The climb will take place over the span of an hour, and a total of three times, there will be an ATHLETICS roll made to take DMG from stumbling or making mistakes, as unskilled climbers.
|
||||
|
||||
At the top of the mountain is a relatively uneven and rocky circle of about 200 feet in width, basically making this a hilltop mountain. As your group climbs up onto the top, Jekhyra unhooks each of you from the rope, letting you all walk around and enjoy the view. And the view is spectacular even from this low of a climb, as you have a much better view of those spectacular and significantly bigger mountains, only barely obscured by the few small boulders around you. Until one of the large boulders begins to move entirely on its own.
|
||||
At the top of the mountain is a relatively uneven and rocky circle of about 200 feet in width, with sparse boulders littering it.
|
||||
|
||||
(ATHLETICS roll) Someone loses their footing thanks to the loose rocks from the uneven crag and falls over the cliffside, careening down into the distance. But before anyone does anything, a massive SOMETHING whizzes right down in the same direction at breakneck speed.
|
||||
|
||||
The falling character comes face to face with a large brown creature that grabs them in its massive arms, curls tightly around them to flip itself forward, and SLAMS into the ground full force, leaving a small crater upon landing with its two massive yet stubby legs
|
||||
|
||||
The creature slowly lets the fallen person down onto their own two feet, revealing the thick muscular arms under all those spiny armor spikes. You realize you are being stared down by a seven foot tall AND wide pangolin. And the only thing he is wearing is an awkwardly designed loincloth.
|
||||
Jekhyra unhooks you individually when you each safely reach the top, letting you all walk around and enjoy the view. This practice mountain PALES in comparison to the other ones surrounding you, but the view over the trees, lake, and building is stellar.
|
||||
|
||||
The massive creature peers down at the character and in a halting and slow manner, manages to form a few simple words in a deep, toungue-heavy voice. "YOU? OKAY? HURT?"
|
||||
*WHERE IS DM*
|
||||
"Oh right, forgot you came to see him. He's around here somewhere, pretty hard to miss."
|
||||
|
||||
(INVESTIGATE roll) You find a massive rock that has a weird patterned texture, and even weirder, it appears to be... breathing?
|
||||
|
||||
The thing you found suddenly begins to move, raising itself up out of its small divot in the ground, stretching a pair of massive arms wide and unfurling a colossal tail, groaning loudly.
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone on top of the cliff watches this massive monster unfurl itself, stretch its arms out, and unfurling its tail, and realize immediately it was just yawning and stretching.
|
||||
|
||||
But you all also witness, in a fraction of a second, its tail accidentally swings out and pushes every one of your team backwards a bit, and it unfortunately knocks (player that woke him up) off the cliff.
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone rushes to the side of the cliff and tries to catch the fallen teammate, but noone can quite reach him in time. And you watch your teammate descend backward and down into the distance.
|
||||
|
||||
Even at this shallower height, you know landing from a fall like that will likely be serious, if not fatal. But before any of your group can even grieve, that massive brown creature LEAPS right down in the same direction at breakneck speed.
|
||||
|
||||
The falling character comes face to face with a large brown creature that grabs them in its massive arms, curls tightly around them to flip itself forward, and SLAMS into the ground full force, leaving a small crater upon landing.
|
||||
|
||||
The creature slowly lets you down onto your own two feet, and is currently looking you over, which gives you a chance to look over your savior as well.
|
||||
|
||||
The creature LOOMS over you with a body that is INSANELY beefy, every inch of it is covered in muscle from the front. His arms are huge & tipped with foot long nails, his entire back half is covered with what resembles brown dragon scales, his tail is almost as long as he is, and the only clothing he is wearing is a very minimal brown loincloth.
|
||||
|
||||
You are being stared down by a seven foot tall AND wide pangolin, staring at you with bright brown eyes atop a long muzzle. He leans down and, in a halting and slow manner, manages to form a few simple words in a deep, toungue-heavy voice. "YOU? OKAY? HURT?"
|
||||
|
||||
Once they confirm they are okay, the creature nods, turns around, and jams its claws into the rock face, suddenly climbing its way back up the mountain face like it's nothing.

