Bink's WotR part 2: The Gray Garrison and beyond!

[BelGareth]

Grace avoids one beast but manages to dive headfirst into the others hooves taking a serious hit against her collar bone, but nothing she couldn't handle, still standing, she points to the 'paladin' "SHE IS EVIL! AND I WILL SLAY THEE ONCE I AM DONE WITH YOUR PETS" She bellows, as much for her allies, as for her.

Turning, she flushes with azure light as she strides towards the demonic auroch nearest Elrembriel.

"She uses illusions... She's nothing like a paladin, in case anyone had doubts!" Elrembriel exclaims, but then, several arrows hit her, forcing the girl to consider steps to protect herself.

"Ces archers cachés dans la brume
S'intéressent de près à mon cas
Alors je prendrai un costume
D'illusion, qui les trompera..."

Multiples images, duplicates of her appearance, begin to shift and move all around her as she moves away from the furious horned animals, while taking a wand from the folds of her robes.

The heroes converge, leaving another slain aurochs in their wake, upon the enemy paladin. As Grace dashes up to one flank, Morevek appears in the other, delivering a nasty slice with his katana. "To me!" she calls, commanding her allies to rally to her defense. Hissing in pain and anger, the woman reins her steed away from the Tiefling swordsmen, into a cautious retreat. Even so, she cannot fully escape without exposing herself to a swipe from Radiance. Grace's focus and determination draws still more blood, threatening to put the enemy down permanently.

In the next moment, the final aurochs plows through the trio of melee heroes, scattering them and sending clods of earth flying in every direction. Filburn just manages to make the most of his invisibility to avoid the incoming beast entirely, while both Grace and Morevek avoid the worst of the creature's flailing hooves and horns.

A volley of flaming arrows erupts though the lingering traces of the obscuring mists, though some divine protection seems to see Grace through without a scratch. All six arrows streak into the distance, illuminating the underside of the oppressive cloud cover and doing exactly nothing dangerous to anything living.

Then the paladin regains her wits. As she disappears into the mists, another cloud rises from the ground beneath the heroes. This one carries a faintly greenish hue, and brings with it sickly cloying vapors.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

One trample- Morevek and Aurora take 9 damage (both passed reflex saves). With invisibility, no attack, and loads of movement to spare, I granted Filburn an "all-or-nothing" save to move to an unaffected square. He passed and takes no damage.

The archers all failed spectacularly.

The paladin conjures sickening cloud under the melee heroes' feet. Morevek passes the fortitude save and is not sickened. Both Filburn and Grace (believe it or not) failed their saves. Interestingly, Grace recognizes the cloud as illusory (through a successful will save), but remains effected regardless. Because these spells are weird like that.

Map updated

[BelGareth]

Grace manages to avoid the worst of the angry bovine, as well as slicing the spell caster as she disappears, and then she promptly vomits onto the ground, sickened beyond anything she has felt in a long time, the green vapors coming from the ground turning her stomach, though, she knew it wasn't real, but she just couldn't stop it.

Gaining composure, if only for a bit, with vomit staining her once regal armor, she moves closer to the archers, knowing she needed to get them into range to allow the others to deal with the last bull. She strides on accelerated legs towards two of them, swinging Radiance like a shining bolt of lightning upon the sinners.

Elrembriel remembers her mother's lessons with a shiver of dread. Touch the illusion, feel it, and let it go. At least, those efforts come handy now, and the young elf takes some satisfaction at the thought that these same teachings can now serve her to oppose the wretched woman's designs as best she can. She confidently moves forward into the green cloud, and just like that, it disappears from her view altogether, exposing all the enemies. She moves further, to get a clear line of sight, and begins to cast.

"Foin des nuages toxiques
Issus de l'imagination!
Voilà une flèche caustique
Et ce n'est pas une illusion!"

A shaft erupts from her hand, yellow-brown in color, made of a smoking liquid that hits the mounted spellcaster in the face.

Waylan and Morevek join forces to thoroughly dispatch the remaining aurochs. Pierced several times, the beast never sees Morevek's blade coming. The supernaturally sharp katana slices neatly through horn and skull, leaving the huge creature bleeding profusely into the dirt.

Elrembriel launches a greenish bolt through the illusory cloud, and effectively covers the mounted paladin with a thick layer of gooey acid. She cries out in pain as she wheels her mount further from Grace (and Filburn, though she doesn't know it in the latter case).

As Filburn enlarges, he steps menacingly closer, bizarrely undetected, all things considered.

Finally, Grace charges into the line of archers, and begins to lay about herself with Radiance. One archer grunts in pain as he steps further away, but she fails to be effective with most of her attacks.

When the enemy responds, their efforts are notably lessened by the losses they've taken. Even so, the injured archer manages to focus his efforts on Grace with marked effect.

Spoiler: OOC

bg1 hit Grace twice! One hit for 10 damage (counting the flaming arrow bonus), and a crit for 27 damage! Yes, I'm a little excited. Grace is hard to hurt XD

bg2 sucks, and managed to miss Elrembriel twice. (some extremes with this batch of rolls)

bg3 sucks less, and hit Elrembriel for 13 damage, but missed with his second attack.

mp used her mount to withdraw again, and succeeded at her check to do a thing. It's an SLA again, but your characters will quickly recognize deeper darkness, (not dark enough to prevent dark vision yet, but it prevents low light within the radius).

Map updated

[BelGareth]

Grace scowls at her lack of efficiency as Radiance failed to find a solid mark, and winced in pain as the burning arrows smacked into her, finding joints on her armor, or just punching through on a few weak spots, ignoring the arrows for now, with flames licking her from shafts she steps closer to the nearest bowmen, azure energy filling her eyes, judgment and righteous wroth in her hands.

