The journey home

[namklim]

So I derped and forgot I ALREADY had Augment Healing as a feat. I thought it had sounded familiar. Any other suggestions? I want to say there was another one I was considering from Complete Divine, but I don't remember what it was.

Since most of the patrons have left, Aelos will go wake the wizard. After waking him, he'll head outside and try to figure out where he'll be needed.

If I'm understanding you right, Aelos is unaware of anything particularly valuable to the barbarians in the temple, but there was a group of citizens heading towards the temple, are they trying to hide out from the barbarians, or are they trying to defend the temple. If they are trying to hide out, Aelos will probably move with them after waking the wizard.

[sageaqua]

Your a few chapters out of the same timeline as the rest of the group I think.

Is a single move enough to get clear of the fog

The fog is before you, not around you. A single run move will take you through the fog but dangerously close to the barbarians (as vadania has already moved forwards a little) - alternatively a run move to the east through an alleyway will grant you a clear shot at the barbarians to the east but completely obstruct line of sight to the main gate.

It is possible to climb any of the nearby buildings as a full action to get above the fog, DC25 without a rope.


Aelos rushes to wake the wizard but finds him gone, he must have risen earlier in the day and departed without telling anyone.

The priest is surprised the barbarians would attack the temple, while there was much wealth to be looted they were a superstitious bunch and had never in the past sought open warfare with the church or the town of Clearwater.

Doubtless though there would be many civilians there sheltering from the attack under the eyes of the gods - as Aelos leaves the tavern he can see an unnatural mist rising above the streets to the north near the temple, though he was yet some distance away.

[sageaqua]

Ka'lion will look around for either a rope, a chain, a long scarf to climb any poles with or tall trees or stairways up. If not a high gate or fence would do. They should be an easier climb. He'll shoot another barbarian on the roof. How are they climbing up?

Ylva and Throsah to act, and then the Barbarians before Ka'lion

Glancing around Ka'lion sees no Barbarians on the rooftops above, though he does see the oddly agile hunchback and the performing girl on buildings to his left.

The homes here have no obviously easy climbing point - though doubtless rough brickwork or a drainage pipe could be found with a little searching (one round to search, no test needed, drops climb DC by 5). None have external staircases though some have balconies.

The barbarians climbing the palisades appeared to be employing basic implements and raw strength.

[Rojito]

Throsah pulls the arrow from his flesh and throws it away as he moves closer to the barbarians still trying to scale the wall. Once getting closer yet he will release another arrow at whomever is on top.

Moveing to get hopefully within 30ft, will let you add in the +1 hit and +1 dmg if i get close enough.

Throsah approaches the edge of the building he stands upon - there is another he could leap to easily with the aid of his wings ... if he chose to reveal them.

(Throsah is on the eastern side of the street close to the shaman and archers - those climbing the wall are off to the west)

[harknail]

Ylva is following Vadania, protecting her from any rush from the Barbarians.

So saving her phase for a enemy to come within reach. She'll keep doing that until melee combat starts. The fox doesn't count because it isn't a known ally.

[at]

Wounded, at surprised at the ferocity of the fox the shield bearer lashes out with his weapon but fails to catch his agile foe. Behind him the shaman mutters a few words and the warriors wounds begin to heal.

Two more arrows fly towards Throsah, one lodging in his armour though without harm. He can see that several of the barbarians to the west have cleared the palisade and are moving to flank the defenders.

Behind Throsah, to the left of the gathered group, there is a yelp of suprise from the girl on the roof, a bright flash, and the sound of a sizzling impact - Throsah glances back in time to see a barbarian pitching off the roof of the building behind, two more in the street below him flanking the party as yet unseen.

The magical fog continues to block all sight to the entrance, though once flanked the defence is likely to falter.

Hopeing the darkness will hide his wings, Throsah launches himself off the roof, gliding towards the next roof. He releases another arrow at the people closest to the top.

"Captain. Give me a boost. If I can see the attacking barbarains. I can hit them." says Ka'lion shouldering his bow.

Just curious as to what Captain Ka'lion is talking to.

[sageaqua]

Vadania is the parties leader as you didn't want to follow Ka'lion. Your the parties captain. We get paid better if you have a good tittle. Hopefully you earn it.

But Vadania has headed off to the east to get a clear shot and isn't anywhere near Ka'lion. Also she's not going to respond to "Captain", thinking that you are talking to a leader of the guard.

GM, was Vadania able to move east enough to see those climbing the walls? I don't remember seeing a response to shot them last turn, and this turn they are over the wall. Does Vadania know that yet?

Yes - with no shot after the fog sprang up Vadania was able to run through an alley to the east and now has a clear shot - though only a few remain on this side of the barricade, some 60 feet from her new position.

Noc Teron

I understood the purpose of the shaman and knew he would be my greatest probelm for as long as he could pull on the elements to heal this swarm of muscle. Attacking directly would get his focus of magic on me though, and my magic defense where not prepared in the least yet. I look to the Barbarian right in front of me, i would have to chance that my physical skills could do a bit more. I try to deliver a pair of swift blows stunning they monstrosity in front of me.

Noc Teron leaps between the barbarians legs attempting to briefly cripple him with a blow but the warrior is wary for such an attack and guards himself well. Seeing an opening the monk quickly nips at the mans ankles and ducks away again from another defensive swing - but the barbarians wounds are healing magically almost as quickly as they are inflicted and he's starting to look annoyed...

Ka'lion looks around as his call for help is not answered and finds that the elf and her wolf have moved away to the east. Madaline arrives to try and help him up the wall seeing the sense of firing over the fog bank but he is unable to scramble higher than a window sill on the upper floor before running out of hand grips.

The window is fine. Ka'lion well first try to force open the window. If he can't open it. He'll break it and climb inside. He'll then reach down and help Madaline in next. He can always apologies later. But lives are on the line and he is not as strong as most barbarians. There is most likely a stairway up inside.

Realizing that she's too late, still she shoots at one of those not yet over the wall. As she fires she calls out loudly, "They are over the wall!"

---------MAP ADDED---------

Each square is 5 feet.
Green squares are players, Magenta for friendly NPCs
Red are barbarians, grey is the fog.
Blue/purple fror buildings, yellow for the wall

The barbarian hit by Vadanias arrow staggers and then falls, but the situation is grim. Throsah can see the defenders trying to pull back to the temple as the barbarians push their advantage but one man stand in their way blocking the entrance - as each Barbarian moves to struck they are turned away by some invisible force.

Those already over the wall charge in behind him but are similarly repelled, though who knows how long the magic will last.

Throsah is interrupted by a blast of fire that slams into his chest, the shaman below holding his hand before him wreathed in flame. (7 fire damage)

The other barbarians with him get ready to move in support of their companions but the fox amongst them continues to attack. Roaring with anger the shamans guard throws aside his shield and strikes out with his weapon held in both hands clubbing the fox to the floor - miraculously the creature survives the blow of the battle axe... barely (11 damage)

The two surviving barbarians which had flanked to the west then come charging out behind the group, one hurling an ax at Ka'lion (4 damage) while his companion charges into the pair. Madaline ducks low under the swing and slams her shoulder into the charging barbarian, not enough to knock him down but enough to delay him for a moment as Ka'lion recovers his wits.


2 barbarians attacking Madaline and Ka'lion (only one in melee at this moment)
Noc Teron caught between three barbarians, including an elite.