*IF ANYONE STAYED BEHIND*
|
||||
You've either been getting hassled by the gym bros into joining them for a workout, or mulling around the equipment store looking over the gear. When that massive pangolin lands outside the building, literally everything and everyone stops, watching the creature set your teammate down, and climb up the wall like some scaley spidermonkey. Everyone suddenly runs outside and checks in with your teammate, making sure they're okay.

*AT THE TOP OF THE CLIFFSIDE*
|
||||
About five minutes has passed since you watched your companion fall down into the distance, Jekhyra keeping you all from doing anything reckless. Instead, she regales you with tales of her spelunking in the mountains' various caves, rope bridging to help speed the process of crossing more dangerous ones, and even the time she paraglided from this mountainside... right into the lake.
|
||||
When that massive pangolin lands outside the building, everyone stops to watch him set your teammate down, and climb up the wall like some scaley spidermonkey.
|
||||
|
||||
You all begin to hear rumbling and spot a massive brown scaly creature climbing up the rock walls with its large talons, and it is approaching FAST. (NOTICE ROLL) And YOU recognize it as the thing that dove after your friend moments after they fell.

*AT THE TOP*
|
||||
|
||||
Jekhyra has been doing her best to talk each and every one of you down from doing something stupid like going after your teammate unescorted or jumping down there.
|
||||
|
||||
You all begin to hear rumbling from the side of the cliff.
|
||||
|
||||
You spot a massive brown scaly creature climbing up the rock walls with its large talons, and it is approaching FAST. And yes, it is the thing that dove after your friend.
|
||||
|
||||
Upon reaching the top, the creature helps itself up onto the flat surface and kinda just stands there for a second, before waving at you all and contorting its hands around as it speaks haltingly. "FRIEND. OKAY. RIDE? DOWN?" He then turns around and points to his back, offering to escort you down.
|
||||
|
||||
*IF ANYONE ASKS OR OBJECTS*
|
||||
Jekhyra will step forward and stand beside the creature. "You got nothing to worry about. Tlaloc here's the Domain Master and an expert mountain climber." She will pat him on the shoulder before stepping away. "I'm going down the long way, so you can either go with me, or with him."

Jekhyra will step forward and stand beside the creature. "You got nothing to worry about. Tlaloc here's an expert mountain climber." She will pat him on the shoulder before stepping away. "I'm going down the long way, so you can go with me, or with him."
|
||||
|
||||
*EITHER WAY*
|
||||
It only takes a few minutes before Tlaloc makes it to the ground, and when he touches down, he kneels down to let you all off his back. He just smiles as best he can while he watches your group climb down off him and reunite with your fallen teammate. After you all have caught up, he points to the building Jekhyra pointed out and waves for you to follow him.
|
||||
It only takes a few minutes before Tlaloc makes it to the ground, and when he touches down, he kneels down to let you all off his back. Once you are all off, he steps away and smiles in a goofy manner, showing his toothless gums.
|
||||
|
||||
Once inside, he takes you through the gym area to a room in the back of the gym itself, and tosses you each a bottle of ice cold water. He himself grabs one as well and simply holds it over his head, poking a hole with one talon and guzzling the water as it streams out in only a few seconds. After he finishes, he clears his throat as best he can and points at your group, then the floor, then the mountain. "YOU. VISIT. WHY?"
|
||||
Once you all have a chance to reunite, he steps up to your group, raising his arms straight out at his sides. "SORRY.. NEW... FRIENDS..." He is offering a hug as an apology.
|
||||
|
||||
*AFTER HUGGING*
|
||||
He lets you all go and trots off toward the building, looking back to your group and waving one hand for you all to follow.
|
||||
|
||||
Once inside, he takes you through the gym area to a room in the back, and pushes a wood crate full of metal water bottles and ice toward you all.
