[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7288065, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “11 PLAY REVISITED” SEGMENT 140 “DROAAM FORCES” ORALUNE 1, 998 “I believe you have wandered onto Breland lands……” begins Nadia. She carefully activates her powers of the mind and targets what she hopes is a weak minded gnoll. “…. By mistake. I ask you return and withdraw your military presence.” “Our scouts saw you spying on us. You are Breland spies. Droaam’s law- all spies are to be killed.” =Commander is military leader. Others…. Bothersome adventurers?= “Breland can say the same of you.” =black skinned elf…. Cursed?= The commander fumes in frustration. He wants to lash out but knows to do so may start an international event. One he has long expected to happen at this post. Play understands and knows enough about Nadia that she is using her unique abilities to search for details in the minds of the gnolls. That said- he is ready to strike. Avireal finds the entire confrontation strange. They encroach on Play’s land. Either chase them away or destroy them outright. It was how one protected their land in Xen’drik. Deciding to try a more friendly method of diplomacy, Nadia tries something different. “I am Nadia of Breland. Who do I speak to?” =She admits to be of the enemy!= “I am Graylarr- Sgt of the Mountain Howlers of Droaam.” “Nadia… is this a good idea……” growls in aggravation John. He tightens and adjusts his grip of his clubs over and over. “Not now Play. I am trying to avoid an international incident…..” She whispers harshly. She notes that the commander is no better. Suddenly there is a sharp and jarring sound of a bow string. All turn to Avireal holding her crossbow. About thirty feet away is a dead Gnoll. Standing by him are a few dozen angry gnolls and some more Ogres. Their howls and growls of fury are hard not to understand. “Attack the murderers of our kind!” snarls the lead gnoll. Avireal drops her crossbow (which to a string stays with her) and pulls out her scimitar. She drops a gnoll with several vicious criss-crossing swings of her blade. Play leaps out and rolls into a series of strikes that drop a gnoll with each successful strike. All that replays in his mind is the death of his father at the hands of a Gnoll …. A member of Venom. The gnolls fire a volley of arrows. Commander Daniels is struck twice. One arrow is lodged at the base of his neck where the armor stops ( Crit with arrows HURT! ) One arrow glances off Nadia but only bruises her arm. This and the mental cry of agony from Commander Daniels snaps her into action. The intelligent bow she wields demands blood of the ogres. As she moves to grab it she mentally blasts the gnoll before her. It stuns him and knocks him stumbling back and whining. Avireal follows up her first kill with a slice from right ear to left hip (crit w/scimitar) and as the blood splatters the gnoll beside her, the blade slides in and out of it also. Two more down. Play, with wet eyes from the memories of watching his father taken down saving the King, takes down three more gnolls with vicious strikes. The gnolls try to recoup.

As the arrows strike true, electrical currents run through the giant-kin. Avireal and Nadia concentrate on the ogres as Play wipes out the gnolls…. Even the fleeing ones. Nadia is forced to Psionically dominate Play. His emotional rage had him chasing the few survivors back into Droaam. “I am truly sorry John. I am.
