Academy of Drell, Part 5

Sildarin drops his backpack to the ground and starts sneaking towards the shore, circling as far from the orcs as he can and still have an easy route. MS 14 (10 roll), Hide 14 (10 roll)

"Perhaps we should pull back to the Academy for now, and attack with better numbers? We might be able to persuade Serbanas to join us in freeing the prisoners."
 


NP, Lichtenhart. :)

"No, Mortimer," Charlotte says, shaking her head. "We've got to go now. We don't know how long they'll be there, or what they have planned for their prisoners. If we leave now, we might not get another chance to save them."

"Alright, it looks like Sildarin is heading out to the water... I think he'll be taking care of the orc in the longboat. Rallyn, you'll incapacitate as many orcs as you can. I will be getting into hand-to-hand with the orcs, taking out the ones that Rallyn doesn't tie up. Lyrique, you'll give us a distraction - preferably in the opposite direction of where Rallyn and I will be going in after them... after that, use the wand, if it can be used in this situation. Mortimer... if you're good with a blade, you should come down and join me in combat. I'll need someone to back me up - there will be four orcs that we will need to handle between us, possibly five."

"That's the plan so far," Charlotte says, shrugging. "I think that's the best we're going to get. I don't think that we're really going to be able to change that. We'll probably hold off our attack until Sildarin reaches the longboat, at which point it will be impossible to hold it off without endangering him. Lyrique, you're going to have to make your distraction across the campsite from where the longboat is - which means that Mortimer and I will be attacking from the direction that the longboat is in."

Irritated with herself, she grabs a nearby stick, and starts drawing in the sand...

"Any more thoughts? And Victor... what are you going to be able to do?"
 

Rallyn scratches his head, "Hoo boy.. That only leaves the other six orcs smack dab inbetween the four of us to you Victor... Don't suppose you are incredibly good at dice and disguises?"

"What did you say about conjuring up some other orcs to serve as a secondary distraction Lyrique?"
 

"Orcs it is! But I was thinking more along the lines of something the villagers would not be frightened by." Lyrique looks on with an intensity fuled by deep hatered. Those who have known him have never seen him upset let alone like this.

When Charlotte gives Lyr the signal he will cast the Ghost sounds to the north of the camp. His next move will be to conjure a small band of Orcs.
 

"Alright, I have to work myself a little closer, but I'm going to loop far around the dice players incase it is a ruse. Hopefully I'll be within range of both the south and southeast one before Sildarin gets out to the ship. Wish us luck..."

Rallyn sneaks off to the south to loop around to east to be a hundred feet or so south of the captured islanders.
 

Sildarin leaves his pack behind and manages to apparently sneak unnoticed to the shoreline. The sea water there lapping against the sand more than masks any noise he makes.

As Sildarin gets close to the water line, the salty spray of water is ice cold on his exposed hands and face.
 

Brr... cold.
Stop that and start swimming, I want to see if there are any ladies in distress on that boat.


Sildarin dives in to the water after making sure that his rapier is secure, along with the ferroplasm bow and the arrows.
He will circle to the other side of the boat than the one the orc is on, using ectoplasmic strand to form a rope to get on the deck and then opening fire with the bow.

"I'll put these wonderful bolts to good use, and maybe something more useful, depending on how they'll react. I'll attack from the other corner so they'll think to be surrounded."
