[QUOTE="Ipissimus, post: 3443194, member: 41514"] Day 12 - Patchwall 591 CY We were forced to retreat today but our wounds are not so bad that we will be unable to continue tomorrow. The bees have made their hive in a covered bridge across a deep gorge. After observing the nest for a while, we divined that one always guards the entrance to the nest, a hole a mere five foot in diameter in the wax. Direct assault seemed impossible to me through the tiny entrance at least until we had thinned out the native popularion a bit. Smoking out the bees wasn't an option as the high winds through the gorge made such tactics impossible. Destroying the bridge wasn't an option either, as the village needed the trade route to export wine into Celene. I attracted the guard's attention through the simple expedient of stepping out of the bushes and blasting it with magical missiles. I expected some reaction, however the five more Giant Bees that responded were slightly more than I expected. The halfling militia were hard pressed to support me with their slings as the Bee's carapaces protected them for the most part. We made a total of four attacks on the hive over the day, healing and recovering as best we could each time with the aid of Wee Jas on our side. My spells ran out quickly, however, and I was forced to resort to my Wand of Web to divide the squads of Bees and conquer. Fortunately, none of us were seriously poisoned, though I took several stingers during the battle. It won't be over, however, until we destroy the queen. The proprieter of the vinyards has asked me if it would be possible to capture the queen so that the production of honey could be continually harvested. My short answer was no, though I have suggested to the mayor that he send for a Druid that can maintain the balance of nature in these parts. [/QUOTE]
