Academy of Drell, Part 5

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte heads for the entrance indicated by the name, pulling out her rapier as she goes.

"Somebody with ranged weapons, go around and provide some cover for that gnome!" Charlotte calls out as she goes. "Lure them around the building, and the melee fighters will engage them!"

 

[Zhure]

As the quintet of Mortimer, Rallyn, Victor, Charlotte and Lyrique sprint closer, Brandeles starts waving the group off. Getting closer his voice is quite clear now, "GET BACK, THEY'RE ALL OVER," he yells.

In gnomish, he yells, "GO BACK TO THE STATUE," pointing toward the statue of a long dead imperial general a few hundred yards away from the main building.

Charlotte slows down. "I caught the first part, but... what the hell was that second one? I didn't recognize the language... and he's pointing at the statue. Why?"

Charlotte starts looking at the area around the statue, looking for any threats that might be there.

"Charlotte If the Alchemist throwing the bombs motions for us to go somewhere; I do." Lyrique heads to the statue. He will start shooting at any Orc that shows it's snout.

 

[Jeremy]

"But... Ah damn..."

Are we within 3,500 feet of the building or so?

 

[Zhure]

yes, well within 3500, approximately 500 feet from the statue to the building

Rallyn runs for a bush or hedge that he can hide in as he moves towards the statue. Once he finds one big enough to conceal his small form, he will work his way into it and regard the building. Looking to Charlotte his eyes flare once as he sends a missive to her.

I'm going to stop their shooting, should draw them into melee.

Rallyn then concentrates and begins grabbing all the air for three and a half thousand feet around the building and causing it to rush straight down through out the area. He grabs more and more air, increasing it's gusty blasts by 35 miles per hour. Being careful to keep the area of effect limited to a heighth of about 15 feet so as not to blow Brandeles down off the roof, Rallyn attempts to make it near impossible for an arrow to reach the gnomish alchemist or to travel far over the ground horizontally.

Depending on the prevailing wind conditions of the day the effects can be found here. Just do a word search for wind force.

Let's see if I can flatten some arrows and increase the velocity of those lovely bombs.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Alright, I'll go down and engage them.

"But, Lyrique... how do you know he wanted us to go to the statue?" Charlotte asks him, as she starts heading for the statue. "I didn't understand a word of that second thing he said."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Responding to Charlotte's question, "It's implied I would think. He is telling us there are enemies and is throwing bombs, one would assume, at them. The bombs are going in that direction and he pointed here." Lyrique looks at the battlefield. "As a teacher it is his responsibility to keep us safe thus he would point to the safest place for is to be."

Sorry double post.
