Dishevelled male humans- beggars, each one wields an improvised weapon of some sort- from table legs, to broken bottles, one of them has a sackful of turnips. The gang lurch forward- toward the adventurers, they’re about to bring a whole new meaning to the term 'aggressive begging.' As if that wasn't enough Erais cries out, points up and left, a black smudge detaches itself from its inky roost amongst the roofs, and flutters down to join in the fun- a Shadow Bat Swarm. The adventurers hate swarms. The Bad Guys... 460 XP Level 1 Encounter. Human Beggar Level 2 Minion x10 Shadow Bat Swarm Level 3 Lurker [sblock=The Monster Manual] [CENTER][url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/40504969@N08/8660303333/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8126/8660303333_0e9d47e7ef_o.png[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/40504969@N08/8660301055/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8123/8660301055_3eb39e51db_o.png[/img][/url][/CENTER] [/sblock] The inky black bat storm moves remarkably quickly, in seconds it has surrounded Riardon- swarming the eladrin, trying to bite him- somehow the ranger ducks, dives and darts and miraculously avoids any harm. Kathra meanwhile rushes forward Cleaves with her warhammer at the nearest pair of human beggars, and misses. The dwarf is not happy, and so tries again with her Passing Attack (after an Action Point)- two of the beggars are smashed to the cobbles, they’re not getting up ever. The rest of the beggar’s react- Kathra is smashed on the back with a wooden plank, hit on the side with a lead pipe, jabbed in the gut with a table leg, lashed on the leg with a rusty chain and stabbed in the arm with a rusty knife. She manages to dodge the artillery- three of the beggars move back and throw a bottle, a cobblestone and a turnip, respectively, at her. Kathra looks like she’s in a world of hurt, and is bloodied by the beggar minions. Tira however concentrates her efforts on the shadowy bat swarm, her Cursed Eldritch Blast strikes the flying vermin- but to no great affect. Moments later Riardon extricates himself from the swarm, not without paying the price however, the bats frenzy and the eladrin is bitten numerous times- the creatures seem to have injected some cold and dark toxin in to him- he shivers and shakes furiously. Riardon is taking ongoing 2 necrotic and cold damage from the swarm. The eladrin quickly grabs out his bow, notches an arrow, and fires in to the thick of the swarm, and somehow contrives to miss everything. Erais, the Sunlord, mutters a prayer and Kathra’s wounds heal over; he then launches a radiant beam at the bats- sears a great hole in the thickest part of the maelstrom. The bats are further damaged as they’re vulnerable to radiant power. Moments later, as Erais watches on several of the bats that he presumed to be dead, suddenly right themselves and flap back up off the cobbles and back in to the swarm- the thing is regenerating, Erais screams a warning to his compatriots. WHOOOOSH! The swirling bats suddenly burst out in every direction, their wings blinding all those within their reach not quick enough to shield their eyes- which turns out to be just Riardon, the eladrin staggers hurt again and now unable to see anything. Riardon is blinded and on six hit points only. Kathra meantime takes another two of the beggars down with her warhammer Cleave, and in return is stabbed again and smashed by another beggar wielding what looks to be a horse’s leg. Kathra is now surrounded by six beggars all trying to kill her. Tira moves a little further back, launches another Cursed Witchfire attack at the bat swarm, which misses, and then tries again with an Eldritch Blast (after spending an Action Point), the swarm burns, but all too briefly. Riardon staggers backwards, trying desperately to see what’s going on- where is he in relation to the swarm? The bat venom continues to eat away at him from within- chilling him to the bone in the process. The eladrin sucks up the hurt and gets his Second Wind Erais shuffles back from the swarm, and then launches a Sacred Flame at the pesky bats, another miss. The Sunlord tries harder, much harder (after an Action Point)- the swarm is suddenly engulfed in a Cascade of Light- it burns. And when the light is gone the flying vermin have lost over half of their number, the swarm is bloodied- but still regenerating however. Erais mutters yet another prayer and Riardon’s wounds are gone in an instant. The bat swarm moves back to menace Riardon some more, the eladrin is the most vulnerable- what with being blind, he’s bitten a myriad times. Kathra continues to keep the six remaining beggars at bay, although she takes a few more hits in the process; the dwarf takes a brief moment to clear her head, taking her Second Wind, ready for more action. Tira is bitten by the bats, she moves back and unleashes another Cursed Eldritch Blast, alas the bats are far too quick and outmaneuver her power. Riardon, still blinded, is likewise bitten some more- he staggers, and then disappears, his Fey Step teleports him away from the danger- working on instinct he also unleashes another arrow- which alas flies high, wide and handsome. A burst of flame suddenly engulfs the swarm, Erais’ Sacred Flame- the swarm is decimated, destroyed. The players are wreathed in smiles; the swarm could have done a lot more damage than it did. Kathra smashes another two of the beggars down- she’s proved adept at keeping them at bay so far, although she’s hit again with the table leg. Tira, still subject to the bat toxin, manoeuvres away from the beggars and launches her Eldritch Blast- another one of the disheveled humans bursts in to flames, and soon after expires. Riardon mean time is out of the action, still blind, the eladrin glugs down a healing potion and at last shakes off his visual impairment. Erais fires off a Sacred Flame at one of the beggars but fails to connect. Kathra fights on, misses her enemies this time, and is stabbed back in return- there are only three of the beggars left to defeat however. Tira’s Eldritch Blast takes out the first, Riardon- who can now see again, accounts for the second. The final beggar flops on to the slick cobblestones, throwing away his weapon, and begs to be spared. Erais nods, grabs the filthy human up and rushes in to the decrepit warehouse, and out of the rain. 460 XP Level 1 Encounter. Human Beggar Level 2 Minion x10 Shadow Bat Swarm Level 3 Lurker Comment: Nice encounter, particularly now there are only four PCs, plenty of minions to kill- all armed with different weapons, and the shadow bat swarm- something for the guys to think about.
