[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5707947, member: 9255"] THE WAYFINDERS OF THE FLOATING TOWER “BUGBEAR ASSAILANTS” 008 10/08/11 BARRAKAS 22, 998 the 15th BELL The Magus named Bloodmage continues to study the map. “What is the Gator Alley?” “An alley with alligators?” answers William as he watches the edge of light and darkness. “Funny funny hah-hah. Seriously- is this map even right?” “So far it seems so.” Replies Jackie. “Something is ahead of us.” Warns Lia. She and the Dragon Shaman move up slowly to a lone large hairy humanoid. This creature holds a large mace and smiles at them. He (she?) stands at an intersection. In broken common the bugbear speaks to them. “Toll. Give gold to me and you pass. No gold… no pass.” As it speaks it waves the mace and smiles a sickly smile that invites violence. The adventurers secretly consider it but try to instead talk their way out of it. “There are five of us to the one of you….” Blaze Redscale begins but is interrupted. “So five gold. Give now or no pass.” Blaze looks to the Magus…. “Would it just be easier to pay it?” “Five gold each. Twenty” “Oh- he’s a smart one.” Suggests the Magus. Looking at the fact the spell caster seems to have no fear of him; the bugbear begins to back up. “Gold or no go.” Lia and Mageblood follow him hoping to press his fear of them. William and Jackie follow up with the Shaman holding back. Fate smiles on him. In goblin the bugbear snarls out “Now!” Lia, understanding goblin and the Magus both go onto the defensive and just in time as a fake wall is collapsed onto them. Suddenly they find themselves being attacked by four rather large bugbears, each swinging two maces and leaping forward. William kicks free of the stones and steps between the attackers and the cleric. Lia and Magus find that the broken wall they largely escaped still hinders their own attacks while the long armed gobliniods can just reach them. The battle is on. These bugbears are tough even for bugbears and know how to use multiple weapons. They beat at the heavily armored Kensai Warrior and swing at the others whom step back to use the rubble to their own advantage now. The first bugbear now addresses them pressing the elf and Magus horribly. The shaman begins to cast spells that are carefully positioned to strike at the creatures but not his teammates. On the second blast of energy the bugbears try to get at him if only to stop his spell casting. William takes advantage of this and takes down two with a vicious swing from his over-sized magical falchion. Jackie steps back avoiding the battle but preparing healing spells as the blood is spilt on both sides. Magus takes down a bugbear and so does the swashbuckler. The leader finds him in a bad spot and quickly goes down as the three of them attack him and the first creature. Little is found on them except for the leader. He seemed to have been the one holding the tolls from times before. They split it up equally and then take time to heal. “Told you he was a smart one.” Says the Magus once more. [/QUOTE]
