The journey home

[at]

The barbarians are not entirely unprepared for the attack, but caught between the gate and the fog theyir attack seems to be faltering and several look towards the shaman for guidance.

Vadania can see a priest and several novices at the entrance to the temple as the other defenders rain down sling stones on the barbarian attacking Grale. Further west she can see more fighting, but cannot make out those involved through the palisade

Madaline calls out to Aelos as he arrives, informing him of the situation, though he could see little through the thick fog.


(Tag Throsah and Aelos)

[Rojito]

As Throsah is about to be grappled he lashes out trying to push the barbarian off.

MAP UPDATED

SPOILER: Click to show

Noc Teron manages to knock the first barbarian back briefly but he and his wounded companion quickly recover and move to flank the archer, one landing a solid blow to the shoulder despite Noc Terons quick movements (3 damage - Noc Teron is now on 2hp)

Ka'lion crashes into the group of barbarians bringing one down while another falls nearby with an arrow in his neck. The survivors are still numerous though and quickly surround the wolf stabbing with swords and cleaving with axes.
Leaping over the body of his fallen companion the Shamans guard swings downwards towards this new animal threat - clearly no stray fox - and bludgeons Ka'lion into the ground with his axe while the Shaman calls upon the blessings of the spirits for his champion.
(damage of 4+3+12 = 19

Despite the onslaught Ka'lion fights on, feeling the power of the mask knitting his wounds and filling him with strength (Ka'lion now on 11 hitpoints)

Seeing others arriving the wounded warrior at the door abandons his defensive posture and lashes out with his sword striking down one of his attackers. Several rocks rain down to strike the barbarian standing behind him but fail to fell the large man.

Ka'lion going on full defense steps into the fog and disappears. He's been close enough to see how things look inside the compound. He x4 moves using the building as cover and circles next to Vadania square right behind Vadania from the shamans point of view and in plain sight. Move 240 squares and returns to human form with his bow. No ones targeted the shaman yet, but he should be the primary target from now on. Where Ka'lion could of attacked him up close. He would not of been able to take that many hits again.

2 additional notes: While running Ka'lion is howling insanely. He wants the shaman and his barbarians to see him return to human form when he reappears next to Vadania. He's hoping that they will charge Vadania's location. A double move if I counted it right brings them one space short of attacking but if he returns to wolf form he can charge again. (Sorry Joe Ka'lions forgot they'd be close enough to hit you with his clever plain.) But that just might be what the cities defenders need right now.

You have three options :

1) Withdraw (full round action for a double move - you don't provoke AoOs for leaving the first square)
2) Total defence and a single move action (+4 AC, provokes full AoOs, )
3) Run (4x move, no AC bonus, provokes full AoOs)

The squares are 5 feet - the barbarians are well within charge range of Vadania but busy with you at this moment

[sageaqua]

Ka'lions dead if he stays. Okay. 11 hit points for rage means in truth Ka'lion has 3 hit points left or is it 5. Doesn't matter. 1) Withdraw (full round action for a double move - you don't provoke AoOs for leaving the first square) is the only option that works. That means Ka'lion does a double move using the fog as cover. He'll end up next to Aelos for healing.

Noc Teron

I landed on the Wall near Thosah, not down on the ground with him. As my flame attack is a ranged touch i didn't want to chance melee while i was still very injured. I was picturing the square 3 spots down from there Thosah was standing.
Also, you didn't move me out of the mist XD

Recovering another point of health i ask the spirits for a weapon against these foes, and watch as a kernel of flame appears in the palm of my hand. It take only a moment before it feed on the magic and air to grow bright enough to be a torch.
Casting Produce Flame now, it takes a standard action and i dont need to move as long as i'm up on the wall so i should be good.

(missed you on the map update - though it's a rather vulnerable spot, the palisade is a 7 foot tall row of pointed logs and cross beams, the barbarians can easily attack you from either side if you land on top of it)

[harknail]

Vadania had been about to send Ylva to help Ka'lion when Ka'lion retreated almost as fast as he had appeared. Vadania frowned, if they had been all together and attacking as a group she thought they could defeat this batch of barbarians. But they were finding their way here one by one and attacking as badly outnumbered individuals.

Not having any ideas of how to coordinate the others when she didn't even know where they were, she continued to send arrows at the barbarians by the gate. Perhaps she could thin them out a bit...

If Ka'lion reached me. Aelos almost forgot that Ka'lion could turn wolfish. The wolf form, however, mattered little when it came to magical healing. [dice=8]+5 HP healed.

Aelos will then make sure his weapon is ready and prepare to advance through the fog.[rand=15840406360759037914596753123320217329613748239451403624546725426]

He did - high movement, healing noted on the character page.

Ka'lion ducks away from the fight and flees, his attacker briefly knocked down by another arrow from Vadania.

Ka'lion did a double move. Can he cast cure minor wounds while in animal form or does he lose that action. He could take human form if he needs to. He'll inform Aelos what is on the other side of the fog and inform him where Vadania is attacking from. He is trying to organize a charge.

Ka'lion cannot cast while in animal form (though changing is a swift action) and he's taken all his actions this round anyway.

You can change back to human form and cast once Throsah and the barbarians have acted - i'll give it one more day and then push ahead.

[Rojito]

Throsah displeased at being in the middle of two barbarians, turns to the west and moves away from the battle. Once he reaches 30ft, he will turn around and launch an arrow at one of the barbarians.

MAP UPDATED

SPOILER: Click to show

Throsah ducks away from the barbarians, too nimble for them to catch at first as he spins and downs one of them with an arrow before the second rushes forwards and strikes him (5 damage)

Attacked from all sides the warrior at the gate finally falls, but as the barbarian behind him raises his axe to strike one last blow a flash of light from the south catches him across the chest and strikes him dead - Aelos looks up to see that the performing girl was the source, clearly a spellcaster of some kind.

The barbarians rush through towards the temple, those at the entrance retreating back into the building as the shaman blasts the leading priest aside with a bolt of flame.
Five of the barbarians accompany him holding up shields to hide him from Vadania and Noc Teron as best they can, while four more hold the palisade gateway, two firing arrows at the monk who deftly deflects them.


To the east Vadania jumps as Ylva howls out, and is answered by many more wolves to the south - one of the barbarians is blowing a shrill whistle, likely to signal the others.

Noc Teron

I actually have deflect arrow feat. or did both hit and i already block one?
If i did get hit and staggered, i think cause i was unconscious for a moment my flame spell went out, so i'll drop down on that side an assume fox form again.
If the flame spell didn't go out ill Throw the flames at the target next to Thosah
If i did get to deflect the arrow, then i'll move to flank the target that is attacking Yhrosah and go to touch him with the fire spell.

Yes, sorry - I had mixed you up with the other winged character and thought you had a bow in your offhand.

[harknail]

Does Vadania see Ka'lion charging back out of the fog? This affects her actions if she does.
