This mini valley looked to be a good place for an ambush by Grull, Aslan, and Barros. It was then they heard rough voices coming from the valley floor and noticed a thin plume of smoke rising up. The approached the lip of the valley where the road began its descent and noticed a familiar red-haired woman apparently injured hiding behind an overturned wagon that was on fire. Around the flaming wagon was several dead humans and horses. About 60 feet further down the road was another overturned wagon with four hobgoblins behind it, taking their time and firing arrows with flaming oil soaked rags around them. They seemed to be taking their time trying to kill the woman.</p><p></p><p>Immediately the companions were on edge. When they first met this red-haired woman in Talar about a tenday ago, Barros and their fallen companion Charrok had gotten an uneasy feeling about her. But now here she was seemingly hurt and in mortal danger from hobgoblin arrows. So with the bravado that comes from being "heroes", the companions set out to rescue this mysterious woman.</p><p></p><p>Several of the companions made their way down the road to the woman's position. Tala stayed back and decided to head for the tree line to flank the hobgoblins. But once the companions made it down to the woman, all hell broke loose. Immediately, Aslan sensed the woman was not really in danger and Barros used his skill in healing to see that her injuries were fake. "Why do you deceive us?" he asked. And with that Grull attacked the woman dealing her a vicious blow from his greatsword but she seemed to be made of tougher stuff.</p><p></p><p>In the next instant, Red Hand forces came out of invisibility from the tree line, hellhounds were summoned among the companions and just before Tala made it into the trees, the both forests on either side of the road erupted into flames. Tala could now smell the faint stench of oil. The companions had enemies behind them and in front of them and burning trees on either side. It became a fight for their lives.</p><p></p><p>The forces of the Red Hand were comprised of a score of archers, several bugbear barbarians and hobgoblin bladebearers. There were also two clerics of Tiamat and finally the Red Hand forces leader, a bugbear sorcerer. The Red Hand forces mainly targeted Barros and Aslan with their attacks. Grull went after the woman while the bugbear barbarians attacked Barros and Aslan. Mishka went for the archers and Tala split her deadly bow attacks between the archers and the bladebearers.</p><p></p><p>The woman though had no intention of being cut down by Grull. And before Grull could land another blow with his greatsword, she hissed at him baring fangs, and a web shot out from spinnerets on her wrists. Grull found himself entangled in a sticky spider's web. He spent the next couple of seconds tearing himself out of it but that was all the time she needed to run off and disappear. And before Grull could pursue Barros cried out as he fell to the bugbear barbarians' greataxes. Grull tore into the barbarians with his own ferocity and felled one in two powerful blows from his sword. He then positioned himself between the other barbarians and his friend.</p><p></p><p>Meanwhile, Mishka and Tala were working on thinning the ranks of the archers and bladebearers and making some headway in that. And seeing the danger of the spellcasters Aslan turned his druidic magic against them and they fell before gouts of flame and lightning that all seemed to do cold damage but was nonetheless effective.</p><p></p><p>Eventually the companions won the day and defeated the last of the ambushers. Once the heat of battle subsided and they took stock of their injuries, the companions then noticed about a mile out a flying creature bearing a humanoid figure flying off to the north. The mysterious red-haired woman had gotten away.</p><p></p><p>The companions then continued their journey to Brindol. Using Aslan's magic to speed their journey, the companions made the city of Brindol in just a few short days. On the 4th of Flamerule, the found themselves within the walls of the fortified city of Brindol. They immediately noticed that Brindol was definitely a city preparing for war. Most of the shops were boarded up and the only people within the city were soldiers. Within a few minutes of entering the city they were recognized by some of the soldiers as the "Heroes of Drellin's Ferry". The soldiers bade them to see Lord Jarmaath in the Keep.</p><p></p><p>At the Keep, the companions were ushered into the Great Hall which had been converted to a war room. Inside they were greeted by seven people, three they knew and four they did not. The three they knew were Speaker Wiston and Soranna Anitah from Drellin's Ferry who were both very happy to see them and the other was Sellyria Starsinger of the Tiri Kitor elves who was also glad to see the companions. The three then asked about Charrok and were saddened to learn of his death.