A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

Holding the storage room.

Two of the undead are felled leaving none to attack you this round. However, the fire is burning low and several wait to rush forward. Meanwhile, Willum continues to sing, but his ability to counter the song of the undead may not hold out much longer.

OOC: Willum will have to make another roll at the end of ten rounds. Actions?

Forbidden Rooms

Seeing the tactical situation, Michael will throw yet another flask of regular oil into the hallway to buy yet more time...1d20+9 = 18. Seeing his success, and the ignition of yet more oil MIchael will further back and say "Quick Fraxin shut the door" When the door is shut, Michale will insturct Ambar to help begin stacking crates etc against the door proper so as to create a breastwork from which they can defend if necessary.

"Well done gentlemen, well done"

The storeroom

The fire flares up afording the little band a respite to move back into the storeroom and bar the door. Michael's men can't help grinning at having cheated death, but the moment is spoiled by the knowledge that several of the Empire's elite are still in the cluthes of the foul mind bending undead. They quickly raise simple defenses.

OOC: Listen check?

Pausing to get his breath, Michael will say "We need to figure out a way to assit those poor people, Fraxin, do you think you could recruit a few more guards to our cause. If we can rescue at least a few, think of the possible renowned"

The Storeroom

After a moment, perhaps as long as it would take for the fire to die down, there is a banging and rattling at the door. Likely the undead trying to get it open. Soon this is followed by noises of numerous creatures moving about and then near silence. Fraxin answers, "We might be able to recruit a few more. While we are an organized mercenary company, Ogres are an independent lot."
OOC: Actions?

The Forbidden Sports

In response to Fraxins Statement....."Any close by that you know of that you could recruit and be back in less than 5 minutes"

Fraxin

The big fellow shrugs, "you know there wheren't any more of us in the back areas. Our job was to look competent and intimadating to the guests so that everyone behaved themselves. Some men are posted in the casino, but they were the captain's favorites are already getting extra wages to keep them honest. I doubt they will abandon their current masters. Their is also a 'drunk tank' where a couple men I know are stationed. It is across the ampetheater and will take more than five minutes." He looks at Michael expectantly.

The Forbiden Room

Michael will digest the information and say "Dam, we cant weaken ourselfes any further by splitting the party for that long. The one's in the rooms are dead to us already as we do not have the strenght of arms to free them. Perhaps we can save those in the drunk tank and with reinforcements come back and rescue these. Lead the way Fraxin, were off to the Drunk Tank"

As they are walking, MIchael will inform the priestess of all that has transpired and ask her to realy a waring to the rescue parties about the forbidden room and the creatures within. Michael will also give her a layout of the rooms that she can realy to the rescue parties."

Calling Home

Nac'Losin reports only mixed success. They were able to assist all the people that Michael sent out early; however, getting forces in has been problematic. Chandar took a force down trying to swim to the grotto. Unfortunately, the visibility in the water is very poor, and they have been attacked by a school of undead barracudas that proved most daunting. They had to resurface for air before defeating these terrible fish. He lost two men and has several wounded. They are regrouping for another attack. Mangram's force in the boats has seen no one in the water as yet. They found a service entrace to the Masque barge for boats to make deliveries, but it is sealed from the inside and they don't have a boat big enough to ram it open. Grond took a force and tried to make his way in through the main door. He was first attacked by animated statues that seemed all but immune to normal weapons. They were finally pushed off the docks where they promptly sank, but not before seriously wounding several men. Once the remaining members of the force regrouped they found that only one or two could get through the doors at a time due to the press of people trying to get out. They are now working their way though the packed entry halls where they are taking some attacks from murder holes above. All in all a bad situation.

The Masque

Thinking alound to himself Michael will once again say "Dam, we just cant seem to get things going" Calling the priestess MIchael will say "Priestess, Call off the the attempts and have them regroup on the docks. We are safe now and moving to secure reinforcements from inside. Have the men concertare on rescusing anyone needing help and on breaking thru the service entracne. Perhaps if we can combine our strength there we can make a breakthru...I am on my way to a holding area where i hope to rescue several patrons and then will move towards the service door from the inside. Tell Chandar and Grond I am sorry about their loses, but for now our men's lives take precedence. We will help where we can but until we can concertrate we will look for opportunities"

Turning to Fraxin and his small group,"Hurry to the holding area then we need to go to the service passage to let in further reinforcements. Time is of the essence gentlmen."
