[QUOTE="megamania, post: 1929219, member: 9255"] EBERRON 12/18/04 SEGMENT 024 SHADOWS OF THE LAST WAR Boddynoc and the adventurers watch as the barge pulls away from shore. They are a ½ day walk away from the city. They only can hope Cedious will meet them there or in Sharn at the Broken Anvil Tavern. The terrain here is tall grasses with short trees that grow alone. It will not be easy to sneak up through the last bit. About an hour into their walk they spot two armored bugbears skipping rocks into the muddy river. Suddenly they stop and scramble further onto shore. A well armored Hobgoblin barks at them and beats them on the head with his spiked club. It appears their commander feels break is over. All the warforged are thinking is a grand fight. Bane is no better. Boddynoc hopes they will leave. Waiting for ten minutes, he discovers this won’t happen. About 30 of the armored creatures are doing military drills here. “swell.” Boddynoc says under his breathe. “I hope I can still find my invisibility potion.” He says under his breath as he looks at his three comrades whom are eager for combat. “As warforged, you could walk into the river submerged and thus go undetected. We could try to swim it and submerge ourselves to get past.” Offers Boddynoc. “We can take them.” Answers Temper. “We took on the Claw with no problems.” Adds in Bonds. Bane only smiles. [DM NOTE- I like to place in stuff that PCs should KNOW to run from. Unfortunately, they are feeling combative suddenly. Before I could think of a senceible means to move the army, Bonds attacks. Sigh. I hope someone survives.] There are two groups of 10 armored bugbears and a group of 8 armored bugbears (all I had in metal & plastic) lead by three hobgoblins. [DM NOTES- Bugbears were straight from the book. Hobgoblins I gave two 3 levels of fighter and one 5 levels. ] Bonds charges straight out from the bushes into the first hobgoblin knocking him over and into a tumble. The bugbears stop and are stunned. The commander begins to bark out orders and searches the direction of the charge. He orders the others to converge there. Bonds is surrounded and beaten on. Boddynoc, having just finished using up his bane spells on all weapons is weary of this encounter. He fires a crossbow with Melf’s acid arrow on it. The commander is hit but barely notices it as he stands on the wall of a ruined old building. Temper rushes out next. He meets the second group head on and takes on bugbear down. Bane begins to go around to meet the third group. Boddynoc can’t believe this. They split up! Worse- the commander is eyeing him now. He suspects the commander knows he is a mage manipulator! Where is that potion! Bonds goes down as they team up and pummel him. Even enraged, how do you defend yourself against 10 bugbears and a hobgoblin? Recognizing him by the skull on his shoulder pad, the goblinoids continue to cut him up. Temper realizes his mistake but is surrounded. He drops a few more. [DM NOTE- Jeff’s quote- “I am almost to my next level. Can I have Great Cleave now?” Andy hahahah- hurm. No. ] Bane is taken down. With a commander bearing down on him, Boddynoc consumes his potion of invisibility and slowly creeps away. Temper goes down and the three fighters are chopped up by the Darguun military. Slowly, Boddynoc slips into the river and floats away, just as he had wanted to in the beginning. He continues to float for awhile. After an hour goes by he nears a bridge with a goblin watching. The goblin has more interest with something on shore than the river. Boddynoc has reached the city. “oh yay.” He mourns. [/QUOTE]