</p><p></p><p>It was then that one of the other four spoke to the companions. He introduced himself as Lord Jarmaath. He then introduced Lady Kaal, Captain Ulverth and finally Tredora Goldenbrow, aasimar cleric of Lathander. These four, along with Sellyria Starsinger, made up the defense council of Brindol. Lord Jarmaath requested the companions join them in their discussions on how best to prepare the city for the coming horde. He started by saying that all civilians had been evacuated to Dennovar but that there was still much to decide on and do before the horde finally made its way to Brindol. The companions spent the rest of the day and well into the night working with the Defense Council and helping to make key decisions for the defense of the city. One of the last items discussed was the role the companions would play in the coming war. On this the rest of the Defense Council was in agreement. They wish the companions to act as a special forces unit doing going where they were most needed. To this end, they would have a telepathic bond spell cast on them as well as others. It was decided that Barros would be one of the recipients of the spell, as would the spellcaster, a wizard named Immerstal, along with Lord Jarmaath and finally Lady Kaal. By meetings end, the companions could only hope their decisions were the right ones.</p><p></p><p>The only good news from all of this had been reports from the scouts of Brindol that the horde would not reach the city for at least a tenday. To their best estimates the horde would reach Brindol sometime between the 15th and 18th of Flamerule. The companions each did what they could to help with the defense preparations of the city. Aslan was elected to travel to Dennovar to sell off some of the treasure they had acquired and buy anything useful he could find.</p><p></p><p>And finally, the waiting was over. On the 16th of Flamerule, the horde reached Brindol. They stopped and encamped about a mile out from the city. For the next day and half, small bands of goblin worg riders could be seen approaching just outside of bow shot of the city and even the shadow of a red dragon could be seen crossing the city as the beast would make high altitude flyovers.</p><p></p><p>As night fell on the 18th of Flamerule, as predicted, the horde made their move. But due to the companions’ decisions and help, the defenders were ready.</p><p></p><p>The battle started with two groups of hill giants, one on the north side of the city and one near the south side. Both groups of hill giants were positioned about five hundred feet from the walls and were pelting a wall section with rocks in an attempt to make an opening. Lord Jarmaath ordered the companions to take out one group while he sent forces to take out the other. The companions complied and a few minutes later found themselves in a fierce battle with 4 hill giants. The giants at first ignored the companions and concentrated their attacks on the wall which was showing considerable damage but was still standing. But eventually the giants abandoned their attacks on the wall and turned their attentions on the approaching companions. A pitched battle began between the four giants and the five companions. Aslan was able to deal much damage to the giants with his druidic magic. Grull found himself going to toe-to-toe with one of the giants. Tala pelted giants with her deadly bow. Mishka employed hit and run tactics just keep out of reach of the giant he was attacking. And Barros was switching from healing his friends to attacking the giants.</p><p></p><p>The companions eventually defeated the giants though Grull had been seriously injured. The healing resources provided by the city helped bring ham back to battle readiness though. Just afterwards, Barros received a telepathic call from Lord Jarmaath. The force sent to stop the other group of giants failed and now the battle for Brindol was taking place in the streets. He needed the companions to help reinforce the army near the breach point in the city.</p><p></p><p>As the companions rushed to the battle, some buildings closer to the center of Brindol erupted into flames. The fires burned for a few seconds but were put out by the magical rain Aslan had summoned with the staff he had confiscated from forces of the Red Hand in the Ghostlord's Lair. But then another gout of flame engulfed some more buildings. And then the companions knew.</p><p></p><p>The dragon had come to Brindol.</p><p></p><p>And sure enough, a moment later, Barros received from Jarmaath confirmation that a red dragon was near the center of town setting fires to the buildings. He ordered the companions to engage the dragon and either take it out or at least drive it off.