Grimacing at his unexpected voltage recipience, Mahdi snifs at the appearance of a second retriever. "Hmmf."
He draws a wand and blasts the retriever with it...
"Another one!?"
The dwarf sidesteps, Zenzirad cutting circles through the air.

Pent takes his cue from his initial success with the first Retriever, so loads his crossbow again, and fires again. He decides to plant himself against the side of the building nearby, hoping to minimize his profile.
"Quickly! Kelmarane still sleeps!"
Aldebert uses the speed of the mage to close the distance with the second retriever, laying into it with a zealot's strength. Gretiem supports his rider, landing a bite against one of its legs. Mahdi takes a practical approach to destroying a construct from a distance. Amiamble comes out of invisibility, as he reaches a withering hand to affect the retriever, while Yeen bites another of its legs. Pent misses handily, with two comrades in melee. Otah covers the distance between him and the second retriever, and lands the killing blow!
The Lower Gate reclaimed, you have a moment to observe activity to the southeast of the town. As promised, Nefeshti has made her presence known, with her elite band of janni slowly moving across the desert, in full view of the overlooking Kelmarane. Suddenly, her forces grow from a mere two dozen, to a hundred. The sight and sound is quite awesome.
For your witnessing of Nefeshti's earlier casting of Persistent Image, it appears that she's done it again. This time, she's made it look as if the larger contingent of janni dismissed their at-will invisibility at the same time, revealing a much larger threat in approach to the town.
You start to see Davashuum's janni and gnoll forces beginning to take notice from their vantage in the Heights.
What do you do next?
Aldebert remembers the map, "Let's head counter clockwise to the bridge next. Then around to the back, then up the hill to the temple. Sound good to everyone?"
If so, he rides off to the bridge, mindful to slow Gretiem's pace for the others.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Otah surveys the damage with a smile. "Yep, it knows."
"We should head to the North Bridge, it's closest and Nefeshti could prevent more leaders from joining the fray... if we can take it."
Ami nods ferociously to Aldebert, getting his battle rage on now that the fighting is really starting.
”Yes, Brother! To the bridge! Maybe there will be gnolls there for us to sacrifice to honor Sarenrae!” Ami charges after his brother.
Pent feels the weight of his Carpet, tossed over his shoulder, and wonders if he'd rather soar than roar down the streets of Kelmarane. They hadn't seen anyone posted to rooftops, at least for the early morning, so he feels fast enough for Mahdi's gift of butterfeet that he tries to keep up with his companions, as the head down into Lower Town.
"Clock sounds wise, Aldi. Keep time, don't rush, and we'll have our appointment at the North Bridge before they know it!"
For the quick work of the retrievers, Pent wonders what lies in store at this second stop of theirs in so many minutes...
Your great speed carries you swiftly towards your Second Mission- the North Bridge, and the center of the janni watch/patrols.
Otah becomes your metronome, his usual clip the slowest of you all.
Less than half a minute later, you find yourselves at the intersection of the road. To the north, the watch tower at North Bridge. It has a minaret, which has a copper bell catching the light of the rising sun. There is a second floor in the minaret, which provides a nice vantage over this intersection...
To the south, the road that leads out of Kelmarane, towards the southeast, where Nefeshti's 'great' army marches.
To the east, more directly, new buildings erected in the restoration of Kelmarane.
Crossing the bridge is a janni patrol moving south. The great interest in the approaching army has likely already reached their ears. Standing and watching the janni patrol about to pass by is a small pack of gnolls dressed in slaver gear, growling in obsequious support.
When you arrive, each group seems to become aware of the others, though with varying levels of interest. Threat levels uncertain...
"Nefeshti is clever," Mahdi says in low chuckle. "Now for OUR part of 'shock and awe...' "
Mahdi gives a dismissive look to the gnolls-- Ami will be happy, he knows that much-- and gazes with a sinister smile on the jann patrol on the bridge.
"You have no idea how much I am glad to be back from the plane of fire...."
Another tiny, tiny bead of ember-brightness flicks from his fingers, towards the jann.
A second after the little bead leaves Mahdi's fingers, the bridge erupts in an especially bright conflagration of flame, washing over the jann patrol.
The janni are taken by surprise, fire erupting in massive conflagration around each and every one of them!
Five of the six janni fall to the flames, leaving the captain and his lone soldier alone at the bridge! The two give each other a knowing look, and both swiftly disappear!
You can tell that your fire did not burn as powerfully against the jann, but that didn't seem to matter to the five dead.
The wily genies have decided to slip into the Ethereal Plane, having cast Ethereal Jaunt.
The gnolls snarl and howl their surprise, as several, more powerful, creatures burn before their black eyes.
Meanwhile, the bell in the Watch Tower begins to clang...
"The last two went ethereal. Be prepared for them to re-emerge," Mahdi says, while cracking his knuckles. "That tower bell might be a problem..."
You have line-of-sight, as a decent vantage allows a two-way street for spying the possible watchman, but you see nothing from where you stand.
Round 5, Init 14
Ami moves up 30’, making a few choice gestures to the gnolls. They are most of challenge, defiance, and a lot of questions about the gnolls purity and hygiene. He ends the invite to battle with an flame strike, targeting the 4 gnolls on the right.

