Coughing a bit, Svetlana backs down the tunnel where the burning acid smell is not so strong. Also worried the smell might attract unwanted attention, she moves to the shadows along one of the walls.
"Let's go to the stag lords room. Be best to catch him alone"
Brigid nocks an arrow and starts to move silently, taking slow, deliberate steps to avoid making the stairs creak. No vords now until ve are seen. She gestures to Damen to move after her.
Svetlana continues in stealth as well, trailing towards the back of the group as they move forward.
|
These steps are very steep, and not very well build. As soon as you place any weight on them, they creek and groan quick loudly. Somehow Brigid is able to manage most of the distance with very little noise.
Once near the top you see the roof areas have been turned into guard towers. From where you are you can see 2 guards.

Sorry I keep forgetting you have not used the program much....at the top of the page is a blue tab that looks like a piece of paper (white silhouette). Click on that and it will bring up the other pages (or should). I am just not sure as I am in DM mode and you have the Player mode...so I do not know if you have access (I think you do!)
|Give that a try and see :-)
With a last look at Akiros, Damen nocked an arrow and wordlessly followed after Brigid.
Moved Svetlana into place. She's in stealth next to the wall.
Kent will stay back he has no real stealth skills.
Brigid pulls herself up, avoiding the steps as much as she can and deftly moves around the corner.
Ulryk takes a defensive position guarding Svetlana and Kent. For the moment he has his ranseur out, though for those familiar with his fighting techniques, they know that means little considering how quickly he can draw and replace a weapon in his hands.
Damen crept a few steps behind Brigid, narrowly avoiding a board that looked particularly creaky. As he crested the top of the walkway, he glanced between the two bandits visible, then back at Brigid. There was no good way to hide in such an exposed position.
After a moment's thought, he pointed at her, then the farther bandit, and then himself and the nearer bandit. He spread his hands slightly in a questioning gesture.
Brigid nods once and nocks a blunt arrow. She draws it back and lets fly at the first one Damen pointed to.
Taking two of his arrows, Damen draws against his target.

No they don't. I go first. And I cast enlarge person on Ulryk.

Brigid
Bandit Leaders (2)
Svetlana & Ulryk
I have not rolled the Stag Lord yet, as at them moment he is not part of this battle, but might get added to it later!
Round One
Kent cast his spell on Ulryk, which will take effect next turn.
Bandits: Unknown (you can hear a lot of noise (voices calling and shouting and such), but from where you are now, you cannot see anything else.
Damen is up!
Not pausing for a moment, Damen let his bow drop and charged across the platform. As he moved he drew his morningstar, bringing it down on the howling bandit he'd wounded before.
Brigid's turn
Brigid moves north to the gray roof area and pauses, readying herself to send a lethal arrow to any bandit that begins taking the stairs up to their level.
Bandit leaders now
|
|
The party can hear shouting and people running about, but they seem focused at the far end of the fort. Both Brigid and Damen can now see 2 more bandits in the watchtowers near the front of the fort, but the other bandits and their leaders are not visible.
Akiros stays with the main group, waiting for orders as what you want him to do. His sword is out, and his shield held at the ready.
Svetlana and Ulryk can go now.
As the sounds of combat hit their crescendo, Svetlana crept along the platform in stealth. The time was not yet right for other actions, but she focused inwardly for a moment. Calling upon Calistria's duplicitous nature, a image double of the priestess sprang into existence next to her.
Kent walks over and picks up Damens bow. He might need it later.

While standing and waiting to see what is happening, Kent, Akiros and Ulryk see two bandits come around the corner of the ruined keep. Behind them they can hear someone shouting to 'Get up there and kill the bastards!'
Elsewhere the two furthest bandits on the watchtowers at the front of the keep take a shot at Damen.
Both miss badly. The wounded bandit at Damen's feet continues to bleed, but is now unconscious.
Damen looked at the bleeding bandit, a moment's hesitation coming over him as he saw the man still breathed. The hesitation evaporated as the arrows narrowly missed him and he moved quickly back toward where he'd left his bow. He held out his hand to Kent to recover it and pointed out the two bandits who shot at him.
Over his shoulder he called to Svetlana, "The one I hit still lives. For now."
Brigid doesn't take any time to dust herself off. Trailing a small cloud of debris from her fall, she steps to get nearer to the bandit that she can see.
