"How many guards will be joining us? How long will it take to get to Vigil? What kind of supplies are we escorting?" Darius asks the sgt.

The sgt. smiles at Darius' questions: "Well none, it'll be you three. I think you misunderstood, you are not going to Vigil, you'll meet them half way and take over protecting mostly steel."

" We'd best get to it. Wouldn't want to keep them waiting at the meeting point would we guys! " Mirela salutes the Sargent, grinning. " I'll just go sort my gear and I'll meet you two at the gates. " She rushes off as soon as she has permission to leave, hurrying to gather her things and then rushing to the gates.

If you have no more questions the sgt. dismisses you.

Make your preparations and meet at the gate when ready. let me know if you do anything special.

Logen arcs an eyebrow as Mirela leaves "She's pretty excited for grunt work. Aight then, see ye at the gates Darius" Logen gathers his supplies, but otherwise does nothing out of the ordinary

Right before he leaves Logen turns around "What sort of supplies are we protecting? I just want to know that if some greenskin fires a hot arrow at my wagon it won't explode"

Looking impatiently at Logen the sgt. responds: "As I said to crusader Wright steel mostly."

[ooc]I am going give Darius a chance to ask more questions or conduct any business before we head out.[(ooc]

Logen grins "Now don't get yer rusted codpiece in a knot"

ok, I don't think Logen has much to do except get new rations and fill his waterskin

"Do we have any idea what so ever when the guards will be there?"

The sgt. doesn't smile at Logen's remark her answers coldly: "That'll do crusader you're dismissed." You do realize it is not the sgt. major right?

Turning to Darius he answers: "Not exactly 3-4 days I believe."

"That shall be all, sir. Thankyou."

Oh Logen realizes, he just thought he'd go for a laugh lol

Darius finds Logen leaning up against the side of the building when he exits. As Darius comes out he grunts and pushes himself off the wall to join him "So, whatcha think of the new lass? An I being serious, I meant as a comrade in arms, not the lass part" he grins "Although it's a nice perk"

"To be honest, I'm not sleeping anywhere near her, because I really like my throat the way it is."

Feel free to move on with campaign DM, Darius and I will just write spoilers to each other

In character banter. YAY!

Mirela waits at the gate twirling a dagger in her hands and watching Eugeni explore the surrounding area. Hopefully I can prove myself on this mission, hopefully I can show them I'm on their side.

Having packed what belongings you want to bring you head out from castle Firrine on foot in the direction of the glorious capital of Vigil. It is still late morning as the castle grows smaller and you road leads you to the village at the banks of the river Esk. Some time before lunch you you reach the small village. Crusader seems to be well liked here and when they learn who you are a little food is passed you way. With wishes of safe travel they see you off as you turn east along the river. It is a lonely road, not many people travel these lands at the moment. After a short break for lunch day turns to evening and it is time to settle in and find a place for the night.

A survival check DC 15 please, Let me know how you handle camp, sleeping arrangements, watches etc.

Survival: 1d20 ⇒ 16 With a bonus from my knowledge of nature perhaps? 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Mirela takes deep breaths of the fresh air as they travel, stopping occasionally to feel the bark of a tree or the leaves of a shrub. She tries to engage the others in small talk, asking them where they're from and how they came to be serving at the castle as she tries to gauge their opinion and friendlyness towards her.

Er how cold is it in these parts?

In a good mood from their welcome at the small village, Logen walks next to Darius with one hand holding his falchion over his shoulder and another eating a hunk of bread from the village. As Mirela jumps around exploring nature Logen watches her with a bemused expression. When she inquires about him he gives her a sideways look "I thought I might be quite an asset to them with my skin color and all. More to the point, I heard there's riches if ye know who ta ask" he pauses and throws a piece of bread to a nearby bird "As for my home...perhaps you'll learn that another time" Logen seems more curious if anything towards her, but it's pretty apparent he'd rather have Darius at his back in a fight at the time.

As the sun begins reaching the horizon Logen narrows his eyes and looks around "We should settle down" after finding a suitable spot and setting up camp Logen approaches the others, and as he does you see he has his shirt off and you notice a large, ragged, multiple gashed scar across his chest "So, what are we doin for watch?"

Logen will probably sleep in the shadow of a tree if he can

"I'll take first watch. I don't require any sleep for my watch, but I don't see well in the dark like you, Logen, and I don't have the help of anyone like you, Mirela." Darius says.

" Ok, I'll take whatever watch you like. Though maybe the last watch would be best, because Logen would see better than me in the dark as well. Should we have a fire? Something warm to eat? "

Mirela tries to find somewhere comfortable in between the roots of a tree. She'll wrap her cloak tightly about her with Eugeni sleeping inside the folds of the cloak.

At Logen's suggestion of setting up camp Mirela scouts the surroundings for a suitable spot. She quickly identifies a site elevated a few feet above the rest protected from the wind by a few trees and other vegetations. The weather haven't improved since you arrived at castle Firrine and autumn is making its mark a moderate wind is blowing from the north bringing the chill of distant lands to you.

