Hamin Jezar's page

The commander squirms uncomfortably at Zaza's rebuke, particularly since he doesn't know who you are: only that you are mysterious strangers of unknown position whose questions he has been ordered to answer. He hopes you are here to catch the Taldanes, not evaluate him.

"Perhaps three is a lot. It is not many for a single foe to escape with. The hut is guarded all night and day. I interviewed all of the guards personally and could not determine who kept watch while the bows were stolen or establish exactly when. You may examine the hut, if you wish. Here is a list of 9 guards on duty the three days between counts."

The commander nods at Zaza's explanation. "That sounds correct to me. As for the bows, 3 are missing. They are kept in a locked hut on the south side of the fort."

A look of recognition flashes briefly over Hamin's face before it is concealed. He jerks his head at the guard who, puzzled, closes the door and leaves the five of you inside alone with him.

Sorry, Serenity. I count humanoids for the number of party members.

Once you are alone, Hamin opens up "You are here to do something about the possible Taldanes, yes? Most welcome. We recently tested a new design for a composite longbow. Its range proved quite impressive but it was impractical in the majority of combat situations as the rate of fire was slower. Still, a welcome addition to our arsenal, no?" Hamin shakes his head sadly. "But only two weeks after our tests, our spies observed Taldanes testing the same weapon. The word reached them very quickly, indeed. Unless the Taldanes have placed spies here of extreme magical power, getting word back to Taldor within a matter of three or four days is quite a feat. I suspect they have some sort of device that aids them."

Unsure whom Lo'Laan's speaking to but I'll roll with it.

Hamin's eyes widen a bit. "Expecting you, eh? Why should I be expecting you?"

You only need two boats. I don't count Serenity as a taking up as much space as a medium humanoid as that would make it a real pain to row. Did you decide to purchase the nearly-expired wand of resist energy? Date updated.

Their curiosity piqued given the boredom of their guard duty, the guards murmur quietly to themselves. They open the gate and a tan young man with a hint of stubble on his chin leads you to a large, mud brick structure in the center of the fort. He speaks to the guard outside then the guard lets you into the cool, dimly lit office of the fort's commander. A balding man in his forties looks up questioningly from reading some papers while the guard stands behind you in the open doorway.

"Who are you?"

Attempt to escape from web: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

The other scout successfully frees herself from the web and readies her bow, all the while continuing to bleed.

Bleed damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

A second orc, the one noticed by Rally, moves into K8 to fire at the retreating Cyrus. Pebbles erupts from the ground and swings at her twice.

Readied action and attack of opportunity for making a ranged attack while threatened.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
Damage 1: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
Pebbles' longspear catches in the orcs side, leaving her bleeding.

Attack 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15
Damage 2: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

Pebbles' next attack is deflected by her armor while she brings her bow to bear on him.

Arrow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Her arrow manages to pierce Pebbles' armor and thick hide.
