A Cultist (C2) will swing at the screaming man as enters the fray. The Cultist gets in a minor slice on the paladin as he comes charging in.
Ras comes in next, then k2.
Vax tries to hit the Cultist but misses. Ras is able to stab a Kobold killing him. A remaining Kobold tries to stab Eless. The next Cultist runs up and swings at Urran.
Urran smiles wider at the cultists attempts to strike him and takes a contemptuous slice at him.
With the light of Lathander gleaming in her eyes, Elessa takes up her staff and strikes again at the cultist closest to her.
Ammon once again blasts the cultists with his hellfire.
Eldritch Blast:
Damage:
With the cultist dead. The Kobold is planning to run off. Ras has his eye on him. The keep stands in the distance as the last of the raiders are fought.
With this Ras moves forward and attacks the kobold.
crit
Vax looks at the kobold as it panics and turns to run, a grim look on his face. He shakes his head as it runs right into the end of the paladin's quarterstaff, the kobold's head snapping back, dropping it to the ground.
"Your timely assistance is most welcome, my friend. The name is Vax and these are my companions," the old soldier gestures to the others, "We should continue on toward the keep, we'll take solace in the cover it will provide from that wyrm's breath!"
Elessa turns towards those they were escorting. "Come now, friends. Let's continue if we are able. The keep is not that far away. Safety awaits us."
As the group makes it the gate of the Keep. You are let in and there is a sense of safety at the moment. Each of your Civilians make through. The Woman starts to weep and says Thank you brave heroes for rescuing my family. I am forever in your debt. About that time a tall royal man, with a beard approaches you.
You rescued these people from the Raiders? He asks the group. Before anyone can answer Linan Swift speaks up. Governor Nighthill, yes they did. They also managed to kill several raiders as well.
Nighthill strokes his beard and then extends both hands. Heroes be welcomed to Greenest! I would seek your aide on behalf of our town. Will you help us? He says this all the passion he has.
Ras greets Vax warmly, "Greetings, may I introduce myself, Rasým Amcathra, servant of Kelemvor, traveler in this lands. It wasn't really much, what I have done it, at least you did not suffer more." seemingly he is not pleased with his performance.
"Before we move on, as you never know what we may encounter on the road, it seems, that you are wounded, Vax. May I take care of your wounds?"
"May I ask, why they thought you were valuable targets, was it just by chance, or is a deeper evil at play here?"
Ras nods, "for sure, for sure, I will. But I cannot speak for my fellow companions, as I just have met them as they were fighting some foul creatures. What is it, what is plaguing you? And how can we be of hep for your town?" he asks.
Ammon watches the others that have found their way to this place introduce themselves. He addresses the mayor directly.
"I am Ammon. When did these creatures arrive and do you know why they are here? I would like to help, but I am not powerful enough to take on a dragon, or did you have some other task in mind?"
At Ras, "Many thanks," as he breathes in the divine warmth, "Is that the Master of the Crystal Spire's symbol that you carry with you? You'll have to tell me about his tenets someday."
--
"Hah! None of you, er... us are powerful enough to stand against that foul creature! We will do what we can to help you, Governor Nighthill," he turns to his new friends with a smile, "Won't we?"
"Welcome. It seems that the gods are well presented this day." She holds up her symbol of Lathander, letting the multicolored glass sparkle in the light of the keep.
She takes a moment to pray for the fallen, both the civilians of the town, and the cultists and kobolds who might have chosen a better path.
Do not worry governor. These animals will pay for their unprovoked attacks on your people. Hoar sees all slights and measures them for reckoning.
At Elessandra's comment about the gods, Vax absently runs his thumb over his prayer beads.
At Vax, "yes, I am serving the Master! I hope we will have time to sit down and learn from each other."
Twoards Elessandra, "indeed they are. As said, I hope we find a place for rest, maybe at some point during our travels."
With this he helps to lay the dead to rest.
"We will do our best to be of help, as little or much that might be."
Nighthill says Here is our situation. The raiders have isolated the keep from the town with encircling groups of guards, but they haven’t organized an attack on the Keep. I think the raiders don’t intend to
attack the keep; they seem interested only in loot. The real danger is to the town and to those people who didn’t make it into the keep before it was cut off. Since we cannot seem to get out, I have a plan. This plan includes an old tunnel that leads to the Keep. A narrow tunnel runs from the cellar beneath the keep to the bank of the stream . The tunnel is wide enough to allow warriors to pass through it in single file. In the keep, the tunnel is sealed with a locked ironbound
door, and the stream exit is covered with a locked iron grate made to look like a sewer outlet function was as a secret means of collecting water from the stream during a siege, but it can double as a sally port. Since the keep has never been besieged, the old tunnel has never been used. Barrels and crates are piled in front of the door. The keys for the locks are on the ring of my man Escobert. He carries them with him everywhere. I think we should use the tunnel as a means of sneaking townsfolk into the keep without running the gauntlet of attackers watching the gates. My other men are up top fighting off the Dragon. Will you go to the Tunnel in the Celler?
Escobert walks in as Nighthill briefs his assement and plan.
"To save the townspeople, I will offer my assistance!", Ammon says to the Mayor.
Vax nods curtly, "We will eventually need rest, but we will do what we can. Let us head to this cellar."
Ras nods, "sure enough. I guess we should head out."
Elessa also nods in agreement.
"My powers are limited, until I can again commune with Lathander, but I will do what I can to aid the townspeople."
The group is led to the celler and given the key by Escobert. The group takes a minute to open the door and clear the way. There is dust and webs everywhere. As you make your down the tunnel you can hear the stream up ahead about 45 feet. The allows you to march in single file.
Casting light on his mace and holding it like a torch, Vax will take the lead.
Meri readies her bow and allows the paladins to take the row before her.
Ammon will take the place behind Little Meri (5th in the row)
Ras will go behind Vax then.
Elessa also allows the light of Lathander to emit from the multicolored holy symbol. . She takes the last position.
And I will hold the third place. Until I do not. This should be a wonderful surprise for the fiends.
As the holy light of from the mace light's the way. Vax can see the stream up ahead. Between him and the gate is a Two Swarm of Rats. Right now they are not disturbed but any further advance in the cave will disturb them. There is not way around them and the only way is back.
"A whole mess of rats up ahead," the old soldier whispers, "They seem to fill the tunnel... I can try to scatter them, but rather than tip our hand I think we should try to force them back toward us rather than out."
"Fire?" Ras asks, "might help to get rid of them."
I can create firebolts if that would help.", Ammon suggests.
Vax all you can see is the gate. The stream is on the other side of it.
"Everyone that has magic, or can hit an area, be ready in 3... 2... 1..." Vax readies sacred flame.
Ammon lets loose his hellfire on the rats.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Sacred Flame
Ras just prepares himself for any incoming rats.
Vax's Sacred flame shoots over the rats. It hits the wall disturbing them. Meanwhile Eless shot hit the first group. Ammon raises his hand and lets lose hellfire which burns the rats. Vax sees the danger and thens...
Vax continues almost into a stream of prayer, casting sacred flame again.
Elessa raises her hand again, releasing a stream of sacred flame at the rats.
