Vale & Respen React
Vale:
~
I suppose we shall see a fight sooner than we planned. Clearly Dewydd and the Bard believe that jumping into the fray straight away gives them the benefit of surprise. They may be right. ~
Suited up in his armor, Vale eyes the scene through the portal for advantage and strategy. He brandishes the mace of disruption in his strong hand and the axe in his weak hand. He eyes Vega and thinks ahead. Before jumping through the portal, he will pray a quick prayer, summoning all of his martial and divine strength.
However, a plan forms quickly in his mind.
"
Dewydd, let's watch for the briefest of moments. You get one chance to make this work, if indeed this is the thing Laramon spoke of. Vega, if you have power over this device, and it does what you and Respen suggest, be prepared to pull us back in and out. It might allow us to hit and run the female if the initial charge doesn't work. Respen, tend to the hobbit. He's going to get himself killed where he is right now. "
Vale readies his Silence spell, and he sheaths the Axe, opting instead for a smoke-stick.
"Vega, when we go through, I am going to cast a spell to suck the sound out of the area around the she-demon and the orcs. As soon as I do it, I am dropping the smokestick as a marker for the portal. Dewydd, Lathir, Sylver, Respen, if you need to come back through, run for the smokestick. It will obscure the portal as well as any retreat. "
Respen:
~
The Halfling is in a bit of trouble, though I wonder if he realizes yet...those runes.... !!!!~
"
Wait!!! Those runes are an alarm. Vega, put the focus on the halfling. Get close. Less than arm's length. As soon as I grab him, pull back enough that the thing can't detect the portal. "

OOC:

Assuming Vega acts deftly enough, Respen reaches through the portal with his strong arm, grabs the halfling by the back of his cloak and yanks him back into the portal.

Recovering quickly, Respen calmly gives the halfling room, "
Alas do not fear! You were close to their alarm runes on the trees. I only meant to pull you out of harm's way. We are attacking them inside their protective runes. If you wish to join us, come quickly and follow us back. We will land mere feet from where you were. "
Respen grins, then dons his hat of disguise, and changes his visage to a cloaked Margull while preparing to cast Shock and Awe (swift action, up to 7 creatures) upon immediately going through the portal. "
Vale, wait to cast your spell until an instant after mine. I intend to give Dewydd the opportunity to charge these things."
