OVERVIEW OF DREZEN

"As you can see, we have beaten and destroyed all opposition outside the curtain walls of the Citadel itself.
"Company A is anchored at Paradise hill, where the extensive defensive works make it currently impregnable on the East side.
"Company C, after your victory in the Cemetary, has Crossed the Ahari to the West and is currenly encamped on the plains to the Northwest.
"Company B is currenly camped just outside, here."
She said pointing. "Just to the south of the main bridge spanning the Ahari riverbed and pointing straight to the gates of the Citadel."
She paused.
"We need that bridge, and we need it intact if we are to avoid ruinous casualties in taking back the Citadel of Drezen.
"Our problem is that there are guards in protected revetments on the bridge itself.
"Worse, there are evil looking herdbeasts chained to the undersupports of the bridge, and our scouts are certain the undersupports have been weakened also.
"So. One startling bang, one arrow to the rump, or any spell that panics the beasts, and off they go dragging the supports with them. Down goes the bridge.
"We can't just rush the bridge; they'll just collapse it.
"What we need is a small unit, stealthy enough to get in close, intelligent enough to figure out how to disable this trap, and powerful enough to deal with enemy forces present."

She stood back and looked at you.
"My lords and ladies, I believe you are called to duty here."
She sniffed, frowning.
"That is, after you have cleaned up and rested. Tomorrow is better I think; they won't be running off anytime soon."

"נו, איר וויסן ווי צו מאָטיווירן אַ גוף." Grey mutters to himself as he straitens, abandoning any further pretense of childhood. "Easy on the lord bit if ye dun't mind. Far as I'm concerned I'm a conscript."
"Gewoon niet ingelijfd door u partij."
He adds, squinting just over the map table.

Hallit:
"Well, you do know how to motivate a body."

Halfling:
"Just not conscripted by you lot."

Taedric nods in greeting to each of the officers, offering a gentle, "Well met.", then turns his attention to Irabeth's status upgrade. At the end, he whistles, "I don't know that I can claim to be stealthy, but, quick and careful, at least."

He studies the map again, then says, "I wonder if we could feint something out on a flank -- not close enough to the target that they'd blow the bridge, and maybe just loud enough to turn everyone's attention away from the path we're taking."

"Are the beasts attached to the bridge by chain? If its a metal chain I have a spell that would make the chain links brittle. If they stampeded the chains would snap leaving the bridge intact."

He paused and frowned shaking his head for a second.

"I would need to get within 50 feet however to affect the chains, which would no doubt require magic I dont have access to."

"Creating a wall of solid iron is definitely beyond anything I'm capable of." Alorah replies after considering the suggestion, "Perhaps a combination of slowing down the beasts and speeding us up "

wall of iron is a sixth level spell, requiring a 12th level sorcerer."

"Those things are beyond any aid i could call from the Dawnbringer. But we could see if any of the arcane folk about have something like that. A mixture of both might be needed. I could try and weaken the chains to brittle nothingness just in case teh putting them to sleep or charming them doesnt work."

”Keldon, your spell for brittling the chains sounds the most promising way to reduce damage from a stampede tearing away the supports.”

”Perhaps we could feed the beasts something, put them to sleep somehow or box them in where they can’t flee? Maybe a mass entanglement spell or plant growth if some of our host have access to such magic?”

”Once we have the problem of how to keep the rug from being pulled out from under us, we will have to eliminate the threat posed from the reventments. Do on we know the number guards stationed on top of the bridge?”

@DM:
Does Arthas know that the halfling can teleport in this game? I knew it in the Table 2 Game. Just checking before I have him say something wrong.

Arthas moves over to the halfling and places a hand on her shoulder in a friendly embrace, but where he can also grab her if she makes a sudden movement.

”We may also have an ace in the hole. I believe one of us possesses a way to get in plenty close and without being seen Keldon.”

”Nurah, I know you are no wizard and I have seen you teleport with my own eyes. Please, show them the device you have used to do it.”