|
||||
|
||||
He grabs one and holds it over his head, poking a hole with one talon in the bottom like it was nothing, and guzzling the water as it streams out in only a few seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
After he finishes, he clears his throat as best he can and points at your group, then the floor, then the mountain. "YOU. VISIT. WHY?"
|
||||
|
||||
*IF THEY MENTION DM / REGALIA*
|
||||
Tlaloc suddenly stands up and begins laughing excitedly like a small child, in a deep unsettling tone. Everyone slowly puts down their equipment and starts asking what is going on and what has him so giddy.
|
||||
|
||||
*IF THEY ANSWER*
|
||||
All the gum bros start getting excited, chanting and hollering about the chance to see Tlaloc the Immovable in action. Around this time, Jekhyra finally bursts in, having known a few slightly more dangerous shortcuts for going DOWN the mountain, and reuniting the group with anyone that wasn't there yet. She sees the commotion and wants to know what's going on.
|
||||
All the guys working out start getting excited too, chanting and hollering like a group of rowdy frat boys at a party.
|
||||
|
||||
Jekhyra finally shows back up, and rushes into the group, going right for the water bottles. "What's with all the noise, boys?" She opens the bottle and takes a quick drink.
|
||||
|
||||
*IF THEY ANSWER*
|
||||
Jekhyra will widen her eyes, and step up to Tlaloc, temming him to step outside for a minute. He will giddily do so, running through the gym and barely noticing himself running into several freely sitting around weights. When he gets outside the door, he will start doing stretches in preparation.
|
||||
Jekhyra will do a good old fashioned spit take hearing YOU want to fight HIM, coughing hard as Tlaloc suddenly runs out the door, accidentally catching some of the free weights on his scaled tail on the way out.
|
||||
|
||||
Jekhyra will stare at your group in disbelief. "Okay I'm going to assume you are all insane to actually WANT to take on THAT." She will pause as Tlaloc picks up one of the stone benches in each hand, using them like free weights, each rep further exposing the massive muscles hidden under all those thick rock-like spikes. Tlaloc will suddenly turn toward the gate, putting down the benches as a new group of people come into the domain. You watch him waddle toward them like an overweight excited toddler, leaving footprints in the ground with every step of his hyper muscular yet short and stubby legs.
|
||||
Once she stops coughing, Jekhyra will stare at your group in disbelief. "Okay I'm going to assume you are all insane to actually WANT to take on THAT." She will pause to point at Tlaloc, whom is currently doing bicep curls with the stone benches from out front.
|
||||
|
||||
Tlaloc will suddenly turn toward the gate, seeing a new group of people come into the domain. You watch him excitedly run toward them like an excited toddler, leaving footprints in the ground with every step.
|
||||
|
||||
*GIVE THEM A MOMENT TO THINK IT OVER*
|
||||
You hear a loud thud and see that Tlaloc is suddenly on the ground, bellowing out in pain. You see the group of peoples' attention is now turned toward you. And yes, it is very obvious now they are Marauders.
|
||||
You hear a loud thud and see that Tlaloc is suddenly on the ground, bellowing out in pain. You see the group's attention is now turned toward the building. And even from here, you can see one of them is holding a golden sword.
|
||||
|
||||
Every gym bro is suddenly VERY agitated, and you hear about twenty sets of knuckles and necks cracking as they all head for the door. A furious Jekhyra is clearly resisting the urge to go with. "I... want you to go... help 'greet' our new 'guests'... while I go help Tlaloc... think you can help me do that?" Her heckles are raised, her eyes are sharp, and she is practically snarling.
|
||||
Every guy in the gym is VERY agitated, and you hear about twenty sets of knuckles and necks cracking as they all head out the door, led by Jekhyra. Her heckles are raised, her eyes are sharp, and she is practically snarling.
