The Hobbit Rescue

 

Fiesty Lotus looks out the airship impatiently waiting for the portal to appear.

Fiesty waits for the portal to appear

Fitheach Eun joins her sister and waits hopefully.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh, listen to that lackey talk down to my hobbits.”

Fiesty Lotus: “I can hear him from here.”

Fitheach Eun: “He needs to get a comeuppance.”

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes

Saphira Mistwalker nods her head and agrees. "Aye, he does."

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh. There’s the Portal. That's our cue to get down there.”

Fiesty Lotus: “Come on, the guards are trying to stop them from leaving!”

Saphira Mistwalker hisses and runs forward.

Fitheach Eun runs to stop the armored guard.

Fiesty Lotus raises her staff and starts to chant.

Fiesty chants

Saphira Mistwalker takes a deep breath and breathes fire on the nearest guard.

Fitheach Eun raises her staff and calls lightning.

Rorn flies around sending out baby dragon flames at a nearby guard.

Fiesty Lotus raises her staff and send an enormous rock at a guard’s head.

Saphira Mistwalker smiles and nods. "Go get them Rorn!"

A bolt strikes near the guard and Fit calls down a small rainstorm.

A big thug with a club swings at the flying baby dragon.

Talia.Sunsong: "Hey!"

Talia.Sunsong digs in her satchel for her bent magic wand.

Talia digs for her bent wand

Saphira Mistwalker glances over at Talia's shout, and winces, hoping the wand works.

Talia.Sunsong pulls out her wand and points it at the thug. "Bippity Bobbity Doo, turn your shoes to glue!"

Fitheach Eun: The rain forms a large puddle at the guard's feet; softening the ground so he sinks in up to his hips.

The guard sinks up to his hips

The wand sends out a bolt, bouncing off the hard stone nearby and strikes the thug's club. "Huh?" he says as his club dissolves into glue. He angrily shakes his hand to get the glue off.

Talia.Sunsong: "I was aiming for his shoes but that was close enough."

Saphira Mistwalker giggles. "Well, it stopped the club anyway."

Fitheach Eun calls up a whirlwind to siphon off the water; leaving the guard stuck in the hard ground.

Druid Fitheach leaves the guard stuck in hard ground

Saphira Mistwalker smiles and nods her head, as the guard she flamed lies on the ground, moaning his mail melted, his clothes smoldering.

The thug glares at Fae Talia. "You did this you bug! I'll teach you a lesson."

Saphira Mistwalker points a claw at the guard, "You just stay there and don't move. Be glad I only singed you."

Be glad I only singed you

The trapped guard screams but cannot move.

The thug reached towards Talia to grab her. Talia shakes her wand at him and searches her brain for a spell to protect herself.

Fitheach Eun turns to Saphira; “There is another one on the far side.”

Saphira Mistwalker nods and flies over the crowd of hobbits.

Copper Lotus: “Alright fellows - Into the portal you go.”

Rorn darts forward, biting the thug's glue covered hand, and shoves it against a boulder. Rorn breaths out a hot breath, instantly drying the glue, fusing the thug's hand to the boulder.

Fitheach Eun: “I'll Help Talia.” Fitheach turns to help Talia and finds the large guard captive.

"Damn you!" The thug tugs and can't get loose.

Saphira Mistwalker blasts the other guard with fire, mostly aiming low to stop him without hurting him too much.

Talia giggles and dances around, taunting the thug.

Saphira Mistwalker watches as the guard hops around, trying to put out the fire on his boots.

Saphira Mistwalker flies up and then drops down on the guard boots first, driving him to the ground and knocking him senseless.

Fitheach Eun looks around, but all the guards are down.

All the guards are down

Saphira Mistwalker nods and looks around, to see if any guards remain a threat.

Talia.Sunsong sees a pompous looking man near a fancy chair.

Copper Lotus eyes the windbag Sir Useless.

Saphira Mistwalker narrows her eyes and hisses at the overdressed man by the chair.

Fitheach Eun joins the others staring at the overdressed fop.

We stare at the overdressed fop

Copper Lotus: “He has been ranting all the time at the guards to grab the slaves.”

Fitheach Eun:” Oh really?”

Talia.Sunsong smells cooking soup and moves closer to the stew pot.

Talia smells cooking soup

The  fop hides behind the chair.

Saphira Mistwalker flies up and drops behind the man, lest he try to run away.

Fitheach Eun advances closer blocking her side as well

Saphira Mistwalker smiles toothily, "I'm hungry, maybe he will do for lunch?"

The little dragon flies up, then plummets towards the pompous man.

Rorn buzzes the top of the bully's head.

Talia.Sunsong "This stew smells good, but it would look better decorating that windbag!"

Copper Lotus: "Come on Hobbits, let's teach this bully some manners!"