First janni, now gnoll! The pack of gnoll slavers collapses, almost to the last, as Amiamble spares the life of fifth to spread the word of Sarenrae's Coming. It doesn't hesitate to bolt, leaving the intersection and the scattered dead.
The copper bell rings in echo, but it no longer peals. The bell ringer is no longer actively striking it in alarm. The job is done.
The Watch Tower has the main doors facing you, the bell tower second floor, and the side door by the pier, by which you may attempt entrance, by normal means.

The gnome bolts across the intersection, imagining all sorts of attention now drawn to this section of Lower Town. "Hurry! The quicker we clear out the position, the quicker we can move on to the next one, you know, before we have even more to deal with here...!"
Otah darts down the street. As he passes the building he throws his weight into a vicious stomp-slide and veers left. "Gnome, don't run off into a sword!"

Aldebert and Gretiem surge forward, using their speed to close as best they can (run, but can't turn the corner, so still a little ways from the door).
Round 6
Ami has to hold back Yeen from sprinting after the fleeing gnoll, and instead turns the cat to follow the quick carpeted gnome. He uses haste-fueled movement to double move. As he moves by, he delights in the scent of burning gnoll wafting to the skies. That is the only good gnoll scent in his mind.
The Scourge makes haste in crossing the intersection, arriving at the doors of the Watch Tower. The inside is, for the most part, quiet. The sound of the copper bell above still echoes behind the front doors.

Pent takes the initiative to open the front doors of the Watch Tower, to allow his folk a way forward. If they open, he remains at the side of the door. If they don't, he quickly points out that they might need another way in, and he gets ready to mount his Carpet, eyeballing the bell tower.
The front doors open easily enough, unbarred as they are.
The set of unlocked double doors leads into the bottom of the 20-foot-diameter minaret, where a single door to the north waits. There are stairs headed upwards, towards the bell.

Aldebert and Gretiem ride swiftly into the entry chamber and to the far door (thanks to haste, single move) which Aldebert then opens.
Round 7, Init 14
Ami spins his ring again, turning invisible after blasting the gnolls to ashes. He guides Yeen in behind his brother.
Mahdi drifts after the others, airborne as is his wont ever since he became powerful enough to manage that for much of the day.
"If that captain and the other survivor are intelligent, they'll have reported to Davashuum or other superiors immediately," he observes. "And who knows what the bell alarm will signal."
Even as he speaks Mahdi's pricking his finger with a tiny needle and muttering words under his breath.
The Scourge ducks into the Watch Tower, the dwarf bringing up the rear. Kelmarane sounds more awake outside, as you enter the interior.

Pent waits for Otah to get inside, before he himself follows, closing the doors behind them, for the privacy of a Watch Tower purge...
This room contains a large table, some chairs, and a small kitchen area in the northeast corner. Six bedrolls lie on the floor in the eastern half of the room.
The dwarf darts into the doors opened by the gnome. He pauses for the faster halfling to open the far door, then moves inside.
Otah moves to the kitchen side area and investigates what lays there.
As the steely dwarf slips into the guard room, two jannis slip from invisibility to surround Otah, striking him from flank!
As fast as they attack, both suddenly disappear!
The janni captains appear to have a Quickened Invisibility in their arsenal of tricks.