[Gwynfrid]

Elrembriel finds her resolve bolstered by the illusion-wielder's attempts to hide. Determined to not let the treacherous woman get away with it, she runs forward, her feet light as the wind under the power of her magic. On those few days during their journey that have been free of overcast weather, the light of the sun, as always, has been painful to her eyes, and she finds a strange relief when she enters the conjured darkness. It is a powerful one, even the tenebrous eyesight she acquired from her horrible contact with the demon only lets her barely see the fleeing woman on her horse - just enough. She can barely contain the swell of power rising through her hands and eyes as she casts:

"Oui, c'est bien la puissance des Abysses
Qui laisse mes yeux percer les ténèbres
Parfait, j'en tirerai bénéfice
Pour hâter ton oraison funèbre!"

From outside the darkened area, most of her companions can't see what kind of magic she unleashes, but the streaks of bluish light that flash through are a clear indication, as is the telltale vibrating noise her wand makes as deadly shafts of arcane force slam into her enemy.

Round 5

Waylan nods in grim satisfaction as Morevek's blow sends the auroch tumbling heavily into the dirt, pierced by arrow after arrow. "Hyahh, Auspice!" With no time to waste, he spurs the warhorse in a counterclockwise circuit around the sickening cloud, covering his allies with a volley of arrows against the enemy archers.

Double move to S5-T6.

[Farmerbink]

As Elrembriel conjures a devastating spray of stony flakes, the paladin manages to effectively take cover behind her mount. With no such protection, the unfortunate beast is shredded almost literally to pieces by the blast, leaving the woman too beaten to stand. Bleeding and doused in magical acid, the paladin falls behind her mount, and does not rise (save the charge of the wand).

The archers find themselves beset by a trio of capable warriors, each of which manages to leave their mark in one way or another. They frantically step away from Grace and Morevek, in a desperate bid to make space to shoot. Whether possessed, unaware of the impending rout, or otherwise incensed to fanaticism, they release another set of two arrows each- most aimed at the wizard who has so effectively devastated them.

Spoiler: OOC

bg1 actually hit Grace again! With one of this two arrows for 10 piercing and 2 fire (flaming arrows)

bg2 remains comically bad.

bg3 sucks notably less, and connected with Elrembriel for a lot of damage. 5+5 from one hit and 26+5 from a crit after. 41 total, 10 of which was fire.

mp has been dropped. She is in the low negatives, but is important enough to the story that we're going to resolve her for real once the archers have been managed.

Spend one Black Blade Arcane Pool point to apply Black Blade Strike (Free Action, +2 Damage for one minute)

Charge B2 (with reach Filburn will be in squares T12-U13) vs Flat-Footed AC (since Filburn is "Utterly Undetectable" until the attack. Charge attack: (1d20+12)[29] to hit, (1d20+12)[30] (19-20/x3), (2d6+10)[18] magical slashing damage, (4d6+20)[29] critical strike damage.

If this attack doesn't drop B2 he will use Champion's Strike - Sudden Attack (Swift Action, 1 Mythic Power per use, Free Attack, Roll Twice, Bypass DR) on the same target: Champion's Strike - Sudden Attack (1d20+10)[28] or (1d20+10)[21] to hit, (1d20+10)[29] (19-20/x3), (2d6+10)[16] magical slashing damage, (4d6+20)[39] critical strike damage.

If either attack misses, he will use Mythic Surge to improve the (best) to hit roll: (1d6)[5] added to the d20. Probably not needed.

In a sudden flurry of violence, the remaining hostiles collapse in a heap of various bloody injuries. Undoubtedly, without immediate medical attention, the trio of archers will bleed out (if they're not already dead). None of the aurochs' chests rise and fall with breath, though your immediate inspection isn't the most thorough.

In a few moments, the clouds dissipate, though not before the group shares with each other its odd quasi-illusory state.

When you get to the fallen paladin (whether quickly or not), she breathes raggedly, but doesn't appear in immediate danger of death. Perhaps more problematic than anything, in her belt pouch you immediately locate a simple chit- undeniably linking her to your own army. According to order, she should have been wearing it above the left breast, in plain sight. Clearly, something is very wrong here.

[BelGareth]

Grace vomits one more time, falls to her knees, wiping the liquid from her mouth, she regards the arrows sticking into her, and pulls out a dagger to help in the work of removing the arrow heads, satisfied, she moves over to the leader, and seeing her breathing raggedly, hurries to bind the woman, and then places her hand upon her, letting healing energy flow through her into the woman.

Morevek glides toward the fallen foes, noting Grace's ministrations. In his magically reduced stature, the swordsman's katana is easily placed in readiness to end any attempt by the fallen 'paladin' to respond to Grace's mercy with violence.

[Gwynfrid]

Sudden exhaustion washes over Elrembriel, and the slender elf girl takes a few staggering steps, before she has to sit on the ground, panting. She gratefully lets Erastil's blessed energy wash over her, closing her wounds, and nods a sign of thanks to Waylan. It takes her a minute before she's recovered enough to pay attention to any dealings with the vanquished "paladin".

[Farmerbink]

The paladin sputters into consciousness, struggling uselessly against her bonds. A baleful glare shifts from face to face, but she says nothing.

[DarkOne-Rob]

Filburn notes the woman coming back to consciousness, but leaves the situation in Grace's hands for action. He doesn't look excited about the situation, but recognizes the need to look into things with a possible demonic-defector. However, the last time he accused a paladin of treason did not go as he intended, so...