Detecting Evil


AHARI BRIDGE MAP

A successful DC 15 Climb check is needed to move down or up one of the steep embankments of the dry riverbeds.
While this is unlikely to pose a challenge for heroes, it’s a significant barrier for the army.
In order to reach central Drezen and face the citadel’s army, the Heroes of Kenabres need to secure the Ahari bridge, as it is the only remaining crossing in town that provides access to the Citadel. The scouts report that the bridge is guarded by feral-looking beasts chained to the bridge’s weakened supports and several tieflings on the watchtowers above, and furthermore that each support has been significantly weakened by structural damage.
It might take a minute or two, but the beasts chained to the pillars could be driven to tear the bridge down.
Marching an army up to the bridges will certainly cause the cultists to destroy it, but a smaller group could sneak in and defeat them quickly without, hopefully, triggering the destruction of the bridge.
You cannot see into the bridge watchtowers; you only know they are occupied by multiple enemies.


Lady Nurah looked at Arthas.
"What now?" She asked, genuinely puzzled at what Arthas said. "Teleport?"

Arthas:
You detect no Evil, but you saw something flicker behind her eyes; something very like an effortless lie.


F Aasimar (Idyllkin) Sorceress (Celestial Bloodline) 8/ Archmage 2| HP: 59/64 | AC: 13(17) Touch:13 FF: 11(15) | CMB +5, CMD 19 | F:+6 R:+6 W:+10| Init: +2 | Perc: +4 (Darkvision),| Speed 30ft | Mythic Power 4/5|Heavenly fire 5/8 | resist acid 5, cold 5, electricity 5

"What are you talking about, Arthas?" Alorah says looking at the paladin with a touch of concern.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10


Nurah twisted her arm and escaped out of Arthas' grip.
"I don't know WHAT you are talking about milord!" She said hotly. "And I'll thank you NOT to manhandle me like I was some tavern wench!" She said, then turned on her heel and marched out of the command tent.


General Irabeth looked troubled.
"Milord Arthas, this is unseemly behavior..." She began, and others in the background started muttering in disapproving tones.

Befuddlement writ across his face, Grey shifts uncomfortably for a moment or two before hei-ing after his fellow Halfling.

"Is hij gewoonlijk zo?" Grey queries as he catches up to her. "Hij leek waardig genoeg in een gevecht," he adds, shrugging bemusedly, "natuurlijk denk ik dat dat gewoon betekent dat hij goed is in vechten..."

He too was confused by Artha's outbreak, but in that moment of confusion he did recall that before the initial fight and then the subsequent undead attack that they had been investigating some of the officers for whom was the suspected traitor. He himself had been investigating Master Aron Kir and had discovered something hidden...Perhaps Artha's had discovered something about Nurah.

"We all would do well to remember the discussion we had before we began to assault the city. I was following my own leads and hunches, perhaps he was following his. I am sure you can explain your reasons Arthas."

He said with a sigh, he was exhausted, he just wanted to make sure Kyra got back okay, and to find his bedroll for a few minutes.... or maybe food. Food would be good as well. And there was still that issue with Aron and Sosiel to deal with as well.

”Nurah’s alignment has been shielded from me and every other Paladin in the army since we mustered. The enemy has had a mole in our midst this entire campaign. The only times the enemy has not known our next move have oddly been coincident to times she is not in attendance to know our next move. I have seen her with my own eyes teleport. This was after the battle in the valley. I have wracked my brain on this for weeks.”

The Paladin’s eyes never leave the halfling’s.

”Now she lies effortlessly.”

”If I were to lie, I would not be able to wield Radiance as I do.”

Arthas draws the holy sword and places his bare hand on the blade showing that it does not burn him.

He holds up the dragon scale for all to see.

”The Martyred Dragon gifted me one of his scales as he fell in defense of the Holy City. A city which fell from traitors from within.”

He looks at his companions.

