    With the fire having died down and most of the foes in range now about the carriage, Aelia's options for targets she could see decently drastically shrunk. She moved around to get an angle as best she could and threw yet more fire.

    Lanius dropped his bow and drew the rapier. Positioning himself back to back with Lenna, he began slashing and kicking at the crawling little terrors.
    "I should have killed bandits with better gear", he murmured, all to aware how little protection the thin leather armor gave him.

    Round 10
    ———————-
    The shadowcats on top of the carriage failed to bring blood from Lanius.

    Lenna‘s arrows missed the vile creatures at her feet.

    Aelia on the other hand found a better angle, blowing the charred remains of one right of the carriage and burning the other.

    Lanius quickly dispatched the last one after drawing his rapier, and stood ready to kill the next one to climb up.

    Two Cats who were already climbing suddenly showed their faces.
    One attacked Lanius and the other Lenna.

    Lanius slew the one that came at him.

    Lenna was attacked (1d20-1)[11] Damage (1d4-1)[1]


    Meanwhile. Two shadowcats attacked Bok before scurrying on to the carriage and starting their climb as a small group of six more monsters fell upon the duo behind them. Of them, Corey is the main target taking the attacks of 5 as he tries to defend his friend.

    Bok was lost to a rage, punching at the nearest Cat and killing it with his bare hands.

    And of course, while she was waiting for the swarm to get in range (and once it did what a strange sight it was), one of the shadowcats came directly for her. She could see the others were too busy defending themselves, so she'd have to deal with the one charging at her herself.

    For a split second, Lanius had over extended himself - and was promptly punished for it by the enemy. The cut smarted, but wasn't crippling. Not yet anyway.

    Lenna failed miserably to shoot the shadowcats right in front of her, as she was too focused in avoiding their attacks, which she managed to do successfully.
    Finnally the swarm could be seen ahead of them, advancing towards her direction. She looked at it in horror, but couldn't waste much time studying the monstrosity, as shadowcats still surrounded her and her new companions.

    "You two down there! Fall back!!!" She yelled at Bok and Corey, as they now stood isolated between the shadowcats that had passed them and the swarm.

    With that, she continued firing arrows at near point-blank against the shadowcats on the carriage.

    Round 12
    ———————-
    Lanius’s blade ended a Shadow cat and narrowly missed another.

    Lenna killed another Cat then put an arrow deep into the carriage roof. Her call to Bok and Corey was heard and most likely saved their lives. Bok struggled to retreat but Corey was there to make sure he did. They took some hits from those around them but moved far faster than the main shadow Cat swarm, staying just ahead as they headed to join Aelia.

    Aelia backed away as she injured the cat coming at her, her speed was greater than his but it gave everything it had just to be standing 10ft away from her.

    There were 2 dark monsters on the carriage attacking wildly.

    Lenna was attacked (1d20-1)[15] Damage (1d4-1)[1]
    Lanius was attacked (1d20-1)[15] Damage (1d4-1)[3]

    (Bok has 5 hp left)
    (Corey has 7)

    The swarm blanketed over one of the horses and it fell to the ground neighing in pain. The cacophony of shadowcats soon drowned it out. A wet chewing and tearing sound hummed under their chaotic cries.

    Instead of elegantly jumping from the roof, rolling and landing in a crouch, Lanius managed to hit his foot on the edge of the carriage, tumble unceremoniously to the ground and ripping open his trouser leg, leaving quite a bit of skin on various stones. The swarm was upon him, but luckily the creatures hadn't expected his blunder either and several of the creatures jumped over his prone form.
    Getting up as fast as possible, despite the new injury, Lanius stepped to Lael's side, stabbing at her closest assailant.

    Round 13
    Upon being attacked by one of the shadowcats, Lenna abruptly turned her face towards the creature, her face glowing with sinister expression and features, and hellish flames enveloped the beast.
    She barely had any time to think, as the carriage started rocking violently when one of the horses thrashed out of control. It was but for a stroke of luck that the elf managed to shuffle about and stay on her feet, she didn't even want to think of what would happen to her had she fallen.

    The sounds of the swarm devouring the other horse were sickening, and Lenna wanted nothing to do with that.
    She carefully climbed down the carriage and ran towards Aelia.

    Reaction: cast Hellish Rebuke, dexterity save with DC 13 or take 2d10 fire damage. Half on a successful save. Target the shadowcat that looks the most hurt out of the two who attacked Lenna.

    Round 13 Action: climb down the carriage, move 20ft towards Aelia, Bok and Corey, then continue moving 35ft more.


    Round 14
    As Lenna drew closer to Aelia and friends, she fired an arrow at the shadowcats who were on them.

