Adventures in Cormyr - The Doorway from Everywhere.

Vardrin grits his teeth, and quickly moves of to the side of the flickering portal. While drawing something from his pack, he states, "The swarm will distract them for now, but they know we're here! We need to get to one of their lesser used portals to regroup!"

Digging out a potion from his pack Vardrin quaffs it quickly and immediately can feel it's healing power course thru his body.

"Agreed," says Thodan, moving to Chik's side. "It is time for a strategic withdrawal. Do we go back to the Stonelands, or do we temp fate with one of these other portals?" Thodan places his hands upon Chik, and prays to Tempus to heal his fallen companion. As he finishes his prayer, he looks over to Vardrin. "What would happen if I attempt to dispel the magic of that portal?"*

Thodan lays his hands upon his fallen companion and channels healing energy thru his hands, at Thodan's touch his wounds stop bleeding and begin to close, and gradually a rosy complexion is restored to his face.

* OOC: If you succeed on your Dispel Magic attempt vs the portal then, the item will become non-magical temporarily for 1d4 rounds. :)

Cursing silently for her slow reactions, while moving into the center of the room, Leonara draws her wand and activates it, to begin tending her wounds. Stalker follows her and stands guard.

Glandred pats at the embers that still cling almost lovingly to her newly charred clothing "Yeah, maybe we've bitten off a huge chunk of agro and our jaws ain't big enough to chew" she mutters as she moves away from the portal "Whoever heard of magic using orcs anyway? It's just not right!" she shouts her axes gripped loosely in her hands "Somehow destroying these portals would be the trick. Something we need to do very quickly, whatever else we do they'll just track us, it'll be a race if we can't destroy this place." she suggests as her eyes sweep the walls looking for any imperfections in the stone that supports the portals.

Looking the portals over Glandred immediately sees that the portal while flush with the walls, are separate from them, and figures it would be possible to move or topple a portal.

"Why are you dispelling it friend? Why not use the close command we learned...it was in orcish was it not?" Jack notches another arrow preparing for another orc to close. "I think it would be, my dwarven friend, in our best interest to wait to kill them all at a later date. There would be nothing I would enjoy more than watching them all die by your hands and my bow."

While you talk the portal continues to flicker between the two locations, suddenly it stops altogether and the light begins to fade away

"Try toppling it. Dispel is a temporary solution at best; we need to block it off. Would be best if we could drop it in the Dragonmere, but we work with what we have."
 

Thodan gives Chik a friendly pat as the man regains consciousness, and then stands and moves to the portal. Hearing Vardrin's words, he looks at the portal doubtfully. "Glandred, your aid would be most appreciated" Then, calling upon Tempus for divine strength, Thodan heaves against the portal, trying to topple it to the floor.


OOC: Thodan will use his Strength domain power, increasing him to STR 20 for 1 round.

“If they always come through this side, maybe we can turn the portal around, so it faces the wall?”

Jack just looks at the portal, "Well boys and girls we better think of something else cause those little orcs know we are here..."

~~~~

Thodan and Glandred move to either side of the portal, with Chik at the ready to close the portal in the event of it opening, getting a grip on the smooth sides of the portal is initially a differcult proposition, Both Thodan and Glandred strain with their considerably might but fail to topple the heavy portal, wiping the sweat off of their slippery hands they both change their grips slightly for better purchase.

Straining once more they feel the portal move a fraction, gritting their teeth they continue to strain against the reluctant portal, slowly working the portal backwards and forwards they inch it out away from the wall, finally able to put their fingers behind the portal they place their feet against the wall, and with a mighty heave they finally manage to topple the portal over onto it's front, with a collective sigh and much cheering you begin to think that the worst is finally over.

That is until you hear the ear-piercing screech of a large bird-of-prey.

Diving out of the mid-morning sky you eyes alight upon a fierce sight indeed, swooping towards you is a majestic looking two-headed Griffon.

Portal Room - Griffon Battle, Round 1
 

Thodan

"When it rains, it pours," says Thodan, with a shake of his head. Ever ready for battle, the war priest moves toward the winged beast, chanting as he does so. A glowing battleaxe, shining with the divine might of Tempus, appears nears the creature, and rapidly slashes in at it.



OOC: Move to AQ5, cast Spiritual Weapon, attack +7, damage 1d8+2/x3 - 6 round duration
 


Glandred prepares to strike at the great bird if it should come within range of her axes "If we get the chance we should topple the rest of these arches" she growls as she watches the monstrous avian descend.
