The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

Kyalia

Seeing Saxon handling the innkeeper, Kyalia heads to one of the windows to quickly glance outside before getting back into cover, to find out what's going on and more importantly... how bad it is.

Laurel says to Kyalia, "I think its time for you to use the Sword. Its the protector of this town." as she draws her bow and looks for a target to shoot at.

Kiyalia looks outside and sees several stout figures in dark armor, chain mail with a motif of fire and hammers worked into the designs. They look to be dwarves with dark gray skin and piercing almost glowing yellow eyes. And they are attacking en masse, she sees more then twenty individuals marching on the village, killing and razing all that stands in their path.

In the distance a war horn sounds, coming from the directions of the mines.

Saxon gets a 28 total on the check; he saves the innkeeper from death.

The innkeeper gurgles and clenches Saxon’s shoulder tightly, “My daugh… my daughter… upstairs… save…” he collapses, breathing heavily alive but obviously suffering from his injury through his neck.
 


Kyalia

“There are two dozen or more of them. Grey-skinned dwarves.”

The cleric then tries to find a good spot, from where she can hinder their approach with a well-placed Entangle spell, hoping to catch as many of them as possible.

Afterwards, she moves to the door, drawing the magical sword.
 


Saxon's brow furrowed. The innkeeper was alive now but the extraction of the arrow would be a difficult and risky job when the time came. He could fulfill what was asked of him though.

"Mzarem, protect," he said, then gave a short whistle and indicated Kyalia, "I'm going upstairs for a moment, people.

With that he hustled upstairs, seeking out the innkeepers daughter. Mzarem trotted over to protect the elven cleric, grim determination eminated from the wolf in its desire to fulfill Saxon's request.

Mzarem will attack anyone who tries to harm Kyalia.
 

Laurel rolls 24 a critical threat and then an 11 a normal hit for 8 taking one dwarf down, and then a 24 again, followed by a 13 also a normal hit for 4 points. Enthalus rolls an 8 and misses his mark.

The heroes strike back with arrows and divine magic! Laurel finds her mark twice, taking down one of the attack dwarves and wounding another with her arrows. Enthalus aids her attack but does not find the mark as Kyalia unleashes her magic and entangles much of the vanguard of the fighting force. The dwarves behind them break formation in an orderly manner and take cover.

The numbers of the force are growing… it is only a matter of time before the heroes are overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The dwarves are preparing to return fire…

Upstairs in the Inn

Saxon makes his way upstairs and finds a door slightly ajar and muffled sounds coming from within, a harsh voice speaking in a whispered tone, a tongue that the druid does not understand. He looks forward and sees that a wooden shutter is open, and he can hear the sounds of violence outside.

He hears a woman’s whimper.
 

Saxon takes out his sword and shield, bracing himself for combat, then he bursts through the door. If he can strike at the woman's attacker without the risk of hitting her he shall.

attack +1, scimitar d6/18-20