”Worries of making a false accusation held me back from stating my suspicion for some time. I couldn’t think an unobtrusive way to find the truth without some harm to a possibly innocent servant of Heaven. Blessedly, during our last battle I was granted a vision.”

Speaking in Celestial:
”Alorah, Incorruptible, can wield Heavenly Fire. It heals all who are good, it will do nothing to those who are truly neutral in the War between Heaven and Hell, but it will burn Demons and those who are evil like them.”

He looks back to Nurah.

”Care to explain your teleportation stunt?”

When Arthas shows Radiance and touches it's blade, Thrall nods.

Female Human INACTIVE - GAME DIED

Sapphiria listens intently to the conversation back and forth, then starts hastily signing a reply. She sighs as she realizes that it's going to be hard to get across a complex concept this way.

Digging through her pack she takes out her stylus and a scrap to write upon, puts her inkwell on the table, and skritches out a simple note, which she passes to the party.

Then we just arrange for her to get bad intel and catch her in the act.

As Sapphira's note is passed to her, Alorah reads it, moving to stand beside the statuesque blond warrior, and subtly moving her free hand until it makes contact with the back of Sapphira's. Focusing, she tries to project her thoughts in clear words, the way she received when first communicating with their new member.

'Except that won't work now that he has declared her a spy...unless she feels that we have a reason to fully trust her.'

Looking up, the sorceress' draconine shimmering eyes stare hard, firs at Arthas, then Nurah, her expression stony, tho whether at the idea of betrayal, false accusation, or being volunteered as the instrument of inquisition is unclear.

If nothing else, the paladin was right about her divine gifts effects based on what lay in the souls of those touched by it.

”Follow her out, she will hide then teleport away.”

He trusted Arthas, though he also couldnt believe miss Nurah was bad, He hurried out after her to try and see if he could help get to the bottom of this.

"Lady Nurah, a misunderstanding, we have questions."

He called out as he looked.


After Nurah swept out in a high dudgeon, and Grey darted out after her, the rest of the command tent erupted in cacophany as the staff jumped up and swarmed about shouting questions of General Irabeth and the rest of the Knights.
"Sir Arthas!"
"Mole?"
"What was that?"
"Spy?"
"Nurah?"
"How?"
"There's a traitor?"
"But why?"
Pressing all around you, you cannot exit the tent at the moment without a successful bull rush in difficult terrain.


Grey:
Darting out after Nurah, you follow her between the tents and out onto the banks of the dry riverbed.
She turned to you and shouted "Stop! It is a lie, I swear!"
Then she stumbled and fell backward. She desperately threw you a rope. "Catch me!" She called out.
Reflex save please.

Alorah turns her gaze on Arthas, curious as to the supporting evidence of his claims.

Arthas looks back at Alorah. His large armored form could have gone barreling through the pressing persons, but he looks resolved to remain where he is.

”I could have used Radiance to smite her evil.. My understanding is that the powers that be would not allow the strike to land on a good and innocent being. My hope was your healing aura would hold no violence. I know it will not burn me. I also know what I saw on two occasions with Nurah. She is complicit and lying. Being innocent I would welcome your Heavenly Fire’s embrace.”

”I hoped for revelation and possible redemption rather than her outright annihilation. I imagine her true lords will have far less care for her soul than I and mine.”

”I know my actions seemed extreme to you, but she has been able to lie to the Queen and her loyal ranks of paladins, the same way the enemy did before the fall of our holy city and the Silver Martyr.”

The Paladin stands firm, but calls out to his companions.

”Some of you need to find GREY, he should not go alone.”


"I WILL HAVE ORDER!" Thundered General Irabeth, jumping to her feet. Immediately the command staff stopped yelping and cringed back.
She leveled a steely glance at Sir Arthas.
"These are grave charges Sir Arthas. I hope and trust they prove to be founded on something more than a gut feeling; and just as much I hope they prove baseless. Lady Nurah came well recommended by Queen Galfrey herself." she said, looking ghastly as she said it.
"Nevertheless, we must have answers here. Go forth and bring Lady Nurah back here for..." She started saying before being cut off.


