Year 4 Siege of Babylon...

.... we will..... we will.... Rock You!....

 

And so it ended, the year 4 siege of Babylon, at least temporarily. Alexander rode Shai Haelud to the growing desert barrier, The collosal beast, ancient native to this world, slithered through the sand at an amazing pace kicking up winds in Alexander's hair (and the spear maiden which refused to leave his side). As the beast approached the barrier,  it rose up with an Earth trembling roar, its great maw open, and paused. Alexander and the maiden lept from its great height as the creature, in Alexander's ears, gave thanks at its release into the deep desert waste.

 

By their return to the shattered Babylonian Walls, the bodies of the dead and wounded were already being moved. It was a sudden switch - from the angry combat supported by the powerful and emotional chants of the townsfolk and the bards, to this strange silence.

 

No one said a word. At first, the party wondered if they were caught in one of the silence miracles invoked by the church so as not to draw the ire of the worm, but no, this was something different. They watched as this babylonian tradition played out. In silence the wounded were moved to the healers tents outside the church in the central square. the dead were taken there too. Both hachdeshani and human alike, friend and foe. Cots lined the streets. Quietly, the warriors that could tended to their wounds and others gathered at the healing tents outside the church. Knights stationed at the Grain Houses opened their gates and the only real sounds were those of the younger folk relased from their keeping. The brothels too, which had been noisy and bosterous while the battles were ongoing, had quieted, its townsfolk gone and already gathering around the square.  Balconies, rooftops and windows within site distance of the square became silently populated. Only the mages, who were strategically placing dimensional anchors along the outside of the expanding tare to guide it and prevent it from crossing a wall remained active and still they tended their buisiness quietly. Warriors, archers, paladins, clerics and their supporters eventualy gathered outsie the square where many townsfolk had gathered - still leaving some wide empty swaths.  From the four corners of the yard, the bards began to strum as a priestess lights a pyre in the central square. Even at a distance you recognize her - Beatrice, the one day Bishop of Seled-din. All remain quiet as her lilting voice begins to sing... "We remember... we remember....we remember ... Babylon..." <download this link>

 

Softly, the warriors, the archers, even the dwarves kneel or sit and join in. Its not a magical ritual. Its not a focused spell, just a real expression of the saddness that follows battles and giving honor to fallen comrads. As the song continues, Una, holding the Rod of Life and Death as it has become known, walks among the fallen. She kneels before one, a captain. Speaks to him softly, asking the dead man if he would return or remain with his fallen brothers and sisters to fight in Ishtar's Pride. She moves on to another, looks with fondness at him and closes his eyes. Some she blesses, to some others she gives the lasts rights and says a peace. 

 

 The song continues quieter as she takes to the great church balcony overlooking the square.

 

"Greetings Babylonians!"

-- with a great shout greetings are returned.

"I said GREETINGS Babylonians"

- with an even louder shout and in a few more languages her greetings are returned.

"Good battle Babylonians!"

- that creates an uproar and was apparently what the crowd was waiting for as hoots and hollers and cheers come form the armies, soldiers on rooftops, and the masses which have gathered on the streets beyond the square.

"Today was a good battle. A good day to die and an even better day to be victorious."

- more hoots and hollers...

 

"We will continue in the new ways." Una continues, "we shall commence the assembly of the Prides." 

 

"Great Mother," Giddeon bellows from below, "We have in our midst great heroes. Allies. The Silver centuries. Who have fought with two of our prides this day and achieved great victories. We ask that they be adopted into our pride and honored as defenders of babylon".

 

Una nods her head, "So shall it be. Those who fight with us are one of us. brothers and sisters in arms. Come forth Silver centuries and stand with your Pride!"    She looks on as the silver centuries appear and cheers rise up. Hoots in hachdeshani of "shai halud gadeen", and hollers in elvish of "correllion's arrow" can be heard alongside "jie' tacqua" (hucharachi for 'a wave of his hand is destruction'), and "twins of life and love" in Flan. As you are led to your pride, Fatima, a cleric, quickly presents you with honor garb.

Pech made Babylonian Dress Clothes
Clothes befitting a lord or a prince, with an ornateley black and gold embrodered collared white shirt, long coat, dark breeches, and flaired boots.  They give a +2 competence bonus to diplomacy/reaction and a +2 competence bonus to Apperance (charisma for appearance based skills). They take up a cloak, clothing, belt, and boot slots (respecitvely). And each will take on the powers of another cloak, belt, boots, or clothing, respectively, that is owned by the wearer on this or another plane (but not accross dimensions). (which items they draw upon may be changed as a full round action). They are self cleaning and self mending.

 

Still suit trim - a black cape with gold and blue flecked embroidery or similar material as trevors clothing, and still suit straps, buckles, buttons, fittings, ties and even mouthpiece in matching style. These fitting, when worn with a still suit will give +2 compentence bonus to desert survival and appearance.  These fittings reduce to half the amount of time nescessary to put on or remove a still suit.and a +2 situational bonus to diplomacy when speaking to desert folk. The cloak also gives +4 to hide in desert terrain.

