Ajathan Strongheart screamed as he nearly fell from the wall.
"No!!! Cut them down already!" he demanded.
The archer raised his crossbow and loosed a bolt, but it whizzed harmlessly by Wil's right side.
The fat woman stared at Kruk once more, scrunching her face, again with no effect. "Perhaps we should consider a withdraw? The slaves are dead, and they seem unphased by my powers.
Ajathan Strongheart pulled himself to his feet.
"Shut your trap, hag. You fight until I say otherwise." Unable to Wil, he settled for an attack on the dwarf alone, but his mental blast has as much effect as Alaria's.

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain Notes]
1. Difficult Terrain:
Snow Drifts: M9:O10 and M26:N28 and O27:O28
Snow-covered Rocks: R15, W21, X21:X22, H14
Treeline
2. The wall and gate are made of wood, 12' tall.
If standing on the wall, there is no cover bonus granted.
If prone atop the wall, the target has superior cover (-5) vs opponents on the ground.
3. The cliffs on the east and west side of the map are too steep to climb, so basically impassible, creating a bottleneck in the road.

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship
Wind's Will captained by
Captain Levenbrech, and mated by
Porse and
Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (
link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest,
Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about
Hellview (
background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says
Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "
will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of
Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.
9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through the hell gate, and they found
Sir Alistair Glasston's lost battleaxe. But Greggor was still missing, and there is the question of why the demons were digging.
10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the others pressed ahead North, trying to find the source of the demon-aligned miners, as well as the lost silver.
11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine. Mounted knight
Brother Arleas leads a band of outlaws and zombies to defend the mine entrance. After slaying the Knight and half his men, the remaining wizards and archers closed the gate.
