The other group of men attacked by Drake moved out of the way, but he was able to cause some damage 42 hits.

Hoka kept using her Wand.

The others caused 103 hits.

Two groups of bandits attacked the Heroes.

Ridge took 4 hits.

The Groups has the next move.

 

The Bandit Lands
Drake had his fun cast burning hands at the the bandits

 

Drake was able to keep the one group away and caused some good damage on them.

The other group moved in too close for Hoka to use her wand, so she also used Burning Hands.

The others caused 43 hits.

The 2 Groups of Bandits attacked but all missed.

The Heroes have the next move.

 

The Bandit Lands
(Boots of speed move how fast?)
Drake helps Hoka retreat and cast another burning hands at the group trying to get at her.

 

(( They are more for Long Distance, but they are allowing you to move from one group to another and use an attack within the same turn ))

Drake was able to force the one group away, causing 126 hits in the process.

Hoka used her wand on the Group that Drake had just left causing 17 hits.

The others were able to kill the Southern Group of Bandits.

The Heroes have the next move

 

The Bandit Lands
Drake will blast the group he just hit with a fireball (( what is left))

 

(( Are you sure you want to use a Fireball on that Group? ))

(( The group close to Drake numbers 19 men. The other group numbers 27 men ))

 

The Bandit Lands
(( I was loosing track ))
I will cast burning hands again

 

Drake caused great damage on the group closest to him

Hoka caused 22 hits on the other group.

The others charged the Group not engaged by Drake causing 46 hits.

The Bandits kept attacking

Justinian took 4 hits

The Heroes have the next move

 

The Bandit Lands
Drake out of burning hands raced away from the group in front of him and away from our group then turned and blast the same group again with a fireball

 

Drake caused 22 hits, split between the group, Hoka and the 2 Thieves.

Hoka, Ridge and Saemon caused 25 hits.

The others caused 50 hits.

The 16 remaining Bandits from both groups started to run towards the Ruined Tower.

 

The Bandit Lands
(I hit our group I thought they were attacking the bigger group? my bad I never realized our group had split up ))
"Run them down " Drake shouted and he raced after the fleeing men

 

(( Drake was protecting Hoka and the 2 Thieves - that's why I asked if you wanted to use a Fireball ))

Before the Heroes could react to the running Bandits they spotted 4 groups of horse men, each about 25 strong. The group nearest the Tower was flying a banner.

The Heroes have the next move.

 

The Bandit Lands
(What is the banner?)
(Damage report please)
(How far away are they and what direction are the groups coming from)

 

Justinian looks over the group and reports

Hoka 2 hits
Alarick 1 hit
Tartluffe 5 hits
Thalia 3 hits
Justinian 10 hits
Julius 8 hits
Ravender 13 hits
Ridge 10 hits
Saemon 7 hits.

It was difficult to see what was on the Banner. It was mainly black with a red splodge in the middle.

The 4 groups of Horsemen were coming from all the main directions of the compass and were well out of shouting range.

 

Percy's Tower
" Tartluffe do you think we could take the tower before they get here, if we could we would be able to cover you from the top with wands and it would neutralize their horse, if we get up a floor their wizard would not be able to use the cloud kill but I could it would flow down the stairs like a water fall. We are almost out of combat spells, I have a magic missile , a lightning bolt and a cloud kill plus wands. Hoka has a fireball and wands. We would be trapped until we dealt with them but it may be preferable to being caught in the open. The big question is can we take the tower?"

 

Val - Alhaster

Val smiled "That may make our task easier if these sea creatures have taken everything of value from the shipwrecks and brought it to their lair. Now we just have to find their lair" continued Val with a chuckle.

"I think rather than searching the ships, we should search for under water caves or large coral reefs. Something that could be used as a home" thought Val. "Aire, how does that continual light spell of yours work? Could you cast it on torches so we have light under water?" asked the fighter.

 

"It depends on who is in the tower" replied Tartluffe, "We might be trapped outside and not be able to use our Horses" he added.

The 16 men on foot were getting closer to the tower. The 4 Groups of horse men were moving closer but still outside of any spell range.

 

"Well I can try, but I am not sure how the water will affect the torch" Aire replied.

"We could wait to hear for any singing" suggested Gill, "We might be able to follow the sound".

 

Percy's Tower
"Well if we cannot clearly reach the tower and gain the first floor, we will have to run and we have no place to run to I say we go for the tower every one should have there potions out and ready Speed, Heroism, invisibility what ever you got make sure everyone has one , Justinian you have that staff of command use it. Drake said " This is it it's all or nothing we have to do this now. Are you with me?
