Vax smiles, goading the remaining cultist to come at him. As he watches his opponent shift his weight to strike, the ex-soldier's mace flashes out at the cultist's elbow!
Vax slips slightly and the cultist is able to slip out of the way!
Elessa will cast Guidance on Rasym during her turn and other than that, simply attempt to defend herself to the best of her ability.
And Ras tries to take down the cultist, nodding to Elessandra "thanks!
The Cultist faces cold justice from the human paladin. As blade enters the heart, his weight is shifted as Kobold (2) swings at Vax. The Kobold attack at the Cleric misses. The other Kobold (1) attempts to swing at Ras. As the kobold sinks his dagger into the paladin . The dagger slips between the plates of the armor biting into the human. Merri sees all this and plots her next move.
Ouch
Ammon once again throws darts of hellfire at the enemy.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Ras takes his AoO
"A palpable hit, Rasym!"
"thanks!" he grins.
Ras swings his weapon and the head of the Kobold goes bouncing down the road. The remaining Kobold sees this and wets himself. Meri moves in for the finishing kill.
"Is anyone hurt?" Vax asks, looking over his companions.
"Just a scratch" Ras replies
"I think I have one prayer left in me for significant healing, before I tax my god's patience with a lowly servant as myself," the older soldier says with a smirk. "I would rather save it for an emergency, should, gods forbid, one of us fall."
Vax looks about the group, "Anyone else?"
"I am skilled in healing by the natural arts as well, should that service be required. We would need a safe place to rest, though." Elessa scowls at their less than noble surroundings.
"Moving on?" Ras asks, surveying the area carefully.
Vax will keep a lookout for people seeking refuge.
As the group has cleared the way. They make their way back the Keep. As each of you come back. The Govenor greets you. Thank you for your help, now we have away to get others in and out. Please rest for awhile.
Vax looks around at his friends, checking them for wounds. "A rest would be welcome."
Vax looks around at his friends as they rest in the keep. He looks down as he binds some wounds, and generally helps out. Then looking back up, he speaks, "So, what brought you all to this kind of life?"
With her healing skills, Elessa also aids in tending to any wounds.
She nods to her staff with the golden and stained glass symbol of Lathander. "A missionary, so they call me. Let us just say I am here to do the Lord's bidding, wheresoever he bids."
Ammon keeps himself covered while in the keep. He listens to the others talking, but does not join in...yet. He listens to the other's stories first.
Vax smirks, "Fair enough, as for me, I really don't remember much. I woke up on a battlefield, bodies strewn about me on fire. I have dreams, fire erupting about me... screams of the dead. Next thing I remember, soldiers found me and brought me back to camp."
Shaking his head, "I have always felt something more, something amiss... but it led me to Greenest."
He fingers the prayer beads around his wrist absently.
"Oh..." Meri looks at a little mouse cradled in her hands, you're not sure where it came from, "Nothing too interesting. I'm really just in the business for the money. Helping people is an added bonus...", she hands the little critter a piece of her food and looks out the window.
Vax smiles at Little Meri's comment with a bemused look on his face...
"I have to settle an open score. Someone still needs to pay for the evil they did to me. And in the meantime, let's do some good."
"Well said, Rasym! If you can't do something smart, do something good," the ex-soldier says with a hearty laugh!
Elessa mostly remains silent, only whispering soft words of encouragement to Rasym as she helps bandage his wounds.
She occasionally rubs the gold ring on her finger as she listens to the others.
"Thank you Elessa. I feel a bit less cut up now."
As the group heals and takes a knee for bit. Young Escobert comes running and says The Raiders have found a way into the Sally Port, they have the old gate open and are trying to get more in. There is only a small group holding the 10 foot by 20 foot ready room. Can you help us When the group is ready he takes you to the staircase leading to the ready room, the group will have advantage on the Raiders.
"Well," Vax picks himself up and dusts himself off, "Time to go to work, boys and girls!"
Elessa nods and puts away her equipment. She adjusts her armor and takes up the staff and shield once again.
As the group appears to at the end of the stairs. The area is semi lite with torches. There is a Ambush Drake in the hallway behind it are four Kobolds looking the other way. The end of the stairs to the drake is 30 feet. Its attention is on the outside at the moment. Everyone gets a one attack first before I roll Int for everyone!
Ammon, seeing the large lizard with it's attention directed elsewhere, strikes. A crackling beam of blue energy lances from his outstretched hand to strike the beast. The beam does not disappear after striking the monster, but continues to connect the giant lizard with the warlock.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Vaxillis raises his hand, prayer beads wrapped around it, and calls down a sacred flame on top of a kobold!
Ras moves in, attacks, and steps backwards.
Meri looses an arrow on the unsuspecting drake.
