The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Dracomeander]

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan steps lightly out of reach of the pike, calling down after Nijel stops himself.

"Ho, lad! I applaud your bravery and aim, but we are kingsmen here to help you. Could you come up here to relate the tale of what happened here? We need to vacate these premises before more foemen come."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Ambush

At Ewan's declaration of being a kingsman the voice of a young boy can be heard coming from the depths. "Can you help me I dont fell well"...Investigating the opening a set of spiral steps can be seen going down making a tight circle whose center is hollow in a roughly five foot area.

The crackle and smoke of a fresh fire is evident as the barns and building are torched.

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light, played by Leif

Hoping to be able to redeem himself somewhat, Nijel says, "One moment lad. Can you move up here into the sunlight? I'll just go and fetch my healer's notions." Nijel will then return to St. Josiah, and get his healer's kit from his saddlebags.

OOC: Hopefully, the boy will be out of the hole by the time Nijel returns. If not, we'll just have to see what comes next.

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan glances at the others.

"Just a moment, lad. Is there anyone else with you?"

Then Ewan heads down the stairs to see what condition the lad is in. He remains cautious about possible tricks but hurries as much as possible.

The Ambush

"Just my sister" the boy replies. Descending into the cellal it becomes obvious from the scent of curing meat and vegetiables that the place is used as a storage cellar. Coming out into a room some 20 feet wide and running with a slight curve about 80 feet Ewan and company find a boy of perhaps ten. The most obivious feature about his is the long bore spear on the ground and two arrows protruding from his shoulder and lower left abdomen.

I need everyones's actions and what they are doing please.

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light played by Leif

Nijel will get his healer's kit from St. Josiah's saddlebags at once and proceed down to join the others in the cellar.

"Let's see now, why don't we start with those nasty arrow wounds?" Nijel will begin the treatment process, but will stop immediately if any unexpected complications arise. Healing skill check = 1d20+7 = 20. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1370854 "Now, perhaps one of our holy men can complete this task?"

 

[Rhun]

Roak remains above ground while the others move into the cellar to tend to the boy. While Alban tends to the burning of the homestead, Cairnwalker remains vigilant, keeping his eyes open for trouble.

 

[Scotley]

Alban fires all the structures except the house with the baby bed in case the infant is found alive.

 

[Pyrex]

Pyrex - Aidan Bladesong - Warlock

As his brother continues down into the storage cellar to coax out whomever may be down there, Aidan stays above; keeping watch.

 

[Redclaw]

Padraig remains above ground as well, riding back out of the settlement periodically to keep an eye on the approaching forces.
