It was eventually decided that they would try Andras’s idea to hammer pitons into the wall and try and use a system of pulleys to get the caravan up the hill. However they needed one of the more capable adventurer to climb up there, as the current footing was too treacherous and Syfr himself wasn’t strong enough to hammer the pitons into the walls. So it was up to Buddy, one of the more physically powerful to try and climb, though he also looked at you. As if he was wordlessly suggesting you too could do this, if you so choose. Meanwhile Elena points out there were storm clouds coming and that they should hurry, less they get caught in the rain.

Some people need to make a hard choice when deciding which two karaoke streams they want to listen to. I have no such weakness: I have two ears for a reason.

The hard part about trying to play some politically savvy mastermind is the assumption that the world operates off real world politics and not your DM’s politics.

Don't put too much stock in prophesies. At best they're full of shit, but more often than not they're one of those self-fullilling kinds. Plan for what happens afterwards instead.

A character isn't deep or compelling just because you let them get hurt a lot, are always depressed, or do morally questionable things.

Bio
If you're here either you're wondering what I'm doing cause I need to post in your RP (In which case, calm yo tits, I'll get around to it), or you want to know who I am. So let's begin.
I'm a college age asian kid who has more heart than he has senses. I'm still working out this whole "adulthood" thing, so until then I just do what I feel I must. As far as personality and traits go, I'm not one for boasting. So if there's anything redeeming about myself you'd have to figure it out in person or by word-of-mouth. Generally however I'm rather perverted, in the best and worst ways. nothing is too much until I've crossed the line, and that just means I've started.
As far as Roleplays I like, I have a thing for fantasy, though I'm also good for some types of sci-fi, supernatural, Modern, and slice-of-life. If it's open and sandbox, I'll probably join it. Never really been a romantic, I often chose to sexualize any notion of romantic encounters I come across. I generally write at Casual quality, though I have no issues with Free-Level Rp/Players and I can hold my own in Advance.

“Of course. Just sit tight and we’ll handle the rest of the way.” The rest of the way was a rather bumpy, somewhat uncomfortable ride. The wagon didn’t exactly have any cushions but fortunately it was free of dangers, sans steep and muddy inclines. The party would travel for roughly two hours before they reach a major obstacle; it seemed like a landslide had tore up a steep incline up the mountain, creating large divots and holes in the ground that would make it impassable for the carts and wagons. For this the vehicles stopped as Ferric and Andras tried to figure out how to get up.
“Suppose if we use some tools, we could try and fill the holes, make them easy enough for the mules to climb up.” Ferric offered.
“With this terrain and this incline that just means more a risk of our wheels sliding back down hill. We should try and secure pitons and ropes to the side, climb up while pulling our vehicles.”
Shortfang confirmed no hostile in the area, though he’ll keep Syfr on the look out if anything comes back. Pylia and Buddy stood by the carts watching and waiting for what would be done.

With the harpies dead the party returns to the caravan. It was fortunately unharmed, though Ferric and Andras had their crossbows at the ready. Seeing you four come back out their mind at ease however. Soon you were trudging along once more as Pylia chews on a goodberry and applies some herb balm to your wounds. It had a strong odor and stung when it touched your wounds, but Pylia assures you that the medicine is suppose to feel like that. Sure enough after she bandages the cuts the stinging feeling becomes a cooler, less painful one.
“How are you feeling? Do you need another?”
“How are you feeling? Do you need another?”
Shortly after the harpy tried to eviscerating you, you gave the bird a one-two blow that slew it. The staff strike alone broke the harpy’s neck, but the follow up kick ensured no recovery as you punted it’s corpse off the side of the mountain. With the last of the harpies dead the path was clear. Shortfang and Syfr did a quick look around but aside from some more dead goblins and their rusty equipment, there wasn’t anything of particular value at this tree. Though they did manage to recover about seven old silver coins so worn down you couldn’t see their minting anymore.
“These things are practically worth less than their weight in silver now that you can’t even tell if they’re kingdom coins or not.” Pylia helpfully pointed out.”Glad we managed to get out of there no worse for wear, though that cut looks bad Sylvia. I have some herb balm, let me use it on you when we get back to the wagon.” After Buddy retrieved the harpoon he joined with you and the others ready to leave. They’d follow your lead for now, though Shortfang would stay here to keep an eye out and continue scouting.

You run alongside Buddy who seemed all too eager to run to his doom chasing the harpy. As you turned to order him to stop it looked like he was just going to charge right through you until his eyes began to flicker. They slowly changed from yellow to green, and Buddy seemed to flinch as if he had just been surprised. His eyes continued to flicker as if blinking, confused but at least his mind was back. It seemed like your words had some effect.
Meanwhile Pylia and Shortfang knew that the harpy was still a threat even after her song failed. They charged forward and began to fling as much firepower as they could. Shortfang fired his crossbow into the wing of the harpy, loading one more bolt before immediately shooting it as soon as he pulled back on the crank, sending the second bolt into the same wound as the previous one. Pylia summoned fire through her club and batted it towards the bird beast, burning feathers and flesh, causing a lot of pain. The harpy itself, furious that her song failed, blinded by anger, charged right at you. However you were prepared. Despite her furious attacks none of her talons could even scratch your clothes as you dodged and parried her blows with ease. Now she was weakened, and this battle was coming close to an end!

