Evera looks at the battle from the ridge. From her vantage point between the trees, she can see the clearing below where fireballs are flying and there is so much shouting.
She crouches low with her longbow already in hand and she tries to move stealthily through the terrain.
Her blonde hair is tied into a loose braid that falls over one shoulder. Her green eyes study the movement. Her armor is not elegant, but dulled by travel and etched faintly. She has a composite longbow and small ioun stones are orbiting lazily around her head.
Evera narrows her eyes as she doesn’t know these warriors. She doesn’t know the barbarian woman, nor the figure who hovers mid-air, nor the fox-faced man throwing spells. But the signs are clear enough that the women in black robes, and the skeletal soldiers, and that towering armored giant radiate the kind of malice that needs no introduction.
Ulricha stands her ground against the onslaught, weathering the storm like a titan, unscathed as she vents her fury upon her new opponent.
Round 34
Ulricha hits one of the skeletons twice smashing it to the ground.

The large armorclad barbarian focuses on his copy, guiding its attack. Which fails to strike her.
vs. Xan
The sword of the skeletal champion slides down Xandarian's armor.
Evera decides to enter the battle and immediately starts to attack the woman in black robes to her right.
She first concentrates to imbue her bow with magical energy!
She then 5 ft steps to be within 30 ft and starts shooting her arrows including her spell combat casting.

Then Evera casts Clay Skin on herself during her Spell Combat so that her skin becomes as thick and tough as clay.
Jorrast tries to use the wand again, targeting the enemy without risking his allies.
Seeing some of the barbarians approaching the group he flies across the river and down to the ground.
"Alice, Please stay in range. These fools need to be dispatched."
Round 35
Xandarian says a silent prayer of thanks to Cayden Cailean for having the forethought to cast that protective spell. The paladin divides his attack between both skeletal warriors.

The people in the tent scream in pain as the tent catches fire. People begin running away from the fight as the barbarians charge into the fray.
Arrows fly down at the closest one, all of them piercing into her flesh. She cries out in pain and quickly looks up at the hill.
One of the barbarians throws a javelin at Jorrast as the others move in and attack with their spears.
The barbarians attack...
The big guy moves forward, getting close to Alice and Jorrast.
Xandrarin hits the red skeletal champion but has little effect besides a broken bone.

All three of them take cover from you. A few curt commands and several of the slaves come stand as meat shields also pulling the arrows out for her.
A multicolored explosion of leaping, ricocheting energy hits the hill. Then a cloying miasma of greasy darkness. As one of the bears heads up the hill.
Round 36
Xandarian frowned momentarily when his strike didn't take, so he doubled his efforts.
Alice flies over to Jorrast and chants to prolong his protective luck.
Jorrast drops in and targets one of the barbarians with his full round of attacks.
Evera continues shooting her arrows at the woman in black although she’s behind cover, but she includes her spell combat casting in her shooting.
DEADEYE BOWMAN (Religion: Erastil): When you are using a longbow, if only a single creature is providing soft cover to your target, your target does not receive the +4 bonus to AC.

Then Evera casts Vanish on herself and becomes invisible. She then 5 ft steps back so nobody knows where exactly Evera is around her original spot.
Round 36
The pink barbarian is stunned and drops his spear. Jorrast puts down the pain and drops the pink barbarian with an extra kick to go elsewhere but then misses the kick.
Xandrain misses on his first strike and the second only breaks a few more bones that seem to mend themselves from the damage somewhat.
vs. Xandarian
Alice continues to chant and stays above the battle.
No sign of Wolf or the prisoners.

The barbarians attack...
Armag charges and strikes at Jorrast...
(/17–20)
Armag charges and strikes at Jorrast but misses him with the overhead strike. Water and dirt fly everywhere as the huge greatsword slams into the muddy side of the stream.
The barbarian in blue utter fails,

Who has the protective hex on? Jorrast, Ulricha, anyone else?
Round 36
Alice puts evil eye hex on grey barbarian SE of Jorrast, for -4 to attack, and chants to prolong that and Jorrast's protective luck.
Round 37
Same hex on yellow barbarian near Jorrast, and chant.
Round 37?
Seeing the behemoth slam his huge sword down Jorrast launches himself up and away as fast as he can go.
Round 37
Overall, the devil bear did the most damage to Xandarian. The half-azata takes a 5-ft. step away from the skeletons and the fiendish bear.
Xandarian uses two of his Lay on Hands to Channel Energy.
Ulricha continues with her fury, attacking the Babau demons first, as she keeps track of the advance of Armag across the river. She would soon need to turn her attention to him and the mighty bears accompanying him.
If Jorrast withdraws, Alice withdraws upwards 20 feet, then 10 feet towards the other side Jorrast is moving to.
If straight upward invokes aoo,
Evera continues shooting her arrows at the large giant man. She includes her spell combat casting in her shooting. This action breaks her invisibility spell.

Then Evera casts mirror image on herself and steps back again.

Evera targets the large figure in black. Arrows fly down at him, all of them piercing into his flesh. He cries out in pain and quickly looks up at the hill.

