Act IV Mount Everglow

[OGRE MAGE]

The journey to Mt. Everglow and the glowing tower begins here....

Could all spell casters make sure your new spells for the day are updated on your sheets?
Thanks!

Wyntar takes the rabbit in his arms and holds it close, petting behind its ears. (they love that) He shows everyone how much he really cares about the creatures of his lands.

He rubs noses and whispers to it softly before setting if back down on a large rock. He winks at Blodget and begins casting his magics. Polymorph Other
Fear not little one, I have done this many times. No harm will come to your little friend.
I hope

Suddenly the rabbit transforms into a huge, feathered bird with a giant beak. It's massive enough to carry a dozen men on it's back and looks like it can fly at great speeds.

Wyntar immediately begins casting again...Charm Monster

I think there are some rolls to be made but I'm not sure how or by who.

[greyarea]

Trotter nods at Wyntar's work. Nicely done.

[tkrexx]

Mira stands agog at the enormous creature that was before a mere bunny, and is in complete awe at the raw power released to make such a transformation.

Swapped out one 1st level spell.

[Storm11]

Halo tosses the Roc some meat as it finishes transforming, hoping to distract it with food whilst the charm hopefully takes hold.

its risky using such a big creature. Hippogriffs are usually chosen for a reason as their HD is low and have more of a struggle with the charm. Still we can but hope

[Inferno]

Blodget, halfling thief:

Wyntar
He winks at Blodget and begins casting his magics. Fear not little one, I have done this many times. No harm will come to your little friend.

With a mixture of wonder and fear, Blodget watched Peter magically transformed into a giant raptor that could easily swallow hobbits whole. "No harm to him? ...Wh-What about to us???"

[Hotgoblin]

Wyntar looks to Rabbit...Rabbit...if this actually works, I will need you to communicate with our friend. First we must find out if it is still Peter? Let him know that we mean him no harm and that we are in dire need of a ride.

[Nuke66]

Morgi is cautious as Wyntar does his trick, prepared to step in if necessary.

OOC: spells updated

[OGRE MAGE]

After Wyntar gives the bunny some Eskimo kisses, he begins his magical transformation. Amazingly, the rabbit survives the intense stress put on its tiny form. Little bunny rabbit Peter is now, in all respects, a huge Roc.

The thing rears its giant head back and starts to flap its 20 foot long wings. The wind it creates chills you to your bones. It lets out an ear piercing screech, seeming quite unhappy with its new, freezing cold surroundings. The thing looks like it is about to fly off, not even noticing Halo's tiny offering, when Wyntar finishes his second spell.

The enormous Roc seems to settle down a bit and stops its destructive flapping. It looks at Wyntar with a steely expression and then nods its huge head at the mage as if trying to communicate.

I had to reward a small bonus to one roll, but only because that was such a good idea for a newbie. I can't believe that actually worked.

[Scott308]

The monk steps forward and begins speaking to the giant bird.

Peter? I hope you are okay, friend. I'm sorry we had to do this to you, and that I was not as forthcoming about our plans for you. I told you we meant no harm, and that was true. We have no wish to hurt you, but we need you to take us someplace we cannot get to without flying. There is a strong evil in this region that is causing death and destruction, and if left unchecked will spread the pain and suffering far and wide, affecting man and animal alike. By turning you into this majestic, powerful creature, you can help us with our quest to put an end to this evil. And as a bonus, I know wolves are a threat to rabbits, but in your new form, you can hunt and eat wolves. They will now be terrified of you!

[OGRE MAGE]

The big bird with animal intelligence looks on at the monk quite confused.

Peter? Friend..... I help! Fly where? So cold!!!

[Inferno]

Blodget, halfling thief:

"P-Peter? No hard feelings about the hasenpfeffer, right? It was j-just a joke! Heh heh... heh."

[greyarea]

It seems Peter is our Roc: appropriate name, comments Trotter. Now is he flying us to the castle or somewhere else?

[MonkeyWrench]

Thomas eyes the giant Roc, still somehow attempting to look down at the creature even though it is several times his size. He speaks up, "How long does this spell last? And when it is done will the transformation back to a rabbit kill the creature?" He crosses his arms in thought. "Whatever it may be, we should move on soon. I agree with the animal, this wind bites at the bones."

[Storm11]

"Well hopefully he can fly Xano, Mira, Blodget, Wyntar, Trotter and Thomass, unless Morgi is ok with lending his ring to one of the group, and towing myself, to the tower." says Halo hopefully. "Perhaps if someone was to cast a spell that protects against cold the great bird might settle somewhat."

[OGRE MAGE]

The group assumes that, if Thomas casts his Resist Cold and Morgi uses his Cube, the Roc will be able to fly all of you to the tower in about 3 to 4 hours with minimal effects from the cold.

Can the DM assume that you will all ride along or is there another preferred method you would like to use? V formation maybe?

[Inferno]

He may!

[Dram]

Xano - Looks over the great beast. To the tower as the Great Eagle said. To bad we do not have a spell to make saddles. Rabbit let him know that I will tying a rope around so that we can secure ourselves. I



OCC.Yes the DM may. Do we need to roll anything?

[Hotgoblin]

Wyntar climbs onto Peter's magnificent back and motions to the others to do the same, while petting the great bird in a soothing fashion.

[tkrexx]

Her initial shock over, Mira can't help but muse aloud. This goes against everything I've been taught, we will hardly go unnoticed this way. Still, she does her best to mount the vast creature in preparation for flight.