 

Alexia, Tasha, and the Apprentice all recieve clothing made of the same materials as trevor (can adopt the powers of similar owned garb) the style of which is again fit for a lord or lady but more specific to their tastes with a babylonian flavor.

 

"As with the New Way," Una continues, "Fists and Faith determines the order of the Prides; the strongest first. Have the Prides determined their order of progression?"

 

Giddeon speaks loudly, "This day mother, battle with the enemy has determined our strongest. We are agreed."

The field commanders nod towards the very same pride the silver centuries have chosen.

 

Una: "Then Assemble the Prides!"

 

Down in the square, drums roll and the crowd quiets. Your Pride is the frst to move into the square and takes the most central possition. Depending on your choice of Pride, you walk behind Giddeon or Hashamash and his trophy bearer carrying their symbol - riders carrying a ship's sail (Giddeon) or the sun rising over the walls of babylon (Hashamash) As the silver centuries and your field commander take the field , cheers rise up. At least 100 of the pride march with you into the central most open spot on the central square.  Giddeon or Hashamash is the first to call forth: "Giddeon's Pride/Wall's Pride Assembled Mother" <hoots and hollers, cheers arise, the drums go nuts>

 

More Drums as the field commanders of five other Prides each lead their respective peoples into the central square taking spaces each less central than the one before. The second Pride is that of a hucharachi field commander: "Pren's Pride Assembled". An ishtarian Paladin: "Gal's Pride Assembled Mother". Two others reply as well. After each, cheers. By now, many of the elves of the celene have taken distant vantage spots and their strange elvish lutes lend excitement to the air. The balconies as far as the eye can see are packed with onlookers.

 

Looking down to you, Una gestures "This Day, you are the first Pride of Babylon. You have fought with bravery, honor, and valor and you have been victorious in an epic battle!" <cheers> "Over 1000 children are saved because of you. The tree, protection for an entire world and the salvation of the desert, saved. Our very walls, though they have taken their beatings, stand firm because your strength and valor supports them".

 

 

"Silver Centuries. You have demonstrated great bravery on the battlefield, taking on the most dangerous attacks without wavering, to you each is given the Babylonian Medal of Bravery.

Babylonian Medal of Bravery.
+2 reputation bonus to all saves (stacks with everything except other reputation bonuses), gives bearer +4 reputation bonus to reaction/diplomacy in Babylon, and gives +1d8 hit points and +2 reputation bonus to saves vs fear to any allies within 30ft). This must be worn prominently to gain bonuses.

 

"Riddeon Thorn, Stand Forth." Una tosses down a banner.  "For your heroic efforts we give you this Banner of Heroes."

Riddeon Thorn's Banner of Heroes, As a full round action as part of a diplomacy check, while the bearer says "I am Riddeon Thorn",  the banner may be planted in the ground. Once triggered all creatures in an 10/lvl radius knows most of the details of one of the bearers heroic battles or deeds. The deed/battle depicted varies with each target but are generally those that are most likely to influence in a friendly or fearfull manner. Grants on +8 diplomacy or intimidation and for the next ten rounds gives a +2 (allies) or -2 morale bonus (enemies) to hit and saves for all creatures. [Mind Affecting] Save: None SR:Yes. The banner effects may be used only once against an opponent.

 

"Trevor Rasputin, Stand Forth. For your aid in the gardens, The Ishtarian Druids present you with these new shods for your Lord's Staff. Crafted long ago when the Druids trained with Ishtar by High Lord Mhorams side."

Lord Staff Iron Shods.  Has lapis lazuli crest and gold inlay: extends the metamagic abilities of your Lords Staff to all druid spells.

 

"Alexia Krestor. Stand Forth." Amongst the cheers are a few whistles which may or may not draw Alexander's attention. "For your display in battle of a style not seen before, but one that is truly blessed of the goddess, Babylon gives you the Medal of Grace

Medal of Grace: +4 unnamed bonus to dexterity related skill checks and contests, Character is always treated as 30ft closer to an ally for the purposes of their spells - touch spells can be cast at 30ft and a 10ft radius of protection cast by an ally will aid her if she is within 40ft.

 

"Apprentice, Son of Kothlun the Great, Stand Forth. For your prowess with spell on the battlefield, Babylon gives you the Medal of Spell Might and this wand of wonder."

Medal of Spell Might 
Grants +2 to DC of all spells and a +4 unnamed bonus on spellcraft checks. Wand has 47 charges. "Your father has done us great honor with his gift of 1 million gold pieces, his people's aid, and his great work of art in our church. We have heard that you are gifted with his skills. For the last two years we have collected research and supplies for art magic. Perhaps after you visit his studios, you might consider gifting us with a painting or two." She smilles. 'hear hear' eachoes you in the crowd.

 

"Tasha Rasputin, Stand Forth. For your cunning in battle, Babyon gives you the Medal of Cunning."

 Medal of Cunning:
+4 unnamed bonus to bluff checks. Whenever a bluff check succeeds, the bearer gains +1 temporary hit points (lasts until used or one day).

 

"Alexander Krestor. Stand forth."   The crowd chants, 'shai halud gadeen, shai halud gadeen, shai halud gadeen...', while Una continues, " You have demonstrated great heroism on the battlefield, consistently charging and defeating the greatest of enemies, to you is given the Babylonian Medal of Valor and this Rod of Lordly Might of the Desert recovered from the Battlefield".

