[QUOTE="Marquis de Sade, post: 3246808, member: 25787"] [b]Mission Completed[/b] [B]Skull Gorge Bridge[/B]. Built by dwarvish masters of stone hundreds of years ago. So near, yet so far away. As 3 of 5 friends fell by the force of the mighty dragon [B]Ozyrrandion[/B], they contemplated running away to fight another day. But with [B]Cinder Hills [/B] and the goblinoid horde so close [B]Anor [/B] and [B]Eluard [/B] feared that reinforcements may be arriving anytime soon. With the [I]Staff of Life [/I] they resurrected their friend [B]Geth Helder[/B]. At the same time at [B]Drellins Ferry[/B], [B]Falrinn [/B] the Svirfnebblin Druid has resurfaced after some time off. He met with [B]Oulpatrull[/B], an Elven Sorcerer claiming to have dragon´s blood in his veins. They set out for [B]Skull Gorge Bridge [/B] to try and find their friends and if possible help out. [B]Falrinn [/B] and [B]Oulpatrull [/B] arrived by their friends early afternoon, and they started planing to attack the bridge knowing that only 9 hobgoblins were left in the towers. So they charged with an open assault, full speed on their mounts. [B]Falrinn [/B] was proud as he charged across the open field on his riding dog holding a lance in his arm. But the hobgoblins were alert and they showered the heroes with arrows. [B]Geth Helder[/B], just back from the dead, got hit. [B]Anor[/B], the mighty Elven Ranger marksman got hit 3 times for 21 damage....Aware of their delicate situation they turned back to the woods.... The hobgoblins seemed more potent than they first would have thought. Time for a new warplan. Again [B]Eluard [/B] the Aasimar Cleric was planning to use [I]Fly [/I] to attack the bridge from beneath. If he could only pray at dawn for 2 more [I]Stoneshape[/I], perhaps the bridge would fall. At the same time, [B]Isilwen [/B] the Gray-Elf Wizard, left [B]Drellins Ferry [/B] for [B]Skull Gorge Bridge[/B]. [B]Oulpatroll [/B] was totally fed up with being a target already and wandered alone off into the forest, away from it all. [B]Isilwen [/B] on the contrary rode full speed to join his friends cause. The final and third plan, was to have [B]Geth Helder, Anor[/B], and [B]Falrinn[/B], firing arrows at the towers and drawing attention towards them. At the same time [B]Eluard [/B] will come flying in from the bottom of the canyon and yet again attacking the bridge from beneath. One final charge for the friends. At dawn next day [B]Eluard [/B] prayed to Lathander and succesfully received his spells. He took off about 3.600 feet to the east to be able to fly in towards the bridge unseen. The other friends attacked the towers head-on riding on their mounts. The hobgoblins fired back again, and the heroes noticed that there were several new tents present, more guards, and even a hellhound on the bridge. Reinforcements had already arrived! They took out the hellhound very fast, but the guards in the towers proved tougher. They were also hidden in the shadows of the towers and protected by crenellations and arrowslits. But [B]Eluard [/B] managed to fly in under the bridge unnoticed. He casted the first [I]Stoneshape[/I]. One of the two huge blocks of stone making up the bridge´s centre crashed to the ground of the canyon far below, and almost crushed [B]Eluard [/B] as well! One more block of stone to go.... Up by the towers [B]Falrinn [/B] took 2 hits and turned back to safety. [B]Anor [/B] and [B]Geth Helder [/B] kept riding towards the towers drawing all the attention to them. As [B]Eluard [/B] started casting the second [I]Stoneshape[/I], the guards started shouting, but too late! As the second block of stone was destroyed, the bridge started to collapse and as it went down the canyon so did the towers with the guards in them. [B]Skull Gorge Bridge was finally destroyed[/B]. :) At a huge cost, but perhaps this might be one of many bricks that will defeat the Red Hand of Doom in the end. As the tired friends rode back to [B]Drellins Ferry [/B] they meet [B]Isilwen [/B] who was on his way to meet them. They all rode to [B]Drellins Ferry [/B] to watch the final steps of the evacuation. They met with Town Speaker [B]Norro Wiston [/B] and Captain [B]Sorannah Anitah[/B] to inform of recent events. Only destiny knows what comes next. [I]To be continued[/I].... [/QUOTE]
