The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

Did Nijel not get hurt in that combat? LOL. Lucky dog!


"Do not worry, my friend," says Roak to Nijel. "Once we reach the Lord Marshall, I am fair sure we will be striking back at our foe soon enough."

"I care not a fig for myself! This corporeal vessel in my armor is subject to recall by its creator at any moment! If I can take another orc or ogier with me when I go, then I will be just that much happier!"

OOC: I think I'm onto something here: The tension between Nijel's "holiness"/"joe paladin schtick" and the utter bloodthirst that underlies it! :D :lol: :lol:

Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

"Aye. I'm done here, sir.

"Lads, your shooting does you credit. Go gather your friends and head west. Our scouts will find you and guide you to the Lord Marshall. I'm sure he would be pleased to have such brave and competent shots join us in the coming battles.

"If all are ready, our path leads this way at fair pace."


Ewan remounts and takes the lead heading down the road until the brush falls away and allows a more direct route cross country.

Rhun - Roak Cairnwalker - Warblade

Roak waits for the rest of the group to move out, and again brings up the rear. He frowns in concern at the blood streaking Halcyon's white coat, and only hopes that the destrier has the endurance to push on to the Lord Marshall's encampment.
 

Andor

OOC: with Aid another (+2) from Alban, second roll for Padraig is successful as is first for Aidan which leaves last roll for Andor...
OOC2: AD&D had rule about that, healing skill returned 1d6-3hp or some such...


"Thank you, brother Alban. This was an ugly burn. It's always problem with metalic armors, they heat up."

OOC3: was anybody hurt with slashing weapon? If yes Andor casts Mending on armor

Approaching Roak before mounting, Andor briefly touches Halcyons wound which stops bleeding and scabs slightly (healed 1hp)

"Here, Commander, this should ease you on your way."

Andor then returns to his horse and mounts behind teen holding the infant.

OOC4: Would it be faster if Andor walked?
 

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

Padraig, as usual, stays toward the middle of the group, hoping his aura will reach everyone. Once the fast healing has done its job for everyone (everyone is at half hit points or better) he will switch to his sense aura.

aura--senses--+2 to listen, spot, search and initiative rolls
 

Nijel Bladesong, 44/49hp, AC20

Nijel takes his post just behind the scout(s?), his axe stowed for now in it's sheath on his saddle, and his gleaming blue armor soaking up as much of the limelight as possible, as Saint Josiah strides proudly toward the goal. :D

"Which is better brother, one orc dead today or four tomorrow? The better you care for yourself the more orcs will end up dead at your blade."

"Aidan, I've said it before and I'll say it again: You think too much! Anyway, it will take more than four measley orcs to bring me down, I hope. Nevertheless, you do have a point. I wouldn't want you to grieve for me overmuch."
 

The Ambush

The party of ten youngsters who were out hunting it seems when the raid started quickly assembles and sets out towards the west on food. There is much concern among them for their familes but having witnessed the brutal combat are more than accepting of the partys orders. Cleansing themself of the grime from the combat the party reassembles and sets out some ten minutes later towards the west/southwest. As they set out, in the distance horns and drums can be heard fainntly on the wind behind them. Moving along the trail, Ewan and Kat easily spot signs of combantats moving to and from the area but most appear to have been converging at the ambush point. Scanning the sky more plumes of smoke can be seen rishing into the sky both behind and ahead of the party. Around 4pm the party arrives at another burnt out farm this time finding two men dressed in the regiments livery skewered by arrows.
