I'll write more this evening or tomorrow.Breaking Cat, day 2Dark, hungry spirits shrieked in the air around Greppa, as he tried to half-twist, half-fall away from their grasping, clawing hands... and then the first boulder hit, cracking his left leg at the thigh, and followed closely by its brother into his right arm and ribs. The illusionist managed to evade most of the flaying spirits, and sped ahead of him as he willed his flight as fast as he could.As he flew upslope, fireballs streaked past him downslope to punish anyone staying outside the protective cover of the trees to target Greppa. A faint, stacatto whump rewarded Greppa's keen ears, and he sincerely hoped at least one of the shamans had gotten a faceful.He bounced off the earth, adding an insulting landing to his injury, and thanked the gods for his foresight in asking Inertas for her stoneskin spell - without it, he was fairly certain he would be dead.Far down the mountain, the sound of Breaking Cat laughter could be heard.Breaking Cat, week 1They did not attack all that day, instead contenting themselves to trade the occasional flaying spirits summoning for a fireball or two, while the giants kept their eyes open for appearing Theralese arcanists. Every once in a while a boulder would lob gracefully and swiftly upslope when an arcanist's illusionist wasn't quite quick enough, but there were no actual casualties.This continued, with two bouts of violence where the orcs attempted their two-pronged attempt again, but the lines held. Greppa, unable to safely enter the airspace near the orcs, alternated with Thelanna on the Stone, but did not attempt to channel it - a brief attempt had taught him that it was exhausting, and he preferred the flexibility of his spells.By the end of the week, almost no one on either side had died, and tempers were beginning to fray. There was talk about a push to force the orcs into a toe-to-toe fight where the Theralis military machine could do some damage.Captain Agina advised against it, but was overruled by the Generals. Ever loyal, Agina began to gather the people best suited to achieving the goals of her superiors.</blockquote>