One of the barbarians throws a javelin at Jorrast as the others move in and attack with their spears.
The barbarians attack take direction and seem to charge up the ridge at the Big Fellows suggestion.
Alice withdraws with Jorrast, seeing the large blade come flying up to hit her. It smacks her hard and cuts into her chest quite a few inches blood pours from the open wound.
The barbarians and skeletons attack and slam their weapons upon Ulricha to little effect.
One claw critically hits Ulricha for 28 damage before DR making a grievous wound.
---
Xandarian gets hit critically once with a shining longsword and once with a meager longsword, a total of 35 damage. They leave a bleeding wound on his side and one on his arm.

The green fiendish bear provokes from Ulricha. The green and black fiendish bears begin to climb up the steep wall. The black robed women move toward the melee of Ulricha, staying in cover. The large man moves down following his barbarians, taking cover behind the prisoner's tent, "Come heal me and get that ranger now!"
Xandarian channels to harm the undead around him and Ulricha. Most of them taking full damage and one of them even falls to the ground in a pile.
Ulricha finishes off the first demon before her, then in round 37 she focuses on the other demon. It bleeds but does not go down yet.
Round 38
Evera sees the bear in front of her and realizes that it is time to flee.
She concentrates on her witchcraft and her body becomes weightless and she tries to fly away into the air away from the bear with a tumbling movement to prevent the beast from hitting and grabbing her.
She then circles to gain some elevation and tries to fly 20 ft up into the air so that she is out of reach of the bear.

Round 38
Xandarian fights on.
Round 38
The skeletons, barbarians, and demons continue to attack. A few more wounds appear more frequently as neither of you are protected anymore.
The robed ladies begin casting more summoning spells in the air.
Round 39
The fight continues but the large man returns with barbarians on his flank.
The red pentagrams fully appear and out of the symbols appear Fiendish flying eagles.
Round 39
Xandarian what is your birthday wish, I think your group might need it! Standard wish protocols!
Xandarian raises his voice to the heavens! "CAYDEN CAILEAN! Get my party and all the prisoners out of here! Back to Elkheart!"
Xandarian and Ulricha are whisked away from the battle.
The half-azata and his hare run out of the tavern door and look around.
"Well, I'll be dipped!" Xandarian laughed. "We're back in Greenwatch! HaHA!"
The paladin's brow furrowed, then continued to look around. "W-Where's everyone else? The prisoners? The Party?!"
Arrows, insults and spells are flung at Jorrast and Evera. Alice I am assuming is still a pixie and is invisible again. But the amount of damage is negotiable if you flee.
Alice shifts Jorrast away with her dimensional hex.
"OH SH|T!!" Xandarian motions the barbarian to follow him as he runs the streets of Greenwatch to alert the council.
Fleeing is the 'to do', hehe. Can't proceed my life's work and pilgrimage when i'm dead.
"Come on Jorrast, we're getting the heck out of here! Prepare on our own territory and all that jazz, as they say."
Jorrast flees with Alice flying away from the fight. "Alice which way? I cant see you."
"North, Jorrast, towards the giant oak tree near the stream. We move away from there."
Jorrast takes fox form and flies as directed by Alice.
"I agree. Run for home. That big one is too powerful. And we got the prisoners away."
Jorrast flies to the North, turning into a fox and becoming an even smaller target.
Once he and the figure following him are a good 200 feet away you see no signs of pursuit.
As you wander through the forest you jump at most sounds. Luckily none of the barbarians find you for minutes... You get lost and hear several bands of barbarians come close to you. x5
As 30 barbarians rain down upon you what do you do?
|
I worry about Alice but feel that she is safer than I and the prisoners.
As the 30 barbarians rush down upon us, I pull out a scroll and use the quickened spell. Teleporting the prisoners with myself to the teleportation circle in the Greenwatch Castle.
One minute, she is wading through enemies, the next, in the tavern in Elkheart with Xandarian. As he mentions the others, she comes to the realization that whatever spell the paladin had managed had taken them from the battlefield, leaving the others.
When Wolf appears at the castle with the freed prisoners, she breathes a sigh of relief only to realize that the others were still unaccounted for. "Is there a fast way to get back to them or bring them here?"

He would direct his words at a guard about imminent threat. As the barbarian army was being roused. The council would want to form a response to this threat.
About 30 minutes later you are called. In attendance is Bearik, Quince, and Sulvanii. They want you to explain the threat in your own words.
Evera flies as fast as she can to follow the fox!
“This battle is a true struggle! I hope they get out of there!” she thinks.
Jorrast flies along with Alice and Evara until they are fairly certain that they've escaped. He flies down to the ground. "The flight hex isn't unlimited. I'd like to save a couple of minutes if needed for later. How fast can you move on foot? I want to stay ahead of the barbarians, especially that big leader of theirs!"
Quince and Sulvanii nod and agree. We quickly begin to give orders and speak on our rings.
Saren and the Droversons are there. Recall Jorne from his quest. Sulvanii dispatch your defenders. We ride in two hours. We will setup on Fort Drelev and plan from there.
Run̈ing as you fly... The Elven woman you dont recognize falls behind. She goes 120 feet as you fly/run at 240. After a minute you are sure you are safe and descend.