Buddy looks at the harpy that flew away, knowing that he lacked the means to attack it from his position. He only had his axe and no other thrown weapons, so he simply waited for the harpy to try and come back so he could hack it down. Shortfang ordered Syfr to fly in and try and harry the harpy, however with the tree partially covering the monster, Shortfang's arrow inadvertently struck a bird's nest, sending a few eggs tumbling to the ground. "Whoops." Pylia seemed to be the only one listening to you, so she readied herself to try and grab Shortfang if he ends up getting enthralled by the harpy.
Then the harpy began to sing. Her song was sweet and ethereal, like an orchestra that made you want to just stay a while and listen. However knowing what to expect you covered your hears. You could still feel the magic in the monster's song, however you steeled your mind and was easily able to ignore it. However it seemed like someone else in your party couldn't. Buddy's eyes went from green to yellow as he lowered his guard and took a step towards the harpy. You immediately reach out to grab him, however it was easily apparent that you could not physically restrain a juggernaut like Buddy all by yourself. Pylia and Shortfang were fortunately able to resist, but they saw what happened to Buddy. "Dammit! Buddy got charmed!" The Siren continued to sing her ethereal song, trying to lure Buddy off the cliff and to his doom, as well as staying out of melee reach of the rest of the party. If she could kill at least one adventurer, she could feel satisfied with her revenge!

Cool, please make me a Wisdom Save with Advantage since you're trying to block out the sound, and also an athletics check to restrain Buddy as he starts walking towards the Siren.
Your staff lands a solid, bone breaking blow against the harpy, sending it tumbling to the ground. Or it would've, were it not for your quick feet that plant a solid and equally bone shattering kick into the sternum of the harpy, causing it to crash into the rock wall behind it so hard the harpy was embedded in a small crater in the wall. Sufficient to say, it was as good as dead. Buddy locked eyes on the harpy that had been solely fighting you, moving around to attack it with his urgrosh. Aside from Pylia's holy word, it wasn't too injured. Buddy planned to change that. His axe dug right into the chest of the bird, splitting flesh from bone like a butcher carving up a bird. Shortly after cleaving through it's body, Buddy reversed his weapon and impaled it through the leg, holding it in place as Shortfang fired a crossbow into it's chest, narrowly missing it's heart. The harpy pulled itself off Buddy's weapon, only for Syfr to fly right into it's face as swing at her eyes, causing her to focus her defenses against him. Naturally this was just a feint and a distraction, allowing Pylia to leap off the rock, into the air, and pulverize the harpy's skull with her warclub, reducing it to a bloody stain. "Three down! One more to go!"
Indeed, what was an equal four-on-four battle was not a four-on-one, and while the girls were fairly bloodied, the harpy knew it couldn't defend itself against an onslaught of four adventurers. However it wasn't about to abandon the battle either, not after what happened to her sisters. She screeched in fury and flew out of melee. Pylia tried to take a swing but her bad footing caused her club to whiff. Your footing was just fine however, and you manage to smash your staff against the bird's foot, causing her to wince in pain. Even Syfr managed to get a claw in as the harpy flew past him. However while she flew far from the four, she didn't leave them alone as you could hear a strange noise coming from her. It sounded like... Singing. Pylia knew what was about to happen.
"Beware the Harpy's song!"

Good stuff. Quick thing, one of the harpies move out of your reach. It doesn't seem like it's retreating, but it's planning something. Would you like to take an attack of opportunity?
Your staff managed to strike the harpy's leg, but just as you went for the kick she flew upwards, causing your kick to hit empty air. As you were fighting, Buddy charged right into the thick of things, striking the harpy next to Pylia. His blade cut deep into the bird's hind leg, causing some notable bleeding. But he wasn't finished yet; just as he finished his slash his body turned with surprising speed for a robot his girth, allowing him to stab the smaller spear end of his urgrosh into the stomach of the bird, who screamed in pain. "Focus on that one!" Shortfang shouted out as Syfr flew in to harry the harpy. He flew with great agility, easily able to avoid the harpy's attacks as well as Shortfang's crossbow bolt as it sailed right into the Harpy's wing. Syfr continued to distract the harpy, allowing anyone else a chance to exploit it's distraction and perhaps land a critical blow onto it.
With all of these birds clustered together Pylia had a plan. Though the rocks near here would make it harder for her to maintain her footing, she quickly climbed onto it as she touched her holy symbol. ^SMITE!^ She roared as light radiated from her holy symbol to blind and burn the harpies around her with radiant energy. It wasn't as much damage as say, a crossbow or axe, but the fact it could hit all of them was something worth doing in this thick melee. However this didn't go unnoticed by the harpies.
Though one got hacked up badly by Buddy and Shortfang, it knew it couldn't do much against the robot's armor. However Pylia was much squishier, or so it thinks, and so it tag teamed with it's sister to attack Pylia in a flurry of claws. She ducked under her shield to ward off the blows, however her footing caused her to drop her guard and allow a harpy to claw her forehead. Meanwhile the one you fought hadn't given up trying to kill you, swooping low to sink it's talons into your leg. Fortunately your boots managed to prevent an actual cut, however the harpy still did some considerable crushing damage. She tried to follow it up with another claw kick, however you wisely managed to avoid getting slashed thanks to your quick reflexes and your strong stance.