Yep it's cold think 5 degrees Celsius

oh its cold but not dangerous, I think we can deal with that

Back when Mirela found the spot
Logen grunts and nods "Well done, shelter and high ground"

"So, I'll be taking the dark watch"

Spot on. So the watch divided 3 ways Darius, Logen Mirela in that order?

Sounds like it. I'll give you my Perception now.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Sounds like the plan

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Q.Q you guys have good Perception rolls...

let's hope the bad guys stall their plans lol

[ooc] Surely they want to wait till we're all settled in... Right? Lol.

Perhaps, perhaps not.

The night is uneventful, some might call it peaceful but to true adventures is is boring. The sound of the cold northern wind keeps you all company on your watch. There is not much light here as the moon is waning. The dancing lights of your campfire only extends so far into the night and beyond their reach lies darkness. The night is quiet as if all is asleep not even wolves are heard.

The next morning is cold the sun's rays are struggling to pierce the clouds that rolled in during the last part of Mirela's watch. The fire warms you as you warm your food and perhaps some water. You set out along the river and continued your journey towards the steel from Vigel.

As morning is behind you and midday soon approaches the road passes through a small wood. As you are almost inside a hail of arrows flies at you and all of you are graced. Looking in the direction of the arrows you see four foul goblins grinning at you.

All right Mirela 1 damage, Logen 1 damage and Darius 3 damage. The goblins are 40 ft. away in the edge of the woods. Questions?

Initiative: 13, 14 ,10
Darius 23
Mirela 16
Logen 7
Goblins 4

Logen smirks back "Oh I'll give ye something ta grin about" he pulls his falchion off his back and charges righ at them

can i reach them this round?

They are 40 ft. away, if you have your weapon drawn you can charge, if not you need the quick draw feat to do so.

Eugini is riding on Mirela's shoulders after exhausting himself running back and forth across the path all morning.  

Mirela winces as the arrow grazes her, but she concentrates and begins to states low arcane phrases in a firm but singsong voice.

Casting Sleep centred on the goblins to catch as many as possible in the 20ft area. Will Save Dc: 15  

then i'll just draw and go full defense this round, weather incoming arrows then charge next round

Mirela will step behind Logen as she casts, unless there's rocks or foliage to take cover behind.

Darius starts moving towards them, pulling out his Rapier as he moves, and begins barking orders for people to charge at them. Bardic Performance: Oratory. Gotta love it.

Darius begins to close in on the goblins while Logen and Mirela hold their ground. Mirela draws on her arcane powers and soon after two of the goblins fall to the ground fast a sleep. Meanwhile Logen readies himself for another volley. As expected the remaining goblins fire at the two and one of the arrows graces Mirela's left leg (4 Damage).

Initiative:
Darius 23
Mirela 16
Logen 7
Goblins 4

When my turn gets here

Logen bares his teeth as the arrows come down, moving too slow to block the one that went for Mirela "Fine ye little green runts" he roars and charges at the nearest one

Charge Attack1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9
ya im not even gonna bother rolling damage on that one

As a free action, I continue my Bardic Performance. Move action to get in their grills, Standard to attack with my rapier.

Rapier Stab: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Confirmation for Crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Drat :(

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Take that ya little green buggers! Surround them! Get to their flanks! Strike their hearts!" Darius continues to shout.

Eugeni jumps down from Mirela's shoulders staying down low. Mirela moves up ten feet and gives the Goblin in front of Logen an unnerving stare commanding its attention!

Evil eye: -2 to Attack rolls. For 7 rounds. Will save Dc: 15 to reduce to one round.

EDIT: Eugeni's Hide roll: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Please note that I am doing my Bardic performance, and that will increase the to hit and damage by +1. You might be adding that, but it should be noted.

Darius strikes at one of the two awaken goblins, his rapier connects beautifully, puncturing the beast's upper arm just below the shoulder and blood sprays from the wound. The other goblin is visible shaken by Mirela's stare and shutters. Over eagerly Logen charge the goblin but misses. Somehow the goblin manages to strike back and connects with the half-orc's thigh (3 damage). The other goblin misses Darius by a hair.

Yaa bards!!

Trying to keep his head level for the time being Logen swings for the goblin Darius injured

Power Att 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
Damage 2d4 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 + 1 = 13

Mirela tries her slumber hex on the goblin in front of Logen hoping to put it to sleep and finish the skirmish.

will save, Dc 15

I'll upkeep the performance, and I'll swing again.

To hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

This time Darius' rapier finds a better sport piercing the goblin's thorax and heart, death it falls to the ground. As Mirela intones her curse the goblin feel a little drowsy but after a good head shake it puts it's tongue at Mirela "Brrr". Barely done laughing at the witch it's head flies into the grass as Logen cuts it down.

Will save against Mirela: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

In the interest of saving time, you coup de grace the remaining sleeping goblins? If not let me know. 180 xp each. No loot besides their equipment if you want it.

Sounds good. I don't think we need the tiny equipment much
