In the not far now you can see all the soldiers closing in.
Sladan
You notice bald and rather bulky one.
"The big one.That is Otho!"
Shouts Tarius.
Saya
Your dispel didn't stop the the fireplace from generating aura.
"No way!
It resists so much.
I will try one more time!"
(casting Dispel Magic)
Saya tries to focus harder but she can feel,
It tires her so much.
Round 1
Sumak riding on fred will move from to AT 19
Sladan sees Saya trying to hard to get rid of the magic auras. He can see the hit she takes.
"Saya, stop trying. You're only hurting yourself. It's too much. Don't worry, we're gonna deal with it later if we have too. Don't over extenuate yourself, please!"
Saya moves next to Gnaus and Tarius. (33,-AM)
She looks around if she could spot anything weird.
She hears Sladan worrying about her and tries to convince him that she is fine,
while hiding drops of sweat coming down from her face.

The army stops not far from the palisade.
All on the palisade can see Otho clearly as he speaks: "So captain Tarius we meet again. We came for the caravan and the food."
"YEA!" scream the soldiers all at once with a strange disembodied voice.
Otho continues: "But what is this .. you signed up with the witch.
We wont tolerate this men... or will we?
"NO!" Scream the soldiers again.
Saya
You suppress the aura but something tells you that you did not succeed completely.
Sladan believes Saya.
Sumak
All eyes are focused on Otho. You do as you please.
Map.
Saya heavily sights.
"Man!
He alleges me being a witch and he himself does something worse.
Letting his men to drink poison to just get them stronger and than let them die."
She shakes her head with rage running through her body.
(thinking)
Saya thinks for herself and than she spread her hands saying.
(Casting Wind Wall=to cover the palisade)
Little breeze,tailwind and gale
Protect us without a fail.
Let down the powerful curtain,
Be help and not a burden.
(covering 21-35AM)
After she releases invisible shield for palisade,
she drops on the ground.
(thinking)
A wall of wind appears just before the palisade.
Tarius shouts: "Drop your weapons and come home. You are soldiers of Norfall."
The soldiers do not respond.
Otho does: "You do not seem to understand... it is over and you did it to your self. HAHAHA"
Suddenly out of the fire ascends a burning skull with a magical symbol on its forehead. It floats for a moment above the fire, then opens its mouth and dark mist spreads from it.
The Initiative:
1.Amdoran
2.Sladan

Turn 1:
Sladan sees as Saya drops on the ground near him. He starts being scared for her. He moves and lowers on the knees next to him.
"Saya, are you OK? What's the problem?"
Sladan helps Saya to stand on her feet.
Round 1
Saya whispers to Sladan.
"Its in a fire.
The item which is emitting that fog."
She tries to stand up as Sladan is helping her.
"I can blow away the fog for few second.
We need to just grab it and either destroy it
or send it flying far away to our enemies."
She closes her eyes and says.
(casting Alter Wind)
"This little wind blows silver rain,
This little wind blows snow.
This little wind sings a whistly tune,
Hey Little wind,listen to my call
...Rise!"
HawkEye is readying his action and he's waiting for his master's order!
The mist is not blown away by the wind. You are not able to see what happened to the fire.
Amdoran prepares his shield (Total defense)
Otho prepares his shield (Total defense)
"GET ME THEIR HEADS!" he screams.
The soldiers march forward holding their shields in front to protect them selves and start throwing spears but none of them passes the wind wall.
Tarius Ganus Bardo and Tobyrun frantically out of the mist.
Saya swiftly jumps down from palisade.
She runs to Kormek.(23 -AM)
Elbowing him,she whispers.
"Javelins wont do as you can see,
but that is all what can it do really."
Sladan jumps down and follows Saya. He thinks what he can do.
HawkEye follows Saya, being ready to defend her of any harm that may occur.
Amdoran stares forward at the approaching army from atop the palisade. He raises his sword and flame grows upwards across it's length. (Celestial spirit giving the flaming quality). He yells across to the others:
"Can anyone do anything about those ladders?"
He then looks across at the approaching army and scans for sources of evil.(casting detect evil).
Saya
Kormek turns to you with his shield ready and a confused face as the javelins completely missed him hitting the palisade instead.