</p><p></p><p>The companions made all speed for the dragon. A few minutes later, they turned a corner just as the dragon took flight again. Some buildings were still burning but most were smoldering as the rain put out the fires. The companions leapt into battle.</p><p></p><p>The dragon, as red ones are known to do, started with his fiery breath and then landed near the two obvious spellcasters, Aslan and Barros, and tore into them. The rest of the companions tore into the beast as well. Aslan's ice magics proved very useful against the beast while Grull, Tala and Mishka all were able to do some damage but had difficulty in landing solid hits. But Barros called out to Tempus and cast a mighty spell that brought forth an axe made of ice. He then tore into the dragon dealing some serious damage with his magical ice axe. And before the dragon could make its retreat, Grull finally landed a solid blow with his cold-enchanted greatsword and felled the dragon.</p><p></p><p>The companions were just recovering and healing from the battle with the dragon when they got the call from Jarmaath that the horde was pressing forward down the Dawn Way. Jarmaath was trying to more troops there but they were still trying to hold the horde back in other places. The Lord of Brindol needed the companions to help fortify the Dawn Way from the oncoming attacks.</p><p></p><p>So with much weariness, despite the healing magics, the companions made for the Dawn Way. There they found the last fortified barricade being manned by a score of soldiers of Brindol and a handful of Tiri Kitor rangers. The defenders were taking up positions and the companions joined them. Shortly, a group of hobgoblin warriors supported by two manitcores came charging down the street and took up position about a hundred feet out while opening fire with their bows. The manticores flew forward above the roofs and took up position close the defenders barricade and began to fire their spikes. The hobgoblins seemed contented with allowing the manticores to lead the battle. The companions used both bow and magic to finally fell the beasts. Meanwhile the soldiers and elves traded shots with the hobgoblins. Eventually though, the defenders were able to destroy the hobgoblins and the street quieted.</p><p></p><p>The quiet did not last long though as the whoops of war cries of eight bugbear barbarians pierced the quiet as they came charging down the street towards the barricade. Barros had managed to get over the barricade and in a hidden position. He waited there until the bugbears came into view. Meanwhile as the barbarian approached Aslan blasted them with magic while the rest shot arrows at them. They managed to fell two of them before the barbarians made it to the barricade. That was then Barros cast his spell and infused himself with divine power. He grew in size and lashed out with his axe killing another of the bugbear barbarians. The barbarians then charged Barros and tore into him with their greataxes nearly killing the cleric. Grull made it over the barricade then and attacked the barbarians with his greatsword killing one with two mighty blows. The rest of the barbarians were then dispatched by the rest of the companions and the rest of the defenders.</p><p></p><p>Running out of spells and healing, the companions kept the hope that soon the battle might be over. But this was not the case. After about a minute or so, five large blue lizard like creatures with goblin riders came charging down the street. These creatures, never before seen by any of the companions or the rest of the defenders, seemed to have some power over electricity. With but a glance they were able to conjure electrical arcs amidst the defenders dealing horrific damage. Many of the defenders fell to this atatck. The companions too were not spared from these attacks. Seeing their vulnerability by staying close together, the companions split up with Grull, Mishka and Barros going over the barricade to engage the creatures in melee while Aslan and Tala remained behind the barricade and fired spells and arrows respectively.</p><p></p><p>The goblins fell quickly but the creatures were made of tougher stuff. But they eventually did fall before the combined might of the companions few remaining spells and their weapons.</p><p></p><p>Just after the last creature was dispatched, Barros got word from Lord Jarmaath that their actions were able to help hold the horde back enough to cause them to regroup. He was calling for all defenders to regroup in Cathedral Square and asking the companions as well when the telepathic communication with Jarmaath was cut off. All attempts by Barros to reestablish it failed.</p><p></p><p>With much apprehension, the companions made their way to Cathedral Square, afraid to find out the reason for Jarmaath's sudden silence.</p><p></p><p>(To be continuned next post...)</p></blockquote><p></p>
