Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[frostrune]

After dispatching a few goblin 'inconveniences' Timrin (and Dyria I think?) finally breaks through to the beleaguered Shando.

He shouts something in a powerful and calming tongue to his exalted friend as he temporarily halts his charge to await the giant's response to Shando's calls for their surrender.

In celestial...
[sblock] "Fight to win my friend but if things go badly get to Kayla and teleport to the City. Dyria and I will manage." [/sblock]

OOC: If the giants fail to surrender (which I'm sure they will) Timrin will activate his boots of speed and charge the nearest. I plan to unload a massive smite/power attack [+23 to hit, dmg 2d6 +12 +24(power attack) +6(divine might) +16(smite evil) +2d6 holy; AC 36 (+1 boots, -2 charge)]

Does he have his horse here or no?

Dyria paused next to Timrin, cracking her whip-dagger menacingly as Shando made the offer of surrender. "Bit of a close one back there," she said to Timrin, as she joined him. "I honestly didn't think I was going to make it when I saw that sword sticking out of my chest."

Dyria will back Timrin up if the giants refuse to surrender, with a joyous cry as she charges into battle. She stick close to Timrin, while laying into the giants with her whip.
Dyria will power attack 5 on her charge: +26 to hit/1d6 + 21 + 1d6 electricity

Not at the moment. If we were sufficiently far away (from Shando) to have necessitated his calling, I would have taken a full round action to do it.

OCC: DM_Matt, would the Mithal device we have in our stronghold replace Silvermoon's? Could Barnak teleport back to our stronghold and teleport it back to the city?
If Barnak can't do it, is this something Taern Hornblade could do?

No, its vastly weaker, and the spell effects are tied into the devices. The effects would have to be remade. They can't be changed out like batteries.

OCC: OK, just trying to see if it would work; it was worth asking

IC: Murdoch will focus on using devour magic on the bridge repeadly. Barnak will provide him with cover (using magic missile, scorching ray, fireball, diamond spray (4th level BoED)). If no ennemy presents themselves to Barnal, he'll target seige weapons or ennemy wizards.

For extra protection, Murdoch & Barnak will position themselves either below the force bridge (if possible) or on the side, to avoid attacks.

Shando replies in Celestial

Seeing how easily Shando took down the first giant, and seeing the rest bash through everytihng in their path to get to him, they run. The one closer to the city runs towards it. the other two run to the shelter of the cannonforge demon. Speaking of the cannonforge demon, the creature stands up on its six, thick, armored, elephant-like legs, and begins moving towards the city, positioning itself in the middle of the army. Its shell raises temporarily, and huge, iron-plated wings fold out, making the creature look a lot more like a dragon than before.

Alethia and Barnak destroy more troop formations and seige weapons.

The horde is having a lot of trouble penetrating the city. They lost many seige weapons already, and their supply of stones has been partially interrupted. They probably expected that Cronos' ship could hit the city from above and land troops within, and they did not expect Murdoch to be able to keep interrupting the bridge. Also, without Cronos' ship to back them up, thier manticores have taken heavy losses. Finally, they are without their indestructable champion who could have crossed the bridge and destroyed the defenders at the gate, and it is unclear who exactly is commanding them.

While their land strength still remains significant, with thousands of troops, and wizards, giants, and warbeasts, they are having a great deal of difficulty actually bringing them to bear.

The city too has taken serious losses from seige weaponry, missiles, and spells. In a few parts of the city, fires spread pretty far without being put out, and some still burn. The mythal provided full fire protection, but it seems that the only part of it that actually works now is the bridge.

The invaders in the water try to get away from the elementals. You notice that battles have been raging at a number of small entry and exit points, water, sewage, and boats, and finally, one enterence is overrun and an unknown number of attackers flood into the sewers before it is resecured.

If you can, start sowing seeds of doubt into the minds of our enemies, especially enemy commanders. Anything that might be to our advantage.

The demon laughed. With pleasure.