|
||||
|
||||
Outside, the gym bros are actively knocking the snot out of most of the weaker people, but several of them are managing to hold onto their own thanks to some very strange looking golden blades. In the center though, there appears to be a group of leaders just hanging out and watching their men get beaten up three to one. They see your group coming while Jekhyra swings wide to go for Tlaloc and get him away from the battlefield.
|
||||
*OUTSIDE*
|
||||
As you exit the door, you immediately see dozens more Marauders pouring in from the gate, headed toward the people from the gym. And you get to subsequently watch as ten buff people easily lay the smackdown on about forty moderately-armed Marauders, very easily clearing a path for the rest of you to go for the leaders.
|
||||
|
||||
When you reach them, you see Tlaloc lying on his back, bellowing deeply and holding on to his chest wound with both arms. And you see a bull standing over him, one foot on his stomach. "Well lookie who it is!"
|
||||
|
||||
(CONTACTS ROLL) It's the same bull man from the first fight.
|
||||
|
||||
*WHAT DOES HE WANT*
|
||||
"Boss man sent me to take this lummox's Regalia, of course! And I think I'm gonna test it out on you lot!" He hops over Tlaloc and charges at your group with his own small group.
|
||||
|
||||
*AFTER THE FIGHT*
|
||||
|
||||
Every one of the fifty or so Marauders lie in a heap on the ground, very battered and bruised. All the gum bros are hooting and hollering, high fiving and shaking hands with your group, acting like you were one of them all along. A couple of them look like they took some solid hits,, but they just start bandaging themselves up like it was nothing at all. The good times are suddenly interrupted when you hear Tlaloc bellowing from the stone bench behind you.
|
||||
The Marauders are lying defeated in a heap before you, with the bull lying right on top. Behind you, the guys from the gym have ALSO finished, their own heap of Marauders significantly larger.
|
||||
|
||||
He is actually sniffling like a child that just learned he wasn't immortal, Jekhyra tending to a massive gash going down his chest diagonally. There doesn't appear to be any blood thankfully, since even THAT skin is incredibly dense, but there IS traces of gold dust trickling out of the cut. Jekhyra doesn't appear to have any bandages that can stick to the wound, so instead she is just pouring water to clean the gold out of it. Which appears to work, because he starts to calm down right quick after, but still seems woozy.
|
||||
Jekhyra heads over to Tlaloc and slowly helps him up, the big guy sniffling like a toddler that bruised his knee. The good news is he looks okay, the gash across his chest not particularly large, but you DO see some golden powder trickling from the wound.
|
||||
|
||||
"Okay so... goes without saying, no challenge today. Whatever they hit him with, hit him HARD." All the gym bros seem sad to hear their big friend won't get to stomp your shit in, and she continues, "Buuut... give him a couple days for this to heal up and he'll likely be good to go."
|
||||
She walks Tlaloc over to the Marauders' leaders, holding his meaty hand like a mother with her massive child, and Tlaloc suddenly picks the half conscious bull up from the heap. When his eyes meets Tlaloc's, he suddenly becomes VERY scared. "OH FUCK! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!"
|
||||
|
||||
She will help Tlaloc up and support him on her shoulder, slowly walking a few steps with him in tow, before he suddenly falls over onto the ground with a dull thud. He has just fallen asleep again. And this time, Jekhyra is trapped under the wight of his massive arm, which everyone points and laughs at.
|
||||
Tlaloc just gives him a goofy grin and pulls him into a bear hug, holding him tight. "ME! FORGIVE! FRIEND!" You see a wave of relief wash over the Bull's face, which disappears after three seconds as Tlaloc slowly but surely starts tightening his hug. And starts dancing around, slinging him in slow circles all the while.
|
||||
|
||||
Jekhyrs watches beside your group, arms crossed and snickering. "Okay so... goes without saying, no challenge today. He's gonna be uh... 'playing' with his new friend for a while, plus that gash is gonna need time to heal..."
|
||||
|
||||
All the guys from the gym are VERY disappointed to hear that, and make it VERY vocally known. "Buuut... give him a couple days for this to heal up and he'll likely be good to go."
