The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

[Voadam]

"Why no, no I have not. But than in the gutters, one never hears bad stories about old ladies who live alone in the woods."

"Well then I'll have to tell you about the Yaga, an ogress older than the druids. And the tale of the step-dragon. And the Sea Witch who trades wishes to young maiden's for everlasting pain. Or the Queen of the Dawn, beautiful and terrible in her magical might. Oh and then there is the tale of the Winter Witch, cruel and corrupting giantess of power. You've truly never heard of any of these? Well then you are in for a treat later. They are wonderful tales. But I think they can wait until we are not so actively engaged."

Kyalia

Kyalia had remained in the back, while the others had chatted with the uppity halfling lady, and waited impatiently, while Laurel and Dolan were scouting ahead. The rain didn't bother her, however, being quite used to the weather outside.

As Dolan urges the rest to help Laurel, who had run into two humanoid guards, Kyalia acts quickly and follows the directions given to help the ranger.

 

[Ranger Rick]

As the others surge forward, Dolan stops and takes a deep breath, than runs after everyone else.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Saxon directs Mzarem to attack the closest of the two enemies, while he launches a slingstone at whichever is not engaged in combat by the time he gets opportunity.

Saxon: +0, d4

Mzarem: +3, d6+3

 

[Voadam]

Cursing that he doesn't even yet know what they are engaging, Enthalus moves forward and to the side to set up a possible crossfire with his bow.

 

[Evil Ujio]

The humanoids spot Laurel and one sounds a horn before she lets her horn fly, crossing the nearly one hundred feet between them easily striking the figure square in the chest. It drops its horn and collapses back into the brush. The second figure immediately begins to help drag his companion back to the camp as the party descends down the incline towards the hidden encampment.

Laurel rolls a 24 and does 6 points of damage one of the humanoids is down! The second is now dragging his companion to the camp, he covers 20 feet during the “surprise” round. The figure has 40 feet to go before he reaches the camp! There is 120 feet between the party and the humanoids.

Initiative: Kyalia 19, Mzarem 19, Saxon 17, Dolan 16, Enthalus 14, Laurel 6, Humanoids 5

Round 1 now begins…

Kyalia

Not being one to wait long for a more elaborate plan, Kyalia charges forward, once she sees the humanoid figure ahead, hoping to intercept the guard, before it can return to the encampment. She moves along the side of Laurel's line of fire, so she does not hinder her shooting.

OOC: Run 110' ending her move 10' away from the humanoid guard.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Dolan having no range weapon, runs/charges to the humaniods.

 

[Voadam]

Enthalus moves forward to get in a shot with his bow.

 

[Endur]

Laurel moves 30' forward and shoots the humanoid dragging his companion.