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    Action: move 35ft further away from the carriage, while trying to stay out of reach of the shadowcats that are on Aelia, Bok, and Corey (diagonally), and fire an arrow at the shadowcat that looks the most hurt out of the ones attacking them.

    Round 14 & 15
    ———————-

    Soon, Bok, Corey, Lenna and Lanius all arrived at Aelia’s side. As a group they despatched two of the immediate threats, leaving two more remaining to deal with.
    Corey cried out in pain as more claw marks were added to his already riddled body.
    Bok and Corey fight back injuring the creatures.

    After Lenna’s Hellish Rebuke there was only one SC left on the roof, it clawed at the window until it found a way in.
    That’s when Elphas the paladin burst out the carriage door, guided by his faith he roared in the name of his god as he swung his morningstar wildly!
    He got in a ferocious hit moments before the swarm retaliated likewise. In less than 10 seconds he was down and reduced to nothing but Shadowling food.

    There were screams and sobs from inside the carriage but luckily, Elphas’s corpse was enough of a distraction that they managed to shut and lock the door.

    Lenna was completely focused on the shadowcats attacking Bok and Corey until the sounds of wild beasts and splintered shields caught her attention back towards the carriage. She's sickened by the sight of the swarm downing Elphas with one single attack.

    She instinctively continues moving back, away from the terrifying swarm, and prepares another arrow, now to fire at the dreadful beast who continues to lurk under the carriage.

    As she focuses and aims at the swarm a purple spectral aura starts to emanate from her eyes and her wrists. Her hair starts to spike up, and her face starts to shift with monstrous, repulsive features such as fangs and an unnaturally large mouth.

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    Lenna will continue to move away from the swarm and from the shadowcats who are attacking Bok and Corey, diagonally positioning herself while still staying at most 150ft away from all targets (in range to be able to attack any of them if necessary). She will move on both turns until she reaches the limit of 150ft or the maximum amount of movement she's able to do (35ft per turn).

    Her aura and monstrous face are effects of her using her Hexblade Curse feature to curse the swarm, causing her attacks against it to deal 2 extra points of damage, and crit'ing on 19s or 20s. Once (if) it dies she regains 4 hit points.

    Attack on round 15 against the swarm: (1d20+5)[10]

    Attack on round 16 against the swarm: (1d20+5)[9]

    Lanius' face hardened. He hadn't talked much with the paladin, but Elphas had been part of his group. Losing him filled him with rage. They needed to act. Corey and Bok were still alive and needed help, so he charged to their opponents and attacked the shadowcats there.

    With a few fighting over the remaining bones and bloody clothes of Elphas, the majority of the swarm looked up and charged at Aelia, the source of the firebolts. Coming within 20ft of her, their incoherent babbling takes on a new haunting effect as the sound gets into her head.

    Lanius continued to strike at the remaining solitary foe. Keeping Corey on his feet, so he could help Bok seemed to be best strategy to keep as many of the group alive as he could - which admittedly was at the moment a losing proposition - one way or the other.

    Lenna will continue to move away from the swarm and from the shadowcats, diagonally positioning herself while still staying at most 150ft away from all targets (in range to be able to attack any of them if necessary). She will move on both turns until she reaches the limit of 150ft or the maximum amount of movement she's able to do (35ft per turn).

    The enemy on Bok was slain by Lanius, Corey quickly dropped down to check on his friend. He was still alive. Then he began to drag the hulking man away from the oncoming swarm.

    Lanius had barely encountered the swarm when he felt a piercing pain at his side. He had barely time to think "Damn cheap leather..." before blackness encroached upon him and he fell on the ground. He felt the swarm taking bites out of him before unconsciousness mercyfully took the pain away.

    Im precisely at 0 HP with the first attack. Second attack is made with advantage - if successful, it will cost me two death saves.

    Aelia sees Lanius go down and shouts, "If you can, help him please!" Knowing that right now their best bet is her keeping the swarm's attention off of the others as she proceeds to throw more fire at it.

    Round 19 & 20
    ———————-

    With Aelia and Lenna’s fire and arrows the last remaining shadowcats are dispersed from Lanius’s body, a meal they would not get to finish. There were those few that tried to carry on despite mortal wounds but soon death took them, other attempted to limp or crawl away but had no fight left to resist a heavy boot or swinging weapon from the rest of your arriving party. Late but better than never.

    The battle with the shadow cats had lasted only a couple of minutes, but they felt like long minutes. The fight had stretched far and wide, the small bodies of many shadowy demons lay scattered out far and wide across the floor. They did not dissipate into the shadows in death like shadowlings, instead remaining to rot. The crippled slow clicking and squealing, now either accompanied by a wheezing or gurgling depending on the injury, was a deformation of the dying shadowcats earlier sounds. It was dull and sporadic, coming from various places where a Cat tried desperately to cling to life. Still, it was haunting.