"That was you? Can you like ... throw them all back or something? And where is the little one with his wolf? He is gonna miss all the fun." smiling he says at the end.
You are surprised but all you feel is a unity of evil from all the soldiers. It sends shivers down your spine as you never felt so much evil in one place.
Otho
He continues to protect himself with his shield moving forward.
And so do his soldiers. They throw spears but none of them goes trough.
"What is that wile witchery! It must be the girl! Kill her! Kill her soldiers of Norfall! It was she who bewitched your town!
Prepare the ladders." Otho screams.
Tarius and Gnaus join the others on the palisade.
Map.
That was Turn 2
Turn 3:
Round 2
Round 3
quick question how tall is the palisade?
Saya decides to found out more about Otho.
(casting Detect Magic)
(thinking)
Amdoran will continue to defend, and while he does he yells out:
"It seems they're all being controlled by a single force. Our best bet is that it's Otho. It's possible that if we kill him we free the others, or at least give them true rest."
Otho
"Rise the ladders!" Otho screams when his soldiers reach the palisade.
The soldiers prepare to position the ladders.
"We need to try to tip them over!" Kormek shouts.
Map.
Turn 4:
Round 4
If you take the right route its the same but the Acrob. check DC is only 5 and you might end up with a Will cut.
Saya continues to focus on Otho.
(Second round on Detect Magic)
She realizes, they need to spread out to cover each ladder so she shouts.
"Kormek! Toby! Cover the last ladder!
Amdoran, stay with me on ladder next to them.
Sladan with Gnaus could you guys stay on ladder next to us.
Tarius and Bardo you two could take care of the first ladder, please."
She feels the pressure as she tries to think.
-Posted with Wayfinder
After Sladan hears Saya he whispers mostly to himself, without knowing that other might hear him :
"Who died and made her captain? ". He does not say that as a joke, or a inappropriate remark, it is just something that came through his mind.
“yeah, you're right. On my way... "
Sladan snaps out of his thoughts and rushes through 21-AM (considering the spot is empty and he can get there)
Saya
You can feel strong magical energy radiating from Otho.
There might be more then one aura but you are unsure.
As the ladders hit the palisade you are spread up to cover them.
The soldiers reach the gate.
Both traps are sprung but none of the soldiers are caught.
The enemy does not notice Sumak.
Turn 4:
Ooopsie ... its turn 5. My apologies.
Round 5:
Fred Having set himself into position with sumak on his back at his silent command Charges Challenging his target
Charge from current position to AI24 Ride by attack Otho and end moving in Y26. I provoke from enemy that are in AI23 and AJ24
Total Damage is 51 with spirited charge
Current AC 33 Against challenged target and 31 vs every one else
And with a satisfactory smile Sumak awaits what is about to happen next
Current AC 26
Amdoran will stand at the ladder so that soldiers climbing up have to fight through him to get into the wall.
He raises his sword and uses Channel positive energy. (harms all undead within 30ft of him. They get a DC16 will save to take half damage.)
Sladan gets ready to shoot enemies which may climb the ladder and puts Hawkeye to defend Saya again.
Saya uses detect magic for third round.
As soon as she finishes,
will try to cast a spell on Otho.
(thinking)
She point her fingers at Otho and shouts.
"From deep darkness piercing light comes,
Be wary a warrior. It will strike once...
those who are in its way will crumbs.
Be wary a warrior. Thats the power of suns."
(Scorching ray-{electricity}-with Flared feat)
(Dazed for 2 rounds)
Amdoran
You do have an effect at all the soldiers within you reach which proves your suspicions and no soldiers manage to climb your ladder.
Sumak
The enemies are surprised about your sudden attack.
No AoO.
Feeling of satisfaction turns into confusion when you realize that the damage you caused to Otho was not so big as you would expect from your assault. What more? You notice that he is smiling as he slowly turns towards you.
Saya
You feel strong necromancy.
Your spell goes trough some strange barrier protecting Otho which nearly prevented the effect. You burn his body to a crisp and he falls on the ground... laughing.
Sladan
As the soldiers start crawling up you fire two arrows.
Both hit.
Npcs defend.
Soldiers start to crawl up the ladders.
Round 6:
