Unrak tries to stay near the door...
And falls in the damned pit
Bytor, stops his performance for a moment, but the effects linger in the air.
He then hurries to keep up with Unrak while he remains invisible.
Study the red target and move around to him. With haste, I've got the move speed. Study my new target as a swift action and strike.
Marc, heeding the words of the baron, and confident they can handle the foes, tries to get into the building with all haste. "Clear the way!"
He steps up to cut down one of the wolves to give him a clear path over the pit and into the building.... assuming someone gets the door open or he has to bash it down himself.
for
Unrak slips by the door and falls into the pit! A cheer goes up from inside the fort.
Luck has truly abandoned him, for he lands splayed across no less than four sharpened stakes... fortunately, a climb back out looks relatively easy.
Meanwhile, Augrym heads for the last spriggan in the hard. The spriggan swings his halberd as the half-orc passes by, but Augrym easily ducks the blade and replies with his own.
MISS
Meanwhile, Marc cuts down a wolf, and the echo of Bytor's song continues to inspire!
The last spriggan, finding Augrym too close for an easy swing, aims instead for Toth.
MISS
With Unrak in the pit, the defenders at the arrow slits turn their attention to Marc.
HIT

4. Spriggans (brown @ 11 dmg), wolves (red @ 23 nonlethal, unconscious, drowning; brown @ 13 nonlethal, unconscious, drowning)
Unrak gasps, then grunts. While still on the ground he takes out a minor curative potion & downs it
"BROTHER!" Taranis stays the course. He can't help his brother with so much going on out here. He directs both his spells, taking but a single step as he maintains his concentration. His whistle to Toth comes with the step:
Augrym! To the BUILDING. I've got this! Help Unrak if you can!
...i'm ok...
Toth pounces on the remaining spriggan!

Zed reads from his scroll, trying to Knock the door open.
SUCCESS
FAIL
The wolf manages to avoid the orb; the spriggan is not so lucky. He does not survive Toth's attack.
Zed casts his spell, and the bar behind the door shifts, and the door swings open! Behind it, Zed can see a narrow hallway lined with more arrow slits.
Two loud twangs thrum from the upper floor, heralding a pair of missiles bound for Marc. One buries itself in the dirt, the other in his thigh.

HIT
Down in the pit, Unrak downs a potion.

3. Marc (23/54 hp), Augrym, Unrak (27/81 hp), Bytor
4. Spriggans, wolves (red @ 23 nonlethal, unconscious, drowning; brown @ 13 nonlethal, unconscious, drowning)
Bytor carefully avoids the pit and enters the tower. Once inside he stows his bow and prepares to draw his longsword for close combat.
"I think I better get my blade out. I have a feeling that we are about to enter melee."
Augrym moves over to the pit but stays away from the edge. He then toss a rope into the pit and braces for the climb.
"Come rage filled brother friend Unrak!"
MISS
Augrym moves to help Unrak out of the 20' deep pit as Bytor prepares for hand-to-hand. All of the spriggans in the yard are dead or dying, both those in the fort are still very much alive. Through the arrow slits along the blockhouse's funnel, a crossbow bolt comes flying at Marc, while one of the spriggans on the floor above fires down through murder-holes in the ceiling.
MISS
MISS
Luckily, Marc's armor is thick enough to turn the missiles. Meanwhile, outside, Augrym garners the attention of the remaining spriggans at the arrow loops and atop the watchtower. A dented helmet clocks him on the brow.

HIT
Meanwhile, the last wolf standing makes a suicidal assault on Toth.

Bytor begins his oratory on the difference that a few good souls can make when they work together.
...yet when they stand united against that enemy so vile, they became near unstoppable . . .”
Full defence and keep holding the rope.
Marc finds that the door does not budge. The door also lacks a handle or keyhole.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Marc, sensing the urgency of getting the fort secure, lowers his shoulder and barrels into the door with all his warpriestly might!
With a mighty heave, Marc smashes the door hard enough that the bar behind snaps in two. He finds himself facing an armed spriggan, who immediately slashes him across the face with a halberd.
THREAT nope
To make matters worse, two more spriggans come piling into the narrow hallway, still buckling on armor.
Up above, the spriggans struggle with the sticky webs, to little avail.
FAIL
FAIL
The spriggan in the watchtower knows a spellcaster when he sees one, and chooses Zed as his next target. An empty helmet clocks the wizard in the head, giving him a nasty gash across the brow.

Taranis and his flaming sphere move in on the building. A whistle to Toth tells the big cat to guard Unrak.
Zed grabs a better position, awaiting a cleared path of ingress. He scans the roof of each building for hidden foes:
Zed sees no enemies atop the other buildings--just the fort.
The sounds of snapping from the second level indicate that one of the spriggans has broken free of the webs. A crossbow bolt slams into Zed, punching into the elf's gut.

Unrak makes the final push to the top of the pit, and gives Augrym a quick nod of thanks. Seeing the press in the fort, Unrak's rage takes over.
He takes a breath, and lets his rage consume him. He looks past his brother at the wall in front of him.
Let me try mine...
and he effing barrels at the wall, trying to MAKE HIS OWN DOOR.
"After this fight, we will need to regroup!"
Unrak scrambles to the top of the pit and...
