[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 2060102, member: 1368"] Really Hobbs... I am not gonna let anyone take a peek at my personal journal which details our traveling and encounters. I do wish you would overcome this fear of fire. So a few low level mages through out some fireballs. The up side is only one mage was alive after our first volley the other having gone down quickly. Of course since the downside was the remaining mage was firing blind with his wand since I had vlcoked them off from retreat with a Solid Fog spell. Actually a second Solid fog since he dispelled my first. I would have taken him out myself except for the Minor invulnerable globe he had managed to bring into existance. It effectively shut down my arsenal of magic to actually wound the enemy. Luckily I kept them tied up with the fog until we could surround them and the Globe was almost expired. Now that I have babbled on this long ... It seems the reinforcements were a team of trained mountain fighters with wizard support. We knew the pass they had planned to traverse and set up an ambush outside the cove that cut through the mountain top. They exited extremely cautiously having been forwarned be the few individuals who survived our orginal assualt. Two scouts exited using boots that allowed them to spider climb. They moved slowly forward but our ambush was set will dilgence and forthought to this possibility so as the rest of the unit moved forward they crossed the glyphs we had set and that triggered our responce. After arrows, acid balls and glitterdust hit the unit it was soundly injured. They were more or less broken into two units of about 10-12 each. They were well trained and fell into formations to protect the blinded, injured troops in the front unit and to protect the wizard in the rear. The surviving wizard in the rear unit managed to get A minor globe off of a scroll to shield them from almost all my spells except for the solid fog I had. It encompassed their formation and locked them down fairly well. The remained so as the wizard fired fireballs out blindly. Our fighters rolled into the first unit and managed to keep them on the defensive and cutting through them slowly. Myself and Terak continued to pelt the leaders with spells and arrows until they manuvered toward us on the ravine walls. At that time we both took to the air he with an air walk and I with a fly spell. We managed to mop up the remaining forces leaving only the 10 man or so unit in the rear. We moved into position and I dispelled my own Solid fog and we moved in to finish the Job. No one escaped. Later as we cleaned up Dressell went into the cave to explore and discovered that it had its own guardian and soon we were dealing witha spider of quite fearsome porportions. It had long mandibles unlike any spider I had seen before and had managed to lay out Dressell in one blow.
