The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Redclaw]

Tired of hanging back, Padraig guides Asgell through the press of horse and soldier to get to the nearest ogier. When the beast finally looms in front of him, the dragon shaman brings his dragon-headed mace around in a vicious arc, that somehow manages to miss the ogier completely.
[sblock=ooc] move up and attack the nearest ogier (still trying to keep everyone within my 30' aura) and attack (1d20+7)=11
The ring's power used up, Padraig keeps only his Energy Shield aura up. [/sblock]

Aura--Energy Shield--4 fire damage to anyone who attacks my allies with melee or natural attacks.

Sorry about that. I was with my face to face group yesterday, being killed by an aspect of Tiamat.

The Ambush

Aidan 20
Kat 19
Padraig 18
Nijel 16
Ewan 14
Ogers - 4
Roak 10
Alban 7
Orcs - 11
Andor 6

From his position of support, Aidan sends his magic into the ogier (o9) striking the small creature forceable and causing him to fall. Kat also unleashes her magic against one of the ogiers and a bluish dart slams into the creature causing no visable damage. Padraig moves to meet the ogier attempting to flank the party and while not managing a blow does manage to distract him. Nijel seeing that the party is continuing it's fight engages the Ogier at N11 and lands a solid blow. Ewan meanwhile conintues his harrasment of the orcs neatly droping yet another opponet. The Ogiers now in a rage lash out at Nijel, Padraig, and the armored figure of Alban. The party is stunned by their attack as all three attacks connect but with no great harm being done to the party. (Nijel 6 points of damage, Padraig 7 points of damage and Alban 10 points of damage) Perhaps maddend by the physical assault upon his friend, Roak step towards one of the ogiers and neatly cleaves him showering all within 10 feet with blood. Alban moves up to attack but in the swirling melee is unsuccessful. With their numbers constantly being reduced and seeing the blood gore which were the main shock troops, the orcs break and begin to retreat. Andor continues to add healing strenght to the party.

ACTIONS

 

[Rhun]

Rhun - Roak "Cairnwalker" - Warblade

Roak smiles through the ogier blood that has splattered his face and body; this was where the warrior loved to be: steel in hand, blood spraying, and the foe falling before he and his companions. The nearest enemy dead, Cairnwalker steps forward and engages the next ogier, Widow's Lament whistling through the air like the blade of an avenging angel.

[Redclaw]

Padraig, Dragon Shaman 4, 15/38 HP, AC 19 (16 FF; 13 T) Fort +7, Ref +4, Will +5

Padraig watches the orcs flee, a strong sense of satisfaction in the mighty teamwork shown by his unit. Remember, lads. Our mission is to report, not to chase these fools. Let's ride on. He continues to press his attack on the ogier in front of him, landing a solid blow with his mace this time.
With a thought, he switches his aura back to the healing warmth of the dragon saint.

Padraig watches the ogiers flee

Only the orcs are fleeing, the ogiers have not yet broken rank. At least, that was how I read JA's post.

True enough, Rhun. Thanks for the correction. I have adjusted my post accordingly.

 

[Scotley]

Alban Cleric/Divine Mind AC 22 HP 14

Angry at getting hit again, Alban spurs his mount forward and attacks (1d20+9=27) one of the remaining ogres. He lands a decent blow (1d12+8=12) on his over-sized foe.

OOC: Everyone within 10' gets +1 to AC from Alban, but I'm not sure exactly where he is now. Most likely N9.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Katherine Brightlaw

Well, it lacks my usual flair, but . . .

"Diúracán!"

With the word, another bluish bolt issues forth from Katherine's outstretched finger, striking true into the breast of the ogier being attacked by Alban.

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin, AC21(Thanks Alban) 24/49 hp

Nijel reaches out to lovingly caress the insides of the ogre at N11 once again with his trusty axe: 26 to hit, 12 damage! http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1453154/

"Yes, Roak, the orcs don't seem to have the nerve necessary to stand up to us, do they? But we are certainly giving these brave ogres fair compensation for sticking around, aren't we?"

 

[Dracomeander]

"One last volley at the orcs to keep them running, lads. Then you should be able to get out of those trees. Let us just dispatch these last ogiers, and we'll be ready to continue on and get you out of this zone."

Ewan slides back to the south looking for an opening to shoot into the ogiers. He finally decides to send a shaft at the healthiest looking ogier.
