The battle in the mists, cont

You hear a loud cry from the South, cut off in mid scream. It is followed by shouting in the strange beast-language from the South, which is answered in the North and West. All very close. They are clearly communicating in some way.

Nathaniel's oration continues, making you all feel a bit better. He seems to be heading south as he speaks.

Octar shouts "Hey - the grass is alive!"
 

Once more Ehldannis's lilting voice chants out phrases of arcane power, gaining volume and culminating in a loud clap followed shortly after by a canine howling.
 


mist battle

Your opponents continue to shout among each other, but the din of battle isn't as loud as it was. Some seem to be dying or disengaging.
 

Ehladnnis's voice rises out of the fog in a reedy cry, "Ware, the beastmen are taking away any who fall. We must not let them escape." His cry is then followed by then sounds of spellcasting in a much stronger and surer voice.
 

You hear the sound of bladed weapons thumping into meat, and Glaucon painfully yells, "Blast your eyes, bearman!" Then there are shuffling noises of combat from the south, followed by a bubbly gurgle, and the thump of a body.
 

Just a note to say we have guests this holiday weekend, and I'll have to take a day or two off. I'll post again soon, probably sunday night.
 

Shouts of pain interupt Nathaniel's inspirational oration. evidently, he, too, has been wounded.

"Die, beast of Hades" shouts Octar from near the firepit.

Meanwhile, more animal yipping, in a higher octave, come from the south.
 

You hear Brioc call out in pain, then him calling out in Gaelic to Wolf. He then calls back towards his companions.

"Watch where you tread! I've cast a spell on the grass to entangle any who move into the area ahead of me."
