The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Pyrex]

Nijel will signal to Aidan to take the reins of Ewan's mount, and then he will immediately fall in behind and to the left of Roak, since he has provided ample indication of our next moves.

OOC: I didn't see anywhere that Ewan dismounted, but if he did, Aidan will take the reins from Nijel

Initiative: 20

Moving quickly in reaction to the attack, Aidan places himself directly between Andor and the attackers. Once in position he launches an emerald blast at one of the ambushers.

Ranged Touch Attack: 17
Eldritch Blast Damage: 10

The Ambush

Initative

Ewan = 23
Kat = 22
Aidan = 20
Padraig = 17
Andor 10
Rhun 10
NIjel 10 (action held)
Alban = 7

Perhaps spooked by the sudden onrush of arrows, Ewan darts to the side and lets fly an arrow that goes wild into the treeline. Kat meanwhile moves off to the left into a flanking position along the trail leading past the ambush point. Aidan lets fly with his eldritch might and a high pitched scream can be heard from the brush. Padraing manuvers towards the back of the party so as to protect the youth his is carrying as well as cover the rest of the group. From the woods a voice says "King's man you say, thank god you have arrived" A slight human lad perhaps 14 steps from the brush with a hunting bow and turns back towards the treeline "It is okay, they are King's men" As several youth move toward the roadway several more scamper back as Roak and NIjel move towards them with drawn swords.

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin

"You speak as one who reveres our King. Then stand forth and be recognized by his Mighty Men, and lady."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Katherine Brightlaw

Once out of sight on the flanking trail, Katherine will dismount and 'ground tether' Caoimhe, then begin maneuvering to a position from whence she can observe without being herself observed.

The Ambush

OCC: Ummm Nijel, one stood up and moved from the treeline and motioned for the others to join him, they only dived back for cover when the hulkign walking armoury that is Nijel and Roak moved towards them.

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong

"An ye be men, stand forth again! We have nae harmed ye."

Nijel will attempt to Sense the Motive of the group that we are facing:

btw: Nijel does not have a drawn sword. It's a drawn battleaxe!

 

[Rhun]

"We are not your foes," says Roak, reigning in his horse and lowering his blade. "Though foes of us all are close behind. Our regiment was decimated, and orcs and ogiers flow freely into our lands."

 

[Neurotic]

Andor Anande de Andrade, Priest of Pelor

Stand forth, young ones, under the light of Pelor. We already have a one of your peers. It is possible you even know him. Motions for Padraig to come forward. We are indeed kings men and you have nothing to fear.

 

[Redclaw]

Padraig rides just far enough forward to let the youngsters see his charge, but not enough to make the boy an easy target if someone decides to shoot at him. Aye, lads. It's time to get you gone from here. Sadly the whole area is like to be overrun in short order. Your bravery shines brightly on your families, but even such stalwart lads as yourselves can't stand against the horde that's coming.

 

[Rhun]

"Indeed," says Roak, nodding in agreement with Padraig. "King and country have need of such courage," he continues. "We shall point you in the direction of the nearest of the King's forces, so that you may offer your services. Gwynedde requires your aid in this time of need."