    The following few minutes continued to be hectic as lives still hung in the balance. Emotions were high and many shouts were thrown around in attempted orders and seeking aid. Injuries were assessed and people were sent to and fro the carriage for supplies.

    Having no magic left and little supplies. those with knowledge did what they could. Working together, soon Lanius and Corey were stabilised enough for movement.

    ——————————


    The rest of the trip to the farmhouse would be a slow one, the remaining horse was injured and struggled with the carriage alone, not including bodies or supplies. Then there were the unconscious, and the dead. The mood was a mixed one, sorrow for the dead, horror for the tragedy, fear for what could have been and elation for surviving. Many heartfelt gratitudes were sent your way.

    As soon of the adrenaline of the fight and having to help the injured wore off, she felt numb with exhaustion and just from being emotionally overwhelmed. But a few moments after seeing Elphas' remains she burst into tears and bawled for several minutes, unable to really sense the rest of the world for a bit. When she later found herself in the carriage she took a few moments to calm herself and then got out and started walking, to ease the burden on the horse.

    Upon the swarm's defeat, Lenna checks on Aelia and Lanius, her appearance now back to normal. She then walks back towards the carriage, to examine the dead creature, and try to retrieve some of her arrows. Through the rest of the trip she remains serious and silent, and along Aelia decides to walk as to not overburden the remaining horse.

    In the end nearly every who could, was walking. Or limping at least. The mood that hung over their heads was a somber one. Words failed to be found, be it due to exhaustion, the loss of life or the mental fatigue of their circumstances.

    As you approach the farmstead you begin to notice the odd arrow and bolt either broken or stuck into the ground. Beyond the tall stone walls of the travellers inn, a magical light source puts a welcoming soft glow into the sky. However, the barricade of wooden furniture and spiked wood blocking the entrance is far less inviting.

    Despite the entrance being barred, it still looks to make the most secure place to rest, with the other buildings looking decrepit and forgotten, not to mention a lot more open and easier for enemies to access. Without words a consensus is reached by the others that this building was far enough and would do, although they leave it up to you to find a way in.

    An eerie silence hangs over the ‘Pilgrims Rest.’ You cannot see in beyond the walls and the makeshift blockade, but you can smell the undeniable stench of death permeating from within.

    Lanius had awoken in pain. Which, he had to admit, was better than not waking up at all, but still hurt. The makeshift bandage kept the important bits in place, but already smelled horribly. Thirsty, he downed the contents of his waterskin until he found himself strong enough to get up. It hadn't been his first brush with death and likely wouldn't be his last if they didn't find some better shelter soon. A wave of his hand cleaned him and his clothes - including the wound dressing. Another one warmed his clothes enough that he could withstand the general chilliness he felt.
    Feeling not unlike a zombie, he started to move to get rid of the onsetting cramping. When they finally reached their destination he frowned:
    "Seems like the monsters were already here - and maybe still are. Bones down the road, scratch marks along the perimeter. And considering the climbing skill of those shadow cats, this barricade must have been pretty useless on the whole."

    Both at the site of the fight against the swarm and as they arrive at the old farmhouse, Lenna is able to find many arrows that are still in good shape. "Lanius.. I hope you're doing better now. Here, take these, wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have any more need for them?" She says as she gives Lanius 10 arrows. She then turns to Aelia: "I also found these there aren't half bad, but still require some repairing... I noticed how you did some repairs on the carriage earlier, so maybe you can help me with these 4 arrows too? I'd appreciate it."

    As they arrive at the farmhouse, she adds to Lanius' remarks: "you are right... there's been a battle here. And there's more, do you notice those tiny mounds around the building? There's about a dozen of them." Lenna says as she approaches one small indent where the sand looks softer, as if it had been dug and then filled back it. She kneels and closely inspects one of them. "They look like the ground has been dug by small creatures in the past couple of days. I wonder what this means. Do you have any experience with these at the Adventurer's Guild?"

    It was Isah that spoke reply, her eyes firmly fixed to the barricade. Gaider stood at her side leaning heavily on the beautiful bard.
    ”No.“ she said flatly. ”We spare no focus for the dirt.“ she added condescendingly. ”and neither should you. Despite those small wretched things climbing skills, their numbers have been reduced, and since we don’t know what else is still out here I believe this is where we should rest.”

    Isah was not being helpful, instead waiting impatiently for someone to decide how they were going to get in.
