Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Jarval]

Pausing for just a moment, Mortimer pulls his two healing potions from his haversack and passes one each to Charlotte and Keith.

"They're all I have that might help you. Gods' luck be with you both." He pauses a moment longer, then sprints after the retreating villagers.

 

[Velenne]

Travellios makes a vain attempt to stifle a laugh, nearly disrupting his subsequent charge from his new favorite toy.

"If you like, Sildarin, we can go find the bears now. Or stay and finish off these summoners. Either way, this... bird... will take plenty of time getting all the way up here and can be dealt with easily enough I'm sure."


One more for the same giant as last round. 35 damage.

 

[Zhure]

Does it look like Sildarin could maneouver over the eagle before it reaches their height? Or are Travellios and him already over it?

You are already both pretty much directly over it.

 

[Zhure]

Travellios 18 [1180 feet altitude]
Sildarin 18 (delayed) [1180 feet altitude] <- up next
Giants 5

Travellios launches another ball of fire against the same giant. This time the immense humanoid not only loses his spell, but his life as well, falling to the ground as a burnt husk.

Giant Eagle, wounded 0, round 1, 200 feet altitude
Giant 1 wounded 44 (staying still, falling behind)
Giant 2 wounded 94 (staying still, falling behind)
Giant 3 wounded 31 (gone north? Not visible)
Giant 4 wounded 58 (gone south? Not visible)
Giant 5 wounded 60 (east toward the townsfolk? not visible)
Giant 6 wounded 43 (east toward the townsfolk? not visible)
Bear 1 wounded 70 (east, not visible)
Bear 2 wounded 63 (east, not visible)

Meanwhile... Paendaerig, Mortimer, Lyrique, and Rallyn ...

Make a few last minute hurried prerparations with their companions, leaving both Charlotte and Keith to await any giants or bears that might keep following.

Charlotte and Keith

A few minutes* pass quietly with the sounds of booming fireballs. The explosions don't seem to be getting any closer, nor further away, but the villagers retreat completely out of sight in almost no time at all, led by your friends. Once the villagers are gone and there's no interfering noises, you can faintly hear the clash of metal coming from the west. The direction you just came from.

* Ok, not really minutes, it's only a few rounds really, but from the characters' perspective, it sure seems like a long time. I'm creating this fuzzy time so everyone who wants to can get into the action and we'll figure out how to synch things up later.

Calm... be calm... everything's alright...

Charlotte remains still, gripping the halfspear tightly, her knuckles whitening. She watches the direction they came from intently.

Keith stands strong, showing no fear in his eyes, or poise, his blade ready for battle, as he glances to Charlotte... "If things get bad, I want you to run, I can hold them off, there is no sense in both of us dying..."

 

[Dalamar]

"...I'll... try something..."
Sildarin concentrates and summons forth a large wooden blank right under them with sudden minor creation, hoping to catch the approaching eagle under it. He then gets moving towards the bears.

So that's 5 cubic feet of wood falling towards the eagle, spread out horizontally to cover as large an area as possible while still being harmful upon impact.

"If things get bad, I want you to run, I can hold them off, there is no sense in both of us dying..."

"Don't be a fool." Charlotte says quickly. "This is no time for heroics. If we both stay, then we can hold them off longer. There would probably be little sense in running anyway, they'll just catch me."

"Of course, but I had to at least act chivalrous," he winks, before resuming his usual manner.

Make a ranged touch to-hit roll (big range penalties and a -4 non-proficiency penalty, but it could happen.
