”Nice try,” he says. ”Don't think I’m serious? Tessa! Show them!”
An arrow from somewhere ahead of you goes rattling across the pavement near your feet.
”Next time she aims a bit higher. Now what’ll it be?”
Res watches the arrow clatter to the ground and roars with laughter. "I don't think that is a warning at all; I think dear Tessa missed. If you're gonna make it in this bandit business, you need to learn to project as you mean it. Let me show you how."
Res pulls out his greatsword with a flourish and brandishes it at the man. "My companion is too polite. I'm itching for a fight and you've arrived just in time. Drop your weapons and flee now, or this will be your last minutes in this godforsaken land!" He takes a half step forward toward the man menacingly.
”Aim for that one!” the bandit calls out.
"Well, you made a poor choice, but don't worry, you won't need to live with it for very long," threatens Res in a menacing tone.
"Irikar, if you keep an eye on your shadowy figure, we'll keep these bandits from your back," the paladin offers.
Volidrian will draw his bow and loose an arrow at the bastard sword wielding wereboar.
He will then take a 5 foot step back diagonally.
Dr Tovanarish readies his crossbow and begins chanting. A glowing sword begins to appear before him
Volidrian's arrow strikes the hulking wereboar. He cries out, and arrows come flying through the fog as promised from somewhere in front of you. One arrow comes flying at Leandro, and another at Irikar.
"That will show them!" the rogue in front calls out. He and his mate rush in to flank Res and strike at him with their rapiers.
The bigger wereboar flies into a frothing rage and charges directly at Leandro.
In the heat of the battle, a female voice from ahead of you gives an agonizing wail. "Something's... Something is here!" she calls out weakly.
"Brought friends, did you?" the face of the bandits sneers. "We will finish them, too."
Dr Tovanarish
Res
Tybalt
Leandro
Irikar
Volidrian
Wereboars
Volidrian will take another 5 foot step back diagonally and continue to put arrows into the same Wereboar.
Res's first arrow strikes the wereboar, but he continues his rage.
Leandro whoofs as the bastard catches him a heavy blow.
"I take it negotiations are over?"
With a quick, dancing step backwards, he brings Thorn down on his opponent, then attempts to skewer him.
Leandro strikes the hulking wereboar, but it still menaces.
Tybalt looks aghast, then clouds of roiling fog roll from his armour.
"Whoops, looks like you mist me, that's a porcine for your chances. However we are here to protect you my dear lady from these bores." The mocking japes roll from the tongue as easily as his armour dissolves into fog.
Res winces with each strike but then sneers, "Is that all you got?" He takes a five-foot step into a flank with Tybalt. He touches the holy symbol on his armor and chants, "Fierce Gorum! Heal your servant and his comrades so that we can eradicate these vermin from this land!" A flash of light emerges from Gorum's holy symbol, but it avoids the three bandits in combat.
Dr Tovanarish directs his incorporeal sword at the foe facing Irikar . He then fires two bolts at the same foe
Add +1 if within 30'
Add +1 if within 30'
Irikar steps back around the well and sighs, "I guess we're doing this, then," he mutters as electricity begins to arc around him. He draws back his hand and pushes it out toward the raging wereboar that attacked Leandro, hurling a bolt of lightning at it.

Irikar's blast of electricity gives the wereboar a powerful jolt, and Dr. Tovanarish's ghostly sword cuts at it deeply.
The two roguish wereboars carefully step back into a flank against Res.
The big wereboar steps up and continues its assault on Leandro.
In the distance ahead of you, the female voice lets out a horrible wail followed by a chilling death rattle, and you hear shuffling upon the pavement. Another wereboar wielding a bow comes running toward you at a sprint. "Something... Something in the shadows..." he pants.
Irikar nods at the breahtless newcomer and sighs, "Told you, baconhead," and throws another burst of lightning at the leader attacking Leandro.

Tybalt looks worriedly behind the wereboars; "Hey, though you may fly from your sty - you will pay for what you've done to that lay-day."
Waiting to see if Tybalt will reveal a better target.
Res chokes down the blood gurgling up his throat and moves 5 foot into a flank with Volidrian against one of the wereboars. He takes a mighty cut at the creature's midsection with his magical greatsword.
Volidrian will drop is bow and pull out his scimitar to attack the wearboar with Res.
Volidrian and Res both land solid hits upon the bandit leader, but their blades do not wound him as thoroughly as they would have an ordinary creature.
Dr Tovanarish's spiritual weapon strikes again at the heavy hitter.
He fires two crossbow bolts at him as well. One of them hits, but the damage is mitigated by the lycanthrope's natural resistances.
A dark shadow emerges from the fog behind the wereboar archer. Its shape is roughly humanoid, but it is little more than roiling darkness with two flickering pinpoints of light where eyes should be. It reaches out with its long thin fingers at the terrified lycanthrope.
vs touch
The archer lets out a wail as some of his life force is drained by the dark figure. Trembling, he steps back and fires an arrow at it.
But his arrow merely passes through the incorporeal creature.
When the two roguish wereboars see this new assailant, their manner changes, and fear is plain in their expressions. The unscathed wereboar turns and runs to the side, eager to get away from this new presence and from all of you.
"Don't leave me here!" the mouthpiece of the party yells out. He steps to the side and jabs at Volidrian.
The biggest of the wereboars, meanwhile, is too deep in his rage to stop his assault on Leandro.
By the way, it has been 1 round since the other wereboar archer apparently expired. So...
Leandro steps back from his raging opponent, breathes a quick prayer, and resumes his attack, Thorn blazing with blue fire.
"'Ware the wight, the evil shade, it will drain your life! Its victims will rise soon," he shouts as the new opponent enters the field.
Res moves into the center of the battle and begins to chant. Gorum's holy symbol starts to glow, and a powerful wave of light emerges in a 40-foot radius, as Res casts Prayer
Irikar asks, "Will the spawn fall if we destroy the original? Any weaknesses we should know about?"
"I know not! I was not a star pupil," Leandro growls, more irritated by the pig-man's stubborn refusal to be sliced into bacon than the question.
Irikar takes another step back and begins to cast a spell to bring some help against the Wraith...
Tybalt growls softly at the roguish attackers, he draws his whip out and flicks it at the one near Volidrian. "We're not going to save your bacon for killing that lady. Taste the crackling.."
Volidrian takes a 5-foot step into the flank with Tybalt and attacks.
