Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Campaign (ToEE) - Continued

Zirat

Zirat backs to the top of the stairs.
The army is coming and the leader is very upset, I'm ashamed to say we can flee again ... and we should stop thinking about taking a prisoner, we first need to stay here for a longer period of one hour.

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]My computer is back. I will be busy reinstalling and crap, but I should have enough time to post regularly.[/sblock]
[sblock=Rhun & Voadam]Aeron looks at Sir Merrick, and the Last Prophet's expression turns morose. "I follow your lead, knight, but if we are pinned between the enemy below, and these," he nods to the north door, "We will be overcome."[/sblock]
Aloud, Aeron calls down the stairs to the others, "Enemy reinforcements come from up here."

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Oh gods... No one listens to me..." Shoon mumbles under his breath.

 

[Voadam]

Sir Merrick, ready to smite

"Caltrops down there now! There's Plenty to kill up here as we carve our way out."

Sir Merrick readies a javelin for the first enemy he sees.

 

[Dog Moon]

"So um, does anyone have a plan?" Deren asks as he throws a dagger at the nearest enemy before retreating to the top of the stairs behind the gladiator, "Or is this going to be another bitter fight to the end of us or them?"

 

[Rhun]

Ciaran's glitterdust explodes into blinding particles, and you can hear the cries and shouts of dismay from the guards. The wizard flees up the stairs, followed by Shoon and Zirat. Merrick begins tossing out caltrops, as the rest of you prepare for battle.

Actions? Positions? Let me know what the plan is...

-MAP-

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Out! secure the main hall and he other entrances, I'll watch the stairs.

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Plan..." Shoon mumbles. "There is never a plan..." He heads towards the doorway and looks out to hopefully get a better idea of the situation.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"Plan? I thought we were going to destroy the front ranks in melee while they were blinded, but now that we're barricading ourselves in a nice, fireball-sized space, let's at least take down as many of them as possible before the magical artillery arrives."

Ciaran fires his crossbow into the front ranks and reloads.

Pending actions from Voadam, Dog Moon and Dichotomy


As Zirat and Ciaran move to engage those coming up the stairs, Shoon rushes to the door and cracks it open, peering out in the Great Chapel of Elemental Evil.


[sblock=For Dire Lemming]
Peeking out the door into the dimness of the Great Chapel, Shoon sees humanoid forms flitting about across the way, taking up positions behind pillars and altar as they move toward his position.

Shoon guesses that the companions have maybe half a minute or less before the enemy is dug in and they lose any chance of escape without a major battle.
