I am known as Foradass. I am the spirit of a great forest on a far away plane. I have joined in a symbiotic bound myself to this one. Motioning to Andlat I provide him with protection, and his arcane powers enhance my own.
This one? I do have a name my friend.
A little chuckle escapes Mitleid."Well lets get going.... and young man... what is your name?"
And yet you did not feel the need to share it or my name with your new ally. Your brother has not forgotten his manors, even in this place you should remember yours.
As you move on you are quickly glad that Lann came with you. He knows the twisting of the tunnels and never falters on his march toward the traitors. He knowledge of the caves impresses even the dwarf."Here we are," Lann motions to a single tunnel, "I am not a warrior. I will wait here for you to take you back. Good luck!"
The tunnel he sends you down is only five feet wide, so the five of you must walk in a strait line. Eventually it opens up to barricades made of heaped loose rocks and wooden boards bisect this cavern. Beyond the barricades, a wooden screen covers the lower half of a tunnel mouth. Two mongrelmen stand guard. One of them points and howls. The other one joins in and they take offensive stances.
"As I said, lass, thas' me brother Andlat." Dwarven Morgrym nods at the half-elven Andlat.
Morgrym closes in on the Mongrelmen at speed, his speed once again restored after his recent recuperation.
Mitleid looks at her enemys. They stand before me, they want to stop me? I pitty those Fools!
With determination she walks closer ready to attack if given the opportunity.
Well, I guess we wont be talking then.
Nossac sees his companion charge into battle and readies his bow. When one of the hostiles attacks he launches his arrow at them.
Foradass cannot get close enough to attack, and neither can the second mongrelmen. A one-on-one battle begins between Morgrym and the first mongrelmen, as the barricades are too close together.
Morgrym parries the attack and brings his ax down on the mongrelmen. Suddenly, an arrow cuts into the creature, and Mitlied switches out with morgrym. Between the three of them, one mongrelmen dies. The second one back away from the heroes slightly.
Facing the next Mongrelman Mitleid again let´s her sword speak.
Nossac prepares another arrow and lets it loose again as soon as the creature tries to attack.
It finds it's mark and tears into the creatures flesh.
Nossac's arrow drops the second mongrelmen which goes down with a screech.
With the guards out of the way it is a clear shot to the only door in sight.
With a quick incanation Mitleid checks for magical auras.
Moving carefully closer she checks for any surprises.
Foradass, one of your four eyes sees better than both of mine, make sure the door is clear.
Andlat casts resistance on Foradass just to be safe.
Foradass will move forward up to the door, and look and listen for anything out of the ordinary.
Morgrym spends a full round inscribing a glow glyph on his shield
"Careful lad - that screamin' should ha' bought us a mess o' trouble."
Mitleid looks at the dward and smiles:"I hopy you mean lass?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"I was talkin' to Foradass, las. He's the one with his ear pressed to a door."
Nossac readies another arrow and aims it at the door. Then he looks around to see if there are any other passages into the room.
"Aim high, plan well, and strike while the iron is hot, for unprepared metal shatters from a hammer’s blow"
Andlat draws his scythe and casts resistance on himself, if time permits, he will also begin casting it on each of his companions.
Mitleid will cast Shield of Faith just as a precaution.
They are preparing for combat, be ready for anything. Nossac says preparing his arrow for the first hostile figure he sees.
Morgrym charges through the opening into a large room where four mongrelmen are preparing for battle. The raise their clubs and charge.
Morgrym rushes through, his battleaxe swinging back behind him to allow him to really build up the power on his strike. When he goes to pull it forward, however, he finds it heavier than he had expected. The shaft slips a little in his hand as he pulls it down, spoiling his aim.
Mitleid will also charge on her turn, trying to charge into flanking position but in any case trying to support any character engaged.
Nossac Launches an arrow at a Mongrelman trying to flank Morgrym.
Andlat will send an acid splash at one of the other Mongerelmen, try to get his attention away from his charging companions.
If there is one in range Foradass will charge it, using this long reach on his bite for added benefit.
As you burst through the door the Mongrelmen on the other side pounce. The first swings at Morgrym . Morgrym raises his shield and blocks the blow, but the weight of the of the blow knocks Morgrym off balance enough that he misses with his counter attack. Foradass has no luck with his attack either, and a second mongrel attempts to club Foradass but his scales are too thick for the club to do damage too. Andlat hurls a ball of acid at the beasts but it falls short. The third mongrel attempts to attack Morhrym from behind but again Morgrym manages to block it. Nossac fires an arrow that flies into the neck of a the last mongrel but Mitleid charges and slices deep into it. It still stands and tries to counter attack against Mitleid but the pain of the sword and the arrow is too much and he misses.
Andlat will try to hit the mongrelman again, hopefully his aim is better this time.
Foradass will 5 foot if he needs to so he can get into full attack range of the mongrelman he missed before.
Trying to find a place to flank Mitleid again slashes at a mongrelman, if possible a wounded.
Morgrym pivots and squats, his axe scything out at knee level
Nossac launches an arrow at the Mongrelman who struck Morgrym's shield.
Morgryms axe cuts through the legs of one mongrel while Foradass's tail finishes it off. The other Mongrel turns to run, heading for the wall on the southwest side of the room. He manages to run far enough to make it to the door way.
"Heh heh - thanks for tellin' us where ye' friends are, lad."
Morgrym runs after the Mongrelmen on his stumpy little legs.
Mitleid checks if the wounded is truly dead and gives a quick prayer to Iomedea to watch for her opponent and a thanks to a battle won. Folding the mongrels hands and dragging it to a corner she continues to move on.
Nossac launches an arrow at the fleeing creature's back.
Nosaac's arrow flies into the back of the creature and pierces it's heart. The Mongrelmen makes to to the entry way though, and you hear two more screeching from in side the door way.
