Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 92248" data-attributes="member: 114">Apparently the two chief villains decide to have a "sporting" competition, and the priest launches a searing light spell at Trajan, wounding him even more, while the blessed launches a pair of firebolts at M'ir - both of which hit, neither of which he manages to save against and evade... and M'irs charred body drops to the floor.The webs are engulfed in flames, ignited by the magic spells; Trajan grapples the confused Azrin and bodily carries him out of the front door. As Lysander and K'tan prepare to recover M'irs body two groups of hobgoblin warriors appear from the wings of the hall and charge toward the door. With the entire company virtually at deaths door they decide that the only option they have is to run for it, and they escape out the main entrance and round to where their horses were tied up. Heedless of the sound, they mount up and ride for their lives out of the forest.Meanwhile - M'ir is not actually dead. The hobgoblins notice that he is alive but fading, so the ochre-robed priest calls upon dark forces to prevent him bleeding to death.Captured by the hobgoblins he is placed in a cell for later interrogation and sacrifice. Recognising that he doesn't have much hope unless he escapes, M'ir uses up his "dimension slide tattoo" to appear the other side of the barred window of his small cell, and then he carefully creeps away into the night, to attempt to rejoin his friends...DMs note: what a fiasco - routed by the Hobgoblins (with some heavy magical help). Trajan and Azrin want to go back to try and "take them", but Lysander alone seems to recognise that at the moment the company is simply unable to match the temple in a frontal assault. They decide to return to Knightsbridge to lick their wounds, recover and plan Next game this Sunday - and they will be taking a side trek into "Of Sound Mind" by Piratecat. Will the magic rub off?</blockquote>
