The Four Lands - The Great North Part 2

[Neurotic]

Vorian Tolgar

Me and Arrwuh can scout around on one side. Or even both at once. But we don't have numbers to prevent such a maneuver with so much civilians on the line.

Can onyone of you casters cast one of shelter spells? Maybe we can hide civilians or at least wounded ones inside while we fight? So we don't have to worry about teleporting enemies or stray fireballs.

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston looks around. He studies carefully the side of the valley that the dark forces are not surrounding. What is special about that side? Is it a dead-end? Are the dark forces trying to force us to move in a particular direction? What lies in that direction? If the answers to these questions are not obvious, Anniston will find and ask one of the tribesmen, preferably an officer or chief.

 

[Rhun]

Vadric moves to question the civilians about the dark force, and to see what aid he might provide to them.

Vorian Tolgar

We should do something! Arrwuh, go scout that open end of the valley, see if you can find something that would help us get civilians out or a reason why they want us there.

I'll go scout little bit to the right.

Here, Bertrand, if we need to gather quickly use this. Once sounded I'll be back as soon as possible. Arrwuh will come too.

Vorian hands small whistle to Bertrand and mounts Delilah riding right and toward the approaching darkness.

Bertrand

With a nod, Bertrand slips the whistle into an inner pocket and swings smoothly into the saddle. He wheels his horse around and rides off to scout his side of the valley, his dog trotting at the horse's heels.

The Refugees

The party mounts it's scouting expedition and discovers that yes indeed they do have the numbers to effectively surrond you and that there are more coming in ...the open part you feel is a well baited trap to get you to move from the defensive poistion. During the few hours your are scourting and assessing the situation.....the tribesmen still contiue to work on a defensive position. Having dug the a trench and created a small breastwork along three 4 5'ths of the small enclousre they are now placing torches and digging fire pits that the part observed earlier...what appears to be shamamns are going about the area placing various powders etc..

for jaroth

OCC: Sorry guys at a conferecne in col springs they have had us in training etc...that and the food and booze have almost put me into a coma

 

[J. Alexander]

OCC: anyone seen DRACO

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

Bertrand reports what he has seen and encourages his people to pitch in where they can or stay out of the way and get some rest.

He gathers with the others trying to figure out a strategy. "Is there any way we can do something offensive while our friends prepare their defenses?"

 

[Neurotic]

Strategy

JA, we need a map of surrounding area and also, if possible, description of potential threats and possiblities of gerilla attacks while the attacks prepares (maybe on that wing of the enemy that is trying to ambush us?) or moving column still trying to get behind us?

I believe there are at least three strategist in the party and our combined might and inteligence, along with reasonably well known area should result in some damage to attackers...

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth will commune with nature to determine the presence and location of Drakkar or otherworldly beings in the area.
