Academy of Drell, Part 5

Sildarin goes and picks up his rapier, feeling it around to get used to the new weighting.
"I think... the others are doing.... something outside... Maybe... we should go see them..."

I forgot to mention it - Victor finds one of the orcs has a hand-stain on his crotch, unlike the others, and is carrying an obvious spell component pouch and a red osage wand. His bardic lore tells him it's a wand of fireballs.

Here explained the explosion we heard. The assault on the academy was very well organized then. I wonder who could concieve such a dreadful plan. Well, I'd better take care of it.

Vic picks up the wand and the component pouch, and then runs towards Rallyn, Charlotte Lirique and the other student, cause he notices they already started attacking the orcs.
 

Serbanas points at the rapier Sildarin now carries. "I've merely balanced it. I don't have any skill with enchanting... I took the liberty of making a modification or two. Press that small stud on the guard..."

Doing so makes a small blade project out of the hilt, releasing the button causes it to retract.

"That's useful when you're in a clinch," Serbanas says.

Victor can't determine how many charges the magical device still holds, but he assumes that this was what was used to cause so many large burn marks. No students would've been able to withstand that sort of blast. 6d6, for ease of recordkeeping, assume it has 22 charges left (both of which are clues in and of themselves).

He quickly hurries to catch the rest of the group huddled at the bottom of the hill.

* * * *

One of the archer orcs takes a rapid series of shots at his brethren engaged in the brawl. Two arrows stick into the one under Rallyn's control and it falls over, apparently dead.

The bat from Mortimer flies over the heads of the three remaning archer orcs, who seem to not notice it's presence. The do seem to be looking for more humanoids though. One of the orcs grunts and points toward the huddled group of students....

Lyrique, roll for effect on the sleep.

I've been forgetting to include some magic treasure, or any treasure. Mea culpa, which is why I added the bit about the wand of fireballs. Much coming up, I hope; don't forget to remind me. :)
 

"I'm sorry to be late, friends, but look at what I found. Can anyone use it? Let them taste their own medicine. But...where is Sildarin?"

Vic then begins to sing to inspire courage while he charges his crossbow.
 


"Thanks... maybe it'll be of use... should we... go see what the others... are doing?"
Sildarin tries the mechanism a couple of times, also reversing the weapon in his grip and trying to attack with the smaller blade.

One down! One down!
Eh?
The orcs started fighting among themselves and one of them got shot.
I see.


"I think... they already started... one of the orcs... got shot..."
 

Well that was appreciated. But it cost me my toy.

I know Charlotte and Victor have seen the other orcs, did Rallyn ever see them? If so, I need to change this next bit.

Oh no! They spotted the others!

Rallyn quickly tries to grab the orc behind the orc who just shot and killed the other orc.

C'mon, c'mon, I can DO this...

Rallyn tries again to manifest control body on an orc. Solidifying the air about the limbs of the orc and get him to jump on the orc who just stepped back and wrestle him to the ground.

You might need to do more than that, those are your friends they are going to start shooting at.

Not now, Kar!


I'm at work, so no dice here, Zhure, can you roll for me? Same mods as the last grapple attempt, just different strength mod for the orc.

Initiative: 7 + 6 = 13.

"I think they've spotted us, lads." Mortimer flourishes his rapier. "Anyone with me? I fight better with a companion." And with that he makes a dash for the closest orc, swiping with his blade.

Attack roll: 5 + 2 = 7... Damage roll (I doubt it'll be needed): 7