Talia.Sunsong points towards the stew pot.

Myrtle looks at the slave near her and they nod.

Slave: “Let's see how he likes our meals instead of his fine ones.” They both grab the stew while two others hold the screaming lackey

The slaves grab the stew

Slave 2: “Here, Sir Useless, try some of this.”

With a mighty heave they pour the stew over his head and leave the pot there

Fitheach Eun watches, laughing.

Talia.Sunsong: "Yay Hobbits!"

Saphira Mistwalker backs up giggling as the stew splashes everywhere.

Copper Lotus: Now what should we do with the useless fella?

Rorn laps up some of the spilled stew.

Fitheach Eun: “A Fitting use for that slop; you will soon have better food.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “Hmm, slop, maybe the pigs would like it and him?”

Copper Lotus: “That be a good idea.”

Fitheach Eun: “Pigs will eat almost anything....”

Copper Lotus: “I'll help with that.”

The four slaves heave the lackey over to the pigsty. You can hear muffled screaming from under the pot.

The slaves heave the lackey over the pigst.

With a last heave they deposit the immobilized lackey into the pigsty.

Talia.Sunsong: cheers "Hip Hip Hooray!"

Hip Hip Hooray!

Copper Lotus: “Take that and tell your king we are gone from here.”

Rorn settles himself down on the comfy chair the lackey had used.

Rorn settles himself.

Fiesty Lotus: “Alright everyone - go on through the portal It's safe on the other side.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Hobbits be free!"

Time to go home everyone.

Fitheach Eun: “Yes, time to go home everyone.”

 

Savage Reconnects

 Back to the Crystal Guardians. 

Saphira Mistwalker looks up, worried at the sounds coming from above.

Saphira looks up.

Fitheach Eun leans on her staff panting after the fight

Fiesty Lotus: “So, where did Savage go?”

Fitheach Eun: “And Talia and Rorn?”

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes. Maybe up that-away?”

Fitheach Eun: “Perhaps we should go see what all that noise was about?”

Saphira Mistwalker: “I think we better, it sounds like trouble.”

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes, it seems kinda loud.”

Fitheach Eun sighs and readies her staff again.

Saphira Mistwalker rises into the air and carefully moves closer.

Saphira carefully moves closer.

Savage Taurus soars around the ruins, feeling triumphant in his victory over the crystal elementals.

Saphira Mistwalker gasps, seeing a dragon hovering over the ruins.

Savage Taurus knows his son is safe and in the arms of the fae again.

Fiesty Lotus pants up the steep incline.

Fitheach Eun struggles tiredly up behind her.

Saphira Mistwalker shouts out in draconic, "Svaust re wux? (Who are you?)"

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh Me Goddess! Lookie there!”

Fitheach Eun dodges the bats and looks up.

Fitheach Eun: Savage?

Saphira Mistwalker looks closely at the other dragon and sniffs the air. "Savage! Svadrav tira wux xkhat vi darastrix tenamalo? (Savage! When did you become a dragon again?)"

Fiesty Lotus: “Lady Saphira, who is that?”

Savage Taurus hears a familiar voice and looks down to see his friends climbing the mountain, tries to respond but finds that he can't speak the dialect of elvish they usually use.

Saphira Mistwalker: “I think it is Savage!”

Fitheach Eun: “I think so, too. How did he transform?”

Savage Taurus speaks, it only comes out as a croaking roar.

Saphira Mistwalker tilts her head. "What happened here?"

Fiesty Lotus: watches in awe.

Savage Taurus tries to speak in draconic and manages to croak out a few simple words.

Savage tries to speak.

Fitheach Eun sees splinters of crystal lying about but nothing else.

Savage Taurus: “Rorn tokeq jaka {Rorn safe now}.”

Fitheach Eun: “Saph, my draconic is not up to that, what is he saying?”

Saphira Mistwalker looks at all the crystal scattered around. "He says Rorn is safe. They must have defeated the elementals."

Saphira Mistwalker hisses out, "Savage, re wux kepatmasto? (Savage, are you all right?)"

Fiesty Lotus looks to Lady Saphira to translate. “Well, you be a sight Savage. What you gonna do now?”

Savage Taurus feels exhilarated to be able to fly and to be in dragon form again, feels power coursing through him.

Fitheach Eun peers back down the hill and sees Talia and Rorn safely down by the mine entrance.

Saphira Mistwalker shakes her head. "He seems to be having trouble speaking Common, but he certainly looks happy."

Savage looks happy.

Fitheach Eun looks up at the flying Dragon and smiles.

Fitheach Eun: He must be happy to have his wings again.

Saphira Mistwalker giggles and feels blood rise to her face. "He seems quite ...  frisky."

Suddenly Savage is suddenly very hungry and sheers off after some cattle far away.

The druids and Saphira smile and turn to descend the mountain.
