Seeing the onrushing figure of Nijel the ogier lifts his hands torwards the Paladin and several dark purplish bolts spring from his hand striking the young paladin solidly in the chest for 15 points of damage. Having cleared the immediate combat area with the help of his friends. Roak presses his attack against the original spell caster. Perhaps due to fatigue or mistiming, the ironcald warriors attack is less successful than he was hoping for. Feeling the force of the bolts does not deter the eager paladin but it does effect his attack but his movment does help consolidate the party. Closing with his foe, Nijel delives a solid attack against him. Changing tactics, the two new spellcasters, point to the 4 new ogiers and in a harsh gutteral languange extend their hands towards them. Padraig moves to support Roak, but is unable to make an effective attack against the spell caster. Scanning the 4 ogiers closest two her, Kat makes a tacticle decsion and with great skill and grace moves to cofront the spellcaster being assaulted by her party. Sprinting towards the figure she catches him from behind and with two deft strokes causes the spellcaster to fall with great sheets or arterial blood spraying the party. The four new Ogiers, continue to close upon the party. Once again the youngester's send forth a shower of arrows but to no effect against the oncoming orcs. Aidan contiues to scan the area for developments, and having no clear shot moves westward to join the concertration of party members. Alban heading the shouted advice moves to help support the soon to be enbattled youths. Moving to cover Alban in his movement to aid the youths, Ewan sends a arrow flying at one of the distant spellcasters, hoping to distract him. While scoring a hit, Ewan is unsure as to it's overall effect on the creature. Contiuning is effective role in keeping the party up and fighting, Andor once again extends for his healing aid towards the figure or Roak deliveing 14 points of much needed aid.

ACTIONS

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, current hp: 17 out of 49, AC20

Nijel continues his attack against the ogier: 28 to hit, damage=6.
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1424455

OOC: Does Nijel just happen, maybe, possibly to be within the reach of Padraig's Auras? Nijel sure would appreciate a little healing, and some help with this big, mean, slant-eyed ogier would be nice too....

Nijel whistles for his mount, St. Josiah, as he faces this present foe. "St. Josiah! To me, Boy," he cries.

 

[Scotley]

Alban Cleric/Divine Mind

Alban continues to move toward the youths and releases his memoried blessing to cure (1d8+3=6) himself.

OOC: After the cure Alban remains down to only 19 hp.

 

[Redclaw]

Is everyone remembering the fast healing 2? It only works if you're at or below half of your total hp, but that's most of us now, no?

 

[Pyrex]

Aidan Bladesong, Warlock, 27/27hp

Guiding his mount northwest to O14, Aidan unleashes another blast at the magi standing in their path.

EB Touch Attack: 21
EB Damage: 9

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Katherine Brightlaw - HP 8/27;AC 23

The diminutive rogue sheaths Knave and reaches quickly into a beltpouch, coming up with a pinch of black powder. Tossing the powder onto the breeze, she mutters a few quick syllables: "Éirigh bideach!"

[sblock=Action]Casting Reduce Person on Ogier at N10 - Fortitude Save DC 15 or be reduced to 1/2 height/width and 1/8 weight, one size category smaller (weapon damage and reach reduced, +2 DEX, -2 STR, +1 AC and TH).[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Padraig, Dragon Shaman 4, 16/38 HP, AC 19 (16 FF; 13 T) Fort +7, Ref +4, Will +5

Padraig stays close to his companions, hoping to provide some assistance to those better equiped to take down the enemy.

If the ogier magi near him is still up, he'll attack it with his mace. (1d20+7)=17 Damage (1d8+3)=11

If the Ogier is down he will move just northwest of the leading edge of the group.

He also activates the Ring of the Dragon Saint, so for the next 4 rounds two of his auras will be active.

Auras--Vigor--Fast healing 2 for those at or below half hit points
--Energy Shield--Fire Resistance 10

Andor Anande de Andrade, sunray of Pelor

Andor Anande de Andrade, HP 25/36; AC 19; saves F 6/R 4/W 7

Quickly scanning his companions for wounds Andor decides to burn one of his last spells for one last healing before combat resumes...

Nijel, Katherine, I see you're both severely wounded. I'd heal Nijel as he is more front line fighter and thus more likely to get hurt, but if you two agree differently, I'll heal Katherine instead.

Andor waits for either fast healing to stop working or melee combat becomes imminent before casting.
OOC2: I believe two rounds of healing before Nijel gets above half his HP...

Pelor, turn your face to this man and shine life-light onto him!
Healing 9 hp to Nijel

I'll keep Obscuring spell for when we round the children.
Children, make haste now, we are going to ride out, one of you to each of us, hurry!

OOC: Andor has farm-boy and infant on his horse, he is full for the time being...
OOC2: As we ride out, Andor casts Obscuring mist on the road as soon as they clear last of the opponents so as to maximaly cover us. It is 4 minutes long, 20 ' wide and 20' high dome of mist.

OOC3: If Andor could shape it, it would be wall 5' thick, 15' tall and 80' wide (or as wide as volume allows, I didn't do full math I'll do this verbaly in prayer to Pelor...

Katherine Brightlaw - HP 10/28; AC 23

OOC:

It appears I misunderstood the situation - I thought we were still being directly attacked by the new set of Ogier/OMs. If that's not the case, Katherine will hold that spell for now and prepare to ride w/ the party (are we planning to head South and try to break through the Orcs before the Ogier catch us?)

OOC discussion

I'd prefer to ride over two mages west, there is road and we can ride faster, then we turn south again...but Andor voices not such thoughts, riding south allows us to take Ewan and the child there along the way...and we could have some trees for cover.
