The Four Lands

[Scotley]

Angelo Human Mage

"Good evening gentlemen," he nods politely to the women, "Ladies". Looking pointedly at the men of the patrol Angelo says, "Isn't in nice that ladies may walk the streets of our neighborhood without fear now? Wouldn't you agree gentlemen? I'm particularly ill desposed toward those who would molest ladies on the street. Indeed, I favor castration by fire personally." For emphasis the head of his staff bursts into flame. "As luck would have it we are going your way ladies. If you'd be so kind as to lead on we'll all escort you." He guestures them forward and bows deeply.

Lucien Montrose

Lucien smiles at Marcus' gentle joke. "Ah, I've been on a few of those 'invigorating morning rides' myself. My last commander liked to think that sleeping past three in the morning showed sloth in a soldier. Still, we were seldomly unprepared for 'surprise attacks at dawn' by the enemy. Your diligence, sir, is what keeps this land free from the Dark tides."

Response

Brother Lucien

"I would say more a steady hand and sharp spear, but it all works out the same" the Captain Answeres. "What path are you wishing to take?"

For Angelo

Somewhat startled by his pronucemnet, one of the young ladies tenativley accepts his offer of escourt and ask him if he would mind taking them to the Purple Dasiy"

Angelo Human Mage

"We'd be honored ma'am." He orders his men to lead and walks with the ladies.

OOC: I assume these are ladies of the evening on their way to work? How did the men react to Angelo's implied threat.

Angelo - 2nd Night

The men were nervous at angelo's comment but before he can put his finger on it, crossbow bolts from on high begin to rain down on his men. There are sufficent bolts that at least 4 men are slain outright from the volly. Care to roll initative.

Angelo Human Mage

"Sneaky Bastards!" Angelo raises his staff and calls forth its greatest power. A wall of fire in a great violet ring erupts around the roof tops.

OOC: Initiative (1d20+3=5)

Those actually caught in the wall itself take 2d6+9 fire damage, those within 10' take 2d4 and those from 10'-20' away take 1d4 all save for half. The ring can be 45' radius.

Angelo - 2nd night

Angelo Raises his staff and begins speaking the words of power. Instanlty a ring of violet fire rings his troops and the ladies. Screams can be heard coming from inside the ring and outside. Looking into the ring, Angelo discovers that his actions were not quick enought, three more of his men and one of the ladies are down with multliple bolt wounds.

OOC: Are my men equiped to ruturn fire?

Angelo - 2nd Night

Alas Angelo observes that his men are equiped with cudgles and shortswords

"I would say more a steady hand and sharp spear, but it all works out the same" the Captain Answeres. "What path are you wishing to take?"

"My final destination lies to the southeast of the Valley, so my path leads through there. The Trade Road was to be my route through the Unclaimed Lands, but I did not plan to travel it until closer to the border. With what you have been seeing, I ask you would it be better for me to take the shortest route to the Trade Road, or would I be safe going more through the countryside? The inns are nice, and if my purse was fatter and I more indulgent in Sloth, I would follow them. But my task is of importance to my Order, and I need to travel light and fast. If you and your troop were patrolling in the direction of my travels, I would enjoy riding with you on the morrow, if it would not hamper your own mission."