Medal of Valor.
+7 reputation bonus to diplomacy/reaction rolls in Babylon (+2 elsewhere due to the quality of the medal) and +4 unnamed on attack rolls, damage, and combat checks vs collosal creatures.

 

"And to you all, so you know you have the Welcome of Babylon - that your heroism is respected and your goodness loved, may you enjoy one night at the Brothels and 100 in credit at the Tables." The number of hollers and cat calls ad snide jokes cracks most of the crowd up. It is a moment before the solemness due the ceremony is restored.

 

Three others from this Pride, including the Spear Maiden that traveled with you to face the wyrm, recieve medals of bravery as well. And interestingly, the spear maiden is given a new spear to help her "meet her 'toh ".

 

 

"Now, as in the New Way", Una continues, "Pride, present your spoils and let them be enumerated". The crowd parts as to let many men carry tarps heaped full of weapons and treasure move before you and the prides commander. A dwarf wearing the prides symbol joins them with a tablet and a large set of scales and begins to enumerate the total value of the spoils throwing every forth weapon onto a central pyre. Cat calls from pride members are thrown at eachother making jokes and references to the battle and this item or that item while Una casts Spoils of the Victor (increasing the total value by 10%) and Spoils of War.

 

 "As is the new way, let those among your pride take their spoils, the first to the most victorious with preference to kills, or take their share of the spoils in their value in Kank nectar." Many cheers. The spoils are then taken to that Pride's  "den" for later apportionment (see treasure list). Spoils of War include (each silver century gets): 3 small scorpion claws:  +2 to hit, AC, and damage, vs scorpions lasts 1 rnd/lvl, may be added after roll, usable once each. 2 hachdeshani scalps, inhibits 1 anti magic spell (6th lvl) or 1 psionic anti magic (for 1 rnd/lvl) each and one Defiler tooth - grants +2 on attack rolls when defending any city, and a +4 save after the roll vs colorless fire once (consumes token).

 

"Do you have names?" Una looks to your field commander and he gives two names.

 

She raises the rod, known as Life & Death high twice. Each time, all maner of white and orange light flows from the rod into a corpse below and soon it is made whole - albeit wounded. Other preistesses quickly drag him to the healing tents.

 

This same ritual of recognition is repeated for each of the five Babylonian Prides. All in all 4 are raised from the dead- a hachdeshani footman, a high hucharachi officer, a paladin and a mage - always with a tilt of a head from a paladin or in one case a hucharachi.

 

 The ceremony ends with a round led by the bards of "We are the Champions, my friends, and I...." which gives way to dancing - much of it suggestively close and a bit risque (certainly flirtatious and likely a prelude to sex for many). Interestingly, after Una tends to some of Giddeon's wounds, they dance quite closely, catchting the surprise of many Babylonians (and the whispered hush of rumours). Towards the end, some hucharachi women emerge from the church and recieve embassy from a few of the hucharachi men. Even from a distance,  you can tell by their body language that they apparently have run of the church and even are a bit bossy with the clergy

 

When you are done, Fatima leads Alexander, Trevor, and Tasha back towards the grain houses. They are behind the courts, deep within the walls of Tarans complex, protected behind their own walls and their own separate porticulis. "I want to show you something. Show you what you have been fighting for". You are led to a very large conceled basement room. Its obvious many commonsfolk were here recently, judging by the things left behind likely most were children. A few children remain behind with a paladin, a lion, and three lion cubs as he straightens up. You are introduced to a few children. The twins are introduced to their 2 yr old sister. Curled against her in her seat is a pseudo dragon with butterfly wings. She talks in baby talk that is half words and half animal speak. She smiles when she ineracts with you and a faerie fire of cool blue souround you and her as you lift her up and hold her. She is dressed in minature golden +4 platemail (grows with her) and at her side is a minature +5 defender that is peace tied. She wears a Holy Symbol of Ishtar too that radiates of healing magic. You also meet the 2 year old Nebuchadnezar (Taran's son) who is being tickled mercilessly by his 4 yr old sister, Charrisa (rahasias daughter) while her three lion cubs play fetch with another child -introduced as the Bloodguard Faith's little one. "These are the real treasures of Babylon. These and the many others that the church has taken in or have been born in Babylon these last few years. We are greatfull"

 

Youre given some time to spend with the children if you like. Here or in the playroom at Sultan's school..

 

At your convenience you can do as you like and speak with those you will. Toman, a former card dealer at the casino and now indentured servant is appointed by Giddeon as your city guide and has offered to avail himself as a cleric, manservant, and delivery boy for the silver centuries. The Apprentice will be given a tour of Kothlun's studio by Priestess Adelle (lets handle by email Mike) and there are a few whom already want to talk to you: Chief Census Taker and Master of Trade and Tarrifs, Amon Kishati, is requesting an audience as is a representative of the adventurer's guild. Pren, the highest ranking within Hucharachi circles, wants to speak alone with the Apprentice and invite the Apprentice to join his Pride.
