Val - Alhaster "We have supplies and blankets. Help yourself" Val stated to the elves. Val turned to Aire and Kaltos "Singing. Some kind of creatures that charm with their songs like the harpies we have seen" stated Val as he looked towards the water "a harpy like creature only it lives in the water" grinned Val.
The bandits were quick to learn and most got out of the way of the fire. Hoka used her wand again. The others caused 49 hits. Two Groups of Bandits now attacked, one from the South and the other from the West (( The Group that Drake was not attacking )) Tartfluffe took 2 hits Ridge took 2 hits Saemon took 2 hits.
The Bandit Lands Drake sprinted with his boots of speed and changed direction again racing towards another large group of men, and blasting them with a fireball.
The 3 Elves helped themselves to blankets and offered to share some of the rabbit that they had been cooking, before moving into the trees. "Not only charm, but pray on ships" mused Kaltos "Mermen maybe" he suggested.
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.
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
(( 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 ))
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?"
