and using some strange prolonged bow to bash the vessels in the harbor! Before long, slingmen and archers were present, and the enemy were seen off around late afternoon, but most of the ships are now beyond repair or sunk. Only 6 are untouched, and 4 salvageable.

That evening, the chief seeks the wisdom of various community leaders on what to do now.

What do you suggest?

>>3246758
Call the Hilgotians, make more boats and crush the Swampfuckers.

>>3246758
start rebuilding our navy, but do it secretly in the river, to protect against another First strike

>>3246758
"None should be left alive. Rip them out root and stem."

>>3246758
Salvage the ships. Seek an audience with our new allies about sea warfare against natoya. Then perhaps raid them from the land taking out their mines and towns outside the swamps.

We need more ships and seaborne Allies immediately

>>3246758
Salvage what we can and prep for vengeance, they know we will come this I propose we use some smaller faster ships to prove the enemy none stop, tire them out by having too constantly patrol more and more but not only that it will mean when we truly attack they might be closer too react thinking it's yet another faint

After roughly two weeks, your envoy returns with a response from Hilgot; they can help, but they need some in return. This is because, allying with Natoya, the Lavingi and Escreans have declared war on Hilgot.

What ships can be saved, have been. It is late spring now, and while building up the navy could be a boon, fighting during the colder seasons would be difficult. However, morale is high, many seeing this as another chance to crush your unruly neighbor.

What will you do?

>>3246866
We should stick the northern settlements of the Natoya and burn everything not within the swamp. Our boats move in after as their people are spread thin and burn their docks trapping then in the swamps and we can keep an eye on them then we send some forces too aid our allies as we sweep across

>>3246866
Lead a land attack at them during the dawn after sending in people at night to set ships alight or sabotage the northern defences.

Show ships moving toward natoya to any smaller natoyan settlements on the way to the main town. Then slow to a crawl to allow the villagers to warn the main town

Rolled 2 (1d2)

A land attack is agreed upon, with most wishing to send boats up the river to attack the north and encircle the Natoyans. A few ships will also be sent to "attack" Natoya, moving slowly and allowing for themselves to be captured while the army moves south and takes the city. An ambitious plan to be sure, but the chief believes Raendh's idea is the best chance you have.

Give me three rolls.
