April 22, 102 P.A.
The party awakes from camping near the water to find that Kreesh is not there. Takeo begins to look for tracks, Runick looks around. Oliver sits by the shore and begins designing a schematic for a mirror that can cast blinding flash as a targeted attack against one opponent. As Oliver sits engaged in his work, tentacles come flailing out of the water and almost grab a hold of him. Oliver manages to scramble to his feet and move away from the water. He calls out to Runick and Takeo, who come over to look. Trevor had flown up and began to scout out ahead. As he was flying toward the woods, a magic net appears above him. Trevor hits his thrusters and speeds out of the way. He returns to the party and tells them he was almost captured by something near the woods. The party approaches cautiously, Out of the wood appear a troop of ten men in light body armor, one of the introduces himself, "I am Izo, Is one of you Trevor? We work for General Hagi. He has sent us to escort Trevor and the suit back to him." Trevor steps forward and asks them if they attacked him. Izo says, "We apologize for that, One of my men was startled by you, we did not expect you to be using the armor. We thought perhaps someone may have stolen it. We were only told that you are of use to the revolution... And that you travel with Takeo, who Hagi also speaks highly of. But I see now... the rest of you... you must be the ones all rumors spreading across the land are about. The ones who defy the Hades demon hoards. Many speculated that Hagi was not to be trusted, but he has proven himself every time. Truly we stand a chance, if Hagi really know Heroes of your caliber. Come we will lead you to him but we must go quickly before demons find us."
The ten men quickly turn and start running though the woods. The party is quickly losing sight of them in the brush, but see them hop on to the backs of horses. Trevor takes off flying after them, the rest run up to see two extra horses. Frank radios Trevor, and tells him he can't ride a horse. Trevor turns back quickly and scoops up Frank. Runick jumps on one of the other horses and grabs Oliver pulling him up on the back of the horse. Takeo jumps on the other horse, but hears someone calling out his name. Takeo looks back and sees Kreesh coming ashore from his night resting in the lake, he quickly rides back to pick up Kreesh. The party members follow one another, Takeo and Kreesh ride past Runick and Oliver. Struggling to keep up they make it to what appears to be an army camp, many more men in armor seem to be awaiting them. They are greeted by Izo once they finally catch up, "Welcome! I feared we may have lost some of you back there. Welcome! This is our forward operations base for the rebellion against the Emperor's Hades demon take over. You guys are more than welcome to eat the food tent is the large one over there. Food here is free, you guys can rest and relax for a bit. Trevor and Takeo you have been summoned by Hagi, you can go speak with him over in the center of camp."
Takeo goes to see Hagi, but Trevor goes with the rest of the party to the food tent. When Takeo gets to the center of camp he sees a couple small wooden buildings. He asks which one Hagi is in, and goes there. At the entrance two men ask Takeo to disarm before entering. Takeo goes up to the second floor and sees ten men sitting at a table with Hagi at one end. He is greeted by Hagi and asked where Trevor is, Hagi asks Takeo to go get Trevor. Takeo begins to speak out and ramble about his journey to get here. Hagi tells Takeo not to be to presumptuous, the they have other pressing matters to discuss and anything else could wait til Trevor was present. Takeo goes to the food tent to find Trevor.
On the way to the food tent, the party wandered into a scroll shop. Frank purchased 2 scrolls of Frost Blade and 2 scrolls of Mystic Alarm; Oliver purchased 8 scrolls of Frost Blade, 3 scrolls of Mystic Alarm, and 3 scrolls of Paralysis Lesser.
