[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2341656, member: 9255"] EBERRON 06/11/05 SEGMENT 080 “LONG AND SHORT” The tired but successful adventurers follow the trail out to the entrance of the caves. They decide to follow the foot trail back to the rail system and then follow that home. They’ll figure out Karrnath when they reach it. Before they enter the grass, an arrow sails through the air and lands at their feet. Attached to it is a piece of rolled paper. Snickering at it, Cedious walks over to it and picks it up. He smiles at the group as he unrolls it and reads it out loud. “Thankyou for retrieving the book. Give it to us or play my game” Short They laugh it off and move on into the tall grass. About two hundred feet from the caves as they enter the tall grass Gnarl can smell something. Even as he warns his master- Taskerdoo, the warforged leap to the attack. There are ten of them all wielding long swords. Another one stands up very slowly. He holds a glowing Longsword. “Deconstruct them!” The ten warforged fighters immediately surround the group and block off any exists. Three of them go after Taskerdoo the healer. Gnarl works his way out of the threesome and directly into the leader- Long. Boddynoc is barely alive, as he has taken several serious sword strikes. The Leader misses and is tripped by the wolf before it charges into the deeper brush to protect its master. The sniper then attacks hitting the wolf with an arrow. Wolf and Boddynoc both do down.

With no other options, the wolf returns to battle hoping the archer will think his rider is dead. A Black sands takes two hit then decimates the warforged around him. Cedious can not get a good hit in as the two warforged surround him. Sharshek does everything he can to keep himself alive. These warforged have battled as a group before (all from Aundair, same unit) and function as a group. Suddenly the PCs have discovered a group that uses strategy and cunning with ruthless results. The battle goes back and forth. If any try to run the sniper attacks. Long gets tripped again by the wolf. The tactic annoys the warrior. He prepares himself and stays on his feet the next time. Gnarl is gutted and cut in two in two swift strikes. Taskerdoo is near death (self stabilized at –6) in the deep brush and his companion / familiar is dead. The others now move in to Long except for Cedious. He can not hit his foes or they him. The three of them dance and twist near death every second. Long holds his own against the ½ giant and human. The archer meanwhile has moved to a new location and unknown to the PCs has asked his own animal companion to sneak in. Finally Cedious takes down a forged and the others get a few solid hits in. Soon all forged are down. When Cedious attempts to pick over the belongings the archer begins to fire on them. They take cover behind a short but thick bush.

Then maybe sneak out.” Offers the human fighter. “So long as I kill the archer any plan works for me.” Curses the barbarian as he works out an arrow from his leg. “Where is Taskerdoo? I saw Gnarl go down.” Asks Cedious suddenly seeing there are only the three of them. “He fell off Gnarl in the brush.” “Alive?” “Don’t know.” Cedious thinks this over for a moment. Sharshek brings up the need of his healing abilities. It may be worth seeing if he is alive. A plan is formed. Cedious has a sense of where the archer is. The fighter will try to get the druid’s body and return to the caves. The Barbarian will draw fire since he is the chosen target at this time. They all shot out to their set targets at once. Black sands takes one more hit. Sharshek finds the druid / mage’s body. He is alive but in bad shape. Cedious stays low and sneaks in to the target. Even as Red Eye sneaks in. [/QUOTE]
