"Indeed," Trebuchet puts forth. "To have commanded so many powerful individuals through what appears to be primarily fear, and some guile, suggests he is quite formidable."
He looks down at himself, blunt, stubby fingers tapping on runes and sliding panels in his frame that have not, as yet, shown their use.
"I could wish that I had more time to unlock my functions before this fight, but it seems that is not to be."

"I shan't," Darrick replies, matching his tone. "And again, my thanks. I only hope that I'm worthy of your gift...and of your trust."
Raising his voice a bit, he addresses Catherine. "You and I are likely the best choices to handle this Janus, Catherine. Seeing as how we're the most...ah...durable. More or less."

Sepoto nods in agreement with Darrick's suggestion, and interrupts Charles before he can make a testy retort to Ducerne's scolding,
"Friend-Charles and I will attend to this Janus' holy man. If I'Katra wills my bow to aim true, I will hold my arrows until he mutters his spells, in hopes of making his magicks go awry. Charles can trouble him from closer in, as he knows best how to move and remain out of my eye when I loose my arrows."
Drawing his bow, Sepoto considers something for the first time, his hands stroking the newer arrows in his quiver. He turns to Ducerne before speaking, and Charles bites back another remark, not wanting to interrupt, but realizing Sepoto is trying to keep the orc in conversation to defuse their disagreement on the halfling's fearsomeness.
"Ducerne, who is this Ilya who once possessed these arrows?"

Kaelan looks at Durcerne and says confidently. "Death in not the end, my brother waits for me on the other side. I have no fear of death. I live for battle."
As he strides along he nods at Sepoto, "Indeed a good plan, but I think it hitting the heavily armored with the alchemist's fire and such will possibly distract the dim witted lizard man. If you do not agree, I will take a few flasks from you, I can throw two rather easily at the thing."
[sblock=ooc]I am really trying to stress the use of alchemist's fire against the heavily armored. They probably have an AC between 20 and 25. That is hard for me to hit. Touch attacks from the alchemists fire/frost/shock would work best. Charles and Sepoto can do the most damage per flask because of sudden strike, skirmish, and favored enemy. Hitting the bodyguard(or priest) with it in the first round I think would be the best option. We are talking for Sepoto 3d6 damage on the initial hit plus a full round action to extinguish or take another 1d6. If Charles can get skirmish(including FE), we are looking at 2d6+2 with the same in the second round. If I throw two as well that is another 2d6+4 plus 2d6 more a round later. Total against one enemy 7d6+6 in the first round and an additional 4d6 the second round. Seems pretty good to me. Afterword everybody else can mop up.[/sblock]

[sblock=XP]Everyone has gone up a level. Since the fight in the armory, everyone has earned
1,517 XP, bringing them to 10,394. If everyone could update their character sheet, I would appreciate it.[/sblock]
"Ilya? Ilya was a new addition to Janus' group. She was sent to retrieve the rest of the merchant's loot. From what I understand, she never returned."
As the group approaches the door to the barracks, Ducerne looks to Darrick and waits to see if the group will continue, or if Darrick will go inside.

Darrick meets Ducerne's gaze with a slight nod, and then clears his throat as he moves to Catherine's side. "A moment, please," he says to her, "There's something that I need to...investigate here."
If Catherines raises no objection, he moves to the door, pushes it open, and looks over the room as he enters.

Darrick steps over the three fallen bandits and moves to the left wall. He counts down three bunks, and finds the footlocker at the foot of the bed.
He finds that the locker is not locked, so he carefully opens it. he removes some clothing and other items before finding a very nice looking wooden box. The box is heavy, and at least three feet long.
Darrick removes it and sits it on the bed. The key he received fits easily inside the lock, and the box pops open.
Inside Darrick finds what looks like a ceremonial officer's longsword, that is razor sharp and well balanced. He also finds Ducerne's lieutenant rank insignia and a letter inside the box.
The letter is written in common, and Darrick glances over it.
Lieutenant Ducerne,
For your recent actions in the battle of Ten Tree Valley, we would like to acknowledge your devoted service with the following. First we would like to bestow upon you the Silver Cluster for your valor and commend you for the rescue of the 134th Infantry Company in the Valley. Without your actions, Thrane's army would have overrun the area much sooner and would have taken the lives of the valiant men and women in the service of Karrnath. Lastly we would like to promote you to the rank of Captain, and place you in command of the 312th Company.
Enclosed is your new rank insignia, and an officer's sword. May they serve you well Captain.
Congratulations Again,
Field Marshal Brevine
