Nature Cries Out - Trader's Cusp
General Summary
Responding to the call Azim put out asking for help with burning fields, Meako, Prim and Nightfall met at Azim's castle and found him loading up a water wagon. Thanking them for their assistance, they headed out to the closest farm first, smoke signaling in the horizon an ominious warning of the dangers to come.
As the party approached closer, the sun blotted out by the smoke in the air, they came across the fields, inhabited by magma elementals, fields burning as they strolled across them. Azim attempted to talk to them about the fields, but they mocked him, vomited up molten magma at their feet. Enraged, Prim attacked starting the conflict. Azim charged in, but after a quick spell from the fae, Prim quenched the magma elementals, leaving nothing but crumbling stone in their wake. A quick clean up of the fields later, the party was able to salvage most of the farm, and after a bit of healing, moved onto the next farm.
As the party approached, they noticed some very large creatures throwing flaming stones. Getting closer, they see that the rocks were going into a nearby farm, thrown by a pair of fire giants and they were having a laugh as it burned. This time, skipping attempted negociations, the party charged right in. With Nightfall encasing one in ice, it freed the party to focus fire one of the giants to an early grave, before turning on the other. It attempted to break free of the ice, but once it did, the party was ready for it and an all out attack ensued, and ensured their victory. Meako quickly took out the flames, before they regrouped and went to the last fire.
It wasn't far, and the party was easily able to determine the cause of this one, a fire Oni who was using his abilities to slaughter the inhabitants and burn the fields. The party quickly engaged him, but he managed to keep Prim distracted after lighting trees behind him on fire. As she attempted to extinguish the flames in hopes they would not spread, he engaged with Nightfall, Meako and Azim. The oni got some good cuts in on Azim and Nightfall, forcing them on the defensive before turning his attention to the archer, Meako. He make a declaration, he would kill Meako unless they retreated. Calling his bluff, Azim cut him down. With the Oni destroyed, the party quickly assisted with putting out the remaining fires. All finished, the party working on some of their martial skills with a sparring match with Azim before heading home, each to their own.