Runick had found his way into the weapons shop, of the local blacksmith. Runick asks about bows. The blacksmith tells him, "I don't make bows, but there are plenty of shops around that do." Runick asks about the finest bow maker. He is told, "Most are ok, the best one use to work for the Emperor, he's gone now. But there is this one old drunk people say he use to be a bow maker with the Demon Queller Society.. you know back when they were still around. He probably won't be any good though." Runick finds the old drunk in the bar, introduces himself and buys the drunk a drink. "Wha' did youuu sayz yous name was... Buttnick? OK Buttnick, I'll ssshows you bowss if you buy meees moe drinks." Runick agrees and purchases a few bottles and helps the drunk up and they walk over to his tent (right next to the bar). Inside the tent Runick sees a plethora of tools and couple bows and arrows on display.
Takeo finds Trevor, Oliver, Keesh and Frank in the food tent. They all eat then head to back to the small building whee Hagi was. Takeo and Trevor go in, again they are asked to disarm. Trevor does not want to give up the power armor, but finally agrees to leave it with the men at the door. They go upstairs Hagi greets them and gives Trevor payment for delivering the power armor, "Thank you, Trevor again you have been a great help to me once again. You see even though that suit isn't the most powerful it will act as a symbol for the rebellion. A suit ironically designed to look like that which it was made hunt, those of Ichito want the Shinto people here in the New Empire to fall to the demons. It would save them the trouble of the inevitable war between the them and the New Empire. But I will use this suit to lead the revolution to free the Shinto people and defeat the demon scum. I tried to convince Ichito to help, but they only turn their backs. If you choose to stay there will be plenty more wok for you here, we could use you."
As they speak a man come running in shouting, "They'e here! They're here already!" Hagi jumps up, "Go! Go! Quick! Get the shield up!" The men in the room scramble, Hagi tells Trevor and Takeo, "Help us, please, this is what we were discussing before. I just thought we'd have more time. A hoad of demons has been marching this way for some time, how they got here so fast? I don't know. But we have a plan. We just need time... a small group of mages and mystics are headed to each of the four corners, North, South East, West. They can cast a spell that will put a magic barrier around the camp. We just need you and your team to buy us some time. Please help us, otherwise many innocents will die."
Takeo and Trevor run back to the party. Hearing the commotion outside Runick comes out of the drunk bow makers tent and sees the party and calls them over. Takeo tells everyone what that the camp is under attack and they have to buy the mages as much time as possible. Runick and Takeo both steal a Master Craft (+2stk) Bow from the drunks tent (alignment starting to drop).
Frank reaches out and snatches a hair off of Oliver's head. Oliver rubs his head and asks what that was all about. Frank says he can track people if he has some of their hair, just in case they get separated. They est of the party willing give up hair samples. And the they run off in different directions. Trevor and Kreesh do some crowd control and help get innocent people to safety. Oliver goes East, Frank to the West, Takeo to the North, Runick to the South. They all run up on a battle scene of various warriors fighting off demons. Many off the demons seem to be making it through the human defenses. The Heroes stand and fight the hoards, doing hat ever they can against the large numbers of demons approaching. Takeo cutting down alu demon after alu demon, seems to have little effect on the 22 approaching alu demons. Frank blasting away with his rifle, appears to be but a nuisance to the 22 ghouls approaching later resorting to his super telekinesis. Demons attack the mages casting in both the West and the North
Oliver cast Energy Field around the mages protecting them from the 16 alu demons that made their way past the human warriors. Runick casts Ice Wall multiple times crushing 29 ghouls as they approached on the mages. After 30 seconds, a bright light shoots up into the sky from the South and East. Oliver and Runick both over hear the mages talking about the spell didn't work, someone must have fallen to the demons before the spell was cast. The mages call for a retreat. Everyone starts running in toward town. In the commotion, Izo finds the party members and asks them to escort and protect the caravan heading out to South. All the people are being moved to a safe place. The party head out with the caravan. Runick goes back to get the old drunk bow maker and pack up the old man's stuff and put him on a wagon out.
The party awakes from camping near the water to find that Kreesh is not there. Takeo begins to look for tracks, Runick looks around. Oliver sits by the shore and begins designing a schematic for a mirror that can cast blinding flash as a targeted attack against one opponent.
