Veera climbs into the sentry tower at the entry gate explaining that she can best use her bow from there and asking if there are any more arrows about town.[gm]Marmeren, who is old enough to be either man's grandfather despite is unwavering fortitude, expresses that he glad to have such strong lads and directs them toward the others who have agreed to go forth should the cause arise. That group is gathering at the eastern sentry tower to survey the land and plane movements.Marmeren barks a quick command in Orngaddrin and a child runs from the smithy carrying a bundle of 20 arrows with harnin (Iron) heads, handing them to Renyaveer. Marmeren suggests that she join her friend on top of the sentry tower.A couple of Orngaddrin old enough to be Mekric's parents cheerfully explain the working of the catapult. They are very factual and descriptive without the least hint of any displeasure or condescension. Mekric grasps the concept quickly. The couple crank the wench that bends the lever arm telling Mekric where to hook the loop of rope that holds the crank in place. When they time comes, they agree to let Mekric knock the rope loose to release the first bucket.Arbrine, who is atop the sentry post using a crenelation for cover, knocks on the roof when she sees the first column of soldiers nearing.[/gm]The sentry responds in Eastabin, "I see them. I see them."He calls out in Orngaddrin. The artillery couple begin, what is obviously, counting in Orngaddrin. The sentry yells one word and the artillery signal Mekric to loose.[gm]Arbrine cannot specifically see the volley of rocks, as the first bucket contained rather small ones, but she can see their affect. The first column of soldiers look as if they stumbled into a swarm of angry bees. The column breaks formation immediately with men scattering as best they can. Several go down in the process. Orders can be heard being yelled from farther away. The first column of men is in complete disarray but a second column is still coming.Those working with the catapult begin cranking the gear as quickly as they can while more fill the bucket with larger stones. Arbrine can see that, though very effective, the catapult is slow, and if the soldiers get close enough it will be rendered useless.[/gm][sblock=Character Data]Nalvis: full healthMekric: full healthAbrine: full healthRekyavik: full healthRenyaveer: full healthflint arrows: 0bone arrows: 9Quill: full healthjavelins: 5[/sblock][sblock=Group Inventory]Animals:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lizard Skin: 60% & 40% cover</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Peccary Hide: 50% & 20% cover</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sheep Hide: 10% & 30% cover</li> </ul>Minerals:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slate: 1 rock: (sound x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Flint: 1 rock: (heat x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Heartstone: 1 stones: {+ Confluence}</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Coal: 2 lumps: (Heat x3)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lodestone: 1 stone: (Shock x3)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slickstone: 1 stone: (-Heat x3)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Yellow rock (Sulfur): 1 lump: ?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">bluish rock (Waterstone): 1 stone: ?</li> </ul>Ores:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zinc: 18 ingots: {+ Health} (+Body x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tin: 16 ingots: {+ Persona} (-Mind x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lead: 4 ingots: (-Body x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Iron: 13 ingots: {+ Confluence} (+Body x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Copper: 1 ingot: {+ Persona} (Shock x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">dark metal (Nickel): 1 ingot: ?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">heavy metal (Manganese): 1 ingot: ?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">yellowish metal (Molybdenum): 1 ingot: ?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">dark metal (Palladium): 1 ingot: ?</li> </ul>Plants:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Muddle Leaves: 4 measures: (-Mind x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Soothe Leaves: 1 measures: (+Mind x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rend Leaves: 1 measure: (-Body x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mend: 1 measure: (+Body x2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Muddle Flowers: 1 measure: (-Mind x3)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Soothe Flowers: 1 measure: (+Mind x3)</li> </ul>.[/sblock]</blockquote>
