Academy of Drell, Part 5

[Lichtenhart]

"I'm quite sure I could take out one by convincing him to do something odd, then I think that I could made them taste Serbanas' bolts. Charlotte, if we distract them, could you sneak till the prisoners and give weapons to them? Lirique, didn't you say you are able to use that wand? That would make a wonderful commotion. Rallyn do you think your power to move the earth would impress them? And Mortimer, what do you think you could do?"

 

[Jeremy]

"I can kick up some of the snow on the ground with the wind, though that isn't very controlled, as for shaking the earth, I'd have to be almost right up on them, and the most it'd do would be to knock them down briefly... I think it might be best to stick with Lyrique's distraction, maybe both of them, and then concentrate on taking down the orcs around the prisoners and getting the prisoners to fight back."

Rallyn glances down at the situation again, then turns back to the group.

"I can tie up one, maybe two, but that leaves 4 to you guys and the prisoners... On the other hand, if we don't try, they will all certainly die, perhaps this way some will survive."

I don't like this, I don't like this at all. There are too many of them.

"Wow I had forgotten the wand!" Lyrique pulls it from his sleve where he hid it.
[OOC: Lyrique will look for any activating words or a Bardic Knowledge check to see if he can activate it.]

 

[Jeremy]

"Now *THAT* makes all the difference. Good thinking... Anyone else got any wands that could help out?"

Rallyn looks around to see if any of the other students have similar surprises.

 

[Jarval]

Mortimer shrugs.

"I'm reasonably handy with my blade, but most of my skills lie away from combat. Although I can be quite effective if I'm given an opening."

 

[Zhure]

A successful Bardic Lore check DC 20 and I'll allow a +2 bonus as if you'd activated that wand before. It's not a particularly "famous" or "songworthy" magical item.

"Victor, yes, I can get them weapons," Charlotte says, "if you can find me some. All I have is my rapier and the rapier that Serbanas gave me - and I'm not about to give up more than one of those, if one at all... I doubt the people down there will be able to handle a rapier."

Charlotte is surprised when Lyrique pulls out the wand, and shies away a little as she raises an eyebrow. "...where did you find that? Are you sure you should be messing with it? It might... explode, or something..."

OOC: sorry GW, I thought Charlotte knew Call weaponry, but it was Ellie. Forget I said it.

Are there rocks on this shore?

There are many small stones, as with most beaches. A few boulders used to be in the immediate area, but they've been rolled up to form the fire ring. Looking at the amount of trouble taken to build the fire, it appears as if the orcs plan to be here for a few days.
