Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

[Rhun]

Turo shakes his head, a grim look upon the gnome's craggy features. "Well, I'm not one to advocate a fight against folk that are not of an evil nature, but it seems we have a problem. We need to continue on in this direction, and these people seek to bar our way. If this, indeed, is our path, than let me take a moment to cast a spell or two."

Keldar shouts: "Let us pass. We have no intention of having you meet your gods. If you try to stop us, you will."

This is Keldar's last shot at avoiding violence. He readies his bow, keeming his chain within reach. He says "if our casters don't have a trick up their sleeves, I'm afraid we'll have to fight them"

In the name of Saracor – as no post are coming from him.

I'll lead, Maor ride with me.
Says Garon and adjust his armor and weapons
We must proceed, in the name of his majesty and the holy cause of the land.
Wizards, prepare yourselves.
Say the grumpy dwarf.
The Ketties are tricky and will use non respectful strategies.

You travel another 100 ft. towards the huts and the Ketties.
The two fighters up ahead begin to bump weapon on shield and armor as inviting you to the battle they untie two horses and mount.
One of the humans in the back reveal himself as a wizard as he levitates himself up the steep cliff without the help of a rope or a ladder, the mage reaches to the top and vanish behind the line of sight. last seen in (E10)
Another human, again a wizard advance an stands before the fighter, for all of you to see he vanish from sight. last seen in (K18)


[sblock=Rhun] you wrought Turo cast a spell or two, what spells?
know that it will take time to arrive to the Ketties, so short duration spells will fade

How long will it take to reach the Ketties?

"It doesn't seem like words will resolve this issue". Maor casts protection from evil and then rides forward with Garon. "Too hasty" he admonishes him. "I wish to summon more allies before I join the battle in person, delay them!".

OOC: I assume that given Garon's "command" Maor didn't fully dismount. I need time to cast summon-monster and buff spells, but we'll see how the battle unfolds.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

OK, I going to enter combat mode with rounds.
Riding with horses to meet the Ketties is 180 ft. per second.
You are about ~800 ft. (just check the map, 1 square is 5ft.)
Cast spells as you wish and prepare.
check out the spoiler box in the previuos post - there is a spoiler box - Range and movement.
The Initiative order is:
Eliyyad
Hrapp
Keldar
Aharif
Allyra
Gorash
Maor
Turo
Saddam
Mustafa
Fatiha
Garon

[sblock=OOC]Strahd, I make it 680 ft from Eliyadd to the invisible mage. Therefore, if he moves his full speed (30 ft) to L148, he will be 650 ft from the mage and his fireball - yes, he is going to cast Fireball - will detonate 10 ft this side of the enemy. Since its area of effect is a 20 ft radius spread, it should catch him.[/sblock]
Eliyyad shakes his head and says to Zariq, "You see, little one, how pride comes before a fall. Had he not made a point of drawing attention to himself, he would not have got ... burnt."

The sorcerer's fingers have been digging into his spell pouch as he speaks, and at the last word he flicks a small, smelly ball towards the spot where the enemy mage stood, accompanying it with a rapid flourish of his fingers and a single, sharp syllable like the screech of suddenly melting glass. The resultant magical energy flies swiftly and surely to a point of blossoming flame just in front of his opponent. The fwump of its explosion reaches the party a split second after they see it, then is magnified in opposing echoes.

Allyra

With the hostilities openly declared, there was no peaceful way out of this conflict now. Going through her options, Allyra decides to get closer for now and directs her horse towards the Ketties' camp, while she creates a protective shield around her.


OOC: Casting Shield while riding closer (horse: Double Move 120 ft. to G131), staying away from other party members to avoid making a tasty area effect target.

 

[Saracor]

"We'll have to ride them down at this point and hope not to get shot out of the saddle." Garon exclaims as he spurs Arodan into position.
"I'll try to draw them out to me, keep up and then get a good line on them when you are in range" he'll shout back to the group behind him and charges down the road.

"FOR KING AND COUNTRY! FURYONDY!"

Garon will draw his sword, set his shield and charge down the road with Arodan, keeping full speed up until he is within about 200' of the lead member of the group.

 

[Steve Gorak]

" So it begins" Keldar will ride closer to the ennemi, and fire a couple of arrows at the most exposed foes (likely A or H). He's aware that the chances of success are slim, but just in case he gets lucky...

Then, he grabs his chain and charges A or H, whichever is already engaged. His goal is to remain 10 ft away and to flank.