An orange light flashed against the command tent and dimmed as a BOOM shook the ground under your feet.
Swarming outside, you see one of the ancient warehouses near where your encampment is lit up as flames leap up from where the roof used to be.

Not ten yards away, you see Grey.
He looks absolutely dumbfounded. A rope trailed from his hands, down the ancient roadway and up to the broken windows of the burning warehouse.


Seeing you look at him, Grey looked down at the rope in his hands and threw it down like it was a live snake.
"What? No. No!
"It wasn't like that! Lady Nurah..."
He stuttered as he turned around expecting her to be there.
There was no one there.


Lord Horgus came out of the command tent and looked agape at the warehouse fire.
"Warehouse One! We need to put that fire out! HALF OUR FOOD SUPPLIES ARE IN THERE!" He shouted, then charged out shouting orders for soldiers to gear up for firefighting.


General Irabeth got orders out for local units to start fighting the fires and getting what supplies they could out of the warehouse.
She then turned to Grey.
"My Lord Grey" she gritted out, her steely gaze pinning him to the ground. "What were you doing with that rope, and where is Lady Nurah?"

Thrall looks at the rope. There has to be an explanation. What could be on the other end of it that caused such destruction? And someone like Grey... He has seen the little one in action and, if he were to sabotage anything, he certainly wouldn't have been caught just like that.

Now, does that imply Nurah is guilty of all charges? No. Does that imply they have to find her? Totally. Thrall, thus, puts himself to the task, searching for himself while no other more expert takes command.

"Grey, tell us what happened." First things first.

”Search for her, but you will likely find she teleported away. Let’s get a mage in here and search for the aura please, so we can identify the spell or device used? Can we get trackers as well?”

Arthas looks at Grey’s responses.

He detects evil on Grey focusing on him for a few rounds.

”This fire may be a distraction for other moves or acts. We can’t let down our vigilance.”

He moved with Sapphiria, while the worries over a possible traitor in the midst was worrying, this was all for nothing if the army starved trying to lay siege to the citadel. He couldnt create water at the moment, he had not thought to prepare such magics for the day, but he could help carry buckets to douse flames and heal any soldier wounded by the heat and flame.

Taedric shouts out a command in Sylvan, calling for Knave to meet him, while rushing out to get close enough to try to see what's happened... Maybe a wolf's nose can solve what our eyes can't... If nothing else, I can move buckets way faster mounted.

Alorah hitches up the hem of her dress as she races toward the warehouse, shifting her vision into the arcane spectrum as she does.

Detect Magic


Anevia ran up from the fire, holding the other end of Grey's rope.
"Irabeth! We found this rope connected to several alchemist's fire pots in the warehouse! They were rigged to fire at a pull of the rope."


Sitting in the command tent, flanked by two crusaders, Grey told his story.
Basically, he followed Nurah out of the command tent, trying to convince her to face the accusations. She refused, continuing to walk over by the bluffs overlooking the dry Ahari riverbed. She grabbed a rope covered by debris and looked like she was falling backwards off the bluff. She threw him the rope, and he hauled back. She cackled madly and... turned into a cloud of bats and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"I swear! That's what happened!" He said pleading. "You all know I could make up a way better sounding story than that!"

Detecting Evil:
No sign of Evil.


Aravashnial reported in.
"I have been alert for any translocations, plane shifts, gates or summonings of any kind. Nothing so far tonight." He said with authority.


The warehouse burned long into the night, and much of the food supplies there lost. There was just too little water available in the area.
With your help, maybe a quarter of the food supplies present were shifted out and saved.


Horgus came into the command tent all covered in smoke stains. He sat down and held his head in his hands.
"Well, I suppose we should give thanks only seventy-five percent of our food supplies are burning.
"She was so helpful. She said the supplies had to be gathered centrally to protect them from raiders.."
He muttered wearily.