Aldebert and Gretiem smoothly sail into the room and attack the area where blue was last seen, presuming they can’t attack, turn invisible, AND move all in the same round…
(feast, bof)
(feast, bof)
(feast, bof)
Ami waits to act, having solutions to jerky invisible jerks. He’s invisible too, but is slightly less jerky than others.
Aldebert joins the fight, against foes unseen, and manages handily to strike at the substance of the stalker behind Otah, hitting twice, while Gretiem finds a target with first tongue, then bite! Blue doesn't look so good, but he remains upright, for the time-being.
Within moments, another two janni captains appear out of thin air, and swipe at Aldebert, from the rear!
Green's first thrust is a painful one, overcoming each and every buff the halfling could have thought to prevent such an attack.
Both janni captains take a moment to disappear again!
In the Minaret, two more janni captains appear, at Mahdi's side! Sadly, they are only able to muster a swing apiece. But what strikes they be...
Both janni captains disappear again!
Aldebert takes a painful blow, piercing his feast protection (temp HP) and cutting into his flesh. He responds with an AoO.
(feast, bof)
Hissing at the sudden appearance of bastards, Mahdi borrows a page from them and disappears. "A mistake," he says darkly... then flies away.
As Mahdi attempts to fly through the inner doorway, he is stopped before he can do so, as two invisible bodies collide. The lurking janni captain, still cloaked in invisibility, can do nothing against an invisible opponent, but certainly takes up the space required to prevent other incursions from taking place...
"--there's an invisible one blocking the damned doorway!" Mahdi snarls, and pulls back instead-- after speaking of course.
AoO Blue
AoO Green
AoO Orange
Round 8, Init 14
Invisible himself, Amiamble still carefully casts invisibility purge (65' range) because he is worried that his brother might be in trouble.
Now able to see foes, Yeen lunges at pink, seeking to rend the flesh of the janni.

Ami:
"--" Mahdi becomes visible, and looks irately at Ami.
Ami, now also visible, waves back to Mahdi awkwardly.
Pent closes the exterior doors, hoping to keep the siege of the Watch Tower a private affair. Otah steps even further into the main guard room, to investigate the kitchen, when janni captains appear out of thin air! Red manages to slip back into invisibility, while Blue does not.
Aldebert and his steed lay into Blue, with a precision which would have just as easily struck an invisible janni captain as the quite visible one standing at the dwarf's flank. The halfling's entrance pulls two more janni captains from their hiding states. Green strikes true, and both Green and Orange fail to slip into invisibility, due to their concern of imminent return fire.
Meanwhile, the Minaret devolves swiftly into mayhem, as two more janni captains suddenly appear at the fire mage's flanks, mid-air. Out of martial instinct, they, too, try to implement a cautious defensive casting, and fail like so many others.
Mahdi shows the jann how it's done, Vanishing, and exploring the close quarters of the Watch Tower. He finds a stealthy barring of the inner door by yet another janni captain intent on separating the field.
Amiamble evens the playing field, unleashing a purge of the invisibility cloaking a couple of jann, one irate fire mage, and himself, making it nigh impossible for the foes to utilize such sweet skill. This allows Yeen to savage Pink, grabbing the janni captain mid-air!

Pent bounds up the stairs, heedless of Yellow's proximity, to deliver a healing touch to Mahdi the Manifested. "If it's any consolation, it's much easier to heal you if I can find you, Mahdi. I could have followed the sound of your voice, but it echoes pretty magnificently in this minaret, don't you agree? You could have been anywhere, with as loud as you bellowed when you bumped into the lurker at the door down there."
The gnome places paw on the fire mage, and hopes to heal as much as he can.
The gnome takes a slash to the side in order to deliver much needed healing to the suddenly seeable fire mage.
Otah steps into the center of the room, perched powerfully on the dining table, then brings Zenzirad in a full swing that somehow manages to miss his fighting companion halfling.
Blue drops outright, already bleeding severely from Aldebert's concerted attack with Gretiem! Green, Orange, and Purple are freshly injured, giving them something cold and dark to think about.
"Well done, Otah. Their blood is warm, but not for long, if it pours onto the floor. Let's do that again."
Something in her vibrations eases the fatiguing muscles in your forearms, like a pugilist getting massaged in his corner, before returning to the fight.
Red circles Otah, slipping into flank with Orange.
Red hisses, as he misses. He looks to Purple in the doorway, who shakes his head, flicking it in the direction of those in the Minaret. This seems to be enough communication between the two captains, and Red doesn't bother with trying to disappear.

Aldebert and Gretiem make a fierce stand against the unfortunate jann, unable to revert to their invisible protections. Orange falls first, seasoned to taste by Otah's vicious whirlwind attack. Then, Purple, then Green finally, as Gretiem brings him down with his own savage bite!
