[D&D 4e] IG's "The Witchlight Strand"

[industrygothica]

A young woman refills your waterskins and wishes you luck. "Please get us out of here," she says desperately to Pier. "This is becoming more than I can take."

Deeson Voss disappears for a few moments, and then returns with a grappling hook for Druthruss. In his other hand is an axe the size of a large halfling.

"I got archers on the roof to give you support for as long as you're in their sights." He hoists the huge axe onto his shoulder as if it were made of air. "I'll defend the barricades here while we're waitin' on your return. If you hear the horn, come runnin', 'cause the fight's started without you."

Assumming this is after a nights rest and just before or at the crack of Dawn....as mentioned above

Vatan will be addressing the whole room in the hope that there might be a few others that might want to take part in this little venture. "Right lads, and Milady. This gonna be a quick out an' back ta see what we be up against, an' ta see if there be any food here abouts that yon pond scum not be pawin' over. I be hatin' ta be turnin' from a fight, especially with these pox ridded curs, but it best be avoidin' any fight if we can. Be light an' quiet if ye be able." He will then make a bit of a show taking off his buckler, bow and arrows, and any other equipment0 he may be carrying except his leather armour, sword, daggers and axes.

"Thankyou good man Deeson" says Druthruss as he finishes taking a copy of the map. He takes the grapnel and ties it up to the end of his rope. "Right, ill just have a check of my kit and then lets be off. Whos coming ?"

 

[Midgardsormr]

Pier stamps his feet into his boots firmly and then takes up his staff and other magical gear. "I am ready."

 

[Redrobes]

"Sahyr, it seems we're going to fight... so I take it that your not going to miss all the glory ?"

The streets of Hania seem relatively quiet for the moment. Though the smoke is clearing it still hangs in the air, clinging to the scent of torched buildings and burned bodies.

The barricades still stand solid, leaving only one unhindered route to and from the square. Deeson Voss's huge frame fills the doorway of the Witch's Brew as he sees you off. True to his word, two archers scan the streets with readied arrows. "Clear as far we can see," whispers an eladrin with silvery-blue hair.

"Go then," Voss says. "Tenanai has you covered as long as you're in his sights. After that..." He left the sentence unfinished, but there was no mistaking unsaid words.

"Should we find trouble," Aridha murmurs, "Remember we can fall back and try to lure them here. In small numbers they would be easy prey. Now...who is to be our scout?"

 

[Redrobes]

Well, I can blend into a crowd, assuming that Dwarves are not unusual, and I can spot things pretty well. I don't know that's going to work out here but I'll go ahead and if I raise my arm then it means there's something there. Are we heading in any particular direction ? Like the storehouse or something ?

After the discussion, Druthruss will use his crossbow and head out using as much available cover and concealment as possible. He will keep to no more than about 40' ahead of the party and pay attention to the roofs and open windows. If he passes a door then he will listen and look for recent use such as tracks going in and out. If he has that map copy then he will reference it a lot keeping note where he is on it.

 

[Midgardsormr]

"I think we should follow Vatan's suggestion and secure the food stores first. Winter is coming, and we will do little good for these people if we save them from being butchered only to leave them to starve to death. Southward, to the grange."

 

[Korash]

"Right, lads, and MiLady, keep close but not so close as to be targets for tha' pox ridden fire bombs. Keep ye lookin' at tha roofs an' ally ways for ambushes." Vatan will give Druthruss about 25' head start and then follow, keeping as low as he can while still being able to be stealthy and move quickly. Any time that Druthruss stops he will as well and go down on one knee unless signalled forward by Druthruss.

He will have both sword and dagger in hand.
